Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Doubtful Professor
The news of Yang Zhou's opening of a company outside the school finally spread widely.
After all, this time it was in the name of the school to engage in charity, and the school was also worried about what scandal would happen, Bai Shulong was questioned by the school's external propaganda department, and a week after selling the goods, Bai Shulong asked where Yang Zhou's company was, and he wanted to come and see it in person.
There were also other school leaders who came over.
Yang Zhou was doing experiments outside the school, so he naturally reported it, and Yang Zhou also sent photos of the greenhouse base to the tutor, otherwise the tutor would be worried.
Hearing that Bai Shulong and the school leaders were coming to the company, Yang Zhou hurriedly informed everyone to pay attention to the image.
Because they are all students, and they are not formal employees of Yang Zhou's company, everyone is very casual in Yang Zhou's place, some bring their own computers, and some bring a lot of snacks.
The work we do is actually very boring, and they don't need to worry about packaging and delivery, the villagers are responsible for packaging, and Shunfeng is responsible for express delivery.
The money spent is also a few million sponsored by Shunfeng, all the accounts are recorded by Zhong Hong, everyone has a salary of 3,000 yuan every month, and the work is not technical, that is, taking orders in front of the computer as a customer service, how to be happy and how to come.
There may be a bit of pressure on the only leaders such as Lu Yuyao, Wang Binxiang and Yang Zhou, who need to make a splash of the event, otherwise Shunfeng's charitable donations will be in vain.
At present, there are only 9 people in the company, two people in Qiankou Village are staring, and a few people are outside to meet media reporters to engage in joint propaganda, a total of 15 people.
Yang Zhou usually doesn't go out of his office, and when he comes out, everyone looks up at him.
"Someone from the school is coming, everyone clean up and pay attention to the impact." Yang Zhou reminded.
Everyone was in a hurry and hurriedly put the snack game machine in the drawer, but they couldn't let the leaders see them doing charity activities and living so leisurely.
Lu Yuyao and Wang Binxiang went to meet customers, and the online sales price was only 8 cents, Lu Yuyao felt that she still had to open up a few more channels, and used her own contacts to start running business.
Yang Zhou naturally supports it, anyway, he has to donate in the end, and the more he earns, the better.
If Deng Yun hadn't filmed a small video and promised to buy online for 8 cents, Yang Zhou would definitely have to increase the price to more than 1 yuan.
Bai Shulong and the school leaders walked to Zhongguancun, and Yang Zhou's office was very close to the school, and it only took ten minutes to walk.
Along the way, Bai Shulongdu and the director of the External Propaganda Department were chatting about Yang Zhou.
Cheng Fei, director of the External Propaganda Department, said with a smile: "I really didn't expect these students to make the activities bigger and bigger, and there are already commentators' articles published by the mainstream media." ”
"I also knew that Yang Zhou was working on his doctoral dissertation these days, and I didn't know that he had done this mess." Bai Shulong shook his head and said.
"It was Lu Yuyao of the MBA Business School and Wang Binxiang, the president of the student union, who helped to get it, the initiator was Yang Zhou, Wang Binxiang reported to the Youth League Committee, and he agreed to make a small fuss at that time." Cheng Fei talked about the cause and effect.
The two chatted and walked, and soon came to the Zhongguancun Building.
The company sign on the first floor has been renewed, and the name of Oasis Eco Bio Co., Ltd. can be seen on the wall.
The two saw Yang Zhou at the elevator entrance and said hello with a smile.
"Teacher, Director Cheng!" Yang Zhou greeted.
"Let's go, let's see what's going on with your company." Bai Shulong nodded and said.
Cheng Fei and Yang Zhou are not familiar with each other, but Yang Zhou knows Cheng Fei, and the school's external spokesperson is him, and it seems that the school attaches great importance to it this time.
led the two to the 17th floor, Tang Yue sat at the front desk, the office has five or six hundred square meters, in addition to the open office area, there are also glass separated conference rooms, the general manager's office, an independent small office, a financial room and so on.
Seeing Yang Zhou bring leaders and professors to the company, everyone pretended to look at the computer intently, but they did not follow any formalism.
"These people are all students majoring in business school and media at our school, and this time it is considered a work-study." Yang Zhou introduced.
Cheng Fei's expression was a little serious, and Bai Shulong asked Yang Zhou to go to the conference room to chat.
When he arrived at the conference room, Cheng Fei asked: "Is it true that you advertise that all income will be donated for this event?" ”
"Director, it's true, the head of Qiankou Village is also a graduate of our school, I just happened to know him, and after knowing the situation in their village, I wanted to help do something." Yang Zhou took out his mobile phone and opened the short video recorded by Deng Yun.
Cheng Fei and Bai Shulong nodded slightly after reading it.
"Is the accounting transparent?" Cheng Fei asked directly.
This time, he came over mainly because of the money.
Shunfeng has bought a press release advertorial on the Internet, hyped up a donation of 3 million, and also helped farmers express vegetables for free.
Lu Yuyao also contacted the media and posted the causes and consequences of the work-study of students at Qingbei University and the charity activities of vegetable parity.
Now netizens only pay attention to the vegetable market to sell radishes for three or five yuan, and online shopping only costs 0.8 cents a catty, knowing that this is a charity activity, and they have not paid attention to the issue of making a profit and finally donating.
The school must find out the inside story first, so as not to be scrambling when it comes to attention.
Yang Zhou called Zhong Hong and explained each expense in detail, Shunfeng's donation did go into the account of Oasis Ecological Biology Company, but all expenses were invoiced.
Finally, according to the order, all profits will be donated together.
"The school is welcome to send someone to supervise at any time, I am also a student of Qingbei University, and there will be no ambiguity in this matter." Yang Zhou assured.
Cheng Fei nodded with satisfaction, as long as Yang Zhou was doing things seriously, the school didn't mind giving him a platform.
Then Cheng Fei asked some students for a while, and then left early.
Bai Shulong had something to talk to Yang Zhou and stayed in the company.
After Cheng flew away, Yang Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Director Cheng came over, it really scared me." ”
"As long as you don't do things that deceive and deceive, what are you afraid of?" Bai Shulong looked around the entire office and said slowly.
After looking around, Bai Shulong frowned and said, "This office costs a lot, right?" ”
As Yang Zhou's mentor, Bai Shulong still knows a little about Yang Zhou's economic strength, and during school, Yang Zhou didn't look like a rich man.
Where did this money come from to start a company.
Yang Zhou was afraid that the professor would misunderstand, so he hurriedly told Guo Wentao's connections that he had helped sell some goods and made a lot of money.
"As long as you follow the right path, how is the experiment?" Bai Shulong asked.
Bai Shulong knew a little about other things, and what he really cared about was Yang Zhou's thesis.
Speaking of which, his mentor is doing a bit of a failure now, because Yang Zhou did this experiment, except for the initial borrowing of experimental equipment, he didn't let him help at all, and he didn't ask for advice once, and other professors took students to help correct the experiment from time to time, and even the students wanted the teacher to help correct the papers.
Yang Zhou is completely different here.
"It has been planted, and the preliminary work is going well, as long as the carrots are planted as expected, the paper will be published." Yang Zhou said with a smile.
"Show me first." Bai Shulong said.
Yang Zhou took Bai Shulong to his office, asked him to sit in the position of general manager, and opened his paper for the professor to see.
Bai Shulong looked at it very seriously, and said for a long time: "It seems that there is no problem, but the probability of success is too low, you are a bit like betting on luck." ”
"I can't find the size control switch gene or color switch gene that controls the size of the carrot, so it's good to find something else." Yang Zhou said.
Bai Shulong shook his head and said, "There is a high probability that none of your 1,000 seeds will germinate, and there is a high probability that gene editing will fail!" When the time comes, you can do other tasks with me. ”
Gene editing is very difficult, especially for plant gene editing, and there are foreign laboratories that complete all the gene sequencing of carrots, but Yang Zhou did not even carry out gene sequencing.
People's sequencing data will not be made public, which is a very valuable research result.
Bai Shulong didn't believe that Yang Zhou's 1,000 experiments would be able to get the answer he wanted, which was similar to the probability of winning 5 million.
"Teacher, the seeds of transformation have sprouted." Yang Zhou took out his mobile phone and showed Bai Shulong photos of germinated seeds.
It is true that most of the 1,000 seeds did not germinate, but there were dozens of groups that germinated.
This success rate is due to Yang Zhou's mastery of the genetic map of carrots, and he is selective when editing and extracting genes.
The two groups of target subjects that are most valued are the transformation seeds taken out of the mysterious space.
When Bai Shulong saw the tender green radish seedlings, he immediately frowned and said, "Impossible, don't go the wrong way!" ”
Now Bai Shulong's first suspicion is that Yang Zhou used good seeds instead of transformed seeds, otherwise the germination phenomenon cannot be explained.
He finished reading Yang Zhou's paper and knew all the experimental steps, although the paper was detailed in pictures and texts, Bai Shulong still did not believe that these modified seeds could survive.
"Teacher, I don't have to lie to you, wait a few days, normal carrots and modified carrots can be seen at a glance." Yang Zhou explained.
Bai Shulong came back to his senses, and it was right to think about it, Yang Zhou would not be so blatantly fake.
Looking at the photo of the sprout, Bai Shulong felt that things were a bit mysterious, how could Yang Zhou's experiment be successful.
Many people who do the same research as Yang Zhou always fail?
