Chapter 2380: Freezing Center

Until the plane took off, Ito Yuhiko still looked a bit unhappy.

Before boarding, Ito Nanako specially took a photo of Ito Yuhiko standing with prosthetic legs in Montsuki Haori Hakama under the plane. After taking it, she had the servants at home carry him onto the plane.

Half an hour after the plane took off, it began to fly steadily. Ito Nanako and her aunt busied themselves with the food and cake they had brought, and celebrated Ito Yuhiko's fiftieth birthday in the air.

Ito Nanako lit the candles for him, finished singing the birthday song, and coaxed him: "Otosan, hurry up and blow out the candles!"

At this time, Ito Nanako didn't notice that her address to her father, Ito Yuhiko, had changed from "Father" to "Otosan".

She even used a slightly reprimanding tone inadvertently several times.

Unexpectedly, this suppressed Ito Yuhiko's original arrogance. After being reprimanded by his precious daughter, he didn't have his original temper, but instead, it was a childlike grievance.

Hearing Ito Nanako ask him to blow out the candles, because Ito Yuhiko was unhappy, he hummed like a child: "I don't want to blow out the candles! A fiftieth birthday is such an important birthday, but it ended up being carried onto a plane to celebrate. It's too sloppy and too perfunctory!"

Ito Nanako smiled and said: "Otosan! Because a fiftieth birthday is important, it's specially celebrated twice! Maybe Ye Chen-kun let us go over just to celebrate your birthday. If you are not satisfied, I will make up for you after we land!"

Ito Yuhiko hummed and said: "Don't lie to me. It's already past seven o'clock. By the time I land, today will be over. How can I celebrate it twice?"

Ito Nanako said seriously: "Otosan, have you forgotten the time difference between Japan and the United States? New York is thirteen hours behind us, but if our flight speed is faster, we will arrive in New York in eleven hours. Don't look at the fact that it's dark when we take off from Japan, but when we land in New York, it won't be dark yet!"

Hearing this, Ito Yuhiko was stunned for a moment, and then said pleasantly: "Yes! How could I forget the time difference!"

Seeing him beaming with joy, Ito Nanako hurriedly said: "So Otosan, hurry up and blow out the candles!"

Ito Yuhiko realized that his expression management had a problem, and hurriedly put on a straight face again: "Do you think I'm willing to be forcibly flown from one end of the earth to the other on my fiftieth birthday?"

Ito Nanako smiled and said: "Alright Otosan, just think of it as accompanying me to New York to see Ye Chen-kun, whom I've been thinking about day and night. If you can make your precious daughter happy, what else are you dissatisfied with?"

Hearing this, Ito Yuhiko was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly beamed with joy. Looking at Ito Nanako, who was wearing a kimono and standing tall, he couldn't help but sigh: "Nanako, Otosan really wants to see you get married sooner..."

At this very moment.

It was 8:30 AM in New York.

Ye Chen called Fei Kexin and said: "Miss Fei, please arrange it. I want to go to the freezing center to see Li Yalin."

Fei Kexin said without thinking: "Okay, Mr. Ye, Kexin will prepare the helicopter and pick you up on the top floor of the hotel within fifteen minutes."

"Good." Ye Chen said: "Then see you later."

"Okay, Mr. Ye, see you later."

Fifteen minutes later, the helicopter Fei Kexin was riding in landed on the top floor of the Buckingham Palace Hotel.

Ye Chen took Su Ruoli, Chen Zekai, and Hong Wu and boarded the helicopter.

Half an hour later, the helicopter flew over a remote building in the suburbs of New York.

This was the Fei family's medical technology center.

This building was the only high-rise building within a radius of two kilometers, twenty-five stories high, and the surroundings were heavily guarded.

As soon as they got off the helicopter, Fei Kexin took the lead and walked in front, while introducing to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, this is a medical technology center established by my grandfather before. It is mainly for R&D and testing of some high-end and advanced treatment methods and drugs, including the most advanced proton therapy system in the cancer field, cell immunotherapy, all of which are available here, and they are all the best in the world."

At this time, Fei Kexin remembered something and added: "Oh, by the way, Mr. Ye, you should have heard of the Mayo Clinic, right? It is known as the world's top cancer specialist hospital."

"I've heard of it." Ye Chen nodded and said: "Mayo is well-known all over the world, and there should be very few people who don't know it."

Fei Kexin smiled slightly and said: "More than 60% of our cancer team members overlap with Mayo, and their top experts also serve here. Even in cutting-edge scientific research, we go further than Mayo. After all, Mayo itself has to consider profitability, but here, profitability is not considered."

As she spoke, Fei Kexin added: "In addition, there is the top organ transplant center in the United States, the top cancer diagnosis and treatment team, the top cardiovascular and cerebrovascular and anti-aging research team. Our freezing center is on the fifth floor underground and is designed to operate for three hundred years. Grandfather said before that if he passed away, he would be sent here to be frozen immediately, leaving a glimmer of hope for the future. Perhaps the technology two or three hundred years later can bring him back to life."

Ye Chen nodded and sighed: "It seems that maintaining such a medical research institution costs the Fei family a lot of money every year."

Fei Kexin sighed: "At least one billion US dollars a year, and there have been times when it burned two or three billion US dollars a year at its peak."

Speaking of this, Fei Kexin added: "However, although it doesn't pursue profitability, it does indeed have profitability. Some effective scientific research results can be well commercialized and create considerable profits. Currently, more than 70% of the costs here can be recovered. The medical industry is like this. Although the investment cost is very high, once a top-tier special drug or a very good new treatment method is developed, earning ten or twenty billion US dollars a year is not difficult. If you bet on the right single product, you might turn losses into profits."

Ye Chen agreed: "In the medical industry, the most feared thing is not being willing to invest in R&D costs. Some pharmaceutical companies have been sitting on a few drugs for years or even decades, making it difficult to make any social contributions. It is still necessary to invest a lot of money in R&D to benefit society."

Fei Kexin nodded and said seriously: "Mr. Ye is right. For the medical industry, R&D is very important. So after I took over the Fei family, I didn't reduce the budget here, but added a 30% to 50% flexible budget on the original basis."

The two chatted and arrived at the elevator entrance on the top floor.

At this time, the elevator just came up. When the door opened, three men walked out. One of the men recognized Ye Chen at a glance, and immediately said to Ye Chen excitedly: "Mr. Ye! My God! It's really you, Mr. Ye!"

Ye Chen frowned and looked at the man who spoke. Only then did he realize in surprise that this man was James Smith, the person in charge of the US FDA whom he had dealt with before! ===== CHAPTER 2381 =====
