"Not much, ninety-nine percent," Zhou Yu said lightly.
Xie Yu looked up in shock, staring at Zhou Yu's face.
But after looking left and right.
Zhou Yu didn't seem to be joking at all!
Xie Yu immediately gasped for air.
If Zhou Yu hadn't been a person who didn't usually like to brag.
Xie Yu might have suspected that Zhou Yu was joking right now!
"Dr. Zhou, did I hear you correctly?" Xie Yu asked.
Zhou Yu nodded.
This project had actually broken through the first bottleneck, and it wasn't difficult after that.
After all, the raw materials of the fish were available, and the components were known.
This was much easier than before, when Zhou Yu had personally concocted the antidote based on the nature of the poison in the Xie family!
After Xie Yu received Zhou Yu's affirmative reply.
He seemed a little excited.
He immediately grabbed Zhou Yu's arm and said solemnly, "Dr. Zhou, our Xie family will never forget your great kindness!"
Zhou Yu was speechless for a moment.
He tapped Xie Yu's head and said, "Instead of thinking about how to repay the favor, you should be thinking about how to strike down the Shi family!"
"They stole your core data, and you're not going to do anything?"
Xie Yu gave a wry smile and shook his head.
It wasn't that they didn't want to do anything.
The main reason was that the Shi family and the Xie family were not in the same industry!
The Shi family had already intended to compete with the Xie family for the pharmaceutical market.
So the Shi family had established a pharmaceutical company long ago to go toe-to-toe with the Xie family.
Now that they had obtained the Xie family's core data, it was naturally time for them to soar.
But the Xie family.
Had invested all their energy and funds into the longevity drug project.
Where would they have spare hands to get involved in the Shi family's industry?
Therefore, they could only passively defend!
Zhou Yu shook his head speechlessly.
These Xie family members were really...
"Are you that honest?"
Facing Zhou Yu's question, Xie Yu gave a wry smile.
Over the years, it wasn't just Zhou Yu who had this question; others did too.
Although the Xie family was the leading pharmaceutical enterprise in Jiangnan City.
In fact, the funds for many drug research and development projects had not yet been recovered!
For leading pharmaceutical companies in other places, they either leased out the right to use their research and development technology patents at a high price.
Or they would increase the price of medicines.
Even more common was to wait for the patents of some commonly used drugs to expire before seizing the market!
But the Xie family did not follow this path.
They focused on research and development with a steady hand.
"Since we have obtained most of the market in Jiangnan City, we must bear the corresponding responsibility!"
"Grandfather said that wealth obtained through shortcuts cannot be kept no matter how much it is."
Xie Yu said seriously.
This was also the reason why the Xie family, despite not having a deep foundation, could rise to prominence.
It was precisely because the Xie family's character was trustworthy, they had many collaborators.
Even the government had high praise for the Xie family!
"I admire you very much," Zhou Yu said with a smile.
Anyway, Zhou Yu believed that he would never be able to carry this so-called banner.
But that didn't stop Zhou Yu from admiring such people!
After walking around the laboratory.
Zhou Yu planned to immediately start research and development.
Xie Yu had other matters to attend to, so he couldn't accompany him.
When he was leaving, Xie Yu handed his identification card to Zhou Yu.
"Dr. Zhou, please use mine for now. We'll switch when the new identification card is made in a couple of days."
Zhou Yu nodded and did not refuse at all.
As the head of the laboratory.
Zhou Yu couldn't possibly be confined to the research room and never come down, could he?
If he borrowed someone else's, the other person would also feel uncomfortable!
Over the next three days.
Zhou Yu, with the data, began to lead the entire team to tackle the problem with concentration.
All the researchers knew that after the core data was leaked, they had to race against time.
So even though Zhou Yu assigned them heavy tasks, no one dared to complain about being tired.
What's more, Zhou Yu led by example, almost eating and sleeping in the laboratory.
This made everyone even more motivated!
At first.
These researchers had no particular feelings, good or bad, towards Zhou Yu.
They simply didn't reject him because he was the person in charge arranged by Xie Yu.
However, as the research progressed.
Zhou Yu was able to propose effective solutions every time.
Which made all the researchers in the laboratory feel an involuntary sense of admiration!
When three days had passed.
They only then realized.
That the person in charge invited by Director Xie was a true master!
With Zhou Yu overseeing the laboratory, Xie Yu's burden was significantly lightened.
He followed the head of the Xie family and began to rush around, counterattacking the Shi family.
Although they were in different industries.
The Xie family was not a pushover either.
Didn't have related industries?
Then they would buy!
The Xie family directly and forcefully invested in entertainment companies, supporting them from behind, and competing with the Shi family.
The Shi family was already trying to do too many things at once.
Now, they were exhausted by the Xie family!
Xie Yu finally found some time to come to the laboratory.
As soon as he entered.
He saw Zhou Yu injecting the longevity drug into a monkey.
"This... has it succeeded?" Xie Yu almost stumbled and fell.
Zhou Yu responded, "Yes, it has entered the first phase of clinical trials."
First mice, then monkeys.
After the longevity drug was stabilized in the bodies of the mice, it was then given to the monkeys.
And after the monkeys, who were most similar to humans, were stabilized.
It would then move on to the second phase of clinical trials, which would involve healthy humans.
The third phase would involve patients!
"This is too fast," Xie Yu marveled.
He then didn't dare to say more and stood aside quietly watching.
After the monkey was injected with the longevity drug, there were no abnormal reactions.
Its eyes were just more spirited.
About an hour after the injection.
Experimental personnel immediately came to draw blood for testing.
Of course, this was not the only test.
Within forty-eight hours of injection, at least three blood draws were required!
This was to ensure the accuracy of the data.
After Zhou Yu finished his work, he took a break and went to the balcony to talk to Xie Yu.
"Why do you have time to come and see me today?" Zhou Yu asked.
If he wanted to know the progress of the research, he could simply ask Zhou Yu for a report.
Since he came in person, he must have something to discuss!
"Dr. Zhou, if you have time these two days, can you come back?"
"The Shi family has been cornered. Grandfather estimates that the Shi family may consider using martial artists in a few days!"
Xie Yu said earnestly.
This was a case of using force when persuasion failed!
The Shi family was not as dominant as the Xie family in business.
But in terms of martial strength, they were second to none.
Although the Zhu family had sent people to provide escort.
Grandfather Xie was still worried!
If Zhou Yu were to stay at home, they would feel more at ease.
"Yes, it has already entered the first phase of clinical trials. The rest can be done step by step."
"I'll go back tomorrow." Zhou Yu said lightly.
According to the current progress, they had already surpassed the Shi family by an unknown amount!
It was estimated that the longevity drug could be launched half a month ahead of schedule.
