Chapter 621

Yang Rui first went to the New York Herald to receive an exclusive interview with Katie, a female journalist.

An academic should establish an academic image in front of scholars and a public image in front of the public. Researchers like Yang Rui, in particular, should pay more attention to the public image.

The so-called researcher like Yang Rui is the person in charge of the laboratory. The person in charge of the laboratory needs change, and where does the money come from? Although scholars hold some money in their hands, more money should be obtained from the public. For scholars, including the government, it belongs to the public.

Yang Rui got a total of two interviews. Although they were all from ordinary New York newspapers, they were not easy.

But for his excellent performance in his speech, he would not have got these two opportunities.

In order to show solemnity, Yang Rui put on his own suit.

Suits are made by foreign tailors in China, just like Panama tailors in Panama and Britain tailors in Beijing. The most important thing is that Yang Rui, who used to have money, can still afford high-end fabrics.

In the fashion capital of New York, Katie praised: "beautiful suit."

Yesterday, she was the most diligent female reporter who looked at Yang Rui. Today, when she was alone, she carefully examined Yang Rui with great interest.

Yang ruihun doesn't care. He drinks a cup of coffee casually and looks at the people around him with a relaxed expression.

Compared with the domestic atmosphere, Yang Rui was more comfortable in the United States in the 1980s, especially in New York, which is the most international city in the United States. The relationship between people is very cold, but there will never be an enthusiastic aunt from the neighborhood committee to take care of such things as long hair and short pants.

Katie admiringly scanned Yang Rui, but then said, "your suit is much better than yesterday's, what's the reason? Is it to be consistent with others? "

"This is the beginning of the interview?" Yang Rui put down his coffee cup in surprise.

Katie nodded with a smile, took out a tape recorder, put on a small tape, and said, "do you mind if I record?"

"Today's suit is my own, yesterday's suit is a uniform suit made in China," Yang Rui said

"The suits made by the Chinese government and sent to you?" Katie reconfirmed that, it seems, the focus of her interview is on the particularity of the Chinese government.

Yang Rui smiles in his heart. Katie has Katie's ideas. He also has his own ideas. It depends on whose idea is more attractive.

However, at the moment of 84 years, Sino US relations are in the honeymoon period. Americans are extremely friendly to the Chinese people. Not to mention the common enemy of the counterattack against Vietnam and the reform and opening up, it is the Los Angeles Olympic Games that just ended a month ago. China sent a large delegation to participate in the games under the general boycott of the Warsaw Pact countries, And won countless "international friendships.".

Because of this atmosphere, Yang Rui did not rush to refute, just said with a smile: "the wages of Chinese people are generally not high, and suits are also a kind of welfare."

"But you can afford expensive suits. Why?"

"Because my job is different from other members of the delegation. I am still studying in University, so I have no formal job. So I work part-time to help Jericho company in the UK improve their coenzyme Q10 production system..." Yang Rui talks about it. Listening to Katie's eyes, she only feels that she has got rich materials today.

After carefully inquiring about the details of the cooperation between Yang Rui and Jielikang, Yang Rui told Katie most of the information except Huarui company, which made the female reporter more praise: "so, just one year in University, as a freshman, 20-year-old Yang Rui, you have made money that ordinary Chinese people can't make in their whole life?"

"From the perspective of 84 years, that's true. But you also need to see that since I made so much money in 84 years, and the state allowed me to make so much money, it shows that China's reform has really changed the lives of Chinese people. I think that within 20 years, China's income will change dramatically, The money I'm making now won't stand out any more. " Yang Rui praised the reform and opening up very politically and correctly.

Today, those who can boast to the United States about my reform and opening up are all good Chinese colleagues.

Because of Yang Rui's eye-catching experience, Katie made a serious record.

After finishing the work, Katie obviously relaxed, drank some coffee and said with a smile, "well, let me ask you one last question. How did you think of your invention of PCR? I consulted several experts, and they all said that the design of your PCR is very clever... "Katie asked this question as a routine, and did not expect Yang Rui to give a good answer.

However, Yang Rui has prepared for this problem for a long time.

He unconsciously sat upright, relaxed a little, and then seriously replied: "it's not so clever as simple and lucky."

"Why do you say that?" Katie was a little bit interested. Americans like to be simple and lucky. If a strong and handsome young man doesn't like reading, he will become a millionaire or get a medal on a whim, that is the most desirable American dream.

Facing the American mass media, Yang Rui didn't talk about the difficulties, complications, entanglements and risks of real PCR. He followed the American hobby and jokingly said, "the experts you asked, when they said the PCR design was very clever, they were actually saying, why didn't I think of it!"

Katie a Leng, ha of smile, and write this sentence in the book. Even though there was a tape recorder, she wanted to mark it.

With a smile, Yang Rui said: "the principle of PCR is not difficult, but it needs a little" Epiphany "to do it."

Katie quickly understood the concept of epiphany. Many Hollywood stars believe in Buddhism, and reporters are not knowledgeable, at least knowledgeable.

Yang Rui tells a story

"The earliest idea of PCR was in 1983. At that time, I was designing coenzyme Q10 for Jericho, and I got a small laboratory. The lab is in my school, called Xibao town middle school. Xibao town belongs to Hedong province. There are many mountains around it, and my school is no exception. It is located in the middle of the mountain. Every time I go to school, I have to climb a big slope. I'm tired of climbing. "

"However, the scenery is very good after climbing the slope. There are many terraces and winding roads in my hometown. The roads are very narrow, but very long, and very curved, just like DNA. "

"At that time, it was the time when I was most interested in genes, and all kinds of information about DNA was beating in my mind. I think that DNA is just like these winding mountain roads, and mountain roads, mountain roads, actually have similarities. "

Yang Rui stopped for a moment, let the female reporter digest for a moment, and continued: "every mountain road has its own characteristics, but in fact, every mountain road has some places that are the same, such as a bend, a straight road, basically similar. If the upper half of one mountain road and the upper half of another mountain road are exchanged in this same place, You don't feel abrupt. "

The female reporter understood this and said in surprise: "it's similar to the principle of PCR."

"That's right. PCR uses an endonuclease to take a piece of DNA and then use primers to copy it. It's like a winding mountain road." Yang Rui is very satisfied with the effect of his story.

It's not easy to be a scientist. The better a scientist is, the more popular stories he needs to understand. This is true for Chinese people, and so is it for foreigners.

For example, Newton, who is familiar to people, will be connected with apple in an instant. But in addition to the Newton Leibniz equation taught in the advanced mathematics class of University, how many people will remember Leibniz?

Einstein has a disheveled hair, almost become a synonym for mad scientists“ "Crazy scientist" is not a bad thing. In the eyes of investors, crazy scientist may be synonymous with success.

In the early days of the founding of the people's Republic of China, the most famous scientists were Qian Xuesen, the father of missiles, Qian Sanqiang, the father of atomic bombs, and Qian Weichang, the father of mechanics. Among the three Qian, Qian Xuesen is the most famous. It must be wrong to say that missiles are more important than atomic bombs or mechanics. In the final analysis, the story of "one Qian Xuesen is the top five Division" is more useful. In contrast, the names of Qian Sanqiang and Qian Weichang are far from familiar. On the other hand, if Premier Zhou hadn't given the name of "three money", like Qian Weichang, the father of mechanics, it would have been more unknown. In the age when most people's education level was lower than that of high school, a few people knew what mechanics meant.

Some scientists' stories come from themselves and some from media processing.

Yang Rui doesn't care about fame, but now he really needs the mass media to prove his achievements.

83 It's very beneficial for Yang Rui to think of the results of PCR in. Although this can't be regarded as evidence, it also has a subtle effect. If, as in previous lives, unfortunately, a lawsuit is brought, Yang Rui hopes that members of the jury have heard his story.

Katie liked stories better than Yang Rui, and immediately followed Yang Rui's way of thinking and asked, "in other words, when you were in high school, you had the idea of PCR?"

"Right."

"Did you start the experiment then?" Katie didn't doubt Yang Rui's statement, because Yang Rui foreshadowed his cooperation with Jericho. The most important thing is that the money he earned from Jericho shows his value.Since Yang Rui was able to make money from multinational companies in high school, there is no reason why he couldn't come up with a brilliant idea.

Relying on sufficient preparation, Yang Rui made the interview follow his own direction, and said, "it's very interesting to talk about this idea, but I didn't realize the value of this idea at that time."

"Oh? Why? "

Yang Rui shook his head and said with a smile: "at that time, I thought that someone must have come up with a similar idea, which might be better than my idea, and then they must have made achievements. I just didn't find it. You know, I was in middle school at that time, and I didn't have many conditions to search for information. In addition, I had to spend a lot of time on coenzyme Q10 and other aspects, and the college entrance examination was also an urgent problem. "

"Sounds busy."

"Indeed. After I entered university, I picked up the idea of doing PCR again. Of course, at that time, my idea was relatively perfect. Especially after I did the research on potassium ion channel, I had a deeper understanding of PCR and realized its importance. So I stepped up to do it. Counting the time, I did the theme part of PCR for two months, Half of the time is before getting familiar with the experimental process. "

How does Yang Rui dream? How do you say the American dream? It is to make ordinary people can afford it. If you tell the American public that PCR requires at least three or five years of systematic training, the help of several assistants, and millions of dollars worth of capital reserves. If Americans don't listen to the following, this story will be finished.

The people who dominate the world are always a little affected.

While listening to Yang Rui's words, Katie straightened out the story in her mind: Yang Rui, a teenager from a remote town in China, had a dream in high school. This dream came from what he saw and heard on his way to school every day... He didn't realize the importance of his ideas until he entered the University. It took Yang Rui two months to complete his idea, And in the United States "international genetics conference" on a blockbuster, the first day of sales exceeded 300000 U.S. dollars.

The final version of Katie's story will have the word PCR, but when she plans the story, she doesn't think about what PCR is at all.

The story is completely in line with the thinking of Americans. Katie trembles with happiness.

However, what about Yang Rui's preparation.

He continued with a smile: "in fact, up to now, I doubt why no one has done this research. As I said, it's a very simple research. Maybe it's so simple that people either think someone has done it or think it's impossible to do it. I think that if I don't do it, maybe someone will do it in a few years, but it's just that maybe, maybe, someone will discover the secret ten years later. I'm a lucky man, anyway

"Very lucky." Katie's eyelashes began to tremble. She said with a smile, "American biologists must regret that they have climbed too little."

"Maybe." Yang Rui thought: if PCR really won the Nobel Prize, it would be more than regret. At that time, many people were jealous and crazy.

The interview is over. Katie left Yang Rui's contact information and took the initiative to send him out.

When Yang Rui was about to get on the bus, Katie suddenly thought of a message and said, "Yang Rui, your technology has been sold to garnica company. Is that right?"

"When?" Yang Rui closed the door and signaled the taxi driver to leave.

Katie quickly opened her notebook and said, "don't you know about it? Garnica will hold a press conference at 10:30 tomorrow morning to announce that it has reached an intentional contract with the Chinese government.... "

She read it again and looked at Yang Rui.

"It's just a contract of intent. Are you sure?"

"Sure."

Yang Rui breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "it's just an intentional contract. PCR technology will not be sold directly."

"Are you sure the Chinese government won't sell it either?"

"PCR technology does not belong to the Chinese government." Yang Rui laughed and said, "PCR technology belongs to Hong Kong Huarui company. If you want to buy this technology, you must contact Hong Kong Huarui company."

Katie's eyes brightened again and asked, "can I quote you in the article?"

"Of course, I will inform Hong Kong Huarui company and ask their lawyers to issue documents to you. Well... Send another lawyer's letter to garnica. " Yang Rui's expression was relaxed, and he didn't take it as a serious matter.

If an intentional contract can sell the things of Hong Kong companies, then there is no need for China to empty its mind to earn foreign exchange, just wholesale the intentional contract.

The nature of the news conference and the announcement of the intentional contract held by the company is similar to that of Yang Rui's exclusive interview. They all fight for the initiative by public opinion, but the company has found the wrong person this time.Yang Rui calls a taxi again to leave. When he arrives at the hotel, he calls Li Zhangzhen and asks his company's lawyer to contact the lawyer in the United States. After a fax, he leaves the lawyer's letter to the garnica company.

Yang Rui doesn't care which clerk of the ganica company will have bad luck.
