Chapter 818

After a busy Christmas shopping, a group of Chinese spent a quiet and peaceful Christmas in Kempinski. Just a few more poor turkeys.

Benjamin law firm started to work the day after Christmas. They rented Kempinski's conference room, set up a video recorder bigger than three people's heads, and began to videotape all Chinese scholars' testimonies. This is to prevent the witness from suddenly backtracking after going to court.

The judicial process in the United States is lengthy and repeated, especially the company cases, which last for several years or even more than ten years. Naturally, the list of witnesses is as long as the old lady's shroud. Some judges will consciously reduce the number of witnesses and the time of appearing in court, but some judges do not. In order to prove that they are more supported by professionals in front of nonprofessional judges, lawyers are obviously inclined to make a longer list of expert witnesses.

Credibility is also one of the factors for lawyers to decide the witness. It is meaningless to find a vendor to prove the national economic index, even if the vendor is surprised, self-taught and gifted. In contrast, a Federal Reserve economist graduated from Harvard can easily make people accept his economic views, Even if the economist of the Federal Reserve held a party every day during his university, participated in the party every day during his internship, and organized a party every day during his work, it doesn't matter.

In the field of science, academician and Professor, plus doctor, these three titles are the most convincing.

Lawyers are also emphasizing these terms, pushing their own witnesses as many as possible.

Just after new year's day, the court day is coming.

Yang Rui and others dressed up and went to the court, accompanied by a large number of journalists as well as lawyers.

This invention, which is worth 200 million US dollars at present and may be worth 3 billion US dollars in the future, even decides a Nobel Prize, is a wonderful story for journalists to laugh about. More than one reporter followed up the whole story.

DuPont consortia, bullying the small with the big, and high-tech companies in the new economy are all attractive gimmicks.

Yang Rui's eyes watched the reporters fill up the small auditorium, but he was a little nervous for a moment.

"Mr. Yang Rui, you only need to explain your work after giving testimony in court today." Lawyer Benjamin sits beside Yang Rui and reminds him in a low voice.

Yang Rui took a deep breath and said, "I know."

Benjamin nodded and looked at Yang Rui again. He could only pray that the next testifying process would be smooth. This is a patent case, not a criminal case. Yang Rui can't go to court without thinking about it.

Benjamin, who has done a lot of patent cases, knows that many technical experts are not good at words, and Yang Rui is a foreigner, so he is not suitable for the environment of the court. However, if he does not let Yang Rui appear in court, DuPont's lawyer will also let Yang Rui appear in court, which is not good for his own side.

Of course, the time to appear in court is always up to you.

Taking advantage of the lawyer's statement, Benjamin whispered: "Professor darbeco's testimony is very beneficial to you, but he mainly proved that PCR technology should not be a derivative of DuPont's technology in the 1970s. Next, we need to prove that this technology belongs to you completely, so, You're going to talk about what you've done in PCR. "

"I understand." Yang Rui nodded slowly, his mood gradually calmed down, and asked: "the video I took before, the video I took in PCR work, can't prove my work?"

"Yes, but the judge still wants to hear from you." Benjamin looked at him and said, "the court believes in testimony, sometimes better than physical evidence."

It wasn't long before Yang Rui finally got on the witness stand.

The flash lamp is like a firework. The eyes of the flash people can't open, so that the judge has to knock the hammer repeatedly and warn: "if anyone uses the flash lamp again, he will be expelled by the bailiff."

DuPont's lawyer was about 50 years old. After the reporters were quiet, he came up to Yang Rui and said, "Mr. Yang Rui, you are still a university student, aren't you?"

"Yes." Yang Rui replied.

"As far as I know, when you claim to have made PCR, you are still a freshman, aren't you?"

"Yes."

"It's kind of incredible, isn't it?" The lawyer smiles.

Yang Rui smile: "for you, any biological theory is incredible, isn't it?"

Yang Rui's reaction had no effect on the judges, but it made the reporters excited all at once.

DuPont's lawyer was stunned and found that Yang Rui was satirizing himself. He couldn't help laughing and said, "I mean, it always takes a while to reserve knowledge. Do you think a year's college career can reserve the corresponding knowledge for you?"Yang Rui stretched his head forward, approached the microphone and said, "yes."

DuPont's lawyer was stunned again and asked, "do you mean that one year's college career can produce Nobel Prize achievements?"

"No Yang Rui looked at DuPont's lawyer and said, "some people can't achieve the Nobel Prize in a hundred years."

The reporters in the auditorium were already laughing.

The lawyer looked the same and asked, "let me put it another way, Mr. Yang Rui, how did you complete the Nobel prize while studying in one year?"

"In fact, it took me less than half a year to complete the design and demonstration of PCR." "Before that, I did another study, cloning mutation genes to determine the function of ion channels is more difficult," Yang shrugged. And the value of the results is not determined by the difficulty of the research. Of course, PCR technology has some difficulties, but I think three months is enough. "

"You mean, in three months, you can make a Nobel Prize?"

"It's not anybody. It's me." Yang Rui would not have the slightest humility in the court. He straightened up his chest and said: "inspiration is the most important part. When you get inspiration, the rest of the work is just repetitive physical work. Your assistant is gesturing to you. "

Yang Rui pointed behind the lawyer. DuPont's lawyers were obviously confused. What they wanted to question was the source of inspiration, not who made the PCR. It was Yang Rui who made the PCR, which has been confirmed many times by Benjamin.

DuPont's lawyer in charge of interrogation looks ugly, while reporters start to write words crazily, or press the shutter without opening the flash. This is the most popular part of the public. They beat the powerful company with their own strength.

The judge had to pick up his hammer again.

Scholars from China were stunned. They didn't expect that the courts in the United States were like this. What's more, Yang Rui was not modest and so wild.

DuPont's lawyer ended his interrogation and replaced Benjamin on the stage. After the latter's programmed one vote question, he said, "Yang Rui, how did you come up with the idea of PCR technology?"

Yang Rui looked back and said, "I was in Yunnan, a province of China. There was a characteristic of the roads there, which were very winding. Almost all of them were Panshan roads. When I was sitting in the car, I saw the Panshan road and thought of what I was doing. Suddenly, I felt that this kind of environment, It's very similar to the spiral structure of DNA... "

Reporters are excited again. What the public likes most is not to listen to stories.

If Yang Rui talks seriously about his PCR research, reporters will probably go back to make up a wonderful story after they are sleepy. However, Yang Rui's story is more fascinating and has more value of dissemination.

As for DuPont's lawyers, after Yang Rui talked about the story, his expression was dim.

The court in the United States is a duel between stories. Yang Rui's story is much better than DuPont's so-called story of "the old Nobel Laureate in the 1970s".
