Chapter 170 Don’t be a big grievance even if you have money
When Senior Brother Liu mentioned the surplus of scientific research funds, Zhang Wei had already guessed what Senior Brother Liu wanted.
However, when Senior Brother Liu really asked for money, Zhang Wei still stared at Senior Brother Liu for a few seconds, then put on a concerned expression and asked:
"Liu Brother, is there something going on at home? Is someone sick and it costs a lot of money to see a doctor? Or is there something else going on? Let us help you find a solution."
"You misunderstood. It’s not my personal matter, my family is not sick or in trouble,” Senior Brother Liu said quickly.
"Everyone in your family is very nice? Then why do you need money? You must have encountered a scam, right? Brother Liu, you usually stay in school. You don't know that the world is dangerous and there are so many scammers out there!
And swindlers like to pick on inexperienced intellectuals like you, you can’t believe it even if Qin Shihuang gives money to Bill Gates’ illegitimate son!”
, Meng Heming must have called him an expert after hearing this.
Senior Brother Liu had no choice but to say: "I want these 100,000 yuan, which is used for scientific research. It is scientific research funding."
"Are you taking private work outside?" Zhang Wei continued Play dumb.
"How can this be possible? Besides, I'm not studying engineering, so if I have any private work, it's not my turn!" Senior Brother Liu said.
"What about school scientific research projects? School projects are funded by the school!" Zhang Wei still put on a cute expression.
"I came to you for help because of insufficient funds." Senior Brother Liu said.
“Don’t you have to make a budget before applying for funds? Even if it is not enough, you can apply for more from the school!” Zhang Wei continued to practice Tai Chi.
Senior Brother Liu had no choice but to explain: "You have to be able to take charge of the project independently before you can directly apply for funds. How can we graduate students be qualified to apply for funds? Our funds are all I applied with my tutor.
If we want to do a scientific research project, we have to apply to our tutor. What the tutor flows out from his fingers is our project funds. The specific amount that can flow out basically depends on the mood of the tutor. "
"That's it, Senior Brother Liu, you know, I'm only a freshman and I don't understand this at all. "
Zhang Wei showed an expression of sudden realization, and then he said: "According to what you said, if you need scientific research funds, you should go to your supervisor. This is the formal process of applying for funds. "
"Isn't it because my tutor refused to grant me funds, so I came here to beg you. "Senior Brother Liu is quite straightforward.
Zhang Wei sighed: "Senior Brother Liu, I'm just an undergraduate. I don't understand the advanced professional knowledge, but I don't think your instructor has given it to you. There must be a reason for approving the funds.
Since you can't get the 100,000 yuan through the formal funding application process, then I, a non-compliant place, will not dare to give it to you! Senior Brother Liu, please understand this. "
"Zhang Wei, listen to me, this project of mine is really good! Once the results are obtained, it will be a major breakthrough in the study of cell perception and adaptability. "Senior Brother Liu continued to persuade.
"Since your scientific research project is so meaningful, it is even more important to apply for funding through formal procedures. I believe that the leaders in the department will not miss this kind of research project. A very significant scientific research project. "Zhang Wei said immediately.
Zhang Wei's words immediately made Brother Liu unable to argue. As Zhang Wei said, if Brother Liu's project is really meaningful, there is no need to go to the department. His supervisor can easily pass the application. Why does he need to come to Zhang Wei?
The supervisor refuses to grant funding to the graduate students. In all likelihood, he thinks that the project is not feasible or that nothing can be done. The results are either of little research value
In fact, when Senior Brother Liu mentioned the remaining funds for the project, Zhang Wei had already guessed his purpose. However, Zhang Wei did not rush to make a decision, but deliberately pretended to be dumbfounded, and finally let Senior Brother Liu take the initiative to bring the topic to Comply with the funding application process.
As long as the rules are mentioned, then Zhang Wei will have an excuse to reject Senior Brother Liu in an honest manner.
Everything has its own rules, especially in scientific research. All rules and regulations in the laboratory need to be strictly followed, so when Zhang Wei rejected Senior Brother Liu on the grounds of non-compliance, he really Nothing to say.
What’s more, the rules for funding applications came from Senior Brother Liu himself.
Zhang Wei returned the fruit basket to Senior Brother Liu and personally took him to the stairs.
Looking at Senior Brother Liu's lost back, Zhang Wei felt no sympathy in his heart, but instead felt a little irritated.
"It seems that the scientific research funds have not been spent, which is also a troublesome thing!"
......
At nine o'clock in the evening, the four people finished the dinner and returned home dormitory.
"After you've had enough wine and food, let's wash up and get ready for bed!" Ye Haotian stretched out, looking lazy, and took out the key and prepared to open the door.
The classmates in the dormitory next door heard Ye Haotian's voice and immediately stuck their heads out: "You are finally back. Your dormitory is lively tonight!"
"Our dormitory is lively? Are you kidding? The four of us Everyone has gone out, and there is no one in the dormitory. How can it be lively? Is it possible to attract thieves?" Ye Haotian asked.
“Several waves of guests came to your dormitory this night. Everyone asked if this was Zhang Wei’s dormitory. It seemed that they all came to see Zhang Wei, and some of them came carrying things. !" The classmate next door continued to explain.
"They are all looking for me? Do you know them?" Zhang Wei asked immediately.
“I don’t know him, he seems to be a senior.” The other party replied.
"I understand, they are here to ask for funds again, and they really treat me as a big enemy." Zhang Wei sighed, and then said: "I don't know who it was that exposed the fact that I still had funds left. ."
"Is it necessary for others to do this? This is funding, I don't know how many people are watching!"
Ye Haotian paused and then explained: "As long as the experiment is done. I have gradually become a master of budgeting, and I can accurately predict how much it costs to do an experiment!
The project you did, how many reagents and equipment were consumed, and how much reagents and equipment were used! How much money is left can be known with a little calculation
If you don’t believe me, ask Chen Ming how much it costs to start up each machine in the Department of Physics, and how many kilowatt-hours it consumes to run for one hour. He knows everything about electricity.”
"That's right." The autistic man nodded.
"I really don't know much about this aspect. I used to direct others to do experiments, and I was used to it without being the boss." Zhang Wei replied.
Ye Haotian continued: "I think it's just the beginning for the graduate students to ask you for funding. Maybe the professors in the biology department are already eyeing your funding balance!"
"Professor? That's not true! Professors can't all apply for projects and apply for funding from the school. Why do you need to ask for money from Viagra?" Lu Yunxiang said he didn't believe that professors would have such no limit. "Xiao Lu, don't overestimate the professor's integrity. In the more than a year since I came to Tsinghua University, all the professors have lied to me!" Zhang Wei snorted coldly, and then said: "It seems that these days, I You have to hide and don’t go back to the biology department recently.”
...
Zhang Wei thought, if you can't afford to offend him, why can't you hide him? On a campus as big as Tsinghua University, there are plenty of places to hide and be quiet. If you really can't, just go to the corner of the library and find a cat, and it can turn into a little transparent one.
However, early the next morning, Zhang Wei received a call from Meng Heming, asking him to go to the biology department.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the biology department, I was stopped by an acquaintance.
“Teacher Zhang Wei, I have found you!”
Zhang Wei followed the voice and saw that the person speaking was a professor named Su from the Department of Biology. He also taught an introductory biology class to freshmen this semester.
It’s just that Zhang Wei has special privileges and doesn’t usually have to go to class, so Zhang Wei only attended two sessions of Professor Su’s class.
"Professor Su, I can't afford to call you a teacher!" Zhang Wei replied immediately.
"If you are patient, there is no priority in learning, and the master is the teacher!" Professor Su asked with a smile: "Do you have time now? Come and sit in my office? I have this year's new tea there. !”
“What do you want from me?” Zhang Wei asked warily.
"Come to my office and let's talk slowly!"
"Except for scientific research funding, everything else is easy to discuss!" Zhang Wei gave a reminder.
"Hey, I really just want to get funding for scientific research!" Professor Su said shamelessly.
"Professor Su, it seems that you are also eyeing my little surplus funds. To tell you the truth, I can't make the decision about this fund now! I promised Principal Gu that the use of the surplus funds must be Listen to his arrangements."
"Principal Gu, do you care how much money you have left?" Professor Su said he didn't believe it.
"The main reason is that I am too young and it is my first time to be responsible for a project. Principal Gu is worried about me and is afraid that I will make mistakes, so he specifically told me not to let me manage money." Zhang Wei pretended to be helpless. expression.
"That's right! That's such a pity!" Professor Su pouted unhappily.
Faced with a professor-level figure asking for money, Zhang Wei couldn't argue with the rules.
Rules are dead, but people are alive. Now that you have become a professor, you can definitely afford to break one or two rules occasionally.
So Zhang Wei simply used Principal Gu as a shield. Professor Su would not really go to Principal Gu for verification anyway.
After sending Professor Su away, Zhang Wei came to Meng Heming's office.
"Zhang Wei is here? Sit down quickly!" Meng Heming was smiling, but this smile made Zhang Wei feel shuddering.
"Director Meng, are you also keeping an eye on my little fund balance?" Zhang Wei asked immediately.
“What? Someone is eyeing your budget balance?”
“Not only there is, but a lot of it!”
"Normally, such a thing as a fund balance is a rare occurrence in decades! In the past two days, a lot of people have come to me to inquire. You are now the most popular person in the department!"
" I think he's the big grudge in the department!" Zhang Wei snorted coldly.
Meng Heming asked: "Do you want to listen to my suggestion?"
"Then tell me quickly."
"You can lend this money to Let the department handle it in a unified way, so you don't have to worry about it. When you start working on the project again, the department will return the money to you," Meng Heming said with a smile.
"Lend it to the department? Are you sure you're not a meat bun beating a dog and never coming back? After doing this for a long time, you still treat me as a big enemy!"
Meng Heming smiled awkwardly, and then said: "Then The second way is to start a new project as soon as possible, so that the funds can be put to good use!"
"You really think highly of me! I just published an article in "Science" and let me know. When I go to work on a new project, that’s not how the production team works! Forget it, I’ll just figure it out myself!”
Zhang Wei changed his tone and then asked: “Director Meng, You came to me today not to deceive me about the remaining funds, right?"
"Look at what you said, what kind of person am I, Meng Heming?" Meng Heming continued: "Tomorrow. A leader will come to inspect the work, and they will be looking at your nucleoside modification technology. Please prepare yourself so that you can report to the leader then.”
"Whose leader is this time?"
"Sinopharm Group." Meng Heming replied.
Zhang Wei thought for a while and replied: "Sinopharm should be a deputy ministerial-level state-owned enterprise, the same level as our Tsinghua University. This requires special preparation by me!"
Zhang Wei He instantly put on the posture of a great scholar, as if to say, the person coming here is too low-level and I don’t want to serve him!
Meng Heming immediately explained: "This time is different. This time there are not only people from Sinopharm, but also three academicians, two from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and one from the Chinese Academy of Engineering. Three academicians are enough for you to receive them in person. ”
"Academician, that's okay." Zhang Wei nodded.
Meng Heming continued: "To be precise, they came this time to investigate the credibility of the mRNA vaccine! If the investigation results are optimistic, Sinopharm should invest in the research and development of the mRNA vaccine!"< br>
