Back To The Age Of The 80s

"Uh, well, I will let Emma print out the meeting minutes and send them to your hands." Berg said helplessly.

The expression on Ruiz's face instantly became bright, "Just leave it to the boys in my laboratory." He paused and continued: "There is also Li, I think he will stay in my laboratory. a period of time."

"Got it." Berg replied feebly.

Quickly walked out of the lecture hall door, Ruiz led him to walk fast, so fast that Li Zheng had almost no time to express emotion.

He just left? Li Zheng still couldn't help but looked back at the wide open red door. He didn't expect that he could leave so coolly.

"What are you looking at? Li, is there anything special?" Ruiz noticed Li Zheng's movements and asked inexplicably.

He followed Li Zheng's gaze and looked over. There was nothing special. The appearance of the lecture hall was still the same as usual.

Li Zheng was taken aback, and recovered from his complicated thoughts, "Nothing, just a little emotional. After all, it is Cold Spring Harbor." Li Zheng shrugged, making no secret of his admiration for Cold Spring Harbor.

This time Ruiz was taken aback. He usually comes into contact with people of the same generation as himself and Watson. Even if Watson is the best mixed among them, well, he has to admit this. . But it's just admitting it in my heart. I want them to show this admiration, don't dream.

Ruiz seldom dealt with less advanced biologists, or even if he dealt with them, he seldom paid attention to their thoughts. Seeing Li Zheng like this, he felt strange in his heart.

"Isn't it Cold Spring Harbor, Watson's laboratory, come whenever you want, he can still catch you," Ruiz said sourly.

The junior, whom he admired, actually admired his rival, and he was sad for a second in his heart.

Li Zheng did not hear the weirdness in Ruiz's tone, but felt that Ruiz's natural tone was like a majestic bell ringing in his ears. The melancholy and regret in his heart was swept away and replaced by unprecedented ease.

He kept confining himself to the pattern of his previous life, and suddenly turned his head to find that he was standing now higher than his previous life.

"You are right, there will be more opportunities in the future." Li Zheng's mouth evoked a beautiful arc, and strode forward.

Ruiz shrugged suspiciously, and quickly followed. This young Chinese scholar is so good-looking, like a star. It's just that the character is a little weird, how do you say it in Chinese, it will be windy and rainy for a while?

Ruiz's research office is in the small town of Flushing. In 1987, the New York city was not merged. Queens was also called Queens County, and Flushing was a small town in Queens County.

Flushing is a gathering place for Asian Americans. In Li Zheng’s last life, Flushing’s Chinatown had surpassed Manhattan and became the No. 1 gathering place for Chinese in New York. Even in 1987, Flushing exceeded 50%. Five of the residents are all Asian.

Of course, the Asians here are not only Chinese, but also Koreans, Indians, Pakistanis and so on.

As soon as he entered the small town of Flushing, one or two familiar pronunciations could burst into his ears from time to time, and Li Zheng's facial expressions could not help but soften a lot.

"Lee, I knew you would like Flushing." Professor Ruiz looked a little proud.

Professor Ruiz’s laboratory is a completely private laboratory, so at the beginning of the laboratory, his funds were very tight, so he chose Flushing, which has relatively cheap land prices and convenient transportation.

Sure enough, due to the existence of Metro Line 7, Long Island Railway and multiple bus routes, the small town of Flushing has gradually become the economic center of Queens County. Residents living in Long Island, Westchester and New Jersey, especially Chinese, like it very much. Going to Flushing for shopping and consumption has also led to soaring land prices in Flushing.

Building the laboratory in Flushing is one of Professor Ruiz's most proud things in his life.

"Yes, it's very kind here." Li Zheng smiled.

Li Zheng was led by Ruiz to a building on the west side of the town. After the building was about seven or eight floors behind, there was a thick glass curtain wall, which was particularly conspicuous in the town.

"My laboratory is on the top floor." Ruiz led Li Zheng to walk inside.

The men and women in the building took the initiative to greet Ruiz, and Ruiz nodded slightly, not very enthusiastic.

"Ding" arrived on the eighth floor.

Stepping out of the elevator, Li Zheng seemed a little surprised. This is the most modern laboratory he has ever seen in his life.

There is a long corridor. On both sides of the corridor are small laboratories separated by glass. Of course, Li Zheng knows that these glasses are one-way visible glass. The outside can be seen from the inside, but the inside cannot be seen from the outside.

"I have 18 project teams underneath, and they all have their own laboratories. Because of Doinib, the American Anti-tumor Association gave my laboratory the title of International Anti-tumor Center, so the funding is still very sufficient. "Ruiz said while observing Li Zheng's reaction.

Well, he admitted that he was jealous of Watson being respected by Li Zheng.

"It's amazing, Professor Ruiz." Li Zheng exclaimed.

Ruiz stared closely at Li Zheng's eyes. He could see that Li Zheng's admiration was sincere, but it was nothing more than admiration. He sighed in frustration, and at the same time he cursed himself for how old he was still eating this vinegar.

"professor."

"professor."

Ruiz's palm was placed on the convex arc beside the glass door. The door slowly opened. Everyone in the laboratory raised their heads and greeted Ruiz. At the same time, their curious eyes fell on Li Zheng.

"Professor, is this our new colleague?" An older researcher took off his mask and said with a smile.

The experimenters in the laboratory also looked at Li Zheng, Chinese or Japanese, they don't have Asian colleagues yet, they seem to be younger and very beautiful.

The maternal instincts of several female researchers began to move around.

"Charlie, Jenny, Edward, you stay, and the others are on holiday now! I will inform you of the deadline for the holiday." Ruiz said in a deep voice.

Everyone in the laboratory looked at each other, and then a huge cheer sounded. The researchers quickly stripped off their coats and walked towards the laboratory door while undressing, for fear that Ruiz would change his mind.

When several people passed by Li Zheng, they greeted with a smile and said:

Li Zheng didn't explain, just smiled and nodded.

When everyone left and the glass door was closed again, Ruiz looked at Li Zheng, "Li, I think this project will last for a while, don't you need to find two assistants?"

"I remember that you have your own laboratory in Hong Kong, and the university where you teach in China also has a laboratory. Which laboratory is used for cooperation?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zheng lifted his right hand unconsciously and rubbed his chin. Which laboratory should I use for collaboration? If it is a general experimental project cooperation, Li Zheng would definitely choose the Li Zheng laboratory without even thinking about it. After all, the Li Zheng laboratory belongs to his private laboratory and the ownership is clear.

But this experiment is closely related to the Human Genome Project. China, which accounts for one-fifth of the earth’s population, was excluded from the Human Genome Project. This was the most regrettable and even ashamed thing for Chinese biologists in the 1980s. Should he make up for this regret?

Although when he joined Huaqing, he and Zhao Depei had signed a supplementary agreement to clarify the ownership of the patent rights, but an anticancer drug, a brand new and landmark anticancer drug, Huaguo Biology and Huajing Can you really resist this temptation?

"In my name." Li Zheng spoke in silence for a long time. Since it's not good to choose either side, don't choose anyone. It is better to put the patent right under his personal name. As for the genome project, the ninth laboratory must participate.

Ruiz looked at Li Zheng in surprise.

Li Zheng smiled and continued: "However, I am afraid I need Professor Ruiz to recommend two assistants."

Although Ruiz did not know why Li Zheng made such a decision, he nodded, "Of course, this is not a problem." This is almost a free gift to him. Some people are willing to participate in this project, even he thinks those in the lecture hall If you are not willing to give up, you would have asked yourself to be Li Zheng's assistant.

"What about the distribution of project results?" Li Zheng smiled and narrowed his eyes. The seniors belonged to the seniors. Some things are still clear.

Ruiz looked at Li Zheng with a stronger sense of appreciation in his eyes, his academic level was high, and his methods were not weak. When he was young, he was not so good.

Even the old man Watson, he remembers that when he was young, he was very face-conscious, and it was difficult for him to speak for himself in front of the old man, and he suffered a lot because of it.

"Now talking about the distribution of patent rights, are you so confident?" Ruiz raised an eyebrow and said.

Li Zheng chuckled, "Professor, we should say that we are very confident, otherwise we would not stand here, would we?"

Ruiz looked at the young man in front of him deeply, thought for a moment and said: "According to the actual calculation, you have now completed 40% of this experiment, and we will complete the next 60%. , To allocate patent rights according to the actual contribution rate, as for academic achievements..."

He paused, "If my laboratory completes 30% or more of the project, we will tie it together, and my name will be behind you. As for the corresponding author, come." Ruiz gritted his teeth and said .

He has not published academic papers whose corresponding author is not his own for more than ten years. But the idea of ​​this experiment is someone else's, and they have completed 40% of it independently. No matter how thick-skinned he is, he is not embarrassed to **** the corresponding author of the younger generation. Of course, he may not be able to get it.
