Xizhaizi township is a pure agricultural township. In addition to the local workshops for burning charcoal and bricks, there are almost no decent industries. Therefore, not to mention the words like us $2 million, 200000 yuan is also a huge sum of money for xizhaizi township.

In the years when Yang Feng was the Secretary of the township party committee, economic construction was not the main line of work, at least not in inland provinces such as Hedong.

However, the importance of funds is needless to say

Yang Feng's experience enabled him to maintain the situation of xizhaizi township. The so-called dining finance is actually eight jars and seven covers. The main income of agricultural townships comes from agriculture, and the characteristic of agricultural production is to concentrate money and spend a lot of money.

How to raise funds to complete the work delivered by the higher authorities before the autumn harvest, and how to make good use of the only policies and resources in hand, are the greatest knowledge for the cadres of xizhaizi township.

In this era, no one is going to think about it. What if I have 2 million.

No one has 2 million, and neither does the township government.

However, the English and translation next door are still pouring in.

"Mr. Yang Rui, Professor darbeco told me that if you insist on putting the laboratory in China, the US government will not be able to bear all the costs, at least in terms of infrastructure construction, such as land use costs and laboratory construction costs, we hope that the Chinese side will bear part of them... Of course, these are not very strict requirements, We just hope that it will be easier to apply for funds... In short, our goal now is to complete the development of the second generation PCR as soon as possible. Under this premise, we will provide as much funds as possible. " The fleshy tobers is very sincere, a pair of trousers I will show you.

Yang Rui's tone is unchanged: "two million dollars is not a lot of money."

He used Chinese, and the translator said it again in English, which made the rhythm of the conversation extremely slow.

In the living room, the cadres with erect ears were dumbfounded.

200 Ten thousand dollars is not enough. What do you want to do?

Tobias is very nervous, even busy way: "two million dollars is only the first batch of funds, mainly for you to improve the laboratory conditions. After the laboratory is completed, the total fund can be increased by another two to three million. "

"Five million in all?"

"Yes."

"Five million is not enough." Yang Rui laughed twice.

Tobias hesitated for a moment and said, "I contacted the professors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and they asked for a budget of $3 million."

"Then why don't you ask them to do it?" Yang Rui chuckled twice.

Tobers quickly apologized and said, "I knew there might be something wrong with their budget, so I didn't agree with them. However, 5 million is indeed the limit of the Ministry of energy. If it is raised further, it will be a special project. "

"The U.S. Department of energy is too stingy."

The rabbits in the next room all yelled in their hearts: it's stingy!

Tobers said: "yes, the main reason is that Congress is too stingy. Professor darbeco is already applying for additional funds, but it also needs us to show some achievements. You know, members of Congress always want to see results..."

"I understand."

"Great..." tobelsdore's face showed relief.

"In that case, I'd better not take DOE's money." But Yang Rui said something that surprised tobers.

Even more surprising than Tobias is the Chinese cadres in the next room.

Yang Feng was the first to stand up and listen to his son say, "Huarui company has a healthy cash flow and can complete the research and development of the second generation PCR by itself."

Adhering to Yang Rui's consistent mind, he is not willing to share any rights and interests of PCR.

But Yang Rui's words make Yang Feng difficult to understand. Yang Feng, who is struggling with everything in the Development Zone, is eager to rush in and say, "you don't want money, I want it.".

Fortunately, he still held back, but the whole face was red and frightening.

Tobers wants to finish the task, but he has to persuade Yang Rui to accept the money.

Two people pushed and one refused. They soon began to use English and communicate with each other at a fast pace, leaving the township cadres in the next room looking at each other.

"College students are really different." The head of the township first spoke to Yang Feng.

With a bitter smile, Yang Feng said, "it's silly to read."

People think so.

The English voice in the next room soon slowed down. After a while, Yang Rui began to use Chinese again: "I'll take you out."The translator was translated as usual.

At the same time, township cadres, including Yang Feng, all stood up and looked at the bedroom door.

Tobers bent his fat waist and stepped back, speaking bird language that people didn't understand.

Yang Rui just shook his head and said in Chinese, "Hua Rui is enough to complete the second generation PCR research independently, but he took your money. It's too troublesome for you to check this and ask that."

"I'm in charge of the inspection. It won't be any trouble," Tobias said

"Inspection is the standard of DOE, can you decide?"

Tobias is not sure.

Yang Feng now understood and nodded his head gently. The most unpleasant thing for Yang Feng, who has been the earth emperor all his life, is to be examined.

His action was noticed by Tobias.

Tobias saw that he was about to be sent out by Yang Rui. He was in a hurry and asked the translator, "this is Yang Rui's home. Is this Yang Rui's father?"

The translator said "yes".

Tobers asked Yang Rui, "can I talk to your father? He's a local government official, isn't he? "

Tobers came out with information.

Yang Rui nodded.

Tobias ran to Yang Feng and shook hands.

The township cadres who originally sat opposite Yang Feng stepped back.

Tobers, a fleshy American, is not particularly strong. However, compared with the cadres in xizhaizi Township, his figure and body size are bigger by one or two circles. The most important thing is that he has never seen a white man before, which makes people feel strange.

Yang Feng was stunned for a moment. He shook hands with tobers with a smile and made a friendly conversation through translation.

After chatting casually about two topics, tobers talked about the importance of the Department of energy and PCR, and, intentionally or unintentionally, hinted that he had the right to sponsor some government projects.

Yang Feng immediately had interest, he did not know the specific situation, first did not say to or not, but asked carefully.

Yang Rui stood on the side with a smile, and his thoughts soon flew out of the room.

After solving president Cha's problem, Yang Rui's road in China is already very spacious.

Now, Professor Cai and Professor Wu Hongbo, who support Yang Rui, can't be said to cover up the sky, but they also have most of the energy of the domestic biological world, which means that Yang Rui can easily apply for a large amount of funds, the amount and requirements of which are beyond the reach of professors of any era.

However, Yang Rui is not willing to apply for such funds himself.

It's like Professor Wu Hongbo won't take these funds at will, and Professor Cai won't spend all the funds of the Department of biology of Peking University. Instead, he appropriated hundreds of thousands of yuan to Yang Rui more than once.

The reason is very simple. Professor Cai and Professor Wu Hongbo are already domestic academic figures.

And the key to becoming a gatekeeper is not how powerful you are, but how powerful you are under the door.

You spend all your money on your own. What's that called.

If Yang Rui keeps on getting domestic funds and funds from Professor Cai and Professor Wu Hongbo, no matter how strong his academic ability is, he will be the disciple of Professor Cai and Professor Wu Hongbo after all. Although there is nothing wrong with him, as far as Yang Rui used to be, let alone a member of the academician level, just a committee level professor, Thank God for being a doorman.

But Yang Rui's goal is more than that.

He has been nominated for the Nobel Prize. If he is not too junior, he should be a scholar now. He can't apply for millions of RMB every day.

Of course, these funds are also needed, but it's better to give your own laboratory than to take it, just like Professor Cai and Professor Wu Hongbo did.

The transfer of funds is only one of the sufficient conditions to become a warlord, while the creation of funds is the necessary condition.

Yang Rui is not willing to use the $5 million quota of tobers in exchange for the rights and interests of PCR.

But it's not true that Yang Rui has no interest in his $5 million.

I'm sorry to let him take all the gifts home.

Seeing that tobers has offered a donation of 100000 US dollars to seduce Comrade Yang Feng, Yang Rui slowly said, "tobers, the Ministry of energy, mainly Mr. darbeco, mainly hopes to make preparations for the human genome project, right?""Yes, the human genome project is a century project..."

"I know, I know. I support the human genome project, but the rights and interests of the second generation PCR can not be transferred to the Ministry of energy... However, in addition to PCR, the human genome project needs to do a lot of projects. If there is financial support, I can also help. " Yang Rui is more cautious. In fact, apart from PCR, which is both academic and commercial, Yang Rui is also interested in pure academic projects without commercial projects.

Of course, you can't pay for it yourself.

Tobers hesitated: "Mr. darbeko hopes to complete the second generation PCR project as soon as possible. If you only do one project..."

"If I only do one project, I might waste more time on other things. Therefore, if the U.S. Department of energy can support several other projects, I can focus my energy and time on the second generation PCR project instead. " Yang Rui speaks in English with the expression of "I'm talking about politics".

Tobias suddenly understood and thought it over.
