On this day, Tang Xiaobao was chatting on the phone with Luo Ya in the living room, when Wu Bing suddenly came in.
He seemed a little anxious.
Tang Xiaobao saw this and said to Luo Ya: "Okay, I have something to do here. I'll call you when I'm free."
After hanging up the phone, he asked Wu Bing: "What's wrong? Is something wrong? Are those two girls bullying you again?"
"No, no." Wu Bing said quickly: "There are many reporters outside."
Tang Xiaobao frowned.
He's been very popular lately. He hasn't been on the headlines for a long time. Why did you find him again?
Wu Bing continued: "Two officials from the Ministry of Health are here with a foreigner. I heard that they are representatives of the Nobel Prize jury and they want to see you."
"oh."
Tang Xiaobao understood.
Now that November is over and December has entered, it stands to reason that it is time to announce the Nobel Prize, but why are they coming home?
I'm a little confused, but since everyone has come to visit me, I can only meet him.
Tang Xiaobao said: "Okay, let's bring them in. As for the reporters, just leave them alone and wait outside."
He doesn't like reporters now when he sees them. These people are just chasing rumors.
Soon, Wu Bing left and returned, followed by three people. One of them was wearing a suit, the other was carrying a briefcase, and the third was a foreigner in his sixties with yellow hair and blue eyes.
Tang Xiaobao stood up and greeted him with a smile: "I don't know if your distinguished guest is here, but I am not welcomed from afar. Please sit down."
Wu Bing took the three of them to sit down and then went out.
At the gate, all the brothers were ready.
They never dare to treat reporters lightly.
The three of them sat down and the nanny brought them tea.
Tang Xiaobao asked: "I still don't know who the three of them are -"
The bespectacled man in his thirties carrying a briefcase stood up and introduced: "Mr. Tang, this is our Vice Minister of Health Liu Jun, and this is Mr. Paul Carr, the head of the Nobel Prize Jury. I
My name is Liu Yan, and I’m Minister Liu’s secretary.”
Tang Xiaobao nodded and said with a smile: "It turns out that Minister Liu is here. Do you have anything to do with me?"
Liu Jun laughed and said: "Mr. Tang is a busy man. If there is nothing to do, I don't dare to come and disturb him. As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you should go to the Three Treasures Hall. I came to visit you today, but I have great news to tell you."
"Yeah?"
Tang Xiaobao laughed: "I'm curious about what the good news is."
He's so curious.
Everyone on the Nobel Prize jury is here, do you still need to ask?
Sure enough, Liu Jun smiled and said: "I think it's better to let Mr. Paul Carr do the talking. He has a deep understanding of our Chinese culture and speaks Chinese very well."
Tang Xiaobao smiled.
This Nobel Prize did not let him go to receive it, but came to him. Obviously, it was impossible to let him win the prize so easily.
There is another bet there.
Paul Carr said: "Mr. Tang, on behalf of the Nobel Prize Selection Committee, I would like to inform you that this year's winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine will be you. I am here to inform you to receive the award."
Tang Xiaobao was stunned: "Is it that simple? I know that I was shortlisted, but doesn't the specific result have to be announced on the spot? Why is it decided in advance?"
"Because Mr. Tang has made a great contribution to the medical field, almost no one can compare with it. The Shenlong Regeneration Pill you developed has given hundreds of millions of patients a new life. It is natural for you to win this award."
Tang Xiaobao smiled and said: "Is it that simple? Why do I feel that it is impossible? Are there no additional conditions?"
Paul Carr shrugged: "I knew Mr. Tang would definitely ask this."
"It's not that I'm smart, but... there's no need for you to come all the way to tell me this. I can't bear it."
Tang Xiaobao is still laughing.
Paul Carr said: "Okay, let me tell you the truth, there is no problem in awarding this award to you, but you also know that no one in China has won this award. In the past, you Chinese people wanted to win the award.
It’s also difficult. I like Chinese culture, so I can honestly say,
This is the current situation. In foreign countries, there is still some resistance to Chinese culture. People think you are too conservative and too old-fashioned, and the Chinese medicine you advocate is still controversial. Therefore, when evaluating awards, we also encountered many
There was resistance, and eventually, we came to an agreement."
"Say it."
"They have found five of the best Western medicine authorities in the world and want to compete with you to see whether Chinese traditional medicine or Western medicine is more powerful. If you want to win this award, you must accept this challenge.
, if you agree, you can get this prize no matter whether the result of the game is victory or defeat.
, you can understand that this is a declaration of war by Western medicine against Chinese medicine. Of course, this matter has been notified to you a long time ago, but this time, it is more formal, and this time it is more beneficial to you, regardless of winning or losing.
, you can get the award, this is a huge happy event, Minister Liu, are you right?"
Paul Carr laughed.
Minister Liu Jun smiled and nodded.
As the Minister of Health, he was naturally very happy that a Chinese person could win the Nobel Prize in Medicine.
This is the honor of the Chinese people.
"Yes, thank you very much for your help." Minister Liu said politely.
"Oh, Minister Liu, you are too polite. We have always been friends, haven't we?"
Paul Carr laughed.
They were laughing, but Tang Xiaobao couldn't laugh anymore.
Do I have to accept the challenge to win the prize?
Moreover, it seems that during the award evaluation, this Paul Carr also fought hard for himself?
It seems that the Ministry of Health is also involved.
You can win the prize, but is it pure?
Tang Xiaobao doesn't care about such an award.
"Okay, Mr. Tang, if there are no problems on your side, we will be waiting for you in Stockholm, Sweden, on Christmas Day, OK?"
Paul Carr said to Tang Xiaobao: "Oh, I forgot to tell you that reporters outside know about this matter. They also want to hear your answer now. Will you accept the challenge?"
Tang Xiaobao looked at Paul Carr expressionlessly.
Minister Liu Jun on the side nodded slightly to him.
This is a sign that he agrees.
No matter you win or lose, there will be prizes to be won.
This is the Nobel Prize in Medicine.
The highest level award in the world.
This is a moment to win glory for the Chinese people.
"I give up the prize!"
Tang Xiaobao said word for word.
"What? What did you say?" Paul Carr had a ghostly expression on his face: "What did you say? You want to give up the prize?"
"That's right, I abstain!" Tang Xiaobao said in a deep voice.
"Oh my God, God, what did I hear? You actually want to give up the prize. Do you know what the prize is? This is the Nobel Prize in Medicine. The bonus... Okay, you don't care about the bonus, but how many people's lives are this?
Pursuits and dreams, every Nobel Prize winner can be remembered for generations and be remembered by the world and history, do you understand?"
Paul Carr's expression is exaggerated.
On the other hand, Minister Liu and his secretary looked gloomy.
