Chapter 457 Going to the Moldy Country for a Conference

January 15, 1987, half a month before the Lunar New Year.

Chen Qi took off from Freetown Airport, headed to Frankfurt in Europe, and then transferred to San Francisco, the mold country, to attend the "World Congress of Surgery" held there.

The airfare money was paid by the Japanese Sysmex Genetic Testing Company.

Sitting on the plane, Chen Qi was wearing glasses, and had been flipping through the latest paper "Discovery and Research of Dracunculatus guinea worm" by ChinSerbia Friendship Hospital.

In this paper, doctor Hua Guo conducted a comprehensive screening of the tribe where Nguema is located and several nearby tribes. At the same time, Guinea worm was also found in water sources and local livestock.

Then the entire chain of infection is formed, and the data of the paper is detailed, the investigation is comprehensive, and the research is complete. It is definitely a high-quality paper.

Of course, Chen Qi and his colleagues were not sure whether it was a new species of nematode, so he brought 10 specimens to Mold Country this time, and wanted to ask a professional infectious disease expert to identify it.

If it is confirmed that it is a new species, the paper can be directly submitted to the four major medical journals, and it is not in vain to spend almost half a month of hard investigation and research by the Huaguo Medical Group.

The plane was heading north all the way, and when passing through Frankfurt, the owner of Sysmex Genetic Testing Company, Takada Yuto, was already waiting in advance.

The reason why Yuto Takata was going to take a long detour from Europe to the country was to meet with Chen Qi in advance to discuss some matters.

The paper "Genetic Testing Applied to the Diagnosis of Children's Lung Cancer" jointly published by the two parties had been published in the New England Journal of Medicine, and under the deliberate promotion of Sysmex, it immediately attracted great attention in the surgical field.

Any new technology is a great discovery.

Using genetic testing to trace the source of cancer and clarify the source of malignant tumors, Chen Qi's neonatal lung cancer is definitely the first in the world.

In fact, the reason is very simple. The mainstream recognized by the medical field is malignant tumors, that is, cancer cannot be transmitted.

However, Chen Qi used genetic testing methods to infer the cancer genes in the mother, compared with the cancer genes in the newborn, and concluded that cancer cells can be directly transmitted from mother to child.

Then we can speculate again, besides lung cancer, is there any possibility of "direct infection" in other cancers?

This brand new discovery can be said to have directly overturned the original knowledge in textbooks, making surgeons from all over the world full of interest and curiosity about the unknown.

So the preparatory committee of the "San Francisco World Congress of Surgery" has sent a special invitation letter to Chen Qi, asking Chen Qi to give a keynote speech on this paper and the prospect of future clinical application of genetic testing.

This is a great honor.

You should know that the "World Congress of Surgery" (WCS) is a general organization of all surgical societies. It is held every two years, and nearly 1,000 top surgeons from all over the world will attend the meeting.

Surgeons who speak at each meeting are even rarer. Generally, a second-level society is only allowed to speak for 10 minutes. Unless there are outstanding and innovative technology owners, there is no chance to get on stage.

Chen Qi is no stranger to this "World Congress of Surgery", he participated in this meeting in West Germany a few years ago.

At this conference, Chen Qi gave two speeches on behalf of the ICPF Society and the FSSH Society. He became famous in the first battle and was finally elected as a double director.

Then he earned nearly a million dollars in flying knife fees, which were almost confiscated after returning to China. It was also this oolong incident that prompted Chen Qi to be directly appointed as the president of the Fourth Academy of Yuezhong from the vice president.

That's why it is said, "When misfortune comes, blessings depend on it, and when blessings come, misfortunes lie on it." Crisis and opportunity coexist, and it depends on whether you can grasp it.

Chen Qi pushed the luggage cart, and as soon as he reached the exit, he saw the excited Takada Yuto waving.

"Hi, President Takata, long time no see."

Yuto Takada stepped forward to give Chen Qi a warm hug, which is rare among introverted Japanese.

"Dr. Chen, I'm so glad to see you again. You are an amazing doctor. This time, the promotion of our Sysmex Genetic Testing Company will be entrusted to you."

Yuto Takada never dreamed that his act of casting a wide net and fishing more would actually catch him a big fish.

A "sponsorship" that he was optimistic about, but didn't hold much hope for, went directly to the highest international surgery conference. The 500,000 US dollars was really worth the money.

Even Takata Yoshito is concerned about gains and losses. He used to think that giving the Chinese people 500,000 US dollars was already a huge sum of money, but now it seems that 500,000 US dollars is very unsafe.

Because the cooperation project between Chen Qi and Sysmex Genetic Testing Company is only a topic, the subsequent continued cooperation is only an intention and no formal contract has been signed.

Like the cooperation between Nipro in Japan and Chen Qi, they all directly sign long-term contracts and give a "sponsorship fee" every year. This is a long-term cooperation and an exclusive cooperation.

In case Chen Qi shines at the "World Surgery Congress" this time and is targeted by other genetic testing giants, the little Sysmex may not be able to compete with them.

So Takada Yuto came to Frankfurt this time in person, one is to discuss the speech script with Chen Qi in advance, and strive for as many opportunities as possible for the company to show his face.

More importantly, I want to express to Chen Qi the importance Sysmex Genetic Testing Company attaches to him, as well as Takada Yuto's personal friendship.

Chen Qi also responded enthusiastically, giving him a big hug:

"Mr. Takada's face is full of red. He must have encountered something good recently. I guess, did he meet a beautiful modern girl in Frankfurt?"

"What is a modern girl? Now I only have eyes for you."

"Hey, I don't like men, I prefer Miss Momoe Yamaguchi from your country."

"Hahaha~~~"

Talking about women makes it easier to narrow the distance between men and men. With the support of their assistants, the two walked out of the airport.

Chen Qi and Takada Yuto need to stay in Frankfurt for one day to discuss Chen Qi's speech at the World Congress of Surgery.

Doctors and sponsors often complement each other and achieve each other, but sometimes there are some contradictions.

For example, sponsors always hope that doctors will talk about which medicine or medical device is good, just like live broadcasting, and repeat it, it is best to say it in a hype to strengthen the audience's impression.

But as a doctor with a certain status, I think it's okay for your sponsor to give money, and I can also mention your names in speeches or papers, but it's only for invisible placement of advertisements, and it can't affect the overall feeling of the paper or speech .

For example, a doctor can say, I met such a patient in the clinic, and then which medicines I gave him, the curative effect is certain.

The professional doctors sitting below will naturally understand that you are promoting a certain drug, otherwise you would not specifically name it, everyone knows it well, and the advertisement is completed.

But when you ask a doctor to hold an academic conference or give a speech, say that such and such medicine is really good, and that such and such medicine has special effects on a certain disease, so don't miss it when you pass by.

This is a TV commercial promotion, and it is the favorite program of Shandong Satellite TV.

Such advertisements are very low, and such doctors are also very low, and the impression of such products will only be lower, so ordinary doctors are very disgusted with this kind of publicity.

After all, the mainstream is medicine, not advertising.

It can't be like the later TV stations broadcast "My Fair Princess", where the TV series is broadcast for 5 minutes and the advertisement is placed for 10 minutes. This is putting the cart before the horse. This is clearly interspersed with TV dramas in commercials, not just a few commercials in TV dramas.

In the living room of an airport hotel suite:

Yuto Takada pointed to a place in the manuscript and said:

"Dr. Chen, I suggest that in this place, we can highlight our Sysmex's exclusive advantages in chromosome analysis."

Chen Qi shook his head:

"Sysmex is not the only one that can do chromosome analysis. If I say so bluntly that your company has an exclusive advantage, I am afraid that tomorrow I will be hated by major genetic testing companies."

"Dr. Chen, I think this can be modified. It is better to change the result of Sysmex's preliminary analysis within one week to three days. This will show our efficiency and proficiency in our work."

"No, no, no, actually I'm quite satisfied with your results in a week. Besides, it only takes 3 days. I'm afraid that I will be struck by lightning when I go out."

"Doctor Chen, I think you should focus on this..."

The two sides exchanged words and guns for a long time, but no one convinced the other.

Except for a small part of Chen Qi's revision, the whole speech is almost the same as the original manuscript. Dean Chen still has the bottom line that should be there.

But after the two parties had dinner, when Takata Yuto put a check for 200,000 US dollars in front of Chen Qi, Chen Qi coughed a few times:

"This, this, I am not because of money, mainly because I think Sysmex has more experience in genetic testing, and we are very good partners..."

Yuto Takada was born as a capitalist, and he understands the role of "money ability" very well, so he didn't play tricks when he came up.

"Dr. Chen, this check is only your service fee at the World Congress of Surgery. In addition, we can continue to cooperate. Sysmex will definitely give the greatest sponsorship to ensure that you and your research team satisfy!"

"Okay, then we have a happy cooperation."

The two shook hands, and everything was spoken.

In this way, Chen Qi finally adopted half of Takata Yuto's opinion and revised the speech, adding a few more words "Sysmex Corporation".

After accomplishing this, Takada Yuto is already very satisfied. After all, he is the first person who dares to eat crabs. Without this long-term vision, he would not have started this genetic testing company.

The next day, Chen Qi took another flight to San Francisco.

Chen Qi had never been to the country in his previous life, but for the first time in his two lives, he came to this country where shooting every day, oh no, it is a country where every day is free. He is still very curious.

When passing through the customs, when Chen Qi took out his Huaguo passport, it was obvious that the border inspectors were frowning.

"Sir, may I ask the purpose of your visit to the United States, you got a business visa, do you have an invitation letter?"

There are a lot of questions when you come up. If Chen Qi has not passed the test in English, or hesitates for a while, it may be the rhythm of shutting down the small black room?

Chen Qi smiled, there is no need to be angry at such a time, hurt your self-esteem or something, when your country becomes stronger, the citizens will naturally be treated fairly.

Only the weak will slap their mouths. Do you really think that the US customs officers are doctors, and you can beat and scold you? The patrolling police officer next to the house really knows how to draw a gun, and he will never be polite.

Chen Qi took out the invitation letter of the World Congress of Surgery from his bag:

"Hello, I am a doctor from Huaguo, this time I am coming to San Francisco to attend the World Congress of Surgery."

"Are you a doctor? A surgeon?"

Another customs officer next to him said in surprise:

"A lot of experts from various countries have come to participate in the surgical conference these days, but I have never seen a surgeon as young as you. My God, is your age and appearance of the yellow race inconsistent?"

Chen Qi shrugged: "Perhaps there really are geniuses in this world, such as me."

hahaha~~~~

The two staff immediately burst out laughing, obviously playing with humor properly can ease the tense atmosphere just now.

The staff quickly tapped the stamp to indicate approval, and when handing back the passport, they did not forget to say: "Welcome to San Francisco".

It seems that doctors are more respected in European and American countries. Chen Qi also nodded with a smile to express his gratitude, and then quickly passed through the customs security check.

Nonsense, the Americans are still in the quagmire of capitalism, and Chen Qicai has no time to save them, let them live or die, hum!

After coming out of the customs, Chen Qi took a taxi by himself to the Huaguo delegation's residence.

The delegation from Huaguo this time is still not very large, only 10 surgeons came out.

For example, Professor Wu Mengchao, who Chen Qi wanted to learn most, Professor Ning Mengzhu from Neurosurgery, Professor Zeng Xuexun from Thoracic Surgery, and Professor Lu Hezai from Urology, were all here, and they were also old friends of Chen Qi.

However, these 10 surgeons are also slightly different. Both Chen Qi and Professor Wu Mengchao are full members of the International Association of Related Medicine, and they automatically received the invitation letter, which is equivalent to "half masters".

Professor Ning and the remaining 8 people received special invitation letters from the organizing committee of the conference, which is equivalent to just "guests".

Compared to the deserted side of Huaguo, more than 200 surgeons participated in the meeting in Moldo, accounting for more than one-fifth. The gap between the Chinese and American people is clear at a glance.

These Chen Qis are all in the eyes. It is normal to have gaps. If you admit your shortcomings, just roll up your sleeves and work hard.

The hotel where the Hua Guo delegation stayed was a small hotel in a remote area of San Francisco. As soon as Chen Qi got out of the car, he saw many black people wandering around.

When I saw African blacks in China, I felt that they were all Yaxi fellows, warm and kind, and they were good friends of the Chinese people.

But if you see mostly black people around you in Mold Country, and they are idle black people, then be careful, the law and order here must not be much better.

Chen Qi didn't care either. If there was an emergency, there were a lot of guns donated by Adem in his space, so no one should be afraid of anyone.

It was the first time in a few months that I could see my fellow villagers again, and Chen Qi was very excited to see Professor Wu. He hurried into the floor where the Huaguo Medical Delegation was located.

Before entering the door, I heard Professor Wu yelling and cursing!
