February 14, 2007.

A domestic commercial vehicle with an ordinary license plate was driving in the downtown area of ​​Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Sitting in the car was Chen Xiao who had rushed over from Jiangzhou.

Today is Valentine's Day in the West.

In the urban area of ​​Suzhou and Hangzhou, many shops have already placed some decorations to celebrate Valentine's Day, and the radiance is very beautiful.

Many young people are also walking on the street with roses in their hands.

In Xiaguo in 2007, the plot of the people yearning for Western life was still very serious.

Some college students in Suzhou and Hangzhou even have a night out and carnival on Valentine's Day.

Treat Valentine's Day as a very important day in your life.

As for whether everyone really wants to celebrate this festival, or use this excuse to try to trick the girl into a hotel, this is unknown.

Seeing these scenes outside the window, Chen Xiao also couldn't help laughing.

In fact, different cultures can understand and communicate with each other.

It’s really nothing for Xia people to celebrate Christmas and join in the fun on Valentine’s Day, just like people from other countries celebrate Spring Festival. You can’t be beaten to death with a stick, just say you are worshiping foreigners. After all, Chinese people should have cultural self-confidence. Rather than cultural inferiority, rejecting all foreign things.

But the atmosphere in 2007 is obviously not as simple as just joining in the fun.

Among most of the campuses and young people in Xia Country, a kind of ethos has already formed.

National traditional festivals such as Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, etc. are symbols of dross and ignorance.

It seems that only Western festivals cannot show their positive, youthful and fashionable image.

There are two fundamental reasons for this social phenomenon.

One is that the level of science and technology of the Xia Kingdom is still relatively backward compared to the West.

Young people are the generation that accepts new things the fastest. They find that the products they are interested in that can represent the world's advanced technology come from the West, and they naturally have a kind of admiration for the West.

Another reason is that in terms of soft power, the West, especially the culture of the United States, has invaded the continent of Xia in an all-round way.

Movies, TV dramas, songs, sports, etc., most of the soft power products received by Xia Guo’s generation of young people come from the United States.

The driver, Uncle Liu, looked at the scenery on the street and couldn't help sighing: "What kind of monsters and ghosts are dressed up? Why don't you see these people wearing sackcloth and filial piety to visit the ancestors' graves during the Ching Ming Festival?"

Chen Xiao didn't quite agree with this point of view.

A generation has a generation of youth. With the strengthening of national power and the increase of soft power culture, this generation of young people will also become the one who respects traditional culture and is the most patriotic.

After 10 or 20 years, there will even be a new generation of young people who like to watch Marvel and watch American dramas, but they will stand up when the country is most difficult, and safeguard the honor of the country and the nation. pride.

A commercial vehicle drives over an overpass in the downtown area.

There is a huge advertisement on the flyover—Intel Core 2, which will be released globally on February 15th, Yanjing time, and February 14th, New York time.

Tomorrow morning is the day of the global release of Core 2.

For the technology industry, especially the PC industry, Intel's press conference tomorrow morning is particularly important.

Many PC companies will adjust their strategic plans based on the chips released by Intel.

Before most PC companies knew that Changtian Technology had already developed a 65nm chip with the title of Pangu, they had already placed an order with Intel.

The high-end PC chip in early 2007 has already been reserved by Intel.

Chen Xiao has arranged for Yang Fei and others to keep an eye on the specific situation of the press conference in New York.

Longsky Technology will make corresponding work adjustments according to Intel's global sales.

The reason why Chen Xiao was not in such a hurry to release the Pangu No. 3 chip first.

In addition to some problems due to mass production, the most important thing is that Chen Xiao has been able to confirm that the performance of the Pangu No. 3 chip is stronger than that of the Core chip, so it is more in the interests of Changtian Technology to play late than early.

After all, Wang Zha and 4 twos are usually played at the last moment, not in the first game.

After two hours.

The commercial vehicle drove to Tianyue Island in Changzezhou.

On Tianyue Island, Qu Ping, Shu Rou, Huang Ling and others were already waiting for Chen Xiao at the entrance of Tianyue Island.

In addition to the three of them, there are also relevant leaders of Suzhou and Hangzhou, as well as Luo Tianming, the CEO of the Shanghai Pharmaceutical Corporation.

After Chen Xiao came down, everyone stepped forward to say hello to Chen Xiao.

Qu Ping immediately came over to introduce the work progress during this period.

According to Qu Ping, the current life science and medical laboratories have deepened relevant experiments on the basis of the previous paper.

A stable colony population has been cultivated on a large scale using the mutated colonies of the patient Ding Kang.

The new colony was named "United Energy Bacteria".

The reason why it is named this way is to express the joint colony after mutation, and its metabolites not only contain oxygen, but also energy substances and peptide hormone substances needed by the human body.

Qu Ping said: "After the large-scale cultivation of joint energy bacteria in our laboratory, a large number of light yellow metabolites appeared in the colony pool."

"These have some products, which are really energy substances with high thermal energy."

Qu Ping said: "Let's not talk about how many minerals and other compounds human beings need in these substances, just talk about energy."

"We have analyzed that the energy used by 100 grams of this metabolite is about 900 to 1000 calories."

This heat is indeed very considerable.

Because 100 pieces of chocolate contain only 589 calories.

The metabolites of joint energy bacteria are almost twice as high as chocolate.

This basically explained why the patient Ding Kang did not have to eat after the operation.

The colony can provide the patient with the heat and some compounds necessary for life.

Patients only need to ensure that the colonies can survive, add nutrient solution regularly, and ensure that the battery is sufficient, then there is no problem.

Chen Xiao did not expect that this accident would actually open a new chapter in biomedicine.

What's the use of this kind of research results aside?

At least in the medical field.

Patients with severe lung disease and diabetic patients can be treated thoroughly.

Qu Ping held a thick stack of experimental reports in her hand.

He still has more detailed experiments to report to Chen Xiao.

The technical things are not clear in a few words.

But now Qu Ping has more important things to report.

"At 3:00 p.m., relevant personnel from Bristol-Myers Squibb will arrive at Tianyue Island to visit our intensive care center and laboratories."

This visit was led by Bristol-Myers Squibb's Vice President Cassian and Technical Director Snyder.

In Chen Xiao's impression, he didn't like any pharmaceutical company in the west.

It is true that Western pharmaceutical companies have made significant contributions to the advancement of human science and the salvation of the world.

But all Western pharmaceutical companies are cannibals.

The reason why they are willing to save lives and heal the wounded is not because he has no lofty moral character, or how kind and caring he is, hoping to actively help human science progress and treat these patients.

It is because of interests.

The reason why they can develop high-quality drugs with extremely high efficiency.

It is because these drugs can make money.

And it is a monopoly to make money.

In the hospital.

You can see that the drugs of companies like Bristol-Myers Squibb can save patients from life and death when they are at their most critical moment.

But you are in the three countries of Afghanistan, in Uzbekistan and some third world countries around the world.

Western pharmaceutical companies are playing the role of the devil.

They utilize advanced technology as well as strong capital.

Set up biomedical laboratories in these third world countries.

And use money or other means to skip the high-cost laboratory demonstration stage and animal experiment stage, and directly use human body to conduct experiments.

These actions are definitely illegal and unethical.

But in order to save research and development costs, and to be able to find out as soon as possible what effects the drugs they have developed have on the human body.

Therefore, bypassing the previous stages and conducting experiments directly with human bodies is the most perfect.

These Western pharmaceutical companies are not like Xia Guo, Li Shizhen and Shennong, who use their own bodies to test the quality of drug toxicity.

Their philosophy is.

Others go to **** and make big money on their own.

The third world countries are inherently poorer.

Therefore, some institutions in these countries have acted as thugs for Western pharmaceutical companies.

In addition, the citizens of these countries live in poverty, and they may face death at any time without eating their last meal.

Since they will starve to death if they don't have enough to eat, it's better to earn some money to serve as human experiment subjects.

Even after taking some experimental drugs, it is better to be able to eat a full bowl of food and feed your family when you are seriously ill than to starve to death.

No trade no harm.

poor person must have something mean.

Some ancient sayings of the Xia Kingdom can profoundly interpret the meaning of itself among these countries and companies.

Based on these reasons.

Chen Xiao didn't want to deal with Bristol-Myers Squibb.

However, Chen Xiao still wanted to give face to the leaders of Suhang City and Xiaguo Pharmaceutical Corporation.

The fact that Changtian Technology was able to take root in Changze Island in Suhang City has played a big role in the development of Suhang City.

Not only financial support, but also policy support.

Continuing to maintain a good cooperative relationship with Suzhou and Hangzhou City is what Chen Xiao values.

This time, the intermediary Shanghai Stock Pharmaceutical Corporation is one of the most important pharmaceutical companies in Xia Country.

Changtian Technology can't say when it will need help or convenience from the Shanghai Pharmaceutical Corporation.

Chen Xiao also didn't want to have some unpleasant things happen with the Shanghai Pharmaceutical Corporation.

Therefore, under the coordination of the two parties.

Bristol-Myers Squibb's visit that Chen Xiao agreed to.

Anyway, related papers have been published.

Chen Xiao himself is not afraid to deal with these western pharmaceutical companies.

Chen Xiao said to Qu Ping: "Is the laboratory ready?"

What Chen Xiao meant was that the laboratory has some confidential and core content.

If you can't show it to Bristol-Myers Squibb's team, try not to show it to them.

Don't treat these people as kind people.

Qu Ping nodded and said: "The core things have been hidden."

Qu Ping is very relieved about the effectiveness of her work.

He nodded and said, "Then get ready for the reception work."

Afterwards, Chen Xiao exchanged pleasantries with the relevant persons in charge of Suzhou and Hangzhou and Luo Tianming of the Shanghai Pharmaceutical Corporation.

3:00 p.m. sharp.

The convoy led by Maybach drove into Changze Island and entered Tianyue Island through the cross-sea bridge.

This car is much more advanced than the domestic commercial car that Chen Xiao took when he came here today.

Bristol-Myers Squibb earns a lot of money around the world.

There are many drugs, such as pd lung cancer targeted drugs and hypoglycemic drugs, which are unique monopoly products in the world.

Monopoly products are of course the most profitable.

Therefore, it is understandable for Bristol-Myers Squibb Shanghai Branch to provide luxury cars to the vice president from the head office.

Chen Xiao was too lazy to greet him, so he asked Qu Ping to greet him instead.

After 3 o'clock, the convoy arrived at the entrance of the intensive care center.

Cassian, vice president of Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Snyder, technical director, got out of the car.

Qu Ping stood there neither humble nor overbearing, smiling.

This is standard equal reception etiquette.

And Luo Tianming quickly put a smile on his face, bowed slightly at 30 to 40 degrees, and immediately ran to the side of the Maybach car, and said in English very politely and enthusiastically: "Warmly welcome Mr. Cassian and Snyder The professor is here in Suzhou and Hangzhou!"

Seeing Luo Tianming's posture like this, Qu Ping couldn't help laughing.

But she can understand.

After all, the biggest profit of the Shanghai Pharmaceutical Corporation comes from the agency of overseas drugs.

And Bristol-Myers Squibb is one of the biggest parent companies.

Let's not talk about anything else.

It’s just an agent to sell diabetes drugs, or it’s a cooperation between Bristol-Myers Squibb and a pharmaceutical company in Xiaguo, so that this Xiaguo pharmaceutical company can produce Bristol-Myers Squibb’s hypoglycemic drugs as an agent, and earn some price difference and patent fees from it. Let the Shanghai Pharmaceutical Corporation make a lot of money.

Seeing the God of Wealth, of course he is as humble as a grandson.

Qu Ping finally understood why Chen Xiao didn't want to come and greet her in person.

Because he himself is very disgusted with these behaviors.

Cassian and his American team have also visited Xiaguo more than once.

They were very used to and enjoyed Luo Tianming's attitude.

There is no way.

The one with technology is the uncle.

If you want to rely on others for food, then you have to put away your arrogance.

After simple greetings and introductions~lightnovelpub.net~ Snyder put forward his request.

"We hope to visit patients who have been successfully treated by the combined bacterial colony, and hope to enter the life and medical laboratory of Changtian Technology to learn more about the therapeutic principle of the combined bacterial colony."

"Mr. Luo should be fine, right?"

Snyder and Cassian did not have a formal conversation with Qu Ping from the beginning to the end, but directly informed Luo Tianming of their request almost as an order.

Because they haven't figured out the relationship between Shanghai Pharmaceutical Corporation and Changtian Technology.

I thought that the relevant medical laboratories of Changtian Technology should obey the command of the Shanghai Pharmaceutical Corporation.

Luo Tianming hurriedly said: "No problem, definitely no problem, we discussed these things in advance."

Qu Ping suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and said: "Everyone, please follow me."
