Standing at the door of the ion channel laboratory, Matsushima Heng was still a little excited. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

He straightened his collar before nodding to a few people at the door with a smile and leading into the laboratory.

Professor Cai and other leaders of Peking University stood under the eaves at this time, making a welcoming expression, but Yang Rui was placed in the outer circle, which was half of the background.

Matsushima Heng found Yang Rui at a glance, his photos, Matsushima Heng has seen it many times, and every time he was surprised by the other party's youth and handsomeness.

Matsushima Heng didn't want to come to the Peking University Ion Channel Laboratory for no reason, just like his $20 million, and he didn't get it for no reason.

As a professor at Tokyo University, Tsuneshi Matsushima is not stupid, and major companies, including Mitsui and other foundations, are also not stupid.

$20 million is also a lot in the 86 years when the yen has appreciated, and in fact, even if Japanese companies and Japanese people are now full of ambition to buy the whole world, when it comes to paying money, tens of millions of dollars still have to be weighed twice.

In the end, the reason why Matsushima Heng went to China with $20 million in his pocket was nothing more than the king flag of the G protein-coupled receptor that was hunted, which was too tempting.

For Tsutsune Matsushima, no matter what the means, as long as he can be named in the research of G protein-coupled receptors at the Nobel Prize-level level, there are infinite possibilities, and it is worth his special trip.

For large conglomerates or large companies such as Mitsui, the fact that an additional grant to the Nobel Prize is worth the price of the ticket in itself, and the most attractive part is the impact of G protein-coupled receptors on medical research.

The association between G protein-coupled receptors and the Nobel Prize did not arise out of thin air, but because it is extremely closely related to human and medical research, and it can be said that the progress of basic research in this area, with every step forward, dozens of new drugs can emerge.

It is also because of this that the strangulation war in the field of G protein-coupled receptors is so tragic, and behind the countless top laboratories are a large number of foundations and funding from large pharmaceutical manufacturers.

The international scientific research pattern after World War II is like this: the scientific projects that can make the most money can get the most funding, and the basic scientific research projects that can promote money-making scientific research can get the most attention.

Of course, it is inevitable that a large amount of money will pour in. The mission of the many foundations created by those "philanthropists" is not necessarily to fulfill philanthropy, but more to crowdfund and invest in the projects they care about. For example, the philanthropic funds in which the bosses and high-ranking officials of big pharmaceutical companies participate in it, although they do not seek to make a profit, they will definitely look at projects such as G protein-coupled receptors.

Mitsui and Tsuneshi Matsushima are the same, the funds they pay, and the funds they apply for from the state, are also used in their own direction.

Matsushima Heng looked at Yang Rui as if he was looking at a beautiful trophy.

He waited for the greetings of a group of Chinese leaders to end, and immediately stood up and greeted: "Mr. Yang Rui, I am Tsutoshi Matsushima of the University of Tokyo, and I have read many of your articles...... Can you take a tour of the ion channel lab?"

"Of course, please come in. Yang Rui had already packed up the laboratory, and after the first phase of research was completed, he was faced with the state of publishing papers and entertaining reporters and scholars.

Matsushima walked into the ion channel laboratory with great interest and compared it with the ion channel laboratory of his imagination.

The semi-general laboratory, with instruments swinging from beginning to end, has the prototype of a large laboratory, and the experimenters are in their own places, operating a small number of equipment......

Matsushima Heng approached one of the experimenters and carefully observed his operation, before raising his head slightly and smiling: "Very skilled." ”

"Thank you. Yang Rui followed in his footsteps and didn't really let him be free in the laboratory.

"You've been practicing for a long time. ”

"That's true. ”

"What about the current progress?" asked Matsushima Tsuneko, politely.

"The current progress ......" Yang Rui said this, smiled, but stopped, and said, "I'm sorry, this is not easy to disclose in the laboratory." ”

Matsushima Heng's face froze for a moment, and he said with a smile: "Please don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to spy on your information, I'm just looking for cooperation, and I always want to know as much as possible about the other party's situation." ”

"Of course. Yang Rui said noncommittally, of course he would not cooperate with Matsushima Henglai, but there was no need to categorically refuse in front of so many people.

Matsushima Heng looked at Yang Rui again, only to feel that the color of the trophy in his eyes seemed to be much darker.

Matsushima Heng hesitated for a moment, and decided to come up with something more tempting, and said: "Mr. Yang Rui may not know me, but I have been following you and the work of the Ion Channel Laboratory of Peking University for a long time, and after knowing that you are involved in the G protein-coupled receptor project, I have been considering cooperating with you, and I have received the support of some consortiums because of this." ”

"Oh. ”

"The Mitsui Foundation has the greatest support for my proposal, Mr. Yang Rui, if you are interested, we can learn more about each other, and if we can cooperate, the Mitsui Foundation can provide great help. Matsushima Heng looked at Yang Rui's eyes and said, "For now, Mitsui Company can cover all the expenses of the Peking University Ion Channel Laboratory with only one fund. ”

As a laboratory director, it's always tempting to have money or something.

Yang Rui was no longer willing to cooperate, and he couldn't stand the burning eyes of the people around him, raised his head slightly, and said, "Thank you Mr. Songdao for your rush and help." ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome. Matsushima Heng smiled so kindly, like an old man playing chess in the park, and said, "Can you talk about the situation of the ion channel now? Let's talk about the funding situation first, is the fund of the ion channel laboratory still abundant?"

Yang Rui hesitated for a moment and did not speak immediately.

Director Liang Rui saw it in his eyes, was anxious, and couldn't help but say: "Mr. Songdao, you may not know that there is a story about the funding preparation of the Ion Channel Laboratory of Peking University. ”

"Oh?" Matsushima Tsune, of course, knew that he was just pretending to be curious at this time.

"When Director Yang Rui initially proposed to make G protein-coupled receptors, the preparation of funds was very problematic, our domestic scientific research funding is very limited, and the support for scientific research projects cannot be compared with developed countries, but we also know that the project proposed by Comrade Yang Rui is very important...... "Liang Rui said after a long time, and then said: "In the end, Director Yang Rui proposed a plan, from his existing patents, in exchange for funds, to do this project ......"

Yang Rui stood aside, listened quietly, and did not refute Liang Rui's Spring and Autumn brushwork, anyway, it was for foreigners, true and false.

Matsushima Heng looked like he had listened, and nodded again and again: "Mr. Yang Rui's approach is really admirable. ”

"Mr. Yang Rui is a real researcher, and cooperating with him is the best choice. Director Liang Rui wanted to keep Songdao Heng's investment, and for him, the funds for entering the Peking University Ion Channel Laboratory were also his political achievements.

Matsushima Heng agreed, pondered for a moment, and said: "I can't make too many promises, but I can say that it is no problem to give the Peking University Ion Channel Laboratory a sum of funds equivalent to the start-up capital, of course, I still have to inspect the entire laboratory before I can officially sign the agreement." ”

"Ah...... Thank you, thank you Mr. Matsushima. Director Liang Rui was already excited.

Others also involuntarily rushed up and asked about the total amount and other information, from their point of view, the 20 million brought by Matsushima Heng, spent the rest, even if it was leftovers, it could make everyone eat very deliciously.

Matsushima Heng listened laboriously through the translation, and after a while, he pressed his hands and said with a smile: "I know that the first batch of funding for the ion channel laboratory is 6 million US dollars, and there is no problem with this, and our first phase of funding can also be given so much." Not only that, but we at Tokyo University and Songdo Lab are also willing to join in and help Mr. Yang Rui complete the project as soon as possible. ”

After a pause, Matsushima Heng said: "Mr. Yang Rui, with the Mitsui Foundation, Tokyo University, and the full support of our Songdo Laboratory, I believe that in a maximum of one year, we will be able to make considerable achievements and gain a leading position in the world-class scientific research competition." ”

"What do you mean by the equivalent results?" Yang Rui still asked.

Matsushima Heng's face turned grim, and he said seriously: "What I can guarantee here is that at least I can have an in-depth understanding of the conformation of G protein-coupled receptors, and if I do a quantification, I hope to make a rough conformational map, of which about 50% of the restrictions are confirmed!"
