Rutgers, desperate for tears, blurted out, “Smith …… we’re all scientists here, and they’re not professional to have scientists doing this kind of metaphysical stuff ……”
Smith said, “There’s no way, do it the hard way, or what?”
At this point, an Asian-faced researcher, who had gathered the courage to speak up, said, “Mr Rogers, I suggest that it would be best if we could make a field trip to Jinling and then bring back a batch of environmental samples to study, such as the air, soil, groundwater, surface water and rainfall and rainwater there.”
Seeing that he had an Asian face, Rogers asked curiously, “You’re Chinese?”
“No, I am Japanese.”
Rutgers asked again, “Do you feel the need to go to such trouble to visit the area?”
The man replied with a serious look on his face, “Before I emigrated to the United States, I did microbial research and development in Japan for many years, at a time when Japan was experiencing an economic take-off and all industries were copying to catch up with the best products from overseas, not just automobiles, optics, steel, medicine and all that, but even the sake making industry!”
The man went on to explain, “At that time. Many Japanese distilleries entrusted us to help them reverse the development of European and American whisky as well as Chinese Maotai wine, and then imitate them. Western whisky was easy enough, and we soon had a breakthrough, and it didn’t take long for Japanese whisky to become blue, surpa*sing European products in quality and taste, and taking a large market share, but only Chinese Maotai wine failed to imitate it. ”
Rutgers asked him, “Why? Is there something special about Maotai wine?”
“It is indeed very special.” The Japanese-American researcher explained, “We used the same method to reverse the development of Maotai wine and found that the taste was always much worse!”
“The same process, the same materials, the same recipe, only in that part of Maotai can you produce that kind of wine, and if you leave that part of the world, even if you imitate it, it’s still a little less soulful. .”
Rutgers was busy asking, “Did you finally find out what the problem was?”
“Yes.” The other party explained, “We then looked carefully at the microflora of the wine during the brewing process and found that the microorganisms were always different from those of the local Maotai wine, even though we had quietly taken the Maotai wine quill out and brought it back to Japan to cultivate it, it still didn’t work.”
After a pause, the other party added, “We finally came to the conclusion that pure Maotai wine can only be made in that part of Maotai, in that very unique environment of theirs, where the climate, altitude, humidity and the local water resources all play an extremely subtle, but extremely important role.”
“I see ……” Rutgers gritted his teeth and spoke, “It seems that there is something very subtle going on here …… ”
After saying that, Rogers asked him with an admiring look on his face, “What’s your name? What company do you work for?”
The other party hurriedly bowed excitedly and spoke, “My name is Nakamura Junpei, before I immigrated to the United States, I worked at the National Research Institute, then I jumped ship to work for Kobayashi Pharmaceutical as a microbial pharmaceutical research and development, and now I work for the Johnson & Johnson Group! I am very honoured to be involved in the development of this miracle drug this time! I will definitely give my all and do my best!”
“Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals ……” Rogers asked in surprise, “The same Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals that was acquired by Jiuxuan Pharmaceuticals?”
“Yes!” Nakamura Junpei immediately nodded, “I left when Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals later gave up on microbial drugs and fully transformed into Chinese medicines.”
“Good!” Logos nodded and spoke, “In that case, then you will form a team and leave for China immediately to conduct research and study! See what’s so special about the location of Jiu Xuan Pharmaceutical! By the way, we’ll also try out the Jiu Xuan Recycle Pill there to see if it will work or not!”
