"Is this the International Conference on Medical Bioengineering?" Huang Mao stabbed a paper clip into his chest and looked at the red banner hanging in the corridor with regret.

It does say "International Conference on Medical Bioengineering" on the banner, but in the corridor opposite the banner, there is a banner of "International Conference on Geosciences", which immediately reduces the style of the so-called international conference.

The staff who handed out the name plates to the participants saw Huang Mao's expression. At this time, they just laughed and said, "it's the busiest time of the year. No hotel can book a room. We just share the hotel with the geological society. Some hotels have five or six conferences at the same time."

"So it's rare for two conferences to be held together, isn't it?" Huang Mao is helpless.

The staff who distributed the name plates nodded naturally and said, "there are only a few foreign hotels in Beijing. There are many hotels in the city applying for it. They don't approve it. There's no way, right?"

If it is not for foreign hotels, foreigners will not be allowed to stay, so international conferences will not be held.

In the 1980s, there were many international conferences. On the one hand, China actively invited them. On the other hand, foreigners really wanted to come to China for meetings. Because China has just opened up, foreigners have never been to China. Those foreign friends who have been to Egypt, Italy and Kenya also want to find a chance to visit China, Compared with the trouble of applying for tourist visa, it is more convenient to come to China to hold international conferences.

In addition to the scientific conferences that are justified, the conferences that are not justified are often held in China, such as business conferences, MLM group meetings, or even small associations with no reason. They are willing to take the opportunity to visit Beijing.

This is the reason why we have a meeting with the Chinese and go to Huangshan, Lushan and Beidaihe.

The International Conference on Medical Bioengineering is quite a powerful international conference. Only when foreign trade of Chinese medicine comes forward can we get half of the conference in Xiangshan Hotel.

Yang Rui and Huang Mao hang up their nameplates, cross the corridor and arrive at the West Building of Xiangshan Hotel. The conference hall is all around.

There are not only the main conference room which can accommodate hundreds of people, but also the small conference rooms scattered around. Outside each conference room, there are big posters, which write the time arrangement of this conference room in the next few days, usually one or two report meetings in the morning, one or two report meetings in the afternoon, and free activities in the evening.

Unlike Chinese style conferences, this kind of academic conference prefers the closing ceremony to the opening ceremony.

At this session, the opening ceremony was even cancelled, with one person, one book schedule and list of papers. The schedule is the time of each conference, and the list of papers is the papers that will be presented in each conference.

If you are interested in a report, you can go to the service station to ask for the paper. Of course, you can also go to the site to collect it during the speech.

This model has more freedom and less concentration, which makes many Chinese at a loss.

Huang Mao also can not help but evaluate: "this is really can not highlight the key point."

"I think it's very good. You can go to the report meeting in any field you like to save time." Yang Rui is actually used to this kind of report meeting.

"Isn't it that some rooms can't hold people, some rooms are empty?"

"It's better than listening to a report you don't want to hear." Although we are all engaged in biology, this field is huge. Some people can't understand what others say, and it is very likely that it will happen.

"I think it's too nervous. I can extend the time for a few days. It's not as tight as the arrangement of one report meeting. There are at least four or five reports at the same time. I can't finish listening to them." Huang Mao cherished this opportunity and was not happy with the arrangement of the organizer. He entered as a visitor. The organizing committee didn't arrange rooms for him or fixed places for him. Of course, he didn't have to participate in fixed programs. This is Huang Mao's application through Peking University. It is also because he is the second author of the speech paper that he can get such a name plate. However, as far as the qualification is concerned, the identity of the visitor is useless.

Yang Rui took Huang Mao into the corridor and asked, "haven't you ever studied abroad? Have you ever been to an international conference abroad? "

"Where can I go? The competition of foreign laboratories is more fierce." Huang Mao looked around curiously, and then continued to look down for the report he was interested in.

……

Yang Rui's report was scheduled for the afternoon of the next day.

This is not a good time. The location of the conference hall is narrow, with only 50 seats, which is just a little larger than a classroom.

There are about five groups of people holding a lecture at the same time. The biggest one is from Yale. This old gentleman will give a lecture for three hours, and then reserve two hours for questions.Yang Rui got a total of two hours. Huang Mao came to the door half an hour in advance, watched the inside end, and began to show the papers to the scholars who came and went on the table outside.

Hundreds of people were invited to the international conference, and a large number of researchers strolled around the conference hall, but not necessarily in related fields, and not everyone was willing to listen to the report.

Under normal circumstances, not particularly well-known scholars, the venue of 50 people is enough. As for particularly well-known scholars, they will naturally be allocated to larger venues.

Huang maolue stood there a little uneasy, looking around worried.

After a while, Yang Rui came over with the prepared paper. Looking at Huang Mao, he asked with a smile, "what's the matter?"

"I'm afraid no one will come." Huang Mao breathed, green and astringent, and said that he had only graduated from University for two years.

Yang Rui laughed and said, "you care so much. First of all, we just need to give a speech at the conference and publish the paper. That's the qualification. Secondly, potassium channels are a hot topic in biology. How can no one listen to them. At least, Professor Richard has to listen to it. "

Huang Mao was quite serious in front of him. He couldn't help laughing when he heard that.

In fact, Richard is really waiting outside.

Of course, Richard is embarrassed to go now. He asked someone to help him get Yang Rui's paper. He is going to squat in a conference room to read it carefully, so as to facilitate the opening of the report meeting and seize the opportunity to ask questions.

If the paper itself is not worth mentioning, maybe all the questions can be omitted. Although the probability is very low, Richard still has some expectations.

After all, he has done the experiment for more than two months, and he has done it day and night, and he has not been able to write the results of the formed paper. Yang Rui went home for the new year, and he came back with the paper all at once. Richard thinks that it is very possible to be repetitive or less innovative.

After a while, the agreed paper was sent.

Richard took it in his hand and his face changed: "so thick?"

"More than 20 pages, before and after the background." Someone whispered.

Richard was a little relieved and asked, "are there many people taking papers?"

"There seems to be a lot."

"How many papers have they prepared?"

"There must be a hundred."

"The heart is not small." Richard scoffed that there were not many people who could participate in this kind of international conference, and even fewer people came to listen to the report when they had time. Of course, there will be more people coming to get papers than to listen to the reports, but if there are more than 100 papers, they usually can't finish them.

The visitor shrugged and said, "mutation gene analysis of potassium ion channel is very attractive. Your laboratory competition can also increase the heat."

Richard's face turned red. In the biological field, his failure in the scientific research competition with Chinese laboratories is not a big news.

"I'll look at the paper first." Richard lost interest in speaking.

In hall 3 not far away, Yang Rui and Huang Mao gradually began to stop.

Unlike Richard, most researchers choose to communicate with the author of the paper as soon as they get the paper. This is also one of the advantages of the international conference. You can get more information faster, and the communication between researchers from different regions can enable both sides to get more advanced information.

In terms of potassium channel, or calcium channel, sodium channel and other channel technologies, Yang Rui is at the forefront.

At least half of the scholars who care about this field come by looking at the contents of their papers and the time of their reports.

The reason why they come here is to communicate with Yang Rui.

The gathering of these people also slowly began to attract the attention of other scholars.
