Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Leader of Science and Technology
On TV, one of the pieces of news that was being reported was a homicide case that occurred at the Shawan Pier in Hong Kong. The reporter who reported the news revealed the identity of the victim, who was Brother Quan, the boss of the Hong Kong community, and some of his thugs. The entire murder scene was extremely bloody, and the state of death was very strange, and the docks were full of blood and broken internal organs. However, the footage that appeared on the TV screen was marked with a mosaic, otherwise the TV station would have been sued by human rights organizations in court if it was so blatantly released.
The reporter who reported the news then interviewed a police inspector, but unfortunately the police inspector was full of words without comment. However, from his pale face, one could not help but wonder what terrible things had happened at this murder scene, so that even the well-informed police inspector turned pale.
"We don't know what's really going on behind this case, maybe it's a gangster vendetta, maybe something else. However, as a Hong Kong citizen, we, the press authorities, were able to crack the case as soon as possible, take measures, and restore Hong Kong to a prosperous situation. The reporter concluded.
Liu Hui turned off the TV with a "snap", it seems that the Hong Kong police have not found anything valuable at the scene, and it should not involve him in a short period of time.
"Boss, here's your tea!" Hu Xian'er appeared in front of Liu Hui at the right time and brought over a cup of hot tea, which was the kind of tea she specially prepared for Liu Hui.
"Xian'er, thank you!" Liu Hui picked up the tea, took a sip, and said with satisfaction, the feeling of overflowing fragrance made him very comfortable.
"Boss, can I ask you a question?" Hu Xian'er saw that Liu Hui was in a good mood and asked.
"Hehe, you ask!" Liu Hui said with a smile.
"Boss, do you know how to draw?"
"Drawing? Do comics count? Liu Hui asked curiously.
"Cartoons don't count, of course. I mean, do you know how to paint Huaxia paintings, the kind that you draw with a brush? Hu Xian'er looked at Liu Hui expectantly.
"Drawing with a brush, this one definitely won't, because I haven't learned it yet! I practiced calligraphy for a while. Liu Hui said.
"Boss, if you think about it carefully, it's the kind of painting animals with a brush and drawing portraits of people!" Hu Xian'er didn't give up and asked.
"Xian'er, I really don't know what you're talking about, I really can't draw animal and character portraits except for comics." Liu Hui smiled bitterly.
"Oh, that's right." Hu Xian'er looked very disappointed.
"Xian'er, why are you asking this?" Liu Hui asked curiously.
"Oh, nothing, nothing. Boss, I'll go out to work if it's okay. Hu Xian'er looked disappointed.
Liu Hui shook his head, he couldn't figure out why Hu Xian'er suddenly asked this, but he didn't have time to guess the girl's thoughts. "Starry Sky Myopia Spirit" will be officially launched in a few days, and now that there are many things, he has no time to think about things at all.
Li Zhi has begun to invest a lot of advertising in TV stations, and all countries and regions except Greater China have started advertising bombardment. With the large number of advertisements for "Starry Sky Myopia", the originally bland advertisement began to attract everyone's attention, and the feedback effect was surprisingly good. With the popularity of advertising, "Starry Sky Myopia Spirit" has successfully detonated consumers' consumption passion, and everyone's consumption passion continues to heat up, just waiting for the product to be launched to buy. Gao Xiaoyao, the cute girl with beautiful eyes in the advertisement, also attracted widespread attention. In short, Liu Hui's first product is ready, and only Dongfeng is owed.
However, Liu Hui also began to be troubled, although he could get countless genetic drugs from Zege, and they could all guarantee rich returns, but he did not establish his own scientific research center. This also led to the rapid development of his Star Group, but it is a serious bias, only biomedical technology but no other high-tech, especially without its own industrial base, which is very unfavorable for his future development. This made Liu Hui very annoyed, in the final analysis, it was a lack of talent, the Star Group seemed to be developing rapidly, but there was no talent he wanted, so he dialed a phone number.
"Hey, Mr. Hou? I'm Liu Hui from Star Group. ”
"Hello, Boss Liu. Why did you call me personally, I don't dare to do it. Mr. Hou said with a smile.
"Mr. Hou, did our group find the technology leader that our group asked your headhunting company to help find last time?" Liu Hui went straight to the point.
"Boss Liu, it's not that our company won't help you find it. It's just that your company's requirements are too high. And now those science and technology leaders are all famous, and the companies they belong to are very strict with them, and they basically can't dig them up. And the time you are asking for is very short, we really can't find the talent to your satisfaction in such a short time! Mr. Hou began to complain.
"Is it impossible for our company to find the right talent in a short period of time?" Liu Hui asked.
"Boss Liu, if the time is too urgent, there is really no way, we have tried our best." Mr. Hou said embarrassedly that as a world-renowned headhunting company, it is very shameless to fail to complete the customer's entrustment.
"But I need this kind of talent very much now, what should I do?" Liu Hui said helplessly.
Mr. Hou couldn't help it, but suddenly a bright light flashed in his heart, and said: "Boss Liu, in fact, we have also found a talent that is more suitable for you, but ......"
"But what?" Liu Hui was in high spirits when he heard this.
"That talent is just too old." Mr. Hou said that he himself felt that what he said was ridiculous.
"Oh, are you very old? How big is it? Liu Hui asked.
"He is over 90 years old, and he used to be the old director of the Huaxia Shipbuilding Research Institute, but he has been retired for more than 20 years. After he retired, he went to Hong Kong to join his daughter and son-in-law, but two years ago, his daughter and son-in-law's family all died in a car accident, leaving him alone, and now living in a nursing home. Mr. Hou thought for a moment and told the old man about the situation.
"Are you in your nineties? So how is his mind now, can he still think about problems? Liu Hui asked.
"When he was still at the Ship Research Institute, he was the academic leader there. Although his research was not very prominent among those scientists, he had strong management skills, and he easily coordinated which Frankensteins were very good, and he also had a deep friendship with famous scientists in China at that time. And he himself has brought out a lot of students over the decades, which can be regarded as a peach and plum all over the world. Although he is now in his nineties, his mind is still clear and his thinking is very quick. It's just that his body is already very weak, and it is estimated that he will not last for a few years. Boss Liu, you won't really beat his idea, right? Mr. Hou asked in surprise.
"Hehe, of course not. Just listening to you say this, I feel that this person seems to be very powerful, so I asked a few more questions. By the way, this person is living in that old people's home? Liu Hui said with a smile.
"This person's name is Chan Songlin, and he is now in the Mong Kok Old People's Home." Mr. Hou searched for a while before he found the information of this old man named Chen Songlin.
"Hehe, then please continue to help us find this technology leader. I hung up first. Liu Hui said.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on the right person."
Liu Hui ended the call with Mr. Hou, but he was excited. It may not be useful for others to meet this old man. However, for himself, age is not a big problem, and he cares more about his mind and connections. And this old man named Chen Songlin has no problem with his mind, and he is very suitable for his goal.
Last time, Liu Hui consulted Zege about human lifespan, and Zege also clearly told him that after the research of the Zerg, the lifespan of humans can be increased to 240 years old. If this old man is really as good as Mr. Hou said, then he can inject him with life-prolonging drugs, rejuvenate him, and conduct scientific research for himself. Moreover, this old man is still a person who is full of peaches and plums, and he also has a great friendship with the current scientific community in China. The best thing is that this old man is still alone, without the concern of his family and children, and he is the best candidate for himself.
The more Liu Hui thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible, so he quietly came to the basement, opened the plane trader, and contacted Zege. And Zeg soon appeared on the screen.
"Dear Lord Zeg, it's a pleasure to meet you." Liu Hui greeted with a smile.
"Your Excellency Liu Hui, I am also very happy to meet you. Do you have anything to do with me? Zeg asked.
"Oh, that's right, the last time you said you could extend the lifespan of our humans, is it true?" Liu Hui asked.
"That's true, of course." Zeg replied in the affirmative.
"Well, I wonder what you can do to extend the life span of our humans?" Liu Hui asked.
"There are two ways. The first is the direct injection of genetically modified drugs, which directly modify human genes and mutate human genes, which can make human beings reach a lifespan of 240 years. These humans begin to enter their prime at the age of twenty-five, and this prime period will continue until about the age of two hundred and twenty, after which they will begin to officially age. Those who are in the prime of life are genetically modified to extend their prime until they are 220 years old. Those who have already begun to enter the aging period will slowly return to their prime after genetic modification, and will not begin to age again until 220 years later. This genetic modification has no effect on those who are still in their formative years. Zege repeated what he had said to Liu Hui last time.
"And what about the second method?" Liu Hui asked.
"The second method is to directly use energy to repair and transform the body's cells. We use energy directly to stimulate the cells in the body, so that they can be rejuvenated and thus restored to their youthful state. Zeg explained.
"What's the difference between the two methods?" Liu Hui asked.
"The first method takes a long time, and the whole transformation process takes about two years. But the whole change is carried out imperceptibly, it will not seem very abrupt, and the cost is relatively low. The second method is quick and can make a huge difference in the body in a single day. And because we use energy directly to stimulate the body's cells, we are able to precisely control the number of years we can prolong life. For example, if we want to extend the life of the human body by 20 years, then we control the total amount of energy to stimulate the human cells, and the human body will be 20 years younger in one day. It's just that the second method requires a lot of energy, so the cost is relatively high and it seems very abrupt. Zeg explained in detail.
"How much does the two methods cost?" Liu Hui asked again.
"The cost of the first method is the same as the cost of the previous AIDS treatment drug, where one unit of miracle powder can be exchanged for ten points of medicine. The cost of the second method is relatively high, and the prestige cost of extending the life span for one year is one unit of magic powder. ”
"How far apart is the cost of the two methods?" Liu Hui asked suspiciously.
"There is no way to do this, although our genetic technology has reached its peak, but we can't modify the human body at will, these two methods are also the pinnacle of our technology." Zeg said helplessly.
Liu Hui secretly calculated in his heart that compared to a kilogram of drugs in exchange for a year's life, this is actually not expensive, so he asked: "What are the specific products of the two methods you said?" ”
"The first option is a genetic potion, the same as your previous AIDS treatment solution. The second option is to use a large instrument, which is a bit like a bio-healing tank, but the contents are different. Zeg explained.
"Can these two things be produced now?" Liu Hui is most concerned about this issue.
"Of course we can produce it, and we can produce it whenever you need it." Zeg affirmed.
Liu Hui received Zege's affirmative reply before leaving the basement satisfied. In Zeger, he found an idea, using Zeger's potion to bring those old scientists back to life and provide scientific research for his career, only in this way can he achieve his goal in a short time. However, this matter still needs to be planned well, and it must not be leaked out in the slightest. If you let others know that you can extend the life span of human beings, even if you have more strategic partners, you can't guarantee your own safety, and the research institute will become your own belonging, of course, to be studied by others.
Liu Hui found Wu Yuanjia and asked him to quietly arrange that he would go to the Mong Kok Old People's Home later, meet a person named Chen Songlin, and tell Wu Yuanjia that this was a secret mission and could not be known to anyone.
Wu Yuanjia understood and immediately made arrangements, and soon after, an inconspicuous car drove out of the Star Group and headed for Mong Kok.
