Chapter 1071 - 1033: Taking a Step Back
As for the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, also known as the medical prize commonly referred to by our countrymen, Lin Jie knows a thing or two about its selection process.This award is selected by the Nobel Assembly of the Swedish Karolinska Institute.
The assembly first appoints a working committee, the Nobel Committee (Nobel Committee), to handle the preliminary work.
The Nobel Committee invites renowned representatives in the field of physiology and medicine to nominate award candidates.
The nomination deadline is February 1st each year.
Afterwards, the Nobel Committee conducts a preliminary screening of the nominees and then submits the final candidates to the Nobel Assembly.
The Nobel Assembly discusses and votes on the achievements of the candidates, ultimately deciding the winner, and formally announcing it to the public.
This usually takes place in October each year.
The front of the Nobel Prize medal for physiology is inscribed with a profile portrait of Nobel, with his birth and death year (in Roman numerals) on the right side, and his signature "E.LINDBERG 1902" in the lower left corner.
The back of the medal features an image of Hygieia, the goddess of health from Ancient Greek mythology, collecting spring water from rocks to quench the thirst of a sick girl.
The medal also bears a Latin phrase, meaning in Chinese, "new discoveries make life better."
The medal is awarded at 4:30 p.m. on December 10th, Nobel's death anniversary, at the Stockholm Concert Hall.
As for Cai Yun specifically mentioning this news, Lin Jie naturally understands its implication.
That is, a single word: operation.
Consider Maxwell, who in pursuit of the Jackson Medical Award, deliberately incited a sensational medical skill competition with Lin Jie, gaining tremendous attention and eventually winning the award as he wished.
And the higher-profile Nobel Prize selection has already become a fame and fortune game, intermixed with numerous external factors, no longer solely a contest of personal achievements.
However, regarding the operation of winning the award, Lin Jie internally feels a subtle resistance.
He feels this tarnishes his medical achievements.
At this moment, a slightly sardonic voice of Shen Lanruo resounded in Lin Jie's mind, "Ah Jie, your thinking is as if the Nobel Prize is within easy reach, and if they don't give it to you, they're failing everyone in the world."
"Ah Jie, you need to understand one thing, even if you produce research results of Nobel-level significance, how will you ensure all the committee members definitively know the importance of your research outcomes, surpassing other candidates of the same period?"
This remark caused Lin Jie to pause.
Every year's Nobel laureates, are their achievements truly more outstanding than other candidates?
Not necessarily.
In many research fields, the measurement and comparison between different outcomes, due to a lack of time's test, are truly hard to quantify and can only be subjectively assessed.
Personally, Lin Jie believes last year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine winner's research outcomes weren't as significant as another candidate from Germany.
At Lin Jie's ear, Cai Yun's voice echoed, "Expert Lin, my uncle once said that based on your medical achievements, as long as you stay on course, you're very likely to win the Nobel Prize."
Cai Yun continued, "My uncle always taught us to be prepared, to be forewarned, to plan carefully, or else you will fail."
"Some things, when prepared early, don't require enormous input, just need a mindful operation, eventually when needed, as long as one reaches a certain level, the result would naturally follow."
Lin Jie nodded in agreement, chuckled, "Thank you for your message and valuable advice, I will have someone keep an eye on this matter."
Seeing the other party accepting his reminder, Cai Yun did not say more about this and switched topics to discuss generic drugs and pharmaceutical research...
Today, An Kexin returned somewhat late, not arriving until halfway through dinner.
She sat down beside Lin Jie, drank a bowl of fish soup, let out a satisfied sigh, and explained, "I just returned from the city government, where I explained in detail some questions the leaders had about the Anlin Garden project."
Fu Xiuyuan inquired with concern, "Did the government give any statement?"
An Kexin, genuinely hungry, gulped down a few bites before responding, "Several leaders expressed support for the project."
"However, they had some questions about the project's financing, marketing positioning, and operational issues."
"Especially, there were doubts about the one thousand two hundred mu of land scale."
The Anlin Garden Binhai project, although the pledged funds exceed fourteen billion, with such amount, wanting to acquire the one thousand two hundred mu of Phoenix Mountain District at commercial land prices is insufficient, even if most of it consists of hilly terrain.
Therefore, this project requires strong government support for policy-based preferential land allocations.
"I offered one explanation that among this one thousand two hundred mu, four hundred mu, or even six hundred mu, is actually reserved for Anlin Hospital's development."
An Kexin proudly said, "Anlin Hospital's development goal is to become a world-renowned medical research center within five to ten years."
"However, now constrained by financial limitations and manpower resources, Anlin Hospital has to start from its current scale and develop and expand step by step."
"With the rise of Lin Jie's reputation and the guidance of more and more high-level doctors, Anlin Hospital's scale expansion is certain..."
Listening to An Kexin boasting, Cai Yun, Lulu and others listened intently, while Lin Jie felt his face burning, bowed down silently to eat.
Pretend that the things she mentioned have nothing to do with him at all.
"Hey, Ah Jie..."
An Kexin lightly nudged Lin Jie's shoulder, asked proudly, "Do you know who came in after I finished my answer?"
"Who?" Lin Jie cooperatively inquired.
An Kexin glanced around the dining table, raising her voice a notch, "The secretary and the mayor came together."
"The secretary said he was deeply touched after hearing the plan for Anlin Hospital."
"The medical standard in our country does have a certain gap compared to the international level, but we in Binhai have an Expert Lin, someone who can create miracles, attracting foreign patients and being a world-class medical expert."
An Kexin, with a stern face, mimicked the secretary's manner, gesturing as she continued, "The secretary also marveled that the planning and positioning of the Phoenix Mountain District is primarily focused on medical health and research industry, striving to become a national center for medical treatment and research."
"But Anlin Hospital's goal is obviously grander than the government's; it aims to become a world-renowned medical research center."
"For this goal, we must vigorously support it within the policy scope,"
"The secretary jokingly said in the end that the goal of Anlin Hospital as a world medical center might accidentally be realized."
"With the Child of Miracles, Expert Lin, anything is possible..."
As soon as An Kexin finished speaking, another sentence popped up, "There should be applause here..."
The people in the restaurant all clapped their hands, and Lu Kaicheng even whistled.
This made Lin Jie feel quite embarrassed, giving the instigator, Chen Qiuhua, a glare, and waved, "Alright, everyone, stop it."
"Kexin is exaggerating. The secretary is just using this opportunity to raise our prestige and get us to work harder."
"Don't take it too seriously."
Chen Qiuhua stood up and said earnestly, "President An is not bragging, nor is the secretary fooling."
"Think about it carefully, a world-renowned medical research center is indeed possible."
"Lin Jie, just look at the research project in your hands. Once there are gratifying results, it would undoubtedly take the world by storm. By then, cancer patients and oncology experts from all over the world would come to us by reputation."
"To put it bluntly, at that time, Anlin Hospital would already be a world-renowned cancer research center."
"When you think about it, this goal is within arm's reach."
These words made Lin Jie himself feel somewhat moved.
He gestured for Chen Qiuhua to sit down, suppressing the fantasies in his mind, and said, "Don't get excited, to be honest with you, there hasn't been much progress in this research project yet."
"Let's just say, it's a long and difficult journey."
Chen Qiuhua spoke again, "Lin Jie, this project will definitely succeed, because you've never failed."
Lin Jie said with a somewhat helpless tone, "Your confidence in me surpasses even my confidence in myself."
"Of course, because you are Lin Jie."
"Indeed, there's no illness you can't cure!"
"A successful person will inevitably achieve success after success."
Faced with this kind of unprincipled flattery, Lin Jie was completely speechless.
"Oh, Lin Jie, my work at the City Hospital has been arranged, I can start working with you tomorrow."
Hearing this, Lin Jie glanced at Du Feixue sitting beside him and smiled, "Chen Qiuhua, aren't you thinking about taking a few days off to spend more time with the people around you?"
Chen Qiuhua just waved his hand, speaking with excitement, "The eagerness is overwhelming, I can't wait."
"Just the thought of joining such a world-shaking research project is thrilling."
Seeing Du Feixue widening her eyes in displeasure, Lin Jie held back a laugh, "In that case, come to the Affiliated Hospital tomorrow; mainly focus on monitoring and maintaining the patients' heart functions."
He then looked at Yao Siyuan and asked, "How's it going with Dr. Guan?"
Having resigned from Donghua Hospital, Yao Siyuan, apart from looking after Bennett, the cosmetic surgery patient for Lin Jie, was also arranged by Lin Jie to work as an assistant with Guan Yifan in the cosmetic surgery department.
Yao Siyuan softly said, "Dr. Guan has been very good to me, not holding back at all, and I've learned a lot of useful knowledge and skills from several surgeries with him..."
After dinner, everyone moved to the living room and other places, entering a mode of casual chat and banter.
Just as it turned 8 o'clock, Lin Jie received a call from Gao Yanhong.
"Teacher, the parents of Zhong Xishan and the woman involved came to plead with me."
"I... I..."
Hearing this, Lin Jie understood her meaning and asked, "You want to let it go?"
"Watching an elderly couple in their fifties or sixties plead with me in low voices, and that woman showing a video of her five-year-old son singing and performing to plead... Teacher, I really find it hard to be heartless."
"Teacher, why don't we just let it go? I don't want this matter to destroy that woman's family."
Women are really soft-hearted.
Lin Jie sighed inwardly, paused, and said, "This matter can't be easily let go."
"However, we can take a step back and settle this matter."
"I will let the lawyer handle this."
"At the same time, I will have the lawyer warn them not to bother you again..."
