Tang Shun quickly took notes, feeling shocked. The breadth, depth, and sincerity of this proposal far exceeded expectations. The Giant Group not only wants products, but also to integrate into the core circle of theoretical systems, and even jointly define the future.
Huang Jiacai was silent for a mont and then asked the third question, which was his most concerned question: "So, what about the leadership and control of the theory? In the cooperation you envision, who defines the direction of the developnt of systemic regulation theory?"
This question made the air in the room freeze.
Legal consultant David Lee spoke for the first ti, his voice steady and professional: "Mr. Huang, in terms of legal and comrcial practices, such deep cooperation typically requires the establishnt of a joint venture entity and setting up a board for joint decision-making. But Mr. Li Gaoyang has special instructions..."
Li Gaoyang raised his hand and interrupted the consultant. He looked directly at Huang Jiacai and said word by word:
"The leadership and control of the theory must, and can only belong to its creators and deepest understanders—naly Professor Yang and his core team. This is a cornerstone of cooperation that is non-negotiable."
Leaning forward, he spoke with utmost seriousness: "We do not want, nor are we capable of leading a scientific revolution that we do not yet fully understand. What we want to do is empower and accelerate. Just like the best venture capitalists, they do not interfere with the specific research of genius scientists, but provide resources, clear obstacles, and help turn great ideas into products that change the world. To put it bluntly, we only want to invest my resources, and in the end hope to share this market."
"Therefore, we propose to establish an independent ’Global Developnt Committee of Systemic dicine’, with Professor Yang as the lifelong chairman. The committee will be responsible for formulating the theory developnt roadmap, reviewing all cooperative research and developnt projects, supervising the quality of the training certification system, and having the final adjudication and veto power over any abuse or misinterpretation of the theory. The Giant Group will act as the founding mber and main executing partner of the committee, but the structure of the committee will ensure the independence and purity of academia."
Elena added: "We can design the specific legal frawork into a principal-agent model, entrusting key decision-making powers in a legally binding manner to this committee led by you. We will ensure its effectiveness under the major global legal systems."
Huang Jiacai leaned back into the sofa, falling into long contemplation. Outside the window, the lights of Marina Bay began to twinkle, and the ships on the sea marked white trails.
Li Gaoyang’s proposal was bold to the point of being naive, yet so realistic that it was flawless. He was not just seeking cooperation, but was trying to construct a new type of industry-academia-research relationship: Capital completely acknowledges and respects the core leadership of scientific innovation, willingly playing the role of supporter and service provider, in exchange for the opportunity to participate in the future and share long-term rewards.
This requires imnse foresight, courage, and self-restraint.
Actually, Huang Jiacai understood there was a reason Li Gaoyang acted this way; he had already experienced Professor Yang’s Dinsionality Reduction in technology, and also witnessed Ruixing’s true strength. In the face of absolute power, any conspiracy or intrigue is futile and will ultimately backfire.
"Why?" Huang Jiacai still asked, "Why choose this thod? The Giant Group could completely rely on capital strength, try to duplicate, imitate, or even acquire. Many historical companies have done so."
Li Gaoyang smiled, the smile contained both vicissitudes and insight: "Because we have tried already, but it’s all in vain, and we don’t want to waste more ti and funds. Mr. Huang, we have crossed paths twice before, and both tis we failed. From a pragmatic principle, we do not want a third failure."
He paused, his voice growing somber: "More importantly, I experienced near-death and then was brought back by this theory. This has changed my views on life, dicine, and the aning of business. The success of business should ultimately serve greater goals. And leading human dicine into the systemic era is a goal great enough. I hope that during my tenure at the Giant Group, we can complete this transformation. This might be the most valuable legacy I can leave."
"Lastly, I would like to borrow a famous Chinese saying: ’The affairs of the world are mighty and boundless...’
This speech intertwined gratitude from the patient, the ambition of the entrepreneur, and a reconsideration of the aning of life, forced by reality’s helplessness, forming a complex yet credible motive.
The eting lasted four hours. The two sides engaged in deep, even intense discussions on frawork principles, potential risks, and bottom-line matters. Huang Jiacai’s caution and principle, Li Gaoyang’s pragmatism and vision, gradually shaped an outline of mutual understanding through their collision.
In the end, no docunts were signed, but a crucial verbal understanding was reached: both parties would form teams to draft a detailed ’Intent Frawork of Global Strategic Cooperation’ within three months based on the principles discussed tonight. anwhile, the Giant Group will first undertake a series of ’good faith actions’, including publicly sharing more supportive data, withdrawing support from certain contentious regulatory proposals, and utilizing its influence to facilitate pragmatic dialogues between other pharmaceutical companies and regulatory bodies.
Upon departure, Li Gaoyang again held Huang Jiacai’s hand: "Mr. Huang, I know trust takes ti to build. We won’t rush it. We will prove with actions that the Giant Group is a trustworthy and pragmatic partner, not just another capitalist attempting to control science."
