Chapter 212 The mantis stalks the cicada
Seeing Jiang Miao coming back, He Youwei quickly stood up: "Teacher."
"Why are you so sad?" Jiang Miao took off his coat and put it on the coat rack next to the shoe rack.
Shuya said while holding her daughter, "The project she was researching has not made any progress."
"The lupus erythematosus specific drug project?"
He Youwei looked helpless: "Yes, teacher, I tried everything but didn't get a good result. Although I found several common gene targets, these common gene targets cannot suppress lupus erythematosus with high efficiency and low side effects."
"Since you can realize this, I guess you have discovered the problem." Jiang Miao sat down on the sofa and pinched his daughter's little face.
Hearing this, He Youwei smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes, teacher, if I were asked to customize drugs for every lupus patient now, I could customize a special prescription for each patient with just two or three minor adjustments, but I'm afraid there is no way to mass-produce a universal drug."
"Do you have any idea?"
"Isn't the teacher's company going to build a hospital?"
"You want to work in this hospital?"
He Youwei nodded: "I want to help other patients like me and customize special medicines for them."
"Are you sure?" Jiang Miao picked up the teacup and took a sip. He knew that He Youwei had obtained a doctorate degree from China Peking University last November and also obtained the residency qualification at Union Hospital.
However, because He Youwei learned Jiang Miao's various gene target treatment techniques, she had no way to use these techniques in Union Hospital. After all, Union Hospital only gave her the residency qualification based on her background, and most likely secretly hoped that this little ancestor would graduate quickly and find a better job elsewhere.
"I'm sure. I think that through the relationship with Union Hospital, I found five patients and prepared special medicines for them in the way of developing new drugs. After two or three fine-tunings, they can achieve the same effect as I do. Since there is no way to develop a universal drug, I think I can't waste the knowledge I have learned."
Seeing He Youwei's determined gaze, Jiang Miao nodded slightly: "Then can you take care of scientific research?"
"Okay." He Youwei nodded very affirmatively.
Jiang Miao shook his head: "I can open a lupus specialty for you in Hailufeng Hospital, but you have to hurry up this year to train a few capable doctors. Don't do everything by yourself, just do the core work. In addition, I will revise the Nuwa system and launch an auxiliary diagnosis and treatment system specifically for lupus genes. You can use this system and bring in more doctors, and the efficiency can be increased by at least dozens of times."
"Thank you, teacher." He Youwei was very moved.
Currently, Hailufeng Hospital has been established. Jiang Miao did not start from scratch, but directly asked people to acquire three private hospitals and then merge them into Hailufeng Hospital.
These three private hospitals are located in the urban area, Haifeng and Lufeng, and they are all small hospitals with very poor management.
Jiang Miao does not need these hospitals to make profits immediately, but rather to use them as bases for training medical staff.
Compared with large tertiary hospitals, Hailufeng Hospital tends to focus on specialized treatment, such as He Youwei's lupus erythematosus specialty.
In fact, if the specialized departments are well developed, there will be many patients given the huge population in China. For example, the incidence rate of lupus erythematosus in China is 30 to 70 per 100,000.
What is the incidence rate?
This is equivalent to 42 to 98 patients nationwide. With such a large number of patients, it is estimated that it will not be enough to support a specialized hospital, let alone open several branches.
However, the current treatment plan for lupus erythematosus does not allow for the large-scale training of specialist physicians, and He Youwei can only be trained slowly on her own. After all, to be able to read the gene sequence, without being taught the genetic rules, it can only be taught through rote memorization.
Fortunately, this is only a specialty of lupus erythematosus, and the gene sequences involved are relatively few, so it can be assisted by rote learning and the gene target treatment support system.
If you want to do what He Youwei did, you can conduct gene target analysis independently for each gene type of disease, and you can only learn the genetic rules.
He Youwei thought of another thing: "Teacher, I will handle the lupus specialty, but the development of general drugs has failed. After the Spring Festival, I plan to find a new research direction. I wonder if you have any suggestions?"
"Suggestions?" Jiang Miao fell into deep thought.
At this stage, the medical research projects with the most development prospects are cancer, AIDS, Alzheimer's disease, organ transplantation, diabetes, hypertension, hyperuricemia, etc.
However, cancer can be basically ruled out. It's not that He Youwei is not capable, but with the gene targeted therapy technology she has learned, it is very likely that it will be the same as lupus erythematosus, and she can only develop a specific medicine for each individual. This is obviously not a suitable direction.
Organ transplantation is not suitable for her either, and she cannot handle such a project alone unless Jiang Miao is willing to help.
But Jiang Miao didn't want to develop technologies like organ cloning so quickly.
The rest include Alzheimer's disease, AIDS, hypertension, diabetes, hyperuricemia, etc.
After thinking it over, Jiang Miao said, "You can study hyperuricemia. This disease is largely caused by problems with the immune system. You can consider developing some gene-targeted drugs that are highly effective and have few side effects."
"Hyperuricemia?" He Youwei nodded. "This direction is indeed good, and it is relatively easy to find a target. Okay, I will study the specific drug for hyperuricemia next."
After Shuya handed her daughter to the nanny, she smiled and reminded: "You must be mentally prepared. Drug development is not that simple." "I know." As a doctor of medicine and having interned at Union Hospital for a period of time, she naturally knew the troubles of drug development.
The phase III clinical trials alone will take at least five or six years.
Considering the time consumed in drug development, the launch of each new drug involves a long process of about 10 years.
Ordinary companies really can’t afford it.
Only large pharmaceutical companies or state-supported enterprises can spend more than ten years to develop a new drug.
As for Hailufeng Pharmaceuticals, the company has sufficient cash flow support, and with the application of new technologies, He Youwei should be able to make very rapid progress in the early stages of drug development. Even the late-stage phase III clinical trials, even at full speed, will take about three years, and the entire process will be about four years, which is basically the fastest speed for new drugs to be launched.
He Youwei chatted with Shuya for more than two hours, and then took the high-speed rail back to Beijing in the afternoon to celebrate the New Year.
Jiang Miao was in the study on the second floor.
He is watching a stock.
This is a bank stock in Hong Kong.
Although the bank's stock fluctuated little, Jiang Miao had a clear view of the undercurrents behind it.
He has been secretly paying attention to the bank's stock and the shareholders behind it for half a month.
"Soros... finally made a move?"
Today, when Jiang Miao saw the short sellers secretly increasing their chips, he knew that Quantum Fund had started to take action. The reason why this bank was targeted by international speculative giants such as Quantum Fund was that this bank had taken over a lot of Hong Kong government funds and businesses, and could use indirect methods to bring down Hong Kong's financial system.
In fact, the reason why Soros dared to do this is that Hong Kong’s cash reserves have declined rapidly in recent years, showing a dilemma of not making enough money to cover its expenses.
However, Hong Kong's control over the financial industry is still relatively strict, and several large core banks have made a number of plans to prevent this. After all, Soros attacked Hong Kong's financial system in the past.
The reason why Jiang Miao discovered the other party's little tricks was mainly because when he was investigating the Ferryman Organization before, he conducted a secret investigation into the various layouts of various capital forces in Hong Kong.
It was during that investigation that he discovered the small moves made by Soros and others.
A major shareholder behind the bank was secretly coerced into handing over a lot of confidential information, among which was some very damning black material.
Jiang Miao discovered that the major shareholder's share of the shares had dropped from 12.7% in September last year to 5.4% this year, with a cumulative reduction of 7.2%.
International speculative capital such as Quantum Fund is secretly accumulating funds, preparing for a big wave.
However, at this time, there was another force in the bank's stock market that was secretly sucking away the bank's chips.
This force is the offshore fund secretly controlled by Jiang Miao.
Over the past few years, he has accumulated US$23.7 billion in various offshore accounts through various means. With these funds, he registered an investment fund called "New Century Fund" in the Cayman Islands.
The managers of the investment fund are in Hong Kong, but they don’t know that Jiang Miao is the boss behind the scenes.
As for whether this group of people would be obedient, he didn't worry too much, because the people he found all had big scandals. If these guys dared to make trouble, Jiang Miao would just need to expose these scandals, and these people would definitely be in trouble.
Moreover, Jiang Miao's intelligence capabilities also made these guys silent.
A large number of offshore accounts were secretly opened through the New Century Fund. At this time, Soros and several major shareholders of the bank were unaware that 13.9% of the shares were secretly controlled by the New Century Fund.
At this time, the New Century Fund secretly held as much as US$55 billion.
The reason why the funds can be doubled is mainly because Jiang Miao knows too much negative information about companies through the Internet. By targeted blasting of these companies, he can reap a large amount of funds.
However, Jiang Miao did not operate too frequently. He only set up a few businesses a month. He would run away after making tens of millions of dollars each time to avoid making too much money and becoming too obvious.
With accumulated funds of 55 billion US dollars and holding 13.9% of the shares, this medium-sized bank with a total share capital of only more than billion Hong Kong dollars can directly initiate a forced takeover.
But Jiang Miao did not act hastily.
The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.
He was waiting for the Quantum Fund to cripple the bank and then buy it over at a low price.
