Hurrying to the small living room of his own teaching and research building in the Department of Biology, Liu Mingrui, who was full of enthusiasm, originally thought that he would see a very high-level and large-scale inspection team. In his imagination, he could get tens of millions of dollars.
Those who funded Xu Guoqiang's research should be some foreign pharmaceutical companies or scientific research institutions.
The cooperation between Hopkins Medical Center and Ronghua Medical University in the United States is no secret. Liu Mingrui felt that Xu Guoqiang was just lucky enough to get funds from foreigners. But the reality was a joke on him. The person who came to inspect was just a person.
A young man in his early twenties, upon asking he found out he was a graduate student who had not yet graduated.
The graduate student was very polite. He nodded to the crowd of teachers who crowded the small living room, and then introduced the thick stack of project plans on the table, "We are entrusted by foreign 'radiation venture capital' to find partners in China.
‘Radiation Ventures’ provides funding, publishes projects, and obtains patent rights for all technical aspects of the project. The papers generated in the project will be handled by the researchers themselves.”
Seeing the young man opposite him, Liu Mingrui's originally boiling blood froze. He didn't talk nonsense, but looked through the project plan on the desktop with other colleagues in the biology department.
This project plan is both simple and yet not simple, with clear organization and clear specifications. The more than one hundred pages of text divide a large project into more than ten sub-items, and these ten sub-items are further divided into more than one hundred sub-items.
"The people who are working on this project are very ambitious!" Liu Mingrui thought to himself: This entire large project cannot be completed by one or two universities or research institutes. It will basically involve all the biomedical and pharmaceutical fields in the entire Northeast region.
people gathered together.
To say that the Northeast is not very strong in the field of medicine, but a talented person with a certain level can earn tens of thousands to twenty thousand at any cost. Just assigning tasks to these people requires extremely high academic standards and management capabilities. No matter how Liu Mingrui sees it,
I think this is a bit like the state gathering a group of people to carry out big projects and make breakthroughs.
Nationwide effort? Key projects? Big efforts?
If this project can really be completed, the level of medical research and pharmaceuticals in Northeast China will definitely reach a big level. But the problem is...?
Liu Mingrui said to his department chair in a low voice with doubts: "Such a large project cannot be completed without national support, without one or two billion..., dollars, and without extremely high-level academic leaders!"
The bigger the project, the more it needs good management, the bigger the project, the more it needs huge amounts of funds, and the bigger the project, the more it needs talented and talented guidance. In the end, Liu Mingrui almost said that the requirements of this project were too ambitious and ambitious, and the possibility of failure was extremely high!
But the head of the department glared at Liu Mingrui and stopped him from continuing. Liu Mingrui immediately understood what his boss meant - no matter whether it succeeds or not, we just need to get the cooperation funds first and work as planned. The rest will be with us.
It doesn't matter.
Liu Mingrui suddenly stopped talking. He unconsciously lowered his goal expectations and regarded it as a cooperative project to earn some extra money for the department. At least the banknotes he was good at would not be fake.
Because the project was so large, it was impossible to cover all of it, and even one sub-item was difficult. Liu Mingrui discussed with other colleagues in the department for a long time and selected a few sub-items that he was more confident about as the direction of cooperation.
But the graduate student who finally came to submit the project proposal actually smiled and said that he couldn't make the decision. He only gave me a QQ number and said, "You need to talk to this person if you have something to do."
Damn it, is there such a weird method of communication? Instead of explaining things clearly in person when working on a scientific research project, we actually chat online.
But there is nothing you can do, for the sake of money, let’s just talk!
Since Liu Mingrui is considered the backbone of the department, with top-notch theoretical and practical skills, the task of contacting him was handed over to him. Without thinking much, he added the other party's QQ account on his office computer and showed his identity.
Start asking for project details directly.
The person on the opposite side of QQ, whose nickname is "Wu Ming", also asked directly about Liu Mingrui's research level and scientific research equipment. In the first half hour, they just talked in general, and Liu Mingrui submitted some papers he had written and the current status of the biology department of his school.
Half an hour later, the bayonet started to bleed...
"The quality of the paper is very average, and the experimental equipment is extremely backward." 'Wu Ming' commented.
Damn it... Liu Mingrui's blood surged up on the spot, his face flushed, and he punched his desk hard. They say you don't slap someone in the face, but when this 'nameless' person spoke like this, he slapped him hard on the face. This was really a shame.
He was so angry!
Liu Mingrui's thump on the table was heard by half the people in the biology department. The head of the department rushed over with great concern, and even more than a dozen old, middle-aged and young teaching and research staff in the department gathered around. Everyone saw that 'nameless' was acting like this
Ridiculing one's own abilities is also indignant.
"How is this man talking? Who does he think he is?"
"I have read all of Xiao Liu's papers, and their quality is excellent internationally."
"The equipment in our school is not that bad? Our school is already the best in the entire Northeast. The school has invested tens of millions of dollars in it in the past ten years."
Liu Mingrui had no time to evaluate the quality of his paper, nor did he have time to carefully consider whether investing tens of millions over more than ten years was too much. He now got into a fight with this 'unnamed' person, asking him several academic questions in a row.
"Yes, you should ask this person carefully, don't just brag casually."
"You say our Xiao Liu's level is average, but I would like to know how this 'nameless' level is?"
"This kind of person only dares to speak so loudly because he doesn't understand anything."
There were more and more people surrounding Liu Mingrui, and the teachers in the department were also filled with indignation. Naturally, they wanted Wuming to show off his abilities and level.
On the other hand, the ‘nameless’ person on the other side first said very modestly that he didn’t know much about biomedicine, and then started to communicate on purely academic issues.
At the beginning, Liu Mingrui was like taking a shot of chicken blood, typing as fast as he could, constantly using his wealth of knowledge to answer, or excerpting expositions from databases and the Internet to answer "unnamed" questions.
But this situation lasted for an hour, and Liu Mingrui began to have some difficulty, and everyone behind him also looked solemn. 'Wu Ming' was very quick in answering questions and asking questions. He also had all kinds of information and arguments at his fingertips, and they were all
The most cutting-edge international information.
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 other teachers behind him, "Hey... who knows this question? Help me think about it."
how to answer?"
"I have followed some foreign research papers on this issue of nuclear reprogramming, but our school has limited conditions and cannot conduct these experiments."
"I'm good at questions about genome sequences. But this person's questions are a bit too tricky. I have to check the information."
"There are too many studies on human immunity, but this person's argument is really novel. If you can continue this research and write a few "cell" papers, there will be no problem at all!"
In the end, the entire biology department became busy. Everyone was thinking, searching, or discussing, and worked together to join in the communication with the 'nameless'.
However, Liu Mingrui, who initiated this discussion at the beginning, was suddenly stunned - it was clearly 'Unnamed' who single-handedly challenged their entire biology department!
