......In fact, Wu Xiaoping has no experience in this area, but based on his natural caution as a foreign affairs officer, he nodded after thinking for a while: "It is true that you should find a way to notify the local authorities in advance, and it is best to ask them to send someone to participate in the patent examination process, of course, if they don't want to send someone to come, it is okay, but you must inform the other party." ”

In fact, Zhong Bai didn't want to have more complications, but since Bridget proposed this matter, and Wu Xiaoping also agreed, then he naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Well, in that case, let's contact Deputy Mayor Chemitrov." Zhong Bai nodded silently and said to Wu Xiaoping: "Secretary Wu, then let's go right away." ”

Looking at the backs of Zhong Bai and Wu Xiaoping leaving in a hurry, Brown and Ricky, two French engineers, couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Is all this real?

How can these people from SHZY countries behave so badly?

Bridget just said lightly: "Look, there are more things you haven't seen in the back." ”

……

It's also lucky, after all, Chemitrov is also the deputy mayor of a dignified city, and it is impossible to revolve around Zhong Bai alone in his daily work, he still has a lot of things to do, and it may not be possible to call him over immediately to do something.

In the past two days, except for this afternoon, Chemitrov actually has a schedule, but only this afternoon can he stay in the office to deal with official business, but Zhong Bai passed at this time.

Seeing Zhong Bai coming to him again, the deputy mayor had a faint sense of foreboding.

Chemitrov took the initiative to ask how the Red Star Machinery Factory was doing, but Zhong Bai only skipped it with three or two sentences of understatement, saying that the two sides had not started the progress of cooperation for the time being.

Just when Chemitrov thought that the other party had come to the door to throw this problem to him, Zhong Bai told him that the Swiss Patent Office had sent someone to Kharkov and was preparing to review the patent on site.

"What? The Swiss Patent Office sent someone to Kharkiv for on-site audit? After hearing the news, the deputy mayor couldn't help but be stunned: "That...... So what does this require from our city ZF here? ”

"It's very simple, we need the support of Mr. Deputy Mayor, although Switzerland is a neutral country, but according to the regulations, they send people to you to review the patent, without local consent, I am afraid that the result will be invalid, so we hope that you can agree to this matter." Zhong Bai did not hide his purpose in the slightest.

"This ...... Shouldn't there be any problem, right? Chemitrov did not answer Zhong Bai immediately, but turned his head and whispered to his secretary general.

The Secretary-General thought about it, this doesn't seem to be a major matter of national defense secrets, although it is from Switzerland, isn't it just an industrial matter? It has nothing to do with the enterprises in the city of Kharkiv, so he nodded and gave his opinion: "It should be no problem." ”

"That's good." Chemitrov nodded and said, "On behalf of the Kharkiv City ZF, I agree that the audit will be completed locally, do you need any help?" ”

However, Wu Xiaoping was more alert, and immediately replied: "Mr. Deputy Mayor, if it is convenient, it is best to ask you to issue a legally valid document to us." ”

"That's fine." Thinking that the two sides of the audit had no connection with the city ZF itself anyway, and the responsibility could not fly to him no matter what the situation, Chemitrov quickly nodded in agreement, and asked the secretary general to draw up a document and hand it to the two immediately.

In less than an hour, Zhong Bai and Wu Xiaoping had already got the paperwork and hurried to the Calypso Hotel.

On the way back, Wu Xiaoping raised the doubts that he had been thinking about just now: "Brother, is this thing really that important?" Or can the Kharkiv authorities agree or not to influence the promotion of this technology after it is patented? ”

Zhong Bai smiled and replied noncommittally, "Important...... It doesn't matter. Let's not talk about the follow-up promotion, I have my own ideas, and now the most important thing is that we have to find a machinery factory to agree to produce a batch of products, right? ”

Wu Xiaoping nodded and said, "Yes." But it doesn't have anything to do with my question? ”

Zhong Bai then explained: "I said before that now there is no machinery factory in Kharkiv that can produce it, we must look at the nearest city of Donetsk, and without the participation of Kharkiv ZF, it is difficult for us to find a way to go there, we can't always rely on your efforts in foreign affairs, right?" It's hard work and slow to do, but now? We have some kind of endorsement from the ZF in the city of Kharkiv, and although they agree that the fact that the patent will be audited on site in Kharkiv does not have much impact on the patent itself, it is certainly an attitude, an attitude that can nod elsewhere. ”

Hearing this, Wu Xiaoping began to slowly come back to his senses, his eyes gradually emitted light, and he said excitedly: "I understand...... What you mean is that from the point of view of the city of Donetsk, although the city of Kharkiv rejected the patent for immediate production, at least there is no doubt about the patent itself - whether the Swiss Patent Office sends someone to the site for an audit, or Kharkiv agrees, that's for sure, then the Donetsk side has reduced the associated risks, right? ”

Zhong Bai nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Yes." ”

……

Brigitte didn't expect the two of them to get the paperwork and return so quickly, and there was a look of surprise on her face, even though she herself had objected to Brown and Ricky's coming.

"So, can we jump right into the review process from now on?" Zhong Bai didn't care about Bridget's surprise, but quickly got into the state of work, because he now felt that if he could save a minute in Kharkiv, he could go to Donetsk a minute earlier to carry out the next step.

Jiang Xinpeng also silently put a full set of DWX35-180/100X design drawings and the English version of the patent principle written overtime on the large conference table in the conference room, and everything was ready.

Yu Dongfeng originally didn't want to participate in this kind of professional review scene, but this time, because Zhong Bai had made it clear that the DWX35-180/100X hydraulic strut patent was applied for by Baifeng Trading Co., Ltd., not an individual, so it was impossible for him not to be present as the person in charge of the company.

Theoretically, he should even be on hand to answer all kinds of questions from the audit engineer!
