Chapter 164: Conspiracy
Another week passed.
On another Saturday, An Feng flew to Los Angeles with his wife for a vacation. It seems that six or seven hundred kilometers are far away, but for them it is just forty or fifty minutes of luxurious waiting, and those who live far away in big cities can commute to work by car for more than an hour.
The work of the research center is coming to an end, the patient has been completely cured, and there is still bits and pieces of work left, as well as intensely prepared press releases, in response to various media and scientific doubts...... Anyway, everyone is full of joy, because the big boss speaks, and this month the bonus will be paid.
The U.S. economy has been weak, and it is difficult for companies to pay bonuses, and many small and medium-sized enterprises do not have year-end bonuses. Therefore, the bonus paid by Anfeng at the end of the month is exciting, and it also allows everyone to work more and work hard...... But the big boss is playing on the beach with his wife at this moment.
Anyway, An Feng didn't regard himself as a serious scientist, and it was almost enough to give guidance occasionally, and he didn't want to come at the most critical moment this time, but Joanna wanted to witness the miracle, and she wanted to eat French food, buy a new bag, and a necklace and two customized dresses......
Santa Monica Beach.
An Feng is holding a mobile phone, Joanna has put a lot of POSE in the background of the beach, it is very beautiful, if it is replaced by a single-lens reflex, it will be more able to capture the wonderful, An Feng has a lot of advanced lenses that have ruined three generations, but since the last time a novice shoots a close-up shot will not pull the focus and fall into the water, he has stayed away from photography.
The waves were churning, and the waves chased the crowd to the beach, washing over Joanna's ankles. The skirt fluttered in the wind, she pressed the skirt and turned around happily a few times, An Feng recorded these energetic and wonderful shots, and then she trotted over to check the results of the shooting just now.
"This one is so ugly, the hair is flying all over the face! Delete! She pointed.
After deleting a lot of nice photos, Joanna took his phone, clicked the screen with her fingers, glanced at him, and typed in a line with a smile: My most beautiful goddess. Upload it with a few more pictures. She turned the screen to him: "How's that?" I'm so beautiful. You're sure to get a lot of followers! ”
An Feng was infected by her liveliness and self-confidence. Laughing.
"Carry me this way." Joanna pointed to a small stretch of soft sand ahead.
An Feng turned his back to her and bent over: "Come on, baby!" ”
"Oh!" Joanna jumped on his back, put her arms around his neck, and said affectionately, "You're so nice...... Any request will be met for me. ”
An Feng smiled and said, "Who made you my wife!" ”
She smiled: "I will satisfy you too." ”
An Feng carried her back and walked a few steps. The phone she was holding rang. She pressed answer. The voice is soft and sweet: "Hey! ”
"Mr. Ann?" The other end of the line hesitated.
"I'm Mrs. Ann." She laughs.
"Oh - hello Madame Ann, it's nice to hear your voice, it's beautiful. You must also be very beautiful. The other party also smiled and complimented him.
"Your mouth is so sweet! I'll give him my phone! Joanna put the phone to his ear, and An Feng said, "Hey, Mike? ”
Keith's voice came: "It's me, and Madame is relaxing?" ”
An Feng smiled: "Yes, we are at the beach, and things have come to an end?" ”
"No problem, if there are no accidents, we can hold a press conference tomorrow and announce this breakthrough to the whole world!" ”
"Congratulations." An Feng said, "But if you have a flat mentality, this is only the first stage, and there will be a Nobel Prize for you to win in the later stage!" ”
"You are absolutely indispensable for your help, and without you, we would not be where we are today," Keith said. ”
After chatting with an excited Keith for a while, he hung up.
……
The breakthrough of the research center is indeed worldly, two weeks ago she was a terminal cancer patient who was about to become critically ill, and the woman was filmed by the media, expressing her determination to give it a go rather than sit and wait for death, and now, she has turned around and has a smile on her face.
Although the treatment process was strictly confidential, and the security guards of Aegis Security completely shut out the curious, it did not mean that the research center did not allow filming. Some big TV stations were still able to track and record, and when the news began to be broadcast, the news instantly spread all over the world.
Completely overcoming cancer, and still a terminal patient, this is simply unthinkable...... It feels like technology has jumped for decades, but the facts are in front of you, and there is no room for doubt, and after the news is over, there will be various tests to prove the major success of medicine.
The media in the past few days can almost be described as a ruckus.
And the "Jean and Tima Medical Research Center" became popular almost overnight and is well-known in the world.
As for An Feng...... It wasn't much to think about, because it was true, there were no surprises, but Joanna was happy and said that her hero was the best.
Just when the news exploded, the scientists became famous, and the media cheered, the real expert, An Feng, was invited to a cocktail party at his mansion in Beverly Hills.
I don't know why Matthew chose Beverly Hills, which is a celebrity haunt and a high-end community, but it is not comparable to a top rich man like him, such as the last time Santa Barbara, a mansion isolated from curiosity, and a few minutes drive on private roads.
Picked up by a Bentley to the location, someone came to open the door.
An Feng is naturally in a suit, but Joanna is dressed like a star on the red carpet, a formal evening dress, a black mermaid skirt, decorated with some shiny crystals, very grand, but in order to highlight the characteristics of the dress, she doesn't have much jewelry, just a pair of earrings.
Sometimes jewelry is just an embellishment, not a theme, and people are.
Let Joanna walk in with her arm on her shoulder, the house is huge, in Beverly Hills, this kind of size and decoration mansion is estimated to be in the tens of millions. After coming in, the cocktail party had already begun, but no one minded An Feng being late, because he was big enough and he was a special guest of honor for the host of the cocktail party.
"Hey! Look at you! Matthew walked over with a smile, "With a big smile on his face." My wife is so beautiful, and my life must be incomparably better! ”
"Thank you!" An Feng shook hands with him, hugged him, and then said, "It's a happy event for us." ”
Matthew smiled: "Of course, tonight's drinking party is for you." ”
An Feng didn't understand a little, but when the other guests talked to him and his wife one by one, he found that he was really the focus of the entertainment, although he didn't know these people, among the guests present, he was most familiar with Matthew. There are several other common partners.
But the pace is a bit leaning towards ...... Stammered him.
That's right. Look at these people, they all took the initiative to step forward, showing elegant etiquette to themselves with a smile on their faces, as if they were specially trying to win his favor.
After Matthew's introduction, he went to chat with other people. An Feng's side has become a small circle vying to hand out business cards. He had to entertain one by one. Looking at the business cards they handed over, the origin is not simple, either investors or shareholders of group enterprises. It is also very weighty to take it out.
An Feng is not a novice anymore, a billionaire with a net worth of tens of billions, except for some really big families, he can despise most of the people present. So his attitude is very indifferent, even if the other party is very enthusiastic, he uses his own set of methods to deal with them.
After chatting for a while, Joanna was also warmly invited to the circle of other celebrities and ladies, chatting and laughing, discussing some topics such as fashion and luxury consumption. She knows no less than them in this regard, both at the root and now, she knows a lot about this aspect.
After An Feng dealt with the warm guests, he finally stood with Matthew.
"How? This kind of relationship tastes good for everyone to stutter and find casually, right? Matthew said with a smile, touching his glass.
"Okay." An Feng said.
Matthew said: "You have to adapt to this, as a core member of the group, you have to have that indifference, you just need to know the way, they are right to talk to you." ”
An Feng smiled, Matthew was right, these relationships can actually be used by him, just in the crowd just now, there are businessmen in the media industry, wine industry, or other luxury industries, with a large number of contacts, he believes that as long as he is in need, he will give them a phone call to help - but they will owe favors, and in the future, they will climb up the big tree of their own, contact more advanced circles, and know more heavyweights and billionaires.
It's like trying to get to know the Sinclair family through yourself. Don't look at Matthew standing here, but he has little interest in these people, and if it weren't for the warm invitation of the owner of the house, he wouldn't have chosen the venue for the cocktail tonight. The right is to expand the social circle for An Feng.
When I was with Matthew and several cores, the main topic came, and Matthew said, "I heard that your second step is the research and development of anti-cancer drugs?" ”
An Feng nodded: "Of course, it can be accepted by civilians, but it requires a certain amount of medicine to bring me almost crazy benefits." ”
Matthew praised: "The essence of making money is the trickle, but how long do you expect it to be effective?" ”
An Feng thought for a while: "It is estimated that it will take at least half a year, and if it is slow, it will be possible in one or two years, and the work in this area is more complicated." ”
Matthew advises: "Actually, even if a drug is developed, it doesn't need to be launched too quickly, because your integrative therapy can squeeze the fat out of that group of rich people." ”
An Feng nodded, "Yes, this is also a way to seek profits. ”
Matthew continued: "And what's next? If there is a breakthrough, you won't continue to plan to sell it, right? ”
"No, it won't." An Feng shook his head, there are hundreds of billions at every turn, and there are really few companies that can afford it. "I'm going to look for a partner."
Matthew's smile widened.
An Feng knew what he wanted, and he also had this intention: "Your mother occupies 30% of the shares of the research center, and then with the influence of the family, it is no problem to support a pharmaceutical company, right?" ”
"Absolutely." Matthew was waiting for this simple sentence, "We can completely control a pharmaceutical factory, and then license the patent production, as for other PR, market rules or whatever, don't worry, the family will handle it, no one will be able to stop us from making money." ”
"After one more additional investment, we can invest in pharmaceutical factories," Anfeng said. ”
Matthew agrees that there is a huge market for effective cancer drugs, with a global value of $70 billion worth of cancer drugs last year, and a variety of complex factors increase the risk of human cancer. Every year, people suffer from cancer, and drugs with good efficacy are definitely the overlords of the monopoly market.
From a businessman's point of view, there is no need for a cure in one course, two or three can be considered, or longer, anyway, it is to give the patient hope, but it cannot be achieved immediately. It's hard to say, but it's a common unspoken rule in the medical world, no matter what kind of medicine it is. (To be continued......)
