Chapter 427

"There's no conference room. You can print more papers." The staff of the organizing committee answered Huang Mao's request without raising their heads, which was very formulaic.

Huang Mao thought that if the conference room was crowded, he would be able to sit down. It was more important to print more papers.

So Huang Mao said with a pleasant face, "please print another 100 papers."

The staff of the Organizing Committee raised their heads, but laughed: "100 papers, who do you think you are? James. Dewey. Watson

A few scholars around naturally laughed.

Huang Mao's face turned red. He was not good at arguing, so he asked, "how many copies can I print?"

"The organizing committee can give you 20 copies for free." The staff member from the United States grinned and said, "it's usually enough. You should also have enough. Don't think too much. Most people take away the papers and don't necessarily read them."

Huang Mao could not help but said, "we know if they have seen it."

"Whatever you want." The Americans shrugged their shoulders and raised their chin slightly haughtily. At least in Huang Mao's view, the American expression was extremely arrogant.

"Make me 20 copies first." Huang Mao swallowed his displeasure and thought that he could print as much as he could.

"Well," the American said, "wait."

Huang Mao was worried and asked, "how long will it take? The volume of papers over there will be finished soon. "

"If you can't wait, copy it yourself." The American pointed to the back room and said, "three dollars per set of papers."

"Three dollars!" Huang Mao couldn't breathe and wanted to choke himself to death.

Although in Yang Rui's Huarui laboratory, he has been using tens of thousands of dollars of instruments for a long time, and he often uses hundreds of thousands of dollars of reagents, but he will not put a dollar in his pocket.

In fact, even if he had dollars in his pocket, Huang Mao was reluctant to use them. Today's copiers are so rare that they don't cost three dollars to copy a set of papers.

Huang Mao argued that the staff of the organizing committee didn't care about him, but said, "if you want to copy at your own expense, you should pay. If you want to apply for free copy, you should fill in the form and wait in line."

"I'll pay. I'll pay first." Huang Mao can't wait. Huarui laboratory has been doing the experiment for more than three months, and the total cost is more than 100000 US dollars. We can't drop the chain at this time.

The staff of the organizing committee shook their heads and said, "no bookkeeping."

"You..." Huang Mao pointed, it is helpless. The other party is a foreigner, you can't go up and tear it.

After two seconds, Huang Mao turned around and ran back. Yang Rui always had money. As for whether he had dozens of dollars, he had to fight for luck.

The staff in the back laughed again. International conferences also need to make money. For Chinese scholars who have just set foot in the international world, international conferences naturally exist on a large scale. However, for foreign organizations that have played international conferences for decades, international conferences can also make money. At least, they can make ends meet and make a little profit.

It costs money to copy. In fact, it also costs extra registration fees to attend conferences and even report meetings. It's just the domestic mechanism that makes Sinopharm foreign trade have to pay for this part of the money. Otherwise, the impoverished research institutions can't get foreign exchange at all, and the international conferences they hold will be meaningless.

However, what Sinopharm foreign trade is willing to pay or has to pay is the registration fee. If the money is copied separately, Sinopharm foreign trade will not pay. However, the Organizing Committee of the conference will not charge less because of Chinese characteristics. On the other hand, the staff of the organizing committee who have seen backward China in the 1980s are biased against Chinese scholars.

After a while, Huang Mao rushed back to the conference hall.

At this time, Yang Rui's papers and pamphlets were almost gone, but the number of scholars who asked for them was increasing, and he could not give them to anyone or not.

When Huang Mao got in, he watched the paper glowing.

Yang Rui saw Huang Mao coming back and said in a loud voice, "please wait a moment, my colleagues have copied more papers and come back."

The people who were waiting to read the paper were really quiet, and then they looked at Huang Mao eagerly.

Huang Mao was speechless for a moment.

Yang Rui touched him and said in Chinese, "where's the paper?"

"Three dollars a copy. I don't have any money with me." Huang Mao wiped his forehead and wanted to solve the main problem first.

Yang Rui frowned slightly: "isn't the organizing committee giving you free copies? We used to print it ourselves. Now let's get them to copy it for help. ""I know, but it's a long time to wait for a free copy. If you want it immediately, you have to pay $3 for one copy, $30 for 10 copies... For so many people, 50 copies is $150. Ah, it's almost like robbing money! " Huang Mao grits his teeth, 150 dollars can be exchanged for 1000 yuan, which is his salary for more than half a year.

Yang Rui knows that copying costs money, but he didn't expect to wait for free copying. At this time, he didn't have a choice. First, he took money from his pocket and thrust it into Huang Mao, saying, "how many copies can be printed first, and then you call the laboratory. You should still have money on the account."

At this moment, the foreigner waiting nearby also saw that it was wrong. A white haired old man was the first to ask.

Yang Rui immediately turned over Huang Mao's words, then arched his hand and said, "I'm really sorry. I didn't expect to need so many papers. Let's solve this problem as soon as possible."

"I'll help you with a problem, too." The old man with white hair stood up and said, "there should be no waiting time for free copying. I'll tell you."

Huang Mao, no matter who this is, hurriedly led him.

When they arrived at the office of the organizing committee, the staff saw a warm-hearted old man with white hair, but they suddenly became enthusiastic: "Mr. chagaff, why are you here?"

"I want to see this Chinese scholar's paper. If you don't copy it, of course I have to come by myself." Chagav's voice was very loud, which immediately attracted the eyes of the whole room.

Without any help, he went directly to the copier and began to copy by himself. While copying, chagaff scolded the organizing committee.

When they printed more than 50 papers and left, almost all the staff were scolded and cried.

"We'll get rid of him when we've confirmed what you said." The person in charge present had to make such a promise to chagav.

Chagaff said angrily: "the point is not that he is alone. You all have problems. I suggest you listen to Yang Rui's report."

Several persons in charge of the scene nodded.

However, when they got to the meeting room, it was full of water and could not be squeezed in.

"How to arrange such a small conference room? Is the organizing committee's brain sticky?" It's researchers who come to listen to the report. It's better to expect them to behave themselves than to expect the conference room to be enlarged automatically.

The leaders of the organizing committee who came back with chagav and Huang Mao had fever on their faces.

And on the other side, Richard's looking silly.

It's an international conference. There are only a few hundred scholars invited to attend, but there are five or six lectures held at the same time. A conference room of 50 people is full. I'm afraid that half of the researchers in the fortress are in it. Richard himself has never enjoyed such treatment.
