Chapter 432 The battle lines are stretched again, and the victory or defeat is in an instant!
IRDiRC International Rare Disease Research Alliance is a non-profit rare disease research organization dually certified by WHO and the United Nations. It is headquartered in Paris.
Why is it a non-profit organization?
The answer is very realistic, that is, for-profit organizations or pharmaceutical companies will not invest money to develop corresponding drugs and devices before they see large enough profits.
Take ALS as an example. There are no more than 600,000 patients worldwide.
Assuming a capital cost of 10 billion is invested and a treatment drug is successfully developed, then the cost of 10 billion needs to be shared equally by 600,000 people, which is 16,600 yuan per person.
At first glance, the price is acceptable.
But pharmaceutical companies must be profitable, and the industry must be profitable at least 10 times. Even 100 times is within the recognized range of the industry.
Assuming a profit of 50 times, that is an expenditure of 830,000 yuan per person.
Can an ordinary family afford 830,000?
Obviously not!
Some people may also wonder why pharmaceutical companies want to make profits 50 times or even 100 times. If the initial price is so high, can they not make small profits but quick turnover?
The reason is also very simple, that is, the investment cost of 10 billion may be lost because the research and development of drugs and medical devices may fail. Once the research and development fails, tens of billions of funds will be lost. .
In addition, the world-recognized patent period is 20 years. If the patent period exceeds 20 years, other manufacturers can imitate it.
Under the constraints of various factors, pharmaceutical companies will give people the feeling of making a fortune and becoming a nouveau riche. In fact, they themselves can only do this. If they don't make a lot of money, their cash flow will be cut off at any time.
As a non-profit organization, the IRDiRC International Rare Disease Research Alliance does not need to manage cash flow, nor does it need to care about subsequent profits. It only needs to make every effort to conquer rare diseases. However, non-profit organizations also have shortcomings. That is, R&D funding is often insufficient.
To put it bluntly, pharmaceutical companies have sufficient cash flow, but if they do not see enough market profits, they will not invest in research and development. On the contrary, IRDiRC International Rare Disease Research Alliance, their cash flow is often disconnected. But it does not care about the market profits of developing drugs and focuses on conquering rare diseases.
At this time, in the ALS Research Room at the headquarters of IRDiRC International Rare Disease Research Alliance, Professor Eckert, the project chief, was showing the latest results to the inspectors of the IMF International Fund.
I saw him take out a report and introduce it with excitement in his tone:
“After hundreds of film-taking experiments, we finally discovered a famous gene in the brains of patients with ALS. A protein called TDP-43, which forms abnormal clumps that lead to cell death and neuronal damage, is our most significant discovery to date."
The representatives of the IMF International Fund were two men and one woman. The woman in the middle took the report and browsed a few pages at random.
Then, she looked at Eckert with her blue eyes, and went straight to the point: "First of all, we would like to congratulate you on the new progress in ALS, but as a layman, I would like to know more about the distance to truly conquer ALS. How long will it take for frostbite to subside? ”
The IMF International Fund is the “financier father” of the IRDiRC International Rare Disease Research Alliance. It sponsors approximately US$17 billion every year to combat rare diseases and has been sponsoring it for 14 consecutive years.
The reason why they sponsor IRDiRC International Rare Disease Research Alliance is not out of kindness, but to play a big game.
Specifically, if therapeutic drugs developed by the IRDiRC International Rare Disease Research Alliance are put on the market, they must be authorized to be produced by pharmaceutical companies designated by the IMF International Fund.
These designated pharmaceutical companies will dilute the efficacy of the medicine and eventually sell it to patients at a low price, achieving the goal of small profits but quick turnover.
But is this the end?
Far from it!
When rare disease drugs are launched, the media will praise the IMF international funds and capital and beautify their popularity.
As society's defensiveness drops, it penetrates into all walks of life and eventually monopolizes and seeks huge profits.
Professor Eckert took out another document and handed it to the three people from the IMF International Fund and said: "In 2 years, within 2 years, we will definitely be able to develop a drug that inhibits the TDP-43 protein."
" "Dong dong——"
At this time, there was a knock on the office door frame.
Because the door was open, there was a young white woman standing at the door. She was wearing a white coat, and her loose clothes could not hide her proud figure, especially her buttocks and thighs. She was a fitness talent all year round. Some sense of fullness.
"Professor." She shouted and looked at the IMF trio, as if to say that it was inconvenient to say that there were outsiders present.
"If you have anything to say, just say it." Professor Eckert didn't care.
However, the matter was very important and related to research and development funds. The female assistant did not say it directly. Instead, she came to Professor Eckert’s ear and whispered: "The medical community of Longguo announced to the outside world that they use Brain-computer interface conquers ALS and is expected to treat all neuropathies.”
Next second.
Professor Eckert’s pupils shrank.
Brain-computer interface?
Is there any hope of treating all neuropathy?
What kind of international joke is this?
Don’t Longguo’s high-end medical equipment and devices rely entirely on international imports? When did you move towards high-end?
Professor Eckert’s anomaly was keenly noticed by the three people from the IMF International Fund. The female examiner in the middle asked: "What happened?"
"No... nothing." Eckert Te has never liked lying, but this time he had to lie because tens of billions of R&D funds were involved.
“Really?”
The female examiner is reluctant. Since she can be appointed by the IMF International Fund, she naturally has her own special features.
"Okay." Seeing that he couldn't escape, Eckert simply retreated and said, "My wife discovered my relationship with Bella."
The words fell. At this time, he put his hands on the female assistant's hips.
The instinctive resistance made Bella subconsciously want to distance herself, but Eckert warned with his eyes and increased the strength of his hands, which was obviously a threat.
It’s worth sacrificing some color temporarily to keep tens of billions of R&D funds.
"We really love each other." When Eckert spoke, he pulled Bella towards him, so that the two of them were almost touching.
Faced with this complicated relationship, the three members of the IMF International Fund looked at each other, and they could not say anything.
After all, it doesn’t matter to them whether you are messy or not. What they care about is when the TDP-43 protein inhibitor is successfully developed.
Eckert's brain was very fast at this time, and he quickly said: "Please rest assured that my personal affairs will not affect the research and development of drugs. We, the IRDiRC International Rare Disease Research Alliance, are also confident that we will provide you with the drug within two years." Submit a satisfactory answer.”
“I hope so”
The female examiner didn’t think much about it. After confirming the progress of the research and development, they also signed the document for the new round of fund donation. The word "passed" is printed and the approval stamp is stamped.
“Huh——”
When the three people from the IMF International Fund left, Eckert breathed a sigh of relief.
In order to prevent the three people from the IMF International Fund from trying back, he walked out of the research room to watch the three people leave, then returned to the research room and locked the door.
"Brain-computer interface, whose brain-computer interface is it?" Eckert asked his assistant Bella the moment he locked the door.
Bella: "I don't know yet, but according to reliable information, the implantation surgery was done at the Ruijin Hospital in the magical city. Now it has been spread all over the city."
"Ruijin Hospital?"
Eckert thought carefully.
Three seconds later, he finally remembered, and his expression became more solemn and he said: "It's Ruijin Hospital. This is the top hospital among the three in Long Guobao. If it is Ruijin's official news, then this matter is basically true. Hammer.”
IRDiRC International Rare Disease Research Alliance not only accepts financial donations from the IMF International Fund, but also accepts financial donations from other organizations. Ruijin Hospital donates a fixed amount of US$470 million every year to support rare diseases. Disease-related research.
“It’s not an official announcement, it’s a leak in the circle of friends.” Bella suddenly spoke again.
“The news broke in the circle of friends?”
Eckert couldn’t help but want to hit someone.
It’s not an official announcement, it’s just a leak in the circle of friends. How credible can it be?
"Although it was the friend circle that broke the news, according to the news on Longguo Internet, it is no less than the official announcement, because it is Dr. Qian Qiuliang's circle of friends, and there are many neurologists from other hospitals in Longguo rushing there overnight. Magic City, including Xiehe, Huaxi, Xiangtan..."
"..."
Eckert was silent.
Just believe it, there is no official announcement.
Believe it or not, all the neurologists from Longguo’s prestigious hospitals are rushing to the Magic City. Apparently something big has happened.
Do you believe this or not?
Eckert didn’t dare to gamble.
After being silent for about 20 seconds, he took a deep breath and said: "This matter cannot be hidden. The IMF International Fund Review Team may come back, and you just say that I am out. No matter what, we The ALS project must continue."
"Understood."
Bella nodded.
If the ALS project is withdrawn, they will have no money to make money, so now they have to make peace.
After giving instructions, Eckert opened the lock and furiously looked for a place to hide.
......
Just as Eckert expected, less than fifteen minutes after the IMF international fund review team left, a call came from their superiors.
“What?”
“I understand.”
“Okay!”
“I understand.”
The phone was hung up, and the female examiner sitting in the back seat said quickly: "Go back to the IRDiRC International Rare Disease Research Alliance headquarters, Eckert is a cunning guy, he is cheating money!"
"Huh?"
"What?"
The two male examiners were confused.
Eckert cheated money?
He is one of the best scientific researchers in the neurological field in the world, but he actually wants to defraud R&D funds?
“I don’t know what happened, but the boss is up. Long Guo has developed a special invasive brain-computer interface that can cure late-stage ALS, an inhibitor of TDP-43 protein It’s completely useless!”
“His!”
“His!”
As the female examiner explained, the other two companions couldn’t help but take a breath. .
They were not surprised that Eckert defrauded R&D funds, but that Long Guo actually overtook others in the medical field!
You must know that the fields in which Longguo lags behind are not only semiconductors, but also high-precision fields and the medical field.
High-end life science instruments such as nuclear magnetic resonance imaging systems, high-content cell analysis imaging systems, laser scanning imaging systems, biomolecular interaction meters, laser confocal microscopes, inverted fluorescence microscopes, high-throughput protein stability analyzers, etc., Longguo can only import.
If you don’t know what these equipments are, you can put it more bluntly, that is, hospitals are “high-end” and basically rely on imports for equipment that costs tens of millions.
But the emergence of brain-computer interface has broken the understanding of the IMF International Fund trio. It seems that Longguo’s scientific and technological background has exploded in a concentrated manner in the near future.
They didn’t think much and hurriedly followed the instructions from above and rushed back to the headquarters of IRDiRC International Rare Disease Research Alliance to ask for an explanation.
However.
Wait until they enter the headquarters again.
Eckert has long since disappeared, leaving Bella alone with questions.
Half an hour passed. Three people from the IMF International Fund returned without success.
At the same time.
other side.
Washington, USA, across the ocean.
In the Parliament Hill, Renato Marotta looked at the Dragon Kingdom Internet in disbelief. The content inside made him uneasy.
"Brain-computer interface can cure ALS and is also expected to overcome depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease..."
"Fake!"
Renato Marotta couldn't help but slap the table.
What does Long Guo want to do?
How many years has it been laid out?
In the past, Longxing Group conquered the complete industrial chain of information communications and semiconductors. Later, Frontier Technology developed military drones and changed the world's war pattern. Now you tell me, Longguo also has a medical field. The king of bombs?
How to play this?
How to play this?
I thought Long Guo had a pair of three, but I didn’t expect it was Wang Zha!
"This is the worst news today. The medical position cannot be lost again." Renato Marotta did not hesitate for a moment and directly called Clayton, the patriarch of the Rothschild family.
A moment later.
The call was answered.
“What’s going on?”
Clayton obviously doesn’t know yet, and he is still studying with other Jewish family patriarchs how to fight back.
“Something happened.”
The first words of Renato Marotta made Clayton stunned for half a second, and his heart also pounded, feeling that something was not good. .
“Say, what’s the matter.”
"There has been a major breakthrough in the medical field of Longguo. I heard that a brain-computer interface has been developed that can cure ALS, and is also expected to cure depression, Alzheimer's disease, and epilepsy..."
"You Are you sure?"
"Trust my intelligence department."
"..."
Silence.
Silence is their Cambridge.
It is no exaggeration to say that Clayton almost went dark.
If semiconductor chips and information communications were far ahead, he could tolerate it, but in the medical field, he really couldn't stand it anymore, and their plans were completely disrupted.
Why do the Rothschilds keep a low profile?
It’s because of a plan!
The previous Rothschild patriarch and 12 powerful elders jointly voted on a 50-year development plan.
The content of the plan is very simple, that is, they must complete control of the world's economy, media, technology, medical care, and food within 50 years.
The Rothschild family has firmly controlled the world economy and media. The Federal Reserve, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Hollywood film companies, and well-known TV stations such as ABC are all in their hands.
For the remaining technology, medical care, and food, the forces cultivated by the Rothschild family, such as the IMF International Fund, are also fully infiltrating.
Now that Cheng Yaojin has appeared halfway, it is still during the critical period of the financial war, which makes Clayton really feel "tired".
They have been planning for more than 30 years. In less than three years, the economy, media, technology, and medical care have all been severely impacted.
"Who did it?"
Clayton clenched his fists.
The other Jewish family patriarchs were stunned. This was the first time they saw Clayton looking like this, as if he wanted to eat someone.
“I don’t know anything yet, I only know that the implantation surgery was done at Ruijin Hospital.”
As soon as Renato Marotta finished answering, there was a knock on the door of his office, and then the secretary walked in with an urgent document:
"Speaker, there is new news about the brain-computer interface, our The eyeliner found out that Chen Xing appeared in Ruijin Hospital in the past two days. "Chen Xing?" Clayton was also shocked, why is this man everywhere?
Semiconductor closed loop, they endured it.
5G high-speed network, they endured it.
Military drones, they tolerated them.
Using Longguo currency to bind technology and challenge the international trade status of the US dollar, they still tolerate it.
But they are not the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They really can’t stand it this time. Every time there is a technological breakthrough in the Dragon Kingdom, there is this man. Now Renato Marotta and Clayton are both A terrible guess came up, that is, could the brain-computer interface also belong to Longxing Group?
“Are you sure?”
Renato Marotta questioned.
“After repeated confirmation, the implanter seems to have a close relationship with Chen Xing.” The moment the secretary’s report fell, Renato Marotta could no longer hold back and complained in his heart: “ Chen Xingqi is really a born plague god. Wherever he goes, things happen, damn guy!"
Although he was complaining in his heart, he still kept his expression calm and said: "I know, you. Let's go out first."
"Okay." The secretary nodded, put down the documents, and left the office.
“What should we do now?” Renato Marotta lowered his voice and could no longer hide the panic in his eyes. He continued: “If the medical field is lost again, we will have only one trump card left. There are not many, and they pose no threat to the Dragon Kingdom. "
Putting aside other factors, there are actually only a few fields that are the most essential and influential in the world, namely economy, technology, military, medical and... food.
Needless to say about the economy, in a country with a good economy, only the domestic people can experience life, not survive.
There is only one word difference between life and survival, but it is a world of difference. Like a small and poor country in Africa, they can only survive.
Technology, military and medical care are extensions of the economy. If a country wants to leap into a superpower, it cannot do without high-precision technology, mature medical care, and strong military power.
As for the last food, it is the foundation of human survival. Without food, the economy, technology, military and other fields are useless.
but!
In the above areas, Dragon Kingdom has the strength to fight.
Economy, now the Dragon Country currency is gaining momentum. It uses the GIANTPANDA bank settlement system to establish independent trade settlements with other countries and get rid of the control of the US dollar.
Technology, Longxing Group's chips, Territory's drones, Nvidia's graphics cards, and the rise of Internet companies all indicate that Longguo Technology is overtaking in a corner!
Military, Dongfeng Express, Dragon-20, Pang-20, Beidou satellite, Reaper drone, and the 055 drive that has attracted much attention while still under development, can strike hard at any time.
Grain, since ancient times, the Dragon Kingdom has been a large farming country. Its grain reserves are not only the largest in the world, but also one of the top three. However, it is worth mentioning that the Dragon Kingdom is the only one that allows the four major grain merchants. For countries that are suffering, food security has always been a national red line.
Now that the medical field is in turmoil again, both Renato Marotta and Creighton feel helpless and don't know how to show their kindness.
Listening to Renato Marotta's question about what to do, Clayton looked sluggish and gave an unexpected answer: "How long have they been planning for? It took three years to defeat my decades-long plan."
Do you think that when the Rothschild family fades out of the public eye, they really disappear and stop interfering in world affairs?
No!
They just learned their lesson and moved behind the scenes collectively.
What neither Clayton nor the Rothschild family expected was that the fields of technology, media, military, economy, medical care, and food that they had laid out for decades would blossom and be impacted. Perfect to the point of perfection.
“What happened?”
“What decades of planning?”
“Something big happened?”
Other clan leaders were confused. I have no idea what Clayton is talking about. Isn't it a financial meeting to start the defense battle next week? How do you say something is available or not?
However, what they didn’t know was that after 17 years, someone took the empty seat in the game with the United States again, and it was a chess player from the East!
Hearing the chatter around him, Clayton also reacted and responded to Renato Marotta: "Wait for me to call you back."
Waiting for Renato Marotta Ta replied and he immediately hung up the phone.
“Dududu——”
Listening to the busy tone coming from the receiver, Renato Marotta knew clearly what he had to do. If there was a breakthrough in the medical field, a large number of wealthy people would be likely to move to the Dragon Country. The biggest impact would be on the United States. Because the United States is a country of immigrants. To be precise, it is a country of talent immigrants. It only has top talents in various fields.
As soon as Clayton on the other side hung up the phone, the clan leader immediately asked: "Did something happen?"
Clayton did not hide it, because according to the rules behind these clan leaders, The family's energy can definitely be detected in less than half an hour.
"Longguo announced an invasive brain device. The specific function is unclear, but the known function is that it can cure ALS."
"Hiss!"
< br>The Jewish patriarchs took a breath of cold air.
"Brain-invasive devices?"
"Virtual reality?"
"Is this the smart device that Chen Xing mentioned in the "International Conference on 5G Networks"? It can’t control a robot, right?”
“This is crazy!”
"Machine means can cure diseases. Could it be that Longguo is already researching nanorobots to conquer existing diseases?"
At this moment.
No one can remain calm.
The concept of nanorobots has always been a controversial topic in the medical community and is also hailed as an achievable means of treating cancer.
What are nanorobots?
As the name suggests, nanoscale robots, similar to bacteriophages, can specifically eliminate harmful cells, such as cancer cells.
Now that invasive brain computers are available, who can guarantee that there will be no nanorobots in the Dragon Kingdom?
“Moreover.” Clayton interrupted the other clan leaders and said solemnly: “Chen Xing appeared at the brain-computer interface implantation hospital, and Longxing Group is likely to be the technology provider.”< br>
When the words fell, all the Jewish family patriarchs present looked shocked.
“Chen Xing???”
"It's this kid again!!!"
"Why is he still haunting???"
"This damn guy, why hasn't Satan sent him to hell yet!!!" ”
