"That's it. I will spend 2 million euros to establish Li's Biotechnology Company, and you will serve as the acting general manager and chief scientist temporarily."
"For this experiment, 500,000 euros will be used as research funding."
"When the experiment is successful, your temporary appointment will become official."
"I will also give you 5% of the company's shares at that time."
In a corner of a coffee shop, Li Mu said to Kingsley.
"5%?" Kingsley was surprised.
"That's too little?" Li Mu raised his eyebrows.
"No, no, no...that's a lot."
Kingsley waved his hands repeatedly: "1% is too much for me."
"You are willing to pay to help me treat Annie, but I have nothing in return."
In addition to cooperation matters, Li Mu also expressed to Kingsley that he would fully bear the cost of Anne's treatment.
This is what Kingsley Weir is most grateful for.
Li Mu smiled: "Don't be too grateful to me. The money I spend now is just an investment in you."
"As long as you can make me trust you."
"Of course, you can trust me 100%." Kingsley said solemnly: "For Anne, I will never let you down."
Li Mu smiled and nodded.
At this time, he finally understood why the bosses liked employees with families and children.
Don’t worry!
"Okay, if that's the case, then I'm relieved."
"I'll leave the experiment to you. Of course, I will do the data analysis."
"good!"
The plan is finalized and implemented immediately.
The company address is established in the Cayman Islands. It is naturally established here to avoid taxes. Otherwise, it is better than establishing it in Germany.
Of course, research matters can be done in Germany.
As a country with very developed medicine, Germany is very convenient for conducting biomedical research here.
However, they encountered a problem when renting the laboratory.
Because Kingsley Weir once caused accidents in the laboratory, he was almost blacklisted by those laboratories.
It wasn't until Li Mu came forward in the end that the laboratory reluctantly agreed.
"Mr. Li, it is for your sake that we rent the laboratory to you this time."
"I don't know how you cooperated with this person. Has he ever mentioned to you that he once caused a serious accident during an experiment? Such a careless person is not suitable for experiments."
In the laboratory, the person in charge said to Li Mu.
"I know." Li Mu said, "But I also believe that people will not fall twice in the same place."
"Since you said so, I won't advise you." The person in charge didn't say any more. Anyway, if there is an accident, just compensate according to the price. It just so happens that their laboratory is quite old, so maybe it will be repaid by then. A batch of experimental equipment can be replaced.
"Then I wish your experiment a success."
"Thanks."
Li Mu nodded slightly.
The person in charge left here.
Li Mu patted Kingsley Weir on the shoulder: "Don't feel embarrassed, and don't feel sad because of the shame. The most important thing you should do now is to prove yourself."
Kingsley Weir loosened his clenched hand, then took a deep breath and said, "You are right, I should prove myself again, thank you, boss."
Li Mu nodded.
In this way, he can be considered to have completely won over this human heart.
He can probably rest assured about the next experiment.
"After that, the laboratory will be completely left to you."
"I have to leave Germany."
Hearing Li Mu's words, Kingsley Weir was stunned: "Where are you going?"
"When I go back to school, I'm still a graduate student." Li Mu said.
Kingsley Weir was immediately stunned.
Feelings: My boss is actually a graduate student?
Not graduated yet?
This really caught him off guard.
"This is... really surprising."
Kingsley Weir suddenly felt that following such a boss, even if he did not consider Li Mu's kindness to him, was actually quite good.
At least this kind of boss' ability can completely convince him.
Li Mu smiled, then said no more, and after giving some instructions on related matters, he left the laboratory without staying any longer.
Kingsley Weir looked at his leaving figure and secretly made a decision in his heart.
He must do the experiment well.
…
In the following time, Li Mu returned to England and returned to school, and Kingsley Weir also started his experiment.
Because Li Mu gave him a lot of freedom, for him, this also allowed him to use his abilities well.
Facts have proved that, as a former associate professor at ETH Zurich, his ability is still very strong.
I have a clear grasp of many regulations of the experiment.
And indeed, as he said, he remembered every detail of the blood clot research experiment very clearly.
Not long after Li Mu returned to Oxford, he received several experimental reports from Kingsley Weir.
"Well...squeeze the juice of Rehmannia and use a centrifuge to separate the different components..."
"Respectively prepare human whole blood clots, platelet-rich plasma clots, and pure fibrin clots... in vitro thrombolysis experiments..."
"The experimental results are: it has a certain dissolving effect on several types of thrombus..."
Thrombus can simply be understood as a symptom in which blood condenses into a solid form in blood vessels, causing blood flow to be blocked, thereby causing various health problems in the human body.
Problems such as myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, etc. are mostly caused by blood clots.
Currently, the commonly used treatment methods include thrombolytic drugs and artificial mechanical methods.
Of course, in the treatment of thrombosis, drugs are mainly used. When artificial mechanical methods are really needed, it is usually in very serious cases.
As a common symptom, the market size of thrombolytic drugs is naturally very high.
The purpose of their experiment was to develop a new thrombolytic drug.
At present, thrombolytic drugs have developed to the fourth generation, but the fourth generation is still under research, so the most effective drugs on the market are third-generation drugs.
Of course, good effects always have some drawbacks, and the high price is its main drawback, so this makes the scale of use of the first and second generation drugs relatively large.
However, the current fourth-generation thrombolytic drugs, PAI-1 inhibitor drugs, are relatively lower in price and more effective than the third-generation drugs. Their core concept is to inhibit the human body’s PAI-1 level in the blood to achieve thrombolytic effect.
However, according to Kingsley Weir, the thrombolysis he discovered in the experiment was neither consistent with the thrombolysis effect of the first three generations, nor did PAI-1 levels significantly decrease.
This is likely to be another principle of thrombolysis and has never been discovered by the academic community.
This is not surprising. The scientific community still knows very little about the mysteries of the human body. It is also expected that there are unknown factors in thrombolysis.
Before this, Kingsley Weir had never disclosed this matter to the outside world. Only now did he tell Li Mu.
After all, in order to live up to Li Mu's expectations and gain trust, he had to prove something.
…
"Wait, Rehmannia seems to be..."
After reading the first experimental report, he looked back at the term again, and Li Mu was suddenly stunned.
"Rehmannia glutinosa?"
Rehmannia glutinosa is a very famous medicinal material in traditional Chinese medicine, and among its effects, it does have anti-thrombotic effects.
Emotions The experiment that Kingsley Weir discovered that was very effective against blood clots was actually found using traditional Chinese medicine?
Li Mu flipped through other experimental reports, and sure enough he found several other experiments focusing on Chinese medicinal materials, such as salvia miltiorrhiza, angelica root, etc.
This made him sigh with emotion. A lot of people in China advocated the abolition of traditional Chinese medicine, but people abroad have been working hard to study things related to traditional Chinese medicine.
How ironic.
Shaking his head, he didn't think about it any more.
I put down these experimental reports and sent an encouraging message to Kingsley Weir.
Anyway, just leave the experiment to Kingsley Weir. He only needs to process the experimental data later.
For the time being, he can also turn his attention to his main job - mathematics.
Although he has been studying biological things recently, he has also been thinking about Goldbach's conjecture.
"To realize the combination of sieve method and circle method from the perspective of algebraic geometry..."
"K-module theory... It seems that I have to combine the sieve method and the circle method in the same module form first, and then I can easily combine it with K-theory."
"Um……"
Li Mu took out the scratch paper and began to study.
【(1+MK )/(1+MNK)……】
"Um……?"
Li Mu suddenly discovered an interesting direction.
"It seems feasible..."
Modular form is a very important theory in mathematics. It is called by mathematician Eichler as the fifth operation method besides addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
In K-module theory, module form, as an important component, plays a very key role.
After some attempts, Li Mu was pleasantly surprised to find that he seemed to have found a way out!
The progress on Goldbach's conjecture has been stagnant for a long time, and today we can finally move forward!
Inspired by the inspiration, Li Mu finished writing a draft of more than ten pages without spending much effort.
till the end--
"Successfully integrating the sieve method, circle method, and modular form theory...can I even directly combine the two?"
His original purpose was to combine the circle method and the sieve method, and finally work together to prove Goldbach's conjecture.
With this thought in his mind, Li Mu immediately started trying. However, he finally found that it was not as simple as he imagined.
"Even after entering the mold form, the two still cannot be completely combined..."
Li Mu thought slightly.
Of course, this is not unexpected. In mathematics, some problems are difficult to solve in their original form, but if they are changed into another form, there is a way out.
Just like the Model Conjecture proved by Faltings.
As a conjecture in the field of number theory, it is very difficult to prove this conjecture in number theory, but if you put it into algebraic geometry, you can find some information that cannot be seen in the form of number theory, and borrow This information can achieve the final proof.
This is why the mathematical community wants to implement the Langlands Program, which is to unify number theory, algebraic geometry and group representation theory, so as to help mathematicians better solve various problems.
"It seems that we still have to use K-module theory and finally turn them into an algebraic geometry problem."
Thinking of this, Li Mu smiled lightly.
"Then just keep doing this."
At least doing math problems is more comfortable than studying biology.
But just when he was about to continue, he suddenly noticed that the phone next to him lit up. He opened it and saw that he had received an email. After looking at it carefully, he found that there was more than just this email. It took about an hour. He also received another one before.
The sender of the first email is...
"IMU... World Mathematical Union?"
He opened the email and took a look...
[Dear Li: Hello! The 29th World Congress of Mathematicians is scheduled to be held in St. Petersburg, Russia, on July 6, 2022. We sincerely invite you to attend this conference and give a one-hour plenary report. We are very much looking forward to what you will share in your report.
If you are sure to accept the invitation for this report, please go to the following website to register...]
Li Mu was stunned when he saw this email.
World...Congress of Mathematicians?
Look at the time, July 6, 2022!
There's about a year left.
Of course, these are not the key, but that the World Congress of Mathematicians invited him to give a report, and it was a one-hour plenary report!
As one of the world's top mathematical academic conferences, the World Congress of Mathematicians plays a very important role in the mathematics community.
Anyone who can receive an invitation to the conference and give a report at the conference is a very high honor in the mathematics community, and it is a high recognition of a scholar's mathematical achievements by the mathematics community.
The invited reports are divided into 45-minute reports and one-hour reports.
Among them, the 45-minute reports are divided into small reports based on different research directions in mathematics. There are usually many reports at the same time. They are usually arranged in small conference rooms, and the participants are divided into small reports according to their own interests. Selective viewing, each conference will hold nearly 200 games.
The one-hour report is different. It is a report for all participants. The report will be held in the largest venue. Basically, only twenty-one conferences will be held at each conference.
If a mathematician who can receive an invitation to give a 45-minute report shows that he has made high achievements in the field of mathematics he studies, then a mathematics award that receives an invitation to give a one-hour report means that his results have a great impact on the entire mathematics community. High impact.
Looking at this invitation email, Li Mu felt a surge of emotion in his heart.
At this point, he has achieved another mathematical achievement.
However, it was not an accident. With the results he had achieved, it was completely normal to receive this one-hour report invitation.
"So, what's the other email?"
Li Mu remembered the second email.
When he opened it and took a look, he was stunned again.
Because this is also an invitation.
But the difference is that he is invited to attend... an academic conference organized by ICTP International Center for Theoretical Physics on August 8!
