After Yang Rui walked away, his mood became a little nervous, and he felt comfortable after eating three slices of bread full of caviar.

Coca-Cola is indeed unhealthy, but it is not a poison, and to prove that it can increase the secretion of testosterone, thereby promoting precocious puberty in teenagers, Leung's research data is not enough.

Of course, from the current data, it seems that it is very close, as if in a few weeks, the desired results will be obtained.

However, Yang Rui knew that this was almost impossible.

He had already found a number of similar papers in his mind, but just like Liang Jinrong's data, none of them were statistically significant.

In other words, the paper can prove that the testosterone secretion of mice has changed, but because the change is not enough, it cannot prove that it is directly caused by Coke, or even indirectly caused by Coke.

Such a conclusion, let alone destroying Coca-Cola, is very difficult to harass it -- the American Parent-Teacher Association often kicks carbonated drinks out of school based on similar articles, but that's because people are good at PTA, not because of the paper.

It is precisely because the predicted conclusion is not beautiful enough that Yang Rui will now contact Coca-Cola's people, and when the conclusion comes out, he can't contact it even if he wants to.

Baldwin couldn't have offered him an offer for a paper that wasn't conclusive.

However, the freshness of the experiment designed by Yang Rui is enough, and Baldwin will have to offer a pleasant price now if he doesn't want to see the conclusion.

The so-called hemp rod beats the wolf at both ends, which is the current situation.

Yang Rui took two glasses of champagne from the tray of the waiter passing by, handed one to Jing Yulan, drank half of the glass, and then turned the glass to look, thinking: Lao Mei is really rich, champagne is so casual to drink, no wonder the Chinese squeezed their heads to come to the embassy party.

Today's gathering was held by Coca-Cola to welcome Baldwin, but at the U.S. Embassy, but judging by the crowd coming and going in the hall, most of them were unrelated Chinese.

Of course, the same is true of the old and beautiful parties.

"What do you want?" Jing Yulan took a shallow sip of champagne and looked up at Yang Rui.

Above his head is a huge crystal lamp two stories high, which is dazzling.

Yang Rui shrugged his shoulders and decided to open an interesting new topic, saying, "Do you know that the French have been applying for a protected designation of origin for Champagne?"

"Huh?"

"They believe that only those produced in the Champagne region of France, using the three designated grape varieties Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, according to the specified production methods and processes, can be called champagne, otherwise they should be called sparkling wines. ”

"Because French champagne is the best?"

"It's best that this judgment itself is very subjective, and the wine produced in Cava in Spain is not bad, using the same process in the Champagne region, and using grape varieties that are more suitable for the local area, the price can vary greatly. However, the quality of wine from other regions is uneven, and French champagne has relatively strict brewing standards, so even entry-level champagne tastes good. Yang Rui smiled as he said and said, "Talking about the protection of origin, will it feel like our university system?" ”

Jing Yulan was confused by Yang Rui's jumping thinking: "Why is it like a university system?"

"For example, Peking University graduates, no one can guarantee that Peking University graduates are the best, but Peking University, or all universities, will carefully screen the students who enter the school every year, and will use the same method to brew their own students every year. Yang Rui pursed his lips and said: "In fact, the entire education and scientific research system is this mode of origin protection. ”

"But the treatment of students outside the country of origin is very different from the treatment of students who are absorbed from those who are within the country of origin. Jing Yulan nodded slightly. Different academic qualifications must be treated differently by employers.

Yang Rui said: "It's like the price gap between French champagne and other sparkling wines. ”

"Why is this happening?" said Baldwin, who had just overheard their conversation from an interpreter.

Yang Rui tilted his head slightly, and said in Chinese a little unhappily: "Mr. Baldwin, you are a ghost. ”

Then, Yang Rui sat and watched the translator scratch his ears and cheeks for half a minute, translating the elusive into three clauses.

Baldwin smiled and apologized, and followed the topic just now, and said: "The education of Haval and Stanford seems to be also protected by the place of origin, what do you think is the reason for this?"

"Because it is the consumer who determines the mode of production, the consumers of the educational model are not the educated themselves, they are only the products. Yang Rui said briefly.

Baldwin pondered, saying, "But education sector managers can also change educational institutions. ”

"In the modern world, managers of the education sector are also consumers of educational institutions, and even if they make changes, I prefer to change like French universities. "The French university is a different kind of university than the ordinary university. In France, any high school student who passes the baccalaureate examination can go to university, but large schools have additional exams, only 10 percent of students can enter large schools, and the teaching requirements of large schools are stricter, and the number of educated students is smaller, often only 100 or hundreds of people are admitted every year, which is very similar to Chinese universities in the 80s. In fact, its translation in China can be an elite school.

Baldwin nodded approvingly: "I remember that the French seem to have such a saying, it cannot be said that every student of the elite college is a leader of French politics, finance and business, but at least it can be said that these leaders of politics, finance and business are all graduates of the French elite university...... Well, it does taste like French champagne. ”

White also paced at this time, and said with a smile: "In my laboratory, there have been many graduates of French universities, and they are indeed very good. In particular, the level of students who have won the title is significantly higher than that of American graduates. ”

"Title?" Baldwin asked cooperatively.

"It's a certificate that's more important than a diploma from their school, and it's usually like this: Engineer from the National Higher School of Nutrition and Applied Biology...... Students with such a title are proud. ”

"That's right, Bastian said, he often brags about his credentials. Baldwin turned to Yang Rui and Jing Yulan and smiled: "Bastian is the head of our bioengineering laboratory, and he likes to point his chin at people, but he is a good person. Well, you may have a chance to meet in the future. ”

"Really?" Yang Rui's tail tone was raised.

"Yes, I talked to the leaders of your Peking University, and if Coca-Cola's bioengineering laboratory also joins the cooperation, they are willing to send you as the person in charge. Of course, we may need to unify experimental projects as a result. Baldwin seemed to be talking about something extraneous, and his tone did not change in the same way as he did when he spoke of French Champagne.

White looked at Yang Rui worriedly, for fear that he would disagree and become angry. He'd seen too many angry researchers, not because honest people can't suppress their anger, but because researchers often put too much effort into a project.

However, Yang Rui didn't even change his expression in the slightest, and said, "Mr. Baldwin, I'm afraid you don't know the situation comprehensively enough. ”

"If you mean the Beijing Forestry College, I have also negotiated with them, the president of the Beijing Forestry College, I am very happy to cooperate with Coca-Cola. ”

Yang Rui shook his head with a smile and said, "Mr. Baldwin, in addition to leading an experimental group in the Tang Centralized Laboratory of Peking University, I am also the person in charge of Sinovel Laboratory, how much do you know about this laboratory?"

"I know it's a laboratory of GenesZeneca in the UK, and you have published a number of papers under the name of Sinovel Labs. But...... I have a good relationship with the vice president of Nelson at Zeliconia and we will figure out a solution. Baldwin smiled and turned his glass, as a professional manager of a super multinational company, Baldwin's human-machine relationship spanned multiple continents.

White was even more worried.

This time, Yang Rui finally showed a stunned expression, but he quickly said with a smile: "Sinovel Lab is not a laboratory of the British ZeliZena company, it belongs to the Hong Kong Sinovel company. ”

"Hong Kong Huarui?" Baldwin repeated, looking at his assistant out of the corner of his eye.

The lean-looking personal assistant began to desperately rummage through his bag to find information.

"Hong Kong Huarui is an offshore company. Unless you can find the vice president of the company. Yang Rui spread his hand.

"No need to look for it. Baldwin waved his hand, drove away his personal assistant, turned his head, looked at Yang Rui, and said with a smile: "I'm just trying, Mr. Yang Rui, please don't be angry, if I don't try, my boss will also say that I don't do my duty." ”

Yang Rui laughed softly. Baldwin's boss probably wouldn't care about such a thing.

Baldwin laughed, his personal assistant from afar, and White laughed along.

"Mr. Yang Rui, would it be good to increase the funding of the joint laboratory to $300,000 per year?" Baldwin said apologetically.

Yang Rui asked noncommittally: "How to distribute." ”

"You and Mr. Wright, each doing research in China and the United States, share the $300,000 funding, and each has $150,000 to decide. "This is a relatively loose way of cooperation, both sides have some right to decide on funds, and if they can cooperate, they will discuss it, and if they can't cooperate, they will be separated.

"Sounds good. Yang Rui was noncommittal.

"Coca-Cola can also invite you to be our advisor if you wish. Baldwin pointed at Gibson and said, "We'll pay you the consultant fee according to the standards of the Asian region." ”

Yang Rui waved his hand and said, "No need for consultants, I'm still too young." ”

Collecting money in the form of consulting fees is somewhat too direct, and Yang Rui is not short of those.

Baldwin pondered, looked at White, and said, "Is it okay for us to add another $50,000 to the joint lab for office expenses to cover you and your partner's accommodation?"

"How many years will the contract for the joint laboratory be signed?"

Baldwin's teeth ached, dare we don't talk about a paid account?"

Yang Rui ignored him, and said, "How about three years? This is the shortest period." ”

Three years later, his PCR papers came out, and by that time, the joint laboratory did not know who had taken advantage.

A one-time fee of $200,000 is enough for Coca-Cola, and $600,000 for three years is completely beyond Baldwin's plan.

However, thinking about the paper, and then thinking about White's judgment, Baldwin gritted his teeth and accepted it.

"Just sign for three years. ”

Yang Rui is satisfied, it is comfortable enough to make so many false statements in one paper.

The name of the joint laboratory is also good, anyway, it is Stanford University, and the annual office budget of 50,000 US dollars is also very useful, which can be used to pay for the cost of hotels and first class, which is not much different from your own money.

"Hopefully we can have more opportunities to communicate. ”

"Of course. Baldwin shook hands with Yang Rui.

"I also want 10 places to be invited by Coca-Cola every year to visit and visit the United States. Yang Rui held Baldwin's hand and didn't let go.

Baldwin hesitated for a moment and said, "For 10 places a year, we can only afford $30,000, and this is the final offer." ”

$3,000 per capita in '84 is enough to go on an economic trip to the United States.

Yang Rui nodded and said, "In addition to the cost of 30,000 US dollars, you are responsible for the official procedures, including the invitation letter, etc., which I will write into the contract of the joint laboratory." ”

"Okay. Baldwin was relieved and uneasy. The annual cost of $230,000 is a small amount of money for Europe or Japan, but it is a large amount of money for China.

"Can you introduce me to an ambassador? I hope that we will have Mr. Ambassador present at the signing ceremony. Yang Rui's words drove Baldwin's ease away.

Baldwin looked at Young
