"Hey, young man, look at me, do you know who I am?"

Spacey is actually in his forties, and there's nothing wrong with calling him an IBA intern boy.

The interns recruited by IBA are young people who are ready to eat scientific research in the future, or who are ready to work hard in the battery industry. The first thing that anyone who can be in charge of reception at the door of the conference hall should do is to memorize the heroic genealogy.

As the keynote speaker of the opening ceremony of this conference, Spacey's photos have long been memorized by these interns.

"Of course I know you, Professor Spacey, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Ha, you're good, young man, and promising!" Spacey was quite pleased that he could brush his face, hooked up with the intern's shoulder, and said familiarly, "Listen, I have something I want to ask you for a favor." If you say yes, not only will you reap Professor Spacey's friendship, but you'll also get this!"

Spacey reached out and shook the intern's hand. Needless to say, this hand is a stunt that all Americans can do, and the handshake transfers Franklin in the palm of his hand to a master.

Without this skill, it is often difficult to move an inch in the United States.

"Oh, what am I going to call you, my friend, I'm going to remember your name, you've done Professor Spacey a great favor!"

"Andy, my name is Andy, Professor Spacey. ”

"Andy, what a great guy, you're going to help me, right?"

"Oh, of course!" Franklin had an extra sheet in his hand, and the intern immediately smiled: "Professor Spacey, please do not hesitate to command, I will definitely help you do anything!"

"It's not a big deal, you just have to ...... like this"

……

"Team Leader Zhang, does it have to be like this? Look at the foreigners around you, which one is not very casual. And our clothes, just like uniforms, are so ugly!"

"Professor Qing, please bear with me, these are all the rules set by the Foreign Affairs Bureau, and I can't help ...... it."

The leader of the Chinese member group is a "young man". He is about 30 years old, and he is the person in charge of the foreign affairs department. It is said that in China, he was appointed to a central ministry at such a young age, and he can be regarded as having a promising future. However, any of the members of this group are professors from any university in China, or they are researchers at research institutes, and many of them are very old people who have achieved this position.

How can we manage such a group of people who cannot fight, scold, and scold, and even more, the two sides have no subordinate relationship? If we do not care about the so-called "international influence," we will really have to herd sheep.

There is no way, there is no way to go abroad many times in China, and people will not see it after going abroad. I had to be burdened by this group of runaways, and the foreign delegation had to be strictly managed.

"I said Lao Qing, don't lose your temper with Team Leader Zhang, what can he do?

"Hey, I brought out less than a thousand dollars, and I don't know what I can buy. ”

"Hey, how did you get a thousand dollars? I have cash in my hand, but I can't find a place to exchange dollars. ”

"I'll tell you, it's in Liulichang. I know a guy who sells calligraphy and paintings. There are often foreigners over there to see the freshness, and the relationship between the hands of the calligraphers and painters is a little bit more......"

Professor Qing said. The members of the group suddenly couldn't maintain order, and everyone surrounded him, so they asked for the trick of exchanging foreign currency.

However, there was still one person in the team, who stood still and did not move, holding a stack of manuscripts in his hand, reading as if unconsciously.

"Yo. Professor Ling Xiaoling, are you still reading papers?" Team Leader Zhang watched the old professors gather in a circle to exchange experiences and experiences, and touched his nose to emphasize any more discipline.

Well, that's it - he hates it himself, just as he does, and looks at the people around him and the attendees from other countries walking around at will. Who can really like this set of home?

However, during the heated discussion in the team, one person ignored it, just like a queue of Chinese suddenly appeared in the hall, and Professor Ling suddenly appeared in the Chinese member group.

Professor Ling looked about the same age as Team Leader Zhang, but he was already a professor when he heard the title. Even if you are an associate professor, this is not easy in the domestic environment of seniority.

"Oh, there were a couple of interesting presentations at this conference that I wanted to know about in advance. Ling Xiao closed the collection of papers in his hand, and then saw the old professors who were already sitting around.

"What's going on—"

"Ahem, it's okay, let's share the experience of going abroad to attend conferences. Team Leader Zhang coughed pretendedly, and suddenly asked, "By the way, Professor Ling, I heard that the speaker of the opening ceremony of this conference, Professor Spacey, seems to be talking about our Chinese technology?"

"It's hard to say. Ling Xiao hesitated, shook his head and said: "There is a research paper in China published in an American scientific journal, but it is difficult to say whether Spacey's technology uses the technology of that paper, after all, American university professors may also be developing this technology at the same time, so it is possible that the car crashed." ”

"Oh, that's right. Team Leader Zhang looked a little regretful, but he was not too disappointed. Or it should be said that the threshold of expectation is too low, so the negative emotions are not strong.

"It's a shame to hear that Motorola offered Professor Spacey tens of millions of dollars to acquire this patent. Tens of millions of dollars! If this is invented by scientists in our country, will it be our turn to take this money?"

"It's hard. Ling Xiao's tone of voice was not quite sure, but he was thoughtful: "If it is to buy our technology, even if it is the same, the Americans will not pay so much money." For example, a two-step fermentation method patent for vitamin C in China was also sold to Roche in Switzerland, but unfortunately we only sold 5.5 million yuan for this technology that can subvert the market, which is almost negligible compared with the market fluctuation loss avoided by Roche. Roche is still using the original one-step fermentation method, because it is the world's leading producer of vitamin C. ”

Team Leader Zhang didn't understand what he heard, but he nodded subconsciously. Only then did I know that foreigners could still do this kind of business, and in order to maintain their monopoly position, they insisted on using more advanced technology.

This is almost unimaginable in China, and what kind of technology to use is not a matter of a word from the higher-level units? The only problem is the inertia of civil servants and the investment in technological transformation, but there is never such a reason to prevent the application of new technologies.

But Roche probably didn't know that their efforts did not prevent their demise. When China's manufacturing industry began to enter a blowout market at the end of the 90s, because Roche did not buy out the right to use the two-step fermentation method in China, a large number of Chinese pharmaceutical companies began to use the two-step fermentation production line of vitamin C. At a cost of about $4, the international price of vitamin C, which is as high as $18, has thrown hell.

The international market of vitamin C can be said to have truly experienced the Chinese made-in-cabbage price offensive. The price of vitamin C eventually fell to a loss-making $2.3, and the vast majority of Chinese pharmaceutical companies went out of business. Roche of Switzerland, BASF of Germany, and Takeda Pharmaceutical of Japan, which have always monopolized the supply of vitamin C in the market, have also all closed down and disintegrated because of this dumping and malicious competition.

Since then, the world's vitamin C supply has become a meal on the plate of China's four major pharmaceutical companies. Therefore, BASF, the only surviving company in Germany, has been seeking to make vitamin C a prescription drug.

Unfortunately, the tragic Germans forgot that after the collapse of the International Vitamin C Price Alliance, this practice of prescribing vitamin C offended other interest groups. Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble, and other interest groups in the United States also could not tolerate the high price of vitamin C, and simply dispatched an antitrust investigation by the US Department of Justice, sent the general manager of Roche, who had mastered the two-step fermentation method, to prison, and imposed a fine of $5 billion on nine major international vitamin C producers on charges of price unions.

Since then, 80% of the world's vitamin C has been produced in China. The friendship of Pacific Rim Kiji was the first to bear sweet flowers in the vitamin C market.

But of course, Ling Xiao didn't know these future things yet.

"I said, professors, it's almost time for us to enter, isn't it time to enter?" Team Leader Zhang looked at his watch, saw that he was about to arrive at the time of admission, and hurriedly reminded everyone.

"Oh, let's go, let's go!"

The old professors rearranged into two columns according to the request of Team Leader Zhang, and walked in the direction of the conference hall under his leadership.

Andy dutifully checked the invitations of everyone who entered the conference hall, although this kind of meeting may not have food and drink, but there are many international battery industry experts, scholars, technical personnel and even the main person in charge of battery companies, and representatives of downstream manufacturers, which means that the hall of this conference is full of business opportunities.

If you can't determine the identity of the people who entered the venue, those salesmen with well-nosed noses might be able to blow up the venue.

"Hello, we are the Chinese member group participating in the meeting, and here is the invitation. ”

Like passports and other identity documents, the invitation card for the meeting is also kept by the team leader, that is, the team leader will hand over to Andy.

"Wait a minute, I need to check. Andy took the stack of invitations handed over by Team Leader Zhang and began to check them carefully.

However, when he opened the last invitation in his hand, his brow furrowed. (To be continued......)
