Chapter 332 Invitation
Wang Yongyou values Yang Rui, and other professors also value students. Everyone wants to recommend people to Richard.
Because this is a shortcut.
The one who followed Wang Yong's back was Lu Yueping, another female professor of Niu Brand in the Department of Biology. She was also a scholar who had been to the United States. She said proudly: "Richard, I recommend my student Zhu Jiahao to you. This year, I am in the third year of college. Not only did he have very good grades, but under my guidance, he completed a very skilled paper and published it in "Plant Science". The topic you posted this time is exactly in line with his learning direction. I want to show you specially..."
Before Wang Yong, Lu Yueping gave Richard a few papers, then turned around and smiled, "Professor Wang, don't you mind?"
"A good man won't fight with a woman." Wang Yongyang made way out.
Richard smiled and looked at the two of them, and said while looking at the test paper: "You know, the purpose of my recruitment of interns is to assist me in doing the experiment. This is a one-time job, which is shorter than a year, and maybe only half a year, and I can't promise anything."
"Zhu Jiahao has a junior year this year and has one and a half years to graduate, and the time is just right." Lu Yueping continued to recommend.
Richard nodded with a smile and said, "The answer to the test paper is indeed perfect. Did he complete it himself?"
"I can guarantee this that I will never give him the question. Besides, I don't know the question." Lu Yueping's expression became serious.
"You don't know the question either? Oh, right. However, I don't mean to distrust you. I just hope you can convey the correct message to students, such as my management regulations for the laboratory and my requirements for interns. I can't be sure of my stay in China, so the internship time is not fixed." Richard was a little verbose, and his speaking speed was even more anxious.
Lu Yueping and Wang Yong nodded together, then stared at him.
Richard smiled and lowered his head, finished reading the test paper they brought, and said, "I agree with you. Yang Rui and Zhu Jiahao can be my interns."
"It won't disappoint you." Lu Yueping was very happy. Although Chad repeatedly reiterated that there would not be any promises, this was a good opportunity after all.
For Chinese students in the 1980s, government-sent students were the only way out, and it was more difficult to enter prestigious schools. Even a letter of recommendation from Richard would be quite useful when everyone had equal opportunities.
The people recommended by Lu Yueping and Wang Yong were recognized by Richard and were satisfied. Wang Yong then took out the test papers of others and said, "These are the test papers I taught in the class. The rest will be taken in the afternoon. You can take a look first."
Lu Yueping also took out some test papers.
Richard sat down and looked at it with a smile. He was preparing to recruit three interns in total. Lu Yueping and Wang Yong each recommended one person, which means that only one of the remaining students had the opportunity to stand out. This is naturally unfair, but Richard didn't care.
afternoon.
Wang Yong called Yang Rui specifically, first instructed him in a soft voice, and then said: "Richard is preparing to recruit several interns. The additional questions on the test paper you did were given by Richard. You answered very well. I will help you with the items. Richard agreed to recruit you as his intern."
Yang Rui was anxious at the time: "Isn't this a flirting with a tiger? I won't go."
"Don't be anxious first." Wang Yong pressed his hands and said, "This is a good thing. First of all, Richard's laboratory conditions are very good. The school arranges laboratories for him according to the standards of a first-level professor. Richard himself will also apply for some equipment and funds. In addition, Richard is a professor at the University of Berkeley, California. If you do it well, will not be a natural result for applying to study at the University of Berkeley, California in the future? Don't you want to study abroad?"
"Richard is not so kind." Yang Rui didn't believe it at all.
Wang Yong is a good man. He patted Yang Rui on the shoulder and said, "People's hearts are full of flesh. If you accompany Richard to do the experiment for half a year, he will definitely change his mind about you. Besides, since he agrees to join his team, he doesn't care about your rudeness two days ago."
"Why is that rude?" Yang Rui muttered and shook his head, "I don't join Richard's team, I have my own things to do."
"You child is still very stubborn." Wang Yong sighed and said, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Don't think you get it casually."
"I know."
"Don't you want to study abroad?"
"Not that." Yang Rui actually didn't want to go, but this did not conform to mainstream values, so he hid it.
The current postgraduate education in China is very shallow, and doctoral education is even shallow, which is completely incomparable to the level of education in Europe and the United States. On the other hand, studying abroad is actually encouraged. If any student can pass the postgraduate entrance examination, it means that the country will pay you 200,000,000 or even more. In addition, the affordable living conditions abroad and the salary level of dozens or hundreds of times. This opportunity is naturally something that everyone strives for.
Wang Yong took a breath and said, "If you want to study abroad, you cannot give up this opportunity. You must know that the professors at the University of California have very great power. Richard's recommendation letter is valuable. Although it is not difficult for you to pass the public international student exam, having a recommendation letter may increase your chances of going to a prestigious school..."
"Professor Wang..."
"Huh?" Wang Yong, who was talking vigorously, stopped.
"What are the requirements in Richard's lab? How do patents and creativity be allocated?"
"Ah, I didn't ask about this, I usually allocate it as much as possible." Wang Yong obviously didn't think that patents were important, so he turned around and educated Yang Rui, saying: "As long as the laboratory conditions are good, isn't the patents required? Don't be too obsessed with these useless things."
Yang Rui was quite helpless about this.
Later professors, especially professors in the Department of Biology, were almost working for patents throughout their lives. The ultimate goal of a professor or graduate student was to develop a valuable patent and then wear Armani every day to teach students.
Pharmaceutical companies also highly encourage patent research for university researchers, because universities always have an advantage in basic research, and in the view of professors, extremely valuable patents are also unprofitable for pharmaceutical companies. Therefore, they would rather spend hundreds of millions of dollars in sponsorship every year than conduct relevant research on their own.
Of course, pharmaceutical companies have always been rich, and it is normal to look down on millions or tens of millions of dollars. If a professor with an annual salary of tens of thousands of dollars can lick carrots worth millions of dollars, it is also very satisfying.
Therefore, since the 1980s, the pattern of professors and researchers taking patents and pharmaceutical companies taking all gradually formed.
China's patent system has always been backward, and it is normal for Wang Yong not to understand. He still has the idea of the older generation, and changed the language education of Yang Rui, saying: "What we do research is ultimately about doing basic research. We have to look far, but we have to look closer..."
"Professor, I really don't have time to be Richard's intern. Even if I don't care about patents, I have other jobs to be busy with, such as Professor Tang's lab and the projects I applied for myself."
“Have you applied for acceptance?”
Yang Rui was speechless for a moment.
Wang Yong said again: "There are other people in Tang's laboratory, so you don't have to be busy. Studying abroad is a good thing, a big thing. If you are embarrassed to say it, I'll tell Lao Tang."
"No, no..." Yang Rui quickly stopped Wang Yong, thought for a while, and simply said: "I want to do my own thing, and I don't want to be an intern anymore."
"Sharpening a knife will not delay chopping wood..."
"Professor Wang, I really decided." Yang Rui interrupted Wang Yong repeatedly and his attitude was firm.
Wang Yong's persuasion failed and turned around to explain to Richard that he thought Richard would say a few sarcastic words.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Richard took the initiative to say, "I'll go and invite Yang Rui in person."
In amazement, Wang Yong couldn't help but admire Richard and called him: "Only talent is to take advantage of it."
When the leaders of the Department of Biology heard about this, they felt that there was a glimpse of their face. The students in their department were attracted by foreign professors and wanted to visit the cottage three times. This is naturally a very good thing, which further shows that the department's education is good.
So the department leader simply went over to the school's publicity department and followed Richard to "invitation" Yang Rui, preparing to film a good show of "three reassurances and three reassurances" and "suffering them again."
