Chapter 1082: Raising Pigs with Organization

Cultivating cells is Tang Shun’s forte. He and Li Yingtong are both world-class young stem cell talents, and culturing NK cells is a piece of cake for them.

The experiment is a chain of links. The genetic recombination of K cells is the work of the Genetics Laboratory of Nandu Medical University. After they finished, they sent the NK seed cells to Sanbo Hospital. Using these seed cells, Tang Shun further cultured them. The so-called culture means amplification, allowing these cells to divide exponentially, one becomes two, two becomes four, four becomes eight... and so on, until the number reaches a satisfactory level.

With his eloquence and experience studying abroad, Tang Shun recruited a group of top talents who studied abroad. Now almost all researchers in his laboratory are PhD graduates from top European and American universities.

It is not that domestic universities are not good, but domestic universities started late and are far behind Europe and the United States in basic research, especially in medical and biological basic research. For example, in medicine, we have very few original drugs. Artemisinin is an outstanding representative. Most of the other drugs we encounter are original in Europe and the United States. We are just imitation followers, and sometimes we may not understand the imitation very well. Some pharmaceutical giants in Europe and the United States have won several Nobel Prizes in one company, which shows their strong R&D capabilities. Compared with the R&D capabilities of these pharmaceutical giants, the R&D of our pharmaceutical companies seems very small. Both the R&D willingness and R&D capabilities seem very weak. Therefore, there is a long way to go in this regard. We need to face up to the gap and catch up.

R&D is a systematic project that requires a certain foundation. Talent, money, management and culture are all indispensable. If there is only talent and money but no scientific management, the money will be wasted and the talent will not be able to play a role. If there is a lack of innovative culture, huge investments of money and manpower will be short-lived. Without sustained R&D capabilities, the money will be wasted and the team will eventually have to disband.

Therefore, it is very important to build a complete R&D system. Even if Yang Ping has various resources now, it still takes step by step to build a world-class laboratory. It cannot be achieved overnight.

It takes about 12 days for NK cells to expand. After 12 days, the seed cells can expand to millions of NK cells. At this time, the NK cells have the number required for treatment and can be injected into the human body for treatment.

Professor Zhang Zhiwei is also busy at the virology laboratory of Nandu Medical University. They are continuing to study K virus therapy. Professor Zhang believes that using viruses as vectors for anti-tumor treatment has greater prospects than cell therapy, especially for solid tumors. Viruses can enter tumor cells. With this advantage, any possible embedded factors may be brought into the tumor cells.

Zhang Zhiwei and Tang Shun chose different technology trees. It is still unclear which tree will be the future. Given the sufficient resources, Yang Ping does not want to make a choice and he wants both routes.

The Sanbo Hospital's committee voted to relocate the office building, planning to build prefabricated houses in two corners of the hospital's vacant land, one for administrative staff and one for an animal laboratory. This would free up two buildings, one for expanding the clinical department's beds and one for Yang Ping's laboratory.

Once the resolution was announced, many administrative staff in the hospital were very dissatisfied. As management staff, why should they live in board houses? Moreover, the animal laboratory is also a board house. Doesn't this put them on the same level as pigs? As hospital management staff, they are considered leaders after all. How can they do this?

Young employees were okay with this decision, but older employees in their forties, especially female employees, were most resistant. They had some connections when they joined the company, and they were all regular employees, so they were bolder.

In order to convince the administrative department staff, President Xia held a mobilization meeting to do ideological work for them, explaining why the office building had to be vacated and why everyone had to live in board houses.

After talking for a long time, many administrative staff just didn't get the point and were still very resistant. They criticized this resolution behind the scenes a lot, and Dean Xia directly slammed the table during the meeting.

"Do you really think of yourselves as masters? I'm telling you nicely, but you just won't make sense. I'll say a few harsh words to you. You are managers? What do you manage? I tell you, if all the administrative staff of our hospital, including me, are fired, the operation of the hospital will not be affected at all. Patients will be treated and surgeries will be performed. Maybe the operation will be smoother and the operating cost will be lower. But if you casually fire a doctor, especially an experienced doctor, the work of that department will definitely be affected. If you fire a heavyweight expert, that department will collapse immediately. If you fire a super expert like Yang Ping, Sanbo Hospital will go back to the way it was overnight. Do you think Sanbo Hospital was built by you or by the clinical doctors? You have to correct your attitude. We are waiters, not officials, not leaders, not so-called managers who are high above and give orders. If anyone has this kind of thinking, get out of here as soon as possible. If you go to other hospitals to be a manager or a master who gives orders, you may get a higher salary than a clinical doctor. This is not the norm in Sanbo Hospital."

Dean Xia's temper is just like this. He will use courtesy first and force later. He still can't convince you guys. You are used to eating free meals and really think you are the masters.

"Well, since everyone is opposed to relocation, we also have an alternative plan." Dean Xia's tone softened after he finished scolding.

When everyone heard about the alternative plan, they immediately felt that things had turned around. They usually sat in the office with air conditioning and played with their phones, but now they moved to the board room to suffer. If they told others about this, they would be laughed at. Administrative staff in other hospitals all live comfortably. Doctors don’t have money to pay their salaries, but they don’t say that administrative staff don’t have money to pay their salaries. Many administrative staff get higher salaries than clinical doctors.

"President Sun is welcome to tell everyone about the alternative plan." President Xia invited President Sun to the stage to explain the alternative plan.

Dean Sun strode to the podium and cleared his throat: "Actually, you don't have to move. You can still live in the administrative building..."

Everyone applauded!
"But we have to reduce office space, at least by two-thirds and retain one-third. Correspondingly, we have to reduce the number of staff, also by two-thirds and retain one-third," said President Sun.

A middle-aged woman in the audience immediately lost her temper: "I have a regular job, how dare you lay me off?"

Dean Sun said slowly, "Of course there will be no layoffs. You are a regular employee. How can there be layoffs? It's impossible. We discussed it and decided to give you all easier jobs. Our hospital is going to build a large pig farm, which can not only provide pigs for animal experiments, but also generate income through breeding. Two-thirds of the administrative staff will be transferred to the pig farm to raise pigs. They will only be paid regular wages, and bonuses will be paid from the annual income from selling pigs. Don't worry, everyone has a regular position, and the position will definitely not be changed. We dare not change it, and we have no right to do so."

Is this true? Everyone is confused. No jokes are allowed in this kind of situation. The people on the stage are the dean and vice-dean.

"In the future, we will build a three-dimensional modern pig farm. Take a look at this, this is the planning rendering..."

A three-dimensional pig farm is projected onto the white wall of the conference room.

"President Sun, we are still moving, but it's just a temporary move. Will we move into the new house later?" The middle-aged woman just now was a little scared. If she really had to be transferred, she might be the first one to raise pigs. She knew it in her heart.

"We value democracy. Everyone should make careful choices and not make hasty decisions," said President Sun seriously.

"Move! For the sake of the hospital's development, it doesn't matter if we live in a board house for a while."

"The dean lives in a boarding house, what else do we have to say?"

"Yeah! I agree!"

"agree!"

Generally, the old employees are more enthusiastic than anyone else, fearing that the dean will not hear them if their voices are too soft.
