The climate of Tianyue Island in late spring is very comfortable.

The sky is full of Weilai, and occasionally a sea breeze blows, which makes people feel refreshed.

During the construction of Tianyue Island, the construction unit followed Chen Xiao's original design to ensure the integrity of the island's plants to the greatest extent possible. The reeds and mangroves added a touch of greenery to the island.

Because there are plants, animals are also attracted.

It turns out that the habitats of creatures such as birds and turtles on the island have not been destroyed.

If someone uses a drone or a helicopter for a bird's-eye view, then this is definitely an island park with excellent scenery.

Among the lush greenery are Changtian Technology's Severe Lung Disease Treatment Center and Changtian Technology's newly built Natural Science Research Institute. .

In the conference room of the intensive care center, Chen Xiao organized the senior management of the treatment center to come to a meeting.

Qu Ping and others sat opposite Chen Xiao.

Shurou, Huang Ling and other high-level executives have heard about Bristol-Myers Squibb's relevant requirements and the pressure from relevant departments on Changtian Technology.

Just now, everyone is still discussing.

I feel that as a private enterprise, Changtian Technology always needs to be responsible for its own enterprise, its employees, its own users, and finally to the society and the country.

The result of this discussion is not that the employees of Changtian Technology are selfish, but that the size of a private company is too small to be able to take such a big responsibility.

Shurou and Huang Ling's people definitely have no way to make decisions for the boss, but their discussions also represent the thoughts of some employees of the intensive care center to a certain extent.

Many employees discussed in private and said, "It's impossible for a private company of Changtian Technology to be responsible for the health of the entire Xia people, right?"

"Changtian Technology does not have so much energy, nor so much responsibility and responsibility."

Everyone in the conference room fell silent.

In fact, everyone knows that the boss Chen Xiao is under a lot of pressure.

The following is a rant, but the actual situation faced by the company is another matter.

In the final analysis, Changtian Technology is a private enterprise of Xia Guo.

There is a lot of cooperation with many departments of Xia Guo and related academies.

No one knows what decision Chen Xiao will make in the end.

At this moment, Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Today we have a short meeting. The theme of the meeting is to discuss how to deal with Bristol-Myers Squibb's initiative to cooperate with us."

Chen Xiao's laughter made the atmosphere in the conference room a little more relaxed.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Xiao said to Qu Ping: "Qu Ping, give me a copy of the list of patients currently queuing overseas in your family."

Qu Ping immediately arranged for an assistant to print the list.

At this time, Chen Xiao said: "I think everyone should know what happened during this time."

"I also know that everyone has some different ideas in their minds, and even feels a little wronged."

"I'm all worried, why are the medical results researched and developed by Changtian Technology's life science and medical laboratories so easily given to foreign pharmaceutical companies?"

Chen Xiao never said empty words during meetings.

Therefore, his opening remarks directly pointed out some of the thoughts of the employees below.

As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion.

"That's right, Mr. Chen, we absolutely cannot agree to cooperate with Bristol-Myers Squibb!"

"Although Bristol-Myers Squibb seems to be very ambitious and is willing to give us the agent of targeted therapy, this is just to give us the agent, not to give us the corresponding technology."

"And the cost of targeted therapy is very expensive. Even if we get it, the patients we face are some wealthy patients in Xia Guo, and it cannot benefit the public."

"This kind of deal is very bad for us."

Everyone in the conference room was talking, wanting to express some of their opinions.

The more they talked, the more enthusiastic the atmosphere became, and even some younger middle-level managers were indignant and aggrieved at Bristol-Myers Squibb's actions.

Chen Xiao just smiled. When he came to talk at the middle and high level, he didn't speak from beginning to end.

After a long time, Chen Xiao just squeezed his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.

At this time, Qu Ping's assistant had already printed out the list of more than 10,000 people.

The list of more than 10,000 people, just the name, age and some symptoms is a big line, so this list is very thick.

The assistant was worried that Qu Ping was going to look up the specific information of a person on the list, so he took the laptop over as well.

Each patient who is queuing for treatment has specific information, in addition to their name, age and symptoms, as well as their occupation, background, family situation and so on.

Therefore, these materials must not be printed out, and can only be viewed at any time through a laptop connected to the system of the treatment center.

Qu Ping got the list and sent it to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao said at this time: "I know what everyone is thinking."

"I always feel that Shiguibao Company put pressure on relevant departments and Xia Guo Academy of Sciences, and then let these departments and Xia Guo Academy of Sciences put pressure on Changtian Technology. This approach is unethical."

"But what I'm saying is, it's a business game."

"Everyone here is related to the company's life science and medical laboratories, or medical staff in the intensive care center."

"In addition to our identity as a researcher, we also have an identity as a medical staff."

"What is the role of the medical staff?"

Chen Xiao smiled and looked at everyone.

This question is actually very simple, even a non-industry person can answer it.

"The duty of medical staff is to save lives and heal the wounded."

Chen Xiao said with certainty: "We use combined colony therapy to treat patients and bring these critically ill patients back from the gate of hell."

"Similarly, major hospitals across the country use drugs such as Boluding and Stacey to treat hepatitis B patients or leukemia patients. Hospitals, even Bristol-Myers Squibb, are not fundamentally different."

"Although Changtian Technology is a private company, we have the obligation and responsibility to make our own contribution to the health of the Chinese people."

"Xia Guo has at least 100 million hepatitis B patients, and more and more teenagers are suffering from leukemia."

"There are some drugs that are life-saving for them, just like the combined colony is a life-saving drug for some patients with severe lung disease."

Chen Xiao glanced at the crowd and said, "I now hope that the life science and medical laboratories will grow stronger in the future and overcome more medical research problems."

Gu Meng "I hope there will be a drug with better efficacy than Bolodin and Stacey, which will be born in our laboratory."

Chen Xiao's remarks made many middle and high-level people at the scene bow their heads and dare not speak.

The positions occupied by people are different, and the heights from which they look at problems are also different.

There are many middle-level youths who even clenched their fists, holding back their hearts.

They felt very aggrieved.

Why can Changtian Technology be under such coercion today?

It is because the scientific research capabilities of the medical community in Xia are worse than those in the United States.

It is because of many deadly medicines that Xiaguo's medical industry still has no way to develop and produce it alone, and can only beg the large pharmaceutical companies in the United States.

Begging on people will be controlled by people after all.

This is the eternal truth.

Everyone looked at Chen Xiao and felt very uncomfortable.

They all thought that the boss had said so much that he must have compromised Bristol-Myers Squibb.

However, Chen Xiao said so much just now, and some middle and high-level Chengdu members of Changtian Technology Intensive Treatment Center have already expressed their understanding.

Even if the boss finally decides to compromise with Bristol-Myers Squibb, everyone can accept it.

Chen Xiao added: "But as a responsible company, we are willing to make our own contributions to the health of the Chinese people, it does not mean that the life science and medical laboratories and planting data centers of Changtian Technology are fat on the cutting board. , to be slaughtered."

Chen Xiao now changed the subject again, which made the people in the conference room suddenly raised their heads and looked at Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao said with a smile: "Everyone knows that Bristol-Myers Squibb Company used unfair means to coerce Changtian Technology."

"This practice is disgusting."

"Since the other party is not willing to negotiate with us legitimately, but instead uses these small tactics, then Changtian Technology does not mind using some improper means to fight back."

Chen Xiao shook the list in his hand and said, "According to the accurate figures in the background, there are currently 15,783 overseas patients who have paid the deposit or paid the full fee and hope to be treated in our intensive care center. "

"The number of patients in the United States is 8,627."

Chen Xiao said: "Everyone knows that our intensive care center adopts a dual-track charging system."

"For domestic patients, we will consider his economic conditions, so the charges must be within his affordability. Even if the family conditions are relatively poor, as long as he is seriously ill, he can apply to our Tianyue Island for treatment. ."

"But for overseas patients, the treatment fee we charge is more than ten times that of domestic patients. Part of the overcharged money is used to subsidize domestic patients, and the other part is directly deposited into the relevant funds established by us. middle."

"So overseas patients, especially those in the United States, can come to Tianyue Island for treatment, either rich or expensive."

The United States is a system of government and business.

Those who are engaged in politics must be rich. If businessmen want to obtain greater benefits, they must obtain political capital.

He may try to become a member of parliament or even a senior position himself, or he may collude with people involved in politics to benefit both.

Some previous chicken soup articles said that the GUAN members in the United States are not corrupt, nor will they suffer.

Seeing such a description, Chen Xiao only laughed a few times.

Indeed, on the surface, the United States certainly does not have these phenomena.

That's because the so-called "going and accepting" are legalized in the United States. For example, when a person elects a local councilor or a government official, it is possible to ask and win some business people in the society to donate money to build momentum.

Those local businessmen are not fools, don't they need benefits if they donate money to you?

If he donates 1 meter to you, he will definitely ask for 10 meters or even 100 meters in return. After you win the election, you will definitely serve them.

As for the queuing list in Chen Xiao's hands, many of them are very influential members of Congress, businessmen and lawyers in the United States.

These people have quite a voice in the United States and can even influence the formulation of some policies.

Not everyone is afraid of death.

But certainly the richer people are, the more afraid of death.

These people can spend a lot of money to line up early, hoping to go to Tianyue Island earlier to receive the combined colony treatment, which shows a problem - these people must be afraid of death.

When Chen Xiao mentioned this, the people in the conference room suddenly realized.

Chen Xiao is using his own way, and he is also behaving in his own way.

Since Bristol-Myers Squibb Company can find ways to influence the relevant departments of Xia Guo and Xia Guo Science, then of course Changtian Technology also has its own way to influence the bigwigs in related industries in the United States, and let these bigwigs exert pressure on Bristol-Myers Squibb Company.

Qu Ping felt a little excited when she thought of this, her face was crimson, and there was a glittering look in her eyes.

Chen Xiao put the list on the table and said to Qu Ping, "For those who have come to Tianyue Island and are being treated or waiting for treatment, forget it."

"Other overseas patients who are queuing, email or call them immediately."

"Inform them that the intensive care centre's treatment plan for overseas patients is over."

Chen Xiao said very calmly: "All patients who have paid the deposit or paid in full will be refunded."

As soon as Chen Xiao said this, the entire conference room was in an uproar.

They never thought that the boss would fight back in this way, and it was so resolute.

To know that more than 10,000 patients, the profit generated is not a small number.

Chen Xiao added: "Of course we can't terminate the treatment plan for overseas patients so suddenly~www.mtlnovel.com~ We have to remind them warmly by phone or email."

"It is because of Bristol-Myers Squibb's rude actions against Changtian Technology that Changtian Technology has no choice but to terminate the treatment plan of overseas patients."

Chen Xiao pointed at the table with his finger and said, "We must properly express the impolite behavior of Bristol-Myers Squibb and the helplessness of Changtian Technology."

"At the same time, tell them that if Bristol-Myers Squibb no longer has this hostile behavior against Changtian Technology, then Changtian Technology will of course be very happy to accept overseas patients."

When Chen Xiao said this, there was a burst of excited and warm applause from the entire conference room.

Changtian Technology also does not need to negotiate directly with Bristol-Myers Squibb, because Chen Xiao believes that there will be some American bigwigs who want to negotiate with Bristol-Myers Squibb.

At this time, Chen Xiao put away his smile and his face became serious.

Chen Xiao said seriously: "If we have taken this series of measures and still can't change the status quo, then Changtian Technology will admit it."

"Everyone of you sitting here, you can only grit your teeth for technical research!"

This time, the talents in the conference room put away their applause and smiles. They knew that the boss would not be willing to lose that breath even if he broke the boat!

After the meeting, Chen Xiao asked Gao Miao to bring a fishing rod to the beach to bask in the sun and fish.

Around 2007, Suhang Bay was still one of the largest fishing grounds in the eastern part of the Xia Kingdom, but with the development of the city and overfishing, after more than ten or twenty years, it is difficult to see big fish here, underwater corals. The group also died piece by piece.

Chen Xiao thought that if Changtian Technology develops and grows, it will protect the waters near Changzezhou and Tianyue Island, so that Changzezhou and Tianyue Island will not only be the scientific research bases of Xia Kingdom, but also more powerful. People's tourist destination.

Chen Xiao felt that it was a right choice to place Changtian Technology's headquarters in Changzezhou.

Today's weather is very good, cloudless and light breeze.

After a few days of intense work, both Chen Xiao and Gao Miao felt that they should relax.

On the coast, Yang Ling used a special fishing rod, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

If you can catch two groupers and roast them at night, the taste is still very good.

Chen Xiao thought about Shen Wei who was far away in Yanjing.

He is basking in the sun, blowing the sea breeze, and catching fish.

Shen Wei should wear a thick mask and scarf at this time and endure these harsh days.

Yesterday, Chen Xiao watched the news. Yanjing was smoggy and sandstorm again.

Next year will be the Yanjing Olympics. In order to change the Westerners' image of the heavy pollution of the Xia Kingdom, and to allow the people of the capital to breathe fresher air, Yanjing has relocated a large number of heavily polluting enterprises such as steel factories to other places. .

However, from the current effect, it does not seem to be very obvious.

In spring, there must be heavy sandstorms, and as long as there is no wind, it must be heavy smog.

Chen Xiao thought about when to invite Shen Wei to Changze Island to take a good rest.

Chen Xiao thought of the sweet and sour fish made by Shen Wei, ah... drooling.

Gao Miao handed Chen Xiao a bottle of orange juice, which she made after work.

Chen Xiao took a sip, and the taste was not bad.

Gao Miao observed Chen Xiao carefully and knew that he should really relax.

From the Shanghai stock market to Yanjing, from the development of the first 65nm lithography machine in Xiaguo to the research and development of the mutated joint energy bacteria, Chen Xiao has always been tense.

Gao Miao knew very well that although Chen Xiao only held the position of technical director in the group company, he was the real helm of the company, and all the pressure was on Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao made a slight error in his judgment, and for the group company, it would be irreversible.

And a few days ago, Intel has officially released the Core Duo chip, and it is on sale worldwide.

Although Gao Miao doesn't know much about computers and semiconductors, she is also watching related news these days.

Knowing that Intel's Core Duo chip has just been launched, it has been well received.

And it was snapped up by many PC companies, including Lianxiang.

This put a lot of pressure on the Pangu chip of Changtian Technology.

Gao Miao thought, Chen Xiao might really just be sneaking around.

Gao Miao smiled a little at the corner of her mouth. She enjoyed the feeling very much, and even hoped that such a pleasant time could pass a little slower.

In the intensive care center office, Qu Ping's team was very busy.

They are combing the details of overseas patients one by one, and they are sending emails or calling to notify these patients one by one, clearly telling these patients that there is no way for Changtian Technology Middle-level Treatment Center to continue to provide them with medical care. Serve.

Because of the large number of people, the detailed situation is described and notified by email, and the call is only to inform these patients to pay attention to checking the email.

Those patients who did not leave an email will be notified in detail by phone.

In order to complete this work, Changtian Technology's Firefly OS System Company has also specially developed a communication software, which uses artificial intelligence to answer the question to explain the matter to patients queuing overseas in detail.

"Hello sir, is this Mr. Rhodes?"

For some patients with more distinguished status, the staff will also call in person.

Although there is a time difference at this time, the patients who are queuing in the United States do not dare to mute their phones at all. They are on the front line of life and death, and they are waiting for the call from the Changtian Technology Intensive Care Center.

For them, if the Changtian Technology Intensive Care Center calls, it means that they are likely to be in line and can be treated. This is the hope of life.

It is now 4:06 PM in Yanjing time and 4:06 AM in New York time.

But after the phone rang extremely quickly, Rhodes quickly picked up the phone by the bed and clicked to answer.

Rhodes, 62 years old this year, is one of the important figures of the Rockefeller Group and one of the core figures of the consortium.

He is one of the principals of the group's MetLife insurance company.

The MetLife Insurance Company is one of the largest insurance companies in the United States. Last year, in 2006, the MetLife Insurance Company's operating income was as high as 50 billion meters. This figure is very scary.

In 2006, Lianxiang's revenue was only more than 14 billion meters, and MetLife Insurance was basically three to four times that of Lianxiang.

As one of the leaders, Rhodes was sitting on a huge fortune at a very young age.

Owning wealth prematurely may be unfortunate for Rhodes.

Because Rhodes was hollowed out by alcohol when he was young, he was diagnosed with three highs when he was in his 40s, especially his blood sugar control was very poor.

When I was in my 50s, I got sick again and had kidney surgery.

Long-term smoking, coupled with alcoholism, xidu and lesbianism, Rhodes' immunity has already had major problems.

At the age of sixty, he was diagnosed with lung problems.

There was a tumor in the lung, which was benign after removal.

Gu Ge

But severe emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and pulmonary fibrosis plagued Rhodes.

When Rhodes was sixty years old, he began to take oxygen at any time, even when walking, he always carried an oxygen bag with him.

What the doctor determined for Rhodes was that he only had 2 to 3 years to live.

Unless the entire lung is replaced.

However, because Rhodes' immune ability is extremely poor, there is no way to perform large-scale lung replacement surgery, and he may suffocate to death before the operation is over.

Rhodes didn't believe what the doctor said. Ever since he was sensible, he felt that money could buy everything, so he also believed that money could buy health and life.

So Rhodes did not listen to the doctor. Instead, he spent a lot of money across the country and even the world to find those hospitals that could cure him.

At the most extreme time, Rhodes didn't even believe the doctor's words at all, but spent millions of meters asking the witch to treat him.

But it is a pity that no matter if Rhodes traveled all over the world to a hospital that could treat himself, or went to the so-called well-known witches and spent millions of meters, his disease was not affected by it. The treatment is good, but it is getting worse.

Two years ago, he was able to walk with an oxygen bag with him, but today, two years later, he can only lie in bed and wait to die. Even sitting up, he has difficulty breathing, which is very uncomfortable.

He didn't see hope again until he heard a friend's introduction to Changtian Technology's severe lung disease treatment center, and also saw the reports of the "New York Times" and other media on the treatment technology of Changtian Technology.

Rhodes also spent a lot of money to hire a middleman, who brought Rhodes's relevant medical records and tried his best to personally go to the attending physician of Changtian Technology's Tianyue Island Intensive Care Center to communicate, and got the treatment plan and successfully. Line up, this is relieved.

The attending doctor of Changtian Technology's Severe Lung Disease Treatment Center gave Rhodes' treatment plan in great detail.

They will first complete the transplant of the combined colony on Rhodes, so that Rhodes has both the function of pulmonary breathing and the function of the combined colony to provide oxygen.

This is only the first stage of treatment.

After the first stage of treatment is completed, Rhodes will stay in the recuperation ward for recuperation until his body can have a certain ability to move and his immunity has improved to a certain extent.

Even at this time, Rhodes could not go back to recuperate on his own, because he had severe lung disease, although the plan required that the transplanted combined colonies be completed first to ensure normal blood oxygen saturation.

However, its lungs are severely damaged, and it may infect sick children at any time, causing systemic infection and affecting other organs, so it can only be recuperated in the convalescent ward of the intensive care center.

Rhodes is a special case, and other patients will have their lungs removed immediately after completing the combined colony transplant, just to avoid serious lung infection.

When Rhodes is almost recuperating, he will undergo a second operation, which is to completely remove his lungs.

The entire treatment plan is very perfect. Rhodes spent a lot of money to get the medical team of Changtian Technology Intensive Treatment Center to make a medical plan in advance.

At the same time, the entire treatment cost of Rhodes is also expected to be very expensive, which will be as high as 3 million to 5 million meters, about 24 million to 40 million RMB.

Such an expensive treatment cannot be afforded by anyone, but Rhodes is a billionaire, so this little money is just a drizzle for him.

Rhodes got the news very early, so he lined up at the front. If there is no accident, after three months, he will be able to go to Tianyue Island in Xia Kingdom for treatment.

According to Rhodes' current physical condition, it may be difficult to persist for a year, but it is relatively safe to persist for three months without dying.

Moreover, Rhodes has already applied for a visa to Xiaguo, and he has also purchased a property in the place closest to Tianyue Island, and changed this property into a private high-end ward. He also changed his private jet. For the air convalescent hospital, and let the high-end nursing staff serve him throughout the whole process, to ensure that the period from the United States to Tianyue Island before the operation can be smooth and smooth.

Where do you know that the sky is unpredictable, and the plan is not as good as change.

Now the staff of the intensive care center actually informed Rhodes that for some reasons, the intensive care center will stop the treatment services for patients outside the mainland of Xiaguo.

This made Rhodes stupid.

The intensive care center is Rhodes' last hope. If the intensive care center refuses to treat himself, Rhodes will surely die within six months.

Although it was after 4:00 a.m. US time now, after Rhodes answered the call, the whole person was not feeling well.

With the help of his escorts, he finally sat up from the bed, gasping for breath.

The escorts saw that the vital signs data on Rhodes' bedside changed very fast, the heartbeat had reached more than 130 times per minute, and the blood oxygen saturation concentration had also dropped sharply.

The **** immediately notified the personal doctor, who immediately increased the supply of oxygen to Rhodes, and instructed Rhodes to calm down, lie down on the bed, and not get excited.

At this time, the staff at Changtian Technology Intensive Care Center said: "Mr. Rhodes, I have already notified my side. Please check the email for the specific situation."

Just when the staff was about to hang up, Rhodes quickly asked, "Excuse me, what is the reason for stopping overseas treatment services, is it because I don't give enough money?"

"If the cost of treatment changes, I don't have any problems on my side."

In Rhodes' view, as long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem.

The staff said apologetically: "Because of Bristol-Myers Squibb's improper requirements and hostile competition for the combined service therapy, we had to take such measures. The detailed information has been sent to you by email, please check and see you again. Goodbye. "

After the staff member hung up, Rhodes hurriedly asked his personal assistant to print out the mail and send it to him.

One of them is a touching letter of apology from Changtian Technology Intensive Care Center.

The letter said that the intensive care center has always taken the lives and health of patients as its own responsibility, and hoped to treat more patients, but because Bristol-Myers Squibb Company put extreme pressure on Changtian Technology... Let Changtian Technology only shrink its policy to ensure More Xiaguo patients were treated...

After seeing such information, Rhodes almost died of anger~www.mtlnovel.com~ In fact, according to business rules, it is completely reasonable for Bristol-Myers Squibb to do so, but Rhodes now wants to live, so he Regardless of other companies' business rules and competition practices.

The letter tells Rhodes two key pieces of information.

The first is the reason why intensive care centers refuse to treat overseas patients.

The second is that if Bristol-Myers Squibb stops such behavior, the intensive care center will continue to accept overseas patients, and Rhodes will be saved.

Rhodes lay on the bed, breathing heavily.

He is sick now, but his mind is still clear.

Rhodes decided, whether through his own influence or through the influence of the Rockefeller Group, it was imperative to stop Bristol-Myers Squibb from such rude and impolite behavior, and to keep critical care centers admitting overseas patients.

And the faster the better!

Because he is only 62 years old! He wants to live!
