Chapter 332: Invitation
Wang Yong has Yang Rui, who is valued, and other professors also have students. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Everyone wants to recommend people to Richard.
Because it's a shortcut.
Chasing Wang Yong into the door was another female professor of the Department of Biology, Lu Yueping, who was also a scholar who had been to the United States, and said with pride: "Richard, I recommend my student Zhu Jiahao to you, who is in his third year of college this year, not only has his grades been very good, but under my guidance, he has completed a very high-level paper, which was published in Plant Science, and the topic you came out this time is exactly in line with his study direction, I want to show you a special ......"
Grabbing ahead of Wang Yong, Lu Yueping took a few rolls to Richard, and then turned around and smiled: "Professor Wang, don't you mind?"
"Good men don't fight women. Wang Yongyang moved out of the way.
Richard glanced at the two of them with a smile, and said while looking at the test papers: "You know, the purpose of my recruitment of interns is to assist me in doing experiments, this is a one-time job, the time is shorter than a year, maybe only half a year, I can't promise anything. ā
"Zhu Jiahao is a junior this year, and he has a year and a half to graduate, so the time is just right. Lu Yueping continued to recommend.
Richard nodded with a smile and said, "The answer to the test paper is indeed perfect, did he complete it himself?"
"I can guarantee that I will never give away the question to him, and besides, I don't know the question. Lu Yueping's expression became serious.
"You don't know the subject either? Oh, yes. I don't mean to distrust you, though, I just hope that you can convey the right message to students, such as my management charter for the lab, and what I expect from interns. I can't be sure how long I'll be in China, so the length of my internship is also variable. Richard was a little verbose, and his speech was even slower and more anxious.
Lu Yueping and Wang Yongqi nodded in unison, and then stared at him.
Richard lowered his head with a smile, finished reading the test papers they brought, and said, "I agree with you, Yang Rui and Zhu Jiahao can be my interns." ā
"You won't be disappointed. Lu Yueping was very happy. Despite Chard's repeated reiterations, there would be no promises, but it was a good opportunity after all.
For Chinese students in the 80s, public assignment was the only way out, and it was even more difficult to enter prestigious schools. In a situation where all people have equal opportunities, even a letter of recommendation from Richard can be quite useful.
The people recommended by Lu Yueping and Wang Yong were recognized by Richard and satisfied. Wang Yong then took out other people's test papers and said, "These are the test papers passed in the class I taught, and the rest will be brought over in the afternoon, you can take a look at them first." ā
Lu Yueping also took out some test papers.
Richard smiled and sat down to look at it. He was ready to recruit a total of three interns, and Lu Yueping and Wang Yong each recommended one person, which meant that only one of the remaining students had a chance to stand out, which was naturally a little unfair, but Richard didn't care.
Afternoon.
Wang Yong specially called Yang Rui, first asked in a soft voice, and then said: "Richard is going to recruit a few interns, and the additional questions on the test paper you did were given by Richard, and you answered very well, and I will help you say something, and Richard agreed to recruit you as his intern." ā
Yang Rui was anxious at that time: "Isn't this seeking skin with the tiger? ā
"Don't be in a hurry. Wang Yong pressed his hands and said: "This is a very good thing, first of all, the conditions of Richard's laboratory are very good, the school arranges the laboratory for him according to the standard of a first-class professor, and Richard himself will apply for some equipment and funds." In addition, Richard is a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and if you do a good job, won't it be natural to apply to study at the University of California, Berkeley?
"Where is Richard's kindness. Yang Rui didn't believe it at all.
Wang Yong is a good person, patted Yang Rui on the shoulder and said: "People's hearts are flesh and blood, you accompany Richard to do experiments for half a year, he will definitely change his opinion of you, besides, since he agrees to you to join his team, he doesn't care about your rudeness in the first two days." ā
"That's rude. Yang Rui muttered, shook his head, and said, "I don't join Richard's team, I have my own things to do." ā
"You kid, you're still very stubborn. Wang Yong sighed and said, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, don't think that you got it casually." ā
"I know. ā
"You don't want to study abroad?"
"Not really. Yang Rui actually didn't want to go, but this was not in line with mainstream values, so he hid it.
At present, graduate education in China is very shallow, and doctoral education is even shallower, which cannot be compared with the education level in Europe and the United States. On the other hand, studying abroad on public assignment is actually encouraged, and any student, if he can be admitted to the postgraduate program, it means that the state will pay 200,300,000 or more for you, coupled with the favorable living conditions abroad, and the salary level of dozens or hundreds of times, such an opportunity is naturally what everyone strives for.
Wang Yong breathed a sigh of relief and said: "If you want to study abroad, you can't give up this opportunity, you must know that the professors at the University of California are very powerful, and a letter of recommendation from Richard is worth a lot of money." Although it is not difficult for you to get into the public international student program, having a letter of recommendation may increase your chances of going to a prestigious school......"
"Professor Wang......"
"Huh?" Wang Yong, who was talking energetically, stopped.
"What are the requirements in Richard's lab, and how are patents and ideas distributed?"
"Ah, I didn't ask about this, how it is generally distributed. Wang Yong obviously didn't think that patents were important, so he turned his head and educated Yang Rui and said: "As long as the conditions of the laboratory are good, don't you need more or more patents? ā
Yang Rui was quite helpless about this.
Later generations of professors, especially those in the Department of Biology, spent their busy lives working almost exclusively for patents. The ultimate goal of a professor or graduate student is to research a valuable patent and then wear Armani to teach students every day.
Pharmaceutical companies also encourage patent research by university researchers, because universities have always had an advantage in basic research, and patents that are extremely valuable to professors are also unprofitable for pharmaceutical companies, so they would rather spend hundreds of millions of dollars a year on sponsorship than conduct their own research.
Of course, pharmaceutical companies have always been wealthy, and it is normal to look down on millions of dollars, and professors with an annual salary of tens of thousands of dollars are very satisfied if they can lick millions of dollars of carrots.
Therefore, since the 80s, the pattern of professors and researchers eating patents and pharmaceutical companies taking all has gradually formed.
China's patent system has always been backward, Wang Yong does not understand is normal, he still retains the idea of the older generation, in the language education Yang Rui said: "We do research, in the final analysis, we do basic research, the vision to see far, but the vision to the near......
"Professor, I really don't have time to be an intern for Richard, and even if I don't care about patents, I have other jobs to do, such as Professor Tang's lab and the projects I applied for myself. ā
"Isn't your project already closed and applying for acceptance?"
Yang Rui was speechless for a while.
Wang Yong said again: "There are other people in the laboratory in Tang Central, so you don't have to be busy. Studying abroad is a good thing, it's a big deal, if you're embarrassed to say, I'll tell Don to go. ā
"No, no need to ......" Yang Rui hurriedly stopped Wang Yong, thought about it, and simply said: "I want to do my own things, I don't want to be an intern anymore." ā
"Sharpen the knife and don't mistake the woodcutter......"
"Professor Wang, I've really decided. Yang Rui interrupted Wang Yong again and again, with a resolute attitude.
Wang Yong couldn't persuade him, so he turned around and explained to Richard, originally thinking that Richard would say two sarcastic words.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Richard took the initiative to say: "I personally invited Yang Rui." ā
Wang Yong was surprised, and couldn't help but praise Richard, calling it: "Meritocracy." ā
When the leaders of the Department of Biology heard about this, they also felt that there was a light on their faces, and the students of their own department were favored by foreign professors, and they had the intention of looking at the thatched cottage twice, which was naturally a very face-saving thing, and it also showed that the education of the department was well-organized.
So, the department leader simply crossed the school's propaganda department, followed Richard, and went to "invite" Yang Rui, preparing to shoot a good show of three concessions and three resignations.
