Silicon Valley

Despite the expensive gene sequencing cost of US$10,000, within a week of the Gene Umbrella launch, there are as many as 1 million registered users on the Gene Umbrella official website worldwide, of which about 150,000 are willing to place orders. Most of these people are wealthy rich people! Others are looking for relatives.

In any case, the personal gene sequencing service launched by the gene umbrella is very popular. With $1.5 billion in revenue in a week, it was a huge hit.

Gene biology concept stocks became popular in an instant and were wildly sought after by investors.

Gene Umbrella is not a public company, but the stocks of many listed biotech companies have soared, especially those involved in gene sequencing. In fact, investors are already blindly pursuing it. There are gene umbrella companies, and other gene sequencing companies are completely beaten.

Moreover, Gene Umbrella controls the production of chip gene sequencers, which is equivalent to controlling the entire market, unless other companies can produce products that can compete with chip gene sequencers in a very short period of time. However, this is very unlikely!

The chip gene sequencer involves the most cutting-edge technology. Even if other companies know how to use chips for gene sequencing, the technology and craftsmanship are not up to the level, and the products produced are of poor quality, low efficiency, expensive and uncompetitive! Such a thing is useless other than a waste of money.

Obviously, there are already Gene Umbrella's chip gene sequencers on the market, who would be willing to buy products that are more than N times worse.

These gene-sequencing companies can only survive and thrive by purchasing instruments from the gene umbrella. Of course, if it weren't for the existence of anti-monopoly laws, Henry would have to consider whether to sell to them! The manufacturing cost of a chip gene sequencer is 200,000 US dollars, but Henry felt that he had to sell one for 2 million US dollars. You see, the efficiency of a chip gene sequencer is 2,000 times that of an optical gene sequencer, and 1 set tops 2,000 sets. Is it too cheap for them?

Of course, almost ten times the price of the product is a little bit crazy, but... isn't that just the huge reward a monopoly deserves?

Anyway, Henry doesn't care, they like to buy it or not, and the poor hanging silk research institutions or companies can't afford it, so they leave as soon as possible. This industry has no money and can't afford it, so it saves time.

...

As time passed, more and more people placed orders, and the Gene Umbrella company was almost overwhelmed. Some users’ orders had to wait for three months before they could issue DNA analysis reports.

Here, the Gene Umbrella Company sings its triumphant song, and other companies have only envy, jealousy and hatred.

But, after a month, problems began to appear.

Because the DNA analysis report contains the diagnostic probability of having a certain disease, when the user sees this, he finds that he has a high probability of having a certain cancer, so he is worried all day, his life is full of gray, and his life becomes negative !

This phenomenon is not one or two, but many.

Soon, the U.S. government intervened, and in response to this situation, the personal gene sequencing service of Gene Umbrella was immediately suspended!

"Mr. Williams, that's what happened!" A young female secretary respectfully stood aside and said slowly.

Henry frowned and snuffed out the cigarette in his hand. "Inform Professor Thomson that I will resolve this matter as soon as possible, but the work of gene sequencing cannot be stopped. Before, the hospital did not collect blood from many patients, select a part, conduct gene sequencing, and then store it in the DNA database."

"Okay!" After finishing speaking, the female secretary turned to leave.

Henry picked up the phone at this time and began to contact the US government contacts.

Just the day after the personal genetic sequencing service was suspended, a suicide case occurred in New York, USA. The deceased was a user of a personal gene sequencing service. Before committing suicide, he left a suicide note. The content on it roughly stated that since he learned about the probability of his cancer incidence, he has been restless all day and can't sleep at night. Almost mentally broken. So, unable to bear the torture, he finally decided to die.

This case caused a huge storm, and the United States was in an uproar!

For a time, the voices of condemnation of the genetic umbrella continued one after another.

Various "bulls, horses and snakes" have come out to accuse Gene Umbrella, the media is also fanning the flames, and companies that are jealous of Gene Umbrella's monopoly have also begun to step on it, making Gene Umbrella like a target of public criticism!

Henry answered the phone while enjoying a very delicious dinner with his wives. However, when he heard the news, his expression changed, and the knife in his hand suddenly hung in the air. "How can the psychological endurance be so poor?!!" Henry was stunned, then fell silent for a while, and said, "Okay, I know about this, the soldiers will block the water and cover up. First, arrange for the Gene Umbrella Company to publicly apologize, and Compensate the victim's family with a sum of money!" After speaking, he hung up the phone.

"What's wrong?" Kelina asked suspiciously, and both Helen and Princess Ulysses looked at him with concern.

"It's a small matter. Someone committed suicide because he read the DNA analysis report given to him by Gene Umbrella Company. As a result, this person has poor psychological endurance. No, Gene Umbrella Company is lying and accused by everyone!" Henry shrugged. He shrugged, shook his head and sighed, "Before, the U.S. government stopped Gene Umbrella's personal gene sequencing service, and I originally wanted to use my strong connections to persuade the U.S. Congress. But now that this incident has happened, I don't think it's going to work."

"However, it doesn't matter. I believe that it is impossible for science and technology to be blocked forever. As long as a balance is found, the personal gene sequencing service will restart!"

When Kaelina and the others heard Henry say this, they were relieved.

The next day, the weather was fine. After breakfast, everyone took Henry's Luna Rolls-Royce to work at the Williams Center. This car has also become a beautiful sight in the Williams Center. Everyone knows that it is Henry Williams's car, and inside it sits the most powerful and richest man in the world. And the most interesting thing is that in addition to often sending his wives to work, Henry Williams also picks them up from get off work. Such a big show of affection is like killing a single dog.

When Henry came to the headquarters of Gene Umbrella, he learned that the US government officially issued a ban on Gene Umbrella's personal gene sequencing service at 9 o'clock this morning.

Henry heard the words and immediately called an emergency meeting.

Most of the participants had a heavy face. But Henry was much calmer, leaned back on the seat, and smiled lightly: "Isn't it a ban, we just need to find a way to lift the ban. Do you have any good suggestions?"
