Chapter 275 Huarui Laboratory
Yang Rui followed Tu Xian and quickly rode his bicycle. Not far south of Peking University, he met Li Zhangzhen, the Hong Kong manager of Huarui Company.
Although Yang Rui owns all the shares of Huarui Company, this is only the second time he has seen Li Zhangzhen. The last time, Guan Shen was the introducer. The two of them met when Yang Rui interviewed Li Zhangzhen.
It was also because of this interview that Li Zhangzhen confirmed that Yang Rui was the manager, but Li Zhangzhen did not know the equity distribution of Huarui Company at all.
Because Huarui Company is wholly owned by Yang Ruikai's offshore company in Cayman, Li Zhangzhen can only guess that Yang Rui owns part of the equity of Huarui Company, so he has gained the trust of the board of directors. After all, Huarui Company owns the equity of two factories, Ruijie and Westjet, and coupled with the patent value and patent authorization of one vote, the profit in each quarter is hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is more than the profits of many Hong Kong foreign trade companies. For mainland residents, it is really impossible to imagine.
Li Zhangzhen received a high salary of 8,000 yuan per month, but if it was exchanged for US dollars, it would be around 1,000 yuan, which made it difficult for him to imagine the fact that Yang Rui owned a company with an annual profit of one million US dollars.
However, because Yang Rui interviewed him and was the only superior who could report directly and to his only superior, Li Zhangzhen showed considerable respect to keep this good job.
In addition to the fact that it has been a bit tiring to negotiate with the Haidian District Government in recent times, Huarui Company's work is very leisurely most of the time, which makes the salary of 8,000 yuan particularly worth it.
"Manager Li." Yang Rui and Li Zhangzhen shook hands gently, then opened the map and said, "Please circle the site for me."
Li Zhangzhen was a little unresponsive for a while. After a while, he smiled and used a pencil to draw the place on the map, saying, "I have been talking to mainland officials recently, and I am a little uncomfortable talking directly."
"Hong Kong should also be polite first. I'm late. Let's finish it early and go back and have a rest."
"Of course. Yes, we finally talked about two pieces of land, one is a warehouse belonging to Haidian District and industrial land. The other is still farmland, and the nature of the land needs to be changed and then compensation is given..."
"Are we responsible for the conversion of farmlands or the government responsible?"
"Of course, the district is responsible, how do you take responsibility?" Tu Xian replied on behalf of the party.
"Will there be troubles in land acquisition?" Yang Rui still remembers the troubles of land occupation in demolition.
Tu Xian didn't understand what Yang Rui was struggling with, and looked at Li Zhangzhen and continued: "The Haidian District Government has a target for agricultural conversion to non-government. As long as each person pays another 2,000 yuan, they will be handled, and they are rushing to ask for it."
"I didn't hear it clearly. I'm giving each person an indicator to convert agricultural non-government, and then 2,000 yuan?"
"Of course it is impossible. Farmers who want to transfer farming to non-targets will pay 2,000 yuan and they will pay it. It is not anyone who wants to pay it. There are only so many places in total... In short, there is no problem with land acquisition. It is originally the country's land, and it is given such a big discount..."
The contracting of households has not yet been launched nationwide, so the current land expropriation is decided by the state. Compared with land, the value of urban household registration is obviously greater, let alone the value of Beijing household registration.
Before Yang Rui could figure out the situation of paying money for land acquisition, Li Zhangzhen interrupted and said, "The site has been selected now. I have seen the warehouse. It was built in the 1960s and is not suitable for use. It should be demolished and rebuilt..."
“What about the cost?”
"No more than RMB 1 million."
"It's $100,000?" The exchange price of large dollars on the black market is even higher.
Li Zhangzhen nodded and said, "In terms of design, I think we can ask a local design institute to do it, because the price is relatively cheap and the structure of the laboratory is relatively simple..."
Yang Rui was mainly listening, but Tu Xian said more because he had participated in two laboratory infrastructure construction and was more familiar with the situation.
Yang Rui was a little regretful about the land area. Because the fixed investment amount was one million yuan, the Haidian District Government only gave 10 acres of land, which was 6,600 square meters, so he lost the joy of hoarding land.
Of course, 10 acres of land will be a lot of money after it is placed. The land that is also "Shangdi" has increased to 1.63 million per acre by 2006 when Baidu entered the market.
However, Yang Rui just had this idea in his mind. The Zhongguancun High-tech Industrial Development Experimental Zone will not be completed until 1988. In the past 10 years, the enterprises here grew freely, covering an area of 10 acres at one go, which is already a lot. If he wants to expand, he will have a place at any time and it is not expensive.
The discussion between Li Zhangzhen and Tu Xian quickly evolved into specific equipment.
Tu Xian found the opportunity to ask: "What kind of laboratory are you going to build? I mean, do you have any plans to do what experiments?"
This is what Tu Xian is most concerned about, and he also wants to borrow Yang Rui's laboratory.
Yang Rui hesitated for a moment and said, "It's right for dna."
"DNA? The equipment about DNA is very expensive." Tu Xian didn't understand Yang Rui's choice very well. If it were him, he would definitely give priority to the experiments in protein, because the theory of protein is relatively mature and the instruments and equipment are much cheaper.
This is a very realistic choice. Although DNA and genes are hot topics in the biological world, proteins were not inferior in China in the 1980s, but the research costs of the two were several times different. For researchers like Tu Xian, applying for funds for protein is difficult enough, and DNA is already a bit unrealistic.
Yang Rui smiled and said, "Someone pays for it, so DNA's choice is not bad either."
"Of course, of course it's very good. Well, if you need an assistant, I can help again." Tu Xian took the opportunity to say to Yang Rui.
"Huarui's laboratory is to sign an agreement, and all patents belong to Huarui." Yang Rui hesitated for a moment and said, "You are from the Iron and Steel Academy now. If you join Huarui as an assistant, there may be a conflict of interest."
"So..." Tu Xian was extremely disappointed.
"Often, if you want to use a laboratory, you can also apply. Of course, just sign the agreement to borrow a laboratory. It is not convenient for you to participate in the experiment I am doing at the moment."
"Okay." Although Tu Xian was a little confused about what experiment Yang Rui was going to do, as long as he could use the laboratory, he was satisfied enough, even if he could only use the late night time.
"Show me the equipment procurement list." Yang Rui turned to Manager Li.
Yang Rui hopes to participate in the human genome project in a few years, so that he must come up with a substantial paper.
However, heavy papers are often accompanied by countless controversies, and debates about the priority of scientific inventions are endless in the history of science and technology. For example, the Newton-Lebniz formula represents a difficult case.
Yang Rui wholly owns Huarui's laboratory, and his goal is to wholly own the patent produced by the laboratory.
If it was an ordinary patent, Yang Rui would not be so concerned, but when he placed his target on PCR, he felt that it would not be an exaggeration to be careful.
The full name of PCR is "polymerase chain reaction". Its function is to significantly increase trace DNA. Whether it is dinosaur fossil DNA in Jurassic Park or trace evidence at the crime scene, as long as there is a slight DNA, it can be amplified through PCR technology.
So, unlike many people mistakenly believe that DNA technology can detect very trace evidence, the fact is that DNA technology can copy trace evidence and thus detect it.
Interestingly, this is not a difficult technology. Although it cannot be said to be simple, compared with the praise that PCR technology finally received, its cost-effectiveness is really too high.
Because in 1993, the inventor of PCR technology won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
About two years of research and about eight years of waiting, then won the Nobel Prize. Such stories were very common in the 19th century and were not rare in the first half of the 20th century, but at the end of the 20th century, this was the case.
The key to winning the Nobel Prize for PCR technology is that it is used too widely and there are too many articles cited and published...
Therefore, there are countless related papers and books in Yang Rui's mind.
Yang Rui only needs a good laboratory, some materials and resources, plus a short period of time to perfectly replicate this result.
Looking at the open space in front of him, he could almost see a Golden Avenue leading to Stockholm.
