Sunday morning, close to eleven o'clock.
Lin Jie was outside the operating room when he t more than a dozen people who had rushed over from Binhai International Airport, led by Warner Morris, chairman of Morris Industrial Group and Elenna's father.
Warner held Elenna's hand tightly as she lay on the gurney, and asked with concern, "Dr. Lin, this surgery for my daughter?"
"It's just a minor surgery, it won't take more than an hour and a half, and the possibility of an accident is very small!"
Lin Jie then briefly explained the surgical procedure and pointed to Ouyang Zhizhen beside him, introducing, "Mr. Warner, this is Ouyang Zhizhen, the head of our intelligent dical research and developnt project."
"While you're waiting patiently, you can et and get to know each other first."
After introducing both parties, Lin Jie and Elenna entered the operating room together.
Elenna lay on the operating table, watching Lin Jie prepare beside her, and said, "Dr. Lin, I am also very much looking forward to the cooperation between our two companies this ti, and I hope it will succeed smoothly."
Lin Jie smiled and replied softly, "I also have great hopes."
Elenna hesitated a little, then said, "I know, Dr. Lin, you've invested a lot of effort in converting data of different formats into 3D laser projection application analysis software and have high hopes for it."
"However, through discussions with my father and several key people in the company, I found that they are not very enthusiastic about this application analysis software."
"In other words, the role of this application analysis software in Morris Industrial can be said to be negligible."
This news was quite surprising to Lin Jie.
He had originally planned to use this application software to demonstrate his team's technical strength and to act as a stepping stone to impress Morris Industrial.
Unexpectedly, Elenna ca right out and delivered a blow,
after all, it was an investnt of tens of millions.
Lin Jie asked with concern, "Elenna, do you an that your Morris Industrial has already developed similar application software?"
"No!"
Elenna sighed softly and said, "Dr. Lin, you can see that this application software has broad application prospects, so how could we not see it with all our technical research staff?"
"The reason for the low investnt in this software developnt, my father told , is mainly due to pressure from competitors and monopoly companies in the industry!"
"Pressure from competitors and monopolies?" Lin Jie was a bit puzzled.
Elenna nodded and explained, "Manufacturers of ultrasound instrunts, X-ray equipnt, CT machines, and so on, their devices have already been used in hospitals worldwide and hold a dominant position."
"They can upgrade their equipnt, prompting hospitals to purchase better, more advanced ultrasound machines, X-ray machines, CT machines to replace outdated equipnt."
"However..."
Elenna said heavily, "They will absolutely not allow the ergence of new devices that could replace these existing ones."
"Once such a research device appears, it will definitely face suppression and termination from these manufacturers."
Lin Jie was a bit stunned and asked, "Are they so overbearing that they don't allow new inventions to co out?"
Elenna nodded, saying, "In the end, it's all about interests."
"Just upgrading old products, the existing production lines and equipnt can still be used, and hospitals will phase out old model equipnt, naturally making these manufacturers happy."
"But producing an entirely new replacent product requires significant investnt and risk."
"Unless absolutely necessary, manufacturers in a monopoly and dominant position won't actively replace old products with new ones."
Elenna further revealed, "Dr. Lin, you may not know, but every company occupying a monopoly and dominant position has a special technical departnt."
"The responsibility of this technical departnt is mainly to collect research information and patents related to its products worldwide."
"When they discover research that poses potential damage or intense competition to the company's products, they either buy out the research results and shelve them or sabotage the progress of the research or experints."
Elenna paused and said, "Dr. Lin, let give you an extre example."
"Suppose you invent a cure-all drug for AIDS, do you think pharmaceutical companies would be happy or unhappy?"
Lin Jie was taken aback and said, following Elenna's logic, "They probably wouldn't be happy."
"A patient who requires long-term use of various dications to control their AIDS condition generates far more profits for pharmaceutical companies than selling a cure-all drug."
Elenna chuckled lightly and said, "So, there's a conspiracy theory circulating online."
"It claims that for diseases like AIDS and diabetes, several pharmaceutical giants already have cure thods or miracle drugs."
"However, to protect their continuous enormous profits, these treatnts or miracle drugs are sealed away."
Lin Jie couldn't help but laugh, "Judging by your conjecture, should I be extra cautious when I go out?"
"My experintal therapy might potentially affect the interests of one or several pharmaceutical giants significantly."
"They might humanely terminate ."
Elenna also laughed and said, "Dr. Lin, you really should be careful."
"If your research results cause a pharmaceutical giant to suffer a loss of hundreds of millions, or even billions of pounds or dollars a year, they might resort to extre asures."
"Not to ntion interests of billions, even tens of millions can drive so people mad."
Lin Jie nonchalantly said, "I'll be cautious. To be honest, I already have a bodyguard!"
"Alright, we're about to start the surgery. Do you choose general anesthesia or local anesthesia..."
At eleven sixteen, the surgery officially began.
Elenna chose local anesthesia, and as she lay on her side on the operating table, she could still clearly chat with Lin Jie...
At twelve-thirty in the afternoon, the surgery ended.
After leaving the operating room, Lin Jie relayed the information he obtained from Elenna to Ouyang Zhizhen.
However, all the negotiation work was ready, and now, they could only proceed step by step.
After lunch, Lin Jie received a call from Skeller, far away in the United Kingdom.
"Dr. Lin, has the surgery ended? What about the paper?"
Lin Jie chuckled, "Dr. Skeller, you seem more eager than I am."
"The surgery just ended not long ago, and I've almost finished writing the paper."
"Once I organize today's surgery data and postoperative inspection data and supplent it, it should be done."
"I should be able to send it to you tonight."
Skeller's voice over the phone was clearly excited, "That's fantastic."
"I've already reserved a space in this issue of 'The Lancet.' Today, I'll be waiting for your paper all along."
"Dr. Lin, I heard that Mr. Felix's brain tumor developnt also aligns well with your expectations?"
Lin Jie explained, "It's alright."
"A traction device has been implanted in Felix's tumor, and the rest is just waiting..."
At five in the afternoon, Lin Jie conducted a detailed postoperative examination on Elenna.
Upon learning that his daughter's postoperative condition was all well, and she could return ho in a few days, Warner happily told Lin Jie that Morris Industrial ca with sincerity this ti, and the cooperation negotiations would officially begin at nine the next morning.
Close to eleven thirty in the evening, Lin Jie reviewed the paper he had completed once more and, finding no issues, lightly pressed the enter key.
Seeing the computer screen display "sent successfully," Lin Jie felt a sense of relief.
He closed the computer, stood up, yawned largely, and was about to rest in his bedroom when Shen Lanruo's deep voice echoed in his mind, "A-Jie, you should take seriously what Elenna said to you during the surgery."
Lin Jie confird, "Sister Lanruo, what part are you referring to?"
Shen Lanruo intensely warned, "If you harm the pharmaceutical giants' enormous interests, they could truly resort to extre asures."
"This... that doesn't seem possible, does it?" Lin Jie was still unwilling to believe it.
Shen Lanruo snorted coldly and said, "I used to have the sa naive thoughts as you. But after hearing what Elenna said today, and linking it to incidents that happened to colleagues and myself..."
"A-Jie, I now strongly suspect..."
"That the accident that happened to might really not have been an accident..."
