Chapter 209: Rent a Floor
Remember [.la] in one second to provide you with wonderful reading.
Walking out of the lobby of the Quintiles International Hotel, under the escort of Lossis and Professor House, Tian Lu took a taxi. It wasn't until the car slowly drove out of the hotel gate and left the sight of the two that Tian Lu breathed a sigh of relief, loosened his tight tie, and then smiled bitterly.
According to Professor House's calculations, the estimated cost is at least a million dollars more than Tian Lu's plan!
If you count the precision equipment that Tian Lu plans to purchase in Germany and Japan, as well as the instruments that can be bought in China, the total amount he plans to purchase is already as high as more than 30 million US dollars!
Some of these equipment, such as the one entrusted to Lossis, are relatively sophisticated equipment that cannot be produced in China, while some, such as those purchased in China, are conventional equipment, which are usually used in large quantities, but the price is not high, but in any case, these things are extremely important to Tianlu's laboratory and must be had. He has long been unable to tolerate the fact that most of the equipment needs to be borrowed, and even after the purchase, he still can't get rid of the borrowing situation, but at least most of it can be self-sufficient.
The down payment of 50 million US dollars, deducting taxes, and then removing the 5 million US dollars reserved by Tian Lu for the later research, has barely reached Tian Lu, and he spent it in advance!
As for the five million dollars left behind, it seems like a lot, but if you do the math, Tian Lu has to rent enough space, recruit a large number of researchers and experimental technicians, and other messy expenses, I am afraid that it will be enough for a year or two at most. And the follow-up $50 million, even if Nofi's speed is faster. I'm afraid it will take two or three years to pay, right?
In an instant, Tian Lu had already made up his mind that he had to go to the headquarters of Nofi, and he must be fully prepared, speak as detailed and complete as possible, and promote the completion of the other party's preclinical experiments as soon as possible!
The road was in good condition at noon, and the taxi was speeding all the way. He sent Tian Lu to the Institute of Neurobiology.
This afternoon, when there was plenty of time, Tian Lu made an appointment with the fourteen students who had chosen him as his mentor in the eight-year program to prepare for a small test. The number of people this time is really a bit large. If you talk one by one, I'm afraid it will take too long, so Tian Lu has to use the most conventional method to conduct a screening.
However, he deliberately refused Lossis's invitation to lunch. Arrived at the research institute in advance, Tian Lu also planned to have a good chat with Tong Xiangyang...... Who do you mean by wanting to rent a floor here?"
Tong Xiangyang's eyes widened like copper bells, and when he spoke, it was as if someone had choked his neck, and his voice suddenly became sharp and abnormal!
Tian Lu nodded, and said, "Yes, Teacher Tong, I would like to ask the school for your help, if I want to rent a floor, how much is the rent? By the way, and can I do some partial changes to those rooms?"
"You, you wait first. β
Tong Xiangyang waved his hand vigorously, as if he was trying his best to digest what Tian Lu had just said, and it took a long time to come back to his senses. He blinked his eyes and asked, "Xiao Tian, are you sure you're going to rent a whole floor?" You know, you're only one person now, right? Even if you accept two more students today, will you be able to use that much space?"
"Uh...... Tian Lu was slightly stunned by Tong Xiangyang's question, hesitated for a moment and then nodded and said, "Although I am only one person now, I plan to start expanding the strength of the laboratory recently. Some researchers and experimenters need to be recruited, so it is also advisable to prepare in advance. β
"But there are nearly twenty rooms on that floor, and there are at least ten large rooms that can be used as laboratoriesγγγγγγγ! Even if it's like this for our biology institute, can your laboratory be expanded to such a large scale? Besides, if you have a place, you need to have basic equipment, right? You have to have enough staff, right? Rent, equipment, and support those recruited personnel, but it takes a lot of money, do you have it now?"
Tong Xiangyang was still a little incomprehensible, and asked with a slightly blank expression.
Tong Xiangyang also knows that Tian Lu's current appeal is enough, if he just looks at the research prospects, many people must flock to it. But also, this is not the original era, no one will be willing to be poor, especially those outstanding scientific researchers, there are too many choices, those pharmaceutical companies in society, even including those CRO companies and pharmaceutical consulting companies and other enterprises, will give quite high remuneration, if only rely on future research prospects to attract them, I am afraid not many people are willing to come.
"Yes!"
This time, Tian Lu replied without a trace of hesitation, and nodded solemnly: "At the beginning, I will control the speed, it will definitely not be so fast, but two years, I'm afraid it is enough to fill a floor." As for the equipment and funds, Mr. Tong does not have to worry, as long as it is New Year's Day, a large number of equipment will arrive, and there will be sufficient funds to ensure it. β
Feeling the strong confidence in Tian Lu's body, Tong Xiangyang's heart beat wildly, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, he suddenly sat up straight, and asked in shock: "Xiao Tian, γγγγγγ Did you sell the patent for that small molecule compound?"
Under the gaze of Tong Xiangyang's scorching gaze, after a moment of silence, Tian Lu nodded quietly.
After getting the other party's confirmation, Tong Xiangyang suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, and fell back to the back of the chair in a dejected manner. Suddenly, a deep sense of loss welled up in my heart, as well as the remorse that quietly appeared.
When Tian Lu proposed to cooperate with the Institute of Neurobiology, Tong Xiangyang was extremely happy, after all, the other party was a researcher with outstanding achievements, and the cooperation was definitely beneficial and harmless. It's just that although it is a cooperative relationship, the other party happily agreed, and all the achievements in the blood-brain barrier were published in the first unit of the research institute, which made Tong Xiangyang feel that he had taken advantage of the other party, and he was a little embarrassed to see Tian Lu and Leng Yan for a while.
It's just that when Tian Lu published that article and showed the world the small molecule compound he discovered, Tong Xiangyang suddenly understood: he was wrong, and it was a big mistake!
As a professional in neurobiology, although the research field is not here, this does not prevent Tong Xiangyang from knowing the value of that kind of small molecule compound! Especially when there is no similar product in the world for the time being, once this small molecule compound is successfully marketed as a drug, the value is simply unimaginable!
It's just that no matter how valuable this small molecule compound is, it has nothing to do with the Institute of Neurobiology.
When the original agreement was signed, it was clear that the research articles in this area were published by the institute as the first unit, and even the follow-up results were the same, but the Institute of Neurobiology would give up all other rights, that is, except for the signature, all other interests belonged to Tian Lu personally!
Of course, for the Institute, this cooperation does not suffer a loss. What Tong Xiangyang provided for Tian Lu, in addition to Zheng Ye's technician, was a room, some basic facilities and an annual research fund of 100,000 yuan, but in exchange for two heavyweight articles, as well as the ensuing reputation and material rewards from the school at the end of the year. In this regard, Beijing Normal University has always been stingy, especially for articles published in top magazines, whether it is a research institute or an individual, it will definitely be rewarded!
It's just that, compared to the harvest of Tianlu, these things are simply not worth mentioning!
After thinking of this, Tong Xiangyang's heart was extremely complicated at the moment. If time can be reversed, back to the time when he just met Tian Lu, he will definitely not hesitate to withdraw funds from the institute, apply for new funds from the school, and provide Tian Lu with the best research conditions, so as to occupy a certain substantial share in the other party's research results, then now, the institute may usher in an opportunity for development.
It's just that...... Alas. β
Sighing softly, Tong Xiangyang tried his best to put aside the unrealistic thoughts in his mind, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Tian, are you sure you want to rent a whole floor? Now that the utilization rate of the experimental building is not high, and you are a teacher in the school, it is estimated that the resistance to renting it will not be very great." But you have to think about it, although the cost of renting a house in the school will be much lower than the market price, but after all, it is a one-story building, and it must still be a large amount. Besides, the lease is usually a relatively long contract, and you have to pay the money every year, are you sure you can afford it?"
Tong Xiangyang didn't know how much Tian Lu sold the patent and what the form of payment was, so he still had to ask.
"I'm sure!"
Tian Lu smiled slightly, and immediately nodded: "If it is convenient for you here, can you help me submit the application as soon as possible?" I hope to finalize this matter as soon as possible, and it is best to officially move in on the first day of January, do you think it is okay?"
"Well, I'll try. β
Feeling complicated, he glanced at Tian Lu again, Tong Xiangyang nodded, and accepted the matter. Since this is already the case, there is no need for him to worry about anything anymore, it is better to agree happily. In any case, Tian Lu's future research results in this area are still from the Institute of Neurobiology, right?
Seeing Tong Xiangyang nodding, Tian Lu finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Although he can also go directly to Zheng Mingchen, the dean of the School of Basic Medical Sciences, but now that there is a cooperative relationship with the research institute, Tian Lu still hopes that Tong Xiangyang will come forward, and it is also the least respect for the partner.
After confirming one thing, Tian Lu finally let go of a stone in his heart, but he immediately thought of another purpose for himself to come to Tong Xiangyang, and after a little silence, he then smiled: "Teacher Tong, in addition, I have one more matter, I'm afraid I have to ask you for help......
