Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

The 31st Summer Olympics ended with passionate samba.

This city, which is not good but still enthusiastic, finally completed its Olympic mission.

The most eye-catching thing in the whole process was the sudden rise of the red power.

The Chinese delegation returned with a historic 68 gold/55 silver/59 bronze medals.

This is the best result in the history of the Chinese delegation and the best medal result of a single country since the modern Olympics.

What is the modern Olympics? It means after the anti-doping system.

Those ghosts in the past are not counted now.

Many people say that this is the national fortune, and all aspects can achieve results. Some people also say that this is the appearance of Master Zhou. Which field he glances at, that field will be pregnant and fruitful.

And when it ends, when Lingshu Biology will work with the State Sports Administration to build the "International Sports Health Center", it seems to witness the gradual transfer of the discourse power in the sports world from the West to the East.

Well. For those individual projects that really cannot be promoted, forget it. There is no such thing as being strong in everything.

Among all the gold medals, the most talked-about one is probably the veteran Liu Xiang, who won the Olympic 110-meter hurdles championship for the second time at the age of 33 in obscurity.

It has been 12 years since he won the last Athens Olympic Games.

This move has triggered a lot of discussion. Regardless of how sincere it is, many people began to reflect on whether they were too harsh back then. "I owe Liu Xiang an apology" has become one of the hot topics on the Internet.

However, in the final, Liu Xiang, who had completed his spiritual cleansing, did not care much. The only time he spoke publicly, he only said: "Thank you for your concern. There is no need to apologize to me. In fact, I am also an ordinary person, but I may have run faster before."

The veteran finally finished this long race and started a new journey in life.

Since he had "retired" once, Liu Xiang did not make any retirement statement. After silently accepting everyone's blessings and support, Liu Xiang has been staying at home and rarely showing up in his schedule after the Olympics.

He prefers to quietly savor this victory.

The second unexpected event during the Olympics was the video conference of "Lingshu Biology".

Although similar models are not uncommon in recent years, such as mobile phones and electronic products.

But Master Zhou's personal appearance still made the communication reach its peak.

Sports people and sports fans may focus most of their attention on the magical effects of "electrode acupuncture technology", but another group of people have more complicated and greedy eyes.

"Insider information, the other party's special medicine is planned to be included in the medical insurance system, the price is about 10,000, and individuals bear 10%."

"10,000 US dollars? So cheap?"

"10,000 RMB, which is about 1,300 US dollars, and individuals bear 130 US dollars."

In the Pfizer conference room, a group of executives were silenced.

Not to mention personal responsibility, even if the total price is 1,300 US dollars with insurance, it is far from the mark.

In their case, this price makes the doctor look at you and turn a blind eye, otherwise there is not enough money.

"I don't understand, what about his R\u0026D expenses? What about profits?"

"Obviously he may not have much profit, but he also has no 'R\u0026D costs', after all, his name is 'Rui Zhou'."

For similar special medicines, according to their understanding, the average asset capacity of "Alzheimer's" patients should be directly surveyed.

Count from the top down and draw a line at a certain position.

Then the patient will sell it for how much money he has.

And how can it be cured in one go? You must take the medicine for a long time, and it is best to have a little addiction, and continue to take it after the disease is cured.

If you don't have money, you can wait to die, and we won't force it. In a market economy, our R\u0026D costs are very high, and we have to maintain the enthusiasm of pharmaceutical companies for R\u0026D.

They are not worried that Master Zhou will develop this drug, because they can wait for the announcement of the pathological research on "Alzheimer's" over there, and increase their investment here in the hope of obtaining their own special medicine.

At the same time, during this period of time, they can also prevent the other party from encroaching on their own market.

But if you sell it for $270, it will disrupt the market! It is overcapacity! It damages R\u0026D enthusiasm!

This will make all the pharmaceutical companies' past investments in "Alzheimer's disease" go down the drain.

This may be a cumulative investment of nearly 100 billion yuan for decades.

"The only good news is that according to internal information, the other party seems to attach great importance to the "confidentiality" of the special medicine. The finished medicine will not be sold to the outside world. It will only be used for clinical treatment in large hospitals in China, and each one needs strict approval and supervision to prevent the drug from flowing overseas."

"What good news is this?"

"It means that he has no intention of invading the overseas market, and it is said that treatment for foreigners is another cost."

"Don't you think those who are waiting to die because of terminal illness will not buy a plane ticket to China? And can it be more expensive than ours?"

This is also reasonable.

"Everyone, we can also change our thinking, such as cooperation. Our shareholders and many important people behind them have expressed the hope that we can cooperate with Lingshu Biology as soon as possible. You know, everyone is equal in the face of disease. What's more, they seem to have some degree of "life extension" technology."

"I don't believe there are people in the world who are not interested in money. The overseas market share is much larger than that in China. Can we cooperate?"

To be honest, they are more interested in the word "life extension" than special diseases such as "Alzheimer's disease".

The demand in this area is much greater than that of special drugs, and it can attract the world's richest people.

They will have the opportunity to hold the most terrifying power in the world in their own hands.

Just think about it, how much will those powerful people pay to live one or two more years! Not to mention ten years.

Large pharmaceutical companies and the forces behind them are already rich enough to rival a country, and they don't mind "powering the world" again.

As long as this technology becomes non-saleable.

Then everything those people have will become "saleable".

"Our idea is that the so-called life extension is better operated commercially, and it should even be within a reasonable range. It should be more expensive and the scope of application should be smaller."

Another meeting was also held in the office of Lingshu Biology in Building C of the Intelligent Building.

Including Zhou Rui, Gan Yuan, Marcus and other leaders, as well as some project leaders below, and even some professors from Zhongshan Hospital and Fudan Medical School were invited as consultants.

The speaker was a representative sent by the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau.

Medical insurance and social security are both under their jurisdiction.

The visitor was a director in his fifties named Bi Jian, accompanied by many subordinates.

In the first half of the meeting, the two sides mainly discussed the special medicine for "Alzheimer's disease". Both sides reached full consensus on this topic and the efficiency was very high.

Like "Agricultural God", without national support, the technology still exists, but with national support, the speed and breadth of promotion are two different things.

Correspondingly, although the price of Lingshu Biology is low, the total volume has increased, and the overall profit is still considerable.

Zhou Rui told his driver Lao Wang a few months ago that Alzheimer's special medicine will be included in medical insurance as much as possible to provide relatively cheap treatment options for more than 10 million patients across the country.

It can't be regarded as fulfilling his promise, he is just acting according to the original plan.

But in the second half, the topic of "extending life" was a bit difficult to give birth.

After half a month of treatment, the treatment of Yuanlao and Sunlao is nearing the end.

After systematic treatment, the physical indicators of the two, especially the state of muscles, bones, and internal organs, have undergone qualitative changes.

If estimated in an imprecise way, without "accidents" or "lesions", the expected remaining life expectancy has increased by at least 10 years.

So after discussing the "specific drug for Alzheimer's disease", Zhou Rui also brought up this topic and wanted to have a preliminary discussion.

However, the progress was not smooth.

Zhou Rui remained calm and nodded: "We don't know much about this part, please tell me more about it."

Bi Jian was well prepared. He turned over the information at hand and said:

"You may find it cold when I say this, but social operation cannot focus on individuals, but on the whole, or even on numbers."

"my country's life expectancy is 76.5, and this is the average value. The urban population has already reached 84.1, which is the same as developed countries. As the number of newborns decreases, aging will become more and more serious in the future."

"The national average retirement age is 53 years old, and the urban population is 55 years old, which is 5-7 years earlier than developed countries, which means that retirement The life expectancy is between 25-30 years. "

At this time, someone questioned: "The legal retirement age is 55 and 60, how can the average retirement age be so young?"

Bi Jian said: "60 and 55 are the time for pension payment, not the time for stopping social security payment, and the limit is only 15 years. Moreover, the legal retirement age only restricts state-owned enterprises, civil servants, etc. Private enterprises rarely support people to this age. "

"For example, private enterprises, especially the majority of small and medium-sized enterprises, basically "pick the best" to absorb labor, and the average age of employees rarely exceeds 35 years old. They are just constantly rotating new forces, so these repeatedly rotated forces Where do people retire after they finally "retire"? "

"After continuous rotation, high-level talents may start their own businesses or take the civil service exam, while low-level talents fall into the low-end labor market, such as security guards. For them, after 15 years, they have already terminated their social security and waited for the money to be paid. It is a common practice to find another job. "

"From a social perspective, retirement does not mean losing labor, but from the perspective of social security and medical insurance, retirement means that public finances have become a situation of "only outflow but no inflow" for a certain person. "

"Another person said: "Do you mean that the longer the life span after retirement, the greater the social pressure?"

"Bi Jian shook his head : "How can you say that? It should be understood as: limited resources cannot meet universal needs."

"If your company's so-called "life extension" technology wants to be widely popularized, then first of all, the medical system may be squeezed out. No matter how many resources you release, they will be snatched up, and then many issues of interest exchange and privilege exchange will be extended."

"Secondly, the medical insurance system cannot afford the cost of "popularizing" life extension. It is not the treatment itself, but the stability of social security and medical insurance. Behind the treatment cost of one yuan may be 10 or 100 yuan of social expenditure."

The young people pay for medical insurance and social insurance.

But most of the money is spent by the elderly.

This is not quite the same as "terminal illness". Because old age is not a terminal illness.

"So my suggestion is that the specific medicine for Alzheimer's disease is easy to talk about. Both sides work together to bring hope to more patients. Your company has kept the cost so low. On behalf of the social security system, I want to thank you."

"But the "life extension technology" should not enter the public medical system. Your company can commercialize it on its own as a profitable project, just like European and American pharmaceutical companies, using market-oriented methods to screen customers and set prices freely."

Some young people on Lingshu Biological's side were speechless.

As a company, they are trying to make some contributions to society.

But the official people advised them to be selfish? It's just the opposite!

What is market-oriented screening of customers?

Isn't it that whoever has money can "extend life"?
