Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

Chapter 362: burn one's boats

"Reduce expenses? Our initial agreement didn't say that." Richard's nose was about to hit Principal Pang's face.

Principal Pang was very annoyed and said: "I explained to you that the school's policy has changed. It's not that I want to go back, and I can't help it. It's not that I don't want to help you, but I have no other choice."

"You can choose to abide by the agreement." Richard said with a sigh of relief: "We have a contract, and there is a provision for information. Your funding should last for more than one year. During this period, you can't withdraw if you want to withdraw."

"The school's funding has stopped, and it's useless for you to force me." Principal Pang said very upset.

"The school is the subject of signing the contract. If you break the contract, I will sue." Richard had no choice but to raise the final litigation stick.

As Richard expected, Principal Pang really hesitated, but after about two minutes of thinking, Principal Pang slowly shook his head and said: "This is not my decision. I can only express regret, although I don't want to appear. Such disputes, but just like what you Europeans and Americans said, don’t punish the sender, I am just a sender."

Richard didn't believe it: "You are the principal of the school and you are in control. How can you not be able to decide."

"Vice principal, I am the vice principal." Principal Pang emphasized in English, this is his rare real title to describe himself.

No threat of litigation can solve the problem, and Richard is suddenly gone.

In fact, he does not want to proceed with litigation. This is a time-consuming and costly activity. Although there are lawyers who can complete most of the work, the litigant's participation is still required. In addition, lawyers charge a lot of fees.

Although Richard is a well-known professor at the University of California, his salary is only tens of thousands of dollars because he teaches in public schools. He is naturally richer than the Chinese in the 1980s, but in American society, he is just a good middle class. class.

Of course, if Richard is willing to abandon his teaching position and go to a pharmaceutical company or other similar private companies, his annual salary can easily reach hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even exceed one million dollars, just like the Trapp of Zeleca.

But before that, Richard's personal income was not high, and he did not have the soil to engage in academic affairs.

At this point, Richard did not even have the nourishment of the returnees who returned to work in China.

However, Richard still had the University of California as his backer. After sending President Pang away annoyingly, Richard immediately notified the University of California of the matter.

You came and I talked about the two schools for a few days, and Richard received a call from the University of California: “Peking University will provide you with 30% of the agreed funding, and the University of California will increase funding equivalent to 20% of the agreement. But for the remaining 50%, you have to rely on yourself."

Richard involuntarily started to scratch his hair. The cost was reduced by 50%. It is not as simple as the language description. The cost is half, the experiment can not be less than half, the equipment can not be less than half, and the reagents can not be less than half...

A half of the funding is almost impossible to sustain for a new laboratory.

Richard said angrily: "They signed an agreement, you should let them execute the agreement."

"You can hold them legally accountable, but you should understand that the reason for China's reduction of expenditures is that you have not produced anything in the past six months." The person in charge of the University of California did not want to bear the reputation of incompetence, and immediately guilty. Pushed on Richard.

Richard was speechless, and he was not particularly good at talking.

The tone on the other side of the phone became better, saying: "The only support we can give you is to provide you with funds in advance, so that you can maintain your research for the next period of time. For the remaining gaps, I suggest you look for new ones. Investors, or seek support from public funds."

Talk about the bad news first, then the good news, and then give a possible solution, which can indeed solve the severe heart congestion.

Richard regained his spirits and decided to follow the other party's suggestion.

In the United States, finding support from investors or public funds has always been the main task of laboratory managers. Some laboratory managers will spend a quarter or even a third of their time and energy on fundraising.

Richard has tried to seek help from individuals or institutions more than once. In most cases, the individuals and institutions that invested in him are worthless, and in a few cases, the investors or investment institutions have obtained the corresponding In return, although it sounds a bit unreliable, in fact, Richard's record is quite good.

The biotechnology from the 1970s to the 1980s, like the Internet in 2000, received crazy investment across the United States and the world. Most of the investment was at a loss, and the loss was extremely serious. However, the reason why venture capital is Venture capital lies in their ability to withstand risks and focus on the proportion of success.

Even the Chinese side has also been affected. Richard's laboratory can be built so smoothly, and his excellent record is also at work.

Up to now, Richard’s excellent record has not changed. He did frustrate Yang Rui’s scientific research competition, but the Richard Laboratory of Peking University has not been revoked. That is not a failed record, let alone the current one. Status, one more failure record will not have much impact.

The only problem is to be blinded, flattered, and wasted time.

After careful consideration and discussions with his old friends in the United States, Richard decided not to return to China, but to make something and then look for new funds. However, the risk of doing so was even greater. If it takes two months to find money, then he has to make something meaningful within three months, and the relevant research is done now, with three months of experimentation, the fault tolerance rate is very low.

Richard resolutely decided.

He found President Pang again and made his own request, saying: "If you give me the remaining funds all at once, I will give up the lawsuit and find a way to maintain the results of Richard's laboratory. They will also sign the name of Peking University in accordance with the original agreement."

Principal Pang naturally did not dare to agree.

Richard added weights, threatening to evacuate directly, and exposed his behavior at the next International Medical Bioengineering Conference, and directly named President Pang.

Only then did Principal Pang feel the pain on his skin and hesitated.

After several days of entanglement, Richard finally got the money for the next few months, and it was the last money that Peking University gave him.

Richard used the money to order new equipment and reagents. Most of the materials used in biological experiments were not made by himself. Some small biological companies specialized in providing them. This is also the foundation of small biological companies.

Ordinary university professors, if they can make one or two competitive biomaterials to start a company, it will be easy to make millions of dollars in annual profits.

In the 21st century, this trend has also spread to China. The research goals of many professors, researchers and even graduate students are to apply for patents, open small biological companies, as small as precise pH test paper, bacterial culture media, immune cells, and even rats and rabbits. Chimpanzees can create great profits.

In the 1980s, there were fewer such biological companies, and the prices of biological materials sold were more expensive, but no matter how expensive it was, it was cheaper and cheaper than the laboratory itself.

Richard threw himself into it.

It is not easy to make something for investors before the funds run out.

Richard has become busier than before, which also means that Xu Anqing, Zhu Jiahao and others are busier.

If these two scientific research dogs were only squeezed out of bleeding before, they are now about to be squeezed out of their bone marrow, not to mention that they still need to take the final exam from time to time.

After only three days of work, Zhu Jiahao couldn't stand it anymore, and Xu Anqing persisted for a long time.

I only sleep for four hours a day and do high-intensity precise experiments. I still have to read literature and review exams when I have a little free time. It is okay to think about it, but it is too painful to do it. Moreover, human body functions can't be done. To unlimited overdraft.

After falling asleep during the exam the next day, Xu Anqing couldn't help it anymore and found Richard and asked for a vacation.

Richard was furious: "You are freshmen from the same school, Yang Rui can persist, why can't you persist."

Xu Anqing heard the green veins jump and said: "If you talk about working hours, Yang Rui can't insist on us."

Zhu Jiahao also nodded again and again and said, "Yang Rui is going back to celebrate the New Year, so what are you insisting on."

Richard's eyelids twitched: "What do you mean?"

Xu Anqing said angrily: "Yang Rui's daily working hours..."

"It's not you." Richard interrupted Xu Anqing and asked Zhu Jiahao: "What do you mean when Yang Rui went back to celebrate the New Year?"

"Chinese New Year is like you celebrate Christmas..."

"I know the Chinese New Year, I mean, he went back to celebrate the New Year? Has he left?"

"I haven't left yet, but I'm preparing. I heard from his fellow villagers that Yang Rui bought them all train tickets." Zhu Jiahao was very envious and asked, "It's not a few days since the Spring Festival. When will we have a holiday."

"We don't take a holiday!" Richard's eyes flashed, and he said: "Yang Rui is too naive, now I go back to the New Year, do you expect me to let him go? Hmm... maybe he is setting off smoke bombs, let us relax our vigilance, Don't worry about him, the more such a moment, the more we should work hard..."

"He has announced a holiday~www.readwn.com~The people in the Huarui laboratory can go home if they want to go home. Those who are local or not can stay and pay overtime." Zhu Jiahao is almost the same. Talking with his tongue out.

"We can't decide our own behavior based on the opponent's movements." Suddenly, Richard began to use opponents to describe Huarui Lab.

Xu Anqing frowned and asked Zhu Jiahao in Chinese in a low voice: "Why are you so clear about the situation in Huarui Lab?"

"I'll just ask people." Zhu Jiahao felt a little frustrated.

Bang bang bang!

Richard's clapping of hands interrupted Xu Anqing's questioning. He called all the people in the laboratory and started the speech before "Victory". The focus was to make persistent efforts to defeat Hua Rui.

Zhu Jiahao let out a mournful cry and thought: I would not come to Richard's laboratory if I knew it.
