Fifteen minutes later, Fei Kexin's helicopter landed on the top floor of the Buckingham Palace Hotel.
Ye Chen took Su Ruoli, Chen Zekai, and Hong Wu and boarded the helicopter together.
Half an hour later, the helicopter flew over a remote building in the suburbs of New York City.
Here is the Fei family's medical technology center.
This building is the only building within a radius of two kilometers. It is 25 stories high and is surrounded by very tight security.
After getting off the helicopter, Fei Kexin took the initiative to walk in front, leading the way while saying to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, this is a medical technology center funded by my grandfather before, mainly to develop and test some relatively high-end and advanced treatments.
Methods and drugs, including the most advanced proton therapy system and cellular immunotherapy in the field of cancer, are available here, and they are the best in the world."
At this time, Fei Kexin thought of something and said: "Oh, by the way, Mr. Ye, you should have heard of the Mayo Clinic, right? It is known as the top cancer hospital in the world."
"I've heard of it." Ye Chen nodded and said, "Mayo has a long-standing reputation around the world. There should be very few people who don't know about it."
Fei Kexin smiled slightly and said: "The members of our cancer team here have more than 60% overlap with Mayo's. Their top experts also serve here. We even go further than Mayo in cutting-edge scientific research."
It should be further away, after all, Mayo itself still has to consider profits, but profits are not considered here."
Speaking, Fei Kexin added: "In addition, here is the top organ transplant center in the United States, the top cancer diagnosis and treatment team, the top cardiovascular and cerebrovascular and anti-aging research team, and our freezing center is underground.
The fifth floor is designed to operate for three hundred years. Grandpa said before that if he leaves, he will be frozen here immediately to leave a ray of hope for the future. Maybe the technology in two to three hundred years can bring him back to life.
.”
Ye Chen nodded and sighed: "It seems that maintaining such a medical research institution costs the Fei family a lot every year."
Fei Kexin sighed: "It should start with at least one billion U.S. dollars every year. At its peak, there were times when it burned through two to three billion U.S. dollars a year."
Having said this, Fei Kexin added: "However, although we do not pursue profitability here, it is indeed profitable. Some effective scientific research results can also be commercially realized and can create a lot of money."
At present, more than 70% of the costs here can be recovered. This is the case in the medical industry. Although the investment cost is high, once top-level specific drugs or very good new treatments are developed, one or two billion US dollars can be earned a year.
It’s not difficult. If you bet on a single product correctly, it’s possible to turn a loss into a profit.”
Ye Chen agreed and said: "The biggest fear in the medical industry is not being willing to invest in research and development costs. Some pharmaceutical companies have been sitting on just a few drugs for years or even decades. It is difficult to make any social contribution. Or
A lot of money needs to be invested in research and development to benefit society.”
Fei Kexin nodded and said seriously: "Mr. Ye is right. For the medical industry, research and development is very important, so after I took over the Fei family, I did not reduce the budget here. Instead, I added another one to the original one."
30% to 50% flexible budget.”
The two of them were chatting and had arrived at the elevator entrance on the top floor.
At this time, the elevator just came up. When they opened it, three men walked out. One of them recognized Ye Chen at a glance, and then said to Ye Chen with great excitement: "Mr. Ye! Oh my god! It's really true.
You Mr. Ye!"
Ye Chen frowned and looked at the man speaking in front of him, and was surprised to find that the man in front of him was actually the person in charge of the US FDA, James Smith, who he had contacted before!
