I can extract side effects

"Come on, Dawei, let's go this way, let's go to Shanhai Xiaochao, I have some new things in my hand, I'll give you a good taste."

Holding a bulging woven bag in his hand, Huang Qin walked through the bustling crowd to a small door on the second floor of the cafeteria.

This is a relatively simple restaurant with the words "Shanhai Xiaochao" hanging on the door, which looks ordinary.

Williams followed closely, his eyes widened in surprise: "This is the legendary Shanhai Xiaochao with a very good taste?"

"Of course, since I said I would invite you to dinner, of course I must invite the best."

Huang Qin shook the bag triumphantly and walked in.

There weren't too many people in the store, and he was only half seated. He quickly found a seat, threw the bag in his hand on the table, and shouted loudly.

"Old Meng, there are new products today, cook some dishes for me to try."

As soon as the words were finished, all the diners turned their heads and stared at the bags on the table, as if they saw some stunning beauty, they couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

Seeing this scene, Williams was startled: "Qin, what's in your bag, why are they so strange?"

Huang Qin waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't make a fuss, this is normal. The bags are filled with some newly developed vegetables and fruits sent by Syngenta. There are all kinds of them. These brothers seem to be very knowledgeable."

Sure enough, someone couldn't help but came over: "Brother, you can't finish a meal with such a big bag, can you sell the rest?"

Huang Qin smiled: "Of course, but I pack everything for the boss. You can ask the boss to order later. I don't make money, so I just have a meal, haha."

At this time, Lao Meng came over. He was black and fat, and exuded a smoky atmosphere. He was the owner and chef here.

"Oh, Brother Huang, it's you. As soon as I heard your voice, I knew something good would happen." Lao Meng opened the bag on the table with a smile, revealing the colorful fruits and vegetables inside.

His eyes lit up immediately: "They are all good things. This corn is sweet and glutinous, and you can pinch water. This rice is as white as jade. It looks like a high-end product. This should be a seedless mango. This is a sweet tomato." ? Detoxified mushrooms? And fist-sized strawberries, tsk tsk, they are all good things.”

Williams was also shocked: "Qin, where did you get so many delicious food?"

"Hey," Huang Qin scratched his head: "Actually, it's all the result of our team's cooperation. Some gene-edited vegetables and fruits have been optimized for size, yield and taste, and then Syngenta planted them. Send a batch of each for us to try."

"Our team members don't know how to cook, so we only eat fruits. The leftover vegetables and grains are not much anyway. I always bring them to Lao Meng and ask him to cook them for me. By the way, I can change them to something else. vegetable."

"Haha," Lao Meng laughed: "Don't worry, I cook, the taste is absolutely delicious, today you are lucky."

After speaking, he cheerfully carried the bag and walked into the back kitchen.

Suddenly, William suddenly realized, looking at the other diners, his eyes were a little strange: "So that's the case, then they all know about it?"

"Yeah, it's been a long time. From time to time, Lao Meng comes out with fresh dishes. The taste is much better than ordinary vegetables. They all know it. Don't worry, as long as I don't sell these vegetables and fruits for money, I can eat them myself. It's nothing."

Huang Qin happily explained: "Today I specially took some good things. The improved wild mushroom inside tastes really good. It is said that it retains the umami and nutrition, and removes the toxicity. I will stew a pot of chicken later. , Tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes my saliva flow down."

As he spoke, he couldn't help rubbing his hands expectantly, looking like he was about to slander.

The diners next to him were also hungry, and hurriedly shouted: "Boss, give me a piece of that wild mushroom."

"I'll have one too! And that rice, and a tomato scrambled egg, and a plate of strawberries."

"Okay, brother, you are the rhythm of a person who wants to make a circle, don't go too far, save some for everyone."

"That's right, if you want to eat, we want to eat too."

"Don't you know the rules here? Every time a new product arrives, you can only order one dish per table."

"Ah, there is still this rule. I was reckless. I'm sorry, I only want a wild mushroom."

"Waiter, what are you doing in a daze, come and order!"

Huang Qin looked at the lively scene, and suddenly smiled: "Dawei, look at how popular these genetic crops are. When they become popular, we will be able to buy them in supermarkets in the future, and we can also order them in restaurants."

Williams nodded thoughtfully: "It's really attractive, and I'll try it out later."

Speaking of this, he frowned and looked at Huang Qin: "Qin, since you came back after the year, you have become strangers to me. There are so many delicious foods, and you don't give me some."

Huang Qin suddenly complained: "Dawei, there is a season for this crop to mature, it is impossible to have it every day, and every time there is only a little, the fruit will be robbed as soon as it arrives, and the rest will be gone after I eat two meals .”

"You've always been so busy, especially since you became a full-time director Tang. I haven't seen you for a long time. This time, I emailed you to make an appointment with you a week in advance, so you're free. I'm ashamed to blame you."

"Well, that's really my fault." Williams was a little embarrassed: "I've been working very hard recently, staying in the laboratory every day, and even Director Tang told me not to work so hard, it's better to slow down, saying that I It puts a lot of pressure on other colleagues.”

Huang Qin rolled his eyes: "Dawei, what level do you have, you don't have any score in your heart, should you understand my painstaking efforts now?"

Williams asked curiously: "So you always ask this and that, and try to slow down my scientific research pace, all for my own good? So that I can maintain a good relationship with my colleagues?"

"This," Huang Qin was dumbfounded for a while, before he said in embarrassment: "You don't need to say it so clearly."

He quickly changed the subject, winked and said: "Dawei, I can only treat you to vegetarian food now, after a while, maybe I can treat you to meat."

"Oh, no, no, Qin, didn't you just say you wanted to eat stewed chicken with mushrooms? Did you go back on your word?" William suddenly looked frustrated.

"No, no, I didn't mean that, I mean, we might have gene-edited meat in the future."

Huang Qin shook his head quickly: "Actually, today is mainly to celebrate my promotion and salary increase. I can achieve my current achievements thanks to your tireless teaching, so I must thank you."

"Oh, Qin, you're too polite." Williams said with joy on his face, "I didn't even know you were promoted. Tell me the details and let me share your joy."

Huang Qin said excitedly: "Two days ago, Mr. Wei came to me and said that I did a good job in the field of seed gene editing, which impressed him very much, so he decided to let me take charge of a new department, the animal health department. Responsible for the conversion of human medicine to pet medicine."

"Of course, these are secondary. The animal protection department still has a new task, which is to study gene-edited animals. You know, this area has advantages, and my ability is not bad. It is really a strong alliance. Haha .”

"Qin, you are amazing, so you are the head of a new department, congratulations."

After congratulating Williams, he asked: "So, you already have a new idea? Mind to hear it?"

"The gene editing of animals is very popular now. In addition to Sanqing, many companies and scientific research institutions are also researching this area. According to the latest news, some teams have developed spineless fish, which has great commercial prospects for the breeding industry. "

"There are also many foreign teams that have achieved outstanding results. The FDA has approved the launch of several gene-edited animals. For example, the recently popular gene-edited pigs are not only edible, but also have certain medical value."

Huang Qin said happily: "As for me, our department is still very small, and I plan to mainly cooperate with major institutions and enterprises, just like I did with Syngenta before..."

Williams suddenly interrupted him and said: "Qin, this won't work. You have to be more aggressive, so as to impress Mr. Wei. Genetic animals are different from crops. In terms of crops, Syngenta is a very A powerful enterprise, but in terms of animals, you don’t have such a strong partner, you can only rely on yourself.”

"If I remember correctly, the animal protection department was a marginal business before, and there were very few people."

Huang Qin nodded in bewilderment.

"So you not only have to take the initiative, but also set a mid-to-long-term goal. If there is a shortage of people, you should quickly recruit people, or find people from the biology laboratory. Anyway, you know Director Tang's people very well."

Williams took a sip of water and counseled him.

"Those people are all tech freaks, and they are full of thoughts on how to change the world. I guess such a trivial matter as animals won't interest them." Huang Qin shook his head.

"So you have to have a long-term goal in order to attract this group of people. This is called drawing big cakes."

"Moreover, the prospect of gene-edited animals is very good. In addition to the commercial value in the breeding industry, the value in the pharmaceutical industry is also very high. Model animals are a very profitable business. The price of our company's gene knockout mice is very high." High, the supplier must have made a fortune."

Huang Qin was immediately moved: "Sounds very good, so I can also choose small laboratory animals?"

"Wrong, didn't I just talk about drawing pancakes, so I suggest you choose an animal like a pig to make a breakthrough first." Williams shook his head, and when he saw the waiter start serving the dishes, his eyes lit up instantly.

Huang Qin pondered: "Pigs are indeed an important agricultural resource and animal model in biomedical research. Modifying the pig genome can greatly improve production effects, increase meat output, feed digestibility, and disease resistance. It is exactly what I want to cooperate with the giant in the breeding industry."

Soon the waiter served all the dishes, and Williams took a bite of the wild mushrooms and was full of praise.

While eating the vegetables, he puffed up his cheeks and continued.

"In addition, and most importantly, pigs are very similar to humans in genetics, anatomy and physiology, so pigs can also be modified to simulate human diseases, or used as a source of organs for xenotransplantation, so that Saving countless lives means a lot, and it will undoubtedly attract more people.”

"That's right, this direction is the real big cake! Why didn't I think of it." Huang Qin slapped his thigh suddenly, overjoyed.

"So, my short-term goal is to transform human medicine into pet medicine, and at the same time cooperate with various companies and institutions in the breeding industry to develop new breeds or improve genomes, among which pigs can be used as a key project."

"The medium-term goal is naturally to study the medical value of pigs, serve as a disease model, and assist in the development of various new drugs. As for the long-term goal, it will focus on gene editing and strive to shine in the field of xenotransplantation applications."

The more he talked, the more excited he became, even his breathing became heavy, as if he saw a golden broad road slowly unfolding in front of him.

Williams kept the chopsticks in his hands and stuffed his mouth full. He was really at a loss for what to do, so he could only nod in agreement.

"Uh, uh, yes!"

Huang Qin lowered his head and pondered for a while, thinking through the new idea more thoroughly, and only then did he gain confidence in his heart.

"Eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables." He picked up the chopsticks with a smile and looked at the dazzling array of dishes on the table.

Then, the whole person was dumbfounded.

There was a sudden scream in the hotel.

"Ah! My food! Is it gone? Where is my big pot of chicken?"

"You fucking did it on purpose!"

"Dawei, you have learned badly, how can you be so despicable and shameless!"

*****

Beijing CDC, AIDS Epidemic Prevention Office.

"Good, good, good!"

Director Han said three good words in a row, stood up abruptly, and patted the table excitedly.

He waved the report in his hand, and said to the secretary happily.

"In the past few months, Duanailing has been promoted in the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The HIV elimination plan is going very smoothly, and the effect is unexpectedly good."

"The information on the existing AIDS patients has been fully grasped, and their medication status has been tracked very well. Basically, their illnesses have been brought under control, and the HIV virus test results in their bodies have turned negative."

"The most gratifying thing is that the infectivity of this disease has been greatly contained."

"The number of new HIV infections in the last month is zero!"

"This is the most surprising result!"

"The situation is very good! Victory is in sight!"

When Director Han said this, he was already so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

The secretary quickly said, "That's great. In this way, the domestic AIDS epidemic can be said to be completely under control. Congratulations to the director."

"Such an astonishing achievement must be widely advertised so that the whole country can know it."

"I'll report the good news to the leader first, and then I'll call Sanqing when I get back."

Director Han instructed carefully, took the report in his hand, and walked towards the gate.

Halfway through, he suddenly remembered something, and the smile on his face suddenly became brighter.

"By the way, I remembered that next week is the 25th World AIDS Conference, and I have to go to the conference then."

"China has zero new cases of HIV, and the spread of AIDS has been controlled in advance. This is a great joy."

"We must share our joy with foreign friends who participated."
