After the meeting, Chen Xiao asked Gao Miao to bring a fishing rod to the beach to bask in the sun and fish.

Around 2007, Suhang Bay was still one of the largest fishing grounds in the eastern part of the Xia Kingdom, but with the development of the city and overfishing, after more than ten or twenty years, it is difficult to see big fish here, underwater corals. The group also died piece by piece.

Chen Xiao thought that if Changtian Technology develops and grows, it will protect the waters near Changzezhou and Tianyue Island, so that Changzezhou and Tianyue Island will not only be the scientific research bases of Xia Kingdom, but also more powerful. People's tourist destination.

Chen Xiao felt that it was a right choice to place Changtian Technology's headquarters in Changzezhou.

Today's weather is very good, cloudless and light breeze.

After a few days of intense work, both Chen Xiao and Gao Miao felt that they should relax.

On the coast, Yang Ling used a special fishing rod, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

If you can catch two groupers and roast them at night, the taste is still very good.

Chen Xiao thought about Shen Wei who was far away in Yanjing.

He is basking in the sun, blowing the sea breeze, and catching fish.

Shen Wei should wear a thick mask and scarf at this time and endure these harsh days.

Yesterday, Chen Xiao watched the news. Yanjing was smoggy and sandstorm again.

Next year will be the Yanjing Olympics. In order to change the Westerners' image of the heavy pollution of the Xia Kingdom, and to allow the people of the capital to breathe fresher air, Yanjing has relocated a large number of heavily polluting enterprises such as steel factories to other places. .

However, from the current effect, it does not seem to be very obvious.

In spring, there must be heavy sandstorms, and as long as there is no wind, it must be heavy smog.

Chen Xiao thought about when to invite Shen Wei to Changze Island to take a good rest.

Chen Xiao thought of the sweet and sour fish made by Shen Wei, ah... drooling.

Gao Miao handed Chen Xiao a bottle of orange juice, which she made after work.

Chen Xiao took a sip, and the taste was not bad.

Gao Miao observed Chen Xiao carefully and knew that he should really relax.

From the Shanghai stock market to Yanjing, from the development of the first 65nm lithography machine in Xiaguo to the research and development of the mutated joint energy bacteria, Chen Xiao has always been tense.

Gao Miao knew very well that although Chen Xiao only held the position of technical director in the group company, he was the real helm of the company, and all the pressure was on Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao made a slight error in his judgment, and for the group company, it would be irreversible.

And a few days ago, Intel has officially released the Core Duo chip, and it is on sale worldwide.

Although Gao Miao doesn't know much about computers and semiconductors, she is also watching related news these days.

Knowing that Intel's Core Duo chip has just been launched, it has been well received.

And it was snapped up by many PC companies, including Lianxiang.

This put a lot of pressure on the Pangu chip of Changtian Technology.

Gao Miao thought, Chen Xiao might really just be sneaking around.

Gao Miao smiled a little at the corner of her mouth. She enjoyed the feeling very much, and even hoped that such a pleasant time could pass a little slower.

In the intensive care center office, Qu Ping's team was very busy.

They are combing the details of overseas patients one by one, and they are sending emails or calling to notify these patients one by one, clearly telling these patients that there is no way for Changtian Technology Middle-level Treatment Center to continue to provide them with medical care. Serve.

Because of the large number of people, the detailed situation is described and notified by email, and the call is only to inform these patients to pay attention to checking the email.

Those patients who did not leave an email will be notified in detail by phone.

In order to complete this work, Changtian Technology's Firefly OS System Company has also specially developed a communication software, which uses artificial intelligence to answer the question to explain the matter to patients queuing overseas in detail.

"Hello sir, is this Mr. Rhodes?"

For some patients with more distinguished status, the staff will also call in person.

Although there is a time difference at this time, the patients who are queuing in the United States do not dare to mute their phones at all. They are on the front line of life and death, and they are waiting for the call from the Changtian Technology Intensive Care Center.

For them, if the Changtian Technology Intensive Care Center calls, it means that they are likely to be in line and can be treated. This is the hope of life.

It is now 4:06 PM in Yanjing time and 4:06 AM in New York time.

But after the phone rang extremely quickly, Rhodes quickly picked up the phone by the bed and clicked to answer.

Rhodes, 62 years old this year, is one of the important figures of the Rockefeller Group and one of the core figures of the consortium.

He is one of the principals of the group's MetLife insurance company.

The MetLife Insurance Company is one of the largest insurance companies in the United States. Last year, in 2006, the MetLife Insurance Company's operating income was as high as 50 billion meters. This figure is very scary.

In 2006, Lianxiang's revenue was only more than 14 billion meters, and MetLife Insurance was basically three to four times that of Lianxiang.

As one of the leaders, Rhodes was sitting on a huge fortune at a very young age.

Owning wealth prematurely may be unfortunate for Rhodes.

Because Rhodes was hollowed out by alcohol when he was young, he was diagnosed with three highs when he was in his 40s, especially his blood sugar control was very poor.

When I was in my 50s, I got sick again and had kidney surgery.

Long-term smoking, coupled with alcoholism, xidu and lesbianism, Rhodes' immunity has already had major problems.

At the age of sixty, he was diagnosed with lung problems.

There was a tumor in the lung, which was benign after removal.

Gu Ge

But severe emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and pulmonary fibrosis plagued Rhodes.

When Rhodes was sixty years old, he began to take oxygen at any time, even when walking, he always carried an oxygen bag with him.

What the doctor determined for Rhodes was that he only had 2 to 3 years to live.

Unless the entire lung is replaced.

However, because Rhodes' immune ability is extremely poor, there is no way to perform large-scale lung replacement surgery, and he may suffocate to death before the operation is over.

Rhodes didn't believe what the doctor said. Ever since he was sensible, he felt that money could buy everything, so he also believed that money could buy health and life.

So Rhodes did not listen to the doctor. Instead, he spent a lot of money across the country and even the world to find those hospitals that could cure him.

At the most extreme time, Rhodes didn't even believe the doctor's words at all, but spent millions of meters asking the witch to treat him.

But it is a pity that no matter if Rhodes traveled all over the world to a hospital that could treat himself, or went to the so-called well-known witches and spent millions of meters, his disease was not affected by it. The treatment is good, but it is getting worse.

Two years ago, he was able to walk with an oxygen bag with him, but today, two years later, he can only lie in bed and wait to die. Even sitting up, he has difficulty breathing, which is very uncomfortable.

He didn't see hope again until he heard a friend's introduction to Changtian Technology's severe lung disease treatment center, and also saw the reports of the "New York Times" and other media on the treatment technology of Changtian Technology.

Rhodes also spent a lot of money to hire a middleman, who brought Rhodes's relevant medical records and tried his best to personally go to the attending physician of Changtian Technology's Tianyue Island Intensive Care Center to communicate, and got the treatment plan and successfully. Line up, this is relieved.

The attending doctor of Changtian Technology's Severe Lung Disease Treatment Center gave Rhodes' treatment plan in great detail.

They will first complete the transplant of the combined colony on Rhodes, so that Rhodes has both the function of pulmonary breathing and the function of the combined colony to provide oxygen.

This is only the first stage of treatment.

After the first stage of treatment is completed, Rhodes will stay in the recuperation ward for recuperation until his body can have a certain ability to move and his immunity has improved to a certain extent.

Even at this time, Rhodes could not go back to recuperate on his own, because he had severe lung disease, although the plan required that the transplanted combined colonies be completed first to ensure normal blood oxygen saturation.

However, its lungs are severely damaged, and it may infect sick children at any time, causing systemic infection and affecting other organs, so it can only be recuperated in the convalescent ward of the intensive care center.

Rhodes is a special case, and other patients will have their lungs removed immediately after completing the combined colony transplant, just to avoid serious lung infection.

When Rhodes is almost recuperating, he will undergo a second operation, which is to completely remove his lungs.

The entire treatment plan is very perfect. Rhodes spent a lot of money to get the medical team of Changtian Technology Intensive Treatment Center to make a medical plan in advance.

At the same time, the entire treatment cost of Rhodes is also expected to be very expensive, which will be as high as 3 million to 5 million meters, about 24 million to 40 million RMB.

Such an expensive treatment cannot be afforded by anyone, but Rhodes is a billionaire, so this little money is just a drizzle for him.

Rhodes got the news very early, so he lined up at the front. If there is no accident, after three months, he will be able to go to Tianyue Island in Xia Kingdom for treatment.

According to Rhodes' current physical condition, it may be difficult to persist for a year, but it is relatively safe to persist for three months without dying.

Moreover, Rhodes has already applied for a visa to Xiaguo, and he has also purchased a property in the place closest to Tianyue Island, and changed this property into a private high-end ward. He also changed his private jet. For the air convalescent hospital, and let the high-end nursing staff serve him throughout the whole process, to ensure that the period from the United States to Tianyue Island before the operation can be smooth and smooth.

Where do you know that the sky is unpredictable, and the plan is not as good as change.

Now the staff of the intensive care center actually informed Rhodes that for some reasons, the intensive care center will stop the treatment services for patients outside the mainland of Xiaguo.

This made Rhodes stupid.

The intensive care center is Rhodes' last hope. If the intensive care center refuses to treat himself, Rhodes will surely die within six months.

Although it was after 4:00 a.m. US time now, after Rhodes answered the call, the whole person was not feeling well.

With the help of his escorts, he finally sat up from the bed, gasping for breath.

The escorts saw that the vital signs data on Rhodes' bedside changed very fast, the heartbeat had reached more than 130 times per minute, and the blood oxygen saturation concentration had also dropped sharply.

The **** immediately notified the personal doctor, who immediately increased the supply of oxygen to Rhodes, and instructed Rhodes to calm down, lie down on the bed, and not get excited.

At this time, the staff at Changtian Technology Intensive Care Center said: "Mr. Rhodes, I have already notified my side. Please check the email for the specific situation."

Just when the staff was about to hang up, Rhodes quickly asked, "Excuse me, what is the reason for stopping overseas treatment services, is it because I don't give enough money?"

"If the cost of treatment changes, I don't have any problems on my side."

In Rhodes' view, as long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem.

The staff said apologetically: "Because of Bristol-Myers Squibb's improper requirements and hostile competition for the combined service therapy, we had to take such measures. The detailed information has been sent to you by email, please check and see you again. Goodbye. "

After the staff member hung up, Rhodes hurriedly asked his personal assistant to print out the mail and send it to him.

One of them is a touching letter of apology from Changtian Technology Intensive Care Center.

The letter said that the intensive care center has always taken the lives and health of patients as its own responsibility, and hoped to treat more patients, but because Bristol-Myers Squibb Company put extreme pressure on Changtian Technology... Let Changtian Technology only shrink its policy to ensure More Xiaguo patients were treated...

After seeing such information, Rhodes almost died of anger In fact, according to business rules, it is completely reasonable for Bristol-Myers Squibb to do so, but Rhodes now wants to live, so he Regardless of other companies' business rules and competition practices.

The letter tells Rhodes two key pieces of information.

The first is the reason why intensive care centers refuse to treat overseas patients.

The second is that if Bristol-Myers Squibb stops such behavior, the intensive care center will continue to accept overseas patients, and Rhodes will be saved.

Rhodes lay on the bed, breathing heavily.

He is sick now, but his mind is still clear.

Rhodes decided, whether through his own influence or through the influence of the Rockefeller Group, it was imperative to stop Bristol-Myers Squibb from such rude and impolite behavior, and to keep critical care centers admitting overseas patients.

And the faster the better!

Because he is only 62 years old! He wants to live!
