Chapter 244 Photos from Africa
"Professor Wang is indeed young and promising."
Li Zhenxi extended her hand to Wang Yi with a standard smile on her face.
Although she is over 40 years old, Li Zhenxi has maintained herself in good condition due to a long-term life of luxury. She has a dignified and generous feeling, and also has an aura of having been in a high position for a long time. She is a typical strong woman.
The four stars form their own system, and even a kingdom of their own. Li Zhenxi also has a very high status in this kingdom.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Li would come here in person. This is really quite surprising."
As a scholar, it's normal for Wang Yi to be outspoken, right?
However, Wang Yi felt that there was a high probability that the other party came for Jin Yanxuan.
As the executive president of Umbrella Asia, Kim Yeon-hyun wields enormous power.
You should know that most of Umbrella’s heavy assets are now in Asia.
Either domestic or Hengsan.
It is natural that the Four Stars attach importance to Umbrella.
With the acquisition of Ningya, six-star mobile phones will definitely have to wait for matching batteries.
All of these are closely related to Kim Yeon-hyun's decision!
How much can be purchased and how much can be produced at that time will all depend on her words.
Of course, Wang Yi’s identity is also quite important.
Even though there were some unpleasantness between Four Stars and the World before, there are no so-called enemies in business.
At present, the fields that World Company has entered have little overlap with those of Four Stars. Since there is not much conflict of interest, they can cooperate.
"We came here this time to welcome Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang has really brought honor to Asia and achieved such success. Please come in."
However, Li Zhenxi's words still surprised Wang Yi somewhat.
Now Kim Yeon-hyun has got off the plane, but she still focuses on herself. It seems that things may not be that simple.
However, the relationship between him and Umbrella has always been very good, and because of the friction between the World and Four Stars, the market share of Four Stars in the country has plummeted.
This time he actually put the focus on himself, probably trying to kill two birds with one stone.
He wanted to break through some invisible restrictions in the country, and also wanted to complete the matchmaking with Umbrella on his own.
After all, the fact that Kim Yeon-hyun took her own plane here is enough to illustrate the relationship between the two parties.
Perhaps, as a scholar in their eyes, I can fool them better.
After a brief greeting, the group got into the car one after another. Wang Yi and Jin Yanxuan got into Li Zhenxi's extended car with a bodyguard.
The car brand is very low-key. It is not a Rolls-Royce, but South Korea’s own Hyundai, and it is obviously a customized model.
Before the internal strife, Hyundai Group had a clear advantage over Four Star.
In fact, S-Star once had its own car company, Renault S-Star, but it lost control when its shares were bought out by foreign companies during the last financial crisis.
The other mathematics professors got on another car.
We went directly to the hotel where we were staying.
The conference was held at Seoul National University and lasted for eight days.
It brings together a large number of mathematicians from all over the world.
Many of them came here on invitation, and of course many of them came just for free. Those who came here for free usually have to pay for it themselves, but Wang Yi and his team naturally arranged the whole process.
Along the way, Li Zhenxi was also communicating with Wang Yi and Jin Yanxuan. It must be said that she has a family background in learning. After putting away her domineering attitude, the eldest princess's words were really quite appropriate.
Not only did he control the entire rhythm of the conversation, but he also made sure that neither of them felt left out.
However, Kim Yeon Hyun herself has a rather cold personality, so most of the conversations took place between Wang Yi and Li Zhenxi.
"I apologize to Professor Wang again for our company's reckless actions. This trip to Seoul will definitely let Professor Wang feel what sincerity is."
After the atmosphere became warm and lively, Li Zhenxi sincerely apologized again for the last time's mistake on the beauty software.
"No, I would have forgotten about it if Mr. Li hadn't mentioned it."
Wang Yi smiled and said that he didn't hold a grudge at all. For a moment, the atmosphere in the car was full of joy.
"Miss Jin, we also..."
"No, just take good care of Professor Wang. I like to be alone."
Kim Yeon-hyun didn't give Lee Jin-hee any room to maneuver and directly blocked her attack.
But the four-star princess was not annoyed by this and always had a smile on her face.
The conference was held at Seoul National University, which is located in the Gwanaksan Park Forest, approximately sixteen kilometers from downtown Seoul. Except for the main entrance road, the venue is surrounded by parks and forests on three sides, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Once the car enters the relevant route, everyone can feel a sense of tranquility and nature on the road.
In Seoul, which is considered an international city, it is a quiet place in the bustling city, with a feeling of a remote small town.
The supporting facilities are also quite complete, with everything needed for food, clothing, housing and transportation. The hotel where the participants are staying is also here.
The hotel itself does not look luxurious from the outside, but it is very grand and fits in with the atmosphere of the university.
However, when the vehicle entered the hotel, some figures were seen holding banners protesting at the hotel entrance. Wang Yi took a quick look and was surprised to find that there were quite a few black people.
This really makes people feel a little uncomfortable with the style of painting.
However, there are about 200,000 blacks and mixed-race people in South Korea, so it is normal for them to appear in Seoul, but I didn't expect them to gather together and protest.
Usually, the news reports that South Koreans hold various protests. I glanced at the banners and slogan boards they held, which read:
'Scholars from Africa cannot be discriminated against!'
'We should treat everyone equally!'
'Remove visa restrictions!'
"……"
Li Zhenxi saw that Wang Yi paid attention to this and turned his head to say to him
"It's like this. Ebola and an unknown virus are spreading in North Africa. We have temporarily rejected visas from Africa, which has prevented some students and scholars from arriving. However, this incident has caused quite a stir, and some people have slandered our image in other countries, so it is likely that the restrictions will be lifted, but relevant testing will be done well."
After hearing what Li Zhenxi said, Wang Yi nodded to show his understanding, but he still noticed the "unknown virus" in Li Zhenxi's mouth.
It is normal for Ebola to break out in Africa from time to time, but the virus has such a high mortality rate and is so virulent that it usually does not spread too widely.
But because of the high mortality rate, it is normal to be on guard against travelers coming from there.
It’s just that the Congress of Mathematicians itself is an international conference, and Seoul has finally got the opportunity. Under such circumstances, under pressure from all sides, it is natural to issue visas.
But that 'unknown virus'...
This reminded Wang Yi of some of the situations he encountered during his trip to Somalia. That was the Sackler family's testing site. When he went to destroy the laboratory later, the place was empty.
If there was a leak at that time, it would not be surprising for an 'unknown virus' to appear.
However, the incident happened in Africa, where various diseases are rampant and few people usually care about it. The network facilities are also poor. Even Lin Shiqin's monitoring there has shortcomings, so Wang Yi is really not sure.
But in fact, the threat posed by the "unknown virus " is not as strong as Ebola. It is just a mutation of carbon-based organisms, which is nothing compared to modern weapons.
On the contrary, the invisible and traceless virus itself is difficult to guard against.
"Well, we need to be careful..."
Wang Yi nodded and tapped his headphones...
…
When they were about to leave after sending them to the hotel, Li Zhenxi suddenly lowered her voice and said to Wang Yi with a smile:
"Professor Wang, the conference will not start until tomorrow. Do you have any plans for tonight? Many of the female group members and trainees here have a crush on you, and they want your advice on how to choose..."
Wow, Lee Zhenxi is also a woman, but she speaks so naturally when she says such things!
It's as simple as choosing what products and goods to buy.
The status of girl groups and idols in South Korea is indeed that they are just playthings of the chaebols, and there have been many reports on this.
In fact, a few years ago, a popular female star committed suicide to expose the darkness, but it was actually of no use.
After much difficulty in implicated people from two chaebols, the matter was eventually resolved. Moreover, the conditions of the high-ranking chaebols in South Korea who were imprisoned were completely different from those of ordinary people. The environment and diet were vastly different, and they could even discuss business and meet with partners in prison.
Under this completely solidified strict hierarchy, idols and girl groups are indeed just commodities that Lee Jin-hee picks at random.
It’s not just talk that I envy the chaebols every day.
"Oh, I want to take a break first. Mr. Li, go ahead and do your work."
Wang Yi is not a chaste person, and he is not afraid of many things because of his strong physique. However, since Lin Shiqin has already sent him the news, he will not be distracted by material things.
"Okay, I'll help you contact Professor Wang after he's had a good rest. This is my secretary. You can ask her for anything you want. Any request is fine."
As Li Zhenxi clapped her hands, a standard South Korean-style beauty came to Wang Yi respectfully and bowed her head respectfully.
"Professor, my name is Zhang Naying. Please take care of me in the next few days."
"Well, South Korea has many beautiful women."
This young secretary has a good appearance and figure, and she is both sweet and charming. Although she is wearing a conservative OL uniform, there is a sense of astringency to her.
Wang Yi glanced and nodded, allowing the other party to carry his things into the room.
When Wang Yi and the secretary left, the smile on Li Zhenxi's face gradually faded.
This Professor Wang is not as scholarly as one might imagine.
She had seen both real and fake scholars. Some of them were truly one and the same, so she avoided such things as much as possible.
Some people said it was not allowed, but their eyes were almost popping out.
This secretary was a high-quality one that she had carefully selected.
She has also been observing the other party's reaction, but...
The other party's attitude is more like indifference!
So cold, as if without any human emotion.
It's even more uncomfortable than Kim Yeon-hyun's cold attitude.
However, he had not rejected the olive branch I had extended to him before, so the initial contact was successful.
But you can't treat the other party as an ordinary scholar whose mind is full of academic thoughts.
That's true. If it's really a research-oriented company, it's highly unlikely that they would create a world-class company by themselves...
…
"There are surveillance devices in the house. The boss can just use his finger."
I don’t know why, even though Lin Shiqin was explaining the problem seriously, Wang Yi felt like she was driving.
"I searched for relevant information, and found that a lot of it had been deleted. It felt like the root server had been used to block the situation in Africa on a large scale. I guess the situation there is pretty bad, but I still found a few pictures and have encrypted them and sent them to your phone."
Wang Yi opened it and found a picture of an Ebola patient on his deathbed, which was used to inform Africa about the Ebola epidemic and request donations.
Ebola is an extremely virulent virus that can almost completely 'melt' the inside of the human body, so the dead look quite miserable.
In the later stages of the disease, the patient's blood may spray more than one meter away.
However, although Ebola can also be transmitted through droplets, it is generally contagious only after symptoms appear. The transmission coefficient R0 is 2, and because the mortality rate is too high, it generally cannot be spread on a large scale.
However, the dead patient that Lin Shiqin sent to Wang Yi seemed a bit "weird". The description on the photo clearly said that the patient had just died, but the "stiffness" of the deceased could be seen from the photo.
It's not that melting feeling.
This reminds me of the Sackler family’s experimental subjects encountered in Africa.
My goodness, this is the infected person who was leaked by the 'unknown virus' and was killed by Ebola.
To some extent, the 'unknown virus' that can only be transmitted through blood is not as threatening as Ebola...
