"Director Mei, Director Tie, come, come and sit down and have a tea." Yang Rui turned a corner of the warehouse into an office area, and placed a group of old tables, chairs and benches to entertain guests.

The guests in the laboratory are naturally donors.

In Yang Rui's previous style, he was unwilling to waste time to entertain investors. It was so troublesome to send him off... However, it was really easy for the genetic engineering laboratory to raise funds, but it made Yang Rui interested in drinking tea at this time.

Furthermore, the more funds you raise, the higher the efficiency of the laboratory. When doing experiments, your centrifuge rotates faster than others, and your PCR is more convenient than others. Wouldn't you save time? If you can hire more skilled labs, the progress of the experiment will be more guaranteed. All of these depend on the huge amount of funds.

The laboratory is not a company with regular income, and the funds raised are all over the place. The funds raised cannot only consider short-term expenses, but also long-term expenditures. In this case, only by raising a large amount of funds can we dare to update the equipment and increase the staff.

Otherwise, once the capital chain breaks and the laboratory faces life and death, the most uncomfortable project cut will inevitably occur.

Even in the 21st century, laboratories that dare to invest in scientific research in units of one billion are still a handful. It’s not that you receive 1 billion yuan this year and you can do scientific research with a total investment of one billion yuan. In reality, the more you invest in a huge project, the longer it takes. Not to mention projects like the Human Genome Project, even projects that clone sheep, it is hard to say that scientific research time can be calculated in ten years, with a slight obstacle and no one has ever been able to run for 20 years.

For such a long time, it is impossible to guarantee that I have collected 1 billion yuan this year. I will start a 100 million yuan project this year, which will last for ten years - long-term global inflation will increase the demand for funding in the fifth year to 140 million yuan. By the eighth year, the original cost of 100 million US dollars will become 170 million yuan, which is equivalent to a half of the funds in disguise. If there is no preparation in advance, it is not unfair to die in the 10-year project in the 8th year.

Yang Rui really needs to prepare for the genetic engineering laboratory in advance.

First of all, he knows little information about genetic engineering, and secondly, he can invest less time and energy. In this way, in order for the genetic engineering laboratory to survive healthily in 10 or 20 years, he needs to reserve some resources for the genetic engineering laboratory.

To be fair, genetic engineering laboratories need to reserve more resources than ion channel laboratories.

Because the Ion Channel Laboratory has Yang Rui's long-term management and interference, he has a stronger ability to utilize resources and transform resources.

Some people may say that who can control what will happen in 20 years...

Unfortunately, this is the systemic risk of scientific research. If a laboratory does not have an expected lifespan of 20 years, it has no value at all.

Not to mention anything else, it takes ten or twenty years to upgrade a laboratory to a qualified recruitment of doctoral students or postdoctoral students. This only shows that this laboratory is at the forefront of related fields, but also at the forefront of related fields in the Third World.

The number of doctoral students is trained at least 3 years, at most six or seven years, and 20 years. It only takes seven generations of doctoral students to train, with the total number of no more than 20.

In other words, if it is produced and sold by itself, this laboratory took 20 years, but it just happened to touch the edge of a first-class laboratory.

If Yang Rui creates a laboratory and cannot reach the level of a first-class laboratory, why should he waste his time? He simply uses his time and resources to play in the entertainment industry.

Anyway, the social value that second-rate experimenters in second-rate laboratories can generate is similar to that of little stars.

Funders are actually a kind of resource.

From the perspective of laboratory managers, those who are willing to donate now should also tend to donate in the future.

Especially for large state-owned groups like China National Animal Husbandry and Qingmu, they invest millions in their laboratories every year. Including labor costs and infrastructure costs, there are tens of millions a year.

With so much money, compared to the results they produce, it is actually better to buy it. The nature is the same as that of the state-owned enterprises’ own kindergartens, primary schools and middle schools. Will the teaching quality be better? It may not be. But the cost is several times higher than that, and the core is nothing more than the word convenience.

When state-owned enterprises are responsible for their own profits and losses and survive difficult, state-owned enterprises will be weak in this "convenience", or in other words, with such willful ability to withstand this willfulness. If Yang Rui's genetic engineering laboratory can seize the opportunity, it will instead accumulate a large amount of resources.

And "Chuanghui Niu" is a good opportunity.

This concept is not something you can have just if you want, especially if it is limited to the field of genetic engineering, there are not many projects that can make money.

Projects like the cloning of Sheep Dolly sound like they are applied, but in fact they are equivalent to basic research and it is difficult to find commercial institutions to donate. In fact, when the British made the cloning of Sheep Dolly, they were completely secretly announced and did not announce it until after their success. The British government responded quickly and immediately reduced the funding of the laboratory.

Yes, it is to reduce rather than increase, because politicians' fear of clones is an amplification of the fear of ordinary people. In order to avoid further deepening of the laboratory, the reduction of funds has been passed with almost no response.

From the perspective of scientists, this is simply a meaningless stupid thing. In fact, this situation has appeared in scientific research laboratories more than once.

The project is poorly done, the funds are reduced; the project is not as expected, the funds are reduced; the project is not as expected, the funds are reduced; the project is not as expected, the funds are reduced; the project is good enough, the funds are met; the project is very good, the funds are particularly satisfied... There are also changes in people, changes in world events, economic crises,...

In short, it is not easy for a laboratory to find a stable source of funds, and it is unreliable to rely solely on the government or a certain donor.

Yang Rui pretended to pour tea, but what he thought about was how to pour cyanide and chemicals into the gold mine.

Director Mei and Director Tie are still indifferent and look at each other. No matter how you look at them, they don’t look like friends you haven’t seen for many years.

Fortunately, everyone was all the scenes. After half a minute of embarrassment, the new President Qu laughed and said, "Director Yang, I came here today to try your lunch. I heard that your buffet is better than the Roman restaurant in Wudaokou."

"It was made by a chef invited from a Roman restaurant." Yang Rui smiled and said, "Good vision."

The Roman restaurant he mentioned was the buffet jointly owned by Yang Rui and Shi Gui, located above Yang Rui’s bowling alley in Wudaokou. Yang Rui needs two or three chefs to help, so it is naturally not a problem.

Now, the genetic engineering laboratory with its own funding has been completely separated from the Peking University Ion Channel Laboratory. If you don’t have time to recruit chefs, it’s better to hire foreign players.

Qu Chang Chang raised his thumb and said, "It's probably going to cost a lot of money."

"It's quite expensive. The daily food standard for our researchers is currently tentatively 3 yuan, which is not counted as the expense of staple food." Yang Rui was not prepared to conceal it. When he recruited researchers, he used this to attract people. Interested people can always ask if they want to ask.

Qu Chang took a breath and said, "Eat 3 yuan a day, don't you have to eat 90 yuan a month?"

"There are more than 4 days of vacation per month." It is still a six-day working system every week, and this is true for people across the country.

"That's going to cost more than seventy." Qu Changshang looked around and said, "We are so small now, and we have to eat three or four hundred yuan a month. It's not enough to count the chef and other expenses."

"Not counted."

"I'm much better than us," said Mr. Qu, raising his hand and laughed: "I have no other meaning, just sigh."

Yang Rui nodded with a smile, glanced at the right, and said, "Director Mei actually had the same problem as you before."

"Huh? Is that right?" Qu Chang looked at Director Mei gently, feeling a little bit like finding the Allied Army.

Director Mei was in a bad mood and his tone was also cold: "That's right. When I said this to Yang Rui last time, Director Yang forgot what he said to me. It's roughly the meaning is, wherever you come and go. If you like to give money, you will give money. If you don't like to give money, I'm not happy to ask for it. Director Yang, is that what does that mean?"

Qu Changchang's expression changed drastically, and he also looked at Yang Rui.

"I didn't say that." Yang Rui was speechless.

"Last time I asked about the progress of the experiment, and the reply was almost the same." Director Tie added, and this time he stood on the same front with Director Mei.

Chief Qu looked at Yang Rui again.

Yang Rui shrugged: "They understand it wrong."

"What does that mean?" Director Tie asked rushingly.

"Our laboratory is very happy that someone has donated, but we have no obligation to provide information, and we do not accept any requests and controls from donors." Yang Rui sorted out the language and answered this way.

"You can give money, don't talk nonsense." Director Mei suddenly looked at Chief Qu with a little gloating and said, "When you give money, don't you know?"

"I know." Qu Changchang's face was a little green, and he said, "But I'll just say that I'll save some of the laboratory in some places. That's right."

"You can't say this." Director Tie sighed, pointed at himself, and pointed at Director Mei, saying: "We invested 1.6 million on behalf of Qingmu and China Occupational College. You said, are we qualified to say it?"

Yang Rui looked at the precursor of his anger as he was already angry, and quickly interrupted: "We are still very careful to listen to your opinions and suggestions..."

"It's just that I never execute it." Director Mei suddenly wanted to laugh.

Director Tie laughed out loud.

"You guys." Qu Chang stood up in a daze. If it weren't for seeing Yang Rui and Director Tie's strong figures, he would have taken action directly.

"What are you talking about? You're so happy." The two of you walked in from outside the warehouse, and stomped your feet while walking: "This capital is a weird place. The city is still warm. Once you get outside the city, it's so cold."

"Bai Chu, Chairman Qiu." Yang Rui greeted. These two were also the financial backers who gave the money two days ago.

The two of them smiled and greeted each other, rubbed their hands, and said, "Don't hold it up, you guys talk to you, let's follow."

"We talk about eating. The laboratory buffet is pretty good." Mr. Qu's face changed quickly, and he could no longer see the unhappiness he had just now.

When Director Bai heard them, he immediately remembered the recent legend and asked: "I heard that the buffet in the Genetic Engineering Laboratory is of a high standard?"

"That's right." Chief Qu nodded.

"How much does it cost this month?" Director Bai asked curiously.

Chief Qu Chang said deliberately: "It's only a few hundred yuan."

"A few hundred yuan is not much."

"You can't control it if you have less." However, Chief Qu changed his face again, and he was serious and serious.

Director Bai was stunned by his words and said, "I don't care?"

"Director Yang's rules: If you want to give money, you don't have the right to nag, no matter whether you give money or not." President Qu suddenly felt a sense of revenge. After saying this, his whole body felt relieved.
