Chapter 303: There are ten minutes left. Say goodbye to your family
BlackRock?
As expected, it was the big boss behind the scenes. Luo Hao was not surprised. He just bowed politely to express his respect.
“I live at the foot of the Alps. I originally wanted to ask Dr. Luo to go there to see the beautiful scenery of the Alps, but you refused, so I had to make the trip myself.”
“It’s hard work. , I don’t think I’m worth a trip in person.”
Luo Hao replied neither humble nor overbearing.
"My time is precious, Dr. Luo, let's... get straight to the point." The old man used an idiom.
"Okay."
"Chinese is really a compressed package. I hope I didn't use it wrong." The old man murmured.
"You are using it very well. It seems that you have studied Chinese culture." Luo Hao sat down and looked at the old man with a smile.
Their eyes intertwined, and the old man stared at Luo Hao with interest for nearly a minute.
The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward, and the old man's gaze seemed to be real. Luo Hao did not flinch, and looked into the old man's eyes provocatively.
"It's strange, I actually have a crush on you."
After a minute, the old man smiled.
“Haha.”
"How is your research on diabetes in the Imperial Laboratory?"
"It's going very smoothly. The animal experiments are expected to be completed within a year and enter the Phase 1 clinical stage." Luo Hao told the truth.
The old man really didn't seem to want to waste time.
"Doctor Luo, this technology is very advanced. I think you have a clear judgment on this."
Luo Hao was silent, quietly looking at the old man opposite, asking silently.
"Technology, I want to participate in the stock."
"Old man, the technology is not mature yet." Luo Hao kept smiling and polite, "And I don't lack scientific research funds."
The old man seemed to have thought of it What, the smile is a little weird.
“Funding is indeed a big problem.” The old man said with a smile, “In the past, you could buy a lot of things with 300,000 US dollars, including people in important positions and related information.
But now It’s getting harder and harder, and everyone who deals with it has to stay a little, and in the end it’s only 30,000 yuan. What kind of information can you buy?”
Luo Hao was startled.
“Not to mention this, you are indeed not short of funds, but I am not talking about funds.”
“I know the significance of this research, it is the first round of angel investment.” Luo Hao replied frankly, "But, no, old man."
The old man was not surprised by Luo Hao's unhesitating denial. He seemed to have expected this.
“The technologies that can cure diabetes are gradually maturing. You know how much room there is.”
"Dr. Luo, the current model of treating diabetes is worth 24 billion US dollars a year. By 2030, it will be 40 billion US dollars."
"You have to know that this happens every year "You want to cure diabetes, which conflicts with my ideas," the old man said directly.
Facing his straightforwardness, Luo Hao was a little confused.
Is he really so short of time?
According to Luo Hao's understanding of this type of people, they generally speak in a vague way.
But the old man surprised Luo Hao with his straightforwardness. He directly said that curing diabetes was equivalent to a one-time deal, and the research he did affected his ability to make money.
Countless information appeared in Luo Hao's brain, and all the incomprehensible nodes were understood in an instant.
Why did Han Guangyun go all out, even offering offers such as being a foreign academician of the National Academy of Sciences to seduce himself, and finally resorted to using giant pandas to exploit his weaknesses?
That’s it!
Luo Hao frowned slightly and looked at the white-haired old man in front of him, with dirt already buried up to his neck.
"Let me take shares, and you can continue to study. As for when it will be listed, some shareholders will conduct research at that time." The old man concluded very domineeringly.
Luo Hao was silent, quietly looking at the domineering old man opposite.
He is not discussing with himself, but informing himself.
After the old man finished speaking, he paused, smiled slightly and said, "I will give you a price that satisfies you."
"Oh?"
"45% of the shares, US$1 billion." The old man said.
Luo Hao's heart did not move, not even a tremor.
He showed no respect for a billion dollars.
Seeing that Luo Hao was deep in thought, the old man did not continue speaking, but raised his hand.
A cigar fell between his fingers.
Lit it, the old man took a puff.
He was greatly satisfied and enjoyed it. A few seconds later, a puff of smoke was blown towards Luo Hao.
This action was very impolite, but he did it as if it were natural, as if he was asking Luo Hao if he understood.
"Old man." Luo Hao smiled, waved his hand, and dispersed the smoke, "Does it mean that if I don't agree, I won't be able to leave this room?"
"How could it be possible? I told you that I I have a good impression of you." The old man said with a smile, not sinister and cold, but still looking kind.
"I'm old, and I don't have the time when I was young..." The old man thought for a long time, but couldn't find the right words.
He smiled kindly, "Dr. Luo, my Mandarin can only go so far. I insist on communicating in Mandarin. This is my respect for you."
"Thank you." Luo Hao nodded slightly.
This time, he showed his respect.
Seeing that the old man said nothing else and had no intention of continuing, Luo Hao asked, "If I agree, what are you going to do?"
"You don't need to worry too much about the company. Novo Nordisk will pass the shareholders' meeting today to establish a new company, get your permission, invest money, and obtain 45% of the equity."
"All of this, Everything is reasonable and compliant, you don’t have to worry about anything.”
“In the future, you can do any experiment at any time and anywhere in the world.”
The old man’s expression was serious. Seriously, every word he says is a promise.
A stick in one hand and a carrot in the other.
Luo Hao faced a choice, a difficult choice.
But are there any options?
It is just a school laboratory, and its valuation has exceeded US$2 billion.
This amount of money is enough for countless people to commit murder and arson, commit all kinds of evil, and even turn husbands and wives against each other, and fathers and sons kill each other.
But Luo Hao was still thinking about something and did not agree immediately. He continued to follow the old man's words.
The old man took out an old pocket watch from his arms and took a look at it.
"Old man, have you already made a breakthrough in the treatment of high blood pressure, but you and your foundation have always mastered the method of curing high blood pressure but have not made it public?" Luo Hao suddenly asked.
"Yes." The old man did not hesitate and gave Luo Hao an affirmative answer, "Cure is the worst option. Young man, isn't it like this?"
Luo Hao Hao Zhan smiled.
“When I was in school, the teacher said that most of the clinical diseases today are incurable.”
"I was thinking at the time that it was supposed to be impossible."
"With the advancement of science and technology, how come almost all diseases cannot be cured. Even in other places, there are medicines that can improve it, but they cannot cure it."
The old man smiled and looked at Luo Hao kindly.
After Luo Hao finished speaking, he took out a cigarette from his pocket.
He didn't have a lighter, so he raised his head and glanced at the middle-aged man in a suit.
The man has no murderous aura, is slightly fat, and has a neck thicker than his head. He has one of the most capable physiques that Wang Xiaoshuai said.
Luo Hao waved his cigarette at the man in the suit, and the man in the suit took out a lighter and lit it for Luo Hao.
After taking a puff of cigarette, Luo Hao did not fight back provocatively, but just smoked quietly, as if weighing the pros and cons.
"I still have 7 minutes."
The old man glanced at his pocket watch and said softly.
Luo Hao nodded.
"Dr. Luo, let me tell you again, curing a disease is the worst option. It will leave us with no more funds to research and conquer other diseases, such as cancer."
"Believe me, God loves the world, and I love the world. This is the best way, there is no other way. I hold an olive branch in one hand and a sword in the other. Because for you I have a good impression, so I leave the choice to you."
"It's a strange feeling. I didn't want to give you a chance."
The old man said lightly.
For a moment, Luo Hao seemed to be bewitched, and saw a layer of divine light surrounding the old man.
Illusion.
Luo Hao blinked and dispelled the illusion.
“If you think about it, someone will give you detailed data. Don’t worry about the process, there will be no mistakes. From now on, you will be an invisible rich man in the world, making more money than you did before buying and selling virtual currencies. Much more."
"No need, old man." Luo Hao smiled, "But I don't think this is a good idea. I am a doctor. If I can cure it, why can't I cure it? ”
"Always take a long-term view."
Luo Hao pondered.
"There are three minutes left." The old man glanced at the old pocket watch, and then turned his eyes flatly to Luo Hao.
"Yes." Luo Hao nodded lightly.
"Is it a money issue? Money-related issues are just minor issues. If you have any conditions, feel free to ask."
"The conditions you have given are already very generous."
The old man's smile became a little brighter and less old-fashioned.
“Can I take a look at the contract?”
A contract was immediately placed in front of Luo Hao.
"Young man, you don't have time to read carefully." The old man said in a deep voice, "Sign and we will be friends."
"Sure enough."
"What?"
Luo Hao's voice was too low and the old man didn't hear him clearly.
“My boss said that you are very arrogant in dealing with us, and it is true.”
“Young man, 1 billion U.S. dollars, this is Novo Nordisk’s investment in Semaglu The largest single investment after peptides. Your trials are still in the animal stage and there are countless risks. I think I have expressed my sincerity enough.”
"It's not about money." Luo Hao glanced at the document marked with the seal of Novo Nordisk's board of directors, and was not even interested in opening it.
“My idea is to cure a disease. As for the future, we will talk about it later. It’s like tuberculosis, don’t you think?”
“We learn from the cure of tuberculosis. Countless lessons."
"But tuberculosis is indeed not a serious disease now. Even if it is infected, it can be cured with very little money." Luo Hao sighed and pressed his hand on the document.
The document seemed to be extremely heavy, Luo Hao pushed the document in front of the old man little by little.
"I'm sorry."
"Huh?"
"There is an old saying in China that people who disagree cannot agree with each other." Luo Hao looked into the old man's eyes and said softly, "I don't know if you can I can’t understand.”
“I understand, young man, are you really going to reject my olive branch and choose the sword?”
The old man’s mood did not fluctuate at all.
"Well, I refuse." Luo Hao raised his head and glanced at the man in the suit, "If this is the case, I won't be able to walk out of this room."
"No, we are civilized people, and I treat you I have a good impression and am prepared to let you live for ten more minutes." The old man sighed, "It's a pity that no cooperation has been reached, and there will probably not be any cooperation in the future."
Luo Hao raised his eyebrows.
"You can go." This is my room!
Luo Hao wanted to say this to the old man, but after a second thought, he remained silent, put on his backpack, and turned around to leave.
"Doctor Luo, you are still young, I will give you one last chance." The old man said suddenly.
"No need." Luo Hao didn't waste any time, raised his hand and waved.
"Then you still have ten minutes. Ten minutes are indeed precious. You can say goodbye to your family." The old man said calmly without any regrets or regrets, "People will die all the time. I don't want you to have any regrets." So many regrets. Go and say goodbye to your family, my child."
"Ten minutes?" Luo Hao looked at the old man intently.
He was extremely conceited, as if he were a god, and he said ten minutes meant ten minutes.
"A Chinese man died at the Ingidi Hotel in Baltimore Center. The police determined that he was shot in the back and suspected of committing suicide."
The old man said the absurd words seriously.
“!!!”
Luo Hao’s heart suddenly tightened.
He didn't expect that the old man had already prepared to kill him.
Being shot in the back and committing suicide due to depression, these news have been seen frequently in recent years.
Luo Hao never thought that this kind of absurdity would really happen to him one day.
"You have no chance to gain understanding. You personally gave up this olive branch." The old man said lightly, holding a cigar in his left hand and holding a red wine glass in his right hand.
"You are the only stranger I have seen in ten years, and you are also the young man I have a crush on, so I give you the last ten minutes to say goodbye to your family."
The old man raised the red wine glass in his hand.
The red wine rippled slightly, like a glass of blood.
He said goodbye to Luo Hao.
Ten minutes?
Luo Hao was slightly absent-minded.
The old man is like a cat and a mouse, full of confidence.
He didn't even doubt that Luo Hao would be shot in the back and die of suicide in ten minutes.
Someone closed the door to the room.
The door closed little by little.
The old man's left hand was blocked, leaving only the curl of smoke.
Half of the old man's face was covered, making it look like an AFP-style "documentary."
Only the old man's right hand can be seen, and he is holding a red wine glass. The posture of holding the glass is different from what the Internet celebrities described in Xiaohongshu. It is very casual and a bit rustic.
The red wine rippled slightly, and then the light and shadow disappeared, just like a dream.
Luo Hao's heart moved and he activated a skill!
"Get rid of him! Get rid of this damn bastard!!" The old man said gloomily before closing the door.
The previous kindness was gone, and he was roaring like a devil.
“Kill him, diabetes will never be cured!”
“Click~”
The door of the hotel room is closed.
Luo Hao was speechless.
He has never experienced real life or death. In China, Luo Hao has always had countless elderly people standing behind him as an adult.
No matter what happens, there will naturally be an old man to deal with it.
And Luo Hao rarely causes trouble unless he has to.
Now in Baltimore, the boss behind BlackRock is clamoring to kill him. How will you die? Was he shot in the back and died of suicide?
There is a high probability that they will. Luo Hao is very aware of their energy.
Looking back, a leading man in a suit made a sign of invitation.
Luo Hao didn't care about hiding, and activated his skill again, landing on the man.
"Doctor Luo, please, you still have 8 minutes and 12 seconds." A man in a suit smiled, "The news of your death has appeared on the Internet."
Luo Hao was a little nervous , he smiled, "Is it suicide by being shot in the back? Are you so confident?"
"No, they seem to have got the wrong draft. You were hit by a dump truck and died in a car accident. ." The man was a little embarrassed.
Dump truck?
"There are still 7 minutes and 56 seconds."
"If I don't leave, will the dump truck come up?" Luo Hao asked.
"Dr. Luo, if I were you, I would definitely call home, because this is your last chance. Say goodbye to your family and leave with dignity." The man said seriously, "Instead of talking to I'm kidding."
Luo Hao shrugged and glanced at the system panel.
The lucky value is 132+5+10 (auspicious).
Although he had a lot of luck and blessings and auspicious blessings, Luo Hao felt nervous like never before.
The old man was not joking, and neither was the man in front of him.
From the beginning, they paid a sky-high price, insisting that they come to Baltimore to attend the Johns Hopkins Interventional Annual Meeting. The purpose was not Lanco’s consumables, but the project to treat diabetes. .
Luo Hao was silent and entered the elevator with his backpack on his back.
No one stops me.
This made Luo Hao feel the other party's strong confidence and arrogance.
But there is one good thing - with the BlackRock boss coming forward, Luo Hao is sure that his research on curing diabetes is in the right direction.
Next?
Can I survive?
This is not a joke.
Luo Hao quickly took stock of the items given by the system in the elevator.
Stealth, a gift from the Siberian tiger, is a skill of the King of Beasts.
It’s just that the Siberian tiger is too powerful, so it rarely uses this skill.
Luo Hao did not activate it immediately. After all, hiding consumes experience points.
In addition, there are surveillance cameras in the hotel, people are coming and going, and the other party's attention is on you, so now is not a good time.
And Vision.
But Luo Hao didn’t know who Vision was used on.
A lot of bad luck charms are of no use.
Damn it!
Luo Hao cursed in his heart, who would have thought that the other party would fall out with each other immediately, with murderous intent, and they were planning to kill him from the very beginning.
It makes sense, after all, it involves hundreds of billions of profits from insulin drugs.
But it was unexpected by Luo Hao.
Still too young, Luo Hao tried his best to calm down.
The [Flow] skill can be activated at any time, and Luo Hao doesn't care about anything else. Once a dump truck rushes towards him, he must choose to use [Flow] to avoid it.
At the same time, use [Vision] instead of the Bad Luck Charm.
Bad Luck Charms are easy to use, but they take time to work.
After simply calculating all this, the elevator door opened, and a white family was waiting for the elevator at the door.
They smiled kindly at Luo Hao.
Luo Hao was in a trance.
The world seemed to be functioning normally, and I felt like I had just returned to the hotel and had just finished "Kang head appendicitis".
But now, I have to face a dump truck.
Still a little panicked, Luo Hao tried to keep himself calm.
But no matter what, Luo Hao could not be as calm and composed as usual.
It seems that what he usually sees is the life and death of others, not his own. Luo Hao smiled mockingly to himself.
After stepping out of the elevator, Luo Hao didn't know how much time was left.
Where should I go to hide?
It is estimated that the old man has set up eighteen dragnets, preparing to capture his grandson.
But the Great Sage is invulnerable and has huge forces behind him.
What about yourself?
In Baltimore, I was an unfamiliar place and the only people I knew were local vendors.
Even if they have inextricable connections with Hongmen overseas, it may not be easy to use, and Lao Yang is most likely one of theirs. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if it is useful, it is useless to contact Lao Yang now.
Luo Hao's steps were a little slow, and he found that his legs were shaking slightly without realizing it.
Taking a deep breath and trying to suppress the shaking of his legs caused by excess adrenaline, Luo Hao walked out of the hotel.
The sun sets.
Luo Hao's figure was stretched and fell on the streets of Baltimore.
There were not many people on the street, everyone was very leisurely, but most of them had black faces, which gave Luo Hao the illusion that he was in France or Africa.
Dump truck.
Walking down a small alley and not believing that a dump truck could rush in, Luo Hao had an idea.
Either go to a nearby high-rise building, and a dump truck will definitely not be able to get in.
Luo Hao is not afraid of one-on-one battles, but the opponent will definitely not be alone.
Assassination, they are experts.
From one's own president to other people's military and political officials, as long as they are targeted, they are like maggots in the tarsus.
Has Castro of Cuba been assassinated hundreds of times?
When Luo Hao thought of this, he immediately shook his head and suppressed all distracting thoughts.
I am not Castro, so I don’t have such thorough protection. It is extremely difficult to escape pursuit.
Especially in the end, the old man from BlackRock showed his fierceness under the influence of the skill. He first announced his own death information and then killed people.
This is simply fighting with open fire!
Over the years, they have done countless similar things.
Luo Hao glanced at it and found that there was no suitable place to avoid CBD other than the hotel.
How about going to Johns Hopkins? Luo Hao had an idea in his mind.
Hospitals should be considered their home court.
But this idea was still denied by Luo Hao. After all, he was a doctor. Although Luo Hao faced invisible dangers, he still couldn't bear to trouble the hospital.
Hiding in an alley, Luo Hao looked around, but no one was approaching.
Despite this, my heart was pounding and I couldn't control it at all.
Whether it is the old man from BlackRock or the man in a suit outside the door, they all reveal unparalleled confidence.
Devils, a bunch of devils!
Luo Hao walked cautiously in the alley, taking off his backpack as he walked, leaving behind his mobile phone, passport, and ID card. The backpack was thrown aside by Luo Hao to reduce its weight.
He even wanted to throw away his cell phone. Although he had no military training, Luo Hao knew that his cell phone was a point that exposed his location.
Do you want to throw it away?
Maybe they were just bluffing, trying to scare themselves. Drawing swords against each other after a disagreement is too cruel.
Luo Hao still had a trace of luck in his heart.
But the lucky mentality did not last long. Suddenly Luo Hao felt as if his arm had been pricked by a needle, and the pain was so deep that it penetrated his bones.
Dodge subconsciously, his movements faster than Luo Hao's thoughts.
“Bang~~~”
