January 15, 1987, half a month before the Lunar New Year.

Chen Qi took off from Freetown Airport, headed to Frankfurt in Europe, and then transferred to San Francisco, the United States, to attend the "World Congress of Surgery" held there.

The air tickets were paid for by the Japanese Sysmex Genetic Testing Company.

Sitting on the plane, Chen Qi, wearing glasses, had been reading the latest paper "Discovery and Research of Giant Guinea Worm" from China-Serbia Friendship Hospital.

In this paper, Chinese doctors conducted a comprehensive screening of Nguema's tribe and several nearby tribes, and also found Guinea worm in water sources and local livestock.

Then the entire chain of infection is formed, which also makes the paper's data detailed, the investigation comprehensive, and the research complete. It is definitely a high-quality paper.

Of course, Chen Qi and his colleagues were not sure whether it was a new species of nematode, so he brought 10 specimens to mold country this time and wanted to ask professional infectious disease experts to identify them.

If it is confirmed to be a new species, the paper can be submitted directly to the four major medical journals, and almost half a month of hard investigation and research by the Chinese Medical Team will not be in vain.

The plane was heading north, and when it passed Frankfurt, Yuto Takada, the boss of Sysmex Genetic Testing Company, was already waiting in advance.

The reason why Takada Yuto was planning to take a long way from Europe to the United States was to meet Chen Qi in advance to discuss some matters.

The paper "Genetic Testing in the Diagnosis of Children's Lung Cancer" previously collaborated by both parties has been published in the "New England Journal of Medicine", and with the intentional promotion of Sysmex, it has suddenly attracted great attention in the surgical community.

Any new technology is a great discovery.

Genetic testing is used to trace the origin of cancer and clarify the source of malignant tumors. Chen Qi's neonatal lung cancer is definitely the first of its kind in the world.

In fact, the reason is very simple. Previously, the mainstream accepted by the medical community was malignant tumors, which means that cancer is impossible to transmit.

However, Chen Qi used genetic testing methods to infer the cancer genes in the mother and compared them with the cancer genes in the newborns, and concluded that cancer cells can be directly transmitted from mother to child.

Then we can further speculate that, in addition to lung cancer, is it possible for other cancers to be "directly transmitted"?

This brand-new discovery can be said to have directly subverted the original knowledge in textbooks, making surgeons all over the world full of interest and curiosity about the unknown.

Therefore, the preparatory committee of the "World Congress of Surgery in San Francisco" has sent a special invitation letter to Chen Qi, asking Chen Qi to give a keynote speech on this paper and the prospects of future clinical applications of genetic testing.

This is an incredible honor.

You must know that the "World Congress of Surgery" (WCS) is the general organization of all surgical societies. It is held every two years. Almost 1,000 top surgeons from around the world will participate in the conference.

Surgeons who speak at each meeting are even rarer. Generally, a second-level society only allows 10 minutes of speech. Unless a technology owner with outstanding innovations has a chance to take the stage.

Chen Qi is no stranger to this "World Congress of Surgery". He attended this conference in West Germany a few years ago.

At this conference, Chen Qi gave two speeches on behalf of the ICPF Society and the FSSH Society. He became famous in one battle and was finally elected as a double director.

Then he earned nearly a million dollars in knife flying fees, which were almost confiscated after returning to China. It was this own incident that contributed to Chen Qi's direct appointment from the vice president to the president of the Fourth Hospital of Vietnam and China.

Therefore, it is said, "Misfortune lies where blessings depend, and blessing lies where misfortune lies." Crisis and opportunity both coexist. It depends on whether you can grasp it.

Chen Qi pushed the luggage trolley and as soon as he reached the exit, he saw the excited Yuuto Takada waving.

"Hi, President Takada, long time no see."

However, Yuuto Takada stepped forward and gave Chen Qi a warm hug, which is rare among introverted Japanese.

"Dr. Chen, I'm so happy to see you again. You are a great doctor. This time, the promotion of our Sysmex genetic testing company will be left to you."

Takada Yuuto never dreamed that his act of casting a wide net and catching more fish would actually catch him a big fish.

Although he was optimistic about a "sponsorship" that he didn't have high hopes for, it actually went straight to the top international surgical conference. The US$500,000 spent was absolutely worth it.

Even Takada Yuuto is worried about gains and losses. He used to think that giving the Chinese US$500,000 was already a huge sum of money, but now it seems that US$500,000 is very unsafe.

Because the cooperation project between Chen Qi and Sysmex Genetic Testing Company is just a project, the subsequent continued cooperation is only an intention and no formal contract has been signed.

For example, when Nipro Company in Japan cooperates with Chen Qi, they directly sign long-term contracts and pay a "sponsorship fee" every year. This is a long-term cooperation and an exclusive cooperation.

If Chen Qi shines at the "World Congress of Surgery" this time and is targeted by other genetic testing giants, little Sysmex may not be able to compete with them.

Therefore, Yuuto Takada personally rushed to Frankfurt this time, one of which was to discuss the speech script with Chen Qi in advance to try to get as many exposure opportunities for the company as possible.

More importantly, he wanted to express to Chen Qi the importance Sysmex Genetic Testing Company places on him, as well as Yuto Takada’s personal friendship.

Chen Qi also responded enthusiastically and hugged him hard:

"Mr. Takada's face is glowing. He must have encountered something good recently. Let me guess, did he meet a beautiful modern girl in Frankfurt?"

"What is a modern girl? Now I only have eyes for you."

"Hey, I don't like men. I prefer Miss Yamaguchi Momoe from your country."

"Hahaha~~~"

Talking about women makes it easier to narrow the distance between men. With the support of their assistants, the two of them walked out of the airport.

Chen Qi and Takada Yuto need to stay in Frankfurt for a day to discuss Chen Qi's speech at the World Congress of Surgery.

Doctors and sponsors often complement each other and achieve mutual success, but sometimes there will be some conflicts.

For example, sponsors always hope that doctors will talk about the quality of medicines or medical devices just like live broadcasts, and they will say it repeatedly. It is best to say it in a colorful way to strengthen the audience's impression.

But as a doctor with a certain status, I think it’s okay if you sponsor the money, and I can also mention your names in speeches or papers, but it will only be invisible advertising and cannot affect the overall feel of the paper or speech.

.

For example, a doctor can say, I met such a patient in clinical practice, and then I gave him some medicines, and the effect was certain.

In this way, the professional doctors sitting below will naturally understand that you are promoting a certain medicine, otherwise they would not specifically name it. Everyone knows it, and the advertisement is completed.

But you ask doctors to say that such-and-such medicine is really good when giving academic conferences or speeches, and that such-and-such medicine has special effects on a certain disease. Don’t miss it if you pass by.

This is a TV commercial promotion and is Shandong Satellite TV’s favorite program.

Such advertisements are very low, and such doctors are also very low. Such products will only give people an even lower impression, so ordinary doctors are very disgusted with this kind of publicity.

After all, the mainstream is medicine, not advertising.

It cannot be like the TV series of later generations broadcasting "Huan Zhuge Ge". The TV series is played for 5 minutes and the advertisements are inserted for 10 minutes. This is putting the cart before the horse. This is clearly interspersing TV series with commercials, not just placing a few advertisements in the TV series.

In the living room of the airport hotel suite:

Yuto Takada pointed to a certain place in the manuscript and said:

"Dr. Chen, I suggest that in this place, we can focus on highlighting the unique advantages of our company Sysmex in chromosome analysis."

Chen Qi shook his head:

"Chromosome analysis is not only done by Sysmex. If I say so bluntly that your company has exclusive advantages, I'm afraid I will be resented by major genetic testing companies tomorrow."

"Dr. Chen, I think we can make some changes here. Instead of Sysmex initially analyzing the results within a week, it would be better to get the results within 3 days. This will better demonstrate the efficiency and proficiency of our work."

"No, no, actually, I'm very satisfied with the results you got in one week. Besides, it only takes 3 days. I'm afraid I'll be struck by lightning when I go out."

"Dr. Chen, I think you should highlight the key points here..."

The two sides exchanged words for a long time, but no one could convince the other.

Except for a small part that Chen Qi revised, the entire speech is almost the same as the original manuscript. Dean Chen still has the bottom line.

However, after the two parties had dinner, when Yuto Takada placed a check for US$200,000 in front of Chen Qi, Chen Qi coughed lightly:

"This, I don't do it because of money, I mainly think that Sysmex has more experience in genetic testing, and we are very good partners..."

Yuuto Takada is a capitalist, and he understands the role of "money power" very well, so he doesn't play tricks when he comes up.

"Dr. Chen, this check is only for your service at this World Congress of Surgery. In addition, we can continue to cooperate. Sysmex will definitely provide the maximum sponsorship to ensure that you and your research team

Satisfied!"

"Okay, then we will have a happy cooperation."

The two shook hands and nothing was said.

In this way, Chen Qi finally adopted half of Takada Yuto's opinions and revised the speech script, mentioning a few more words about "Sysmex Corporation".

Having accomplished this, Yuto Takada is already very satisfied. After all, he is the first person to dare to try something new. Without this long-term vision, he would not have started this genetic testing company.

The next day, Chen Qi got on the flight to San Francisco again.

Chen Qi had never been to the Bad Country in his previous life, and it was the first time in his two lives that he came to this country where people were shot every day, oh no, it was free every day. He was still very curious.

When passing through customs, when Chen Qi took out his Chinese passport, it was obvious that the border inspector's brows were frowning.

"Sir, may I ask you about the purpose of coming to China? You got a business visa. Do you have an invitation letter?"

There were a lot of questions at the beginning. If Chen Qi hadn't passed the test in English, or if he hesitated a little, he would have been locked in a small dark room?

Chen Qi smiled. There is no need to be angry or hurt your self-esteem at this time. When your country becomes stronger, its citizens will naturally be treated fairly.

Only the weak can talk. Do you really think that the American customs officer is a doctor, letting you beat and scold you? The patrol policeman next to him really knows how to draw his gun, and he will never be polite.

Chen Qi took out the invitation letter for the World Congress of Surgery from his bag:

"Hello, I am a doctor from China. This time I am coming to San Francisco to attend the World Congress of Surgery."

"Are you a doctor? A surgeon?"

Another customs officer next to him said in surprise:

"There have been many experts from various countries participating in surgical conferences in the past few days, but I have never seen a surgeon as young as you. Oh my god, or are you yellow people whose age and appearance don't match up?"
