Chapter 188: How Can I Catch This?

Finally, at Zhong Bai's suggestion, the first patent advertisement in the Oriental Times was scheduled to appear three days later, that is, next Monday.

Li Nanxin did not choose to publish it as soon as possible, because Zhong Bai emphasized to her that the entire Swiss delegation would end its trip and return to China on Sunday, and this patent advertisement can be regarded as a precedent for the Chinese.

It's not that he doesn't trust the organization, but with this groundbreaking event, Zhong Bai is not 100% sure in his heart that no one will interfere, although the possibility of such interference is very small, it still exists.

However, as long as he returns to China and the raw rice is cooked, and even if the embassy asks for it, the "Oriental Times" can continue to enforce it on the grounds of a commercial contract, and as long as it takes a long time, everyone will slowly get used to it instead of watching this patent advertisement with colored glasses.

Next, about asking the newspaper to help him purchase the IBM personal computer, Zhong Bai was still more cautious, thinking that he should wait for at least a few successful orders to be generated, so that the "Oriental Times" could really get the money before handling it, but he didn't expect President Li Nanxin's attitude to make Zhong Bai feel an unexpected surprise again.

"Xiao Zhong, you don't have to be so outside." Li Nanxin waved his hand: "Although I have never engaged in scientific research, I have written and read a lot of scientific research reports in newspapers for so many years. Whether there is a suitable scientific research instrument has too much impact on the promotion of modern scientific research. Thanks to me, tomorrow our newspaper will have a trip to MD East Coast, and I will try to buy what you want all at once. ”

Zhong Bai was surprised: "Huh? President Li, that's not a small amount of money, close to $10,000! Isn't it a bit too much to ask the newspaper to pay in advance......

"Hehe, I don't need the newspaper to use public funds to advance the purchase of this money." Li Nanxin smiled slightly, stroked the long hair that was a little scattered on the sideburns with her hand, and said, "I will buy it back with my personal savings." ”

"But it's ...... too"

"What's wrong?" Li Nanxin saw Zhong Bai's worries, and said: "Xiao Zhong, the reason why I am willing to use my personal savings to help you buy this equipment first is not only because we are familiar with each other through these two days of contact, and we are willing to believe that the cooperation plan you propose can definitely make money, but because from another point of view, now you have actually become an outstanding talent in our country, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are even a hero in the fertilizer industry!" Wouldn't it be possible to register a patent in faraway Switzerland, and convince these serious Germanic people? Although I have lived abroad for many years, my patriotism has not changed. So, let me make a small contribution to the development of our country's fertilizer industry. ”

Rub, you raised the height of your words so high, how can I still take it?

Zhong Bai could only whisper the word "thank you", nodded silently with a respectful expression, and said in his heart that although he had experienced a lot of ups and downs after being reborn, he was generally lucky.

Of course, it is indeed good luck to be able to get Li Nanxin's help out of his own pocket, but from another point of view, isn't this Zhong Bai through his own efforts to make these overseas Chinese feel that the motherland is getting stronger day by day and are willing to lend a hand?

In addition, after all, the Chinese people in the world now, whether at home or abroad, compared with the era of 2019, everyone's thinking is more simple, and the idea of patriotism is stronger, of course, it will feel particularly obvious and different in reality.

"President Li, please take care of the advertising matter, I hope we can have a good start next week." Zhong Bai smiled and said goodbye to Li Nanxin: "Today's inspection group still has an itinerary, so I won't bother much." ”

After leaving the "Oriental Times" newspaper office, according to the itinerary compiled by Wu Xiaoping, we will stay in Bern for half a day this afternoon, and then we will take the train back to Geneva, rest in the hotel in the evening, continue to go shopping in Geneva all day tomorrow, take a plane along Frankfurt to transfer to the capital early the day after tomorrow, and then take a plane back to Tiandu by the same way.

Perhaps there are enough "bullets" in the pocket, and several leaders today are obviously not as restrained as yesterday when shopping, and everyone buys and buys slightly cheaper things directly, and also omits a lot of bargaining time, plus Zhong Bai's skillful use of several Chinese languages and rich experience, it can also be regarded as helping everyone find a lot of good goods with high cost performance.

"Director Fu, this camera uses authentic West German Zeiss lenses, not only can it not be bought in China, but even if it can be bought, it is a sky-high price, it would be a pity if you don't take it now." Zhong Bai saw that Fu Chongshan couldn't put down a camera, but he looked hesitant, and immediately suggested at the right time next to him.

"I know that." Fu Chongshan, director of the technical department, nodded, but lowered his voice and said, "But its price is inevitably a little too expensive!" That's 500 Swiss francs! Xiao Zhong, you only changed a total of 1,000 yesterday, and according to the rules, you have to leave at least half of the quota for Director Lu, why am I embarrassed to spend half of it alone? ”

It turned out to be the price factor, Zhong Bai had an idea, and immediately said to Fu Chongshan: "If Director Fu is just worried that there are no other requirements for this, I have a good idea." ”

"What's a good idea?" Fu Chongshan is usually a straightforward person, and as soon as he heard what Zhong Bai said, he immediately raised his eyebrows and asked.

Zhong Bai smiled and said, "I bought this camera back for Director Fu's own use, right?" ”

"Of course, how could I give away such an expensive and good camera? For personal use, for sure! Fu Chongshan thought for a while and added: "Actually, I don't want to buy it 100% for my leisure hobby, when I usually have time to go to the grassroots level to investigate and research, I also like to take some information and record photos as archives, which can be regarded as semi-private and semi-public." ”

Hehe, as long as you use it yourself and don't give it away, it's easy to do, Zhong Baixin said.

He changed his words and asked, "If you can get this camera for less than 300 Swiss francs, I wonder if Director Fu will be so entangled?" ”

"Huh?! Less than 300? Xiao Zhong, do you mean really? Fu Chongshan immediately became excited, and his right hand unconsciously "clamped" Zhong Bai's arm and pulled him aside: "If you can buy it for 300 Swiss francs, I will give you my five-year-old Seagull brand domestic camera after returning to China!" ”
