Looking at the impatient Gareth Toure, Corinna Asensio smiled softly and said to him:
"Mr. Gareth, you are a little too impatient. Now is not the best time to take action - I wonder if you have read China's famous book "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?"
""Three Kingdoms"?"
Gareth Toure was slightly taken aback and quickly replied:
"I've only had a cursory look at it."
Corinna Asensio picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of coffee. After putting down the cup, she explained:
"There are many classic ambush battles in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the planners of these ambush battles all ordered the charge with arrows only after the opponent's leading troops passed through the ambush area."
"Because if you rush to attack the vanguard, the opponent only needs to change their formation and make a smooth retreat at a small loss."
"But if we let this part of the enemy go first, try to lure the enemy deeper, and wait until their food, grass and baggage enter the ambush circle, then the effect of the ambush will be completely different."
"The vanguard will then become a drag on the entire team and be surrounded and annihilated."
After Gareth Toure listened to these words quietly, he was silent for a moment and asked tentatively:
"So Ms. Corinne, you mean..."
Corinna looked at each other calmly with Bayer's representative, Adams Boronnat, the current vice president of Greater China, and explained:
"Mr. Gareth, you should know that Huadun Biotech's products are not electronic goods and need to be transported through logistics."
"After customers place an order, it takes about two to three days to receive the goods."
"In other words, in the first 70 hours after the price war started, Huadun Biotech had to spend a sum of logistics, publicity and product costs every minute - because for every product sold, they will inevitably continue to produce another.
Send new products to fill inventory.”
"Under the premise that everything is normal, there is no problem with this model - because as far as we know they have opened up the channels, the online merchant platform will settle the funds immediately after inputting the logistics information, and there is no backlog in the capital chain."
"But don't forget...the funds settled by the online merchant platform are loans in nature. That is, if the customer returns the goods or refuses to accept it, this part of the money must be returned to the platform in real time."
As Corinna spoke, she couldn't help but lick the corners of her bright red mouth, with a hint of ruthlessness in her allure:
"If Huadun Biotech breaks out a scandal when the first batch of customers are about to receive their goods, then a large number of unopened products will definitely be returned."
[Recommended, Yeguo Reading is really useful. Download it here. yeguoyuedu. You can try it soon.]
"As a result, Huadun Biotech will have to spend at least millions in additional production and logistics costs."
"Although the money is not a lot, for us, it is just a matter of waiting two more days."
"There are no customers who can experience the effects of the product, and at the same time, it can add a few bundles of straw to Huadun Biotechnology. Mr. Gareth, why not do it?"
The more Gareth Toure listened, the brighter his eyes became, and by the end he burst into laughter.
........
However, Xu Yun, who was far away in Luzhou, did not know about the conversation that took place on webex, nor did he know that a conspiracy surrounding him was approaching the closing stage.
After he confirmed that there was no abnormality in the data, he temporarily put his worries behind him and began to prepare for other things.
Two days later.
Half past nine in the morning.
Xu Yun was wearing an ordinary Semir winter coat and a pair of headphones, and came to the South Alley Cat Cafe alone.
months ago.
It was in this cat cafe that he and Gu Qunqing had a simplified version of the Luzhou version of 'Longzhong Dual'.
Gu Qunqing pointed out the current shortcomings for him, which was regarded as teaching Xu Yun a lesson.
And today.
He wants to do it in this coffee shop...
The first blind date in this life.
After entering the store.
Xu Yun randomly found a seat to sit down, ordered a glass of lemonade, and quietly scrolled through his phone.
The time he agreed with the girl named Weng Yujing was ten o'clock this morning, and now there is still half an hour before the agreed time.
It was only out of respect that Xu Yun arrived here in advance.
However, he only waited for less than ten minutes when a nice voice came to his ears:
"Hello, are you Xu Yun?"
Xu Yun raised his head and found a girl standing to his left.
The girl is about 1.6 meters tall, with a neat single ponytail. Her appearance is not stunning but quite delicate. With her clear eyes, she exudes a fresh and natural atmosphere from the inside out.
Seeing the other party mention his name, Xu Yun had some idea in his heart:
"Yes, I am Xu Yun, you are..."
Hearing this, the girl shook her phone screen at him, and it was Xu Yun's WeChat message:
"Hello, I am Weng Yujing. Dr. Xu has been waiting for a long time."
Xu Yun quickly waved his hand:
"No, no, I've just arrived a while ago, come on, take a seat first."
The seat Xu Yun chose was a booth, and there was enough area on the seat to place clothes and backpacks.
Wait until the girl puts away her scarf and satchel.
Xu Yun gestured to the waiter and asked her:
"Want something to drink?"
Weng Yujing took the menu and glanced at it for a few times, then slightly clicked her tongue:
"It's so expensive... Let's have a cup of hot chocolate."
Xu Yun ordered an Americano.
After the waiter leaves.
Weng Yujing stretched out her hand generously and said to Xu Yun:
"Let me introduce myself, Weng Yujing, a native of Jinling. I am 23 this year. Just call me Xiaoweng."
Xu Yun was slightly startled, but quickly extended his hand to shake it:
"Xu Yun, 24 years old, holds a doctorate from the University of Science and Technology. I am one year older. You can call me Lao Xu or Brother Xu."
After letting go of your hand.
Xu Yun looked at Weng Yujing curiously and asked:
"Xiao Weng, look at the content in your circle of friends...have you just arrived in Luzhou?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Well, I've only been here a few days, and I'm not familiar with anything."
Weng Yujing nodded slightly, then wrinkled her nose angrily and said:
"Otherwise I wouldn't have chosen this store. A cup of hot chocolate costs 28. I'm crazy about money."
Xu Yun smiled when he heard this, moved his chin toward the office building outside the window, and said:
"This store is indeed not cheap, but its main customers are not ordinary people either."
“Either internet celebrities taking photos of afternoon tea, or managers or white-collar workers interviewing for mid- to high-level positions – there are business districts nearby, so there are quite a few target groups like this.”
Weng Yujing nodded clearly.
Two minutes passed.
The waiter brought their drinks to the table.
Xu Yun first added two spoons of sugar to the coffee, stirred it and asked:
"Xiao Weng, you are only 23 years old now, why do you..."
"Just going out on a blind date, right?"
Weng Yujing took over the conversation calmly, and the girl shrugged helplessly:
"There's nothing I can do, the elders in my family are forcing me to do it."
"They had objections when I first started studying chemistry. After graduating from my senior year this year, I went through summer camp, and after completing the re-examination process, I can enter HKUST for graduate school."
"It turned out that my mother said that it was okay to take the postgraduate entrance examination, but she had to find a boyfriend, so she wouldn't be able to get married. Other girls were so cute when they were 23 years old, but I can push them away. They are really dear to me.
mom......"
Xu Yun immediately cast a sympathetic look at the girl.
Of course.
Weng Yujing seems to be complaining about her parents, but it is not difficult to tell from the lines that she should still have a good relationship with her family.
But then.
Xu Yun's attention was focused on the first half of Weng Yujing's sentence:
"Xiao Weng, you just said that you went to summer camp... So you went to HKUST as a graduate student?"
Weng Yujing nodded and scratched her head sheepishly:
"Yes, actually I was originally going to fill in the nine-putt, but I couldn't stand my roommate's invitation, so I went to the summer camp with her to eat and have fun."
"Unexpectedly, I got more than ten offers..."
Xu Yun:
"...?!"
The nine referrals mentioned by Weng Yujing refer to the September promotion and exemption system, which is the Yanzhao.com recommendation and exemption system, also known as the "national recommendation and exemption service system".
Nine promotions, like summer camps, are a process in the research stage.
After successfully passing the postgraduate entrance examination, basically all you need to do is go for a re-examination.
Summer camps in most schools are usually held between June and July. Some top universities will release relevant notices or enrollment brochures for summer camps in advance around March or April.
Jiutui will issue a notice around mid-to-late September, and it will not be held until the push-free service system is opened on September 28.
Compared with the Nine Push, the gold content of summer camp is higher.
Because the summer camp started relatively early, all outstanding security researchers don’t have offers yet.
Therefore, most people come to summer camps to find opportunities, which is a mutual understanding between colleges and students.
In addition, there is a pre-push exemption between summer camp and nine-push, which is equivalent to a simplified version of summer camp.
The pre-recommendation omits the lectures and various special activities in the summer camp and goes directly to the written interview and other aspects.
Pre-recommendation exemptions and summer camps are both actions of colleges and universities, while nine-recommendation is the ‘official standard’ of the education system.
Only when you fill in your application in the "Nine Recommendation" system, and be accepted by the school and confirmed by yourself, can you be considered to have received a real postgraduate offer.
That's why.
So every September 28th, there is a large-scale mutual release of pigeons. Every year, there are a bunch of students or universities cooing...
And now this student Xiao Weng has been able to get multiple offers at the summer camp, so his ability is obviously extraordinary.
As for what she said about eating and drinking, it was obviously a kind of Versailles.
Xu Yun often used it when writing novels in his previous life...
Then Xu Yun suddenly thought of something and blinked:
"Xiao Weng, if I remember correctly, the article "topi t chemistry" in your circle of friends seemed to be published in October, right?"
"Yes."
"So you didn't rely on that paper to secure your graduate degree?"
"Of course not."
Weng Yujing shook her head quickly:
"When I was in college, I was in the top three in my majors for four consecutive years, and then I also had two papers in the third area of SCI. I got the first grade in Dahua once, and the second grade in modeling once. With these results, I didn't need that paper.
It can also protect your research.”
"It's just that I hadn't decided which school to go to at that time - I originally thought that if I didn't pass the thesis, I would go to the National University of Science and Technology of China, and if I passed the thesis, I would go to the University of Science and Technology of China, so the thesis still has some influence on the final result."
Xu Yun:
"...."
All right.
As expected, this person is also a true academic.
Not sure if she was interested or not, after Weng Yujing finished explaining her situation, she turned to Xu Yun and asked:
"Brother Xu, you are also very impressive. I read the article "Nucleic Acids Res" you published before after it was published."
"How did you come up with the idea of using in vitro protein expression and purification to obtain high-purity recombinant proteins of two OBPs? Even my teacher thinks this step is too precise."
"Oh, what step do you want to take?"
When he heard the other party asking about the paper, Xu Yun suddenly became interested and explained:
"If I remember correctly, at that time I thought that the two recombinant proteins obp26 and obp40 were very suitable for small molecule fluorescence competition experiments, so I asked a friend of mine who was very angry to try it. Unexpectedly, the final result was unexpected.
Somewhat gratifying..."
"Then why are we still discussing 3,11-dimethyln-heptacosane-2-one?"
"Because the cyclized hydrogen will relatively..."
The two of them discussed the issues related to the thesis in the booth, and then branched out to the precise synthesis of thiol-ene and other issues...
More than an hour later.
Weng Yujing closed the dense notebook with a trace of gratitude and respect in her eyes:
"Dr. Xu, thank you so much!"
"You don't know how long I have been trapped by these problems. It is no exaggeration to say that even when I was dreaming, I was thinking about how to deal with the oxidation state of functional groups..."
I don't know if it was because she was too excited, but Weng Yujing even used the honorific title "you".
Xu Yun smiled and waved his hand when he heard this. He also gained a little from the exchange with this girl:
"Xiao Weng, you are so polite. Many of your opinions have inspired me."
Then he suddenly thought of something and added:
"By the way, Xiaoweng, with the summer camp offer in hand, you basically won't have any problems passing the re-examination."
"That is, after March, we will be alumni. In this case..."
"If you have time after school, would you like to come to my company and help me?"
"Chemistry and biology have been a family since ancient times. Our company is currently short of manpower in chemistry - if you want to come, I will pay you by the hour. The hourly wages of part-time workers are based on the standard of employees."
"Huadun Biotech?"
Weng Yujing whispered the name of Xu Yun's company - she had already read Xu Yun's paper, so she naturally knew something about Xu Yun's business landscape.
The girl was silent for a moment and asked tentatively:
"No problem, but Brother Xu... how about I go to report in two days instead of waiting for school to start?"
As she spoke, she scratched her head in embarrassment and explained:
"Brother Xu, to tell you the truth, I earned my college tuition by working on my own, so that's why I came to Luzhou in advance."
"Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the fact that middle and high school students have a need for supplementary classes during the winter vacation and find a family that needs a chemistry teacher to be a tutor, so that I can continue to work stably after school starts."
"But if you have the opportunity to work in a company, it will definitely be much better than tutoring..."
Xu Yun was stunned for a moment, then he laughed immediately after coming back to his senses:
"Of course it's no problem. How about this, Xiaowen, let's find a place to have lunch, and then I'll take you to the company to report?"
Weng Yujing naturally agreed happily.
........
ten minutes later.
After sitting for more than two hours, Xu Yun's abdomen felt a little bloated, so he left his seat and went to the bathroom.
Just at this time.
Xu Yun’s mother also sent a WeChat message:
【Son, is everything going well?】
Xu Yun quickly replied:
[Well, it went very well, Xiao Weng can join the job today]
Xu’s mother:
【?????????】
Xu Yun then stuffed his phone back into his pocket, washed his hands and returned to the cafe, preparing to treat Weng Yujing to a meal.
But I just got to the edge of my seat.
Xu Yun then noticed that the girl was looking at the screen of her mobile phone, her brows were furrowed and her expression was a little strange.
Seeing this situation, Xu Yun couldn't help but ask:
"Xiao Weng, what's wrong?"
It was only then that Weng Yujing noticed Xu Yun, and she quickly raised her phone screen towards him:
