Chapter 1342 Specifications

"Old Tan, why are you here today when you are free?"

"Come to participate in the city's Bioengineering Promotion Association." Lao Tan got out of the Audi car, tidied up his clothes, made himself look more energetic, and asked with a smile, "Aren't you?"

"Me? I'm different. I'm idle and have nothing to do. I was pulled here. Aren't you going to the United States to attend an international conference tomorrow?"

"Nonsense." Lao Tan looked at the other party with disdain, and said, "City Bioengineering Promotion Association, I dare say, you have never heard of this name the day before yesterday."

"Hey, hey, what nonsense are you talking about?" Here he laughed, and asked after a while: "What do you want from the Chemical Engineering University?"

Lao Tan walked to the bottom of the steps, stood still and looked at the other party, and said with a smile: "Old Fang, I don't have such a cliché like you, it's too tough."

"What's hard, who doesn't know who." Old Fang sighed, and said: "I'll be honest, our University of Pharmaceutical Sciences wants to allocate 6 million yuan this year, but we can't get it. 5 million yuan is acceptable, but we can't do it any more. If it is less, it will affect the previous projects.”

Old Tan laughed: "What's the use of telling me these things."

"Old Tan, we are grasshoppers on the same line. Do you want to join this Lao Shizi's Bioengineering Promotion Association at this time? To promote what? It's not to promote Yang Rui's funds."

"Don't say that, I don't admit it." Old Tan said, but he stood at the bottom of the steps and never forgot to move forward.

This attitude proved that he really wanted to talk about it.

Lao Fang gained some confidence, sighed heavily, and said, "We all know that Yang Rui won't win the Nobel Prize. What kind of award is the Nobel Prize? That's a young man in his twenties. Dolls can be taken? A few years ago, I objected to the juvenile class that the University of Science and Technology of China organized. Throwing teenage children into the university and educating them in the way of adults will save decades of time, Got a mature scientist? What kind of spring and autumn dream..."

"Old Fang, Yang Rui's achievements are quite strong."

"I admit this. The PCR instrument he made is also used in our laboratory. It is very useful, but don't tell me, as long as a layer of window paper is pierced, PCR is like that." Lao Fang shook Shaking his head, he said, "I think it's too exaggerated to give PCR the Nobel Prize."

The PCR instrument is not a cutting-edge technology. Of course, it is an instrument that appears under the guidance of cutting-edge theory, but the instrument itself is not complicated.

On the plus side,

PCR is a typical modern scientific instrument, and the threshold for using it and producing it is very low. Any high school student can operate, produce or use PCR as long as they receive a few months of industrial or technological training. However, it can only be designed with a considerable understanding of the frontiers of biology.

No one can see DNA with the naked eye. Therefore, the method of PCR to copy DNA is completely calculated on paper. This process also requires genius thinking rather than powerful computing power.

From a scientific point of view, such an instrument is the most perfect one.

However, from the point of view of opponents, how can such a simple instrument deserve a Nobel Prize? Everyone has a thousand reasons to belittle it.

This is also the core issue of the Nobel Prize. There are too many theories and technologies that are eligible to win the award. It is possible for anyone not to get it, and anyone who gets it is eligible.

Old Tan nodded slowly, but said: "What about G protein-coupled receptors, how do you explain this?"

"If it is not proven, the Nobel Prize will not be given to him." Lao Fang is a little familiar with the Nobel Prize, and knows their cautious nature. No matter how beautiful the unproven theory is, it will not be awarded.

From the perspective of a century, the style of the Nobel Prize is also beneficial. Otherwise, theories like ether will win the prize.

Old Tan stepped on the steps with one foot, and said, "What you said is quite interesting."

"Sure. I'm not the only one who thinks this way, Peking University and Academician Zhu must also think so." Lao Fang said firmly, "If it wasn't the case, why did they participate in this promotion association for no reason? And invite us to participate? It's nothing more than wanting to take advantage of With Yang Rui being nominated, let’s maximize the money. When the results of the Nobel Prize come out, the current good situation will be gone.”

Old Tan nodded slightly.

"We have to connect together." Lao Fang whispered: "Academician Zhu is here, and An Linhai from the Ministry of Health is also here, plus the Chinese Academy of Sciences. After a rough calculation, at least tens of millions of dollars must be decided this time. RMB. Think about it, has there ever been such a hasty meeting before? Why did it take so many days.”

"kindness."

"Yang Rui won't win the Nobel Prize this year, and he has great hopes for next year or the year after, but I don't think so."

"kindness."

"If he wins the Nobel Prize, I won't say much. He walks sideways in the country. If he doesn't win the Nobel Prize, Lao Zhu and the others will help him find funds in a hurry. No such thing. Make sense." Lao Fang said with a more intense tone and a louder voice.

Lao Tan asked a little emotionally: "What do you want to do?"

"Procrastinate, delay these three days, and wait for the Nobel Prize list to be announced, and then we will discuss funding." Lao Fang paused, and said: "Peking University and Lao Zhu treat Yang Rui as their own son. We definitely disagree, and if we really disagree, we will make a fuss. There is no reason for us to be a group of old guys, so let him run with a cub."

Old Tan thought for a while, nodded slightly, and said, "We need 8 million this year, and we really have to make a fuss."

Lao Fang glanced sideways at Lao Tan, and said with a half-hearted smile, "The lion has opened its mouth."

"What's the big deal with 8 million." Old Tan said calmly, "We get more money from the Ministry of Health every year than you do."

"It's useless for me to promise you, and other people have to have opinions." Lao Fang is unwilling to let go. How much total funding will be available this time is still uncertain. If he promises a large sum of money to the Chemical Industry University, he will continue to connect There is no need.

Lao Fang stepped up the steps, and as a kind of coercion, he said: "We just need to not cooperate. No matter how good Lao Zhu is, can he still force us to sign? After a few days, let's discuss a specific allocation." .

Old Tan snorted twice, followed up, and said, "I'm afraid you will connect with other people when the time comes."

"As long as the funding of Yang Rui and Peking University is suppressed, we will all benefit. You don't know the news I have received. The total funding this time may exceed the previous ones. Even if we distribute according to the previous ratio, the final figure will not be large." It will be less." Lao Fang half-persuaded him, stopped talking, and walked up vigorously.

At the front desk of the hotel, the staff of the Beijing x-on: Beijing Biological Engineering Promotion Association, resisting the shock, issued representative cards to the participating representatives one by one.

As Lao Tan and Lao Fang said, the so-called Association for the Promotion of Bioengineering is only the lowest-level municipal society, and the background is only a few municipal magazines. It is only because of its location in the capital that it can hold a small-scale event every year. By the way, some award medals are selected to maintain member units and members.

In essence, it is no different from the books of "Famous Chinese Biologists" all over the country. It is an academic conference where representative cards can be issued as long as money is given.

However, the staff in the academy, as people in the capital circle, have heard of and met real famous professors and experts.

The only question is, how did these great people come here.

"Professor Tan."

"Professor Fang." Mei Yingshao, standing at the front desk, is a senior editor of "Ecology and Environment".

Jiang Haokun, who was lying at the front desk filling out his representative card, was a frequent visitor of the Association for the Promotion of Bioengineering. Hearing Mei Yingshao's greeting, he subconsciously looked back and peed in fright: "Professor Tan, why are you here?"

"Oh." Professor Tan squinted his eyes and looked, but didn't recognize anyone.

"I'm Jiang Haokun. When you opened short-term classes before, I studied in your class for 8 months." Short-term classes are talents trained in special periods, and all students are trained to achieve short-term goals.

Professor Tan heard that it is a short-term class, so he has no interest. The development potential of talents who are trained on-demand for what this society needs is very weak, because no one knows what kind of people the future society will need. Not practical operation is the characteristic of undergraduate education. On the contrary, the short-term class lays eggs like a batch of people who can be used after graduation. However, with this kind of education model, even talented students are basically abolished. Not only the academic potential is exhausted, but also Work prospects are limited.

Professor Tan nodded, and said in a friendly tone, "You are also here to attend this meeting."

"Yes, I come every year. Are you invited by the organizer? Give us a speech." Jiang Haokun swiped his hand excitedly, and the completed form was dirty.

Professor Tan smiled and said, "I, I was lured here by bait."

"what?"

"Do it well." Professor Tan patted Jiang Haokun on the shoulder, signed at the front desk, and the students who came with him helped to fill in the rest.

Jiang Haokun watched the people go away, still a little dazed, then turned to ask Mei Yingshao at the front desk: "Your specifications are so high this year?"

"I haven't heard of it." Mei Yingshao was also puzzled.
