In fact, when Gibson and Sherwood knew about the joint project between Beijing Forestry College and Peking University, they could not help but crossed their legs.

"The two universities have joined forces?" Sherwood repeated the message sent by Manager Xiao, a little scared.

Gibson asked: "Peking University is the best university in China, right? Where is Beijing Forestry College?"

"The best universities in China are Peking University, Tsinghua University, Renmin University and China University of Science and Technology... Beijing Forestry College is a medium-sized university, after all, it is in Beijing." Manager Xiao explained as much as possible...

"A medium-sized college, like Brown University?"

“I don’t know what Brown University is like…”

"It's OK, anyway, it's not a community college, right?"

"Of course, Beijing Forestry College is a regular university, either directly under the Ministry of Education, or a university of the Ministry of Forestry."

Gibson heard the Ministry of Education and Forestry, his face was slightly darker and asked, "Is the Chinese government involved?"

Some of Manager Xiao’s job is to explain the China issue. He thought for a while before he said to two technical foreigners: “The Chinese government is a general concept. Peking University and Beijing Forestry College are also under the jurisdiction of the Chinese government, but they are not under the jurisdiction of the same department. Similarly, COFCO, which you are more familiar with, also has its jurisdiction. If you are going abroad to negotiate, you can also think that they represent the Chinese government. But in China, we generally default to the central government as the Chinese government... So, in China, it is very important to clarify the jurisdiction of different units. I don’t think the Chinese central government will participate in this matter. If they want to express their opinions, we have no chance to talk at all.”

"So, what unit in China is participating now?"

"Maybe it's just an academic activity of two schools?" Manager Xiao's guess was quite accurate.

Gibson shook his head: "Yang Rui even rejected my offer of $30,000. Do you think it would be a personal behavior?"

"This... is hard to say." If it weren't for this, Manager Xiao would have spoken more certainly. However, as a high-income foreign company employee, especially a high-income foreign company employee in Europe and the United States, Manager Xiao could hardly imagine that Yang Rui would refuse the offer of $30,000?

In Coca-Cola, Manager Xiao can earn more than 2,000 yuan a month, which is close to 10 times the salary of ordinary people. If the bonus is included, it will definitely exceed the salary of ordinary people twenty times.

However, if you ask yourself, Manager Xiao doesn't feel that he can resist the temptation of $30,000.

"Don't Chinese officials like to take some benefits? I mean, at least some Chinese officials I heard of likes these things, is Yang Rui an exception?" Gibson asked.

Manager Xiao’s expression was a bit bad, but he still replied: “Maybe he is younger.”

"You can write CELL if you are younger?" Sherwood laughed: "Believe me, there are absolutely no idiots who can write CELL."

"Should we report to the higher authorities?" Gibson had long felt that the situation was beyond control.

Sherwood remained silent. If he reported, the two of them would definitely be responsible.

"Let's think of another way, wait... for another week." Sherwood wanted to struggle and said, "I know a few friends. I heard that Yang Rui and Jielikang have a good relationship. I'll see if I can contact Yang Rui through them."

Both Gibson and Manager Xiao were full of worries, but Sherwood was the technical director of the factory and often attended gatherings of technicians in China, and it was not completely unavailable.

This search took only one week.

During this period, Gibson sent Coca-Cola twice to Yang Rui. There was no way, as a foreigner, he was too easy to be noticed and could only express his thoughts through others.

Yang Rui should drink, eat, and do research. He did not take Coca-Cola seriously. Originally, this was done casually.

However, the lab members were very happy. Later, not only Tang Ji Laboratory, but also Huarui Laboratory members, but also from the next laboratory, could occasionally benefit from it.

The cost of giving them one bottle per person is too high. Liang Jinrong, who occupied a temporary piece of land in Tangji Laboratory, took a large aluminum alloy tray like a gift of wine, and put two or three bottles of Coca-Cola on it, and a circle of cups, which looked good and was enough to send ten people to the laboratory.

Liang Jinrong's progress was also very fast. A group of mice drank Coke in the morning, afternoon, and evening every day. They were so happy that everyone in the laboratory was envious.

Of course, mice also have unhappy times. They have to weigh and measure their food every day. The worst thing is to intermittently take the eyeballs to get blood to separate serum and measure the testosterone in male mice and the estradiol levels in female mice.

As an experimental animal, this is an inevitable fate. Liang Jinrong usually lets his eldest disciples take action personally and directly kill mice by twisting their spine. The whole process is not painful.

A week later, the statistical data of the experiment changed, but it was not consistent with what Yang Rui expected.

"We found that the serum testosterone levels in male mice given Coca-Cola showed an increase in comparison with the control group." Liang Jinrong said, paused and said, "However, the statistical difference has not yet been reached."

"Serum testosterone increases, not decreases? Let's take a look." Yang Rui's memory of foreign experiments came to the conclusion that serum testosterone levels decreased.

Testosterone is a male hormone. For adults, it has the effect of maintaining sexual desire and frequency. In addition, it also has the effect of maintaining muscle strength and mass and maintaining bone density and strength. For a person, the latter is actually more important. In addition, testosterone also has the effect of improving physical fitness. Some athletes use testosterone before the game to intensify their physical condition. Of course, most sports events in later generations have designated testosterone as a banned drug, but not all.

However, just like most substances in the human body, human research on testosterone is only on the surface, and its biochemical process has not been clarified until 30 years later. However, because of this, any product that affects the content of testosterone should be very cautious.

Because of this, Liang Jinrong's expression was quite excited and said, "There are relatively few experimental cases now and the observation time is relatively short, so no statistical difference has been found, but I think it is very promising to continue..."

"Why does testosterone increase?" Yang Rui said to himself strangely. If the testosterone level increases, Coca-Cola has become a panacea. It is used as an aphrodisiac in the mouth. It can kill sperm externally - the saying that Cola can kill sperm is also very popular abroad. However, unlike the saying circulating in China, foreigners' cola method of killing sperm is external, especially in South America in the 1960s and 1970s. When there were no condoms and contraceptives, the great South American people shook the cola bottle hard and put it in the right place. The strong cola liquid will be sprayed into the right place. If Cola can kill sperm, this is an excellent method of contraception afterwards. However, later studies have proved that this is useless.

The cola that kills sperm has no use, and the cola that can be used as an aphrodisiac must not exist. Yang Rui began to look at the records from the beginning, and then laughed after reading two pages.

"What's wrong?" Liang Jinrong thought something was wrong.

Yang Rui shook his head and said, "Do you use young mice?"

"Yes." Liang Jinrong nodded heavily and said: "Testosterone is a sex hormone. If it is finally proven that cola will increase testosterone levels, it means that drinking cola for a long time may lead to premature puberty in adolescents..."

Sun Ruyue, who was drinking Coke leisurely and listening to them analyzing the problems, silently put down the Coke.

Wang Yaowu next to him snatched him, gave him a mouthful, and looked at Sun Ruyue with contempt: "You are the only one who is like this, or a teenager?"

Sun Ruyue was silent.

Liang Jinrong took the opportunity to say: "Yang Rui, if you want to produce data, you have to increase the number of guinea pigs."

As the guinea pigs increase, various investments and testing costs will also increase.

However, Yang Rui nodded without thinking about it. Anyway, someone will pay the bill later.
