Zhong Bai didn't dare to say how much effect the preventive injection he took last night was, but the young body's ability to adapt to jet lag is really strong, and Zhong Bai still felt it.

Despite sleeping for up to ten hours on the plane, Zhong Bai still forced himself to fall asleep at one o'clock local time last night, and when he woke up at eight in the morning, he happened to sleep for another seven hours, full of energy.

The minibuses rented by the embassy were also waiting at the gate at 9 o'clock, and everyone changed into the suits they rarely wore on weekdays, and each got on the bus at a full rhythm to go to the legendary Swiss Patent Office.

Many people have a misconception about the Swiss Patent Office, thinking that the headquarters of this patent office is in the famous Swiss city of Geneva.

But in fact, its real location is located in Bern, another historical and cultural city in Switzerland, and it is also the capital of the Swiss Confederation, so its full name is called the Swiss Federal Patent Office of Bern.

The main reason why the Swiss Patent Office is famous in the world is that decades ago, the famous physicist Albert Einstein studied physics in his spare time while working at the patent office and published his astonishing work "The Theory of Relativity".

Zhong Bai had known this knowledge for a long time, but most of the leaders on the car only learned about it before they set off.

After getting into the car, Ye Xing began to quip: "Don't say it, when I was studying, I thought that the capital of Switzerland was Geneva, but I only learned later that it was Bern, after all, Geneva is more famous than Bern." Our country is different, and the most famous is of course the capital, which is also the capital. ”

"That's different, we're big countries, they're small countries, and Switzerland is a federal country, that's why we're doing this." The answer was Fu Chongshan, director of the technical department, who usually likes to delve into some international history knowledge in his spare time in addition to his profession, which came in handy at this time.

"Today we are going to the Geneva Bureau, and I don't know how different it is from their General Bureau?" Director Miao Lirong asked casually.

Zhong Bai replied without thinking about it: "The scale is much smaller, it is a three-story building, and there are only dozens of staff, which is not as mysterious as everyone imagined." ”

After speaking, he found that the whole car was staring at him strangely, and immediately coughed lightly to cover it up: "Ahem, I have seen photos in foreign documents......"

After arriving at the gray three-story building, everyone knew what Zhong Bai meant by "much smaller".

It's really small!

Even in everyone's eyes, this building can't talk about the scale of a branch of a national patent office, right? No matter how you look at it, it is only equivalent to the building of an ordinary county-level unit in Huaguo.

The person who came to receive their delegation was just an ordinary docent of the Geneva Branch.

But I have to say that there is still something about the popularization of science in this small fertilizer patent exhibition.

The 30-meter-long U-shaped display panel, printed with all kinds of exquisite photos and reports, even from Zhong Bai's eyes, this level of production meets the specifications of some small exhibitions in China at the beginning of the 21st century.

This coincided with the publication of the International Patent Classification System User's Guide by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) in 1981. I., Fertilizer (Use

Therefore, although the fertilizer patent has existed in the past, there is no relevant system introduction, and the domestic patent is even more black in this area, until everyone sees this long exhibition board.

"This is the result of the rapid classification of fertilizer patents filed by our Office in accordance with European standards following the publication of the International Patent Classification System User Guide by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization." The male narrator explained fluently: "For example, Melo in Italy

Group, Peppe

The group applied for our patents here at the first time and were protected by law. ”

These are all fields that everyone has never been exposed to before, so naturally I heard it with relish from the translator, but when it came to the names of some specific patents, Wu Xiaoping felt that he was a little unbearable, and immediately gave Zhong Bai a look.

Zhong Bai immediately connected seamlessly: "For example, the special technology of synthetic ammonia here, the ammonium bicarbonate fortified formula here, etc., are all protected by the Swiss Patent Office." ”

He interjected his own opinion in a timely manner: "At present, it seems that the patents that the Swiss Patent Office has applied for in the fertilizer industry are mainly formulas and finished product patents, and patents for production processes like ours are very rare, which means that the patent value of reducing the low-key water temperature is very high." ”

Everyone is not a nerd, naturally can hear the value of Zhong Bai's opinion, nodding frequently, although at the beginning I saw that there were so many foreign fertilizer industry patents, but our country can break through a blank field, this is of course a very proud thing, so everyone's expression is not as restrained as at the beginning.

Two hours passed in a flash, and this small fertilizer patent exhibition popularized science, although the name is "small", but the content contained in it is rich and the amount of information is indeed something that everyone did not expect before, including Zhong Bai was surprised in the "International Patent Classification System User Guide". I., Fertilizer, in 1981, when the Geneva branch of the Swiss Patent Office was able to produce such a time-sensitive and accurate exhibition, did demonstrate the rigor and seriousness of the Germanic people.

The three hours of noon were just used to go through the formalities at the new Messenberg Hotel, and several elderly leaders did not sleep well because of the jet lag last night, plus a high-intensity exhibition in the morning, just took advantage of this point to catch up on sleep, and before they knew it, it was three o'clock in the afternoon.

……

Alden, deputy director of the Swiss Patent Office, arrived in Geneva from Bern by train early, in fact, he arrived at the branch office at about half past eleven in the morning, and also found the Chinese delegation visiting the exhibition, but the deputy director did not come to greet everyone at the first time.

After all, the itinerary is scheduled to meet in the afternoon!

This shows the Swiss style of strictly following the rules!

Deputy Director Alden was waiting in the conference room twenty minutes early, and he was accompanied by the director of the bureau's industrial patent division, a beautiful middle-aged intellectual woman, Bridget.

"Alden, I'm very interested in the young Chinese worker you mentioned who applied for a patent for lowering the temperature of low-key water, do you have any more information about him?" Bridget asked, seated down.

"More info?" Alden turned his head and glanced at the other party: "I, like you, am only trying to get to know him fully by faxing information from Huaguo, and I want to say more...... The last time I called Consul Hartz, he reminded me that this young worker seemed to be different from the vast majority of people in their country and had a strong sense of patents. ”
