"You've been driving your car for a few years, so if you like something new, go get another one. Wei Xuejian knew that he had snubbed her recently, and it was necessary to give her some sweetness.

"Thank you, Mr. Wei. Wang Yan's eyes narrowed into a bend, and she kissed him quickly on the face, posing as a bird.

Looking at her docile appearance, Wei Xuejian secretly thought in his heart, such a woman is still suitable for him, smart, knows how to measure, knows how to advance and retreat, and will never touch his bottom line.

"Has the money remitted from the Middle East arrived?" Wei Xuejian turned to ask about business.

Wang Yan is Wei Xuejian's absolute confidant, who is not only responsible for secretly monitoring Ai Bingqing, but also responsible for taking care of the finances of the "Heng" plan.

"As soon as I arrived, I was about to tell you that Dr. Ai has been buying equipment and materials like crazy lately. What transilluminators, sequencers, DNA printers, DNA synthesizers, as soon as the new model came out, immediately let me place an order, the first two months let me buy chimpanzees, and also specified that I wanted old orangutans, and it took me a lot of effort to smuggle in. Wang Yan fell down the road one by one.

"How's the R&D going?" Wei Xuejian asked again.

"He encrypted all the CRISPR data, I couldn't see it, but I felt like it was going to work. As soon as he entered the laboratory, it was like being beaten with chicken blood. The air pressure inside was so low, and I had to wear airtight protective clothing, I couldn't breathe after two hours. He's in his fifties, and he's fine for ten hours straight, and I wonder if he's doping. Wang Yan said.

Wei Xuejian rolled his eyelids and thought for a moment, and explained: "Give him whatever he wants, money is not a problem, the most important thing is to buy time." ”

Wang Yan asked puzzledly: "The longer the research and development time drags on, the more beneficial it will be for us? After all, money comes in every year......

"Short-sighted!" Wei Xuejian interrupted her. As soon as he finished speaking, the cell phone on the table rang.

Wei Xuejian walked to the desk and picked up the phone, "Mr. Qin, I haven't seen ......you for a long time."

Wang Yan stood up with interest, bowed her head at him, and walked out the door.

Wei Xuejian made a meaningful look at her while talking on the phone, meaning: See you tonight.

Out of the president's office, Wang Yan pondered as she walked, what did Wei Xuejian mean when he said that he was "short-sighted"? He wouldn't want to break the agreement and sell the technology privately, right?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shiver. The back-up behind the "Heng" plan is an extremist religious organization in the Middle East, and these people cannot afford to offend.

At the beginning of its establishment, in order to earn the first pot of gold as soon as possible, Huamei Gene often contracted illegal genetic research projects of European and American companies through black market transactions.

Developed countries such as Europe and the United States have relatively complete legislation on gene technology. The development of science and technology is a double-edged sword, and many research projects are prohibited by law in foreign countries, considering the issues of ecological environment, resource protection and social ethics.

Living cloning, for example, has not found an ethical answer to it, and its wild growth must be controlled.

In the past few years, the legislation of gene science and technology has lagged behind in China, and the cost of research such as manpower and material resources is also low.

About five years ago, a middleman approached Wei Xuejian and said he wanted to introduce him to a big business. The client is from the Middle East and is willing to provide hundreds of millions of dollars in support of research into genetic drugs that make people immortal.

The project code name "Heng" sounds like a fantasy, but regardless of the success of the research and development, Wei Xuejian can receive 20% of the research funding as remuneration every year. If the project is successful, the client will pay an additional $300 million as compensation.

In Wei Xuejian's opinion, this is a pie-in-the-sky good thing, and a fool will refuse. But he is just a businessman, and to put it bluntly, he doesn't know anything about science, so he naturally can't see through the hidden crisis.

It was through the "Heng" plan that Wei Xuejian got acquainted with Ai Bingqing. Wei Xuejian didn't care much about the things in the laboratory, except for the control of funds, the research and development work was fully entrusted to Ai Bingqing.

Ai Bingqing was born in a family of traditional Chinese medicine, and his father was a well-known traditional Chinese medicine doctor in his hometown of Shuangqing County. In the mid-80s, Ai Bingqing graduated from medical school and was assigned to work in the laboratory department of Zhuao's People's Hospital.

At that time, it was the upsurge of reform and opening up, and after working for two years, he was selected by the province to be sent to the United States for public study as an outstanding talent in the field of public health.

After returning to China, Ai Bingqing entered the Institute of Genomics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, engaged in research on human genome and genetic diseases. At that time, he was one of the few returnees in China, and he wanted to achieve something.

However, due to various reasons, no breakthrough results have been achieved in the past few years. He was reluctant and blamed the medical school system for the reason, believing that the rules and regulations of the unit had constrained him.
