Chapter 512 Life Science Research Center
"Zhao Cai just likes to tease others." Li Yan shook hands with Cai Zhendong with a smile. "This must not be confusing you, so as not to forget me." "There is something in your words, Cai." Li Yan gave Cai Zhendong a blank look.
But this look was very useful to Lao Cai.
This time, BGI came here with sincerity. In addition to Cai Zhendong's personal appearance, Academician He Xiaogang, director of the Center for Biological Research, also came, as well as Academician Wan Keming, the dean of the School of Medicine, a famous human pathologist, a dean of the School of Life Sciences, and a famous plant. Pathologist Academician Tang Chongzheng and cell biologist Professor Han Huai.
Linda Nature is also a good sign.Linca President Xu Ning, Dean of the School of Medicine and Academician Cheng Yuan, Bioinformatician Professor Cao Runsheng, Neurobiology expert Professor Jiang Ping, Virus Research Expert Professor He Hongmei; Professor Fan Qifei, Dean of the School of Life Sciences, Professor Cui Sheng, Director of the Zoology Teaching and Research Department, and Kang Wenjun, a young scholar and deputy director of the Genetics Teaching and Research Department.
I don't know this, I was shocked. As both of them are the top departments of their respective schools, BGI can take out four academicians at once, while Lin University only has two schools, Xu and the college.
But Linda was not nervous, because the group of people participating in the discussion today were all young backbones, and even the dean was ten years younger than BGI, and the future was promising.
Although they are not academicians, they basically hold some well-known social positions.
For example, Professor Jiang Ping also serves as a national review expert and is also the director of the relevant professional committees in Linjiang and vice chairman of the society.
Of course, there is nothing to show in front of Li Yan.
After all, Li Yan is no longer surprised by the title of "Academician". Instead, he is still interested in it.
So this group of well-known scientific research experts lined up behind the two principals and showed a humble side to the Future Science and Technology Delegation.
The backbone of future bioscience research companies is very embarrassed.
Li Yan brought four people.
Tan Sheng, the head of Future Biology, was a young scholar who came back from studying abroad and taught provincial research projects. However, his undergraduate degree was from BGI. Although Wan Keming was not his dean at the time, It is also a huge thunderous move in the industry, and Professor Han Huai happens to be his teacher.
There are three remaining, Liu Zimei, a female doctor who graduated from BGI. She is studying in the molecular genetic mechanism of the interaction between plants and microorganisms, and she goes to the Biological Research Center every day. I feel that the greatest highlight of my student days was to be an experimental assistant to Academician He Xiaogang.
There are two other young talents He Ziwen and Liao Jun who are undergraduates of the School of Life Sciences, graduate students of the School of Medicine, and returned from overseas doctoral studies. They basically know the group of professors standing in front of them, and many of them were given psychological shadows by them back then.
For example, Professor Jiang Ping, who asked the extremely sharp question, asked the top student He Ziwen so much that he cried on the podium...
He Hongmei, nicknamed "Iron Mother", made Liao Jun, an outstanding student representative, think that she was going to postpone the graduation during the defense.
Now, these iron-faced professors shook hands with the former students happily, and their attitude was so good that the hands of the four students shook slightly.
All of them were people who had to look up to, but now they still have to fall behind me when they walk?
Mr. Li, was your personnel arrangement intentional? !
Li Yan did it on purpose.
Even he ordered the list of scholars who came to participate in the negotiations.
No of these scholars has a repetitive research direction, including respected bigwigs in the industry and shining young scholars.
Let "former students" come forward, and intuitively let these professors see what kind of research environment will the future biology give them.
At the same time, it also puts pressure on these students to the professors.
Your best students worked here with me, and they knew your situation well.
In a word, when talking about cooperation, we are sincere and sincere, and there is no need to do any unnecessary tests.
Li Yan needed Huada and Linda to make real efforts instead of spending huge sums of money to build a research center, but it became a petri dish for mixed graduates.
A group of people walked a long way through greetings and arrived at the Science and Technology Building of BGI. "The conference room is on the second floor, please." Xu Ning showed everyone's enthusiasm. "Old Xu, the new building is so grand." Cai Zhendong said.
"The conditions for doing research cannot be bad." Xu Ning said with a smile. "No wonder it can attract talents." Cai Zhendong sighed very clearly after speaking.
Li Yan's scalp was numb.
Everyone knows what he is talking about.
The elevator with a lot of space was only entered in the first wave of the two principals and Li Yan. The others kept waving their hands and waiting for the other side.
"Old Cai," Xu Ning changed his tone as soon as the elevator door was closed, "What's wrong with me snatching your girlfriend? So resentful?"
"That's much more serious! "Cai Zhendong curled his lips.
These two little old men!
Li Yan's face was covered in darkness and pretended not to hear anything.
I never expected that as soon as I walked out of the elevator, Cai Zhendong came up by himself, "Li Yan, how long are you going to study for graduate school here?"
"Only."
Critical strike.
"Are you taking classes here?"
Xu Ningke was proud: "I have been here for less than this semester and have participated in 8 classes and one experiment!"
< br>Critical strike again.
Cai Zhendong was already covering his heart.
"Then, does Xiao Wei study for a Ph.D.?"
"I don't know."
"If you study, BGI..."
" Old Cai, Old Cai, don’t do external tricks!” Xu Ning was anxious.
"Wow, what kind of extravagant tricks do I think? Don't talk nonsense, Lao Xu." "Okay, okay, we'll build a research center together, this will be the big shot in the future." Li Yan was helpless, "Sit down, it's time to have a meeting."
The conference room is quite large, allowing BGI and the delegation of the National Congress to serve the table and sit on one side.
He Ziwen, a young man who prefers to play with memes, whispered to Liao Jun: "The Thirteenth Taibao opposite."
There are also a row of "participants" who cannot get on the table behind the Thirteenth Taibao. The most time is also a doctor.
And there were only five people on this side of the table.
"It feels a little mismatch..." Liu Zimei whispered to Tan Sheng, "I'm a little nervous."
Tan Sheng sat upright and responded in a low voice: "Even if only Mr. Li is here. , that is also a match, we just add to the top."
When everyone sat down, Li Yan looked at Xu Ning.
So Xu Ning began to speak: "We are very lucky to invite you today..."
He Ziwen and Liao Jun were both stunned. They thought that Li Yan should have been hosted by this aura... The Thirteenth Taishang Insurance opposite was the mismatched side, right?
After a series of introductions and applause, Cai Zhendong suddenly said something a bit inexplicable: "Today's informal meeting, everyone should do a good job in confidentiality and not carry out any publicity to the outside world."
The four backbones of the Future Biology were confused, but seeing Li Yan's expression was indifferent and even had a tacit eye contact with Lao Cai, he stopped asking.
After a simple exchange, Li Yan went straight to the point:
"Today's topic, leaders and colleagues should be very clear, so I won't go into details. Let's just spread the blueprint first, funded by Future Technology, and build a life science research center in Rongxi District and Dongshi District of New Taipei, and go to Beijing. If I can win the venue, I can also invest in establishing it. Whether it is upgrading within BGI or an industry-university-research base, if there is no conditions, I can also provide necessary funding to BGI Bioscience Research Center. The three centers each have Focus on information sharing, only one purpose, to promote life science research and strive to achieve breakthrough progress. "
Although Li Yan has greeted the two principals in advance, Dongshi District has also built a research center This is indeed the first time I heard about the plan.
"Such big money?" Cai Zhendong asked, "There is a position within BGI. It's not been a day or two for Director He to expand and upgrade the research center. Li Yan, you just say that we need to strive for it here. How much does it cost? "
"No need." The audience was in an uproar.
"Whoever owned by Future Technology?" Xu Ning was also very surprised. "Yes." Li Yan nodded, "I will bear all the expenditures of these three research centers."
Thirteen Taishang Insurance was not calm.
Director Wan Keming was still quite able to sit still, but just asked Cai Zhendong quietly: "Didn't you tell me this earlier?"
Cai Zhendong just shrugged, and Li Yan didn't put it in advance either. These news are revealed.
"Mr. Li, does it include the funding for the research project?" Academician Tang Chongzheng was more realistic and asked questions that everyone was very concerned about.
"Including." Li Yan nodded again, "Of course, we still need to strive for the funds we can fight for with the official. Advanced research projects are time-consuming and expensive, and it is necessary to do research with sufficient advanced equipment." A smile that could not be suppressed appeared on many people's faces. "But." Li Yan smiled and said the two words that made the whole audience quiet.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Wan Keming had seen strong winds and waves, and had long had psychological expectations for Li Yan's turn, and he still looked as stable as Mount Tai. "Just like applying for funds from the official, you need to apply for and review. Since you are using money from future technology, I will naturally take on this responsibility." Li Yan said in a low voice, The scene was silent, which made his words particularly powerful and loud: "Future Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is the middleman who accepts applications and grants, but I will evaluate the application fees for all projects, no matter how big or small it is. ”
As soon as these words were said, everyone's expressions changed subtly in an instant.
"I'll just say it straightforwardly. What I pursue is not the commercialization of results, not to make money, but to promote the development of life sciences and medical development. I review the project, only look at academics Value, I have my own rating system. If I pass, everyone will get much more money than the official one; but I will not be qualified to enter the research center for projects with low value."
In everyone's eyes, Li Yan suddenly took off her cloak of "extremely rich boss" and revealed the essence of a top genius. "No problem." Cai Zhendong patted his chest, "It has both financial support and professional guidance. Our three-party cooperation and progress are a beautiful event in life science research!"
He Xiaogang has really worked with Li Yan. He knows Li Yan's academic level and thinking ability, so he is different from those who are gradually excited.
He felt much pressure.
From the speech, Li Yan's purpose is different from those of them who have teaching tasks, want to evaluate professional titles and even have paper KPIs. Li Yan only wants truly valuable research.
Valuable research is also divided into two types. One is that it has a sufficient foundation and can produce high-value results after research. It is basically held by the big guys - they also need these things to protect their status. .
The other is that the problem itself is very valuable, and if the results can be obtained, it will basically be a breakthrough.
The three words "if possible" illustrate the difference.
All of these studies are gold swallowing black holes, and the results are not complete. The research itself has extremely high requirements for manpower and material resources. It requires courage to start it up. Whether it is BGI or Linda, it often ends with a simple taste.
So, supporting a research center's projects, there are a lot of small research that are graduate students.
The kind that must also produce results - it must produce results, which to a certain extent shows the value of these studies.
Li Yan cannot be regarded as these.
If you really start a gold-swallowing black hole-like project, the pressure will be no small amount.
He Xiaogang was a little scared for a moment, fearing that Li Yan could see the level of their offerings.
Fan Qifei, director of the Biotechnology Department of Lin University, angrily showed his presence and asked a question that everyone was concerned about: "Mr. Li, if you say this, it means that these three research centers use the resources of the school's teachers and research team. , have you done some high-end research? "
"I will read the student's topics as long as I am willing to give them." Li Yan said, "The same grade is divided. Even if I have read them ordinary, I can do it with some value. Provide guidance, those with highlights can set up scholarships directly, and those who are really valuable can still obtain funds."
Li Yan glanced at the thirteen leaders opposite, "But in terms of the 'value' of ideas , the students’ ideas are also worth referring to. ”
At this point, Li Yan’s meaning is already very clear.
I pay for it, you pay for it, and everyone can share the research results, but don’t think of becoming a place for academic waste production.
And if Li Yan checks the project funding application, it is basically equivalent to the content of the center's research that is determined by Li Yan.
This is holding the initiative in your own hands.
The system is also different. Cai Zhendong and Xu Ning did not understand Li Yan's requirements for future city planning.
He even wants absolute dominance in the planning of small areas that require official bleeding, let alone this one.
Judging from the results, Li Yan's plan actually did not meet the expectations of Cai Zhendong and Xu Ning.
They also thought it was a common model of school-enterprise cooperation in production, academia and research bases.
But there is no way. No matter how much dominant Li Yan wants, they have no reason to not cooperate.
They cannot refuse just by providing advanced research centers that allow in-depth research on biomedical medicine in both schools.
Not to mention three.
Building a research center requires high costs, but a project in tens of thousands should not be considered a expenditure in front of Li Yan, who is now a legendary worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
In fact, it is not unaffordable for universities like BGI.
But the subsequent maintenance costs are troublesome, and the more experiments are done, the more expensive the cost is.
It is not easy for schools to apply for funds. It is often a quantitative method. I dare not exceed it at all, nor can I guarantee that this year is enough and I can still do it next year.
This is also the reason why the laboratory attaches great importance to "achievements". If there is no result, you cannot get funds. If you just burn money, you will face the dilemma of not being able to operate.
There is another reason why it cannot be refused, Li Yan is the one who leads the project.
Being rich is his secondary label.
He took the lead and maybe the projects that were difficult to achieve results would really meet people who could subdue them? "Li Yan," Wan Keming finally spoke, "Is there any explanation for the standard of the completed research center?"
"The world is advanced." Li Yan answered in seconds.
"Okay!" Cai Zhendong took the lead and applauded, and the participants followed one after another.
The four backbone of Future Technology were a little unresponsive, and they didn't know whether to applaud for a while.
"Mr. Li, the big picture is very bold." Cai Zhendong stood up and stretched out his hand, "It was not in vain today. It was considered that the direction of cooperation was initially finalized, which was better than I expected! Let's talk more carefully in the future. Discussing specific plans."
Li Yan also stood up and held Cai Zhendong's hand. Everyone stood up in an instant, "College Cai is polite. My request may seem a bit strong, but if it can be combined with the two hospitals The top power of the school may soon be able to see miracles."
The word miracles are just a positive image for others, but when it comes to Li Yan's mouth, it seems particularly important.
Then a group of people shook hands with smiles to end today's meeting. The following are the observation and learning between schools - this is the content that can be written into the promotional draft. "By the way, Li Yan, let's communicate with us Academician He when it comes to the research center's specific things. If necessary, we can come and have a meeting at any time." Cai Zhendong said.
Xu Ning immediately added, "You can just look for me at Linda University, or find Professor Fan."
Li Yan stretched out his hand to Tan Sheng. Tan Sheng understood and immediately put the few plans in the bag. Take it out with the USB drive.
"I have prepared the specific plan, including the construction drawings of the research center. You can take a look first. If the plan is confirmed to be feasible, construction will start tomorrow."
ah? "Didn't we just clarify the location of BGI Research Center?" Cai Zhendong was shocked.
"So I didn't take out the other two plans." Li Yan smiled, "If everyone is not in a hurry, just take a look here. Maybe construction will start tomorrow. Everyone stays here for one night and can you still be able to directly Attend the groundbreaking ceremony."
