Chapter 1345 The Beauty of Adulthood
"There is a meeting in the school, and Professor Cai passed by temporarily."
Lao Fang did not find Professor Cai, but only caught Dean Liu, but it was useless. The latter was the expression of "I'll have a tycoon meal", which obviously didn't look like he could talk about things.
Lao Fang suppressed his anxiety and said, "Old Cai is still talking to me in front of me, why did he turn around and leave? When will he come back?"
"Not necessarily. I might come or not tomorrow for a meeting." Dean Liu spread his hands and said, "There are many things in the school, and it is impossible to walk for three or four days after leaving."
Lao Fang scolded in his heart: The tens of millions of dollars of funds are allocated. You are now saying that you are busy? What's more busy than this?
For domestic universities, the most important thing is funding.
There are scholars with funds, there are projects with funds, and there are infrastructure with funds. These are the most basic. The only thing that can be higher than this is scholars, projects and infrastructure that can bring funds. However, this kind of thing is hard to come by, even Yang Rui. He actually doesn’t bring much money to Peking University or the Department of Biology. In essence, he has not yet brought a penny of funds to Peking University or the Department of Biology.
Of course, this is also the period of rapid growth. Professor Cai was particularly responsible for his protection, so he did not withdraw his funds. He applied for 50,000 yuan in funds, and the school took 10,000 yuan away. The college took 10,000 yuan away. If there were laboratories or projects on it, it would be normal to withdraw 20,000 yuan. The so-called management fee is not the original creation of financial institutions.
Most of the people who are truly qualified to bring funds to the school are at the academician level. Not only do they apply for a lot of funds, but their project expenses are still small, which is the treasure of the school. With Yang Rui's background and connections, he is unlikely to enter the level of oversupply after winning the Nobel Prize. However, once he enters, the amount of overflowing funds will be excessive.
It is considered too much for an ordinary academician to overflow 30 or 40 percent. A scholar with a fund of about one million yuan a year is equivalent to overflowing 300,000 or 400,000 yuan a year. This was the level in the 1980s, and a dignified academician can’t be considered too little for a fund of one million yuan a year.
A powerful academician may not overflow more, but the amount of funds will be higher, but it will not be much higher. Scholars who really have to apply for tens of millions of funds in 1986 have extremely powerful projects, but they will overflow less.
However, in the past year, Yang Rui's expenses have been nearly ten million US dollars, and the supporting RMB is also several million, which can be said to be more expensive than the expenses of ten academicians. However, G protein-coupled receptors can take more funds. After so much money, the overflow can be said to be negative because Yang Rui also filled in a lot of money.
Only when Yang Rui goes further will the overflow increase. At that time, even if the funds Yang Rui applies for every year are only overflowing by 10%, it will be millions or even tens of millions. For a school or a college, it is a cash cow. Whether this money is distributed by the school or Yang Rui himself, as long as the meat is rotten in the pot, it is extremely terrifying.
Yang Rui was able to do G-protein-coupled receptors without paying management fees, and there was also such an expectation.
In Lao Fang's view, 863, along with the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education's fund allocation, almost accounts for the majority of the flexible funding each year. It is almost impossible for Professor Cai to leave at this time.
He said with some displeasure: "Old Liu, we have known each other for some years. Don't control me at this time. No matter what Lao Cai said before, if I ignore it, he will never take advantage of it. If I don't do it well, I can still cause some trouble for you. When we have some talks, what can I wait for?"
"Didn't you say you didn't have any talk a few days ago?" Old Liu smiled and didn't care about Lao Fang's threat.
Lao Fang's face was not red, and he said neatly: "If Lao Cai really doesn't want to talk, he won't come to me today. Hurry up, don't stretch it anymore, and you have to save time and talk to others."
You have to unify your thoughts by delaying time, and you have to unify your thoughts when you come into contact with freezing. However, this issue was discussed by Dean Liu and Professor Cai. Dean Liu pretended to think about it and said, "I call Lao Cai. If nothing unexpected happens, he will come here early tomorrow."
"Come here early?" Lao Fang frowned: "How early?"
"At 6 o'clock. Our discussion meeting will open at 9 o'clock, and 3 hours of neutrality is enough."
Lao Fang was naturally dissatisfied with such a time arrangement, but he had no choice but to discuss it with others.
The next morning, Lao Fang, Lao Tan, Ge Xingbang and others all got up early and came to the conference room early.
Professor Cai and Dean Liu came a little later, but they were both before 6 o'clock.
Several people pulled a piece of paper and started drawing it on it.
The total amount of less than 30 million yuan of funds was ripped back and forth by several people, both for their respective units and themselves, and for projects that others and their respective representatives.
A simple number, people who don’t know think that many complex technologies will be derived, but in fact, it is just a simple share of money.
"6.5 million cannot be reduced, otherwise there will be no meaning to continue talking about it." At about 9 o'clock, Professor Cai wrote a number at the end, drew two horizontal lines, put down the pencil, and said: "Yang Rui received more than this number this year, and it is not counted as the source of other projects."
This money is considered the funds of three major departments, and it is the extra money that can be obtained from the unit. For non-academicians, millions are already a dream, and 6.5 million is even a sky-high price.
Professor Cai's words couldn't help but arouse resistance.
"There is no reason why the funds only increase and not decrease." Ge Xingbang was also an academician, and his tone was cold: "If you don't decrease, we can't talk."
Professor Cai shook his head and said, "Our conversation basis is not about reducing funds. If you come here with this idea, we will see the future development of the situation."
After talking for three hours in a row, it was about to be 9 o'clock, Ge Xingbang's anger gradually increased, and he threw his pencil and said, "I know what you think is, don't you think that Yang Rui won the Nobel Prize, will he have more funds next year? I don't believe it. Anyone who has a Nobel Prize nomination can increase the funds significantly next year? If this is the case, can I get a Nobel Prize nomination, can I also increase the funds?"
Nominations for the Nobel Prize are not announced, but it is not difficult to get a Nobel Prize nomination. In addition to nominations from former Nobel Prize winners, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and several designated universities around the world (changes every year).
With the qualification of Academician Ge Xingbang, he can really find nominees.
Of course, a simple nomination is actually meaningless. Unless the nominee takes the initiative to say this, there will be nominations that will not be announced by the Nobel Prize Committee or leaked by the Bo@Cai Group.
In terms of the rigor and privacy of natural science awards, it is meaningless to just seek a nomination.
The opposite is the Literature Prize. Before Mo Yan won the award, there were often so-called Nobel Prize nominees in China - the most unreliable propaganda, which were basically done to sell books.
In other words, there are no books to sell for natural science awards, so they keep a little purity, which is equivalent to wearing a *** dress when playing in eel pits.
However, nominations are different from nominations. If you judge by the list of ironic gambling groups, those with odds are valuable nominations, which is equivalent to being shortlisted. Otherwise, it is nothing more than just entertainment.
In Professor Cai's opinion, Yang Rui's nomination is extremely valuable, so his answer was quite targeted: "Whether you can increase the funds, what I say is not the limit, what I say is not the limit, it only needs everyone to say."
Ge Xingbang was waiting for Professor Cai's words, laughed disdainfully, and said, "Does Yang Rui just go to the Nobel Prize Committee to be familiar with him, and he has to count?"
Dean Liu was unhappy when he heard this and interrupted, "Why is it so familiar to me?"
"I don't know if there are a thousand people nominated for the Nobel Prize this year, there are hundreds of people. How many people can Yang Rui get? Maybe it will be eliminated in a blink of an eye. Will he still regard him as a star of hope next year and cultivate more? Does the country have so much money to waste it?" Ge Xingbang said, and slapped the table and stood up, saying, "What do you say about discussing the funds in advance? I think you just want to exaggerate and defraud the funds, let alone 6.5 million. When the dust settles, I'm afraid he won't even get 3 million."
"What does it mean to settle the dust?"
"It's also the finalization of the day tour." Ge Xingbang said in a stern tone, as if he insisted that Yang Rui would quickly eliminate him from the list.
His words inevitably made Lao Fang and others who were slightly anxious fall into thinking.
Indeed, although Yang Rui cannot win the Nobel Prize, he may continue to receive excessive funds because of the government's Nobel Prize cravings, but the government's Nobel Prize cravings also has a certain limit.
If Yang Rui was only a one-day tour, his value would be greatly reduced.
It is not much better than the nomination votes that a few people have fun with themselves.
The most important thing is that being shortlisted for a one-day tour means that the Nobel Prize Committee denies Yang Rui's value. If you continue to invest excessive funds, it will be difficult to generate the Nobel Prize.
"No matter it is PCR or G-protein-coupled receptor, it is impossible to be a one-day tour." Professor Cai lost his enthusiasm when he looked at the expressions of several people.
"Who knows?" Ge Xingbang consciously grasped the situation and said, "In short, there is no reason to give Yang Rui 6.5 million now."
"It should be reduced a little."
"3 million is too little. Based on this as the base, I think it's OK to increase it a little."
Several other people also expressed their opinions.
"Let's call and ask." Dean Liu suddenly spoke, saying: "Based on time, the latest news will be available at around 11 o'clock."
After saying that, he didn't care what the others thought, picked up the phone and dialed it out.
In these days, it is not easy to make a cross-border phone call. It is not easy to dial two hours in advance.
The others no longer had the nature of continuing to talk, so they just looked at Dean Liu dialing the phone.
At 9 o'clock, the official meeting of the "Bioengineering Association" began. However, the scholars at the highest level were all thinking, staring at the quiet telephone in the conference room.
At 11 o'clock, the cross-border phone finally rang again.
Regardless of the meeting, President Liu picked up the microphone as soon as possible and asked loudly: "What's the situation now... OK, I understand... OK..."
When he put down the phone, everyone in the conference room looked at Dean Liu.
Fortunately, Dean Liu could withstand the pressure, coughed heavily, and went directly to the conference room next door.
Professor Cai, Lao Fang and others followed one by one, and Ge Xingbang hesitated for a moment and fell behind.
When he entered the conference room, the room was already noisy.
"Old Ge is here." With a greeting, the voice in the conference room was instantly shut down.
Everyone looked at Lao Ge and the blackboard in front of the conference room.
Ge Xingbang looked at it with the flow and saw two big numbers written on the blackboard:
15!
30!
"What does it mean?" Ge Xingbang's face became a little hot, and he still asked.
"Yang Rui has been included in the 15-man roster. At present, the odds for betting on him to win the Nobel Prize are thirty in one way!" President Liu did not explain it. For scholars, the concept of thirty in one way can arouse imagination.
Ge Xingbang's heart skipped a beat and suddenly looked at Professor Cai with some regret.
