Chapter 628: Chapter 401 This is no longer talent_2

With your academic achievements, the doors of Alzheimer’s research institutes around the world would have opened for you.

I can assure you that the companies I recommend would offer ten to a hundred times better salary, research facilities, and scientific environments than your current small company!"

Zheng Dalu stopped his pen, which had been recording experimental data, and turned to look at the editor-in-chief next to him, who had a stubborn look on his face.

"Mr. Hoffman, I’ve told you many times that I am quite satisfied with my current research environment and have not considered changing jobs.

Moreover, the strength of Changqing Biological isn’t as weak as you think."

He hadn’t expected that the editor-in-chief of Willow Leaf Flying Blade, who had traveled all the way from Country Hua to the Northern Country, was actually here to poach him...

"Satisfied? Zheng! Even for a small technical validation, you have to travel thousands of miles to a laboratory in the Northern Country, and you call that a satisfactory research condition?

Believe me, compared to the big company I am recommending, this Changqing Biological can only be considered a small workshop at best!

Look at what they have done!

Your time and talent should be spent on tackling the global challenge of Alzheimer’s disease, not here mixing every day with a bunch of pigs!"

"Uh..."

Professor Zheng was speechless.

Seeing the frustrated expression on Editor-in-Chief Hoffman’s face, full of disappointment, it seemed he hadn’t realized that he had just insulted himself as well...

"But for me, treating these pigs is not less significant than treating humans.

Conquering Alzheimer’s disease might save many humans, but solving the African Z virus can also save many of the poor on the brink of starvation, can’t it?"

Hoffman snorted.

Of course, he knew that all research contributions were valuable, regardless of their status.

But the problem was that even if the African Z vaccine was developed, it wouldn’t be able to save the person in the world he cared about most...

He was human too and had his own biases.

Originally, Hoffman just wanted to meet this Country Hua scientist who had made significant contributions to Alzheimer’s research and ask about some technical details.

But after learning about the situation, he immediately felt that the scientist deserved better!

A pharmaceutical manufacturing company worth only a few billion RMB—how could they properly use such top talent?

The technical patents were entirely owned by the company, and the main scientific personnel didn’t even get a share of the technological dividends—utterly tyrannical terms!

Annual salary of a million? It’s a wonder they could offer that!

In Hoffman’s eyes, Changqing Biological appeared no better than opportunistic capitalists and vampires.

Although Zheng Dalu remained unmoved, Hoffman was still determined to try and save this lost lamb.

"Zheng, maybe you are right, but don’t you think that as a scientific researcher, only by persistently focusing on a particular research field can one more likely make breakthroughs?

Indecisiveness is a big taboo for scientific workers!

Since you have already made important breakthroughs in the field of Alzheimer’s disease, why not continue your research and achieve even greater success?"

"Uh... strictly speaking, genetics and heredity are actually my main fields of research.

Alzheimer’s was completely accidental..."

Hoffman: "..."

He couldn’t tell that Professor Zheng was speaking the absolute truth and felt extremely frustrated.

Out there, so many scientists had spent their lives researching without being able to find a way out of their maze of confusion.

And here you were, a scholar who considered it ’not his field,’ accidentally finding a new path.

Isn’t that a gift?!

"You are wasting your own talent!

Modern medicine is a technology-intensive product, and being technology-intensive means it requires a lot of capital!

Everyone is competing in terms of investment and funding. Do you really think that spending a few million here can solve the problem of the African Z virus?

With my decades of experience, I tell you... it’s impossible!"

"%￥￥&&#*##..."

Just then, Ivanov, with his big nose and full beard, suddenly burst into the office, and immediately his face turned red as he started jabbering away.

Hoffman, who didn’t understand Russian, could only look at the excited, trembling lips of the other and, puzzled, turned to Professor Zheng.

"Zheng, what is he saying?"

At this moment, Professor Zheng also seemed very shocked, his face expressing total astonishment.

It took a while before he managed to move his somewhat dry lips.

"He said... my experiment was a success..."

Hoffman: "..."

...

An hour later, the three of them arrived at the research base fully equipped...

"This batch of experimental pigs totaled 500, with three types of vaccines being tested for technological validation.

One week after injection, the antibody production rate for the pigs injected with vaccines 001 and 002 was below 20%, deemed as disqualified.

As for vaccine number 003, it was allotted 50 experimental pigs, with a noted injection dose of 2CC.

After testing, all 50 experimental pigs had produced antibodies, making the vaccine’s effectiveness rate 100%!"

"Hss~"

Even though the protective suit’s visor was not very transparent, one could still see the exaggeratedly distorted facial muscles of Hoffman from the outside...

"Fantastic!" Professor Zheng could hardly hide his excitement.

Successful again! I actually succeeded again!

The technology is real; both technologies given to me by Chairman Gao...are both real!

It’s unbelievable! What kind of organization could continuously produce such world-class, breakthrough technologies?

This is definitely not something an ordinary private company could achieve.

What Hoffman just said wasn’t wrong, modern medicine is a capital-intensive product; based on Changqing Biological’s scale, the probability of having continuous breakthroughs in two world-class medical challenges approximates zero.

So who exactly is this mysterious Chairman Gao?

Could he be an agent of an international medical giant?

But with such invaluable medical accolades, which medical giant would be willing to hand it over to a group of people from Country Hua?

Then the answer is quite obvious... A national team?

"A miracle! Simply a miracle!" Ivanov’s hands trembled with excitement as he held the experimental report.

Who would have thought that a regular "transnational research friendship" could bring such a huge surprise to the Victor Biotechnology Research Institute!

One should know that the Northern Country is currently deeply troubled by the African Z virus.

If the vaccine could be successfully developed, it would certainly attract high attention from the officials of the Northern Country!

Although the research personnel and outcomes do not belong to their institute, all the technology was fully developed within their premises.

When the time comes, calling it "joint development" would also be an honor!

The bureaucratic style of the Northern Country wasn’t much different from that of Country Hua...

"Zheng, does the vaccine meet the conditions for mass production? What is the estimated manufacturing cost?"

"It..."

In his excitement, Professor Zheng almost blurted out, but immediately caught himself, looking at Ivanov with a guarded expression.

"That’s commercial secrecy, how could you disclose it so casually."

Though it was someone else’s place for conducting research, Zheng Dalu always took extremely careful measures regarding technical secrecy.

All experimental processes and data were personally handled by him and kept strictly confidential.

"Uh... haha! Sorry, sorry!" Ivanov laughed awkwardly, somewhat embarrassed.

Professor Zheng gave him a look, "Just 50 experimental subjects, the data is still somewhat insufficient, we still need to conduct a second large-scale sample validation to truly verify the effectiveness of this vaccine."

It couldn’t be helped, on someone else’s turf, they took the lead in caring for their own experimental projects, which was understandable.

These 50 experimental pigs were bought by Changqing Biological at a steep price, using a "friendship price" of 2000 US Dollars each.

Ivanov immediately pledged, "Don’t worry, this time how much you need, just say it, 1000 heads enough? Or 3000 heads?"

Zheng Dalu: "..."

Hoffman watched the scene before him with a highly complex expression.

He had never imagined that in his lifetime, he would witness the same individual conquer two world challenges in a short period of time...

This was no longer a matter of talent; this was genius!
