"How can surgery be so simple? It takes a lot of time to transfer artificial lungs from the United States alone, not to mention preoperative examination of patients..." Berman smiled faintly. "The price of artificial lungs is not cheap. After all, that technology is a secret of the United States, and it is easy and impossible to transfer."

President Chen immediately patted his chest and promised, "Professor Berman, don't worry, the money is not a problem. As long as you can transfer the artificial lung, your operation fee and visit fee are all counted in the hospital. I won't be vague about how much you want."

In order to ensure that Zhennan central hospital became the first hospital to cure patients with G virus, President Chen also fought hard, even at a high price.

"Well..." Berman tapped his finger on the table and said slowly, "you know, the situation is urgent now. If you want to finish it in the shortest time, you still need to do it up and down, at least this number."

Berman held out a finger.

A young doctor immediately asked, "a million?"

"Hum!" Berman doesn't look good.

President Chen immediately woke up and asked, "ten million?"

Zhong Yan and others were stunned. It's just an operation. It doesn't cost so much money to count the artificial lung. Berman, this is a lion's big mouth.

"Is it too expensive?" Zhong Yan couldn't help asking, "I heard that the maximum number of artificial lungs in the United States is only 1.4 million..."

Berman sneered, "ten million, I'm talking about beautiful knives..."

Hiss——

Everyone took a breath.

Ten million yuan is very expensive. Berman dares to ask for ten million dollars. It's like taking advantage of the fire.

President Chen's face kept shaking and his expression was extremely embarrassed. He also didn't expect that Berman really ignored his feelings and the lion opened his mouth. This is not only taking advantage of the fire, but also falling into a well.

"Professor Berman, it's too expensive. Our hospital can't afford it."

"Gentlemen," Berman smiled indifferently, "I can come to Zhennan also because of President Chen's face. Now is an extraordinary period, and the success rate of artificial lung manufacturing is not high. As long as this method is effective, it is likely to find the weakness of G virus in the process of reducing the patient's condition. At that time, I will take the opportunity to develop a vaccine, so your central hospital will be equivalent to saving everyone's life. I don't have to say which is more important or less?"

President Chen was so worried that his face changed. He knew what Berman said was the truth, and the artificial lung and clinical surgery technology were all in Berman's hands. He had no bargaining power at all.

Relying only on current medical technology, it is very difficult to stop the spread and find the opportunity to manufacture vaccines. It will take at least a few months. By then, it will have been out of control, and I don't know how many people will die.

No one can afford to wait for this time.

In front of President Chen, Berman is the only solution, but the funds needed are too huge, which has already exceeded his bearing range.

"Professor Berman, you wait for me to report to the superior and see if you can mobilize funds for support. It will take about a day." President Chen smiled bitterly.

"OK, I have plenty of time." Berman smiled disapprovingly, "but let me remind you that once this situation spreads, it will lead to huge riots. It will be too late to control it."

President Chen and others naturally understand this situation, but feel that Berman is too much, but after all, he is not Chinese, and there is nothing wrong with making this decision.

"What should I do?" President Chen called Zhong Yan aside, looking very anxious. Now he can't decide.

Berman can be said to be a trump card held by President Chen. At the same time, this card is also very hot. If it is not used well, it is still a double-edged sword, which is very difficult.

"The patient's situation is not very good. When I came just now, three patients suspected of G virus infection were sent. I'm afraid these patients will cause a commotion and get out of control."

"But Berman's asking price is too expensive. It takes 100 million to save a person. It's unrealistic, okay?"

"Now it's not a question of whether to save people, but whether we can find the gene sequence of G virus and use effective means to prevent it. If we can really use artificial lung to save people, I think it's also a way."

People were whispering, but Berman drank tea calmly and didn't care at all. In his eyes, it was just a deal, not life.

"Berman, you seem to know a lot about this virus?" Just then, Lin Xiao suddenly said something and stunned Berman.

"I'm an expert in infectious diseases. Is it strange to know about G virus?" Berman asked quietly.

"I'm surprised that you came at a coincidence, didn't you?"

"If it weren't for President Chen's warm invitation, do you think I would come here to risk my life?" Berman sneered.

Lin Xiao asked thoughtfully, "I just checked on my mobile phone. You are quite famous. You are a famous expert in infectious diseases in the United States, but you have another identity."

"What do you mean?" Berman's eyes narrowed slightly.

"You are also a biochemist. You worked for the National Defense Research Institute of the United States and conducted biochemical experiments in the Philippines, right?"

"Nonsense!" Berman was angry. "Where did you find the mess? It's nonsense."

"Yo! So responsive? You speak Chinese very smoothly. Do you know so many idioms?" Lin Xiao lost his smile. "I just said it casually. I'll see if you're anxious."

The information Lin Xiao found was only the first half, and the second half was made up temporarily. He wanted to test it, but he didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so fierce.

"Hum!" Berman shook his eyes and stared at Lin Xiao coldly.

Bang bang!

"All right!" Just then, Lin Xiao patted the table and motioned everyone to listen to him.

The people looked at Lin Xiao suspiciously and only listened to the latter's deep voice, "I've listened for a long time, but you still don't have a solution. Let me try."

"Let you try?" Berman immediately sneered, "do you want to play with human life?"

"At least I don't charge, and I just succeeded in saving a patient from coma. Can you?" Lin Xiao retorted.

"I'm just lucky. I also diagnosed that patient. Her immunity is very strong. It's just a timely opportunity to wake up. You're just lucky."

Lin Xiao said dismissively, "good luck and good timing. In short, I let her live. Shut up before you do anything. Do you hear me?"

"You!!!" Professor Berman, who had received such abuse, stood up angrily at that time, "I tell you, Dean Chen invited me back. What are you telling me here?"
