Chapter 106
Yifeng thought that as long as he could attract some cooperation, he could improve his situation.
It was indeed smooth at the beginning.
The official opening ceremony of the exchange meeting was held in the hotel's largest conference hall. In front of and above the huge stage, there were arranged seats with names on them. Every invited person had his or her own seat.
After finding a seat, I realized that there were quite a few seats around, at least a few thousand.
Because of Ou Mingjue and Wei Chi's advance arrangements, Yifeng and his team sat quite close to the center.
This at least made the members of his team feel a little more comfortable.
It’s just that Yu Lanlan and the others were clearly the first to come in, but Yifeng and the others found that they did not sit down, but went to the side of the stage, talking to someone unknown.
Looking at their happy faces, Yifeng felt annoyed for no reason.
Gradually, more and more people began to sit around. Yifeng watched them constantly looking for others to communicate with. Many people saw that they had good seats and thought they were famous people. However, after looking at them one by one, they found that they did not know them at all, so they simply ignored them and talked and laughed with the people around them.
How could Yifeng not notice this kind of differential treatment?
Although his expression remained unchanged, his eyes became more suppressed. If others ignored him, he would not actively try to please them.
The other members of the team were even more dissatisfied. If Yifeng had been successful in the original novel, this behavior of his would be nothing, but he was just a small anchor now and had even been to jail some time ago. He didn't want to take the initiative to build relationships, so did he expect others to take the initiative to make friends with him?
Although the team members have all returned from studying abroad, they are much more practical than Yifeng. They know that China is a society where relationships are important, and knowing more people means having more opportunities.
Regardless of Yifeng's aloof attitude, they also spontaneously started chatting with people around them.
Yifeng is obviously the leader, but he seems out of place.
He also noticed this, and the way he looked at his teammates changed.
Fortunately, the opening ceremony was about to begin. After the host came on stage and gave a few instructions, the people around immediately quieted down and returned to their seats.
But what made Yifeng and his team change color slightly was that Yu Lanlan and the others were located right in front of them, in the center of the second row.
The first row held the organizers and renowned veterans from both home and abroad. Starting from the second row, the mainstays of the various parties sat.
But Yifeng never thought that such a position in the center of the second row would be assigned to Yu Lanlan!
While he was breaking down the defense in the back, the opening ceremony of the exchange meeting officially began.
The process of the official opening ceremony is generally like this: first, the start is announced, then the organizer is invited to the stage to speak, and then domestic and foreign experts are invited to speak. The process is very lengthy and is filmed throughout, and occasionally the audience is also filmed.
This is all normal, except that in the middle of the show, the host gave Yifeng another critical hit.
"Okay, thank you for the guidance of our expert An Qianyun. Next, we would like to invite a Chinese medicine psychologist who has recently become very popular throughout China. She is also an expert representing our Chinese Traditional Medicine Alliance. She will give a representative speech. Welcome... Ms. Yu Lanlan!"
As soon as the host started speaking, Yu Lanlan stood up, walked past the seat next to her and reached the side of the stage.
After the host said she was stepping down, the audience burst into thunderous applause when they heard her name.
Yu Lanlan walked onto the stage, brushed past the host, smiled and nodded, and then stood behind the podium.
Facing so many medical leaders from home and abroad, she showed no fear at all, as if she was standing on her home turf.
Many people in front of her had manuscripts, but she didn't take anything. She faced the audience and started talking.
"Hello everyone, I'm Yu Lanlan. I'm very honored to be here speaking as a representative. I represent not only myself, but also the Traditional Chinese Medicine Alliance behind me..."
Yu Lanlan briefly outlined the history and development process of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Alliance on the stage, and focused on introducing the traditional Chinese medicine projects she has recently participated in, including the research on the medical book fragments she had previously donated to the Administration, which attracted the attention of the audience.
Only Yifeng, looking at the radiant Yu Lanlan on the stage, bit his gums until they almost bled.
How could Yu Lanlan be standing in this position?! Even if he couldn't stand there, it shouldn't be Yu Lanlan who stood there!
He didn't know that in the original novel, he was indeed in this position, due to a combination of factors by the organizers at the time. In the original novel, Yi Feng, due to the inherent world's luck, suppressed all those who opposed him. The Traditional Chinese Medicine Alliance also participated at the time, but its presence was quite weak. Although the organizers represented the official, they also focused on the benefits inherent in this cooperation and chose him as the representative.
But the situation is completely different now. Yu Lanlan has single-handedly raised the reputation of traditional Chinese medicine both at home and abroad. She represents China's native medicine. Even though there are people in China's Western medicine field who are as famous as her, the organizers still give priority to her.
Yifeng was unaware of the true situation and was jealous and hated Yu Lanlan to the core.
He didn't know that something even more devastating would happen next.
As mentioned before, in addition to experts and scholars from all parties, the participants in this exchange meeting will also include many representatives from Chinese and Western medicine manufacturers and large corporate groups. They will first listen to the academic reports to be delivered by these experts and scholars, and then select or compete for possible cooperation.
What Yifeng wanted to do was to act as a matchmaker.
He and his team have a clear advantage: their experience studying abroad. They have a better understanding of the different customs and practices in China and abroad, making communication easier.
Yifeng has always been very ambitious, so he is targeting large foreign medical groups and the Chinese government.
As long as these biggest collaborations are involved, it will be enough to crush all others.
Among the representatives of large medical groups from abroad who came this time, two are most prominent, namely Vimes Group and Onda Group.
Yifeng’s first target is them.
He didn't notice that the representatives of these two groups were sitting not far from him.
Before Yu Lanlan came on stage, they kept a calm expression.
But when Yu Lanlan came to the podium, their expressions became strange.
They looked at their companions to make sure they had not recognized the wrong person, and compared it several times with the introduction of Yu Lanlan on the big screen. They immediately determined that the person on the stage was the person the group had instructed them to win over before they came here.
So they started discussing it among themselves.
Unfortunately, Yu Lanlan’s speech was not long, and she quickly thanked the audience and left the stage.
Afterwards, the host announced the official start of the exchange meeting.
What followed was the report time for various experts and scholars. According to the order of advance registration, they took the stage to introduce their own or their team's research, papers, conjectures and other medical achievements.
The team led by Yu Lanlan also took the research of a secret Chinese medicine recipe as an example. This recipe was inspired by the alliance members based on the medical book fragments and the incomplete secret recipe that Yu Lanlan had taken out. It is a recipe for stopping bleeding.
Although the specific effects were not mentioned, some of the data provided were already much more effective than the drugs on the market.
Sure enough, as soon as this report came out, the eyes of many people present began to light up.
Even the organizers became interested after learning the source of the recipe.
The alliance member sitting next to Yu Lanlan whispered in her ear, "Lanlan, you don't know, many of our alliance's collaborations have been stuck before. This time, we're finally going to make a comeback!"
"The Administration said they've hooked us up, but the president knows the organizer's boss won't show up until he sees the rabbit. I don't believe he can sit still this time!"
Yu Lanlan smiled slightly and looked forward. The organizer, who was originally sitting upright, had already started discussing with the people next to him.
Almost everyone in the audience was paying attention, and there was a constant stream of people asking questions.
This report became the longest one on the field.
However, Yifeng's face looked very ugly because the next member of his team to give a report was the one.
He really wanted to kill Yu Lanlan in his heart. Nothing good happened every time they bumped into her!
As expected, after the people from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Alliance left the stage, his team members came on stage, opened the PPT, and announced this research. However, the people in the audience were still immersed in the previous prescription and almost no one listened to his report.
Such a dull moment is actually not particularly embarrassing. After all, the problem is not with them, but the fact that the Chinese Medicine Alliance's big move this time was too powerful.
But Yifeng didn't think so. He tried his best to be patient, but his face still looked bad.
The whole team was made very nervous by his attitude.
After the members on the stage finished their presentation, not a single question came from the audience.
The host also noticed this situation and quickly tried to smooth things over before letting the other party leave the stage.
The member who returned to the team was also unusually silent, and the group of people just sat there with no interest.
I finally waited until lunch time at noon.
Yifeng finally cheered himself up and planned to carry out his own plan to win over others.
The lunch arranged by the organizer was not in the form of a banquet. Although there was no clear seating arrangement and it was a buffet, because there were so many people participating, the tables arranged were large and everyone could sit freely.
At this time, it is time for those who want to win over or negotiate cooperation to take action. They can choose to sit with or near the other party based on the target's trajectory.
Yifeng finally managed to get his members to find out the whereabouts of the representatives of Vimes and Onda Group. They were actually right next to each other, but had not yet taken plates to serve the food.
He immediately took action and brought his men forward to get close to him.
"Mr. James, Mr. William, how are you doing?"
The representatives of Vimes and Onda Group did not know him, but his good manners made them smile. They expressed admiration for the exchange meeting and said that they and others were well taken care of.
Seeing that he had successfully interrupted, Yifeng naturally talked about some topics in the morning's reports.
Representatives from the two groups also had pleasant exchanges with them.
However, when Yifeng tentatively asked the other party if they had any targets and whether he could introduce them to someone, he found that the assistants of the two representatives whispered to them.
Their eyes lit up immediately, and they looked in a certain direction while answering, "We do have a target, and she's coming now."
Yifeng inexplicably had a bad feeling.
Then, following the gazes of these representatives, he saw Yu Lanlan walking over accompanied by the big boss of the organizer.
