Chapter 893 - Extraordinary
Airport. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Van Lunding was wearing a tweed coat and jumped to see the passage.
His translator is an office clerk recruited by Jielizen in China, who has just arrived at the company and rarely has the opportunity to be alone with the British management, so he smiled and said: "It's a little cold today, the weather in northern China is like this, it is capricious and cools down at every turn." ”
"Yes. Van Lunding was still staring at the arrival passage, he was here to pick up the expert invited by the mentor, for Van Lunding at this time, he really needed an expert to tell him that the universe was still in perfect operation and had not been smashed by Yang Rui.
"If you're feeling cold, just sit inside for a while and have a cup of coffee or something, and I'll be here watching. The security check in China is very slow, and the arrival of the plane is also lacking speed......"
"I'm not cold. "Van Lunding's mind is not at all about rest.
The translator smiled: "You are quite hardy, ordinary people go to Beijing, just the temperature in winter, they can't stand it at all, especially when this kind of weather changes, many people don't know how to add clothes, and they will freeze miserably at the end of the day." ”
"I'm Yorkshire. ”
"Huh?"
"We wear this a lot. Van Lunding shook his tweed coat.
The translator finally came to his senses, racked his brains to recall the materials he had read before, and said: "Yorkshire is the coldest place in England. ”
After all, Chinese learn English in British English, and they inevitably come into contact with British human history.
Seeing that he knew Yorkshire, Van Lunding was quite satisfied, and also had some conversation, and said: "Not only that, Yorkshire is also the textile capital of England. The history of York is the history of England, George VI said, do you know George VI?"
"Of course. The names of the kings of the past are a must, and the translator hurriedly said: "It is the father of the current Elizabeth II." ”
Van Lunding was happy: "Not bad. ”
The translator smiled like a sunflower, his ears were cocked, and he was brewing emotions, and he promoted himself: "When I was studying, I liked to read British history books......
"Wait a minute. At the initial stage of the translator's promotion of himself, Van Lunding suddenly interrupted him, pointed to the front and said, "Someone has come out, hurry up and raise a sign." ”
The interpreter hurriedly held up the sign that had been prepared for a long time, and it was written in English with a capital letter: Professor Brian.
Van Lundin's eyes also roamed the crowd, looking for the expert that the mentor said he would say.
"Hold the sign up a little higher, the professor may have a bad look. Van Lunding admonished again.
Deferiprone is a very obscure compound, but there is a wonderful thing about the field of scientific research, that is, no matter how obscure the field, there are always one or two experts who spend a lifetime doing research - if there is no researcher, then it is not a rare field, it is a dead field.
Professor Brian, who was introduced to him by Van Lunding's supervisor, is a professor who focuses on the study of metal chelators such as deferiprone and is said to often go to Africa to do free services, which is an outlier in the university.
Van Lunding, as an ordinary version of the British, is still a little nervous in the face of outliers.
At this time, a tall beauty walked out of the passage.
She carried a large hiking bag, a jacket, a scarf, and short red hair like a flame.
Van Lundin's eyes were instantly drawn to her.
In fact, most of the attention of the crowd who picked up the airport was attracted by this redhead with a strong figure and a beautiful face, so much so that the passengers who followed her had to walk to the person holding the sign to get attention.
The redhead stood still for a few seconds, quickly swept the pick-up sign, and then walked in the direction of Van Lundin.
Van Lunding looked enviously at the European next to him, who was also an employee of a multinational company, and said: Even if it is just a colleague, this can improve work efficiency.
A few seconds apart, the Europeans next to him also turned their eyes to Van Lundin, also with envy.
Van Lunding was surprised.
"Hello, is this Mr. Van Lunding from Zelicona?" The redhead walked under the sign held by the interpreter, made a handsome pistol pose, pointed to the name on it, and said, "I'm Brian, you can call me Grace." ”
"Oh...... Hello, Professor Brian, I'm Van Lunding. Van Lunding was so surprised that he stuttered, and he mistakenly thought that Brian must be a man, which was naturally inconvenient to say.
"If you don't want to call me Grace, you can call me Dr. Brian. The title of professor is generally given to the old guys. The redhead smiled, and the sun was shining like Africa.
Van Lunding's head looked like it had just been refrigerated in Yorkshire, and after he shouted "Dr. Brian", he suddenly became lively again, and his eyes lit up: "I didn't expect you to be so young and so beautiful." ”
"Young and pretty doesn't look like a professor, does it?"
"No, you're too young to think of how you managed to get your Ph.D. in such a short period of time, become a professor at Cambridge, and still have time to do philanthropy in Africa and continue your research. Van Lunding complimented Grace as best he could, and as a Cambridge paddler, he also had some flirtatious skills.
Grace tightened her backpack and said, "Let's talk about it as we walk, can we? I want to finish my work quickly and go to see the Great Wall of China by the way." ”
"No problem, I'll drive with you personally. "Van Lunding is very positive.
Grace glanced at him and said, "Do you have a Chinese driver's license?"
Van Lunding was stunned and shook his head.
Grace nodded and said, "So continuing with the previous topic, I graduated with a first-class bachelor's degree at the age of 16, a master's degree at the age of 17, and completed my doctoral dissertation at the age of 20, and my doctoral dissertation was completed in Africa." There are a lot of students in Cambridge like me, so it's not surprising, isn't it?"
"Right...... Yes. Van Lunding hadn't yet woken up from the blow of Grace's driver's license, and in an instant he felt physically attacked, as if he had returned to his student days and the beginning of graduation.
Grace said that the first-class graduation (firstclass) is an average of more than 70 points in the class, which is equivalent to more than 85 points in China, and only 11% of British students can get this score on average, but the average is average, the Cambridge chemistry department that Grace studied, as well as similar physics and law departments, has always been below the average score, and no more than 2 students can get the firstclass graduation in a class of 30 people, and this is from the competition of Cambridge students.
As for the 17-year-old master's degree, the 20-year-old doctorate, and Grace's 16-year-old first-class graduation is not unusual, Cambridge students are as simple as masturbating, even if it is a Cambridge doctorate, it only takes time to accumulate, because after the end of undergraduate studies, most Cambridge students will choose to work directly, and it is always pleasant to get a six-figure salary. Cambridge students who choose to continue their studies and pursue further academics are equivalent to missing most of their evenly matched opponents, and the pressure on competitors from other schools is sharply reduced, let alone first-class graduates.
Van Lunding also studied hard in school, but in spite of this, he only got the second class in the end, and such students, accounting for 49% of Cambridge, are the most ordinary beings in Cambridge.
The score scale of British students will eventually be written on the graduation certificate, and employers usually only need students above the second class, and students at the second class level and below, often have to lower their expectations in order to find a job.
Of course, as with domestic university diplomas, after a few years of work, the role of such a certificate is greatly diminished, except for first-class graduates.
Such an honor will definitely accompany you for life, to prove your intellectual and perseverance advantage - in the sperm market of later generations, the sperm of a man with a first-class degree certificate can be sold for several times more price, and the egg will be more valuable, capitalism has always expressed its value tendency with naked money.
Although the industry is also very good, especially the salary is several times that of the academic community, but in the current situation, Fan Lunding does not feel that his ordinary salary in the industry will be higher than that of a Cambridge professor.
Turning his head to look at Grace who was walking like a fly, Van Lunding followed nervously, and suddenly felt a little ashamed of himself.
But after getting in the car, Fan Lunding readjusted his mentality, and said in his heart, I am not ready to continue to do academics, what does it matter if other people's academic level is high.
"Grace, let me tell you about the situation. As a flirtatious mid-flirtatious, Van Lunding believes that talking about work is also a good start.
Grace nodded, and her body turned slightly to Van Lunding, and her ******** figure was suddenly revealed.
Van Lunding held back his eyes, looked at Grace, and said with a smile: "Your eyes are so beautiful, turquoise, you have Nordic blood?"
"My parents are both Dutch and immigrated to the UK. Grace explained, and immediately asked, "Specifics?"
"Oh, this time it's mostly a deferiprone project......"
"I know, I've heard that somebody has made more than 20 derivatives of deferiprone -- do you have the molecular formula for them?"
"Well, I'll be able to show you now. Fan Lunding said and introduced the project of Huarui Laboratory and Yang Rui, and put gold on his face by the way: "I joined this project three weeks ago, and the main members of Huarui Laboratory are Chinese, they do not know much about the technical process and requirements of new drug development, and I happened to participate in multiple new drug development projects, so I was invited by them." ”
"You only joined three weeks ago, so you don't know much about the situation of ferrite removal?" Grace made Van Lunding frown in surprise, and said, "Otherwise, let's find someone who is familiar with the situation to introduce me." ”
Van Lunding was dumbfounded, as an Englishman, he rarely met such a straightforward person, and he lost most of his flirting skills, and argued embarrassedly: "Although I joined three weeks ago, I am the Englishman who knows ferrite best." ”
"I don't care which Chinese person explains it to me, just have an interpreter. Grace's words made the driver and translator in the front seat smile.
"The Chinese will not give you a comprehensive briefing like I do, they prefer to keep it secret. Fan Lunding didn't mind planting bribes to the Chinese, blocking the way for the little clerk to pick up the girl, and said: "Besides, when I entered the Huarui laboratory, they only made 9 active substances for deferiprone, and now they have made 28 kinds, and I have personally participated in understanding at least 19 kinds." ”
"You mean they spent three weeks making 19 new derivatives of deferiprone in three weeks?" Grace sat up straight.
"Yes, I know it's a bit hard to believe, but the purpose of my call to the mentor is also to hope that someone can explain the situation. In fact, when I called, Sinovel Labs had only made 21 compounds, and now they have made 7 compounds, and the speed has not even slowed down. ”
"It can't be. Grace leaned back into the back seat, relaxed, not believing Van Lundin's words at all.
"You see it when you see it. Van Lunding smiled and thought: I have finally stopped you.
On second thought, Van Lunding was a little uncomfortable and unhappy.
