Chapter 627: The Great Shadow (3rd Watch)
Yang Rui was thinking of the WestJet factory in Seaburg Town.
The WestJet factory is built in the factory building of the Xibao Meat Factory, using the current advanced equipment, and the personnel are all domestic employees, including Tian Shichang of the Ruixue Group, who have dealt with Yang Rui from the beginning of the factory and have a certain understanding of Yang Rui.
In addition, the Yang family is also the head snake of Xibao Town and Xi County, the combination of Jielikang, Guoyi Foreign Trade, Xibao Meat Factory and Yang Rui was originally unbreakable, but if Yang Rui can convince Guoyi Foreign Trade, Xibao Meat Factory is very easy to fight...... Natereca will tighten control of the WestJet plant to nil.
Just like the era when the mainland was engaged in large-scale development zones, and the county-level government killed foreign and Hong Kong businessmen, it was too simple for the Yang family to pit a company within Xi County, and even if the Hedong Provincial Government came down, it might not be able to stir up this mess.
If it was Yang Rui in high school, he would not be able to persuade the foreign trade of traditional Chinese medicine, but now, Yang Rui has met many powerful people through Jing Cuncheng, he has money in his hands and connections around him, and he has a great opportunity to use foreign trade of traditional Chinese medicine.
Of course, it is not easy for foreign trade of traditional Chinese medicine to sell coenzyme Q10 in the international market, but Yang Rui believes that as long as the ex-factory price is low enough and the profit is high enough, there will be shameless pharmaceutical brokers to undertake such business, and the heroin of Afghanistan and the blood diamond of Africa can be sold, and the medical brokers in the international market will not be much better than the drug dealers.
However, this is a very lethal trick, once implemented, it will cost a lot to reconcile, it can be said that as long as Yang Rui uses this trick, there will be losses first.
"I have to figure out how to find out what is going on with Zelica first. Yang Rui muttered to himself.
"How do you confirm this?" Jing Yulan continued to help him stretch his thoughts.
Yang Rui said while thinking: "It's definitely not okay to call, it's best to communicate face-to-face and find Franky." ”
"Frankie, that chubby Englishman?" Jing Yulan had a lot of impressions of this, in 84 years of China, it was rare to meet a fat man crowded into a seat.
Yang Rui nodded: "Frankie...... Generally a good person, but if I call him, I'm afraid I can't go to England......"
"If Frankie is in England, maybe he can ask someone from the embassy to help. Jing Yulan helped to think of an idea: "Uncle Guo Wei Guo works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he must know the people in the embassy, even if he doesn't know him, he can find a student in the UK." ”
Guo Wei was Jing Cuncheng's roommate in Delin Farm back then, and they all shared the foreign exchange coupons given by Yang Rui back then, so they were also a person from the Deling faction who had a close relationship with Yang Rui, and he helped Yang Rui several times earlier.
And this time, it was obviously the right thing to ask Guo Wei to help.
Thinking of this, Yang Rui was already excited, and couldn't help but pick up Jing Yulan and turn around, and said with a smile: "Good idea." ”
Jing Yulan was very shy, but fortunately, Yang Rui only hugged her and put her down, but it was annoying.
"Don't look like this anymore. Jing Yulan warned in a low voice, but the tone was slight and she couldn't hear clearly.
Yang Rui asked with the ability of a junior high school student: "What is not allowed?"
Jing Yulan was really ashamed, and turned her head to ignore Yang Rui.
Yang Rui sighed and pretended to say: "Ignore me, I'll go out to find Uncle Guo first, I don't know if people will leave food for me at noon." ”
Jing Yulan remembered his depressed appearance just now, her heart softened, and she said, "I don't have class today, I cook at noon, if you are willing to eat, come back." ”
"I'm going to eat radish brisket and clear the fire. Yang Rui immediately asked for an inch.
Jing Yulan's face darkened: "Boiled radish to clear the fire." ”
"The beef is not on fire, the radish is on fire, two catties with three catties, at least one catty is also cleared. Yang Rui was messing around while putting on his shoes.
Jing Yulan couldn't help laughing: "I'll go to the market to see later, if there is no beef, I can't help it." ”
"There is a card in the first drawer under the coffee table, which says beef guy, and there is an address and telephone number in the back, the phone is from the small shop in front of his shop, you leave a message saying that you want two catties of brisket, say my name, and he will know, before the vegetable market closes the stall, he will leave you two catties of brisket. Yang Rui talked about this topic as seriously as he talked about Jielikang's question.
Jing Yulan was dumbfounded: "You have such a good relationship with selling beef?"
"It's so hard to buy cattle now, just in time for weekends and holidays, you go to line up at five o'clock in the morning, and there are at least ten people lying in front of the beef and mutton shop. Yang Rui shook his head and said, "I sent a cigarette, and they promised to keep meat for me secretly." ”
Jing Yulan said in disbelief: "You gave the clerk of the beef shop a cigarette?"
This is 84 years, a cigarette is a gift exchange, a box of cigarettes can do things - just a day ago, Wang Yong used a box of cigarettes to help Yang Rui buy back three paintings of Wu Changshuo, the ambassador of the Republic of China, which is equivalent to buying back three special goods.
As for a cigarette, there are too many things that can be done, and if it is in the countryside, it is enough to add a plug when recruiting workers.
Yang Rui was very proud: "The cigar smoker also needs a cigar brother to serve beside him, I will give someone a cigarette, and they will not only leave the beef for me, but also leave the best part, come on, I'll go back first, you remember to call." ”
The door slammed shut, leaving Jing Yulan in the room messy: she hadn't heard of anything like this in the past 27 years.
Yang Rui went out, didn't call a car again, rode a bicycle and pedaled all the way, sweating profusely, before calming down and going to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to find Guo Wei.
found Frankie in the UK and asked him a question, this kind of work, almost all international students can do it, but Guo Wei still found a relatively elderly international student representative through his subordinates, told him two words on the phone, and then said to Yang Rui: "There will be a response the day after tomorrow at the latest." ”
"Keep it as secret as possible, and if you have any news, call me over and tell me. "Yang Rui is cautious by nature, and Jielikang's attitude is related to his dividends, and the amount of dividends determines his next actions.
Yang Rui couldn't take this more seriously.
Any person in charge of a laboratory attaches more importance to the funding pipeline.
In the next two days, Yang Rui spent time between worry, brisket, tenderloin, tendon, tail, and tripe.
On the third day, Guo Wei called Yang Rui and said, "There is news." ”
Yang Rui was doing an experiment, and without saying a word, he handed over the work in his hand to Su Xiankai, turned around and left.
If it were other problems, he would have prioritized the completion of the experiment, but for the current laboratory, the problem of funding is more important than the experiment itself. If the funding pipeline is cut off, and you can't even afford to buy experimental consumables, how can you talk about experiments?
Guo Wei was quietly correcting documents in the office, and when he saw Yang Rui coming in, he immediately put down the pen in his hand, closed the door, and said, "It has been confirmed." ”
Yang Rui was stunned in his heart, and said silently: "I didn't expect to receive bad news." ”
"This friend of yours, Frankie, also got people to say, saying that the mastermind behind it is not Jielikang. Guo Wei knew something about the situation, and his words were heavy.
Yang Rui smiled: "The mastermind behind the scenes......"
Guo Wei didn't laugh.
"Very serious?" Yang Rui was stunned: "Okay, the mastermind behind the scenes is also appropriate, who is it?"
"DuPont, do you know?" Guo Wei paused and said, "According to Franky, DuPont asked Jielizeneca to suspend the payment of dividends to you, in order to gain an advantage in the next lawsuit. Well, according to Frankie, DuPont will soon sue you in the United States. ”
"DuPont, of course I know......" Yang Rui's face was extremely bad, and he thought: It's finally here.
DuPont gives the impression that it is mostly a chemical group, and it is indeed the largest chemical group in the world, but in addition, as a large consortium, DuPont is also one of the top six giants in the in vitro diagnostic market, with a market size of as much as $1.2 billion, and the scale of in vitro diagnostics of infectious diseases most likely to affect PCR is $100 million.
$100 million is enough for a consortium to launch a shameless offensive.
Historically, Stem was harassed by DuPont about half a year after the launch of the PCR machine, and after half a year, the lawsuit broke out. This is because PCR technology first played a role in the field of virus testing.
Just like when Yang Rui gave a speech, he chose AIDS as a breakthrough, claiming that PCR can replicate the HIV virus that cannot be replicated at present, and the characteristics of PCR have made researchers focus on virus testing first.
Prior to PCR, direct testing of the virus was very limited, and if you want to test whether a person is infected by the virus – either test the antibodies of an infected person or try to culture a sample.
If there is a suspicion that someone has been infected by influenza or avian influenza, or that a pig is suspected of being infected with swine fever, one of two options is required to verify. If you choose to test an infected person for antibodies, someone may have to be infected for a long time before they can develop antibodies, which is obviously a big cost in the case of avian flu or swine fever.
Then the second method, testing the culture samples, unfortunately, will also take several days – if you can.
Unlike PCR, which does not require culture, it is able to multiply the virus directly and continuously. The purpose of culturing samples is to hope that the virus will multiply on its own, and then test a large number of viruses, PCR directly multiplies the DNA or RNA of the virus, which is simple and easy to do, saving time.
DuPont first saw the prospect of PCR technology, or rather, DuPont first felt the revolutionary power of PCR, and for their own interests, they did not hesitate to take up the weapon of law - the weapon itself is emotionless.
Yang Rui can even find the lawsuit launched by DuPont against Stem from the literature in his mind, because this is a classic case, an example of a small company protecting its own interests and defeating a large company.
The small company mentioned here is Syst, which is publicly listed on the US stock exchange and has a market value of more than 100 million US dollars. Compared to the giant DuPont, it is, of course, a small company.
Even so, Syst spent no less money in the lawsuit.
DuPont sued on the grounds that they believed that the original inventor of PCR technology should be MIT professor and Nobel laureate Horana. As early as 1971, he published a paper on the principles of PCR technology. DuPont therefore provided two papers and a testimony from the Nobel laureate in the seventies.
As a counterpoint, Syst provided the testimonies of two Nobel laureates, which in history is also part of a classic case in which both sides used academic authority as a weapon to prove their arguments, after all, neither lawyers nor judges understand scholarship and can only refer to the opinions of academic authority.
And the appearance fee of a Nobel laureate is very expensive.
The defense lawyer's war of words is also expensive.
If Yang Rui gets Jielikang's dividends, he can afford to pay the appearance fee and hire a lawyer.
DuPont, however, clearly wanted to be a little more trouble-free.
For a while, Yang Rui actually had the feeling of exhaustion.
"Is the problem serious, how can I help?" asked Guo Wei solemnly.
"It's serious. I don't know where to start. Yang Rui was a little dazed.
"Tell me about it. Guo Wei pulled Yang Rui to sit on the sofa and made him hot tea.
Yang Rui thought about it, didn't say too specific content, only said his guess, and said: "DuPont may want my PCR technology, and they cut off the dividends given to me by Jielizen, so that my funds dried up, and then filed a lawsuit...... The cost of litigation in the United States is very high, I don't have money, the lawyer will not help me to fight the lawsuit, and this kind of professional patent litigation, without a lawyer, without a good lawyer and a team of lawyers, it is very difficult to win, and in the end, if they sue successfully, I may have to lose the PCR patent......"
"But PCR was invented by you. ”
"Yes, but to prove it in court, you have to prove it to me by a lawyer, and a good team of lawyers does this kind of thing. Yang Rui's preparation has been done very well, he believes that as long as there is a good lawyer team, he can easily win the lawsuit, but if there is no lawyer team, it is too difficult to win, DuPont does not even have to fight a lawsuit, constantly apply for various injunctions, constantly apply for various legal documents, Yang Rui or the cheap little lawyer Yang Rui hired will be exhausted.
In the end, DuPont didn't have to wait for the court's verdict to be announced, and just dragged Yang Rui to death. Big pharma, or any large multinational corporation, does this kind of thing.
Guo Wei thought calmly, and said for a while: "Speaking of which, it is a lack of money." ”
"There is a lot of money missing. ”
"If you think it's a good deal, then find a way to find money first, but if it doesn't work, ask Peking University or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for help. ”
"We're talking about dollars, where do Peking University and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have the money to help me. Yang Rui smiled bitterly, but he slowly had an idea, "It's not completely impossible." ”
"Where did you say?"
"It's not Peking University or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Yang Rui waved his hand and said almost to himself: "No matter whether DuPont is the mastermind behind the scenes, or what Jielikang thinks, it will not affect my original plan, or find money first, hmm...... Perhaps, the mastermind behind the scenes is DuPont, which is better than Jielizen. ”
Guo Wei asked, "Why?"
"It's hard to say yet, I'm going to give it a try. Yang Rui turned his head to leave, stood up again, and said, "Uncle Guo, today's news is very important, you have to help me keep it secret, and you can't leak it out at all." ”
"Good. ”
"You can't leak it out at all, Frankie is a friend enough, DuPont didn't start a lawsuit, it is estimated that there are some confidentiality preparations, at least not to let the country know, if you help me keep it secret, I will have a little more space to move." Yang Rui explained again and again.
Guo Wei became serious: "I'm tight-lipped, in addition, I will also tell him to study abroad in the UK, don't worry, if he dares to say it, he won't want to take public funds anymore." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Guo. Yang Rui held Guo Wei's hand tightly as if he was parting from the underground party and hurried away.
