Chapter 147:

"You ask what this is for, but I do have news about this matter. Novartis and the University of Chicago Biolabs are deadlocked. The patent for UW solution has not expired. Apart from Novartis, there is no other buyer for this project. It stands to reason, Novartis has the advantage in this transaction. However, the Organ Transplant Association and non-governmental organizations continue to put pressure on Novartis to apply the Chicago laboratory's technology to the UW solution as soon as possible. So now both sides are confident and are in a stalemate."
"But I guess, it won't last long. As long as the Chicago laboratory doesn't speak loudly, Novartis will eventually agree." David on the phone seemed helpless, "The hegemony of knowledge..." He exclaimed.
Li Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and a smile flashed in his eyes, "David, don't say everything too absolute. There are many changes in the world."
Three days later, Novartis announced that it would sign a contract with the University of Chicago Biological Laboratory.
Ballroom, Hilton Hotel Chicago, USA
The attendants in the venue were busy, and there were already many people on the scene, including Novartis staff, staff from the University of Chicago Biological Laboratory, as well as representatives of the American Society of Organ Transplantation, International Organ Transplantation Association, civil society representatives, and Chicago government representatives. and many more.
The contract signing ceremony will take place on time at nine o'clock in the morning.
"Congratulations, Professor O'Neill, this will be an extremely wonderful stroke in your resume." The organ transplantation association congratulated a man in his early thirties.
The man was tall and burly, with brown curly hair, black eyes, profound features, and a handsome appearance. He was the head of this experimental project in the University of Chicago Biology Laboratory, Professor O'Neill.
"This is the success of everyone's joint efforts." The triumph on O'Neill's face flashed past, but he said extremely humble words.
Due to external pressure, Novartis's price is not low this time, which is a great success for a biologist in his early thirties.
"It's fine if you know it." An abrupt voice sounded, and a gray-haired old professor walked from outside the venue surrounded by a few people. His expression was serious, and his facial furrows became more obvious because of his expression.
Oni's expression became a little stiff, he stood up and called out, "Teacher."
The old professor did not pay attention to him, but walked straight to the guest seat.
Oni’s complexion was green, white and green. After all, he was still a little less young. He couldn’t help but said,
Teacher, doing scientific research is working for human progress. If this requires others to sponsor scientific research funds, then It's so sad."
The old professor's footsteps paused, he turned his head, his eyes swept across Oni like a sharp sword, "You know what I'm talking about." After speaking, regardless of Oni's reaction, he continued to move forward.
Oni's good mood all morning disappeared. He took a deep breath, adjusted his expression, and then turned his head to continue talking to the person next to him.
The banquet hall gradually filled with the hour hand and slowly approached the 9 position.
Novartis's people entered the game in the last five minutes, with smirks on the faces of the leaders, and they weren't pretty.
Also, in their opinion, O'Neill's diet is too ugly. First, he published papers in international journals in the first phase of the project, and then frequently accepted media interviews to publicize the powerful role of his laboratory technology in reducing the side effects of UW solution.
This is not to say that the UW solution they produce has huge side effects.
It was because of the patents that they had to pinch their noses to discuss business with him, and the people at Novartis could hold their breath.
The "dangdang" little bronze bell was struck a few times, and the noise in the venue gradually decreased.
The contract signing ceremony began.
The waiters took a piece of red cloth and spread it on the long table in the center of the venue.
Representatives of O'Neill and Novartis stood up and walked towards the middle of the table under everyone's attention. Novartis Legal will hand over the two contracts to Oni and the person in charge.
Onili signed the contract, and the two parties exchanged the contract.
At this moment, a young man with a Novartis work permit trot in from outside the banquet hall, ran to the Novartis staff area, and whispered something to the middle-aged man sitting in the first position.
The middle-aged man's complexion changed drastically, regardless of other people's reactions, he quickly walked to the long table and held down the person in charge who was about to write.
He whispered a few words in the ear of the person in charge.
The person in charge of Novartis was surprised at first, and then he put down the pen in his hand, even with a deep fear.
Turning his head, he looked at O'Neill with a faint smile, "Sorry, Professor, I don't think we can sign our contract today."
Oni’s contract hand froze in place. He frowned and said:
Mr. Bryce, I know that our negotiations are not so pleasant for you, but I want to be the person in charge of Novartis. There are a lot of such things. Now, when the contract is signed, there are many people sitting below."
He used the contract to point to the representatives of the association sitting in the first row and the media workers next to them.
Bryce shrugged and stood up straight, "I think they will understand my actions soon."
"George, book the nearest flight, I want to go to Huajing in China right away!" Bryce ordered loudly, without any concealment.
Huajing’s project is different from the technology developed by Oni’s UW solution to reduce side effects. CH5 solution is a new organ storage solution, and the patent for CH5 solution as a blood growth solution has expired. In other words, in the CH5 organ storage solution, all pharmaceutical companies are on the same starting line.
As long as the Huajing project is signed, the market for organ storage fluids can be monopolized, just like Novartis today.
Bryce's heart couldn't help mentioning that although for Novartis, the profit of organ storage fluid is almost negligible, but the organ storage fluid is a big cake in the linkage market.
The continuous development of artificial organs and long-term storage technology of organs, the continuous improvement of medical technology, and the use of organ replacement and transplantation to extend life is definitely a trend. If pharmaceutical companies seize the opportunity before this wave, they will surely win The benefits are endless.
"Novartis must not lose its advantage in this battle!" Bryce decided to himself in his heart.
David was much earlier than Bryce.
David and Li Zheng have been together for so long. Naturally, he knew that Li Zheng was not a gossip. After receiving a call two days ago, he took heart and asked the people below to pay close attention to the human organ storage project. Half an hour before Novartis signed the contract with the University of Chicago Biolab, he got a very interesting news.
The Ninth Biological Research Laboratory of Huaqing University published a paper on the new application of CH5 solution in their national journal.
After the special treatment of their laboratory, CH5 solution will become a better organ storage solution than UW solution without any side effects!
The news made David stand up suddenly.
"Li is worthy of Li, oh, I haven't seen him for a long time, I have to find him. By the way, this project was developed in our donated laboratory, I remember we have the priority to cooperate. Notify the legal affairs Ministry, draft the contract and follow the best terms." David smiled and showed sixteen teeth.
He touched his chin, turned his head and said to the person next to him: "Find someone and tell him the good news after Bryce signs the contract."
"Okay, Mr. Andorio."
Here both David and Bryce got on the plane to Huajing.
And Li Zheng, who just caused all these earthquakes, stretched lazily.
"I can leave work early today, well, I'll invite you to dinner. For so many days, I have worked hard for you."
Sun Bin and Lu Xuexue looked at each other, that's it? A paper in a regular journal?
One day ago, under their own witness, the use of CH5 solution as an organ storage solution was discovered. The performance of CH5 solution after adjusting the formula was much better than that of UW solution, which made everyone in the laboratory excited.
But they all thought it was accidental. After all, science has progressed through inadvertent discoveries. Only Liu Sizhao, who knew the inside story, looked at Li Zheng with his modest eyes.
Looking at his gaze, he seemed to want to cut Li Zheng's brain open to see if it looked different from ordinary people.
Why is his luck so good? Whatever he thinks.
"Tsk tusk tusk" It's a pity, it's a pity that such a good brain and luck are not used for scientific research competitions, Liu Sichao couldn't help but shook his head secretly.
Li Zheng looked at the experimental data with a gentle smile on his face. He glanced across the laboratory table and picked up the top journal.
"What is this?" Li Zheng doesn't know much about domestic journals. When he was the director of the National Academy of Medicine, he started to run a journal.
Keke, to be precise, someone else borrowed his name to run a journal, and I heard that the response was pretty good.
Sun Bin glanced at the journal in Li Zheng's hand, and said with a smile: "Professor, this is a journal co-organized by Yan University and our Department of Biology. It is considered authoritative in the domestic biology circle." There is another sentence. He didn't say that the excellent graduate papers from the two schools will also be published in this journal and spread across the country.
This is what many biology students are diligently seeking, such as him.
"Oh~" Li Zheng raised his eyebrows, "then him."
"Zheng Guangye, please contact the person in charge of the journal. I hope to see our papers published in the journal before nine o'clock tomorrow morning." Li Zheng now speaks with such confidence.
Zheng Guangye looked at Liu Sichao.
Liu Sichao couldn't help it a long time ago, "Hey, Li Zheng, big boss, are you kidding me, Taurus project! Taurus project! You put it in two journals run by schools??
Before Li Zheng could answer, Sun Bin couldn't help but speak: "Researcher Liu,'Exploratory Biology' is also one of the best in domestic biology journals!"
Liu Sichao turned his head abruptly and shouted: "Shut up!"
