A few days later, Chen Chen sat in the conference room and quickly flipped through the proposal sent by Xia Yin.
"Project Xingtian, huh?"
After flipping to the last page of the proposal, Chen Chen could not help but smile, then clicked a tick on the computer with the mouse.
At this point, the company's new website style and the name of the bionic prosthetic project were officially determined.
Next, it was the head office's operation and publicity.
However, in the head office's plan, Xia Yin hoped that Chen Chen could make more public appearances. It would be best if he could become a symbol of Blacklight Biotechnology, a benchmark, just like Tencent's Ma Huateng, Ali's Ma Yun, and Jingdong's Luo Zhixiang.
After all, Chen Chen did have the qualifications to become a "symbol" — at the young age of eighteen, he developed the age-reversal treatment project, then dropped out of college and started his own business. In just three years, he became the boss of a group with a market value of tens of billions.
Youth, success in his career, and countless halos — these were Chen Chen's "symbols".
For this reason, Xia Yin hoped that Chen Chen could give a speech at TED.
TED, in English, was an acronym for the three words "technology", "entertainment", and "design". It was a private non-profit organization in Northern America. The organization was famous for the TED Talks it organized. The purpose of this conference was "Creativity Worth Spreading".
Those who were qualified to participate in TED were top talents in various industries, such as Nobel Prize winners, or legendary tycoons like Bill Gates and Elon Musk. There were also scientists, philosophers, artists, explorers, psychologists, linguists, religious leaders, philanthropists, and so on.
Since the TED Talks were uploaded online in 2006, it quickly gained worldwide attention and became one of the most authoritative speech platforms in the world. If Chen Chen could make it on this stage, Blacklight Biotechnology's Project Xingtian would quickly spread around the world. The effect was much better than spending hundreds of millions of dollars on global advertising.
Seeing this, Chen Chen thought for a while and finally agreed to this proposal.
As the company's influence grew, the name Chen Chen was destined to be known by more people. Due to the fact that he was the first to develop a vaccine for the Blacklight virus, Chen Chen had been nominated for this year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine last September.
If there were no more twists and turns, Chen Chen would definitely win this year's Nobel Prize. This was something that even the North American government could not do anything about. If Chen Chen lost, it would affect the authority and fairness of the Nobel Prize.
After all, in the medical field of 2023, no one would be more outstanding than Chen Chen.
Chen Chen closed the webpage and began to ponder silently.
Currently, the company had almost reached its peak in the field of biopharmaceuticals. It had several patents in its hands and also owned the Eco Science City. After a few years, when the three anti-cancer drugs passed clinical trials, and the AD-001 drug that could completely cure Alzheimer's disease was released, even the likes of Pfizer and Novartis would not be able to compete with it.
At that time, Blacklight Biotechnology would officially become an unprecedented world-class pharmaceutical monopoly group. It would be even more difficult for one or two continents or countries to make a move against it.
However, according to normal practice, when Blacklight Biotechnology had developed to that level, it had basically reached its limit. It was basically impossible to continue to grow, such as reaching the level of Umbrella Corporation.
After all, the potential of a single industry was limited. Even if the global pharmaceutical industry were to unite, they would not be able to stand on equal footing with the Earth Federation. If Chen Chen wanted to advance further, there was only one choice —
That was horizontal cross-border development!
If a company wanted to achieve long-term development, it had to take the initiative to extend into other fields and reach the top in each industry. This was the path to the development of a corporate empire.
What was a corporate empire?
It was an enterprise that had "imperialist" characteristics. It did not do things according to economic rules and had its own unique way of doing things, such as private armed forces that only answered to the company, a unique economic monopoly system, and top-secret projects that were hidden from the public, in cooperation with the government, and so on.
Even the average country had to be wary of this kind of enterprise. Any move it made could cause a sensation in the world. Its political influence was no less than that of a country.
Even the major continents had very limited control over this kind of super monopoly. Chen Chen's goal was to reach this level of enterprise, and even more powerful!
However, it was not easy to cross over. Without a foundation, technology, and talent, everything had to be started from scratch. It was similar to building a company from scratch.
However, for ordinary companies, crossing over was indeed a very dangerous move and could even lead to the company's bankruptcy, but for Chen Chen, it was not a problem at all.
After all, Chen Chen had a key that could lead to the major dimensions.
Through this key, he could obtain any high-tech technology he wanted. These technologies were enough to stand at the forefront of energy, electronics, networks, industry, and even aerospace and military.
As long as there was enough time, Chen Chen would build a real-life version of Umbrella Corporation sooner or later...
...
Three days later, on the official website of Blacklight Biotechnology Ltd., there was suddenly a major change.
Previously, on the homepage of Blacklight Biotechnology's official website, there were only four major sections, namely the biopharmaceutical section, the medical project section, the infectious disease section, and the electronic technology section.
The four major sections were represented by the four colors of green, white, gray, and black, making it easy to see at a glance.
Among them, the biopharmaceutical section naturally contained three anti-cancer drugs that had entered the clinical trial stage. The medical project section included the "Age-reversal Treatment" project, "Alzheimer's Disease Reversal Treatment" project, and so on.
As for the infectious disease section, it contained research information on the Blacklight virus and vaccine. These were all publicly available on the official website for anyone in the world to view.
Under each section, there was an independent forum. Due to the authority of Blacklight Biotechnology, these forums gradually attracted the attention of countless scholars. Many big names in the medical field had registered accounts on the official website of Blacklight Biotechnology, turning it into a professional academic exchange website.
Under the management of Little X, the forum under the official website of Blacklight Biotechnology was managed in an orderly manner. This won the favor of the big names in the academic field, who made this place their permanent residence.
However, just this morning, when some academic big names and editors of various journals opened the official website of Blacklight Biotechnology as usual to search for materials, they were shocked by the new official website page.
They saw that among the four major sections that were arranged in a square, there was suddenly a new section.
The color represented by this section was gold and there was a new section name on it — Tissue Engineering.
If someone clicked on it out of curiosity, they would find that a large blank page appeared on the screen. In the center of the blank space, there was a large "question mark" and behind the question mark was a phantom of a human.
The phantom was blurry and one could barely make out the shape of a person, but what was strange was that the phantom was headless...
Seeing this new section, many people who had been quietly watching the company understood that Blacklight Biotechnology had a new product.
As a rising pharmaceutical giant in the field of biopharmaceuticals, Blacklight Biotechnology was not very high-profile, but its every move still affected the minds of countless people. After this announcement was released, many international media outlets, large and small, began to scramble to report on it.
[Blacklight Biotechnology is suspected to release a new product. This time, it may extend its tentacles to tissue engineering!] — Wall Street Journal.
[Explode! According to industry sources, Blacklight Biotechnology is suspected to have joined forces with Elon Musk!] — Tencent News.
[Blacklight Biotechnology's new business confirmed to be related to tissue engineering, the representative is suspected to be the ancient character Xingtian from the Mainland!] — Sina Express.
[When people opened the main page of Blacklight Biotechnology's official website, the Earth Federation was shocked!] — UC Subscription Number.
With the exposure of the major media, Blacklight Biotechnology publicly announced the release date of the new product and announced that on April 1, the founder and chairman of Blacklight Biotechnology would hold a TED Talk, and the venue of the talk was arranged by TED officials as an exception to be in Blacklight Biotechnology's Eco Science City!
This move almost gave Blacklight Biotechnology enough face. Suddenly, Blacklight Biotechnology became a topic of conversation in the biotechnology circle again. Some netizens who were more concerned about the biological field were even more excited about it.
"A project in the field of tissue engineering, plus that headless horseman, it's actually easy to guess, it must be related to head replacement surgery!"
Under the new section of Blacklight Biotechnology, some netizens speculated.
"Bullsh * t, if it's head replacement surgery, do you think the International Bioethics Committee will agree? Not to mention that stem cells haven't solved the problem of spinal nerve reconnection so far! "
Some people who were more knowledgeable quickly refuted.
"Maybe it's a cloned body. Hasn't there been a rumor circulating on the Internet recently that many rich people privately clone their own bodies in order to transplant organs in the future? Maybe this headless silhouette is a clone without a head? "
Some people speculated again.
"Oh yeah, sofa! Rub the dog head on the second floor! "
Some people fought for the floor.
"With this hand speed and internet speed, it's like saying goodbye to bicycles." Someone mocked.
"Impossible, any human cloning is prohibited by international law of the Earth Federation. Those who say human cloning and head replacement surgery can all take a break."
"The UC editor's horse is gone, all you know is shock all day. Even the ashes of your family have been shocked!"
...
For a time, there were people who were thinking about it, and there were people who did not care about it at all. The entire forum was a mess with all kinds of comments.
