Sunday morning, nearly eleven o'clock.

Outside the operating room, Lin Jie saw Elena hurrying from Binhai International Airport, Elena's father, Werner, chairman of Morris Industries Group. Morris led a dozen people.

Werner held Elena's hand tightly on the gurney and asked with concern, "Dr. Lin, my daughter's surgery this time?"

"It's just a minor operation, it won't take more than an hour and a half, and the possibility of an accident is very small!"

Lin Jie then briefly described the operation process, and then pointed to Ouyang Zhizhen beside him, and introduced: "Mr. Werner, this is Ouyang Zhizhen, the person in charge of the intelligent medical research and development project here. ”

"In this time of patient waiting, you can get acquainted and familiarize yourself with each other. ”

After introducing the two parties, Lin Jie and Elena entered the operating room together.

Elena lay on the operating table, looked at Lin Jie who was preparing on the side, and said, "Dr. Lin, I am also very much looking forward to this cooperation between the two families, and I hope that the cooperation can be smooth and successful." ”

Lin Jie smiled and replied softly, "I also have great hopes. ”

Elena hesitated slightly, and then said, "I know, Dr. Lin, you have put a lot of effort into converting data in different formats into 3D laser projection application analysis software, and you have high hopes. ”

However, through talking with my father and several key leaders of the company, I found that they were a little unimpressed with this application analysis software. ”

In other words, this application analysis software can be said to have played a very small role in Morris Industries. ”

This news surprised Lin Jie quite a bit.

He originally planned to use this application to prove his team's technical prowess and as a stepping stone to impress Morris Industries.

Unexpectedly, Elena gave a slap as soon as she came up,

That's tens of millions of dollars.

Lin Jie asked with concern: "Elena, you mean, your Morris Industries has developed a similar application software?"

"Nope!"

Elena sighed lightly and said, "Doctor Lin, you can see that this application software has a wide range of application prospects, how can we not see that we have such technical research and development personnel?"

"The reason why I don't invest much in the research and development of software and don't pay much attention to it, my father told me, is mainly because of the pressure from the same industry and industry monopolies!"

"The pressure of peers and monopolies?" Lin Jie was a little strange.

Elena hummed and explained: "Ultrasonic instrument developers, X-ray instrument developers, CT instrument developers, etc., the instruments they produce have been used in hospitals all over the world, and they still occupy an absolute dominant position. ”

"They can upgrade their own equipment, so that the hospital can buy better and more advanced ultrasound equipment, X-ray equipment, and CT equipment to replace the old equipment. ”

"But ......"

Elena said in a deep tone, "They will definitely not allow new instruments to appear that can replace these devices." ”

"Once such R&D equipment appears, it will definitely be suppressed and stifled by such manufacturers. ”

Lin Jie was a little stunned and asked, "They are so domineering that they don't allow new inventions to come out?"

Elena nodded and said, "Speaking of which, it's still a matter of interest." ”

"It's just that the old products are upgraded, the original production lines and equipment can be reused, and the hospital can eliminate the old model of the instrument, these manufacturers are naturally happy. ”

"But the cost of producing a completely new alternative is undoubtedly huge and risky. ”

"Manufacturers in a monopoly and dominant position will not take the initiative to replace old products with new products unless absolutely necessary. ”

Elena also revealed: "Dr. Lin, you may not know, in fact, every company that is in a monopoly and dominant position has a special technical department. ”

"The responsibility of this technical department is mainly to collect R&D information and patents related to its own products around the world. ”

"When they find out that the R&D has potential damage or fierce competition for the company's products, they either pay to buy the R&D results and put them on the shelf, or they sabotage them, so that the R&D test cannot be carried out. ”

Elena paused and said, "Dr. Lin, I'll give you an extreme example. ”

"Suppose you invent a cure for AIDS, do you say, are the pharmaceutical companies happy or unhappy?"

Lin Jie was stunned, and according to Elena's train of thought, he said, "I shouldn't be happy." ”

"A patient who needs to take various drugs for a long time to control AIDS will definitely create more profits for pharmaceutical companies than the profits from selling curative drugs. ”

Elena chuckled, "So, there's a conspiracy theory on the Internet. ”

"It is said that some intractable diseases such as AIDS and diabetes are actually owned by several pharmaceutical giants that have cured them or specific drugs. ”

"However, for the sake of their continued huge profits, this treatment or special medicine has been sealed. ”

Lin Jie couldn't help but laugh and said, "According to your guess, shouldn't I be cautious when I go out in the future?"

"My trial therapy may have a significant impact on the interests of one or several pharmaceutical giants. ”

"They're probably going to do a humane destruction on me. ”

Elena also laughed and said, "Doctor Lin, you really need to pay attention. ”

"If your R&D results cost a pharmaceutical giant hundreds of millions, or even billions of euros or dollars, a year, they may take extreme measures. ”

"Not to mention billions of benefits, even tens of millions, can make some people crazy. ”

Lin Jie said disapprehantly: "I'll be careful." I'll tell you the truth, I've had bodyguards by my side for a long time!"

"Okay, we're going to start the surgery, do you choose general anesthesia or local anesthesia......"

At 11:16 a.m., the operation officially began.

Elena chose local anesthesia, lying on her side on the operating table, and she could chat with Lin Jie with a clear mind......

At half past twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the operation ended.

After leaving the operating room, Lin Jie told Ouyang Zhizhen the information he got from Elena.

However, all the negotiations are in place, and now they can only proceed in a step-by-step manner.

After lunch, Lin Jie received a call from Skyler, who was far away in England.

"Dr. Lin, the operation is over, right?

Lin Jie chuckled, "Dr. Skyler, you're more anxious than I am. ”

"Shortly after the surgery, the paper was almost finished. ”

"When I sort out today's surgery data and postoperative examination data, and supplement them, it's okay. ”

"I'll probably send it to you tonight. ”

Skyler's voice jumped over the phone, "That's great. ”

"In this issue of The Lancet, I have set aside a page. Today, I will be waiting for your paper. ”

"Dr. Lin, I heard that the development of Mr. Felix's head tumor is also very much in line with your expectations?"

Lin Jie explained: "It's okay. ”

"A traction device has been implanted on Felix's tumor, and the rest is just to wait......"

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Jie gave Elena a very detailed postoperative examination.

Werner, who learned that his daughter's condition was fine after surgery and that he would be able to return to China in a few days after recovery, was very happy to tell Lin Jie that this time Morris Industries came with sincerity, and the cooperation negotiations would officially start at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.

At nearly half past eleven in the evening, Lin Jie once again reviewed the written paper, and after finding no problems, he gently pressed the enter key.

Looking at the prompt words "sent successfully" displayed on the computer screen, Lin Jie felt relieved.

He closed the computer, stood up, yawned heavily, and was about to go back to the bedroom to rest, when Shen Lanruo's deep voice suddenly sounded in his head, "Applejack, you'd better pay attention to what Elena said to you during the operation." ”

Lin Jie asked confirmatively, "Sister Lan Ruo, what do you mean by her?"

Shen Lanruo admonished in a heavy tone: "If you damage the huge interests of the pharmaceutical giants, they are really likely to take extreme measures. ”

"This ...... Unlikely, right?" Lin Jie still didn't want to believe it.

Shen Lanruo snorted coldly and said, "I had the same naïve thoughts as you before. But listening to Elena today, I think about what happened to my colleagues and myself......"

"Applejack, I'm very skeptical ...... right now"

"The accident that happened to me really may not be an accident......
