Shanghai market, a private coffee shop.
Xue Xiaofeng, Li Bailu, and Chen Jerry, a Chinese from rice, had coffee together.
Xue Xiaofeng came from the countryside. After graduating from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, he first worked for Samsung, and then successfully applied for a job in Changtian Technology.
This road is not easy!
Xue Xiaofeng will always remember that when he was in Murakami elementary school and high school in the town, he got up early, and even in the winter, he wore sandals and walked in the mud to go to school.
The daily meals are dry rice and pickles at home.
Xue Xiaofeng also remembers that when he was in college, his roommate often went back to the school to eat three yuan and five yuan cheat sheets, but he didn't dare to go out at all. He could only buy two more steamed buns and kimchi in the morning, and hid in a place where no one was around at noon and afternoon to eat secretly. , I am afraid that my classmates will laugh at me when I see it.
Xue Xiaofeng understands that the tuition fees for his university are all bursary loans, and the living expenses are earned by his parents and sisters in the farmland relying on meager grain, vegetables and poor livestock.
Xue Xiaofeng is not an only child, she also has an older sister. In order to allow herself to study, Xue Xiaofeng's older sister also paid a lot. She dropped out of school early and married a farmer on the next team, just to reduce the burden on the family.
There are beautiful women in western Sichuan, and there are indeed many beautiful women in the University of Electronic Science and Technology of Shanchuan Province.
Xue Xiaofeng, who walked out of the mountains, is also the first lover. She has a girl she likes in school and her classmates.
But looking at the youthful smiles of the girls, watching them go in and out of KFC (around 2000, it was a luxury to go to KFC), and went to Chunxi Road to buy beautiful clothes from Jeanswest and Metersbonwe. For the money, buy a little more Nike and Adi.
Xue Xiaofeng has a serious inferiority complex. He has no money, so he can only watch the girl he likes being caught up by other boys, and go to the small hotel outside the school to roll sheets on weekends.
Xue Xiaofeng was heartbroken, but he also knew that he might not even have the money to open a house.
Since then, Xue Xiaofeng knew that only by studying hard could he have a way out.
Therefore, he successfully obtained a master's degree and a doctorate degree from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, and entered the Samsung Xiaguo to work.
After work, the economic conditions will improve.
Later, seeing that Changtian Technology was looking for chip talents, and the salary was several times that of Samsung, Xue Xiaofeng successfully applied for Changtian Technology.
Li Bailu was Xue Xiaofeng's former boss at Samsung, and he was also Xue Xiaofeng's guide.
When Xue Xiaofeng just went to work at Samsung Shanghai Branch, because he had not yet passed the internship period, he had no salary, and the company did not arrange housing.
It was Li Bailu who took him in and borrowed 500 yuan to tide over the difficulties.
It is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to give charcoal in the snow.
Xue Xiaofeng always remembers this kindness.
Li Bailu introduced and said, "Xiao Feng, this is Chen Jerry, the (deputy) manager of Korn Ferry's Xiaguo District. I mentioned it to you on the phone before."
Chen Jierui nodded, saying hello to Xue Xiaofeng.
Chen Jierui looked at Xue Xiaofeng up and down. In fact, before meeting Xue Xiaofeng, Chen Jierui's team completely grasped all the information of Xue Xiaofeng.
This person is a genius in the IC field, and his thesis as a graduate student has attracted the attention of many overseas IC companies.
However, this paper was robbed of credit by another well-to-do classmate with the same name, who was recommended by the school to study at Stanford University in the United States.
Xue Xiaofeng has only a hard-working doctoral student to prepare for the exam. This incident has become a regret for Xue Xiaofeng all his life.
In this era, if you can be recommended by the school to go to the United States for further study, you will definitely not have to worry about tuition fees, and the outstanding young people of this era are very longing for the United States.
However, gold shines everywhere. Xue Xiaofeng has also experienced and suffered many hardships. After graduating from a doctoral student, he broke through the siege of ten thousand people and entered Samsung to work.
Samsung originally planned to let Xue Xiaofeng work in the Xiaguo District for a few years, and then went to work in the South Korean research laboratory, and promised to give South Korean nationality, but Xue Xiaofeng was poached by Changtian Technology.
As a top scientific research employee of Samsung, and now Xue Xiaofeng, a C7-level scientific research talent of Changtian Technology, there is absolutely no problem in terms of ability.
As one of the largest headhunting companies in the world, Korn Ferry certainly has its own intelligence line and talent pool, as well as its own set of algorithm logic and working methods for poaching people.
The reason why Korn Ferry took a fancy to Xue Xiaofeng of C7 also has its own logic.
Xue Xiaofeng's birth is somewhat similar to the Phoenix man of later generations.
Although the individual is very good, but there is a heavy family burden.
In particular, I have a strong sense of guilt towards my parents and sister, and I hope that through my own efforts, I can change the life of the family.
After Xue Xiaofeng worked in Changtian Technology, the economic conditions have indeed been greatly improved.
Sometimes the family of origin cannot be changed with money. After working in Changzezhou, Xue Xiaofeng bought a property in Suzhou and Hangzhou with his own money, and took over his parents, sister, brother-in-law, and nephew's family.
I hope my sister-in-law can find a job in Suzhou and Hangzhou.
But the two people without education, one can only work in restaurants, the other in construction sites, and their parents are not used to everything in the city, and even pick up the garbage in the community at home.
Xue Xiaofeng's guilt towards his parents and sister and brother-in-law made him compromise without limit.
In front of outsiders, Xue Xiaofeng is the best of the best. After graduating from a doctoral degree, he works in Changtian Technology. He still has three houses in Changze, and he also bought a house in Suzhou and Hangzhou. This is definitely the fifth king of diamonds.
Xue Xiaofeng also fell in love with a local girl in Suzhou and Hangzhou who thought she was a foreign company. The girl is a native of Suzhou and Hangzhou, with fair skin and beautiful appearance.
After the two fell in love for half a year, Xue Xiaofeng asked the girl to meet her parents, and confessed her family, and hoped that the two would be able to take care of their elderly parents together after marriage.
How did she know that when the girl saw Xue Xiaofeng's parents, saw this state and living environment, and heard about Xue Xiaofeng's family, she thought about taking care of her parents together in the future, and she retreated.
This is the end of this love.
Every experience of Xue Xiaofeng is a piece of data.
These data were collected by Korn Ferry International, and when they touched the negotiation line, Xue Xiaofeng was the best target.
Chen Jierui said: "Dr. Xue, I'll cut to the chase. This time I asked Mr. Li Bailu to be the middleman, just hoping to talk to you about your future work."
Xue Xiaofeng has been looking at the coffee in front of him. He used to be poor and could not afford coffee, so when he became rich, Xue Xiaofeng frantically bought tens of thousands of coffee machines and the best coffee beans in the world to make up for his past. youth.
Chen Jierui said: "I received an entrustment from Intel and came to talk to you. Intel hopes that you can join and serve as the R&D team leader of the chip department."
Intel, Xue Xiaofeng moved in his heart.
At the beginning, Intel was one of the most desirable companies in the IC industry.
Gu Jun
Students who robbed themselves of their places to study at Stanford University were eliminated when they interviewed Intel.
Chen Jierui said: "The other party offered an annual salary of 5 million meters and promised to give you green card and skilled immigration qualifications."
Xue Xiaofeng's heart skipped a beat.
Five million meters knife!
About 30 million RMB!
He is now in Changtian Technology, and he only has more than one million yuan a year, plus the bonus and stock dividends at the end of the year, it is only less than three million yuan.
Intel's annual salary is basically ten times that of Changtian Technology, and the other party gives rice knives and immigration qualifications to the United States.
These are the things that many people dream of! Green cards and immigration qualifications can't be exchanged with money.
Chen Jierui has been observing Xue Xiaofeng's expression, and continued: "Dr. Xue, I know you are worried about your parents, sister and brother-in-law. You can rest assured..."
"There is no discrimination in the United States, everyone is equal, everyone has the opportunity to work, and you will not look down on you because of your birth, ethnicity, and work."
"If you want, your parents, sister and brother-in-law can go to live in the United States, and when the time is up, Intel can assist you with immigration eligibility and provide them with jobs."
If Chen Jerry's words were said more than ten or twenty years later, most Xia Guo netizens would laugh out loud.
Are all Americans equal?
Isn't this the joke of the century!
But in this day and age, everyone, including Xue Xiaofeng, firmly believed in this sentence.
Change the environment!
To be able to get rid of the humiliation and discrimination of the past, and to have a new beginning.
Moreover, with 30 million meters a year, I will have no worries about food and clothing in this life.
Xue Xiaofeng said: "Mr. Chen, I have accepted your kindness, but I also know that there is no free lunch in the world."
Xue Xiaofeng said: "Changtian Technology Chip Research Institute adopts classification and fragmentation management. Except for President Chen, no one knows the complete chip research process."
This point has long been considered by Intel.
Therefore, Intel's plan to implement this time is a one-pot event!
Let the major headhunting companies aim at the core team of Changtian Technology, break them down, and find them all.
In this way, the carbon crystal storage can be completely replicated.
So Chen Jerry said: "Dr. Xue, this is not something you and I consider. Intel must know about the situation you mentioned. Since it wants to dig you over, there must be his reasons. We are also a regular headhunting company, not a spy company. You won't be allowed to steal technology, so please rest assured."
Since then, Xue Xiaofeng was calm and said, "I have to go back and think about this matter."
Chen Jierui also nodded and said, "Dr. Xue, we will give you some time to consider, and I hope you can make the right choice."
Chen Jierui's last sentence made Xue Xiaofeng break the defense. He said: "If Jing Yu (Dr. Xue's girlfriend) knows that you have the opportunity to immigrate to the United States, she should be very happy. Although Xia Guo is developing rapidly, whether it is technology Strength or economic strength, including education, is far behind the United States."
"Even if people don't think about themselves in this world all their lives, they still have to think about their families and the next generation."
Xue Xiaofeng's heart was beating wildly, what Chen Jerry said was very reasonable.
If Jing Yu knew that she was going to immigrate to the United States, she might let go of her prejudice against her family and be willing to be with herself.
Xue Xiaofeng also does not want his next generation to study as hard as himself and climb up step by step. He hopes that the next generation will have a very favorable learning condition.
Xue Xiaofeng was really poor and scared. In addition, Xue Xiaofeng encountered unfair treatment when he was in college, and his research results were robbed by wealthy and powerful classmates.
To a certain extent, he was very disappointed, and he believed that the United States must be fair and just.
Li Bailu also helped and said: "Xiaofeng, I think what Mr. Chen said is very reasonable. Even if you don't know how to think about it yourself, you should think about it for your next generation."
"It's true that you are very good, and Changtian Technology is also very good. You can work in Changtian Technology, and you are already regarded as the top person in Xiaguo's scientific and technological talents."
"But can you guarantee that your daughter-in-law and your children will be able to work in technology for a long time in the future?"
"If they go to work elsewhere, do you guarantee that they will be treated the same as you? Is it the same level of play as you?"
"Xiaofeng people don't kill for themselves. I think you should really consider this matter."
After this meeting, Xue Xiaofeng was muddleheaded and restless all day, thinking a lot in his mind.
On the one hand, he feels that Changtian Technology is a very warm environment, where everyone is equal and does not feel any pressure, and the development of the Pangu 3 chip also gives all the researchers a sense of accomplishment.
It can be felt that they are contributing to the scientific and technological progress of this country. This sense of honor and achievement, as well as the pride of the country, cannot be bought by a lot of money.
On the other hand, Xue Xiaofeng was thinking about her family, her elderly parents, her unemployed sister and brother-in-law, and her favorite lover who left her because of her family.
If you go to the United States, everything will be equal and free from scratch, will everything be better, especially your next generation, who can receive the best education in a fair environment, and your children will definitely be better than yourself Live easier, happier and healthier.
Under this kind of repeated entanglement, Xue Xiaofeng felt that the whole person was about to collapse.
At the same time, there are a total of 10 people in the chip department of Changtian Technology, who have received an invitation from their closest relatives, friends or elders to negotiate one-on-one with the gold hunters of a world-renowned headhunting company.
They all received invitations to work in the United States, and their salaries ranged from 500,000 meters to 5 million meters, far higher than their own income in Changtian Technology.
Not only that, but they also received a promise from the United States that they would grant green cards and immigration qualifications~www.mtlnovel.com~ The originally peaceful Changtian Technology Tianyue Island suddenly became turbulent.
The United States is an immigrant country, and the technology companies in the United States have a very strong appetite. If you can't research it yourself, you can go and grab it. Anyway, you have to bring the relevant technology over. Build a new kind of bandit logic.
The espionage incident of Xie Linna and Zhang Bo happened in Changtian Technology.
After this espionage incident, Chen Xiao was very cautious in employing people. All scientific and technical personnel who enter Changtian Technology must undergo strict ideological and political examination.
Moreover, Chen Xiao has never believed in human nature. He believes in the system more on the basis of human nature. Therefore, Chen Xiao has his own monitoring system for the confidentiality principle of Changtian Technology.
This time, several core figures of Changtian Technology's chip laboratory contacted an internationally renowned headhunting company. Changtian Technology has obtained relevant information from it. Wang Xiang immediately compiled the relevant information into a report and reported it to Chen Xiao face to face.
Wang Xiang just came to Chen Xiao's office, and Qu Ping also ran over excitedly, "Mr. Chen, new achievements!"
Chen Xiao asked Qu Ping to wait first.
Because Chen Xiao has probably guessed what the latest achievement in Qu Ping's mouth is?
Chen Xiao asked Wang Xiang to report the work first.
At this time, Wang Xiang took out the detailed list and put it in front of Chen Xiao.
Wang Xiang said: "This is the current situation we have, including a total of 7 technicians in the chip department from Xue Xiaofeng, and 13 technicians from the Plasma Semiconductor Company, respectively, through different methods and the top international headhunting company hunters. to meet."
"At the moment we don't know what they were chatting about, and it's not clear whether the meeting with the headhunter was an active or passive act of the technicians."
"However, the behavior of these technicians has touched our cordon, so I feel compelled to report it to you."
Chen Xiao looked at the list in his hand and joked to Wang Xiang: "We Changtian Technology still have achievements, you see, these people were only undergraduate graduates, but after we worked in Changtian Technology, they were all shown by Intel. It shows that the work experience of our Changtian Technology is still very valuable."
Wang Xiang smiled helplessly, and said with some worry: "I am the chairman and CEO of Changtian Technology, and I directly manage the company's personnel. These people are all the elites of our group. There is an official system to take it away, how can this be done!"
Wang Xiang didn't know much about Changtian Technology's chip operation mode, so he was still worried after such a thing happened.
Wang Xiang said anxiously: "According to the information I have in hand, Intel should be the one who poached our talents this time, and the salary offered by them is not low, and the annual salary of key people in key positions can reach 5 million meters. A knife, equivalent to RMB, is about 35 million."
Where does Chen Xiao know, he said very generously: "It's nothing, talents themselves have to flow, if the employees of Changtian Technology, after experiencing the work of Changtian Technology, can be seen by the technology companies in the United States. We're also proud to receive a higher salary."
Wang Xiang weighed the report in his hand and said, "Then let's leave this matter alone?"
Chen Xiao said: "We have recruited some of our employees, especially the core talents, at a high cost, and we have reviewed their family background and ideological situation."
"We recruit these talents, of course, the original intention is to hope that they can grow together with Changtian Technology. Of course, neither you nor I are gods, and there is no way to get into the psychology of these employees to find out what they are thinking."
"If others leave their jobs according to normal procedures and join Western technology companies, we have no way to stop them."
Chen Xiao spread his hands and said, "Although... although we have signed a confidentiality agreement with these talents, we require that all personnel who leave the core department of Changtian Technology shall not work in the chip-related industry of Changtian Technology within 5 years. "
"But you and I both know that this agreement is useful in China. It is not necessarily useful to get foreign companies. They secretly serve other technology companies. Even if we have evidence, it is very appealing to the law."
Wang Xiang nodded, knowing that what Chen Xiao said made sense.
After all, Changtian Technology is currently in a competitive relationship with Western IC companies. Even a certain core technology staff of Changtian Technology has gone to the United States to join a certain technology company in the United States, and is engaged in work similar to that of Changtian Technology. , because the two sides have no extradition mechanism and no legal aid agreement, it is difficult to take legal action.
This is similar to the fact that major companies in Xiaguo are pirating Windows operating systems, and it is difficult for Microsoft to sue a company or individual for legal accountability.
"Changtian Technology also has a relatively complete confidentiality mechanism and risk control system. We should still have a little confidence in our technology."
Chen Xiao continued jokingly and said: "People go to high places, water flows to low places, and with the current economic status of Changtian Technology, it is absolutely impossible for us to offer core technicians an annual salary of more than 30 million yuan. I believe that even if Intel has opened this overweight, it will require these people to create profits far higher than 30 million RMB."
"Tech companies in the US are capitalists, not philanthropists."
"As I said before, money is definitely not enough in this world, and I always feel that excellent scientific researchers should have better ambitions besides money."
"This kind of ambition may be the kind of surprise of developing a new product, or it may be the sense of accomplishment that can bring consumers a more advanced technological experience. If it is only about money, it is really boring."
Chen Xiao said this for a reason, because all the staff of Changtian Technology have confidence in their work and confidence in Changtian Technology, even if the current salary in the hands of employees is better than that of the world's top technology companies. The gap, but the employee shares in the hands of employees, if they take 5 years and 10 years, that is a huge amount of wealth.
Chen Xiao has always believed that the staff of Changtian Technology, especially the technicians, will never be short of money. If a technician of Changtian Technology gave up this job because of money, and moved to some overseas technology The company, then it is good for the company to have such employees leave earlier.
After hearing Chen Xiao say this, Wang Xiang finally understood.
Compared with the newly established Changtian Technology, this time Changtian Technology has long been confident to deal with the loss of personnel.
Moreover, Changtian Technology has a series of policies to avoid this situation, taking Xue Xiaofeng as an example.
Xue Xiaofeng currently owns 100,000 shares of Yuedong Internet, a subsidiary of Changtian Technology. The current share price of Yuedong Internet is 65 yuan. Although the employee shareholding ban has not been lifted and cannot be traded in the market, the total value on the book is 6.5 million.
Many financial and stock experts believe that it is a high probability that Yuedong Internet's stock will exceed 200 yuan in the next three years, and 200 yuan for 100,000 shares is 20 million.
In addition, Yuedong Internet needs to increase capital and expand shares every year, so the number of shares in Xue Xiaofeng's hands will slowly increase.
But if Xue Xiaofeng did not retire from the company normally, but switched jobs, then all the stocks in his hands would be recovered by the company without any positions, and Xue Xiaofeng would not be able to get a dime.
Of course, judging from the current salary offered by Intel, the annual salary is more than 30 million, which is more than all Xue Xiaofeng's salary plus bonus and stock.
But Chen Xiao can be sure that some companies and some people will regret it when the timeline is extended.
After discussing with Chen Xiao, Wang Xiang and Chen Xiao felt that although Changtian Technology could not control this matter, it still had to sound the alarm.
After Wang Xiang got the effective order, he returned to Jiangzhou.
That night, "Crazy digging people, what is Intel's intentions?" This tens of thousands of words commentary was written by Changtian Technology's official writer.
However, this article has not been published yet, and Wang Xiang is still waiting for Chen Xiao's order.
After Wang Xiang left, Qu Ping hurried over to report the work.
It may be that there is too much content, and there is no way to describe it in words, so Qu Ping directly dragged Chen Xiao to the laboratory.
The various combined colonies in the laboratory are actually placed there according to the different populations and experimental stages.
Qu Ping took Chen Xiao directly to an experimental group numbered C1751, and some excitedly said to Chen Xiao, "We have repeatedly tested the combined energy bacteria, and we have obtained a stable strain."
"Among these strains, one strain is very special."
"look!"
Qu Ping asked the staff to take out the colony group from the petri dish and put it back in a small vessel.
Then Qu Ping asked people to take out the Abe watch.
Chen Xiao had already guessed what Qu Ping was going to do.
Sure enough, after a series of operations, the ammeter shows that there is current passing through.
Gulu
Qu Ping said: "This kind of special progress actually generates electric energy during this process, and this electric energy is not low. At present, we are measuring the energy conversion rate of the colony per unit volume?"
The energy conversion rate mentioned here refers to how much electricity can be converted into electricity by the colony after Qu Ping's team invests a substance with a certain energy value, and what is the conversion ratio?
In fact, Qu Ping's entire team is at a loss. They discovered such a colony by accident, but they insisted on researching it because they didn't know what kind of achievements they would achieve.
Qu Ping kept describing the whole experiment process and the magic of this colony to Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao actually knew about such research results in advance, because he launched the technology panel.
[Expand Medical Biology: Microorganisms (LV4)]
The microbe level has been raised to level 4.
Chen Xiao said to Qu Ping: "No matter how much energy and money you invest, you must continue to follow up and research."
Chen Xiao believes that the things that can appear on the technology panel are absolutely impossible to be boring junk technology, and will definitely be of great use in the future.
Chen Xiao asked Qu Ping and said, "By the way, after we sent the revised cooperation plan to Pfizer and the others, what was the reaction of the other party?"
Chen Xiao overturned all the cooperation plans and started over.
At present, the cooperation plan given by Chen Xiao is that Western medical companies can act as agents of Changtian Technology's combined army therapy and combined energy colony therapy.
In addition to paying a certain percentage of agency fees, all future treatment costs will be set by Changtian Technology. Each agent will be guided and managed by Changtian Technology. Changtian Technology will take half of all profits.
And these western pharmaceutical companies do not have any right to share the technology, they only have the right of agency.
Such conditions are very harsh for Western companies.
Because they have never accepted such conditions.
In the past, Western technology companies, especially pharmaceutical companies, also used this attitude to negotiate with Xia Guo's medicine.
Xia Guo's pharmaceutical companies only have agency rights but no technology sharing rights. Not only do they have to pay expensive agency fees and royalties every year, but they also share most of their profits with these Western pharmaceutical companies in proportion.
Chen Xiao did not invent this kind of cooperation, but copied and used it.
Qu Ping said, "They agree!"
"Agree?" This day surprised Chen Xiao.
Qu Ping nodded and said, "Yes, I agree."
In fact, companies such as Pfizer, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Johnson & Johnson have been very entangled during this period.
Because when they negotiated with Changtian Technology, they did not have any advantages and wanted to share technology, but Changtian Technology did not give them any chance at all.
But they all know that Changtian Technology's combined colony therapy is the only therapy in the world that can treat severe lung diseases.
The combined energy therapy of Changtian Technology is also the only therapy in the world that can completely cure diabetes.
The total value of the overseas market faced by these two therapies combined ranges from 10 million to 1 trillion meters.
In the West, especially the United States, because of the particularly good economic conditions, the prevalence of diabetes among the people is very high.
A figure last year put the diabetes prevalence in the United States at 40%.
That is to say, there are currently 300 million people in the United States, and at least 120 million people are diabetic.
Among the 120 million people, many are above the middle class, and they have the conditions to spend high prices on the treatment of this disease.
If nothing else, even if a person spends 10,000 meters to treat diabetes.
Then 120 million people are 1.2 trillion meters of knives.
This is definitely a very impressive market.
Any tech company in the West, including pharmaceutical companies, is for money.
Therefore, in order to seize this market as soon as possible, you don't care whether you can get the technology of Changtian Technology, or even your own face. You just hope to reach a cooperation with Disabled Persons Technology as soon as possible.
Chen Xiao laughed and said, "If they agree, then there is no problem on my side."
"But I only allow one company in the U.S. that can represent our Combined Colony and Combined Energy Army treatments."
Chen Xiao didn't care about the reactions and feelings of these western technology companies at all, and said, "Let someone on your side formulate relevant plans immediately."
"The requirements are as follows. Changtian Technology is ready to open the application of combined colony and combined energy colony therapy in the United States. We are seeking any pharmaceutical company in the world that can represent our technology. The requirements are as follows."
"The first is to bid for agency rights~www.mtlnovel.com~The second is to be able to handle the medical policy of the United States by yourself."
"The third is that the management must be assigned by Changtian Technology, and the cost is set by Changtian Technology."
"The fourth one depends on the situation. Changtian Technology wants to get all the profits, from the 4th to the 6th floor."
"The fifth..."
Chen Xiao immediately announced the conditions of Changtian Technology, and Qu Ping recorded it.
Qu Ping smiled helplessly and said, "I didn't expect that companies such as Bristol-Myers Squibb and Johnson & Johnson would work so hard to come here. Let's make a public bid and make them mad."
When Qu Ping said this, she was actually a little excited. Does this mean that Xia Guo's high-end medical care is going abroad for the first time?
Changtian Technology has monopoly technology in the treatment of serious lung diseases and diabetes!
This is also the first time in the history of global medical care.
