Chapter 640

Yang Rui thought of Xijie factory in Xibao town.

Xijie factory is built in the factory building of Xibao meat factory. It adopts the current advanced equipment, and its personnel are all domestic employees, including Tian Shichang of Ruixue group. They have been dealing with Yang Rui since the beginning of the factory construction, and they have a certain understanding of Yang Rui.

In addition, the Yang family is also a local leader in Xibao town and Xi county. The combination of Jielikang, Guoyi foreign trade, Xibao meat factory and Yang Rui was originally unbreakable, but if Yang Rui could persuade Guoyi foreign trade, Xibao meat factory would be very good to fight for... Jielikang's control over Xijie factory would be tighter than none.

Just like in the era of development zones in the mainland, the county-level government is killing foreign businessmen and Hong Kong businessmen. It is too simple for the Yang family to pit an enterprise within the scope of Xi county. Even if the Hedong provincial government comes down, it may not be able to stir up this mess.

If Yang Rui was in high school, he was not able to persuade the foreign trade of national medicine. But now, Yang Rui has known many powerful people through Jing Cuncheng. He has money in his hand and connections with others. He has a good chance to persuade the foreign trade of national medicine.

Of course, it's not easy for Sinopharm to sell coenzyme Q10 in the international market. But Yang Rui believes that as long as the ex factory price is low enough and the profit is high enough, there will be shameless pharmaceutical brokers to undertake such business. Hailuoyin in Afghanistan and blood diamonds in Africa can be sold, Medicine brokers in the international market are no better than drug dealers.

However, this is a very powerful move. Once it is implemented, reconciling will cost a lot of money. It can be said that as long as Yang Rui uses this move, he will lose money in the first place.

"I've got to figure out what's going on with Jericho." Yang Rui muttered to himself.

"How do you confirm?" Jing Yulan continues to help him expand his thinking.

Yang Rui thought and said: "it's definitely not good to make a phone call. It's better to communicate face to face and find Frankie."

"Frankie, the fat Englishman?" Jing Yulan was quite impressed by this. In China in 1984, it was rare to meet a fat man full of seats.

Yang Rui nodded: "Frankie... Is still a good man in general, but I'm afraid I can't if I call him. I can't go to England..."

"If Frankie is in England, maybe he can ask the embassy for help." Jing Yulan came up with an idea and said, "Guo Wei, uncle Guo works in the Ministry of foreign affairs. He must know the people in the embassy. Even if he doesn't know them, it's OK to find an overseas student in the UK."

Guo Wei was Jing Cuncheng's roommate at Delin farm. They all shared the foreign exchange certificates Yang Rui gave him. Therefore, he was also a very close relationship with Yang Rui. He helped Yang Rui several times earlier.

This time, it's absolutely right to ask Guo Wei for help.

Thinking of this, Yang Rui was excited. He couldn't help holding Jing Yulan for a turn and said with a smile, "good idea."

Jing Yulan is very shy. Fortunately, Yang Rui just hugs her and puts her down, but it's very irritating.

"No more of this." Jing Yulan warned in a low voice, but the tone was slight and could not be heard clearly.

Yang Rui used junior high school students' ability to answer the phone and asked, "which one is not allowed?"

Jing Yulan is really ashamed and turns away from Yang Rui.

Yang Rui sighed and pretended: "ignore me, I'll go out to find uncle Guo first. I don't know if people will leave lunch for me."

Jing Yulan thought of his depressed appearance just now. He felt soft and said, "I have no class today. I'll cook at noon. If you want to eat, you can come back."

"I want to eat radish and beef brisket, clear fire." Yang Rui's request to advance an inch immediately.

Jing Yulan face a black: "boiled radish to clear the fire."

"Beef is not on fire, radish clear fire, two Jin with three jin, at least clear fire a Jin." Yang Rui puts on his shoes while making a fuss.

Jing Yulan couldn't help laughing: "I'll go to the market later. If there is no beef, I can't help it."

"There is a card in the first drawer under the tea table, which says beef man, and the address and telephone number are on the back. The telephone number is from the shop in front of him. You leave a message saying you want two catties of beef brisket and say my name. He will know. Before the market closes, he will keep two catties of beef brisket for you." Yang Rui talks about this topic as seriously as he talks about the problem of Jericho.

Jing Yulan was silly: "you have such a good relationship with selling beef?"

"It's hard to buy beef now. On weekends and holidays, you go to line up at 5 a.m. and there are at least ten people lying in front of the beef and mutton shop." Yang Rui shook his head, said: "I sent a cigarette, people agreed to give me secretly stay meat."

Jing Yulan couldn't believe it and said, "do you give a cigarette to the clerk of the beef shop?"This is 84 years ago, a cigarette is reciprocity, and a box of cigarettes can do business. Just one day ago, Wang Yong used a box of cigarettes to help Yang Rui buy back three paintings by Ambassador Wu Changshuo of the Republic of China, which is equivalent to buying back three special goods.

As for a cigarette, there are too many things that can be done. If it's in the countryside, it's enough time for recruitment.

Yang Rui is very proud: "cigar smokers also need a cigar younger brother to wait on them. I give them a cigarette. They leave not only beef for me, but also the best parts. Come on, I'll go back first. Remember to call."

The door slammed, leaving Jing Yulan in a mess in the room: in the past 27 years, she has never heard of such a thing.

Yang Rui went out of the door and didn't call for a car any more. When he got on his bike, he stepped on it all the way. After sweating, he calmed down and went to the Ministry of foreign affairs to find Guo Wei.

Find Frankie in England and ask him a question. Almost all foreign students are competent for such a job. However, Guo Wei, through his subordinates, found a relatively elderly representative of foreign students, told him on the phone, and then said to Yang Rui, "there will be an answer the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"Keep it as secret as you can. If you have any information, call me over." Yang Rui is naturally cautious. Jericham's attitude is related to his bonus, and the amount of bonus determines his next move.

Yang Rui couldn't pay more attention to this.

Any person in charge of a laboratory has paid more attention to the fund pipeline than ever before.

In the next two days, Yang Rui spent time in worry, beef brisket, beef tenderloin, beef tendon, beef tail and beef tripe.

On the third day, Guo Wei called Yang Rui and said, "we have news."

Yang Rui is doing the experiment. Without saying a word, he hands over his work to Su xiankai and turns around.

If it is any other problem, he will give priority to the completion of the experiment, but for the current laboratory, the problem of funding is more important than the experiment itself. If the capital pipeline is cut off, even the experimental consumables can not be bought, what about the experiment.

Guo Wei quietly corrected the documents in his office. Seeing Yang Rui come in, he immediately put down his pen, closed the door and said, "it has been confirmed."

Yang Rui was stunned and said silently, "I didn't expect to receive bad news."

"Your friend, Frankie, also asked people to say that it was not Jericho who was behind the scenes." Guo Wei knows something about it, and his words are heavy.

Yang Rui laughs: "still behind the scenes..."

Guo Wei didn't laugh.

"Very serious?" Yang Rui was stunned: "well, it's appropriate to be behind the scenes. Who is it?"

"DuPont, do you know?" Guo Wei stopped for a moment and said, "according to Frankie, DuPont asked Jericho to suspend your dividend in order to gain an advantage in the next lawsuit. Well, according to Frankie, DuPont will soon sue you in the United States. "

"DuPont, of course I know..." Yang Rui's face was very bad. He thought: finally he came.

DuPont gives people the impression that it is mostly a chemical product group. It is indeed the largest chemical product group in the world. However, as a large-scale consortium, DuPont is also the top six giant in the IVD market, with a market size of 1.2 billion US dollars, The scale of in vitro diagnosis of infectious diseases most likely affected by PCR is 100 million US dollars.

1 Billion dollars, enough for a consortium to launch a shameless offensive.

In history, the company was harassed by DuPont about half a year after it launched the PCR instrument. After half a year, the lawsuit suddenly arose. This is because PCR technology first played a role in the field of virus testing.

Just as Yang Rui chose AIDS as a breakthrough point in his speech, he claimed that PCR can replicate HIV which can not be replicated at present. The characteristics of PCR enable researchers to focus on virus testing first.

Before PCR technology, direct testing of viruses was very limited. If you want to test whether a person is infected with the virus - either test the antibody of the infected person or test the culture sample.

Suppose someone is suspected to be infected with influenza or avian influenza, or a pig is suspected to be infected with classical swine fever. To verify, one of the two methods should be chosen. If you choose to test the antibody of an infected person, someone may have to be infected for a long time before they can produce antibodies. If it is avian influenza or classical swine fever, it will obviously cost a lot.

So take the second method, test the culture sample, and unfortunately, the culture sample will take several days - if it can be done.

PCR However, PCR does not need culture, because it can directly and continuously multiply the virus. The original purpose of cultivating samples is to expect the virus to proliferate itself, and then test a large number of viruses. PCR directly multiplies the DNA or RNA of the virus, which is simple and time-saving. With the PCR instrument, the whole process is still automated, saving a lot of time for researchers. In the outbreak stage, there is no doubt how important this is.DuPont first saw the prospect of PCR technology, or in other words, DuPont first felt the revolutionary power of PCR. For their own interests, they did not hesitate to take up the weapon of law - the weapon itself has no emotion.

Yang Rui can even find DuPont's lawsuit against West company from the literature in his mind, because it is a classic case, which is an example for small companies to protect their own interests and defeat large companies.

The small company we are talking about here is the Westminster company, which is publicly listed on the US stock exchange and has a market value of over US $100 million. Compared with DuPont, a big Mac, it is certainly a small company.

Even so, West has not spent less in the lawsuit.

DuPont sued because they believed that the original inventor of PCR technology should be MIT professor and Nobel laureate horana. As early as 1971, he published a paper on the principle of PCR technology. DuPont therefore provided two of his papers and a testimony of the Nobel Laureate in the 1970s.

As a confrontation, west company provided the testimonies of two Nobel Prize winners. In history, this is also a part of classic cases. Both sides use academic authority as a weapon to prove their arguments. After all, lawyers and judges do not understand academic knowledge and can only refer to the views of academic authority.

And the appearance fee of Nobel Prize winner is very expensive.

Defense lawyers are also expensive.

If Yang Rui gets the dividends from Jericho, he can afford the entrance fee and a lawyer.

DuPont, however, clearly wants to make things easier.

For a moment, Yang Rui felt like he was at the end of his tether.

"Is the problem serious? What can I do for you? " Guo Wei asked solemnly.

"It's serious. I don't know where to start. " Yang Rui was quite at a loss.

"Tell me." Guo Wei takes Yang Rui to sit on the sofa and makes hot tea for him.

Yang Rui thought about it. He didn't say much about it. He just said his conjecture: "DuPont may want my PCR technology. They cut off the dividend that Jericho gave me, dried up my capital, and then filed a lawsuit... The cost of filing a lawsuit in the United States is very high. If I don't have money, the lawyer won't help me to file a lawsuit. However, there is no lawyer for this kind of professional patent lawsuit, It's hard to win without a good lawyer and a team of lawyers. In the end, if they sue successfully, I may lose the patent of PCR.... "

"But you invented PCR."

"Yes, but to prove it in court, I have to have a lawyer prove it to me. Good lawyers do this kind of thing." Yang Rui has done a lot of preparatory work. He believes that as long as he has a good team of lawyers, he can easily win a lawsuit. But if there is no team of lawyers, it will be too difficult to win. DuPont does not even have to fight a lawsuit. He constantly applies for various injunctions and various legal documents, and Yang Rui or his cheap lawyers will be exhausted.

In the end, DuPont didn't have to wait for the verdict of the court to drag Yang Rui to death. Large pharmaceutical companies, or any large multinational enterprise, do this kind of thing.

Guo Wei pondered calmly for a while and said, "after all, it's just lack of money."

"A lot of money is missing."

"If you think it's cost-effective, you should find a way to change money first. It's really no good. Ask Peking University or the Ministry of foreign affairs for help."

"We're talking about dollars. Peking University and the Ministry of foreign affairs can't afford to help me." Yang Rui wry smile two, but slowly had an idea, way: "is not completely not."

"Where do you say?"

"Not Peking University or the Ministry of foreign affairs." Yang Rui waved his hand and said to himself, "no matter what DuPont is behind the scenes or what Jericho thinks, it doesn't affect my original plan. It's better to change money first. Well, maybe DuPont is behind the scenes. It's better than Jericho."

Guo Wei asked, "why?"

"It's hard to say now. I'll try." Yang Rui turned his head to go, then stopped and said, "Uncle Guo, today's news is very important. You should keep it secret for me. You can't let it out at all."

"Good."

"You can't let out a little bit. Frankie is a good friend. DuPont probably has some secret preparation before initiating a lawsuit. At least it won't let the domestic know. If you keep it secret for me, I will have more space to move." Yang Rui explained again and again.

Guo Wei became serious: "I'm very tight lipped. In addition, I'll tell the overseas students in the UK. Don't worry. If he dares to speak out, he won't get any more public money."

"Thank you, uncle Guo." Yang Rui held Guo Wei's hand tightly as if the underground party were parting and left in a hurry.
