As Li Donglai entered, the laboratory suddenly became quiet.
Zhang Qingcui also breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and introduced to the medical representatives in the audience: "Everyone, this is Comrade Li Donglai, the director of our steel rolling mill laboratory!"
Young, too young, this was the first thought of the medical representatives after seeing Li Donglai.
Although they had done enough homework before coming here and knew Li Donglai's age, after meeting the real person and thinking about the many achievements he had made, it was still inevitable that they would have such thoughts.
He was so shocked that the scene fell silent.
Li Donglai didn't expect such a scene to happen. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Are you a little disappointed that I don't have three heads and six arms?"
After hearing this, the medical representatives reacted and said in broken Chinese: "Director Li, you really know how to joke."
"Yes, if you really look like a monster, we people will be very happy. If we catch you back to the laboratory, we might get a large reward."
"Yeah yeah."
These jokes sound lame, but what Zhang Qingcui cares about is not this, but that all these guys can speak Chinese, although their accents are varied. The blond one obviously has a Northeastern old corn accent, and the younger one can speak Chinese.
They have a southern Jiangsu accent, and the guy named Zhou has a coastal accent, but they both speak skillfully and can express their meaning accurately.
It seemed that these guys were really prepared. Zhang Qingcui could not help but feel a cold sweat in her heart for Li Donglai.
After the laughter, Li Donglai stopped talking and said directly: "Everyone is very busy, so let's make a long story short. Now our steel rolling mill laboratory intends to transfer the patent use rights of triple vaccine technology. If you are interested, you can bid directly.
"
After the words fell, the medical representatives were instantly confused.
According to the general process, Li Donglai should now explain clearly on behalf of the rolling mill laboratory the advancement of the triple vaccine technology and how big the market is. Then these people will start to evaluate the price and finally make a bid. How can there be a direct bid?
This is not selling Chinese cabbage.
However, after several people looked at each other, Professor Smith from MSD was the first to raise his hand: "Director Li, since you said so, we will use a Chinese saying that we will handle this matter as we please. After our MSD
After careful and rigorous evaluation, we believe that your triple vaccine technology is worth two million US dollars. Of course, if you can sell all the vaccine technology patents, our company can pay a price of five million US dollars."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the medical representatives from those companies changed.
Just now, several people had quietly discussed and reached a vague price, that is, the bid could not exceed one million US dollars, and the steel rolling mill laboratory could not take advantage.
But I didn't expect that as soon as the bid was made, Merck would become a traitor.
The U.S. dollar in these days was linked to gold. Two million U.S. dollars was almost equivalent to 20 million U.S. dollars in later generations. This price was considered sky-high even in the international world.
After Professor Smith quoted the price, he was always feeling proud. You guys haven't realized the true usefulness of the triple vaccine. This time, I beat you to it. After you get it, you will definitely get a promotion and a salary increase when you go back. Well,
Merck has always been generous to those medical representatives who have made contributions, and may even give him two months of paid leave.
But Li Donglai's words directly broke his beautiful fantasy.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Smith, I think our triple vaccine technology is worth far more than two million US dollars. I hope you can requote it."
As soon as these words came out, Smith's expression suddenly changed, and he began to murmur in his heart. Could it be that the Nobel Prize winner in front of him also figured out the true use of triple vaccine technology?
He began to hesitate. The price of two million US dollars this time was already his maximum authority.
The remaining medical representatives of the vaccine companies also saw a clue in Smith's solemn expression.
As medical representatives, they have a deep understanding of vaccine technology. In addition, they had done enough homework before coming to China. At this time, they realized that there must be secrets behind the triple vaccine technology.
Otherwise Merck would not pay such a high price.
Regardless of how wealthy these vaccine companies are, they actually value every penny spent and will never let any penny go to waste.
Professor Smith had already thought about it clearly and decided to take a gamble.
"Director Li, I'm sorry, this is our final offer from MSD. If you don't agree, MSD will withdraw from this competition."
"Really?" Li Donglai's face did not have the panic he expected, but instead put on a faint smile: "In this case... everyone seems to be hungry, our steel rolling mill laboratory
There are all kinds of delicious meals in the cafeteria, you can go and enjoy them."
The medical representatives looked at the time and realized that it was noon before they knew it. Although they thought this might be another conspiracy of this cunning guy, the feeling of being hungry was not pleasant.
Just like that, a negotiation meeting was suspended after just ten minutes.
Under the guidance of Zhang Qingcui, the medical representatives arrived at the cafeteria of the steel rolling mill laboratory. It was lunch time and it was crowded with researchers eating and employees of the steel rolling mill laboratory.
Although everyone has long been accustomed to the appearance of gringos because of Buffett's presence, the presence of four or five gringos at one time still attracted a lot of attention.
"Tsk, red hair, this is the first time in my life that I have seen someone with red hair."
"Look at that guy's nose. It's like an eagle's mouth. It's so ugly."
"Yeah, there are also black-haired gringos."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "What a gringo, that guy is obviously Chinese."
....
During the discussion, the medical representatives felt what it was like to be surrounded by animals.
However, they were all people who had seen big events, so they didn't feel shy or embarrassed.
But what happened next made them break through.
There is also a chain of contempt among medical representatives. Generally speaking, medical representatives of companies with high market value tend to look down on those with low market value, and these days Merck is the leader in the pharmaceutical industry.
Professor Smith has now become a leader among medical representatives.
He walked around in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the cooking and meals, smelling the fragrant smell of the food, and his mouth was watering.
When he was in North America, Professor Smith was particularly fond of Chinese food. Compared with Chinese food, the most delicious burgers were just steamed buns with meat.
He felt his stomach growling, and he eagerly pointed to the pot of vegetables: "Here comes this, this, and that..."
The person in charge of serving food in the cafeteria today was Chef Nan Yi. Instead of serving food, he frowned.
"Comrade... No... Sir, if you want to eat food or eat, you have to pay your meal ticket first. Do you know about the meal ticket?"
"Meal tickets...that's money, right?" Professor Smith scratched his head and turned to look at Zhang Qingcui: "Comrade receptionist, we are here to negotiate with your steel rolling mill laboratory. Do we still need to spend money for meals?
?”
Zhang Qingcui was completely confused by these words. In fact, Li Donglai did not explain the problem of eating. It seems that Li Donglai was so busy these days, how could he pay attention to such small things.
Whether it should be free or not is a big question and involves the principle of reception.
Finally, Zhang Qingcui remembered Li Donglai's advice and made a decision: "Mr. Smith, although you are here to negotiate and may purchase our technology, the fees you paid are for purchasing technology and have nothing to do with these meals.
I think in North America, if you want to get food from others, you also need to pay money?"
Fortunately, there is no zero-dollar shopping in North America these days, otherwise Professor Smith would have scolded her.
However, Professor Smith was still very depressed.
In his opinion, once this agreement is reached, the rolling mill laboratory will receive at least millions of dollars, and it should not care about these meals.
However, there is no other way. People under the eaves have to bow their heads.
"Money, right? I heard that prices in your mainland are relatively low. Twenty dollars here should be enough. No need to change the extra money. Just treat it as a tip for you." Professor Smith took out twenty dollars from his pocket.
Dollars handed to Nanyi.
Nan Yi looked troubled.
"What's wrong, isn't it enough? You don't want us to be taken advantage of, right?"
Good guy, why do I feel so weird when I hear the word "taken advantage of" from a foreigner's mouth?
If it were anyone else, he would have explained it carefully to the other party at this time, but Nan Yi was born with a stubborn temper. He picked up a rice spoon and banged the vegetable basin: "Sir, money is useless here! We need food.
Do you know about tickets and meal tickets? They are the tickets distributed to workers in the steel rolling mill every month."
Before coming to the Mainland, Professor Smith specially invited a few people who were familiar with the situation in the Mainland and studied with them for more than a month. Naturally, he knew the distribution system in the Mainland and knew about meal stamps.
but.
He doesn't have that kind of stuff.
He felt as if the dollars in his hand had turned into a pile of waste paper.
Zhang Qingcui couldn't laugh or cry when she saw this situation. She secretly sighed at Nan Yi's stubbornness. After all, he was a customer of the steel rolling mill. He had already paid the money, so you just accepted it.
However, she also knew Nan Yi's temperament. After thinking for a while, she took out a few meal tickets from her pocket and handed them to Nan Yi: "Master Nan, these are the meal tickets for these gentlemen. You can just pay for them."
After getting the meal tickets, Nanyi found a few aluminum lunch boxes and served meals to several people.
Professor Smith was originally angry because Nan Yi deliberately made things difficult for others. He picked up a piece of radish and stuffed it into his mouth. He immediately let out a series of praises: "It's so delicious. How can there be such delicious radish in the world!"
When they heard this, the medical representatives didn't believe it at first. They were joking. As medical representatives, they often attended various high-end banquets and tasted delicacies from all over the world.
No matter how delicious a radish is, it's just a radish.
With a special attitude of doubt, they picked up the radish vegetables and stuffed them into their mouths, and the disapproving expressions on their faces suddenly solidified.
Is this really a radish? How can there be such a delicious radish in the world?
At this time, Zhang Qingcui also came over with rice. Seeing the appearance of several people, she felt a little strange. She also picked up a chopstick and put radish vegetables into her mouth.
"It tastes the same as yesterday, nothing special."
Professor Smith: "..."
Medical representatives: “…”
A simple carrot dish tasted like a royal dish. After eating and drinking, Professor Smith rubbed his belly and walked to the window.
At this time, Nan Yi was leading two apprentices to clean the window. Seeing Smith standing there with a blank look on his face, he said coldly: "You haven't eaten enough yet. There are still two wowotou here, but you still have to
Give me the meal ticket first."
"No, no... Mr. Chef, can I take the liberty to ask, how much salary can you get every month now?" Professor Smith smiled.
Nan Yi had finished his work now. He straightened up and threw the towel on the table. He beat his aching waist and said, "Salary? Let me think about it..."
Good guy, is this guy's salary too high to count? But this is normal. For such a great chef, no matter how high the salary is, it is not an exaggeration.
Nan Yi didn't know that his actions had misunderstood Professor Smith opposite him. The reason why he couldn't remember the amount of his salary was very simple. That is, when the salary was paid every month, Liang Ladi helped him collect the salary, and then
Give him only 2 yuan of pocket money every month.
However, this did not trouble Nan Yi. He quickly figured it out: "I am now a level 7 chef, and my monthly salary is 47 yuan."
"Hiss... forty-seven yuan, or RMB..." Professor Smith took a breath.
"Isn't it a lot? Our laboratory also has subsidies. After all, we can get fifty yuan a month!" Nan Yi was a little proud.
"..." Professor Smith couldn't believe his ears.
In North America, even the poorest cook can earn twenty times more than Nan Yi.
But this is just fine.
Professor Smith smiled and said: "Comrade Chef, how about you follow me abroad? I will give you a salary of five thousand US dollars every month, and I will also help you arrange a place to stay, so that you can enjoy all the benefits of our Merck company.
"
Five thousand US dollars in that year was a huge amount of money, and it was an astronomical sum for the country.
After the words came out of his mouth, Professor Smith saw Nan Yi's confused look and seemed to realize his mistake, and quickly added: "Five thousand US dollars is equivalent to more than 40,000 RMB."
"No..." Nan Yi frowned and looked at Professor Smith up and down: "I am a good cook, why do I want to go abroad with you? Is it just to cook for you?"
Those who don't know much about Nanyi may think that this guy is really stupid. He doesn't take a salary of more than 40,000 yuan and would rather take 50 yuan a month.
But for Nan Yi, he is now a cook in the laboratory of the steel rolling mill. He does not spend money on food or accommodation. If he gets sick, the laboratory will take care of him. More importantly, he also has Liang Ladi.
, has four children.
Under such circumstances, giving up everything and going overseas would be a fool's errand.
