Professor Ren picked up Li Kai’s call and was about to persuade him when Li Kai said, “Professor Ren, I need your help with my research.”
When Professor Ren heard this, he asked, “Xiao Li, how can I help you?”
Li Kai explained, “Professor Ren, didn’t I ask you for some seeds of Donasi Plant Root previously? I’ve been researching and cultivating these past few days, and there are already many seedlings that can be cut and transplanted, but I don’t have any experience in this area, so I want to ask Professor Ren for help.”
Professor Ren was clearly stunned when he heard Li Kai’s words.
What had he heard?

Did Xiao Li say that he had cultivated a lot of Donasi Plant Roots?
A lot?
It couldn’t be, could it?
Professor Ren hurriedly asked, “Xiao Li, are you talking about the Donasi Plant Root?”
After the department paid the price to get those Donasi Plant Root seeds, there were many research experiments at first, but the results were not good.
He had once successfully cultivated five seedlings, but when he cut and transplanted them, all the transplanted seedlings died.
This medicinal herb was too special.
If it was not cut and transplanted, the nodules would not be able to produce seeds like a man being ligated. Only by cutting and transplanting, and each nodule becoming an independent individual, could the seeds be condensed.
Wild ones could only wait for a stalk to wither before their roots naturally rotted, leaving a knot in the center to germinate and grow before they could condense seeds.
Because of this, coupled with the harsh growth environment, it was almost extinct.
The few seedlings their department had produced previously had also failed at cutting and transplanting.
Because there were limited seeds, the research in this area had to be planned.
Now, Xiao Li had cultivated a lot alone?
Could the other party really be that kind of genius?
Li Kai’s voice came again. “Professor Ren, it’s the Donasi Plant Root.”
When Professor Ren received confirmation, he hurriedly asked, “Xiao Li, did you say that you cultivated a lot? How many seedlings have you cultivated?”
Li Kai replied, “There are more than 20 seedlings in total.”
“So many!” Professor Ren was really surprised. At this moment, he could not care less about persuading Li Kai. He immediately said, “Xiao Li, you must take good care of those seedlings. I’ll fly to Qinglin Villa immediately.”
Xiao Li had really given him a huge surprise.
After hanging up, Professor Ren entered the conference room and said to an assistant inside, “Xiao Yu, book a flight to Ming City. Come with me to Ming City. The others can continue to study the denaturation elements in the Qinglin Medicine Wine.”
Soon, Professor Ren boarded the plane to Ming City with a box.
On the plane.
Professor Ren began to calculate silently.
The Donasi Plant Root could replace the main ingredient in the SMA treatment medicine.
Once that problem was resolved, the other drugs in the formula could also be tried with cheaper drugs of the same effect.
Then this was not a patent that belonged to the foreign pharmaceutical group.
The reason why SMA therapeutic drugs were expensive, other than the cost of the herbs themselves, was mainly the expensive scientific research cost and time of that pharmaceutical group.
The cost of the pharmaceutical company’s research on this medicine was hundreds of millions.
If the cost of this experiment was placed on those large-scale illnesses, it would be nothing. The patients would only have to bear dozens or hundreds of yuan.
However, when the cost was placed on the rare small group illness, an injection of 700,000 yuan appeared.
If they used this method of cracking in lieu of medicine, not only could they avoid foreign patents, but there was also no research cost. The only thing left was the price of the herbs themselves.
After trying a match with a cheaper drug of the same effect, this SMA drug should be able to be reduced from 700,000 yuan a shot to about 10,000 yuan.
In the same 20 injections, the price decreased from 14 million to about 200,000 yuan.
If they entered health insurance again, it might be cheaper for the people.
What did that mean?
Despair turned to hope.
A terminal illness became a disease that everyone could cure.
Once successful, it could cause a sensation.
Naturally, this would also seriously harm the interests of foreign pharmaceutical groups. However, compared to the interests of their compatriots, the interests of foreign pharmaceutical groups were nothing.
However, this was the expected premise that those Donasi Plant Roots could be cut and transplanted successfully.
...
This time, Professor Ren was welcomed by Qin Lin and Li Kai.
When Qin Lin saw Professor Ren get out of the car, he immediately went forward to welcome him. “Professor Ren, we meet again. I’ll arrange a place for you to rest first.”
“Boss Qin, let’s go take a look at those Donasi Plant Roots first,” Professor Ren said anxiously.
How could he be in the mood to rest at this time? His entire body and mind had long flown to the Donasi Plant Root.
Li Kai could understand Professor Ren’s feelings. He smiled and said, “Brother Qin, then we’ll accompany Professor Ren to see the Donasi Plant Root first.”
As a researcher, it couldn’t be more attractive now.
Qin Lin nodded.
The two of them brought Professor Ren into the villa, but they did not go to the original hall. Instead, they went to the area where the new watermelon was planted and arrived at one of the circled fields.
He could see more than a dozen large pots in the field. Each pot was filled with soil dug from the ground in the backyard of the original hall. There was also an entire Donasi Plant Root seedling transplanted into the pots.
