I just want to be a quiet scholar

Chapter 562
Shen Qi bought a Tesla with his own money and gave it to Lao Yan to congratulate Lao Yan on his successful marriage.

Lao Yan got married on time, and after getting married, he went on a business trip to Nangang Obaiqi Pharmaceutical.

Shen Qi personally reviewed many resumes from all over the world. The owners of these resumes are all chemical researchers, both Chinese and foreigners.

Among them was a resume that surprised Shen Qi. The owner of the resume was Charles Barton, a Nobel Prize nominee and professor at Stanford University.

Professor Barton was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry last year, but unfortunately, he did not win.

Even if he didn't win the award, being nominated for Nova is enough to prove Professor Barton's academic strength.

Shen Qi does not exclude foreign scholars. He himself has worked as a foreign scholar in the United States for many years.

The center's global reputation has spread, and Shen Qi would not be surprised that there are candidates for the Philippine Prize and Nuowu in the fields of mathematics and physics.Mr. Weiteng holds the Philippine Award and Noble, and he works as a consultant in the center.

In the field of chemistry, Shen Qi did not expect to be able to attract Nova nominees to submit their resumes.

Stanford University's chemistry major has long been ranked among the top five in the world, and has trained many Nobel Prize winners.

Professor Barton is under 50 years old this year and is in the golden period of his academic career.

"This Professor Button is a character." Shen Qi contacted Professor Button via email, and the two agreed to hold a video conference call.

At 9 a.m. China time, Shen Qi saw Professor Button in the video.

"Professor Button, I'm very glad to have this chat."

"Professor Shen, I hope to go to China and work with you."

Shen Qi and Barton have never met before, why did Professor Barton express such a strong will?

Is it because of my personal charm?Shen Qi asked: "I want to know what you really think, Professor Button?"

"Regarding the research on macrocyclic compounds, I can't apply for enough research funds in the United States. I know that Professor Shen's research funds are very sufficient, so I hope we can cooperate."

Oh, I see.

Shen Qi understood that Professor Button couldn't survive in America, so he wanted to come to China.

After all, Professor Barton is a nominee, not a winner.

If he is a Nuohua winner, he will get support from various resources in any place.

In the field of organic chemistry, the research direction of macrocyclic compounds belongs to the nature of "researching for a lifetime may not yield results, but once results are achieved, it will be awesome".

Shen Qi is fairly familiar with the scientific research system in the United States.

The scientific research funding of American professors needs to be sponsored by themselves, either from the US government or from enterprises.

The research direction of "researching for a lifetime may not yield results, but once the results are achieved will be awesome", in fact, it is not easy to get sponsorship for many years.

Shen Qi's understanding is that Professor Barton encountered a break in the funding chain on the road to the research of "Once you get results, you will be awesome".

"Professor Barton, how much research funding do you need for the research on macrocyclic compounds?" Shen Qi asked.

Professor Patton: "Five million a year, I mean dollars."

Shen Qi showed a surprised expression: "Water?"

Seeing Shen Qi's shocked look, Professor Button on the other side of the ocean hurriedly said, "400 million is fine!"

Really, you can't play scientific research without money.

Shen Qi has more than 500 million U.S. dollars in research funds that can be mobilized. He has also studied macrocyclic compounds. He thinks that the annual investment of 800 million U.S. dollars in this research direction is too little. At least [-] million U.S. dollars is needed to start, otherwise there will be nothing No grades.

There are very few domestic scholars who study macrocyclic compounds. Shen Qi and his Yanda organic chemistry textbook clearly stated: "One of the principles of organic synthesis is to avoid macrocyclic compounds as much as possible, because macrocyclic compounds with more than eight members are not easy to obtain. The chemical reactions in this aspect are rarely developed. Of course, with the improvement and development of the research on synthetic methodologies of macrocycles, this principle will be gradually revised.”

Anyway, after many years of research, no one has researched new principles related to macrocyclic compounds.

The difficulty of revising a chemical principle and developing a new compound is not of the same order of magnitude.

Shen Qi really wanted to deal with macrocyclic compounds, which was one of his requirements for continuing to upgrade his chemistry.

Shen Qi said: "Professor Barton, I think it is not enough to invest 500 million US dollars in the research of macrocyclic compounds every year. The scientific research system in our country is different from that in the United States, and the scientific research funds that I can mobilize are not very large. , $800 million per year, do you think it’s okay?”

The shock and joy of Professor Barton traveled across the vast Pacific Ocean. This Canadian chemist working in the United States wished he could fly to China immediately: "Oh, God! When can I come to work with you?"

"You can do it at any time." Shen Qi said, "But what I want to remind Professor Barton is that the patent ownership of the scientific research results researched at Yanda University belongs to Yanda University, and the patent development right can be freely controlled by the original personnel. After the approval of relevant departments, it can be converted into the material income of the original personnel. To put it bluntly, if we overcome the difficult problem in the field of macrocyclic compounds, the honor belongs to us, and other things besides the honor belong to Yanda.”

"No problem, I just want to complete the work I think should be done." Professor Button stated that I came to China not for money, but for my dream.

Called by his dream, Professor Button set off for China.

Professor Barton has a team in the Department of Chemistry at Stanford. Now, the boss has left and the team members are temporarily unemployed.

Team members have two choices, either follow the boss or find a new boss.

Not everyone who works in the US wants to come to China.

In the end, only two PhDs in chemistry followed Professor Patton to China, one from Iran and one from Bulgaria, both of whom were students of Professor Patton.

Shen Qi Scientific Research Center is becoming more and more international, and internationalization means that the confidentiality work needs to be improved.

"Professor Barton, Dr. Aziz, Dr. Kosonov, this is a confidentiality agreement, please sign it." Shen Qi handed three confidentiality agreements to the three foreign scholars.

The confidentiality agreement stipulates that Professor Barton, Dr. Aziz, and Dr. Kosonov must abide by Chinese laws and Yanda’s confidentiality rules during their work at Yanda. If they leave Yanda in the future, they can leave, and scientific research materials must stay in Yanda big.

This is done internationally. When Shen Qi left Princeton, all relevant academic materials during his work in Princeton were left to Princeton.

Three foreign scholars signed a non-disclosure agreement, and then put into formal work.

Shen Qi continued to recruit chemical researchers to strengthen the strength of Professor Button's team.

　Tweet book: "Goddess of Revolution", Li Qi was thrown into another world by the goddess of revolution, the sky is full of gods and demons, extraordinary like a dog, it is very hard to struggle for a bright and spicy future, but the goddess wants him to set off a vigorous revolution here Mortal revolution.
