Chapter 1220 Rough Conformation
Standing at the door of the ion channel laboratory, Matsushima Heng was still a little excited.
He tidied up his collar, then smiled at the people at the door, and walked into the laboratory first.
Professor Cai and other leaders of Peking University were standing under the eaves and making a welcome expression. Yang Rui was instead placed in the outer circle, which was half of the background.
Songdo Heng discovered Yang Rui at a glance. He had seen his photos many times, and he was surprised by the other party's youth and handsomeness every time.
Songdo Heng didn’t want to come to Peking University’s Ion Channel Laboratory for no reason, just like his $20 million, it wasn’t for no reason.
As a professor at Tokai University, Matsushima is not stupid, and major companies including Mitsui and other consortiums are also not stupid.
The 20 million US dollar gained in the 1986 years when the yen was appreciated, but in fact, even if Japanese companies and Japanese people are full of confidence to buy the whole world, when they really pay, there are still tens of millions of dollars that need to be considered again and again.
In the end, Songdo Heng went to China in person and carried $20 million in his waist. It was nothing more than the rise of the royal flag of G protein-coupled receptor, which was too tempting.
For Matsushima Heng, no matter what method he used, as long as he could be named in the research of G protein-coupled receptors at the Nobel Prize level, there would be infinite possibilities, and it was worth his special trip.
For large consortiums or large companies such as Mitsui, the extra funding for the Nobel Prize can be worth the fare, and the most attractive part lies in the impact of G-protein coupled receptors on medical research.
The association between G protein-coupled receptors and Nobel Prizes is not created out of thin air, but because it is extremely closely related to human and medical research. It can be said that in the progress of basic research in this area, dozens of new drugs can emerge every step forward.
It is also because of this that the strangle battle in the field of G protein coupled receptors is so fierce. Behind countless top laboratories is a large number of funds from foundations and large pharmaceutical factories.
This is the international scientific research pattern after World War II. The scientific projects that can make the most money can receive the most funding, and the basic scientific research projects that can promote profitable scientific research can receive the most attention.
Of course, a large amount of funds are inevitable. The mission of those "philanthropists" to establish a large number of foundations are not necessarily to fulfill charity, but more to crowdfund funds and invest in projects they care about. For example, charitable funds participated by bosses and senior officials of large pharmaceutical companies do not pursue profits, but they will definitely come to projects like G protein coupling receptors.
The same is true for Mitsui and Matsushima Hokage. The funds they paid and the funds they applied for from the country should also be used in the direction that is beneficial to them.
Songdo Heng looked at Yang Rui as if he was looking at a beautiful trophy.
He waited for the end of the greetings of a group of Chinese leaders, and immediately stood up and said hello: "Mr. Yang Rui, I am Matsushima Hiroshima from the University of Tokyo. I have read many articles you have published... Can you visit the ion channel laboratory?"
"Of course, please come in." Yang Rui had already packed up the laboratory. After the first phase of research was completed, he was facing the state of publishing papers and entertaining journalists and scholars.
Matsushima Heng walked into the ion channel laboratory excitedly and compared it with his fantasy ion channel laboratory.
In a semi-general laboratory, the instrument has been swung from beginning to end, and the prototype of a large laboratory has been formed. The experimenters are in their own positions and operate the few equipment...
Matsushima Heng approached one of the experimenters and carefully observed his operation before looking up slightly and laughing: "It's very skillful."
"Thank you." Yang Rui followed his footsteps and did not really let him be free in the laboratory.
"You have practiced for a long time."
“It’s true.”
"What is the current progress?" Matsushima Hokage asked politely.
"The current progress..." Yang Rui said this, smiled, but stopped, and said, "Sorry, this is something that is not convenient to reveal in the laboratory."
Matsushima's face froze and said with a smile: "Please don't get me wrong. I don't want to spy on your information, I just seek cooperation, and I always hope to understand the other party's situation as much as possible."
"Of course." Yang Rui said without objection. Of course, he would not cooperate with Matsushima Heng, but there was no need to refuse in front of so many people.
When Matsushima Heng looked at Yang Rui again, he felt that the color of the trophy in his eyes seemed to be much dim.
Songdo Heng hesitated for a moment and decided to come up with something more tempting, saying: "Mr. Yang Rui may not know me, but I have been paying attention to you and the work of Peking University Ion Channel Laboratory for a long time. After knowing that you are involved in the G-protein-coupled receptor project, I have been considering cooperating with you and have received support from some consortiums."
"oh."
"Mitsui Consortium supports my suggestions the most. Mr. Yang Rui, if you are interested, we can have a deeper understanding of each other. If you can cooperate, the Mitsui Consortium can provide great help." Matsushima Heng looked at Yang Rui's eyes and said: "At present, Mitsui Company can cover all the expenditures of Peking University Ion Channel Laboratory with just one fund."
As the director of the laboratory, it is always very attractive to fund and other things.
No matter how unwilling to cooperate, Yang Rui could not resist the burning gazes of the people around him. He looked up slightly and said, "Thanks to Mr. Songdao for his running and help."
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Matsushima Heng smiled so warmly, like an old man playing chess in the park, and said: "Can you talk about the situation of the ion channel now? Let's talk about the funding situation first. Is the funds in the ion channel laboratory still sufficient?"
Yang Rui hesitated for a moment and did not speak immediately.
Director Liang Rui saw it and was anxious in his heart. He couldn't help but say, "Mr. Songdao, you may not know that there is still a story about the funding preparations of Peking University Ion Channel Laboratory."
"Oh?" Of course, Hiroshima knew that he was just pretending to be curious at this time.
"When Director Yang Rui initially proposed to make G protein-coupled receptors, funding preparation was very problematic. Our domestic scientific research funding was very limited, and the support for scientific research projects cannot be compared with developed countries. However, we also know that the project proposed by Comrade Yang Rui is very important..." Liang Rui said a little long and long, and then said: "In the end, Director Yang Rui proposed a plan to exchange his existing patents for funds to do this project..."
Yang Rui stood aside and listened quietly, not refuting Liang Rui's Spring and Autumn style. Anyway, it was for foreigners to listen to it. That's the true and false.
However, Matsushima Heng seemed to listen to it and nodded repeatedly, "Mr. Yang Rui's approach is really admirable."
"Mr. Yang Rui is a real researcher, and cooperating with him is the best choice." Director Liang Rui thoughtfully wanted to keep Songdo Heng's investment. For him, the funding for entering the Ion Channel Laboratory of Peking University is also his political achievement.
Songdo Heng agreed very much, pondered for a moment, and said, "I can't make too many promises, but I can say that it is okay to give Peking University Ion Channel Laboratory a fund equivalent to the start-up capital. Of course, I still have to inspect the entire laboratory before I can officially sign the agreement."
"Ah...thank you, thank you Mr. Songdo." Director Liang Rui was so excited that he was already very excited.
Others also came up and asked about information such as total amount. From their perspective, the 20 million yuan that Songdo Heng brought and the remaining money, even the remaining soup and cold soup, could make everyone enjoy a lot of food.
Through the translation, Matsushima Heng listened hard. After a while, he pressed his hands and smiled: "I know that the first batch of funds for the Ion Channel Laboratory is US$6 million. There is no problem. Our first phase of funds can also be given so much. Not only that, our Toda-Taiwan Matsushima Laboratory is also willing to join in and help Mr. Yang Rui complete the project as soon as possible."
After a moment of stopping, Matsushima Heng said again: "Mr. Yang Rui, with the Mitsui Consortium, Dongda University, and the full support of our Matsushima Laboratory, I believe that within a year, we can achieve considerable results and gain a leading position in world-class scientific research competitions."
"What is the considerable result?" Yang Rui asked again.
Songdo Heng had a complete face and said seriously: "What I can guarantee here is that at least I can have an in-depth understanding of the conformation of G protein-coupled receptors. If I do a quantification, I hope to make a rough conformation diagram, where about 50% of the restrictions are confirmed!"
