“It's not meaningless, but no one will use it even if it's developed.”
"......"
Dr. Kim made an impression.
“Hey, student. I know what you say is the best Korean medical student at Korea University. Do you know exactly what anemia is? I'm the one who wrote the immune response to anemia as a master's thesis in biology. You don't have to say anything when you're young, so be careful if you don't know. ”
“What exactly is anemia distinguished? Distinguishing all anemia would not be possible with current technology. … . ”
"Our diagnostic kits will be excellent at distinguishing chronic disease anemia among many anemias."
"Distinguish chronic disease anemia?"
“Yes, you don't know, but chronic disease anemia doesn't have a kit for clearly diagnosing anemia in people who have been sick for a long time. Do you know how valuable the potential product is when you first develop these diagnostic kits? ”
“I don't think it's worth it.”
"What?"
Jinhyun asked this time.
“Why do you think that no diagnostic kit has been developed to distinguish anemia so far?”
"that's… Because there was not idea here so far… … . ”
“Do you really think so? Wouldn't the multinational pharmaceutical companies or bio companies really do not think of anything that would cost anything? ”
Dr. Kim shut up.
Jin-hyun said assertively.
“I didn't make it because I don't need it.”
"......"
“Do you know how to diagnose anemia?”
"naturally… … . ”
Dr. Kim's mouth came up with an explanation of the molecular genetic mechanism of anemia and the immune response.
Many complex jargon demonstrated Dr. Kim's deep knack.
But Jin Hyun did not want that answer.
“It's not wrong, but it doesn't make that diagnosis when you see a real patient.”
"then… … ? ”
“You only have one blood test. By checking the usual blood tests and Ferritin levels, which reflect iron storage in the body, most of the major causes of anemia can be identified. ”
Dr. Kim shuffled.
"However… There are many causes for anemia… Thalassemia anemia or… … . ”
From the mouth of Dr. Kim, the rare causes of textbooks hesitated, but Jinhyeon shook his head.
“There are very few such anemia in Korea. The most important causes of anemia can be distinguished by common blood as I said. Iron deficiency anemia can be distinguished by only red blood cell volume (MCV), red blood cell hemoglobin (MCHC), and ferritin, and macrocytic anemia can be distinguished by blood smear. The chronic disease of anemia you mentioned is distinguished between clinical situation and ferritin. And you talked about special anemias, which are not indistinguishable from a diagnostic kit. Rather, it is more accurate and reasonable to add special tests when suspected abnormalities are found on a general blood test. ”
Dr. Kim's face became white.
I do not know the clinician to see the patient, but his anemia was deeper understanding of Jinhyeon was able to understand exactly.
Zhang asked in desperate voice.
"Why don't you use it a lot when diagnostic kits are developed?"
Jinhyun felt sorry for her.
This would not have happened if we had consulted the study design with the anemia doctor before we started development.
“How much is the price when a diagnostic kit is developed? How long does it take to get results? ”
“70,000 won… And three days… … . ”
“General blood tests cost only a few thousand won. Even if you add multiple tests, it's about 20,000 won. The results come out in just a few hours, and no one will use a more expensive and longer diagnostic kit. ”
After Jin-Hyun's words, the president's office was silent.
Chang and Dr. Kim were not shocked.
“Oh, what should I do? I've already invested 150 million… … . ”
It was a pity that President Jang, who had acquaintances in his previous life, was frustrated but could not help it.
Indeed, in his previous life, Mine Bio struggled with the wrong investment in anemia diagnostic kits.
Zhang had talked about the pain at that time many times in his drink.
"Did you develop a lot?"
“No, not yet… It's early. ”
“Then fold it now. That's how we can reduce any damage to our company. ”
"...... !!"
Zhang's face turned dark like a prisoner sentenced to death.
Kim, who was in charge of diagnostic kit research, looks suicidal.
I had to.
Minor Bio, a single mistake, could soon lead to bankruptcy.
“Sin, sorry, boss. I should have considered it first… … . ”
“No. It's my responsibility to ask for ideas. Sigh… … . ”
Mr. Jang still thought to the owner and greeted Jinhyeon.
“Thank you for letting me know the problem before I do more damage. Professor Choi recommended you for a reason. If it weren't for you, it would have been really big for me. ”
Had Jinjin not advised, time would be in time, research staff would fly to the research staff, and would have squeezed 150 million won.
How did the poor Mine Bio take the damage?
In all likelihood, it is likely that you have gone bankrupt.
Of course, I can't just fold the project after listening to Jin-hyun, a young student, so I will consult with a blood specialist.
But Chang did not expect the results of the consultation to be different.
'Genius.'
He suddenly recalled Choi.
Professor Choi was a great student without any explanation of Katabuta, so he asked them to work well.
He understood the word genius.
"Thank you very much."
"no. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. ”
Jinhyun was sorry for the gloomy mood.
So I decided to give a gift to Mine Bio.
"Are there any projects that Mine Bio is researching besides anemia diagnostic kit?"
“It's a RI84 project… Why but that? ”
Jinhyun nodded.
RI84. It was a project that saved Mine Bio, who was in trouble due to the incorrect investment of a diagnostic kit.
Mine Bio was able to lay the foundation of Korea's top bio company with the success of RI84.
But the RI84 project was still in the labyrinth, and Mine Bio wasn't looking for a clue.
“Isn't it a diagnostic study related to inflammation?”
Zhang was surprised.
"No, how is it?"
“I first heard from Professor Choi.”
Jin-hyun looked into President Chang's eyes.
“Can I hear the content of the project?”
“What is your project?”
President Jang was worried for a while and gave Jinhyeon a thick document.
It was a plan and progress report for the RI84 project.
Jinhyeon read papers at a fast pace.
"There is no problem with the enzyme chain reaction, but I'm stuck using ELISA."
Zhang was surprised at what Jinhyun said.
The key to the problem is pinpointed. This is impossible even for senior medical students, or even doctors.
Zhang wondered if Jin-hyun is really a student.
'why… … ? '
He sighed.
“You are right. I've been stuck for a long time and I can't see the answer. ”
Zhang was giving up the RI84 project at heart.
Money went in as money and no solution was seen.
'I tried to make up for the anemia diagnostic kit from the RI84 project. Sigh… … . '
The anemia diagnostic kit did not show any light.
I had no idea what to do with my company.
But then Jinhyeon opened his mouth.
“Isn't it a matter of induction time and purification of protein antigens?”
"......"
Zhang's face changed once again.
It was an accurate point.
"How is that?"
“We can see this by looking at the problem in ELISA.”
Jin Hyun Nazi suggested to President Jang who sees himself as a monster.
“I have an idea for this problem.”
“Is it an idea?”
“I think it can help to solve the problem… Do you have any idea? ”
Zhang nodded hurriedly. The thought of being young was soon gone.
If it could help, so it would be great to be able to succeed on the project.
RI84 is a potential commercial project that is unparalleled to anemia kits. Mine Bio will solve all funding shortfalls and gain wings.
“There is a condition before I speak.”
"Condition?"
“If my advice is helpful for your project, please give it a lift.”
Jinhyun had no intention of helping Mine Bio for free.
What he wants to do now is consulting like technology transfer.
If it is, you have to pay a huge price.
'Of course I can't get paid for my status. I can't give you free. '
“If my advice doesn't help, then you don't have to give any examples.”
Jang, nodded at the end, nodded.
Pointing out the anemia kit's problem and preventing further damage was a huge debt.
And how much would it cost you to save the RI84 project?
“But exactly what does the case say? My company's situation is not good so big money is difficult… … . ”
“I don't need money.”
"then?"
“Please give stock options.”
“… Stock option? ”
"Yes, is it difficult?"
“No, but not like… … . ”
“Instead, if it helps, I will not only give you advice but I will continue to help you until the end of the project.
Chang looked confusingly.
The stock option was the stock the company gave its employees.
However, the value of Mine's bio stock is poor, which is a bit more expensive than waste paper.
“Our stock wouldn't be worth it. … . ”
“I don't want big money anyway. While helping, I want to work as if I were my company. ”
Even though his mouth is not a lie, Jang looks impressed.
“With that heart… Thank you very much. ”
Jin Hyun wrote the contract at all.
Approximately 4% stake. If the RI84 project is successful with his help, the agreement will enable the company to exercise a share worth $ 15 million at this point.
15 million won.
It's big money for students, but if the project is really successful, it's a bargain.
But Jinhyun sang in delight.
His current status and the economic status of Mine Bio couldn't get any bigger money.
Assuming that the value of 15 million won was successful, it was possible to make a contract as a stock option.
Mr. Zhang also stamped the contract with the intention of blowing a check.
He didn't really think the project would succeed with Jin Hyun's help.
'I can't imagine my company's stock will go up 2,600% in 10 years.'
2,600%, an increase of 26 times.
Jin Hyun's not 15 million won, it's like a 400 million contract.
'Anyway, not my help anyway, about a year later, mine bio finds a solution. I don't mind this kind of help. '
