"Hello, is this Mr. Wei?"
"It's me, who are you?" Wei Kang looked at the Yingguo phone number displayed on his phone and asked in confusion.
Normally, he would not answer any unfamiliar calls from overseas, but a few days ago the administration department received an unfamiliar email.
The email claimed to be from the Lasker Foundation of Eagle Country New Village, announcing that Wei Kang had won this year's Lasker Clinical Medical Research Award, and would personally announce the matter to him within a few days and extend his sincere congratulations.
Initially, the administrative department thought it was a phishing email from overseas. Later, they searched for the Lasker Medical Award and found out that it was a very important award. They quickly conveyed it to Wei Kang, and that's how the phone call came.
"Hello, this is the Lasker Foundation in Xincun. My name is George and I am a member of the review committee. It is a great honor to inform you, dear Mr. Wei, that you have won this year's Lasker Clinical Medical Research Award."
"Originally there were dozens of nominees, but when their achievements were compared with yours, they were like fireflies compared with the sun. They suddenly dimmed. Your achievements last year were amazing. Not only did you miraculously cure cancer, He has also made respectable achievements in the field of neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, he stood out early and won this honor."
"We will officially announce this news later and mail you a formal invitation letter. Your company's mailbox will also receive an email with a detailed award collection date and other matters. If you have any questions , you can call this number back, or call the number of the Awards Committee Office in the email.”
Wei Kang was very happy to hear this and quickly thanked him: "Okay, thank you!"
He suddenly remembered something and asked again: "I'm sorry, I want to ask, how much is the bonus? And if I can't leave, can someone collect it on my behalf?"
The other party replied very kindly: "We understand that scientists are very busy and focus on their own careers, so of course they can receive it on their behalf. As for the bonus, it is a trivial US$300,000. It depends on your identity and what you have done." Of course it’s nothing compared to my achievements, but it’s a symbol of honor.”
"Okay, if you have no questions, I won't bother you. After all, your time can save many people's lives. Congratulations again on winning the award and express my respect for you. I look forward to seeing you in the new village. .Mr. Wei, after all, all of us are very curious about you."
Wei Kang hung up the phone and informed the administration of the news.
Not long after, the administration department forwarded the received email.
At the same time, the good news was announced within the company.
All the staff immediately cheered.
"Wow, President Wei is awesome. The Lasker Medical Award is called the Nobel Prize. It is the highest award in the medical field of Eagle Country."
"It is said that the scientists who win this award will become Nobel Prize winners this year or in the next few years."
"I doubt that President Wei will win the Nobel Prize in October this year."
"Removing the word doubt, if this year's Nobel Prize is not awarded to the boss, it will lose its fairness and everyone will be dissatisfied."
"The National Health Commission has developed anti-cancer drugs and AD specific drugs. These are groundbreaking achievements in the world. They are unprecedented and unprecedented."
"Haha, I have to go and congratulate the boss. When the boss is happy, he might give out red envelopes to everyone again."
Although everyone's income is good, the lowest-level administrative clerks earn hundreds of thousands a year, and R&D personnel can easily earn hundreds of thousands a year.
But I am still very happy to receive a red envelope from Mr. Wei and feel a little happy.
Mr. Wei is so generous to everyone, giving high wages and generous bonuses. When such a boss wins an award, everyone is happy for him from the bottom of their hearts.
The Lasker Medal in Medicine is the top award in the medical field after the Nobel Prize and the most prestigious biomedical award in Eagle Country.
The award has a history of more than seventy years and aims to recognize scientists, doctors and public service personnel who have made outstanding contributions in the fields of life sciences and medicine.
The discoveries and achievements of the laureates not only expanded human cognition, but also affected millions of people. Their achievements have stood the rigorous test of time and science and have benefited the whole world.
The award is divided into three categories: basic medicine award, clinical medicine award and public service award. Later, a special contribution award was added. The first two are specially awarded to scientists. The winners usually receive the Nobel Prize in the following one to several years. prize.
The winners are selected by a review committee composed of outstanding scientists from all over the world. Being able to win the award often represents the recognition and admiration of authoritative experts in the medical and academic circles.
The first domestic winner is Ms. Tu Youyou, who won the award for her discovery of artemisinin used to treat malaria, which saved millions of lives around the world, especially in developing countries. Four years later she won the Nobel Prize.
Also winning celebrities are the Bills and Bills, who received the Public Service Award for their philanthropic investment in the fields of medicine and health, which has improved the lives of millions of poor people.
All in all, this was a very huge honor, but Wei Kang didn't take it too seriously.
His current achievements no longer need any awards to prove it. On the contrary, if a top award does not have his name, it will have no authority and lose its impartiality.
Curing cancer and Alzheimer's disease, these two achievements are enough to win two Nobel Prizes and become one of the few great scientists in human history.
However, no matter how big or small the award is, it represents the recognition and goodwill of the world and peers, so Wei Kang happily accepted it.
Most of the winners of various industry honors around the world are Westerners, with a small number from other countries. The East does not rank at all.
There are only a handful of Nobel Prize and other award winners, probably no more than ten, and many of them are not of Chinese nationality.
These awards are a reflection of international academic influence and can also attract more talents.
Looking through the long list of Nobel Prize winners, one can often see the entire history of mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and medicine. Countless familiar discoveries and laws all come from these winners.
Every time Wei Kang sees these lists, he is often deeply touched.
This entire award-winning catalog is the cornerstone of modern science.
There are so few Chinese names in it that they can almost be ignored.
China's basic disciplines are still too weak, and technological breakthroughs are often inseparable from the development of basic disciplines.
It is the discoveries and laws of these basic disciplines that have led to the development of all the technologies and lives that humans now have.
This status quo must be changed, and we should have a place in it.
Wei Kang thought silently and made a new decision about the future development direction of Sanqing.
An idea came to mind: China should also have its own world-class awards, using high bonuses to encourage all scientific researchers to conduct more basic scientific research.
When the Nobel Prize was established, he was also a wealthy entrepreneur, and he, Wei Kang, was also a wealthy entrepreneur. It was very reasonable to establish a world-class science award as a tribute to his predecessors.
The Nobel Prize's bonus standard is very high. Nobel believed at the time that the bonus should support scientists to devote themselves to scientific research for 20 years without salary. Based on this standard, bonuses were issued to encourage scientists to devote themselves to science, so that they would no longer have to worry about anything.
He Wei Kang can do it too!
He has never been afraid of comparing money.
As long as Sanqing exists, this award will always exist and will have a steady source of funding.
However, specific matters need to be carefully considered.
In an excited mood, he quickly replied to the email, saying that he had more important things to do and could not leave for the time being, and that the person in charge of Sanqing's laboratory would pick it up on his behalf.
He was going to send Chen Yiqing as the agent. Chen Yiqing had devoted many years to fighting Alzheimer's disease and deserved this honor even more. He even felt that it was unfair that the jury did not include Sanqing's R&D team.
Later, Sanqing released the good news on its official website, which immediately triggered congratulations from the entire network, and there was an endless stream of congratulations.
Academicians Qi, Xie and Chang sent congratulatory messages one after another, and even Academician Tu also rarely expressed congratulations.
Moments later, the news that Wei Kang won the Lasker Medicine Prize broke the Internet.
And it quickly made the headlines of major news and topped the list of hot searches.
