Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

If you say who is the most greedy person in the world, it must be a scientist. Tomato☆Novel Network△▽△w-w`w-. x`f-q`x-s-w`. `c`o-m

How much money do ordinary people need to make money for enjoyment? Like Bill Gates, buy a small island in the Maldives, usually take a private jet to and from his mansion with whale sharks, and occasionally buy a $300 million yacht converted from a destroyer like the Prince of Saudi Arabia, which is about the limit, and it can even be said to be Extremely capricious.

The waywardness of a woman can also be added to expensive jewelry and luxury goods like Hermes.

But is an island a cost to scientists? There are no islands all over the world. It’s just because scientists are poor and can’t afford funds. Have you ever seen people from various countries who study permafrost, tropical rain forests, climate change, and paleontology set up scientific research stations in the Amazon jungles of the Antarctic and Arctic? Therefore, investors, no matter whether they are individuals, institutions or countries, have only two choices, either not to invest, or to invest n times the money of Bill Gates, and it is a perennial expense.

Taking biologists as an example, the most needed environmental protection model for human beings is to establish various animal sperm and egg banks, improve the dna bank, and carry out various sequencing activities, so as to ensure that no matter how bad the earth's environment is, it will not completely lose a species Genes that animals have evolved over millions of years. As for wildlife sanctuaries, etc., they are more about protecting animal culture and human culture than protecting animals themselves. Different wild animals will behave differently in different areas, which just shows the ability of animals to adapt to the environment.

However, the Human Genome Project cost 3 billion US dollars to complete. Although most of the expenses do not need to be repeated on wild animals, the sequencing of wild animals will also add more costs. Then, sequencing the world How much do millions of animals, insects, microbes and plants cost?

Some people will say, can't these money be applied for from the state?

The country's money is also limited, and it is not really printed.

Schools like Tsinghua University have a yearly budget of 4 billion yuan, and Harvard has just over 10 billion dollars a year, all of which are given to the Department of Biology, and several products can be sequenced.

Not to mention, scientists also have preferences.

If you take money from the state, you have to consider the issue from the public’s point of view. Important animals and plants such as rice, wheat or pigs, chickens, and yeast will be at the top of the sequencing list. Even if microorganisms such as yeast and rice are cheap, pigs The cost of mammals such as chickens and chickens can be high.

If you take the money from the organization, you have to listen to the investors. For example, Comrade Bill Gates is interested in whale sharks, so people can ask to test whale sharks.

What about scientists?

If Yang Rui sequenced cattle,

He can also apply for a little public expenditure. If he wants to sequence the alpaca, it will not be so easy.

Instead, the rich capitalists protected the whale sharks that they might not like so much. How can this be justified?

From this point of view, Yang Ruicun's tea is only enough to complete a little hobby.

As for the luxury of keeping a whale shark in a mansion? Regardless of the cost of construction or maintenance, a smart house with whale sharks is far inferior to a marine research institute. In the modern Institute of Oceanography, what is a whale shark?

Ruby was once used to make watches, and was later used by scientists in lasers, and the bigger the better.

Big diamonds are not very attractive to scientists, but the annual consumption of diamonds for industry is no less than the needs of women.

Hermès scarves are often woven with special butterfly silk, but if a biologist wants to play with butterflies, selling Hermès is not enough trouble.

It's just that there is still no money to make trouble.

Who should have the right to allocate social resources? politician? civil servant? capitalist? Economist or scientist? This is a philosophical proposition.

But Yang Rui is sure that he is qualified to control a certain distribution right.

In time, is Yang Rui, a biologist, qualified to build a scientific research station, a seed bank, and even a gene bank in Antarctica that will not be influenced by stupid bureaucrats?

In the day when genetically modified genes are clamoring, can scientists who cannot afford social funding be able to do whatever research they want?

When biofuels are in vogue, when the act of cutting down the tropical rainforest to grow corn needs to be stopped by deafening voices, do those who have reason to speak out have enough publicity capital?

Or, when biological experiments fantasize about space, when biologists fantasize about the deep sea, when biologists need supercomputers, when biologists need super-powerful mechanical and engineering facilities, when When biologists want to raise fish from the sea, clone Wagyu...

Of course, biologists don't have to do this. In fact, such things rarely appear in the dictionary of scientists.

For most things, there is always a tactful way to turn around.

But biologists can be capricious, too.

Nobel Prize-winning biologists are naturally more capricious.

Facts have proved that most Nobel laureates do not easily obtain willful rights in social life. Instead, they will be treated more harshly.

It's as if you are justified if you are poor, the concept that the higher the status, the more you should suffer, is almost deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Yang Rui does not want to be a high-ranking mascot. He is a scientist. Scientists are also qualified to consume expensive tea, live in a luxury house, and drive a luxury car. Of course, such a wish is probably difficult for most scholars. Achieved.

Even after 30 years, the average salary of a scholar can hardly reach the standard of 30,000 US dollars, and the salary of 50,000 US dollars, if it is not for money, is almost the high point of a famous scholar.

In contrast, Pu'er tea can bring Yang Rui a lot of comfort. If he spends one million yuan a year solely for tea income, the money can be exchanged for billions of yuan in 20 years.

If it continues for 10 years or even longer, the total value can be exchanged for the market value of a Fortune 500 company. Of course, this will have to be sold a little slower.

However, even if it is hundreds of billions of yuan, or even hundreds of billions of yuan, it is more than enough to maintain a world-class laboratory, and it is still difficult to build a new one.

Not to mention Harvard's annual funding of tens of billions of dollars, Tsinghua's annual funding of 4 billion yuan, with a slightly wider finger gap, it is easy to spend ten times more.

Who doesn't want to use better reagents and equipment, because they can't afford it.

However, if you sell the mahogany and porcelain, it is still easy to build another laboratory.

That's pretty much the limit.

Bell Labs, as the top existence of the company's laboratory, is still living so hard. Yang Rui is not optimistic about the income-expenditure ratio of private laboratories. Additional investment is inevitable and will exist for a long time.

As for the impact of public spending on science, it often falls short of the impact of ignorance on IQ. Let a group of people who don't know the Lagrangian mean value theorem judge the value and direction of science. It's better to have a wolf day, and then let the survivors flip coins. At least people have used their hearts to train their muscles.

The advantage of being reborn is that it is easier to collect money so that you can do what you like.

The advantage of the Nobel Prize is that you can hold a lot of money and don't have to worry about being slaughtered.

Yang Rui transferred hundreds of billions of big business to Jiang Zhijun, and said one more thing: "If you have time, help me buy some rough jadeite, as well as Hetian jade and Hetian jade seeds, which are good for storage."

Jiang Zhijun was already immune to Yang Rui's wanton spending. He only thought that his consumption desire skyrocketed after winning the Nobel Prize, and he just asked him feebly, "How much do you want to buy?"

"How much is the emerald now?"

"You don't even know the price..." Jiang Zhijun couldn't complain, and said, "A few days ago, a friend of mine bought two pairs of jadeite bracelets. I heard they were pretty good. I gave them a total of 1,000 yuan. I bought them in a mall."

"What level of jade bracelet?"

"did not ask."

"Well, if you want to calculate like this, first buy a million yuan to test the water?" Yang Rui is not in a hurry, the price increase of jadeite is a matter of the future, and now it is just hoarding.

He has to take millions of dollars just for the prize money of the Nobel Prize, which cannot be deposited in the bank. It will be used as pension money in 30 years.

Jiang Zhijun didn't care, he just asked curiously, "Aren't you going to be busy with the joint venture factory these two days?"

He helped Yang Rui, but it was just to mix a supporting factory.

I just don't know how embarrassing Comrade Jiang Zhijun will be when he thinks of today's scene ten or twenty years later.

"It's basically finished. It's all a ceremony. The signing ceremony of Northern United Pharmaceuticals. Zeneca won the bid. I'm very happy and sent the president here. Take pictures or something." Yang Rui was very depressed when he talked about things.

Doing business is really not what he is interested in. A pharmaceutical factory like Sinovel Pharmaceuticals is fine. In addition to preparing to produce orphan drugs for Gaucher's disease, Northern United Pharmaceuticals may also produce various common medicines. This is out of Yang Rui's professional scope. He is unwilling to spend time, and what he does is more perfunctory than what he says.

Jiang Zhijun was scratching his heart and lungs anxiously, and hurriedly said: "Zelekang is your old acquaintance, which is also a good thing."

"I'll introduce you when I'm free." Yang Rui saw what Jiang Zhijun meant, and he didn't want to play tricks, so he said, "Frank is the vice president of Zeneca China, and he will be in charge of this joint venture project in the future. , I will take you to meet someone another day."

"Great, thank you, Professor Yang." Jiang Zhijun was content with the pile of procurement tasks that were burdening him.

The advantages of Zeneca in China are too obvious. Not only Hu Chi and others are satisfied with such a joint venture, Jiang Zhijun is also quite satisfied.

Zeneca has ready-made domestic channel resources that can be distributed by the nascent Northern United Pharmaceuticals. On the other hand, they are also the top ten super pharmaceutical companies in the world, and they are capable of applying for new drugs and generic drugs.

Of course, the relationship with Yang Rui was also one of the reasons why they finally won the bid.

This is not only because Yang Rui prefers them, but because of Yang Rui, Zeneca has a lot of trust in Northern United Pharmaceuticals, which is not well-known at all. After all, when investing in a third world country, it is difficult to make up your mind and pay a large amount of money without a trusted and powerful person.

The next day, Jiang Zhijun asked someone to find several newspapers, and looked at the bright smile of Hu Chi, the director of the chemical medicine promotion office, and he also showed an incomparably bright smile.

Yang Rui loves to spend money indiscriminately. It's best if you run out of money and come to me.

At that time, if Yang Rui asks me to borrow money, will I borrow it?

Jiang Zhijun fell into deep contemplation, secretly fantasizing about that scene, and thought: At that time, he must be asked to buy mung bean cakes in the east, red bean cakes in the west, pancakes in the north, and eggs in the south, and borrow some more. money to him.

With such wonderful fantasies, Jiang Zhijun embarked on the train to the south to spread funds in order to improve the living standards of the people in the impoverished areas of the motherland.
