Back To The Age Of The '80s

"Why do you ask this, but I do have news about this matter. Novartis and the University of Chicago Biological Laboratory are in a stalemate. The patent for the UW solution has not yet expired. Apart from Novartis, there is no other buyer for this project. It stands to reason, Novartis has an advantage in this deal. However, the organ transplant association and non-government groups continue to put pressure on Novartis to apply the technology from the Chicago laboratory to the UW solution as soon as possible, so now both parties have no fear and are at a stalemate."

"But I guess, the stalemate won't last long. As long as the Chicago laboratory doesn't want to talk too much, Novartis will eventually agree." David on the phone seemed a little helpless, "The hegemony of knowledge..." He sighed.

Li Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and a smile flashed in his eyes, "David, don't be too absolute in everything. There are many changes in the world."

Three days later, Novartis announced that it would sign a contract with the University of Chicago Biolabs.

Ballroom of the Hilton Hotel in Chicago, USA

The waiters in the venue were busy, and many people had already come to the scene, including Novartis staff, staff from the biological laboratory of the University of Chicago, as well as representatives from the American Organ Transplantation Society, the International Organ Transplantation Society, non-governmental organizations, and representatives from the Chicago government. etc.

The contract signing ceremony will be carried out on time at nine o'clock in the morning.

"Congratulations, Professor Oni, this will be an excellent addition to your resume." People from the Organ Transplantation Association congratulated a man in his early thirties.

The man was tall and burly, with brown curly hair, black eyes, deep features, and a handsome appearance. He was the person in charge of this experimental project at the University of Chicago Biology Laboratory, Professor Oni.

"This is the success of everyone's joint efforts." Oni's face flashed with pride, but he spoke extremely modest words.

Due to external pressure, the price Novartis offered this time was not low, which was already a great success for a biologist in his early thirties.

"It's good that you know." An abrupt voice sounded, and an old professor with gray hair came from outside the venue surrounded by several people. His expression was serious, and the dimples on his face became more obvious because of his expression.

Oni's expression became a little stiff, he stood up and called out, "Teacher."

The old professor ignored him, but walked straight to the guest seats in the front row.

Oni's complexion turned green and then white and green again. After all, he was young and lacked some capital. He couldn't help but said: "Teacher, doing scientific research is for the progress of mankind. If you still ask others to sponsor scientific research funds, then that's okay." So sad."

The old professor's footsteps paused, he turned his head, his eyes swept across Oni like a sharp sword, "You know what I'm talking about." After finishing speaking, he continued to walk forward regardless of Oni's reaction.

Oni's good mood in the morning was gone. He took a deep breath, adjusted his expression, and then turned his head to continue talking to the person next to him.

The banquet hall was filled up one after another one after another, and the hour hand was slowly approaching the position of 9.

The people from Novartis entered the field in the last 5 minutes, and the leading few had fake smiles on their faces, and their expressions were really not good-looking.

Also, in their view, Oni’s diet is too ugly. First, he published papers in international journals at the first stage of the project, and then frequently accepted media interviews, publicizing the powerful role of his laboratory technology in reducing the side effects of UW solution.

This is not to say in reverse, the UW solution they produce has huge side effects.

But because of the technical patent, they had to hold their noses to discuss business with him, and the Novartis people were suffocating.

The "Dangdang" small copper bell was struck a few times, and the noise in the venue gradually died down.

The contract signing ceremony has begun.

The waiters took a piece of red cloth and spread it on the long table in the center of the venue.

Oni and Novartis representatives stood up and walked towards the middle of the table under the attention of everyone.The Novartis legal counsel handed over the two contracts to Oni and the person in charge of the company respectively.

O'Neill signed the contract neatly, and the two parties exchanged contracts.

At this moment, a young man with a Novartis work card trotted in from outside the banquet hall, ran to the Novartis staff area, and whispered something to the middle-aged man sitting in the first seat.

The middle-aged man's complexion changed drastically. Regardless of other people's reactions, he quickly walked to the long table and held down the person in charge who was about to start writing.

He whispered a few words in the ear of the person in charge.

The face of the person in charge of Novartis was surprised at first, and then he put down the pen in his hand with deep fear.

Turning his head, he looked at Oni with a half-smile, "Sorry, professor, I don't think we can sign today's contract."

O'Neill's hand handing over the contract froze in place, he frowned, and said, "Mr. Bryce, I know that our negotiation made you feel not so happy, but I think as the person in charge of Novartis, the people you met There are quite a few things like this. Now it’s a formal occasion for the signing of the contract, and there are quite a few people sitting below.”

He used the contract to point to the representatives of the association sitting in the first row and the media workers next to them.

Bryce shrugged and stood up straight, "I think they will understand my behavior soon."

"George, book the nearest flight, I'm going to Huajing in Huaguo immediately!" Bryce ordered loudly, without any intention of hiding it.

The project at Huajing is different from the side effect reduction technology developed by Oni based on UW solution. CH5 solution is a brand new organ storage solution, and the patent of CH5 solution as a blood growth solution has expired. In other words, when it comes to CH5 organ storage fluid, all pharmaceutical companies are on the same starting line.

As long as they sign the Huajing project, they will be able to monopolize the organ storage fluid market, just like Novartis is now.

Bryce couldn't help but lift his heart. Although for Novartis, the profit of organ storage solution is almost negligible, but the linkage market of organ storage solution is a big cake.

With the continuous development of artificial organs and long-term organ storage technology, and the continuous improvement of medical technology, it is definitely a trend to use organ replacement and transplantation to prolong life. If there is a pharmaceutical company that seizes the opportunity before this wave comes, it will surely win The benefits are endless.

"Novartis must not lose its advantage in this battle!" Bryce decided secretly in his heart.

David was much earlier than Bryce.

David and Li Zheng have been together for so long, so they naturally know that Li Zheng is not a gossip person. After receiving the call two days ago, he took it seriously and asked the people below to pay close attention to the project of human organ storage. Half an hour before Novartis signed a contract with the Biological Laboratory of the University of Chicago, he got a very interesting piece of news.

The Ninth Biological Research Laboratory of Huaqing University published a paper on the new application of CH5 solution in their national journal.

After special treatment in their laboratory, the CH5 solution will become a better organ storage solution than the UW solution, without any side effects!

The news made David stand up abruptly.

"Li is indeed Li, oh, I haven't seen him for a long time, I have to find him. By the way, this project was developed in the laboratory donated by us. I remember that we have the priority to cooperate. Inform the legal Department, draw up the contract, according to the best conditions." David smiled with sixteen teeth showing.

He touched his chin, turned his head and said to the person next to him: "Find someone, wait until Bryce signs the contract, and tell him the good news."

"Yes, Mr. Andorio."

Both David and Bryce got on the plane to Huajing here.

Li Zheng, who had just caused all these earthquakes, stretched lazily.

"You can leave work early today, um, let me treat you to dinner. Thank you for your hard work for so many days."

Sun Bin and Lu Keke looked at each other, that's it?A paper in a general journal?

A day ago, under their personal witness, the use of CH5 solution as an organ storage solution was discovered, and the performance of the adjusted CH5 solution was much better than that of the UW solution, which made everyone in the laboratory excited.

But they all thought it was a chance. After all, science progresses through inadvertent discoveries. Only Liu Sichao, who knew the inside story, sized up Li Zheng several times with his small eyes.

Looking at his gaze, it seemed as if he wanted to cut Li Zheng's brain open to see if he looked different from ordinary people inside.

Why is his luck so good? He can do whatever he wants.

"Tsk tsk tsk" It's a pity, it's a pity that such a good head and luck are not used for scientific research competitions, Liu Sichao couldn't help shaking his head secretly.

Li Zheng looked at the experimental data with a gentle smile on his face. He glanced across the laboratory table and picked up a journal placed on top.

"What is this?" Li Zheng didn't know much about domestic journals. When he was the director of the National Institute of Pharmaceutical Research, he started to run a journal.

Ahem, to be precise, someone else used his name to run a journal, and I heard that the response was pretty good.

Sun Bin glanced at the journal in Li Zheng's hand, and said with a smile, "Professor, this is a journal co-sponsored by Yanda University and our Department of Biology. It is considered authoritative in domestic biology circles." There is another sentence He didn't say anything, the excellent graduate thesis from the two schools will also be published in this journal and spread throughout the country.

This is also what many biology students, such as him, strive for.

"Oh~" Li Zheng raised his eyebrows, "Then let him."

"Zheng Guangye, please contact the person in charge of the journal. I hope to see our paper published in the journal before nine o'clock tomorrow morning." Now Li Zheng speaks with such confidence.

Zheng Guangye looked at Liu Sichao.

Liu Sichao couldn't bear it for a long time, "Hey, Li Zheng, big boss, are you kidding me, Jinniu project! Jinniu project! You put it in the journals run by two schools??"

Before Li Zheng answered, Sun Bin couldn't help but said: "Researcher Liu, 'Exploring Biology' is also one of the best in domestic biology journals!"

Liu Sichao turned his head abruptly and shouted, "Shut up!"
