"Director Mei, Director Tie, come, come and sit down and have a cup of tea. "Yang Rui turned a corner of the large warehouse into an office area and set up a group of old tables, chairs and benches to entertain guests.www.biquge.info

The guests in the laboratory are naturally donors.

To say that with Yang Rui's previous style, he is unwilling to waste time entertaining investors, how troublesome it is to usher in the send-off...... However, it was really easy for the genetic engineering laboratory to raise funds, but it made Yang Rui have an interest in drinking tea easily at this time.

In addition, the more money raised, the more efficient the lab will be. In the same way, if you do experiments, your centrifuge is faster than others, and your PCR is more convenient than others, so don't you have to save time? If you can hire a few more skilled experimenters, the progress of the experiment will be more guaranteed. And all of this depends on a huge amount of money.

The laboratory is not a company with regular income, and the funds raised are all in a burst, and the funds raised can not only consider short-term expenses, but also take into account long-term expenditures.

Otherwise, once the funding chain is broken and the laboratory faces life and death, the most uncomfortable project cutting incident will inevitably appear.

Even in the 21st century, there are still only a handful of laboratories that dare to invest in scientific research in billions. It's not that you received 1 billion yuan this year, you can do a billion-level investment in scientific research, in reality, the more huge the investment in the project, the longer it will take, not to mention the human genome project, that is, the cloning of sheep project, not to mention the ten years of scientific research time, a little obstacle, 20 years of not running.

For such a long time, there is no guarantee that I have received 1 billion yuan this year, and I will first carry out a 100 million yuan project this year, which will last for 10 years -- long-term worldwide inflation will make the demand for funds rise to 140 million yuan in the fifth year, and by the eighth year, the original cost of 100 million dollars will become 170 million yuan, which is equivalent to a disguised reduction in half of the funds.

Yang Rui needs to prepare for the genetic engineering laboratory in advance.

First of all, he knows very little information about genetic engineering, and secondly, he can invest less time and energy, so that in order for the genetic engineering laboratory to survive in 10 or 20 years, he needs to reserve some additional resources for the genetic engineering laboratory.

To be fair, genetic engineering laboratories need to reserve more resources than ion channel laboratories.

Because of Yang Rui's long-term management and interference in the ion channel laboratory, the ability to use resources and transform resources is stronger.

Some people may say that who will be in charge of what happens in 20 years......

Unfortunately, this is the systemic risk of scientific research, and if a laboratory does not have an expected lifespan of 20 years, it has no value at all.

Not to mention, it takes ten or twenty years for a laboratory to be upgraded to be qualified to recruit doctoral students or postdoctoral fellows, and this just shows that this laboratory is at the forefront of related fields, and it is still at the forefront of related fields in the third world.

The training of a doctoral student, as little as 3 years, as much as six or seven years, 20 years, is only to train seven generations of doctoral students, the total number of no more than 20.

In other words, if it is self-produced and sold, this laboratory has only just touched the edge of a first-class laboratory in 20 years.

If Yang Rui creates a laboratory, it can't reach the level of a first-class laboratory, so why waste his time, just use his time and resources to play in the entertainment industry.

Anyway, the social value that second-rate experimenters in second-rate laboratories can produce is not much different from that of small stars.

The owner of the fund is actually a resource.

From the perspective of laboratory managers, those who are willing to donate now should have a tendency to donate in the future.

Especially in large state-owned groups such as China Animal Husbandry and Qingmu, they invest millions of dollars in their laboratories every year, including labor expenses and infrastructure costs, and there are tens of millions a year.

The nature of such a large amount of funds is the same as that of the state-owned enterprises' own kindergartens, primary schools, and middle schools. But the cost is several times higher, and its core is nothing more than the word convenience.

When state-owned enterprises are self-financed and it is not easy to survive, state-owned enterprises will be very weak for this kind of "convenience", or in other words, their ability to bear this kind of willfulness is very weak.

And the "foreign exchange earning cow" is a good opportunity.

This kind of concept is not something you can have, especially if it is limited to the field of genetic engineering, there are not many projects that can make money.

Projects such as cloning Dolly the sheep may sound like an applied one, but in fact it is equivalent to basic research, and it is difficult to find commercial organizations to donate to it - in fact, when the British made the cloned sheep Dolly, they kept it secret until it was successful, and it was not announced to the outside world until it was successful. The British government reacted quickly and immediately reduced the funding of the laboratory.

Yes, it was a reduction rather than an increase, because the politicians' fear of cloning was amplified relative to the fear of ordinary people, and in order to avoid the lab going any further, the reduction was passed almost without any reaction.

From a scientist's point of view, this is simply a meaningless stupid thing, and this situation has actually appeared in scientific research laboratories more than once.

If the project is not doing well enough, the funding will be reduced, the project will not be as good as expected, the project will be reduced, the project will not be as good as the politicians expect, the project will be reduced if it is good enough, and the project will be particularly well done, and the funds will be reduced...... There are also fewer substitutions, fewer changes in the world, and fewer economic crises,......

All in all, it is not easy for laboratories to find a stable source of funding, and it is unreliable to rely on the government or a single donor.

Yang Rui pretended to pour tea, but what he was thinking about was how to pour cyanide and chemicals into the gold mine.

Director Mei and Director Tie are still indifferent to each other, no matter how they look like friends who haven't seen each other for many years.

Fortunately, everyone was a scene, and after half a minute of embarrassment, the newcomer Qu Chang laughed twice and said, "Director Yang, I came today to make a special trip to try your lunch, and I heard that your buffet is better than the Roman restaurant in Wudaokou." ”

"It was made from a chef from a Roman restaurant. Yang Rui smiled and said, "Good vision." ”

The Roman restaurant he was talking about was the buffet of Yang Rui and Shi Gui's joint venture, located above Yang Rui's bowling alley in Wudaokou. Yang Rui needs the help of two or three chefs, so naturally it is not a problem.

Now, the genetic engineering laboratory, which has its own funds, has been completely separated from the ion channel laboratory of Peking University, and it is too late to recruit chefs or anything, so it is better to ask for foreign aid.

Qu Chang cocked his thumb and said, "I guess it will cost a lot of money." ”

"It's quite expensive, and the daily food standard for our researchers is currently tentatively set at 3 yuan, not counting the cost of staple food. Yang Rui didn't prepare to hide it, when he recruited researchers, he used this to attract people, and interested people can always ask if they want to.

Qu Changchang gasped and said, "Eat 3 yuan a day, don't you have to eat 90 yuan a month?"

"There are more than 4 days off in a month. "It's still a six-day workweek, and that's true for the whole country.

"That's going to cost more than seventy. Qu Changchang looked around and said, "With such a small scale now, we have to eat three or four hundred a month, not counting the chef and other expenses." ”

"No, I didn't. ”

"The food was much better than ours. Qu Chang raised his hand as he said and said with a smile: "I don't mean anything else, just sigh." ”

Yang Rui nodded with a smile, glanced to the right, and said, "Director Mei actually had the same problem as you before. ”

"Well, is it?" Qu Chang glanced at Director Mei gently, feeling a little like he had found the allies.

Director Mei was in a bad mood, and his tone was cold: "That's right, the last time I said this to Yang Rui, what Director Yang said to me, I forgot the original words, it probably means, where to go back and forth, you can give money if you like to give money, if you don't like to give, I am not happy to ask for it." Director Yang, that's what you mean, right?"

Qu Changchang's expression changed greatly, and he also looked at Yang Rui.

"That's not what I said. Yang Rui was speechless.

"The last time I asked about the progress of the experiment, I replied that it was almost the same thing. Director Tie added, this time standing on the same front as Director Mei.

Qu Changchang looked at Yang Rui again.

Yang Rui shrugged: "They understand wrong. ”

"What does that mean?" asked the Iron Chief.

"Our lab is glad to have people donate, however, we have no obligation to provide information, and we do not accept any requests and controls from donors. Yang Rui sorted out his language and replied like this.

"It's okay to give money, don't talk nonsense. Director Mei suddenly looked at Chief Qu with a little schadenfreude, and said, "When you give money, you won't know it, right?"

"I know. Qu Changchang's face was a little green, and he said, "However, I said that the laboratory can save a little in some places, which is true." ”

"I can't say that. Director Tie sighed, pointed at himself, and then at Director Mei, and said: "On behalf of Qingmu and Zhongmu, we have invested a total of 1.6 million, you say, are we qualified to say?"

Yang Rui looked at the precursor of Qu Changchang, who was already a precursor to madness, and hurriedly interjected: "We still pay attention to listening to your opinions and suggestions......

"It's just never executed. Director Mei suddenly wanted to laugh.

Director Tie laughed directly.

"You guys. Qu Chang stood up angrily, if it weren't for the fact that Yang Rui and Director Tie were both in good shape, he would have started directly.

"What are you talking about, talking so happily. Two more people walked in from outside the warehouse, stamping their feet as they walked: "This capital is an evil gate, the city is still warm, and when you get to the outside of the city, it's cold." ”

"White place, Chairman Qiu. Yang Rui greeted, these two are also the owners of the money who gave the money two days ago.

The two smiled and greeted each other, rubbed their hands, and said, "Don't pestle, you talk about yours, and we'll follow behind." ”

"When we talk about eating, the buffet in the laboratory is pretty good. Qu Changchang's face changed quickly, and he couldn't see the unhappiness just now at this time.

As soon as Director Bai heard what they said, he immediately remembered the recent legend and asked, "I heard that the buffet in the genetic engineering laboratory is of a high standard?"

"That's right. Qu Chang nodded.

"How much does it cost this month?" asked Director Bai curiously.

Qu Chang said deliberately: "It's just a few hundred yuan." ”

"A few hundred dollars is not a lot. ”

"You can't care less or less. Qu Changchang's face changed again, and he was serious and serious.

Director Bai was stunned by what he said, and said, "I can't take care of it?"

"Director Yang's rules, if you like to give money, you will give it, no matter if you give money or not, you are not qualified to nag. Qu Changchang suddenly felt a sense of revenge, and after saying this, the whole person was in a good mood.
