Chapter 1012 Counterexample

Yang Rui does not expect the genetic engineering laboratory to be profitable.

Even if cattle embryo transfer can make money, this is just the basis for maintaining it in the early stage. With the increase in technical difficulty, biology laboratories that are biased towards basic research will always need external support.

Moreover, Yang Rui didn't want this public laboratory to become a money-making tool. What China needs are efficient and high-level laboratories, and there is no shortage of three melons and two dates earned by your laboratory.

If it is for making money, in China in the 1980s, the first choice was in the field of commodity circulation. People who set up stalls on Xiushui Street made a lot of thousands of dollars a month, and some even earned more than 10,000 dollars a month. In the 1980s, the monthly income exceeded 10,000 yuan, and ordinary people dared not even think about it, so that they themselves were frightened.

It is too difficult to say that researchers in the laboratory want to achieve the same output value, can do it, and want to achieve the same profit and income.

Those who engage in investment and finance are also very profitable. Now there are a large number of people who are throwing away stamps and phone cards. If you have some capital and a little foundation in stamp collecting, it is really not difficult to make money.

As far as the industry is concerned, the total profit value of light industry is currently the highest in the country. Even if Yang Rui devotes all his energy to the genetic engineering laboratory, in the long run, he may not be able to earn more than large garment factories and large paper factories. In terms of profit margin, it is even more incomparable. How much does a laboratory invest? Not to mention the annual maintenance cost, you can spend a few paper mills casually, but the income is not necessarily satisfactory.

In the current social environment, most technologies are not easy to exchange for money. The rise of biotechnology companies in the United States is just a matter of recent years. Before Reagan’s New Deal, American biological laboratories still lived poorly.

Counting on large state-owned enterprises or up-and-coming private companies to purchase technology, that itself requires technology. This money can only be earned by people like Ding Shiyi and Jiang Zhijun. Otherwise, using your technology without paying you is usually called looking up to you.

If Yang Rui's laboratory relies on this money to survive, it will sooner or later become a vassal of Ding Shiyi and Jiang Zhijun.

Instead of this, he might as well continue to be a happy public laboratory, and spend the money of the state and society at the budget stage, without considering the issue of technological returns.

As long as the laboratory can continuously produce high-level technology, people will naturally feed it. This approach will inevitably encounter a financial crisis, but there are a few laboratories that can really be financially free.

It is Harvard's laboratory, which raises tens of billions of dollars a year, but it is still short of money. When the year is not good, it still has to cut projects and lay off employees.

It is impossible for Yang Rui to ask for a large amount of funding from the state for the genetic engineering laboratory in a short period of time.

The country's scientific research funding allocation has various hard conditions. The so-called system is also, you can't just give you money just because you see your laboratory has potential.

It must be upgraded step by step. Municipal laboratories are tens of thousands of yuan a year, provincial laboratories are hundreds of thousands a year, national laboratories are several million a year, and how much money are given to national key projects, and provincial and ministerial key projects. How much is the project...

The newly established genetic engineering laboratory is like a newly graduated student becoming a civil servant. No matter how well you do, you cannot jump to become mayor and governor in one step.

On the other hand, the money of state-owned enterprises is not so complicated.

Yang Rui and state-owned enterprises did not want to make a one-off deal when they raised funds.

Furthermore, state-owned enterprises that can pay hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands really want to get their money back. It is not an option for a small genetic engineering laboratory to fail. It is better to give them seven days to decide whether to regret.

After waiting for a while, representatives of several companies that donated money all came to the laboratory.

They just donated money two days ago, and several companies are actually not at ease. Even if Yang Rui doesn't call, they all want to come to the genetic engineering laboratory to have a look.

The reception area of ​​the laboratory quickly became chaotic.

Director Mei never expected that so many familiar state-owned enterprise officials would do the same thing as him.

To a certain extent, these people can also be regarded as like-minded.

"Lao Miao, Lao Yu, you also donated money to Yang Rui?" Director Mei showed a long-lost smile.

The officer who was called came over with a smile and shook hands with Director Mei.

The old Miao smiled and said, "It's not enough if you don't donate. You are just a herdsman, and the scale is so big in a year. You have eaten meat, so you must leave some bones for us."

"People have said that the technology is public if you donate money or not. In addition, donating money is not beneficial, it's just investing money." Director Bai couldn't help but say something sarcastic, he just couldn't understand Yang Rui's high toe It's just that he is angry, or he can't understand Yang Rui's stance higher than himself.

"That's what you said, but he gave you the technology, can you use it?" Jiang Zhijun had already sat on the side, drinking tea at this time, and said with a smile.

Director Bai was stunned for a moment, and said: "The technology has been made public, how difficult it can be."

Jiang Zhijun just laughed, stood up, walked to the small circle where Director Bai was, and said in a voice just enough for Director Bai and Director Qiu to hear, "The simplest embryo transfer technology, the one that doesn't freeze or divide, is the earliest embryo transfer technique abroad. Just make it public, you can get it for a few thousand dollars, at most 10,000 to 20,000 dollars, and as a result, how many can do it in China? Not one of them.”

"Which unit are you from?" Director Bai was a little unhappy.

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I have opened a company specializing in technical services. This is my business card." Jiang Zhijun said, and sent him a business card.

Chairman Qiu didn't answer.

Director Bai received it in his hand, but he didn't look at it. He shook his hand and said, "You go into business and want to eat technology. Of course, you have to talk about how difficult it is. We have our own R&D center, so we don't need it." technology you provide."

"But you can use the technology provided by this laboratory." Jiang Zhijun looked at Director Bai with a smile.

Director Bai's face changed slightly: "What do you mean?"

"We have cooperated with the Genetic Engineering Laboratory of Haidian District. In order to ensure the high efficiency of technology transformation, our technical service company has agreed with the genetic engineering laboratory of Haidian District. Once the commercialization of embryo transfer is realized, our service company will give priority to selecting personnel to accept Haidian District genetic engineering laboratory training, and then, will serve you." Jiang Zhijun explained easily.

Director Bai and Chairman Qiu frowned.

Chairman Qiu said a little unhappy: "Isn't the technology public?"

"The technology will be made public. If your research institute can replicate it, no one will stop you. At that time, maybe we can cooperate." Jiang Zhijun said, looking around to make sure his voice is controlled within a small circle , just smiled and said: "We mainly serve companies that cannot complete technology transfer independently. After all, the last thing you want is a calf, right? In fact, even if you do it yourself, buy various reagents, train and study, and All kinds of equipment will not be cheap, if the success rate is lower, why not let us do it, right?"

Jiang Zhijun talked about the success rate, but Director Bai and Chairman Qiu stopped talking.

In the use of high technology, the success rate is the most annoying. If the success rate is not considered, some domestic research institutes can already claim that the frozen embryo transfer is successful. Of course, they are claiming that now, but it is completely useless. That's all.

Enterprises want this technology to make money, not for lottery.

But to ensure the success rate, there are too many details. Some factory technicians can earn a lifetime salary with just one or two tricks.

At this time, Yang Rui came back from the experimental table and said with a smile: "Everyone is here, thank you for coming to our genetic engineering laboratory despite your busy schedule. Today we will hold a short meeting for donors, mainly Chairman Qiu and Director Bai. , I raised a very interesting question today, about whether your donation is worth the fare."

He pointed in the direction of Director Bai and Director Qiu, leading a group of people to look over.

Yang Rui turned around and said again: "Chairman Qiu, our genetic engineering laboratory is very grateful for the donation from Huaixi Dairy Company. We also need this money very much, but I hope this is something you like. The good thing is that your company made the right choice based on its own strategic considerations and its sense of social responsibility."

"Therefore, our genetic engineering laboratory has made a decision that the donated funds will not be used within seven days, and the donor will also have seven days to choose whether to withdraw from the donation."

Yang Rui's expression is solemn, and his words are also full of respect.

Several people looked at Director Bai and Chairman Qiu, and asked in a low voice.

To say that Chairman Qiu didn't have a strong idea of ​​quitting, after Jiang Zhijun's "reminder", he naturally wouldn't quit.

However, it's still very shameful to admit cowardly like this, and the two of them didn't mean to speak for a while.

Yang Rui didn't give them time to think, smiled and continued: "I know, you two are very scrupulous, after all, donating funds to us, but without the slightest control, feels very uncomfortable, but I think It is necessary for our laboratory to formulate such a system, and I am afraid it will not change on this issue."

Director Bai and Chairman Qiu suddenly realized that they had set Yang Rui as a counterexample.

Whether they quit or stay, it will only strengthen Yang Rui's donation system.
