Chapter 45: Yan Feng
Although Hong Kong has not attracted as much attention as in the past years with the rise of the four major cities in the mainland, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the foundation of the old capitalist city is still there, and walking through the high-rise Causeway Bay, Shen Rui saw the prosperity and charm of this big city for the first time.
Taking the luxury car Rolls-Royce arranged by the Peninsula Hotel, Shen Rui and Ye Wuxian first came to the hotel to check in, and then the same car drove the two of them to the private Victoria Hospital to meet the only top expert who could be qualified for research and development in Ye Wuxian's eyes.
Looking out the window, Ye Wuxian said with some regret: "The person we are going to meet is called Yan Feng, born in Yilan, Treasure Island, one of my grandfather's students, majoring in bacteria. ”
"We should pay attention to the proportions of our speech and the time of visit, and leave after a little greeting, never mention the sad things of others, and if we want to know something, go back to the attending doctor."
Shen Rui was stunned, "Bacteriology? We're working on plant purifications, so why hire a bacteriology expert? ”
As an ordinary person who doesn't know what to do, when Shen Rui thinks of bacteria, his mind is full of Unit 731 and bacteriological warfare, to be honest, Shen Rui really doesn't have a good impression of the word bacteria.
Ye Wuxian smiled slightly, "It's normal for you to ask such a question, after all, you have never been in contact with the most cutting-edge biological research field in the scientific community, according to the new research progress in recent years, the scientific community is establishing the unique status of bacteria in the biological world, and the study of bacteria is a very popular project in the top scientific research institutions at present." ”
"For example, why are some people thin? Some people are fat? Some people don't get fat no matter how they eat? Some people drink cold water to grow meat? ”
"Because of genetics?" Shen Rui tried to answer.
Ye Wuxian shook his head, "Genetic determinism is outdated, and the latest research results show that it is not genetically determined that what determines human fat or thin, but the microflora in the body. ”
"As we all know, there are countless bacteria in the human body, these bacteria have different divisions of labor, after the food enters the digestive system, there will be several bacteria at the same time, breaking down the fat and protein contained in the food into enzymes that are easily absorbed by humans, if your body happens to lack this kind of flora, or the number of bacteria is limited, it cannot transform all food."
"As a result, obesity occurs, and fat cannot be broken down into enzymes, and directly enters the circulatory system in the form of fat, so it becomes fatter and fatter."
"Bacteria are more powerful than that, you just need to know that although the name bacteria is not good, it is one of the most important elements that human beings cannot lack."
"According to my experiments at the base, colorful mushrooms contain at least 30,000 kinds of special bacteria, and the number and variety are so huge that they are simply unbelievable, so we need top bacteria experts like Yan Feng to distinguish which of these bacteria are beneficial to the human body and which ones will bring harm to humans."
"Of course, it's not that I can't do this job, but I didn't put too much energy into bacteria or botany before that, Yan Feng is my grandfather's proud disciple, and he has been researching in the field of bacteria for more than thirty years, and it will take me at least three years to catch up with Yan Feng's achievements, the speed is too slow."
"Besides, I don't want to devote too much energy to special research now, because I think it seems more interesting to venture everywhere, and more importantly, Yan Feng is not only a super-first-class bacterial expert, but also proficient in botany and biology, and is the leader of the Canadian gene sequencing team, and is a genetics expert."
"All in all, Yan Feng's selection is wonderful because he has all the skills needed, from cultivation to flora to reproduction and purification, preservation, transformation, it is not easy to transform a research result into a commodity, if we can't invite Yan Feng, we need to hire at least twelve top scientists in various fields."
"Not to mention the slow progress of research and development, the relationship between people is also a problem, the existence of scientists often has quirks, when the twelve big-name scientists go to the research institute to stop, just coordinating the working relationship between them will give you a headache, and if we can invite Yan Feng, with his strength and a group of young deputies, it will soon be able to produce results."
Shen Rui nodded, saying this, Yan Feng was indeed the best candidate to host the laboratory.
As for Ye Wuxian's crazy talk that he can catch up with Yan Feng in three years and achieve more than thirty years in the professional field, Shen Rui is no longer surprised, this guy is an existence that is wise and close to demons, and his thinking is often incomprehensible to ordinary people.
Private Victoria Hospital.
In a separate garden house, Shen Rui saw the legendary Yan Feng.
He looked like he was in his fifties, his expression was haggard, he was wearing a crumpled white shirt, and he didn't know if it was because of his sorrow, Yan Feng's hair was already completely white, and he barely managed to squeeze out a smile when he saw Ye Wuxian coming to see him.
Private hospitals are different from public hospitals, as long as they can afford to pay for them, they can provide any number of good medical conditions.
Like the garden house that Yan Feng's family lives in now, there are three hospitals in the whole hospital, and the daily rent is as high as 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, which does not include medical expenses, which shows how heavy the pressure on Yan Feng's family is now.
But for the sake of his daughter, Yan Feng doesn't care about money, it is said that he has put the only real estate under his name for sale, Hong Kong is a place where every inch of land is expensive, even a big scientist like Yan Feng, the savings he has saved in his life are just this house, with a market price of 27 million Hong Kong dollars.
"I haven't seen the teacher in over a year, is he okay?" Yan Feng asked reverently.
Ye Wuxian nodded, "Grandpa is in good spirits and has a good appetite, so every morning he has to eat two coke rings and drink a big bowl of bean juice, plus a boiled egg." ”
Yan Feng laughed, "The teacher still likes to eat unhealthy fried food, as for the bean juice in BJ City, the taste, I feel sick to my stomach when I think about it." ”
Ye Wuxian said: "Yes, I have told my grandfather many times, but he just refuses to listen, not only likes to eat coke rings, but also goes to Houhai to eat belly two times in three days, Shunfeng's hot pot, duck in the cheap shop, lamb chops in the barbecue season, white meat in the casserole, completely carnivore." ”
Talking about his teacher, Ye Wuxian's grandfather, Yan Feng showed a rare smile on his face several times, and he didn't know what kind of existence Ye Wuxian, the monster's grandfather, could make Yan Feng, a top elite in the scientific world, so admired?
As soon as the words changed, Ye Wuxian said, "Is the money enough?" ”
Yan Feng nodded, "The University of Hong Kong is a good one, it has a tradition of respecting teachers and providing professors with the highest salaries in the world, besides, I still have a house." ”
Shen Rui did not speak, respecting teachers is indeed the ancient Chinese civilization, I remember reading Lu Xun back then, in 1927 Lu Xun's annual income was more than 700 yuan, and the president of the Republic of China at that time, Chiang Kai-shek's monthly salary was only 800 yuan, and the income of being a professor was almost a few yuan as being a president.
Several universities in Hong Kong have also continued the tradition of the Republic of China, and an elite professor like Yan Feng has a combined annual income of 3 million Hong Kong dollars, so he can afford such expensive medical expenses.
But the amount of money for such a bottomless pit as treating a disease is not enough to smash, Yan Feng said it easily, but in fact, he has been forced to sell the house.
Ye Wuxian really didn't discuss his daughter's condition with Yan Feng, he didn't even mention a word, and after talking for about fifteen minutes, he said goodbye to Shen Rui and went to find Yan Duoduo's attending doctor.
"What kind of illness is Yan Duoduo?" Shen Rui couldn't help but ask curiously.
Ye Wuxian sighed lightly and said, "If it's really a disease and heals, I'm afraid it's not..."
