Chapter 584 The Arrogant Representative of Sinovac
He Jiankui, perhaps not many people know him now.
He received his Bachelor of Science degree in Modern Physics in 2006 and subsequently studied in the United States.
He received his Ph.D. in biophysics from Rice University in 2010, taking only 3 years and 8 months.
From 2011 to 2012, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher in Stephen Quick's lab at Stanford University in the United States.
He returned to China in 2012 and became the youngest associate professor at Southern University of Science and Technology. His research focuses on immune repertoire sequencing, personalized medicine, bioinformatics, and systems biology.
He has published several papers in journals such as Scientific Reports and Science Translational Medicine.
They also proposed a modularity law in biological evolution, centered around the concept of "modularity."
In July 2017, he led his team to claim that they had developed a third-generation gene sequencer that was "first in Asia and leading in the world".
In the field of biological genetics, he can be considered one of the top scientists of Chinese descent.
Even during his postdoctoral years at Stanford, his main job was to "customize offspring" for the wealthy.
It wasn't until 2018, when the first gene-edited baby incident in China broke out, that He Jiankui's name came into the public eye.
This incident has sparked huge ethical controversy and widespread public attention.
He Jiankui was also sentenced to three years in prison and fined RMB 3 million for practicing medicine without a license.
Therefore, when Yingdie requested gene editing or enhancement, the first person Vice Hall Master Wei thought of was He Jiankui.
However, Meng Chuan was unaware of all of this.
Having been "hurt" by Yingdie, Meng Chuan immediately went to Liu Qian for comfort.
Only Liu Qian could comfort Meng Chuan.
Because Blood Rakshasa is already several months pregnant.
She now radiates maternal love.
She spends her days cradling her belly and learning all sorts of parenting knowledge.
There was simply no time to pay attention to Meng Chuan.
This made Meng Chuan increasingly feel that women are truly fickle creatures.
Before she got pregnant, all she could think about was her man.
But once a woman is pregnant, the man becomes dispensable.
Liu Qian is another one.
Now I have a child and a career.
As a result, people paid less and less attention to Meng Chuan.
Meng Chuan was the only one with nothing to do.
In the quiet of one night, Meng Chuan even had the idea of finding another woman to soothe his sometimes monotonous nightlife.
Of course, this idea only flashed through my mind.
Meng Chuan quickly put an end to the thought.
Because he has so many women, and each of them is going to bear him children.
If this continues, sooner or later he won't even know who his child is.
Moreover, even a woman like Yingdie would ignore him when she was pregnant.
If I find another one, I won't be able to hold onto him for long before I forget about him.
When Meng Chuan arrived at Fuxing University.
Ye Xiao personally greeted Meng Chuan:
"President Liu is in a meeting. It's about Sinovac Biotech wanting to jointly establish a virus research institute with our Fuxing University."
Ye Xiao lowered her voice and said to Meng Chuan:
"However, their attitude was not very good, and they even questioned our research capabilities. They were also unwilling to share their previous research results with us."
"Simply put, they want us to contribute money, but they don't want us to participate."
Ye Xiao spoke with some resentment.
Many schools and even pharmaceutical companies are now flocking to cooperate with Fu-Hsing University.
Private pharmaceutical companies, in particular, are skeptical of the research capabilities of the newly established Fu-Hsing University.
As for why they still want to cooperate with Fu-Hsing University.
the reason is simple.
Now everyone in the country knows that Meng Chuan is a very wealthy man.
Moreover, he's the kind of wealthy, extravagant spendthrift.
Meng Chuan dared to invest a trillion yuan in the city of entrepreneurial dreams.
That was real money being deposited into the government's regulated account.
Instead of exaggerated slogans.
The county government has already publicly announced that one trillion yuan has been received.
Therefore, everyone wanted to get a piece of the pie.
Or to put it bluntly, they want to scam some money.
In their view, Fuxing University currently has nothing.
They desperately need various titles to bolster their image.
They are willing to come and establish a research institute with Fu-Hsing University to add some hype to the university.
Fu-Hsing University should be extremely grateful and obediently invest money.
Sinovac Biotech came to negotiate with this mindset.
"Is that so? I'll go take a look."
As Meng Chuan spoke, he headed towards the conference room door.
When Meng Chuan pushed open the meeting room door, the argument inside abruptly stopped.
The representative of Sinovac Biotech was a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, with his hair neatly combed.
Seeing someone come in, he didn't even lift his eyelids, looking at Liu Qian with some impatience.
"Principal Liu, I think we shouldn't waste any more time."
He loosened his tie, his tone carrying an arrogant, condescending air:
“Our Sinovac research achievements are there for all to see, and our world-class vaccine development experience is already an exception. Giving Fuxing University this opportunity is already an exceptional case. Either you provide full funding and we provide the technical title, or…”
Before he could finish speaking, his gaze swept over Meng Chuan at the door, carrying a scrutinizing disdain:
"Who is this person? Does he think he can just walk into the meeting room like that?"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Liu Qian's face. Just as she was about to introduce him, Meng Chuan walked straight to the middle-aged man's side.
He glanced at the cooperation proposal on the table and casually pushed it aside.
"I don't even know him. What kind of bullshit plan is this? No need to look at it. Cooperation is out of the question."
The Sinovac representative suddenly stood up and slammed his hand on the table:
"Who do you think you are? Daring to stand up for Fuxing University? Do you know Sinovac's standing in the industry? Countless institutions are begging to cooperate with us..."
However, before he could speak, he finally got a clear look at Meng Chuan's face.
Meng Chuan was too young; he underestimated him from the very beginning.
But upon closer inspection, isn't this none other than the internet celebrity—the talented scholar Meng Chuan?
"status?"
Meng Chuan looked at the Sinovac representative with a cold smile and said aggressively:
Is it on the verge of bankruptcy, or is it surviving by deceiving investors?
These words were like a slap in the face to the Sinovac representative, whose face instantly turned red.
"What nonsense are you spouting! Sinovac's market capitalization..."
"Market capitalization?"
Meng Chuan interrupted him, his voice as cold as ice:
"How much of your market value evaporated during the stock market crash? How many times were your pledged stocks liquidated? Now you're coming here to act all high and mighty, hoping that Fu-Hsing University will be the sucker and cover your losses, right?"
Liu Qian may not be aware of the actual situation at Sinovac.
However, Meng Chuan was, after all, the one who orchestrated the domestic stock market crash.
Among private enterprises, Sinovac is indeed a leading company in the pharmaceutical industry.
However, it is a foreign-controlled company listed on Nasdaq.
It also suffered the most losses due to Meng Chuan's suppression and targeting.
Its current debt ratio is at least over 100 billion.
If it weren't for the 2019 pandemic that turned its fortunes around, it might have become a third-rate pharmaceutical company.
Faced with Meng Chuan's three consecutive questions, the arrogance of the Sinovac representative instantly diminished.
Then it became enraged:
"You know nothing! Sinovac's name is a golden brand! Missing out on this cooperation is a loss for your Fu-Hsing University! You will regret this decision for the rest of your life!"
"regret?"
Meng Chuan's eyes darkened:
"You're just a errand runner, how dare you make me regret it?"
Meng Chuan didn't bother to waste any more words with him and looked at Ye Xiao next to Liu Qian:
"Throw him out."
