"I'm afraid not, but the substance I want to extract is a drug catalyst. I have reached a preliminary cooperation intention with the drug company, so the ingredients and production steps must be kept secret." Li Zheng said helplessly.
Xu Mingsheng was stunned when he heard the words, drug catalyst? drug company? Did he understand what he meant
He took a deep look at the young man in front of him, "Okay, then I'll wait at the door of the laboratory."
Li Zheng nodded to Xu Mingsheng, then turned around and entered the laboratory.
"Dean, really don't go in and watch? Even if the professors are doing experiments, they won't hide it from others. Is there anything strange?" Zhang Kuan couldn't help but said.
Xu Mingsheng looked at Li Zheng's tall and straight back and didn't speak for a long time. It was such an incredible thing, but for some reason, the moment he saw this young man, he believed it. In this young man who called himself "Li Zheng", he felt the same self-confidence and superiority as Rosen Kamodo, the Nobel Prize nominee for medicine who visited Hong Kong University not long ago.
"Didn't he say it? The ingredients and steps are to be kept secret, so let's just wait." Xu Mingsheng gathered up his collar and walked into the room beside him.
Xu Mingsheng's heart was far less calm than he appeared on the surface. As a first-line doctor, he naturally knows the role these pharmaceutical companies play in the global pharmaceutical industry. Every drug in circulation today, especially conventional and unconventional drugs that are urgently needed for acute, serious, and chronic diseases, cost more than half of the price tag. It is the patent money to be handed over to the pharmaceutical company.
They are like gold-eating giants, constantly extracting money from the country and the people. But can you blame them? cannot. Because they invest huge amounts of money in new drug research every year, and it is the continuous emergence of these new drugs that enables human beings to go further and further in the fight against diseases.
There are not many people in Hong Kong University who can publish papers in journals such as "Microbiology", but most of them are in the theoretical discussion stage, which can really be transformed into productivity and are favored by pharmaceutical companies. Xu Mingsheng thought back carefully. The last time a pharmaceutical company expressed concern and invested money was a "digestive enzyme" extracted by Professor Zhang Qu's laboratory, which was five years ago.
If this young man really didn't lie, Xu Mingsheng took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement, then they, Hong Kong University, no, it should be said that a golden phoenix will fly out of the Hong Kong University School of Medicine!
The papers published in "Microbiology" were still related to drug catalysts. They must be students of their medical school. Xu Mingsheng never thought about the possibility that Li Zheng was not a student of Heung Kong University. Because Xiangjiang can publish SCI papers, either with its own laboratory or with an affiliated laboratory, how can it go to a public laboratory to do experiments. Only students who have not yet stepped into society and have no social resources will come here.
The Faculty of Medicine of Hong Kong University is indeed a holy place for medical research comparable to the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Tokyo. Even if it is a public laboratory, there should be no shortage of it. The centrifuge is imported from Germany, and there are glass tubes of reagents with English words on them. The plastic seal, Li Zheng shook it, the quality is very high.
But Notting Catalytic Enzyme is the simplest and easiest to synthesize catalyst he has found from countless catalysts, and it can be made with the most basic reagents. Li Zheng picked out a few tubes of the required reagents from the freezer, looked at the boxy upper floor of the freezer with only a few tubes of reagents missing, he frowned, and then he reached out and moved out all the reagents in the freezer .
The heart of guarding against others is indispensable, and he is still careful.
After deoxidizing several tubes of reagents, put them into glassware according to a certain proportion, heat at high temperature, atomize and crystallize. Seeing the familiar light blue crystals appear in the glass test tube, a smile appeared on Li Zheng's face. He looked at the time. After an hour and fifteen minutes, the smile on his face subsided a bit, but he was still born. If it was my former self, it should be done in forty-five minutes.
Li Zheng looked around, but did not see the brown glass bottle that was shielded from light. He didn't care either, he took a clean transparent glass bottle from the table, wrapped the bottle with black tape, and then carefully clamped the blue crystal into the glass bottle with tweezers.
Putting the glass bottle in his arms, Li Zheng brought alcohol and carefully wiped all the utensils and tables he had used, making sure that no trace of the experiment was left. Immediately, he poured all the unused reagents from the freezer into the sink and rinsed them clean.
After doing all this, he came out of the laboratory Shi Shiran. At this time, the lunch break was coming to an end.
The moment the laboratory door opened, Xu Mingsheng and Zhang Kuan quickly got up and waited at the laboratory door.
"Mr. Xu, have you been waiting?" Li Zheng looked very surprised.
Xu Mingsheng was startled, because Li Zheng called him, he thought Li Zheng should call him Professor Xu or Dean Xu.
"Although I'm old, I'm still curious. I want to see the technology that can take money from foreigners."
Li Zheng laughed, but there is nothing to hide, "Danodin's catalytic enzyme can increase the yield of Dannotin crystals."
Xu Mingsheng gasped, he naturally knew the status of Dan Nuoting in the pharmaceutical industry, and the young man in front of him really surprised him again and again.
"Has the contract been signed? What price? Which company did it sign with?" Xu Mingsheng realized that he seemed to be asking too many questions, and many of them had involved personal privacy.
Li Zheng doesn't care, he has always been very patient with seniors.
"It has not been signed yet. Both Roche and Pfizer have submitted contracts in good faith, but the final price will not be determined until the actual test on the production line."
After answering this question, Xu Mingsheng had already believed Li Zheng's words by nine points. If he hadn't experienced it personally, how could he, a fledgling student, explain the routines of those pharmaceutical companies so clearly.
Good faith contracts, dubbed "send money contracts," are unique to the pharmaceutical industry. The pharmaceutical industry is a special industry. Compared with cheap and high-quality products, it is their way to win. But how can those big cows standing at the top of the biology world bend down to work in laboratories under the name of pharmaceutical companies, so in order to have a good relationship with these big cows, these pharmaceutical companies are also heartbroken.
Large sums of money are sent out without money, not to mention Cold Spring Harbor, even the productive university medical laboratories such as Stanford, Columbia, and Tokyo University. Every year, pharmaceutical companies line up to send money.
Therefore, as long as they evaluate scholars and laboratories that are considered valuable, these pharmaceutical companies will never begrudge dollars, in order to establish a good relationship before these calves grow up and facilitate future cooperation.
Li Zheng, a name that has never appeared in biological circles, will naturally attract the attention of these pharmaceutical companies. Compared with those who have already made a name for themselves, this kind of talented young calf is the favorite of pharmaceutical companies. They can pay the least price to tie these rising stars to their chariots.
On that day, Daniel brought three sincere contracts, and the one that was placed in front of Li Zheng's table was the most generous one. If the catalytic enzyme test is successful and the expected effect is achieved, Pfizer will pay a one-time payment of 20 million US dollars to purchase the catalytic enzyme production method. If the catalytic enzyme test fails to achieve the expected effect, the price will be reduced as appropriate. Regardless of whether the cooperation is reached or not, Pfizer will spend US$500,000 as a research sponsorship fee for Li Zheng's personal research, without any additional conditions.
The good faith contract given by David is also similar.
That is to say, even if Li Zheng failed to successfully extract the catalytic enzyme, one million dollars would still lie quietly in Li Zheng's account. This is the beauty of knowledge.
"I'm very proud that our college can produce such talents as you. It's not easy to deal with foreign capital. Do you want the school to come forward to check on you?" Xu Mingsheng said with a smile.
Next Monday will be the school's monthly meeting. Xu Mingsheng is the boss, such an excellent student! He can already imagine the envy and jealous faces of other colleges after hearing the news, and he is happy just thinking about it.
Li Zheng blinked his eyes, looked at Xu Mingsheng who looked at him kindly, and finally realized what the senior had misunderstood. He scratched his head, "I'm very grateful, but Mr. Xu, I'm not a student of Hong Kong University."
"Touch!" The glass on the table was knocked to the ground, and Zhang Kuan looked at Dean Xu, whose face was flushed and panting, really worried that the old man would faint from being overstimulated.
Not a student of Hong Kong University! Not a student of Heung Kong Medical College! ! Xu Mingsheng's head was buzzing, and the envious and jealous eyes of those old friends just imagined in his mind instantly turned into mockery and sympathy.
Ouch, his old heart!
"Which school are you from?" Is there a better school in Xiangjiang than Xiangjiang University? Gone! Xu Mingsheng even thought to himself that if there were schools behind Heung Kong University, he would snatch this student over even if he tried his best not to!
Li Zheng looked at Xu Mingsheng's excited appearance, and his mind moved. Although there is a reply letter, his identity will be settled sooner or later, but if Xu Mingsheng, a highly respected senior, comes forward, I am afraid it will save a lot of trouble.
And when his laboratory is built, there will be more and more scientific research results that can be produced. It is impossible not to be jealous. Whether it is Roche or Pfizer, after all, it is only a relationship of interests. He needs a party to bless him, and Hong Kong University is almost the best choice.
"Mr. Xu, to tell you the truth, I came to Xiangjiang with my family, but something bad happened in the middle. Now I don't even have a legal identity, let alone a university. Xiangjiang University, it's me. The university of your dreams!"
