Chapter Four Hundred and Fortieth Singled Out
Hurriedly rushing to the small living room of the teaching and research building of the Department of Biology, the enthusiastic Liu Mingrui originally thought that he would see a very high-quality and large-scale investigation group. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In his imagination, it should be some foreign pharmaceutical companies or scientific research institutions that can finance Xu Guoqiang's research with tens of millions of dollars.
The cooperation between Johns Hopkins Medical Center and Ronghua Medical University is not a secret. Liu Mingrui felt that Xu Guoqiang got the funding from foreigners just by luck. But the reality made a joke with him. The person who came to investigate was only a young man in his early twenties. After asking, he found out that he was a graduate student who had not yet graduated.
The graduate student was very polite, and the professor nodded repeatedly to the group of teachers who crowded the small living room, and then introduced the thick stack of project proposals on the table, "We are entrusted by the foreign 'Radiation Ventures' to find partners in China.
"Radiation Venture Capital" provides funds, publishes projects, and obtains patent rights for all technical aspects of the projects. The papers produced in the project will be handled by the researchers themselves. "
Looking at the young man on the opposite side, Liu Mingrui's blood that had been boiling was half cold again. He didn't talk nonsense, but looked through the project proposal on the desktop with other colleagues from the Department of Biology.
This project proposal is both simple and not simple, with clear organization and clear specifications. More than one hundred pages of text divide a large project into more than ten sub-items, and more than ten sub-items are further divided into more than one hundred sub-items.
"The people working on this project are very ambitious!" Liu Mingrui thought to himself: This whole big project cannot be done by one or two universities or research institutes. Basically, all the biomedical and pharmaceutical fields in the Northeast region will be involved. people gathered together.
To say that the Northeast is not very strong in medicine, but talents with a certain level can grab 10,000 to 20,000 at any rate. Just assigning the tasks of these people requires extremely high academic level and management ability. No matter how you look at it, Liu Mingrui feels that this is a bit like the state gathering a group of people to engage in big projects to make breakthroughs.
The power of the whole country? Key projects? Do something special?
If this project can really be completed, the level of medical research and pharmaceuticals here in Northeast China will definitely be raised to a higher level. But the problem is...?
Liu Mingrui whispered to his department head suspiciously: "Such a large project, without state support, without 10 to 20 billion..., US dollars, without extremely high-level academic leaders, can't be done at all!"
The bigger the project, the more it needs good management, the bigger the project, the more it needs a huge amount of funds, and the bigger the project, the more it needs the guidance of a talented genius. In the end, Liu Mingrui almost said that the requirements of this project were too ambitious, and the possibility of failure was extremely high!
But the head of the department gave Liu Mingrui a glare.
Stop him from continuing. Liu Mingrui immediately understood what his boss meant—it doesn't matter if it succeeds or not, let's ask for the cooperation funds first and work according to the plan. The rest has nothing to do with us.
Liu Mingrui stopped talking immediately, he unconsciously lowered his goal expectations, and thought it was a cooperative project to earn some extra money for the department. At least the banknotes in hand will not be fake.
Due to the large size of the project, it is impossible to cover all of them, even a sub-item is very difficult. Liu Mingrui discussed with other colleagues in the department for a long time, and chose a few projects that he was relatively sure of as the direction of cooperation.
In the end, the graduate student who came to send the project proposal actually smiled and said that he could not make the decision. He only gave a QQ number and said, "You need to talk to this person if you have something to do."
Fuck, there is such a wonderful way of communication? When engaging in scientific research projects, you don't make it clear in person, but chat online.
But there is no other way, for the sake of money, let's talk!
Since Liu Mingrui is regarded as the backbone of the department, with top-notch theoretical and practical skills, the task of contacting him was entrusted to him. Without thinking too much, he added the other party's QQ account on his office computer, and after identifying himself, he directly started asking for project details.
The QQ nickname on the opposite side is 'Wu Ming', and they also directly asked Liu Mingrui about his research level and scientific research equipment. The first half hour was just a general talk. Liu Mingrui submitted some papers he had written and the current situation of his school's biology department.
After half an hour, the bayonet began to see blood....
"The level of the thesis is very average, and the experimental equipment is also extremely backward." 'Nameless' commented.
Damn... Liu Mingrui blushed on the spot, blushing, and punched his desk hard. It is said that slapping people does not slap people in the face, but this 'Wu Ming' slapped him hard on the face when he said this, which really pissed him off!
When Liu Mingrui thumped the table, half of the biology department heard it. The head of the department rushed over very concerned, and even a dozen senior, middle-aged and young teaching and research personnel in the department surrounded him. When everyone saw that 'Wu Ming' had ridiculed their own ability in such a way, they were also indignant.
"How did this man talk? Who does he think he is?"
"I have read all of Xiao Liu's papers, and his level is also excellent in the international arena."
"Our school's equipment is not bad? Our school is already the best in the Northeast. The school has invested tens of millions of funds in the past ten years."
Liu Mingrui didn't have time to evaluate the level of his thesis, and he didn't have time to study carefully whether investing tens of millions over ten years was too much. He was going to compete with this 'nameless', and asked him several academic questions in succession.
"Yes, you should also ask this person carefully, don't be a random bragging guy."
"It is said that our little Liu's level is average, but I would like to know how the level of this 'nameless' is?"
"This kind of person is afraid that he doesn't understand anything, so he dares to speak so loudly."
There were more and more people around Liu Mingrui, and the teachers in the department were also filled with righteous indignation, so it was natural for 'Wu Ming' to show his ability and level.
On the opposite side, 'Wu Ming' first humbly said that he didn't know much about biomedicine, and then began to communicate on purely academic issues.
At the beginning, Liu Mingrui was as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, typing like flying, constantly bringing out his full knowledge to deal with it, or answering "unnamed" questions with excerpts from databases and the Internet.
But this situation lasted for an hour, and Liu Mingrui began to struggle a little, and everyone behind him also looked solemn. 'Wu Ming' was very quick to answer or ask questions, and all kinds of materials and arguments were at his fingertips, and all of them were the most cutting-edge information in the world.
You must know that biomedicine is also profound and broad, with many branches, and Liu Mingrui only specializes in a small part of it. Soon he had to ask the other teachers behind him, "Hey..., who knows this question? Help me think about how to answer it?"
"I have followed some foreign research papers on the issue of nuclear reprogramming, but our school has limited conditions, and these experiments cannot be done."
"I'm good at questions about genome sequences. But this person's question is too tricky. I need to check the information."
"There are too many studies on human immunity, but the argument this person said is really novel. If you can study this and write a few "ceLL" papers, there will be no problem at all!"
In the end, the entire biology department became busy, and everyone was thinking, searching, or discussing, and they worked together to join in the communication with 'Nameless'.
On the contrary, Liu Mingrui, who started this discussion at the beginning, was suddenly stunned—it was clearly 'Wu Ming' who singled out their entire biology department! (To be continued.)
