Chapter 465 Only by mastering the core technology can we counterattack others
The press conference was held in the hall of the Royal Academy of Sciences.
When Li Donglai and Comrade Zhang arrived, the hall was already filled with reporters. When they saw the two men, the reporters stood up one after another.
"Professor Li, do you think the dishes at yesterday's dinner taste better compared to your Chinese food?"
"Professor Li, what do you think of this trip to Stockholm?"
...
Seeing this scene, the Nobel Prize winners who had already arrived felt unspeakable sorrow in their hearts. When they came in just now, they were not treated like this.
The reporters just asked two perfunctory questions and were no longer interested in them. It can be imagined that the press conference later will be dominated by Li Donglai.
However, those Nobel Prize winners immediately thought that this might make them lazy, and their eyes instantly became kind when they looked at Li Donglai.
Well, scientists and so on hate to be chased and asked questions.
In particular, several of these reporters were annoying and asked a Nobel Prize winner face to face if he was going to marry his girlfriend after receiving the bonus.
Oh my God, everyone knows that the nearly 60-year-old professor is a celibate. Isn’t this kind of question equivalent to throwing the sole of a shoe in his face?
.....
Habib Poulsen, who was in charge of the press conference, saw reporters blocking Li Donglai's path, stood up and walked over to help maintain order.
"Okay, you all know the rules, and hurry back to your respective positions. If you dare to cause trouble, then I can only disqualify you from asking questions."
After hearing this, the reporters returned to their seats angrily. After Habib Poulsen asked Li Donglai to sit down, he glanced around the hall. When his eyes slid over the face of a blond female reporter, he paused for a moment.
I paused for a moment, my heart pounding.
Habib Poulsen remembered that the female reporter’s name was Konya and she was from No Face. When preparing for this press conference, Habib Poulsen considered that the reporters from No Face might cause trouble.
He was thinking of removing Konya from the list. But Faceless Society was quite powerful in Stockholm and had a good relationship with the royal family. After receiving several calls, Habib Poulsen had to ask Konya
An invitation letter was sent.
I hope you will be honest today...
Habib Poulsen coughed twice to signal the reporters to quiet down, and then said loudly: "Before the press conference begins, I hope that all reporters will follow the rules. Only reporters who are called by name can ask questions.
This is also to maintain order, I hope everyone can understand."
"Now I declare that the press conference has officially begun. The first person to take questions is Professor Hans Bethe, the Nobel Prize winner in physics."
Professor Hans Bethe straightened his chest and pointed at a reporter casually, with impatience on his face, as if to say, you hurry up and ask questions, and I can rush to the laboratory as soon as possible after the end.
The reporter from the Oxford Journal did not expect that luck would fall on him. He stood up excitedly and asked: "Professor Hans Bethe, first of all, please allow me to congratulate you on this award."
Professor Hans Bethe: "Please go directly to the topic."
Reporter from the Oxford Journal: "My name is Judith Oberstein. I am from the Oxford Journal and graduated from Oxford University. When you went to Oxford University to lecture, I once attended your lecture. There were many people at the time. It is very likely that you have already
Don’t remember me...Bala, bala...Bala, bala..."
"..." Professor Hans Bethe looked at the chattering reporters, was silent for a moment, and then raised his head to look at Habib Poulsen.
Habib Poulsen couldn't help but raise his forehead. He really couldn't understand why the Oxford Journal hired such a talkative reporter.
Did they decide to make the professors mad enough to steal out-of-print manuscripts from their estates?
As the host of the press conference, Habib Poulsen certainly cannot let the Oxford Journal's "conspiracy" succeed.
Habib Poulsen stood up, looked at the reporter and said: "Um... Judith Oberstein, due to time constraints, please ask your question in a concise and summary manner."
"Ah? I'm so sorry. I'm so excited to be able to ask questions to my idol." Judith Oberstein was a little embarrassed. After adjusting her glasses, she took out a stack of materials from her pocket and rummaged through them hurriedly.
After a while, he looked at the questions above and asked: "Professor, as far as I know, you have completed the last project, so here, can you reveal to us what your next project is?"
"Is it a proton-proton reaction or a carbon-nitrogen cycle?"
Proton-proton reactions and the carbon-nitrogen cycle are all research that Habib Poulsen has been engaged in, and they are also areas where the world has high hopes and the most promising breakthroughs.
"I can't reveal the specific project yet, but I can guarantee that the significance of that project is greater than the two projects combined. If it can make a breakthrough, it may be able to change the current energy status of mankind." Hans Bethe
The professor looked at Li Donglai who was sitting next to him and said in a deep voice.
"...The current situation of energy, professor, are you planning to study nuclear fusion?" Judith Oberstein asked in surprise. She knew that Professor Hans Bethe was an expert in nuclear fusion and had studied nuclear fusion for a long time in his early years.
, but there has been no breakthrough, and if the project can change the current energy situation of mankind, then Professor Hans Bethe’s new project must be nuclear fusion.
"This cannot be revealed yet, but I can tell you clearly that I have got a genius idea from a genius scientist." Professor Hans Bethe said excitedly.
"....Then I wish you success in your project. My question is over. Thank you, Mr. Moderator." Judith Oberstein sat down gently. She had already thought about it and would write an article when she returned to the newspaper office.
Professor Hans Bethe's article about starting to study nuclear fusion, well, such important news will definitely cause a sensation in the academic community and even the public.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "The next person to be asked is..." Habib Poulsen continued to name names.
Most of the reporters' questions to the professors focused on academic aspects and rarely touched on the personal field. After all, the reporters also knew that these old-fashioned professors were not public figures and they always hated having their private lives exposed to the public.
Soon, it was Li Donglai's turn to answer the question. As soon as the microphone was passed to Li Donglai, Konya, who was sitting in the back row, raised his hand.
Li Donglai's eyes swept across her face, as if he didn't see it, and pointed to a reporter in the front row.
"Hello, Professor Li, I am a reporter from the magazine "New Advances in Mathematics". How do you feel about being the first Asian to win the Nobel Prize?"
Li Donglai nodded, his expression became serious, and his eyes were deep: "Of course I feel proud!"
"It is said that many foreign research institutes and universities have extended an olive branch to you and invited you to take up a position. What was your decision?"
"I'm sorry, I won't consider working abroad now, nor will I consider it in the future." Li Donglai didn't hesitate at all.
The reporter was stunned for a moment and then asked: "But as far as I know, your conditions in the East are backward. As a scientist, if you want to continue to climb the peak of science, you will definitely need scientific research equipment and a superior scientific research environment. These are things that the East cannot
Provided. Why do you insist on staying in the East?"
Li Donglai chuckled and said: "Because that is my home! There is an old saying in the East, which is that a son does not think his mother is ugly, and a dog does not think the family is poor. It is true that after a huge war, we in the East have experienced a huge war after the war.
The country is devastated, and its material conditions may not be as good as those abroad. But we are confident that through our unremitting efforts, we can catch up with, and even surpass, foreign countries."
As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted in the hall, and the reporters present were all moved by Li Donglai's noble sentiments.
Except for Konya in the back row.
Seeing that Li Donglai was still reluctant to call her name, she stood up and asked loudly, regardless of breaking the rules: "Doctor Li, do you dare to answer my question?"
The one who was most surprised by Konya's sudden revolt was not Li Donglai, but Habib Poulsen. As the host of the press conference, he could not tolerate anyone who dared to violate the rules he set.
"Miss Konya, please sit down. Only reporters whose names are called can ask questions."
Li Donglai waved his hand: "Mr. Habib Poulsen, since this reporter is so anxious to ask questions, let her tell her questions."
He knew that as the representative of the Faceless Society, Konya's questions were definitely meant to make things difficult for him, but it was also a good opportunity for the reporters present to see the true face of the Faceless Society.
Habib Poulsen did not expect that Li Donglai would agree. He looked at Li Donglai with worried eyes, then looked at Konya, and warned seriously: "Miss Konya, please pay attention when asking questions.
boundaries.”
"Of course!" Miss Konya smiled arrogantly: "Isn't it just that you can't ask questions related to personal feelings? Anyway, Professor Li is a moral model when it comes to personal feelings. There is nothing that can arouse my interest.
"
If you want to discredit someone, the easiest place to start is with personal emotions.
It is human to make mistakes, especially a great scholar like Li Donglai, who will definitely be admired by many young girls.
If one loses control, a lot of bad things will happen.
As long as these shabby things can be exposed, Li Donglai can be ruined.
Especially a while ago, didn't Li Donglai have an affair with the Stockholm princess?
Unfortunately, Konya spent a lot of money to hire a large number of private detectives to investigate, but no evidence was found.
Konya knew that the matter concerned the Princess of Stockholm, and if he published it casually without real evidence, it would cause big trouble for her and even the newspaper.
In the end I had no choice but to give up.
However, she had already thought of several good questions, enough to embarrass Professor Li.
Konya calmed his expression, took out the questions he had prepared long ago, and asked loudly: "Everyone must know that Professor Li won the Nobel Prize for his invention of the second-generation cephalosporin, which saved countless patients."
"I just don't understand why the price of second-generation cephalosporins in North America is as high as US$5 per pill, while in the East it is only US$0.1 per pill. The price difference is as high as five hundred times!"
"Can we say that Professor Li discriminates against our North American patients and deliberately raises the price?"
"Professor Li, please answer my question."
The reporters in the hall couldn't help but frowned when they heard this question. The price difference was five hundred times. If there was no suitable reason, Li Donglai would be in trouble this time.
Even Habib Poulsen looked at me with concern and whispered: "Professor Li, you don't need to answer this question."
"It doesn't matter." Li Donglai waved his hand and stared directly at Konya: "This reporter may have misunderstood one thing. We do not discriminate against anyone. The selling price of medicines in North America is the normal selling price, and
The reason why domestic prices are cheap is because we subsidize the price of drugs."
It's normal for overseas prices to be expensive.
Domestic prices are cheaper because of subsidies.
Even the most picky person would not be able to find any flaws in it, but Konya is a senior reporter and is best at finding loopholes in the interviewee's words.
She stared at Li Donglai and asked: "Since it is a subsidy, why can't you also subsidize foreign countries? Why do you have to watch those patients live in pain? As a medical scientist, don't you have any kindness?
?"
What does it mean to deliberately find fault with, this is it!
Li Donglai looked calm: "I'm sorry, we develop and produce drugs ourselves, and we have the right to set prices and subsidize them."
"Also, your so-called suggestion of selling at reduced prices to benefit the public, I suggest you pass it on to Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Desert East, and Eli Lilly. For example, Eli Lilly's first-generation cephalosporins are sold in our country for as much as
10 dollars, your shameless reporters never seemed to think that they were deliberately ignoring patients, but instead repeatedly used research and development costs as an excuse to defend them."
"What is a double standard? What you just did is a double standard!"
"boom!"
As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly burst into excitement. These scientists from all over the world had long been dissatisfied with the practices of the No Face Society. It was just that the No Face Society was so powerful that they dared not speak out, but now they heard that Li Donglai was directly poking at them.
They couldn't bear it any longer to break the Faceless Society's conspiracy.
"You...you..." Konya didn't expect that his carefully prepared questions would not only fail to stump Li Donglai, but Li Donglai would instead take the opportunity to scold him.
Li Donglai looked calm: "Miss Konya, do you have any questions?"
"....without..."
Konya sat down awkwardly under the mocking gaze.
Khabib Poulsen secretly gave Li Donglai a thumbs up, as if to say, you can do it.
Li Donglai chuckled.
He knew that the reason why he was able to defeat the reporters from Shameless News Agency was not just by being reasonable.
More importantly, China controls all the patents and exclusive production technologies of second-generation cephalosporins. If No Face Society dares to make the matter bigger, it will dare to cut off the shipment of drugs to North America.
Only by mastering the core technology can we counterattack others!
