There is no cat in the world that doesn't steal fish. Garen is just a high-level worker. In the final analysis, it's all for money.
Chen Xia had seen many such professional managers in his previous life. To put it bluntly, they were just "intermediaries". These people would set up an office in every place and then go to various hospitals to recommend their magazine pages.
In order to get extra points for promotion, many doctors must publish a certain number of papers and achieve a certain score. But they don’t have the time to do the research, or they can’t get the research topics. What should they do?
Just buy it.
As long as you pay, they will write the paper for you and publish it in the relevant medical journal in your doctor's name. They will then charge different fees based on the level of the journal. It is a one-stop service.
Some readers will definitely scold the doctor, right?
Doctors are actually suffering even more. They're exhausted as hell every day, and yet they're still expected to write papers. Under China's current medical system, doctors are primarily clinical. How many doctors have the skills, expertise, and connections to apply for research projects and write papers?
Therefore, those who come up with this kind of bullshit policy are all sick, and doctors are just the objects of exploitation.
A paper costs at least tens of thousands of dollars. How much does a doctor earn in a year?
Of course, this is the case in China. Is it the same abroad? It's pretty much the same. It's just that top medical journals may have a higher level of professional ethics, but they're definitely not perfect.
Otherwise, with so many papers published in top medical journals every year, how many of them are ultimately proven to be of practical value and groundbreaking significance?
Most of them are just "making trouble", who knows if there is any exchange of interests?
So when Chen Xia took advantage of Garen going to the toilet, she secretly slipped him a jade necklace. Garen's attitude immediately became much more enthusiastic.
But this is a "personal friendship" and company interests must also be considered.
So Chen Shuqin asked directly: "Mr. Galen, we are all friends. I would like to ask, what kind of effort is needed to publish our paper?"
Business is business, and personal relationships are personal relationships. Capitalists make a clear distinction between the two, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about.
"Ms. Chen, if you want to ensure that your paper is published, it will cost you no less than $100,000 in public relations fees."
Zhou Anbei lowered his head, stirring his coffee with a spoon, thinking, "This is so damn shameful! A senior manager like him can't even earn $100,000 a year, and yet he charges so much for publishing a paper."
Chen Xia suddenly said at this time: "Mr. Galen, Pumpkin Vine Company is willing to pay 200,000 US dollars as a token of our friendship."
Zhou Anbei was so surprised that the spoon fell into the coffee cup.
Galen was also surprised, then nodded. If he could speak Chinese, he would have said, "This child is teachable."
In fact, the $100,000 is already very inflated. A small portion was handed over to the company, and most of it was privately divided among some review experts and editors. Moreover, this money does not need to be reported for tax. It is just an unspoken rule under the sun.
Now Chen Xia is willing to pay twice as much "public relations fees", which means that everyone in the interest chain can get more money. This is definitely an unexpected surprise, and of course we have to take better care of them.
Moreover, as long as this paper is proven to be true and fully meets the requirements for publication, it will also be beneficial to the authority of The Lancet.
Besides, there's also a jade necklace...
Galen was not polite. "Okay, leave it to me. I believe The Lancet will publish this paper as soon as possible."
That’s a guarantee.
This is also the result Chen Xia wants. He doesn't care about tens of thousands of dollars. If possible, he doesn't even care about 1 million dollars. Compared with future profits, what is this little money?
After dealing with Galen, Chen Xia gave Zhou Anbei a list of consumables needed for the laboratory. The middleman must give some benefits.
"Manager Zhou, these are the experimental instruments and materials I need to purchase this time. You have to give me a discount price."
Zhou Anbei took a look, roughly estimated the price, and said with a smile:
"Mr. Chen, every time you come to Hong Kong, you will take care of our business. Long-term partners like us will definitely get discounts. Don't worry, hehe."
Experimental research is really too expensive. Now Zheng Haisheng's drug laboratory and Chen Chun's Helicobacter pylori laboratory are like money-eating monsters, consuming a lot of materials and equipment every day because of experiments.
And this is just the beginning, and it is still "copying homework" under the premise that Chen Xia has a golden finger.
If Chen Xia hadn't had 666 Weitai and Jade to support him, he probably wouldn't have been able to handle it. Many readers didn't understand why Chen Xia was so obsessed with money. He was always shopping and obsessed with money.
Do you understand now? You don't have money, and you want to do research? Or you want to open a modern pharmaceutical factory, or even an international hospital?
What an international joke.
To give a simple example, there is a "Law of 10" in international drug research.
"Drug research takes 10 years and costs at least $1 billion, with only a 10% success rate."
How many companies can afford to invest this much to research multiple drugs? Without money, what's the point of just enthusiasm?
Some people think that if you don’t have the personal ability, you can cooperate with the country.
Cooperate with the state? Ahem, forget it.
That night, Galen went back happily with a check for $200,000, a paper, and the jade necklace in his briefcase.
Everyone was happy.
Chen Xia, feeling relieved, went to Lan Kwai Fong Bar Street that night to understand the people's sentiments under the leadership of Hu Jianfeng and several other younger brothers.
Alas, girls in capitalist areas are so miserable.
Chen Xia, who is naturally soft-hearted, cannot bear to see such a tragic situation. As a section-level cadre, he always feels that he should bring warmth to the people.
He ordered a bottle of tequila for himself and a few bottles of Remy Martin for Hu Jianfeng and others.
Then he took out a few Hong Kong dollars, rolled them together, and stuffed them into the arms of a bar girl who came to deliver drinks.
Seeing the bar girl's charming smile, Chen Xia felt that she must have felt the warmth of the world.
That night, amid the loud music and the urging of the bar girls to drink, Chen Xia got drunk and was carried back to Garden Street in Mong Kok by Hu Jianfeng and others.
