Chapter 87 Patent for Vision Restoration Drug
Brother Lin led Yuan Bao and Bao Guo out of the train station, where a black sedan had been waiting for a long time.
Upon seeing them, the driver immediately got out of the car and warmly opened the door.
After the three got into the car, it sped off like an arrow toward Brother Lin's place.
Bao Guo sat in the car with his eyes wide open, looking around as if they were copper bells. Everything outside the window was incredibly new to him.
When he first arrived in Beijing, he was overwhelmed by the towering skyscrapers, the endless stream of traffic, and the diverse crowds of pedestrians.
He frequently exclaimed "Wow!" and "Look!" with obvious excitement.
Amid Bao Guo's exclamations of surprise, the car quickly arrived at Xiao Lin's residence.
Xiao Lin's home in Beijing is located in an upscale residential area within the Second Ring Road. The environment here is elegant and the security is tight.
As you enter the residential area, you are greeted by shady trees, lush flowers and plants, and a fresh scent in the air.
Arriving at the apartment building where Brother Lin lives, after taking the elevator directly to his floor, Brother Lin opened the door to find a spacious and bright four-bedroom, two-living-room layout.
The entire house adopts a simple European style, with a light color scheme and exquisite soft furnishings. The lines are smooth and the furniture is arranged in a staggered manner, creating a comfortable and grand atmosphere.
Brother Lin gave Yuan Bao and Bao Guo a brief tour of the various rooms, saying, "You two take a look and see which room you like, then choose one yourself."
Yuan Bao and Bao Guo looked around and each chose a room they liked.
After settling you into your accommodations, Brother Lin said with a smile, "You two unpack a bit and rest for a while. Later, I'll take you to try the most famous Peking duck in Beijing."
Upon hearing this, Baoguo's eyes lit up like light bulbs, and he jumped three feet high with excitement, shouting, "Oh yeah, roast duck, roast duck, here I come...!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but wiggle his hips, and his dancing and gesturing were truly a display of his unbridled joy.
Seeing Baoguo's appearance, Brother Lin smiled helplessly, shook his head, and turned to go back to his room.
"Brother, you're too excited! You've only just arrived in Beijing, and you're already acting like you're going crazy! Are you really that excited?" Yuan Bao asked Bao Guo with a smile.
"Of course! I'm definitely the first one in our class to come to Beijing this time, and I'll get to eat Peking duck too. I'll have to brag about it when I get back!" Baoguo said smugly.
"Okay, okay, okay! You can keep twisting, I'm going back to my room." Yuan Bao also looked embarrassed, unable to bear watching his older brother's "shameful" appearance, so he quickly went into his room, closed the door, and shut out Bao Guo's noisy voice.
After resting for more than an hour, Brother Lin led Yuan Bao and Bao Guo out of the house, preparing to head to the renowned roast duck restaurant.
Downstairs at my apartment, the same black sedan was waiting quietly.
After the three got into the car, Brother Lin skillfully told the driver their destination – Beijing Roast Duck Restaurant.
Throughout the journey, Baoguo's eyes remained like searchlights, constantly peering out the window.
The old hutongs along the street, the distinctive architecture, and the shop signs full of Beijing charm all excited him.
He would occasionally pull Yuan Bao and Xiao Lin along, pointing out the window and shouting, "Look, that alley has such a great vibe!" "Wow, this building is so unique!"
Not long after, the car came to a smooth stop in front of the roast duck restaurant.
Baoguo eagerly pushed open the car door and jumped out, his eyes fixed on the eye-catching sign at the store entrance, muttering, "Finally here!"
Stepping inside, you are immediately struck by the antique-style decor.
Wooden tables and chairs, carved doors and windows, and paintings depicting the old Beijing cityscape hanging on the walls—every detail exudes a rich historical and cultural atmosphere.
The waiter greeted them warmly and led them to a window seat.
Brother Lin took the menu and skillfully ordered the restaurant's signature dish—Beijing roast duck—along with several side dishes and snacks.
Bao Guo curiously looked around at the other diners. When he saw the roast duck that had just been served at the next table, its color reddish-brown and its appearance glistening with oil, his mouth watered. He kept urging, "Why isn't it here yet? I can't wait any longer!"
While waiting, Brother Lin patiently explained the history and unique way of eating Peking duck to Yuan Bao and Bao Guo.
"This Peking duck has a history of several hundred years. It is known for its crispy skin and tender meat. When eating it, you should wrap it in a thin pancake with shredded scallions, cucumber, sweet bean sauce, and duck meat. One bite, and the taste is simply wonderful."
Finally, the steaming hot roast duck was brought to the table by the waiter.
A chef pushed a cart to their table, and with practiced skill, he picked up a slicing knife and began slicing the duck.
His movements were as smooth as flowing water, and each piece of duck meat was cut into uniform size and of moderate thickness.
Soon, plates of neatly arranged duck meat were presented to them.
Bao Guo couldn't wait any longer. He hurriedly picked up a thin pancake, grabbed a handful of shredded scallions and cucumbers, and put them on the pancake without caring how much.
Next, he scooped out a large spoonful of sweet bean sauce, spread it haphazardly on the pancake, and finally picked up several slices of duck meat and stuffed them all into the pancake.
He couldn't wait and took a big bite. Instantly, the aroma of duck meat, the spiciness of scallions, the refreshing taste of cucumber, and the rich flavor of sweet bean sauce blended in his mouth. Bao Guo's eyes widened and he mumbled, "It's so delicious! It smells so good!" Because he ate so fast, some sweet bean sauce got on the corners of his mouth, making him look quite comical.
Yuan Bao was much more refined. She imitated Brother Lin, carefully picked up the pancake, put on some shredded scallions and cucumbers, then used chopsticks to pick up a small spoonful of sweet bean sauce and spread it evenly on the pancake. Then she picked up two slices of duck meat and placed them neatly in the center of the pancake. Finally, she gently rolled up the pancake into a delicate little roll.
She took a small bite, savoring the flavor, a satisfied smile spreading across her face.
Looking at Baoguo wolfing down his food, Brother Lin shook his head with a smile and said, "You, eat slowly, don't choke."
Then he put some side dishes on Yuan Bao and Bao Guo's plates and said, "Try this. It tastes even better when eaten with roast duck."
Amidst laughter and cheerful conversation, the three thoroughly enjoyed the delicious roast duck feast.
While eating, Baoguo kept praising, "This Peking duck in Beijing truly lives up to its reputation. I'll definitely come back to eat it again!" After the meal, everyone left the Peking duck restaurant with full bellies and a sense of happiness.
After a good night's sleep, Yuan Bao and Bao Guo woke up to the gentle morning sunlight streaming through the window. Feeling refreshed, they got ready and followed Brother Lin to the factory that produced vision-restoring drugs.
A gentle breeze carried a slight coolness along the way, making one feel refreshed and relaxed.
Bao Guo was well aware of the importance of this visit, and he tried his best to restrain his usual overly lively "husky-like" nature, putting away his usual playfulness and becoming serious and composed.
He followed closely behind Brother Lin and Yuan Bao, his eyes intently taking in everything around him.
Upon entering the production workshop, Bao Guo was struck by the orderly scene before him.
The modern production equipment is neatly arranged, and the workers, dressed in clean work clothes, skillfully operate the instruments. The entire workshop is filled with a rigorous and professional atmosphere.
Bao Guo stared intently at every step of the production process, occasionally frowning slightly as if he were deep in thought.
Yuan Bao was also deeply attracted, and she carefully observed every step of the process, not missing any detail.
After visiting the production workshop, Yuan Bao and Bao Guo followed Brother Lin to the office building.
Brother Lin led them into his office, carefully took out a stack of documents from the filing cabinet, and said to Yuan Bao with a proud smile, "Come on, take a look. This is the patent certificate we applied for. I put a lot of effort into this certificate! But when I think that our vision restoration medicine is unique in the world, I feel that all the hard work was worth it. The sooner we get the patent application approved, the better we can protect our hard work."
Yuan Bao took the document, her hand trembling slightly. Her gaze was immediately drawn to the brightly colored patent certificate cover.
On the cover, the national emblem is solemn and dignified, and the golden lettering shines brightly in the sunlight, as if telling the story of how hard-won and supremely glorious this certificate is.
Yuan Bao slowly opened the certificate. The first thing that caught her eye was the patent name. Those words seemed to have a magical power. Her fingers gently stroked the words on the certificate, turning the pages one by one, not missing any detail. She even looked at the certificate number and date with extra care.
“Yes, our project is of great significance, and patent protection is essential. Without patents, those unscrupulous foreign conglomerates could easily exploit loopholes and claim our achievements as their own,” Yuan Bao said with a serious expression, his words filled with a sense of responsibility for the project.
Seeing how much Yuan Bao valued patents and how logically he analyzed them, Xiao Lin couldn't help but feel curious.
He tilted his head slightly and asked with a smile, "Yuan Bao, you're so young, how do you understand the importance of patents so thoroughly and value them so much?"
This stems, of course, from the experiences of 42-year-old Yuan Bao in the real world, where she has witnessed and heard too many ugly acts by foreign forces.
They will stop at nothing to curb our development.
In the technological field, they have resorted to "strangulation" tactics, attempting to cut off our technological lifeline and hinder our breakthroughs in high technology.
On the economic front, they have implemented harsh blockade policies in an attempt to disrupt our economic order and stagnate our development.
Moreover, they meticulously set up contract traps, using complex terms and vague wording, or confusing low-end equipment with high-end equipment, making it difficult for Chinese companies to guard against them in business cooperation. Once they step into these traps, they may suffer huge losses.
In terms of intellectual property, they shamelessly preemptively register patents, appropriating our intellectual achievements and then reselling them to Chinese people at high prices. This behavior is simply outrageous.
These disgusting actions made Yuan Bao despise their behavior.
Now, she is keenly aware of the strength of her motherland and the power of her nation. Faced with various difficulties posed by foreign forces, she feels only indignation and a firm determination to fight back, so she must take precautions to protect herself in advance.
