"Anthony, Theodore, you have heard that my wife just fainted and her physical condition is very poor, so I will never leave my wife, and she is not suitable for long-distance travel now.
It takes more than 20 hours to fly to the United States, and I have to transfer in Hawaii. If my wife had an accident on the plane, there would not even be a place for an emergency landing in the vast Pacific Ocean. How dangerous it would be.
So, don't try to persuade me any more. Perhaps we'll have the opportunity to work together again in the future. Let's stop here for today. I need to get some medicine to preserve my pregnancy for my wife. I'm going to be a father, haha. Shouldn't the two professors congratulate me? "
Professor Anthony saw Lin Sanqi's firm attitude and knew that he had to do something, so he came up with a backup plan.
"Lin, maybe there's another way for us to cooperate. I heard that your family has moved to Hong Kong. Can we change the location of our cooperation to Hong Kong?"
Lin Sanqi instantly became alert, after all, the Lin family's trip to Hong Kong was a secret.
In order to avoid any accidents, the Lin family was sent back to their hometown in the name of the third batch of personnel to be cleared out. Even their old colleagues at the Chinese medicine hospital did not know this secret, so how did these Americans know it?
"Professor Anthony, I don't understand what you are saying. My family should be back home in Huadu right now."
Professor Anthony is clearly confident:
"No, no, no. According to what I learned from our country's office in China, you and your parents and brothers are already in Hong Kong."
Lin Sanqi cursed inwardly: "You dog spy, investigating yourself?!"
However, Lin Sanqi was not too surprised. After all, the U.S. office in China was a diplomatic agency on the surface, but in reality it was a spy station.
Given the nature of Americans and their intelligence capabilities, it would be abnormal if they did not investigate Lin Sanqi's every move. Of course, they would never know that time travel existed in this world.
Professor Anthony didn't finish his words. He actually knew that Lin Sanqi was the legal representative of Hong Kong Lingnantang Pharmaceutical Company, a shell company that held three tuberculosis patents.
Moreover, Lin Sanqi and Pan Ye hold Hong Kong identity cards, so they can be considered Hong Kong people.
Lin Sanqi realized that it was meaningless to deny it, so he simply asked:
"Anthony, Theodore, there's one thing I don't understand. The current situation is that the mainstream international medical community doesn't acknowledge that China invented anti-tuberculosis drugs, nor does it believe that China can cure tuberculosis.
We were clearly begging the mainstream medical community, represented by those in Europe and the United States, to give us a chance to prove our case. Why are you now begging me to go abroad to conduct clinical trials? This is so strange and doesn't suit your position."
Professors Anthony and Theodore looked at each other, both wondering how to answer this naked question.
Lin Sanqi reminded:
"Anthony, Theodore, I consider you my friends, so you'd better answer me sincerely and don't treat me like a fool. If there is an opportunity for cooperation, I am definitely willing to cooperate with you. But I don't want to be the one being taken advantage of."
After six months of getting along, Lin Sanqi has a clear idea in his mind.
These Americans are willing to endure hardships in China for half a year. They definitely have an ulterior motive, which is to gain control of the tuberculosis project.
If possible, Lin Sanqi also hopes to cooperate with them.
After all, China at that time had very little status in the international arena. Only about 30 countries in the world recognized it, and they were all small countries or poor countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
Lin Sanqi can act arrogantly in the country, but who cares about you in the international arena?
But Harvard University's medical team is a towering onion. They are an internationally recognized authoritative medical team, or in other words, they themselves are the "mainstream medical community."
So Professor Anthony and his group were targeting Lin Sanqi, and Lin Sanqi was also targeting Anthony and his group.
When doing business, southerners focus on making everyone rich and making money through harmony, and they will not try to make the last penny.
Only by sharing benefits and apportioning profits can this business become bigger and stronger.
Lin Sanqi didn't mind giving up some of his interests to the American doctor, on the premise that he also wanted to be a chess player rather than a chess piece.
Professor Anthony knew that he couldn't hide it from Lin Sanqi, so he decided to tell the truth:
"Lin, I sincerely want you to join our Harvard University team. Now you have the technology and drugs, and I have the channels and monetization capabilities. I think if we work together, we can definitely get the biggest piece of the tuberculosis drug pie.
What I originally thought was that you could go to the United States and then prove in front of everyone, including experts from the World Health Organization and the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, that you can really conquer tuberculosis, so that the drug patent in your hands will be very valuable.
Lin, please believe me, I have no intention of harming you. My colleagues and I are just doctors, not an international terrorist organization. Moreover, our $10 million donation should show you our friendship."
Lin Sanqi laughed out loud:
"Professor, it's better if you say no directly, but joining your team is obviously impossible. After all, I have my own team. I have also compiled all the papers on tuberculosis and invented anti-tuberculosis drugs. I have no shortage of clinical experience.
But as you said, we can cooperate. I can use you and your Harvard team to publicly prove it to the world. I can also use your team to publish papers in mainstream medical journals and promote tuberculosis drugs to the world through your team.
Anthony, Theodore, believe me, I'm not an old-fashioned person. I don't care about any ideology. Whether you're an American, an American, or a Chinese, everyone has the right to health. I believe in the concept of equality for all."
Professor Anthony was delighted when he heard this:
"That's great, Lin. Our goals are aligned, and our medical concepts are the same. This gives us a solid foundation for cooperation."
Professor Theodore couldn't wait to return to his desk and asked anxiously:
"Lin, you obviously have a better idea. Tell me your idea and let's discuss it together to see if we can find a win-win solution."
Lin Sanqi pondered for a moment and reorganized his thoughts:
"Originally, I was willing to go to the United States, but for my wife's sake, I can only accept going to Hong Kong for clinical trials. I will be responsible for providing the drugs and the medical team, and you will be responsible for finding a venue and hospital for me in Hong Kong.
And you will be responsible for arranging experts from various countries, the World Health Organization, and the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease to go to Hong Kong. I can conduct clinical trials on tuberculosis in front of doctors and infectious disease experts from all over the world.
Once the clinical validation is passed, you will be responsible for publishing our paper in major journals. Of course, we in China will be the first author and corresponding author, and your Harvard University medical team can be the second author.
In other words, academically, I am willing to share my achievements with you, so that everyone will recognize our two hospitals as partners. I believe you will also receive all the honors you deserve."
Professor Anthony nodded slightly, agreeing with Lin Sanqi's statement.
China is too weak and is currently in a semi-closed state, with almost no connection to the mainstream international medical circle.
In the future, if there are any major international academic conferences and major universities and research institutes around the world invite tuberculosis teams, they will definitely invite the Harvard University team, not the Chinese team.
The honor of inventing the anti-tuberculosis drug fell entirely on their Harvard University team.
Theodore didn't care much about honor. He was very realistic, so he asked directly:
"So, Lin, what about the benefits? How are they distributed?"
Lin Sanqi wrote a word on the paper: patent
"When it comes to profits, the research project and labor fees are just a small part of it. The big part is the medicine. As the world's number one infectious disease, with hundreds of millions of tuberculosis patients worldwide, the profits involved are unimaginable and enormous.
But I currently hold the patent for the anti-tuberculosis drug, and it's the most profitable. I think there are two ways to collaborate."
Professor Anthony and Professor Theodore knew that the sex scene was about to begin, so they both sat up straight and pricked up their ears.
Lin Sanqi continued:
"One option is for China to produce anti-tuberculosis drugs, and for you to become a foreign agent and distributor. This way, you don't have to build a factory, deal with annoying trade unions, or invest too much money.
You are internationally renowned professors, and you know colleagues across the United States, and even around the world. This way, you can leverage your connections to promote your drug. The more drugs you sell, the more profit you will make. (End of chapter)
