"Mr. Williams, the problem now is mainly in the DNA analysis reports we send to users that are diagnostic, which leads to the suicide of some people with poor psychological tolerance. So, if we remove this part, the U.S. government should be able to lift the ban! Of course, if we do, the DNA analysis report will be less attractive, so we need to add something interesting to the DNA analysis report. ”

The speaker was a woman, blonde and blue-eyed, tall, named Julie Ricardo, about 35 years old, Ph.D. from Cambridge University, female director of the life science and technology department of Gene Umbrella, mainly responsible for the research and development of chip gene sequencer.

"Julie is right, the disease diagnostic report can be deleted," Henry nodded, and then said with a smile, "If the user really wants to know, then you can only go to the local hospital to apply, after the application is approved, we will send the disease diagnostic report to the hospital, and then the doctor will guide the user to carry out scientific and reasonable treatment!"

After Henry finished speaking, everyone nodded. First, it can bring profits to the hospital, and the hospital will definitely be willing to cooperate, which is a win-win situation, and it can also be used to promote the drugs of the gene umbrella; second, with the guidance of doctors, it can avoid the occurrence of tragedy due to excessive psychological pressure after the user sees the diagnosis report.

"Of course, we have to add new features to attract users," Henry said with a smile as he looked at Julie Ricardo, "Julie, did you have something in mind?"

Julie Ricardo stroked her gold-rimmed glasses and nodded, "At present, there are two main parts in the DNA analysis report, one is the diagnostic risk assessment of the disease, and the other is the search for relatives based on genetic similarity. I think these two points alone are too simple. We can add more content to the mix, which in turn will increase the appeal of our gene sequencing services!"

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Julie Ricardo organized her language and said: "For example, to carry out genetic testing services, and limit their content, relatively speaking, it should be a genetic disease with a clear causal relationship, mainly referring to non-medical characteristics, such as freckles, curly hair, lactose intolerance, etc., if there is a risk of genetic diseases, we will delete it, so as not to increase the psychological pressure of users." In addition, it can also provide ancestor analysis service, guess where the user's ancestral ingredients come from, and the user is of mixed blood from several countries, and give the results in the form of percentages!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but start thinking, is the idea of "ancestor analysis" good, but how should it be realized?

The conference room fell silent.

Julie Ricardo then said: "The 'progenitor analysis' function is indeed difficult, but it is not impossible to implement. First of all, we need to establish a reference data set, invite users to fill in ancestral information, including their own birthplace, parents' place of birth, grandparents' place of birth, etc., and then through statistical methods, combined with the user's genetic sample, to establish a more accurate reference data set. ”

Julie Ricardo laughs, "The more people you have, the more accurate the reference data set becomes." Subsequently, the SNP loci comparison of genes can be used to infer where the user's lineage comes from! We all know that SNP represents a variation in a single base, and there is an SNP for every 1000 bases, and the probability of SNP mutation in the same position is very high in humans with the same ancestry. Assuming that a pure Chinese mutates at the a1, b3, and c5 positions, then as long as the user's SNP locus is also detected at a1, b3, c5, it is certain that he is a pure Chinese. ”

Bang Bang Bang!

When Julie Ricardo finished speaking, Henry applauded first, followed by the rest of the group.

"Yes, very good!" said Henry.

"Thank you, Mr. Williams. It's just a bit of a problem, in order for the gene umbrella to launch these features, it needs to accumulate users and build a reference data set, so it will have to wait a while!" said Julie Ricardo.

"It will take some time to resolve the ban, and it is during this time that users are invited to fill in the ancestral information!" Henry said loudly, "Julie Ricardo, this matter will be done for you!"

"Yes, Mr. Williams!"

"Well, that's all. On the government's side, I will send someone to communicate, and everyone will dismiss!"

"Yes!"

……

There is only one case of suicide due to DNA analysis reports, but there are many people who are overtreated due to psychological stress. Media reporters are really idle eggs, and they specialize in tracking and reporting to create panic. The gene umbrella company is on the cusp at the moment, and at this time, it is almost impossible for Henry to lobby the US government to lift the ban.

The president of the United States vaguely told Henry that the US government would not consider lifting the ban until the rumors passed.

Okay, then we'll talk about it later.

Henry put down the phone, picked up the cat poop coffee on the table, and drank it down.

……

On October 1, Nicholas International E-commerce began to hold the "10.1" Global Shopping Carnival. Just like the first edition, Nicholas International E-Commerce was a huge success, with sales exceeding $25 billion, which was a big surprise!

The media called Nicholas International E-commerce as a company, but it redefined a festival that has never been seen since the founding of the United States!

October 1 also marks the first anniversary of Henry's wedding. So, Henry took Karina, Helen and Princess Ulysses to Las Vegas.

Las Vegas is currently the first of the world's four major gambling cities, is a world-renowned resort city centered on the gambling industry for tourism, shopping and vacation, and has the reputation of "the world's entertainment capital" and "marriage capital", and is the honeymoon destination chosen by the world's most newlyweds.

Henry and others chose to stay at the MGM Grand Las Vegas, which is located in MGM Plaza, the largest casino in Las Vegas. There is every entertainment and leisure facility imaginable!

Other than that, Henry picked this hotel, and of course there was something else.

The reason why MGM Plaza and MGM Hotel are both called MGM is obviously related to the famous MGM Pictures in Hollywood.

In 1969, millionaire Kerionian bought MGM. After he took over the company, MGM began to decline. Because Kercorian had no intention of running MGM Films, he began to sell all kinds of family property, armed props, sound stages, etc., and invested in the real estate business of Las Vegas.

In 1986, Corkrian sold MGM to Ted Turner for $1.45 billion, and Ted Turner was the American media mogul who sold to Henry Turner Broadcasting. Within three months, however, Ted Turner sold most of his shares back to Corkrian. Corklian didn't want MGM movies at all, and then he was ready to sell the company to someone else. However, due to the fact that the other party was accused of fraud, it was not sold. Now, MGM Pictures still holds 80 percent of the shares.

MGM Pictures has reached a low point, and it is sad that it was once extremely glorious, Hollywood's No. 1 film company, and now it has to rent a studio from another company to make a movie.

One of Henry's reasons for coming here was to buy MGM Pictures. As the saying goes, an emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. MGM Pictures still has three major assets left, first, it has the world's largest film database, holding more than 4,000 film rights, including many famous films, such as "007 series", "Gone with the Wind" and so on; second, it has distribution rights in all countries of the world; third, more than 100 Academy Awards, which is the largest in the world.

By the time Henry's private jet arrived at the Las Vegas airport, Corkerian had already sent more than a dozen hotel luxury cars to greet him.

"Mr. and Mrs. Williams, welcome to Las Vegas!!"
