Female Novel
Chapter 4808
Fifteen minutes later, Michaela took the helicopter and landed on the top floor of the Shangri-La Hotel.Charlie took Xion, along with Isaac Cameron and Don Albert, and boarded the helicopter together.
Half an hour later, the helicopter flew over a remote building on the outskirts of New York City.
This is the medical technology center of the Joules family.
This building is the only building within a radius of two kilometers.
It is twenty-five stories high, and the surrounding area is heavily guarded.
After getting off the helicopter, Michaela took the initiative to walk in front, and while leading the way,she said to Charlie, “Mr. Wade, this is a medical technology center funded by my grandfather, mainly todevelop and test some high-end and advanced treatments.
That means and drugs, including the most advanced proton therapy system and cellularimmunotherapy in the field of cancer are all available here, and they are all the best in the world.”
At this time, Michaela thought of something and added, “Oh, yes Mr. Wade, you should have heard ofMayo Clinic, right? It is known as the top cancer hospital in the world.”
“I have heard of it.” Charlie nodded and said, “Mayo has a long-standing reputation in the world, andthere should be very few people who don’t know.”
Michaela smiled slightly and said, “Our cancer team members here have more than 60% overlap withMayo, and their top experts also serve here, even in cutting-edge scientific research.
Mayo also needs to consider profit to stay afloat, but it does not consider profit here.”
After that, she added, “In addition, there is currently the top organ transplant center in the UnitedStates.
The top cancer diagnosis and treatment team, the top cardiovascular and cerebrovascular and anti-aging research team.
Our freezing center, located on the fifth underground floor, is designed to operate for three hundredyears.
Grandpa said before that if he dies, immediately send him here to freeze, to save a ray of life for thefuture, maybe the technology in two or three hundred years will bring him back to life.”
Charlie nodded and sighed, “It seems that maintaining such a medical research institution, the Joulesfamily spends a lot every year.”
Michaela sighed, “Start with at least one billion US dollars a year, and at the peak stage, there weretimes when two or three billion dollars were burned in a year.”
Having said this, she added, “However, although we do not pursue profitability here, it is indeedprofitable, and some effective scientific research results can also be commercialized very well, and cancreate a lot of money.
At present, more than 70% of the cost here can be recovered…”
“This is the case in the medical industry.
Although the investment cost is very high, once a top-level specific drug or a very good new treatmentmethod is developed, it can earn 10 billion or 20 billion US dollars a year.
It’s not difficult, betting on a single product may turn losses into profits.”
Charlie agreed, “In the medical industry, the most fearful thing is not willing to invest in research anddevelopment costs, and some pharmaceutical companies spend several years or even dozens.
It’s hard to make any social contribution with so few drugs in this age, and we still have to invest a lot ofmoney in research and development to benefit society.”
Michaela nodded and said seriously, “Mr. Wade is right, about medical care.
in the industry, research and development is very important.
So after I took over the Joules family, I did not reduce the budget here, but added a flexible budget of30% to 50% on the original basis.”
The two chatted and had reached the top floor Elevator entrance.
At this time, the elevator just came up, and when it opened, three men walked out.
One of the men recognized Charlie at a glance,
And then said to him excitedly, “Mr. Wade! My God! Really! It is you, Mr. Wade!”
Charlie frowned and looked at the man talking in front of him,novelbin
Only to find out that the man in front of him turned out to be the person in charge of the US FDA,James Smith, whom he had been in contact with before!
