Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2525 If You Don’t Understand, Don’t Come
In the night, the airport is brightly lit.

The hovering plane contacted the ground and began to dive.

With the sound of tires hissing, the plane began to slide on the runway and finally stopped slowly.

As the flight attendant opened the cabin door, a group of people walked down the gangway one after another.

Li Rong took the lead and stepped forward.

A middle-aged woman with blond hair walked out from under the plane, followed by a dozen people.

Most of them are men, and they look quite old.

Both parties hurried forward to meet each other.

"Hello, Ms. Jinsong, welcome!"

Li Rong came up and extended his hand to greet the leading woman.

The middle-aged lady with golden hair immediately shook Li Rong's hand and said, "Thank you, thank you for coming to greet us!"

The two sides exchanged pleasantries, and then Jin Song began to introduce the visitors.

"Ms. Li, this is Mr. Douglas, the leader of this inspection team, who is in charge of this contact."

Li Rong was stunned. He thought that the person who would make the decision this time would be Ms. Jin Song in front of him, but he didn't expect that it was someone else.

My heart skipped a beat, hoping nothing would happen.

Thinking in his heart, his expression remained unchanged, and he quickly extended his hand to greet, "Hello, Mr. Douglas!"

The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and gently shook it, then let go, his face was cold, "Hello!"

After saying that, he glanced around, tightened his clothes, and continued, "Everyone is tired, we need to arrange a hotel as soon as possible."

Douglas said lightly. Li Rong's heart sank, but he kept a smile on his face. "Okay, Captain Douglas."

Seeing that the other party had no intention of introducing themselves, Li Rong did not stay any longer. He turned around and led everyone out of the airport and headed to the arranged accommodation.

After everything was arranged at the hotel, Li Rong found time to go to Jin Song's room.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Rong saw Jin Song's helpless look, and his heart sank again.

"Sorry, dear Li, things may be a little troublesome..."

By the time Li Rong left the hotel, it was already midnight.

But at this moment, she was not sleepy at all. Instead, she was worried and anxious.

It was a little after two in the morning, in the courtyard.

Yang Xiaotao was hugging his wife and sleeping after she finished exercising.

Then I heard Wangcai roaring in the yard.

Then Xiaowei brought news that a stranger in the front yard asked to open the door and walked towards the middle yard.

Yang Xiaotao opened his eyes immediately.

Normally, no one would come to the courtyard at this time.

Even if there were people, they were people from the courtyard who got up to go to the bathroom. Wangcai was familiar with them and didn't react much.

Therefore, the person who could make Wangcai make such a noise must be a stranger.

When someone came at this time, Yang Xiaotao immediately became alert.

He got up, put on his clothes, and went to the door.

Just as I opened the door, I saw a man walking quickly towards the door through the hanging flower gate, followed by two guards.

Only then did Yang Xiaotao see clearly that the person coming was none other than Mr. Chen's secretary Guo.

"Military Yang, you're awake. The commander is looking for you. Please go over now!"

Secretary Guo was also stunned when he saw Yang Xiaotao open the door, and then he spoke quickly without caring about anything else.

Yang Xiaotao frowned when he heard this, then looked at the time. He then thought that the other party came so late, so it went without saying that something must have happened.

So I didn't ask any more questions and quickly replied, "Wait for me for a moment, I'll go change my clothes!"

After saying that, he turned around and went back into the house to put on his clothes.

Ran Qiuye opened her eyes when she heard the noise, and immediately rubbed her eyes when she saw Yang Xiaotao getting dressed, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yang Xiaotao buttoned his shirt and said, "Mr. Chen wants me to go there."

"this late?"

"It must be something important!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he saw the skin exposed when the quilt slipped off, "Have a good sleep, I'll be back soon!"

Ran Qiuye quickly pulled up the quilt, exposed his head and nodded, "Be careful!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, then got dressed and went out.

Arriving in the yard, Yang Xiaotao nodded to Secretary Guo, and they walked out quickly.

In the car, Yang Xiaotao sat in the back seat, rubbing his cheek, and asked casually, "It's so late, what happened?"

Secretary Guo did not hide it, "Ms. Li Rong found the chief in the middle of the night, and then asked me to pick you up!"

"Li Rong? About the inspection team?"

Secretary Guo nodded, "It should be. In addition to you, Director Fang from the Ministry of Health was also called."

Yang Xiaotao nodded. Since he was asked to go, it must be related to him. Yang Xiaotao did not ask.

But I was puzzled. Didn’t the people from the Ministry of Health say that everything was going well during the day?
Could it be that something unexpected has happened and I can't take advantage of it anymore?

The first thing that came to mind was the issue of patenting traditional Chinese medicine. After all, in Yang Xiaotao's view, the other party's special case was for insulin, which is a Western medicine.

If you want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit, it’s not that there is no opportunity, it’s just that the opportunity is not big.

Even at a cost.

Yang Xiaotao thought about it for a while and finally decided to go and take a look.

Half an hour later, the car stopped at Mr. Chen's residence and Yang Xiaotao got out of the car under the guidance of Secretary Guo.

in the living room.

In the main seat, Mr. Chen was chatting with my uncle, and both of them looked tired.

Li Rong, who was standing next to him, was also yawning, with a cup of coffee in front of him.

As for the other person, I don’t know him, but he should be from the Ministry of Health.

Yang Xiaotao walked in and several people looked over. Old Chen hurriedly asked Yang Xiaotao to sit next to him.

"Chief!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded in greeting to Mr. Chen and his uncle, then sat aside and nodded to Li Rong and the others.

"Tea or coffee?"

Mr. Chen asked, and Yang Xiaotao replied, "Coffee, original flavor is fine!"

Bitter, refreshing.

The staff at the door immediately understood.

Mr. Chen then introduced Fang Kui to Yang Xiaotao.

Yang Xiaotao nodded, then sat aside and waited quietly.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's have a meeting!"

"Ms. Li, please tell me the situation first!"

Old Chen spoke, and Li Rong understood. He picked up the coffee and took a sip before speaking.

"The people who came to this inspection team were somewhat unexpected, and things were a little different. It might not be as simple as we thought..."

"We originally wanted to use this opportunity to achieve the goal of having Chinese medicine included in the specialty..."

"According to the information I have learned, Douglas, the leader of the other team, is here for a purpose other than simply conducting an inspection."

"Or, in other words, his investigation has another meaning."

After Li Rong finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao took the coffee from the staff and asked casually, "What does it mean?"

Li Rong pondered for a moment, sorted out his thoughts and said, "The reason why the inspection team delayed its trip north for more than a month is that they are waiting for someone. After passing through the hall, we found out that this person is called Old Cohen!"

"Speaking of this Olde Cohen, he has a special relationship with the international company Novo!"

"And Novo's main business is the production of insulin preparations!"

After Li Rong finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao immediately understood.

"Is this Novo company targeting us?"

The uncle grasped the point and asked, Li Rong nodded, "Yes, I learned from Ms. Jin Song that before our yellow scalper insulin came out, they were an important international insulin manufacturer with a net income of billions every year. In the past two years, their business has spread all over the world. You can imagine the profits they have made!"

"But after our scalper insulin appeared, it brought a huge impact to the entire industry, causing the other party's turnover to drop sharply."

"After learning that we wanted to apply for a patent, they started to go around trying to stop us from applying for a patent, so as to protect their interests!"

"Unfortunately, due to the insistence of the World Health Organization, they ultimately did not stop it."

"But I didn't expect that they would actually send someone to join this investigation team, and the leader of the investigation team is not someone who is easy to deal with."

Having said that, a solemn look appeared on Li Rong's face.

After Li Rong finished explaining the situation, his uncle and Old Chen were both worried, with frowns on their faces.

Lao Fang, who was standing by, was rubbing his forehead, and it was obvious that he was extremely nervous.

Just as several people frowned, Yang Xiaotao was pondering the two words "Novo".

I always feel that this term is familiar in my mind, but I can't remember it for a while.

The room fell into an eerie silence.

"Commander, we need to make a choice this time."

Seeing that no one spoke, Li Rong spoke again.

Old Chen and uncle looked at each other and then nodded.

"I understand what you mean. If things are impossible, we can give up the issue of Chinese medicine being patented and first ensure that Huang Niu Insulin is patented."

Mr. Chen expressed his opinion, and the uncle added, "But we can't agree to it easily."

"Having said that, this was something they took the initiative to ask for, and we were just cooperating."

Yang Xiaotao still hadn't figured out what "Novo" was. When he heard his uncle say that, he remembered what happened at the pharmaceutical factory during the day, so he said, "The chief is right."

"It's not a good deal if you're chasing after it."

"We don't have to obtain patents. Now they are begging us to 'contribute' to the world, not us begging them."

"If they look like they want to negotiate, then let's talk, and have a good talk." "If they want to get something for nothing and still want to cause trouble, then I'm sorry, we don't need to play with them."

"We can have fun playing on our own."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, his uncle nodded with satisfaction.

He likes Yang Xiaotao's personality of not causing trouble but not being afraid of trouble.

"Xiao Yang said it well."

Old Chen also spoke up and said that the bovine insulin itself was an unexpected surprise. If it weren't for Yang Xiaotao's insistence, the Ninth Department would not have invested in it, and there would be no scalp insulin today.

Therefore, Mr. Chen’s mentality is a bit like "if I get it, I'm lucky, if I lose it, it's my fate."

Of course, it would be even better if it could succeed and push the development of traditional Chinese medicine in China to a higher level.

At least it can make a good start in aligning with international standards.

Seeing both of them say this, Li Rong could only nod and said, "Okay, I will have a good chat with the observation team."

But I am still a little reluctant in my heart. After all, this is a very important political achievement.

"We at the pharmaceutical factory will cooperate seriously."

Seeing that Li Rong was insincere, Yang Xiaotao thought about it and took the initiative to speak.

Li Rong nodded after hearing this.

As for Leader Fang from the Ministry of Health, he listened carefully from beginning to end.

When the meeting ended, it was already daybreak outside.

Yang Xiaotao walked out with his uncle.

"I didn't ask you last time. I heard you were going to make a satellite phone?"

Yang Xiaotao hummed, "It's almost done."

"Tell me what's the use?"

"Uncle, this is very useful. For example, you are in the Northeast and I am in the South."

By the time the two men reached the door, Yang Xiaotao had already finished explaining the general features of the satellite phone.

The uncle smoked a cigarette and said seriously, "This satellite phone is very good. It can solve the communication problem."

"You must complete the project as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, if this inspection team hadn't come so suddenly, I would be in the research institute right now."

Uncle smiled and said, "Go back and catch up on your sleep. You need to be careful today."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "I know."

After they finished talking, Yang Xiaotao got in the car.

"To the pharmaceutical factory."

Yang Xiaotao did not return to the courtyard, but went to the pharmaceutical factory.

The driver turned the car around and headed towards the pharmaceutical factory.

When we arrived at the gate of the pharmaceutical factory, the surroundings were silent except for the security officers on duty.

"Yang, Yangbu!"

The two security officers guarding the gate saw Yang Xiaotao getting out of the car and ran over excitedly to salute him.

"Well, hard work."

Yang Xiaotao said, and the two of them quickly straightened their chests and stood at attention, "It's not hard."

"Where's Section Chief Zhao?"

"The section chief is in the duty room."

"Okay, you guys go ahead and I'll go in by myself."

As he said that, Yang Xiaotao walked inside.

"Yes!"

The two of them responded, and after Yang Xiaotao walked away, they quickly called the duty room.

When Yang Xiaotao arrived at the duty room, Zhao Chuanjun hurried out after receiving the news.

"Old Zhao, I thought you were asleep."

Zhao Chuanjun put on his coat and said, "I'm on duty tonight, how can I sleep?"

Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "That's perfect. I'll lend you my bed so I can take a nap."

Zhao Chuanjun was stunned, and then listened to Yang Xiaotao telling him about being called to a meeting in the evening.

"Damn it, you have such a bad heart."

After cursing for a few words, I saw Yang Xiaotao lying on the bed, sleeping with his clothes on.

Zhao Chuanjun did not disturb him, but got up and went out to inspect the factory.

8am.

After taking a nap, Yang Xiaotao got up and went to the cafeteria to eat with Zhao Chuanjun.

At this time, Bai Jingshu and others already knew that Yang Xiaotao had arrived early and was now having dinner together in the restaurant.

Even if you have already eaten, you should still come over and have a bowl of porridge.

"This is how it is. We should cooperate when necessary, but we must not lose our principles."

Yang Xiaotao was drinking rice porridge and eating pickles, and Bai Jingshu beside him nodded immediately.

If Yang Xiaotao hadn't given him a heavy blow during the day, who knows what ridiculous things would have happened today.

After dinner, Xu Yuanshan also came over to take a look, followed by Li Hongfeng and Liu Huaimin. The few of them waited for the other party to come to the pharmaceutical factory.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

The pharmaceutical factory received a call saying that the other party had left the hotel and was expected to arrive in half an hour.

After hearing the news, Yang Xiaotao smiled at Xu Yuanshan and said, "You come here at this time, you really don't take this matter seriously."

Xu Yuanshan smiled and said, "It's not the first or second time they've done this."

Liu Huaimin beside him smiled and poured more tea, "Drink tea, drink tea."

About half past ten.

Yang Xiaotao put down his teacup and stood up. "Let's go. We should go and do something."

Li Hongfeng and several others also stood up and went out together.

They soon arrived at the office building. After waiting for a while, they saw an armored vehicle leading the way, followed by four cars. At first glance, they were newly made in Shanghai. It must be said that they were very suitable for use at this time.

The car stopped, Li Rong and Fang Kui got out first, then came to the second car and welcomed the people down.

As everyone came down one after another, Yang Xiaotao also led his people forward.

"Everyone, this is Mr. Yang Xiaotao, he is the superior of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory."

Li Rong briefly introduced Yang Xiaotao. Most of the people in the inspection team didn't pay much attention to him, but some people's eyes lit up.

Li Rong then introduced the members of the inspection team, "This is Mr. Douglas, the leader of this inspection team."

"Hello, Mr. Douglas."

Yang Xiaotao did not speak English directly, but asked the translator next to him to help translate.

"Hello."

Douglas was indeed a little arrogant, just as Li Rong said.

Yang Xiaotao didn't care. This was all these guys were capable of.

"This is Ms. Jin Song."

Li Rong continued to introduce with a smile.

"Hello, Ms. Jinsong, welcome."

Yang Xiaotao was very polite. Ms. Jin Song had a sincere smile on her thin face. "Hello!"

Li Rong introduced everyone, and Yang Xiaotao led them to the reception room.

The two sides had a brief chat in the reception room and then got down to business as planned.

At the beginning of the meeting, Douglas was the first to speak on behalf of the international organization.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

"This time, I am here on behalf of an international friendly organization to discuss the production status of cattle insulin."

"We will strictly follow the production requirements of insulin, inspect the corresponding production facilities, and implement the methods and regulations, etc."

"We will give the most authentic results of our investigation based on the principles of strictness, rigor, fairness and impartiality."

Papapa

Just after Douglas finished speaking, the applause stopped. When Li Rong was about to continue hosting the next step, Yang Xiaotao, who had been frowning, suddenly stood up and walked calmly to the center.

This scene made Li Rong a little confused.

Li Hongfeng below felt a little itchy on his butt, Liu Huaimin lowered his head in silence, and Xu Yuanshan looked like he was watching a show.

"Mr. Douglas, I would like to ask you what the insulin production requirements are that you are talking about."

Yang Xiaotao asked calmly, using the same tone as Douglas.

Douglas showed an angry expression on his face, and Old Cohen behind him stood up and said, "Mr. Yang, is this your etiquette?"

"What do you mean by making such a fuss?"

Yang Xiaotao didn't even look at him, his eyes were fixed on the angry Douglas.

This made Olde feel despised. His face was full of anger, but he felt a little proud in his heart.

He hoped that the negotiation would fail on the first day, so that his task could be easily completed. However, he still had to perform his role, so he roared at Li Rong standing beside him, "Li Rong, you are going too far."

"This is a serious disrespect and we will report it to our superiors!"

"Mr. Douglas, let's go."

But before Douglas could answer, Yang Xiaotao at the side asked again, "As far as I know, the current production of insulin requires extraction from the pancreas of animals, such as pigs. I won't go into the details of this process."

"But I want to remind Mr. Douglas that the technology we are using now is not the one you mentioned that is extracted from pig pancreas."

"What we use is genetic engineering."

At this point, Yang Xiaotao smiled a smile that was obviously mocking in everyone's eyes, "If you don't understand genetic engineering, then you'd better not come to inspect."

"It saves both of our time."
