"BOSS, there seems to be a situation at the door. ”

Washington is tirelessly patrolling every corner of the venue, this is the first academic conference of the IBA, and it has to be the best it can be.

Although it is a not-for-profit organization, ICM has high hopes for the society behind IBA, and the resulting market authority will allow ICM to have more world-class members.

The voice from the walkie-talkie made Washington stunned slightly, this is just an academic conference, could it be that there will be some unexpected incidents?

Such meetings occur almost every day in the United States, and there is even a model called "exhibition economy", that is, the development of the economy through meetings and exhibitions. No one will make trouble for this kind of meeting, the first thing is that there is no oil and water, and there is a distance between the academic and business circles, so they will not eat this set. Secondly, it will have a bad reputation, if there is a salesman who breaks through and causes the order of the meeting to be disrupted, the culprit will definitely not be able to mix in this industry.

So generally speaking, Washington should be worried about the audio-visual equipment, the order of the venue, and all kinds of small details of preparation in advance, rather than dealing with any unexpected situation.

What's more, he's not sure what the emergency is. Maybe it's just a stunned young salesman, or an unknown person who wants to sneak into the venue, hoping to become famous at the conference - this is purely a TV series that I have watched too much.

Washington was trying to go to the door to see, at least knowing the troubles. However, he had only taken a few steps when a figure suddenly stood in front of him.

"Mr. Washington, I have something to ask you. ”

"Oh, Professor Spacey. I'm sorry, I have something to ...... for the time being."

"But my things are also very important, and I hope to be able to ...... about the opening speech in a moment."

"Professor Spacey ......"

"Mr. Washington. Please don't interrupt me......"

Washington tried to bypass Spacey several times, but he was caught dead and had to stop to listen to his nagging.

He had no choice but to raise his hand to signal Spacey to pause for a moment, then raise the walkie-talkie, and let a person in charge of monitoring the venue come over to see the situation before coming to listen to Spacey.

Helpless, Washington finally looked in the direction of the gate. I could only silently pray that there would be no major trouble over there.

......

"Why don't you let us in?

Team Leader Zhang was a little angry, but because of the discipline of foreign affairs, he couldn't clash with Andy, so he had to communicate with him in a forced tone.

But Andy doesn't have this concern, the world news of Americans is the news of the United States + Canada, at most take care of Mexico. Where is China? Who knows.

What outstanding achievements Chinese scientists have, who knows.

What the Chinese look like, who knows.

Why there is a problem with the invitation of the Chinese, who knows.

"I suspect there might be something wrong with this invitation, but I'm not sure. Please wait a minute, I'm going to ask my boss for advice. ”

"Okay, then please hurry up. Team Leader Zhang was also helpless, so he had to continue to beg in a low voice.

"I'm sorry, I have to take in the other guests first, please wait until I'm done with my work before checking. ”

"Are you done with your work?" Team Leader Zhang's eyes widened, and he couldn't hold back the fire: "Isn't that the opening ceremony all started, can you let us in when the invitation is confirmed?"

"I'm sorry. Once the meeting has begun, no one else can enter. Andy looked like he was businesslike.

Team leader Zhang translated the conversation between the two to the Chinese members behind them, which immediately provoked a wave of protest.

"If we can't get in, are we just waiting? Stupid to stand here for half a day?"

"What a joke. I can't stand it. Old arms and legs, this is still the old problem left in the cadre school back then, and the team will not be reimbursed for medical expenses when he is sick?"

"That's right, it's not a way to wait like this, I think it's better for us to go back to the hotel first." ”

Professor Qing's last sentence suddenly made the members of the group suddenly quiet, speaking of academic exchanges, the old professors have done it many times. There's really no special benefit to listening to a speech at the venue. Before the conference starts, they have already got all the papers to be presented by the speakers scheduled for the conference, so they can choose the session according to their favorite content.

At the opening ceremony, they also got what Spacey was going to talk about, and there are very few people in China who have engaged in the research content of lithium-ion secondary batteries, and more are nickel-cadmium or lead-acid. Either it is the research and development direction of dry batteries. The domestic research and development of lithium batteries is a bit backward, the reason is that lithium metal is too dangerous, not for military use, and too expensive for civilian use. There is no R&D instruction from the superiors, so naturally there are fewer people to pay attention to.

By 1985, there were no more than 100 papers on lithium batteries since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and most of them were follow-up reviews of foreign research progress.

Although the first paper on lithium-ion secondary batteries was signed by a Chinese institution and Chinese, they have never heard of units such as the Xinke Battery Research Institute, and the feeling is no different from that of looking at foreigners. Later, some people contacted the research institute, but the other party ignored the invitation of these professors in China, so it gradually faded.

Anyway, there is no accumulation in this area at all, so there is no difference between reading papers and listening to speeches, and they can't ask anything when they ask questions after the speech.

In this way, Professor Qing, who was quite "generous" in his hands, began to think carefully. His more than 1,000 dollars is not just his own, but a collection of the ardent expectations of several companies. If there is only half a day of activity, this procurement work is a bit intense.

It would be great if the time for the opening ceremony could be used for procurement.

And the other members are also quite excited, and there are opportunities for free activities, no one will be too much, right?

"Well, I think Lao Qing's proposal is good. It wasn't our problem that we couldn't get into the venue, but the invitation was really real and never put in our hands. I can't get into the venue now......"

Team Leader Zhang's face tightened, and the invitation card was placed in his hand before, if he wanted to say that he didn't care about the reason, now that there was a problem, he couldn't enter the venue, and when the time came, he would be held responsible, of course, it was his fault.

Listen to this. If he does not agree to the free movement of the opening ceremony, this mistake will be planted on his head and then on the top.

"Then ......" Team Leader Zhang hesitated for a moment, and had to reluctantly nod his head: "You have to report to me wherever you want to go, and then we must come back to gather before the afternoon, do you know?"

"Xiao Zhang, don't worry. We're all dozens of years old, can we really run away? You didn't say that we were going to come back at the afternoon meeting, I have a lead-acid maintenance-free problem and I have to ask my peers for advice. ”

"Oh, yes. Someone next to him supported Professor Qing: "I also have an alkaline battery in my hand to participate, so I can't miss it." ”

"Alright then, I'll wait here, professors, you can move around freely first. ”

"Okay, let's go! I inquired before I came, and I said there was a big mall called Wal-Mart. It's so cheap over there!"

"Wait for me, I have to go back to the hotel and get the money. ”

"Go, go, go. ”

......

The crowd of the old professors scattered, but one of them stood still. Team Leader Zhang looked at it, and it was Ling Xiao without asking.

"I said, Professor Ling, don't you go to free time? I'm keeping an eye on me here, just remember to come back for a meeting in the afternoon." ”

"Nope. Ling Xiao shook his head and said indifferently: "I'm a little interested in secondary lithium batteries, and I want to wait to see if it's possible to wait for the opening ceremony to start before entering." ”

"It's fine. It's good. Team Leader Zhang smiled and was noncommittal about Ling Xiao's choice. I just found a chair in the hallway and sat down.

Ling Xiao stood at the entrance of the venue and kept looking at the paper in his hand, and the two of them waited peacefully.

Just as the meeting was about to begin, suddenly there was another sound of footsteps in the hallway. Around the corner of the hallway, a group of people came up, starting with a Chinese man with a big brother talking on the phone — still using the standard Trump.

"Mr. Hu, don't worry, my Mao Qingzhu will definitely not be sloppy, and I won't fool these Yankees. I won't have the surname Mao!"

"That's right, you will ship the products over on time in China, let's see how these turtle sons write dead words!"

"Okay, I'll enter the venue, Mr. Hu, you're busy. I'll call you after the meeting to report. ”

"Yes, yes, I will definitely follow your established policy, then I will hang?"

Mao Qingzhu carefully hung up the mobile phone communication in his hand, and wiped the sweat that did not exist on his forehead.

"Are you Chinese?" Ling Xiao heard Mao Qingzhu's voice calling, put down the paper in his hand and asked with some surprise.

"Oh, you're from the Chinese member group of this conference, right?" Mao Qingzhu was clear about this, nodded and said: "We are from the New Science Research Institute, and we didn't come with the domestic team." Strange, isn't the meeting about to start, why are you still standing here?"

"The doorman at the venue said there was a problem with the invitation and wouldn't let me in. Ling Xiao sighed and said, "It's a pity, I still want to ask Professor Spacey a few questions." ”

"Oh, are you researching lithium battery technology in China?" Mao Qingzhu was obviously a little interested.

Ling Xiao shook his head and said with some regret: "Research is not counted, but I have always paid attention to it." ”

Mao Qingzhu stood still, looked Ling Xiao up and down, and suddenly stretched out his hand: "Give me your invitation, and I'll take you in." ”

"Ahh ”

"Hehe, do you know why we didn't come with the domestic group?" Mao Qingzhu pointed to a group of people behind him, a few whites and a few Chinese: "See? Our boss has a deep background." ”

"Comrade Mao, you are not ......"

"I'm just a part-time worker. Mao Qingzhu shook his head with a smile, took his invitation from Ling Xiao, and handed it to Andy with his own invitation and that of the group of people behind.

Andy didn't have long eyes, of course he saw Mao Qingzhu and Ling Xiao talking, and immediately wanted to find an excuse to detain his invitation.

However, when he opened the invitation card, he hurriedly respectfully put Mao Qingzhu and his party, and even Ling Xiao together.

Just kidding, Mao Qingzhu's invitation was filled in the unit column: Grumman Aerospace. (To be continued......)
