Chapter 1031

"Director Mei, director tie, come here, sit down and have a cup of tea." Yang Rui turned a corner of the warehouse into an office area with a group of old tables, chairs and benches to entertain guests.

The guests in the lab are naturally donors.

In his previous style, Yang Rui didn't want to waste his time entertaining investors. How troublesome it was to get in and out... However, it was easy for the genetic engineering laboratory to raise funds, but it made Yang Rui have an interest in drinking tea.

Moreover, the more funds raised, the higher the efficiency of the laboratory. The same is to do experiments, your centrifuge turns faster than others, your PCR is more convenient than others, don't you have to save time? If we can hire more skilled experimenters, the progress of the experiment will be more guaranteed. All of these depend on the huge amount of funds.

The laboratory is not a company with regular income, and the funds raised are all in bursts. The funds raised can not only consider the short-term expenses, but also the long-term expenses. In this case, only when a large amount of funds are raised can we dare to update the equipment and increase the manpower.

Otherwise, once the capital chain breaks and the laboratory is faced with life and death, the most uncomfortable event of cutting down the project will inevitably appear.

Even in the 21st century, there are still few laboratories that dare to invest in scientific research with a billion units. It doesn't mean that if you receive 1 billion yuan this year, you can do scientific research with a billion level investment. In reality, the more huge the investment, the longer the time it will take. Not to mention the human genome project, or the sheep cloning project, if you can't say it well, there will be a little obstacle in the scientific research time of 10 years. I haven't run for 20 years.

For such a long time, I can't even guarantee that I have collected 1 billion yuan this year. I will start a project of 100 million yuan this year, which will last for ten years. The long-term global inflation will make the funding demand rise to 140 million yuan in the fifth year, and the original cost of 100 million dollars will become 170 million in the eighth year, which is equivalent to a half reduction in funding in disguise, If you don't prepare in advance, it's not unfair that the 10-year project will die in the eighth year.

Yang Rui needs to prepare for the genetic engineering laboratory in advance.

First of all, he has little information about genetic engineering. Second, he can invest less time and energy. In this way, he needs to reserve some additional resources for the genetic engineering laboratory in order to make the genetic engineering laboratory survive healthily after 10 or 20 years.

To be fair, genetic engineering laboratories need more resources than ion channel laboratories.

Because the ion channel laboratory has Yang Rui's long-term management and interference, the ability to use resources and transform resources is stronger.

Some people may say that who can take care of 20 years later

Unfortunately, the systematic risk of scientific research lies in this. If a laboratory does not have a life expectancy of 20 years, it has no value at all.

Apart from other things, it will take ten or twenty years for a laboratory to upgrade to be qualified to recruit doctoral students or postdoctoral students. This only shows that this laboratory is at the forefront of related fields, and it is also at the forefront of related fields in the third world.

It takes three years at least, six or seven years at most, and 20 years to train one doctoral student, but it only takes seven generations of doctoral students, with a total number of no more than 20.

In other words, it took 20 years for this laboratory to produce and sell its own products, but it just reached the edge of a first-class laboratory.

If Yang Rui creates a laboratory, he can't even reach the level of a first-class laboratory. Why should he waste his time and resources to play in the entertainment industry.

In any case, the social value of the second-class experimenters in the second-class laboratory is not much different from that of the little stars.

The gold owner is actually a kind of resource.

From the perspective of laboratory managers, those who are willing to donate now should also have a tendency to donate in the future.

In particular, large state-owned groups such as Zhongmu and Qingmu spend millions of dollars every year on their own laboratories, and there are tens of millions of dollars a year, including labor costs and infrastructure costs.

With so much money, compared with the results they have produced, it is really better to build than to buy. Its nature is the same as that of state-owned enterprises' own kindergartens, primary schools and secondary schools. Will the quality of teaching be better? Not necessarily. But the cost is several times as much as its cost, and its core is nothing more than convenience.

When the state-owned enterprises are responsible for their own profits and losses and it is not easy for them to survive, the state-owned enterprises will not be able to bear such "convenience", or willfulness. If Yang Rui's genetic engineering laboratory can seize the opportunity, it will be able to accumulate a large amount of resources.

And "earning foreign exchange cow" is a good opportunity.This kind of concept is not what you want to have. Especially if it is limited to the field of genetic engineering, there are not many profitable projects.

Projects like dolly sheep cloning sound like application-oriented projects. In fact, they are equal to basic research, and it is difficult to find commercial organizations to donate. In fact, when the British made dolly sheep cloning, they kept it a secret. They didn't announce it until they succeeded. And the British government's response is also very fast, the first time to cut the cost of the laboratory.

Yes, it's a reduction rather than an increase, because politicians' fear of human cloning is an amplification of ordinary people's fear. In order to avoid the further deepening of the laboratory, the reduction of funding is almost passed without any response.

From a scientist's point of view, this is meaningless and stupid. In fact, this situation has appeared in scientific research laboratories more than once.

The project is not good enough to cut expenses; The project is not as expected, and the cost is reduced; The project is not as expected by the politicians, and the funds are reduced; The project is done well enough to meet the needs of reducing funds; The project is very good, especially satisfied with the reduction of funds... There are fewer replacement, less changes in the world, less economic crisis

All in all, it is not easy for laboratories to find a stable source of funding, and it is unreliable to rely only on the government or a donor.

Yang Rui pretended to pour tea, but he thought about how to pour cyanide and chemicals into the gold mine.

Director Mei and director tie are still indifferent. They don't look like friends they haven't seen for many years.

Fortunately, we are all people in the scene. After half a minute of embarrassment, the new director Qu chuckled and said, "director Yang, I came here today to try your lunch. I heard that your buffet is better than Wudaokou Roman restaurant."

"It's a cook from the Roman restaurant." Yang Rui said with a smile: "good vision."

The Roman restaurant he mentioned is the buffet jointly owned by Yang Rui and Shi GUI, located above Yang Rui's bowling alley in Wudaokou. Yang Rui needs the help of two or three chefs. Naturally, it's not a problem.

Now, the genetic engineering laboratory with its own funds has been completely separated from the ion channel Laboratory of Peking University. It's better to ask for foreign help than to recruit chefs.

Qu Chang Chang raised his thumb and said, "I guess it will cost a lot of money."

"It's very expensive. Our researcher's daily food standard is temporarily set at 3 yuan, not including the cost of staple food." Yang Rui is not prepared to hide. When he recruited researchers, he used this to attract people. People who are interested can always ask.

Qu Chang Chang took a cold breath and said, "three yuan a day, 90 yuan a month?"

"More than four days a month." It's still a six-day workweek, and it's the same for people all over the country.

"It's still going to cost more than seventy." Qu Chang Chang Chang looked around and said, "we are now on such a small scale. We have to eat three or four hundred in a month, not counting the cost of cooks and other expenses."

"Not really."

"It's better than us." Qu Chang Chang said, raised his hand and said with a smile: "I have no other meaning, just a sigh."

Yang Rui nodded with a smile, glanced at the right side and said, "director Mei had the same problem as you before."

"Yes? Is that right? " Qu Chang Chang looked at director Mei mildly, and felt a little like finding the allies.

Director Mei's mood is not good, and his tone is also cold: "yes, last time I said this to Yang Rui, director Yang said to me, I forgot the original words. It probably means that you can give money wherever you like, and I'm not willing to take it if you don't like it. Director Yang, is that what you mean? "

Qu Chang Chang Chang's expression changed greatly and he also looked at Yang Rui.

"That's not what I said." Yang Rui is very speechless.

"The last time I asked about the progress of the experiment, I replied with almost the same meaning." Director tie added that he was on the same line with director Mei this time.

Qu Changchang looks at Yang Rui again.

Yang Rui shrugged: "they understand wrong."

"What does that mean?" Mr. tie asked.

"Our laboratory is very happy to have donations, but we have no obligation to provide information, let alone accept any requests and controls from donors." Yang Rui sorted out the language and answered like this.

"Money is OK, no nonsense." Director Mei suddenly looked at director Qu with a bit of schadenfreude and said, "when you give money, don't you know?"

"I know." Qu Chang Chang Chang's face was a little green, and he said, "however, I said that the laboratory should save a little in some places. Is that right?""I can't say that." With a long sigh, the railway bureau pointed to itself and director Mei, and said, "on behalf of Qingmu and Zhongmu, we have invested 1.6 million. Do you think we are qualified to say that?"

Yang Rui looked at the forerunner of Qu Chang Chang Chang's outburst and said, "we still pay attention to your opinions and suggestions..."

"It's just that it's never implemented." Director Mei suddenly wanted to laugh.

Director tie laughed directly.

"You guys." Qu Chang stands up in anger. If Yang Rui and director tie are not healthy, he will do it directly.

"What are you talking about? You are so happy." Another two came in from outside the warehouse, stamping their feet as they walked: "the capital is an evil gate. It's still warm in the city. It's not cold outside the city."

"Bai Chu, chairman Qiu." Yang Rui greets them. They are also the gold owners who gave the money two days ago.

Two people smile two greetings, rub hands, said: "don't pestle, you talk about you, we follow behind."

"We talked about the meal, the buffet in the laboratory. I heard it was very good." Qu Chang Chang Chang's face changed very quickly. At this time, I can't see the unhappiness just now.

After listening to them, director Bai immediately remembered the latest legend and asked, "I heard that the buffet of genetic engineering laboratory is of high standard?"

"That's right." Qu Chang Chang nodded.

"How much does it cost this month?" Director Bai asked curiously.

Qu Chang Chang Chang intentionally said: "just a few hundred yuan."

"A few hundred dollars is quite a lot."

"You can't care less." Qu Chang Chang Chang changed his face again, and he was serious.

Director Bai was stunned by what he said and said, "I can't manage it?"

"Director Yang's rule is that you can give money if you like, no matter whether you give it or not, you are not qualified to nag." Qu Chang Chang Chang suddenly felt a sense of revenge. After saying this, the whole person was in a good mood.
