Chapter 512

Now it has been several years since the reform and opening up, and the scientific research institutes in Beijing have experienced some things.

We all have a concept of what kind of business tactics Coca Cola, a multinational enterprise, has, or what kind of habits scholars like to see and hear.

In short, any foreign enterprise that is qualified to enter China is not stingy in terms of money.

These food experts and professors, if not from coca cola, at least from COFCO.

Of course, Coca Cola is better than Coca Cola.

"I can't see that Yang Rui is so young and powerful." Out of the meeting room, Chang Shihui laughs at himself with some other meaning.

My friends understood instantly and then said with a smile, "you can't do so many things even if you're not strong. You can count the projects he did, and you don't know how much money it will cost..."

"A million is not enough." Chang Shihui has already calculated. It's not that he can't figure out the exact answer. He can't imagine more.

Nowadays, the research institutes of state-owned enterprises have advantages in welfare treatment, because the state-owned enterprises with research institutes are all big state-owned enterprises, such as COFCO group. The laid-off tide in the 1980s was not affected, and they operated as usual in the 1990s. After 2000, their real estate companies will be able to compete in the country.

However, the research scope of specialized state-owned enterprises is narrow after all, and there are fewer willing to give experimental funds. In this respect, the research institutes of state-owned enterprises are not as good as ordinary research institutes and university research institutes.

Chang Shihui can't be unique in his own unit. When he comes out to compare funds with projects, he naturally falls behind. From the perspective of the 1980s, he may have less than one million yuan of experimental funds in his whole life.

Of course, his achievements in this life may not be as good as a cell thesis.

As a result, Chang Shihui is unwilling to count up to one million.

His colleagues who came with him had never seen more than 200000 yuan of Funds - it was the truth of the universe that the food producers were poorer than the biological producers. "I heard that Yang Rui had a good relationship with Jericho in Britain. Didn't Sinopharm give him 200000 yuan of funds? It's said that it's also because of jerichon. "

"Now, his relationship with Coca Cola is better." Chang Shihui is not without emotion.

People in the same trade said, "young people today know what it is to hold a foreigner's thigh."

Chang Shihui smiles, glances to the side, gives him a quick nudge, and says, "look at what you say, it's going to attract foreign investment now. Ask him if he wants to hold his thigh? It's a skill to get involved with foreigners. "

In this group, half of them hold foreigners' thighs, and the other half want to hold them, but they haven't yet. If Chang Shihui doesn't make up for this, his colleagues don't know how many people to offend.

The latter's eyes turned, and he knew that he was in trouble. He coughed twice in a low voice and stopped talking.

"Let's have a rest here and have a taste of the snacks produced by Coca Cola. Of course, these products are not produced in China at present and can only be imported for the time being." Xiao manager said let people will vote colorful snacks to the hands of individuals.

Two dollars per person, no more, no less.

The scholars present here are talking about it with a glance at the snacks on the table at most, which seems disdainful.

"Let's have a rest first." Manager Xiao smiles and goes out.

"Bang"

The door closed, and the atmosphere in the room seemed to become lively.

Chang Shihui put all the snacks into his pocket, leaving only a piece of sugar. He opened the bag and slowly held it. He couldn't help thinking: Yang Rui, this time, didn't know how many bags of sugar he would take back.

In the conference room, Yang Rui is also full of joy waiting for Coca Cola's people to offer.

Blackmail multinational companies, ah, his tutors used to drool when they talked about this kind of thing. However, it is useless. No matter what time it is, only scholars at the top of the pyramid can blackmail companies at the top of the pyramid.

In terms of the school Yang Rui went to and the geographical location, it was really difficult for him to blackmail multinational companies. There were few successful people.

Now, Yang Rui is quite happy to think that he has the qualification to let Coca Cola speak. He has a sense of achievement that can get rid of the shadow of the past.

The sum of shadow areas in Mr. Sherwood's and Mr. Gibson's hearts is as many as 8 units, that is 2 times 2, plus 2 times 2 area. They make eye contact for a moment, and Sherwood says, "Mr. Yang Rui, your experimental question is very valuable. We would like to invite you to cooperate with Coca Cola to study this problem in depth.""How to study?" Yang Rui's face is full of smile. In his heart, there is an obscene thousand handed Avalokitesvara. He rubs his hands and shouts: ask for a price, ask for a price!

Sherwood once again confirmed to Gibson with his eyes and said, "we are willing to pay you for the project research. How about a tentative amount of $5000?"

This figure is 2% of the $2000 budget when Sherwood came in. Five times, equivalent to about three months' income of the average American family. According to the U.S. Department of labor's CPI, it is roughly equivalent to $11484 in 2015.

By American standards, it's not too much, but by Chinese standards, 5000 dollars is really too much. It's not really giving you research funding, it's just a bribe.

If the same money is given to officials, I don't know how much it will cost.

Just like the way Americans spend in Vietnam and Myanmar, Sherwood believes that 5000 yuan of "US dollars" is enough to make Chinese Yang Rui kneel on one knee.

Change a researcher, perhaps really kneel down on one knee. If you don't take $5000, you will lose it. If you are brave enough, you won't be bothered. If you are timid enough, you can change 20000 yuan into account according to the foreign exchange license. The extra 30000 yuan is a reasonable and legal income. It's a simple way to launder money.

If the poor and lower middle peasants saw it, they would not know how much indignation and resentment it would cause.

However, Yang Rui is inevitably disappointed.

In the story of extorting multinational companies that he has heard, the unit of funds is at least ten thousand. If not, it is one million. What is the ghost of a thousand units?

5000 Dollars? For Yang Rui, we can't say less, but it's far from what he expected.

Yang Rui even thinks that Coca Cola looks down on people.

Take a look at other people's Jericho. There are hundreds of thousands of dollars in dividends. There is no arrears in one day. What a good person.

Such a contrast, Yang Rui's mood is in the state of roller coaster fall.

"Do you have any requirements for the project you want to study?" Yang Rui's voice is as cold as Avalokitesvara.

"There's no special requirement. Food, biology, everything is OK." Sherwood did not like the answer.

Yang Rui's thousand handed Avalokitesvara sacrificed the grindstone and said, "then we can do a set of human experiments for teenagers."

"What?"

"Taking mice as the research object is really easy to produce such and such experimental errors. In fact, there are so many young people drinking carbonated drinks now that we can conduct scientific investigation and research, and directly carry out a long-term project to understand the impact of carbonated drinks on teenagers." Yang Rui really didn't scare them. Such research has been carried out by many later research institutions, such as Harvard University and other established research institutions, and the reports have appeared frequently in the news all over the world.

Sherwood was really frightened. His white face turned even whiter. He said, "wait a minute. Is it legal to use teenagers to do human experiments?"

Yang Rui shrugged his shoulders and said: "human experiment is a general term. You mean experiments in a narrow sense... In fact, this kind of experiment is totally different from medical experiments. We don't need to make requirements for teenagers to drink carbonated drinks. We just need to select a certain number of teenagers, such as 5000 teenagers, and then we do regular physical examination and follow-up visits for them, Record their physiological indicators, record how much carbonated drinks they take in every day, and analyze these data after a period of time. The selected teenagers will not change because of our research. Of course, we need to seek the consent of the teenagers themselves and their parents. "

If there is no problem with carbonated drinks, there will be no problem with such experiments. However, it is 1984 now, and Coca Cola has no sense of security inside for a long time.

From Sherwood's point of view, even if Coca Cola is good for physical and mental health, they do not want such follow-up research to take place in their own territory.

Gibson said with a fluke: "the cost of such an experiment is too high. I'm afraid we can't afford it. You know, our rights are limited... Besides, in China, I'm afraid it's very difficult to find suitable subjects."

"We don't have to experiment in China. Coca Cola is sold all over the world, and the people who drink carbonated drinks are all over the world. Well... It happened that I cooperated with a professor of Tokyo University in Japan. Maybe we can discuss this project. In addition, the British may also be interested in... "

Gibson and Sherwood's scruples trembled.

Gibson licked his lips and said, "Mr. Yang Rui, Japan and the UK are both countries with high global consumption. To do follow-up research in these two places, on average, each student needs at least $20 a year, and 5000 people are $100000."The implication is that he doesn't believe Yang Rui can come up with $100000.

Yang Rui also naturally nodded and said: "there are other related costs that have not been calculated. In this case, it is really a problem..."

Gibson and Sherwood's mouth slightly tilted, is the price to be asked?

However, Yang Rui seemed to really think about it for a while, but said: "maybe we can only reduce the scale. In the first phase, in a country, we choose 2000 students to do an 8-month follow-up survey. In this way, 50000 US dollars should be enough. In my laboratory, there is just such a sum of money left."

Gibson and Sherwood are desperate.

For multinational companies, rich researchers and rich lawyers can not be provoked.

A lawyer with insufficient funds sounds like a lawyer, but any multinational company has the ability to kill you with countless documents and procrastination strategies without looking at the evidence.

A researcher who has no money, even if he is a scientist, is at most like a reporter. He writes a few articles without any pain, which will not hurt the multinational companies. However, once the researchers have money, the attack on multinational companies is like a wave turning into a tsunami. Especially in the field of food and biology, such as DuPont, they have to fall on the formula of non stick pot paint. They are not powerful laboratories, so it is difficult to fight and win with such companies.

Sherwood and Gibson don't know if the experiment Yang Rui said will succeed, but just listening to it is enough to scare people.

"Mr. Yang Rui, I can prepare 12000 US dollars to fund your research. If you are willing to wait a little longer, we may have additional surprises." Sherwood showed his utmost sincerity, and he could grant 12000 dollars at most.

Yang Rui shook his head regretfully and said, "I didn't expect Coca Cola to be so poor."

Sherwood blushed and said, "we'll ask for instructions from our superiors."

Yang Rui didn't know that two years later, just for $200000 in advertising expenses, CCTV put Coca Cola on the top of the news, thus melting Coca Cola's doubts in China.

For an organization like CCTV, 200000 US dollars is a sky high price, and Sherwood's 12000 US dollars is really very high.

It's a pity that Yang Rui's living money is far beyond 12000 US dollars.

After thinking about it for a moment, Yang Rui patted Sherwood and Gibson on the shoulder and said: "twelve thousand dollars is not necessary. Since Coca Cola's funds are limited, we don't need to donate my laboratory for the time being. We'll see you later."

Sherwood and Gibson watched Yang Rui leave and wanted to press Yang Rui to the ground more than once.

For a long time, Sherwood asked, "what is Yang Rui's final opinion?"

"I don't know." Gibson's eyes are dazed. Today's conversation is too informative.
