"Is this Dr. Tao Enhai?"

The speaker seemed to be someone who got off the car in the parking space next door. Tao Enhai turned around and saw a young man wearing the latest smart glasses. Judging from his appearance, he should be in his early thirties, but there is nothing "calm" about his temperament. This point reminded Tao Enhai of the new resident doctor in his department.

It's that kind of... maybe knowing that he is going to suffer, but he still doesn't care.

Tao Enhai wanted to shake hands. But he put his hand down halfway and asked, "Who are you?"

These are parking spaces reserved by the hospital, half of which are used by employees. It's just that the new guy is really unfamiliar.

The man took out a gold metal business card holder from his pocket and pulled out a business card: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Xiang Shan. I am a scientist. I opened a research-oriented technology company with my friends a few years ago. "

Tao Enhai took the business card hesitantly. Due to the aftermath of some events, his hands would tremble unnaturally. But it was enough for him to read clearly the words on the business card.

"'Transhumanism' Co., Ltd., Chairman Xiang Shan." He read.

In addition to contact information such as phone number and email address, there are two QR codes on the business card.

The name "transhumanism" is somewhat unfamiliar. Tao Enhai vaguely remembered where he had heard it, but he couldn't remember it for a while. but……

"Sorry, I really have no impression. It shouldn't be a pharmaceutical company?" Tao Enhai asked.

The reason why he asked this was because... it was somewhat rude to say it. If the title of "Chairman" was not actually written on the business card, he would probably think that this somewhat frivolous man was a medical representative somewhere.

The so-called "pharmaceutical representative" is a kind of professional salesman trained by pharmaceutical companies.

Almost every doctor has dealt with a medical representative. Tao Enhai was not happy to hang out with these guys, but a chief physician who had the power to decide what surgical consumables were used had always been the focus of medical representatives. No matter how unhappy he was, Tao Enhai was passively fed the names of many pharmaceutical companies by the medical representatives who kept buzzing like flies.

"Ha, that's a good question. 'Transhumanism' is indeed not a pharmaceutical company in the 'traditional sense'." The man emphasized certain words, which seemed meaningful.

This made Tao Enhai even more confused.

"Let me put it out there first. After all, our business scope is a bit complex." Xiang Shan cleared his throat and extended his hand again: "Dr. Tao, this time I'm here to invite you to join our company."

"Ah?" Tao Enhai shook his head: "What did you say?"

"Aren't you planning to leave the clinical field and switch to research? - The Neurosurgery Department of Ditan Hospital has a cooperative relationship with the McGowan Brain Research Institute of Peking University." Xiang Shan smiled and said: "One of the directors of our company's research department That's where Chen Feng came from. He also has a nominal laboratory in the institute. I learned about you through that place."

"Ah...oh, Professor Chen Feng." Tao Enhai nodded. This name did make an impression on him. I did have dealings with that director several times. But that person should be doing research on... primate vision or something? There is not much overlap between the two sides. He did hear that Mr. Chen Feng had gone to work in the industry in recent years and had made outstanding achievements.

"This..." Tao Enhai hesitated for a moment: "It's an honor for you to come and invite me in person. But I have already made an appointment with someone from Eastern United to talk. Moreover, even if I transfer to a research position, I will choose my own. field……"

This is also true. If he just wanted to find a job in a research position, Tao Enhai would have gone to the McGowan Institute for Brain Science, which cooperates with the hospital. Even if Tao Enhai leaves his clinical position, he still wants to contribute to the development of medicine.

Although he knows that the theoretical foundation is also important, "technology that is more meaningful to contemporary people" should also be developed by someone.

Perhaps standing in the lower reaches of history, no one cares about the unknown people who will die of illness today. But...it's impossible for the patient to not care.

It is for this reason that he plans to talk to domestic pharmaceutical companies first.

"Don't be too busy refusing, Doctor Tao." The man smiled confidently. He seemed to feel that what he said was beyond doubt.

He said: "It's not just us who need you, Doctor Tao. You might also need us. You will change your mind later after you read the materials I brought."

"But, I made an appointment with Eastern United today..."

"Ah, it's okay, I don't mind waiting." Xiang Shan smiled and said: "Even if you sign a contract with the people from Eastern United today, we can continue to talk. After all, the contract is not a contract of betrayal, and Eastern United will not prevent you from changing jobs. no?"

--this……

Tao Enhai felt a sense of absurdity in his heart. How sure is this guy in front of him that he will definitely join transhumanism?

Why?

But soon, Tao Enhai felt the energy of this mysterious company.

Before the two of them entered the hospital, the vice president came out cheerfully: "Dong Xiang, you are welcome to come to our hospital for an on-site inspection... Hahaha, you came in with Director Tao Enhaitao? Do you know each other?"

Xiang Shan nodded: "We just met. We happened to meet him in the parking lot."

The vice president accompanied the chairman with a smile on his face as he walked around the hospital, introducing the glorious history of this hospital's neurosurgery along the way.

This made Tao Enhai a little confused.

The reason why he was talking to people at work was because he did not want to leave the hospital completely, but wanted to promote a "cooperative project between the hospital and the research institute." To take a step back, he also hopes to have a buffer to get used to it before completely transferring to a research position.

Normally, the vice president would have no reason to be so polite to a company executive suspected of poaching people.

——This company really has a lot of energy...

After bidding farewell to the two of them and entering the office, Tao Enhai took out his mobile phone and said, "Student AI, open your browser and search for 'Transhumanism Co., Ltd.'"

The voice assistant gave the results quickly.

The first piece of news made Tao Enhai feel suffocated.

"The famous scientist Yawgmoth Voigt came to China, and our country's high-tech enterprise announced the Nobel Prize winner."

——Yawgmoth Voigt...

Tao Enhai felt a little dizzy.

Yawgmoth Voigt is a name that everyone in biology-related fields cannot avoid. He changed the paradigm of biological research and deciphered the mysteries of life at a deeper level. At the same time, the pharmaceutical leap brought about by "enzyme system cracking" has also greatly benefited the medical field.

In recent years, many doctors have to relearn pharmacology to adapt to the endless emergence of new drugs.

Otherwise, sometimes they would not be able to understand the new content that the medical representatives memorized by rote.

That is to say, it is difficult for the media to describe how awesome this great person is, so they describe him as "Nobel Prize winner". But in the eyes of professionals, "Yawgmoth won the Nobel Prize" does not mean that the Nobel Prize brings honor to Yawgmoth, but on the contrary, it is the fact that this person won the Nobel Prize that makes the Nobel Prize particularly convincing. .

"Yes, this big boss is in Peiping..." Tao Enhai said: "It's actually the company he works in?"

To be honest, this made Tao Enhai a little excited.

Data shows that Yawgmoth Voigt has been staying in Peking over the years (it seems that the culture and education department has always regarded this as a political achievement), and he is not just a name in this company.

But soon, he drove away these distracting thoughts.

He wants to devote himself to medical development. He made an oath the day he entered the industry. He thinks this is quite important.

but……

When discussing with the representatives of Eastern United, he was indeed a little shaken. At the same time, he also noticed that the other party was somewhat coping.

On the contrary, the most anxious person was actually Vice President Zheng.

Dean Zheng seems to be the person who hopes most that he and Dongfang United can reach a cooperation project.

Tao Enhai thought for a moment and realized why. Dean Zheng also contributed a lot to his negotiations with Dongfang United.

The person who went out to greet Xiang Dong just now was another vice president.

It's an unspoken thing.

Soon, the people from Eastern United stated the projects and benefits they could provide. The two shook hands.

Later, another vice president brought Xiang Shan into this small conference room. Xiangshan asked the deputy dean in a low voice, seemingly asking if he could connect his smart device to the projector. A technician quickly took care of it.

Xiangshan opened the briefcase he carried with him, took out a document, and said: "This is a technical document, Doctor Tao. It is a bit complicated, you can read it slowly. In addition, I also have a video document here, which can be more intuitive. to show you one of our latest 'products'."

The chairman pinched the end of his spectacles leg close to the frame with his right hand and said: "Assistant, play video number 030412."

"OK."

The projector throws an image on the screen. The video shows a guinea pig. It seemed like there was something wrong with it, its whole body was stiff and motionless, only its mouth was trembling.

"This little white mouse has just had its middle section of its spine artificially broken, which is equivalent to high-level paraplegia in humans." Xiang Shan said, "Please continue reading."

Later, in the video, a researcher injects something into the mouse. Then, the video accelerated, and not long after, the high paraplegic mouse began to tremble all over...trembling...

This little white rat even rolled over!

Although this only caused it to fall a few more times, but...but...

An advanced animal with paraplegia could actually move its limbs that should not be able to move!

"This is one of our research projects, internally codenamed 'XHD126', an enzyme that 'maybe' can repair the nervous system - a magic of life."
