"The highest bidder right now is Pfizer, who is offering $390 million, but we think it's far from their psychological price point, and there's room for improvement. Although the people of Novartis only promised 120 million in cash, they are willing to make up the rest with some shares, are you interested? Flower was well aware of the progress of the negotiations and told the data one by one.

"No, just cash." Li Jie is categorical, what he needs now is his own start-up capital, and the shares of these pharmaceutical companies are not in the plan at all. What's more, for these large multinational pharmaceutical companies with a market value of more than 100 billion yuan, hundreds of millions of shares worth hundreds of millions are not even one percent, and they can only be used as decorations.

"Understood, it's a wise choice, Bruce." Flower is clearly willing to see such an option, which means more cash.

"Don't be in a hurry, talk slowly, the application for patent rights is the right thing, and you should hurry up." Li Jie knows that these guys are actually more wait-and-see, on the one hand, they are not willing to raise prices for each other because of too many competitors, and on the other hand, they are also paying close attention to the situation of large-scale clinical trials, but he is confident in this regard, and believes that after the preliminary results of clinical trials come out, the price will only rise.

"Hey, Dad, what are you talking about? It seems to be very happy. Lisa also finished the photo ceremony with the dean and ran happily towards the two.

"Of course, baby, I'm congratulating you and Bruce on your successful completion of school, and your mom and I are so proud of you." Flower smiled and hugged Lisa, he still loved this precious daughter.

Li Jie naturally took Lisa into his arms, Lisa was obviously a little embarrassed, but he seemed to get along very well with his father, but he was also very happy, I don't know how this guy did it, even his father, who has always been serious, has a good impression of him, she thought sweetly in her heart.

On the one hand, he is his employer, and on the other hand, he is the boyfriend of Bao'er's daughter, but he can't find the feeling of these two identities in the face of Li Jie, he always feels a little cautious, and unconsciously very convinced of the other party, and can only sigh that he has a natural charm of superiority.

Lisa's mother also ended her conversation with her friends and walked over. Ursula Fergus Marcos is a typical housewife who doesn't interfere too much with Lisa's choice of boyfriend, not to mention that this kind of thing is usually handled by Flor.

"Honey, I'm so proud of you, and congratulations to you Bruce, didn't your parents make it to the graduation ceremony?" Ursula kissed her daughter's forehead affectionately and asked Li Jie.

"Yes, it's too far away, and it's not necessary, not to mention that I have a lot of things going on lately." Li Jie replied that this was not entirely an excuse, he was thinking about the next project to invest in, and it was a bit complicated to connect things from two different worlds.

"Today is a good day, Mr. Marcos, Mrs. Marcos, and I hope it is an honor to invite you to lunch."

Naturally, Flower would not refuse his big benefactor, and Ursula obviously wanted to know more about her precious daughter's new boyfriend.

Lunch was served at Jeangeorges on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. A well-known fashion landmark, Manhattan's Fifth Avenue is home to some of the world's best brands and a high-end shopping boulevard. Boutiques, fine dining, long-established department stores, and public cultural facilities are all available...... It's the heart of New York fashion and synonymous with luxury.

Jeangeorges, a three-Michelin-starred restaurant on Fifth Avenue, is known as the best French restaurant in New York, and has become the Vanity Fair of New York. There are two types of people who dine here most often: celebrities such as Denzel Washington, Tom Cruise and Nick Kidman; There is also a kind of businessman who has a successful career and knows how to enjoy life.

"So, Bruce, would you choose to stay in New York? You know, after all, after graduation, many foreign students choose to return to their home country. Ursula wiped her mouth with a napkin and asked.

"Of course, yes. Mrs. Marcos, I think being here will help my career even more, so I will choose to stay. Li Jie said in a calm tone, and then turned his head to look at Lisa, who was sitting on his left. And, here's something I can't let go of, right? ”

Of course, he knew when to say something sweet, and Lisa's chick was so sweet by what he said that she gave her a fragrant kiss despite the presence of her parents.

"Uh, are you talking about the legal aspect of your career?" Ursula asked, a little confused.

"Oh, no, no, in fact I have more ideas in bioengineering." Li Jie shook his head and denied it, although he didn't know why the owner of this body chose to major in law, but obviously bioengineering helped him more. If bioengineering and demonic knowledge can be successfully combined, then even more powerful power is just around the corner.

From the beginning, Li Jie didn't think that he was the only outsider who appeared in this world, and March and Gus were good examples, not to mention that the blonde man at the party was probably also a member of the alien camp. In this way, there may be more potential opponents hiding in some corner of the world and ready to attack, and the faster ones will win the initiative.

"Wow, Bruce, I didn't know you were interested in bioengineering, did you study genetics and genetics?" Lisa asked with her big beautiful eyes open and blinking.

"My dear, in fact, Bruce has achieved very remarkable results, I think it's just because they are more modest in China that they didn't tell you." Flower looked at Li Jie's expression and said cautiously, he was a little unsure whether Li Jie was willing to discuss these things.

Ursula didn't have so many scruples, she had already learned something from Flower's mouth, and she couldn't help asking. "Is it true? Bruce, I've heard that there are large companies willing to pay hundreds of millions of dollars for your patents? ”

"Honey, those are things that haven't been decided yet." Flower hurriedly tried to stop Ursula from discussing this.

"It's okay, Flower. There are no outsiders here, and Lisa said it doesn't matter, just don't spread the word. Li Jie smiled slightly, and continued to increase his favorability in the hearts of the two. There are companies that are interested, but Dr. Bell and I both believe that the new drug will work better than expected, so we don't think that now is the right time to make a move, and it depends on the results of further large-scale clinical trials. ”

"It's really surprising that Bruce is not only serious about the law, but also in biomedicine." Ursula gossiped and was a little apprehensive, the young man in front of him was a glittering gold mine, about to become a billionaire, and he was also his daughter's boyfriend.

"Relying more on Dr. Bell's expertise and the collective wisdom of all colleagues in the lab, I just provided some references and original formulations for ideas." Li Jie gently put his palm on the back of Lisa's hand, which was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, and said sincerely. "Please don't see me, I obviously value human connection and emotions more than material possessions, so just think of me as Lisa's boyfriend, otherwise I'll be very uncomfortable."

Young and talented, humble and polite, Ursula felt that her daughter seemed to have a good eye for people, and her favorability simply increased dramatically. Flor, who was on the side, suddenly found that Li Jie surprised him again, he integrated into his family very quickly, and seemed to be born to convince people of his words, which also led to a very harmonious atmosphere for lunch, which took nearly two hours to end.
