A doctor who travels through two eras

Chapter 422: The United States is preparing to use bribery

Theodore sat down and asked his assistant to pour him a cup of coffee:
"Don't forget that I went to Geneva, Switzerland to attend the WHO meeting. There were Chinese staff distributing materials on site, and almost every participant had a copy."

Professor Anthony was obviously full of doubts:

"Why didn't they submit their papers? Conquering tuberculosis is a major medical breakthrough of epoch-making significance. Shouldn't they submit their papers to journals such as The Lancet or The New England Journal of Medicine? Are they afraid to submit, or is there some other reason?"

Professor Theodore explains:

"I also asked this question to my Chinese colleagues at the time, and their answer was that their country was currently being blocked by Western governments, and their papers would definitely not be recognized by the Western medical community, and their manuscripts would be buried in the sea.

But they were afraid of missing this opportunity, in case medical teams from other countries beat them to the punch and announced that they had conquered tuberculosis, so they had no choice but to use this helpless method and publish these papers to the world through national news media.

Carol nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with this reason.

"The Chinese side's concerns are justified. If I were an editor, I might also be biased and unwilling to open the Chinese envelope and throw it directly into the trash can."

Professor Anthony started pulling his hair again:
"Impossible, impossible. If you said it was the medical teams from England, France, West Germany, or Italy that conquered tuberculosis, I would believe it, but why did it have to be China?
This is a backward, ignorant, and uncivilized world of barbarians. Like primitive tribes, they cannot even provide basic medical services. How can they possibly solve a century-old problem at the top of the medical pyramid?"

It is obvious that Professor Anthony, as a white man, has very deep prejudices, which is also what Lin Sanqi is most worried about, because white supremacy was very prevalent throughout the 1950s and 1960s.

As for the black movement, it didn't reach its peak until the 70s, and then it gained great privileges until the advent of zero-dollar shopping, when it reached its peak.

As for the yellow race, they have always been the target of bullying in the United States. Not to mention the Chinese who have different ideologies, even the Japanese, the bastards of the United States, are bullied.

The only awesome country is South Korea. A show called “South Koreans on the Roof” in Los Angeles made the Koreans famous and they are no longer looked down upon by other races.

As Lin Sanqi had expected, if he dared to submit the manuscript to major international medical journals, those white editors might not believe it, and it might not even be delivered to the editor-in-chief. It might have ended up in the trash can long ago.

Secondly, if the editor believes it, he will withhold the manuscript and then plagiarize it himself and publish the paper first.

After all, this is the most tempting fruit growing on the tree of technology. Money is attractive, and who doesn't want to be famous and gain money? There are too many scandals of plagiarism in European and American countries. How can the descendants of robbers suddenly become saints?

By then, Lin Sanqi or the Chinese side will not be able to find anyone to appeal for justice.

The news media is controlled by capitalists, the experts and professors in major hospitals are also controlled by capitalists, and in European and American countries even the political power is controlled by capitalists.

When Lin Sanqi submits the complaint, the judge, who is supported by capital, will definitely ask: Who in this court is suing me?

Professor Theodore was obviously more rational and objective. His tone remained unchanged and he asked cheerfully:
“So, I didn’t announce in advance which country or which medical team the papers were from. Instead, I let you read the papers first, so that you wouldn’t have a bad impression of being in the lead and could look at these papers fairly and impartially.

Anthony, you are anxious and angry, which means you believe in the authenticity and value of these papers, so you are afraid, afraid of being overtaken by your Chinese counterparts, and afraid that your life's hard work will be wasted, right?"

Professor Anthony did not answer, still holding the Chinese version of the "Renzhi Daily" in a daze. Then he looked at the photo in the newspaper and suddenly an idea came to him:
"Theodore, look at this photo. Blake, Carol, Austin, and Clifford, all of you come over and take a look at this photo. The young man in the middle of the photo is the head of the Chinese Tuberculosis Research Group, right?"

Professor Theodore nodded somewhat blankly:
"Yes, I was a little surprised when I first got the newspaper. I confirmed with Chinese diplomats again and again. They said that this young doctor is only in his 20s. It's really surprising."

Professor Anthony waved his hand:

"I am not lamenting the age of this person in charge. Queen Elizabeth II was in her 20s when she became Queen, and Carol and Austen were only 30 years old, so age is not a problem.

I want to ask everyone, do you think these five papers from China are credible? Do you believe that China has already conquered tuberculosis, the top problem in the medical field? "Professor Theodore nodded gently:
“After reading the papers, I think they are 70% credible because there are no logical loopholes in them, and many of their arguments are consistent with our previous research results, which shows that they have done in-depth research.

The biggest difference between them and us is that they have already gone beyond the theoretical stage and invented relevant drugs, while we have discovered the problem but have not yet solved it, which is why China has taken the lead. "

Several other assistants in the office also nodded slightly.

"There is indeed no problem with the theory in their paper, and we have confirmed it, which shows that they did not make it up at random."

"China has no problem with pharmacology either. For example, they use multibacterial enzyme β-oxygen to inhibit bacterial RNA synthesis and prevent RNA transcription. This view is consistent with my research conclusions."

(Lin Sanqi: I copied from a textbook, so the theory is of course the most authoritative and scientific)
Professor Anthony smiled at this time:
"Okay, although the Chinese paper is questionable, it is still very likely to be true. Even if the Chinese are bragging, it is certain that they are already in the world's leading position in tuberculosis research. Is there any objection to this?"

The medical team in the office consists of the world's top infectious disease experts and doctors of medicine. They are experts in the field and, without the ideological filter, they naturally understand the importance of these five papers.

If these five papers were published by their Harvard team, they would have caused a sensation around the world.

"So since we can't beat them, why don't we join them? Oh no, I misspoke, why don't we let the young doctor in the photo join our Harvard team?
We can promise to make him a U.S. citizen, and we can invite him to become an associate professor at Harvard Medical School, or even a professor. We can also provide him with a villa, a car, and even as many Hollywood actresses as he wants.

If he wants fame, we give him fame; if he wants money, we give him money; if he wants women, we help him pimp. Do you think young people like this can resist these sugar-coated bullets?

As long as he brings his research results to us, we can publish papers and apply for patents for various tuberculosis drugs. Just think about it, all the money and fame will be ours. "

Professor Anthony's face became redder and redder, and he became more and more excited as he spoke, and he also persuaded the others:

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?"

"The professor is indeed far-sighted. This idea is absolutely amazing."

"The Chinese have never taken intellectual property seriously, and they dare to expose it directly in the newspapers. How naive! We deserve to get rich!"

Who says that all Americans are honest boys? They are also very good at flattering others. The only real saint is in Qufu. He kneels to everyone who comes to him. Isn't he a saint?

Professor Theodore suddenly slammed the table:
"Yes, yes, yes, yes. China's medical team, including this young doctor, is like a rough diamond. If we win them over while no one is paying attention, they will become our best helper."

Professor Anthony was also a little smug at this time:

"Then let's act quickly. Oh, by the way, we don't have diplomatic relations with China. We can go to China for investigation in the name of the World Health Organization. I want to meet this amazing young Chinese man in person to see if they can really cure tuberculosis."

Professor Theodore strongly agrees:

"OK, I'll say hello to the WHO. We're going to China for the inspection at our own expense anyway, so they don't need to pay for it. Dylan, who is in charge of external relations at the WHO, is an old friend of mine. Let him issue us a certificate. He will definitely give us this face."

"Then let's act now without further delay. China happens to be a mysterious country, and we can take the opportunity to travel there."

"I want to go too. I want to go too. I also want to see the Great Wall!"

"I will be responsible for applying for a visa from the Chinese Liaison Office in the United States..." (End of this chapter)
