Chapter 16: Nobel Prize Boss

"What's going on?"

Murphy was surprised. It's just the beginning and it's all over?

Digging a hole in the living room, you'll be buried once you get in, right?

"The Drug Safety Committee requires us to conduct clinical trials first. They are going to issue a ban to prohibit the continued sale of Baiyao." Patrick said.

"Once the ban is issued, the order penalty alone will be enough to give us a headache."

Murphy frowned, "Blue Mountain Group?"

"Not only that, there are Wellcome, Glaxo Pharmaceuticals, Zeneca…"

The companies mentioned by Patrick are all British pharmaceutical giants, whose size is far beyond that of Blue Mountain, and are even more of a behemoth for the current umbrella company.

"They are all the most influential pharmaceutical companies in the fields of anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antibacterial, but Baiyao directly destroyed their market in trauma treatment."

"In addition to exerting pressure through the safety committee, they also incited public opinion. Now many media such as the BBC are questioning the safety of Baiyao."

BBC, an old Yin-Yang master.

Murphy was not surprised. After all, the pie is so big. When it comes to real money, it is not surprising that they use any means.

"Do we have any other way?" Murphy asked.

"Zeneca has proposed to acquire us." Patrick said, "In fact, these companies have secretly found someone to tell me about their intention to acquire us."

"Dream on!" Murphy didn't even think about it, "But you can talk to them, it's good to delay."

"Have you got the clinical license?"

Patrick shook his head, "They are going to exhaust us, and it is unlikely to issue a license in a short time."

"Didn't you say last time that clinical licenses in the United States are easier? Apply there, or in France. In short, apply for a license as soon as possible."

"But the safety committee may not recognize licenses from other countries."

"It doesn't matter. At least we can give those who are willing to believe in us more evidence to defend us."

"Okay." Patrick nodded, "By the way, there is one more thing."

He turned on the TV in the room, and the news channel inside was broadcasting a fire scene.

Murphy glanced at the title, "London Cross Street subway fire! Hundreds of people trapped! The number of injured has reached 47..."

He flipped through a few channels, all of which were about this incident.

Murphy glanced at Patrick. This is a tragic incident, but I'm not a firefighter. Why do you want me to watch this?

"I want to use this opportunity to donate Baiyao to the injured. Baiyao is also very effective for burns. As long as it is sprayed in time, it can also repair severe burns very well..."

"If we guide the media, maybe our public opinion image will improve."

Murphy glanced at the TV. The incident seemed to be quite serious. It seemed that the media all over the UK were paying attention to this incident. If he used this focused lens as Patrick said, it might bring some positive traffic to Baiyao.

But after thinking about it carefully, Murphy gave up.

"You can donate some Baiyao, but just keep it low-key and don't be too ostentatious."

The traffic focused on disaster events has great appeal and can make an ordinary person a hero overnight.

But at the same time, this kind of emotional attention can also cause great damage, and it is just as easy to destroy a person overnight.

Murphy doesn't think the current umbrella can control this kind of power.

"But public opinion is very unfavorable to us. Weikang has many famous experts. If they speak out against Baiyao, even if there is no ban, our sales will be greatly affected."

Murphy also feels a headache. It is one thing to have good things, but it is another thing to make buyers believe that your things are good.

"But don't use this method. The fire is currently at the forefront of the storm. Improper operation can easily lead to fire. Think about whether there is any other way?"

Patrick pondered for a while and said, "Maybe we can take the initiative and find some experts to clear our names."

This is a good idea. Murphy nodded, "Do you have a suitable candidate?"

"Yes!"

"Remember the growth factor I mentioned to you? The way the white medicine works is somewhat similar to the rumored growth factor. And last year, the discovery of growth factor just won the Nobel Prize. If it is that lady, it should be very useful."

"Who?"

"Last year's Nobel Prize winner. Rita Levi Montalcini. She is Italian, but she is a very active scientist and very influential throughout Europe."

"She recently had a lecture in Cambridge, but I don't have a suitable channel for such a big shot, so she may not be willing to meet us."

Murphy thought for a while, "I'll try."

...

Cambridge City, Silver Street.

Murphy walked into Darwin College, Cambridge University.

Since last year, Darwin College has invited authoritative scholars in various fields to hold several lectures in Mrs. Michelle's Hall every year.

And today's speaker is Rita Montalcini.

Murphy arrived early and walked around the campus.

Looking at those hurried college students, he suddenly felt a long-lost feeling, and his mood seemed to be much better.

After eating two pieces of beef at a small barbecue party, Murphy came to the venue.

The auditorium was already crowded at this moment, but when Murphy walked by, people unconsciously gave him a seat. Even when he came to the first row, a boy suddenly stood up and left as if he remembered something important, and gave his seat to Murphy.

When you use the Muggle Repelling Charm on yourself or throw it to someone or something, this effect will appear.

Murphy sat down in the first row without hesitation.

After waiting for a while, the lecture began, and an elegant old lady with gray hair walked up to the podium.

"Oh, this is really surprising." The old lady said, "There are so many young people who come to listen to an old woman's ramblings. I thought they were just trying to make me laugh by saying that this place would be full."

The theme of today's lecture is "Nerve Growth". Rita started by observing the neural development of egg embryos in her bedroom during World War II, and talked about her research on neural development and the mechanism behind it. It was this research that led to her discovery of growth factors and won the Nobel Prize.

Rita is a very good speaker who can describe the boring process of scientific discovery in a vivid and interesting way.

This opportunity to listen to the Nobel Prize winner's lecture live is really rare. Murphy also listened with relish and almost forgot his purpose.

After the speech, Rita returned to the backstage amid thunderous applause, and Murphy quickly chased backstage.

He walked through the crowd without any hindrance and came to Rita. "Professor, can I spare a moment of your time? I have a Nobel Prize-level discovery that I want to talk to you about."

"Oh, young man, then you should hurry up and publish your paper."

Well, this set of rhetoric really couldn't attract the attention of the big boss.

"I found a drug that can repair damaged nerve cells in a very short time!"

"Peripheral nerve repair is a normal mechanism. It is very likely to be accelerated under the promotion of certain growth factors. However, if you find the precise molecular path, it will also be a very good graduation thesis. If you have any questions in this regard, we can write to communicate."

"What if the repair is completed within a few minutes?"

"That's impossible." Rita said, "The chemical process of biology can be very fast at the microscopic level, but at the macroscopic level, the generation and deployment of a large amount of substances, the inhibition of damaged tissues and scar cells will greatly slow down the repair process. Even in vitro conditions, it is difficult to complete the repair within a few minutes."

Murphy smiled. This conversation has entered a field he is familiar with.

"I can show you."
