Addison Blythe and Qin Wei chatted and laughed all the way to the school parking lot. From a distance, they saw a girl dressed in a pink princess dress, sweetly dressed, standing next to a BMW car and waving at them. Next to the girl, there was a young man in a white shirt.
Qin Wei introduced that the girl was her roommate Zhou Emma, and the young man was Zhou Emma's boyfriend White, a rich second generation.
"Weiwei." Zhou Emma took Qin Wei's hand, looked at Addison Bryce with interest, and said with a smile: "Addison, I finally saw you in person, you are more handsome than in the photo, no wonder our beautiful Qin is also moved by you."
At this time, White, who was standing aside, saw his girlfriend talking to Addison Bryce with a smile, and couldn't help feeling a little jealous. He took the initiative to walk up to Addison Bryce and greeted: "Hello, I am Emma's boyfriend White."
While speaking, he looked at Addison Bryce inconspicuously and saw that the other party looked like a student. The total price of the clothes on his body was estimated to be no more than one thousand yuan. He suddenly felt a sense of superiority in his heart: no matter how talented you are, you can only be a professor or researcher at most. The money you earn in a year may not be as much as my pocket money. You are not a person of the same level as me.
Of course, he only thought about these thoughts in his heart and would not show them. On the surface, he was still very enthusiastic. After all, there are many people in the world who are enthusiastic in front of others but look down on others in their hearts.
At this moment, a red Ferrari supercar came from a distance and stopped steadily beside Addison Bryce.
After the engine was turned off, the beauty in the driver's seat opened the door and walked down. Her legs were long and slender, and the tight clothes on her body set off her graceful figure to the fullest, and the faint smell of perfume also drifted away.
The beauty took off her silver-white goggles, walked to Addison Bryce, and said softly: "Mr. Lu, let me introduce myself. My name is Sophia, and I am the vice president of Xia Pharmaceutical. I was planning to go to the library of Tsinghua University to find you, but I didn't expect to meet you here. I wonder if you are interested in having a meal together?"
As she spoke, she gently lifted her hair, and the faint smell of perfume became more and more intense, which was particularly tempting.
To be honest, Addison Bryce was indeed attracted for a moment. As a man, even if he has a girlfriend, it is inevitable that he will be moved when he sees a beautiful girl. However, he was only slightly moved, and he was not the kind of person who couldn't move his feet when he saw a beautiful woman. What's more, Senior Qin Wei is right beside him.
Addison Bryce shook his head slightly and said, "No need to eat, just tell me if you have something to say."
Sophia's eyes flashed with surprise. She knew her charm very well, especially for a young boy like Addison Bryce who was about 17 or 18 years old, she had an almost irresistible attraction. In the past, many boys would agree to her various requests after being slightly teased by her. But Addison Bryce in front of him was almost unaffected by her. It seems that he can't be treated as an ordinary boy.
Sophia opened her flaming red lips lightly: "Then I'll tell you straight, our company wants to buy the patent of the single-base gene editing technology in your hands, and the price is 100 million yuan."
One hundred million! Hearing this number, White, who was full of superiority to Addison Bryce just now, his eyes widened instantly!
This is a full 100 million! It's almost catching up with his family's assets!
Zhou Emma also looked at Addison Blythe with shining eyes. Just one patent can be sold at such a high price, and he is so handsome. He is simply the model of an ideal boyfriend. If she hadn't been so close to Qin Wei, she would have wanted to steal his love.
Qin Wei was also a little stunned. On the one hand, she was happy for Addison Blythe, and on the other hand, she felt a little pressure: my junior is growing too fast. Can I keep up with him?
Addison Blythe just smiled faintly: "Sorry, I don't plan to sell the patent. If your company wants to obtain a patent license, we can still talk about it."
Single-base gene editing technology is very important to him. He wants to conquer terminal diseases such as AIDS and cancer, and he can't do without this technology. How can he sell the patent easily? What's more, the actual value of this technology patent is far more than 100 million yuan, at least dozens of times more. Of course, this refers to the patent fee that can be obtained during the validity period of the patent, not the amount that can be obtained at one time.
Sophia was silent for a moment. She could see that Addison Bryce was a very opinionated person, and it would be difficult for her to change his mind.
"It seems that I can't achieve my goal this time." Sophia sighed in her heart, but she still kept a smile on her face and said softly: "That's a pity. Regarding the patent authorization, we will talk about it later. Next, I want to talk to you about another thing. On behalf of the Drug Research Center under Xia Pharmaceuticals, I sincerely invite Mr. Lu to serve as the chief scientist. As long as you agree, you can get 1% of Xia Pharmaceuticals' shares. If the performance is outstanding, there will be more stock rewards."
Hearing Sophia's words, White and others were shocked again. Xia Pharmaceuticals is not a small company, but a large group with a market value of tens of billions. It actually took the initiative to invite Addison Bryce, who is only 18 years old, to serve as the chief scientist, and as long as he agrees, he can get 1% of the shares, which is worth hundreds of millions!
Is Addison Bryce really worth such a huge price for Xia Pharmaceuticals? If they ask Sophia, Sophia will answer without hesitation: worth it.
Because Sophia has done a detailed investigation on Addison Bryce and determined that he is a rare genius in the world. After the college entrance examination, Addison Bryce really began to study biology systematically. The biological knowledge learned in junior high school and high school was just some basic content, which can be almost ignored. It took Addison Bryce only two weeks from the beginning of learning biology to the research of single-base gene editing technology that shocked the academic world.
In addition, Addison Bryce's mentor, Johnson, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has praised him many times and mentioned that Addison Bryce's achievements in the field of biology are not inferior to his own. This shows how amazing Addison Bryce's talent is!
The most important thing is that there are many problems in the current medical field, such as cancer and AIDS, which are almost impossible to cure with traditional medicine. The only hope lies in gene therapy. Addison Bryce was able to research single-base gene technology, which was enough to prove that his attainments in gene technology were at the world's top level. Coupled with his extraordinary talent, Sophia firmly believed that if anyone could use gene technology to overcome difficult diseases such as cancer and AIDS, that person would be Addison Bryce.
Therefore, if Addison Bryce could join Xia Pharmaceuticals, Xia Pharmaceuticals might be able to take off and become a global pharmaceutical giant. Therefore, she was willing to take out 1% of Xia Pharmaceuticals' shares to recruit Addison Bryce. If Addison Bryce could achieve scientific research results, she would be willing to give him even 10% or even 20% of the shares.
However, facing the "sky-high" conditions offered by Sophia, Addison Bryce refused without thinking: "Sorry, I don't have this idea. Thank you for your company's kindness."
He didn't want to be recruited by any company, no matter how generous the other party offered.
Sophia was not too surprised by this. After the request to acquire the patent was rejected, she had a vague feeling that Addison Bryce would also refuse the position of chief scientist.
"That's a pity." Sophia still smiled, "I won't bother you today, I wish you a good time."
After that, she looked at Addison Bryce meaningfully, then quietly returned to the car, started the engine, and left in style.
Until the car disappeared from Addison Bryce's sight, Sophia sighed softly: "This time the preparation was not sufficient, and the contact was a complete failure. But... At least we got to know each other for the first time. Next time we meet, I will definitely be fully prepared."
