Passing through the customs passage, Wu Hongbo stomped on the red carpet under his feet, and said with a smile: "I never thought that my old Wu would also have the opportunity to cross the Pacific Ocean and personally criticize the decadent capitalism in the United States. We have officially arrived in the United States. is not it?"

Qing Zhiyong followed closely behind. He was also a colleague of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He was still not used to Wu Hongbo's unrestrained speech, so he couldn't help sighing, and said, "Old Wu, you should pretend to be a little bit. It's been out three or four times."

Wu Hongbo also learned to sigh, and said: "Lao Qing, I didn't see that, you are so weak, you are still good at breaking the stage."

"Who's limp!" Qing Zhi bravely almost threw the bag on his face.

"Be careful when you're abroad." Wu Hongbo suddenly pretended to be serious, and snarled backwards.

Qing Zhiyong saw that behind him was the team leader sent by the foreign affairs department, and he couldn't help but quiet down.

Nowadays, foreign affairs discipline and so on are still subject to repeated orders to those who go abroad. Even if this trip abroad is organized by Huarui Laboratory, there will be no exceptions.

"Let's go to the hotel to rest first, everyone take a shower to catch up on sleep or something, have dinner together in the afternoon, and we can go out tomorrow." The team leader was most afraid of accidents, and when he heard what Qing Zhiyong and others said, he stood at the exit and explained loudly Get up and say again and again: "Everyone is a high-level intellectual. When you go out, you must pay attention to your image. Let's not talk about winning glory for the country, but you can't smear the motherland. You can't let foreigners say what we Chinese are. Now, please pay attention to your international image, don't go out alone, two people in a row, three people in a row..."

Tang Zhong couldn't help laughing, and said in a moderate voice, "Yes, we are all big soldiers. Foreigners are all ants."

The ants follow the route of the ants in front of them when they go out. Everyone is a student of biology, and they don't need to turn their heads, just find it interesting and smile.

The team leader just pretended not to hear it and continued to preach discipline.

The staff of the foreign affairs department still remember Yang Rui's performance abroad. The last team leader who came out with Yang Rui was unlucky at his grandma's house, and no one wanted to repeat the same mistakes.

Therefore, this one is also a rare gentle and gentle, submissive.

Wu Hongbo understood and helped to maintain order, saying: "Everyone heard what Section Chief Ma said, don't run around today, catch up with group activities tomorrow, and have some time to go shopping."

Wu Hongbo likes to play jokes, but with the title and position of "Faculty Committee Member", which is equivalent to an academician, his jumping off can only be attributed to his true temperament.

Its prestige among scholars rose instead of falling.

The team leader is a department-level cadre, and Section Chief Ma said gratefully: "Thank you for speaking for me. If I want to speak for myself, everyone probably doesn't want to listen."

"It's okay, we are all in the sciences, and we pay attention to order, which is different from the annoying ghosts in the liberal arts." Wu Hongbo replied casually, not forgetting to hurt others.

Chief Ma laughed a few times, and hurriedly chased after the older scholar to get his luggage.

This time, Yang Rui applied for an overseas study tour in the name of the ion channel laboratory, and used his own Huarui laboratory as a sponsor. His left hand paid for his right hand, and the scale was very large.

Counting from top to bottom, the members of the academic department alone include Professor Cai and Wu Hongbo, two associate members of the academic department, Shen Xingde and An Linhai, plus researcher Qing Zhiyong from the Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Liu Yuzhuang and Jin Yuan from Tsinghua University. Professors, Wang Yong, Tang Ji, Lu Yueping, Xu Zhengping and others from Peking University, he has invited half of the biological research circles in Beijing.

A team of this size is enough to hold a successful conference in China. After a successful conference, it is possible to make several resolutions that affect the entire biological or medical world.

This is the case in the academic world. No matter how large it is, only a small group of people have the right to speak. And unlike the political circle, which needs to maintain routine work for a long time, the academic circle only needs to maintain its authority. For example, in the medical field, who formulates medical norms and who develops new surgical methods has the right to make decisions. In the biological world, new research directions, new books, and research funds are basically determined. The direction of the entire research field, even if there is an accident, is usually a change within the academic circle. The intervention of forces outside the academic circle can certainly bring about changes, but most of them can only lead to regression rather than progress.

There may be a chance for laymen to guide experts in the industry, but there is only a dead end in the academic world.

In fact, if it wasn't for Yang Rui's identity as an ion channel laboratory, the help of Professor Cai, and the support of financial sponsors such as Huarui Laboratory, he would not be able to gather such a delegation, especially those from across schools and departments. The inspection team is even rarer.

Apart from other things, if you want to bring together people from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Tsinghua University, people below the academic committee members should never even think about it.

However, this is also the purpose of Yang Rui's painstaking efforts to form a group. With half of the country to support him, his foundation in the country is stable, and no matter how much benefits he gets from PCR in the future, he will not make any troubles.

From Yang Rui's point of view, it is more important to stabilize the base than to look good overseas.

Therefore, when he did this, he tried his best to do it well.

A group of people talked and laughed and got on the bus, and arrived at the Kempinski Hotel that Yang Rui had booked smoothly.

A hotel with a super five-star standard looks impressive from the outside.

Wu Hongbo, who was sitting in the front, paused as soon as he got out of the car, turned around to find Yang Rui, and asked, "Isn't there a mistake, why did you get here?"

He had gone abroad for inspection ten years ago, and he was given a place in the first batch of US tour groups after Nixon's visit to China, but he still had no chance to get his hands on a luxury hotel like this.

The expense of hundreds of dollars a day is far beyond the current domestic travel standards.

As far as 1984 was concerned, when cadres at the departmental level came to the United States, they could not necessarily afford to live in star-rated hotels in big cities, and sleeping in small hotels was the norm.

"You are an academician of our country, the highest honor in the scientific community, what's wrong with staying in a good hotel." Yang Rui had just earned tens of millions of dollars, and there was really no pressure to spend. He helped Wu Hongbo put the box on the waiter and pushed it over. The luggage cart was handed over to the consumer, and he said with a smile: "Professor Wu, you have to testify to me that this trip has been hard. Sinovel is going to give a series of subsidies such as lost wages and labor costs, and the hotel you live in should be better." .You say yes."

"The hotel booked by Huarui?"

"It's decided by Huarui." Huarui Company belongs to Yang Rui, so he can say whatever he wants.

"Yeah, it's not a bad thing to have sex." Wu Hongbo put his hands in his pockets freely, walked into the hotel lobby,

Kempinski is a luxury hotel above the benchmark, with top-notch decoration and service. Yang Rui invited everyone to check in, and then took them to familiarize themselves with the hotel's facilities.

Everyone can't go out today, and can only do activities in the hotel. Activities such as eating, swimming, and massage are naturally more interesting than sitting blindly in the room.

After dinner, Yang Rui dragged Professor Cai to deliver shopping cards room by room.

Of course, this time, Yang Rui's name was to be hung on the front.

Before Professor Cai handed over the envelope containing the shopping card, he had to make a special statement: Yang Rui specially wanted to come, and there was no such thing.

The next day, the bus was full of people and headed to the shopping plaza before Christmas.

The warehouses and valleys full of commodities, large and small, instantly confused everyone's eyes.

"There is 500 US dollars in a shopping card, and the three shopping cards given to you can be used together. If you can't use them up in the end, you can't get a refund. You can count it." Yang Rui reminded Wu Hongbo in a low voice.

Wu Hongbo nodded slightly, glanced at Yang Rui, and said with a smile, "Hua Rui is generous."

"Should be." Yang Rui didn't need to explain, he told Wu Hongbo a few things about shopping, and then went to explain to other scholars.

The inflation of the U.S. dollar is not too high, but over the past 30 years, the purchasing power has also been greatly reduced. The 500 U.S. dollars in the 1980s can be used as more than 1,000 U.S. dollars 30 years later, and the discount before Christmas is included. Enough to surprise everyone.

Of course, what was even more surprising was seeing the frantic panic buying by Americans. The crowd in the supermarket competed like crazy for daily necessities, which made people feel emotional.

"It turns out that Americans also have places like this." Lu Yueping, who had just experienced the wave of domestic competition for salt, soy sauce, and tobacco, was even more emotional.

The team leader took the opportunity to come over and said with a smile: "In the colorful world of capitalism, the poor and the rich are not like our country. After it develops, everyone will work together towards a well-off life..."

"Are these the poor in America?" Lu Yueping watched as someone stuffed several cases of beer into the shopping cart in one go.

The team leader laughed and said, "These people are neither rich nor poor. The poorest Americans live in slums and can't afford to buy food. Unlike our country, after development, everyone lives upstairs and downstairs, with electric lights and telephones."
