Xizhaizi Township is a pure agricultural town. Apart from the soil workshops that burn charcoal and bricks, there is almost no decent industry. Therefore, let alone words like 2 million US dollars, 200,000 yuan is also a huge sum of money for Xizhaizi Township.

In the era when Yang Feng was the party secretary of the township party committee, economic construction was not the main line of work, at least in inland provinces like Hedong.

However, the importance of funding is needless to say

Yang Feng's experience allowed him to maintain the situation in Xizhaizi Township. The so-called food finance is actually eight jars and seven covers. The main income of agricultural towns comes from agriculture, and the characteristic of agricultural production is to concentrate money and spend a lot of money.

How to raise funds before the autumn harvest to complete the work delivered by superiors and how to make good use of the only policies and resources in hand is the greatest knowledge for the cadres in Xizhaizi Township.

In this era, no one thought about what if I had 2 million.

No one has 2 million, and neither does the township government.

However, the English and translation words next door were still coming.

"Mr. Yang Rui, Professor Dalbeco told me that you insist on putting the laboratory in China. In this way, the US government cannot bear all the costs. At least in terms of infrastructure construction, such as land use costs and laboratory construction costs, we hope that China will bear part of it... Of course, these are not very strict requirements. We just hope that it will be easier when applying for funds... In short, our current goal is to complete the development of the second-generation PCR as soon as possible. Under this premise, we will provide as abundant funds as possible." The succulent Tobiles is very sincere, looking like I showed my underwear to you.

Yang Rui's tone was silent, but he said: "2 million US dollars is not considered sufficient funds."

He used Chinese and then said it in English, which made the rhythm of the conversation extremely slow.

In the living room, the cadres with their ears were stunned.

$2 million is not enough, what exactly do you want to do?

But Tobiles was very nervous and hurriedly said: "2 million US dollars is just the first batch of funds, which mainly provides you with improvements to the laboratory conditions. After the laboratory is completed, the total funds can be added to two to three million."

"Five million in total?"

"yes."

"5 million is not enough." Yang Rui laughed twice.

Tobiles hesitated for a moment and said, "I contacted professors from the Chinese Academy of Sciences before, and the budget they requested was $3 million."

"Then why don't you ask them to do it?" Yang Rui chuckled twice.

Tobiles quickly apologized and said, "I know there may be problems with their budget, so I didn't agree to them. However, 5 million is indeed the Ministry of Energy's limit. If it increases, it will be a special project."

"The U.S. Department of Energy is too stingy."

The rabbits in the next room shouted in unison: This is still stingy!

Tobiers cooperated and said: "Yes, it's mainly because Congress is too stingy. Professor Dalbeko is already applying for additional funds, but this also requires us to come up with some results. You know, Congress members always want to see the results..."

"I can understand."

"That's great..." Tobiles' fleshy cheeks showed a relief expression.

"It seems that I should not take DOE's money," Yang Rui said something that surprised Tobiles.

What was more surprised than Tobiles was the Chinese cadre in the next room.

Yang Feng couldn't help but stand up, and heard his son say, "Huarui Company is currently in good cash flow and can complete the research and development of second-generation PCR by itself."

Adhering to Yang Rui's usual thoughts, he is unwilling to share any rights and interests in PCR.

But Yang Rui's words made Yang Feng difficult to understand. Yang Feng, who was worried about everything in the development zone, wanted to rush in and say, "If you don't want money, I want it."

Fortunately, he still held it back, but his whole face turned red and scary.

Tobiles wanted to complete the task, but he had to persuade Yang Rui to collect the money.

The two of them pushed and refused, and soon started to use English and communicated at a fast pace, leaving the township cadres in the next room looking at each other.

"College students are really different." The village chief was the first to talk to Yang Feng.

Yang Feng smiled bitterly and said, "I'm stupid when I read books."

Everyone agreed.

The English sound in the next room quickly became slower. After a while, Yang Rui started to speak Chinese again: "I'll send you out."

The translation was translated as usual.

At the same time, all township cadres, including Yang Feng, stood up and looked at the bedroom door where they were just talking.

Tobiers bent his fat waist and stepped out step by step, talking about the bird song that everyone could not understand.

Yang Rui just shook his head, greeted everyone, and said in Chinese: "Huarui is enough to independently complete the second-generation PCR research, but instead took your money. You have to check this and ask that one, it's too troublesome."

Tobiles quickly asked someone to translate and said, "I am responsible for the inspection, so there will be no trouble."

"Check is the DOE standard, can you make the decision?"

Tobiles dared not make a guarantee.

Yang Feng understood it now and nodded slightly. Comrade Yang Feng, who had been a local emperor for his whole life, was the least happy thing that he was examined.

His actions caught Tobiles' attention.

Tobiles was about to be sent out by Yang Rui, so he was wise and asked the translator: "This is Yang Rui's home, is this Yang Rui's father?"

The translation says "yes".

Tobiles asked Yang Rui: "Can I talk to your father? He is a local government official, right?"

Tobiles also read the information when he came out.

Yang Rui nodded.

Tobiles hurriedly ran to Yang Feng, shook hands and greeted each other.

The township cadres who were originally sitting opposite Yang Feng took a step back together.

Tobiles, a succulent American, is not particularly strong, but compared to the cadres in Xizhaizi Township, his figure and body shape are still bigger than one or two. The most important thing is the appearance of a white man I have never seen before, which makes people feel strange.

Yang Feng was stunned for a moment, shook hands with Tobiles with a smile, and made a friendly conversation through the translation.

After Tobiles talked casually about two topics, he talked about the importance of the Ministry of Energy and PCR, and, intentionally or unintentionally, he had the right to sponsor some government projects.

Yang Feng suddenly became interested. He didn't know the specific situation, so he didn't want it or not, but asked carefully.

Yang Rui stood by the side with a smile, and his thoughts quickly flew out of the room.

After solving the problem of Dean Cha, Yang Rui's road in China was actually very spacious.

Now, Professor Cai, Professor Wu Hongbo and others who support Yang Rui cannot be said to be a one-handed person, but they also have mastered most of the energy in the domestic biological world. This means that Yang Rui can easily apply for large funds, and the amount and requirements are something that professors of any era can't ask for.

However, Yang Rui was unwilling to apply for such funds himself.

It’s like Professor Wu Hongbo would not take these funds at will, and Professor Cai would not use up all the funds from the Department of Biology of Peking University. Instead, he allocated hundreds of thousands of yuan of funds more than once.

The reason is very simple. With the status of Professor Cai and Professor Wu Hongbo, they are already a domestic academic valet.

The key to becoming a clan is not how powerful you are, but how powerful your subordinates are.

What's the matter if you spend all your money?

If Yang Rui keeps getting domestic funds and gets funds from Professor Cai and Professor Wu Hongbo, no matter how strong his academic ability is, he will be the disciple of Professor Cai and Professor Wu Hongbo after all. Although there is nothing wrong with it, as for Yang Rui, let alone being a disciple of academician-level figures, he would be grateful to be a committee-level professor and being a lackey under the sect.

But Yang Rui's goal does not stop there.

He has been nominated for the Nobel Prize. If he hadn't had his qualifications too little, he would have been a scholar now. He could not write applications for millions of RMB every day.

Of course, these funds are also needed, but giving them to your own laboratory is better than getting them, just like Professor Cai and Professor Wu Hongbo did it.

The transfer of funds is only one of the sufficient conditions for academic vassals, and the creation of funds is a necessary condition. Those who only transfer but do not create are not called academic vassals, but are called Lei Feng.

Tobiles holds a quota of 5 million US dollars in exchange for PCR rights, and Yang Rui is not willing at all.

But if Yang Rui is not interested in the $5 million he has in his hands, that's not all.

All the gifts were delivered to his home, and I was embarrassed to let him take them back.

Seeing that Tobiles had already proposed a donation of $100,000 in order to seduce Comrade Yang Feng, Yang Rui slowly spoke: "Tobiles, the Ministry of Energy, mainly Mr. Dalbeko, mainly hopes to prepare for the human genome project, right?"

“Yes, the Human Genome Project is a Century Project…”

"I know, I know. I support the Human Genome Project, but the rights of the second-generation PCR cannot be given to the Ministry of Energy... However, in addition to PCR, there are many projects that the Human Genome Project needs to do. If there is financial support, I can also help." Yang Rui said it more cautiously. In fact, in addition to PCR, a purely academic and non-commercial project, Yang Rui is also interested in doing it.

Of course, you can't pay for it yourself.

Tobiles hesitated: "Mr. Dalbeco hopes to complete the second-generation PCR project as soon as possible, if you only do one project..."

"If I only do one project, I may have to waste more time on other matters. Therefore, if the U.S. Department of Energy can support several other projects, I can focus my energy and time on the second-generation PCR project." Yang Rui spoke in English, with his expression "I am talking about politics."
