“Ahem, let me clarify. This isn’t a drink – it’s a type of healthy food that can allow you to lose weight,” Jiang Chen reminded Zhan Shujie.

It was disrespectful to call the era-breaking liquid food a drink. This was the standard military food in the 22nd century. Not only was it used in the military, the liquid food was also used extensively in the aeros.p.a.ce field. To bring as much food as possible within the allocated s.p.a.ce, the nutrient supply was undoubtedly the first choice for all astronauts…

Of course, Jiang Chen didn’t deny the ridicule of Zhan Shujie stating it was a waste of G.o.d-given technology. Regardless, right now, he only planned to sell this as weight loss medicine.

“Is there a difference?” Zhan Youjie stared at Jiang Chen emotionally. His persona as a non-talkative researcher faded as he almost spoke to Jiang Chen with a lecturing tone, “Let’s disregard everything else. Just the seaweed cell directed differentiation technology – do you know how it would shake up the scientific field? Without any exaggeration, it would cause an earthquake in the biology academic world!”

Zhan Shujie let out a sigh. “And that molecular filter. While I’m not studying organic chemistry, I can’t say much but I can be certain of one point – if our university lab had this, our ability to research in the chemistry field would increase substantially!”

“So?” Jiang Chen said emotionlessly.

Zhan Shujie was dumbfounded before he realized.

Even though he said that much, so what?

It belonged to him, and if the Xin government permitted the technology to exist in a private establishment’s hands, everyone could take the technology away from him.

“I’m only a businessman, and you are my employee. You just need to remember this point. Since this technology belongs to me, I have the rights to decide where I should use it,” Jiang Chen said nonchalantly.

If the technology became public, it would undoubtedly cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, in terms of production, Jiang Chen planned to keep the technology low-key. From the outside, the plant was only growing a type of Sarga.s.sum, and the pharmaceutical plant would process the Sarga.s.sum.

“Yes,” Zhan Shujie said helplessly.

Considering how disappointed Zhan Shujie looked, Jiang Chen walked up and patted him on the shoulder.

“Don’t be disappointed; if you work diligently, maybe I will permit you to learn more about the top technology.”

“Hopefully, one day that will happen… If I want to study the structure of the DH seaweed cell, would you mind?” Zhan Shujie looked at Jiang Chen keenly.

“Of course not. I’ll even sponsor you to build a lab here. Of course, this is on the condition that you follow the rules of the company and not take a single cell out of that door.” Although he used a joking tone to say these words, he didn’t look like he was joking at all.

The two soldiers at the door were there to prevent thieves, both inside and outside.

“Don’t worry, I’m only curious about how plant cells produce animal proteins. I can guarantee with my morale that I won’t disclose what I see to any third parties,” Zhan Shujie said.

“I trust you.”

Jiang Chen had no qualms about allowing Zhan Shujie to study it since it was impossible to reproduce it with current technological capabilities. Just like how no matter how much you observed the cells inside you, you could not produce them at will.

“Thank you. If I can’t understand how it works, I might even lose sleep at night.” Zhan Shujie looked at Jiang Chen graciously.

“Don’t worry, I hope you can sleep well at night… Also, don’t research during work hours.”

“I will do it outside of work.”

Jiang Chen nodded, pleased. He hired people to work for him, not research the technology he possessed. Of course, if Doctor Zhan could achieve some inspiration from the research, it would still be beneficial to Jiang Chen. Since he signed the confidentiality agreement, Jiang Chen would not let him walk.

After he took Zhan Shujie to the seaside mansion he would be living in, Jiang Chen spoke a few more words before he left.

Currently, Future Biology was only an empty sh.e.l.l. Although the pharmaceutical plant was completed, the team responsible for marketing, strategy, and management had yet to be established. All this had to be finished. Although he could contract the work out to headhunters, he wanted to hire the individuals personally.

Of course, if he left the work to Xia s.h.i.+yu, he knew she would take it. But it wasn’t nice, especially since she had a lot on her plate already with Future Technology. If he gave her something entirely unrelated to a tech company, he was afraid that she might be overworked.
