"Maybe I can help you."

When Kingsley Weir heard Li Mu's words, he was taken aback.

"Uh...thank you for your kindness, but I'm not asking for your help when I tell you this, not to mention...I have nothing of value to repay you."

Kingsley Weir shook his head.

"An associate professor at the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, although he was dismissed, how could he be worthless?"

Li Mu smiled and shook his head.

Originally, he thought that Kingsley Weir's status as an associate professor was fictitious, but now it seems that not only is his status real, but he also has real abilities.

"Think about Annie. With your current situation, it is obvious that you can't make up the expenses for Annie's treatment no matter what. Is it possible that you will continue to be deceived?"

"In this case, you will be caught by the police sooner or later. At that time, who else can take care of Anne wholeheartedly like you?"

Kingsley Weir was silent for a moment, then finally raised his head, looked at Li Mu, and said, "You're right..."

"Please tell me what value I can bring to you."

A smile appeared on Li Mu's face.

Having said so much, of course he is not purely warm-hearted.

After all, the person in front of him almost caused a biological leakage accident, and just now he wanted to use his fame to defraud investment.

It's hard to hate such a person.

And the only thing that can make Li Mu feel a little better is his attitude towards his daughter.

A person who values ​​his loved ones still has a chance of redemption.

"Before I tell you what I need you to do, I want to ask you, is the project about treating blood clots that you mentioned in the presentation just now real, or did you make it up?"

"I can swear to you that this is absolutely true!"

Kingsley Weir immediately patted his chest and promised: "Actually, as long as I get the funding, I will immediately rent a laboratory to conduct this experiment, and at most I will only use some of the money from the funding to Annie to do it once." chemotherapy."

"I have been thinking about this project for many years. When I was an associate professor at the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, I have been studying the problem of blood clots, and I have achieved certain results. A clot-dissolving drug was developed several years ago."

"And I'm sure that the effect of this new thrombolytic drug has definitely reached the level of the fourth-generation thrombolytic drug."

"The current fourth-generation thrombolytic drugs are PAI-1 inhibitors, but this drug is still in clinical trials and has not been marketed."

"As long as I can develop this new drug, anyone can become a billionaire in no time!"

Kingsley Weir's face was full of excitement, just like the emotion he had when he was in the lecture.

It can mobilize the emotions of the listener.

Of course, Li Mu remained unmoved.

The rationality brought by the computer in his mind made him just ask calmly: "But there should be a long way to go before the real success, right? If you are really close to success, you may have already pooled money to do experiments. right?"

"Well……"

Kingsley Weir's expression suddenly became embarrassing, "This... there is indeed a lot of distance... To be precise, when I was doing experiments back then, I accidentally discovered that the rate of thrombolysis in a group of experiments was unexpectedly high. well above average."

"But after I repeated the experiment many times, it was difficult to reproduce the same situation. Then that happened, and I never did this experiment again."

"But I always remember the details of that experiment. As long as I have the laboratory and equipment, I can start the experiment again immediately."

Hearing what Kingsley Weir said, Li Mu pondered for a moment, and then said, "I will pay to support you in continuing this experiment."

"In addition, during the experiment, I will use my data analysis method to help your research."

"With the experiment you've described so far, my data analysis should be helpful."

In the previous report, he had already stated at the end that if given the opportunity, he would try to verify the role of data analysis in biomedical experiments again.

And now, it happens to be an opportunity.

This is one reason why he is willing to help Kingsley Weir.

But Kingsley Weir froze for a moment, hesitated for a moment and said, "Uh... I need to explain to you that this experiment requires a lot of funds, at least 500,000 euros to start."

"For example, we first need to rent a laboratory. Although a high-end laboratory is not required, a GMP laboratory will do. However, in Germany, the monthly rent for a GMP-level laboratory is about 20,000 euros."

"In addition, there are costs for various experimental consumables, which are also one of the bulk of our money."

"In short... how much money can you support?"

"500,000 euros..." Li Mu rubbed his chin: "It's indeed a bit much."

Hearing Li Mu's words, Kingsley Weir showed disappointment on his face.

Indeed, €500,000 is a lot anyway.

With 500,000 euros in Europe, it is already considered relatively wealthy, and Li Mu is only 21 years old this year, how can he have so much money?

"If there is no money, maybe we can actually make it together. Of course, with your reputation, if you really agree with me to solicit investment in your name... Forget it, let's not talk about it."

Kingsley Weir had another expression of embarrassment on his face.

He was really embarrassed to continue to mention this matter. .

But Li Mu shook his head, "I just said that the money is a lot, but I didn't say that I can't give it."

With tens of millions of RMB lying in his bank card, it is really not a big problem to do a seven-figure experiment.

Kingsley Weldon was taken aback for a moment: "What? You actually have so much money?"

Li Mu smiled: "Otherwise, why would I say I can help you?"

Kingsley Weir was surprised for a while, and then became excited: "That's really great! The money is in place, and we can start the experiment right away!"

But at this moment, a voice came from the side: "Kingsley Weir, you are actually able to appear here? You actually lied to Li?"

Li Mu and Kingsley Weir turned their heads and saw two people walking towards them.

Both appeared to be in their fifties, and the speaker was the one on the left.

When Kingsley Weir saw this person, his face sank immediately: "Skarner Slavi, what are you doing here?"

Skarner Slavi said: "Of course I came here for the dinner. The Max Planck Society invited me. Of course I will come. As for you... I don't think the Max Planck Society will invite you. You sneaked in right?"

"I..." Kingsley Weir was speechless for a while, and the Max Planck Society did not invite him.

But at this moment, Li Mu next to him said, "I brought Mr. Weir in."

Skarner Slavi was taken aback for a moment, and then said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, it is very necessary for me to remind you that this guy is a liar. He lied to us once before, did he tell you What is the experiment of new thrombolytic drugs? Don’t believe him! The study of thrombolytic drugs is not so easy. Even if PAI-1 inhibitors have been recognized as the fourth generation of thrombolytic drugs, they have not been studied until now. It's been a long time? What's more, he is not researching PAI-1 inhibitors..."

"If you really invested money in this liar, it would only be a waste!"

Listening to the other party's words, Li Mu didn't even know the identities of these two people, "Uh... May I ask who you are?"

"Oh, sorry, I was so angry seeing this liar that I forgot about it." Skarner Slavi said with a smile: "I am the Chief Scientist of Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, Skarner Slavi Wei, and this is our vice president, Mr. Mike Conn."

Hearing the name of this company, Li Mu was a little surprised that it belonged to Pfizer.

In this way, Kingsley Weir almost found Pfizer?

Mike Conn also extended his hand to Li Mu with a smile at this time: "Dear Mr. Li, hello, nice to meet you."

Li Mu shook hands with him politely.

"All in all, just like what I just said, you can't trust this person." Skarner Slavi continued at this time: "We, Pfizer, are currently researching and developing the fourth-generation thrombolytic drug, and we have the world's most Good lab and the best team, so instead of cooperating with him, you might as well join our team, you are very welcome.”

"Especially your data analysis theory, I think this method matches our experiment very well!"

Mike Conn also said to Li Mu: "Actually, we came to you to hire you to become our company's experimental data analysis expert. Only in Pfizer can you better develop your ability, and only Pfizer is suitable for your development. In addition, the salary we plan to offer you is definitely the highest in the industry, at least tens of millions of dollars, to tell you the truth, this salary is higher than mine."

Li Mu was suddenly surprised, what?

Pfizer actually came to recruit him?

Also offered a salary of tens of millions of dollars?

Beside, Kingsley Weir, who was still very angry at first, was stunned when he heard this number, and then fell silent.

Such a high salary...

How many people in the world can refuse?

Of course, Slaoui and Conn thought so too.

They didn't expect that the company would give such a high salary.

But anyway, at this salary level, how could Li Mu refuse?

You know, even as the president of Apple, Cook's salary is only $100 million.

However, amidst their unexpected expressions, Li Mu shook his head and said, "Sorry, thank you very much for Pfizer's invitation, but I refuse."

"I prefer to study freely, just as I work on problems in mathematics and physics."

Slavi and Conn looked at each other.

"this……"

Is there really anyone who can refuse such a condition?

"Mr. Li, you can think about it again. You have brought great changes to our biomedical field, and the development of our Pfizer has always followed the changes in the biomedical field, so we need your help very much. And, if Your data analysis concept has been successful here, and it will continue to drive the follow-up of the entire biomedicine. I believe that Pfizer has such an influence, and you should also hope to see your theory shine in the entire academic world Bar?"

Conn immediately persuaded him.

"Of course I want to see this." Li Mu smiled and said, "But I prefer to use my own method to achieve it."

Kang En and Slavi were helpless, and after a lot of persuasion, Li Mu both declined.

At last they looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Well, since you're determined to do so, we can only wish you luck, and of course, we at Pfizer are always welcome to join us."

Conn said finally.

Slavi also finally said: "Good luck to you, of course I still have to tell you, don't believe this liar, you go to the Internet to check what accidents he almost caused, and you will know that such a person, no trustworthy."

Then, the two left here.

"I..."

Kingsley Weir turned his head to look at Li Mu, not knowing what to say.

Li Mu, will you still believe him?

But Li Mu didn't seem to be affected in any way, and said to him again: "Let's find a place tomorrow to discuss the details of the next cooperation."

Kingsley Weir was taken aback for a moment, and his face suddenly became ecstatic, "Thank you!"

Li Mu is still willing to cooperate with him!

...

Not far away, Adrian Kleiner and Bruce Stillman from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory watched the scene.

"Uh...they refused even a salary of tens of millions of dollars, I think... let's forget it?"

Adrian said to Bruce.

Bruce nodded approvingly: "Indeed, it's hard not to support."

Although their Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is rich, it is not as arrogant as a company like Pfizer.

"However, this Kingsley Weir, I have heard his name before. He had a paper on thrombus experiments back then, which also attracted a lot of attention in this field, and he can be called an expert in this field." Adrian touched his chin: "Also, I remember that guy Skana Slavi, who seems to be the main force in Pfizer's research on the fourth-generation thrombolytic drugs. Maybe there will be a good show now."

"There is one more thing you don't know." Bruce said: "I was also a professor at the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich for a while, and so was Slavi, so you probably don't know that there is a festival between Slavi and Weil. .”

"There is still a festival between them?" Adrian was taken aback for a moment, "No wonder Slavi always slandered Weir just now."

Bruce smiled: "Let's just wait and watch the show."

"Kingsley is actually not the key, but Li Mu is the key. Let's see if Slavi, Pfizer's chief scientist, wins first, or Li Mu's data analysis is better."

"I have a hunch that data analysis will play a big role in this process."
