Chapter 410: Ratchet Up

Presumably, those people would not miss such a good opportunity, right?

As for Pitt, his passion was stirred up by Lu Ming’s continuous comments. This was a situation that he had not expected at all. He did not expect that at such an old age, he could still be overwhelmed by a few words from a young boy. So this was the plan that Lu Ming mentioned. Indeed, they could not find a breakthrough at the moment. What about having many people work together?

There was an old Chinese saying about strength in numbers. He did not believe that with many people, they still could not figure out anything! He listened to his heart beating like thunder, and his entire body seemed to have boundless energy! He took a step forward and said, “Pfizer, too! If we can successfully make preventive medicine, Pfizer will increase the incentive by 100,000 yuan!”

“The ones who contribute the most will receive a Lamborghini from me in person. Those who don’t like cars can sell it for money!”

The entire venue was in an uproar because of their words! Everyone blushed and spoke in succession.

“Boss Lu, you’re awesome! We’ll definitely produce results this time! We won’t hesitate anymore, nor will we give up halfway! Even if I faint from exhaustion, I won’t let the tragedy of the epidemic happen in front of me! You’re right! Our duty as experts is to protect the common people!”

“Boss Lu is really going all out this time! Since you’ve already done your part, what excuse do we have to reject? I can already picture the epidemic prevention medicine being successfully produced and traveling everywhere after that! Boss Lu, you have to keep your word!”

“Look at what you’re saying. When did Boss Lu ever go back on his word? Since he dares to say it, it proves that he has such financial means. However, I didn’t expect the investors of Pfizer to be so generous! Pfizer & Lu Ming Corporation! I’ll be your die-hard fan for the rest of my life!”

…

Lu Ming looked at the people below who were on steroids and said with a smile, “Then it’s settled. I’ll continue to inject funds in the future. Just tell me what you want. Our Lu Ming Corporation won’t be destroyed because of an epidemic! To be honest, what I don’t lack the most is money. You can also help my wallet to lose weight!”

He paused for a moment and continued, “Of course, I won’t stop anyone who wants to withdraw at the last minute. I can understand your difficulties, and I hope we can have a mutual understanding. If you have any objections, you can report to me in a timely manner. I’ll try my best to create the best environment for you to experiment.”

After saying that, he turned to look at Pitt and suggested, “You don’t have to worry about the funds anymore. I will be responsible for paying for everything. You just need to help me bring in talents. You don’t have to go around looking for investments. How about it? Happy cooperation?”

The weight on Pitt’s heart finally lifted. Having been relieved of such a huge burden, it would be much easier for him to go back and persuade the other investors! After all, he only needed to help recruit people and did not need to come up with a steady stream of funds. It was simply a great thing! Even if they could not make preventive drugs later, they would not lose much.

And Lu Ming Corporation would shoulder the bulk of the funding.

Thinking of this, he cast a complicated gaze at the young man beside him. Is he that bold? Even though there is no sign of success now, he is still willing to fork out so much money. Or could it be that… Lu Ming trusts these researchers so much? Could it be both? Otherwise, how could I explain Lu Ming’s bonuses and the promise he made?

This is incredible! thought Pitt.

To have such a temperament and shrewdness at such a young age, it is indeed as the rumors say—he is a genius! When did such an amazing person appear in China? Many people in the West thought highly of themselves and never took any country seriously, and Pitt had similar thoughts before. However, what happened today changed his worldview!

He had to admit that Lu Ming was quite smart. No matter where he went, he would involuntarily attract the attention of others. He was like a human spotlight. Even Pitt was fascinated by his mysterious aura. Who would not like or admire such a genius?

His smile was more sincere than before. He stretched out his hand and said, “Mr. Lu, I like you more and more. This is my heartfelt thought. Happy cooperation. If you want to go to the United States in the future, you can call me anytime. I’ll make time to show you around!”

“No problem!”

The two of them clasped their hands. The rope that was about to break was firmly connected again.

As for the video recorded by Ji Yu, it was posted on the official website under the boss’s instructions. The same clip even appeared on the front page of Pfizer’s website. This time, not only was China abuzz with excitement, but even the biologists in the United States were in a frenzy. Such huge incentives would definitely induce people to rise to the occasion. No one could resist the enticement of such a big cake!

Even those who did not specialize in this area began to regret not choosing a medical specialization back then. Otherwise, they would not be so close to instant success and yet so far! This was so tempting! Many people wanted to take advantage of the situation, but fortunately, they were all blocked by the Head of Human Resources!

…

Snow Country Cafe.

A man in a blue shirt with an unkempt beard was subconsciously using a spoon to stir his coffee. Even though it was cold, he had no intention of drinking it. The blonde woman sitting across from him said, “How have you been? You seem to be in a bad way. Did something happen? Kager.”

Kager shook his head at first, then said helplessly, “I think you should know, Cora. How annoying that boss of mine is! He keeps disturbing me like a fly. He clearly doesn’t know anything about biology, but he always acts like he’s guiding the world. There were a few times when I was about to successfully produce a drug, but I failed because of him!

He even suspected that there’s something wrong with my ability or my education! Moreover, you don’t know how ridiculous he is. It’s not easy to survive in this industry now. In order to cut costs, he keeps reducing the production cost of the drugs, so the drugs won’t be effective for those who take them!”

He had originally thought that he had no choice but to lower his head under the eaves, so he had been enduring his boss’s nonsense. If not for the fact that the other companies thought that his university level was too low and he really couldn’t find a job elsewhere, why would he be working for a company with little to no scruples? The long-term suppression made him wonder if there was really something wrong with him.

But he wondered why his mentor said that he was a genius back then. He had to admit that the university he attended was a lower ranked university.
