Chapter 1267 Downgrade
Yang Rui really hoped that his or Jing Yulan's guess was wrong.
However, in the next two days, the embassy, which had no movement, indirectly proved the two's speculations.
Ling Zhiming, who was over 50 years old, neither returned to Stockholm nor contacted Yang Rui. Even his secretary seemed to have disappeared.
Although the embassy sent a counselor, the counselor had no intention of organizing the event.
At this time, Yang Rui didn't need to explain it. Other members of the delegation also came back to their senses. Several researchers from the Ion Channel Laboratory were particularly worried. Su Xiankai even found Yang Rui and asked: "Are we just staying in Stockholm like this and doing nothing?"
"Why is it called doing nothing?" Yang Rui was expecting it and was not particularly disappointed. Instead, he asked with a smile: "Is it still uncomfortable to live in the hotel every day and serve it with delicious food and drink?"
"It costs a lot of money here a day. If Coca-Cola is willing to pay for a few days, it may not be possible to go all the way." Su Xiankai couldn't help but worry about the money. Sweden's prices have opened the eyes of the Chinese. In this place where a piece of bread costs 15 kronor, the RMB income is so weak.
Yang Rui said lightly: "I have talked to people from Coca-Cola. Let them pay for a week first, and then talk about it in a week."
In one week, Coca-Cola's expenses were just over 100,000 US dollars, no more than 150,000 US dollars, which was equivalent to the one-year funding sponsorship they gave to Yang Rui's laboratory.
Compared with scientific research funds, Coca-Cola is actually more familiar with the expenses of publicity and marketing. Today, in China, there are not many sports and entertainment stars to sponsor. The expenditure of 150,000 US dollars is also an optional solution for scientific research geniuses.
The most important thing is the background relationship established by Yang Rui. The position of the GMP committee alone has a considerable influence on food and pharmaceutical companies. Of course, the members of the GMP committee in the 1980s were far less than the appetite of $150,000. Only scholars of Yang Rui dared to open their mouths and bite them in one bite.
In fact, if a stable second-order scholar like Yang Rui is placed in Europe and the United States, it is extremely simple to find a company to beg for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Although the conditions in China are limited, the basic conditions are gradually met.
Su Xiankai didn't understand very much, so he felt relieved and asked carefully: "Then will we stay in the hotel for a week?"
Yang Rui did not say it explicitly, but his idea of the Nobel Prize is not a secret in the laboratory.
For researchers in the laboratory, it would be great that Yang Rui could win the Nobel Prize.
The gap between the Nobel Prize winner's laboratory and the ordinary laboratory is just like the gap between the Olympic champion team and the ordinary training team. In fact, it is not only that hundreds of Olympic champions can be born every four years in the world, but in four years, even 50 Nobel Prize winners can be born.
The only difference is that the career of an Olympic champion is always short, and once the Nobel Prize is awarded to a scholar, his academic second spring will sprout immediately. If he is lucky, he can usually thrive until his 80s and 90s.
For example, Comrade Sanger's anecdote includes the following. After he won the Nobel Prize at the age of 40, he was still on the front line of academics. When he won the Nobel Prize at the age of 62, he was still on the front line of academics. Until one day in 1983, he was doing experiments. As he was doing it, he suddenly said to himself, "I am old enough." So he left the laboratory, returned home, and never returned to the laboratory.
Sanger lived to 2013, witnessing the genetic research from zero to existence, personally sent humans into the gene era, and deeply participated in the human genome project. At least academically, he was a happy old man.
Sanger Laboratory also became one of the best biology laboratories in the UK because of his reasons.
Researchers who came from Sanger Laboratory, like researchers from Lengquan Harbor, are all qualifications that can be used to show off.
If Yang Rui won the Nobel Prize, the Peking University Ion Channel Laboratory will undoubtedly be the first-class laboratory in China, and his qualifications to work in the Peking University Ion Channel Laboratory will be very different.
Therefore, Su Xiankai and others all agreed with Yang Rui's Swedish itinerary, although they didn't know what Yang Rui was thinking.
Yang Rui actually didn't know what he should think.
His plan was originally based on Ambassador Ling's cooperation. Now, without the help of the embassy, Yang Rui was sweating all over the head and was helpless.
What he lacks the most is that he has no suitable channels to introduce himself to the Swedish scientific community. He can't call Caroline Medical College by himself. He said, I happened to be in Stockholm, should we come out to meet?
He doesn't know anyone about Caroline Medical School.
Yang Rui's mind was constantly twisting, but it was not revealed at all.
He gently patted Su Xiankai on the shoulder and said, "Our expected trip in Sweden will take more than a month, so in the first week, I adapted to the environment and became busy. If you think about living such a life, you will never have to do it."
"I'm not afraid of being busy." Su Xiankai said, and then asked in a low voice: "Director Yang, do you think the hotel we stayed in is so good that the people in the embassy dare not take over."
"There may be factors in this regard." Yang Rui nodded slightly.
"Then let's change the same one?"
"Let's talk about it when this week passes." Yang Rui didn't think the core problem was hotels. Although China is poor now, its diplomatic expenditures are still acceptable. With the support of Joe, the Swedish Embassy's most worried about should not be the funding issue.
"We have to open the situation by ourselves." Yang Rui returned to the room after breakfast, lay on the bed, and started talking to himself.
Jing Yulan read the English version of the fashion magazine delivered by the hotel, raised her head in surprise and asked, "How do you want to open up the situation?"
"Amusementist Ling can't count on it anymore. It's good that it's too conspicuous to have an ambassador-level figure directly coming forward." Yang Rui also thought for a long time and said: "When the Japanese used this trick, it was before World War II. The media was not so developed, and the Nobel Prize received so much attention. We cannot copy it."
"kindness?"
"I think the counselor who came here today is pretty good." Yang Rui paused for a moment and said, "It doesn't have to be necessary. There are many low-level officials in the embassy, and many of them can play a role. We only need one with an official identity."
Jing Yulan turned her head and thought for a while, and suddenly said, "I remember Uncle Guo is in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Do you remember Uncle Guo Wei?"
"Of course, I've looked for him before."
"Uncle Guo Wei was very impressed by you. He said that the foreign exchange coupons and money you sent there saved several of their lives." Jing Yulan smiled and said, "Let's ask him how it is."
Yang Rui nodded immediately and said, "Good idea. We have to find an embassy official close to us, as long as we can afford the event."
In a blink of an eye, Yang Rui said with some regret: "I should have thought of it earlier. I just called the ambassador and believed the other party and thought how good my preparations were."
"You haven't come out before. Why do you think you'll get so many? There will always be omissions. Just make up for it." Jing Yulan said comforting words, then laughed, saying, "Ambassador Ling will be shocked."
