On the TV station, the beautiful female host faced the camera and introduced the visiting guests nonstop.
Kelly is China's ace host, and her 'Kelly Show' talk show is very popular in Eagle Country.
At this moment, she was wearing heavy makeup and full of energy, and was conducting a live interview with live guests.
The person she was interviewing was sitting across from him, and it turned out to be Dr. Zheng Feng, who had been stealing the limelight recently.
Zheng Feng smiled and looked at the camera with a calm attitude, ready to answer the other party's questions at any time.
"The most sensational thing recently is the patent infringement lawsuit filed by Broad Institute against Sanqing Group. Lawyers from both sides are wrestling with this case. The plaintiff has obviously prepared sufficient evidence and is fully confident in winning the case. .”
"Since Sanqing Group's CRISPR technology has been banned globally, the European Medicines Agency also rejected Sanqing's clinical application for thalassemia gene drugs on the grounds of patent infringement."
"At the same time, Sanqing was also sued for patent infringement in China and requested to stop selling related drugs."
"Obviously, this pharmaceutical giant, which has risen rapidly in recent years, has encountered unprecedented difficulties. It is likely to lose the lawsuit around the world and pay high compensation and fines."
"Dr. Zheng Feng, as the plaintiff, what do you think about this? Is there anything you want to say to Sanqing?"
When the question came, Zheng Feng perked up, looked solemn, and immediately gave the prepared answer slowly.
"In this regard, I just want to reiterate the importance of patent protection. Only by respecting knowledge can science and technology continue to develop. Especially in the field of basic scientific research, many major discoveries are the result of the hard work of scientists and are their lifelong academic achievements. Intellectual property rights must be protected to be worthy of their years of hard work.”
"As a pharmaceutical company, Sanqing Group has always had a good reputation. Unfortunately, they chose to use such a method to come to the public. It seems that we must re-examine their past reputation to see if there are other false behaviors to gain reputation."
"To sue such a big-name pharmaceutical company would cost an astronomical amount of money and energy, and whether we can win the case is still unknown. Fortunately, Eagle Country's patent protection is very complete, and we were able to uphold justice and re-maintain order in the scientific community. .”
"However, we are not optimistic about the patent litigation in China. As we all know, China's intellectual property protection is very poor, and all kinds of piracy and copycats are rampant. In this case, we filed the lawsuit just to fight for justice."
"As for you asking me, do you have anything to say to Sanqing?"
"I just want to say that as a large multinational company, Sanqing, please be a human being and stop infringing on other people's patents. In the Eagle Country, using doctrines will not work."
"Your annual income from selling drugs is so high. Even if you invest a little more in research and development, it will be enough to pursue an independent research and development path."
"Finally, I have something to say to Mr. Wei from Sanqing. This is an ancient Chinese saying that suits him very well."
"You are a beautiful lady, why would you want to be a thief?"
Zheng Feng shook his head and sighed, and said this famous sentence in Chinese that is familiar to China.
Then it was translated again in English.
"Wow!" Kelly showed an exaggerated expression and exclaimed: "This sentence is indeed very appropriate. As far as I know, Sanqing's strength in the research and development of new drugs is obvious to all, and it has also developed some genetic drugs, so I am also very curious. , why would they do this?”
"Haha," Zheng Feng said with a look of disdain: "Sanqing is indeed strong in chemical pharmaceuticals, I don't deny this, but in terms of biopharmaceuticals, they have just started, and the genetic drugs they have developed are very superficial and not complicated. In particular, SMA gene drugs are based on drugs from Novartis and can no longer be considered original drugs. However, this kind of borrowing is normal in the industry. They are not as original as our academic community."
"As for why they did this, it's normal, because my CRISPR technology is very strong. It is the most powerful gene editing tool today and the most widely used gene editing technology. No other technology can compare with it. They said they had no choice."
His face was full of pride, and his words and deeds revealed an invincible self-confidence, which was undoubtedly very convincing to others.
If Kelly hadn't also learned about the relevant information and knew the ins and outs of the matter, she would have completely believed him.
She kept a smile on her face and secretly cursed "shameless" in her heart. However, today's interview was originally to pursue Zheng Feng, publicize the matter well, and at the same time build momentum for the launch of Pfizer's new drug.
So she moved to the next topic without leaving a trace: "Wow, no wonder, I finally understand Sanqing's infringement."
"With such advanced technology, it is logical to jointly develop genetic drugs with Pfizer. Can you tell us about this new drug?"
"This is a cross-border cooperation between academia and industry. It can be said to be very successful. This new drug..."
Zheng Feng talked eloquently and hyped up Pfizer's new drug, touting it as a miracle drug that could cure diseases.
Kelly couldn't help it anymore. Her talk show has always been known for her sharp words and aggressiveness.
It can be said that 'If you are not sharp and have a poisonous tongue, you would rather die'.
Although this interview required not to ask any extraordinary questions, she still wanted to follow her nature and struggle again.
"Perhaps I can ask a less pointed and gentle question. Anyway, the interview is almost over, so it doesn't violate the agreement."
Kelly secretly said to herself, there was something instinctive in her heart that was already ready to take action.
So she couldn't help but ask: "It is said that this new drug has many similarities with Sanqing's genetic drug? Did Pfizer have any so-called 'references' during the research and development process? You also said that this kind of behavior is very common in the industry. very common."
Zheng Feng's smile froze and he quickly responded: "Actually, we have been cooperating with Pfizer on thalassemia gene drugs for a long time. Our research and development time was much earlier than that of Sanqing. You know, we all use the same tools. It’s normal to have some similarities, and if we really want to learn from them, it’s them from us.”
Next, Kaili wisely stopped talking and asked questions as agreed in advance, allowing Zheng Feng to express himself freely.
The interview is about to end successfully.
Suddenly, an excited voice sounded in Kelly's headset. It was the director yelling backstage.
"Oh, my God, it's so exciting. Kelly, please don't end the show. We have received an amazing piece of news. We must ask Zheng Feng in person while he is here. This way the show will definitely be a hit."
"I can't believe it. Just now, Sanqing Group announced the launch of a brand-new gene editing tool, and also said that all future thalassemia gene drugs on the market will use new technology. When you ask, I will immediately Bring the news to the screen.”
"Remember, you must carry out a surprise attack. Tell Zheng Feng immediately, and then ask him what he thinks. Haha, when this happens, you can make the promise go to hell. Kelly, go full fire. It's up to you whether you can break the ratings record. .”
Kelly was stunned for a moment, but after all, she was professional and had excellent professional skills, and she almost reacted within a few seconds.
She immediately turned to the camera and announced the news with a shocked look on her face.
"Dr. Zheng Feng, I'm sorry to interrupt right now. We have just received urgent news. Sanqing Group has just announced in a high profile that it has successfully developed a new fourth-generation gene editing technology. It is said that they have used archaea in the Antarctic ice. A powerful gene-editing protease was discovered and improved to achieve such results."
"Next, Sanqing has used this brand-new technology to comprehensively upgrade its gene-poor drugs, and its clinical performance is amazing."
"In this way, they have their own gene editing technology, which will perfectly circumvent the patent restrictions of CRISPR technology."
"Dr. Zheng Feng, what do you think about this?"
Kelly finished speaking in one breath, and then looked at Zheng Feng. At the same time, all the cameras and lights turned to him.
The news about Sanqing just now scrolled on the big screen at the scene.
Zheng Feng was stunned for a moment. He didn't answer at all. Instead, he stared at the news on the big screen with an incredible look on his face, as if he had seen a ghost.
The air in the live broadcast room froze instantly.
Everyone held their breath, as quiet as a chicken.
All eyes and lenses were focused on Zheng Feng, waiting for his reaction.
A minute passed.
Zheng Feng suddenly burst out with an angry exclamation: "This is impossible, absolutely impossible, this must be fake news!"
His face instantly turned pale, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and he became completely lost.
And all of this was faithfully recorded by the camera and disseminated.
Kelly said kindly: "Dr. Zheng Feng, I understand your shock when you saw the news. In fact, when I heard about it, I couldn't believe it, but our Chinese reporters have confirmed it. Authenticity, what do you think about this?”
Zheng Feng's eyes were straightened, and he was no longer as proud and confident as before.
He hesitated for a long time before he finally managed to say: "I need to see more detailed information before I can make a judgment."
Kelly smiled slightly and dropped another piece of news: "By the way, Mr. Wei from Sanqing also had something to say to you at the press conference."
She looked at the picture on the screen and read the pinyin word by word.
"If you want to fight, then fight!"
Then he showed a meaningful smile: "Fortunately, we also have reporters who understand Chinese and translated the meaning of this sentence."
"It is said that this sentence came from Genghis Khan of the Mongolian Empire. He sent an envoy to the Khwarizm Kingdom to discuss a trade agreement. However, the enemy not only refused, but also chopped off the envoy's head and sent it back. He was not angry. A second envoy was sent, but this one was humiliated and sent back."
"So, he finally got angry and wrote a letter of challenge and sent it, the content of which was these six words. A few years later, Genghis Khan destroyed the largest empire in Central Asia."
"Dr. Zheng, it seems that Mr. Wei is really angry this time and has made a challenge to you and the Broad Institute."
"What is your response to this?"
"Do you have any chance of winning in this genetic technology battle?"
"Will this have a serious impact on the launch of Pfizer's new thalassemia drug?"
Kelly's barrage of questions was so fierce that Zheng Feng was instantly dismayed.
Fortunately, he had been in battle for a long time and had rich experience. He quickly reacted and had regained some composure.
His expression was normal, nothing unusual could be seen.
However, the gaffe just now was still faithfully recorded by the camera and spread throughout the world.
Zheng Feng looked at Kelly and knew that she was fanning the flames, so he immediately denied it.
"Now that we are a civilized society, such things as writing of war are out of date. Besides, we have never declared war on the Three Qing Dynasties. How can there be a war? As for the response, we will take appropriate legal measures."
"Pfizer is a pharmaceutical company that is stronger than Sanqing. They also cooperate with Sanqing on anti-cancer drugs, so we actually have no fundamental conflict. It is also a very normal business behavior for both parties to compete for the same drug. .”
Yes, he was scared.
After Sanqing released the fourth generation of gene editing technology, he knew that things were completely out of control and headed in an unforeseen direction.
They can no longer control the patent issue.
In this case, those who can only understand the current affairs are distinguished.
From now on, every sentence must leave room for change, and nothing must be done.
As for the follow-up response, he still had to go to the teacher's office again.
But Kelly seemed not to let him go: "Dr. Zheng, you just sent a message to Mr. Wei. Isn't this a letter of challenge in another sense?"
Zheng Feng stared at her and said slowly: "That was just a friendly joke between Chinese people."
After saying that, he looked at his phone and then said with an apologetic expression: "Sorry, that's it for this interview. I have to go back and deal with an emergency."
****
Hunan Province, Shashi, inside a dilapidated private house.
Li Han was staring blankly at the screen. Dozens of younger brothers around him were also sitting in front of computers, waiting for his boss's order.
Seeing that the boss didn't respond for a long time, the younger brother said curiously: "Boss, brothers are all ready."
"Don't worry, according to the request of the funder, we have already prepared a lot of copywriting, and the trolls are also ready. We will definitely be able to hack the Internet to the point of being unable to recover."
Li Han is the head of the largest troll company in China and the owner of many online marketing accounts.
Last week he received an order from abroad.
The funder made one request, and asked all his trolls and marketing accounts to mobilize to hack Sanqing's patent infringement case online. The hack must be so hacky and thorough that all netizens would be convinced.
Just like online trolls use chrysanthemums to imprison factories, and spray chrysanthemums to fans to serve as the navy, Sanqing’s patent infringement case must be completely nailed to the pillar of shame.
The donor was very wealthy and directly provided five million in funds.
This made him extremely happy. After completing this order, he would have enough food and clothing for at least a year.
He was hesitant at first, and he was not stupid. He knew that the money was more or less hot.
This is not a case of domestic friends investing money to undermine their peers. It can be regarded as a fight among our own people.
He felt a little guilty when a foreign financial backer demanded to blackmail a national enterprise made in China.
However, he has always regarded himself as a reasonable person and feels that his stirring up troubles on the Internet belongs to the freedom of speech.
Moreover, black people have a bottom line. At least he would never do the kind of thing where a poor person's life is caused by Internet violence.
Although Sanqing has a good reputation, objectively speaking, it is indeed patent infringement.
Then if you put some shade on this, it can be considered as telling the truth and it is not a big deal.
He can also, in the name of promoting the protection of China's patent rights, save the country and find another way to eliminate blackmail.
As long as you be careful, be objective, grasp the key points, hit the mark with one blow, and don't accidentally hurt other areas, I'm sorry netizens won't be able to find fault.
Li Han comforted himself like this and carefully formulated the copywriting to smear Sanqing.
But now!
He looked at the new generation of gene editing technology announced by Sanqing on the Internet and was dumbfounded.
"Boss, what time is this? We have to speed up the pace."
The younger brother urged a little anxiously, and then laughed evilly: "I have long been disgusted with these idiot fans, and they are called the escort. Look at how I can spray them to death!"
Snapped!
The next moment, Li Han turned his head, his eyes flashing coldly, and slapped his little brother on the forehead with a loud slap.
"Squirt! I just know how to squirt, squirt on your sister!"
Li Han gritted his teeth, pointed at his younger brother and yelled, "This is the light of the Chinese nation, do you understand?"
"Can you really guarantee that you won't get sick in the future?"
"Ah?" The younger brother was stunned.
Li Han was heartbroken and slapped himself hard: "I am really not a human being. I actually want to attack such a high-tech and conscientious pharmaceutical company. If I really do it, do I still have the face to go home and face my parents?" ?”
"Apart from Sanqing, which company in China can continue to make breakthroughs under comprehensive suppression and slap the Eagle Country in the face?"
"Also, if you look at this challenge, it's very level and domineering. You are worthy of being President Wei."
After saying that, he said coldly: "Return the deposit."
"In addition, we re-wrote the copy to expose this incident and expose the other party's conspiracy. Then we will praise Sanqing's latest technological breakthroughs and give the gongs and drums for the upcoming war between Sanqing."
"Damn, these guys abroad are so disgusting. It's not easy for us to have such a strong domestic technology company, but you want me to hack my own compatriots. I won't do it!"
"Don't say five million, not even 100 million!"
He said word for word: "Chinese people don't cheat Chinese people."
A vicious roar sounded in the room: "Boys, come on, work hard, praise me well, praise hard, and make sure to boast a few hits."
"I am determined to eat this boiling patriotic meal."
