Chapter 474: The Temptation of Chi Guoguo
"I invite you to Tokyo this time so that you can join my future biology laboratory when you return to Japan in the future!"
To everyone's surprise, Tian Lu's first sentence was so direct!
Under everyone's surprised, calm, or blank gaze, Tian Lu smiled slightly, and then said: "I know that most of you hope to continue to work and live in RIBEN in the future, but I believe that there will be some people who will choose to return to China after completing their studies in the future, and even choose to return to China after working in RIBEN for a period of time, I hope that when you return to China in the future, you can give the future biological laboratory a chance!"
After Tian Lu finished saying this, there was a sudden silence in the private room.
After saying his thoughts, Tian Lu planned to give everyone some time to think, and some of these international students were thinking about Tian Lu's intentions, and some were really thinking about Tian Lu's proposal.
"Teacher Tian. β..
After a while, it was the same Zhou Ye who took the lead in asking, "What about the future laboratory...... Is it the future lab that sold patents in May for more than $2 billion?"
"Ahh
Zhou Ye mentioned this, and a low voice suddenly sounded in the room. Obviously, many people remembered the news some time ago. In that paragraph, the professional media of RIBEN, especially the neurological website, also reported it vigorously, which made these Chinese people in a foreign country proud, but it seems that many people did not associate the news with Tian Lu.
Relying only on their academic prestige, Tian Lu was enough to attract them.
Tian Lu's heart moved, and he was suddenly a little impressed by this Zhou Ye, and quickly nodded and smiled: "Yes, it is the future laboratory, but more than two billion dollars, hehe." I've spent almost half of the past two months alone, so ...... There aren't that many anymore. β
"Boom!"
After hearing Tian Lu's last words. Twenty-two people, with forty-four eyes puffed out, like bullfrogs, were fixed on Tian Lu's body!
Half of it has already been spent?
Doesn't that mean in just two months? Tian Lu spent a billion dollars in one go?!
What did he do?
That's not a billion riyuan, it's not a billion Chinese dollars, it's a billion dollars!
Time. In addition to the inexplicable shock, there was a strong curiosity in everyone's hearts. Two months is not a short time, but it is definitely not a long time, if for a large company with tens of thousands of employees, a billion dollars is certainly not a big number, it can be spent casually, but for a small laboratory. Where can the billion dollars go?
Is it possible to pay bonuses all of them?
Everyone's reaction was naturally to see Tian Lu's eyes one by one, but this was exactly the effect he wanted, so he was not in a hurry, and slowly picked up his wine glass and took a sip of the red wine in the glass.
The smell of alcohol that I never liked in Pingri. It's so mellow today!
After a long time, Li Jia finally stammered and asked, "Professor Tian, what are you doing with all these billion dollars...... Can you tell us about it?"
"yes, yes, can you tell me?"
After hearing Li Jia's question, everyone came back to their senses and echoed it.
Tian Lu squinted his eyes and smiled.
"Okay, I'll tell you about it. β
Tian Lu, who was cheap and obedient, said with a smile: "Actually, there is nothing special, the scale of our laboratory has always been relatively small, and so many results have been achieved over the years, mainly relying on everyone's efforts." Therefore, after such a huge injection of funds, the first thing that comes to my mind is to improve everyone's working environment! First-class scientific researchers need first-class laboratories, first-class experimental equipment, and first-class scientific research funds, which is the consistent creed of our laboratory!"
Everyone's breathing suddenly became short!
Tian Lu's words can be regarded as speaking to everyone's heart!
What do you value most as a researcher?
In addition to personal salary, it is the scientific research environment that they can get! To tell the truth, many people run out of China, sometimes not necessarily for better living conditions, after all, as long as they have enough ability, they can live very well in China. But in many cases, seeking a better research environment has become the goal of everyone's pursuit.
In this regard, although the country has made rapid progress in recent years, the gap between the country and the old developed countries such as the United States and RIBEN will make most people despair......
"First of all, we just bought a lab building of our own!"
While the iron was hot, Tian Lu then smiled and said: "Eighteen floors above ground and three floors underground, located in the golden area of the city center of Kyoto City, this alone has cost almost 400 million US dollars! As you know, the requirements of the laboratory are too different from ordinary office buildings, and in order to have enough power to carry out a thorough renovation, we can only buy that building." Secondly, after having a new building, it had to be renovated, renovated, and redesigned according to the top of the art laboratory, on which we invited two professional design and security companies from Germany, and all the costs added up to almost 100 million US dollars. Haha, in order to build a top-notch laboratory building, a total of 500 million US dollars have been released, and these huge expenditures have almost made the two senior executives of our laboratory almost turn their faces on me!"
When he said this, Tian Lu's face showed a trace of embarrassment and bitter smile, but what no one could see was that his heart was already happy.
Obviously, after hearing that Tian Lu spent five hundred million dollars just to be able to set up a laboratory according to the top standards, everyone's eyes flashed with shock again!
"And what about the remaining 500 million?"
Involuntarily, Li Jia then asked.
"If there'...... anything else"
Tian Lu paused slightly, smiled and said: "With a first-class scientific research place, we also need first-class experimental equipment, in order to fill the eighteen floors, we have ordered a large number of advanced and dense instruments and equipment from the United States, Germany, oh, and RIBEN enterprises, with a total value of more than 200 million US dollars, and according to the follow-up needs, we will continue to increase the order, and it is likely to reach the figure of 300 million US dollars!" The specific order has been placed, and by the end of the year at the latest, all the equipment will be in place and placed in our future bio building!"
"...... Uproar"
As soon as Tian Lu's words fell, the sΔo in the room moved again!
Since Tian Lu "inadvertently" revealed the news that the laboratory spent a billion dollars in two months, there has never been calm in this private room, and it has always been in a state of restlessness, and as Tian Lu's explanation progresses step by step, this restlessness is more than one high chΓ‘o after another, and it can no longer be calmed down.
"What else?
This time, it was no longer one person asking, three or four people spoke at the same time, eagerly asking.
"That's basically all the investment in hardware. β
Tian Lu suppressed the impulse in his heart, and still said unhurriedly: "The rest is software, and my so-called software investment mainly includes three aspects. β
"The first is to expand the scale of laboratory researchers and experimental technicians! In the next few years, our laboratory will have sufficient financial guarantees, and it is natural to greatly increase investment in scientific research. Of course, in order to cooperate with the overall planning of the laboratory, what is urgently needed is talents in the fields of neural stem cells, neurophysiology, psychology, pathology, immunology, molecular chemistry, biochemistry, etc.!"
Hearing Tian Lu's last words, some people in the room were happy and some were sad, and the expressions on their faces were differentiated with the listing of professional fields one by one.
"Second, having outstanding talents is only the first step, but in order to train these outstanding talents into generals and even handsome talents in the field of scientific research, we must also give them a scientific training plan! In this regard, we have established a long-term cooperation and exchange mechanism with the Scripps Research Institute, the Hannover Institute of Neuroscience, the Department of Neurology of the Edinburgh Medical School, and of course, the Department of Neurobiology of the University of Tokyo, and a large number of young researchers will be sent to each other every year for academic exchange activities!"
"As for the last one, it is natural to ensure the welfare of these new recruits!"
By the time the last item was spoken, everyone's ears had been pricked up. No matter what everyone thought at the beginning, but after Tian Lu's impactful explanation and explanation, everyone couldn't help but substitute themselves into it, so it was natural to concentrate all their attention at this critical time.
"First-class scientific researchers must have treatment worthy of their status!"
With a fierce wave of his hand, Tian Lu said categorically: "When we come to our future biological laboratory, we must ensure that everyone can continue to work with peace of mind, so in addition to the generous salary, we can provide accommodation, transportation and other subsidies when necessary, and we can even provide a large amount of settling-in allowance for particularly outstanding talents! Of course, more importantly, we must ensure sufficient scientific research funds, so that they can work according to their own scientific research ideas and realize their own research ideas!"
"In a word. β
In the last sentence, Tian Lu's voice was particularly firm: "In the next three years, we have prepared at least 200 million US dollars in funds to recruit more and better scientific research talents, provide everything they need, and provide them with the most adequate guarantee!"
After listening to the last paragraph of Tian Lu's words, the private room finally regained complete calm again. And at this time, even the most dull person finally understood the purpose of Tian Lu's words.
This is the temptation of Chiguoguo! )
