Hengyang Laboratory is located in Mangshan Economic Development Zone, Xibu District, Jinzhou City.

It is a two-storey, reinforced concrete structure covering an area of about 936 square meters.

There is a pair of stone lions nearly two meters high at the door, with no signboard and no obvious signs.

However, it is one of the few biological laboratories in Jinzhou that has reached the P3 standard.

Zhou Xu is a middle-aged man of medium height, slightly chubby stature, who looks polite, with a square face and an elegant temperament.

No matter what Zhou Xuzheng does, he always looks like he is not in a hurry.

But today, Zhou Xuzheng, who has never liked the smell of smoke, sat alone on the cold stainless steel bench, smoking one puff after another, and the anxiety on his face was undisguisedly piled on it.

Hengyang Laboratory has poured all the efforts of Zhou Xuzheng for six years, but now it has reached the point where the oil has run out......

The project had run out of money six days earlier, and the cleaning system that maintained the lab's high standards was shut down a week ago after six years of uninterrupted operation.

The fingers holding the cigarette trembled slightly, and Zhou Xu was trying to calm his dazed and helpless mood......

Hengyang Group went bankrupt, and Chairman Yang Xiuyuan was imprisoned...... From the moment he learned the news, he knew that the project he had been holding on to for six years might also be on the verge of bankruptcy......

Thinking about everything he has done in the past six years, Zhou Xuzheng can't calm the melancholy and unwillingness in his heart no matter what.

The ether aniline project is a project supported by Yang Xiuyuan, with a cost of 30 million US dollars in six years, which is absolutely rare in the domestic pharmaceutical industry, which is still relying on expired foreign patents to imitate drugs in order to survive.

Six years of hard work, six years of tackling key problems, more than 2,000 days and nights...... Zhou Xuzheng has seen the hope of success, but providence makes people, at this juncture, Hengyang Group, as the capital, went bankrupt......

"Alas!"

I don't know if the first few cigarette butts were thrown on the ground in front of me, and the smoke curling into the air, if it had been changed before, I am afraid that it would have already caused a piercing alarm...... But now, the laboratory is quiet, like a haunted house.

Zhou Xuzheng has reason to believe that as long as he takes out the data accumulated in the past six years, it is not impossible to find a new employer.

But Yang Xiuyuan is his classmate, and he is also a buddy with a very strong relationship.

This made Zhou Xuzheng fall into endless melancholy and distress, according to the thinking logic of the Chinese, this is indeed a big problem that is difficult to choose.

Either change the owner to continue the research, or be stillborn and completely abandon the scientific research project of etheraniline......

Zhou Xuzheng, whose eyeballs were bloodshot, slowly took out another cigarette and wanted to light it for himself.

But at this time, the glass sliding door was pushed open from the outside, and a middle-aged man wearing a white coat and black-rimmed glasses appeared in Zhou Xuzheng's sight.

"Lao Zhou, Sujiang Group is here again......"

This middle-aged man's name is Luo Zhong, Zhou Xuzheng's most powerful assistant, and he is also a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Biology at Peking University, only two years later than Zhou Xuzheng.

Luo Zhong glanced at the cigarette butt in front of Zhou Xuzheng, sighed slightly and said, "Actually, the sincerity of the Sujiang Group is still very strong...... In three days, this is the seventh time, Lao Zhou, even if you don't think about the laboratory, you have to think about it for your sister-in-law......, right? It's a bit of a stretch. ”

When Luo Zhong mentioned Zhou Xuzheng's wife, Zhou Xuzheng's body was obviously stiff......

According to the international practice, at least more than 30% of the project funds used for a project of the level of western etheraniline must become the daily expenses of the team, that is, labor expenses, travel expenses and other expenses.

Thirty percent of $30 million, that's $9 million...... But in fact, in the past six years, the number of times Zhou Xu is sending money home is simply pitiful!

Even with an assistant like Luo Zhong, they have lived a tight life together for six years.

Zhou Xuzheng knew that Yang Xiuyuan supported his own research, and he also withstood a lot of pressure, so in the area of funding, he was nitpicking and never used it indiscriminately.

It is no exaggeration to say that of the $30 million in six years, at least $29.8 million has been spent on scientific research! The remaining $200,000 and other miscellaneous expenses will not be left behind.

"Let's ......"

After a pause, the lighter was still lit.

After taking three puffs of cigarette in a row, Zhou Xuzheng slowly stood up and asked, "Where are the people?"

Luo Zhong's solemn expression finally showed a little smile, and he hurriedly said, "I asked them to sit in the office first......

"Well, let's go. Zhou Xuzheng sighed, shook his head and took a step...... Yes, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your wife, sons, and daughters at home, right? In the past few years, it has really hurt them......

……

"This should be it. Getting out of a taxi and standing at the gate of Hengyang Laboratory, Yang Chen thought about it, and then he was roughly sure that this was the place he was looking for.

It's ridiculous to say, as the only heir of the Hengyang Group, Yang Chen doesn't even know much about many things in the group.

Glancing at the Mercedes-Benz S600 sedan parked at the door with a Jinzhou license plate, Yang Chen frowned slightly.

The overall conditions in Jinzhou City are not good, there are about a million luxury cars, but these millions of cars are ...... It's really rare.

What's more, it still appears in this place at this time......

Realizing that someone had already come to the door to pry the corner of his house before him, Yang Chen was not ambiguous, and immediately sped up his pace and trotted in.

There were no guards, no guards, and the gates were hidden.

As soon as the front foot entered, the back foot heard a hearty laugh from the left front......

"Hahahaha...... Mr. Zhou can rest assured that our investment in scientific research is not much less than that of Hengyang......"

At the same time, another man said: "Yes, in recent years, we have launched several tens of millions of projects in Sujiang Group, and the headquarters has paid more and more attention to innovation and research and development...... If Mr. Zhou and your team can reach a cooperation with our group, I think it will be quite a pleasant thing for both Mr. Zhou and our Sujiang Group......"

The man before continued: "What's more, Hengyang Group has unilaterally terminated the cooperation with Mr. Zhou, although Hengyang Laboratory is nominally Mr. Zhou's private laboratory, but the instruments and equipment of the laboratory, and even this house, are only borrowed by Hengyang Group, and the property rights are not Mr. Zhou's personal, and they are also within the scope of the court's seizure......"

It seems like a punch.

Zhou Xuzheng hesitated, "This ......"

Seeing that Zhou Xuzheng had already moved his mind, the man smiled and said: "But Mr. Zhou can rest assured, on behalf of Sujiang Group, I promise Mr. Zhou that as long as Mr. Zhou agrees to cooperate with our Sujiang Group, this house, as well as all the instruments and equipment in this house, will be returned to Mr. Zhou intact for continued use......"

"Then on your group's side, have you made a project budget?" Luo Zhong on the side couldn't help but ask, "How much money can you invest in the next step to continue to support our research?"

"This ......," the man pondered for a moment before he said, "As for the project you are studying, to be honest, we have only heard some rumors...... When it comes to the scale of financial support, I think we still have to do business, you have to sort out the research results and related data in the past few years, and then I will take it back and find someone to evaluate the progress before we can ......."

"Take it back and find someone to assess the progress?" At this time, Yang Chen pushed the door in, and mocked unceremoniously: "After you get those data and data, will you still find it back?" I'm afraid that this project will not be surnamed Zhou by then!"

On the way here, Yang Chen suddenly remembered something.

In the last life, the person who completed the research of the project of Ether Aniline was not Zhou Xuzheng, but a person named Luo Zhong!

Before the five people in the office came back to their senses, Yang Chen asked, "Among you, who is Luo Zhong?"

“…… I am Luo Zhong. Luo Zhong frowned, "Who are you? I haven't seen you at all! Is this a place where anyone can enter? Get out!"

"Hehe......" At this time, standing in front of Zhou Xu, the middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes recognized Yang Chen, and let out a chuckle at the same time, "Who should I be...... It turned out to be the son of Hengyang Group...... What's the matter? Do you Hengyang Group still have the ability to continue to support the follow-up research ......of this project?

Two chuckles, both with a heavy sense of ridicule.

Hengyang Group has finished playing, this is clear to everyone.

Yang Chen came here at this time to make a lot of nonsense, could it be that he was not stimulated enough and took the initiative to find abuse?

His eyes were full of contempt, Wu Shichun shook his head, "It's a pity......"

It sounds like a pity, but it's very harsh!
