Chapter 283 Resources
"President, Dr. Sun Lien just called." Kobayashi Tung received such news at the global headquarters of Takeda Pharmaceuticals in Tokyo. "He said they may have discovered a brand new genetic disease."
"Just record it and then keep the information to the R&D department's people." Kobayashi waved his hand indifferently, "The FDA's hearing has not been held yet?"
"The hearing is scheduled to start in forty minutes." Kobayashi's secretary whispered, "I suggest you pay more attention to the cases provided by Dr. Sun. Because the investment in Zhou Xiufang's Comprehensive Diagnosis Center has not been achieved, there are already some dissatisfaction within the board of directors."
"The people from Yoshida's faction have focused on such small moves." Kobayashi Toyoshi shook his head disapprovingly, "They are just trying to overturn me from the position of president. Unfortunately... Our Kobayashi family owns 51% of Takeda's equity. No matter how hard they try, it will be in vain."
"In order to facilitate the acquisition, you mortgaged the Chinese banking syndicate with your personal holdings." The secretary raised his eyebrows, "If there is a problem with this mortgage, in theory, you can only have 30% of the equity left. Director Yoshida may join forces with other chaebols to complete the control of the company's equity."
"China's syndicates are just making ordinary mortgages. They cannot be told by Yoshida to withdraw loans in advance..." Kobayashi's confidence gradually melted as he talked to himself. He seemed to suddenly think of a possibility.
"If the investment in Zhou Xiufang Comprehensive Diagnostic Center does not receive a good enough effect, they may make a big fuss - for example, the company's development results in the Chinese market are far less than expected. If Yoshida Ichita collectively announces a reduction in holdings, it may seriously hit the stock price. In this case, a relatively conservative Chinese syndicate may withdraw loans." The secretary said seriously, "Chairman, paying attention to Dr. Sun's proposal can directly block the possible tricks of Yoshida Director Ichita. This is a very cost-effective transaction."
Kobayashi Tung was silent for a while, then turned to look at his secretary, "You rarely make suggestions to me directly on the company's business."
"Because there is no place for me to interfere in the decisions of the president in the past." The secretary bent down again, "My responsibility is to check for the president's omissions, rather than to show my shallow knowledge in front of you."
"Then do what you said." Kobayashi nodded, "Tell Dr. Sun that his discovery is very important, please submit the corresponding information to the company as soon as possible..." Kobayashi paused, and then asked, "Is there a plan for the corresponding subsidy given to the patient's family?"
"There are both life support and treatment support." The secretary nodded, "However, the patient is young and does not meet the regulations. She cannot participate in our experimental drug trials..."
"It's okay." Kobayashi Toyoshi shook his head, "Since you want to seal someone's mouth, you have to do a full set of tricks. Pay the support fee according to the standards, and there is no need to leak flaws for such a small amount of money."
"You mean..." the secretary raised his head in confusion, "Only give money, but no additional research?"
"How many genetic diseases can be found now? Five people? Ten people?" Kobayashi Teng shook his head and said coldly, "I invest billions of dollars in research and development of drugs for such a small audience... If I really do this, I'm afraid that if Yoshida and the others will not need to do it, all shareholders will unite to oppose me continuing to sit in this position."
"We are drug businessmen, not philanthropists, nor are we saints." Kobayashi Teng turned around and looked at the sky with a sarcastic smile outside the huge floor-to-ceiling window behind him. He had a sarcastic smile on his face, "It's just a scale of less than 10,000 people, why should we care about their lives or death?"

Takeda Pharmaceutical's reply will take about two days to return to Sun Lien. However, after that period of time, it will definitely not take a rush to start the subsequent process. Sun Lien decided to do things ahead - in this way, he can save some time as much as possible.
He still remembered Liu Tangchun's advice to him at that time - he could not hand over everything to Takeda without reservation. At least some information could not be given.
Although Tang Min's case is currently unsure of the situation that it can involve more than three generations, or that five people have developed the disease at the same time, this does not mean that the genetic data of Tang Min's family do not fall within the scope of "important genetic family" stipulated by law. It is not currently an important genetic family, but may be because this disease has just been discovered less than two weeks ago.
According to relevant laws and regulations, if such samples or genetic maps need to be sent abroad, they must be reviewed and approved by the relevant departments.
Sun Lien scratched his head and decided to hand over this trouble to Lao Liu for a headache. With a very relaxed and happy mood, he typed a 1,500-word report on the computer, then clicked the send button and threw the report into Lao Liu's email.
Next, we have to consider the issue of inherited family line.
Uncle Tang Min's sample has been analyzed, and he also mutated in the 18q11.2 area of the usual genetic body. However, the range of mutation is 80% less than that of Tang Min. This may be a major reason why his symptoms can recover themselves - his AQP4 protein is less than that of ordinary people, but more than Tang Min. Therefore, he has the opportunity to recover.
After getting this result, Li Lishan couldn't stay in Ningyuan anymore. He flew back to his hometown as fast as possible, and then brought a boy in the sixth grade of elementary school - this is his son, Tang Min's cousin Li Pinliang.
Li Pinliang himself did not show any symptoms—either the imaging examination or the status bar, he did not mention anything worth noting about. But Sun Lien still asked the nurse to take a blood sample for him and sent it to the gene company he had worked with before to start testing.
Anyway, it was also spent on Takeda Pharmaceutical's money - it wasn't his own money, so Sun Lien would certainly not feel sorry for him.
"Tang Min wakes up." Just as Sun Lien was typing on the computer, nurse Xiao Guo ran into the office excitedly, and then reported good news to the three doctors present, "She seems to be able to see something!"
"Let's go and have a look." Before Sun Lien could react from the paperwork, Professor Zhang Zhifu suddenly stood up. Then he straddled his legs and walked out quickly. Zhou Ce followed closely behind him and waved to Sun Lien, "Let's go and have a look!"
