The transaction with the special department was successfully concluded, and within the following week, all the companies under Xia Xu's command ushered in a round of major changes.
Naturally, the first thing that happened was that the three major companies formally formed the Xinghai Group, and all the qualifications in military industry and other aspects were issued. Xinyuan Building was also taken over by Xinghai Biology, and all the personnel and equipment were moved there one after another during this period.
The layout of the building has not changed much. The lower floor is used as a reception office, while the upper floors are used as medical laboratories and equipment rooms. The original top-level biological laboratory in the basement was naturally assigned to Gu Haiming for biological research.
In addition, thanks to the medical negotiations a few days ago, Xinghai Bio obtained an initial order of 200 million yuan directly from the Medical Insurance Bureau, and according to the conditions proposed by Xia Xu, the advance payment has been received.
With this abundant capital inflow, Xinghai Biological naturally expanded non-stop, acquiring factories on a large scale, converting funds into productivity, and the productivity continued to meet order demand, and everything began a virtuous cycle.
However, the two hundred million yuan of funds is actually just a small part of the money. The real big part is still on the wolf tribe's enhanced serum.
The special department was wealthy and powerful, and acted as if they didn't care about money at all. They directly placed an order for a hundred wolf enhancement serums.
Because there is no stable channel to obtain K protein, Xinghai Bio has no way to fully accept this order.
In the end, they adopted a cooperative approach, with the government collecting and providing K protein itself, but the result was that the price was drastically cut in half.
Even so, this order still brought Xia Xu a full 1 billion yuan in funds, and it was also a direct prepaid cash flow.
Since the entire group is solely owned by Xia Xu, it is very easy to withdraw funds. Therefore, Xinghai Venture Capital and Xinghai Industry also obtained sufficient funds and their development speed soared.
There are quite a few listed companies with a market value of over 1 billion, but a 1 billion group that is not listed and even has all the shares held by one person is something that any company CEO would be jealous of.
You have to know that the shares of the chairmen or even the founders of those large group companies are usually only 10 to 20 percent at most.
After a company goes public, its market value will expand dramatically as capital flows in, but its shares will inevitably be diluted. It is not uncommon for founders to be kicked out or for the entire company to change its name.
However, Xia Xu's Xinghai Group has real asset value and even pure cash flow. If he is willing to issue a public offering at this time, it would be easy to increase the market value tenfold.
Of course, his purpose from the beginning to the end has been to use the company as a support for attracting talents and climbing the technological tree. His fundamental goal is not to make money, so he naturally would not do such a thing that puts the cart before the horse.
“It’s all here.”
Only a week later, Liu Quande, under the escort of Luo Hongyun and the special operations team, came to Xinyuan Building and placed a silver-white pure metal suitcase in front of Xia Xu.
"You guys are really efficient. Are there many people with this K protein carrier physique?"
As Xia Xu spoke, he opened the metal suitcase, which was filled with bottles of cryogenically stored K protein.
"It would be nice if there were a lot of them. The rarity of this thing is even more exaggerated than you said. It's considered extremely lucky to find one in a million."
Liu Quande's face darkened: "In order to reach the number you mentioned, we have spent more than 1 billion in manpower and material resources."
K protein is not that easy to get. After all, only a very small number of people can synthesize it in their bodies, and the content is very low, making it difficult to extract.
If there is no technology like the second heart that can be extracted at any time, the collector must stay in a fixed place such as a laboratory around the clock, and the specific collection process is extremely complicated.
Of course, the most fundamental reason is that people with this kind of physique are so rare that it is difficult to identify them.
Previously, the authorities had no relevant information about K protein, so it was naturally impossible to test carriers. If they wanted to screen for it, they had to start from scratch.
Don't even think about a national census or testing. It's easy to say, but the manpower and material resources consumed will be an astronomical figure that is difficult for the country to accept, and all kinds of difficulties and obstacles will be countless.
Let’s not talk about the distant past, just take blood donation as an example. The slogan has been shouted for many years, but how many people will actually take the initiative to donate blood
Only a very small number of people will go, and most of these very few are forced to go because of some public welfare activities or collective activities. Among a thousand people, there may not be even one who will go there privately.
This is the case for projects that are more public welfare-oriented, such as blood donation, not to mention projects like K protein that seem to be less public welfare-oriented and may have unknown risks.
It can be said that unless the authorities are really determined to carry out semi-forced sampling or create a sufficiently positive and broad public opinion orientation, it is basically impossible to donate on a large scale or even just cooperate with sampling.
Now the special department was able to gather 100 doses of K protein needed for the wolf clan strengthening serum so quickly, which was completely forced together from various military units.
But we can't do this kind of thing too often. After all, they are not a department, and detection and extraction are very difficult and troublesome because they need to be filtered from the blood, which has a certain impact on the body. In addition, sampling requires 24-hour stays. If the military really has to keep doing this, then they will have nothing to do.
This time it was a special matter, because there was indeed a severe shortage of extraordinary combat power, so we obtained the full support of the entire official department and put a batch of enhanced dogs into service first.
"In the next phase, we will add K protein sampling and testing to the physical examinations for junior and senior high schools, but it is just a test. Under normal circumstances, parents of students may not agree to such collection."
Under Xia Xu's indirect questioning, Liu Quande also revealed a little bit of information.
"Since free shopping doesn't work, then I'll just spend money. So, I plan to cooperate with some hospitals to set up a number of testing sites. Everyone can get tested for free, and after the test results are obtained, they can choose to sell..."
Xia Xu suggested.
Liu Quande said expressionlessly: "It is illegal to sell one's own tissues and organs."
"Can't you open a convenient door?"
Xia Xu had heard of this.
"Although special departments have some privileges, they are not so powerful that they can change the law at will, and such fundamental principles must not be changed."
Liu Quande shook his head, and his attitude was surprisingly serious and resolute: "If people can sell their own tissues and organs on their own, do you think they will really do it voluntarily, or will it be more likely to be voluntary due to various factors?"
"I understand."
Xia Xu nodded slightly and said no more.
Some idealistic things are good, but when they are actually implemented, the first thing we have to face is often capital and human nature.
Just like some people call for the legalization of the "entertainment" industry, is legalization really good for those practitioners
If such things can be done legally as long as it is voluntary, then in the hands of capital and human nature, they have ten thousand ways to make people 'voluntarily'.
The same is true for tissues and organs, including blood and K protein. Once a hole is opened, the consequences will only be worse, and by then it will probably be more than just voluntary.
"You'd better strengthen your security recently. After all, there are always two bad birds in a big forest. It's impossible to completely block this matter. There should be a lot of eyes on you now."
Liu Quande no longer had the interest to stay, so he just gave a reminder and said, "If you need it, our special department can provide a group of logistics personnel."
"No need. I have already hired two strong helpers for emergency use. They are more than enough to deal with some scoundrels. But they may have to be sent to your side by then, so you will be busy."
Xia Xu didn't care and waved his hand with a smile.
Liu Quande's reminder can only be regarded as hindsight. These days, many people have visited his Xinyuan Building and even the old Tonghe Pharmaceutical Research Institute.
Putting aside the possibility of leaks involving a large number of official personnel, first of all, the fact that Xinghai Group obtained military qualifications and a large amount of funds could not be concealed, and the financial transactions with special departments could not be concealed from the truly powerful senior officials.
In addition, Atuo had also been exposed due to a series of operations by the special department. Even if the public opinion has cooled down and most people only regard it as a strange story, it is enough to give people a glimpse of the whole story in the eyes of those who are interested.
It can be said that anyone who is a little smart can link the recent changes in Xinghai Group with the video of him fighting werewolves a while ago, and then guess that it is black technology such as enhanced dogs and human enhancement technology.
The various peeping and temptations that have arisen as a result of this have been endless in the past few days, and there are simply too many of them.
