Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

Standing at the door of the ion channel laboratory, Heng Matsushima was still a little excited.

He straightened his collar before smiling and nodding to the people at the door, and walked into the laboratory first.

Professor Cai and other leaders of Peking University were standing under the eaves with expressions of welcome, but Yang Rui was placed in the outer circle instead, which was regarded as half of the background.

Matsushima found Yang Rui at a glance. Matsushima had seen his photos many times, and every time he was amazed at his youth and handsomeness.

Heng Matsushima did not want to come to the Ion Channel Laboratory of Peking University for no reason, just like his 20 million US dollars, nor did he get it for no reason.

As a professor at the University of Tokyo, Hisashi Matsushima is not stupid, and major companies including Mitsui and other consortiums are not stupid either.

20 million U.S. dollars was also a lot in 1986 when the yen appreciated. In fact, even if the current Japanese companies and Japanese people are full of ambitions and want to buy the world, when it comes time to pay, tens of millions of U.S. dollars Still have to think twice.

In the end, the reason why Matsushima went to China in person with 20 million US dollars in his pocket was nothing more than the fact that the Wang Qi of g-protein coupled receptors was too attractive.

For Matsushima Tsune, no matter what method is used, as long as he can be named in the research of the Nobel Prize-level G protein-coupled receptors, there are infinite possibilities, and it is worth his special trip.

For large consortiums or companies such as Mitsui, an extra amount of funding for the Nobel Prize can be worth the fare in itself, and the most attractive thing is that g protein-coupled receptors are important for medical research. Impact.

The connection between g protein-coupled receptors and the Nobel Prize was not created out of thin air, but because it is extremely closely related to human body and medical research. Ten new drugs emerged.

It is also because of this that the strangling battle in the field of g protein-coupled receptors is so fierce. Behind countless top laboratories are a large number of foundations and funding from large pharmaceutical companies.

The international scientific research pattern after World War II is like this. Scientific projects that can earn the most money can receive the most funding, and basic scientific research projects that can promote profitable scientific research can receive the most attention.

Of course, it is inevitable that a large amount of funds will pour in. The mission of the large number of foundations founded by those "philanthropists" is not necessarily to fulfill charitable causes, but more to crowdfund funds and invest in projects they care about. For example, the bosses and senior officials of large pharmaceutical companies participate in charitable funds. Although they do not pursue profit, they will definitely look at projects like g-protein coupled receptors.

The same is true for Mitsui and Matsushima Heng. The funds they paid and the funds they applied for from the state are all used in a direction that is beneficial to themselves.

Matsushima Heng looked at Yang Rui as if looking at a beautiful trophy.

He waited for the greetings of a group of Chinese leaders to end, and immediately stood up and said hello: "Mr. Yang Rui, I am Matsushima Heng from the University of Tokyo. I have read many articles published by you...can I visit the ion channel laboratory?" ?"

"Of course, please come in." Yang Rui had already tidied up the laboratory. After the first phase of research was completed, he was facing the situation of publishing papers and entertaining reporters and scholars.

Matsushima walked into the ion channel laboratory with great interest, and compared it with the ion channel laboratory in his fantasy.

In a semi-through laboratory, the instruments are arranged from the beginning to the end, and there is already a prototype of a large-scale laboratory. The experimenters are in their positions, operating a small number of equipment...

Matsushima Heng approached one of the experimenters, carefully observed his operation, then raised his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Very proficient."

"Thank you." Yang Rui followed his footsteps, not really letting him be free in the laboratory.

"You have practiced for a long time."

"Indeed it is."

"What's the current progress?" Matsushima Heng asked politely.

"The current progress..." Yang Rui said here,

He smiled, but stopped, and said, "Sorry, this is something that is not convenient to disclose in the laboratory."

Matsushima Heng's face froze for a moment, and he said with a smile: "Please don't get me wrong, I don't want to spy on your information, I'm just looking for cooperation, and I always hope to understand the other party's situation as much as possible."

"Of course." Yang Rui said noncommittally, of course he would not cooperate with Henglai Matsushima, but there was no need to categorically refuse in front of so many people.

Matsushima Heng looked at Yang Rui again, only to feel that the color of the trophy in his eyes seemed to be much dimmer.

Matsushima hesitated for a moment, decided to come up with something more attractive, and said: "Mr. Yang Rui may not know me, but I have paid attention to you and the work of the Ion Channel Laboratory of Peking University for a long time. I've been thinking about collaborating with you since you got involved with the G protein-coupled receptor project, and I got some financial support for that."

"Oh."

"The Mitsui Consortium is the most supportive of my proposal. Mr. Yang Rui, if you are interested, we can get to know each other in depth. If we can cooperate, the Mitsui Consortium can provide great help." Heng Matsushima Looking into Yang Rui's eyes, he said, "For now, only one item of funds from Mitsui Corporation can cover the entire expenditure of the Ion Channel Laboratory of Peking University."

As a laboratory director, funding is always very tempting.

No matter how unwilling to cooperate, Yang Rui couldn't hold back the burning gazes of the people around him. He raised his head slightly and said, "Thank you Mr. Matsushima for your running and help."

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Matsushima Heng smiled so warmly, like an old man playing chess in the park, and said: "Can we talk about the situation of the ion channel now? Let's talk about the funding situation first, ion Is the funding for the channel laboratory still sufficient?"

Yang Rui hesitated for a moment, but did not speak immediately.

Director Liang Rui saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. He couldn't help but said: "Mr. Songdao, you may not know that there is another story about the funding preparation of the Ion Channel Laboratory of Peking University."

"Oh?" Of course Matsushima Heng knew, but he was just pretending to be curious.

"When Director Yang Rui first proposed to make G protein-coupled receptors, the preparation of funds was very problematic. Our domestic research funds are very limited, and the support for scientific research projects cannot be compared with developed countries. , However, we also know that the project proposed by Comrade Yang Rui is very important..." After clearing things up, Liang Rui said: "In the end, Director Yang Rui proposed a plan, based on his existing patents, In exchange for funds, to do this project..."

Yang Rui stood aside, listening quietly, and did not refute Liang Rui's Spring and Autumn writing style, anyway, it was for foreigners to listen to, so that's all true and false.

Matsushima Heng seemed to have listened, and nodded repeatedly: "Mr. Yang Rui's approach is really admirable."

"Mr. Yang Rui is a true researcher, and it is the best choice to cooperate with him." Director Liang Rui wholeheartedly wants to keep Matsushima Heng's investment. For him, the funding for entering the Ion Channel Laboratory of Peking University , can be regarded as his achievements.

Matsushima Heng agreed very much, thought for a moment, and said: "I can't make too many promises, but I can say that it is no problem to give the Ion Channel Laboratory of Peking University a sum equivalent to the start-up funds. Of course, I still have to inspect the entire laboratory before I can formally sign the agreement."

"Ah... Thank you, thank you Mr. Matsushima." Director Liang Rui was beyond excited.

Others also rushed up involuntarily, asking about the total amount and other information. From their point of view, the 20 million that Matsushima Heng brought, and the rest, even if it is leftovers, can make everyone eat very well. Fragrant.

Matsushima Heng listened hard through the translator. After a while, he pressed his hands and said with a smile: "I know that the first batch of funds for the ion channel laboratory is 6 million US dollars, which is no problem. Our initial funds are also So much can be given. Not only that, but we at Dongdae University and Songdao Laboratory are also willing to join in with all our strength to help Mr. Yang Rui complete the project as soon as possible.”

After a short pause, Matsushima Heng said again: "Mr. Yang Rui, with the Mitsui consortium, Dongda University, and the full support of our Matsushima laboratory, I believe that within a year at most, we will be able to achieve considerable results. In the first-level scientific research competition, we won the leading position."

"Quite a result?" Yang Rui still asked.

Matsushima's face was straightened, and he said seriously: "What I can guarantee here is that at least I can have an in-depth understanding of the conformation of g protein-coupled receptors. If I do a quantification, I hope to make a rough one. The conformation map, about 50% of the constraints, are confirmed!"
