Chapter 452

For Geng Jian, tens of thousands of yuan is too much. In fact, he can't even get 620 yuan. Tens of thousands of yuan can be said to be astronomical.

Even though he is a student of Peking University, Geng Jian has to admit that his dream is that one day, he will become a person like Yang Rui, who can offer tens of thousands of yuan of research funds, buy what he wants, give someone away if he wants, and write a paper if he wants.

Before today, Geng Jian didn't even add the word "initiative" to his fantasy. The researchers he contacted racked their brains and tried their best to win a share of funds.

In fact, the researchers Geng Jian met were not doing their best.

Yang Rui has seen the researcher who really did his best for funding. In order to seal a seal, he ran to three branch offices from south to north, waiting for his seal at the door. It is not clear how many sleepless nights he would spend in the laboratory and how many experimental dogs he would kill.

In China 30 years later, a university professor will spend one-third of his time on applying for projects and funding on average every year. It is no wonder that he will spend two-thirds of his time focusing on this.

Compared with the project application form that will be covered with dozens of chapters in later generations, the project allocation method decided by one word now is simpler than Yang Rui imagined.

Of course, it's easy for him.

After all, the big "cell" can be printed on the mail bag in front of each committee member.

"I urgently approved 50000 yuan of research funding. Now, it's still a little less. I hope to apply for another 600000 yuan, so that Yang Rui can improve his thesis and strive to pass the amendment." Professor Cai shook his chair with a smile, in a very good mood.

In any case, Yang Ruike is a student of biology department, and his work unit "Tang centralized laboratory" also belongs to Biology Department of Peking University. All the honors and military medals are attributed to Yang Rui, the school and Professor Cai.

All of you are members. No matter which department you are, you can only look at Professor Cai with envious eyes.

After a while, a familiar Professor sighed: "let you pick up a bargain. At the beginning, Yang Rui didn't apply to the Department of chemistry, otherwise, he would have published top journals last semester."

"Give us the physics department and publish the top journals in four months." Another professor said casually.

People nearby are not willing to show weakness: "give us the geological department, three months."

The members of the mathematics department who came to the meeting laughed, stretched out a finger and said, "I'll spare you two months."

"Publish papers to top journals in one month? How do you train? "

"Blow it, you don't have to prove it." Mathematics professor ha ha a smile, attracted more laughter.

Professor Cai coughed and said, "don't just brag. Let's get down to business. I want 600000 yuan. If there is no objection, I will approve it."

"600000 is too much. It's impossible." The chemistry department and the biology department have more in common and have more time to compete for funds.

Professor Cai pointed to the middle with a smile and said: "cell ah, it's 600000 to publish a cell. Is that too much? I don't think six million is much. "

"Six million is not much, but your project has been completed. I think 600000 will be enough for the small change." The Department of physics is also a big department that uses funds. It is more important to pay attention to the funds of the school than that of its own family.

Professor Cai gulped two mouthfuls of tea and said, "I'll give you 60000, and you'll change it for me."

"I really changed it. Will you name me?" The physics professors are not to be outdone.

"If you ask Tang Jiji and Yang Rui, I'm not the author." Professor Cai laughed twice, looked at the headmaster and said, "now we need a total of 600000 yuan. Tang central laboratory is empty. Our biology department can provide another 50000 yuan, and the remaining 550000 yuan. I hope the school can make up for it, and we guarantee that the reform will pass."

"Make sure the minor reform is passed?" The principal asked for confirmation.

The representative member of the mathematics department said in advance: "do you dare to guarantee that? Small change is relatively simple, but guarantee to pass? How can you guarantee that? Is it possible to have an undercover agent in a periodical

"I can at least be sure that 600000 yuan is more guaranteed than 50000 yuan for research. Moreover, Yang Rui's research has always been provided by Hong Kong Huarui company and Richard laboratory. The university has not provided any research funds. Now it provides 550000 yuan to get back a cell paper. It's not a loss. " Professor Cai doesn't make a set of swearing, but what he says is more convincing than swearing.

The principal nodded slightly.

"You're not really thinking about it." The professor of physics moved his chair and said: "we are applying for several projects, but they are all stuck because of funding problems.""Who are we? Can the project you applied for be published in cell, nature or science?" Professor Cai made a great effort to ridicule. The project funds of schools are usually used by scholars who can't apply for national funds or provincial and ministerial funds. Although it doesn't mean that research that can't apply for national funds or provincial and ministerial funds is not good, such research is naturally more difficult to be published in top journals in terms of proportion.

In fact, as far as the current situation in China is concerned, let alone the top foreign journals, it is almost certain that they will be listed in the middle class journals and won the national fund. Yang Rui is one of the exceptions. He is still a student. He is too young, has no accumulation, and is too fast to apply for the national fund. What Professor Cai is doing now is actually to compensate Yang Rui.

He himself is a member of the academic department, which is more difficult than later academicians. Just look at Yang Rui's paper and the opinions given by the reviewers, you can almost get the funds you need. As far as the current situation is concerned, let alone 600000, 600000 may not be needed.

However, there are too many uses of research funds. In other words, in the process of research, the use of money is too great. According to the current domestic mechanism, a scholar can only get a lot of funds when he makes achievements, which is the current situation of Yang Rui.

According to Professor Cai's thinking, if we don't help Yang Rui to get funds now, it will be difficult for him to get funds again when he is working on the next project. The representatives who compete for funds will still repeat today's words, but Yang Rui's competitiveness will be even weaker.

Because no one can guarantee that his next paper will be published in cell, and Yang Rui is almost sure that he can.

This makes it more sensible to invest in Yang Rui now.

At the beginning of the project, he didn't invest in Yang Rui. On the contrary, because of vice president Pang, he subsidized Yang Rui's competitor Richard. This made Professor Cai feel guilty and helped Yang Rui get 600000 yuan, which was not a small compensation.

It may not be enough to buy equipment in US dollars, but it is more than enough to maintain the laboratory, do some experiments, and even raise a few experimental dogs.

In the Department of biology of Peking University, the laboratory that can get 600000 yuan a year is at least the level of an independent laboratory.

Professor Cai can't give Yang Rui the name first, but as far as the research itself is concerned, funding is the king.

The reason for Professor Cai's preparation really moved the president.

After a minute or so of thinking, the headmaster pushed forward, motioned to others to stop the discussion, and then said: "the funds of the school are really tight, not only Peking University, but also Tsinghua University and the National People's Congress. However, I think it is the same for Tsinghua University and the National People's Congress to make the same choice. Whether it's 550000, 600000, or 1.6 million, it's necessary to guarantee a cell paper. "

The representative professor of physics department is quite depressed, but he can only express his understanding. In fact, the principal made it very clear.

The Department of physics applies for funds from graduate students, doctoral students and junior lecturers who are difficult to obtain funds outside the school. In short, advanced experimental dogs and dogs need to train their skills and knowledge through the funds provided by the school. At this time, the school funds are equal to angel investment.

In contrast, Yang Rui is actually younger and more difficult to apply for funds outside the school. He only gets money from the school when the project is almost completed. If the school doesn't give it again, it's hard to say.

As for how many times a salary 600000 is, none of the people present cared.

This is "cell". You can't change it!
