"Hello, Mr. Yang Rui. The two Americans saw Yang Rui at a glance.

The center of the crowd's gaze is young and handsome, very recognizable.

Yang Rui smiled and nodded.

"Mr. Yang Rui, this is Mr. Sherwood, this is Mr. Gibson. Mr. Sherwood is the technical director of our plant, and Mr. Gibson is the director of our plant. Manager Xiao stood at the back and made an introduction, still a little nervous.

For the employees of Coca-Cola China, the discussion in the conference room is definitely one of their extreme dislike, not only disliked, but also terrible.

Yang Rui is much more relaxed, in fact, he also participates in too few meetings, or in other words, he participates in too few such activities, otherwise, if he knows a few more people and is a little accomplice or something, he will be a proper big class bully with a cell score.

The research institutes within state-owned enterprises are already weak, except for ministerial-level state-owned enterprises such as the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Petroleum, COFCO or something is not as strong as Jiangnan University's food science strength, and the little-known Comrade Chang Shihui does not care.

This is also the benefit of having a hard stubble reputation, Yang Rui is just not used to his identity change now.

On the other hand, it was also the identity of the student that slightly affected his performance, otherwise, just the fact that he had already obtained nearly one million funds, would have been licked by countless young researchers, or escaped.

Sherwood and Gibson are Coca-Cola's technology experts in China, and they are also the most frequent participants in China's academic activities, and everyone greeted them.

Sherwood and Gibson dealt with each other one by one, and then with a smile on their faces, they said, "Mr. Yang Rui, is it convenient for us to communicate alone?"

"Let's talk about it right here. Yang Rui used English to avoid the interference of translation.

Sherwood hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang Rui's English is really good. ”

"It's mainly about English, and the conversation isn't very comfortable. Yang Rui also accompanied the greetings.

Sherwood originally wanted to pull Yang Rui into a corner to directly discuss the conditions, just like a company encountering negative reports from the media and considering advertising in the media for the first time, such as Coca-Cola, a large company encountered the negative research of the scholar, and the first time it was to fund the scholar's research.

Of course, the amount of funding and how to fund it is also determined by the level of the scholar and the aggressiveness of the negative research.

If it's nonsense research, many companies ignore it, but if it's a study done by a professor at a top university, even if it's just one name, big companies don't dare to take it lightly. God knows which day he will go to court and become an expert witness.

In addition, the situation in China is more complicated, and Coca-Cola China is also more concerned about its public image, and the academic conference that was easily invited almost turned into a condemnation conference, which is the reason for Xiao's fear.

And for Americans like Sherwood, calories and phosphoric acid are also topics they don't want to talk about.

Before coming over, Sherwood and Gibbs were discussing a research grant -- actually a PR grant -- which was $2,000. It doesn't sound like much, but in 1984, $2,000 was a good donation in the United States, and professors at prestigious universities, such as those at the University of Mississippi, in addition to research grants from public funds, thousands of dollars in corporate donations were already considered large.

Those research grants that are often hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars are not for a specific purpose, but must come from a special person, such as Rockefeller, such as Carnegie.

Coca-Cola also spends a lot of money every year, but considering that they have to spend money in hundreds of countries, and most importantly, the United States of America, there is not much money to be able to share the profits with Chinese companies.

2,000 US dollars, equivalent to 20,000 yuan, is a good number in Sherwood's mind.

However, Yang Rui refused to talk alone, and Sherwood could only hide his offer in his heart.

After thinking about it for a while, Sherwood said: "Regarding the animal experiments that Mr. Yang said, I have some questions, Mr. Yang Rui has only designed experiments at present, and has not implemented them, right?"

Yang Rui said: "That's right. ”

"We have actually done some animal experiments within Coca-Cola, using mice, but the results may be something that Mr. Yang Rui does not want to hear. ”

"I'm open to academic discussions, and as long as there are beautiful results, I don't care about the results themselves. ”

"Then let me talk about the experiments we have done, Manager Xiao, please translate for you. "There are still Chinese present who do not know English, or have poor English proficiency, Sherwood decided to give Yang Rui a fatal blow, naturally hoping that everyone can see and hear."

In his heart, Sherwood is reluctant to be hostile to Yang Rui, and Coca-Cola's main business strategy in China is also to make friends and find common ground.

However, Sherwood and Gibson's rights are limited, and Yang Rui can't afford $2,000, so they can only try other ways to counteract the impact.

After a few seconds of deliberation, Sherwood asked, "Mr. Yang Rui, you talked about the calorie problem of Coca-Cola earlier, and you think that Coca-Cola will cause obesity in teenagers because of its sugar, right?"

"It's not just teenagers, but the obesity problem caused by carbonated drinks should be for all ages. ”

"Well, next, do you think you can use animal experiments to prove your argument?"

"And then you said that you had done animal experiments on it, and that you disagreed with me. Yang Rui said this in order to let scholars who are not good at English keep up with the rhythm.

Sherwood was very happy with Yang Rui's cooperation, but felt that he was a little stupid, paused for a few seconds, and released a fatal blow, "We fed the mice Coca-Cola in large doses for a long time, and set up a control group, and after 4 weeks, the weight of the mice who drank carbonated drinks was observed. As a result, mice that have been quoted carbonated drinks in large doses for a long time lose weight!"

Gibson also followed suit: "Mr. Yang Rui just said that he wanted to design animal control experiments, but now it seems that you don't need to design it anymore, and your theory itself is probably still flawed." If you still need animal experiment data, we can apply to the headquarters and fax the relevant experiment data, but the experiment is reproducible and has been recognized by many scholars. ”

The two talked continuously, which made Manager Xiao, who was the translator, scramble.

At this point, the scene in the conference hall became a little strange.

First of all, there was the loud cry of experts and professors who could understand English, and then the admiration of experts and professors who could not understand English.

But no matter what kind of person it is, the expression is a little subtle.

Yang Rui was not as depressed as people imagined. Coca-Cola and other companies in the 80s may still be like the tobacco companies in the 20s, promoting the pseudoscience of smoking and sterilization, but he came from a later generation, and anyone who can lose weight by drinking a lot of carbonated drinks for a long time will be able to open a gym to die.

The advantage of science lies in its authenticity, it can't be fake, it can't be fake, no matter how good the church is, it can't let the sun revolve around the earth, Yang Rui directly rummaged through the information in his mind.

Large companies like Coca-Cola generally do not engage in pure scientific research fraud, but if some factors are deliberately omitted and disguised as a level of inadequacy, the risk is very small.

Enron, which is also one of the world's top 500 companies, has not been found to have fake accounts for many years, and it is absolutely impossible to look down on the discipline of companies such as Coca-Cola.

After thinking for a long time, just when Sherwood and the others wondered if they had won a big victory, Yang Rui opened his mouth and asked, "Do you keep a record of the amount of food eaten by the mice while feeding the carbonated drink?"

"What?"

"I know that long-term heavy use of carbonated drinks can suppress the appetite of mice, which can lead to reduced eating. This is again where carbonated drinks are unhealthy, but in human studies, it seems that such a phenomenon is rarely found...... "Yang Rui's brief description, like a bolt of lightning, split Sherwood and Gibson's hair about to stand on end.

They're technicians, not scientists. Although there is only a one-word difference, in the academic field, the gap between a technician and a researcher is like the difference between a monkey picking a banana and a worker picking a banana.

Let them do it, let them repeat it, no problem.

But when it came to them for an academic debate, Sherwood and Gibson felt weak.

This is a genius who has published cell.

Moreover, this genius has now been proven to have a flaw in the paper they have mentioned that does not involve the amount of food eaten.

If you are a professional professor at a famous North American university, it is not surprising to know that Coca-Cola is boring, but Yang Rui's performance is undoubtedly beyond their cognition.

Seconds later, Sherwood and Gibson agreed to make a decision.

"Manager Xiao, please take everyone to the next project site to visit. Sherwood thought to himself: Since you don't want to go out, let the others go out.

The Chinese scholars left the conference room in good spirits.

Before leaving, a few people squeezed their eyebrows at Yang Rui, or even cast envious glances.
