Liang Zhe was stagnant, unable to catch up.
Li Zheng looked at Liang Zhe's blushing face and tried his best to explain, "Puchi" and laughed.
"Okay, okay, they're all big men. I can't control you if you want to go to New York." Li Zheng said.
Liang Zhe was silent, I hope you can take care of me...
Seventeen hours later, the plane landed on time at the New York airport.
"Oh, Lee, you've grown taller again." The person who picked up the plane was Kent Blair, Merck's chief biotechnology consultant and a well-known figure in the American biological circle.
He and Li Zheng met because of carbapenem antibiotics. Kent admired Li Zheng as a person, and found that the young child had extraordinary creativity in biomedicine. The little boy will be enlightened when he discusses and discusses. So the two soon became friends.
"I'm very happy to hear such a greeting." Li Zheng said, hugging Kent.
Liang Zhe pursed his lips and glanced at Kent. He was not taller than him, not as handsome, not as young as him, and not as threatening.
"Liang Zhe, hasn't the person to pick you up yet?" After chatting with Kent, Li Zheng looked around and couldn't help but ask when he didn't find Liang Zhe's pick up person.
Liang Zhe lowered his eyelids slightly, then shook his head. He looked at Li Zheng cautiously, and there was a hint of pitiful emotion on his expressionless face.
Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak.
However, at this moment, a tall Asian man ran towards Liang Zhe excitedly while looking at the photo.
The Asian man tried to explain, but what he saw was Liang Zhe's increasingly dark face, and the expression on his face became obviously nervous and depressed.
Li Zheng touched his nose, he stepped forward and patted Liang Zhe's shoulder, "It seems that you are really here to work, I misunderstood you."
Liang Zhe…
Li Zheng and Kent left the airport together. Along the way, Kent told Li Zheng about the current situation of imipenem.
Imipenem has successfully passed the first round of drug clinical trials, and the FDA has approved Merck to prepare the drug for marketing.
If nothing else, this so-called revolutionary drug in the field of antibiotics will meet the world at the end of 1985.
"Imipenem is a very great drug. Li, you know, postoperative infection has always been a big problem in modern medicine. And the data shows that the existence of imipenem can make the death of postoperative infection. rate dropped by two percentage points.”
"Don't underestimate these two percentage points. There are tens of thousands of people in the world." Kent looked very proud.
"Mr. Kent is a very great person. He single-handedly promoted the listing of imipenem." The driver driving in front suddenly said.
On weekdays, he would definitely accept this compliment without any modesty, but today, sitting next to him is Li Zheng, a genius biologist who discovered carbapenem antibiotics by himself. The further improvement of imipenem is still proposed by others.
Kent showed a rare embarrassed look on his face, "Lee, don't be unhappy. Pete's girlfriend voluntarily joined the clinical trial of imipenem because of postoperative infection and other antibiotics were ineffective. God bless, this The strong girl finally overcame the disease. So he is very grateful to me."
"Pete, this is Mr. Li Zheng. The discoverer of carbapenems in Xiangjiang, he, like me, made great contributions to the introduction of imipenem." Kent said seriously.
Li Zheng smiled, "Imipenem is Merck's imipenem, this fact will never change."
The most influential biological person of this century, this award issued by the United Nations Health Organization, is like the gold and silver awards of those stars in the entertainment circle of later generations. There are many hidden factors behind their own strength. If you have strength but no power, I'm sorry, maybe the organizing committee will find out in conscience and give you an achievement award.
Li Zheng believes that he won this title. In addition to the "in vitro organ regeneration" technology that has recently attracted widespread attention at home and abroad, Merck, an American local snake, should have contributed a lot.
Kent heard this and laughed.
The living conditions of top foreign scholars are much better than those in China. For example, Kent, who holds the title of Merck's technical consultant, not only receives a large salary, but also various patent fees. So this Mr. Blair owns a single-family mansion not far from the center of New York City.
Even thirty years later, scholars in China have not received material rewards commensurate with their contributions. The salaries of the stars who sing and dance on the stage are often in the hundreds of millions, while the researchers are conscientious and conscientious, but they are only rich. These are still scholars who have made a breakthrough in scientific research. What about those who have not made it
Thirty years later, it is difficult to imagine the mentality of the Chinese scholars who chose to give up the favorable living environment abroad and resolutely return to the backward motherland.
Li Zheng had lunch at Kent's house, and then politely declined Kent's suggestion to stay at his house.
"Well, I'll pick you up tomorrow. Oh, yes. I may not have said that, I'm one of the ceremony witnesses tomorrow, and I'm very honored," Kent said.
Li Zheng returned to the Pearl Hotel, the hotel booked for him by the United Nations Health Organization.
When Li Zheng walked into the door of the hotel, a group of Asian people walked towards him, and at the forefront was a slightly thin young woman.
There was a rare look of astonishment on Li Zheng's face, he knew this woman.
In other words, anyone who pays a little attention to Asian current affairs news in future generations will not be unfamiliar with this woman.
The daughter of a certain general of the Yang Kingdom and the leader of the Yang Kingdom in later generations, this woman has a turbulent fate, but she is an extremely remarkable person.
Thinking of the theme of the general debate of the United Nations mentioned by Zheng Lingling, Li Zheng's eyes sank. Could it be that there will be people in Huaguo participating
He politely made way for the future leader of Yangguo, and Miao Aungdeng smiled and nodded to Li Zheng to express his gratitude.
In the Pearl Hotel, Li Zheng met Liang Zhe again.
Coincidentally, my name is 2104. "Speaking of this, Li Zheng's eyes narrowed, he looked at Liang Zhe suspiciously, is this really a coincidence
Li Zheng's room was reserved for him by the health organization. If he is careful, it is not difficult to find it.
Liang Zhe was silent for thirty seconds.
"In a foreign country, I think it's better for us to be together."
Li Zheng rubbed his chin, as if it made sense.
After a long-distance flight all day, Li Zheng was already very tired. After getting off the plane, he had to force himself to eat lunch at Kent's house. Therefore, the warm sun at noon shone, and the whole person was sleepy.
He yawned and patted Liang Zhe's arm, "I'll go to bed first. I need to call the inside line." He covered his mouth with his hands and walked to the hotel elevator.
He slept until four o'clock in the afternoon and woke up hungry. Li Zheng wanted to call room service, but remembered that Liang Zhe's room was next to him, so he got up and dragged his slippers to the next room.
It's just that as soon as he walked out the door, he collided with a young man of twenty-three or four years old.
Li Zheng was knocked back two steps, and there was still some faint pain in his shoulder. He rubbed his arm and looked up at the young man.
He had a flat head, black-rimmed glasses, and a decent suit, with an extremely nervous and flustered look on his face.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Oh, no, mine clearing, mine clearing." In a panic, the young man blurted out the Chinese, and immediately changed it to English with a less standard pronunciation.
Li Zheng really admired his good luck. He went abroad twice and met fellow villagers twice.
"Is something wrong?" Since it is a compatriot, it is natural to be able to help.
When the young man heard Li Zheng's standard Chinese, his eyes filled with excitement.
"You... you are Chinese. Do you have any medicines? Antipyretics! Our secretary has been burning all night, but we can't find antipyretics for a while." The young man asked nervously.
medicine? Li Zheng naturally has it. As a scholar in the biopharmaceutical industry, no, even ordinary people in later generations will have the habit of carrying commonly used medicines with them.
"Wait." Li Zheng said, turning around and walking into the room.
He extracted five or six white pills from the bottle and wrapped them in white paper.
"One tablet at a time, take it with warm water. Twice a day, after the fever subsides, take at most one more time to strengthen." Li Zheng said, handing over the paper package.
The young people exclaimed in excitement.
"You are from Huaguo, and you should know about Huaguo Railway. Our secretary is the secretary of Huaguo. If you go back to Huaguo, you can go to the Iron Building to find us if you have anything." Li Zheng's clothes, then scratched his head, "But I don't think you need any help from us."
After he thanked him again, he took the paper bag and trotted all the way to the other end of the corridor.
Huaguo Iron Industry? Li Zheng frowned slightly, he seemed to have heard this name somewhere, shook his head, he turned around and knocked on Liang Zhe's door without thinking much.
Liang Zhe opened the door very quickly, as if waiting behind the door, and opened the door in less than a second.
"are you hungry?"
"hungry."
"Then... let's go eat."
Pearl Hotel Cafeteria
Xu is because the general debate of the United Nations is held, and the cafeteria of the Pearl Hotel is full of people from different countries. Xu is because the theme of this general debate is mostly led by women.
The buffet at the Pearl Hotel is good, but it can't stand the crowd, and it takes a long time to wait for the same dish.
For a dinner, they ate a full two hours.
"It's an extravagant time cost." Li Zheng put down his knife and fork and sighed casually.
Liang Zhe moved for a while, looked up and said with a serious look: "Are you unhappy? Have dinner with me?"
Li Zheng was stunned, the eyes of the two met, and he only felt his heart beat violently.
"Of course not, I'm just..." Li Zheng tried to organize his words, "You know, I'm an experimenter, and for me, time is very important."
He didn't know why he explained it so seriously, it was obviously just a casual sigh, but before his mind could react, his mouth had already started to speak.
Li Zheng reluctantly rubbed his temples, maybe he took a nap too much? Confused
"It's you! Are you here to eat too?" Li Zheng reflected on his abnormality, when an excited voice interrupted his thoughts, and the young man walked towards Li Zheng and the two holding a white plate.
"Are we together? Our secretary is over there, and there is also the president of Huaguo Bank. She is very powerful." The young man was obviously a talkative person, and Barabala explained the purpose of Huaguo's visit clearly.
As Li Zheng guessed, these Huaguo people all came to participate in the general debate of the United Nations. The outstanding female representative of Huaguo is the president of Huaguo Bank.
Li Zheng knew this person, and later generations gave her mixed praise and criticism. She witnessed the era of the fastest economic development in China and made great contributions to the economic development of China, but at the same time, she officially promoted the madness of the real estate market in China. , making it difficult for many people at the bottom of the country to find a room.
In addition to her, Huaguo's group also includes leaders of China's iron industry, railway company, electric power and other important national industry enterprises.
Li Zheng looked in the direction pointed by the young man, and several middle-aged men sat in a circle with their backs to him.
An old man with gray hair suddenly turned his head, the eyes met, and Li Zheng nodded at him.
The old man seemed to see something inconceivable, and he was obviously taken aback for a moment, and then he was about to stand up, but was pulled by the companion next to him.
Li Zheng looked back, "No need, look at our table, we've already finished eating." He smiled and said to the young man.
A trace of obvious disappointment flashed on the young man's face. "The secretary also said that he wanted to thank you personally. He took the medicine and rested for a while, and he felt much better."
Li Zheng chuckled, "That's good. During these few hours, don't eat cold or too greasy food. After two hours, take your body temperature again."
"Hey, okay." The young man answered loudly.
Li Zheng and Liang Zhe had almost eaten, and after such a small episode, the two also got up and went back to the room.
Along the way, Li Zheng looked a little strange.
"What's wrong?" Liang Zhe asked worriedly.
Li Zheng shook his head, "That old man just now..." He paused, "It seems a little familiar."
Yes, that old man with gray hair must have seen him somewhere.
Li Zheng's memory is very good, which is not only reflected in the memory and recitation of academic materials, but also in life. What he only saw once, rarely forgets.
"Familiar?" Liang Zhe narrowed his eyes, "I'll ask someone to check." He said.
Li Zheng was dumbfounded, and the strange feeling in his heart because the old man was familiar with the eyes was swept away, "No need, maybe I read it wrong."
The author has something to say: Liang Zhe: I... I like you!
Li Zheng: Oh, I see.
Liang Zhe: Shouldn't you react a little bit? !
Li Zheng: Help me get the test tube on the table on the right.
Liang Zhe: Oh, good
