Chapter 133 Eggs Always Have Seams

Cheng Jialu's efficiency was astonishing. The next morning, Yan Weiran got the other party's name and basic information as soon as he woke up.

Nanmen Guangyuan, male, was born in 1952.The first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination in China were assigned to work as engineers in chemical plants.After retiring, he joined his son who stayed in the United States, and worked as a technical supervisor in the chemical company founded by his son. Now the factory has been acquired, and his son went to work in other places. He is unemployed in Los Angeles.

There is also a photo that is not very clear in the attachment, which is obviously taken from the group photo of the conference. It shows a thin old man with a serious expression, and he looks quite temperamental.

Yan Weiran passed the information to Ding Xueyan, and she immediately replied affirmatively: "It's him, Nanmen Guangyuan!"

Relying on the name combined with ginkgolide, she finally found the paper exchanged at the meeting in the vast pile of materials.

"His method is to use ethyl acetate to extract. Ethyl acetate is a raw material suitable for the cosmetics industry, and it is very safe if trace residues are handled properly. In his paper, he introduced his son's factory as a supplier of raw materials for many schools to purchase laboratories. I just went to check his son’s company, and the ginkgolides used in Columbia University were indeed provided by that chemical factory.”

"So, we only need to use the ginkgolide produced by his son's factory to achieve the desired effect?"

"Very likely, you can try it."

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

After finding the ginkgolide from the acquired company in the imported raw materials, the miracle Yan Weiran was expecting still didn't happen.

Before finding imported raw materials, Ding Xueyan also found some similar ginkgolides produced by the ethyl acetate extraction process on the market, but they did not achieve the effect that Yan Weiran produced in Columbia's laboratory.

"I think the batch of products produced by Nanmen Guangyuan at that time should have patent content, so the extracted things will be particularly pure and achieve the effect we need. But why are they produced by the same company now? The product, but in the end it failed to achieve the effect we need?"

With doubts, Ding Xueyan went to test the newly bought ginkgolide.

Wei Zexi, who came over to care about the progress, helped her turn on the testing machine, but his face was taken for granted, as if he had foreseen everything: "I think it may be because the factory we bought now is different from the previous batch. Now they are probably using the simpler and more common acetic acid method instead of the ethyl acetate extraction method studied by Nanmen Guangyuan."

Ding Xueyan dubiously took out the composition and analyzed it. Sure enough, the residue contained a very small amount of acetic acid.

Ding Xueyan asked in surprise: "Young Master Wei, have you also studied biochemistry?"

"No, I don't know anything about it. But a lot of things are reflected in the company's annual report." Wei Zexi spread his hands and said, "After hearing about this company from you, I got the information through some channels. In Nanmenzi After the factory was acquired, the financial report did not contain any content about the patented technology as a shareholder or conversion, so I analyzed that this acquisition did not include technology transfer—that is, this unique ethyl acetate extraction method is Nanmen Guangyuan still retains the patent. If we want his kind of product, we can only go to him.”

Ding Xueyan thought for a while, and agreed with him: "Okay, after all, we can't find those ginkgolides extracted with ethyl acetate on the market now, and things are different if they are different. Except for his formula and extraction process, there is nothing else. There are ways to think about it.”

Nanmen Guangyuan is in Los Angeles.

Zhang Yuman's matter hadn't been resolved yet, Yan Weiran was at a loss for doppelgängers, so he thought of Aunt Xu who was also in Los Angeles.

She tried to contact Aunt Xu, asking if she could ask her daughter and son-in-law to help her find an old man in his early sixties in the Chinese circle, and help her get in touch.

"I'm sure it's okay. There are quite a lot of Chinese in Los Angeles, but as long as you have a name and surname, you can always find a place if you ask a few more people." Aunt Xu agreed, and ran to get a piece of paper to record, "Nong Send me Yi's name and basic information, and I'll copy it down for my daughter and son-in-law to see...By the way, Xiaoyan, do you have a photo of him?"

"Yes, but I'm not sure." Yan Weiran first sent her the screenshot of the group photo.

Aunt Xu on the other side of the phone paused for a moment, Yan Weiran was still editing Nanmen Guangyuan's information to be passed on to her, but Aunt Xu had already sent a message, saying, "Xiaoyan, does this person look like , quite similar to an old man who lives in the back street of my house! The old man’s surname is Nanmen?”

When Yan Weiran heard her words, she was surprised and delighted at once, but she didn't expect it to be such a coincidence: "Yes! It's Mr. Nanmen! Aunt Xu, do you know him?"

"Can you not recognize it, but you still came to my house today to ask my daughter to dig up the wisteria planted, saying that his dog vomited and had diarrhea, and I suspect that the dog went to Allah's yard and ate the wisteria seeds." Aunt Xu said An introverted and cowardly person, when talking about the old man, he is also full of anger, "Oh, I said that the old man is reasonable, and I am in charge of the dogs in the cell, and I want you to dig wisteria flowers! My daughter's wisteria has been planted for many years. Oh, she's really pretty, she was messed up by his dog..."

Yan Weiran could only persuade her with nice words: "Don't worry, Auntie, Mr. Nanmen must know that although wisteria seeds are poisonous, it won't be too serious if a dog gnaws on them a little bit. Close the gate of the garden Well, don't let the dog in again."

"The main reason is that this old face is unreasonable. Is it true?" Aunt Xu sighed, but she still didn't forget the business, and said, "Forget it, I will go to help you when my grandson goes to bed later." Ask, are you ready?"

"Okay, thank you, auntie. But since it must be him, auntie, please give me the address, and I'll see if someone from the United States can contact him directly."

After finishing the call with Aunt Xu, Yan Weiran immediately contacted Wei Zexi and said, "Guess what, Nanmen Guangyuan is actually Aunt Xu's neighbor."

Wei Zexi clicked his tongue in amazement: "Wei Ran, you are simply destined to be invincible by riding the wind and waves!"

"Yeah, the world is so small, it's really amazing." The setbacks of the past few days were swept away, and Yan Weiran cheered up, and asked, "Are you going to the United States recently? Or it's convenient for you to arrange someone to look for it." Is Mr. Nanmen talking about patent matters?"

"No one else, but I will go back to the United States in about two days, and then I will fly to Los Angeles to find him."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Yan Weiran relaxed, leaned on the sofa and chatted with him, "Why are you going to America again? What about your father?"

The uneasiness in his heart was confirmed by Yan Weiran's words, and Wei Zexi was a little startled: "How...how did you know?"

"When I was at your house last time, didn't you find someone over there because of Zhang Yuman's affairs? I vaguely heard you mentioning dad or something, so I guess you still have other things to ask for over there." busy."

"Yeah, there are some things..." Wei Zexi hesitated for a moment, then added, "I'll be back as soon as I'm done."

She said lightly, "Well, I'll wait for your good news."

After Wei Zexi arrived in the United States, he sent her two messages.

The source of Zhang Yuman's news turned out to be a staff member of Columbia University.When Columbia University ripped up the brand name of the Chinese student dormitory, he was punished for sheltering and condoning the discriminatory behavior of students, but he did not change his attitude towards Chinese students.

He and Zhang Yuman met in a nightclub. After knowing that he was from Columbia University, Zhang Yuman went up to him and said that he also knew a Columbia University Ph. D. The kind who set up an independent laboratory on campus was Chinese.When that person heard that it was Cheng Jialu, he chatted with her drunkenly, saying how much Cheng Jialu spent when he set up a laboratory at Columbia University. He hated these people who never had to worry about experimental funds. Such a success!

After downing two more glasses of tequila, he said that Cheng Jialu had recommended a Chinese freshman to come in this year, and that Columbia University would be overwhelmed by Chinese!New York is going to be overwhelmed by the Chinese!The whole world will be submerged by the Chinese!There must be something wrong with this, otherwise how could a little girl from the Chinese Welfare Institute be specially recommended by a doctor from Columbia University!

Zhang Yuman has always sneered at Yan Weiran's origin in the orphanage, and when he heard that there was such a little girl again, he was sure that it might have something to do with Yan Weiran, like a wolf whose eyes turned green after seeing the food.

She immediately returned to China, not even caring about the accident of Fang Aili, who had been courting her for so long, and went back to China to find out about Chen Can.After inquiring about it at school, I found out that this Chen Can is indeed a top student, and his adoptive parents are both engaged in scientific research, and his grades have been among the best since he was a child, so there is nothing wrong with him.

However, an egg always has seams. If there are no seams, you can always find countless holes if you look at it with a magnifying glass of [-] times.

In the end, Zhang Yuman found the answer on the Internet - that is, because of the national conditions, the results of Chinese students' usual exams are unlikely to be the results of the application, so it is common to modify the results when applying for foreign universities.

Zhang Yuman found a gangster student to climb in through the window of the file room, and took pictures of Chen Can's final exam transcripts.

Then she triumphantly took the denunciation letter and came to Yan Weiran, hoping to use it to threaten her in exchange for her mother's formula.
