Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

"It's not really famous, it's just a few newspaper reports. I'm not familiar with Professor Zhang and Mr. Fu. Professor Tang and Professor Wang, you have been published in many newspapers. I remember that you have also been on TV." Yang Rui hurried Time to be humble.

"We are different from you. You look at the position of the newspaper and the content of the article. You are the social edition. The sensation and topicality caused by us old guys are not comparable." Tang Ji continued. I muttered: "Age is a treasure. I was already in my 40s when I first appeared in the central media newspaper. At that time, I was called young and handsome."

Wang Yong laughed haha, and said: "The environment is much better now. At that time, when we wrote an article, we first had to go through several levels of comparison. It is not like it is now. Good is good, and bad is not good." it is good."

"I have been honored by Peking University. If it weren't for the gimmick of being a freshman at Peking University, I guess other media would not have published it." Yang Rui continued to be modest, being a quiet scholar, or in other words, being regarded as a scholar as a student , is still very difficult.

Tang Zhong laughed and said, "It's a good time to apply for the project, don't waste your reputation."

"What kind of fame is this?" Yang Rui smiled.

Wang Yong patted Yang Rui and said, "Old Tang is right, he knows this best."

Tang Zhong didn't care at all, and said calmly: "This is called taking advantage of the situation. Didn't you just say that you should report to the school leaders first. For example, Professor Cai, the director of our department, is very optimistic about you, Richard. The funding of De's laboratory was reduced, which was requested by Professor Cai. If you are free, just give him a call. In addition, while everyone remembers, you can apply for a project based on your research on potassium channels. I have applied for a school-level program before, but now I am applying for a provincial-level program, which is not too high."

"Then I will apply in the name of Professor Tang's laboratory." Yang Rui also thinks it is good. He does not have an official laboratory under his name, but as a group in Tang's concentrated laboratory, the authority is still very free.

It is also beneficial for Tang's selection of national laboratories to bear the name of Tang's concentrated laboratory. Conversely speaking, if the Tang Centralized Laboratory becomes the first batch of national laboratories, the status of the following groups will also be improved, and it will be easier for Yang Rui to go out to set up a separate laboratory in the future, so it can be said that It is a good thing that complements each other.

Of course, in order to accomplish such a good thing, one has to keep making new achievements. Also in the group under the Tang Concentration Laboratory, Yang Rui's achievements are the most prominent, which also makes his status implicitly improved.

Tang concentrated on explaining the essentials of the application to Yang Rui in detail, and the other three also helped to introduce a few sentences.

Applying for projects in the 1980s was not as troublesome as later generations,

It takes dozens of chapters to come out, but it is not so easy, and the project is very random, and the relationship is also very important. If no one brings it in, it may be even more difficult.

In fact, because the total funding is small, it is difficult to apply for a project worth more than 10,000 yuan even if someone brings it in.

If it weren't for the newspaper reports, even if a student like Yang Rui wrote a thesis, he would still have the opportunity to be ranked by seniority.

After 20 or 30 years, celebrities can pop up on the Internet every day, but that is actually limited, for example, limited to the online audience, limited to the younger age group, limited to the entertainment itself...

Newspapers in the 1980s were different, especially national-level newspapers such as Guangming Daily, which were authoritative in themselves, placed in the army, and received such positive reports, they directly awarded awards for meritorious service. In other words, 80 The newspapers of the era carry political attributes.

And living in this era, it is impossible to be divorced from politics. Even if a researcher gains prestige and political influence, there are many benefits. High-prestige contestants get more funds and are more likely to win awards, so it is easier to compete for projects, big projects More funds, easier awards, will soon snowball.

A few people were talking, and they ate a meal slowly. The students next to them ate and didn't talk, but they quickly ate the buffet until they were full.

The students all looked aside eagerly, hoping that they would finish their chat soon so that they could walk around and digest their food.

However, after Tang Zhong and others finished talking about the project application, they were still very talkative.

Teacher Fu even opened up a new topic: "Yang Rui, why didn't you publish such a good paper in a journal? It's a pity to think about it."

There are advantages and disadvantages to presenting excellent papers to international conferences. The advantage is that he became famous all over the world in one fell swoop. The paper that year was also published at the top conference held by Cold Spring Laboratory.

However, the good and bad papers of international conferences are mixed, and it doesn't sound as good as being published in a certain journal.

Yang Rui can't say that my future papers will only be better, so he said: "I think the opportunity is rare, and it happens that the paper on the potassium channel has produced results. In addition, I sent the part on the molecular mechanism, and it should be published. .”

"Which periodical agency did you send it to?" Tang concentrated and asked with concern.

Yang Rui suddenly felt a little shy, and said: "If you can publish it, let's talk about it. If you can't publish it, it will only make people laugh."

"Isn't it sent to?"

"I want to try other journals." If it is a full set of papers on potassium channels, it is relatively simple to publish, but now it is only the part of molecular analysis, which is somewhat probabilistic. Of course, journals like s are probabilistic, which is the difference in probability. After all, it is a journal for all natural sciences, and its competitors are not limited to biology.

Teacher Fu praised: "As expected of a young man, he is aggressive and enterprising."

"If you can publish it, you will be aggressive. Otherwise, you will be arrogant." Yang Rui continued to be humble, and the seniors behind him were envious. Who doesn't want to be humble...

Tang Zhong and the others thought it was normal, and they didn't force the question, and quickly continued the topic.

After a meal in the afternoon, Mr. Fu started to prepare for the report, and all the people walked out of the restaurant feeling their bellies.

Yang Rui took the thesis he was going to give a speech, and sat in the small lecture hall to read it by himself, adding to his popularity.

The person who was watching entered the state, and one person sat beside him with a "boom".

"Huh, Director Hai?" Yang Rui squinted his eyes and recognized Director Hai of the Chinese Medicine Foreign Trade.

"Student Yang Rui, long time no see." Chief Hai looked like a secret agent, wearing a peaked cap and bowing his head.

"Didn't you just meet last year?" Yang Rui laughed for a moment, and said, "I haven't thanked TCM Foreign Trade for the invitation yet. Thank you Director Hai for giving me such an opportunity."

"You also gave Chinese medicine foreign trade opportunities. Your performance yesterday was really eye-catching, and Guangming Daily reported it. This invitation letter is given to you, as it should be."

"Thank you anyway. Do you also read Guangming Daily?"

"Look at what you said. We sit in the office and drink tea and read newspapers every day. How can we not read Guangming Daily?" Director Hai joked.

"Hey, just holding an international meeting is exhausting enough, where do you have time to drink tea and read newspapers?"

"Busy is busy. We still have to learn about biomedical news." Director Hai coughed and said, "The cooperation between student Yang Rui and Zeneca shocked us all. The production rate of the WestJet factory It has more than doubled, you know?"

"I heard." Yang Rui also guessed that this was the main reason why TCM Foreign Trade gave him the invitation letter.

"It's amazing." Director Hai sighed again, and said, "We originally planned to cooperate with Yang Rui after this meeting and open two coenzyme q10 factories..."

"I'm short on time, I'm afraid I don't have time." Yang Rui quickly interrupted him, and cooperated with Zeneca.

Director Hai laughed and said, "I know, I know, after reading the new issue of "Guangming Daily", we have a new idea here."

"Oh?"

"Would you like to have a name in our national medical foreign trade laboratory?"

"nominal?"

"Our National Medicine Foreign Trade has a laboratory in Beijing, and there is also one in Guangzhou. You can choose a place at will, put a name, and you will get the experimental funds. If you are willing to use our laboratory, we will arrange it for you. If you don't want to use it, It does not affect your usual research. Of course, you have to do one or two projects and write one or two papers in the name of the laboratory of Chinese Medicine Foreign Trade at regular intervals. If the projects and papers generate economic benefits, we will give you a bonus , it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t generate economic benefits.” Director Hai put forward an extremely loose condition.

Not every experiment will produce economic benefits. Ninety-nine percent of basic experiments are pure losses, and not many applied experiments make money. In other words, TCM Foreign Trade allowed Yang Rui to use his own money to do unprofitable basic experiments by default, purely using money to buy fame.

This model is actually very common in later generations. For example, there are academician laboratories and Changjiang scholars’ laboratories everywhere in various universities across the country. In fact, academicians and Changjiang scholars are so busy. They wear multiple jobs. How can they have time to manage the laboratories of ordinary universities thousands of miles away? It's just a name.

If Yang Rui only studied coenzyme q10, he would naturally not be qualified to be named. Now that he has been gilded by an international conference, coupled with media reports, he has soared into the sky. The mentality has become the thinking of raising chickens and laying eggs.

After all, the number of scholars who can produce first-class papers is still rare, and they are all concentrated in top universities such as Tsinghua University and Peking University, as well as top research institutions such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Out of the water, there are some well-known players.

Able to make money, and famous, such Yang Rui is naturally not easy to force, on the contrary, there is value in wooing.

Director Hai himself doesn't know much about scientific research, but he understands the industry and directly gave Yang Rui the treatment of an expert.

Yang Rui was inexperienced, and said, "I've already registered in Professor Tang's laboratory."

"It doesn't matter if we use our name or Professor Tang's name, and it doesn't affect each other. When writing an article, if you want to write about our Chinese medical foreign trade, you can write the work unit as Chinese medical foreign trade. If you want to write about Professor Tang Tang’s laboratory, you can write Professor Tang’s laboratory. However, if you apply for a project through the laboratory of Sinomedicine Foreign Trade, you must write the name of our Sinomedicine Foreign Trade.” Director Hai paused, stretched out his hand and said: “I promise , at least 100,000 yuan of research funding per year."

A research fund of 100,000 yuan a year, in an ordinary key university, is also a proper professor's treatment.

This sum of money may not be able to keep up with Yang Rui's own income, but it gave Yang Rui an expert's footsteps.

The difference between using other people's money to do one's own experiment and using one's own money to do one's own experiment is just like the difference between treating someone to a big meal and spending one's own money to eat a big meal.

"I can use the research funds as I like?" Yang Rui was also attracted by the Lei Feng-like conditions.

"Use whatever you want, and you will be reimbursed when you see the bill." Director Hai affirmed his Lei Feng's behavior. In the 1980s, the management of research funds was lax. Nobody cares about gas bills.

"Just a name?"

"Just a name."

"I have to tell Professor Tang."

"He must persuade you to agree." Director Hai is not worried at all, what he offers is equivalent to a professional contract in the scientific research field, which will benefit researchers a lot.
