"The conference room is gone. You can print the thesis brochure." The staff of the organizing committee answered Huang Mao's request without looking up, very formulaic.

Huang Mao thought to himself that if the conference room is crowded enough to be able to sit down, it is more important to print the booklet.

Therefore, Huang Mao said kindly: "Then I will trouble you, and I will print another 100 papers."

The staff of the organizing committee suddenly raised their heads, but they sneered: "100 papers, who do you think you are? James. Dewey. Watson?

Several scholars around laughed naturally.

Huang Mao's face turned red all of a sudden, he was not good at arguing, so he asked, "How many copies can you reprint?"

"The organizing committee can give you two copies for free." The staff member from the United States smiled and showed his big teeth, and said: "Usually enough, you should have enough, don't think too much, most of the If people take away the thesis booklet, they may not necessarily read it.”

Huang Mao couldn't help it: "Whether they read it or not, we know."

"Whatever you want." The American shrugged and raised his chin a little arrogantly. At least in Huang Mao's view, the expression of the American was extremely arrogant.

"Give me 2 copies first." Huang Mao swallowed his displeasure, thinking that he could print as much as he could.

The American let out a "huh" and said, "Just wait."

Huang Mao was in a hurry, and hurriedly asked: "How long will it take to wait? The paper booklet will be finished soon."

"If you can't wait, you can make copies yourself." The American pointed to the back room, and said, "Each set of papers - US dollars."

"-dollar!" Huang Mao couldn't catch his breath, wishing he could choke himself to death.

Although in Yang Rui's Huarui laboratory, instruments worth tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars have been used for a long time, and reagents worth hundreds of thousands of dollars are often used, but he will not carry a dollar in his pocket.

In fact, even if there are US dollars in his pocket, Huang Mao is reluctant to use them. No matter how rare the copiers are now, it is not enough to copy a set of papers for - US dollars.

Huang Mao argued hard, and the staff of the organizing committee didn't give a shit about him, they just said: "If you want to copy at your own expense, you have to pay. If you want to apply for free copy, you can fill in the form and wait in line."

"I'll pay and keep the account first." Huang Mao couldn't wait any longer. Huarui Lab had done experiments for more than three months, and the total cost exceeded 100,000 US dollars.

The staff of the organizing committee shook their heads and said, "You can't keep accounts."

"You..." Huang Mao pointed his finger, feeling helpless. The other party is a foreigner, so you can't go up and tear it up.

After staying there for two seconds, Huang Mao turned around and ran back. Yang Rui always had money on him. As for whether he had as much as tens of dollars, he could only rely on his luck.

The staff behind laughed again. International conferences also need to make money. For Chinese scholars who have just set foot in the international world, international conferences are naturally a very high-level existence, but for foreign organizations that have been playing international conferences for decades, international conferences can also make money. At the very least, it can break even and be slightly profitable.

Photocopies cost money, and additional registration fees are actually required to participate in conferences and even report meetings. It is just a domestic mechanism that makes TCM foreign trade have to pay for this part of the money, otherwise the current poor research institutions will not be able to come up with foreign exchange at all. , the international conference they hold is meaningless.

However, what National Medical International Trade is willing to pay or has to pay is the registration fee. Naturally, National Medical Foreign Trade will not pay such money for copying alone, but the conference organizing committee will not charge less money because of Chinese characteristics. Relatively, The staff of the organizing committee who have seen the backward China in the 1980s are even more prejudiced against Chinese scholars.

After a while, Huang Mao ran back to the conference hall.

At this time, there were almost no papers in front of Yang Rui, and the number of scholars asking for them continued unabated, and he could not give them to anyone or not.

When Huang Mao got in, he watched helplessly as the paper booklet glowed.

When Yang Rui saw Huang Mao coming back, he comforted him loudly: "Everyone, please wait a moment, my colleague has already made copies of the papers."

The people who were waiting to read the papers quieted down, and then looked at Huang Mao eagerly.

Huang Mao was speechless for a moment.

Yang Rui touched him and said in Chinese, "Where's the paper?"

"One-dollar, I don't have any money." Huang Mao wiped his forehead, wanting to solve the main problem first.

Yang Rui frowned slightly: "Didn't the organizing committee give some copies for free? We printed them ourselves before, so let's ask them to make some copies for emergency."

"I know, but it takes a long time to wait for free copying. If you want it right away, you have to pay. One copy is $3, and 10 copies are $3... With so many people, six copies are $150. Damn, and grab The money is about the same.” Huang Mao gritted his teeth, 150 US dollars can be exchanged for more than 106 yuan, which is his salary for more than half a year

Yang Rui knew that copying would cost money, but he didn't expect to have to wait for free copying. At this time, he had no choice. First, he took money out of his pocket and stuffed it all into Huang Mao, saying: "Print as many copies as you can. If you call the laboratory again, there should still be money in the account."

At this moment, the foreigner who was waiting next to him also saw that something was wrong, and a white-haired old man was the first to ask.

Yang Rui immediately repeated Huang Mao's words, then cupped his hands and said, "I'm really sorry, I didn't expect to need so many papers. Let's solve this problem as soon as possible."

"I'll also help you solve a problem." The white-haired old man stood up and said, "There shouldn't be a waiting time for free copying. I'll tell you."

Huang Mao didn't care who this person was, and hurriedly led him there.

When they arrived at the office of the organizing committee, the staff saw a warm-hearted old man with white hair, but they suddenly became enthusiastic: "Mr. Chargaff, why are you here?"

"I want to see this Chinese scholar's thesis. You won't copy it, so of course I can only do it myself." Chargaff's voice was loud, and he immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room.

I saw that he didn't want anyone's help, he went directly to the copier and started to copy by himself. While copying, Chargaff scolded the conference organizing committee.

When they printed more than 6 papers and left, the staff were almost scolded and cried.

"After we confirm what you said, we will fire him." The person in charge had to promise Chargaff so.

Chargaff said in disbelief: "The point is not that he is alone. You all have problems. I suggest you listen to Yang Rui's report."

Several people in charge present nodded quickly.

However, when they arrived at the meeting room, it was already so crowded that they couldn't get in.

"How to arrange such a small conference room, is the organizing committee's brain confused?" The researchers who came to listen to the report are all researchers, and it is better to expect the conference room to be automatically enlarged than to expect them to be well-behaved.

The leader of the organizing committee who came back with Chargaff and Huang Mao had a fever on his face.

On the other side, Richard was already dumbfounded.

This is an international conference, and there are only a few hundred scholars who are invited here, but there are five or six lectures held at the same time. A conference room with 6 people is full, and I am afraid that half of the researchers will be crammed into it. This kind of treatment , Richard himself has not enjoyed it.
