Chapter 437: Medical Complex

After inspecting three of his companies in San Diego.

Abel didn't leave San Diego.

He even stayed here for one night.

Compared with San Francisco and Los Angeles, which are basically controlled by a California consortium, San Diego, which started late, is because it is the United States. The reason for the important base of the army.

The Texas consortium is here, and it also has some influence.

But it doesn't matter anymore, with about 1/2 of the electricity supply in the whole of California, 3/4 of the gas supply goes to Abel.

Add to that Abel's influence in Silicon Valley.

Today, Abel has a similar influence in California as he did in New York.

California – Texas – New York, the three regions that unite the United States, are the most influential places in Abel.

The next day, Abel reappeared at the headquarters of a company in San Diego.

The company's stock price was also affected during the post-911 crash in the U.S. stock market after 911 last year.

Because of its particularity, it has also become one of the more than 200 listed companies that Abel rescued the market.

“…… Growth hormone is a great product that has saved many children from the doom of never growing tall. It was like an angel coming down to these children, and their families, to bring them the gospel. ”

Santiago.

In the headquarters of the American Genetic Engineering Technology Company.

Abel and the company's chairman, Arthur Levinson, laughed as they browsed the company's patent wall, modeled after Qualcomm, and praised the bio-genomics pharmaceutical company.

Genome Engineering Technologies, Inc. (Genentech) for short.

It is a biotechnology company founded in the 70s by venture capitalist Robert Swanson and biochemist Dr. Herbert Boyer.

It is considered the founder of the biotechnology industry, and is one of the thousands of pharmaceutical companies in San Diego, relatively good, but not outstanding.

It was listed on the NASDAQ back in 1980. After the 90s, he also transferred his shares to the New York Stock Exchange, which has a larger market.

After 911, Abel bought 11.9% of its shares while bailing out the market.

Later, it successively acquired many of its shares, accounting for 35%.

He is currently the largest shareholder in Genentech.

"Fight for the health of mankind for a lifetime!"

Standing beside Abel, Genentech's chairman, Arthur Levinson, smiled and said respectfully:

It's Genentech's corporate slogan, but it's not just a slogan. At the same time, this is also the biggest goal that everyone who works at Genentech strives for! Growth hormone is just one of our contributions to humanity. ”

The growth hormone that the two are talking about is a secondary growth hormone produced by Genentech for young children with growth defects, and it is a treatment for dwarfism.

It was also Genentech's first successful product.

It was with this product that Genentech was successfully launched.

A drug, let a pharmaceutical company boss. In the United States, this kind of thing is commonplace.

The medical complex, which is one of the five major mountains of the United States, as long as it is done well, the dollar money is really big.

"It's based on trust in Genentech."

Abel smiled and said, "So in San Diego, I didn't go to Pfizer, Novartis, Amgen, these giants, but came to Genentech, and that's why." ”

As one of the world's most dynamic and innovative biopharmaceutical industry clusters, the San Diego area is home to more than 1,000 biomedical technology companies and more than 80 related scientific research institutions.

Genentech is excellent here, but it's not very impressive.

There are several companies of similar size and technology in San Diego.

And it happens to have good scientific research strength in genetics and biopharmaceuticals.

More importantly, compared with other pharmaceutical companies.

It already has more than 35% of the shares, which are owned by Abel.

Since June last year, Abel has established two medical research institutes in Houston, Texas.

They are based in Houston and are researching the convenience of human longevity and related aspects of medical technology.

This is a medical research institute founded by Abel for himself and his family.

Abel's practice can be regarded as very common in the United States.

Bill Gates, as well known to Chinese people, announced the establishment of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation two years ago.

This foundation, in addition to providing Bill Gates with tax shelter to avoid losing most of his fortune in the future by the U.S. government's horrific estate tax.

More of its money is invested in drugs and medical research.

Externally, Bill Gates claimed that he himself did this for the benefit of mankind and to overcome those terrible diseases for mankind.

In fact, most of Bill Gates's fund, most of the money, is also invested in longevity medicine.

In parallel time and space, Bill Gates later accepted donations from Xiao Mazi and many other wealthy people.

Hundreds of billions of dollars, added up to do research.

No one believes that these rich people give so much money to Bill Gates just to develop a few cures for diseases.

The key is that they have been engaged in more than ten years, but the number of drugs produced is very small, and the input is not output.

At that time, Bill Gates said that the fund's research direction had only been adhered to for 30 years.

The fund will be closed after 30 years.

At the time of these words, Bill Gates was almost 60 years old.

60 years old plus 30, almost 90 years old.

At that time, if you don't study it again, you can't get too good results.

Bill Gates's lifespan is almost exhausted.

And now, the medical research institute established by Abel is basically similar to the purpose of Bill Gates.

One of the purposes of his visit to Genentech today is to recruit some talent for his medical research facility in Houston.

Of course, at the same time, he began to pay attention to the performance of the pharmaceutical industry.

In the United States, the medical complex is a terrible one, and even does not lose to the energy complex, the military. The behemoth of the industrial complex.

It is a large vested interest group that includes pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, medical institutions, and even insurance companies.

In 2001, Americans, who accounted for 4.68 per cent of the world's population, consumed 46.7 per cent of the world's health resources and spent $4,873 per capita on health.

Total health spending was $1.56 trillion, accounting for about 14% of the U.S. GDP that year.

If you look at this number alone, if you think of the U.S. healthcare industry as a country, it would be the fifth-largest economy in the world......

The reason why Kennedy was so brainy back then was because he wanted to reform the U.S. health care system.

The reform he wants to carry out is not the reform that is beneficial to the medical giants like Xiaoao later, but the medical insurance reform that is really beneficial to the people.

In that era of confrontation, Kennedy may not have done this for the benefit of the people, but to strengthen the national power of the United States.

But in doing so, he obviously hurt the interests of many medical giants.

The follow-up result was that he happily went to ride in a convertible, and his mind was open when he was happy.

From Abel's eyes, there are five mountains on the heads of ordinary Americans.

The first big mountain is the army. Industrial complexes.

The second mountain is the medical complex.

The third mountain is a legal complex with lawyers at its core.

The fourth mountain, the Wall Street financial complex.

The fifth mountain, the educational-media complex.

Among the five mountains, Abel has already secured the top position of two of them, crushing the Americans below.

He is now considering whether he can sit on the top of the other three mountains.

That will make his position in the United States more stable.

Anyway, Americans, from the past to the future, will always be infinitely vertically cut.

There are also other backward areas where the productive forces can be exploited.

It can be said that the country in the world is least worried about bottom-up reform or resistance.

Then he is still afraid of an egg, of course, he can press as hard as he can.

At the same time as the establishment of a medical research institute.

Abel's acquisition of so many shares in Genentech is based on this purpose.

It's just that at this time, in order to avoid making giants such as Pfizer, Novartis, and Amgen vigilant in advance.

Abel just stayed at Genentech's headquarters for just over an hour before leaving, just like he did with other companies in which he had a stake.

Later, he even went to Pfizer and Amgen's branch in San Diego and took a look.

Although headquartered in New York, Pfizer, the cosmic superpharmaceutical giant, also has a significant presence in San Diego.

Many medical giants also have branches here.

In fact, San Diego is not the No. 1 gathering place for pharmaceutical giants in the United States.

The Boston/Massachusetts Cambridge area is the largest biopharmaceutical cluster in the United States.

Kendall Square there is known as the "Wall Street" of the global pharmaceutical industry.

There are more than 2,000 scientific research institutions and companies from the global life sciences field, such as AstraZeneca, Thermo Fisher, Novartis, Pfizer and other giants.

It ranks first among the top five job seekers in the life sciences industry in the United States and is known as the "Gene City."

But Abel wasn't going to go there to seek their scientific talents.

The reason is simple, because those places are the nests of behemoths such as Mahogon and Rockphil......

Then again, there is an interesting phenomenon in the medical complex in the United States.

That's one of the top 10 medical industry clusters in the United States, excluding two or three places such as San Diego.

The rest of the places are all the most influential places in the top ten conglomerates in the United States.

Like the old East Coast consortium of Boston/Cambridge, Massachusetts, and the California consortium of the San Francisco Bay Area......

Abel was very pleased with this.

He knew that this was a manifestation of everyone's fear of death as the elders of the consortium.

It's not that he is the only one who is afraid of death, it's that everyone is afraid of death......

When I was about to leave Genentech.

The chairman of the company, Arthur Levinson, said cryptically.

Within a few years, the company may have to relocate to the San Francisco Bay Area.

Because there is a promise that it will provide free venues, and there is also a considerable amount of tax exemption.

Obviously, this is what certain old guys inside the California consortium mean.

To this, Abel's reaction was more direct.

"If you're thinking about a venue or tax exemption, maybe you can choose Texas."

"I promise that both Houston and Tarrant will be able to offer more free land and better tax exemptions than San Francisco," he said. ”

Faced with Abel's statement, Arthur Levinson was a little stunned.

Before Arthur Levinson could speak, Able had already left Genentech.

On the way to San Diego International Airport.

Abel said directly to David in the front passenger seat:

"Let the two laboratories of Adam and Eve start openly recruiting researchers. Pay attention to the screening, even if there will be spies or spies mixed in, it must be agents and spies that are useful for research. ”

Adam and Eve, respectively, are the names of two medical institutions established by Abel in Houston and Tarrant County.

The two laboratories are both focused on longevity or longevity.

They were formed last year, and the first researchers were locally recruited researchers in Houston.

However, Houston has the best clinical research technology in the United States, if not the world.

However, the biological genetic research on longevity can only be said to be relatively ordinary.

In order to conduct research in this area, it is necessary to recruit researchers from other regions to strengthen the scientific research capabilities of the two medical institutions.

For these two medical research rooms, Abel was still hiding them before.

Now that he has gone to Genentech, Abel believes that the information about this matter will soon be sent to the eucalyptus tables of major pharmaceutical giants and even consortium giants.

In order to avoid making these guys, find themselves coveting the medical complex.

He simply exposed his two research laboratories to them in advance.

Yes, that's right. Even if he is Abel Smith, who is still less than 22 years old, he is the youngest core figure of the consortium in the United States.

But he is afraid of death, he just wants to live forever, and he wants to live a long life!

He's not afraid to let others know about it.

Anyway, most of the consortia are willing to invest in this research.

After all, 99.9% of the guys who control these consortia are old guys.

They actually want to make a breakthrough in this area more than Abel.

Exposing this "fear of death", Abel also wanted to see if he could use it to hide his ambitions in the medical complex.

It's best to be able to cover it up, and if you can't hide it, it's not a loss if you can delay it for a while.

David was in the passenger seat, nodding yes.

Since then, Adam and Eve's two medical research institutions have officially entered the eyes of many Americans.

Externally, like the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, it is a high-end laboratory responsible for research in the field of medical and health care under the newly established Smith Fund.

There are two more on the list of many longevity medical research institutions in the United States.

The difference is that it belongs to Abel Smith and belongs to the Smith family.

In other respects, everyone is the same, everyone knows it.

Leaving San Diego, Abel returned to Los Angeles and stayed on Beverly Hills for a few more days.

For a few days, he was mainly messing with Nicole Kidman and a number of Angels of Yinsha who came to Los Angeles to work.

Jessica and Anne are both based in Los Angeles, but because of filming, they have not been in Los Angeles recently.

Anne is in New York, filming "Spider-Man". Because of the success of the first part, this time MGM Pictures Group chose to shoot the second and third films in a row.

Naturally, the filming work is harder and longer than last year.

As for Jessica, she has been the heroine of many A+-level investment Hollywood movies in a row.

She is now one of the most popular young American actors, more popular than Anne.

After all, no matter what you say, the core of "Spider-Man" will always be the "failed man".

The heroine is mainly used to show the beauty, pretty, and at the same time set off the vase of the most civilian superhero, Spider-Man Parker.

This makes it difficult for Anne to be more popular with fans than Maguire.

Unlike Jessica, the movies she starred in, as the heroine, are not much less than the male lead.

There are many scenes, and the director is more eccentric, then she will naturally be more eye-catching.

On March 20, Abel was at Los Angeles International Airport and boarded a plane to Asia.

Before boarding the plane, he received a report from the rock security staff.

That is, with Cate Blanchett, who lives in the mansion at 10410 Bellagio Road in Beverly Hills, Tuao Big White Ries, who has been detected as having "won the bid".

Another name is already expected to be added to the list of Smith ethnic groups.

After a dozen hours of flight time.

Time difference, Asia time, on the afternoon of March 20.

Hankook, the first Incheon International Airport.

A beautiful and slender Boeing 747 wide-body passenger plane with an overall white body landed slowly on the second runway of Incheon International Airport.

When the engine goes out, Abel's figure appears after Edward.

Under the plane, privileges were used to enter the interior of the airport through special channels.

Li Fuzhen, who already has a big belly and is about to enter the due date in a month.

After seeing Abel's appearance, a happy smile appeared on her beautiful face, which was much rounder.

"Mmmm......mmmm

Half an hour later.

Depart Incheon International Airport and head to the center of Soul.

In the middle of a convoy of Cadillacs, in the carriage of the Cadillac monster that was specially transported.

Finally, Li Fuzhen was finally let go.

"It tastes better."

Looking at the eldest princess of the Samsvng Group, Abel said with satisfaction.

Li Fuzhen glanced at him coquettishly, and said softly:

"So rude, I'm not afraid to hurt the child......"

"It's fine. I have experience and generally nothing is a problem. It just can't be that kind of ....... ”

Abel said with experience.

In Santa Barbara, California, Kana Yin, and Paris, especially Kana Yin, are about the same as Li Fuzhen.

During his stay in California, of course, Abel also visited the mother of these two future children.

has a lot of experience, so Able can be said to be very clear about this aspect.

What else can Li Fuzhen say?

Born in the Samsvng Li family, she came out of the intrigue within the Han chaebol, which is more cruel than the United States, and she is very clear about her current position.

She knows that she doesn't look at herself in the Han Kingdom, and now she lives a life like the Queen of the First Queen, and even her father, Li Zaixi, the "invisible leader of the Han Kingdom", has to pay great attention to herself.

But the foundation of all this is only based on the man in front of him.

It doesn't have much to do with your own ability.

So in the face of Abel, who is not only his benefactor's backer, but also his man, and at the same time the father of his own children, Li Fuzhen has always been supple and supple.

When she faced Abel, she was like Han Guo was facing America......

After holding the pregnancy, the body is more plump, which can be described as a round and jade Li Fuzhen, and Abel chats with her from time to time about the situation of Hanguo or Shouyi.

The main thing is that Li Fuzhen is talking and Abel is listening.

Most of them are Li Fuzhen's "careers" in Hanguo during this time.

That is, what she did here in the name of Abel's agent.
