"What the hell is going on! I asked you to tell them the news after Novartis signed the contract with the University of Chicago Biolab! Why would they know ahead of time! Don't tell me they're following Chinese journals! Bryce doesn't even know Asia. Come over here!" David went back to the office and got angry.
Li Zheng is indeed on the focus list of every pharmaceutical company now, but as the company grows, the complexity of the organization will naturally lead to inefficiency. Even Roche, if it is not for David alone to give an order to keep an eye on the project of the ninth laboratory, he It's impossible to get the news so soon.
Look at Pfizer's Anthony, if that kid knew, he would be so peaceful now! Therefore, there is only one possibility, the Roche people have leaked!
"If you let me know what that bastard said, I'll have to pull his tongue." David said through gritted teeth.
His eyes flashed, Anthony... David's eyes flashed a hint of cunning, it seemed that he hadn't contacted this old rival for a long time.
"Oh, Anthony, my friend, how can you say that we didn't have a great time working together on Dunodin? Yes, yes, I admit I just wanted to block Bryce, but this is part of the future of medical care. Tickets, Pfizer doesn't want to try it? My friend, trust me, you'll thank me."
Hanging up the phone, David sat on the office chair and turned around to celebrate his happiness. Even though he knew that the chances of Pfizer being able to intercept Novartis were slim, he was still happy to help Bryce.
No matter how unwilling David is to make small moves, a week later, Huaqing University's Ninth Biological Research Laboratory finally reached an agreement with Novartis and announced that the contract would be signed on the first day of July.
Because of Anthony's spoiler, Novartis agreed to add an international most advanced experimental computer in addition to buying out Jin Wan for 30 million patents. This was specially requested by Li Zheng to prepare for the next stage of the experiment.
Because Novartis left on the spot when the contract was signed, it was so shocking that the incident was wildly reported by the American media. Oni publicly accused Novartis of not having the spirit of the contract in public, and once again emphasized that his technology was in reducing the side effects of UW solution. The huge role of the American Organ Transplant Association made Novartis very dissatisfied.
To the surprise of Americans, Novartis, which has always cherished feathers, did not speak out on this matter, until a family member of an American patient publicly accused the side effect of the UW solution produced by Novartis that caused her husband's organ transplantation to fail and cause him to die.
Public opinion is such a ridiculous thing sometimes. What seems unreasonable on weekdays has a huge public opinion effect under the common hatred of the masses.
At this moment, Novartis held a press conference.
"First of all, on behalf of Novartis, I would like to express my deepest condolences and regrets for Mr. Pidelet's death. But I must make it clear that Novartis is a pharmaceutical company that has always been at the forefront of the fight against disease. Novartis has always understood and valued itself. social responsibility!"
"UW solution is currently the best organ storage solution, no one. I know that many people in the public hope that Novartis will apply the technology to reduce side effects to UW solution as soon as possible, but I make an assumption that even if Novartis immediately After signing a contract with the University of Chicago Biological Laboratory, it will take a year to realize the real technical application and mass production of new products. The death of Mr. Pidelet is a sad song that science and technology cannot keep up with the medical needs of the times. We Novartis Responsibility, all scientific researchers, all pharmaceutical companies, all fighters who are committed to fighting the disease have a responsibility!"
"The road to fighting disease is full of hardships and twists and turns. But here, I announce good news to everyone. Just a week ago, a brand new organ storage solution was launched, which not only has slightly better storage performance than UW solution, but also There is no side effect, and it even has nutritional functions for human cells. Novartis believes that its introduction will change the current organ storage market, and the UW solution may be retired, which is the gospel of science and the gospel of many patients!"
Novartis's public relations draft was full of emotion. It first denied the rationality of Mr. Pidelet's family's accusation of Novartis, then pulled all scientific researchers into the water, and finally announced the birth of a new storage solution.
Xu Shi was disgusted by Oni's methods, and Novartis did not give him any face at all. At the end of this PR draft, it is almost clear that the era of UW solution is over, and your technology to reduce the side effects of UW solution has become a waste. Paper.
After the press conference, the American media rushed forward.
"Is it because of the new storage solution that Novartis left at the contract table?"
"Yes, just as Mr. Bryce was about to sign, we got the news that the new solution was available. Because of the urgency of the matter, Mr. Bryce wanted to contact him as soon as possible, so it was too late to explain to Professor O'Neill. We are very sorry for the unpleasantness caused to Professor O'Neill."
Even if Novartis's apology is really insincere, O'Neill can't care about it now. The hard-earned project results have become a piece of waste paper, which is unacceptable to this self-esteem young professor.
"It's impossible! It's absolutely impossible! What kind of new solution, how could it be so coincidental, just as I was about to sign the contract, he got the news of the new solution coming out!"
Oni's lounge was a mess. Since Novartis left the contract table, Oni locked himself in the lounge. The floor of the lounge was covered with glass scum, and papers were scattered everywhere, even the ground where people stepped on. nothing.
When Professor Kimmen came in, what he saw when the professor came in was just such a scene.
"Okay! What is it that you look like you are not a ghost or a ghost, things have already happened, what you have to do now is not to complain about God here, but to make amends!" Professor Jimen is no one else, and it was at the banquet that day The old professor who rebuked Oni in the hall was also Oni's teacher.
"Remedy? How to fix it, I'm a complete joke now. How loud I said in the media at the time, how humiliated I am now."
Professor Kimmen was silent for a while, "How long can the laboratory's cash flow last?" The initial investment of this project was made by the Oni Laboratory itself, which is why he cooperated with other schools, because it The cash flow is not sufficient to complete the project independently.
Oni sneered, "Probably enough to pay the researchers this month's salary."
"Two days later, follow me to meet the people from Pfizer. Although this project has no market value, it at least shows your research ability." Professor Kimmen said.
Oni's eyes turned red all of a sudden, he raised his head suddenly, and said loudly: "I will never accept the alms of these capitalists!"
The atmosphere between the teacher and the student suddenly became tense again.
At this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door of Oni's lounge. A researcher in the biological laboratory walked in with a report. He carefully avoided the glass scum and waste paper on the ground and walked to Oni's side.
"Professor Oni, the laboratory that developed the application of CH5 solution in organ storage is the laboratory of Huaqing University."
"Huaqing University?" Professor Jimen and Professor Oni said at the same time.
"Huaqing who signed a project cooperation agreement with us?"
"The Huaqing University that protested because of the author's ranking?"
The two spoke out at the same time again, but obviously their focus was completely different.
Oni stood up and grabbed the newspaper in the researcher's hand suddenly, frowning more and more as he looked at it, and there was a hint of hideous color on his face.
"The Ninth Biological Research Laboratory of Huaqing University? Never heard of it before!" He suddenly thought of something, "Documents! Get me a copy of the documents we provided to Huaqing University at that time!"
Jimen frowned, "Oni, the application of CH5 solution and the direction of reducing the side effects of UW solution are completely different. Huaqing's project results should have little to do with your information. And I also heard about Huaqing. This is something you did inappropriately, and the person in charge of his laboratory died of a heart attack because of it, and he was also an old professor with high morals."
"It doesn't matter? Teacher, I have been working on this project for a whole year. If Huaqing and I signed a project cooperation agreement with Huaqing, Huaqing also had a project related to organ storage solutions, they would not agree to cooperate. What does this mean? This shows that the project started after the contract was signed! But such a result in just a few months? Do you think it is possible? They must have found something from my data! It must be!"
"Let all the people in the laboratory come back to work overtime and compare the process and results of Huaqing and our project. At the same time, I file a lawsuit in the Chicago court, even if it has nothing to do with my data, during the project cooperation, it is also a breach of contract to conduct independent research on the same project. !" Oni clasped the report tightly in both hands, and the blue veins on the back of his hands were clearly visible.
Li Zheng didn't know that the University of Chicago Biological Laboratory had filed a lawsuit against Meng Lao's laboratory and the Ninth Laboratory. He is now facing another headache, how to allocate the 30 million patent buyout fee.
Before joining Huaqing, Li Zheng and Huaqing had an agreement. Due to the lack of domestic patent law, all the patents involved in the project will be listed under the name of Heung Kong Li Zheng Laboratory to ensure the international rights and interests of scientific research projects.
The Huaqing side agreed and signed it. At the same time, because of the donation issue at that time, several important leaders were brought up. The contract signed by Huaqing and Li Zheng was also reported in front of several leaders.
But when the contract was signed, no one thought that a laboratory could create such a high value, so much foreign exchange, a full 30 million US dollars in foreign exchange, foreign exchange!
For China, which lacked foreign exchange in the 1980s, it was like a huge pie falling from the sky.
Many people in Huajing couldn't help but start to move.
