Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

If you do scientific research to achieve high-end level, you have to talk about politics because the distribution of social resources is politics, and

Therefore, both American and Chinese scientists are busy going crazy all year long.

If someone makes a daily record of a scientist, they will find that scientists are not only busy in scientific research. In fact, the more top scientists are, the more time they spend outside of scientific research.

For example, if Dalbecco wants to ask for money from the U.S. Congress, he has to mobilize congressmen or senators who are eligible for funding, and personally explain to them the importance of the Human Genome Project.

In fact, how many members of Congress or the Senate understand the Human Genome Project?

Anyone who majors in biology and throws it to a member of Congress is enough to explain the Human Genome Project to them. But if Dalbecco wants funds, he must personally go and do science for members of Congress.

Not only that, but the parliamentarians can also propose corresponding terms of exchange.

For example, an Alabama congressman, in order to get his stupid nephew to study at Alabama State University, he can ask Dulbecco to be named in the laboratory of Alabama State University, spending three to five days a year. .

This kind of exchange can be done once or twice, and after ten times eight times, one can imagine where the time of the top scholars has flew.

The same situation can also occur in China. There are academician laboratory buildings all over China, Changjiang scholars co-built laboratories and other things, each one represents the time consumption of three or five days a year.

But in order to get local funds, or no matter what channel of funds, these time and reputation must be sold.

The more famous scholars can sell their time and reputation at a higher price, so as to use these funds to fight for greater reputation and time. This cycle is not essentially different from sports stars or entertainment stars.

Yang Rui also has such a demand.

He needs funds to do in-depth research in genomics. He needs funds to maintain the high-level operation of the ion channel laboratory. He needs funds to distribute to his assistants. If he doesn't do this, he will lose his project and lose completion. The laboratory of the project, or the scientific research Wang who completed the project is lost.

The assistants in the laboratory spend 110 hours a week working for Yang Rui. While enjoying the fruits of their labor, Yang Rui is obliged to provide them with an upward channel.

And Yang Rui's request to Tobias is to allow him to support his needs, so that he can concentrate his time on the research of the second-generation PCR.

However, by doing so, neither the Department of Energy nor any other agency will be able to benefit from investment.

Although scientific research investment is often unrewarded, Yang Rui's request is still relatively rare.

Tobias was using his brain desperately.

The scale of the human genome project is not uncommon, but extremely rare.

In this context, scholars who may be on their own are very special, and everyone may have different requirements.

Compared with Yang Rui, the requirements of some European scholars may be more bizarre, more difficult to achieve, and more costly.

"Mr. Yang Rui, if it were not for direct investment in PCR, I could only approve a sum of 200,000 U.S. dollars." Tobias thought for a long time and gave such a figure.

As usual, the translation was turned over.

Yang Rui shook his head slightly and said, "You just said that there is a limit of 5 million U.S. dollars, and it suddenly fell to 200,000 U.S. dollars."

"The US$5 million is an investment in PCR." Tobias' fleshy face curled up like a mimosa, and said: "This US$200,000 turned out to be a public relations fund from the Department of Energy. I can take it all out, you It doesn't matter where it is used."

"I do want some funds that can be used anywhere, but 200,000 is too little."

"I may also be able to help you find some corporate investments, which do not require returns. The total amount will not be too much. Maybe... 100,000 US dollars, 300,000 US dollars in total. How about alleviating your needs first?" Tobias slightly increased the number.

And what he meant implicitly in his words was actually for Yang Rui to make some achievements.

After all, if you are investing in the second-generation PCR, no matter what documents are signed, there will be payment terms similar to milestones.

Yang Rui's big curve requirement naturally sever this clause.

In view of this, it is impossible for Tobias or his superiors to give a large one-time payment. Otherwise, if Yang Rui took the money and didn't do PCR, or did PCR and didn't cooperate with him, what could they do?

Therefore, this kind of money can only be manually restricted.

Just like many charitable organizations or individuals donating to universities, many universities refuse to accept donations for setting goals and research directions. The former can only make manual restrictions in order to see their money work.

Yang Rui thought for a while, and said, "Although 300,000 is less, but it can only be done like this. Can I get the money before the Spring Festival?"

"I'll call in a while. Happy cooperation." Tobias paused, and then said: "If you can promote PCR research after the Spring Festival, I might be able to help you secure more unlimited funds. ."

This is something that Yang Rui is confident to do. Moreover, regardless of whether Tobias or Dulbecco is present, Yang Rui wants to update the PCR technology.

Before and after the Spring Festival that Tobias said, it may be a huge problem for ordinary scholars. It may not be good for years, but for Yang Rui, it is nothing more than a few verification experiments. It's not much different from the hors d'oeuvres.

Yang Rui smiled and said, "Don't be one hundred and two hundred thousand dollars anymore."

"No, if you can advance the progress of the second-generation PCR research, any institution will be willing to invest money for you." Under the influence of Yang Rui, Tobias also felt inexplicably shabby for one hundred and two hundred thousand US dollars. .

Of course, as far as PCR is concerned, one hundred and two hundred thousand is really shabby.

This is not the period when PCR was just interviewed. Now there are more people who can see the prospect of PCR than the laboratories using it, and the latter is already a very large number.

Tobias said goodbye and left, and the township cadres nearby immediately surrounded Yang Rui and asked loudly.

Because the old man was beside him and his face was full of curiosity, Yang Rui gave an explanation.

When everyone heard Yang Rui said that the sum of 5 million U.S. dollars suddenly became 300,000 U.S. dollars, they couldn't help shaking their heads.

The head of the township was filled with righteous indignation, and said with empathy: "I said that business people are stingy, 300,000 is enough for what, don't you think?"

"That is to say, it was very good when it was bragging, and it returned 5 million, and it paid back US dollars. In the end, when I asked for money, I broke the leather, and I was embarrassed to say 300,000 US dollars."

"This American is just like the old landlord before. When people see people, they say that our family only eats fine grains, **** is pulled out, and the ground is full of corn kernels." The words made several people laugh.

"Eating corn means eating corn. What do you say is 5 million. In the end, you can only use 300,000..." The township repeated the number again.

After a few seconds, the township cadres present here suddenly became a little stupid.

"Huh~www.NovelMTL.com~ What I just said was 300,000?" The mayor repeated for the third time.

"Dollar." The cadre next to him added.

"The Americans give 300,000 US dollars?" The mayor looked at Yang Rui suspiciously and unconfidently, not knowing whether his ears were wrong or his mouth was wrong.

Yang Rui could only show a friendly smile, greeted everyone, and returned to the bedroom.

The cadres who have worked hard in Xizhaizi Township all their lives sighed for a while.

"Old Secretary, Secretary Yang, we really have to build this development zone." The town chief said with emotion: "Look at what young people are doing now, and then look at what we do. It's too much difference."

"Yes, Secretary Yang, we will definitely support you and build the development zone."

"If you build it, you must build it as well."

Everyone finally found the opportunity to be faithful, one by one raised their arms and danced in the air, wishing to dig out a piece of air to build a house.
