Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

On the way back to Shanghai, the Red Flag car was stable and quiet.

Zhou Rui was holding up the bound volume of his thesis and was quietly flipping through it. He had made rapid progress in biomedicine during this period. [Master of Biology] has a very high talent bonus in related fields. Zhou Rui can be said to be different every day.

Lin Tuo glanced through the rearview mirror and found that the newly-minted Academician Zhou was still studying hard. He said, "Mr. Zhou, although it was announced as planned, it is still worth being vigilant in the near future. I will appropriately strengthen the security force."

Zhou Rui said without raising his head, "I feel it. The Dongfeng Warrior behind has been transferred back. Have you brought everything you need to bring?"

"I have prepared it."

"Then let's go. If you go too late, the fat nurse will yell at me."

The car drove all the way to the vicinity of Zhongshan Hospital. Zhou Rui got off the car in advance and walked to the inpatient department.

It has been more than ten days since Marcus completed the injection, and many things should have a final arrangement.

Outside the ward, Zhou Rui knocked on the door. Inside was Marcus, who was writing and drawing, and his granddaughter Mia.

Mia returned to China yesterday. The short trip made her look a little haggard. She was very embarrassed to see Zhou Rui coming in.

She already knew Zhou Rui's identity and was a little nervous.

Marcus raised his head and smiled, "Academician Zhou, I didn't expect you to come to me so soon. I thought you would go to Jingbei to receive the honor."

Zhou Rui didn't have any special reaction to the new title. He shook his head and said, "The public notice period is 15 days. It's not 'finally confirmed' at this time."

What if someone reports it?

Then you have to check your ancestors thoroughly?

Still in the empty hospital corridor, still fished out two chairs from the nurse's office.

Today, Zhou Rui no longer needs to deliberately go to the so-called safe place to discuss things.

With Lintuo and a whole team, he can build a confidential space anywhere.

"Mr. Marcus, how do you feel these days?"

"It couldn't be better, so good that I feel like I'm wasting my life and I can't be sure if I will become a forgetful old man in the future, so I try to record my recent inspiration as much as possible."

Zhou Rui: "From the current conclusion, this possibility is close to zero. Let's talk about business. The American laboratory has entered the acquisition process."

"So fast?"

Zhou Rui said: "Yes, it's going smoothly."

The people from Fu Rui Group contacted them on the grounds that they needed to acquire American drug research qualifications, and then merge domestic pharmaceutical companies in the financial statements, increase R\u0026D expenses to raise stock prices, and transfer assets by the way.

It sounds quite complicated and quite real.

The real thing opened the door to the real thing.

The small and medium-sized drug laboratory named "King Kong" did not resist this, and could even be said to be very happy, because if they continued to operate, they might go bankrupt.

In the United States, bankruptcy is very dangerous, especially for the middle class and small and medium-sized business owners.

Today, you may be drinking coffee like a decent person, but tomorrow you may be driven out of your house and live on the street, turning into a human-shaped medicine jar or a human-shaped puff.

The man has money and the woman is interested, and the two sides quickly reached a preliminary intention and began to promote the process pragmatically.

An acquisition obviously cannot be completed so quickly, but thanks to the "activeness" of both parties, a lot of core information has been obtained.

TDX-42 protein, one of a batch of experimental products, its related technology is in an intellectual property package, belonging to a failed Parkinson's disease specific drug project, and is also part of the acquired assets.

But part of the rights and interests of the package belong to Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, even if the other party terminates the cooperation.

However, Pfizer does not attach much importance to this. For a company like them, this King Kong Laboratory is just one of thousands of small suppliers, and that project is one of thousands of projects.

For them, it is just a line in a long report, and they don't even have their own project code.

The "acquirer" expressed the desire to acquire the entire rights and interests for the purpose of applying for international patents, and Pfizer agreed to this, so that at least on paper it would be a "small profit" instead of "research failure, loss, etc."

So Pfizer was also very happy.

Well, now it has become a situation where the husband has money, the concubine has feelings, and the ex-husband is pushing from behind

All three parties feel that they have made a profit, and they are afraid that the other two parties will regret it.

Waving to the distance, Linto came over with a lot of things.

Zhou Rui took out a file bag and put it on Marcus's lap.

"This is the model of TDX-42 protein. Its molecular weight is not too large among proteins. It can be synthesized with 'Compound No. 1' to make the raw material of 'Compound No. 2'."

Marcus pinched the file bag in shock: "Didn't the acquisition process just start?"

Zhou Rui tapped the file bag with his fingertips, making a clicking sound:

"Because some shareholders want extra money, the kind of private ones, so we also made additional requirements, but here is only the supercomputing model of TDX-42 protein, but not the preparation method."

Marcus wanted to open the file bag immediately, but Zhou Rui's hand pressed on it: "Don't worry, one by one."

Linto handed over another file bag, Zhou Rui raised it and said: "This is your application for resignation. If you don't go to court to appeal within 180 days, it will be automatically approved."

Marcus already knew this. His identity in Germany was just a severe Alzheimer's patient with no civil capacity, and Mia had full agency rights, so some things were very simple to handle.

Of course, even if there were some legal follow-ups over there, it didn't matter, as long as the naturalization here could be done.

Zhou Rui moved quickly and threw the third file bag at him:

"This is your employment contract. After signing it, you will be an employee of Lingshu Biology. The corporate position is CTO and the research position is researcher."

Marcus liked Zhou Rui's style of doing things quickly and decisively.

Geniuses should be like this. Looking ahead and behind and being inefficient are not the qualities that geniuses should have.

Zhou Rui put the fourth thing, a heavy black leather suitcase, on Marcus's legs, pressing his old knees and making a sound.

Marcus frowned. This texture. This weight. It must be filled with paper products.

Is this a box of money?

He couldn't help but sigh that Master Zhou really knows how to manipulate people's hearts. Although it's a bit cumbersome to pay salaries in cash in this era, it's obviously more imposing and more shocking.

He didn't reject it. The previous few years of treatment had already used up most of his savings. It was good to be hit by a money box.

At least he could leave some wealth for Mia. After their daughter died, the two of them had been dependent on each other.

Don't look at him now. He is very proud and keeps saying that I, Ma, am the best in the world. In fact, he and Mia are a pair of poor grandfather and grandson. Zhou Rui paid for Mia's round-trip tickets to Germany.

Mia wasted several years accompanying him in his treatment. She fell behind in both her studies and work. The lack of a stable place to live also made this beautiful girl very unconfident. He was definitely worried about letting his granddaughter go back to Germany to fend for herself, so he had to arrange some belongings in China.

Marcus rubbed his hands and said politely:

"I'm so sorry. So much money, it must be hundreds of thousands of RMB."

Zhou Rui was stunned, and knew that he would misunderstand, and deliberately said: "More than that, several hundred million."

Marcus blinked: "What do you mean?"

Is there a box of tadpoles in it? What is so huge, Mr. Zhou?

"Several hundred million in compensation, and the box contains the confidentiality agreement and legal contract you need to sign."

Marcus: ? ? ?

When he opened it, it was indeed a whole box of various agreements. He took out a piece of paper at random, and the punishment measures on it made his eyes darken.

This is just the surface. If Marcus really has problems, can he be let off with a fine?

It would be a waste for Zhou Rui to be able to leave China.

He was not partial. Anyone who came into contact with the core technology of Furui Group, especially researchers, had to go through this. They were all covered with confidentiality agreements.

Marcus only had one box, purely because he had little contact with it. If he wanted to see the world and see other things of Furui Technology in the future, he would have to sign boxes one by one.

"Reminder, these things are effective at the same time as the treatment agreement you signed before, and there is no conflict. In other words, you are both the CTO of Lingshu Biology and the research material of Lingshu Biology. Do you understand?"

Marcus did not feel uncomfortable, but was a little excited: "I can't wait!"

Zhou Rui gave Marcus some time to let him check these confidentiality agreements on the spot.

Fortunately, the old man is now extremely agile in thinking, and he has a photographic memory. He reads very quickly, which is a bit like Zhou Rui's "quantum reading".

After more than ten minutes, everything was signed. The old man was also free and easy, and did not question or object to any terms.

Then he smiled and said, "Then boss, can I open my offer now?"

Zhou Rui stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation: "Please."

Marcus opened it and took a look, especially paying attention to the salary column.

Well. A very sincere salary.

Although it is not as good as his income when he was in Germany as the best brain expert in Europe, it can also be said to be quite generous.

Mia's husband was originally.

In contrast to the order in which he got it, Marcus was qualified to open the file bag that recorded the "TDX-42 protein model" at the very end.

After opening it, he read it for a long time, even longer than the box of confidentiality agreements. The more Marcus read, the more excited he became.

"Well, with this thing, we can start researching "Compound No. 2"! It's a pity that there is only a model but no preparation method."

According to Zhou Rui, the preparation method can only be obtained after the acquisition is officially completed, which takes several months.

Or he can explore and redesign it by himself, but it will take a lot of time.

Zhou Rui said mysteriously: "Look at the last few pages."

Marcus quickly turned to the end!

Then he was shocked.

"Plasmid design, cloning expression, purification QC, small molecule assistance, phosphorylation catalysis. This is the production process of TDX-42 protein? Didn't you get the manufacturing method?"

Zhou Rui smiled, tapped his temple, and smiled: "I haven't got it yet, so I made one myself."

Behind Zhou Rui, Lin Tuo rolled his eyes silently.

After Mr. Zhou learned this pretentious action, he used it very frequently.

Marcus was overjoyed! Wouldn't he be able to start research on "Compound No. 2" immediately?

He held the paper, very excited. It seemed that the secrets of the human brain were beckoning to him.

He turned his head and looked at Zhou Rui.

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou, Academician Zhou, you will not regret giving me a job. I will bring you results that will shock the world!"

Zhou Rui patted Marcus on the shoulder, stood up and left: "Then I will look forward to it. Tomorrow, if Zhang Biao allows, you can be discharged from the hospital, and someone will come to pick you up."

Because the [Probe] was always on, and Marcus's brain was almost defenseless against him, Zhou Rui read all his thoughts and basically trusted this old man.

Lingshu Biology finally has a general who can take the lead.

Very cool, very cool general, the kind of golden legend.

Next, just wait for Marcus to bear fruit. In addition to the "learning machine", he is not going to spend energy on biomedicine.

His "part-time" career at Zhongshan Hospital is also coming to an end.

Seeing Zhou Rui walking further and further away, Marcus said, "Mr. Zhou, won't you join me in the research? With your participation, we will definitely be faster and stronger."

Zhou Rui didn't even turn his head, and waved his hand with his back to him: "Biomedical research has delayed me for a long time, and I have more important things to do."

"What else can be more important than "Compound No. 2"? "

This is not confidential, because everyone in the world knows that he has promised one thing.

Zhou Rui said from a distance:

"Upgrade Nantianmen."
