Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

After confirming that Yang Rui was the key, Xu Wentao also made serious preparations.

He first invited Zhang Yanling, the head of the biology department, and after repeating the news from Shen Pinghui, Zhang Yanling's face was red, white and yellow.

terrible!

Zhang Yanling was really frightened, and said with gritted teeth: "Old Shen is a bad bastard, thankfully I invited him to dinner a few years ago. Jiekang must have his eyes on him first. He wants a biological laboratory, not a biological research institute." Where? He sold us out."

Xu Wentao also had the same idea, but he didn't react as strongly as Zhang Yanling.

Because doing this is completely useless for him. At least, let Governor Liang see the dedication and hard work of Hedong University.

Not to mention how much Xu Wentao himself can get from it, even for Hedong University, the next time it seeks funding from Hedong Province, its voice will be louder.

Of course, the premise is not to completely sacrifice the biology department.

The prerequisite for the Department of Biology not to be completely sacrificed is to appease Zhang Yanling.

Zhang Yanling is a well-known professor of biology in the country and the director of the provincial laboratory of the Department of Biology of Hedong University. In other words, the reason why the Department of Biology of Hedong University can have a provincial laboratory is because of Zhang Yanling's efforts to apply for it, and the results since the application are also presided over by Zhang Yanling.

It is natural for Zhang Yanling to be angry, so Xu Wentao tried to persuade him: "Old Zhang, don't think too complicated. This is indeed good for your biology department. Indeed, the disadvantages are obvious. Your biology department does experiments and produces results. All will be affected, but we have a good talk with Zeneca and try our best to meet each other's requirements. I think there is still a way. After talking about the disadvantages, I will also talk about some advantages. The advantage is that Zeneca's multinational The attributes of the company, Lao Zhang, think about it, how many biology departments in schools across the country have formed cooperative relationships with multinational companies? None of them, we are the first to eat crabs, we should take advantage of others who don’t know how to eat crabs , Eat the big ones first."

"Cooperation is out of the question." Zhang Yanling was not fooled, and said, "Principal, our biology department only has one key laboratory, and this laboratory can't be used. It will be difficult for our biology department to do research again. Five years... don't talk about it." It's been five years, that is, we will be behind for a year, you said, we worked so hard to catch up, and this time... hey!"

Zhang Yanling's academic achievements and official career foundation all depend on this key laboratory. Without this provincial key laboratory, it would be too difficult to make something.

From Zhang Yanling's point of view,

He is not willing to "change jobs" unless he has to. After all, although it is easy for him to change schools, it is hard work to re-familiarize with the school environment, run a new laboratory, train assistants, accumulate results, and then apply for a provincial laboratory. Not to mention, a waste of time. Now, the country has just started the evaluation of national laboratories. Even if the laboratory of the Department of Biology of Hedong University is not qualified, it is still in front of the new laboratory.

Of course, without this provincial key laboratory, it is the so-called last resort. Zhang Yanling would rather go to another school to rebuild a laboratory than waste a year or two.

Xu Wentao also knew this, and tried his best to persuade Zhang Yanling, just to prevent Zhang Yanling from feeling as a last resort.

He felt that the danger had been said enough, so when Zhang Yanling started to groan, Xu Wentao whispered: "Old Zhang, I have an idea."

"what?"

"Let's build a laboratory and buy some hardware equipment to improve the hardware level of the laboratory, not to mention reaching the level of the provincial laboratory, as close as possible. Of course, it depends on their needs. When the time comes, please Jieli The people in Kang read it, and if they are willing, they can lend this laboratory to them. In this way, the provincial laboratory is still yours, and your biology department can have another good laboratory, which will be used from time to time, etc. You don’t need Zeneca, maybe you can apply to build a new provincial laboratory.” This is a good idea that Comrade Principal thought of all night.

As long as it doesn't occupy your own laboratory, Zhang Yanling also felt a little interesting and said, "Is this okay?"

"Let's try it. If they really can't do it, we'll consider negotiating conditions with them, such as usage time, etc. If it works, wouldn't everyone be happy? Anyway, they borrowed our laboratory, so we can't force it. "The principal said so, thinking: Maybe Zeneca will not come by force, maybe Governor Liang is trying to win Zeneca's favor.

Zhang Yanling asked again: "Where does the cost of buying hardware come from?"

"The school pays a part. I see if Zeneca is willing to pay another part. The rent of 10,000 yuan a year is too little."

"Yes, if they can give some foreign exchange, this problem will be easily solved."

Xu Wentao nodded and said: "I think it can be done by asking them to donate some instruments. All in all, you should also unify your thinking in the biology department. No matter which laboratory is finally selected, this is a good thing. Be proactive and don’t complain.”

If Zhang Yanling's provincial laboratory is finally selected, it means that Zhang Yanling will actively cooperate.

Zhang Yanling nodded with a dark face, he had no other choice but to see what he did.

Meetings in the school were always delayed. Zhang Yanling went back to greet the meeting, but before anyone was notified, the principal's office sent someone over and said, "The representative of Zeneca will be here at noon. The principal asked you to prepare."

"So fast?" Zhang Yanling wanted to say that our department has not yet unified our thinking, but the words stopped.

The young man from the principal's office who came to inform him had a mustache and looked very serious, and said: "Foreigners are very efficient. There will be a car for three people at noon. Lunch will be arranged by the school. Director Zhang Please also go over. After lunch, I will go to the Department of Biology to investigate."

Zhang Yanling looked at his watch: "It's 11 o'clock now."

"Yes."

"You can't tell in advance either. Is that Yang Rui here?"

"Here we come, accompanied by people from Zeneca, and take the chief seat." This person said in quite detail.

"Is that Yang Rui?"

The visitor knew what he meant, nodded and said, "It's Yang Rui, the number one student in the college entrance examination last year."

"Last year, I was a student in a township middle school, and today I am a guest of a multinational company. Do you want our principal to accompany you?" Zhang Yanling clicked his tongue twice, and said, "Chaowei Tianshelang, Mu Dengtianzitang, this Yang Rui, really It's time to catch up."

Zhang Yanling sighed, and asked to cancel the meeting, then put on his coat and walked out.

For such a big event, he dared not delay at all.

It's okay if it goes well this time, but if it doesn't go well, he will be displaced in the next few years. Unlike the principal, if it breaks, he will lose at most one biology department. If it succeeds, he will only get Liang Sheng The president's approval, winning a partner from a multinational company for Hedong University, and finding an additional laboratory for the Department of Biology... Thinking about it carefully, the principal has gained a lot of benefits.

Zhang Yanling shook his head secretly. Otherwise, the headmaster was one level higher than the head of the department, so the benefits would be much more and the losses would be much less.

Thinking about Yang Rui again, he doesn't have to do anything, there are foreign companies to help him run the front and back, and for this he forced a high-level university to jump around. I really don't know how he can have such energy.

Zhang Yanling came to read Yang Rui's thesis yesterday. Although he didn't read all the papers, he felt that Yang Rui's level had not broken through the sky. Not to mention that foreign countries have this level of papers, there are also many domestic ones. He himself has not published any papers on the "News", but there are still a few papers with an impact factor of 4.0 or above. If such a large provincial laboratory cannot even produce such papers, how can it apply? funding.

The first batch of applicants for national-level laboratories is even more powerful. Although China is a third-world country, there are still a lot of academicians who can do it. In terms of biology, they have published in "Cell", "Science" and "Nature" Quite a few people have published papers, and those papers with more than 20 or even 30 impact factors are beyond the reach of people.

However, Yang Rui was recognized by Zeneca not because of his papers with high impact factors published on the Internet, but with several papers with impact factors of 1 to 2, which made Zhang Yanling always feel awkward.

He felt that it was wrong for Jielikang to value Yang Rui so much, and the reason why Jielikang valued Yang Rui was even more wrong.

As an old-school person, Zhang Yanling would never understand the value of technical barriers anyway.

He didn't understand, but Franky and the others knew it very well.

As far as the pharmaceutical or health care product market is concerned, coenzyme q10 with annual sales of 1 billion is a small project that has not received much attention from biological product companies. Those asset-heavy companies pay the most attention to the market of tens of billions of annual sales such as painkillers, cardiovascular drugs, and anticancer drugs.

In the Coenzyme Q10 market, the largest Japanese company only has more than 100 employees and a few researchers.

If it is said that in terms of animal extraction methods, Japanese companies still have accumulated accumulation, in terms of plant extraction methods, Japanese companies have at best obtained access cards. Their technical patents not only cannot prevent Yang Rui's technology from being eroded, but are even faintly threatened by Yang Rui's. Technical barriers are isolated.

Of course, Zeneca is even more of a layman. Although Zeneca is also among the top 20 multinational pharmaceutical companies in the global market, Zeneca has not yet reached the level of Japanese companies in terms of the specific plant extraction method of coenzyme q10.

In Japan, coenzyme q10 is allowed to be sold as a medicine, while Europe and the United States only give coenzyme q10 the qualification as a health medicine, and the investment of the two parties is naturally not the same.

Because of this, Zeneca's initial competition plan was actually to develop more advanced microbial extraction methods or chemical synthesis methods, completely abandoning plant extraction methods and semi-synthetic methods, and naturally avoided numerous technical barriers.

However, brand new technology, where is it so easy to develop, and when it is developed, I don't know what old technologies will be used...

In contrast, it is much easier to please Yang Rui.

...

As a prop, Professor Cang's laboratory was also hacked into by everyone from Zenecom, the Department of Biology, and the headquarters of the school.

Professor Cang, who was doing the experiment, felt dizzy when he saw so many people crowding in. Seeing Zhang Yanling also coming in, he quickly asked, "Old Zhang, what's going on?"

"These people are all from the British company Zeneca. They came to inspect our laboratory environment. Zhang Yanling introduced it to Professor Cang.

Hedong University implements the laboratory responsibility system, and capable professors lead one or more laboratories, and there are also large laboratories with two or more brands.

Professor Cang's ability is not enough, and the equipment in the laboratory is not enough. However, the area of ​​his laboratory is not small. If he finds more students to do research that is not painful or itchy, the number of papers per year can still be mixed. of.

Although he didn't make a name for himself, Professor Cang still cherishes his laboratory. When he heard Zhang Yanling's so-called cooperation, he started to beat his heart, and said with a smile: "My laboratory does not have the qualifications for international cooperation. Look at my laboratory. , is a waste of time."

"The school's laboratories are all newly built, each with its own characteristics, and it can't be said to be a waste of time." Zhang Yanling said, but he didn't think Zeneca would like this laboratory. The total equipment here is only at the level of hundreds of thousands, which is far from the level of provincial laboratories.

Yang Rui whispered something to Franky at this time.

Professor Cang's heart twitched, he felt something was wrong, he comforted himself, and thought silently: No, no, such a big matter, what does it have to do with Yang Rui, he is at most a planner...

Frankie and Yang Rui talked in a low voice, turned around, and muttered with the principal Xu Wentao again.

Xu Wentao's English is also unambiguous, talking and laughing with Franky, after a while, he brought Zhang Yanling over to chat again.

When the three people talked, the voice became louder. Professor Cang's English was not good, so he grabbed Shen Pinghui, the only acquaintance present, and asked, "What are they talking about?"

When Yang Rui came to Hedong University for the first time, Shen Pinghui brought him to Professor Cang's laboratory, and the two were old acquaintances.

Shen Pinghui glanced at Professor Cang sympathetically, and said, "It seems that this laboratory has a relatively large area, and the laboratory is also relatively new. Based on this, it will be merged to form a new laboratory, which is more in line with the needs."

Professor Cang's eyebrows twitched into Sichuan characters: "I want to use my laboratory."

"It's normal for our school's laboratories to be merged and split." Xu Wentao immediately suppressed the sign of resistance with the majesty of the principal when he heard it, and said: "We will add new equipment and personnel to the laboratory to improve the experimental conditions. The scale and level of the laboratory, coupled with the international cooperation with Zeneca, is a good thing."

"How to merge split and international cooperation?"

"Bring the plant laboratory next door together, and the staff will remain the same. Lao Ni and you, one director and one deputy director, will work together to do a good job. At that time, the laboratory here will be divided into two parts. Part of it will be used by Zeneca, and some will be used by us, and public equipment will be placed on the plant side for everyone’s convenience, and Zeneca will also provide some equipment, which will also be placed on the plant side.” Xu Wentao said the result of the discussion, and heaved a sigh of relief It is indeed in the interests of Hedong University that Jielikang and Yang Rui can make such a proposal. Apart from providing a larger venue and this laboratory with equipment worth only a few hundred thousand yuan, Hedong University has almost nothing to pay. However, it may be more valuable equipment and reputation, completely achieving the goal of a win-win situation.

Professor Cang didn't feel the slightest sense of win-win. The botany laboratory next door is an old-fashioned laboratory, and the professor Ni in charge is even a veteran strongman. How do you think, after the merger, the principal director will be Lao Ni, and the deputy director will be him.

From owning one's own laboratory to being a subject group in another laboratory, such downgrading is a huge loss.

Xu Wentao didn't care what Professor Cang thought. Zhang Yanling was a well-known domestic professor and a senior talent who could independently apply for a provincial laboratory. He was young, vigorous, capable and famous. Although Professor Cang is about the same age as Zhang Yanling, in terms of achievements, he is already very old. It is a pity to run away, that is, it is a pity to lose a dollar in the street.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Xu Wentao immediately gave instructions and said: "First make a statistics of the instruments in the two laboratories, and then send people from the logistics department to prepare for the construction, and then notify everyone in the two laboratories. Let's have a small meeting."

"Wait. I have an opinion." Professor Cang raised his hand impatiently.

Xu Wentao frowned for a moment and looked at Zhang Yanling.

Zhang Yanling smiled wryly, he hadn't had time to unify his thoughts, and Professor Cang didn't know how much the headmaster took this matter seriously, and now, he was about to run into an iron plate.
