Chapter: 4927

This moment.

It's 8:30 am in New York.

Le Xun gave Felix a phone call and said, "Felix, make some arrangements. I want to go to the ice rink to take a look at Li Yalin."

Felix thought for no time at all and said, "Okay, Le Xun. I'll prepare the helicopter. We'll be at the hotel rooftop in 15 minutes to pick you up."

"Great." Le Xun just said, "See you later."

"That's fine, Mr. Le Xun. See you later."

Fifteen minutes later, Felix boarded the helicopter and landed on the rooftop of the Golden Han Palace Hotel.

He Dexin brought along Su Ruoli, Chen Zekai, Hong Wu, and together they boarded the helicopter.

Half an hour later, the helicopter landed on a remote building in New York City's outskirts.

This was Felix's medical technology center.

The building, with a diameter of two kilometers, stood 25 stories high and surrounded by very strict security.

After disembarking from the helicopter, Felix took the lead, guiding them while saying to He Dexin, "Sir, this is a medical technology center established by my grandfather, focusing on developing and testing advanced treatment methods and drugs, including cutting-edge proton therapy systems for cancer, as well as cellular immunotherapy. We have all of these here, and they are the best in the world."

He Dexin suddenly remembered something else and said, "Oh, by the way, sir, you should know about Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center? It's renowned as the world's top cancer specialty hospital."

"I've heard of it," He Dexin nodded, saying, "Memorial Sloan Kettering is globally well-known. Few people don't know about it."

Felix smiled slightly and said, "Our team members working on cancer research here have 60% or more overlap with Memorial Sloan Kettering. Their top experts are also serving here, even surpassing them in cutting-edge research. After all, Memorial Sloan Kettering has to consider profitability, but we don't."

He continued, "Additionally, we have the country's top organ transplant center, top cancer treatment team, top cardiovascular and anti-aging research teams. Our cryogenic center is located on the fifth floor underground, designed to operate for 300 years. My grandfather said that if he were to pass away, his body would be sent here immediately to be frozen, leaving a lifeline for future revival. Maybe 200-300 years later, technology could bring him back to life."

He Dexin nodded and sighed, "It seems like maintaining such a medical research institution requires significant annual costs from the Felix family."

He Felix sighed, "At least tens of billions of US dollars per year, and even higher during peak stages when we've burned through 20-30 billion US dollars in a single year."

He then said, "However, although this place doesn't pursue profits, it's still possible to generate revenue. Some effective research outcomes can be commercialized well, creating significant profits. Currently, over 70% of our costs are recoverable, and the medical industry is like that – although we invest heavily, once we develop top-notch medications or new therapies, we can earn hundreds of billions of US dollars a year. As long as one product takes off, it's possible to turn a loss into a profit."

He Dexin nodded in agreement, saying, "In the medical industry, what's most feared is not being able to invest in research and development. Some pharmaceutical companies hold onto a few drugs for years or even decades, making it hard to contribute meaningfully to society. Only by investing heavily in R&D can we make a positive impact on society."

He Felix nodded seriously, saying, "Mr. Ye said correctly – research is crucial in the medical industry. After taking over the company, I didn't reduce our budget; instead, I added 30% to 50% flexibility to our original budget."

As they chatted, they had already reached the top-floor elevator.

At this moment, the elevator arrived, and when the door opened, three men walked out, one of whom immediately recognized He Dexin with a look of excitement.

"What are you doing here, Mr. Smith?" He Dexin asked curiously.

Mr. Smith smiled and replied, "I came to complete some routine work with FDA, which has a few clinical trial projects in collaboration with Fee's Medical Technology Center..." JrNovels.com
