Chapter 198 Luck
"Professor Yu, can't the University of Science and Technology of China chemically synthesize coenzyme q10 through solanol?" Director Hai held the phone and sweated in his hands.
The phone sound was a little distorted, but it was clearly stated: "Our institute has no special research on this aspect, but as far as I know, there is no precedent for factory technology in China. The Beijing Institute of Biological Products seems to have done similar projects, you can inquire about it."
"I've called and they have given up on the project." Director Hai tightened the phone, feeling strange.
The project that even the Beijing Institute of Biological Products was actually made by Yang Rui. If it weren't for the precedent of the West Jet factory, he would have thought it was a liar.
But if it weren't for a liar, this technology would be too powerful. No wonder Jelikon easily agreed to reduce the stock, and it did not require technology transfer like the last time.
It seems that they knew that the technology value was too high, so they simply did not discuss the issue of technology transfer.
Perhaps, I hope that after the factory is put into production, I will steal the craftsmanship from it?
Director Hai was amused by his own thoughts, and then he felt proud. Foreigners stole the stolen knowledge from China. Domestic magazines and newspapers like to write such stories, but only those in professional fields know how big the gap is between China and foreign countries now.
The 10-year waste of time has brought about more than ten years of backwardness, it should be twenty or thirty years. In the field of biotechnology, China's technology is still at, or in other words, the peak of China's technology is at the artificial synthesis of insulin.
However, artificial synthetic insulin in the 1960s was no longer rare in the 1980s, but in China, not many people could replicate this experiment.
Professor Yu took it for granted and said with a smile: "It's a pity to give up, it's not surprising. In the past two years, there have been too many projects cut, and coenzyme q10 is not an important drug related to the national economy and people's livelihood."
"Then you said, if the University of Science and Technology of China or the Beijing Institute of Biological Products restarts the project, how long will it take to see the results?"
"Our school will not do this project." Professor Yu's cheerful voice came and said with a smile: "Our college's current goal is to track the latest international basic research, such as biological macromolecules, stem cells, genomic functional groups, etc. The production of coenzyme q10 is of application nature. Even if there is a national funding, it may not necessarily be possible to withdraw personnel."
"The Beijing Institute of Biological Products Restarts the project, how long do you think it will take to do it?"
"This is hard to say."
"Professor Yu, we are so familiar with each other, so you can analyze it. I can know how to make a decision." Director Hai said a little. Although he is in charge of the sales of raw materials and refined chemicals nationwide, he only has four departments and more than 20 people. One of them has no one who can do research. Whenever he encounters such a thing, he will ask a familiar professor.
Professor Yu is also willing to maintain a mutually beneficial relationship with Director Hai. He pondered for a moment and said, "I can't do an analysis for others. I'll guess. If this technology is restarted, whether it can be researched is actually a bit based on luck."
“How to say it?”
"With 20 or 30 years of laboratory technology, why can't factory conversion be carried out? There are many reasons. The main point is that the nature of Coenzyme q10 is relatively special and its intermediates are not stable enough. Therefore, laboratory technology cannot be used directly in factories. Factory production means that it needs to open a new path. Through solanol, substance a is produced and then converted into substances b, c, d. Finally, to Coenzyme q10, the abcd in it must be a stable substance. Do you think it is easy or not?" Professor Yu taught the students some tone.
Director Hai listened very seriously and asked: "I don't understand technology very much. I just want to ask, isn't other factory-based production technologies the same?"
"Not all, some laboratory technology can be used directly in factories because the route it takes in the laboratory and the intermediate products it passes are suitable for factories. Let me give you an example. Chemical synthesis is like going from one place to another. The intermediate products are the bridges you want to pass by, and there are four intermediate products, which are four bridges. Laboratory technology is like walking, any bridge, a pontoon bridge, a wooden bridge, and a stone bridge. Researchers do not force it. When encountering a wooden bridge, use a wooden bridge, use a stone bridge, and can pass it with a pontoon bridge. Factory production is like trucks pulling goods, and its conditions are harsh. At least it must be a stone bridge. If the factory is large in scale, it must be a railway bridge. Do you understand?"
"That is to say, some laboratory technologies happen to encounter stone bridges or above, and Coenzyme Q10 technologies are all wooden bridges and floating bridges?"
"That's what it means, but it's not all. Think about it, even if the first three bridges are stone bridges and the fourth bridge is not stone bridges, you still can't pass, you have to go back to the third, or the second, or even the first bridge and start over. If you can't find the road to the full stone bridge, this synthesis solution will never be used. The semi-chemical synthesis laboratory technology of Coenzyme Q10 has been around for a long time, which means that many people have explored the way, but it's not possible now, which means that it's very difficult. If you want to know how long it will take to do it, I don't think anyone dares to guarantee it."
Director Hai was calculating in his heart, and at the same time, he was amazed at Yang Rui's level again.
He doesn't understand technology very well, but he is a person who knows the profession. If one skill is successful once, it is difficult to say this the second time.
However, Director Hai didn't see anything after all, so he asked tentatively: "Professor Yu, what do you think if I say that a student has produced this technology?"
"Has a student made it? Which school?"
"I haven't verified it yet." Director Hai told a small lie and said, "Do you think it's possible that a person, a student, has solved the factory chemical synthesis route?"
The other end of the phone was silent for a full ten seconds before Professor Yu's voice continued to come: "If there are suitable equipment, instruments, systematic training, knowledge reserves, and luck, it is not impossible to do it by one person. Students are strong and weak, not that they cannot do it, but it is not easy... Let me say one more thing, if someone can complete this technology, whether it is a student or a farmer, domestic research institutes should be able to open the door.
Director Hai was calculating and said, "I understand. If the technology is confirmed to be true, are you interested in taking a look?"
Jielikang reduced its shares from 50% to 45%, not simply by 5%, but by giving up its controlling stake. If Yang Rui and Guoyi foreign trade unite, it can determine the direction of the new joint venture factory.
Director Hai believes that if Yang Rui is brought into the system and entered a certain research institute, the control over the foreign trade of the Chinese medicine will be greatly improved.
This idea was considered as early as the West Jet factory period, and now it has only strengthened this idea.
Director Hai's attitude towards Yang Rui was extremely kind.
First of all, Yang Rui has won a certain political and economic status, and is a Huarui Pharmaceutical Company. Although the empty shell is like a leather bag company, it has multiple patents in it and will not be ignored in any part of the country. Nowadays, it is not that people can never imagine that registering a company in Hong Kong can happily work as a Hong Kong-funded enterprise, but that they cannot use foreign exchange to do such things.
Secondly, Director Hai is increasingly aware of the difficulty of producing coenzyme q10 by semi-synthetic method. This is something that even the Beijing Institute of Biological Products can't guarantee it. Yang Rui made it. Whether it is a dog luck or a peerless genius, Director Hai thinks it is amazing.
Third, it is because Director Hai really needs someone to help him judge the conditions for building a crude solanol factory. In this regard, foreigners are not trustworthy, but his subordinates are of average quality, and Yang Rui becomes the best choice.
Although he could not give Yang Rui a high reward, Director Hai served Yang Rui as comfortably as possible. The first thing he did was to move Yang Rui from the front building of Pingjiang Hotel to the back building.
At the same time, smart local enterprises seem to have noticed something.
