Baldwin took off in Atlanta, changed planes twice, and took a day and a night before arriving in Beijing.

"Gibson, how is the situation? Has there been any change in the past 24 hours?" Baldwin asked about the situation here first, regardless of the past.

He and Gibson were college classmates, but Baldwin entered the headquarters and rose to the top, becoming a senior director. Gibson wandered around the world in branches and became a technical talent. His rank was still a senior engineer. But it was three grades behind.

However, the relationship between Baldwin and Gibson has always been good, and Coca-Cola also considered the relationship between Baldwin and Gibson before sending it to China.

In this regard, Coca-Cola still attaches great importance to the Chinese market.

This is also very natural. In a big country with a population of 100 million, if everyone drinks Coca-Cola, it will be a huge market. Coca-Cola will not give up until the last moment.

Moreover, unlike what many Chinese people imagined, Coca-Cola is very confident that China's development will eventually reach the point where everyone can afford Coca-Cola.

Of course, they don't think that China can grow so high or far, but it doesn't take too many years of hard work to reach the level of the Philippines or Malaysia. Most countries can almost reach this level as long as they maintain political stability. Level.

Another country with a large population that is often used for comparison, the development of India can be used as a reference. Although it has not yet reached the level where everyone drinks Coke, even if only one-tenth or two-tenths of people do so, this is It is also a big market not inferior to South America.

For giant multinational corporations like Coca-Cola, their analysis of the international situation has never been determined by brains. Most of the time, Coca-Cola’s board of directors will refer to the analysis of various think tanks. In addition, they will also use Political figures, to understand the actual situation.

For example, the decision to return to China was made by the president of Coca-Cola after President Carter returned to his former residence for a private dinner. Carter was a native of Atlanta, and Coca-Cola was headquartered in Atlanta, which made Coca-Cola's political influence reach its peak in the late 1990s.

However, it is already 1984.

After understanding the situation carefully and in detail, Baldwin warmly greeted Sherwood and others who came to pick him up, and then calmly boarded the car.

After closing the car door, Baldwin couldn't wait to spit out a string of foul words.

"That's his habit." Gibson shrugged to the stunned Sherwood, and said, "He was like this in college."

"Because the priest doesn't want to hear foul language." Baldwin took off his suit and explained to Sherwood with a smile on his face: "I went to a Catholic school. The primary and secondary schools are all Catholic schools. You have to be careful about the priest, really. of……"

"University is Saint Louis University," Gibson added. St. Louis University is the second oldest Jesuit university in the United States, just look at its prefix "Saint".

Sherwood couldn't help laughing: "It's all Catholic schools."

"That's right. Although I'm tired of Catholic schools and priests, I decided to go to a Catholic university." Baldwin asked, "Do you know why?"

"why?"

"Because priests always have various requirements and rules, but if we leave these rules, our life will become chaotic." Baldwin looked at the two and said, "It's like the current China area, the current Coca-Cola in China sucks."

Both Gibson and Sherwood laughed and were speechless.

Baldwin breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Of course, it's not your fault that the Chinese want to do scientific research, but you delayed too late. Nowadays, even if we want to do targeted scientific research, we still lack time. The most important thing is Yes, we don’t even know how far the Chinese have gone in research.”

Sherwood glanced at Gibson and said, "Actually, we know."

"you know?"

"Yes, through Zeneca's relationship, we visited Yang Rui's laboratory."

"Yang Rui giving you a tour?" Baldwin sat up, this is a new situation.

His repeated questioning was not annoying, in fact, Gibson and Sherwood quietly relaxed a little.

This time, it was Busen who said: "The relationship between Zeneca and Yang Rui is better than we imagined. There is some gossip that Yang Rui may hold some shares in the Zeneca coenzyme factory. Therefore, there is a high dividend..."

"This is not gossip. Yang Rui has completely changed the market ecology of coenzymes. Now, Zeneca has defeated Japanese factories in this market. Therefore, it is not surprising that Yang Rui owns some shares." Rich with Sherwood, he paused for a moment, and then he said: "In the first half of this year, Zeneca's coenzyme shipments increased by more than 100%, and the profit it earned exceeded 300 million US dollars... If Yang Rui signed an agreement that is not too bad , he got at least ten thousand dollars in dividends."

"Enough independence to complete the experiment." Gibson grasped the key at once.

"So it's no longer feasible to oppress Yang Rui through official channels?" Sherwood also followed.

Baldwin gave an "en" in dissatisfaction, and said: "Yang Rui is Chinese, how can we oppress him through official channels, the headquarters hopes that we will separate this matter from politics, not the other way around... Tell me about your visit to the laboratory The harvest in the future."

"His experiment went very smoothly, and the design was logical. I wrote a report after I came back. So far, no one has found any academic flaws."

"What about the progress?" This is the question that Baldwin is most concerned about.

Gibson said solemnly: "Their initial plan is a four-week observation and analysis period, and then write the first paper. The next plan will last to four months, followed by a one-year long-term plan. Is there any longer? It's not certain. I don't think we'll be able to stop their tentative plans."

Baldwin asked noncommittally: "It's the second week now? So, there are still two weeks before they can write the first paper?"

"Yes." Gibson turned to ask with a bitter face, "Is there any way we can delay the time for his paper form?"

A paper, from sending it to the journal agency, to the journal agency organizing the review, and giving a conclusion, even if it does not need to be revised, it will take a few weeks or a few months at most. If it is a journal with a large number of submissions, such as this Most of the less important or time-sensitive papers will be picked up after a few months.

During this period of time, powerful people have been given room to maneuver.

Periodicals also eat fireworks. For example, the publisher of the famous "Nature" is the Nature Publishing Group, which is affiliated with Macmillan Publishing Company, and Macmillan Publishing Company is affiliated with Georg von Hotzbu Link Publishing Group.

However, although journals are not absolutely independent, the price of interfering with it is quite high, and they face huge moral and legal risks.

In contrast, it is more meaningful to publish two papers with opposite views in the same periodical, even if it cannot be published in the same periodical, it is the same to publish targeted articles in other influential journals .

There are many such examples, and the more issues that the public cares about, the more different viewpoints will be disturbing. For example, is the ozone hole really caused by Freon? Can biodiesel really make a difference for the environment? Is oil really the product of ancient organic matter? Is global warming really caused by human beings emitting too much carbide?

However, no matter which method is adopted, it means massive financial and political resources.

Baldwin shook his head silently, and said: "It is impossible to produce targeted papers in such a short period of time. Yang Rui has published many papers in many journals, so he is no longer a newcomer."

Having a reputation is like holding a flag for a scientific researcher. Whether it is a magazine or a company organization, it will analyze the countermeasures based on his reputation.

Coca-Cola has a strong relationship with the government, but it does not mean that they can control academia.

If it was a small fresh meat, it might be bullied and kind by now, but Yang Rui marinated himself through papers one after another, maybe not to the level of old salty meat, but it was almost marinated to taste.

"Did you organize a welcome party for me?" Baldwin cut off the two most immediate solutions, but talked about irrelevant things.

Gibson smiled and said, "Of course I'm ready. I got eighteen years old whiskey. Let's have a good drink."

"I hope you have prepared more than one bottle. I have a list here, and they probably also like aged whiskey." Baldwin handed Gibson a note, and said: "I want a safe route to contact the headquarters."
