Chapter 1897: Boring Symposium

The next morning, after breakfast.

Pi Yangyang, Delis and Tie Niu went to the hotel where the symposium was held.

Bai Dai needs to rest to recover from her injury, so she can't go.

The three of them entered the venue smoothly and sat down in the audience seats.

Looking around, there were already quite a few people sitting around the large round conference table in the middle of the venue.

These people seem to have extraordinary identities, and the only thing missing is the label of "successful person" on their foreheads.

Not long after they sat down, a short, middle-aged man with a proud Mediterranean oriental face walked in with a man and a woman.

Many people present stood up and went forward to greet them, appearing very enthusiastic.

It can be seen that this Mediterranean has an extraordinary identity.

"Mr. Pi, this is Mr. Jingbian, the CEO of Grey Group. He is actually attending the meeting in person today."

Delis was obviously a little surprised and shocked, and introduced it to Pi Yangyang.

Pi Yangyang finally understood why almost everyone came to greet him. It turned out that the CEO of Grey Group had arrived.

It seems that the Grey Group really attaches great importance to today's symposium.

However, he also felt a little strange. He didn't expect that the CEO of Gray Group was actually a Japanese.

Surrounded by the crowd, Jing Bian came to the conference table and sat in the first seat to the left of the main seat.

This is enough to demonstrate his identity and status.

Pi Yangyang just glanced at it calmly, without being too surprised.

This phenomenon is also common in the country.

Just as he sat down by the well, another group of people walked in.

The leader was a man in his fifties, followed by four people.

One of them was actually someone Pi Yangyang knew. He was William, who had once found the Yan Group.

"Those people should be from the Taber Group, right?"

Pi Yangyang looked at William and his group and asked.

Strangely, Delis seemed a little distracted. Only after hearing Pi Yangyang's question did she suddenly wake up and nod, saying, "Yes, it's from the Taber Group. The person walking in front is Taber Heyman, the founder and chairman of Taber Group."

Pi Yangyang noticed something was wrong with her and couldn't help asking, "Delis, what's wrong with you? Did you see anyone familiar?"

Delis smiled slightly, shook her head and said, "These characters often appear on TV and in newspapers. As a native of Fog City, I know almost all of them. They can't be considered acquaintances, right?"

Pi Yangyang said, "Your memory is really good. You can actually remember so many people."

Delis smiled and said nothing more.

At this moment, William looked over here, his eyes swept over Pi Yangyang and Delis, and he immediately showed a look of surprise, and walked over quickly.

"Mr. Pi, you really came to the foggy city!"

William came to Pi Yangyang and said in surprise.

Delis was stunned for a moment and translated it.

Pi Yangyang nodded, "Mr. William, we meet again."

William stretched out his hand and shook hands with Pi Yangyang, then his eyes fell on Delis and he said respectfully, "Miss Delis, you are here too."

Delis said calmly, "Mr. Pi and I are friends. I'm here with him today. Mr. William, you should go and keep Mr. Taber company."

William's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt. He looked at Pi Yangyang, then at Delis, and finally said with a few words, "Yes, Mr. Pi, I'll excuse me first. After the meeting, I'd like to invite Mr. Pi to have lunch with me. Is that convenient for you, Mr. Pi?"

Before Pi Yangyang could answer, Delis rushed in and said, "Sorry, we have to go to Miss Bai Dai's house at noon, so we have to do it another day."

William was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly, "Well, since Mr. Pi has come to Fog City, why not stay for a few more days to get to know Fog City's business environment and the actual situation of our Taber Group.

"Well, if Mr. Pi doesn't have anything to do tomorrow, I'd like to make an appointment."

Pi Yangyang said: "No problem, Mr. William, do you want to discuss cooperation with me?"

William said respectfully: "Yes, I have made a comprehensive understanding of the Yan Group and related companies in China, and also investigated Mr. Pi's personal deeds.

"Yesterday, when I returned to the Foggy City, I reported all my research to Mr. Taber, the chairman of our group. Mr. Taber is very interested in collaborating with Yan's and hopes that I can facilitate an eventual collaboration between our two companies. Mr. Pi, you will determine the time and place."

Pi Yangyang thought for a moment and said, "Then let's hold it at 9:00 tomorrow morning at the Taber Group headquarters office building."

William said happily, "Okay, no problem. The chairman and I will be waiting for Mr. Pi to come at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

After saying this, he saluted like a gentleman before turning and leaving.

Watching William leave, Delis breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Pi, why did you choose to go to the Tabor Group for talks?"

she asked with some confusion.

Pi Yangyang said, "Since we're discussing cooperation, of course I have to go to Taber Group. I can't just talk about cooperation without even knowing where their company is, right?"

Delis nodded, "That's right."

More and more people came to the venue.

Delis introduced that those who could sit at the round table were all top pharmaceutical companies in Country E.

The Taber Group is located near the middle, which shows that its status is not low.

Following a round of applause, the host of this meeting, the president of the E Country Medical Association, came to the main seat and the meeting officially began.

Delis was responsible for the translation, but the content was a bit boring for Pi Yangyang.

It is nothing more than official language about how to develop the pharmaceutical industry in Country E, establish a healthy and orderly market order, and form a healthy competitive relationship.

After the president’s speech, the next speech was given by the corporate representatives.

The first person to speak was naturally the CEO of Grey Group, Jingbian Xin.

As Pi Yangyang expected, this CEO from Country J was just like Levin and Stotchi whom he had met before, with an arrogant look on his face and a condescending tone in his voice.

Pi Yangyang almost fell asleep while listening to it.

After the three representatives finished speaking, it was time for free discussion.

The venue was finally no longer so depressing and seemed lively.

Delis introduced that in addition to those who could sit at the round table, many small and medium-sized pharmaceutical companies also came to the symposium.

And there are many foreign-funded enterprises among them.

What surprised Pi Yangyang was that the Sanhe Group from Country J also sent representatives to participate.

When it came to the free discussion time, representatives from small and medium-sized companies left their seats and distributed business cards throughout the venue.

Many people also gave Pi Yangyang their business cards and asked him which country and company he was from.

This almost caused him to be socially dead.

He never carries a business card, so he can only answer one by one.

However, when these people heard that it was a company from China, and it was the Yan Group that they had never heard of, their expressions and attitudes immediately changed.

Among them were company representatives from South Korea and Japan, who also looked arrogant.

Pi Yangyang was too lazy to pay attention to them, and there were not many people who came to look for him later.

Because they knew he was from China, many people simply ignored him.

Delis explained, "They're actually using this symposium to connect with their peers and seek opportunities for collaboration. Some small and medium-sized pharmaceutical companies are hoping to meet super-sized companies like Grey Group at this symposium and secure investment. Or they might want to sell their companies and make a quick buck..."

Pi Yangyang understands such things very well.

Many companies spend manpower and financial resources to develop a satisfactory product.

But in the end, due to insufficient funds, unclear market prospects, and fear of taking deep risks, they resorted to selling product results to make a profit.

Some large companies, taking advantage of these people's eagerness to cash out, often acquire their product patents at unimaginably low prices, and then, through their transformation, packaging, and promotion, quickly occupy the market and reap huge profits.

Such things are particularly common in some domestic high-tech companies.

Delis was a little angry when she saw that no one came to see Pi Yangyang.

"These people are so ignorant. They have no idea of ​​Mr. Pi's strength and actually ignore him..."

Pi Yangyang smiled. "I'm not angry, why are you? Besides, I really don't think their products are worth buying."

He told the truth.

He has no interest in high-tech chemical synthetic drugs and will not research, develop, or produce them. As for traditional Chinese medicines, he is confident that the research and development capabilities of these pharmaceutical companies cannot surpass his.

As long as he is optimistic about the medicine, he will definitely develop it.

This symposium had no practical significance for Pi Yangyang. Meeting William at the venue was the only gain.

At noon, Pi Yangyang and Delis did not attend their banquet and drove directly back to Bai Dai's residence.
