For higher-level figures like Bernhard in the academic world, Chen Chen would first evaluate the possibility of them joining. If the other party had a stable family and career, Chen Chen would not try to get involved.
Chen Chen would only extend an invitation to people like Bernhard, who had no family and a troubled career, and send Cheng Cao and the others to receive them.
It would be best if the other party agreed. However, if the other party still refused after seeing the information about the age-reversal treatment, Chen Chen would have to erase their memory.
After a period of testing, the five people who followed Cheng Cao had also been implanted with the God chip and became members of God's Forbidden Zone. Not only that, Chen Chen also exchanged the remaining energy in the USB drive for four GS Combat Suits.
GS Combat Suit, also known as Gantz Suit.
It was a must-have combat suit in Gantz. Even an ordinary person wearing it would immediately become a Superman with stamina surpassing that of a long-distance runner, strength surpassing Hercules, and speed surpassing Usain Bolt.
At this point, Chen Chen had six combat suits in his hands. Cheng Cao and the other five could each pick up a target. In less than half a month, the Blacklight Biotechnology Research Institute welcomed eighteen people who had reached the level of a professor in the field of biology.
These eighteen people were carefully selected by Little X. Although they had great potential, they had always been unrecognized and did not carry much weight in the academic world. Therefore, their departure did not attract the attention of the government.
As for those young talents with great potential, half of them came to Namibia under the temptation of high salaries. Chen Chen paid for their return tickets, promising that if they were not satisfied, they could return at any time.
In an instant, the originally deserted Blacklight Biotechnology Research Center quickly became lively.
"This is the license from the Namibian Ministry of Health."
On the third floor of the laboratory building of the research center, Chen Chen sat at the head of the conference table. He took out a gilded qualification certificate and handed it to Bernhard beside him. "With this clinical license, we can start the clinical trials of the 'stem cell age-reversal' project."
Bernhard looked at the qualification certificate in his hand with a strange expression, then passed it to another professor next to him.
For a moment, no one spoke.
"What do you think?" Chen Chen asked.
"It's amazing."
A middle-aged man named Evans took the qualification certificate and said thoughtfully, "Uh... If we don't consider the import cost of various resources, this is indeed a paradise for experiments."
"Indeed." Another person interrupted, "There's no medical quality inspection, no ethical review, and no experimental supervision. What are we worried about?"
"I wonder if this country's Ministry of Health can understand the experiment materials we submitted?" Someone said, and laughter came from the conference room.
"I still need to be careful." Chen Chen suppressed his laughter and reminded, "Everyone, don't spread the news for the time being to avoid triggering international public opinion. After all, we're going to be doing experiments on cloned embryos."
Everyone nodded.
"Alright, let's talk about the project in the experimental center."
Chen Chen reminded again, "Now, apart from Professor Bernhard, no one has a project in hand. In this case, you can all recruit your favorite assistants in the research center."
"I'm sure everyone can see that most of the young people I've invited are graduates from well-known universities. Even if some of them aren't, they have outstanding achievements and great potential. As long as you can convince them to stay, they will be your assistants."
Everyone nodded in agreement. The research center had given them a lot of authority.
"If you have any good projects, you can also apply to the research center. Now that the research center has just been opened, the resources are still very loose. When the staff is full in the future, there won't be such a favorable environment anymore."
Everyone nodded matter-of-factly.
Just as the atmosphere was gradually becoming lively, there was a sudden commotion outside the window.
Chen Chen frowned. Just as he was about to close the window, his phone rang. When Chen Chen saw the caller ID, he nodded apologetically to everyone, and then answered the call.
"Boss, it's bad. The villagers nearby have come to the research center to cause trouble!"
Qian Wenhuan's anxious voice came from the phone. "They're at the entrance now and they're trying to rush in. We can't stop them!"
"I'll be right there." Chen Chen stood up and turned to look out the window.
He saw that there were hundreds of people gathered at the entrance of the research center not far away. It was a dense mass of people. More than a dozen local security guards were pretending to surround them and did not seem to have any intention of stopping them.
"Boss, there seems to be a problem outside the research center?" The one who spoke was the American biology professor, Evans. "Should we call the police?"
"No, everyone is dismissed." Chen Chen turned and walked out of the conference room. "Leave it to me."
With that, he took the lead and walked out of the conference room.
It was not until he walked out of the laboratory building that Chen Chen saw that the group of troublemakers was led by four or five people. These people were wearing their shirts and kept yelling in some dialect. Qian Wenhuan stood on the stage and kept explaining something to the crowd.
Cheng Cao and the five bodyguards took the place of the security guards to stop the crowd from rushing into the research center.
Some of the other employees stood at the back and watched while others stepped forward to help. It was chaos.
"Boss?"
"Boss!"
As soon as Chen Chen appeared, the sharp-eyed Wang Liang quickly walked to Chen Chen's side. "Boss, what should we do now?"
"Who are these people and what happened?" Chen Chen looked at the agitated crowd outside the door and frowned.
"These are villagers from several villages near the research center. The largest of them is called Gorob Village. There are several hundred households in it."
Wang Liang wiped the sweat off his forehead and quickly explained, "These people say that we have too few slots for the locals. Also, with so many foreigners suddenly coming, there are even fewer slots for the locals. They say that according to the local rules, we need to hire at least a hundred of them."
Chen Chen frowned when he heard this. He had already hired fifteen local security guards and ten receptionists. The less trouble, the better. Otherwise, Chen Chen would rather not hire a single one of these people based on their gluttonous and lazy behavior.
"Also, they somehow found out about the professors' monthly salary and said that we're being unfair. They want us to increase the salaries of the locals as well," another employee added.
Chen Chen almost laughed when he heard this. "I understand. Go get Qian Wenhuan."
The person next to him nodded and quickly ran forward. After a while, Qian Wenhuan came running over, looking battered and battered, followed by Cheng Cao.
"Boss, why are you here?" Qian Wenhuan asked quickly. "It's too dangerous here. These people can easily get out of control."
Cheng Cao reminded in a low voice, "Many of these villagers are HIV carriers. Be careful not to get hurt."
Chen Chen waved his hand. "It's fine. Wenhuan, tell them that they can work if they want. Starting tomorrow, I'll be recruiting fifty volunteers to participate in a clinical trial. As long as they sign the contract, I'll pay each of them a hundred thousand Namibian dollars."
"A hundred thousand?" Qian Wenhuan and Cheng Cao exchanged a look. "Understood, I'll go tell them now."
"Wait a minute." Chen Chen pulled Qian Wenhuan back. "But I have a condition too. I'll only recruit people over fifty years old."
"Understood!" Qian Wenhuan nodded. Cheng Cao wanted to follow but was stopped by Qian Wenhuan. "I can handle it alone. You protect the boss!"
With that, he rushed into the crowd again.
Soon, after Qian Wenhuan passed on the news, the noisy crowd finally calmed down.
Following that, several local security guards stepped forward and explained the situation. Only then did the villagers disperse reluctantly.
