“And then imitate, the Western whisky is very simple, we soon had a breakthrough, in a short time, Japanese whisky’s quality and taste exceeded the European products,”
“Took a large market share, but only the Chinese Maotai wine, we failed to imitate.”
Roger 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 place in Maotai, can produce that taste of Maotai wine, away from that place, even if the imitation is more alike, but still a little less soul .”
Roger asked, “Did you finally find out what the problem was?”
“We found out.” The other party explained, “We then carefully studied the microbial flora of the wine during the brewing process and found that the microorganisms were different from those of the local Maotai wine.
After a pause, the other party added: “We finally came to the conclusion that pure Maotai wine can only be brewed in that part of the world,”
“In that very unique environment of theirs, where the climate, altitude, humidity, and local water resources, all play an extremely subtle, but extremely important role.”
“I see ……” Rogers gritted his teeth and spoke, “It seems that it is really very subtle in here ……”
After saying that, Rogers asked him with an admiring face, “What’s your name? In which company do you work?”
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 Kobayashi Pharmaceutical in microbial pharmaceutical research and development,”
“And now I work at Johnson & Johnson Group! I am very honored to be able to participate 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 JX Pharmaceuticals?”
“Yes!” Junpei immediately nodded:
“Then Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals gave up microbial drugs and fully transformed into Chinese medicines, and I left.”
“I see!” Roger nodded and spoke, “In that case, then you will form a team and leave for China immediately to investigate and research!”
“Let’s see what’s so special about the location of JX Pharmaceutical! By the way, we will also try out the JX Renewing Pill locally to see if it works or not!”
