Chapter 219: On the Importance of Being Rich
After Hou Dalin came in, the whole person's performance was particularly lazy. Of course, all this is not all about acting, but to a certain extent of his true feelings.
Seriously, he's not as interested in making money as he used to be. If Tong Hui hadn't called him this time, he wouldn't have even thought about bringing this product to the market.
But Hou Dalin didn't want to, but others didn't want to let go of a good opportunity to make money, not only Tong Hui found him, but countless people in China also looked for him. This made him a little tired, so he asked Tong Hui to send the president of DL Medical Company over and asked him to talk to the people here about the specific sharing issue.
Hou Dalin ignored the existence of the two people standing in his office, and talked to each other about his products and his own views on some business here. What the other party has to do is actually very simple, that is, to determine a contract with the people here, the product must be produced here, and then DL company will sell it. At most, the sales rights of some countries and regions will be relinquished. Of course, in some places, DL really doesn't want to interfere, so everyone simply divides the market.
Although this kind of medical device is not a mass equipment, its application range is not small. Not only do hospitals need him, but many research institutes also need him. DL has estimated that in the United States and Europe alone, such equipment can generate more than $200 million in profits per year.
Although Hou Dalin doesn't care much about money, this doesn't mean that Tong Hui doesn't care either. In order to appease Hou Dalin, Tong Hui had to fly to the capital to feed the tiger with her body. This is also an important reason why Hou Dalin now seems to be "dying".
casually explained his thoughts to the visitor, and then he stopped caring about such things. Now he wants to live a real retirement life, and a retired person can't be bothered by such mundane things as making money.
Hou Dalin did not go back to school today, because Tong Hui is now in the capital. No matter how you say it, she should be Hou Dalin's woman, right? Since he spent his money, of course he had to fulfill his obligations. So during this time, Tong Hui was busy making money during the day, and she had to do her best to appease Hou Dalin at night, and her life was quite "hard".
Hou Dalin chooses to sleep during the day and is responsible for plowing the fields at night, although the days are not as hard as Tong Hui's, but they are definitely not easy. After sending the president of DL Medical away, Hou Dalin went back to his special room here to rest under the protection of the two people. The two bodyguards were left outside by him, and he slept in bed for a short while, and then sneaked to his underground laboratory here.
Here, Hou Dalin's experiments are even more bizarre, he originally had a strong interest in human skin, and now he has invented a technology product that is not very good.
Here, Hou Dalin used a little skin on his body to successfully cultivate an artificial skin of about forty or fifty square centimeters. Taking advantage of the ability of space, he processed a prosthetic limb for himself. In order to make this prosthesis closer to the real limb, Hou Dalin plans to lay the skin of a real person on its appearance.
This skin is not just a look, but its sense of touch is connected to its nervous system, allowing its brain to feel the sensation of the skin on the prosthesis.
This thing is more weird, Hou Dalin has not yet achieved complete success. There are only two difficulties. One of the ways to ensure the volume of a prosthesis is to integrate the artificial skin to grow normally and maintain metabolism. To achieve this, it is necessary not only to arrange dense artificial blood vessels on the artificial body under the skin, but also to have a set of small but effective circulatory mechanisms.
Hou Dalin currently has two plans, one is to establish a self-circulation mechanism that is as effective as possible for the longest time, so that the skin system of this prosthesis can survive independently.
The second one is simpler, that is, let the prosthetic limb and his body establish a blood channel, and organically unite with his body through his own blood circulation.
The two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, Hou Dalin has completed some basic research, and the difference is also to complete the process of miniaturizing this thing.
The second difficulty, which is the real one, is how to connect the artificial skin to his neural network.
This is completely different from skin grafting, skin grafting is to make artificial skin, completely grow on the human tissue, after a period of time, the metabolism will allow the human body to naturally produce new skin, so as to gradually replace the artificial skin, at this time, the neural network will be self-consciously connected to the body.
Now, no matter how metabolic this artificial skin is, it is impossible for it to establish a connection with its body. So how do you make a connection between the two? This has become the number one problem in front of Hou Dalin.
Hou Dalin stayed here for most of the day, and he did countless experiments in his space, all of which ended in failure. A lot of test records and summaries were written, but in the end, he still didn't get a result that allowed him to see the light of day.
The alarm clock rang, Hou Dalin packed everything here, and then took the elevator back to his room.
After taking a shower and pretending to have just woken up, Hou Dalin came out of the room and went to eat with two bodyguards. The two bodyguards who were responsible for protecting Hou Dalin were also blessed, they had never received such an easy task. The target of their protection, the living area is so simple that it is almost impossible to go out every day. In addition to working in the laboratory, the rest of the time is to eat and sleep. At most, sometimes I sleep by myself, and sometimes I sleep with others.
And by Hou Dalin's side, their food treatment is also high. Although it is not as good as Hou Dalin's ability to eat more than a dozen dishes at a meal, their working meal can definitely be regarded as a big meal.
Hou Dalin stayed here for a week, and then returned to his laboratory at Beijing University. With the launch of this new product, his laboratory once again received a donation from the DL Group. And as soon as it was shot, it was 10 million US dollars, and the elders who were eager for funds were red when they saw it.
There are only four or five people in his Hou Dalin's laboratory, including his assistants, how can they spend so much research funds? Should schools intervene? Since the other party is donating, then the money should belong to the school! Since it's a school, shouldn't we take some out of it and let everyone get rid of it?
The leaders of the school were tired of being annoyed by the professors, and finally couldn't resist the pressure and came to discuss with Hou Dalin.
"Headmaster, you're not right. In this cooperation between DL Medical and China, I gave a part of the patent rights to the school, which is jointly held by me and the school. Although the economic power of the school is not too much, how can these shares bring more than 10 million US dollars to our university every year? Why do you still fancy my money? ”
"Teacher Hou, since ancient times, we have not suffered from widowhood but unevenness, and the other party has indeed indicated that this laboratory will be donated to you, and I have no opinion on this. But what I want to say is another angle, Mr. Hou, what you should know is that truth is one aspect, but human affection is another. At present, everyone is generally underfunded, and seeing that you are so rich here, you have some thoughts in your heart, which is inevitable for human nature. ”
"Oh, Headmaster, if you want to say that, then I understand. Are you afraid that someone will be red in the future, so they will wear small shoes for me? Hou Dalin's words were very straightforward, which made the principal a little embarrassed.
But embarrassed means embarrassed, and that's exactly what he means. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are envy and extreme hatred. Hou Dalin's side is so rich, and the others don't even have a scum, and after a long time, whoever can't keep it will have a grudge.
Hou Dalin thought about it and felt that what the principal said was very reasonable, he wanted to live a retired life, and it was not good if he fell into the disputes in the rivers and lakes.
Isn't it money? He is not short of money, and some people are jealous of him, so he will take out the money and divide it. Instead, he discussed with the principal, and he proposed several topics, and then according to the difficulty of each topic, he hung a funding figure under each topic.
When Hou Dalin was choosing a topic, he suddenly felt that he was not using money to buy the intellectual resources of these professors? And it's the other party begging and shouting for acquisition.
These are the past few years, and if it is a few more years, there will be no such good thing. At that time, it will become him holding the check and crying and shouting and begging the other party to accept it.
Hou Dalin carefully analyzed several difficult problems he was currently facing, and divided his difficulties into more than a dozen topics. Then, an amount was hung under each topic, and an open scientific research tender began.
However, there were a lot more topics than he expected, so the previous $20 million seemed a bit stretched. But what kind of person is Hou Dalin, and where is that kind of childish character? Although the US dollar is not much, he is not short of RMB! In the industrial zone of Suzhou and Hangzhou, millions of profits can be generated every day. At this rate of making money, I dare not say that I am rich and surplus when I use it for scientific research, at least it is no problem to support Hou Dalin's interests and hobbies.
As soon as the news broke, the entire academic community was in a sensation. Jingcheng University has a big financier who wants to engage in scientific research contracting! Not only is the full funding provided, but the authorship of the results is not required. What the other party wants is that after the success of scientific research, the other party has all the economic rights, such as patent rights, etc.
Can this be considered a matter for this group of domestic scholars? As long as you can make results, you will be famous, and if you are famous, are you worried that there will be no profit? Not to mention improving the title, that is, to be a consultant for the enterprise in the future, the fee will also be increased by a large margin.
The news spread very quickly, and by the time Hou Dalin's bidding meeting was held, the scene was really chaotic. Even the president of Jingcheng University did not expect that almost two-thirds of the people in the entire conference hall were not teachers and students of their own university, but researchers and professors from various research institutes, universities and universities throughout Beijing.
They are very experienced in grabbing funds. Although Hou Dalin is from Beijing University, he didn't say anything about this activity, but only distributed it to professors within Beijing University! Since it is a contract, then everyone eats by their ability, who has the ability to go to whom, why do you have meat to eat from your Beijing University?
The face of the president of Jingcheng University is dark, you dare to speak out about this crooked reasoning? This money is from our Jingcheng University, of course we have to face the professors of our Jingcheng University? If you're the shameless neighbor next door, forget it, after all, the two have cooperated a lot of times. But what are you doing with these other units that can't beat the eight poles? We only have a few funds for Beijing University, is it possible to give them to you? When you had money, we didn't see you give us points!
In today's scene, Hou Dalin, as the gold owner, has no chance to speak at all. The grand principal cut off Hou Dalin's words twice, because he was afraid that he would not understand the routines of these people and accidentally "say the wrong thing".
So for three whole days, what was supposed to be a simple topic assignment meeting was turned into a debate meeting on the scientific research system in Beijing. The focus of the discussion has also shifted from how to assign topics to who is eligible for allocation.
After all, Jingjing University is also a member of Jingcheng Higher Education University, and in this place, it is as strong as the president of Jingjing University, and it is not possible to do whatever you want. Soon, this incident alarmed the higher-level leaders, and the intervention of the senior leaders also made the scope of this debate infinitely magnified.
After all, the higher the level of leadership, the more colleges and universities he will lead, and his intervention has made other universities that are no longer in the capital feel the opportunity. This kind of meat-grabbing activity, how can you not be proactive? Could it be that Chengdu has reached this era, and it is still limited by geography? That's the sadness of the academic community.
As a result, this controversy over scientific research topics involving 20 million US dollars plus 100 million yuan expanded from Beijing University to the entire Beijing, and then from the scope of Beijing, it soon spread to universities and scientific research institutions across the country.
Many people didn't even know what the topic proposed by Hou Dalin was, so they began to compete hard. Based on past historical experience, you don't have to think about the attitude at this time, this is not only a question of funding, but also a question of status and qualifications.
Whether you can get the project or not, and whether you can make it if you get it, is secondary, but if you are excluded from such activities, it will be unbearable.
Hou Dalin is now hiding in the 1978 building, in the laboratory of Beijing University, and can no longer stay. In recent times, people have always approached him through various channels and told him how much he deserves to get a qualification and get a subject. Hou Dalin sometimes feels funny, so many people come, almost no one asks him what the topics he releases are, but he just emphasizes that he is qualified and his unit is of sufficient level.
Hou Dalin, who was unbearable, made a request to the principal to temporarily avoid the limelight, and the principal immediately agreed. At this time, it is indeed inappropriate to put such a financier in the university, in this way, not only is the work not easy to do, but what if the other party does the job through Hou Dalin? That's not good for everyone.
Hou Dalin is now sitting in the office building here, and suddenly feels that it is really a very happy thing for him to be rich. Not to mention those things in life, just for their own "hobbies", there are so many people who are crowded with their heads and blood. I have to say that having money is really too important.
