After the first 60 years of rapid development of biopharmaceutical technology.

Today, in the 1990s, anyone who wants to develop a cure for a disease needs to follow a basic protocol:

With a good idea, you need a minimum of $20 million, and a high of even billions of dollars, and then a team of about 30 scientists or assistants will spend a year setting up the lab equipment and start testing your theory.

From that moment on, the boring work begins, where the researchers you pay well will drop some liquid into test tubes, put chemicals in machines, and analyze at least thousands of experiments to get the results. If you're lucky enough to find something useful, you'll have to pray to the gods to bless you for the results you want.

This is the research and development of biopharmaceuticals, and in addition to those basic sciences, the research and development of pharmaceutical companies can be said to be the world's largest investment, and it is also the slowest industrial type.

Of course.

The scientific research output of pharmaceutical companies is often staggering......

Otherwise, there would not be so many powerful pharmaceutical companies, and even in the United States, a special industrial chain has been formed, an industrial chain for clinical trial populations.

This group of people does not usually work much, and they mainly make money from clinical trials in the scientific research results of major pharmaceutical companies.

Because there are 4 steps in the FDA application that require clinical trials, and the number of people required ranges from dozens to thousands. What should we do in this clinical trial? Take medicine and use the new drug that has just been invented and has been successfully used in animals and on humans.

Sign the agreement and give money to test the drug.

If something goes wrong, ask for a blessing. No problem, then make money. This is what many American civilians, mainly blacks, love to do.

Make money with your own body.

For example, now Pfizer is holding a lot of small blue pills and hiring thousands of people to test the drug.

As long as there are no adverse reactions in the people who try the drug within a certain course of treatment, it will only take half a year at most to be marketed.

That's when it's time to really make money.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Abel now.

After deciding that he wanted to develop a new drug, he began to look for a laboratory.

The last time the little blue pill was rented, he rented a biology lab at the University of California, which was expensive and did not have an assistant, and it cost him 189,000 US dollars a month......

If you need an assistant in the school, not only the price is calculated, but after the successful birth of the drug, the new drug patent will also share a piece of the pie.

Abel had to do it alone.

Fortunately, the guy he was reborn was originally a doctoral student in MIT biomedicine, with a skilled laboratory dog life, and a person had a strategy to copy, and it took him more than a month to get it out without making a mistake.

This time, to develop a new drug, it is necessary to use a biopharmaceutical laboratory again. Originally, going to the University of California to continue living in the original laboratory should be the best choice.

But this time he wasn't going to do it alone, and of course he didn't want to start a biological lab so soon.

It's one thing to start a biopharmaceutical lab, but it will take at least a year to start from scratch. The amount of money spent, if everything is top-notch, is also in the order of billions.

The best thing to do is to buy those mature labs directly when you have money in the future.

But now, it has not reached such a necessary point.

This time Abel didn't want to do things alone, he needed an assistant. If you don't want to rent, there's only one way.

After deciding on it.

He looked at the time and saw that it was already March 23rd.

Well...... There is an appointment tonight.

He put down the company's business and made a phone call.

At this time, mobile phones were only 1G and fixed phones. Mobile phones are dumb and big, and although they are a little better than the previous big brothers, the most advanced and lightweight ones also weigh a pound.

Except for some people who have to talk at any time and have a certain financial ability, they will wear it. Very few people wear mobile phones nowadays because they don't have to. Unlike mobile phones a few decades later, everyone on the streets has one.

Abel certainly has the most advanced mobile phone of this era, but it is more of a brick big brother than a mobile phone.

He didn't like it, it was too big. It's usually Cameron Diaz or Andrés who use it when someone calls, or when he needs it.

"Hey, Julia, how's it going? You should be busy today, right? Your new movie is about to be released. ”

"Uh-huh! I'm very excited, I personally think this movie is very successful! I'm going to hold the premiere press conference in the evening, I'm so excited!"

"Aha! Congratulations. So ......"

"Wait a minute. Abel, are you free tonight?"

"Huh?"

"If you're okay at night, I hope you can do me a favor. ”

"Speak. ”

"The director originally arranged for me to appear with the male lead tonight, but I didn't like that guy. He was always annoying me, but I needed a male companion to attend the film launch with me. I hope this person can be you, you look like a person who often appears on TV, and is more celebrity than a Hollywood star. ”

"Will I be your male companion?"

"Yes. ”

"Hmmm......"

"If not, there's no way. I had to accept the crew's arrangement to walk the red carpet with the guy who disgusted me. ”

"Haha! How could I make you unhappy, I wanted to ask you out after your press conference in the evening, and go to the three cinemas I chartered to show your new movie. It's even more of a pleasure to be able to travel with you to the premiere now. ”

"Haha! Okay! After the press conference, I'll go with you! This is the first time that someone has chartered an entire movie theater as a celebration for me! You still chartered three rooms at a time!"

"By the way, do I need to wear anything as your male companion? a suit or a tuxedo? and a time and place?"

"Hmm...... I ......"

“……”

A few minutes later.

Abel hung up the phone with a smile, "Smack"

snapped his fingers in the air.

I've known Julia Roberts for almost half a month, and the two haven't been disconnected since Disney parted that day.

Every night, they would chat on the phone and make porridge on the phone, and occasionally when Julia Roberts didn't need to follow the crew to promote, the two also went out twice and had a good time in Los Angeles.

Fortunately, although Julia Roberts is already a well-known second-tier female star, she is not the first female actress in Hollywood in the future, and there are not so many puppies who follow her in candid photography.

Twice I went out to play, and nothing happened.

But Abel knew.

After the release of Pretty Beauty, the situation will be different.

But what does that matter?

After a few days, the relationship between the two progressed rapidly. After all, no matter how a goddess, no matter how reserved, no matter how arrogant a woman is.

If she pursues a man who is knowledgeable, even knows the brand of ice cream she likes, and has prepared it for her in advance when she wants to eat it, even if this guy is ugly, he will have a good impression of the man.

Now this guy is still so handsome, he is still a rich second generation, and he is a scientific genius who has been reported in a big newspaper like the Los Angeles Times.

When this genius is forced to show his intention to pursue himself, it is difficult for a woman not to be moved.

"Maybe at night, you can try the mouth of the goddess of the big mouth, is it really that big. ”

Able muttered to himself into the air, then smiled and got up to leave the company.
