I'm a hero in Marvel
Chapter 55 Leader
Because of this stance and subsequent support for weapons tracking, the clues provided by Osborne helped the Chinese government eliminate several separatist strongholds in the country. After repeated weighing and systematic evaluation by Chinese scientists, it was considered a harmless medical technology, rather than the genetic engineering or human modification technology that the government was worried about. In early May, the Chinese government officially announced that it would open the domestic limb regeneration medical market to the Osborne Group.
The first batch of medical centers opened included 10 medical centers in three major cities, Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. As soon as the news came out, the stock price of Osborne Group, which had plummeted due to the scandal of its Japanese branch, quickly rebounded. Harry, who had been questioned and accused in the company, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Losing in one corner but gaining in another, those weapons illegally flowing into Japan were not legal in the first place, and the company did not make much actual profit from them. Most of the profits were divided up by Japanese insiders and the Yashida Group.
Therefore, although Harry sacrificed some company profits for the principle of honesty, he gained the Chinese government's full opening of the medical market, improved his personal reputation, and shaped his image as a socially responsible entrepreneur. Overall, Harry's choice was a good deal.
After the Chinese medical sites were announced, all ten spots were booked the next morning, and some were even scheduled for three years later. In China, a super populous country, there are a huge number of patients who have lost limbs or body parts for various reasons. Although the overall incidence rate is lower than that of other countries, the total number is still alarming.
Representatives from the Osborne Group have traveled to China to add more medical sites and expand the reach of the limb regeneration program. Since the program began, the company's in-house experts have been trying to optimize this medical technology. But for some reason, Harry did not directly use the Osborne Group team.
He set up a new private company, which was Li Jie's suggestion. Because the patent for limb regeneration belongs to Harry personally, not the Osborne Group. With the importance of this patent, Harry's status in the group has risen, and the older generation of company members dare not easily interfere.
But if the Osborne Group improves and upgrades this technology, then this technology will become the patent of the Osborne Group, and Harry will no longer have the patent for the new technology...
In the business world, it is necessary to keep some back-up plans. Therefore, at Li Jie's suggestion, Harry founded a personal technology research company. He invited many internationally renowned experts to join in improving this limb regeneration technology.
A generous salary and the opportunity to be remembered in history are two benefits that not everyone can encounter. Almost all the invited experts gladly accepted Harry's invitation.
As Harry's consultant, Li Jie naturally participated in the preparation and establishment of the company. The new company was named: Osborne Technology R&D Studio. However, this company had nothing to do with the Osborne Group and was entirely invested by Harry himself.
A small incident occurred during the establishment of the studio. Professor Otto was originally the leader of the Osborne Group's new energy research and development. He had great ambitions for new energy and dreamed of creating an "artificial sun" in the laboratory! This plan was halfway through. However, due to the sudden appearance of Tony's new energy technology, the Osborne Group directly stopped Otto's work.
Because Tony Stark's new energy technology has proven its value and has mature production capabilities, while Professor Otto's new energy plan has just started, and even if the experiment is successful, it will take 15 to 20 years to reach the level of commercial application.
In fifteen to twenty years, Tony's helium-3 energy will be able to meet global demand. How can he compete with Stark Industries? Since there is no commercial prospect, it is a normal choice for commercial groups to suspend experiments. So, Professor Otto was fired by Osborn Group.
Coincidentally, when Li Jie and Harry were discussing the establishment of a new company, they saw Professor Otto's name. Li Jie discovered that in addition to new energy research, he was also good at mechanical prostheses and neural connection technology.
Almost instinctively, Li Jie invited Otto to join the preparations for the new company. Professor Otto, who was unemployed and lost his goal, accepted the invitation.
When Professor Otto came to the company to report and had an in-depth conversation with Li Jie, Li Jie felt fortunate. Li Jie could not remember the real name of Professor Otto, but he was familiar with his other nickname "Doctor Octopus", who was the famous villain in the second Spider-Man movie.
He had caused Peter a lot of trouble with his mechanical claws. Now, for various reasons, he stayed away from the failed experiment that could have led to a turning point in his life. Well, the artificial sun was too dangerous, so he should wait until the technology was mature before considering it.
Li Jie decided to let Dr. Octopus use his expertise to assist Harry in developing human auxiliary mechanical skeletons in the new company, so as to make suitable mechanical skeletons for the elderly or weak people who cannot regenerate bones.
Today, the doctor that Li Jie took Saul to visit, Dr. Stephen Strange, is also one of the experts of the new company. He participates in a part-time capacity, or more precisely, as a consultant.
In the process of limb regeneration, the reconstruction of flesh and bones is not the most difficult part. The real difficulty is the precise regeneration of those tiny nerves. Dr. Strange is a genius in neurosurgery. His achievements in this field are so extraordinary that he even invented a surgical technique named after him - "Strange Suture".
They met the doctor at a high-end hospital on Manhattan's Upper East Side. Strange's hospital had the highest cure rate in New York, but also the most expensive.
Dr. Strange is very busy. His assistants have a pile of documents to review every day. These are all patients who want him to help treat them. Because Strange has been practicing medicine for many years, the success rate of the surgeries he has revised is close to 100%, which makes him a legend, especially in the field of neurosurgery, which is almost impossible to do.
Doctor Strange has a gentle face, looking more like a scholar than a famous doctor. He is slender and looks a bit like a model. The most eye-catching thing is his hands.
With ten slender and powerful fingers, if he had not become a doctor, he might have achieved success by playing the piano. With his elegant temperament, outstanding appearance, and successful career, Dr. Strange can be said to be a winner in life.
After Li Jie shook hands with him and exchanged greetings, he became more convinced of his opinion.
"Hello, Mr. Li. Would you like some tea or coffee? Here we have Ceylon black tea and Blue Mountain coffee." Strange's hospitality showed his taste.
He did not look down on Li Jie because of his youth, because he knew that the young man had a special relationship with Harry Osborn. Although he was only Harry's personal consultant, in fact, he had a great influence on Harry, making him more like a senior manager of the Osborn Group.
"Thank you, Red Tea. Doctor, it's nice to meet you. Thank you for joining our technology research laboratory. Speaking of which, I haven't really communicated with you except for meeting you at the first company meeting." Li Jie had a very good first impression of Dr. Strange.
Because he shows good manners in his dealings with others. You won't feel tired or uncomfortable talking to such a person...
Strange asked his personal assistant to bring two cups of black tea over the phone, then smiled at Li Jie, then turned his gaze to Thor and asked, "Who is this?"
"This is Thor, the one I mentioned on the phone just now. For some reason, I hope he can find a job in the hospital." Li Jie pointed at Thor and introduced him. Thor forced a smile as a response to Strange.
Doctor Strange looked Thor up and down, his lips pursed for a moment, but he quickly relaxed again without showing any disrespectful behavior.
"Does Mr. Thor have any knowledge or experience in medical care?" Strange raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"I know battlefield first aid bandaging and simple trauma treatment, such as first aid." As a soldier, injuries are common, and Thor has learned some basic first aid skills on the battlefield. However, he is not good at anything too complicated, after all, Asgard has professional therapists.
Thor's skills are only for emergency use when the therapist is not around.
"Battlefield?" Hearing this word, Strange was a little curious, "Mr. Thor was a soldier before?"
"To be precise, I am the commander." Thor was once the military leader of Asgard.
"?" Strange looked at Li Jie, confused. Li Jie had to help Thor explain: "His nickname in the army is Commander. After all, every soldier has the dream of becoming a general."
Strange gave a formulaic smile: "So Mr. Thor doesn't have relevant medical certificates, but he has learned basic battlefield first aid knowledge, right."
"That's right." Li Jie nodded and answered for Thor. "After all, he is not here to apply for a technical position. I have already said that on the phone."
"Okay, I understand." Strange smiled at Thor. Thor didn't like his smile because Strange's smile reminded him of the way Loki treated him perfunctorily, and Strange's smile was not as good-looking as Loki's.
"So is it okay for Mr. Thor to be a stretcher bearer on the ambulance? This position does not require much medical skills. You just need to be able to assist the doctor in fixing the injured and know basic wound dressing and CPR. The main job is to carry the injured, and there is some physical work involved."
This is the kind of job Li Jie wants, and he thinks it is more meaningful for Thor. Thor can't be idle every day, he needs a formal job to let him know that life is not just about fighting, and it is equally important to support himself through his own efforts.
"Okay, I think it's okay." Li Jie glanced at Thor, and the two exchanged glances. Thor did not show any dissatisfaction. Being a paramedic? Thor thought this job was good, better than cleaning.
Moreover, after going to work, he would not have to face Li Jie's hellish training every day, so he had no objection to Li Jie's decision.
"That's settled then. I have some influence in this hospital. I'll say hello to the emergency department and you can report in tomorrow, Mr. Thor. They're short of staff right now." As Strange was speaking, his assistant came in with two cups of black tea.
The assistant did not leave after putting down the tea. He still had a few documents tucked under his arm. He glanced at Dr. Strange, indicating that he had something to say.
"Excuse me." Strange smiled at Li Jie and the others, pulled his assistant to a corner of the office, and lowered his voice to make sure Li Jie and the others couldn't hear him: "What's the matter?"
"These patients have been waiting for three months. They have been waiting for you to confirm the operation time, doctor." The assistant answered in a low voice and handed the documents under his arm to Strange.
"I've told you many times not to show me this kind of document." Strange quickly glanced through the document and said to his assistant in an unhappy tone.
"This man's spine is severely fractured. The bone spur has severed the entire spinal nerve. This is a fatal injury. Even if we use the latest limb regeneration technology of the Osborne Group, the entire spine must be pulled out for successful regeneration. How much risk do I have to take for this operation? What about my 100% success rate?! I have said long ago that I will not accept this kind of patient unless he is the US Secretary of State!"
"And this one, a Mexican immigrant, with nerve necrosis in his left arm. The operation isn't difficult, but why doesn't he just ask the Osborn Group to regenerate a hand?" Strange asked, quickly flipping through the information.
"Because the Osborne Group's limb regeneration technology is too expensive." The assistant answered truthfully.
Strange looked at his assistant as if he was a fool. "Listen, Tom, I don't want to swear. But I have to confirm, did you bring your brain to work today? The information says that he was operating a hot dog stand and his hand was hit by a heavy object due to operational errors. He can't afford the limb regeneration plan. Do you think he can afford our surgery? I don't even know how much his medical insurance can cover!"
"Hospitals are open for business to make money," Dr. Strange said confidently. "Do you want the hospital to be burdened with bad debts? Hospitals need to make profits, and doctors need to have a reputation. You haven't considered these two points. Tom, this is the last time. If this happens again next time, I'm afraid I'll have to consider changing my assistant."
The young assistant named Tom blushed at Strange's words: "I'm sorry, sir."
