Huang Jindi's condition is still stable, but this also means that his hope of getting better is getting slimmer. Huang Xuan actively sponsored several medical institutions, but he could do nothing before getting a response.
QIAGEN is the reagent company Dutoit selected for him. It is a well-known company in Germany. It has a number of patented technologies in the nucleic acid separation and purification series. It has become world-renowned in the field of biotechnology for its high purity and high yield. brand. Huang Xuan didn't care much about his products, but the $10 million sponsorship came to nothing and he could only wait quietly.
Citi’s recommendation is the California Institute for Quantitative Biomedicine, known in the industry as QB. This is one of the most prestigious research institutions in the world, consisting of 140 top researchers from the University of California, San Francisco, Berkeley, and Santa Cruz. The laboratory is composed of a group of Nobel Prize winners and academicians of the National Academy of Sciences. But this institute is more cautious in accepting sponsorships. Naturally, there is also no news.
Huang Jindi's condition has begun to worsen. He is only awake for a short period of time at noon or afternoon every day. When Huang Xuan went to see him again, Huang Jindi touched him unconsciously, and his lips seemed unable to open and close. Saying "Be brave."
Huang Xuan thought he was brave, but when he saw the appearance of his once all-powerful grandfather, he felt sad unexpectedly.
Huang Qunsheng stayed in the hospital, while Zhang Xinyi rushed to various conference venues and negotiation tables every day. Huang Xuan walked out of the hospital, bit his lip with his teeth and said, "Brother Qing, call Aubrey for me."
"Okay." Li Qing also followed Huang Qunsheng back to the country. Because Huang Xuan had capable people around him, Zhang Xinyi simply asked him to follow her son, so as not to have a driver.
After answering the phone, Aubrey said in broken Chinese: "Boss, good afternoon!"
"Good afternoon." Huang Xuan wanted to smile, but then he thought of his grandfather, and his face suddenly darkened again. He sat in the car and said, "Mr. White, has QB responded?" Although the California Institute of Quantitative Biomedicine also It is very troublesome, but the German QIAGEN company has too many problems that need time to solve, such as visas. On the other hand, Huang Xuan still hopes to verify whether there is anything wrong with the formula handed over by Mr. Guy. In this regard, A prestigious QB is more reassuring than a profit-seeking business company.
Aubrey had expected that Huang Xuan would ask him, but he snorted for a while and said, "Sorry, you know the politicians in Washington..."
"Mr. White!" Huang Xuan said immediately: "I thought Citibank could help me become familiar with the American market and American ways, so I have a lot of tolerance for Citibank's inefficiency. However, Mr. Walter, if Citibank The bank is inefficient and unable to help with my plans, so it’s time for me to say sorry.”
Aubrey immediately became anxious. Not mentioning Huang Xuan's $100 million deposit in Citigroup, the business of Cabres and Xihuang Industrial was enough to make people jealous. He said hurriedly: "Mr. Huang, give me more Within a week, I will definitely..."
"NO, Mr. Walter." Huang Xuan said word by word: "I don't have a week to wait. Please listen now."
"Yes."
"I can still spend some money, as long as it is spent appropriately and effectively. Do you understand?"
"Yes."
"I know that there are countless registered lobbyists, political lobbyists, top-notch lawyers, former senior government officials, public relations experts, and political consultants in Washington; you also know countless senators, House of Representatives, and even the President and the former President. I am now I just want one result, you know what it is, right?”
"Yes." Aubrey swallowed. Huang Xuan's tone reminded him of those difficult guys on the board of directors.
Huang Xuan slowed down his tone and said, "I will wait for one more day, ONLY, just one day, do you understand?"
Aubrey waited for a moment, then said in a long voice: "YES!"
Huang Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief and just leaned on the seat. This Bentley was his mother's second car. Feeling his son's future, he specially gave it to Huang Xuan after returning to China. It was regarded as a birthday gift and a relief. , since I just bought it less than a year ago, the car is in good running-in condition, and Li Qing’s skills are good, so it is very comfortable to sit in the car.
There were only Coke, juice and tea drinks in the car refrigerator. The red wine and whiskey were taken back home. Huang Xuan simply made KopiLuak coffee for himself. It is said that this kind of coffee beans are returned from the belly of civet cats, although it sounds a bit unsavory. , but the taste is indeed very good. The thick and multiple aroma has a taste of life. This is what Zhang Xinyi told Huang Xuan. In the past, he did not like this kind of coffee with caramel flavor, but after experiencing some things, he tasted it again. , but fell in love with this kind of mellowness.
On the way home, Huang Xuan thought of Aubrey again. If an agreement could not be reached in the end, the worst possible thing would be to sneak into the laboratory. Lorraine had stored 50 million kilowatt-hours of electricity for this, enough to invade half of the country. City, but thinking about the consequences of doing so, Huang Xuan felt a little timid. The consequences may take several years to eliminate.
The most important thing is that Huang Xuan is not sure whether Lorraine, or himself, can synthesize the desired drug in a short enough time, and the toxicological and pharmacological properties of this drug also require Clinically verified. …
Early the next morning, when Huang Xuan saw Aubrey, the financial expert's eyes were already red from sleep.
Although Citi is a huge conglomerate, it can still be challenging for middle managers to have a connection to Washington.
In fact, Huang Xuan's request was originally easy to achieve, but for Aubrey, it was a bit difficult to complete the matter independently. He was originally only planning to manage assets of 1 million US dollars, but he did not expect stuff to fall from the sky. The rapid appreciation of Huang Xuan's assets far exceeded his capabilities. Compared to Dutoit, his situation was much more embarrassing.
Therefore, it was not until Huang Xuan's ultimatum that he had to ask for help from Shangfeng, but one day was too short, and in the end he was unable to shake the solid QB.
When entering Huang's house, Aubrey was a little nervous. He felt as if he had just graduated for an interview. After shaking hands with Huang Xuan with slightly sweaty hands, he said: "Mr. Huang, we have already made arrangements for your request." There are some results, but there are still some problems.”
Although Huang Xuan has not continued to learn the language through the base recently, he has laid a solid foundation for him in just one month. In addition, his mother, Aubrey and others have helped him become proficient in conversation. Now he can talk smoothly without an interpreter. He said in a slightly altered Eastern accent: "What's the problem."
"Because of time reasons, QB needs to meet to discuss your requirements. What I mean is that even if we give them sponsorship, they will not provide you with laboratories and personnel specifically." Huang Xuan gave Aubrey and others In his explanation, they always thought that Huang Xuan wanted to trial-produce mysterious oriental medicine. Of course, in fact, the difference was not very big.
"In other words, you failed?"
"No, no." Aubrey licked her lips, like a black friend who was born in Brooks, and said: "In fact, we helped you contact a major customer, Pfizer Group, the largest company in the world's pharmaceutical industry. One of the top 500."
Huang Xuan knew nothing about the pharmaceutical industry and continued to ask: "Where are their laboratories? Where are their R&D and verification capabilities?"
"Definitely no worse than QB."
"That doesn't sound like bad news, what is the problem?"
Aubrey took two breaths and said, "Actually, Pfizer CEO Mr. Steele believes that the value of their laboratory may be higher than 10 million US dollars."
"15 million?" This is not a problem for Huang Xuan. Of course, it does not mean that he can be blackmailed.
Aubrey felt a little embarrassed to say it, but the time was indeed too tight. He patted his forehead and cursed the company's executive director in his mind, saying: "Mr. Huang, Mr. Steele thinks that letting you use the manpower of Pfizer's laboratory will It will have a certain impact on their research and development progress, so... "
"How much?" Huang said with a long pronunciation of HOW.
Aubrey unconsciously wiped his sweat and said, "They hope you can buy a batch of Pfizer's financing bonds, worth 100 million US dollars." It seemed a bit difficult to read this number, and he immediately added: "Non-transferable. The term is years, every year. The interest rate is 6.7%.”
As for the bond itself, the interest rate is not low. After all, Pfizer is a world-class company with stable profitability. However, 100 million is a bit too much.
Huang Xuan tapped the phone case gently with his fingers. If he could save his grandfather, he could spend any amount of money, but US$100 million has exceeded his ability to pay, and at this critical moment, no one can borrow it. Give him so much money. Even the Sifang Group cannot have so much cash.
"As long as I buy the bond, he will let me use the laboratory?" Huang Xuan asked with a stern face.
"Of course." Aubrey knew Huang Xuan's financial situation better than anyone else. The young man in front of him had less than 500 million U.S. dollars in assets. If he included the 100 million U.S. dollars he put in Huang's fund, he could only collect all of it. half of the amount. He said with some uneasiness: "Mr. Huang, these bonds are non-transferable and non-saleable." This was Steele's request. He did not want Huang Xuan to sell the bonds again. To a certain extent, This is just an additional financing bond he issued.
Huang Xuan nodded impatiently and said, "I understand, you go back and wait for the news."
After seeing Aubrey off, Huang Xuan crossed his hands, pinched the bones and said, "Lorraine, I think we should find some more money."
…
Lorraine naturally welcomes plane travel. He has his own sequence principles and they will not change because of Huang Xuan. As an independent guardian, the reason why he would obey Huang's declaration, to some extent, has a lot to do with the fact that there is only one person with authority (he himself is naturally not included).
As an advanced base, the first order criterion of P11's plane base is safety, while upgrading and protecting the plane are slightly behind this. So far, Huang Xuan is the only aborigine who can complete all the criteria—of course, this has nothing to do with Lorraine never gave anyone else a chance.
If the energy of the base was not too low, Huang Xuan might have suffered the same fate as many previous daredevils, losing his life or being thrown to an alien plane. It was only when the energy of the plane was not enough to change his position or protect himself that Zhang Xinyi's large-scale search was able to help Huang Xuan. Xuan saved a small life.
From the beginning, Lorraine has actively requested plane travel, which can not only bring recharging funds, but also replenish energy for the buffer zone. This is the basis for the existence of the plane and the purpose of official travelers.
Material preparation is still done by Brazil. The plane channel can only be opened under such circumstances - near the authority holder or near the base. This kind of protection measure can maintain the buffer zone of this plane to a certain extent, which is also the reason why Lorraine Shang Criteria that cannot be modified.
Since the goal of this trip was banknotes, Huang Xuan hoped to be as prepared as possible. In addition to using densely woven metal to protect himself and bringing a small pistol, he asked Hexin Industrial to purchase as much grain as possible and produce it on the vast farms in Brazil. The country has purchased food that far exceeds consumption capacity, and the worldwide food shortage has made its procurement common and chaotic.
However, because Huang Xuan's request was so large, it seemed that it had attracted the attention of the government. In addition to the Sao Paulo State Government's enthusiastic praise of Hexin Industrial's contribution to the region, Shengfeng also received the same praise - the sales of agricultural products in Brazil has always been a priority for the government, but if they knew that the focus of this export trade It's from an unknown plane, and I don't know what his expression is.
In view of the fact that wheat was more common in most areas in the past few times, Huang Xuan simply designated 80% of the supplies as wheat, totaling 15,000 tons, with an average price of US$19 per ton, totaling US$895,000, and the remainder was mainly spices. , if it were the 17th century, just cardamom, pepper, etc. would be enough to make money.
In fact, the real consideration of how much supplies to carry is the consumption power of the destination. If they unfortunately land on a small island in the Philippines, 15,000 tons of wheat will allow them to eat the American occupation, and how to sell it properly is the main problem. Staying in the alien plane for longer and longer, Huang Xuan also began to worry about his own safety. In fact, he was even more worried. After all, it takes a certain amount of preparation and preparation for a guy with evil intentions to do evil. Yes, maybe when he is ready, the plane transaction will be over. The little gangsters who are interested in making money don't need to think about it. Lorraine has ten thousand ways to abuse them. However, if you stay for too long, the probability of such a situation will greatly increase.
For this reason, Huang Xuan asked to bring densely woven metal and a small pistol, which would consume 10 times the energy value of food. Basically, the last oil futures was all spent.
Lorraine could only calmly condemn Huang Xuan's waste. In terms of energy distribution, Huang Xuan's opinions were more adopted. After all, most of the energy was replenished by him.
At midnight, at the time determined by Lorraine, Huang Xuan stepped into the small portal in the backyard pavilion. Lorraine said at this time: "Based on part of the key information, I can double the current transmission accuracy, but it is still possible overflow interval.”
"Twice?" Huang Xuan said with some surprise: "Then if you hadn't told me earlier, I would have made more targeted preparations. How about we change the time?"
"No need." Lorraine should be expressing his embarrassment with the slowness of his language. He extended each syllable and said: "You can now determine whether to enter the interval plane from T1600 to T1800, or enter the interval plane from T1800 to the current interval. According to According to the generalized uncertainty principle, the location remains uncertain.”
"Is this twice as much?" Huang Xuan was definitely more surprised than Shicai at this moment.
"Yes."
Huang Xuan spread his hands and puffed his mouth and said: "Let's go to the back section. At least the yellow skin is not so conspicuous."
"OK."
Entering the familiar but unfamiliar plane passage, Huang Xuan was still amused. It goes without saying that Lorraine's system is easy to use, but it does make people laugh when it is used to show off. It is true that the accuracy has been doubled, but this statement, But it makes people laugh a little bit.
"P101T108191W590 arrives." (To be continued)
