If there is one person in the world who is the most greedy, it must be scientists.

If you want to say how much money does ordinary people need to make money for enjoyment? Learning from Bill Gates to buy a small island in the Maldives, taking a private jet to and from his mansion with whale sharks, and occasionally buying a destroyer converted into a $300 million yacht like the Saudi prince is about the limit, and it can even be said to be extremely capricious.

The willfulness of a woman can also be added to the luxury of expensive jewelry and Hermes and the like.

However, for scientists, is a small island considered a cost? There is no circle of islands all over the world, it is just because scientists are poor and cannot come up with funds, and you do not see countries that study permafrost, tropical rainforests, climate change, and paleontology have set up scientific research stations in the Amazon jungle in the Antarctic and Arctic, and investors, whether they are individuals, institutions, or countries, have only two choices, or they do not invest, or they have to spend Bill Gates N times the amount of money to invest, and it is a perennial expense.

Taking biologists as an example, the most important environmental protection model for human beings is to establish a variety of animal sperm and egg banks, improve the DNA bank, and carry out various sequencing activities, so as to ensure that no matter how harsh the earth's environment is, it will not completely lose the genes that an animal has evolved over millions of years. As for wildlife sanctuaries and so on, it is more about protecting the culture of animals and human culture, rather than protecting the animals themselves - different wild animals will behave differently in different areas, which shows the ability of animals to adapt to the environment.

However, the Human Genome Project cost $3 billion to complete, and although most of the costs do not need to be duplicated on wild animals, the sequencing of wild animals will also add more costs, so how much does it cost to sequence millions of animals, insects, microorganisms and plants around the world?

Someone will say, can't the money be applied for from the state?

The country's money is also limited, and it is not really printed with money.

For example, a school like Tsinghua University has a funding of 4 billion yuan a year, and Harvard has just over 10 billion dollars a year, all of which are for the Department of Biology, and can sequence several products.

Not to mention, scientists also have preferences.

If you take the state's money, you have to think about the problem from the perspective of the public, and rice, wheat or important animals and plants such as pigs, chickens, and yeast will be at the top of the sequencing list, and even if microorganisms such as yeast and rice are cheap, the cost of mammals such as pigs and chickens can be high.

If you take money from institutions, you have to listen to investors, such as Comrade Bill Gates, who has a preference for whale sharks, and people can ask for whale shark testing.

What about scientists' preferences?

If Yang Rui wants to sequence cattle, he can also apply for a little public spending, if he wants to sequence alpacas, it will not be so easy, and if his hobby is a little more out-of-the-way, then he doesn't want to get public funds at all.

Instead, the rich capitalists protected the whale sharks, which they may not like so much.

From this point of view, Yang Ruicun's tea is only enough to complete a little hobby.

As for the luxury of a whale shark house? Whether it is the cost of construction or maintenance, a smart home with a whale shark is far less than that of an oceanographic research institute. And in modern oceanographic research institutes, a whale shark is nothing.

Ruby was once used to make watches, and later it was used by scientists in lasers, and the bigger the better.

Big diamonds are not very attractive to scientists, but the annual consumption of diamonds for industry is no less than the demand for women.

Hermès silk scarves are often woven with special butterfly silk, but if a biologist wants to play with butterflies, selling Hermès is not enough to make a fuss.

It's just that there is still no money to make trouble.

Who should hold the power to distribute the resources of society? politicians, civil servants, capitalists, economists or scientists? This is a philosophical proposition.

But Yang Rui is sure that he is qualified to hold a certain distribution right.

In time, will Yang Rui, a biologist, be qualified to build a research station, seed bank, and even gene bank in Antarctica that is not influenced by stupid bureaucrats?

In the day of the hustle and bustle of GMO, can scientists who cannot afford to get social funds be able to do what they want to do at will?

When biofuels are in vogue, when the act of cutting down tropical rainforests to grow corn needs to be stopped by deafening voices, do people who have the right voice have enough publicity capital?

Or, when biological experiments fantasize about space, when biologists fantasize about the deep sea, when biologists need supercomputers, when biologists need superbull machinery and engineering facilities, when biologists want to raise fish and clone Wagyu cows......

Biologists certainly don't have to do this, they have to, and it's really rare to see it in scientists' dictionaries.

For most things, there is always a tactful turnaround.

However, biologists can also be willful.

Nobel Prize-level biologists are naturally more capricious.

Facts have proved that most Nobel laureates do not easily obtain the right to be willful in social life. Instead, they will be treated more harshly.

It's as if you are poor and you are justified, and the concept that the higher your status, the more you should suffer, is almost deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Yang Rui does not want to be a high-flying mascot, he is a scientist, and scientists are also qualified to consume high-priced tea, live in luxury houses, and drive luxury cars, of course, such a wish is about difficult for most scholars to achieve.

Even after 30 years, the average salary of a scholar will hardly reach the standard of $30,000, and the salary of $50,000 is almost the high point of a scholar with a surname if it is not changed specifically for money.

In contrast, Pu'er tea can bring Yang Rui a lot of comfort, if you pay millions of yuan a year to simply use the income of tea, this money can be exchanged for billions of yuan in 20 years.

For 10 years or more, the total value can be exchanged for the market value of a Fortune 500 company, of course, this has to be sold a little slower.

However, even hundreds of billions of yuan, or even hundreds of billions of yuan, is more than enough to maintain a world-class laboratory, and it is still difficult to build a new one.

Not to mention Harvard's annual funding of 10 billion US dollars, it is Tsinghua University's annual funding of 4 billion yuan, and it is easy to spend ten times more if the finger gap is a little wider.

Who doesn't want to use better reagents and equipment, it's just that they can't afford it.

However, it would be easy to sell the mahogany and porcelain and build another laboratory.

That's pretty much the limit.

As the top existence of the company's laboratory, Bell Labs is still living so hard, Yang Rui is not optimistic about the income and expenditure ratio of private laboratories, additional investment is inevitable, and it will exist for a long time.

As for the impact of public spending on science, it often falls short of the impact of literacy on IQ. Let a group of people who don't know the Lagrange median value theorem judge the scientific value and scientific direction, it is better to pull a wolf day, and then let the surviving coin toss, at least people train their muscles with their hearts.

The advantage of being reborn is that it is easier to get money so that you can do what you like.

The benefit of the Nobel Prize is about to hold a large sum of money without worrying about being slaughtered.

Yang Rui threw hundreds of billions of big business to Jiang Zhijun, and said one more sentence: "If you have time, help me buy some jade rough, as well as Hetian jade and Hetian jade seeds, which are easy to store." ”

Jiang Zhijun was immune to Yang Rui's extravagant spending, but when his desire to consume skyrocketed after winning the Nobel Prize, he just wanted to have one more job, and asked weakly: "How much do you want to buy?"

"How much money is Jade now?"

"You don't even know the price...... Jiang Zhijun complained powerlessly, and said: "A few days ago, a friend of mine bought two pairs of jade bracelets, I heard that it was very good, and gave a total of 1,000 yuan, which I bought in the mall." ”

"What level of jade bracelet?"

"Didn't ask. ”

"Well, if you want to do this, buy a million to test the water first?" Yang Rui was not in a hurry, the price increase of jadeite was a matter of the future, and now it is just hoarding.

He will get millions of dollars for the Nobel Prize alone, and he can't save it in the bank, so he will use it as pension money after 30 years.

Jiang Zhijun didn't care, he just said with some curiosity: "You haven't been busy with the joint venture factory for the past two days?"

He helped Yang Rui, but it was just to mix a supporting factory.

I just don't know how embarrassed Comrade Jiang Zhijun is when he thinks of today's scene more than ten or twenty years later.

"It's basically done, it's all a ceremony, the signing ceremony of North United Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Jielikang won the bid, I am very happy, and I sent the president. Take a commemorative photo or something. When Yang Rui talked about things, he was very unmotivated.

Doing business is indeed not his interest, a pharmaceutical company like Sinovel Pharmaceutical is just that, in addition to preparing to produce orphan drugs for Gaucher disease, Northern United Pharmaceutical may also produce various ordinary drugs, which is out of Yang Rui's professional scope, and he is not willing to spend time, doing more perfunctory than he said.

Jiang Zhijun was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Jielikang is your old acquaintance, which is also a good thing." ”

"I'll introduce you when I'm free. Yang Rui saw what Jiang Zhijun meant, and was too lazy to play tricks, so he said: "The vice president of Jielizen China is Frank, he will take charge of this joint venture project in the future, and he is indeed my old acquaintance, I will take you to recognize someone another day." ”

"Great, thank you, Professor Yang. Jiang Zhijun was willing to be gluttonous with the bunch of procurement tasks pressed on him at this time.

Jielikang's advantages in China are too obvious, such a joint venture party, not only Hu Chi and others are satisfied, Jiang Zhijun is also quite satisfied.

On the other hand, they are also among the top 10 super pharmaceutical companies in the world, with the ability to apply for new drugs and generic drugs.

Of course, the relationship with Yang Rui is also one of the reasons why they finally won the bid.

This is not only because Yang Rui likes them relatively more, but Jielikang also has some trust in North United Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., which has no fame at all, because of Yang Rui. After all, it is difficult to make up your mind and pay a lot of money to invest in a third world country without a powerful person to trust.

The next day, Jiang Zhijun deliberately asked people to find a number of newspapers, and looked at the bright smile of Hu Chi, director of the Chemical Medicine Revitalization Office, and also showed an extremely bright smile.

Yang Rui loves to spend as much money as you want, it's best if you run out of money and come to me.

When the time comes, if Yang Rui asks me to borrow money, will I borrow it?

Jiang Zhijun fell into deep contemplation, secretly fantasized about that scene, and said in his heart: When the time comes, we must let him go to the east to buy mung bean cake, the west to buy red bean cake, the north to buy oil cakes, and the south to buy eggs, and then lend him some money.

With such a wonderful fantasy, Jiang Zhijun stepped on the train to the south and sowed funds in order to improve the living standards of the people in the poor areas of the motherland.
