medical road with you

Chapter 89 I Raise You

Modern bioengineering and genetic engineering are very developed. Many drugs are biopharmaceuticals. Lu Ping only had a general understanding of them before. He never thought that insulin, a commonly used drug, could be produced with E. coli.

Lu Ping recalled his internship in the Department of Endocrinology. A diabetic patient would spend hundreds of dollars every month just to use insulin. For an ordinary family, this is not a small sum of money.

There are so many diabetic patients in China, it is conceivable how much insulin is needed.

However, the price of insulin has been slow to come down, especially imported insulin.

As a low-level intern doctor, Lu Ping had no idea how much profit insulin made, but there was one thing that impressed Lu Ping very deeply.

It was during the internship in the Department of Endocrinology. One day, the director suddenly said that we don't have to go home for dinner tonight, and someone invited me to dinner.

As for who this person is, everyone knows, only Lu Ping is still stupid, so he asked a doctor, who is it.

After asking several times, the doctor became impatient: "Isn't it the drug agent of insulin?"

As for which insulin company it was, Lu Ping still didn't ask.

It's not like Lu Ping has never seen a medicine substitute treat him to dinner, but it was the first time Lu Ping saw such a high-end consumption.

The place to treat guests is a Japanese restaurant, Japanese food, there are only sushi rolls, grilled eel, and sashimi left and right.

The sushi rolls taste good, there are all kinds of flavors, and the taste of grilled eel is also good, the meat is delicate and tasty.

The taste is good, this is what Lu Ping felt when he ate it. It was not until the sashimi came that Lu Ping realized how good the so-called good was.

Lu Ping has never seen such a big plate in his life. To be precise, it is not a plate, but a table. An iceberg is piled on the table that is one meter long and half a meter wide, and the iceberg is covered with a layer of salmon slices.

It turned out that sashimi can still be served like this, Lu Ping felt that he had learned a lot.

Lu Ping was not interested in sashimi, so he didn't move his chopsticks. He just stared at the one-meter-long table and wondered how much this dish would cost.

Lu Ping took out his mobile phone to search, but couldn't find it. Thinking that it might be made to order, he searched for the grilled eel instead.

That eel suits Lu Ping's taste very well, and Lu Ping still wants to have a meal by himself when he has time.

As a result, Lu Ping was dumbfounded when he saw the price. A small plate of grilled eel, but ten pieces, cost 198.
This number successfully scared Lu Ping, who was so excited to get the 5000 yuan bonus, that he almost dropped his phone.

The grilled eel is at this price, and the sushi rolls are about the same. Looking at the plates of sushi rolls and grilled eels that are served non-stop, and seeing other people eating them like rice, Lu Ping feels that they are not eating. Instead, they are eating RMB, and it is a hundred-yuan bill.

Lu Ping felt that he was shocked enough, but there was another table of sashimi served in the back, and the size was not much different from the previous one.

How much would this meal cost? Lu Ping was still calculating in his mind, and a small dish of golden beads was served.

What is that?

Lu Ping was still wondering, so he heard the name of the dish from the waiter: "Caviar."

Lu Ping had only heard of caviar in movies, but had never seen it before. He thought it would be in the shape of paste, but he didn't expect it to be a plate of marble-like caviar with a diameter of several millimeters.

In addition to golden yellow, there are black!

Black seems to be more expensive!
After all, Lu Ping didn't dare to take a spoonful of caviar to taste, she was afraid that she would not be able to digest too much RMB.

The company that produces insulin is really rich, this is Lu Ping's experience after eating this meal.

Later, Lu Ping learned why the Japanese restaurant was so expensive. It is said that all the ingredients in this restaurant are taken from the deep sea in Canada.That's right, just thinking about the effort of salvage and the cost of transportation, it's no wonder it's not expensive.

Anyway, Lu Ping realized the fact that insulin is very expensive, and the profit margin of insulin is huge.

No wonder the female tutor pushed the female graduate student so hard. If she really finds out a way to increase insulin production, it will not only be an academic achievement, but also a huge business opportunity will be hidden in it.

"Insulin Production Using Escherichia coli."

Lu Ping thought of this sentence again, couldn't help hehe, and said to the virus under the electron microscope: "They are also microorganisms. Look at other bacteria, and they can make some contributions to mankind. You are born to know how to invade. saboteur, let's see if I find a way to end you one day."

Can viruses be used to produce insulin?

This thought suddenly entered Lu Ping's mind.

The proliferation rate of viruses is much higher than that of bacteria, so it must be more efficient!
But soon, Lu Ping calmed down.Since people can think of using bacteria to produce insulin, they must have thought of using viruses. There must be a reason why they did not choose viruses.

However, Lu Ping did not give up on this idea immediately, so he went to investigate the principle of bacteria producing insulin.

First cut the insulin gene, and then transfer the insulin gene into the human E. coli heritage material, and then create a favorable environment for E. coli fission, and conduct large-scale culture of E. coli to produce a large amount of insulin.

The general process is like this. Now, the cutting and splicing operation of the gene is quite mature. It is not a problem to introduce the insulin gene into the genetic material of the virus, and the mass reproduction of the virus is not a problem. The problem lies in the expression of the insulin gene.Only when the insulin gene is expressed can insulin be synthesized, and the expression of the gene will be regulated by the virus. Even if it contains the insulin gene, it may not translate the gene into insulin.Therefore, how to regulate the gene expression of viruses has become a key issue at present.

Through the observation of virus cultivation during this period, Lu Ping found that the virus also selectively expresses some proteins due to different environments. Therefore, in Lu Ping's view, the gene expression of the virus is adjustable, so this is not an unsolvable problem.

With the feasibility, Lu Ping immediately became excited. She finally found her direction again!

**
[Plain]: Husband, I have found a new topic!
Lu Ping immediately told Tianhai the good news.

[Blue Sea and Blue Sky]: Awesome, I knew you were the best! :)
[Plainly]: Wow!

'Mommada', but just three words, Tianhai knew how happy Lu Ping was.Lu Ping is a relatively traditional person, and rarely uses this kind of Internet buzzwords. Tianhai is so happy that he can use these three words. Tianhai understands that Lu Ping is really very happy at this time. Unconsciously, Tianhai also smiled smiled.

"General manager, can we continue the meeting?" The assistant looked at Tianhai with a strange smile for half a minute, and then asked.

"Oh, continue." Tianhai put away his smile, and put on that serious face again.

The minister of the financing department continued to report: "Now, Tianbao Group is not only robbing our customers, but also, I am worried about the targeted shorting of the stocks we bet on..."

Tianhai's face remained calm: "Go on, estimate the worst case!"

The minister swallowed: "I'm worried, if this continues, our company will have to file for bankruptcy in three months!"

Tianhai closed his eyes, rubbed his brows, and finally touched his left and right fingers together, and tapped his index finger a few times: "Assistant, you go and send an email to all the employees and report the current situation truthfully. They can choose to leave now, and the company will follow suit. The national law provides them with compensation, and they can continue to stay, but when the company really goes bankrupt, they will not get any compensation."

"Okay, I understand." The assistant left the conference room to send emails.

"What about you, when do you plan to leave?" Tianhai asked the financing minister.

The Minister of Finance is a young man who has only graduated for two years, and he is still very simple: "General manager, when the company first started, you trusted me so much and let me be the minister. At that time, the company caught up with the good times and made a lot of money. I also made a fortune, and now that the company is in trouble, I just run away, wouldn't that be too disrespectful!"

"Hehe." Tianhai smiled, really happy: "You kid thinks this is a gangster. This is just a company, and you are just doing a job."

"General Manager, I mean it!"

Tianhai stopped his smile and became serious: "Okay, since you really want to stay, let's study carefully now, which is the best time to close the position, and recover some losses if you can."

"Ok!"

When everything was done, it was 05:30, and most of the company's employees left, only a few stayed.

Looking at the empty workstations, Tianhai didn't know what it was like,
No matter how strong his budgeting ability is, he still can't compete with Tianbao Group. There is no way, he is an ant, Tianbao Group is a big tree, no matter how dexterous the ant is, it still can't shake the big tree.

However, Jiang Tianyu and Su Lin really hated him so much that they wanted to rape him even at the expense of huge sums of money.

In this capital war, Tianhai's company collapsed, but Tianbao Group's losses were many times greater than his. Others killed one thousand enemies and lost eight hundred. In order to deal with him, they killed one hundred enemies and lost one Thousands!

Based on Tianhai's understanding of the Tianbao Group, the Tianbao Group may be hurt in this war. Aren't they afraid that their competitors will take the opportunity to draw on them?
Hey, I don't understand, sometimes hatred really blinds people's eyes.

Look at the time, it's [-]:[-], it's time to pick up Pingping from get off work.

Tianhai tidied up his mood, put all his unhappiness behind him, and left the office with a smile on his face.

In the worst case, I would lose all my money. Didn't I think so at the beginning?

When Tianhai came to pick Lu Ping up, Lu Ping was busy splicing the insulin gene into the genetic material of the virus.

Although this technology is now very mature, Lu Ping has been busy all afternoon, but none of them succeeded.

"Husband, I may have to work overtime tonight." Lu Ping said to Tianhai apologetically.

Tianhai understands that now that Lu Ping has found a new subject, he will definitely get busy again, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, you can go get busy first, I'll go buy something to eat."

Tian Hai went to the shop he used to go to, but the shop was closed, Tian Hai wandered around, there was nothing to eat.

Just when Tianhai didn't know what to buy, Tianhai saw a familiar noodle restaurant. It was the noodle restaurant he used to eat when he was wandering, but he didn't expect it to still be there.

"Boss, take away two bowls of noodles, both with eggs, sausages and dried flowers, one bowl needs coriander and the other doesn't."

Tianhai said a long list, the boss couldn't help but look at him a few more times: "Oh, it's you, I haven't seen you for several years!"

The boss actually knew him.

Tianhai also smiled: "It's been a long time!"

There were no other customers in the store, so the boss chatted with Tianhai while making noodles: "How about it, did you catch that girl?"

Tianhai was taken aback: "Which girl?"

"It's the girl with short hair who loves to eat coriander, and you fought with a bunch of people because of her!"

The boss still clearly remembers the fight between Tianhai and Lu Zhan.

"Oh!" Tianhai finally remembered, and smiled so happily: "She, she is my wife now, and the bowl of noodles with coriander is hers!"

"Oh, it's so good, it's so good!" The boss sincerely blessed and envied: "This is rarer than anything else."

With that said, the boss handed two bowls of packaged noodles to Tianhai: "24 yuan."

After seven or eight years, the boss's noodles only increased by a few dollars.

Tianhai scanned the QR code to pay, and took the face: "Thanks, boss!"

Boss: "Come here often in the future, and bring your wife by the way!"

Tianhai: "Definitely!"

"Well, these noodles are really delicious!" Lu Ping took a bite of his intestines and praised.

Looking at his almost untouched bowl of noodles, Tianhai frowned. A bowl of noodles worth more than ten yuan is really delicious, and his wife is really easy to raise.

Looking at Lu Ping up and down, Tianhai suddenly thought of Lu Ping in the freshman year of high school. At that time, she loved to dress up, but now, she has always been a few simple clothes, without any jewelry pendants or the like.

When I wanted to marry her, I wanted her to live the most comfortable life, but now I'm afraid it's hard to live the most ordinary life.

"Pingping, what should I do if I can no longer support you?" Tianhai asked half-jokingly.

Lu Ping drank a few mouthfuls of soup: "It's okay, I will support you."

"You raise me?" Tianhai held back his smile.

Lu Ping wiped his mouth: "Don't look down on me, I have a subsidy of 100 yuan a month now, and the two of us have [-] yuan a day for living expenses. The money for a meal and a bowl of noodles is always enough. You, no problem!"

Hearing that Lu Ping was really serious about the calculations, Tianhai was really convinced: "Okay, you raise me, and I will be your rice worm and eat noodles every day."

Lu Ping looked at Tianhai's almost untouched bowl of noodles: "What's the matter with the noodles? There are vegetables, meat, and eggs in the noodles. The nutrients are definitely enough."

Lu Ping stared at Tianhai's pair of chopsticks for a while again: "What's the matter, maybe your Young Master Jiang is used to delicacies from mountains and seas, and now you can't eat such rich noodles!"

"I can eat it, I can eat it!" To show his sincerity, Tian Hai immediately put the noodles in his mouth.

Lu Ping smiled, and patted Tianhai on the head as if he was praising a primary school student: "That's good, eat well, I'll go to work for a while, at most half an hour, and then we'll go home."

Hehe, Tianhai smiled helplessly, and finally finished eating the noodles.

Yes, life today is much better than when he was a wanderer, so why can't he live on.

If the company really goes bankrupt, let it go bankrupt, he can always find a way to make money, Lu Ping is not worried, what is he worried about?
