Chapter 110 Too Big
In the final experiment stage, Wu Chenyuan and his elite team burst out with a long-lost passion, translated a large amount of foreign information and quoted classics, and argued with Jielikang Company.
Frank once adopted various odd-minded methods, including bribing members of the negotiation team and borrowing senior cadres from the Ministry of Health to put pressure on them, but Wu Chenyuan was pushed back.
Yang Rui, who was watching coldly, couldn't help but feel a little admiration at this time. Thinking about it carefully, Wu Chenyuan and others were really under pressure, including those from the upper class, some from colleagues, some from negotiating opponents, and some from partners like him. If you change a group of people, you may not be able to do this.
Not every negotiating team can stand Yang Rui's pressing step by step alone. If you can't help it, you will inevitably have the possibility of breaking up.
In this way, it was Wu Chenyuan's team's strength that led to the final conclusion of the negotiations and also safeguarded Yang Rui's interests. Otherwise, the outcome would be unpredictable for Yang Rui and Jielikang Company to negotiate directly.
On the other hand, apart from the official addiction of the turmoil, Wu Chenyuan actually didn't gain much. To be precise, Wu Chenyuan was not negotiating for personal interests, but was truly fulfilling his responsibilities.
It is really not easy for officials who can do this.
In contrast, the businessmen's disadvantages of Frank and others were fully exposed in the subsequent negotiations. Although there were many members of their negotiating team, not many could participate in the negotiations all day long, and fewer could sustain their energy. Not to mention the professional level of translation, the persistence at the negotiating table was far from comparable to that of China.
Simply put, when they sell integrity, they do not have the cheapest selling of the Chinese side, and when they want to set up a arch, they do not have the high position of the Chinese side.
One week later.
The agreement negotiations are gradually becoming clear.
Members of Frank's delegation invited Yang Rui to conduct reproducible experiments. This time, they sent more equipment and directly set up the organ biochemical workshop of Xibao Meat Connection Factory.
The Xibao Meat Union Factory was also facing a great enemy and prepared a 3-ton dry pig heart.
If the factory-based reproduction experiment can be successful, signing the contract will be a foregone conclusion.
In order to prepare for this factory experiment, Jielikang Company purchased equipment worth US$200,000 in advance and sent it directly from Tianjin Port to Xibao Town.
If negotiations fail, these equipment will naturally be sent back. However, investing in advance is also an attitude. Reproducing factory-based experiments is more like verification than investigation.
For this reason, the UK headquarters of Jellycon transferred their visit to West Fort Town from Tianjin. This former professor at Sheffield University, named Trapp, was at the top of the academic community, and then chose a company with higher income.
Many professors who do basic research will encounter serious economic crises when they are middle-aged. Their annual income is often the same as those of blue-collar workers who are 10 years younger than themselves. In order to get rid of the economic crisis, they are more to solve the increasingly serious family economic problems. Many biology professors who have the opportunity to change careers will choose to enter pharmaceutical companies.
In terms of pure income, senior technical officials in pharmaceutical companies receive more than 5 times the salary of the school, and it is not uncommon for those with great success to get ten times.
However, entering a pharmaceutical company usually means no longer continuing basic research, which is not necessarily a happy decision for professors who have been doing similar projects for half their lives.
Before the 1980s, most European and American researchers were content with poverty, just like Chinese researchers. However, the United States and Europe in the Reagan era gradually became utilitarian and monetary. The principle of social evaluation of successful people also became whether they could make money, rather than social contributions.
It can be said that since the 1980s, the vulgarization of social values that have occurred in China is not unique to China, but is global.
In the 1960s or 1970s, if there were international biology research conferences, old friends who attended the meeting would talk about their experiments and theories, and not much about laboratory conditions and income and salary. However, in the 1980s, the situation was reversed, and old friends were always talking about laboratory conditions and salary. They seemed to prove success better than experiments and theories, or the importance of laboratory conditions and salary gradually exceeded the value of pure theory.
Trapp's chief technology officer still maintained the rigor of being a professor. After seeing Yang Rui's experimental preparation and experimental design, he checked the equipment he installed, and then left the organ biochemical workshop and let Yang Rui and his experimental assistant operate it themselves.
Nearly a hundred pages of translated documents do not seem easy, and Trapp can be regarded as conscientious and responsible.
What interested him more was obviously Yang Rui himself. A middle school student who was able to write academic articles is not rare worldwide. There are many precocious teenagers in every country. However, it is obviously very rare for a teenager to help engineers install advanced equipment after reading the manual. Because this is more of an experience problem.
Trapp asked a lot of questions, and got relatively satisfactory, but not really satisfactory answers.
I think it is only in this way that Trapp can regain the professor's sense of happiness.
He Haichuan and Ning Min of Xibao Meat Connection Factory also entered the organ biochemical workshop to help Yang Rui manipulate a large number of large equipment. Of course, it is said that it is a large device with a capacity of dozens of liters at most. Biopharmaceutical companies in the 1980s generally had low processing capabilities.
When they listened to the conversation between Yang Rui and Trapp, they basically felt like listening to the book of heaven, and it was the same with the help of the translation. At the beginning of the experiment, the two still did not understand the entire cycle operation system, and could only do some part of the work like He Cheng and Yao Chi.
The production line of coenzyme q10 designed by Yang Rui requires 10 workers. Now he has 5 of them. Although it is only half of the total, it is barely enough.
This kind of operational efficiency is exactly what the British value. They are impatient to manage a large number of workers. The combination of ten workers and one full-time cadre is very in line with their expectations.
The Xibao Meat Converged Factory is not important. From the bottom of my heart, they actually hope to increase the number of workers, so that there will be more staffing. But on the other hand, they are responsible for the tasks of workers training and worker management in pharmaceutical factories. The more workers there are, the more pressure it is.
The original Xibao Meat Connection Factory organ biochemical workshop was a team of more than 20 people. Now 10 people are assigned to come out, so they don’t have to worry about anything.
In this way, the management is quite happy that Xibao Meat Converged Factory has obtained shares in the pharmaceutical factory for nothing.
As for the land and factory, for a factory of a sub-department level, it is equivalent to not paying. In the huge Xibao Town, there is no factory of this size, and the current land is allocated. Except for some brick and tile labor, they can have as many factories as they want.
However, the brand new biopharmaceutical factory is quite new to Xibao Meat Converged Factory, and many people gathered outside the original biochemical pharmaceutical workshop and visited with big eyes.
Two days later, the 3-ton dried pig heart was consumed completely.
Nearly 1 kilogram of coenzyme q10 was also presented to everyone with the crystallization of large particles.
"Have you weighed it?" Franky asked rubbed his hands.
"980 grams, close to one kilogram." Yang Rui took off the mask and took off his protective suit with the help of his assistant.
Franke silently calculated his mind, nodded repeatedly, and said, "The yield is indeed very high, Mr. Trapp, Professor Trapp?"
Trapp looked down at Jing Jing, as if he hadn't heard Franke say anything at all.
Frankie had to pat him gently.
Trapp took a breath, dusted his shoulders with his hands, but turned his head to Yang Rui and asked, "Are you sure this is coenzyme q10?"
"High purity crystals, very certain." Yang Rui looked at Trapp in confusion.
Trapp said "Oh" and slowly put on gloves, then used tweezers to pick up a coenzyme q10 particle, placed it under a magnifying glass with a big face, and tossed and turned to observe.
Yang Rui looked down at the tray. The crystal particles of Coenzyme q10 were relatively uniform, similar to those of two or three decades of diamonds. The overall appearance was orange-yellow and had a slight luster.
"It should be no problem?" Yang Rui was quite puzzled by Trapp's actions.
The latter had no time to explain. While observing the crystals, he drew pictures on paper. After doing these, he dissolved the fine particles on the spot and began to use an ultraviolet spectrophotometer to calculate the content of Coenzyme q10.
Everyone had to wait patiently. After all, Trapp is the most authoritative guy at present.
With the help of the new instrument, the final result quickly emerged.
The concentration of Coenzyme q10 is actually higher than expected before the experiment.
Seeing this answer, Wu Chenyuan first had the confidence and asked sternly instead of Yang Ruiyi: "Mr. Trapp, there is no problem with our coenzyme q10."
"No, no, just..." With the help of the translator, Trapp thought for a long time and said, "It's... too big!"
"Too big?" Wu Chenyuan didn't understand at all.
But Trapp looked at the tray on the table with his eyes glowing and said, "I have never seen it, and I have never seen it. It's so beautifully grown q10 crystal... it's so... unbelievable. Is this the new process? It's so worth it, so worth it."
Frankie was both happy and depressed: If you say this, how can we talk about it next?
Wu Chenyuan waited for the translator to say it and asked again, and then he realized what Trapp was saying. He looked at Yang Rui inexplicably and asked in a timely manner: "Mr. Trapp, please explain in detail, is there anything special about this crystal?"
"Under the current process conditions, the crystals of Coenzyme q10 we made should be closer to the powder. Generally speaking, it is a yellow platelet powder and will not have such a beautiful luster. Oh, the luster of this crystal is so wonderful, like a gem..." Trapp said endlessly, and the tweezers were holding a crystal of Coenzyme q10, looking over and over again.
After listening to his explanation, Yang Rui realized that although he had only adopted advanced technology for a few years, this comprehensive technological transcendence not only improves productivity, but also quality, but also comprehensive improvement.
Biotechnology in this era is developing too fast.
"When you have your own company in the future, you will probably have to use the technology from the late 1980s to create an overwhelming technical advantage." Yang Rui thought so, and felt a little proud. With the technology he mastered, if it was more powerful, he would probably scare Trapp to death.
Only people in the industry know that advanced technology is rare.
Yang Rui thought of this and said, "I did some processing to give the crystal nucleus time to grow. After signing the contract, you should be able to see relevant technical instructions."
In one sentence, Trapp focused his attention on Franky.
"Mr. Franky, let's continue talking." Wu Chenyuan stretched out his hand and made a call.
Frankie looked at Yang Rui with a wry smile and raised his thumbs up.
Trapp didn't care about them, and when the negotiating group left, he simply moved a stool and sat in front of the tray, holding the crystals of coenzyme q10 one by one, and arranged them in order from large to small.
