Chapter 6: Chlorophyll Valuation
After Shen Huai applied for withdrawal, he did two things, one was to apply for a global patent for the chlorophyllin technology, and the other was to integrate and explain the outline, development prospects and investment value of the technology and send it to venture capital companies such as SoftBank, Sequoia Capital, and Mayfield in the form of emails. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The first two dare not say, but Shen Huai still has some hope for Mayfield, after all, it has invested in two well-known gene companies - Amgen (Amgen) and Genentech (gene technology), and has obtained rich returns, it still has a certain understanding of gene technology. But to Shen Huai's disappointment, several days have passed, and there is not even an automatic reply email.
Without start-up capital, everything is for nothing. Shen Huai's meager savings are not enough for the mass production of parasitic chlorophyllin.
On the contrary, Zhang Yi became the star physician of the hospital because of the success of the operation, and the hospital has already offered him a generous price, as long as he can contribute the technology to treat interstitial pneumonia, he will become a regular immediately without internship.
Zhang Yi talked to the dean in the hospital during the day and said that he would think about it again, and at the same time enjoyed the treatment of a star doctor. After getting off work, he followed behind Shen Huai like a fart, trying to find ways to extract the technology of parasitic chlorophyllin.
Shen Huai turned a blind eye, and he provided Zhang Yi with two doses for free, which was also to test the general utility of parasitic chlorophyllin.
Zhang Yi's feedback was very effective, and these two doses successfully saved two patients with advanced lung disease.
A young patient with advanced pneumoconiosis who worked in ore processing was brought to the hospital on a ventilator to survive, and the hospital concluded that he had less than a month to live. After the surgery, the results are very good, except that there is no strenuous exercise and there is a green substance on the top of the head, which is no different from ordinary people.
The second place is a patient with advanced lung cancer in his 70s, who was sent to the hospital with nausea tumors the size of fists in both lungs, and the hospital is expected to live only more than 10 days. Zhang Yi surgically removed most of the lungs in the hope of completely removing the tumor, and then transplanted chloroplast protein, conservatively estimating that as long as the cancer cells do not regenerate and do not spread to other organs, the patient can survive for a long time.
After the successful operation, the patient's family was grateful to the hospital, especially to Zhang Yi, and even knelt in front of Zhang Yi to kowtow to thank him. In order to express Zhang Yi's merits, the hospital first ended his internship early, offered him a high salary to retain him, and then gave him a 40,000 yuan operation bonus.
The young intern suddenly realized that Shen Huai's skills to make money were secondary, and the more important thing was to save people!
The doctor is benevolent, and after Zhang Yi handed over all the 40,000 yuan bonus to Shen Huai, he was so upset that he wanted to join the gang.
At noon, Shen Huai had just finished pouring the culture liquid on Old Man Zhang's mobile phone rang, and the phone showed the school's academic affairs office.
Director He's voice was very anxious, asking Shen Huai to finish the school immediately, and there was a big man who wanted to see him.
When he learned that he was the editor-in-chief of biotechnology in the journal Nature, Shen Huai's heart pounded, knowing that something was going on. Throwing the culture liquid to Zhang Yi, Shen Huai rushed to the school.
"Zhang Ming, Zhang Ming! Such an excellent student, why did you let it go, discerning and discerning! Such a bright bead, even a blind person can see that it is glowing! Where do your eyes go? Only care about their own business and drill money? ”
As soon as Shen Huai walked to the door, he heard Chen Houde ignore Zhang Ming's face and call his name and criticize him loudly.
Zhang Ming, who had been arrogant in front of the students, shrugged his head and didn't say a word.
Shen Huai chuckled, knocked on the door and walked in.
"Ouch! You're Professor Shen? Andre got up from the sofa and gave Shen Huai a big hug, although he had learned from the school that Shen Huai was very young, he didn't know that he was so young.
Shen Huai was not very accustomed to the way Westerners expressed their feelings, so he stretched out his hand after breaking free from his embrace, "Shen Huai." ”
"Hello, hello! I'm Andrew Jermie. Andre and Shen Huai shook hands warmly.
Chen Houde added on the side: "Dr. Andrew is the editor-in-chief of Nature Biotechnology. ”
Everyone quickly sat down and got to the point, and Andrew asked Shen Huai for advice on some unclear things in the paper, which not only asked but also tested, after all, the biotechnology of this paper is too fantastical.
When Shen Huai took out the video of Zhang Linshan's daily life, Andrew was deeply impressed, the boy in front of him was simply a genius in the use of biotechnology, if this technology can enter the clinic on a large scale, it will be a major change to the course of human history.
On the contrary, Chen Houde was embarrassed to listen to the two of them talking about biotechnology in fluent English, first, the English rhythm could not keep up, and too many professional words were used in it, and second, the technical communication was too profound, and he, the dean, could not understand it very well. What's more, such a good seedling was originally a student of the School of Biology of Jiangcheng University, but now he has dropped out! But fortunately, the words Jiangcheng University were also included in the paper, and the paper still had a positive impact on Jiangcheng University after it was published.
And what about Zhang Ming? After being reprimanded, his head was still a little dizzy, and when he saw that Dean Chen and the heavyweight Dr. Andrew both regarded Shen Huai as a guest, he was completely blindfolded, is Shen Huai still his student? He is witty, sharp, and even more professional than himself, and he still looks like he was wooden when he worked in a factory.
What made Zhang Ming beat his chest and regret the most was that at a dinner, Shen Huai tried to think that he stated the matter of parasitic chlorophyllin, which he regarded as a fantasy, and he also washed Shen Huai and said that you can write science fiction. Now it seems that he is the most SB person!
The poor master's supervisor, Professor Zhang, wanted to cry without tears.
Shen Huai and Andrew talked very happily, and in the end, Andrew seemed to have made some important decision, and he made a request to Chen Houde: "Professor Chen, can you provide an office, I have something to talk to Mr. Shen about alone." ”
"Mr. Shen, after the conversation just now, I have basically trusted your parasitic chlorophyll technology, but I hope to talk to your Shiba dog and the old gentleman after the operation just now to further confirm." Andrew organized his own language, thinking about how to convince Shen Huai, "I have special research funds in Nature magazine, and these funds are to support researchers and scientists who have technology and dare to innovate, I think you deserve it!" ”
Without waiting for Shen Huai to answer, Andrew looked directly at Shen Huai and continued: "I am the editor-in-chief of Nature Biotechnology, and within my authority, I have a share of the biological research part of the fund, with a total of 10 million US dollars, which can be provided to you for in-depth research and mass production of chloroplast proteins!" ”
$10 million?
Shen Huai's heart jumped suddenly, and he was worried that he had no money, so someone really sent it to the door.
The money he has seen since he was a child has not exceeded 100,000 RMB, that is, less than 20,000 US dollars, and this time it is more than 20,000 US dollars, and it is impossible not to be excited.
But Shen Huai was silent on the surface, because he knew very well that the value of parasitic chlorophyll was far more than just $10 million.
Shen Huai got up and picked up the kettle and mixed some water for Andrew, while observing Andrew's expression, this British gentleman was sweating slightly on his forehead, but the temperature in the room was not high.
Shen Huai returned to his seat and smiled, he was very direct and clear, "Dr. Andrew, tell me about your conditions." ”
Andrew still knows something about the countries of the Far East, and he pays attention to tactfulness in speaking and doing things here, he didn't expect Shen Huai to be so direct, so that it is easier to talk a lot, and compiling pale kind words is not his strong point.
"Mr. Shen, if you transfer this technology to the Nature Foundation, you will immediately receive the $10 million research fund." Andrew thinks that he has seen through Shen Huai's bottom line, this young man in the East will definitely be deterred by 10 million US dollars, and getting rich overnight can make this young man have a very rich life without making any effort in his life.
"Hahaha." Shen Huai suddenly smiled presumptuously, "Dr. Andrew, I don't think there is any possibility for us to continue talking about this topic, 10 million US dollars is indeed a lot, but I can't buy the technology of parasitic chlorophyllin." Thank you Nature for your appreciation of my paper, and we'll see you soon! ”
Shen Huai stretched out his hand and looked at Andrew with a smile, seeing that Andrew was stunned and didn't stretch out his hand, Shen Huai shrugged his shoulders and didn't give him any chance, reincarnated and left.
"Wait! Mr. Shen! Let's discuss again! The sweat on Andrew's forehead couldn't stop flowing, of course he knew the value of parasitic chlorophyllin, there are tens of millions of lung disease patients in the world, and these people will be the consumer group of this technology in the future, and this value is not 10 million dollars that can be measured.
Shen Huai turned around and smiled charmingly.
Andrew's brewing emotions were disturbed by the young man, and he couldn't see through what the young man was thinking.
"Mr. Shen, what is your opinion?"
Shen Huai stretched out his right index finger, "100 million US dollars, 100 million US dollars provided by the Natural Fund, with 50% of the income of this technology." ”
"What!" Andrew thinks this oriental man is a madman, and he asks for $100 million when he reaches out! Even if the amount of money available for the entire year is not $100 million, this man is a madman!
Shen Huai shrugged and said, "Dr. Andrew, I'm in Jiangcheng, you can contact me at any time after you think it through." Throwing down these words, Shen Huai left the office.
Shen Huai, who walked out of the company, already felt that his back was soaked with sweat, and his heart and liver were pounding.
Principal Chen, Zhang Ming and others were waiting outside, they obviously heard the conversation inside, the Natural Fund wants to invest in this technology, what 10 million US dollars, what 100 million US dollars, everyone was stunned in horror, such an amount of money, the two of them said as if they were playing.
Chen Houde came back to his senses and chased after Shen Huai to talk about not dropping out of school, but who knew that Shen Huai ignored him and had already disappeared.
When Shen Huai returned home, he took off his sweaty clothes and accompanied Zhang Linshan on the balcony to bask in the sun to promote photosynthesis.
Oh, my God! What can you do with $10 million! You can buy the entire house that Shen Huai is renting now!
Zhang Linshan slowly turned his head a little mechanically, revealing a kind smile, "Xiao Shen, it's time to water." ”
Shen Huai ignored him, crying with a sad face: "It's still wet, don't call me yet, let me cry for a while." ”
"Xiao Shen is disobedient, it's useless to live when people are old, it's useless......" Zhang Linshan had enough of the sun, and walked into the room slowly with a stick.
After Zhang Linshan recovered, his behavior has become more and more bizarre recently, often saying inexplicable things, and his actions are getting slower and slower.
Shen Huai suddenly realized that his situation was the same as that of the old man in his twilight, either he would use parasitic chlorophyll to change his current situation, or he would sit and wait for death, Shen Huai decided that he could no longer sit still!
