Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 643 The Curve! (Third Update!)

This only covers the provision of equipment; if you include the time for equipment transportation and customs clearance, it will take at least a year and a half.

It takes at least two years after receiving the equipment, which still requires installation, debugging, and various tests.

Two years...

Lin Yi slowly turned his head to look at Said, at this person who wanted to live longer.

If you plant Napier grass on his grave in two years, and if the rainfall is good enough, and you don't harvest it, the Napier grass will grow to at least two zhang tall in two years.

He pressed his hand to his brow and thought for a moment, then said to Said:

“Mr. Said, well… the situation might be changing a little. You’ll have to find a way to live for another two years!”

"Me?" Lin Yi spoke slowly. After hearing this, Said pointed to himself in disbelief.

How can I find a way to live for another two years?
So all those words I just said were for nothing?
My money!

At that moment, Sayed's eyes began to dart around as he began to think about how he should approach the situation to get his money back.

Or rather, we want some of it back.

His eyes darted around, and Lin Yi noticed and guessed what the other person wanted to do.

He wasn't about to give up money that was already in his grasp. He sighed softly, then shook his head: "You've misunderstood!"

"I'll go get something and put it in front of you. Then you'll understand why I wanted you to live two more years."

Before Said could react, Lin Yi got up and left the reception room.

After quickly returning to his office, he listed all the equipment suppliers provided by the system, searched for some more information, filled in the corresponding forms, and then printed them out.

The printer took a good 10 minutes to finally eject all the data.

After organizing the documents, Lin Yi reappeared before Said, placing several of the more important documents on the table and pushing them in front of him:

"The main problem is these few pieces of equipment. Their production efficiency is very slow, and the purchase of them requires approval."

"Even with the most optimistic estimate, and following the fastest possible process, it will still take about a year and a half."

"It takes at least two years to get the equipment, plus installation and debugging."

"You have to figure out how to survive these two years!"

Hearing these words, Sayed grabbed the documents in front of him. The first page of each document contained the name of the device and a rough diagram. They were all custom-made devices.

In the field of medical equipment, these devices are generally divided into general-purpose and customized types.

General-purpose equipment refers to devices such as centrifuges, small bioreactors, and freeze dryers.

The specifications are universal; once the buyer and supplier confirm the parameters, sign the contract, and make payment, the goods can be shipped.

Customized equipment requires manufacturers to spend time and effort to remanufacture it.

Most of these equipment manufacturers are located in America and Europe, with a smaller number in South Korea and Japan.

The export of these customized equipment needs to pass the review of America and Europe, and those exported to Japan and South Korea also need to pass the review of these two countries.

The review process can take anywhere from a week or two to several years.

Having figured these things out, Said's mind started racing. The equipment Lin Yi wanted was custom-made, and it would definitely be subject to scrutiny. Moreover, because the procurement location was in China, the scrutiny would be exceptionally strict.

Lin Yi's estimate of two years was perhaps his most optimistic estimate; it's very possible that these devices might never be produced in a lifetime.

We need to change the name.

Alternatively, by using Saudi Arabia's name and money to quickly procure these devices, transport them to Saudi Arabia, and then ship them from Saudi Arabia to China, the possibility of being censored can be minimized.

He casually put down the documents, looked up at Lin Yi, and said, "I will establish a pharmaceutical company in Saudi Arabia and then recruit top pharmaceutical experts from around the world."

"You need to translate the blueprints for these devices into English. I'll have someone take these blueprints and, in the name of this company, order the equipment from those large medical equipment companies."

"I think with my connections, I should be able to compress the time to about 3 months."

"Including shipping time, it will take about 5 months!"

"I need you to be ready within these five months. Once the equipment arrives, you need to get your people started developing the drug!"

"In the coming period, I will carefully adjust my lifestyle according to the nutrition expert's requirements and try to live a longer time!"

Lin Yi handed these materials to Said so that Said would take the initiative to acquire these devices.

After all, the patriarch of the family, which ranks fourth in assets, is suffering from various illnesses. Now he needs to buy some equipment to make things so that he can live a better life. No one can blame him for this.

Moreover, given America's European background, she would help him and allow him to survive better.

From America's and Europeans' perspective, Saeed was quite helpful to them during his time as King of Saudi Arabia. If a more radical leader were to replace him, it would be very troublesome for them.

Now that Saeed has agreed to this, that's perfect.

Lin Yi pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "In that case, I will give you the relevant blueprints later. You should set up a pharmaceutical company in Saudi Arabia as soon as possible and get these devices."

"I'll go prepare the materials!"

"Once the equipment arrives, we can begin!"

After speaking, Lin Yi handed all the documents in front of him to Said: "There are some other things here, take a look!"

After handing over the goods, Lin Yi prepared to leave. Just as he took a step out, Said called him back: "Mr. Lin, this is a collaboration between us. You won't sell these things to someone else, will you?"

Lin Yi stopped in his tracks and slowly turned to look at Said:

“We have collaborated many times, and I can assure you that what I give you is absolutely the best.”

"As for others, there may be some side effects."

As soon as he uttered the word "side effects," Lin Yi revealed a closed smile, showing off his white teeth. He grinned for a moment, then turned and left as quickly as possible.

The door closed, and Said's butler slowly approached him from behind, looking at the thick stack of documents and saying, "Are you really willing to believe him?"

Grabbing a document, flipping it open, and staring at the blueprints for a few seconds, Sayed looked up and asked, "So, do you think anyone can be trusted?"

The butler remained silent; given the current state of things, it seemed there was no one he could trust.

He shook his head and asked softly, "Then I'll send the message back home now and have Sall prepare?"

"Ok!"

Said nodded and continued examining the documents, his confidence growing with each reading. Meanwhile, the butler walked to the side, took out his phone, and called Sale, relaying the entire situation to him.

On the other end of the phone, Saller was completely bewildered after hearing what he heard.

But soon, he felt relieved.

If $20 billion can buy a single idea that can keep your brother alive for a few more years, then it's a very worthwhile deal.

After all, as long as my brother is alive, he can better attract the attention of those bastards in China, and also allow me to do some things without attracting attention.

By the time those bastards realize what's happening and try to retaliate, they'll already be dead.

He repeatedly asked about the points that needed attention and carefully memorized them all.

The housekeeper had finished handing over his work and was about to hang up the phone when Salle called him back:

"According to the information I have, those wealthy individuals who obtained the intelligence seem to be making some moves recently. You can pass this information on to Lin Yi."

"Understood!" the butler replied on the other end of the phone and hung up.

Saller held the phone in his hand, stared at the scenery outside the window for a while, then picked up his phone and dialed a number: "Create a pharmaceutical company in my name."

"We are extending an invitation to major medical research teams around the world to work together to overcome the problem of cellular aging!"

"Furthermore, we have sent invitations to major medical equipment manufacturers around the world, inviting them to Saudi Arabia and Riyadh, because we want to purchase equipment."

"Make a big fuss about it, let the global healthcare industry know about this."

After giving his instructions, Sall hung up the phone and then called Musa:
"I have created a medical company in my own name, and in the coming period, I will be inviting medical experts and equipment manufacturers from all over the world to Riyadh for discussions."

"Those bastards' attention should be drawn to this."

"Or rather, they might think that I'm focused on this boring job and won't notice them, which could cause trouble."

"Get ready!"

"If they don't cause trouble, you continue to gather information."

"If they cause trouble, retaliate immediately and wipe them out in one fell swoop!"

After he finished giving his instructions, Musa on the other side did not reply, but just chuckled, a laugh filled with malice that sent chills down one's spine.

Sall's men acted swiftly; he gave the order in the morning, and by the afternoon, the relevant invitations had been sent to renowned biomedical research institutes, research teams, universities, and equipment manufacturers worldwide.

The teams were completely bewildered upon receiving the invitation.

But at the same time, I'm happy.

The bewilderment stems from the fact that biomedical research is a one-way street, and it's highly unlikely that such a global invitation would be extended.

I'm happy because biomedical research is a money-burning path, a path paved with green dollars.

Research and development takes a long time and may even result in total financial loss. Countless research teams and pharmaceutical companies have poured huge sums of money into projects, only to end up with nothing.

Now, a company with state backing and abundant funds is extending an invitation to them; it would be foolish not to go.

Go there for two years, earn a high salary, complete the company's business during working hours, and complete your own business after working hours. You can do both work and research without neglecting either. After two years, when you have enough money, you can continue to pursue your own research!
perfect!

Research teams in the pharmaceutical field are overjoyed, but the financial backers of these teams are not so happy.

Wichita, Kansas.

On the banks of the Arkansas River at night, a gentle breeze blew, but it couldn't smooth the wrinkles on Al-Na's brow. His already gaunt face was contorted with even more grimace, and on his phone, the news of Saudi Arabia inviting a team of medical experts abroad was displayed.

After a while, he put down his phone, looked at the river in front of him, and asked Weiss beside him:

"Do you think Saudi Arabia was involved in the auction a couple of days ago?"

“Definitely!” Weiss nodded and continued, “As far as I know, King Saeed of Saudi Arabia has become very unhealthy due to his long-standing lifestyle. If they know that such a thing exists, they will definitely bid for it.”

"Perhaps, their invitation to global medical teams is in preparation for this."

His words made Alna frown. The old man in the wheelchair sighed and threw his phone into the river: "Any movement from Charles's side?"

"Not yet!" Weiss shook his head, looking helplessly at Alna.
“We have many subsidiaries and branches in China, but... none of them are very prestigious.”

"To negotiate these things with the Chinese government, you need to have enough leverage."

"Charles is pooling resources and looking for a suitable excuse to talk to the Chinese side."

"Furthermore, there is intelligence indicating that Soros is looking for explorers, seemingly preparing to explore Siberia."

"Several old nobles in Europe, especially in France and England, have recently been looking for explorers to go on an expedition to Siberia."

"Based on this intelligence, those bastards in the CIA must have sold that information to quite a few people."

"Heh—" Alna chuckled softly. He might have found it strange if the CIA hadn't spread this news everywhere.

But now, it's not surprising.

After staring at the lake for a while, he turned to Weiss and said:
"Contact Charles and tell him that I want to go to China in person!"

"Tell him to prepare the company information for doing business in China and send me a copy later."

"The name Alna Koch should be something that the Chinese government should take seriously."

Weiss didn't rush to move. He stood to the side, calmly looking at the lake, and calmly asked, "What about America's side?"

"From America's official perspective, I don't think it's very likely they'll let you complete the cooperation!"

These calm words made Alna slowly raise his head, his dark blue eyes suddenly brightening and filled with murderous intent.
"Not allowing it? Who's not allowing it?"

"President America? Or the Supreme Court Justice? Or perhaps the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate?"

"Right now, the information is unclear. If the information were clear, they would be running faster than anyone else."

"Money can be earned anytime, but to live a better and longer life depends on who comes first."

"It's not just them who want to live better lives; their backers do too."

"Anyone who dares to stop them is going against them!"

"Lincoln in his youth, Kennedy later—one laughing heartily, the other with a wildly imaginative mind—they are role models!"
