A month later, Wei Kang received a call from Wang Guiqing.
On the phone, Lao Wang's voice was very excited: "Mr. Wei, we succeeded."
"The negotiations with various countries are over. They have shown great sincerity and made many concessions. We have gained a lot."
Wei Kang smiled lightly: "That's good."
"Do I need to tell you more about it?"
"No, this is just the beginning."
Wang Guiqing burst out laughing: "Mr. Wei is so courageous. Yes, the impact of this incident will become greater and greater in the future."
"You sacrificed a lot this time, and we will remember your contribution."
He suddenly said solemnly: "Thank you!"
"You're welcome."
After hanging up the phone, Wei Kang looked into the distance.
I just feel refreshed and have a sense of participation in the historical process.
Wang Guiqing thanked him and told him good news.
That is, the cranial nerve regeneration factor has been approved and can be officially launched on the market.
Wei Kang set a price similar to that of anti-cancer drugs and began selling it domestically.
Similarly, I quickly entered the medical insurance, which can reimburse most of the cost. This way, the burden on the patient is much lighter.
After all, for a life-saving drug and a first-of-its-kind original drug, there is no way to sell it too cheaply.
A three-month course of treatment costs RMB 100,000, which is worth it in exchange for the health of your family.
Of course, for poor families, Sanqing’s charitable foundation also has sufficient donations from wealthy people to provide free medicine.
There are only about 500,000 vegetative patients in the country, which is not too many. But when you add in other brain-injured patients, the number is much larger, and there are millions of people.
Among them is Parkinson's disease, which is known as the third leading killer of middle-aged and elderly people.
Parkinson's disease is also a chronic central neurodegenerative disease. Its main pathological change is the degeneration and death of midbrain nerve cells. It usually develops after the age of 50, and the incidence rate in men is slightly higher than in women.
This disease is often confused with Alzheimer's disease. In fact, the two are different. Alzheimer's disease is mainly characterized by memory impairment and other cognitive or behavioral dysfunction. It is a fatal disease.
The main symptoms of Parkinson's disease are movement disorders, slow movement, and uncontrollable trembling of the hands and feet, accompanied by varying degrees of cognitive impairment. It is a non-fatal disease, and generally speaking, it is much milder than Alzheimer's disease.
Although there have been no clinical trials of cranial nerve regeneration factors for Parkinson's disease, many doctors are very interested in this treatment. As soon as new drugs are launched, they prescribe small doses of drugs to patients and observe them while treating.
Brain diseases such as Parkinson's disease, severe Alzheimer's disease, vegetative disease, and cerebral atrophy are all considered the main treatment directions of new drugs.
After it is launched on the market, it will continue to carry out phase four clinical trials, follow up observations, and gradually improve the treatment principles and processes.

at the same time.
Ruidian, Royal Carolinian Institute of Medicine, Nobel Committee.
A group of experts and scholars are discussing something.
"Wei Kang and Chen Yiqing, who came from the East, together conquered Alzheimer's disease, a terminal disease in humans, and discovered the principle of brain stem cell regeneration. According to the conclusions of our laboratory and major medical institutions around the world, the facts are conclusive."
"In the next few decades, the global aging society is coming, and the number of Alzheimer's patients will increase to tens or even hundreds of millions. But these two scientists have conquered this terminal disease, which is equivalent to saving all mankind."
"Both of them have made unparalleled contributions to the global medical community and biology."
"I suggest that this year's Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology be awarded to these two people. Only they deserve this honor this year."
An expert said solemnly with a serious face.
But soon, this proposal was rejected by other experts.
"No, people from Sanqing are not worthy of becoming Nobel Prize winners at all. They are not even worthy of being nominated."
"I now deeply regret awarding the Nobel Prize in Medicine to Wei Kang three years ago. He is a disgrace to scientists and an unqualified businessman. He is simply useless."
Another expert with gray hair said angrily.
"Wei Kang is planning a conspiracy against all mankind, which can be seen from this refusal to sell overseas. He is a complete racist. If such a person wins the award again, it will be a disaster for all mankind. It’s a disaster.”
Someone said coldly: "His indifference has allowed millions of brain-injured patients around the world to continue to suffer from their illnesses. He clearly has medicine but refuses to sell it to these patients. From this perspective, he is a devil." "
"Yes, we refuse to nominate such a racist bogeyman."
"After all, we do scientific research for all mankind, not just for ourselves. Without a broad mind, we are not worthy of the honor of the Nobel Prize."
"If possible, I would also like to get back the Nobel Prize I gave him three years ago."
All the experts present nodded in agreement.
"It is a pity that such a great figure who leads the times is the enemy of the whole world and cannot be recognized by the academic community."
Some people were filled with emotion and felt sorry for what happened to Wei Kang and Chen Yiqing.
Finally, after three hours of discussion.
Wei Kang and Chen Yiqing were completely removed from the list of candidates by the Nobel committee.
The reason is that Weicome committed a major crime against humanity by refusing to sell brain nerve regeneration factors globally.
Unless Weicome agrees to sell the drug overseas, it will be added to the candidate list again.
Otherwise, all researchers of Sanqing Group will be permanently removed from the Nobel Committee.
The news of being expelled from the Nobel Committee was quickly spread through the grapevine and quickly spread back to China.
Wei Kang learned about this because Academician Qi made a special phone call to express condolences.
However, he reacted calmly.
"Xiao Wei, you have been wronged." Academician Qi consoled him: "If you win another prize this year, you will be a second-time winner of the Nobel Prize. This is an incredible honor. Since the Nobel Prize was founded, it has only Four people have won this honor, and you will be the fifth.”
He sighed a little: "In today's world, this honor can only be matched by you. Removing you will be their loss."
Wei Kang chuckled, not caring, and said: "You just said, this is the second time to win the Nobel Prize. I have already won the Nobel Prize once, so it feels like that, nothing surprising."
"Even if that is the highest honor that all scientific researchers in the world aspire to, so what?"
"Is their current behavior still objective? Is it still scientific?"
"Germany is not worthy of me, and it is even less worthy of my achievements."
“It’s okay to not win this Nobel Prize.”
"Hey!" Academician Qi has known him for more than three years and knows his character. He sighed and said nothing more.
After hanging up the phone, Wei Kang fell into silence.
Indeed, as he said just now, he is not very interested in winning a second prize or anything like that.
Anyway, he has won it once, and the Nobel Prize Committee cannot be so shameless as to withdraw the award that has been awarded. It doesn't mean much to him if he doesn't win it twice.
This thing is just like a vaccine, you are almost immune once you take it.
The second time is just the icing on the cake, and the improvement in reputation and influence is limited.
Academician Qi and the others are scientific researchers and attach great importance to winning awards, which Wei Kang can understand.
But I am not. Being able to develop drugs that can cure diseases and save lives is the most important thing to me.
It's great to win an award, but it won't change the facts if you don't win it.
However, he thought of Chen Yiqing and couldn't help but frown.
Lao Chen is not an entrepreneur, but a scientist. If he knew that he would be permanently removed from the Nobel Prize Committee, I am afraid he would feel very uncomfortable.
But this matter cannot be hidden from him and must be told truthfully.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.
Soon, Chen Yiqing was called to Wei Kang's office by a phone call and learned of the matter.
He was completely stunned, stunned on the spot, and it took him a long time to react.
"They, how dare they do this? This is a blasphemy to science! An insult to the truth!"
Chen Yiqing's face turned red, and he said with excitement: "For selfish reasons, disregarding the facts, and using their power to attack the other side's camp, they are simply a group of scum in the academic world. I am ashamed to be associated with them. It is a big deal to block me. Good thing."
This reaction was not right. Wei Kang's eyes flashed and he stared straight at Chen Yiqing.
"Dr. Chen, that's the Nobel Prize in Medicine!"
Chen Yiqing had not yet come out of his emotions and said angrily.
"I know, so what? The Nobel Prize has now been reduced to a tool to attack dissidents. It is a complete mess."
"Although science has no national boundaries, isn't it normal and reasonable for scientists to have their own country and obey national interests?"
"They actually used this as an excuse to deprive us of our qualifications, which shows that they don't have science in their hearts."
"If the Nobel Society doesn't like this and wants to cancel my nomination, then just cancel it. I don't care at all."
“It’s okay not to want such a Nobel Prize!”
Two people with different personalities both said the same thing.
Wei Kang suddenly felt a sense of sympathy in his heart.
He looked at Chen Yiqing and said in silence for a while: "Is it worth it?"
"Actually, as long as you leave Sanqing, you can still win awards."
Chen Yiqing regained his composure at this moment, smiled slightly and said: "Of course it's worth it. I know myself. If I hadn't been in Sanqing, how could I have achieved such an achievement?"
He suddenly stared at Wei Kang with some vigilance and said: "Boss, you can't sell medicine overseas and your income has dropped sharply, so you just want to drive me away and save the bonus."
Wei Kang couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Am I that kind of person? You are an honest person, how could you be infected by Wen Renlong? What kind of idea are you thinking? It's too outrageous."
He patted Chen Yiqing on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Old Chen, don't worry, the company has nothing but money, and your bonus will definitely be yours."
After a pause, he continued: "As for reputation, there will be one. I will fight for it for you, and I will never let honest people suffer by following me."
"Yeah," Chen Yiqing responded absently, his thoughts seeming to be elsewhere.
"Boss, if it's okay, I'll leave first. When you called me, I was doing experiments in the laboratory. I guess the results have been obtained by now, so I have to rush back and take a look."
Wei Kang shook his head, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you can go back and do your experiments."
To be honest, he really admired Lao Chen. At this time, he was still thinking about his experiment.
I just heard the news that the Nobel Prize was gone. I was only angry, but not sad. It’s really rare.
He thought he needed to comfort his capable subordinate.
Unexpectedly, I prepared a lot of comforting words, but none of them came in use.
It could be seen that the other party really didn't care and even made a joke with himself.
This is a pure scientist who is devoted to scientific research and only has experiments in mind.
Although Chen Yiqing himself doesn't care, as a boss, he cannot care less and must fight for the honor and money that his subordinates deserve.
At least it has to be equivalent to the Nobel Prize that was lost.
Money is easy to handle. The prize money given by the Nobel Prize is actually not much, just a few million. He can afford it ten times more.
As for reputation, he will give Chen Yiqing all the credit for the two drugs, ad specific medicine and cranial nerve regeneration factor, to make up for the other party's losses in the academic world.
With such achievements, it should be a piece of cake to win a National Natural Science Award.
Anyway, Lao Chen will continue to stay in Sanqing and serve the country. His reputation abroad is actually of little use to him.
Judging from the behavior of the Nobel Committee this time, it has made a very bad start and has greatly damaged the reputation. In the long run, the negative impact will slowly ferment.
When science's highest prizes are no longer fair, their status in people's minds will plummet.
When the most advanced theories and technologies are not recognized by the Nobel Prize.
People would think that the Nobel Prize is nothing more than that.
At this time, it is easy for other awards to quickly rise and take their place.
He had previously had the idea to establish China's own Nobel Prize and was gradually implementing it.
It's just that progress has been slow, and the response from academic leaders has not been very positive.
What happened this time may not be a bad thing.
Domestic academic circles can see the essence of Western academic circles, see through their true colors, completely get rid of past illusions, and face the reality of fierce competition.
Perhaps, in the near future, Chinese academic circles will form their own circle.
Under such circumstances, the establishment of the Wei Science Prize ushered in the best opportunity.
Wei Kang kept thinking, and ideas emerged in his mind, slowly taking shape.
Soon, the news of the two losing the Nobel Prize spread throughout the domestic academic circle.
As he expected, the academic circle reacted greatly.
Everyone was aggrieved by them and felt that it was unfair for the Nobel Prize Committee to use public funds for private use.
The Nobel Prize has always been a symbol of fairness and truth. Now, it is losing its superficial glitz and revealing the naked truth underneath.
The truth is that there are hidden rules for winning a Nobel Prize.
For example, there have been rumors that the Nobel Prize discriminates against women, and there are countless examples.
Many great female scientists have made outstanding contributions like the male scientists who won the award in the same period, but they have been excluded for various seemingly fair reasons.
In 1962, Watson, Crick and Morris won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery of the double helix structure of DNA. However, Morris' colleague Franklin, a female scientist who also participated in the discovery of DNA, was excluded. , wasn’t even nominated.
Similar rumors continue to emerge, making the 120-year history of the Nobel Prize full of controversy.
Everyone can't help but think that if they can't win awards for such outstanding and great achievements, what about themselves?
What does this award mean, at least to the medical community?
Perhaps, people have overestimated the honor represented by this award.
