This was a rare experience for many of the major companies that had monopolized the world's technology.
In the past, it was always others who rushed to their doorstep to seek cooperation with them.
They were the ones who sat on the fishing platform and waited for others to give them benefits.
It was always others who begged them to cooperate.
Sometimes, they might take the initiative to extend an olive branch to others, but there had never been a situation where they would rush to someone else's doorstep after reading the news the day before, only to bump into someone else in the same industry.
Everyone was like a shark that smelled blood. They were prepared to take advantage of the disparity in resources and information to snatch this piece of fat meat from the jaws of Prince's laboratory. However, when they arrived at the scene, they were not sharks at all. Everyone was clearly a group of pugs fighting for food.
The people from Sansheng suggested that everyone leave today and hold a meeting overnight.
This way, the giants could reach a certain degree of consensus in private so that they wouldn't be at a complete disadvantage in the negotiations with Chen Guang.
After all, practically all the major companies in the field of photocatalysis had gathered here. Since everyone had reached a consensus, they could naturally force Chen Guang's side to submit.
They could grab Chen Guang's neck from the flow of industry talents, equipment, and raw materials procurement channels.
This sounded wonderful. If the thing they were fighting for wasn't so hot, they might have reached an agreement.
Unfortunately, no one was a fool.
Everyone knew how the Koreans did things. They would hold a meeting here, and then they would secretly send someone to negotiate with the other party. They were despicable and sinister.
By the time they came back to their senses, the other party would have signed an exclusive agreement with the other party at a lower price.
This wasn't some random cabbage on the street. It was the result of photocatalysis. It was like the Crouching Dragon and Phoenix of the Three Kingdoms period.
Who dared to relax?
Who dared to bet on whether the Koreans were moral or not?
Also, not only did they have to be wary of the Koreans, they had to be wary of everyone.
Most importantly, Chen Guang had heavy technology in his hands that could explode the entire industry. He was the leader. As long as he nodded, he could instantly create a giant hole in the so-called monopoly barrier formed by the major companies.
When the technology level was completely crushed, the so-called industry barrier was a joke.
"F * ck off! Shameless Koreans! "
"Go away! Stupid Koreans! "
In the end, the impromptu negotiation at the entrance of the hotel ended on bad terms.
Everyone was suspicious of each other. Some of them even wanted to send someone out alone to search, but the others in the same trade would desperately stop them.
However, on one matter, they reached a very mysterious consensus. Five of the reputable institutions in the industry would jointly send people to stop Princeton's "local snake", which was also the most authoritative laboratory in the field of photocatalysts.
As soon as Chen Guang's figure appeared at the entrance of the hotel, he was immediately surrounded by people.
Chen Guang peeked into the crowd and was slightly disappointed when he didn't see Prince's men.
He had originally planned to use this late, almost public bidding meeting to put some pressure on Prince, but in the end, no one came, so there was nothing he could do.
"Prince, you're not doing your best. This is your territory after all. Look at the attitude of others, and then look at your own performance. It's too disappointing!"
Do I really have to consider changing to another research institute?
If it wasn't for the fact that Prince was indeed leading in the field of photocatalysis, Chen Guang really wanted to replace him.
The current situation made him a little embarrassed.
Forget it, I'll just try to talk to them first. I originally wanted to put pressure on Prince anyway. They can't be indifferent to the god-level formula.
"Mr. Chen! I'm from the Alamo Laboratory at the University of California … "
"Mr. Chen, let's talk, I'm from the Lincoln Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology …"
"Mr. Chen …"
Chen Guang was surrounded so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through. These people were either experts in the academic world or the heads of various organizations and companies. They weren't as arrogant as they usually were, and they were as passionate as students asking their teacher questions.
In Chen Guang's opinion, it wouldn't be a problem for him to receive more people, but his nose couldn't take it.
This group of men is so unreasonable. You guys are obviously here to talk business. Can't you guys take a good bath first?
Are you guys trying to kill me?
Otherwise, can you guys send some good-looking girls to caress the Old Man?
Although the Old Man was known in the pugilistic world as Liu Xiahui, as long as the girls were beautiful enough, it was not impossible to talk to them!
It was no wonder that Chen Guang in the crowd felt like he had fallen into the devil's den. However, he couldn't blame others for not showering. International people were born with a stronger body odor. Moreover, most of the people around Chen Guang were fat people with big bellies. Of course, the smell was very sour, like pickled cabbage in an old jar.
"Everyone, make way! All of you make way for me! Can't you let me pass?! "
Chen Guang wanted to escape from the crowd, but he couldn't reject the hospitality of these fellows. Although they were plump, their faces were pale, and he was afraid that he might accidentally injure them. In the end, he had no choice but to roar out.
After finally escaping from the crowd, Chen Guang said immediately, "Don't push! Everyone, don't push! I'll arrange the meeting room now! If you have anything to say, we can talk in the meeting room! "
After saying that, Chen Guang didn't care whether others listened or not. He rushed straight to the front desk of the hotel and asked the hotel staff to prepare.
Then, Chen Guang handed over the task of entertaining people to the hotel staff with a two-thousand-dollar tip. He asked everyone to wait in the meeting room while he went upstairs to look for Zhuo Jingsi.
Zhuo Jingsi had been waiting for him to come back. She was still awake. When Chen Guang knocked on the door, she had just finished organizing her documents.
Opening the door, Zhuo Jingsi asked with a smile, "You're back? How's the discussion about the movie going? "
Chen Guang was in a good mood. "It's good. There's progress. What are you busy with? If you want to sleep, you can sleep first. I'll go talk to them. "
Zhuo Jingsi shook her head. "I can't do that. You were the one who threw this to me, but I'm lazy and thin-skinned. I don't know how to refuse others, and I'm afraid of taking responsibility. That's why I pushed it to you. But I'll still attend this meeting."
Chen Guang pinched Zhuo Jingsi's butt. "I say, why else would they wait for me in the middle of the night? Let's go. We can talk about this and rest early."
"Wait a minute, this is the information I just finished organizing. Take a look first."
Chen Guang took the things that Zhuo Jingsi handed over and spent seven or eight minutes quickly browsing through them.
Zhuo Jingsi was very meticulous. In this document, she wrote very clearly about the current situation of the institutions that came to Princeton to participate in the competition in the field of photocatalysis.
From the past results of the major scientific research institutions to their current facilities, equipment, and staffing, everything was there. It also included their next investment plans in the field of photocatalysis.
"That's amazing."
Chen Guang praised.
Zhuo Jingsi smiled embarrassedly. "They took the initiative to provide it to me. I just organized it so that you could look it up. Unfortunately, it seems that Prince is still the strongest. The other institutions have some hardware and software gaps. "
"It's okay. They're all pretenses. Why didn't anyone from China come?"
"Teacher Shu called. Gokyo University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences both wanted to participate, but their conditions were too different. I didn't dare to agree immediately, but I didn't reject them either."
"It's okay. We'll go back and talk to them. Let's go."
Chen Guang took the documents and went out first. It was almost 11: 30 pm.
After a few steps, he remembered something. "Didn't I say we don't want Waseda's people? Why are they here too? "
Zhuo Jingsi shrugged. "Others don't know, but Waseda is second only to Prince. Are we really going to reject them directly? If we don't end up negotiating with Prince, we should be able to contact Waseda within three months … "
Chen Guang waved his hand. "No! No! Definitely not! I'd rather not talk to Waseda than Tongshan! Also, I won't talk to the Koreans. "
At this time, the people from Waseda and Sansheng were waiting excitedly in the conference room. They had no idea that they had sentenced Chen Guang to death in advance.
The people from Waseda were the most miserable. At this moment, they were the most excited.
Whether it was the cooperation conditions or the hard standards of their own laboratory, as long as Chen Guang did not choose Prince, they had an overwhelming advantage over other competitors.
But what if Chen Guang was an unreasonable, nationalistic youth?
