Chapter 609 Franklin (seeking a monthly ticket)
It is very common for those who do the pharmaceutical industry to obtain benefits by bribery.
Chinese people know that doctors prescribe medicines have kickbacks, and prescribe American medicines also have kickbacks. GlaxoSmithKline's bribery case in China has disclosed a series of cases, including bribery to government officials, pharmaceutical industry associations and foundations, hospitals and doctors. In addition to GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer Pharmaceutical and other companies have also been criticized and prosecuted accordingly.
American pharmaceutical companies will not just be quiet and handsome men in the United States. They have never stopped all kinds of accusations, but the managers of pharmaceutical companies still do their own thing, asking doctors to play golf, arranging management's children to study in better schools, donating high medical equipment to hospitals, etc. are all common methods used by pharmaceutical companies.
The larger the enterprise, the more hidden the bribery method is. In contrast, small enterprises like Garnika are less particular.
The United States' anti-Overseas Bribery Act was promulgated after the Watergate incident and its enforcement is not strong. As for the moment, it is still a political law. Garnika is not afraid of it in the United States, let alone Chinese officials.
However, the leader Comrade Zhang Hongjun was afraid of death. To be precise, he was afraid and happy.
A thick roll of US bills had a rubber band in the middle, and the feeling of holding it in your hand was very solid, which made Zhang Hongjun unable to give up.
He estimated that there were at least thousands of dollars here.
After visiting the United States a few times, Zhang Hongjun knew that one or two thousand dollars was not money for American companies at all, but for Zhang Hongjun, who had Chinese wages and only had three or five dollars a day, this was a lot of money.
"What are you doing..." Zhang Hongjun has watched many TV series. He really wants to imitate the protagonist and throw money on Garnika's face righteously. But he dare not, and he is even more reluctant.
Garnika has rich experience. When she saw Zhang Hongjun's expression and listened to his weak resistance, she knew there was a way. She smiled and said, "I don't mean anything, this is thanks."
"Mr. Garnika..."
"Listen to me." Garnika President of Garnika Biotechnology Co., Ltd. said domineeringly: "I know that your opinions in China are not unified, but it doesn't matter. Just like this, I thank you no matter whether the final thing is successful or not."
Garnika's big hands held Zhang Hongjun's small hands, helped him hold the money tightly, and smiled and said, "You put it away first, how should we talk about it, let's talk about it."
Zhang Hongjun lowered his head stiffly, his mind was so chaotic that he didn't know what he was thinking.
Garnika smiled and said, "Our goal is actually the same, that is, actively promote this matter. You can use this money yourself or others. If it is not enough, you can come to me again."
Zhang Hongjun's head gradually turned around: What's the point of collecting money? Now in China, there are tens of thousands of people, who doesn't want to make extra money? Not to mention officials, a temporary worker in an industrial and commercial office has to hold two extra leeks from the vegetable dealer to be satisfied. When he is abroad, why should he be more morally qualified than the domestic official?
Besides, isn’t it natural to collect money for helping people? I don’t charge money, and people who do business always charge money. Could it be that I asked me to pay for helping Garnika Company?
Zhang Hongjun found a reason and put the money in his arms with peace of mind.
Seeing that he had collected the money, Garnika felt relieved and talked about the romantic and romance with a smile.
After a few minutes of gossip, Garnika changed the subject again and said, "How about we sign an intention contract first?"
Zhang Hongjun immediately felt embarrassed: "I am not qualified to sign this..."
"Why are you not qualified? You are the head of the Chinese delegation." Garnika knew the difference between the team leader and the head, but he intended to say so.
Zhang Hongjun licked his lips, thinking about how to refuse tactfully.
"Just write a letter of intent. I'm not looking for your delegation, I'm afraid I'll be taken first." Garnika said and handed over another roll of money.
"No, no..." Zhang Hongjun didn't dare to stop, waved his hands repeatedly, and said, "I'll think about it, I'll go back first."
Zhang Hongjun hurriedly left Garnika, returned to the main hall, and looked forward in a daze.
Yang Rui was full of enthusiasm and chatted with scholars and reporters.
The American journalist wrote quickly and pressed the shutter wildly, which was eye-catching.
The scholars nodded frequently, with a sincere attitude, and obviously recognized Yang Rui very much.
Even if Zhang Hongjun doesn't understand academic knowledge, he knows that Yang Rui is having good luck.
"His PCR technology can be sold for 500,000 or 600,000 US dollars. After returning to China, he might be rewarded with thousands of yuan." The more Zhang Hongjun thought about it, the more unfair he became. He suddenly felt a little regretful and did not collect the second volume of money.
"I'll go to the toilet." Zhang Hongjun said to the person next to him, and then ran out in the other party's surprised gaze. He was too guilty.
After finding a place where no one was around, Zhang Hongjun took out the US dollar bills in a trembling manner and unbuttoned the rubber band on it in panic.
"Franklin!" Zhang Hongjun pulled out the first one and saw a hundred dollar bill.
Zhang Hongjun suddenly became nervous: "Ganika, I really can't afford to invest!"
At that time, Zhang Hongjun thought that the common US dollar bill was $20, and if it was $100, it would be $4,000 or 5,000.
Four or five thousand dollars, this is a big amount, and it is definitely not the price of the back door.
Zhang Hongjun fell silent. If he had collected the second volume of money just now, it would have been 10,000 US dollars.
Even if Yang Rui's PCR technology is sold for 500,000 or 600,000 yuan, the country will not be able to reward him so much, and it is impossible to sell 50,000 yuan or 6,000 yuan.
Zhang Hongjun let out a long sigh, lit a cigarette, and began to think.
Half an hour later, Zhang Hongjun walked out of the bathroom calmly and found Xiaozhuang who was sent by the embassy to help, and asked: "How are you contacting the country? The American company here is very anxious. Can you talk? How can you talk? Let the country give you a strategy."
Xiaozhuang smiled bitterly: "I can't explain it clearly in China, and they don't know who to ask."
"Just ask the unit where the technology is located, why can't I ask? Did Peking University ask?" Zhang Hongjun complained: The efficiency of domestic bureaucrats is too poor.
Xiaozhuang said: "I asked Peking University, and Peking University said that this matter was not their own."
"Yang Rui is not from Peking University? Do they don't want to care, or do they can't?"
"I'm from Peking University, but they can't explain the situation clearly."
"If you don't know, ask."
"Doesn't it take time to ask?" Xiaozhuang smiled, pointed to his watch, and said, "There are times difference between us. People in China probably have rested these days."
"I can't figure out the big thing, I don't want to have money! I deserve to be poor for the rest of my life." Zhang Hongjun cursed a few words first, and then said: "Hurry up and urge me. I don't know how hard we are abroad in China. If you have time, make two more calls."
"Okay." Xiaozhuang agreed.
Zhang Hongjun knew that Xiaozhuang didn't take it seriously. Xiaozhuang belonged to the embassy and was not in the same unit as him. When the Chinese delegation returned, Zhang Hongjun also wanted to go back, but Xiaozhuang stayed in the United States. Apart from his older experience, Zhang Hongjun really couldn't ask others for what he was doing.
The more this happens, the more unhappy Zhang Hongjun becomes. He returns to the lecture hall, still with a tense face.
"Why, didn't pull it out?" The professor sitting next to him looked sympathetic and whispered: "Eat some bananas."
"What?" Zhang Hongjun didn't react for a moment.
"Banana cures constipation." The professor next to him patted his chest and said, "Biology."
Zhang Hongjun was amused and laughed: "I don't have constipation."
"I know, I know, constipation is not a big deal. Many people are constipated, for example, I am always constipated..."
In the next 20 minutes, Zhang Hongjun struggled while explaining the old constipation.
In the same 20 minutes, Yang Rui booked two exclusive interviews and left a great impression on the reporters and scholars.
When it was about to end, some scholars asked: "Is there anything left in your PCR device? We want to try one."
"I can ask some to send it to China..." Yang Rui was happy to spread the PCR device.
The scholar who asked the question also said very well: "Please leave one for me and send it to me with the bill. You're welcome, Uncle Sam pays the bill."
Everyone laughed, and several others expressed their interest in PCR devices.
Yang Rui said: "Everyone write your name and address, and I can have someone send the instrument directly to you."
All the scholars who come here are participating. There are not many local people in New York, and mailing is more convenient than carrying it yourself.
After Yang Rui said this, scholars who thought it was reliable began to take business cards or write notes.
Garnika was jealous and kept signaling the leader Zhang Hongjun with his eyes. These people were his potential customers.
