I reach the pinnacle of life by learning

Although Shi Wen is always complaining, most of the graduate students are parallel imports, and they are not as diligent as the sweeping aunt on the first floor.

But for a professor, it is still very important whether he has a scientific research dog under his command.

They are also their own people, and the tutors not only control the salaries of the graduate students under their hands, but also control their graduation certificates.

This also ensures the loyalty of graduate students, and it is rare for an advisor to be backstabbed by a graduate student under him.

Not to mention anything else, even if you don't enter the laboratory, do some training, help with errands, write papers, and sort out forms, it is still very useful.

Qiao Yu turned off the computer in the office, turned around and walked to Director Wu's office.

He is not very good at recognizing people. In short, if you are in doubt, you can just go to Wu Gang; if it is useless to go to Wu Gang, the upstairs is Dean Qin's office, and there is always a solution.

When Wu Gang saw Qiao Yu pushing the door and entering, his heart suddenly rose: "Professor Qiao, who is this?"

Qiao Yu frowned slightly: "Where's my graduate student?"

Wu Gang explained with a smile: "Professor Qiao like this. The postgraduate students of the school usually complete the re-examination in April. You only returned to China in July this year. Therefore, there is no task for you to lead a graduate student.

"However, if you need it, I can show you the list of newly admitted graduate students this semester. I'll discuss it with other professors. It's still too late to change."

As for the wishes of the graduate students themselves, it does not matter.

Hearing this, Qiao Yu's brows relaxed.

"That's okay, give me the one with the highest combined scores in mathematics and English in the two exams."

Don't count on the level of biotechnology, anyway, it is impossible to be as strong as him.

Good mathematics proves that the brain is bright, and good English proves that writing papers is no problem.

Qiao Yu felt that two of them were basically enough, one of them was tired, and the other could take over.

Director Wu couldn't help complaining crazily in his heart: Two more fucking, do you think you are ordering in a restaurant? !

And by coincidence, one of these two graduate students was under the name of Wang Linhai, and the other was under the name of Xu Xuan.

When the two former colleagues combined, they felt that Qiao Yu was trying to make an example of others.

"Little thief Qiao," Wang Linhai gritted his teeth in the breakfast shop, "it's been three years, why are you still holding grudges like this! It's just haunting. Now that Academician Li is returning to his hometown for the elderly, it seems that Qiao Yu won't leave in a short time , this son is domineering in the school, aren't we going to be suppressed until retirement?"

He, Xu Xuan and Li Dongwei were all Qiao Yu's defeated opponents.Therefore, before Qiao Yu went abroad to study, a long period of time passed with her tail between her legs.

The relationship between Xu Xuan and Wang Linhai is more complicated.When Xu Xuan was fired by Li Dongwei, it was Wang Linhai who succeeded him.

Xu Xuan ate a deep-fried dough stick, and replied vaguely: "Forget it, a graduate student. Just let it go, there won't be any trouble."

Wang Linhai slapped the dining table angrily: "Qiao Yu is such a villain, does he take us old seniors seriously!"

Xu Xuan was so choked that he could hardly eat fried dough sticks: "Then do you publish more papers than Qiao Yu, or do your experimental results look better than Qiao Yu?"

Wang Linhai was furious: "How can you increase the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige?"

"Doesn't this world allow people to tell the truth?" Xu Xuan's eyes widened, his expression puzzled, "Although the hematopoietic stem cell expansion experiment failed before, the school did not suppress our salary slips and research funds. Li Rui recently They have started to reorganize the laboratory... Among other things, Academician Li had leukemia before, and Qiao Yu didn't tell Xun An not to do it, did he?"

"I think Qiao Yu might just realize that he doesn't have a graduate student because the school is about to start. You have already recruited 5 this year, and it doesn't matter if you miss one."

Wang Linhai was at a loss for words for a while, so he had to change the direction to raise the bar: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat! A month's salary is only a few dollars. If you don't do experiments, be careful that you won't be able to eat another day...Why do you still make rice noodle soup with fried dough sticks! You This man! How unreasonable, didn’t I order soybean juice for you!”

Professor Xu: "Suck it, suck it."

Mr. Zhao is 69 years old this year, and it stands to reason that he has passed the age of retirement.It's just because there are no successors, and the body is strong and strong, so I haven't had time to live up to my old age yet.

He is the current dean of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and one of the reviewers of national projects. In other words, many national projects are the first to be approved from him.

Chairman Zhao graduated from Tsinghua University and holds a master's degree from Yanda University.He used to be the director of the Research Institute of the Sixth Academy of Sciences, the chief engineer of the Seventh Bureau of the Ministry of Chemical Industry, a foreign academician of the former Soviet Union, a bachelor of the Royal Society of England...every name is famous and terrifying.

Because of his busy work and gradually fading out of the field of pure scientific research, Chairman Zhao has actually not been to Yanda for a long time.

Now that he came to Yanda, he didn't disturb anyone.

It wasn't until Qin Minhui looked up and saw the smiling old man that she got up in surprise: "Teacher, why are you here?"

Zhao Heping said: "I'm tired of listening to the noise in the group, so just take a look."

Qin Minhui personally brewed a pot of tea for him. By the way, she turned down today's work and said respectfully, "Teacher, drink tea."

Dean Qin knew that if some gossip was leaked from her teacher, the entire academic circle would be shaken.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhao Heping, who can directly reach Tianting, is the top of the domestic academic pyramid.

The group that Zhao Heping mentioned is the "National High-tech Development Preparatory Committee". Many major projects related to the national destiny are voted through in this group.

In addition to Zhao Heping, who studies biology, the group also includes physicists, chemists, and aerospace scientists... they are truly "Huaguo think tanks".

She has no ambitions and doesn't want to know too much news from the upper class.

Zhao Heping took a sip of tea, then slowly put it down.

"There is a young scholar in your academy named Qiao Yu. He recently applied for a research grant of 3000 million yuan."

The first time Zhao Heping had an impression of this name was on the phone call from the old gentleman.

The old man said that Yanda has an undergraduate student who won the Cole Award.The school applied for the "Thousand Talents Program" award for him, and asked him to help see if he could give it.

Zhao Heping naturally passed, and he counted such a number one person in his heart.

Hearing it again, it was said in the group that there was a student at Yan University who was nominated for a Nobel Prize before he graduated.

Zhao Heping saw that it was the "mathematician" from last time.On the same day, he also smiled and told people that within ten years, this young man would definitely be admitted to the academician group, and he might be the youngest academician in the history of Huaguo... 32?

But unexpectedly, it was the last week.

But the group quarreled over the blue book handed in by this person.

……

……

Qin Minhui was stunned for a moment: "Ah, I know that. Targeted drugs...Young people like to try, and it's the first plan after returning to China, so it's hard for us to refuse. I handed it in for him."

Mr. Zhao asked: "Do you think it's more than 3000 million?"

Qin Minhui thought for a moment, and replied, "That's a lot. It's difficult for many professors to apply for 300 million research grants."

"For a Nobel Prize candidate, is 3000 million scientific research funds a lot?"

This time, Qin Minhui shook her head briskly: "Not many."

Other scholars have gotten to this point, and the research funds they have handled start at 5000 to [-] million.

"Then if we want to make targeted drugs, 3000 million, is that much?"

Qin Minhui was a little confused by his question: "Although my research is not in the field of gene therapy, let alone 3000 million, [-] million may not be enough."

"Yeah," Zhao Heping's gaze went blank for a moment, "Everyone is saying that 3000 million is not enough. And no matter how much it is, the possibility of making it is very slim, tell me not to waste money..."

It would be fine if the blue paper submitted by Qiao Yu was just a bunch of worthless rubbish.

In this way, Zhao Heping doesn't have to be so entangled.

He saw a glimmer of hope in the possibility given by Qiao Yu.Faint and uncertain.

Not to mention 3000 million, Zhao Heping has approved all 30 billion projects, but this time the situation is extraordinarily complicated.

First of all, there is no precedent for the national project fund to approve targeted drugs.Secondly, even if a targeted drug is developed as written in Qiao Yu's blue book, the country may not have the ability to mass-produce it. Who will own the patent and how to make money will be troublesome.

In the end, it is not that Zhao Heping underestimates himself, but that in the field of biotechnology, there is still a gap of at least 40 to [-] years before he can catch up with Europe and the United States.

Qin Minhui stood on the side in a well-behaved manner. The head of the first hospital behaved like a student in front of Zhao Heping.

"Then... what do you think?"

Zhao Heping thought sadly: "In March this year, Citigroup imposed additional tariffs on targeted drugs. Gefitinib rose to 600 yuan a piece, which is priceless. A bottle of MabThera is 2 yuan, and patients need to use [-] bottles a month. .Now the two countries are fighting a sweater war. If a certain targeted drug is on the export ban list, what will happen to cancer patients in our country? Not all drugs have Indian generics.”

Qin Minhui replied subconsciously: "But Qiao Yu may not be able to make targeted drugs..."

Zhao Heping did not answer this question, but said, "Take me to the genetic laboratory."

Qin Minhui quickly contacted Director Wu and went to visit the genetic laboratory together.

When they arrived, Qiao Yu and Tan Zirui were not there, only two or three researchers were recording data.

When he saw Dean Qin, Zhou Caijie was startled and said, "Dean, why are you here!"

Dean Qin said: "Take Academician Zhao to visit. Don't worry about me, you continue."

Zhou Caijie glanced at Zhao Heping and felt that this person looked familiar, but because he was a little nervous, he couldn't remember who this person was for a long time.I had no choice but to keep my head down and continue doing my own thing.

Fortunately, the genetic laboratory has a total of 12 small laboratories, and Zhao Heping only stayed here for a while.

"The equipment is quite complete, and it cost a lot of money."

"Including renovations and medicines, it's almost [-] million. The main cost is equipment."

"I heard that it was built to retain local scholars and introduce overseas scholars. It's rare to see you being so courageous."

Speaking of this, Qin Minhui felt a little embarrassed.

After all, if it wasn't for Ye Qinxue's claim of rights, the genetic laboratory would not be there until now.

"Does Qiao Yu have any hobbies?" Zhao Heping asked suddenly.

Qin Minhui: "Professor Qiao and I are not very close. But when Professor Qiao was a student, he heard that he got up at six o'clock every morning, and someone in the same dormitory was a light sleeper. He even complained to the dormitory management."

"and then?"

Qin Minhui had to try to recall some of the things she had heard: "It is said that I can see him in the library every day. The professors in the School of Mathematics like him very much. The teachers who taught him also said that he is transparent and hardworking..."

Zhao He nodded slowly.

After visiting the laboratory, he ignored Dean Qin's persuasion and left Yanda quietly.

Zhou Caijie, who had been doing experiments, raised his head sharply, and then slapped himself backhanded.

The one who came to the lab just now, isn't it fucking Mr. Zhao!

Mr. Zhao has made many achievements.

The most famous one is that he led the scientific research team in 03 and developed the SARS vaccine*.

Zhao Heping returned to his home, washed and slept.

The next day, he went to a meeting as usual.

Yesterday, Qiao Yu's topic had already been rejected, but this time, Zhao Heping put it on the table again.

"My colleagues, listen to me."

"We always say that Huaguo's biotechnology lags behind that of foreign countries. Huaguo's scientific research field lags behind that of foreign countries."

"Where is the gap? Is it because we can't afford the money? Is it true that the second largest GDP country in the world can't afford it?"

"The gap is in talent."

"Foreigners began to establish a modern scientific research system more than a century ago."

"After we were bombarded by foreign guns and cannons, we passively accepted the Western scientific research model. It has only been less than a hundred years since we started. Therefore, it is normal that we cannot catch up with Western countries now."

"But if you want to catch up, you must not ignore the cultivation of scientists."

"How to cultivate? It can only be fed with experiments and piled up with money."

If it is said that training scientific researchers does not require money, it is simply the biggest joke.

"Therefore, from my own point of view, I hope you will re-examine this application."

"You think it can't be approved because 3000 million yuan will definitely not be able to produce targeted drugs. The biology I study is better than you. 3000 million yuan alone must be in vain. How far can we achieve with 3000 million yuan? Whether it will be successful or not is unknown.”

Zhao Heping sat at the top, his voice sonorous and powerful: "But even if it is a waste of time, I believe that the waste of time will not be meaningless. Even if it costs one billion, as long as it can train a world-class scientist. I also I think it's worth it!"

The author has something to say: *In the real world, no vaccine was developed for SARS in 03.
