Chapter 230: Fame and Profit

After the press conference, Mia found Wu Tao and said, "Boss, as the first scientific research achievement of our laboratory, will it be too much of a loss for you to contribute it for free?" After all, this laboratory has poured too much effort and investment into you, and there is a lot of scientific research cost behind every achievement. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf we don't count the returns, I'm afraid we won't be able to sustain ourselves better. ”

Wu Tao sat in the car and patiently explained: "At present, the epidemic of the Ebola variant virus is raging, and our special medicine seems to be very important, and it is a life-saving remedy that countries around the world urgently need. But what about when the pandemic passes? ”

Mia pondered: "When the epidemic passes, our miracle drugs will lose the market. But what if there is a new outbreak next year? ”

Wu Tao shook his head and said, "That's impossible. The worldwide impact of the Ebola variant has triggered a WHO red alert. After this battle, countries around the world will definitely include it as a serious infectious disease prevention and develop a vaccine for it to avoid another outbreak of the epidemic. It's like leprosy back then......"

Mia suddenly realized: "In this way, our special drug formula is actually a one-shot deal. It is difficult to negotiate the price, and if we insist on high prices, we will establish a bad image of mercenary in today's critical situation. And the boss you unexpectedly provide it for free, although there is a loss, but it can bring a lot of fame and reputation to the laboratory. ”

Wu Tao let out a sigh and said, "That's right, fame is the thing that our laboratory lacks the most at the moment. And for the laboratory, with fame, there will naturally be no shortage of benefits. ”

Just then, Mia's cell phone rang, and she hurriedly picked it up, and after a pleasant conversation, hung up. The whole doll-like pretty face is full of joy.

"Boss, I just received a donation from GE Healthcare, 30 million US dollars! That's what you call the benefits of fame, right? ”

Wu Tao smiled knowingly and gave Mia a thumbs up appreciatively.

At the same time, Janice, who was watching the live webcast of the press conference on the business plane, rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Mr. Wu will really give me a problem!" ”

The assistant Henry, a steady middle-aged man in his forties, was puzzled when he heard this: "One achievement in many laboratories is enough to eat for decades." This can ensure that even if there are no results for several years or even more than ten years, the laboratory can continue to operate. Isn't he doing this with the sustainability of the lab in mind? ”

Janice took a glass of red wine, took a slight sip and said, "Henry, do you think that with the scientific research potential shown by the future biological laboratory, they will lack results in the future?" Moreover, with today's epidemic situation and public opinion, it is really difficult to say which choice will bring greater benefits to which option is provided free of charge or paid provision. ”

After all, Henry has been in the mall for a long time, and he is a little channel: "I understand, Mr Wu has completely launched the fame of the future biological laboratory and established a good image." In this way, the amount of money donated by all sectors of society must be very considerable, and may even exceed the benefits brought by the direct sale of special drug formulas. It's just that he did this, resulting in us as the producer of special drugs, not having much profit to be gained. ”

Janice put down her glass and nodded, "So, he's giving me a problem." Then Janice stood up, her perfect body stretched out, and every step exuded a fiery charm.

"Well, this cooperation should be regarded as a useful attempt." After speaking, Janice twisted her delicate body and ordered: "Henry, inform Wyeth Pharmaceutical, in the name of donation, allocate 100 million US dollars to the Future Biological Laboratory." ”

“ok!”

Back in the Future Biology Laboratory, Wu Tao only saw seven or eight people, including Gavin.

"What about the rest?"

Gavin responded: "Dio and Kailin, along with the others, are in the state hospital, and continue to observe the patient's reaction to the drug after six hours, twelve hours, and twenty-four hours. ”

"So what are you doing?"

"Mr Wu, I'm working on a vaccine for the Ebola variant."

Wu Tao patted the other party's shoulder and said, "It seems that you understand my approach, I am very pleased." ”

Gavin smiled knowingly: "Of course." ”

Wu Tao's smile flickered, and he changed his words and said, "But there is one thing, I must criticize you." ”

Mia and the others brought coffee and said, "What's the matter?" Gavin was even more puzzled.

"Why did you choose me as the first author of the paper in Cell? Are you trying to slap me on the back? ”

Gavin hurriedly explained: "Mr Wu, I am really ranked according to the degree of contribution to this major discovery. The microbial intelligent identification platform and multi-legged intelligent robot you provided contributed the most to this discovery. So it should be the first author! ”

Mia nodded in agreement, "I think so too." In fact, when Gavin set this order, none of us had any objections. ”

Wu Tao said solemnly: "Gavin, Mia, you are setting up a specimen of academic corruption for the future biological laboratory!" According to what you say, any of your achievements and discoveries in the future will be based on me as the first author? ”

Gavin and Mia were speechless!

Wu Tao's tone softened, and he said earnestly: "I know that you have factors to consider for me in doing this. But it is undeniable that this is very bad for the future development of the laboratory! The goal of the Future Biology Laboratory is to become the world's top laboratory. Without a sound academic mechanism, how to motivate everyone to have the courage to climb the peak of scientific research? How to maintain the sound and sustainable development of scientific research? ”

Gavin's frustration suddenly disappeared, and a gleam suddenly appeared in his cloudy eyes: "Mr. Wu, I understand. ”

Mia was even more radiant, and in her eyes, looking at Wu Tao's figure, she became more and more tall and majestic.

Wu Tao stood up and said, "I have already called Ms. Emily, and they will publish a correction in the next journal." In addition, the vaccine thing will be put on first. After handing over the formula source of the special drug to Wyeth and Huaxia Shencheng Pharmaceutical Group in the United States, I will give you a bonus and then take a long vacation. Only with a degree of relaxation can it be easier to produce results. ”

Gavin looked respectful and said, "Yes, Mr. Wu." Two servings of the formula, I've got it ready. ”

At this moment, Ye Huan's phone called.

"Okay, Brother Wu, this time you can provide the formula of the special medicine for free, and you are impressed by it! I also gained a lot of benefits from it......"

Wu Tao didn't bother to listen to him, so he interrupted: "Time is life, how do you plan to get the source of the formula?" ”

Ye Huan immediately said: "The local special situation in Hawaii will contact you immediately, and you give him the source of the fungus." Half an hour later, there was a direct flight to Shencheng. ”

"That's too slow, let him fly on my private jet."

After the agreement, Wu Tao hung up the phone. Soon the head of Wyeth's R&D department called: "Mr. Wu, please hand over the source of the formula to the Pearl Harbor military representative, and he will send F22 fighter jets to Philadelphia." ”

“ok!”
