"There was a meeting at the school, and Professor Cai came over temporarily. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Lao Fang didn't find Professor Cai, only caught Dean Liu, but it was useless, the latter was the expression of "I'm here to eat the overlord meal", which obviously didn't look like he could talk about things.

Lao Fang suppressed the anxiety in his heart and said, "Lao Cai was still talking to me before, why did he turn around and leave, when will he come back." ”

"Not necessarily, maybe I won't be able to come to the meeting tomorrow. Dean Liu spread his hand and said, "There are many things in the school, and it is impossible to leave for three or four days." ”

Lao Fang scolded angrily in his heart: Tens of millions of funds belong to you, and now you say that you are busy? What is busier than this?

For domestic universities, the most important thing is funding.

If there is funding, there will be scholars, if there is funding, there will be projects, and if there is funding, there will be infrastructure, these are the most basic. The only things that can go above this are the scholars, projects, and infrastructure that can bring in funding. However, this kind of thing is something that can be encountered but not sought, that is, Yang Rui, if you want to say that the funds brought are actually not much, in essence, he has not brought a penny of funds to Peking University or the Department of Biology.

Of course, this is also the period when he is growing rapidly, Professor Cai is particularly protective of him, so he did not withdraw his funds, replaced by other researchers, applied for 50,000 yuan of funds, and was withdrawn 10,000 yuan by the school, and more than 10,000 yuan was withdrawn by the college. The so-called management fee is not the original invention of financial institutions.

Most of those who are really qualified to bring funds to the school are at the academician level, not only to apply for more funds, but also to have small project expenses, which is the treasure of the town. With Yang Rui's background and connections, after winning the Nobel Prize, he is unlikely to enter the level of oversupply. However, once he entered, the amount of funds spilled was also excessive.

Ordinary academicians can spill over 30 or 40 percent, and a scholar with a fund of about 1 million a year is equivalent to only 300,000 or 400,000 yuan a year -- this was the level in the 80s, and the amount of funds for a dignified academician to apply for one million yuan a year cannot be regarded as less.

Powerful academicians don't necessarily overflow more, but the amount of funding will be a little higher, but it can't be too high, and the scholars who really want to apply for tens of millions of funds in 86 have extremely powerful projects in their hands, but they overflow less.

However, in the past year, Yang Rui's expenses have been nearly 10 million US dollars, and the supporting RMB is also several million, which can be said to be more than the expenses of ten academicians. However, G protein-coupled receptors are more able to eat funds, and after calculating so much money, the overflow can be described as negative, because Yang Rui also filled in a lot of money.

Only after Yang Rui goes further, the overflow amount will increase, and at that time, even if Yang Rui applies for funds every year, only 10% of the overflow, it will be millions or even tens of millions, for a school or a college, it is a proper cash cow, whether this money is distributed by the school or Yang Rui himself, as long as the meat rots in the pot, it is extremely terrifying.

Yang Rui can do G protein-coupled receptors without paying management fees, and there is also such an expectation.

In Lao Fang's view, 863, together with the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education's fund allocation, accounts for almost the majority of the annual flexible funds, and it is almost impossible for Professor Cai to leave at this time.

He said very unhappily: "Lao Liu, we have known each other for some years, don't pinch me at this time." No matter what Lao Cai said before, if I ignore it, he will not take advantage of it, if it is not good, I can still make some trouble for you, and when we have to talk, we will not come out to talk, what are you waiting for?"

"Didn't you say you didn't talk about it two days ago?" Lao Liu smiled and didn't care about Lao Fang's threat.

Lao Fang's face was not red, and he said neatly: "If Lao Cai really doesn't want to talk, he won't come to me today, hurry up, don't hold it, you have to save time and talk to other people." ”

However, this issue was discussed between Dean Liu and Professor Cai, and Dean Liu pretended to think for a while, and said, "I'll call Lao Cai, if nothing happens, he can come over early tomorrow." ”

"Come early?" the old man frowned: "How early?"

"6 o'clock. Our discussion starts at 9 o'clock, and there are 3 hours of free space. ”

With such a time arrangement, the old party was naturally dissatisfied, but he was also helpless, so he went to discuss with others.

Early the next morning, Lao Fang, Lao Tan, Ge Xingbang and others all got up early in the morning and came to the conference room in advance.

Professor Cai and Dean Liu arrived a little later, but they were both in time for 6 o'clock.

A few people tore open a piece of paper and drew on it.

The total funds of less than 30 million yuan were ripped back and forth by several people for distribution, not only for their respective units and themselves, but also for other people and their respective projects.

It's a simple number, and people who don't know how many complex technologies are going to be derived, but in fact, it's just a simple penny.

"6.5 million, it can't be reduced any more, otherwise there will be no point in talking. When it was almost 9 o'clock, Professor Cai finally wrote a number, crossed two horizontal lines heavily, put down the pencil, and said: "Yang Rui has received more funding this year, not counting other project sources." ”

This money is the funds of the three major departments, and it belongs to the additional money that can be obtained from the unit, for non-academicians, millions is already a dream, and 6.5 million is a sky-high price.

Professor Cai's words provoked a revolt.

"There is no such thing as an increase in funding. Ge Xingbang is also an academician, and his tone is cold: "If you don't reduce it, we can't talk about it." ”

Professor Cai shook his head and said, "The basis of our conversation is not to reduce the cost, if you come with this idea, we will see how the situation develops later." ”

After talking for three hours in a row, seeing that it was almost 9 o'clock, Ge Xingbang's anger slowly rose, and he also threw away his pencil and said: "I know what you think, don't you just think that if Yang Rui doesn't win the Nobel Prize, he will have more funds next year? I don't believe it, anyone who has a Nobel Prize nomination can increase the funding by a large margin next year? If this is the case, if I get a Nobel Prize nomination, will I be able to increase the funding too?"

Nobel Prize nominations are not announced, but it is not difficult to get a Nobel Prize nomination. In addition to nominations from previous Nobel laureates, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, as well as a number of designated universities around the world (which changes every year), are also eligible for nominations.

With the qualifications of Academician Ge Xingbang, he can really find a nominee.

Of course, a simple nomination is actually not interesting, unless the nominee takes the initiative to say this, and nominations that have no possibility of winning the award will neither be announced by the Nobel Prize Committee nor leaked by the betting group.

With the rigor and privacy of a natural science prize, it doesn't make much sense to just seek a nomination.

The opposite is the Literary Award. Before Mo Yan won the prize, there were often so-called Nobel Prize nominees in China -- arguably the most unreliable propaganda, basically for the purpose of selling books.

That is, there are no books to sell for the natural science awards, so they maintain a little purity, which is equivalent to wearing *** when they go to play in the yellow eel pit.

However, nominations are different from nominations, judging by the list of ironic betting groups, only those with odds are worthy nominations, which is equivalent to being shortlisted, otherwise, it is nothing more than self-entertainment.

Yang Rui's nomination, in Professor Cai's view, is extremely valuable, so he replied quite pertinently: "Whether you can increase the funding, you say it doesn't count, I don't count if I say it, you have to say it." ”

Ge Xingbang waited for Professor Cai's words, laughed disdainfully, and said, "Could it be that Yang Rui just went to the Nobel Prize Committee to get acquainted, and he also counts?"

Dean Liu was unhappy when he heard this, and interjected: "Why do you call the face of the bastard." ”

"I don't know if there are 1,000 people who have been nominated for the Nobel Prize this year, there are always hundreds of people, how many places can Yang Rui enter? Maybe he will be eliminated in a blink of an eye, do you still have to regard him as a star of hope next year and cultivate him more? Does the country have so much money for you to spoil it?" Ge Xingbang said and got angry, slapped the table and stood up, and said: "What do you say to discuss the funds in advance, I think you just want to be alarmist and defraud the funds, let alone 6.5 million, and when the dust settles, I'm afraid he won't even want to get 3 million." ”

"What do you mean the dust has settled?"

"The shortlisted one-day tour is also settled. Ge Xingbang's tone was calm, and he seemed to be sure that Yang Rui would be quickly eliminated from the list.

His words inevitably made the slightly anxious old Fang and the others fall into thought.

Indeed, although Yang Rui does not get the Nobel Prize, it is still possible that he will continue to receive excessive funding because of the government's Nobel Prize craving, but the government's Nobel Prize craving also has a certain limit.

If Yang Rui is only shortlisted for a one-day trip, then his gold content will be greatly reduced.

It's not much better than a few people's self-entertaining nomination votes.

The most important thing is that being shortlisted for a one-day tour is equivalent to the Nobel Prize committee denying Yang Rui's value, and it will be difficult to produce the Nobel Prize if he continues to invest excessive funds.

"Whether it's PCR or G protein-coupled receptors, it's impossible to make it for a day trip. Professor Cai looked at the expressions of several people, and he also lost his enthusiasm.

"Who knows. Ge Xingbang consciously grasped the situation and said: "All in all, there is no reason to give Yang Rui 6.5 million now." ”

"It should be lowered a little. ”

"3 million is too little, with this as a base, increase a little, I think it's okay. ”

Several others also voiced their opinions.

"Let's give us a call and ask. Dean Liu suddenly spoke and said, "According to the time, around 11 o'clock, the latest news will be available." ”

After saying that, he didn't care what the others thought, picked up the phone and dialed out.

In these days, making a transatlantic phone call is not an easy task, and dialing two hours in advance is not considered early.

The others didn't have the ability to continue, so they stupidly watched Dean Liu dial the phone.

9 o'clock. At the beginning of the formal meeting of the "Bioengineering Promotion Association", the highest-ranking scholars present were all thinking, staring at the quiet telephone in the conference room.

At a quarter past 11 o'clock, the transatlantic phone finally rang again.

Dean Liu, regardless of the meeting, picked up the microphone as soon as possible and asked loudly, "What's the situation now...... Okay, I got it...... Ok ......"

When he put down the phone, everyone in the conference room looked at Dean Liu.

Fortunately, Dean Liu withstood the pressure, coughed heavily, and went directly to the conference room next door.

Professor Cai, Lao Fang and others followed in turn, and Ge Xingbang hesitated for a moment and fell behind.

By the time he entered the conference room, it was already noisy.

"Lao Ge is here. A greeting instantly shut down the voices in the conference room.

Everyone looked at Lao Ge and at the blackboard in front of the conference room.

Ge Xingbang took advantage of the situation and saw two big numbers written on the blackboard:

15！

30!

"What do you mean?" Ge Xingbang's face was slightly hot, but he still asked.

"Yang Rui has entered the 15-man squad, and the current odds of betting on him to win the Nobel Prize are 30 to 1!" Dean Liu did not elaborate, for scholars, the concept of 30 to 1 has already aroused reverie.

Ge Xingbang chuckled in his heart, and suddenly looked at Professor Cai with some regret.

Professor Cai was expressionless and shook his head slightly. Now, it is naturally impossible for him to fight for Yang Rui's 6.5 million funds, which is not the beauty of adults, but the beauty of people.
