Chapter 601

After barely sleeping on the roaring plane and washing up, the passengers were compensated with a western meal.

Western food is quite pure. There are two appetizers, two soups and two main courses. Although there are not many portions, it looks good after the stewardess spread the white tablecloth and distributed the polished metal tableware.

Yang Rui was a little surprised when he held a short handle knife. He had the impression that the plane was so open, not to mention metal knives, and things like screwdrivers could not be brought up.

Song Wenhao didn't sleep well. With black bags under his eyes, he asked the stewardess for a glass of red wine to drink. Then he looked at Yang Rui as if he was in a daze. He laughed and asked, "have you ever had western food? Here, I'll teach you, the most basic one is the left fork and the right knife. In the words of foreigners, it's to grasp the knife with the habitual hand, because it's constantly cutting... "

Song Wenhao is a good teacher, but Yang Rui is not good at learning, so he followed for a while. However, there are only a few steps in the process of Chinese Western food integration, which is not as complicated as a primary school student's experiment. After Song Wenhao said a few words, he had nothing to say.

"I haven't arrived yet. I'm tired." Yang Rui quickly ends the conversation and feeds a small amount of food to his mouth. Compared with the airplane meal in his memory, it seems to taste better now.

Song Wenhao nodded his head and said casually: "it's estimated that it's coming soon. I don't know where the delegation has decided to locate the hotel this time. If it's too far away, it will be hard."

"Usually in front of the meeting." Yang Rui is talking about the previous concept. When he followed his tutor to attend some meetings in China, it was natural for him to book a room nearby.

Song Wenhao laughs bitterly: "we are short of money. If we think there is not enough money, we can only find a way to save money. I heard from people who came here last year that they live in the suburbs. They spend three hours in the car every day and three or four hours when they come back. They suffer a lot."

Yang Ruixin said: "I can take three hours, let the 60-year-old Professor take six or seven hours every day? What kind of meeting are you going to attend? I'm so tired. "

"Who said no, some of them are lucky. The organizing committee has arranged a place nearby, and those like us have no choice. Ah... I'd rather they save money on food."

"It is estimated that the cost of food is not high." Yang Rui is also worried. The hotel is far away. It's really hard to change.

At noon, the plane landed slowly.

Everyone lowered their watches under the guidance of the stewardess, and then got off the plane in a neat line.

The leader looked like a white headed eagle, staring at the crowd with vigilant eyes, and kept saying: "pay attention to the international influence, put the team in order, and don't let foreign friends see the joke."

Yang Rui didn't have a choice either. He stood in the queue and ran through the airport hall like a monkey in a circus in the discussion, smile and surprise of international friends.

It's really a rare experience.

Comrade Song Wenhao was also a little upset, so he could only comfort himself: "at least a suit is white, isn't it? If it's not for the international friends to see the unity and friendship of our Chinese people, how can it be that you want a suit with such a good fabric as white? "

Yang Rui looks down at his blue suit. To tell you the truth, this suit is quite good in China, because men are all gray, blue is bright and atmospheric.

However, standing in the New York airport, a group of people neat blue suit is a little silly.

Most of the tailors in China have just reached the level of making suits, and they have no ability to control a fashion team. What's more, the team is still old and few, with different shapes and temperament

"Don't talk." The leader looked back with a dignified face, lowered his voice and said: "all listen to my command, one two one, one two one... Left and right, left and right..."

People habitually adjust their left and right legs, and after a while they make a neat sound of "Dong Dong Dong", which is full of momentum and attracts the attention of more international friends.

Yang Rui can only follow the left and right, left and right, thinking: it's a sacrifice for science, beep the golden monkey

After picking up the luggage, the space in the hall was somewhat unable to use the skill of "one, two, one". At this time, the team leader stopped emphasizing the formation, let the people gather together and began to allocate the hotel, saying: "as we all know, New York is an international metropolis, The price is very expensive. We chose two hotels for the purpose of saving money for our country and making it convenient for us to travel. One is called Sofitel Hotel, which is 10 kilometers away from the venue and takes about 15 minutes by car... "

People can't help cheering. It seems that not only Comrade Song Wenhao is worried.

The leader waved his hand: "don't be anxious. Sofitel hotel is provided by the organizing committee. They only provided us with 8 affordable rooms. After our struggle, we got 10 rooms in total, which can accommodate 20 people. After a while, the people I named will stay in Sofitel hotel.""What's the standard for staying in this hotel?" Someone immediately asked, everyone knows that another hotel is definitely not as good as this one.

The leader said with a wooden face: "the standard is decided by the Organizing Committee of the conference. It is based on the list of people who will attend the opening ceremony on the first day, that is, the first report meeting. A total of 16 people from our side will attend the report meeting. These 16 people will live in the room provided by the organizing committee, and the expenses will also be borne by the Organizing Committee of the conference. For the two extra rooms we won, I think so. We arranged for four people to stay, but these two rooms should be used as extra transfer, that is to say, people from another hotel will come to these two rooms to have a rest. Now I will read the list of 16 people first. After that, those who are willing to live in these two rooms will raise their hands again. En, the first one is Professor Zhang Dayong; Second, Professor Liu Huafeng... Please stand on my left side of the professor whose name is called. "

After a while, the team was divided into two groups, one big and the other small. The leader read on one by one until the last one, saying: "Yang Rui... Classmate."

The difference in terms of address alone is enough to attract people's attention.

A group of dozens of people, are looking at Yang Rui.

Before someone questioned, the team leader said: "this standard is not set by us, it is decided by the Organizing Committee of the United States. Because the number of our group is too large, we can only invite 16 people to attend the first report meeting."

"It's just that we don't have enough leisure." Some people naturally say strange things.

The leader coughed and pretended not to hear.

Most of them are middle-aged and elderly scholars. Regardless of their level, their qualifications are not weak. The only exception is Yang Rui's "classmate".

Compared with other people, Yang Rui's strength in the academic field can't be weaker. He doesn't hold any post in any national authority. He's not even a real national cadre. Except for a laboratory, Yang Rui doesn't have much power under his hands, and his accumulation in the academic field has far from affected the ability of anyone present.

So, someone called out without hesitation: "I don't care about others. How did Yang Rui get into the organizing committee?"

"Professor Hu, let's keep our voice down and pay attention to the international influence." The team leader repeated the key points, did not answer the questions directly, but looked at Yang Rui.

For him, it is obviously not cost-effective to block thunder for Yang Rui.

Yang Rui also expected this. After two seconds of consideration between the attack and concession, he chose the former and said, "I guess there are two reasons."

"Oh? Two more points? " Professor Hu was very impatient when he saw that Yang Rui was explaining rather than being modest. He is 60 years old, and he has to ride with the car. He is very reluctant. It is even more unbalanced to see scholars younger than himself get better treatment.

To other people, Professor Hu is not good to offend face to face, but to Yang Rui, Professor Hu does not care. He is about to retire in the twinkling of an eye. This time he comes out, his welfare is more than his job, and he doesn't worry about what Yang Rui can do to himself.

Yang Rui was very familiar with this situation and said frankly: "first, maybe the paper I sent to the organizing committee played a role. If the other party thought it was valuable, I was shortlisted."

Academic conferences are not like the Olympic Games. The larger the scale, the better. For example, in theoretical physics, a world-wide grand meeting is usually about 30 to 50 people. There are many scholars in biology, perhaps hundreds and thousands of times as many as theoretical physics, but the scale will not be unlimited. In particular, the organizing committee will not set up a large lecture hall for more participants.

A normal academic conference is usually filled with as many people as the lecture hall is rented, but there is no limit to the number of scholars who are willing to enroll.

In other words, 3000 people can attend an International Conference on biology, but 300 people can be crammed into the lecture hall, so the organizing committee will screen out 300 people and invite them to attend the first report meeting - as for the second, the third and the fourth report meeting, the organizing committee will not care, they are all on a first come first served basis.

This situation is usually because the Organizing Committee of various international conferences is very poor, so we can't afford to have a grand opening ceremony, just for the sake of it. On the other hand, it's also unnecessary. If there are one or two hundred people listening to an academic conference, even if it's advertised. Anyway, before the conference, everyone will get a copy of the content of the report and go home to study it. Attending the conference on the spot is just an opportunity to question it face to face. If the academic level is not enough, It doesn't make sense to get this opportunity.

Secondly, except for the first report meeting, all the subsequent reports will be held one after another or even in parallel. Just like the "International Conference on medicine and bioengineering" in which Yang Rui once participated, only a few people are qualified to do the unique report meeting that attracts people's attention. Just like the news broadcast, other reports will compete with each other, The organizing committee will build a large lecture hall, which will be of no use except for the opening ceremony. For the poor scholars, it is a great waste.However, to be able to attend the first report meeting is still a good indication of a scholar's status.

Therefore, everyone called attending the first report meeting a shortlist.

Yang Rui was shortlisted to prove his position, so he was relaxed.

However, Professor Hu's face was ugly. He felt satirized. He couldn't help saying, "you talk to yourself, but the other party thinks you are valuable. In your paper, you are boasting."

"That's exactly my second point." At this time, Yang Rui was really sarcastic, his voice was light, and he said gently: "after all, I published a cell. The organizing committee probably thinks that it is worth praising that I published such a paper. What do you think, Professor Hu? "

Of course, it's impossible for Professor Hu to publish a cell. With his age and qualifications, if he has published a cell or a paper of a certain level, not to mention being shortlisted for an international conference, he will have at least three or five domestic senior titles on his head. Maybe he can still get an academician.

In fact, Professor Hu, not to mention publishing cell, has done the most in recent years, that is, running projects, and then writing his name on his papers.

It's easy to earn young scholars, but the level of young scholars is often lacking. Most of the scholars who can publish high-level papers are not young and will not work for them. Professor Hu does not write his own papers, but only relies on his young people. Naturally, he lacks achievements.

Yang Rui's words stabbed Professor Hu's pain and made his expression furious.

In front of many scholars, Professor Hu only felt that he had been humiliated and his face turned red. The first thing he thought of was to rush up and hit people.

The team leader was terrified to see it, and he knew something about Yang Rui's character. First, he went up and stopped Professor Hu, and advised him. Then he told other humanitarians, "get in the car first, all of you."

"You let me go, I'm going to kill this boy. Is cell great? Cell is amazing. " Professor Hu is as loud as a bell, showing a healthy body.

Yang Rui sighed, but he stood still, looked around for a week, and said in front of many scholars: "I have to answer this, otherwise I'm sorry to our colleagues in the laboratory. It's really amazing to publish "cell". We have raised nearly 600000 US dollars in total. We should be able to imagine the difficulties. For half a year, under great pressure, we competed with laboratories at the University of California, Berkeley, and finally solved the problem of "how to determine the functionality of potassium ion channels". We worked hard. My colleagues, Huang Ren, Tu Xian, Wang Xiaoyun and Wei zhenxue, all worked hard. Our achievements are the best universities in the United States, It's amazing, I think, what we haven't achieved with several times as much money. "

Yang Rui's tone is flat, but the content is full and enthusiastic.

The scholars who have been immersed in the academic circle for a lifetime have tasted Yang Rui's words in their minds, and Qi Qi is speechless.

The leader of the team pulled Professor Hu with red eyes and kept repeating: "pay attention to international influence, pay attention to international influence..."
