Zhu Xifeng is indeed a talent, and he can always have a keen sense of smell to discover some new things that are in the gestation period, and has great expectations and good feelings. Yao Aijun didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

For example, if you change someone, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to follow the recommendation of others and run a company with a teenager.

This time, he had his eye on a laboratory that hydrolyzed peptide synthetics. When he first talked about it, Yao Aijun was completely confused. Peptides? What is this thing? What is hydrolysis?

Zhu Xifeng smiled, ran to their kitchen to get a glass of water, and brought the seasoning jar over. He added a spoonful of salt and four spoonfuls of sugar to the water and asked, "Do you feel familiar with this?" ”

"Sugar brine?"

"It's sugar and salt water, do you drink some after training?"

"That's right, replenish the body's electrolytes."

Zhu Xifeng pointed to the water cup in front of him and said: "Sugar and salt water can only replenish the salt and energy lost in the body in the simplest way, and peptides are important amino acid components required by the body. So—"

"So, it's a functional drink!" Yao Aijun's eyes lit up.

"Tsk, you know it all!" Zhu Xifeng glanced at him unhappily, at this time, someone in China can accurately define this thing called "functional drink"! He wants to show off his chances!

Yao Aijun smirked, and the chopsticks that he had eaten stopped drinking. He pinched his chopsticks and wandered for a moment, then sighed, "This is a good thing!" Can we take it? ”

The emergence of real functional drinks in China was in the late 90s, and it is estimated that it is less than two or three years away from here. Although there was a lack of interest in this at the beginning, with the acceleration of the social rhythm and the awakening of public health awareness, these functional drinks accounted for most of the daily health care products market.

Maybe you don't have a multivitamin tablet every day, but it's extremely common to drink a bottle of three or five dollars after a game.

Zhu Xifeng found that this project can be said to be lucky, the patent project in Yao Aijun's hand was biased towards exercise physiology, and he was naturally concerned about this scientific research project in universities.

A few months ago, Yao Aijun's paper under the guidance of Professor Xu was also looking for a unit to be published, and Professor Xu pointed out to him that the research department of a certain university in the southeast was hanging. There are people in the court who are good officials, and this is often the case in the academic circle, whether you say that it is passed down in the same vein, or whether it is academic kinship, the mentors of the big bull can always find out the leaders of the disciplines scattered all over the place.

So when Zhu Xifeng contacted others, they were ready to say hello, and there was naturally no problem with Professor Xu controlling the level of the article, and Zhu Xifeng was a very good communicator, so he naturally got things done smoothly.

Just when the department was chatting happily, a gloomy but stubborn young man slammed the door in the next office, looking quite angry and ruined.

Zhu Xifeng was shocked and paused, and the teacher who received him opposite was also quite embarrassed, and said helplessly: "It's not easy to do scientific research in colleges and universities." Professor Xu, their key universities can still have the spare strength to guide and bring a group of juniors, and it is difficult for us to share our own resources. ”

Zhu Xifeng asked, "Are we so nervous?" ”

It seems that it is usually difficult to find outsiders who don't know much about the industry to complain safely, and the teacher on the other side also told him happily. Applied science, especially engineering, is relatively good. National infrastructure needs, and often some projects can be supported by government funds. But more often than not, unsupported projects rot in academic papers and journals.

When he came out of the department, Zhu Xifeng subconsciously looked for the back of the person who had just rushed out on campus. He had an intuition that he smelled a "monster gene" similar to Yao Aijun's in that person.

After going to school for nearly a week, he finally paid off his hard work, and one afternoon he caught someone. This young doctor named Luo Hao is actually a turtle, but unfortunately he always looks like a turtle......

When Zhu Xifeng met Luo Hao, he was holding a meeting of their project team in an idle annex of a teaching building. There were three or two kittens in total, and there were four or five bottles of beer piled up on the ground, which made these young people drink until they hugged their heads and cried.

Whether it was the amount of alcohol or the miserable situation, Zhu Xifeng felt incredible...... One bottle per person on average?

Zhu Xifeng squatted in the next room, listening to their sad and tearful stories about their ideals and hard work. This group of people is really talented, but they don't know how to pack. The biochemical laboratory is a valuable project, and both the medium and the material require a high storage environment and a demanding shelf life.

Every time you repeat a sample, you are burning a sum of money. And that's not even counting the various devices that have been invested in a starting price of more than one million dollars. In recent years, most of the scientific research equipment has been purely dependent on imports, and this money is indispensable.

Luo Hao's experiment has basically completed 60% of the progress, but the department has no money to continue burning. And their results are not enough to be in a blockbuster magazine like Science, and they cannot highlight the scientific research achievements of universities. It was only stopped after the publication of the previous results.

The project was put on hold and the team was on the verge of disbanding. Luo Hao took three assistants, a woman and two men, hugged his head and cried.

Zhu Xifeng was a little emotional, although he was a management discipline, he also followed his mentor to do projects. It's really uncomfortable to be busy with a project in the dark, and the feeling of having to stop for various reasons after paying.

After finding the target, Zhu Xifeng's approach was still very decisive. After communicating with the other party and establishing a preliminary understanding relationship, he came to Yao Aijun after finding out the bottom of it. Their biggest problem now is that they have no money.

It is extremely expensive to support a research project to continue. According to their own company's poor revenue, plus the savings of the two are not enough to buy an instrument!

Yao Aijun pulled his hair sadly, thinking that he was making okay, but looking at whose children in their teens could earn a company. However, the reality is such a slap in the face, and if you want to develop a new project, you will immediately run out of money.

"Or, sell the patent in your hand." Yao Aijun made up his mind.

"How much can it be sold, the market with this demand is not easy to find." Zhu Xifeng also thought about it when he came, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not easy to make a move, and he was originally thinking about whether to find upstream and downstream companies to develop together.

After the idea was spoken, Yao Aijun didn't quite agree.

"Develop together, others have more money, we have less money. One has technology and the other has capital, why do people let us get caught in it? We have to have our own intellectual property to have bargaining power! Sell this one in order to win a new one! ”

Yao Aijun thought for a while and asked, "Can you contact a foreign company that makes software?" Our set of sports muscle group assessment tools is originally a very practical project, and it should be easier to sell it if you find a software company to jointly develop it and then sell it to medical, fitness and other places. In his impression, this set of assessment tools was originally made by a foreign company, and it was sold to various consumer groups who needed to accurately monitor the status of muscle groups.

Zhu Xifeng squinted his eyes and thought about it, it was true that he hadn't considered this piece, but the direction was very valuable. "It's a bit nervous to go to a software company for development now, and it's not enough to build a system in a year. At that time, it will be too late to go to Luo Hao again. I went to a friend to find out the situation and asked directly if there were any medical companies that were interested. ”

After having a direction, people are much clearer at once. The two continued to discuss what would happen if they took over Luo Hao's project. Yao Aijun helplessly spread his hands and looked at the sky, it was difficult to make money, and it was even more difficult to raise a golden rooster that laid eggs!

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed, and Zhu Xifeng smiled: "We are all wrapped in!" It's astronomical to build a laboratory, and we can't think of a way to smash the pot and sell iron. But, we can rent! ”
