Chapter 1190 King Flag

To date, only Xu Zhengping is the native associate professor at Peking University.

He was willing to come here, in addition to the leadership arrangements and personal intentions, but also because the initial ion channel laboratory needed a deputy. The ion channel laboratory on that day had already achieved world-class results. Working in such a laboratory is one thing, and being a deputy director is another.

Since Xu Zhengping, Yang Rui has never absorbed native researchers from Peking University. It is not that Peking University is not good enough, but that the scholars he wants are more advanced, and he cannot provide the resources he wants.

The treatment of Peking University and Tsinghua University has always been the best in China. It can be said that the gap between Peking University and Tsinghua University and other key universities is exponential. After all, Peking University and Tsinghua University are among the best universities in the country, and the third-ranked university cannot count it with one hand. The reputation accumulated from this brings countless spiritual and material honors.

As for scientific research, a professor or even an associate professor at Tsinghua University and Peking University has too many channels to get funding and support.

The simplest point is that it is very easy to achieve when professors from Peking University go to any local province and city, collect funds and cooperate with a project. In fact, they don’t have to take the initiative to find it. More than 1,000 offices in Beijing across the country have contacted many such tasks. The establishment of high-tech industrial parks or high-tech companies is the name of a professor at Peking University or a professor at Hedong University. There are two calibers in publicity.

Of course, if it is just a resource difference, there is still a way to overcome it, but Yang Rui's identity is difficult for professors at Peking University to accept.

People in the 1980s were still very good at face. Peking University teachers said that they were unwilling to work under the hands of students. At least, after Yang Rui graduated from university and stayed at school, he would still be the same at work under his hands. Although it was only one year away, the name was different after all.

Therefore, Yang Rui was able to finally bring two associate professors from Tsinghua University, but he was unable to find suitable personnel from Peking University.

However, since Yang Rui raised the banner of "G protein coupled receptor", the ideas of Peking University professors and associate professors have changed a little bit.

"G protein-coupled receptor" is the king's field in the biology world.

To raise the flag of G protein-coupled receptors is to raise the flag of the king.

Under the royal flag, there is a great reputation.

Just for China to explore the field of "G-protein coupled receptors", this sentence is enough to attract waves of applause at the Biology Conference.

Not everyone can erect the king flag.

PCR is the biggest reliance for Yang Rui to erect the king's flag. If PCR was still an amazing new technology two years ago, in the 1986, anyone with a discerning eye could see that PCR was a Nobel Prize-level achievement.

Although Nobel Prize-level achievements may not necessarily win the Nobel Prize, looking at China, how long will it take to have a Nobel Prize-level achievements?

Of course, it is not a Nobel Prize-level achievement, but it is qualified to open a tablet of "G protein-coupled receptor".

You must have capital to start a movie. If you want others to work hard, you must be able to pay for your life.

At this point, the story of Yang Rui paying $6 million out of his own pocket has long been spreading.

There is another sequelae about this incident, which is that everyone knows that it is possible to make money when doing scientific research. There are many scholars who want to learn Yang Rui's posture now.

The professor who was sitting in the conference room felt like he was sitting like a pincushion.

Working in a laboratory is the same as starting a company. First of all, you have to have your hands to work. The better the subordinates, the higher the profits they can bring, and the more resources they can strip out.

Those who are qualified to attend the academic committee are all professors at Peking University, and they all have professors in their own laboratory. Each of them has a lecturer as an assistant even if there is no associate professor. If it really doesn’t work, they will still attract full-time researchers...

But no matter who it is, no one is willing to give up the people under his command to Yang Rui.

Just like Yang Rui would not give up his subordinates to other laboratories.

The atmosphere in the conference room became tighter.

Everyone was considering how to reject Yang Rui's request, or what conditions to bring them up.

Honestly, no one can come up with a practical solution.

The 6 million US dollars of funding is a huge bug in itself. Except for a very small number of influential academicians, the scale of such funding is completely beyond the level of the domestic scientific research community.

The professors here are the reasons why they are deeply concerned about Yang Rui, which is nothing more than that they are unwilling to give Peking University supporting funds to Yang Rui.

The supporting funds are only 20 to 30%, and many people present share them. This shows how much money is 6 million US dollars in the original state.

Yang Rui looked at everyone's expressions and knew what everyone was thinking, but he just didn't say it.

Professor Cai couldn't stand it anymore and said with a cough twice, "Yang Rui, today is the Academic Committee meeting. If you are a member of the attendee, just express the suggestions you want to say. Let's discuss it again, don't keep it in a silence."

"Yes." Yang Rui has always given Professor Cai a very good face.

He sat down and lowered his head, put his hands on his thighs, and said in a very regular manner: "My idea is actually relatively simple. The field of G-protein coupled receptors is a large range, and it requires more people to do it. The scientific research team I have reorganized now has only 4 major researchers, and I only have 5 people, so I want to add some people."

"There are currently seven or eight in the Ion Channel Laboratory?" Professor Cai asked.

Yang Rui nodded and said, "But it's still not enough."

"How many do you want?"

Yang Rui smiled and said, "My consideration is not mainly about the number of researchers."

"oh?"

"You know, because the ion channel laboratory was established later, there have always been fewer auxiliary researchers. If you just talk about the number of researchers, you don't need to expand quickly. But I think the sooner you get the better." Yang Rui said it was quite tactful, but everyone here understood that Yang Rui wanted more scientific research dogs.

Professor Cai was almost convinced by Yang Rui at once.

In the laboratory, scientific dogs are a type of people who are not valued and indispensable.

In the scientific research laboratory, there are actually too many repetitive tasks. In other words, there are too many dirty and hard work to do.

Research dogs in scientific research laboratories are like junior lawyers in law firms or small workers on construction sites. They are the busiest group of people, sweating the most, spending the most time, and the rewards are completely disproportionate to their efforts.

The reason for this is that the career prospects of these jobs are far superior to the current job. Just like a small worker on a construction site, once he becomes a large worker, his salary will be doubled. If he is a little more powerful, he can earn three or four times the salary of a small worker. On the other hand, it is also because these jobs are very substitutable.

For example, since scientific research dogs are not even considered humans, the cost of training is naturally not high. Generally speaking, students who have undergone a systematic undergraduate education can work relatively skillfully after a little practice for a few years. If they are talented, it would be even better. In essence, they are similar to college students' soldiers and the training time is similar. College students' soldiers can retire in a few years, and scientific research dogs can do the same.

However, although scientific research dogs are not valued, they are not available at all, or they are not sufficient in number.

From a macro perspective, some scientific research dogs, especially in places like Peking University, where the laboratory is open and you can save a basket in a few days.

But in terms of the environment of the ion channel laboratory, it cannot be really open.

The first problem is that there are no master's and doctoral supervisors in the ion channel laboratory, so they can only recruit undergraduates who do graduation design, or they are simple scientific research dogs with temporary work. This effect is naturally not as good as that of graduate students with systematic practice.

Not to mention the level of graduate students, their service years are much longer than those of undergraduates. Except for monsters like Yang Rui, normal undergraduates can only be used until the end of their junior year, and those who can be used in their junior year are extremely high-end talents. In contrast, any graduate student can be used for three years. If you take the doctoral exam, it will be almost three years. A six-year non-commissioned officer is as stupid as a pig, and he is better than the major of an ordinary two-year conscript, let alone the situation of focusing on selection.

Yang Rui said that "the ion channel laboratory was established late" was just a reason proposed at the meeting. In fact, it was because he himself did not have the qualifications to recruit graduate students. In China, there are very few directors of first-class laboratories who are not master's supervisors, and in a few years, it will be unique.

As for the current environment, Yang Rui still does not have the qualifications to recruit graduate students, Xu Zhengping and others are also associate professors, and they are not qualified to recruit graduate students, so there is only one solution: add one to two master's supervisors to the ion channel laboratory.

Everyone here is logical. Following Yang Rui's thoughts, they were all shocked!

Those who are qualified to be a master's or doctoral supervisor in Peking University's Department of Biology are the people here.

In other words, Yang Rui didn’t want to dig out the people under their command at all, he just wanted to dig out the people here.

When Yang Rui looked at everyone's eyes, a group of middle-aged and elderly scholars present were all cold and felt like they were hanging on the slaughterhouse.

The most important thing is that the Ion Channel Laboratory is really qualified to recruit one or two master's and doctoral supervisors.

What’s the point of taking a laboratory that is qualified to raise a royal flag?

"Yang Rui, how many auxiliary researchers do you want?" Professor Cai decided to ask clearly.

Yang Rui gave a positive answer: "I think it's better to have more than 10 people..."

For 10 people, it is not something that can be filled in by undergraduates, and Yang Rui’s requirements are tactful and clear.

Professor Cai coughed heavily again, but he didn't know how to speak.

"I still have $3.3 million in funding now. The $3 million cannot be moved. The remaining funds can be mobilized. In addition, the 863 project I applied for, etc., should have some free funds. I think there is no problem to use it to fill the newly added personnel." Yang Rui continued to speak tactfully, but offered all the conditions.

In the circle of full professors, $300,000 is a number that is neither up nor down. If you want to say high, high-end professors disdain this number. If you want to say low, a weaker full professor will not reach this number at all.

Under the royal flag are towering battlements and pointed food and grass.

The golden grains flow out, radiating with an attractive light.

I have been studying at Luxun Academy of Literature recently, and the update is a bit untimely, so I'm sorry.
