Chapter 662: The Best in the World
Saturday, September 17, 2025.
At half past eight in the morning, in the No. 1 conference hall of the Kyoto International Convention Center, this year's Huaguo Neurosurgery Annual Meeting was grandly opened!
βγγγγγγ Next, let us welcome the new chairman, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, winner of the Nobel Prize and Lasker Prize, Professor Tian Lu from the School of Medicine of Beijing Normal University to deliver a speech with warm applause!"
"Boom!"
It was as if a dynamite bag had been ignited, and the entire conference hall suddenly became a sensation!
In the applause that almost exploded the hall, thousands of participants stood up one after another, one by one, on tiptoe, stretching their necks to look in the direction of the rostrum!
This is a real big shot!
Nobel Prize winner, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, third on the Forbes China Rich List released in 2025, and the nineteenth super-rich person in the world, every title is a dazzling halo, and now, all the halos are concentrated on the head of this one person!
And more importantly, this person has never stopped moving forward!
In that era more than 100 years ago, scientists often produced a lot of heavyweight results in their lifetime, such as Newton, but in this era of professional segmentation and ultra-refinement of research directions, most scientists may only have one achievement with sufficient weight in their lifetime!
Nobel laureates are no exception!
Many people are favored by the Nobel Committee when they are dying, and even when they are young. But there may never be any higher achievements in the following decades, after all, many times some scientific achievements are the result of a combination of hard work and luck. It is precisely because of this that in the past 100 years, winning two Nobel Prizes has become an almost impossible task!
But in everyone's eyes, Tianlu is different.
Since winning the Nobel Prize in 2021, Tian Lu has not traveled all over the world to give reports and give speeches like other scientists, but has fallen silent and almost never accepts any interviews. I seldom go elsewhere to give presentations and give speeches. But. Although people have fallen silent, academic achievements have not decreased, but there is a growing trend!
If nothing else, just the familiar neurosurgery here. In addition to the follow-up data on the routine of epilepsy surgery and neurosurgery, it continues to be published every year. Outside of perfecting the theory. The results of functional neurosurgery are one after another, showing a trend of becoming more and more intensive!
Not every achievement will be hung with the name of Tian Lu, but as long as you see that the author has the words neurosurgery of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Beijing Normal University. Everyone will understand that his guidance must be indispensable to this!
Over the years, the name Tianlu has become a phenomenon!
As long as it is a cooperative research led by Tian Lu or neurosurgery, no hospital or neurosurgeon can refuse, and the number of cooperative institutions is constantly expanding the number of cooperative institutions in the established epilepsy surgery and neurosurgery diagnosis and treatment routines, and the number of participants in those functional neurosurgery cooperation projects that are maturing is even larger. In particular, the top dozen hospitals in China are eyeing each other, waiting for Tianlu to launch new cooperative research topics!
As long as it is a book edited by Tian Lu, such as "Epilepsy Surgery" in the early years, and "Epilepsy" and "Neurosurgery" in the past two years, each book will cause a huge sensation after it is published! Those extremely perfect theories summarized, as well as the exploration and inference of cutting-edge research in the discipline, all deeply grasp the hearts of all professionals!
The Journal of Neuroscience of Beijing Normal University has just been published for only three years, but the impact factor is a step a year after relying only on the series of articles of the Institute, Future Biology and Neurosurgery, and it has quickly stepped into the ranks of top biomedical journals in China.
At the end of each year, during the postgraduate examination, in the two majors of neurosurgery and neurobiology, some people directly divide the tutors into four levels: ordinary tutors, calf tutors, big bull tutors and Tian Lu! Many people have heard that in the School of Medicine of Beijing Normal University, which ranks first in comprehensive strength in the national medical school and ranks second in the college entrance examination score, when selecting second-level discipline tutors every year, the students of the basic eight-year system and the clinical eight-year program also divide the tutors into two classes: Tian Lu and other tutorsγγγγγγ
This is only in the field of neurosurgery, which everyone here is concerned about, and as for neurosurgery, Tian Lu is still in full swing and dazzling!
Neurophysiology, Neuropathology, Neuropsychology, Neuropharmacology, Biochemistry, Immunology, Cognitive Neuroscienceγγγγγγ The scientific research papers published by the Institute of Neurobiology of Beijing Normal University and Future Biotechnology Co., Ltd. contain almost all aspects of neurobiology, although there are no major breakthrough research results, but the intensive release of cutting-edge papers still makes people understand how strong Tian Lu's academic leadership ability is!
It is precisely because such achievements cannot be ignored that in 2023, when the Chinese Neuroscience Association conducts a general election, Tian Lu was undisputed as the new president! and in the second year, when the Chinese Medical Association was re-elected, he was also elected as the new vice president.
In fact, at that time, there were many people who wanted to nominate Tian Lu as the president, after all, his influence and strength were strong enough, it was not impossible to do so, but Tian Lu really didn't have much interest in this nominal position, so he politely declined.
In addition to his academic achievements, Tian Lu's personal wealth is also the focus of everyone's attention.
In the new Forbes list of the world's richest people, Tian Lu ranks 19th in the world and third in China with a wealth valuation of 59 billion US dollars. Second only to some of the old tycoons!
Needless to say, with the sale of two heavyweight patents for 10 billion US dollars, more than 20 patents for billions of dollars, and the re-evaluation of the sales share of several patents, Tianlu has added 20 billion US dollars of wealth, and the rapid development of Happy Biotechnology and Lantian Company has made people see the huge impact of science and technology on the lives of ordinary people!
In just three years, with the reputation of Tianlu, the annual sales of Happy Biotech in 2024 have exceeded 1.5 billion US dollars, and Lantian Company is even more behind. Exceeded two billion dollars. The valuation of the two companies exceeds $6 billion! What's even more terrifying is that countless financial institutions have conducted thorough and detailed assessments, believing that as long as the two companies choose to go public, their total assets will definitely exceed $20 billion soon!
What a great fortune!
All financial institutions are very sure of one thing. Tian Lu stands on the throne of the richest man in the world. It's just a matter of time.
These three companies. In addition, Kyoto Pharmaceutical, which has not grown much in assets but is very promising for the future, and the laboratory animal center, which has been positioned as a service from the beginning. These are extremely high-quality assets with great prospects for future growth. Regardless of how far they will develop, in fact, as long as Tian Lu is willing to let Future Biotech go public, or allow the state or other financial institutions to raise funds, then he can definitely double his wealth in an instant and quickly sit in that position!
In fact, not only several large foreign stock exchanges, but also the upper echelons of the two domestic stock markets are also frequently visiting Future Biotech, hoping that Tianlu can make Future Biotech listed, at least let Happy Biotech and Lantian Company be listed, on the one hand, inject the best assets into the stock market, and on the other hand, it can also speed up the development of enterprises.
However, to the disappointment of countless financiers, Tian Lu never paid attention to such requests and suggestions, and never even met with relevant personnel! Not only did its industry not have the slightest intention of going public, but even Kyoto Pharmaceutical, a large pharmaceutical company, Future Biotech was desperately increasing its shareholding, which seemed to have the intention of turning it into a subsidiaryγγγγγγ
Nobel Prize winners, academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, world-class tycoons, no matter which title is an existence that needs to be looked up to, especially as a scientist, Tian Lu's achievements are too brilliant!
Therefore, when Tian Lu's title in the Neurosurgery Committee changed from chairman-elect to chairman-elect and stepped onto the rostrum, the audience stood up, and the applause was like a thunderstorm, which shook the entire conference center!
"Thank you, thank you. β
In the warm applause, standing on the rostrum, Tian Lu smiled and nodded to the audience.
After the applause stopped and everyone sat down, Tian Lu groaned slightly and said: "Thank you for your support to me, I feel very honored to be able to hold the position of chairman! At the same time, I also feel a little ashamed, because in the past four years, although I have held the position of chairman-designate, I have not done much for the development of the branch, which is undoubtedly very incompetent!"
"Buzzγγγγγγ β
Tian Lu began to criticize himself on stage, and there was a slight commotion in the audience.
These words are also true, because Tian Lu does rarely participate in the academic activities organized by the branch, but it is not right, because Tian Lu's subordinates are very active in the branch, such as Diao Quan, Song Chenyang, etc., and the cooperative research organized by Tian Lu is also amplified through the branch, and it is the first to be released at the annual meeting!
"However, now that I am the chairman, I will definitely fulfill my obligations and responsibilities!"
Without waiting for everyone to think about it, Tian Lu had already smiled and said: "For this reason, I have already given a reply to the Kyoto Neurosurgery Branch, and at next year's general election meeting, I will not serve as the chairman of the committee for the third consecutive time, but put all my energy on the neurosurgery branch of the Chinese Medical Association!"
"Whoaγγγγγγγ β
The audience immediately burst into warm applause!
"Everybody knows that. β
After the applause stopped, Tian Lu continued: "Our country's neurosurgery started late, but it has developed rapidly, and now it has become a scale, and there are already many neurosurgeries with strong overall strength, and our level is not low in some mature technologies! However, in cutting-edge clinical research, especially in cutting-edge clinical research with great influence, we are still lagging behind, and there is still a gap between us and those developed countries!"
There was silence in the audience.
"As we all know, in this regard, the Department of Neurosurgery of the Second Affiliated Hospital has some experience. β
Taking a deep breath, Tian Lu Zhengse said: "In the field of functional neurosurgery such as epilepsy, and in the field of diagnosis and treatment of neurosurgery, we have made very outstanding achievements, and we have also begun to make efforts in the clinical application of neural stem cells, and we dare to say that we are at the forefront of our counterparts in the world! However, at present, I already have a very clear plan and a very specific plan in several general directions, so after I take over the post of chairman, before the end of this year, I hope to have a communication with all the members of the committee, and finalize this plan and plan through discussion and evaluation!"
"Buzzγγγγγγ β
There was a commotion in the audience again!
"We're in a backward position right now, but we're not without an advantage!"
Ignoring the commotion in the audience, Tian Lu waved his hand vigorously and said loudly: "Our advantage is that we have a very large team of neurosurgeons! We also have the largest number of neurosurgical patients in the world! As long as we formulate a perfect and feasible plan, train enough neurosurgeons who can strictly implement this plan, we will definitely be able to make a significant impact on clinical scientific research results!" And after that, with the progress of our technology and the improvement of scientific research concepts, I believe that we can also start to make breakthroughs in the field of real cutting-edge technology, and then truly bring our specialty to the forefront of the world!
"Boom!"
The big conference hall is boiling again!
Whether you agree with Tian Lu's words or not, whether you have confidence in the prospects he depicted or not, but at this moment, everyone stood up!
The slap hurts, and the face is also flushed with red tides!
Naturally, the young physicians were full of longing, even the senior neurosurgeons who had become rigid in their heavy work, and at this time they couldn't help but recall the passion of those days: the best in the world, once upon a time, it seemed to be their own dreamγγγγγγ (To be continued.) )
