Chapter 41：

Li Zheng opened the door directly. This is a small store. The first thing that catches your eye is a low rectangular table with tatami mats behind. A thin Japanese man leaned against the table and saw Li Zheng and his party. Entering with a polite smile on his face.

"Trouble change to Japanese currency." Li Zheng took out ten U.S. dollars with Benjamin Franklin's head printed on it. In order to prevent risks, such private exchange institutions only accept mainstream international currencies. In the 1980s, neither Chinese currency nor Xiangjiang currency were among the mainstream currencies.

The old Japanese man glanced at the young man in surprise, "Now the exchange rate of the US dollar to the Japanese yen is around 100:2,100. For a thousand dollars, I can give you 20,000 yen."

Li Zheng nodded. The private exchange is not more profitable than the official exchange. 1,000 yen is only 42 US dollars, which is not expensive.

Seeing Li Zheng's agreement, the old man smiled and handed a wad of yen to Li Zheng's hand. He glanced at the bag carried by Chinese scholars behind Li Zheng and said: "You want to buy small appliances, right? It's not practical. Go to Ginza, where the rent is expensive, and the price of things goes up. Let me tell you, go out from me, go east, and then turn at the third traffic light. There is a market dedicated to sellers of electricity. Less."

Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, and he could barely understand what the old man said, "Thank you, old man." He thanked him politely.

The old man waved his hand, "You are polite, the locals know something."

Li Zheng helped the old man close the door and turned to face a group of Chinese scholars.

The faces of the Chinese scholars were a little ugly. The colleagues who had just understood Japanese translated the words of the elderly for them, which wiped out the good mood of these old professors buying their favorite electrical appliances.

In the 1980s, the salary of ordinary university professors was only fifty or sixty Chinese yuan a month, equivalent to 700 to 900 yen. They came out this time in addition to the foreign exchange allocated by the country according to their heads, and they also dragged a lot of relations privately. Exchange your savings into Japanese yen. The small appliances they are carrying are often the savings of a family for several years.

Now someone tells them it's expensive. Naturally, the mood of these professors is not much better, but because of the scholar's nobleness and concern about the face of the country, they cannot make any move to return these things.

Li Zheng touched his nose, he seemed to accidentally spoil the interest of the old seniors.

Because of the presence of Li Zheng, Professor Meng and his party quickly adjusted their emotions. Chen Anbang looked at Li Zheng with a little embarrassment, "Little comrade, I don't have that much money for your Japanese currency."

Li Zhengdanfeng's eyes were bent into beautiful arcs. He pointed to the watch in Chen Anbang's hand, "Take this and replace it with me." The watch in Chen Anbang's hand is exquisite in workmanship, but the style is a bit rustic. "Five-star card" in three small characters, and the big four characters "Made in China" in the center of the dial.

In 1955, the first Chinese-made watch, the "Five-Star" watch, was born in Tianjin, China. In 1957, the Five Star Brand was officially renamed "Wuyi Brand".

In the watch industry of later generations, the price of 51 brand watches has broken through six figures, and the five-star brand watches with a short life span of only two years are even more priceless. Naturally, Li Zheng didn't want this watch to sell it for collection, but he felt a little bit about seeing the words ‘Made in China’ and wanted to stay with him as a memorial.

Chen Anbang opened his mouth. This watch has been around for thirty years. It was worn by his father and given it to him. If it weren't for the hardship of life, he would have changed to a Shanghai brand like his colleagues.

"Little comrade, it's not worth a lot of money. Otherwise, I'll give you an IOU..." Chen Anbang couldn't say it anymore.

"Forget it, don't buy it. I just let her read the book by herself, no tape recorder is needed." Chen Anbang waved his hand as if he didn't care.

"The first batch of watches made by Huaguo, to me, is worth much more than this wad of yen. If it has no special meaning to you, I beg you to change it to me. Just be with me. Leave a thought." Li Zheng's voice was not high, but he was shocked in the hearts of many Chinese scholars.

Professor Meng took a deep look at Li Zheng, "Xiao Chen, you can change with him. Little comrade is a deliberate one."

Although Chen Anbang was still a little embarrassed, looking at Li Zheng's serious expression, he finally untied the watch with a wry smile, "If you come to Hua Guo in the future, you can come to Huaqing University to find me and I will return the money to you."

Li Zheng took the watch and put it on his wrist directly: "You are welcome to redeem your watch at any time."

After changing foreign exchange, Li Zheng did not go to the home appliance market with Chinese scholars. The interaction between people is gradual, and it is too diligent but not beautiful.

"Goo..." Li Zheng's stomach couldn't help but rubbed his stomach.

Unagi rice, unagi rice~

The next day, Li Zheng and his group of six arrived in the hotel car to the entrance of the conference venue.

Xu Mingsheng took everyone through the hall in a familiar manner, and came to a gate where "Asia Biopharmaceutical Conference Venue" was written in both Japanese and English.

"Go in, we should be in the first and second rows." Xu Mingsheng said with a smile.

Li Zheng followed the crowd through most of the venue, his eyes swept over the seats that were already sitting, and suddenly met with a startled look. Li Zheng politely smiled at Professor Meng. Professor Meng opened his mouth and watched Li Zheng passing by. Seat, go to the front two rows and sit down.

"Old Ho, look, is that little comrade the one we met yesterday?" Professor Meng hurriedly hit Professor He's hand.

When Professor He stood up, he happened to see Li Zheng sitting down.

"Hey? Really! It's the boy from Haidong Province that I met yesterday!" Professor He said affirmatively.

A group of Chinese scholars looked at each other, and Chen Anbang said softly: "That's the location of Xiangjiang University."

Xiangjiang... An unspeakable silence spread around everyone. This term always holds a different position in the hearts of Chinese people.

After a long time, Professor Meng said, "As Chief Deng said, Xiangjiang will definitely return!"

"Yeah, yeah, Xiangjiang will definitely return!"

"That little comrade, you will never forget your motherland when you are in Xiangjiang. With such a person, why not worry about Xiangjiang not coming back!"

On the other side, Xu Mingsheng looked at the conference process arrangement and chuckled, “It’s Richard from the University of London. He nominated Nobel the year before, but he did not expect the conference to invite him as a guest.”

Xu Mingsheng and Richard have had many dealings with universities under the rule of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

"The first academic report was done by the University of London Medical Laboratory he brought over. It was stressful."

The first academic report was done by the Medical Laboratory of the University of London, and the last one was done by Richard himself. Others, including the host University of Tokyo, are drawn to determine the order of priority.

Hong Kong University is not bad luck, the eighth place belongs to the middle and the front.

Just at the beginning of the academic report of the Medical Laboratory of the University of London, Xu Mingsheng's expressions changed. What the University of London said at the meeting was "a clear model of RESE virus."

"How could this happen! Old Xu, what should I do?" Rao was calm in normal times. Facing this situation, Professor Zhao still seemed a little flustered.

Xu Mingsheng could almost drip ink on his face. The Asian Biopharmaceutical Conference, as you can tell from its name, is a conference for academic exchanges among many universities and research institutions in Asia.

The academic report is the most important part of it.

As one of the top universities in Asia, Hong Kong University needs to make two reports at the meeting, one academic report and one accountability report.

The responsibility report means that several Asian institutions of higher learning express their sense of social responsibility on behalf of the Asian biological community. Hong Kong University is calling for attention to special diseases such as "coldemia".

This academic report can't be so casual, it represents the academic level of a school, and even affects the global ranking of the school in the coming year. Therefore, Xiangjiang University chose the SCI paper published in "Virus" in July this year, "Conjecture about the shape of RESE virus".

But now, the University of London has made a clear model of the RESE virus, and they will guess again, isn't it slapped in the face by themselves?

"Is there no spare?" Xu Mingsheng's voice was low.

Professor Zhao and Professor Wang looked at each other and smiled bitterly at the same time. This year, Hong Kong University Biopharmaceuticals produced a global research result. If they take the previous two years to say, they really can't afford to lose this person.

There was silence in the seats of Xiangjiang University.

The report of the University of London received enthusiastic applause. Zhang Yuejun and Yang Ning lowered their heads with two quail. Xu Mingsheng's eyes swept over the frowning Li Zheng. He suddenly remembered something, and his eyes flashed with joy.

"Li Zheng, have you finished writing your paper?"

Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then it was realized that Xu Mingsheng was talking about a thesis on "coldemia" drugs, and his expression was a little bit astonished. "The first draft is finished..."

Xu Mingsheng didn't wait for Li Zheng's words to finish, he slapped his thigh vigorously, "It's you, you have to stand the scene for me!"

Li Zheng is dumb, really let him come on stage...

"It's just the first draft, I am afraid it is not rigorous enough."

Xu Mingsheng waved his hand, "A new medicine is enough to overwhelm the limelight of all schools, but this medicine is patented..." He gritted his teeth, "Every school is half an hour, and there are three and a half hours. Zhang, you go to Japan immediately. The Patent Office has registered the patent!"

After Xu Mingsheng finished speaking, he turned to Li Zheng with a trace of apology on his face.

"Li Zheng, this paper is yours, I..." Xu Mingsheng carefully considered the sentence, if it weren't really impossible, he wouldn't say it.

Li Zheng chuckled, "Teacher, this new medicine, I didn't intend to benefit from it. Thank you teacher for giving me the opportunity."

Li Zheng has his own ideas about the new drug for "coldemia". Xu Mingsheng's decision gave Li Zheng a better platform.

Didn't he once said that the appeal of Xiangjiang University is not convincing enough, so a new drug, a new drug that donates its patent proceeds to special drug research, is sufficiently convincing.
