Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Yellow Sparrow Follows (Part I)
It is not easy to avoid the sight of these people, they are like kraft candy, they can't shake off. Thinking about it, there is no good way, those employees at the bottom at most let them know some ordinary trade secrets is the limit, want to participate in this kind of thing, really can't find a person who can be fully trusted, this research thing can only be delayed a little longer, now this technology has just appeared, it is the time when it is full of attention, and the people who want to get it will not even let go of the clues that are exposed.
Anyway, looking at their negotiation posture, it is impossible to reach an agreement without three or five years. Jiang Minghong looked at a news item that was playing on TV: "The two marches clashed fiercely in front of the White House because a team of researchers from several charities and medical institutions, including some family members of patients, advocated that the government should announce the newly discovered biomedical technology and cancel the patent protection, so as to benefit all mankind and reduce the current high medical costs; On the other hand, there are well-known ethicists and other members of society who have been staunchly opposed to all cloning and oppose the spread of this biotechnology. The two sides met at the end of the parade, under different banners, and at the beginning there was a serious verbal argument, and with the intensity of the argument, the two sides began to move, and soon after the fight, the police and garrison who rushed to the scene tried to separate the two sides in order to stop the conflict, but they were also beaten by the excited crowd, and the scene was chaotic, because there were many well-known people in the procession, the military and police could not use conventional means to disperse the crowd, and could only mobilize more people to stop the spread of this conflict. ”
While watching TV, Jiang Minghong picked up a newspaper with a special section on it to land the comments of all parties. It can be seen that those who believe that the technology should be published and that patent protection should be withdrawn prevail and that those who use it for research on various diseases have the upper hand, and that those who oppose cloning can only argue for restrictions to prevent the risk of misuse, rather than opposing all forms of cloning as they had done in the past.
Similar reports and controversies are everywhere these days, but they reflect the same sentiments as in the news just now. It seems that the impact of this technology is really a bit unexpected, and even today's more realistic and rational Americans are so excited. If you think about the current situation in the United States, it is completely understandable, although the United States has a set of organ transplantation systems that are considered to be the most advanced in the world, responsible for organ procurement and matching selection of recipients throughout the United States, which can meet the needs of most patients in need of organ transplantation. However, a very objective and unavoidable fact is that the survival rate of patients after receiving organ transplantation is not optimistic, and within one year after surgery, the mortality rate of kidney transplantation is the lowest, about 3%, while the mortality rate of heart-lung transplantation is close to half. And as the number of years increases, the mortality rate will get higher and higher. Among the various organ transplants, the longest survival is kidney transplantation, which continues to survive for 41 years, and the longest for a short type such as a small intestine transplant is only about 11 years. In a word, even if you have received a suitable organ transplant, it is very difficult to have the same health and longevity as a normal person. This is because in the United States, where medical insurance, personal insurance, and social welfare are relatively well-developed, the cost of organ transplantation is relatively not too much of a barrier, and other countries have far fewer patients who have a suitable organ transplant and can afford it.
It is no wonder that the emergence of cloning technology, which has the potential to completely disrupt this medical status quo, can immediately overpower many voices against cloning.
After all, people are real animals, Jiang Minghong sighed, in the face of real benefits, how many people will be able to see how much risk it has, thinking that this kind of organ transplant service will soon be extended to the whole world, even if the United States will not easily leak the technology, there is no way to prohibit the provision of organ culture services to other countries.
The owner of this patent, the old fox Grandrent, has really earned it, Jiang Minghong is a little unhappy, but he is helpless, but the boss will definitely not watch the loss of such a large market, although the technology cannot be re-developed by himself for a while.
Jiang Minghong was somewhat surprised that after listening to his report on the current situation in the outside world during this time, the boss did not let him take any action, but ordered him to pay more attention to those who were monitoring him, grasp the whereabouts of those people and find out the specific person in charge.
After listening to this order, Jiang Minghong had a big head, this is not a simple job, the group of people trained by his subordinates don't know if they can do it, forget it, they can only let them do it, and then offer heavy rewards to those organizations to ensure that nothing goes wrong, according to the boss's tone, this matter is very important.
Those organizations were some of the underground forces that worked for the rich and the upper echelons, and their service methods were privately given to Jiang Minghong when he was attending a high-level club event in New York. One of their terms of service is that they don't accept business that could provoke official hostility, and it's unknown how many organizations are willing to comply. Related to this high-level club, the club has a public account for the deposits transferred by the various principals, as well as providing assignments to these organizations. Of course, these services can only be enjoyed with a costly membership card, and this club is also known as the "Billionaires Club", which has a history of nearly 100 years. Of course, the confidentiality of the client must be perfect, otherwise no one will buy their account, and the club will not be able to continue for a long time.
Jiang Minghong, who is worth more than 10 billion yuan, has naturally obtained this qualification, and he can do some things that he usually feels tricky.
"Bill, there's another commission, and the final reward is 10 million!" A man working in front of a laptop said with a little excitement.
"10 million? Even billionaires don't have a lot to do with it. The man known as Bill replied that although some billionaires have donated tens or even tens of billions of dollars to charity in recent years, it is a formal investment or business, and there is a big difference between it and private commissioning.
"Although the amount is not as high as those commissioned a few days ago, the difficulty is completely different." The man continued, and Bill was behind him by this time.
"It's really not too difficult, it turns out that I want to check the movements of a group of people, is it that someone is jealous of this rich man and wants to kidnap or rob?" The commission is not very clear, but in accordance with the regulations of the commission, the detailed mission objectives and other circumstances are still indicated.
How to publish the commission here is also a very delicate matter, at least it is not possible to reveal who you are in the commission or the specific existence of the principal is discovered by the executor in the process of the task. Therefore, there is a very small part of the club dedicated to this commission, which can be carefully crafted according to the general requirements of the members to ensure their privacy.
A few days ago, there were a few commissions that were much higher than this, the highest reaching $300 million, but it was a difficult time to obtain the hottest biotechnology at the moment. Moreover, those commissions were also sent through other channels, and the credibility was very different from that of the issuing unit of this commission. Judging by the publisher's code, it should be the club that has posted countless similar quests. The club's mission has always been their favourite in their profession, because there is no such thing as defaulting on debts or betraying either of them, which is the most taboo thing for a secret organization of their kind, and many of the commissions are traps or no remuneration at all when they are completed.
This club has a special record code for the organization that completes their task, and every time it is completed, there will be a corresponding reputation score, this point is not symbolic, it has an important role, every time a delegation is issued, there is a budget, and every organization that has a record with them takes this commission, and will get a sum of money that can be counted as action funds according to the different points. Of course, don't think about taking it in vain, if you don't have any results, a considerable part of the points will be deducted, basically three times for nothing, and no matter how high the previous reputation score is, it will be zero. Conversely, even if some organizations fail to achieve all the tasks, the budget will not be recovered, and even if there is no final reward, the points can be increased to a certain extent, which means that more budget can be obtained next time. If you reach a certain level of points, you can get additional rewards every six months. Of course, these tasks are also graded according to different rewards, and they can only be followed when the reputation score reaches a certain level, and there will be no grabbing. Of course, there will be some clients who think that the difficulty is relatively high, and there is a situation where the remuneration is relatively high, although there are people from the club who are correcting, but generally speaking, it is not low, and the remuneration is low, they will raise the situation that there may be no one to pick up the customer, and if it is high, as long as it is not outrageous, it will generally not be reminded.
To put it bluntly, it is this club that is raising a group of underground forces in disguise, and without this regulation, it is not a good thing for many organizations to dissolve if they often fail to complete their tasks. After all, many things involve all aspects and need to be completed by organizations with different characteristics and different ways of behaving. As for how this club identifies these organizations, as well as their contact details and payment methods, there is naturally a well-established system.
Therefore, this club has a vague underground monopolist posture, but they never interfere in the operation and internal situation of these organizations, and no one cares about this so-called monopoly.
Therefore, this mission is not difficult for Bill and his companions, but it is undoubtedly a happy event to be able to get a huge reward of 10 million.
"If we can do this alone, we can wash our hands, and it's not bad to immigrate to other countries and become millionaires." Bill analyzed it and determined that this was not too difficult to complete, of course, the difficulty and risk still existed, and it was still very big for ordinary people. But compared to the stealing of technology, the difficulty is much lower. Stealing technology, even if it succeeds, will become the target of public criticism, and it is uncertain whether you can get paid or not. This task, as long as you find the origin of those people, track their recent actions, and find out their purpose, for the side of yourself who is proficient in the Internet and has superhuman mobility, it is possible that it will be successfully completed without being discovered by the other party. If you can't complete it, you can also have your own way to get out safely, and you won't die because of failure. That's the most important thing. Stealing technology, the opponent is well defended and strong, and even getting out is a problem.
It doesn't matter if the mission can't be completed, the premise is that they can't die, this is the survival of their underground organization. If they had to pay for their lives every mission, they would have to break up after completing them a few times at most. They are not some big organizations, and they have a well-established reserve personnel training system.
Bill thought about it, but gathered the remaining 5 people, put those small tasks aside for the time being, and did this task first. Even if it can't be completed first this time, according to the rules of their club, as long as the task is completed, if there is more than one, the first one can enjoy sixty percent of the remuneration, and the rest will be divided equally regardless of the priority. In addition, the number of points can be increased according to the ranking and completion.
"Soko, send a secret email to the others and ask them to meet at the new location in three days." Bill gave Soko the location and code.
