Chapter 447

"Mr. Williams, the main problem now is that the DNA analysis reports we send to users are diagnostic, which leads to the suicide of some people with poor psychological endurance. Therefore, if we delete this part, the US government should be able to lift the ban! Of course, if we do, the appeal of DNA analysis report will be reduced, so we need to add something interesting to DNA analysis report. "

The speaker is a tall woman with blonde hair and blue eyes. Her name is Julie Ricardo. She is about 35 years old. She has a doctor's degree from Cambridge University and is the female director of the gene umbrella life science department. She is mainly responsible for the research and development of the chip gene sequencer.

"Julie is right. The disease diagnostic report can be deleted," Henry said with a smile. "If users really want to know, they can only go to the local hospital to apply. After the application is passed, we will send the disease diagnostic report to the hospital, and then the medical students will guide the users to carry out scientific and reasonable treatment!"

When Henry finished, everyone nodded. First, it can bring profits to the hospital, and the hospital is definitely willing to cooperate, which is a win-win situation, and it can also promote the drug of gene umbrella; Secondly, with the guidance of doctors, users can avoid the occurrence of tragedy due to excessive psychological pressure after seeing the diagnosis report.

"Of course, we have to add new features to attract users," Henry said with a smile as he looked at Julie Ricardo

Julie Ricardo stroked her gold rimmed glasses and nodded: "at present, the DNA analysis report is mainly composed of two parts, one is diagnostic risk assessment of disease, the other is diagnostic risk assessment of disease; The other part is seeking relatives according to gene similarity. I think these two points alone are too simple. We can add more content into it, and then increase the attractiveness of gene sequencing services! "

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Julie Ricardo organized a speech and said, "for example, to carry out genetic testing service and limit its content, relatively speaking, it should be genetic diseases with clear causality, mainly referring to non-medical characteristics, such as freckles, curly hair, lactose intolerance, etc. if there is a risk of genetic diseases, we will delete them, So as not to increase the psychological pressure of users. In addition, it can also provide ancestor analysis service to infer where the ancestral component of the user comes from, and the user is a mixture of several countries, and give the result in the form of percentage! "

Hearing this, people began to think about whether the idea of "ancestor analysis" is good, but how to realize it?

The meeting room suddenly became quiet.

Julie Ricardo said at this time: "the function of" ancestor analysis "is indeed difficult, but it is not impossible to realize. First of all, we need to establish a reference data set, invite users to fill in ancestral information, including their birthplace, parents' birthplace, grandparents' birthplace and other information, and then establish a more accurate reference data set through statistical methods and combined with users' gene samples. "

Julie Ricardo laughs: "as the number of people increases, the more accurate the reference data set will be. Then, the SNP site comparison of the gene can infer where the user's lineage comes from! As we all know, SNP refers to the variation on a single base, and there is one SNP for every 1000 bases. For people of the same lineage, the probability of the same position of SNP variation is very high. Assuming that the pure Chinese are mutated in A1, B3 and C5, as long as the SNP sites of the user are also detected in A1, B3 and C5, it is certain that he is a pure Chinese. "

make love!

When Julie Ricardo finished, Henry clapped first, followed by the others.

"Good, very good!" Henry couldn't help praising.

"Thank you, Mr. Williams. Just a little bit of a problem. If gene umbrella wants to launch these functions, it needs to accumulate users and establish reference data sets, so it has to wait for a while! " Said Julie Ricardo.

"It will take some time to solve the ban, just in the meantime, invite users to fill in Zuyuan information!" Henry exclaimed, "Julie Ricardo, I'll take care of this for you!"

"Yes, Mr. Williams!"

"Well, that's it. From the government side, I'll send someone to communicate. Let's break up! "

"Yes

……

There is only one case of suicide due to DNA analysis report, but many people are over treated due to excessive psychological pressure. Media reporters are really idle egg pain, special tracking reports, create panic. Gene umbrella is on the cusp of the storm at the moment. At this time, it is almost impossible for Henry to lobby the US government to lift the ban.

The U.S. President implicitly told Henry that the U.S. government will consider lifting the ban only after the news has passed.

OK, let's talk about it after the wind.

Henry put down the phone, picked up the cat poop coffee on the table and drank it down.

……

On October 1, Nicholas international e-commerce began to hold the "10.1" global shopping carnival. Just like the first session, Nicholas international e-commerce company was a great success, with sales exceeding 25 billion US dollars. It was a great shock!

Media said that Nicholas international e-commerce as a company, but redefined a festival, since the founding of the United States, never!

October 1st is also the first anniversary of Henry's wedding. So Henry took Kalina, Helen and Princess Ulysses to Las Vegas for a visit.

Las Vegas ranks first among the four major gambling cities in the world. It is a world-famous resort city for tourism, shopping and vacation centering on the gambling industry. It has the reputation of "entertainment capital of the world" and "wedding capital of the world". It is the honeymoon destination chosen by the most newlyweds in the world.

Henry and others chose MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, which is located in MGM Plaza, the largest casino in Las Vegas. Here, you can imagine all kinds of entertainment and leisure facilities!

In addition, Henry chose this hotel, of course, there are other things.

MGM Plaza and MGM hotel are both called MGM, which is obviously related to the famous MGM film company in Hollywood.

In 1969, millionaires Corleone bought MGM. After he took over the company, MGM began to decline. Because he didn't want to run MGM, he began to sell all kinds of properties, armed props, studios and so on, and invested in the real estate business of Las Vegas.

In 1986, cochrian sold MGM to Ted Turner for $1.45 billion. Ted Turner is an American media tycoon who sold MGM to Henry Turner Broadcasting Company. Within three months, however, Ted Turner sold most of his shares back to cochrian. Cochrian didn't want MGM movies at all, and then he was going to sell the company to someone else. However, because the other party was accused of fraud, it was not sold. Now, MGM is still in the hands of cochrian, holding 80%.

MGM film company has come to a low ebb. It used to be extremely brilliant. It's the first film company in Hollywood. Now it has to rent the studio of other companies to make a film. It's really sad.

One of Henry's purposes here is to buy MGM pictures. As the saying goes, a thin camel is bigger than a horse. MGM film company still has three big fortunes. First, it has the largest film database in the world and holds more than 4000 film copyrights, including many famous films, such as 007 series, gone with the wind and so on; Second, it has the right of distribution all over the world; Third, there are more than 100 Academy Awards, ranking first in the world.

When Henry's private plane arrived at Las Vegas Airport, cochrian had sent more than a dozen luxury hotel cars to meet him.

"Mr. and Mrs. Williams, welcome to Las Vegas!"
