After a night in Angela's guest room, at about eight o'clock the next day, Lu Li got up early, washed up briefly, took his suitcase and left, didn't even have time to eat, and took a taxi directly to the door of the building, which was only three blocks away from the Miami Police Department.

In fact, it's also part of the southeast corner of Biscayne Bay, so close to his home, it's one of the safest business and tourist areas in all of Miami.

Of course, in the United States, good security means that land is expensive.

Although he doesn't yet know how much it costs to rent a floor in such a commercial building, tens of thousands of dollars a month must be indispensable, otherwise even the property tax will not be enough.

Handing the taxi driver a hundred-yuan bill, Lu Li walked straight towards the entrance with his suitcase.

But before he could take a few steps, a group of more than a dozen people suddenly rushed over with signs and surrounded him, shouting jumbled slogans, some in English, some in Spanish, and the chaos was a mess, especially a few children, who looked to be less than ten years old.

Fortunately, these people were limited to shouting slogans, and had no intention of ramming or attacking, otherwise they would soon realize how terrifying the people they had provoked.

Just when Lu Li looked confused and wanted to figure out what was going on, Jonathan led four or five strong security guards to run out, tried his best to push these dozen people away, and said breathlessly: "Sorry, boss, the elevator in the morning is a little crowded, I'm late, are you okay?"

"Of course I'm fine, but what's the matter with those people? I see that there are quite a few children inside?" Lu Li asked with a frown.

Although his English is not bad, and he can barely read and write fluently in Spanish, the situation just now is so confusing, and the letters on those signs are piled together, and there is not even a space, which is really difficult to distinguish.

Jonathan turned around, glanced at the emotional crowd, and replied in a low voice, "These are the parents and relatives of the patients who ate the Golden Fruit last time. I've heard that after a week or so, some patients are starting to get worse and worse, and the antibodies are slowly disappearing, and in a few days they will be the same again. The reason why they gathered at the door was actually to put pressure on us to get another fruit. ”

"I see......" Lu Li nodded thoughtfully.

Staying alive is one of the most basic human instincts, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope to live, basically no one wants to die.

But he had already left the matter to the lawyer to settle the matter, so he didn't plan to intervene himself, and entered the building under the escort of the security guard, and took the elevator to the eighteenth floor.

You don't have to ask to know that the reason for renting this floor is 100% of the time Jonathan deliberately selected.

He looked up a lot of relevant preferences about Chinese people on the Internet, understood the auspicious meaning of numbers such as eight and eighteen, and even placed a few snow iron taro plants around the front desk, which is often called a money tree by Chinese people.

If the front desk lady is not a blonde white man, and the company name is also in English, Lu Li has the illusion of being in a domestic commercial office building......

Ignoring the courteous smile of the front desk lady, the two quickly walked down the hallway to a bulletproof door guarded by four armed security guards.

Jonathan pulled out his key card and swiped it on the door, and the electronic door clicked open, revealing a busy scene inside.

I saw a dozen people in white coats with blue hoods on their heads, busy in front of strange instruments.

Each of them wore rubber gloves on their hands, white masks on their mouths, goggles on their eyes, and they were armed to the teeth, and some of them looked to be in their sixties and seventies, carefully operating a microscope to examine the samples.

Just when Lu Li just wanted to ask who these people were in front of him, an old man raised his head and saw the two people standing at the door, hurriedly put down the work at hand, took off his mask and gloves, and walked over quickly and greeted excitedly: "Good morning, Mr. Lu, after so many days, I finally see you in person." My name is Blossham Hardy and I'm a tenured professor at the University of Miami School of Medicine. ”

"Hello, Professor. Lu Li politely shook hands with the other party.

Although he didn't know much about the American education system, he also knew how difficult it was to become a tenured professor at an Ivy League university, and the old man in front of him was definitely an academic winner or someone who had made important contributions in some way.

"Boss, the University of Miami School of Medicine wants to sign a cooperation agreement with our company, and they will pay for the money, people, and equipment to study the medical use and medicinal value of the fruit, and all the results are extremely derivative of patents, and we account for 70 percent, and they account for 30 percent, but ask for the right of authorship. Jonathan saw the confusion in Lu Li's eyes, and immediately explained in a low voice.

The old man who called himself Brotham didn't care about Jonathan's whispering, and said straight to the point: "Regarding the cooperation agreement, it is a matter between you and the school council, and I am not interested in it at all.

I'm interested in academics, new research directions.

There is no doubt that this is a miracle plant, it has a very obvious therapeutic effect on most of the diseases known at present, although it cannot be eradicated, it can control the disease within a certain range, as long as you continue to take it, it will never worsen.

Its existence is like a gift from God to mankind! It is a miracle in the history of medicine!

After a few days of research, we found that there was no sign of artificial intervention in the genes of those golden sea buckthorn fruits!

That is, it is naturally varied and does not belong to any of the currently known subspecies of sea buckthorn fruit trees!

Can you tell me exactly where you found it?

In addition, I would like your permission to allow us to study and observe the plant itself, and to try small-scale soilless cultivation.

The sooner this plant is brought to the market, the sooner patients will be able to stay away from the disease, which is a good thing for humanity as a whole.

Don't worry about confidentiality, everyone in this lab is willing to sign a strict confidentiality agreement, which will never harm your company's business interests. ”

Faced with a series of requests made by the old man, Lu Li shook his head with a smile and refused: "I'm sorry, Mr. Professor, I admire your selfless fraternity very much, but I can't agree to your request. The reason is very simple, this plant grows under extremely harsh conditions, and it is simply impossible to cultivate it on a large scale with our current level of technology. If you don't believe me, you can try planting them yourself from seeds, and I guarantee that no matter what method you use, they will never germinate. ”

"So you're allowing me to experiment with soilless cultivation?"

But anyone who conducts scientific research is more or less unbelieving, and Blossomham is no exception.

He felt that with the current level of biotechnology, it would not be a problem for a plant to germinate, and he did not realize that his golden sea buckthorn fruit was not a plant on the earth at all, and without the watering of magical blood, it would remain dormant, even after 10,000 years......
