"This thing must be very common, right? I see in your papers that you say that the infection rate in China is high?"

Zhao Liangliang drank several sips of hot tea in a row, as if he was angry, and returned to the sofa, he didn't think that Zheng Jianguo looked at him with his eyes, and finally couldn't hold back the joke in his tone: "Brother Zhao, when did you have the money to subscribe to The Lancet, this thing is 4 dollars and 99 cents a book, and it is calculated as RMB and it is going to 7 yuan 5, this is still the official exchange rate——"

"The official exchange rate—"

Zhao Liangliang drank the hot water in the cup and stared at Zheng Jianguo before he wanted to speak, but he didn't expect this thing to speak first: "It's not good for you to drink water like this, the water temperature is too high and it stimulates the esophageal mucosa a a lot, and the esophageal mucosa has no nerves, so if you pour hot things into it, at most you won't feel the heat in your throat, and if you feel the warmth again, it will be in the stomach, this is the feeling after cooling through the esophagus, don't drink like this in the future——"

"Since you said it solemnly, then I shouldn't go too far, your previous official exchange rate doesn't refer to domestic matters, right?"

Putting the cup down, when Zhao Liangliang said with a smile, a pair of eyes flashed with coldness and fell on Zheng Jianguo's stunned face, and he knew that he was too careful: "Okay, brother apologizes to you, I thought you were talking about domestic affairs." ”

"I want to express that you won't watch The Lancet when you're full, who told you what this said?"

Zheng Jianguo said with a speechless look on his face, he didn't expect his unintentional words to pierce the depths of this brother's heart, and then thought that he was satirizing the other party for living by exchanging foreign exchange for himself, so he didn't wait for the other party to speak, and continued: "I feel that the price of oil will rise for a while, so I put all the money on the gold into it." ”

"It was the newcomer Xu Mi who brought me the message, and he said that your old opponent broke the jar and broke it, saying that you seriously exaggerated the infection rate of Helicobacter in the country, which is deliberately smearing the face of the country, and it is the small handful that puts the interests of the country under personal interests——"

Zhao Liangliang said and glanced at Jiang Lu next to him, who nodded quickly and continued: "Of course no one pays attention to him, it's not that no one cares about him, but if you deal with him at this time, it will be a little more than worth the loss for you, after all, for you, there is a suspicion of bullying." ”

"If I step on him at home, I will definitely overturn him, but forget it abroad, he is welcome to use research data to speak. ”

The first time he heard others mention that Professor Kong to himself, Zheng Jianguo couldn't help but feel a little sullen when he thought about it now, but as Jiang Lu said, now he has to deal with the other party to gain more than he gains, of course, if the other party comes up with research data, it will be another way: "That Nong Shaoshan didn't toss, right?"

"Then he also has to have a research project to take a hand on, besides, we haven't eaten yet, you have to do your best as a landlord. ”

Zhao Liangliang saw that Zheng Jianguo did not show signs of hospitality, and quickly told the fact that he and Jiang Lu were still hungry, and Zheng Jianguo only got a look at the pot, and turned around and said: "There is still some rice left, why don't I give you a fried egg and fried rice, or I invite you to go out and rub it?"

"Just rub it and forget it, I'm going to eat egg fried rice. ”

Zhao Liangliang directly refused, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Jiang Lu next to him and smiled: "The egg fried rice scrambled by the future Nobel Prize winner, this is also our buddy's big face." ”

"Actually, my scrambled egg fried rice is still good, and it's not bad to open a restaurant when I can't mix it anymore. ”

Zheng Jianguo shrugged his shoulders and said that he put all the rice in the pot on the plate, and then saw Zhao Liangliang next to him come to the front and said: "Don't say this in the future, now many members of the school department in China want you to return to China, they have some objections to the idea you said last time, a large strong magnetic laboratory can't be built, but basic research can also be done on a small scale——"

"Then wait for the production technology to be updated before thinking about it. ”

Without thinking about it, he refused again, Zheng Jianguo did not hide his thoughts from Zhao Liangliang: "The current tearing tape is not suitable for large-scale research, the most important thing is that I have other ideas, this can be put first-"

"What did you find?"

Zhao Liangliang was stunned and blurted out a question, Zheng Jianguo used a shovel to break the rice as much as possible and then said: "I feel that there are signs of scientific discoveries now, you see what has appeared in the last ten years, computer miniaturization, DNA and RNA research, the acceleration of space exploration, four-color problem proof, endoscopic surgery, CT, MRI and so on.

Human beings not only have the weapon to explore the world, but also have the weapon to explore ourselves, this is the goal of scientific development, to explore the world and to explore itself, for the former you can think of as soaring to the universe to colonize Mars, and for your own exploration, do you want to live to be a hundred years old?"

"This - I would like to live to be 100 years old than to fly through the universe and colonize Mars. ”

Zhao Liangliang found that most of the things he said were the first time he had heard of them, of course, at this time, he couldn't feel what changes Zheng Jianguo said would bring to the world, but he could tell which of the two items given by Zheng Jianguo was more important to himself: "When I live to be 100 years old, I can participate in the 108th birthday of the Republic." ”

"Well, which do you want me to study better in physics or medicine?"

After the rice was broken, it was put aside, and a rare iron pot was put on the gas stove, Zheng Jianguo turned on the fire and asked Zhao Liangliang, who said without thinking: "Medicine, brother still expects that when the time comes, which part is not good, let the brother give you the palm." ”

"Yes, I think that's the same way, I think this choice to ask anyone other than physics, and they will get this answer. ”

Zheng Jianguo cut the green onion and put it in the pot and took out the egg, since the last time he and Ye Minde finalized the repeated test of chain reaction technology on the phone, he began to adjust the direction of his original plan, after all, he is also a rich man now, and there is no sign of the future development of biotechnology, that is to say, this is still a blank fertile soil that has not been developed.

Zheng Jianguo is rich, at least he is much richer than those researchers, and he also knows where the future direction is, so the rest is to complete these future layouts in the study stage, of course, the most important thing at present is to quickly pass the 2nd stage of the license exam.

Sweeping away the egg fried rice with bacon and eggs, Zhao Liangliang drank two more cups of coffee before raising his buttocks: "This time I came here to tell you that the embassy has a drinking party during the Spring Festival, knowing that you are preparing for the exam, and see if you can spare your time when the time comes, remember to leave me a word if you go, don't send it, it's windy and snowy outside, let's take a taxi to the airport." ”

"Well, I won't send you away. ”

Zheng Jianguo sent the two out of the dormitory and went back to the house, picked up the bag behind the door and opened it to see, and found that they were all domestic magazines and newspapers, and some places were cut off with scissors.

After all, for the former, there is a suspicion of public and private use, and if you can do it with less trouble, you will block the mouths of others, and soon a news came into Zheng Jianguo's eyes: "The Capital International Airport is officially opened——"

The picture of coming by plane last year flashed in his mind, Zheng Jianguo remembered Zhao Liangliang's self-esteem that can be called a cautious eye, and he inadvertently said the official exchange rate, he can substitute himself into the US dollars exchanged in China, and he feels that this brother's heart is still very sensitive.

Of course, Zhao Liangliang can ask this question directly in person, Zheng Jianguo feels that the relationship between the two seems to be closer, and this kind of thing can be asked directly, so if there is any topic to talk about in the future, there is no need to worry too much.

After flipping through a few more newspapers and magazines, Zheng Jianguo also saw his name, and what surprised him the most was that he saw "Young China" on the front page of People's Daily, which couldn't help but make him overjoyed: "Roll over the flag, wait for me to pull this bow——"

Compared with the almost vernacular "Bloodstained Style", the emotional confession of "Young China" is much more retro, the former was published in "Liberation Daily" as early as half a month ago, and then followed up and reprinted by "People's Daily" and "Chaoyang Daily", but I didn't expect this article to be posted directly on "People's Daily" half a month late.

"Jingle bell—"

The piercing ringtone drew Zheng Jianguo's attention away, and he remembered that he hadn't come back to see if there was a message on the answering machine, so he took the newspaper to the phone and answered: "Hello." ”

"Hey, is it Mr. Zheng Jianguo?"

A slightly nasal American English came, Zheng Jianguo first reacted that he didn't know this thing, and quickly said: "Hello, I'm Zheng Jianguo, who are you?"

"Hello, Mr. Zheng Jianguo, I'm Valentin Levin from MIT Press—"

The speed of speech in the microphone was a little slow, but just when the question of MIT and the publishing house popped up in Zheng Jianguo's mind, the voice continued: "I'm sorry to disturb you, the magazine I am responsible for has received several papers on Helicobacter pylori, and some editors think we need you to help take a look, I wonder if you are willing to become a reviewer of our magazine?"

"Helicobacter ~ Helicobacter, this word is very standard. ”

Zheng Jianguo was already a reviewer for The Lancet and JAMA at this time, and if it weren't for the fact that Comrade Livin said that he belonged to MIT Press, he would have thought that the New England Journal of Medicine had come to the door.

Because it is still in the United States as one of the top four medical journals, that is, this "NEJM", but obviously this is not what Zheng Jianguo thinks: "What is your magazine called?"

"Oh, sorry, but our magazine is called CeLL. ”

For some reason, Valentin Levin's voice suddenly became a little apprehensive, and Zheng Jianguo, who was stunned, continued to speak: "Mr. Zheng Jianguo, our magazine is not very famous, but we are committed to-"

"You mean C~E~L~L's Cell?"

I didn't read the newspaper in my hand, Zheng Jianguo pinched the microphone in his hand and tried to stabilize his voice to interrupt the other party, and Valentin Levin in the microphone couldn't help but have a curious voice: "Yes, it's Cell, have you heard of our magazine?"

"Well, I've heard it~ I've heard people talk about your Cell!"

Zheng Jianguo swallowed his saliva, what he said was naturally not heard in this life, but in the depths of distant memory, at that time, "Cell" was no longer a small magazine in Levin's mouth, but when it was listed as the world's top three authoritative journals along with "Nature" and "Science", of course, it was the first time in his life to hear: "Hello, that, Mr. Levin, I accept your invitation, I am very happy to be a reviewer of CeLL!"

"Ah, thank you, thank you, Mr. Zheng, my name is Valentin Levin, the person in charge of Cell, and the founder of Cell-"

Valentin Levin obviously heard that Zheng Jianguo had forgotten his name, so he added his full name and then added his own identity, but he didn't expect Zheng Jianguo to be stunned: "Valentine, you created "Cell"? Oh, I'm so honored to be able to meet the boss of "Cell"-"

"No, no, Mr. Zheng, I'm not the owner of Cell, Cell is owned by MIT Press, I, I'm just the person in charge and the founder, I'll have people send the paper to you, and you're welcome to be our reviewer-"

Valentin Levin's raised voice was filled with irrepressible pleasure, but Zheng Jianguo, who hung up the phone after chatting a few more words, also had bright eyes and an excited face, he knew that the future development trend was not so much about computers, but about molecular biology born under the development and application of electronic computers.

However, at this time when there has been no great technological development of electronic computers, Zheng Jianguo has adjusted his main direction in the future, that is, biological science involving the exploration of the human body itself, and after this year's understanding of biological laboratories, he knows that this is a money-burning project.

The Furchgott lab, which has not yet discovered vasodilators, has been burning money for 25 years to find this invisible but real thing, and in these 25 years, a group of more than a dozen people has been digging this treasure trove like a fool.

Not to mention how much money has been spent on test materials over the years, the salary of this group of people alone has reached tens of millions of pounds, and this is the only reason for Zheng Jiaguo to throw money into the oil contract, because the path he chose for himself is a real golden road - paved with money.

Not surprisingly, Zheng Jianguo will receive a large amount of funds to support his engineering research by the end of the year, which will ensure that he can start with HIV, which has not yet appeared, and use PCR technology as an entry point to smoothly transition to the field of biological sciences.

However, this is not enough for Zheng Jianguo to build his own bioscience empire, just like Helicobacter and graphene before, as the director of the emergency department of a township hospital in his previous life, he only knew what it was and didn't know why.

To put it bluntly, I know that this technology (discovery) will be useful in the future, but now I don't know if they have appeared, or even who is studying these things, which is also the most fundamental flaw of Zheng Jianguo's planned bioscience empire.

Of course, Zheng Jianguo, who has decades of memory, also knows how to solve this problem, that is, to retrieve these relevant information and materials, and the emergence of outlets is to prepare for this, because this kind of thing can only be done in China.

But I didn't expect the founder of "Cell" to come to the door, which is an unexpected joy, where can I get in touch with the cutting-edge development of the biological field faster than in the journal report?

In the editorial office of Cell, of course!
