The only thing Gilead didn't expect was that Wei Kang didn't really care much about how much money Duan Ai Ling could make overseas.

For Weikang, the greatest significance of this drug's launch is that it can cure millions of AIDS patients across the country, so that healthy people no longer have to worry about being infected.

How much money you can make is important, but not that important.

At least it's not ranked number one.

He will be very happy if he can continue to earn money from overseas patients. After all, he is paying for domestic patients.

An overseas patient has an annual income of more than 20,000 US dollars. How many domestic compatriots is this enough to treat?

These HIV patients in Eagle Country are all so fat that the cost of medicine for one person is as much as 30 people in the country.

The anti-AIDS drug market is worth tens of billions of dollars, and even if Ailin's market share reaches single digits, it still generates revenue of one billion dollars every year.

Duan Ailing has just been launched and has full potential. The patent protection period is still 20 years, which means there is enough time to earn huge profits.

As for whether the money is too much, whether it can seize Gilead's No. 1 market position.

He didn't take it to heart, after all, Sanqing didn't just rely on this one medicine.

At this time, he was in the office, listening to Anmei's report on the latest news.

"What? They came to ask for help in person, and specifically asked for the love-breaking spirit from Sanxin?"

Wei Kang suddenly laughed angrily: "They are really thick-skinned, but I won't spoil them."

"The free drugs in the Philippines are basically cheap generic drugs. How can anyone take advantage of them and donate original drugs?"

"Tell them that Broken Aeling will be put on sale in the Philippines as soon as possible, and the price will be the same as that of Eagle Country. If you want it, buy it with real money. Anyway, in my impression, the upper class in the Philippines should be quite rich."

"In addition, the Sanqing Philippine Branch will provide the Chinese infected in the Philippines with Ailin at a preferential price. Otherwise, I can't help."

"After all, I gave up most of my interests to work with the country to complete the HIV eradication plan."

"It's not like these Filipinos haven't heard of this plan."

An Mei chuckled and said: "That's not true. When they heard about this plan, they were shocked and went crazy with envy. They wished they could naturalize in China immediately and have the quota to receive free medicine."

Wei Kang waved his hand and said, "Okay, I have already sacrificed a lot for patients across the country."

"For overseas patients, the only thing I think about is to make more money from them so that we can subsidize the domestic deficit."

"As for free drugs, let them go to Gilead and GSK. I heard that they have been doing charity recently and donating free drugs everywhere. It's really a shame. It's a pity not to take advantage of them."

Anmei nodded and continued: "One more thing. The Williams you asked me to pay attention to has been delivering news to Eagle Country, but the frequency of contact there has been much reduced after the year."

Wei Kang scratched his head: "Oh, it's him. I heard Tang Que's feedback and spoke highly of him. This guy is indeed a talent. Yingguo has spent a lot of money. I remember that his postdoctoral position seems to be expiring soon.

, it stands to reason that you should be ready to leave."

"No, he recently applied to become a full-time employee, and Tang Que also approved it and transferred him to the HIV gene drug research and development team."

"What? He didn't leave?" Wei Kang was stunned: "Didn't anyone respond over there?"

Anmei pulled up a communication file, which recorded in detail the recent chat between the two.

"He himself proposed to stay, and there was no abnormality from Yingguo. They just asked him to continue to deliver the news."

Wei Kang frowned: "This seems a bit wrong. Look carefully and see if you missed anything."

Anmei quickly called up an early chat record and added: "I noticed that a person named Brody was mentioned in the chat record at the beginning of the year. He seems to be very important to Williams. You see, the use of very

He asked the other party in a fierce tone."

"Why didn't you tell me he was dead?"

"Are you afraid that I will lose control?"

"I'm free and I don't owe you anything!"

"Mr. Wei, you see, after a fierce confrontation, the two sides seem to have reached a subtle compromise."

"This may be the reason why Williams is willing to stay in Sanqing."

Wei Kang showed an interesting smile: "No way, is this an inside job? This Williams is really an interesting person. I am very much looking forward to his next performance."

Kunshi, Sanqing headquarters.

Williams looked at Tang Que standing in front of him in astonishment, his eyes shining with excitement.

"Director Tang, you want to transfer me to the HIV gene drug team?"

"It's great. I can finally become a real biologist and work hard for the advancement of human science and technology."

"Actually, I, I just wanted to become a full-time employee at first. I really didn't expect that I would join such an important project team."

As Williams was talking, he started to stumble a little, so he rubbed his face in embarrassment.

Tang Que looked at him with a smile: "You should know that I always like smart people."

Williams nodded involuntarily.

Tang Que paused and continued: "But you don't know, what I like most are geniuses like me."

"And you are a genius like me. My sharp eyes can never go wrong."

"Although it is not shown in your file, I have long discovered in your daily work that you have a unique understanding of viruses, and you definitely have a strong talent in this regard."

"My project team very much needs an expert in the field of viruses to solve the problem of genetic drug vectors."

"So, from now on, you are mine."

Tang Que looked at him with burning eyes, as if looking at a rare treasure: "I hope I'm not wrong about you."

"Director Tang, don't worry, I won't let you down." Williams patted his chest and said solemnly.

"That's good." Tang Que immediately reached out and put his arm around his shoulders: "Let's go to the laboratory now."

Williams was speechless for a moment, wondering if Director Tang was too impatient.

He reminded in a low voice: "I haven't seen the relevant project information yet."

Tang Que was suddenly enlightened, slapped his forehead and said, "Yeah, I almost forgot. Let's do this. I'll give you permission. You can check the information in the system first. I'll come back to you later."

Williams nodded and watched Tang Que leave, his heart suddenly moved.

He had actually heard about this project, and it was said that it was developing the most advanced genetic drugs.

Just one injection can completely eliminate the remaining HIV virus gene pool in the human body.

Gene editing technology is Sanqing's strength, so the project authority is very high, and ordinary people are not qualified to enter. The members are all the best talents selected by Tang Que himself.

He opened the email sent by Tang Que. There was a server link in it, and he clicked to enter.

Next, he carefully looked at the project documents and experimental data.

Sure enough, Tang Que and the others wanted to use viral plasmids to encapsulate genetic drugs. After entering the human body, they would use the characteristics of the virus to automatically replicate, thereby quickly spreading throughout the cells of the body and conducting large-scale gene editing of the HIV virus reservoir.

However, there are too many viruses in the world, and they have been searching for a long time, but still have not found the ideal carrier.

Williams raised the corners of his mouth, showing a confident smile.

He knew very well how deep his understanding of the virus field was.

As a top scientific researcher who has served in Eagle Country's biochemical institute for many years, he has conducted in-depth research on various viruses. His ability in this area is not to say unique, but can be regarded as one of only a handful.

In Eagle Country's database, the accumulation of this information has undoubtedly reached a terrifying figure.

Under such influence, even an ordinary scientific researcher will develop excellent abilities.

Not to mention, he is indeed very talented in this area and has a strong interest in it.

Williams browsed through all the information and several new solution ideas quickly emerged in his mind.

His fingers were flying, tapping the keyboard constantly, recording the plan he had conceived.

I was busy until the afternoon when I felt a little tired.

Outside the window, the sunset gradually set, and the dark yellow light shone in, giving his whole body a touch of afterglow.

Williams sat in the chair, stretched out his body, and felt a long-lost tranquility in his heart.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps in the room.

Tang Que's voice came from behind: "Dawei, come here, let's have a meeting together."

Williams immediately stood up and walked into the conference room with his computer.

There were seven or eight people sitting inside, all familiar faces.

Everyone looked at him in unison, as if waiting for him to speak.

Williams deftly connected to the projection screen and showed off the plan he had been thinking about all afternoon.

"Everyone, I have thought about it. There are very few existing virus vectors that can meet the demand. If we continue to search, it will consume a lot of time and energy."

"So, my idea is that we might as well directly edit the genes of existing viruses and transform them into vectors that meet our needs."

"Please take a look, these are the ones that I think are more suitable, including adenovirus, influenza, etc."

"They have a relatively strong ability to replicate in the body and can reproduce independently. This is exactly what we need."
