Chapter 604 Closing Day Speech
At four o'clock in the morning, Zhang Hongjun woke up.
His nerves were so excited that he couldn't sleep at all.
However, today is really important. Zhang Hongjun forced himself to sleep for another hour, but he just turned around and repeated in the bed. After waiting for a long time, he did not hear the five o'clock alarm he had set, so he simply stopped going to sleep, got up and washed up in the bathroom.
The driver who was in the room heard the sound, rubbed his eyes and looked at the watch, and couldn't help but complain, "It's only 4:30."
"Master Kong, sorry, I have to go to the venue to see how the preparations are going. Otherwise, you can go to bed first, and I will call you after five o'clock. I will boil some water first and make tea for us later." Zhang Hongjun apologized with a smile, and he was also counting on the other party to drive him.
As the saying goes, the driver turned over and said, "You buy breakfast."
"No problem, you sleep for a while. When you wake up, I will buy breakfast." Zhang Hongjun said, taking a flashlight, going downstairs to find a vending machine, taking out a few coins, buying milk and biscuits, thinking about it, and buying himself a bag of biscuits.
Standing next to the slightly shiny vending machine, Zhang Hongjun ate the biscuits voraciously, and then silently warned himself: Zhang Hongjun, this opportunity is too rare, you must seize it!
When he returned to the room, Zhang Hongjun sat until five o'clock, shouted at the driver, and smiled and said, "Master Kong, let's go first, please trouble you. I have something to eat first, should we eat before leaving, or in the car?"
Master Kong was called up, looked at his watch, and said helplessly, "It's just over five o'clock."
"Go and go early and come back soon." Zhang Hongjun smiled and poured some hot water into Master Kong's cup.
Master Kong looked down and poured it on his head.
Zhang Hongjun said "ah" and thought he would see the scene of Master Kong's hair expanding and curling.
However, Master Kong just wiped his face randomly with his hands and said, "I had half a jar of water left last night, and I just washed my face."
Zhang Hongjun then breathed a sigh of relief, served him to eat breakfast, held a flashlight, and got into the car in the backyard half-dark, and rushed to the venue before the rush hour of traffic jam.
The driver turned around and drove back to the hotel. He had to pick up another crew of others and waited until ninety o'clock to go to bed.
Zhang Hongjun did not have such preferential treatment. He was busy hanging banners in a corridor inside the venue, and then went out to prepare to receive media friends.
The media have invited me from the embassy, Garnika, and media that smell it. American media likes technology news very much, especially the smelly technology news, especially the media in New York.
Zhang Hongjun took all his skills and served the media audiences from all sides cautiously.
At the same time, the camera and camera should be arranged in a convenient position as much as possible, and the temporary printed introduction manual should be placed on every chair in the hall.
Finally, Zhang Hongjun hung Yang Rui's poster at the door. Although it was just a simple text poster, it was extremely formal.
The speeches of other scholars, unless they are first-order scholars, may not necessarily have such conditions. Unless the organizer provides them, few scholars will prepare them themselves.
How can American scholars have the money to hire someone to do such trivial tasks?
However, Zhang Hongjun was happy to do it. He only curled his lips gently when passing the podium and thought to himself: Yang Rui, you are lucky, we want to use you to promote it.
He cannot directly promote PCR instruments, but can only indirectly promote Yang Rui.
Garnika doesn't care about adding hidden competitors. On the one hand, he thinks the price he offers is fair, and on the other hand, Zhang Hongjun gave him a certain promise.
Garnika likes to deal with governments like China.
He is a man who is good at communicating with bureaucratic structures.
Those who run biological companies are not like those in the IT industry. IT companies or Internet companies are also high-tech companies, but they do not need to deal with the government too much, especially small companies, which almost ignore the government. It is no problem to be a otakus quietly.
However, those who run biological companies need to pay attention to government trends all the time. Not to mention anything else, just the purchase of various experimental materials, those materials that are tens of thousands of times more powerful than poisonous rats and thousands of times more powerful than TNT are needed by every biological company. If they are not approved first, the experiment cannot be carried out.
Finished products from biological companies are even more troublesome. For example, drugs require FDA approval. The US Food and Drug Administration is notoriously complex and inefficient. It is impossible for a drug to be launched on the market without breaking the FDA's threshold.
In such an environment, Garnika believes that it will be easier to establish a good relationship with the Chinese government.
As for Yang Rui's speech, it is almost impossible to play an immediate role.
This is a technical conference, not a Hollywood press conference. Helping to notify several media is just a slight effort for Garnika. If he doesn't help, the Chinese Embassy will always have a way.
Of course, the cooperation between the two sides has made the media come more.
At about 9 o'clock, the media already occupied one-third of the lecture halls.
Of course, there were not so many people coming, but the long guns and short cannons such as cameras made dozens of reporters occupy nearly a hundred locations.
The staff of the conference organizer also stood by and remained indifferent. Unlike the speeches on the opening day, the speeches on the closing day do not send invitations. In other words, there are no guests who have to come.
The scholars attending the meeting came to listen to those who want to listen to the speech, and did not use them if they don’t want to listen to them. The remaining 200 seats are more than enough under normal circumstances.
Every scholar is willing to give a speech, but not every scholar is willing to listen to someone’s speech.
In fact, by the time the speech was about to begin, there were only a hundred scholars and about half of the media in the hall.
In terms of proportion, there are obviously more media.
Yang Rui was already satisfied.
Not to mention the arrival of so many mass media, more than 100 scholars and the position of the closing ceremony speeches is enough to achieve his goal.
These more than 100 scholars are not scholars from the same school. If you remove the dozens of Chinese delegation, the remaining 100 scholars may even come from dozens of different countries. To some extent, these more than 100 scholars are more influential than the mass media.
At 9:30, Yang Rui walked out of the curtain with a brief introduction from the host.
Xiaobaiya made cheering for him from behind.
Yang Rui showed a handsome smile, turned his head and stood up straight, and started in a plain tone: "I heard that when I give a speech in the United States, I have to tell a joke first. I follow the customs and tell a joke first."
The audience really became focused, and jokes were naturally more interesting than speeches.
A female reporter with the breast emblem of the New York Pioneer sighed even more seriously and whispered: "Today I rely on this joke and this handsome face to support me."
The photographer was angry: "Do you like Asians?"
The female reporter looked back at him, turned around and said, "No, it's just handsome."
The photographer was speechless.
On the stage, Yang Rui talked about the widely circulated biology joke: "Once, a thief came in our laboratory. He slipped in when he was unprepared, and then hid in the corner to wait for everyone to get off work. Unexpectedly, a group of people left and another group of people came to do the experiment. In order not to return empty-handed, he insisted on waiting. There would be no one at night... As a result, after sunset, another group of students stayed up late at night to do the experiment. He continued to persist. In the middle of the night, there were still people doing the experiment..."
When Yang Rui said this, someone laughed.
The scholars’ funny points are on the wrong path. If you walk the right path, you will kick his funny points.
Yang Rui didn't have to laugh and continued, "I've been withstood for a long time, and the thief finally came out. His brother asked him, "You've been leaving for so many days and you've got rich." The thief shook his head, I went to the Biology Research Institute, there was nothing in the broken place. My brother doesn't believe it, and said, "You've been staying for so long, you'll always gain something..."
At this point, the joke was aroused the curiosity of everyone present. Yang Rui deliberately stopped for a moment and saw countless eyes gathering over.
Yang Rui continued to imitate his tone and said, "I heard from this thief that there are some gains. I have learned to run electrophoresis."
The whole audience was silent for two seconds, and then it was hilarious.
Several biologists laughed and kept taking off their glasses and rubbing them with a handkerchief.
For them, this self-deprecating model in which any thief can learn biological experiments is indeed very eye-catching.
The reporters were inexplicably funny when they listened to the biologists laughing, just like people who were not funny in sitcoms, and sometimes they laughed at the laughter in sitcoms.
Yang Rui just smiled at this moment, his tone turned back to normal, and he began his relatively boring speech.
Academic speeches will eventually be boring. If Dickens comes to the stage, he can only make jokes at most.
The female reporter of the New York Pioneer was also bored, just staring at Yang Rui's face and reminded the photographer: "Photo is better, our sales rely on this face."
"I don't think this face looks good." The photographer adjusted his posture very dissatisfied.
"That's why your submissions to National Geographic are always rejected." The female reporter launched an unceremonious attack.
The photographer didn't lift it up in one breath and died.
While the reporters were whispering each other, Yang Rui's speech was also conducted more than half.
The scholars' expressions gradually became serious.
For them, the experimental data in the first part can be said to be a necessary preparation, but it does not make any sense. It just proves that your experiment is based on it, and then infers that your speech is meaningful.
After the meeting, those scholars who read literature will carefully study the experimental data of the first part, and some may even do repeated experiments based on this, but on the scene, everyone was very interested in the first part.
When it came to the new ideas and research projects in the second and third parts, everyone gradually became interested.
Soon, Yang Rui's speech reached the fourth part, which was also the part that accounted for the largest proportion of his speech: the scientific hypothesis part.
Prophecy is Yang Rui's biggest weapon.
At this most critical and important moment, Yang Rui drew out his sharpest long sword.
Yang Rui's voice also changed from dull to enthusiastic: "I heard that just last year, the U.S. Department of Energy and the General Administration of Health launched a large-scale human genome sequencing project. In this regard, I would like to introduce to Dr. Hood, a scientist of the Planning Commission who participated in the discussion, Director of the American Institute of Systems Biology, and Dr. Osen of the University of Washington... I will give you a grand introduction, the new equipment I have prepared for you, PCR instrument!"
The human genome sequencing project is the largest scientific plan for humans after the Apollo project. It invests a huge amount of money, and everyone cannot stand up and listen carefully.
Yang Rui said about the Human Genome Project: "I think the first thing that the Human Genome Project needs is a clear roadmap... The existence of the PCR device will make the roadmap design simpler..."
"The human genome project will end genomic structural biology, begin genomic biology, and then to disease biology and medical biology. The so-called genomic biology..."
“Precision medicine will be the new goal of biomedicine and disease taxonomy…”
While the Human Genome Project is still in its preparation stage, Yang Rui's analysis and inferences are simply shocking!
"Deaf" is a very important word, and this word is not used in the daily life of ordinary people.
But in the face of the human genome project, Yang Rui's words are like this.
Moreover, Yang Rui was not worried that the plan would change due to his speech.
The Human Genome Project is too huge, like a super cruise ship, with its braking distance of perhaps several kilometers long. Once it is started and advanced at full speed, neither the US President nor any person in charge of the Human Genome Project will have the strength to change its momentum.
The roadmap for the Human Genome Project is a must.
Genomic biology is inevitable.
Precision medicine will be the inevitable development direction.
No one can change such facts, and Yang Rui was the first to fully explain these concepts and the first to issue such a prophecy, which was recorded by countless scholars and scholars.
The speech continued, but all scholars and some journalists had changed their mindset.
This will be a dramatic speech, either being praised into the clouds or being stepped into the mud pond, without an intermediate option.
Chapter completed!
