Chapter 1321 Don't need any money

Yang Rui came to the laboratory after running and was sweating in the dressing room before he came to the small cafeteria for dinner.

This is the advantage of being the top leader of the unit. As long as the unit has money, you can install any facilities you want and eat whatever breakfast you want.

Yang Rui's most common breakfast is tofu brain, and the one that is made in the small cafeteria is tofu brain.

In order to make this tofu brain well, the master has to come to the cafeteria in advance, grind the beans carefully with the mill, and then make one procedure after another to eat the soft, tender and smooth tofu brain in the morning.

It sounds a bit hard, but now the canteens of all units are operated in this way. Even if the canteen of Peking University provides tofu brains, the masters of the small canteen of the ion channel laboratory will not use it. Otherwise, what is the value of a chef? What is the dignity of a chef?

Yang Rui ordered a small bowl of tofu brain, and then chose half a piece of oil cake, a fried dough stick, and a small plate of cold dishes with it. He silently brought it to the table and couldn't wait to eat it.

Marjori was waiting quietly, while trying hard to let the oil cake in the esophagus slide into the stomach.

Yang Rui slurped the oil cake, fried dough sticks and tofu brain, and left a quarter of the cold dish. Yang Rui thought about it, walked to the counter and ordered a quarter of the oil cake and a small bowl of tofu brain.

Louisa was eating bread, drinking milk, looking at Yang Rui, feeling very happy.

Except for Marjorie who was in trouble.

Louisa glared at Marjorie, knocked on her watch, and said, "If you have something to say, please don't affect our Yang Rui's work. He won't accept guests after dinner."

Marjori murmured in a low voice: "Can you avoid it?"

"If you don't want to say it, forget it." Louisa had no intention of giving in.

Marjori said with discomfort: "You look at people like this, he might think you want to eat him."

"It's a pity that he has a girlfriend." Louisa said regretfully: "I can only take a look."

Marjorie felt that the conversation with Louisa could not continue, and it seemed that nothing everyone said was the same.

Marjoli swallowed hard, then coughed and said, "Mr. Yang Rui, what a coincidence."

"Yeah, Dr. Marjorie. Dr. Louisa." Yang Rui turned around when he heard the voice, smiled and said, "I'm so hungry that I didn't see you."

Did he really see it, what does it matter?

Marjori smiled and said it was okay, and then said, "Mr. Yang Rui, I thought about it for a long time yesterday and have a plan that I want to propose and discuss with you."

"Oh. Please say." Yang Rui said as he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, folded it back and put it in his pocket.

When Yang Rui first used a handkerchief, he was a little uncomfortable, but after using it for a while, he could feel the convenience of the handkerchief. Compared to a tissue, the handkerchief felt much better.

Of course, blowing your nose is not the scope of the handkerchief. For those who need this, it is better to turn to tissues.

Marjori glanced at Louisa and saw that she was still staring at Yang Rui boldly, so she could only speak helplessly: "Mr. Yang Rui, Peking University Ion Channel Laboratory can overcome two difficulties in a row. I mean the conformation of the G-protein-coupled receptor and its crystal structure, which is very rare. I guess what the Ion Channel Laboratory is conducting research on the three-dimensional structure of G-protein-coupled receptor, and I hope to express and support it as much as possible."

"Support was received." Yang Rui ate the last bit of cold dishes and started to clean up the plate.

Marjori hurriedly said, "I'm not referring to simple verbal support."

"Is that true?" Yang Rui pondered for a moment and said, "But I don't need any other support."

The support the laboratory needs is nothing more than wealth, power, people and technology.

Finance is an indispensable driving force for the laboratory.

Power is the cornerstone of laboratory operations. Whether it is law or policy, it is a huge risk faced by laboratories. The more obvious experimental equipment such as nuclear physics and reactors are obviously not something you can build just by wanting to build. Policy risks in biology are also frequent, from cloning to clinical medicine, from gene debugging to genetic modification, there are a lot of policies, laws and even moral ethics debates.

Support from people and technology is more common in the industry. What should a large pharmaceutical company do if it encounters a bottleneck of talent and technology? Whether it is acquisition or poaching, it is very common.

However, Yang Rui was not interested in these four items.

Needless to say, power, people and technology, it is difficult for Marjori to provide leisurely, and the funds are difficult to impress Yang Rui.

His laboratory is sufficiently funded - according to the standards of world-class laboratories, there is still room for reserve funds, but Yang Rui has basically completed the project of G protein coupled receptors, subsequent repeated experiments, etc., and only spent change.

It is too early to accumulate funds for the next project.

Marjori did not expect Yang Rui to refuse so simply. His ears automatically filtered Louisa's chuckle and said, "Mr. Yang Rui, I can help you find the donation with zero request."

Louisa widened her eyes and said unexpectedly: "You are so big in betting?"

Marjoli still ignored him, looked at Yang Rui and said, "Would you like? I can find at least $2 million."

Yang Rui pondered for a few seconds and asked, "What are your requirements?"

“I can work with Houston…”

"Then you have to talk to Houston." Yang Rui interrupted Marjori's words in an instant.

Marjorie had a bitter face, and Houston asked him to talk to Yang Rui, which was obviously being beaten.

Louisa said curiously at this time: "Yang Rui, don't you need funds?"

$2 million is a lot of money for researchers in any country. In movies in the 1980s, a quarter of a million dollars can trigger a two-hour bloody crime.

Especially donations with zero demand are rare as of now.

In this world, at least half of scientists, institutes and universities live by donating money. However, the weaker individuals and institutions have to bear the more obligations they have to receive donations.

Famous universities like Harvard and Yale can proudly say that I do not accept any additional conditions for donations, and then make a donation of billions of dollars a year. If it is for the University of Mississippi, it will be difficult to lift the heavy neck. They often have to name buildings, designate research projects, enrollment quotas, and even affiliated institutions to exchange for not-high donations.

Research institutes and universities that wait until they go, it will be even more difficult to resist the temptation of donations.

As for the entire market, there are very few liquid zero-demand donations, and most of them are small donations. Louisa couldn't imagine where Marcholi could get $2 million.

It is also because of this that Louisa didn't want Yang Rui to give up this rare funding.

She was worried that Yang Rui would not understand the joints, so she specifically reminded her.

Marcholi looked at Louisa gratefully and said quickly: "Even if the ion channel laboratory is not short of funds at present, it is not harmful to reserve more. Besides, the three-dimensional structure of G protein-coupled receptors will cost more money."

Yang Rui made another thought statement.

Marjoli looked at Yang Rui nervously.

Qin Xiucheng looked at Yang Rui with his eyes blank.

He could understand every English word in the conversation between the two, but he didn't understand what was going on now.

Why would anyone be willing to give Yang Rui money with zero conditions? Or $2 million!

Two million dollars!

"Forget it, I still don't need it." Yang Rui's answer made Qin Xiucheng even more collapsed.

Marjoli was even more shocked: "Mr. Yang Rui, this is a zero-term donation of $2 million, you just need to use it."

"The donor may not have the conditions, but you have it." Yang Rui smiled.

"My request will definitely be in your interests." Marjoli was anxious.

Yang Rui shook his head.

"Mr. Yang Rui, the projects of G protein-coupled receptors are all gold-swalking monsters. Instead of looking for funds later, you might as well get a zero-request donation first..." Marjori said slowly and looked up suspiciously, looking at Yang Rui, and said: "Unless, you have made breakthrough progress in the three-dimensional structure of G protein-coupled receptors?"

He didn't dare to think too much, this was the limit he could think of.

Considering that Yang Rui completed the second phase of the project a few months ago, it seems that it is possible to make a breakthrough in the research of three-dimensional structure.

Although the chance is slim.

Yang Rui was just thinking about whether to leak more information - while the Swedish delegation was still in China, it was absolutely right to gain more reputation. When they returned to China, there was more information from all aspects, and they would not be able to empathize with it.

Seeing that Ma Qiaoli guessed something, Yang Rui stopped hesitating and said, "I have sent the paper on three-dimensional structure to Science."

Marcholi was shocked and could not speak. Louisa was even more impressed, more shocked than seeing Marcholi swallowing oil cakes.
