Chapter 579 Vice President of Endoscopy Branch(1/2)
In fact, the logic of capital is very simple, that is, can you create benefits for me?
In other words, can you continue to create benefits for me in the future?
As long as you can continue to create benefits and profits for pharmaceutical companies, even if you spit in the face of other people's capital, they will smile and ask you if you want to spit a second time?
Now that the topic of Helicobacter pylori has been recognized by the international community, whether it is triple therapy or quadruple therapy, the core drugs developed cannot bypass proton pump inhibitors.
As the only manufacturer in the world that can produce proton pump inhibitors (omeprazole), AstraZeneca is destined to make a lot of money.
Not to mention in-house production, even the patent licensing fee is a terrifying figure.
All this is the credit of Chen Qi and Lan Lijuan, especially Lan Lijuan, who is the leader of the entire research group. After three years, she has made huge contributions.
Therefore, rewarding the person in charge of the Helicobacter pylori research team is something that needs to be done immediately.
The two parties had an agreement at the beginning. They would first provide 2 million US dollars in funding. If the project is successful, they would give a private reward of no less than 2 million US dollars. Now it is time to cash in.
That evening, Raye, the vice president of Aslila Pharmaceuticals, personally came to Houston from Sweden and invited Chen Qi, Lan Lijuan, and Professor Segel to dinner.
After the meal, Vice President Reye took two boxes from the secretary and handed them to Lan Lijuan and Professor Segel personally.
"Two professors, this is a little thank you from our company. Thank you for spending only a small amount of US$2 million over the years to conduct such a great scientific research project and help us open up the market for our products.<
/p>
It was a major mistake of our company before that we did not pay enough attention to several professors, so we assure you that if you have any projects in the future, we will definitely give priority to sponsoring them, and the amount will definitely make you have no worries."
Vice President Reye is really ashamed because he knows that his family has received less money.
And he also heard that Lan Lijuan invited many famous Chinese doctors to participate in this project on Helicobacter pylori.
Due to lack of funds, even the experimental equipment was not fully purchased. Even a special refrigerator for the laboratory was purchased. The conditions were too difficult.
The root cause of all this is insufficient funding.
As a result, under such difficult conditions, the research team gave Aslila a big surprise. Even the capitalists felt ashamed and blushed, so they are now rushing to compensate.
Vice President Raye was afraid that there would be good projects in the future, and Aslila would not want to participate.
In fact, Lan Lijuan really wanted to tell him that 2 million US dollars is really not a small amount of money. It has already caused a sensation in the medical circles of China.
Who in the entire country of China is as arrogant as the Helicobacter pylori research team? Has so much money?
Even if others can get 100,000 yuan from a national key research group, they will celebrate with gongs and drums, singing and dancing.
For most poor research groups, if your employer can grant you a few thousand RMB, it’s because your professor or director is too proud. Ordinary people will get as far away as possible when applying for research projects.
Think about when Chen Qi was in Huangtan Health Center and Lan Lijuan was in Fourth Hospital. They wanted to apply for project leadership but were ignored. They all paid for themselves.
The laboratory of the Vietnam-China People's Hospital is indeed a bit crude, but this is already the most advanced laboratory in China. It's not that he doesn't want to buy some equipment, but Chen Qi thinks it's unnecessary.
After all, the money saved belongs to the family...
As for the subsidies given to researchers at all levels of the research group, it is only 20 US dollars per month when converted into US dollars. Remember, it is one month.
As an evil capitalist, Zhou Papi, and a big profiteer, Chen Qi invited a large group of famous young scholars at almost the minimum cost, including Professor Zhang Chunyi who was personally in charge, and only paid 500 yuan a month.<
/p>
But what Vice President Raye doesn’t know is that the monthly income of ordinary doctors in China in the 1980s was only a few dozen yuan, and if Lan Lijuan gave an extra US$20 a month as a subsidy, it would be a good opportunity to be robbed.<
/p>
Due to different national conditions, the information from both parties was not treated, which also led to misjudgment by the Swedish investors, who thought they owed Lan Lijuan, the person in charge.
In fact, even after three years, Chen Qi and Lan Lijuan were burning money like crazy, and only $1 million of the $2 million budget was spent.
The remaining 1 million is privately owned by Chen Qi and Lan Lijuan.
Only then did Chen Qi understand why so many professors in later generations liked to apply for projects, and why professors could live in villas, drive luxury cars, and have mistresses. It was because these professors' ability to attract money was too strong.
The salary from the school is not taken into account at all.
Taking the box from Vice President Raye, Professor Segel handed it to his assistant nonchalantly:
"Leye, actually you should thank Lan and Chen very much. My role in the research group is not that big. To put it bluntly, I should be the one who got involved in Lan and Chen's research, so in the end I have to say
My thanks."
Lan Lijuan was a little embarrassed when she took the box, and her face became even redder.
In terms of her simple outlook on life, it is really shameful to cheat half of the research team of a pharmaceutical company for a total of 1 million US dollars.
What was even worse was that she had to accept their thanks after defrauding others of their money, which made her conscience very uneasy:
"President Raye, I can't accept this money anymore. You and your company have already given us too much help."
Chen Qi saw that his wife was inexperienced and hadn't figured out the rules of the game yet. It would be a big loss if she refused, so he took the box with a smile:
"President Raye, Professor Segel, the three parties we are carrying out this project are mutually helping each other and a win-win situation, so don't be polite. If there are better projects in the future, we can continue to cooperate."
p>
Chen Qi weighed the box a few times and found that it was very light. There seemed to be nothing in it. It was definitely not a box of money anyway.
Vice President Raye laughed loudly after hearing this: "Of course, you three will always be our Aslila's good friends."
Professor Segel also patted Chen Qi heavily on the shoulder:
"Don't worry, Chen. I will definitely support you and Dr. Lan in this WGO general election."
After returning to the hotel, Chen Qi couldn't wait to open the box. Inside was a Swedish Bank of Sweden check with a number written on it.
Chen Qi counted and then exclaimed: "Oh, Lan Lijuan, you are rich, 5 million US dollars."
Lan Lijuan ran over quickly, picked up the check and was shocked when she saw it:
"What should I do with so much money? Is it illegal? Should I report it to the organization?"
In Lan Lijuan's mind, she belongs to the country, and the research team also belongs to the country, so the money should also belong to the country.
At least she is not like a certain dean who puts all the money in his pocket. Even the Ministry of Health knows that this "thirsty money" is known and there is nothing he can do about it.
Chen Qi burst out laughing when he heard his wife's worries:
"Lijuan, this money does not belong to the research group, but is a personal thank you from the pharmaceutical company. Legally speaking, it is a private gift. At most, you have to pay some personal income tax, but our country does not have such a tax, so this money belongs to you.
One person’s.”
When she heard that there was no problem with the law, Lan Lijuan's face turned a little red and she was very excited.
Who doesn’t like money?
Thinking about the days when Lan Lijuan had a bowl of rice and a free serving of vegetable soup when she was a student, and then looking at the check of 5 million US dollars in her hand, it felt like a lifetime ago.
"Chen Qi, what do you want to do with this money?"
Chen Qi thought for a moment and took the initiative to help her assign:
"The money belongs to you and our family, so I will help you invest it and continue to buy U.S. stocks. In addition, we will also use part of the money to give 10,000 yuan to each staff member involved in the research and to Professor Zhang Chunyi.
Buy a Crown car.
In addition, your natal brother is already 18 years old and will start a family in a few years. You should give 100,000 yuan to your mother and ask her to keep it for your brother to marry in the future. They are too embarrassed to take the son-in-law’s money, but their daughter’s money.
You can always take the money, right?"
Before getting married, mother-in-law Shi Ajiao was very picky and picky with Chen Qi. She didn't like everything she looked at. She thought the mountain people had abducted her daughter and made her suffer.
As a result, after getting married, the mother-in-law turned out to be the most courageous one. Probably because she was afraid that her daughter would be wronged in her husband's family, she didn't take any of the money Chen Qi sent, not even the new year's money.
Later, Chen Qi had no other choice, so he demolished the Lan family's dilapidated house and built three three-story houses for them in the village, which are also known as "grand mansions".
In name, Lan Lijuan paid for her brother's future wife out of her own pocket, so Shi Atiao accepted it.
Now that Lan Lijuan has earned 6 million US dollars alone, how much money can she make even if she becomes a "little brother-supporting demon"?
Lan Lijuan was very moved when she heard that her husband was thinking about her natal family:
"Okay, I'll listen to you, let's arrange it like this."
This night, Dr. Lan became particularly proactive, and Chen Qi unlocked a few more positions, which was considered a night of sexual bliss...
On April 15, 1989, the 15th World Congress of Gastroenterology came to an end.
Lan Lijuan became a member of the WGO Society.
Chen Qi went a step further and directly became a director of the WGO Society and the vice president of the Digestive Endoscopy Branch.
Professor Grace's original plan was for Chen Qi to directly become the president of the Digestive Endoscopy Branch, but there were so many people who opposed it that he finally had to compromise.
But this is the best in the world.
Chen Qi is the youngest director of medical organizations at all levels in the world and the youngest president of a medical association.
At the same time, he is China’s second vice-president of an international medical society after Professor Wu Mengchao was elected as vice-president of the International Society of Hepatology. For the medical circle, this cannot be overstated.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, the news broadcast that Chen Qi and Lan Lijuan were elected as WGO directors and committee members, causing an uproar in the national medical community.
Chen Qi and Lan Lijuan could not hear the uproar in the country, but Chen Qi and Lan Lijuan felt the uproar in the hotel.
For example, now, in the hotel where WGO is located, Chen Qi, facing a group of old men and women, can only look at the sky and pretend not to hear anything.
There is a smell of vinegar in the conference room, it smells sour no matter how you smell it.
