Chapter 146: Pacific Rim

"Hey, boy!, do you know who I am?" said Spacey, who was actually in his forties, and there was nothing wrong with calling an IBA intern boy.

The interns recruited by IBA, the fastest novel, are young people who are ready to eat the rice of 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, very promising!"

Spacey was quite happy that he could brush his face, hooked up with the intern's shoulder, and said familiarly, "Listen, I have something I want you to do me 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 will transfer Franklin in the palm of his hand to one 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!"

With an extra Franklin card in his hand, the intern suddenly smiled: "Professor Spacey, please do whatever you ask, 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? You foreigners, which one is not very casual, and our clothes are just like uniforms, too ugly!"

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

The leader of the Chinese member group is a "little young"

, who is about 30 years old, is the person in charge arranged by 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.

The subordinates are in charge of such a group of people, who can't beat and scold, can't scold.

What's more, the two sides have no affiliation, how to manage this?

If you don't have to care about the so-called "international impact"

。

It's really time to herd the sheep.

There is also no way, the country has gone abroad many times before and after going abroad, and people have not seen it, so they have to be affected by this group of runaways, and the foreign visiting wèn group has 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. In Liulichang, I know a calligrapher and painter. 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......"

As soon as Professor Qing said this, the members of the group immediately couldn't maintain order, and everyone surrounded him and asked for the trick of exchanging foreign currency.

However, there was still one person in the team, who stood still and did not move.

With a stack of manuscripts in his hand, he read it unconsciously.

"Yo, Professor Ling Xiaoling, are you still here?"

Led by Zhang, the professors gathered in a circle to exchange experiences and experiences, and it was not good to emphasize any discipline after touching their noses.

Well, that's it - he hates it himself, too.

Attendees from other countries around the house are all moving around at will, and who can really like this set of their own work?

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 is about the same age as Team Leader Zhang, but he is already a professor when he is called.

Even if you are an associate professor, this is not easy in the domestic environment of seniority.

"Oh. There were a few 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 passed through the old professors sitting around.

"What's going onβ€”"

"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 published in an American scientific journal in China, 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 was 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 feelings 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, what technology is used is not a matter of a sentence from the superior unit?

The brother unit is ventilated, and it is very fast to say that it is popularized.

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 in Switzerland, BASF in Germany, and Takeda Pharmaceutical in 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.

Interest groups such as Coca-Cola and Procter & Gamble in the United States also could not tolerate the high price of vitamin C, so they 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 fined nine major international producers of vitamin C $5 billion on charges of price union.

Since then, all of the world's 80 bio-C products have 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, we're almost at the end of time, isn't it time to enter?"

The team leader Zhang watched, seeing 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 invitation 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 and scholars, there are technical personnel and even the main person in charge of battery companies, and representatives of downstream manufacturers, which means that the hall of this meeting 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.
