After a lively Christmas shopping scene, a group of Chinese spent a quiet and peaceful Christmas in Kempinski. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info just a few more poor turkeys died.

Benjamin's Law Firm began working the day after Christmas, renting a Kempinski conference room, setting up a video recorder larger than the heads of three people, and began to video the testimony of all Chinese scholars, in order to prevent unexpected situations such as witnesses suddenly turning back after going to court.

The judicial process in the United States is lengthy and repetitive, especially in corporate cases, which are not uncommon for years or even more than ten years, and the list of witnesses is naturally as long as a grandmother's footwrap, and some judges will consciously reduce the number of witnesses and the time they appear in court, but some judges are not. And in order to prove in front of a non-specialist judge that their side is more supported by professionals, lawyers clearly prefer to have a longer list of expert witnesses.

Credibility is also one of the factors for lawyers to decide witnesses, finding a hawker to prove that the national economic index is meaningless, even if the hawker is amazing, self-taught, and talented, in contrast, a Harvard graduate Fed economist is more likely to accept his economic views, even if the Fed economist has a party every day during college, participates in a party every day during the internship, and organizes a party every day during work, it doesn't matter。

In the field of science, academician and professor, plus doctorate, these three titles are the most convincing.

Lawyers are also reinforcing these terms, pushing their own witnesses as much as possible.

Just after New Year's Day, the court day has arrived.

Yang Rui and others dressed neatly and went to the courtroom, accompanied by a large number of reporters in addition to lawyers.

This invention, which is currently worth $200 million, could be worth $3 billion in the future, and even decides a Nobel Prize, is a wonderful story for journalists, and more than one reporter has followed the whole story.

The DuPont consortium, bullying the small, and high-tech companies in the new economy are all attractive gimmicks.

Yang Rui watched the reporters fill the small auditorium, and he was a little nervous for a while.

"Mr. Yang Rui, you only need to explain your work after testifying in court today. Lawyer Benjamin sat next to Yang Rui and reminded him in a whisper.

Yang Rui took a deep breath and said, "I know." ”

Benjamin nodded, glanced at Yang Rui again, and could only pray that the next testimony would be smooth. This is a patent case, not a criminal case, and Yang Rui can't even go to court if he doesn't want to.

Benjamin, who has done a lot of patent cases, knows that many technical experts are not good at words, and Yang Rui is a foreigner, so he is naturally even more unsuitable for the court environment. However, if he does not let Yang Rui appear in court, DuPont's lawyers will also let Yang Rui appear in court, which is not conducive to his side.

Of course, the timing of court appearances is always to be mastered.

Taking advantage of the time for the opposing lawyer's statement, Benjamin reminded in a low voice: "Professor Dalbeko's testimony is very beneficial to you, but he mainly proved that the technology of PCR should not be derived from the technology of DuPont in the 70s, and we need to prove that this technology belongs to you completely, so you will mainly explain your contribution in PCR." ”

"Understood. Yang Rui nodded slowly, his mood gradually calmed down, and asked: "The video I took before, the video taken during the PCR work, can't it prove my work?"

"Yes, but the judge still wants to hear you. Benjamin looked at him and said, "The court believes testimony, and sometimes it trumps physical evidence." ”

It didn't take long for Yang Rui to finally sit on the witness stand.

The spotlight was like a burst firework, and the eyes of the person who flashed it could not be opened, so that the judge had to hit the hammer again and again, and warned: "If anyone uses the flashing light, he will be expelled by the bailiff." ”

DuPont's lawyer, who was about 50 years old, waited for the reporters to calm down before he walked up to Yang Rui, said hello, and asked, "Mr. Yang Rui, are you still a college student?"

"Yes. Yang Rui replied.

"As far as I know, you claim to have made the PCR at the time, and you're still in your first year of college, right?"

"Yes. ”

"It's kind of unbelievable, isn't it?" the lawyer smiled.

Yang Rui smiled: "For you, any biological theory is incredible, isn't it?"

Yang Rui's reaction had no impact on the judges, but it suddenly made the reporters excited.

DuPont's lawyer was stunned for a moment, and found that Yang Rui was sarcastic about himself, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "I mean knowledge reserves, it always takes a while, do you think a year of college career can reserve corresponding knowledge for you?"

Yang Rui stretched his head forward, approached the microphone, and said, "Yes." ”

DuPont's lawyer was stunned again and asked, "You mean, a one-year college career can make Nobel Prize-level achievements?"

"Nope. Yang Rui looked at DuPont's lawyer, looked at the lawyer and said, "Some people can't make Noorby Award-level results in a hundred years." ”

The reporters in the gallery were already laughing.

The lawyer's expression remained unchanged and asked, "Let me put it another way, Mr. Yang Rui, how did you complete the Nobel Prize-level results while studying in one year?"

"In fact, it took me less than half a year to complete the entire design and demonstration of the PCR. Yang Rui shrugged his shoulders and said, "Before that, I also did another study, and cloning mutagenic genes to determine the function of ion channels is a more difficult study. The value of the results is not determined by the difficulty of the research, of course, there are still some difficulties in PCR technology, but I think that 3 months is enough. ”

"You mean that in three months, you can make Nobel Prize-level results?"

"It's not anyone, it's me. Yang Rui would not have the slightest modesty in the court, puffed up his chest, and said: "Inspiration is the most important part, you get inspiration, and the rest of the work is just repetitive manual labor." Your assistant is gesturing to you. ”

Yang Rui pointed behind the lawyer. DuPont's lawyers were obviously confused, and they wanted to question the source of inspiration, not who made the PCR, and it was Yang Rui who made the PCR, which has been confirmed by Benjamin many times.

DuPont's lawyers, who were in charge of the interrogation, had ugly faces, while reporters began to write frantically or press the shutter without turning on the flashing lights, which is a favorite part of the public's favorite scene, single-handedly defeating powerful corporate organizations.

The judge had to pick up his hammer again.

The scholars from China were dumbfounded, they didn't expect the American court to be like this, and they couldn't imagine that Yang Rui was not humble and so wild.

DuPont's lawyer ended the cross-examination, and Benjamin came to the stage, and after the latter's programmed one-vote question, he said, "Yang Rui, how did you come up with the idea of PCR technology?"

Yang Rui showed a look of reminiscence, and said: "I was in Yunnan, a province in China, where the highway has a characteristic, very winding, almost all of them are winding mountain roads, when I sat in the car, I saw the winding mountain roads, and thought of the heat-resistant polymerase I was making, and suddenly felt that such an environment is very similar to the helical ......structure of DNA."

Journalists are excited again, and the public's favorite thing is not to listen to stories.

If Yang Rui talks about his PCR research seriously, the reporters will probably go back to make up a wonderful story after falling asleep, but Yang Rui's story is more fascinating and has more communication value.

As for DuPont's lawyers, after Yang Rui told the story, their expressions were already gloomy.

The court in the United States is originally a showdown between stories and stories, and Yang Rui's story is much better than the story of DuPont's so-called "old Nobel laureate Tieshu blossoming in the 70s".
