Chapter 960: Chapter 818 Secretly Delivering Prizes_2

"Please!"

Under the guidance of Huang Jiacai, Yang Ping visited Ruixing’s Institutes and Laboratories. The first-generation prototype of the Biological 3D Printer had been produced, but as it was the result of reverse engineering, it wasn’t particularly impressive.

However, the second-generation product was nearing completion with significant improvements over its predecessor, even incorporating some innovative technologies.

The planned third-generation product was expected to achieve scaffold-free printing. Until then, all biological 3D printing had to rely on scaffolds to maintain the shape of organs, the only difference being the material of the scaffolds.

Scaffold-free printing technology was the true essence of biological printing. It could not only print the shape of target organs using cells as the material but could also print the connections between cells, authentically simulating real organs at a microstructural level, rather than merely copying the shape of a gourd.

If the third-generation product’s functions were all realized, it would be possible to print organs with simple structures such as skin, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments.

After visiting the Institutes and Laboratories, Huang Jiacai took Yang Ping to see the company’s cafeteria, dormitories, entertainment centers, etc., and finally returned to his office.

Of course, Ruixing’s employees had no clue that Yang Ping was the real boss. They always thought Huang Jiacai was the boss, so everyone was very curious about what kind of background this young man had to make the boss so respectfully accompany him.

"Professor, as you can see, we have established three major R&D centers nationwide. Next, we plan to establish R&D centers in Europe and North America, utilizing local talent to serve us. In the field of orthopedic consumables, we’ve firmly secured our market share. We are gradually entering the market with consumables for other specialties. We have fully unfolded our range of consumable products, including surgical sutures. Currently, our key laboratories are three--- Biological 3D Printing Technology, Medical Materials, and Artificial Organs. The fourth laboratory, Biological Chip Laboratory, is being set up. Many investment companies have approached me hoping to invest and promote our IPO, but I have declined, not just now but also in the future. I have no plans for an IPO. Only this way we can firmly keep the company in our own hands."

Huang Jiacai, full of ambition, pointed to a map in his office as he introduced these to Yang Ping.

"Excellent!"

At that moment, "excellent" was all Yang Ping could say, as he seemed to find no other appropriate words. When it came to business matters, he was almost completely ignorant and had no interest.

"The specialized equipment needed for the Stem Cell Laboratory has been documented by Doctor Tang and sent over; we’re expediting development on it," said Huang Jiahui, who accompanied him.

"Just keep in touch with Doctor Tang about these things. The Biological 3D Printer technology must be prioritized in R&D. It’s going to be as important in the biological field as photolithography machines are now, so we must take the lead," Yang Ping instructed.

"Professor, our Biological 3D Printing Laboratory’s R&D team has already expanded to over two thousand people, and we are setting up branch research institutions in Europe and North America," Huang Jiacai knew that this was a strategic focus of the company. Consumables were merely cash cows whereas the real competition with international giants was in these future-oriented technologies. Falling behind in these technologies would mean that catching up later would be nearly impossible.

"Should we call Chen Zhi over?" Huang Jiahui suggested. Chen Zhi was Ruixing’s Chief Engineer.

Yang Ping shook his head: "Let’s just sit down and have a cup of tea. He’s so busy, why call him over for nothing?"

Yang Ping knew that a technophile like Chen Zhi hated all kinds of social engagements. Letting him work unbothered was most important.

Commissioner Qiao from unit 301 came personally this time, with only one person accompanying him, a Deputy Director from the Provincial Hall, who was also an acquaintance of Dean Xia.

They didn’t come with good intentions; it was another ploy to poach talent.

Dean Xia’s mind raced, considering how to deal with Commissioner Qiao, who was said to be a master of political work, a type of person who was difficult to handle.

"Dean Xia, hello, hello, it’s finally nice to meet you."

"Commissioner Qiao, welcome, welcome."

Introduced by Director Ming from the Provincial Hall, everyone sat down and talked slowly. Although there were only two visitors, Dean Xia had to take time out of his schedule to deal with guests of such significance.

"Sanbo Hospital truly has a wealth of talent," Commissioner Qiao said with a smile as he passed by. "I just noticed that one building houses several institutes—Cardiovascular Surgery, Neurology, Spinal Surgery—a single hospital with numerous institutes is rare nationwide. Sanbo Hospital is truly advancing by leaps and bounds."

"Compared to your hospital, we are just a small one, merely trying to make a show," Dean Xia humbly replied. "Hospitals like ours, neither big nor small, are in an awkward position. We are labeled a Provincial Hospital, but we lack resources and can’t retain talent, unlike your larger hospitals bustling with talent. We’re content if we can just keep our current staff and ensure that several thousand employees can make a living. We don’t expect to make rapid strides every day."

Are you trying to poach our staff? Isn’t that bullying the smaller party? Won’t you let us live in peace?

"Dean Xia, too modest. Our days aren’t easy either. The tasks imposed by superiors are heavy, and many are mandatory," Commissioner Qiao said in a conversational tone.

"Dean Xia, Commissioner Qiao is here on a special mission—"

After some small talk, Director Ming from the Health Department began speaking, introducing the main topic.

Dean Xia was mentally prepared. He had lost count of their visits, but they came wave after wave, changing their tactics each time, but their purpose remained the same—to poach talent!

Yang Ping himself doesn’t want to leave, so there’s nothing any of you can do. You can’t just kidnap him, right?

Dean Xia had a strategy in mind and was thus unfazed—responding to unchanging tactics with flexibility.

"This time, I am here—"

Commissioner Qiao began.

"I am here to present Professor Yang with an award and prize. The surgery where he assisted the Old Academician as Chief Surgeon was extremely successful, and the superior leadership is very satisfied. They insisted on giving a reward. How to reward him? In addition to presenting the Award Certificate, they have also decided to present a Hongqi Sedan as a special award. Congratulations, congratulations!" Commissioner Qiao said cheerfully, then took out a document bag with both hands. It likely contained the award certificate.

This time they’re not here to poach talent? Just to present an award and prize? And they’re giving away a sedan as an award?

Dean Xia concealed his suspicion and pretended to be delighted, "Congratulations, and there’s a Hongqi Sedan, too?"

"Yes, transportation is certainly needed, especially for a professor like Yang. He needs a good vehicle," Commissioner Qiao said.

Dean Xia didn’t understand why they would award a sedan. To be honest, he had never encountered such a precedent before.

In a lower voice, Commissioner Qiao said, "Dean Xia, this is no ordinary sedan. Its license plate will be recorded in the Public Security System. Moreover, the car comes with an alarm system, linked directly to the public security system. The upper levels greatly value talent like Professor Yang’s—"

Dean Xia let out a sigh of relief, now understanding the situation. Upon further reflection, it indeed made sense. For a genius like Professor Yang, security is a top priority. Why hadn’t he thought of this?

"I’ll call Yang Ping over," Dean Xia initially thought they were here to poach, so he didn’t want to alarm Yang Ping.

Commissioner Qiao gestured with his hands, "No need. Young people are used to having freedom. If you call him over to accept the award, he’ll feel uncomfortable. As the dean, you can accept on his behalf. I also don’t want to disturb Professor Yang as I’ve heard he’s quite busy now. I don’t want him to resent the disruption."

"No need to meet him in person?" Dean Xia was surprised. Why were they being so unassuming this time?

Commissioner Qiao said with a smile, "We are just following your example. Young people, after all, should not feel burdened by such trifle matters."

This was also the direction from the leadership—ensure that the award and prize are delivered, but keep it low-key to avoid giving Yang the impression of red tape. That’s why Commissioner Qiao didn’t make a show of it. He simply had a local staff member accompany him and handled the matter succinctly.

"Here are the award certificate and the documents related to the vehicle. I have delivered them! There will be someone to follow up later!"

Commissioner Qiao handed the elegant document bag to Dean Xia with both hands.
