Back To The Age Of The '80s

Li Zheng opened the door directly, it was a very small shop, the first thing that caught the eye was a low rectangular table with tatami mats behind it, a skinny old Japanese man was leaning against the table, when he saw Li Zheng and his party Come in with a polite smile on your face.

"Please change it into Japanese currency." Li Zheng took out ten US dollars with Benjamin Franklin's face on them.In order to prevent risks, this private exchange agency only accepts international mainstream currencies.In the 80s of the twentieth century, neither the Chinese coins nor the Xiangjiang coins were among the mainstream currencies.

The Japanese old man looked at the young man with a little surprise, "The current exchange rate between the US dollar and the Japanese yen is about 100:2100. For one thousand US dollars, I can give you 20000 yen."

Li Zheng nodded. The private exchange is not as profitable as the official exchange. 1000 yen is only 42 US dollars, which is not expensive.

Seeing that Li Zheng agreed, the old man handed a wad of Japanese yen to Li Zheng with a smile. He glanced at the bags carried by the Chinese scholars behind Li Zheng, and said, "You want to buy small electrical appliances, you don't really need them. Go to Ginza, where the rent is expensive, and the price of things will go up. Let me tell you, go out from me, go straight east, and then turn at the third traffic light, there is a market specializing in selling electrical appliances, the price is not cheap Less."

Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, barely understanding what the old man said, "Thank you, old man." He thanked politely.

The old man waved his hand, "You're welcome, the locals know about it."

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

The faces of the Huaguo scholars were a bit ugly. The colleague who just understood Japanese translated the words of the old man for them, which wiped out the good mood of these old professors who bought their favorite electrical appliances.

In the 80s, the salary of ordinary university professors was no more than 60 yuan a month, equivalent to 700 to 900 yen. In addition to the foreign exchange allocated by the state on a per capita basis, they also dragged a lot of connections in private to exchange their family savings. into Japanese currency.The small appliances they are carrying now are often a family's savings for several years.

Now someone tells them it's expensive.The mood of these professors is naturally not much better, but out of the nobility of scholars and the scruples of the country's face, they can't make any move to return these things.

Li Zheng rubbed his nose, as if he had accidentally spoiled the interest of all the seniors.

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

Li Zhengdan's phoenix eyes were bent into beautiful arcs, and he pointed to the watch in Chen Anbang's hand, "Just exchange this with me." The watch in Chen Anbang's hand is finely crafted but a bit rustic in style. There are three small characters of "five-star brand", and four characters of "Made in Huaguo" are written in the center of the dial.

In [-], the first watch made by Chinese people, the "Five Star" watch, was born in Tianjin, China.In [-], the five-star brand was officially renamed "Wuyi brand".

In the watch world of later generations, the price of Wuyi brand watches has broken through six figures, and the five-star brand watches with a short lifespan of only two years are even more priceless.Naturally, Li Zheng didn't want this watch to collect and sell it for money, but he was touched by the words "Made in Huaguo" and wanted to keep it by his side as a souvenir.

Chen Anbang opened his mouth. This watch is about 30 years old, and it was worn by his father. If it weren't for the fact that life is really hard, he would have changed to a Shanghai brand like his colleagues.

"Little comrade, this is not worth a lot of money. Otherwise, I'll give you an IOU..." At this point, Chen Anbang couldn't continue talking.

"Forget it, forget it, I won't buy it. I'll just let her read the book by herself, no need for a tape recorder." Chen Anbang waved his hand, as if he didn't care.

"The first batch of watches made in Huaguo is worth much more to me than this wad of yen. If it has no special meaning to you, I beg you to exchange it for me. Just keep it by your side Keep it in your mind." Li Zheng's voice was not high, but it was hard to conceal the shock in the hearts of all Huaguo scholars.

Professor Meng took a deep look at Li Zheng, "Xiao Chen, you can trade with him. Comrade Xiao has a heart."

Although Chen Anbang was still a little embarrassed, but seeing Li Zheng's serious expression, he finally took off his watch with a wry smile, "If you come to Huaguo 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 anytime."

After exchanging foreign exchange, Li Zheng did not go to the home appliance market with the Huaguo scholar.The communication between people should be gradual, and it is not beautiful to be too attentive.

"Cuckoo..." Li Zheng's stomach couldn't help making noises, and he rubbed his stomach.

Eel rice, eel rice~

The next day, Li Zheng and his party of six arrived at the gate of the conference venue in the hotel car.

Xu Mingsheng led the people through the hall familiarly, and came to a gate with "Asian Biopharmaceutical Conference Venue" written in 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, glanced at the seats already occupied, and suddenly met a surprised look. Li Zheng smiled politely at Professor Meng, and Professor Meng opened his mouth wide to watch Li Zheng pass by them. Seats, go to the front two rows and sit down.

"Old He, look, isn't that little comrade the one we met yesterday?" Professor Meng hurriedly punched Professor He's hand.

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

"Hey? Really! It's really that young man 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 where Xiangjiang University is."

Xiangjiang... an unspeakable silence spread around everyone.This term always has a special status in the hearts of Chinese people.

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

"Yes, yes, Xiangjiang will definitely return!"

"That little comrade, he never forgets his motherland in Xiangjiang. With such a person, why don't you worry about Xiangjiang not coming back!"

On the other side, Xu Mingsheng looked at the schedule of the conference and said with a chuckle, "It's Richard from the University of London. He was nominated for the Nobel the year before last. I didn't expect the conference to invite him as a guest."

Both belong to the institutions of higher learning under the rule of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Xu Mingsheng and Richard have dealt with each other many times.

"The first academic report was given by the medical laboratory of the University of London, which he brought over. It was stressful."

The first academic report was given by the Medical Laboratory of the University of London, and the last finale was given by Richard himself.Others, including the host University of Tokyo, will draw lots to determine the order.

Xiangjiang University is not bad luck, the eighth place belongs to the front of the middle.

It's just that the expressions of Xu Mingsheng and the three of them changed as soon as the academic report of the Medical Laboratory of the University of London began.The University of London's talk at the meeting was "A Clear Model of the RESE Virus".

"How could this happen! Old Xu, what should we do?" Even though he was usually calm, Professor Zhao still seemed a little flustered in the face of this situation.

Ink could almost drip from Xu Mingsheng's face.The Asian Biopharmaceutical Conference, as you can tell from the name, is a conference for academic exchanges between many institutions of higher learning and research institutions in Asia.

The academic report is the most important part of it.

As a top institution of higher learning in Asia, Xiangjiang University needs to make two reports at the meeting, one academic report and one responsibility report.

Responsibility reports are several Asian institutions of higher learning expressing their sense of social responsibility on behalf of the Asian biological community. Hong Kong University's is to call for attention to special diseases such as "frozen blood syndrome".

This academic report cannot be so casual, it represents the academic level of a school, and will even affect the school's global ranking in the coming year.Therefore, Xiangjiang University chose the SCI paper "Conjecture on the Shape of RESE Virus" which was just published in "Virus" in July this year.

But now, the University of London has even made a clear model of the RESE virus. They will guess again, aren't they slapping themselves in the face?

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

Professor Zhao and Professor Wang looked at each other and smiled wryly at the same time. This year, Xiangjiang University's biopharmaceuticals produced a total of global research results.If they take the past two years as an example, 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 warm applause. Zhang Yuejun and Yang Ning bowed their heads like two quails. Xu Mingsheng glanced at the frowning Li Zheng. He suddenly remembered something, and a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes.

"Li Zheng, have you finished your thesis yet?"

Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Xu Mingsheng was talking about the thesis on the drug "Frozen Blood Disease". His face revealed a look of astonishment, "The first draft is finished..."

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

Li Zheng was dumbfounded, really let him go on stage...

"It's just a first draft, I'm afraid it's not rigorous enough."

Xu Mingsheng waved his hand, "A new drug is enough to overwhelm the limelight of all schools, but this drug patent..." He gritted his teeth, "Each school is half an hour, and there are three and a half hours left. Xiao 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 hint of apology on his face.

"Li Zheng, this thesis belongs to you personally, I..." Xu Mingsheng carefully considered his words, if it wasn't really impossible, he wouldn't have said that.

Li Zheng chuckled, "Teacher, I didn't intend to gain benefits from this new drug. I have to thank you, Teacher, for giving me the opportunity."

Li Zheng had his own ideas about the new drug for "frozen blood disease". Xu Mingsheng's decision gave Li Zheng a better platform.

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