Doctor: I Can Synthesize Infinite Entries

Chapter 262: Chapter 204: The Lecture Begins, Identity Revealed: Wu Ting, Wu Ting

Huo Yun and Qin Donglai were in their respective offices, organizing documents while watching the livestream. When they saw Jin Yihong extend such an invitation to Wu Ting, followed by a close-up of him negotiating with confidence and flair, they were both stunned.

”Holy crap, Wu Ting has actually reached this level?”

”That’s five million!”

Although the two senior physicians were quite well-off, a five-million-a-year consulting fee was still enough to tempt even them.

This was especially true for Qin Donglai. All his years of diligently performing freelance surgeries couldn’t even match the salary Wu Ting was getting for a simple consulting gig.

However, it didn’t take long for the doctors at the research center who knew Wu Ting to piece things together. It had to be related to the patents from the surgical techniques he had been improving.

For example, the Wu’s Umbilical Knife.

And the core code for the auxiliary technology of the Perfect Triple Method...

’But surely that alone can’t be such a huge draw, right? Could they just be betting on his potential and future talent in research?’

「Xiao City People’s Hospital, Department of Oncological Surgery.」

Director You Wei was watching the livestream alone in his office.

After seeing the conversation between Wu Ting and Jin Yihong, You Wei was completely dumbfounded.

Previously on that news app, he had harshly criticized Wu Ting and his one-yuan research project.

You Wei considered himself to have a profound understanding of medicine, especially oncology and immunology. Even now, he saw nothing wrong with his comments.

’That project of Wu Ting’s, ”Systemic Curative Therapy for HBV-Related Primary Carcinoma: A Study of Stages One, Two, Three, and Four,” is a complete fantasy. How could a graduate student possibly handle such a massive project?’

You Wei had always considered himself a sharp and insightful analyst.

’A thought occurred to him. Jin Pharmaceutical Group must have been funding Wu Ting’s project from the very beginning. Now, at such an important lecture, they were hyping him up like this to publicly endorse and build momentum for that impossible research project of his.’

’Could it be that Jin Pharmaceutical Group was just trying to pull a fast one? Package a ”star project” to deceive the ignorant public, make it look like they were engaged in high-end research, and show investors the company’s potential and R&D prowess—all to pump up their stock price.’

’After all, Wu Ting and Shen Siyuan were a research team from Jinggang University Medical College, and this was a project on Jinggang University’s platform.’

’Plenty of uninformed people would get swept up in the hype. In this day and age, the companies that really know how to market themselves are the ones that come out on top.’

’It’s like that tech mogul who hypes up a standard paint job that every car manufacturer uses, packaging it as ”100% electrophoretic paint film coverage, guaranteeing over twelve years of anti-corrosion protection.” The average person hears that high-tech jargon and is completely blown away, aren’t they?’

’Isn’t that exactly the effect Jin Pharmaceutical Group is going for here? They’re even name-dropping Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, and GSK to get a boost. That makes it seem even more like this project is something the top pharma companies are fighting over.’

You Wei suddenly felt a sliver of admiration for the entrepreneur, Jin Yihong, and for Dean Song. They were truly cunning. ’Trying to use a project riddled with holes—at least to a professional’s eye—to rake in both fame and fortune?’

If time permitted, You Wei really wanted to record a debunking video right then and there.

No. The more You Wei thought about it, the angrier he got. He decided to thoroughly expose this sham after the lecture ended!

’If you’ve got the guts, get Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, and GSK to collaborate on your project too.’

Just as You Wei was grumbling to himself, the second pharmaceutical company’s representative took the stage. It was the general manager of the Jin Country District for the world-class GSK Group, and he began his speech.

Evidently, when the general manager of GSK Group’s Jin Country District took the stage, the applause and cheers from the faculty and students below were far louder than what Jin Pharmaceutical Group had received.

Indeed, the two companies were simply not in the same league.

The general manager began his speech:

”GSK, or GlaxoSmithKline, is a global pharmaceutical company founded in 2000 through the merger of Glaxo Wellcome and SmithKline Beecham. Our headquarters is located in Lun City, Yun Country. The group focuses on the research and development of new drugs and vaccines. Last fiscal year, our global revenue reached 30.05 billion pounds, with our products available in markets worldwide...”

Listening to the general manager’s powerful and confident presentation, the faculty and students in the audience let out gasps of admiration.

An annual revenue of over 30 billion pounds—that was nearly 260 billion in international currency! A single year’s revenue surpassed the entire market capitalization of Jin Pharmaceutical Group!

All the students were filled with anticipation at the thought of the high-paying jobs at such a top-tier pharmaceutical company.

”Heeding the call of the Jin Country Government’s policies, our company has been actively investing in Jin Country, bringing the most advanced pharmaceutical technology, the highest quality products, the newest business models, the most modern management philosophies, and cutting-edge marketing techniques into the country...”

As he spoke, the general manager glanced toward Wu Ting, intentionally yet nonchalantly, flaunting his company’s top-tier strength, which utterly dwarfed that of a small local firm like Jin Pharmaceutical Group.

”In recent years, our group has primarily focused on developing prevention and treatment series for several major diseases: HIV/AIDS, diabetes... and most recently, a series for hepatitis...”

”We have traveled all this way to Jinggang University Medical College for this lecture today, also with the goal of establishing a deep, collaborative partnership between our company and the college...”

”Our group places immense importance on the top-tier paper published by your college’s Dr. Wu Ting and his team in the journal *Cell*. The paper, ’The Immunonegative Regulatory Mechanism of SIGIRR in Curative Therapy for Chronic HBV-Associated Primary Liver Cancer,’ and the mechanism it describes have the potential to revolutionize the entire diagnostic and treatment system for this disease...”

”Therefore, in addition to offering your esteemed university thirty targeted positions with a starting salary of 120,000 pounds, we have also prepared a contract for Dr. Wu Ting, with a starting salary of two million pounds per year. We would also like to extend a warm welcome to Dr. Wu Ting to join us for a friendly discussion after the lecture.”

”Our group has prepared a top-tier collaborative framework for you and your team, one that we are certain you will find more than satisfactory!”

The general manager made a confident and gentlemanly gesture.

”Dr. Wu, I look forward to our discussion!”
