71: Chapter 71 High-Level Meeting, New R&D Project

...

People from Switzerland had a very distinct characteristic: arrogance. If they had also achieved something in their industry, they often carried an air of looking down on everyone else.

Just like the already conceited Xiao Hamaide.

Lin Fang could understand. When he had first obtained the world's top-tier technology, he had even felt like the king of the world.

Sigh, it was all just an illusion.

"BOSS, you might not realize my importance to the company. The world-renowned cervical cancer-specific CAR-T cell therapy was proposed by me..."

Facing the gazes in the meeting room, Xiao Hamaide's face flushed red as he spoke with great indignation, "You should know, more than one international company has wanted to hire me."

"I see. Mr. Xiao Hamaide is indeed very outstanding,"

The black-haired young man in the main seat nodded in agreement upon hearing this. Just as Xiao Hamaide secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Fang spoke again.

"I hope the next company will still offer Mr. Xiao Hamaide an annual salary of 20 million Switzerland francs."

Damn, getting paid that much and still liking to run your mouth. Not going over there to slap you twice already counts as me being magnanimous.

"You..."

Xiao Hamaide's expression turned extremely ugly. Seeing that none of his colleagues seemed inclined to speak up either, he gave a cold snort and directly left the room.

"A ridiculous company."

——

The meeting room fell quiet.

Lin Fang looked at the somewhat uncomfortable CEO beside him and smiled gently. He could understand why Xu Anqing had offered such a high salary. For the company, retaining a world-renowned scientist was indeed important.

But in Lin Fang's opinion, there was no need to keep a vase that only rested on its past laurels, especially one that looked down on its owner.

Lin Fang's gaze returned to the meeting room, especially focusing on the leaders of several other key projects. The company's predecessor was a Research Institute specializing in cancer and genetic diseases, so naturally, it had taken over all that business. Several new drugs were under development.

After screening, they seemed fine.

Lin Fang decided to stop pretending. He said, "I will suspend the company's current R&D projects."

"BOSS, you can't do this..."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the meeting room widened their eyes, looking at Lin Fang with disbelief. Several leaders from the R&D department even jumped to their feet.

Watching the drama only to find it land on their own heads.

Facing the commotion, Lin Fang raised his hand, signaling for them to be quiet. "This isn't abandonment. After you complete the new project I'm assigning you, funding will be allocated for you to continue your research."

"After signing the electronic confidentiality agreement, the Star Hub system will issue the new research objectives. You'll understand once you return to your labs."

But these words did little to calm everyone's mood.

An elderly man in a white lab coat, with an ordinary face, said solemnly, "Mr. Lin, I need to understand why you're doing this. Otherwise, I won't agree to the company's arrangements."

Lin Fang's gaze turned to him.

"Mr. Delison, your achievements in biomedicine are admirable. The PD-L1 targeted drug development you led is truly a boon for preventing hereditary cancers."

"But I can tell you directly, what I'm giving you is technical data capable of completely curing Liver Cancer and other poorly differentiated Liver Cancers. If successful, patients with these two cancers will regain New Life."

Lin Fang's gaze was warm. This kind of talent with a strong spirit of inquiry was exactly what he needed.

"Mr. Lin, what did you say!"

Delison was greatly shocked, utterly unable to believe what the young man had said. The others in the meeting room also looked astonished, their expressions full of disbelief.

None of the people present were novices. If these two cancers were conquered, it would be a monumental breakthrough in medical history, shaking the past and illuminating the present. The millions of new patients worldwide each year would be pulled back from the abyss of despair to the shore of hope.

Lin Fang didn't want to explain further. He said directly:

"The same goes for everyone else. In your respective fields of expertise, I have provided new research projects. Please return to your labs for the specific information."

"If you still cannot accept it then, new personnel will replace you in your positions."

It was only specific drugs for a dozen or so terminal illnesses. Lin Fang actually felt that Mite was underutilized staying at headquarters and had decided to transfer him here to develop new projects. He was already on his way.

Hmm...

Clearly, he had still been too cautious.

Only after everyone had left the meeting room did Xu Anqing emerge from her internal shock. Compared to the others, she understood better that Lin Fang's words were not false.

She had already developed a blind faith in Lin Fang.

Precisely because of this, Xu Anqing felt that Third-Party Technology was already standing at the forefront, on the crest of the wave. The slightest misstep could lead to being swallowed by a giant wave.

Thinking of the scene of jackals and wolves circling all around, the young CEO couldn't help but breathe rapidly.

Seeing this, Lin Fang asked, puzzled, "What's wrong with you?"

Xu Anqing, who had been thinking about how to trample Johnson & Johnson and decisively defeat Pfizer, was jolted awake. Looking at Lin Fang, she said dazedly,

"Boss, I'm just overly happy."

[Mag Delison, access granted.]

After verifying his fingerprint and iris, Delison quickly walked back to his laboratory. Although he didn't believe the young leader's words, the curiosity and exploratory desire of a researcher made him turn on his computer.

The system had indeed issued him a new research project. To be honest, this Star Hub system was the most advanced management system Delison had ever seen.

From this alone, one could tell the company was not simple.

Looking at the confidentiality agreement on the screen, Delison directly scrolled to the bottom and signed it. The page instantly refreshed, revealing over a hundred pages of technical summaries.

Delison began to review them methodically.

"Huh? You can actually do it this way..."

The elderly man's expression rapidly shifted from focused seriousness to stunned disbelief, then to eagerness, and finally to a kind of fervor.

Several other top researchers were experiencing the same thing. They never would have imagined that every word Lin Fang said in the meeting was true. Each piece of information here could empower a company to rise powerfully, becoming a new star in the industry.

And now there were over a dozen such projects. Did the company want to turn the entire pharmaceutical world upside down?!

——

While these few were still practically dancing with excitement, a black-haired young man, having donned protective gear, also entered a laboratory, ready to begin his own research.

A new batch of Clones was already being cultivated in the underground hive.

Lin Fang had once discussed with Isaac their method of controlling Clones. It involved implanting thoughts and memories during the embryonic stage, before consciousness formed, to ensure loyalty to the company.

But perhaps influenced by a certain female protagonist, Lin Fang did not plan for the Third-Party Technology's Clone forces to possess independent thought. He intended to adopt another method: chip control.

And the related biochip technology was also stored in his personal repository.

Simply perfect.
