The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Just think about it, a personal investment of 100 billion to set up an anti-cancer research institute, bringing together medical elites from all over the country to conduct research, and with Zhang Zhipeng personally in charge, there will definitely be many valuable results in the future!
This is a great decision that will benefit the entire nation.

Over the past many years, Zhang Zhipeng has created too many miracles!
With his participation, many industries in China have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Now, Zhang Zhipeng is about to enter the field of anti-cancer drug research.

Everyone firmly believes that this time, Zhang Zhipeng will still be able to create a miracle.

After attending Yang Weimin’s memorial service, Zhang Zhipeng immediately flew back to Chang’an.

The Chinese New Year is approaching, and every year during the Chinese New Year is also his busiest time.

During the Spring Festival of 2002, Zhang Zhipeng was still very busy.

In addition to family and business matters, his main focus is on medicine.

Now that the establishment of an anti-cancer research institute has been announced, it must be implemented immediately.

This anti-cancer research institute is in cooperation with Northwestern Polytechnical University.

The institute is located in an office building under Huaxing Enterprise.

This office building is an old building and needs a comprehensive renovation.

Before the office building was completed, the Weimin Anti-Cancer Research Institute was located on the top floor of the Northwestern Polytechnical University Hospital.

The entire building was rented by Zhang Zhipeng.

The next step is to recruit outstanding researchers from home and abroad with large sums of money. Of course, the main targets of recruitment are doctoral students from domestic medical universities.

As the recruitment news spread, it quickly caused a huge stir in medical colleges across the country.

Medical graduates participated enthusiastically, and the recruitment information was officially released on December 2002, 29.

On the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, when Zhang Zhipeng opened the mailbox he used to send his resume, he had received more than job application emails.

Looking at the information of those who sent in application emails, they are all PhDs from medical universities across the country.

Some are medical doctors from overseas universities.

In addition, some doctors in office are also considering changing jobs.

After all, the Weimin Anti-Cancer Research Institute was invested and managed by Zhang Zhipeng himself.

Moreover, the remuneration is too generous.

Today, the exchange rate of China's RMB is almost the same as that of the US dollar.

1 RMB can be exchanged for 0.67 USD.

The remuneration offered by Zhang Zhipeng for researchers is a basic monthly salary of up to 2 RMB!
This income is really too high.

Much more than what the research institutes and universities on the Lizard side can offer.

Today, the entire lizard world is in rapid decline.

When they lose almost all of their advantageous technological industries, it will not be long before they slide from a developed country to a developing country.

Although the medical industry of Xifang is still their advantageous industry, the treatment is not very good.

The maximum salary a researcher can earn is around $1.

However, the taxes are very high and the prices are also much higher.

In this case, the living standard of $1 is only equivalent to 5 RMB in China.

This is also the main reason why China has become a country that new high-tech talents aspire to.

The Spring Festival of 2002 passed quickly in the midst of busyness.

After the Spring Festival, Zhang Zhipeng started asking his staff to send out job applications via email, and he also sent interview notices to those who he thought were suitable.

During the entire Spring Festival period, the recruitment mailbox received as many as 70,000 to 80,000 application emails.

Zhang Zhipeng, who hadn't paid attention to recruitment for a long time, was shocked.

He wondered what this meant.
I only hired about 180 researchers, and the rest were assistants or something like that.

How come there are so many people applying?
Is it possible that the current employment situation is very tense?

He told Zhao Min about this problem, and Zhao Min smiled and said, "Zhipeng, don't think too much."

"The job market is booming across the country right now. It's doing very well."

"The reason why this recruitment is so attractive is mainly because the salary you offer is relatively high. Also, you are personally in charge of the Weimin Anti-Cancer Research Institute. I guess many people come here just for you."

Zhang Zhipeng nodded and said, "What you said makes some sense."

"I'm a little dazed, haha!"

"Right now, our RMB is appreciating too fast. After a while, it will probably be on par with the US dollar."

"But I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing!"

If the currency value increases, the production costs of enterprises will also increase significantly.

This will lead to a significant increase in product prices.

If the price of goods is too high, we will lose our competitive advantage.

Then the low-end manufacturing production chain will be transferred.

What followed was the hollowing out of the industry.

There are many verified examples of this in history.

For example, after becoming the world's factory, John Bull started to globalize in order to open the market to other countries. It made a lot of money, its people became wealthy, income increased, and labor costs rose, resulting in its product prices being too high and it lost competitiveness in the global market.

The result was that the emerging Sam and Hans began to use their cost advantage to snatch away John Bull's market share, which eventually led to the gradual decline of John Bull's national strength. Ultimately, John Bull lost its dominant position.

Sam also went through such a process.

Zhang Zhipeng is a little worried: if China's production costs rise sharply, its exported goods will lose their competitiveness.

However, he thought about it and felt relieved: the current situation is different from the past! Moreover, China is not the same as the countries mentioned above.

Nowadays, automated production technology has been greatly improved, and the production efficiency of individual workers has also been greatly improved. Even if the workers' wages increase, the price of products will be in a reasonable range and will not increase too much.

Moreover, our industrial policy is guided by the state. As long as we do not transfer our industrial chain, no one can take our industrial chain away.

To get back to the point, Zhang Zhipeng recruited these more than 180 researchers to help him analyze the components of all of Xifang's current anti-cancer drugs, and then improve and upgrade them, and then launch new domestically produced drugs in the country.

Of course, if we want to break the patent restrictions of the pharmaceutical giant Xifang, we need to think of some ways.

The recruitment and selection process at the Weimin Cancer Research Institute was quite smooth.

However, selecting 180 people from tens of thousands of people is really a painful process.

Zhang Zhipeng was quite cautious when making the selection.

He requested an investigation into the family background of all outstanding candidates as well as their past words, deeds, character and morals.

Those who are talented but immoral, selfish and crooked will be vetoed by Zhang Zhipeng.

The first requirement for the people he chose was that they were honest, kind, had a sense of family and country, and had lofty ambitions.

Next comes talent, ability, and the results achieved in the early stages.

This meant that many people who graduated from top medical or pharmaceutical universities at home and abroad were directly eliminated.

Some of them were very dissatisfied after being eliminated and felt that there was something shady about the recruitment activities.

For example, there is an applicant named Zhang Xiushan.

Zhang Xiushan graduated with a degree in pharmacy from a top domestic university's medical school.

After graduating from college, he went to a top university in Australia to pursue a graduate degree.

Because Amei did not recognize China's medical diploma, he initially aimed to be a doctor in Amei's family.

He had to put in a lot of effort, more than ten years, and almost emptied his family's savings before he completed his doctorate in medicine. Then, when he was preparing to practice medicine in Amei, he encountered setbacks again.

Just when Zhang Xiushan was feeling desperate, he saw the news on the Internet that Zhang Zhipeng had established the Weimin Anti-Cancer Research Institute and was planning to recruit researchers with a large salary.

When Zhang Xiushan saw the conditions, he was shocked.

Because the basic salary is as high as 2 RMB! It can be converted into 1.2 US dollars!
In addition, food and accommodation are provided. Those who have worked for more than 5 years or have made major research results will be rewarded with housing. For each research result, the reward starts at million RMB.

This is much better than the treatment provided by the doctors in Amei.

Zhang Xiushan has been in Amei for more than ten years.

When he left, China was still very poor.

In the past ten years or so, Zhang Xiushan has never returned to China.

In his memory, China was still poor and backward.

Zhang Xiushan was a little bit unconvinced that China had only taken 10 years to complete its rise as a great power.
However, he could not get a medical position in Amei.

Working in other industries doesn't make much money.

How to do?
Zhang Xiushan thought, forget it, I'll just hold my nose and go back to my country to develop.

He thought, with my qualifications, I graduated from a top medical school in the country, and Amei also graduated with a doctorate in top oncology medicine.

As soon as I send out a job application letter, the other party will definitely rush to take it.

Zhang Xiushan sent a job application letter to the mailbox set up by Zhang Zhipeng himself.

Afterwards, Zhang Xiushan returned to his country.

He really couldn't stay in Amei any longer.

Because the prices here are too expensive.

He doesn't make much money doing odd jobs.

The little money he earned from odd jobs was not enough for food and accommodation.

The money for his return flight ticket was paid by his parents.

Zhang Xiushan returned to China.

His home is in the rural area of ​​Gyeonggi Province.

It was quite dilapidated back then.

When he came back this time, he was surprised to see that his hometown had been subsumed by the rapidly developing city.

His family's land was expropriated, and of course they received compensation, and the village also distributed dividends every year. His family built a seven-story building for rent, and they can earn tens of thousands of RMB in rent every month.

The area around his village has now become an industrial park...

All you see is prosperity.

Moreover, his childhood friends are doing better than him now.

Some of them have never even attended college, but now they have become big bosses with assets reaching tens of millions or even hundreds of millions!

Who could have imagined this...

Zhang Xiushan felt a deep sense of loss.

He felt that he had studied abroad for ten years, but after returning, he became the one who had the worst performance.

This is simply unacceptable.

When he first came back, he still wanted to show his superiority.

Unexpectedly, after meeting and getting together with his childhood friends a few times, he realized that he did not have any sense of superiority here!

He is the poorest and most incompetent one among his childhood friends.

Later, Zhang Xiushan refused to go out for gatherings anymore.

He was waiting for the Weimin Anti-Cancer Research Institute to send him an employment letter.

As a result, he waited and waited for nearly 20 days, until the institute founded by Zhang Zhipeng issued a message stating that the institute had completed the recruitment work, and those who did not receive an interview notification did not even have the reserve qualification.

Zhang Xiushan was stunned.

Then he got angry.

He thought to himself, I am a PhD from the world's top medical university!

I didn’t even qualify for an interview?

This is simply an insult!

What is the point of such recruitment without selecting the best candidates?
Especially when he found out that a guy in his village who had just graduated with a doctorate in pharmacy from a second-rate medical university in the country was actually accepted by that research institute!
And he, a doctor of medicine from a top Amei University, was not even qualified for an interview?

What on earth are they doing?
Could it be that even Zhang Zhipeng is practicing nepotism?

Maybe, my cover letter was not seen by the other party?
Zhang Xiushan was not convinced.

Zhang Xiushan decided to fly to Chang'an in person to question the HR of Weimin Anti-Cancer Research Institute. What on earth were they doing?
He did what he said and bought a plane ticket to Chang'an that day.

It has to be said that the domestic civil aviation industry is now quite developed.

Moreover, many of the country’s civil aviation aircraft are domestically produced large aircraft.

Zhang Xiushan was very skeptical about domestically produced large aircraft at the beginning, as he felt that domestically produced large aircraft might not be safe.

But he was immediately ridiculed and mocked by everyone around him.

People will also tell him that there are no domestically produced large aircraft in the world that are safer and more reliable!
So far, there has not been a single accident involving domestically produced large aircraft!

At present, more than 300 domestically-produced large aircraft have been delivered and flown in the country.

Zhang Xiushan felt his self-esteem severely hurt again.

He felt like he didn't fit in with everyone around him.

He originally thought that he would become a superior person after going abroad.

Unexpectedly, I have now become the bottom of the contempt chain.

He wanted to retort, too.

However, every time he refuted, he would be met with more harsh attacks.

People debated with him using facts, letting him see for himself whether Amei had declined to the point of being completely ruined.

Zhang Xiushan arrived in Chang'an by plane.

When he saw it, he was shocked again.

Because this western city is like a huge metropolis!
It's really prosperous.

Various new areas and industrial zones abound.

Moreover, there are scenes of blooming flowers everywhere.

"It turns out that Chang'an has really become a world-class metropolis..."

"It looks prettier and richer than New York."

"But New York's GDP is obviously much higher than its..."

Zhang Xiushan was a little confused.

He finally began to doubt: Is the GDP of New York and even the entire Aramco seriously falsified?

And they falsified GDP just to save a bit of face?
This is entirely possible.

Zhang Xiushan took the airport bus from the airport to the city.

Then he checked the map, went out and took a taxi to the Weimin Anti-Cancer Research Institute.

This research institute is located in Northwestern Polytechnical University.

When Zhang Xiushan was still in China, he didn't even look at Northwestern Polytechnical University.

But today, it has grown into the best engineering university in China.

It is even ranked ahead of Tsinghua University and Peking University in China now, and it far exceeds Tsinghua University and Peking University in all indicators. Who could have imagined this?
Zhang Xiushan took a taxi and quickly arrived at the new campus of Northwestern Polytechnical University in the suburbs.

When he took a look, he was surprised to find that this campus was like a small city!
He took some effort to find the Weimin Anti-Cancer Research Institute, but when he arrived at the gate, he was a little timid. (End of this chapter)
