When Zhu Hongbo returned to the "Oriental Times" newspaper, President Li Nanxin had been waiting for a long time.

"Xiao Zhu, how was today's interview? Did it go well? Li Nanxin beckoned to Zhu Hongbo and motioned for him to come to his office.

Zhu Hongbo respectfully put the notebook of the interview record on the president's desk, Li Nanxin looked down and looked at it carefully for a few minutes, and then a smile bloomed on his face, looked at the time, and dialed a Huaguo phone number.

"Xiao Zhong, the specific news of the inspection group has been found here, and the details will be sent to you by fax in ten minutes, I will tell you the key points now......

Hanging up the phone, Zhong Bai swept away the haze of recent days, and his mood improved.

It can be regarded as confirming the news that Deputy Director Alden is coming!

This time point is too critical, although it is only a short week, but this week is a key node for Zhongbai to open the European market!

Because the other party is leading the team with a certain director under the Swiss Ministry of Industry, then there is no need to think that the Ministry of Industry of China will definitely send officials at the corresponding level to accompany them for inspection.

In Yudu, Xichuan Province, at least the team from Sanqiao District will also accompany the whole process.

At last...... There must be someone in the middle of this to play the role of a bridge, and this person needless to say, it must be himself.

Zhong Bai was leisurely drinking tea in the office with Erlang's legs crossed, quietly waiting for news.

The fax was quickly sent from the office, Zhong Bai took it all the way to Fu Chongshan and Lu Xudong to sign, and finally the fax appeared on the desk of the director Liu Zhengfu.

"Xiao Zhong, this news is very important, and the ministry probably doesn't know about it." Liu Zhengfu's tone sounded in a good mood: "I'll sign it first and report it to the hall as a document." You have to be mentally prepared. ”

"What mental preparation?" Zhong Bai asked knowingly.

"Hehe, no matter which director the ministry sends to accompany you, you have no experience in dealing with the relevant personnel of the Swiss Ministry of Industry and the Swiss Patent Office, you have been to Switzerland before, and you have business dealings with them, the ministry will definitely bring you with you!" Liu Zhengfu flipped through a document on the table again and said, "Your training should start in mid-November, right?" It was still empty for more than ten days, and if there was no other work in hand, it was better to participate in the inspection of the Swiss Ministry of Industry. ”

Zhong Bai tried his best to pretend to be "surprised" and asked, "Huh?" I'm going to participate? Isn't that a bit of a bad idea? Director Lu has also been to Switzerland, and he should go...... Better, right? ”

"There are a lot of things going on in Xudong during this time, and I have to go to several cities to investigate." Liu Zhengfu tapped the table with his fingers and said with a smile: "What, are you still unwilling to go?" The opportunity to earn some travel allowance should be taken advantage of. ”

"Whoa." Seeing that the heat was almost over, Zhong Bai stopped behaving well, picked up the fax signed by Liu Zhengfu and walked to the hall office.

……

On November 1, a delegation of 8 people from the Swiss Ministry of Industry landed on time at Jiangbei Airport in Yudu, Xichuan Province.

Because they were transferring from Beijing, the escort of the Ministry of Industry of China also took the same flight to Yudu with them.

At the exit of the airport, Niu Pengju, deputy mayor of Yudu, led the team, Bao Minghui, director of the Xichuan Provincial Department of Industry, Fei Shuhang, secretary of Sanqiao District, Tang Song, and other officials personally greeted the delegation of the Swiss Ministry of Industry.

Zhong Bai was also reluctantly squeezed nearby, according to the rules of the Chinese system, it was difficult for him, a comrade at the level of section chief, to stand in front and contact the other party, but fortunately, Zhong Bai was strong in foreign languages, so he was specially given the identity of a part-time translator, so that he could contact the other party closely.

Everyone introduced each other and shook hands in a cordial and friendly atmosphere, and when Zhong Bai walked in front of Alden, the deputy director of the Swiss Patent Office, the deputy director who had not seen him for a long time had a smile on his face: "Zhong, we finally meet again!" Although it is not in your hometown of Tiandu, I admit that I have missed you very much for almost a year! ”

Rub, why does this sound so ambiguous?

Zhong Bai felt a chill, in order not to let the people around him see the abnormality, he just nodded very low-key, shook hands with the other party and whispered: "After tonight's dinner, let's find a chance to meet alone." ”

"No problem." Alden thought to himself, even if you don't say it, I'd like to do it.

The airport is just a simple meet-and-greet session, and the next step is of course a meet-and-greet.

Because the officials sent by the other party are of a higher level, it would be a little too low to hold this meeting in Sanqiao District, so the meeting was held in the Yangtze River Hotel in Chongqing.

After Niu Pengju, deputy mayor of Yudu, gave a warm and brief welcome speech, the leader of the team, who is usually led by the other party, that is, Luca, director of the operation bureau of the Swiss Ministry of Industry, delivered a speech.

This speech was very important, because it wanted to show the main purpose of the delegation's visit to China, so Lukka solemnly took out the prepared manuscript from his pocket and began to read it.

"Dear friends from the Ministry of Industry of Huaguo, Xichuan Province and Yudu City at all levels who participated in the meeting, hello everyone!"

"This is the first exchange between Switzerland and China in the past ten years, and on behalf of the Swiss Ministry of Industry, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your presence!"

"Originally, there were not many exchanges between the industries of our two countries, but since an engineer named Zhong Bai in your country applied for a personal patent for the first time at our Swiss Patent Office last year, the exchanges between the two sides have heated up rapidly, and soon there have been follow-up applications for company patents based on DWX single hydraulic pillars in the Swiss Patent Office."

"In view of the increasing cooperation in this area, we specially came here to inspect the operation of Huaxi Machinery Factory, which mainly produces DWX single hydraulic struts, and hope that there will be more patent exchanges and industrial exchanges between the two countries in ......the future."

Luca's speech was not long, and it took less than five minutes to make it clear what they were trying to do.

In fact, to put it bluntly, look at the response of your country to Swiss patents, whether China has really begun to establish the awareness of patent protection, once established, then Switzerland and China will have great room for cooperation in the field of industrial patents.

You know, compared to the industrial powers of MD, RB and France, Switzerland itself is not an industrial manufacturing country.

It plays more of an intermediary role, that is, it is similar to the national positioning of Switzerland itself - a neutral country, a mercenary country, etc.

In addition to the ongoing efforts of the Patent Office, the Swiss Ministry of Industry itself also needed to find a new point of development outside the traditional European patent market, and since several industrial patents registered in China continued to bring income, it was imperative to develop this area into a second growth point in addition to RB.
