Chapter 1190: Wang Qi

So far, only Xu Zhengping is a native associate professor of Peking University in the ion channel laboratory.

He is willing to come here, in addition to leadership arrangements and personal intentions, but also because the ion channel laboratory in the initial construction period needs a deputy. The ion channel laboratory of that day has already produced world-class results. It is one thing to work in such a laboratory, and another thing to be the deputy director.

Since Xu Zhengping, Yang Rui has never recruited native researchers from Peking University. It's not that Peking University is not good enough, but the scholars he wants are more high-end, and he can't provide the resources the other party wants.

The treatment of Peking University and Tsinghua University has always been top-notch in China. Yes, the gap between Peking University and Tsinghua University and other key universities and local universities is exponential. After all, Peking University and Tsinghua University are one of the top universities in the country, and the third-ranked university cannot be counted with one hand. The reputation thus piled up brings countless spiritual and material honors.

As far as scientific research is concerned, a professor or even an associate professor at Tsinghua University and Peking University has too many channels to get funding and support.

The simplest point is that it is very easy for Peking University professors to go to any local province or city, collect funds, and cooperate in a project. This kind of work, those high-tech industrial parks, or the establishment of high-tech companies, are the names of the professors of Peking University or the professors of Hedong University. There are two different calibers in publicity.

Of course, if it's just a difference in resources, there are still ways to overcome it, but Yang Rui's identity is hard for the professors at Peking University to accept.

People in the 1980s still had a good face. The teachers of Peking University were unwilling to work under the hands of students. At least, after Yang Rui graduated from university and stayed in school, it was almost the same to work under him. Although there is only such a year difference, the name is different after all.

Therefore, Yang Rui was finally able to recruit two associate professors from Tsinghua University, but he could not find suitable personnel from Peking University.

However, since Yang Rui set up the banner of "g-protein coupled receptors", the ideas of Peking University professors and associate professors have more or less changed.

"G protein-coupled receptors" is the domain of kings in the biological world.

To raise the flag of G protein-coupled receptors is to raise the flag of kings.

Under the king's banner, there is fame and righteousness.

Just to open up the field of "g protein-coupled receptors" for China, such a sentence is enough to attract applause at the biology conference.

Not everyone can erect the Wang Banner.

PCR is Yang Rui's biggest reliance on being qualified to set up the king's banner. If PCR was an amazing new technology two years ago, now in 1986, anyone with a discerning eye can see that PCR is a Nobel Prize-winning achievement.

Although a Nobel Prize-level achievement may not be able to win a Nobel Prize, but looking at China, how long does it take for a Nobel Prize-level achievement?

Of course, it is not that there is a Nobel Prize-level achievement, and it is eligible to open a "g-protein coupled receptor".

You have to have capital to make a film. If you want others to work hard, you have to be able to afford the money.

At this point, the story of Yang Rui paying $60,000 out of his own pocket has long been spread.

There is another sequelae of this incident, which is to let everyone know that it is possible to make money by doing scientific research, and there are many scholars who want to learn Yang Rui's posture.

The professor who was sitting in the conference room felt like he was sitting on a needle cushion.

Running a laboratory is the same as starting a company. First, you have to have subordinates to work. The better your subordinates, the higher the profits you can bring, and the more resources you can strip.

Those who are eligible to sit on the academic committee are all professors of Peking University, and all of them must be professors with their own laboratories. Each of them, even if there is no associate professor, has a lecturer as an assistant. If it is not possible, they will also absorb full-time researchers...

But no matter who it is, no one is willing to give up their subordinates to Yang Rui.

Just like Yang Rui would not give up his subordinates to other laboratories.

The atmosphere in the conference room became tense.

Everyone is thinking about how to refuse Yang Rui's request, or what kind of conditions to come up with to win over his subordinates.

Honestly, no one could come up with a practical way to do it.

The funding of 60,000 US dollars is a huge bg in itself. Except for a very small number of influential academicians, the scale of this funding is completely beyond the level of the domestic scientific research community.

The reason why the professors here are deeply scruples about Yang Rui is that they don't want Peking University to give Yang Rui matching funds.

The matching funds are only 20 to 30%, and there are many people present to share, so it can be seen that 60,000 US dollars in the original state is a lot of money.

Yang Rui looked at the expressions on everyone's face and knew what they were thinking, but they just didn't.

Professor Cai couldn't stand it anymore, coughed twice, and said: "Yang Rui, today is the meeting of the academic committee, and you are a non-voting member, so just come up with the suggestions you think, and let's discuss it later, don't be fooled."

"Yes." Yang Rui has always given Professor Cai a lot of face.

He sat down and lowered his head, put his hands on his thighs, and said politely: "My idea is actually relatively simple. The field of g protein-coupled receptors is a large area, and it requires more manpower to implement it." , The scientific research group I am reorganizing now has only 4 main researchers, plus I only have 5 people, I want to increase some manpower."

"Is the current establishment of the ion channel laboratory seven or eight?" Professor Cai asked.

Yang Rui nodded and said, "But it's still not enough."

"

"How many do you want?"

Yang Rui smiled, "My consideration is mainly not on the number of researchers."

"Oh?"

"You know, because the Ion Channel Laboratory was established late, there have been relatively few assistant researchers. If we only talk about the number of researchers, there is no need to expand urgently, but I think the sooner you get assistant researchers, the better." Yang Rui It's more tactful, but everyone present can understand that Yang Rui wants more scientific research dogs.

Professor Cai was convinced by Yang Rui almost immediately.

In the laboratory, research dogs are an underappreciated but essential human being.

In scientific research laboratories, there are actually too many repetitive tasks. In other words, there are too many dirty jobs that need to be done.

The scientific research dogs in the scientific research laboratory are like the junior lawyers in the law firm or the workers on the construction site. They are the busiest group of people, sweat the most, spend the most time, and the rewards are completely out of proportion to the effort.

The reason for this, on the one hand, is that the career prospects of these jobs have the advantage of being far away from the current job, just like a construction site worker, once he becomes a big worker, his salary can double, and if he is more powerful, he can earn three or four times the salary. Salary, on the other hand, is also due to the strong substitution of these jobs.

For example, scientific research dogs, since they are not even human beings, the cost of training is naturally not high. Usually, students who have undergone systematic undergraduate education can work relatively proficiently after a little practice for a year or two. It would be even better, in essence, it is similar to a college student soldier, and the training time is similar. College soldiers can retire in a few years, and so can scientific research dogs.

However, although scientific research dogs are not valued, there are no dogs at all, or the number is insufficient.

From a macro point of view, there are plenty of scientific research dogs, especially in places like Peking University, where the labs are open to income, and a basket can be collected in a few days.

But in terms of the environment of the ion channel laboratory alone, it cannot really be opened.

The main problem is that the ion channel laboratory does not have a master's or doctoral supervisor, so it can only recruit some undergraduates who are doing graduation projects, or they are pure scientific research dogs who are temporary workers. The effect of this is naturally not as good as that of graduate students who have systematic practice.

The level of postgraduates is not high or low, and the service period is much longer than that of undergraduates. Except for evildoers like Yang Rui, normal undergraduates can only use it at the end of their junior year. Those who can use it at the beginning of their third year are all extremely high-end. talent. In contrast, it can take a full three years to recruit a graduate student casually, and it takes almost another three years if you take a doctorate exam. Six-year non-commissioned officers are as stupid as pigs, and their majors are better than ordinary two-year conscripts, not to mention the situation of concentrating on selection.

Yang Rui's "Ion Channel Laboratory was established late" is just a reason put forward at the meeting. In fact, it is because he himself is not qualified to recruit graduate students. In China, there are very few directors of first-class laboratories who are not master supervisors. After a few years, it is unique.

In the current environment, Yang Rui is still not qualified to recruit graduate students, Xu Zhengping and others are still associate professors, and they are not qualified to recruit graduate students. There is only one solution left: add one or two master supervisors to the ion channel laboratory. .

All the people here are logical people, thinking about it along the lines of Yang Rui's words, everyone was shocked!

In the Biology Department of Peking University, those present are the ones who are qualified to be master or doctoral supervisors.

In other words, Yang Rui didn't want to poach the people under them at all, he just wanted to poach the people present.

Looking at Yang Rui's scrutiny of everyone, a group of middle-aged and elderly scholars present were all cold, as if they were hung on the slaughterhouse.

Most importantly, the ion channel laboratory is really qualified to recruit one or two master and doctoral supervisors.

For a laboratory that is qualified to raise the king's flag, what do you count as a few doctoral supervisors?

"Yang Rui, how many assistant researchers do you want?" Professor Cai decided to ask more clearly.

Yang Rui gave an affirmative answer: "I think it's better to have more than one person..."

Personally, it is not something that undergraduates can fill in, and Yang Rui's request is tactful and clear.

Professor Cai coughed heavily again, not knowing what to say.

"I still have $330,000 in funds. The $30,000 cannot be moved, and the rest of the funds can be maneuvered. In addition, there should be some spare funds for the 863 project I applied for, etc. I think it will be used for It is no problem to fill in the newly added personnel." Yang Rui continued to be euphemistic, but he gave out all the conditions.

In the circle of full professors, $30,000 is a moderate figure. If it is higher, high-end professors will disdain this number, if it is lower, weaker full professors will not be able to reach this number at all.

Under the king's banner, there are towering battlements and protruding grain and grass.

The golden grains flowed out, glowing with a seductive light.

I recently studied at the Lu Xun Academy of Literature, and the update is a bit late, sorry.
