Half a month later, Robin Warren and Barry Marshall appeared at the Capital Airport.
The two of them had previously told the staff at the Chinese Embassy in Australia how much they liked China and admired it, so they wanted to visit China.
The staff of the Chinese Embassy were moved by their "sincerity". Besides, both of them were respected doctors in Australia and did not seem to be deceiving. Therefore, they helped them get visas as quickly as possible.
As soon as the two saw their visas were approved, they didn't care about anything else and flew to China as quickly as possible. The paper in The Lancet had the authors and work units on it, and their goal was to be the first author.
Chen Chun, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhijiang Medical University
However, the real investor and beneficiary of the results, Xiangjiang Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Company, has been forgotten intentionally or unintentionally.
Anyway, the boasting has already been made, so let's just treat it as a research project completed independently by Chinese scholars.
When Chen Chun saw the two blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners, his expression was shocked. His colleagues from the Department of Gastroenterology, the Hospital Office, and the Medical Department of the Provincial First Hospital were all shocked.
How could a single paper have such immense power that it actually attracted foreigners? And they were white people from developed countries, not impoverished black men.
Chen Chun has no problem with listening and writing in English, but his spoken English is not very good, so the communication between the two parties is carried out through the mediation of a translator.
"Hello, Ms. Chen Chun, my name is Robin Warren, and this is my colleague Barry Marshall. We are from the Royal Perth Hospital in Australia. I am a pathologist and Barry is an internist."
After the initial shock, Chen Chun quickly regained his composure and shook hands with them very politely:
"Hello, Mr. Robin, Mr. Barry, I'm Chen Chun, an internist at this hospital."
"Ms. Chen, we came to China this time because we saw the paper you published in The Lancet. So we wanted to come to China to see what kind of research team discovered this remarkable medical topic."
Robin Warren has regained her composure.
He was very smart. If he had questioned the Chinese doctors' research and accused them of plagiarizing their results from the beginning, he would definitely be expelled from China. So he decided to take a look at their research environment and experimental data first.
In his heart, he still believed that his paper had been plagiarized, although he really couldn't figure out how it was plagiarized.
"Of course, we welcome exchanges with friends in the medical field around the world."
Before Chen Chun could answer, a cadre from the Health Department next to him hurriedly agreed. He couldn't help but get excited. This was a face-to-face conversation with foreigners, something with international influence. He could brag about it as much as he wanted.
Chen Chun was a bit embarrassed. This topic was related to the layout of the Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Company behind Chen Xia. She wondered how many secrets could not be exposed. She was also unsure, so she could only smile and answer:
"I'm sorry, but this research project has investors and partners. I can't agree on my own. I have to ask the other partners for their opinions."
When Robin Warren and Barry Marshall heard that there were other investors and partners, their eyes instantly lit up. If there really was plagiarism, and this young girl in front of them didn't seem like it, then what about the experimental investors behind her?
Robin Warren immediately said:
"Please, we admire your research very much and would like to discuss it with your partners. If possible, we can also help you promote this research topic internationally."
When these words were spoken, the leaders of the Health Department and the Provincial First Hospital became excited and wanted to take over and agree to it.
But no one expected that it was not just the Chinese who would brag, but the Australians who also brag without thinking. Robin Warren and Barry Marshall are just ordinary doctors, without any financial backers, so they have no influence at all.
Historically, after the two people discovered Helicobacter pylori, they were always frustrated because they had no background and influence. Their papers could not be published and their results were not taken seriously.
If they could also give a check for $200,000 for a paper, it probably wouldn't have to wait until 1984 to be published.
When Chen Xia received a call from her elder sister, she learned that the two doctors were from Australia, named Robin Warren and Barry Marshall. She immediately knew who they were.
The real boss is here.
Bah, now Chen Chun and Xuan Yongda are the real ones, they are wild ghosts.
Since they have come all the way here, of course we have to meet them. Anyway, there should be many people around the world doing this kind of research, and whoever publishes first will have the advantage.
What kind of waves can two young doctors make without sponsorship from pharmaceutical companies?
The news that foreign experts were coming to visit Yuezhou People's Hospital spread like a bombshell in Yuezhou city, and even Secretary Li called to inquire personally.
Dean Gu's face was already flushed with joy. He immediately called an emergency meeting of the hospital. In addition to the rearrangement of the Helicobacter pylori laboratory and the presentation of experimental data, a major project was coming.
A thorough cleaning of the entire hospital.
I don't know who invented it, but it seems that whenever a superior comes to inspect, we do a thorough cleaning; when major holidays come, we do a thorough cleaning; when foreign friends come to visit, we do a thorough cleaning.
The hospital always likes to do a big cleaning, and Chen Xia wants to vomit every time he sees this.
Even his father, the vice-president, and his mother, who worked in the nursing department, would appear in the photos. He always felt that their bright smiles looked so fake. Why did they never look at him in a good mood at home?
When it comes to sanitation, the General Affairs Department is the main force.
Look, the corresponding author of the paper, the director of the General Affairs Department of the People's Hospital, and the future billionaire is holding a rag and cleaning the glass of the laboratory with everyone. After wiping, he wipes the other side with newspaper.
Even Dean Gu himself was wearing a pair of white gloves, checking everywhere with his hands behind his back, touching the dead corners from time to time, followed by a group of young doctors who quickly came forward and wiped away any dust.
Chen Xia really wanted to yell, "Stop it! I'm here to learn from you, not to teach you. Is that necessary? Aren't you being too polite?"
