Chapter 561: Building a Microbiology Research Center
In New York City, Bai Ye sat at Ke Ao's home: "The room is nice and exquisite. How much did it cost?"
Keao shook his head: "I can't afford it. Housing prices in this area of New York are very expensive, and the editor's salary is not very high."
Bai Ye stood up and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Through the window, he could see the grand view of New York City. Not far from the window was the Empire State Building, and the goddess statue could be vaguely seen there. Bai Ye said with tut, "What a good place."
After a while, Bai Ye continued: "If you can help me, I will buy this floor and give it to you!"
Keao was stunned!
where is this place?
New York City!
And the building he is in is a place where every inch of land is at a premium. This is a top-notch apartment next to Madison Avenue in the Empire State Building. How much does it cost to rent out this floor? Tens of millions of dollars? No, no, no, it’s nearly two to three thousand dollars.
A square meter of single-story area costs nearly 30,000 US dollars per square meter, probably over 100 million dollars, right?
Keao: "Are you kidding me? Hundreds of millions of dollars. I will never make enough money in this or ten lifetimes."
Bai Ye smiled and stared at Keao seriously: "No, you can!"
Bai Ye was not joking, what he said was true. Is a six-star talent and a seven-star talent worth the money?
Bai Ye clearly remembered that three years ago, Ke Ao's scientific research skill Microbial Engineering was level 5, and Bai Ye also obtained this skill at that time.
Three years have passed, and Keao has reached level 6!
What does this mean? Keao has never stopped researching, he has never stagnated in microbial engineering, and his heart has not changed much.
Keao's microbial engineering talent is seven-star. The second seven-star Bai Ye has seen, the first one was Monica, and the second one was him.
What problem does it explain?
Keao is a man who can subvert the times.
He didn't realize this.
Keao: "You think so highly of me?"
Bai Ye nodded: "Yes, I have never doubted my own vision. I am not too bad at judging people, and...I have always been very lucky."
Keao’s monthly salary is not low, but he can’t even afford a house. Why?
It must be that he has been doing experiments, and he has never stopped his research.
Keao took a deep breath: "I will take you to a place."
The two drove to a factory area not far away. This place was no longer in the center of New York. After entering a square meter, Bai Ye's eyes suddenly lit up, because the place was surrounded by various experimental instruments. The walls
It was hung full of drawings, and all kinds of things were drawn on these drawings.
Bai Ye understood.
He knew what Keao had done in the past three years.
Bai Ye sighed with emotion: "Come to me and I will give you a scientific research institute that is ten times bigger than this one, no! A hundred times, a thousand times. When the time comes, I will build you a building like the Empire State Building and name it
It’s called the Institute of Microbiology.”
Keao laughed and scolded: "You think I am a three-year-old child? Empire State Building, why don't you talk about building a Manhattan Plaza?"
Bai Ye smiled awkwardly: "Take your time. Sooner or later, our building will be very tall and big, and it will become a landmark in New York."
Keao: "Okay, I'm very tempted. I agreed."
Bai Ye smiled: "That's right, you know? The most important thing for a person is to discover your own strengths and do what you are good at. This is a wonderful life. In fact... you are not suitable at all.
Be an editor."
Keao smiled and said: "Thank you boss for the compliment."
In the following time, Ke Ao resigned, and Bai Ye went to Lao Bai to borrow money. After all, the construction of the Microbiology Building could not be delayed any longer. There was no point in delaying it.
The family was sitting at the dining table, with the snacks that their mother, Hu Caiyun, had just learned.
Bai Ye smiled: "Dad, I need some money."
The main person in charge of Donglin Group is Bai Donglin. Even though Bai Ye is a shareholder, Bai Donglin is responsible for many things, including finance.
Bai Donglin looked like he was facing a formidable enemy: "How much?"
Bai Ye quickly said: "No more, no more, only two billion US dollars..."
Bai Donglin almost threw away the snack: "How much?"
Even Bai Ling and Hu Caiyun on the opposite side paused.
Bai Ye: "Two billion U.S. dollars, more is fine. After all, we will need a lot in the follow-up... I plan to build a microbial research center in Boston, which is estimated to require a lot of money. The two billion U.S. dollars should be the initial investment, and the follow-up investment
It should be a lot more..."
Bai Donglin: "Xiao Ye, I suddenly feel that it would be better to sell the Donglin Group while it is valuable now."
Bai Ye smiled awkwardly: "Let's take a loan. You are familiar with America anyway."
Bai Donglin was speechless. After Donglin Group went public and raised funds, its value has indeed appreciated a lot, but those are fixed assets, not money. If you want to make money, you have to wait for profit dividends, or continue to transfer shares.
Now that we have just started operating, there is no trace of dividends at all.
But regarding Bai Ye's Biological Research Institute, Bai Donglin also sorted out the priorities, thought about it and decided to get a loan as soon as possible.
Bai Donglin is now a VIP of Citigroup, but the US$2 billion loan still requires the vice president of the US headquarters to personally come out to entertain him.
The funds will definitely not arrive all at once, it will take some time, but it can be considered as a success.
The next day, Bai Ye left New York with Keao and came to Boston because Monica arrived.
We have arrived in Boston with our talented team and funds.
Building the Institute of Microbiology is not a trivial matter. Let’s temporarily settle down the personnel and start the crazy busy work.
The Institute of Microbiology is a big deal, but Bai Ye doesn't have time to take charge of it. With Monica in charge, everything is in order.
After all, a large amount of money was invested, and Boston government officials began to get in touch with it.
Monica is very good at this. Compared with the sophistication of people in China, Monica, as a native American, seems to be comfortable in Boston.
Bai Ye, on the other hand, gradually established a firm foothold at Harvard Medical School.
Harvard is a place that values strength.
Bai Ye's intestinal microecology courses have become more and more attractive, and after incorporating the intestinal flora map, his courses began to slowly revise, making his basic skills in intestinal microecology higher and higher.
At the same time, more and more students are taking Bai Ye’s courses.
Now the whole classroom is full of people, because they found that Bai Ye's research method is indeed effective.
Moreover, as the course continued to deepen, they found that... they could hardly keep up with Bai Ye's progress.
This made them feel frustrated. They were top students at Harvard. How could this happen?
