Chapter 212: Academic Sponsorship
Remember [.la] in one second to provide you with wonderful reading.
After an examination, Tian Lu selected four students according to the results of fourteen candidates, and then after another round of interviews, two students were finally determined. Same as last year, there is still a man and a woman, the male is called Qin Yue, and the female is called Wei Qinglin, all of whom are extremely good, Tian Lu handed over the two to Xia Ruo and Huang Qiaoqiao to be responsible, and the procedure is the same as when they first came last year, starting from the most basic materials, including some basic experimental techniques, all of which are trained by the two senior brothers and sisters.
This is the arrangement of Tian Lu, in the future, every year the new students, including the new recruits, will be handed over to the old people for training, otherwise, if everyone has to come by himself, I am afraid that the time will have to be spent on this.
When people are busy, time passes the fastest.
With the addition of two new students, the space in the lab became more and more cramped. Originally, the room of dozens of square meters was actually not small, but it was full of various experimental instruments and equipment, which was quite crowded, plus five permanent personnel, and Tian Lu would often come, it was not enough.
Tian Lu made a phone call almost every day, urging Lu Xiaoding's progress to ask about it!
Under the pressure of Tian Lu, and Lu Xiaoding really attached great importance to this case, he mobilized several outstanding employees to work together, and finally called Tian Lu four and a half days later. As soon as he received a call from Lu Xiaoding, Tian Lu immediately contacted Lotis and arranged for everyone to meet in the evening.
It's still at the Quintiles International Hotel, or it's in that luxury suite.
There are still two people on the side of Tianlu. And the other party is still that luxury lineup, Lu Xiaoding and the other party's three lawyers discussed more than ten doubtful places, because the "high-level" of both sides were all present, the modification and addition of the terms was unusually smooth, it only took less than two hours, and the entire contract was completed!
The secretary-like blonde woman made changes to the contract on the spot and reprinted four copies. And as the lawyer representing Tian Lu. In cautious consideration, Lu Xiaoding proposed to take it back for a detailed review again, which was also approved by Lossis.
Same as that day. Lu Xiaoding left early, and the others also retreated. This time, Professor House didn't stay either. Everyone tacitly left room for Lossis and Tian Lu to communicate individually.
"Mr. Tian, let's have a toast for the success of the cooperation!"
Although the contract has not yet been signed, the matter is basically settled, so Lossis was in a particularly happy mood at this time and took out another bottle of good wine.
Tian Lu was also in a good mood, and after taking it, he touched the other party and took a big sip.
"The list of instruments you made last time has been sent back to me by the headquarters. ”
Motioning for Tian Lu to sit down, Lossis said with a smile: "The sum of all the equipment quotations is 11.24 million US dollars. Much less than Professor House had anticipated. Because the company's equipment is relatively complete, there has been no large-scale procurement in the past two years, and the price in his impression is two or three years ago.
Tian Lu was overjoyed when he heard this!
Nearly two million dollars were lost all of a sudden, where did Tian Lu still have any strange meaning? Hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "Thank you so much." Mr. Lossis. But you also know that I get your company's money is estimated to have to wait for a while, can you please communicate with your company's headquarters, first set the equipment, and then send it as soon as possible, the specific payment from my down payment on the line. ”
"Of course that's fine!"
The convenience of this kind of effort. It was impossible for Lossis not to agree, and nodded with a smile: "I will call the head office tomorrow and inform them to place an order immediately." ”
"Thank you very much!"
Smiling and raising his glass to Lossis, Tian Lu drank the rest of the red wine!
Pouring another cup for Tian Lu, Rosis pondered for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "Mr. Tian, I would like to ask, you should continue to study the blood-brain barrier in the future with such a large-scale expansion of the laboratory, right?"
"Of course!"
At this time, Tian Lu was obviously in a very good mood, changed his habit of not drinking much on weekdays, took another sip, and then said with a smile: "In fact, in addition to the tips in the review published in the journal Nature, I have many ideas and plans that will be experimented with one by one in the next two years." Mr. Lossis, there are some things that I would even give you some hints when I visit your company's R&D department. ”
Hearing Tian Lu's words that were obviously said in excitement, Lossis's eyes suddenly flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Tian, in that case, I don't know the possibility of further cooperation between our company and your laboratory?"
"Further cooperation?"
Tian Lu was slightly stunned, and said with a dumb smile: "Aren't we working together now?"
"No, no, no, Mr. Tian may have misunderstood. ”
Lossis immediately shook his head and said very seriously: "I mean, cooperate in your follow-up research, well, if you expand it, our company even hopes to have in-depth cooperation with you in other fields of research!"
Hearing Lossis's words, the expression on Tian Lu's face suddenly became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lossis, what do you mean...... Our company would like to sponsor your research!"
Seeing that Tianlu seemed to understand what he meant, Lossis no longer concealed it, and said directly: "Every year, we will provide a fund to fund your laboratory, but in the same way, we also hope that your laboratory can meet the needs of our company, conduct or guide our R&D department to carry out some experiments." In addition, if your laboratory has a similar invention of this small molecule compound in the future, we also hope that you will continue to drink our cooperation with Norfi!"
After speaking, he noticed the displeasure flashing in Tian Lu's eyes, and Lossis hurriedly explained: "Of course, this is not a necessary clause, but if it is the same condition, we hope that you can give priority to Nofi Company." And I guarantee that the conditions for cooperation in the future will definitely not be lower than this cooperation, and can even be increased according to the situation!"
As soon as Lossis said this, Tian Lu was immediately relieved.
If this kind of cooperation is to tie Tian Lu and Nofi together, then he will definitely not be able to agree. After all, for him, there will inevitably be more, or more important inventions in the future, and it is definitely unwise to tie him to the tree of a family. And to be honest, blindly selling one's results to foreign companies, or in other words, to others, is not necessarily a good thing for the future of Tianlu.
It's just that the words added by Lossis later did make Tian Lu a little moved.
Although he can get 50 million US dollars immediately, the 50 million US dollars, after deducting taxes, 30 million yuan for equipment purchases, rent and personnel salaries reserved for two years in the future, can really reach Tian Lu in the end, only 3 or 4 million are left, and there are not many left for him to continue his research. And if Nofi can provide a subsidy every year, life will definitely be much easier.
Looking at Tian Lu frowning and contemplating, Lossis's heart was full of anticipation and waiting.
As for the matter of funding the Taro Laboratory, a consensus had been reached within the Nofi Company long before Lossis came to Kyoto, especially Losis himself, after the Scripps Institute missed the Taro, he strongly suggested to the board of directors that he must maintain a close cooperative relationship with him!
At least in the research of the blood-brain barrier, Tianlu can bring a steady stream of benefits to Nofi!
The refinement of the blood-brain barrier theory will greatly promote the understanding of the academic community, thereby accelerating the clinical understanding of many diseases. Especially in some frequent and chronic diseases, the understanding of the blood-brain barrier will definitely contribute to the progress and improvement of treatment options.
It is conceivable that in the future, the application of central nervous system drugs will continue to expand, and the patent purchased by Nofi is an important part of it!
In other words, the more complete the theory of the blood-brain barrier, the faster and more benefits Novi will get in the future!
In this sense, by sponsoring Tian Lu's research, Nofi is actually funding itself. This kind of thing is very common in the United States, and many large pharmaceutical companies will sponsor those basic research institutions, many in order to let them make breakthroughs in a certain aspect as soon as possible, so as to promote the sales of their own products.
Moreover, in the field of neuromedicine, Tian Lu is obviously already a heavyweight in the world, at least in the two fields of blood-brain barrier and epilepsy, Lossis is very optimistic about him. Now, Novi is gradually making efforts in central nervous system drugs and trying to occupy more market share, so investment in academia is absolutely essential, even if it is not invested in Tianlu, it will also be invested in other neurological research institutes. So in this case, why not give it to this Chinese who is both young and has a future?
As for the idea that the follow-up invention gives priority to Nofi, it is purely a piggybacking on the foot, and if there is one, there is joy, and there is no and nothing to lose.
This is definitely beneficial for both parties, and Lossis feels that Tian Lu has no reason to refuse.
In fact, that's exactly what Tian Lu thinks. He has been in the United States for seven or eight years, and at this time he already knows Lossis's thoughts very well, but no matter how he thinks about it, he can't think of any harm in agreeing to it!
After muttering for a long time, Tian Lu raised his head and gradually stretched his brows: "Mr. Lossis, I want to ask first, if your company plans to fund my laboratory, how much can it guarantee at least for a year?"!~!
