Chapter 439 Project

In the morning, Li Mingrui wore sportswear and ran around the school pond a few times, saying hello to the students along the way. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Cozy.

However, there are even stronger players among the strong, and there are many smart minds in the world. Before Liu Mingrui graduated with a Ph.D., he thought that he should be considered the smartest person in the world, but when he really stepped into the gate of the scientific research pyramid, he realized that Ph.D.

Liu Mingrui originally wanted to set up a biological research team in the imperial capital, but the fact is that the imperial capital has gathered the most resources in the country as well as the top talents in the country. Having been around for a few years and being hit for a few years, he could only quietly go back to his hometown in Northeast China to find a university teacher. He got the title of associate professor very quickly, but the gold content has not been recognized by people.

Liu Mingrui, who is still young, has always wanted to do some research to prove his ability, but doing scientific research requires money. Now a random graduate student costs tens of thousands of yuan to do an experiment, and tens of thousands of yuan will be reimbursed if the experiment fails accidentally. Is it true that the experiment is done casually?

In the past, it was said that mathematicians are the cheapest to do research, and all they need is paper and pen. But now even mathematicians need to be equipped with supercomputers for research, and tens of billions will go out at every turn.

When the atomic bomb was launched, the whole country tightened their belts. Do you really think that scientists draw a blueprint and find a few workers to make the atomic bomb? Doing research now is purely a competition for capital. If you don’t have money, don’t even think about dedicating yourself to science!

In order to raise money for the experiments, Liu Mingrui started some small projects by himself, recruiting students from the school to work as workers, preparing some experimental medicines and selling them to the outside world. But the Northeast has been called a poor place in recent years, and no one is doing research for the poor. Liu Mingrui almost lost money to get in after a few years of tossing around.

Sweating slightly after running, Liu Mingrui went to inspect his laboratory. He has several scientific research dogs and a dozen scientific research handymen who can only wash flasks. Well, it's actually a bunch of graduate students and undergraduates. These people maintain Liu Mingrui's last project - raising mice.

Rats are always indispensable for biochemical experiments, especially for various drug experiments, mice of various lineages are indispensable, and the classification is quite complicated.

The university where Liu Mingrui works has a mouse breeding project that has lasted for more than 30 years, and the entire biology department is supported every year by selling these mice for money. The bitterness in it is tears if you say too much!

After entering the laboratory, some students reported to Liu Mingrui: "Professor Liu, Professor Xu from Ronghua has ordered another two thousand mice of the Alpha lineage."

"Ordered again? Didn't they just order a thousand last week?" Liu Mingrui was a little surprised, no one has sold such a large number of mice from him in so many years.

People nowadays like to buy imported products from abroad. That's right, all the mice of special pedigree are imported, and they are very expensive.

"No, last week they ordered a total of 4,500." The student said.

"What? 4,500! Can't they buy white mice and go back to barbecue and make tooth sacrifices?" Liu Mingrui couldn't believe it. In the past, they might not have been able to sell so many in a month. "How many sets of comparative experiments do you need to do?"

Ordinary white mice only cost two yuan each, but the little white mice in Liu Mingrui's hands belong to the purified lineage that has been selected and bred for more than 30 years. They are the most precious treasure left by the older generation of researchers in the school. of.

It's not difficult to raise a small white mouse, but Liu Mingrui's biology department usually raises two to three thousand mice. This amount is already remarkable, and it is useless to raise too many if they cannot be sold. It's good if someone orders now, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let Xu Guoqiang send the deposit first."

"The finance department of the department just called and said that the payment has been made in full," the student said.

"Call me for the full amount!" Liu Mingrui was surprised again, he knew in his mind that Xu Guoqiang spent two to three million yuan just to buy the mouse from him in the past two months. And mice are very cheap consumables in biochemical experiments, so you can imagine how much the other party spent in the experiment!

"This Xu Guoqiang is forcing our entire department to raise mice for him!" Liu Mingrui didn't have that much stock in hand, but the white mice would breed quickly if they really wanted to. Hearing that the other party had sent the money, he had already made up his mind to earn this huge sum of money, and maybe he could even earn him some money for experiments.

Liu Mingrui was rejoicing at the meeting, when suddenly the head of the department hurried over, took his hand and shouted, "Little Liu, why are you still here? Come with me."

Liu Mingrui made a profit on the spot, stood still and said, "Director, our lab has just received a big order for mice, and it can earn millions when it's done. I have to assign this task."

It's pitiful to say that an unsatisfied associate professor has a headache for millions of funds, while a professor who masters a large project may have hundreds of millions of project funds in his hands. But Liu Mingrui and the others are so miserable, they are poor and short-sighted!

Seeing that Liu Mingrui didn't leave, the dean of the department was so anxious that he could only pull it hard, and shouted: "Don't worry about whether it is a mouse or not, there is a 50 million project waiting for us now. If we can take it down, Our whole department will not worry about food and drink in the next few years.”

"Fifty million?" Liu Mingrui's heartbeat thumped, thinking that he had participated in the project competition of tens of millions in a research institute in the imperial capital. As a result, he who was full of confidence was beaten to pieces, and he could only go back to his hometown in the Northeast to make a living.

"Who will give us the project of 50 million soft sister coins? Director, you will not be cheated by others, right?" Liu Mingrui felt that the director and himself should calm down.

"Who said it was a soft girl coin, it was US dollars!" The head of the department shouted out his anxiety, "Do you know Xu Guoqiang? Xu Guoqiang took 30 million US dollars from this project to prop up a laboratory Yes, he's been so snarky lately that it makes people angry."

As soon as he heard it was US dollars, Liu Mingrui's heart jumped into his throat. Hearing that it was the funds for Xu Guoqiang's research project, he immediately believed it. At least Xu Guoqiang had bought mice from him in the past few months. But Xu Guoqiang was able to get a research grant of 30 million U.S. dollars, which was the first time he had heard of it.

"Can Xu Guoqiang get 30 million US dollars in research funding?" Liu Mingrui felt a flame bursting out of his nostrils. Thirty million U.S. dollars is a multi-billion soft sister currency, and the project he lost in the competition was only 10 million yuan.

"That Xu Guoqiang, He De, can control 30 million US dollars of funds? That guy's research level is a joke, far worse than mine." Liu Mingrui was so angry. Worry about making a million dollars. And someone who is not as good as he is but spends a lot of money, how can people balance it?

Now Liu Mingrui was even more anxious than the department director, and ran out of the laboratory yelling, "Let's go, director, let's go quickly. My level is much higher than Xu Guoqiang, so I must grab the project this time." (To be continued.) .)
