"I think that Fan Lei is also a highly talented individual, but it probably has nothing to do with mathematics. Maybe it’s ..."
"It must be a joke made by Professor Qiu for everyone!"
In the end, Zhao Yi still attributed the reason to Qiu Chengwen, because the facts were indeed so.
anwhile.
Qiu Chengwen’s mood wasn’t very good. He had been paying close attention to dostic public opinion and found that everyone blad him, even he himself thought it was his fault.
Of course, he also partly blad Fan Lei and Zhou Li.
"Fan Lei is not a mathematical genius, not even a mathematician. Why not say it earlier? Then I wouldn’t have misunderstood."
"And Professor Zhou Li, why didn’t you remind earlier?"
These were thoughts he could only keep to himself for the ti being.
Now in dostic public opinion, many people took the matter as a joke. So netizens even created s with animated gifs of his interview, paired with the caption, "I think you are a mathematics genius!"
What irony!
Qiu Chengwen cursed inwardly countless tis, feeling as if his personal image was almost gone, so he decided not to return to the country for the ti being and to stay in India a bit longer to interact more with fellow mathematicians.
...
A week later.
Wucheng Pharmaceutical Factory released international shaking news that a Tianqing Protein dication was officially on the market.
This dication, nad ’Tianqing Phenylamine,’ had gone through several rounds of testing, and according to the released information, it worked very well for patients in the latent stage of AIDS. Theoretically, it could indefinitely extend the latency period, aning that as long as patients continued taking the dication, they could maintain their level of immune function for a long ti.
Of course, the side effects were not minor.
Taking the dication would exacerbate the immune response in the body, causing adults to have a fever for about one to three days. But considering the average AIDS patient only needs to take it once to three tis a month, and considering there are no alternative dications on the market, the side effects were not seen as a problem.
The launch of this dication was major news at ho and abroad. Many international dia held negative views about the drug’s effectiveness, probably because Wucheng Pharmaceutical Factory had an absolute monopoly, with the drug being a purely dostic product with full intellectual property rights and only able to be manufactured dostically. Naturally, it wasn’t welcod in Western countries, especially because its launch had a significant impact on them. Several Western pharmaceutical companies developing AIDS dications were greatly affected.
For AIDS patients, this was incredibly good news.
Patients in the latency stage of AIDS could now use immune-enhancing drugs to indefinitely extend the latency period, theoretically living a lifeti without the disease manifesting.
Of course, the precondition was continuous dication.
The price of ’Tianqing Phenylamine’ was not considered affordable—the cost of each dosage was about five hundred yuan, which was not expensive compared to high-priced drugs, but considering lifelong dication, the cost was quite significant.
Even so, the dication was broadly sought after. Wucheng Pharmaceutical Factory was producing it at full capacity but still couldn’t keep up with the demand, and there were also a large number of orders from abroad.
This was good news for Wucheng Pharmaceutical Factory, as well as for the Biodical Research Institute, because the Biodical Research Institute had a share in the patent revenue from Tianqing Protein dication.
Wucheng Pharmaceutical Factory was an international large-scale pharmaceutical manufacturer, whereas the Biodical Research Institute was rely a research organization. Even as a national key research institution, it had a limited number of personnel. The revenue from the patent royalties was enough to free the Biodical Research Institute from worrying about funding for research and developnt for the next ten or twenty years.
But the Biodical Research Institute’s benefit wasn’t just monetary; it also included major fa. Many pharmaceutical companies and dical institutions approached the Institute for collaborative research and developnt, and funding sponsorships could be described as "never-ending".
Money, that was the confidence!
Director Yan Xuelin beca arrogant overnight, just as the new dical Science Center’s equipnt purchases were happening. Faced with a multitude of applications from researchers and laboratories, he didn’t even look closely before carelessly waving his hand, "Approved!"
"Approved!"
"And approved again!"
The Biodical Research Institute was wealthy and eager to ’buy, buy, buy.’ All the equipnt purchased was internationally cutting-edge. Many pieces of equipnt that once seed luxurious—only the central laboratories were equipped with them—were now available in any qualified laboratory. The central laboratory planned for the dical Science Center even got equipped with a large server.
When the server, worth millions, was being installed, Wei Shiqing happened to be inspecting the laboratory allocated to microbiological research. He asked Fan Lei, who was supervising the work with a hint of confusion, "What is this for?"
"Installing a server!" Fan Lei replied.
"A server? Why so many?" Wei Shiqing didn’t understand servers too well, just watching machine after machine being brought in, "What kind of server is it?"
"I don’t really understand either, but... it seems to have cost more than nine million!"
"How much?"
"More than nine million yuan. Servers are expensive!" Fan Lei said, as if it were obvious.
Wei Shiqing was stunned, "No, no, Fan Lei, your dical Research Institute conducts dical research. What do you need such a large server for? And it cost over nine million..."
Fan Lei said, "I heard from Director Yan that it’s supposed to be used to store data. If we want to expand the Institute’s website in the future, we won’t have to rent servers... I don’t understand it all myself."
