Chapter 196 Fame and Profit

After the press conference, Mia approached Wu Tao and said, "Boss, as the first scientific research achievement of our laboratory, will it be too bad for you to contribute it for free? After all, this laboratory has poured too much effort and investment into it. There is a lot of scientific research cost behind every achievement. If we don't care about the return, I'm afraid we won't be able to maintain it better."

Wu Tao sat in the car and explained patiently: "The Ebola variant virus is raging now. Our special medicine seems to be very important, and it is a life-saving remedy that is urgently needed by all countries in the world. However, what will happen when the epidemic is over?"

Mia thought about it: "When the epidemic is over, our specific drugs will lose the market. But what if there will be a new epidemic next year?"

Wu Tao shook his head and said, "That's impossible. The worldwide impact of the Ebola variant virus has already triggered a red alert from the World Health Organization. Infectious diseases, develop vaccines for them, and avoid outbreaks again. Just like leprosy back then..."

Mia suddenly realized: "According to this, our specific drug formula is actually a one-shot deal. It is difficult to negotiate the price, and if we insist on asking for a high price, we will instead establish a mercenary plan in the current critical situation of the epidemic. The bad image of the lab. And you, the boss, provide it for free by surprise, although there is a loss, it can bring a lot of fame and word of mouth to the laboratory."

Wu Tao let out a long breath and said, "That's right, fame is what our lab lacks the most right now. But for the lab, with fame, there will naturally be no shortage of benefits."

At this moment, Mia's cell phone rang, she picked it up in a hurry, and after a pleasant conversation, she hung up the phone.The whole doll-like pretty face is full of joy.

"Boss, just received a donation from GE Healthcare, 3000 million US dollars! This is what you call the benefits of fame, right?"

Wu Tao smiled knowingly and gave Mia a thumbs up appreciatively.

At the same time, Janice, who was watching the webcast of the press conference on the business plane, frowned and said, "Mr. Wu will really give me problems!"

The assistant Henry is a steady middle-aged man in his 40s. He was puzzled and said: "A result of many laboratories is enough to last for decades. This can ensure that even if there is no result in a few years or even ten years, the laboratory Can continue to operate. Doesn’t he consider the sustainable development of the laboratory when he does this?”

Janice took the red wine glass, took a sip and said, "Henry, do you think that with the scientific research potential shown in the future biological laboratory, they will lack results in the future? Besides, with the current epidemic situation and public opinion, free and paid Provided, it is really hard to say which option will bring more benefits.”

After all, Henry has been in the mall for a long time, and he can get through at one point: "I understand, Mr. Wu's doing so has completely established the reputation of the future biological laboratory and established a good image. In this way, the donations from all walks of life must be very considerable. , It may even exceed the benefits brought by the direct sale of specific drug formulas. It’s just that he did so, and as a manufacturer of specific drugs, we don’t have much benefit to reap.”

Janice put down her wine glass, nodded and said, "So, he posed a problem for me." Immediately, Janice stood up, her perfect body stretched out, exuding hot charm with every step.

"Forget it, this cooperation should be regarded as a beneficial attempt." After finishing speaking, Janice twisted her delicate body and said: "Henry, inform Wyeth Pharmaceuticals to allocate a certain amount of money to the Future Biological Laboratory in the name of donation." billion dollars."

"OK!"

Back at the Future Biological Laboratory, Wu Tao only saw seven or eight people including Gavin.

"What about the rest?"

Gavin replied: "Dior and Kailin are in the state hospital with others, and continue to observe the patient's drug response after six hours, twelve hours, and 24 hours."

"what are you doing then?"

"Mr. Wu, I'm working on a vaccine for the Ebola variant virus."

Wu Tao patted the other party's shoulder and said: "It seems that you understand my approach, I am very pleased."

Gavin smiled knowingly: "Of course."

Wu Tao's smile suddenly faded, and he changed the topic: "But there is one thing, I must criticize you."

The two of Mia brought coffee and said, "What's the matter?" Gavin was even more puzzled.

"About that paper on "Cell", why did you put me as the first author? Are you trying to flatter me?"

Gavin quickly explained: "Mr. Wu, I'm actually ranking according to the degree of contribution to this major discovery. The microbial intelligent recognition platform and multi-legged intelligent robot you provided contributed the most to this discovery. Therefore, it should be the first place. An author!"

Mia nodded and echoed, "I think so too. In fact, none of us had any objection to Gavin's order."

Wu Tao said seriously: "Gavin, Mia, you are setting up a specimen of academic corruption for the future biological laboratory! According to what you say, I will be the first author of any of your achievements and discoveries in the future?"

Gavin and Mia were suddenly speechless!

Wu Tao's tone softened, and he said earnestly: "I know that you have reasons for me when you do this. But it is undeniable that this is very detrimental to the future development of the laboratory! The future biological laboratory is to become the world's top laboratory. Without a sound academic mechanism, how to encourage everyone to climb the peak of scientific research? How to maintain the benign and sustainable development of scientific research?"

Gavin's frustration disappeared suddenly, and light appeared in his cloudy eyes: "Mr Wu, I understand."

Mia was even more radiant. In her eyes, looking at Wu Tao's figure, she became taller and more powerful.

Wu Tao stood up and said: "I have already called Ms. Emily, and they will publish a correction statement in the next journal. In addition, let's put aside the matter of the vaccine first. Give the source of the formula of the specific medicine to Wyeth and the United States. After Huaxia Shencheng Pharmaceutical Group, I will give everyone bonuses and then take a long vacation. Only when there is a degree of relaxation can it be easier to produce results."

Gavin said with a look of admiration: "Yes, Mr. Wu. I have prepared two formula bacteria sources."

Just then, Ye Huan called.

"Okay, brother Wu, this time you can provide the formula of the special medicine for free, the higher-ups are very impressed with you! I have also gained a lot of benefits..."

Wu Tao was too lazy to listen to his complacency, so he interrupted: "Time is life, how do you plan to get the source of the formula bacteria?"

Ye Huan immediately said sternly: "The special situation in Hawaii will contact you immediately, and you give him the source of the bacteria. There will be a direct flight to Shanghai in half an hour."

"That's too slow, let him take my private jet."

After the agreement, Wu Tao hung up the phone alone.Soon the person in charge of Wyeth's R&D department called: "Mr. Wu, please deliver the source of the formula bacteria to the representative of the Pearl Harbor military. He will send it to Philadelphia with an F22 fighter jet."

"OK!"

　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation.
