Chapter 1017 Come and Cooperate

Yang Rui made a few phone calls, first recruited a veteran to act as a guard, and then found an engineering team to divide the laboratory like a large warehouse into several parts and install door locks at the same time.

Compared with the quick-thinking and dull-looking researcher, Yang Rui is actually not quite used to the straight-forward style of soldiers. The so-called scholar encounters soldiers without reason.

However, it would not take a day or two to get a police office for the genetic engineering laboratory, but he couldn't wait.

He needs a stubborn soldier to guard the door now, lest he be driven in again.

Feng Guanghan, a veteran, likes this job very much.

Haidian District Genetic Engineering Laboratory is a district-level laboratory, and it is also a national official unit. Although there are a little fewer people and no establishment, Feng Guanghan is very satisfied if he can not go home immediately.

Nowadays, Beidiao has actually existed. However, those who have jobs are not drifters, they are considered to be rooted in the capital, and those who do not have jobs are not called Beidiao, they are called blind drifters, and they are the objects that everyone hates.

It is the wish of most people who have been to this city not to be an idler but also to stay in Beijing. Feng Guanghan, who once served as a soldier in the suburbs of Beijing, is one of them. His family is from a county town, so the conditions are better than 90% of rural soldiers, but everything in Beijing still dazzles him.

In the capital city, the construction funds invested in one street may be higher than the annual budget of a county. In fact, the county where Feng Guanghan is located has only two streets in the whole county, and the combined length is less than five. kilometer.

Compared with his comrades who retired at the same time, Feng Guanghan is very satisfied with being able to find a job. If he does not have this job, no matter how reluctant he is, he can only go back to his hometown and wait for the government to arrange a job. If you are unlucky, you will go down to the villages and towns to be a mud leg eating public meals.

Therefore, from the first day of the genetic engineering laboratory, Feng Guanghan took out the posture of the new barracks, standing at the door in a standard posture, unshakable.

Only when Yang Rui came over did he salute and shout, "Hello, Director."

After such a day, Yang Rui was also a little helpless, he had to pull Feng Guanghan's hand off himself, and said with a smile: "Our laboratory, we don't need to be so mobilizing, I don't know, I thought we were some kind of password agency, you just Just sit down and don't let anyone come in casually."

"Yes." Feng Guanghan saluted again.

Yang Rui could only smile and shook his head, and then said: "In the past two days, there will be an engineering team entering the site, building walls and so on, you should also pay attention to it, firstly, don't allow people to come in, and secondly, don't harass the researchers in the laboratory. Third, they are not allowed access to the lab."

"Yes."

"Don't think too much, but don't be too slack." Yang Rui instinctively believed that there would be no spy drama in which real people steal data in his laboratory, but he still needed to avoid it. There are too many benefits.

To say that he used to do frozen embryo transfers of mice or rabbits did not cause much reaction, but he just managed to divide cow embryos, which attracted waves of researchers. In the final analysis, it is still profit Tangled too deeply.

The animal husbandry industry in the world counts as one, and the most valuable animal husbandry product will always be cattle.

Regardless of whether it is raising ostriches, feeding wild boars, farming snakes, turtles, scorpions or salmon, in the final analysis, it is not an order of magnitude with cattle farming.

This is not only a question of total quantity, but also a question of market size and profit margin. For example, soft-shelled turtle farming, for about ten to fifteen years, has a very high profit margin, much higher than that of cattle farming. Withdrew from the country, and the improvement of varieties and the development of breeding technology are out of the question.

Barely survived.

If it is considered the overall income, except for the turtle farmers who enter early and leave early, the rest do not earn much. If the investment in the site and equipment is not realized well, even if he has experienced a good year, he still cannot earn much. to how much money.

The same examples include abalone, grouper, turbot and other products. They have been high-margin mid-to-high-end aquatic products for quite a while, but their market potential is limited after all. Nutritious, high-protein and delicious food can't save the decline of the industry. When it comes to healthy, delicious and high-nutrition, tomatoes, potatoes and eggs are all top-notch. It can be seen that these factors have never been the main factors in determining prices.

Cattle farming is different.

Its market is almost infinitely broad, the global stock is infinitely approaching the 1 billion mark, and the annual consumption is 50 million tons, and it has continued for many years.

The consumption of 50 million tons, in 2015, is equivalent to an output value of 2 trillion yuan. This is only beef cattle, milk and related dairy products, cattle feed and related industries. I don’t know how many people have been fed.

It goes without saying that a market that can maintain such a data year-round is stable, and the industries derived from it are also quite stable.

For example, scientific research institutions, not to mention high-tech industries, grab more than 30% of profits for further research and development, but because the market scale is large enough, it is very important for everyone to share 3% of profits.

For the essentially poor research direction of animal husbandry, the word "cow" has a golden light.

And unlike wild boars, snakes, Doraemon, and soft-shelled turtles, the research and development direction of cattle breeding is also very broad. Whether you want to increase production or improve meat quality, no matter how you research it, it is correct. The important thing is that someone pays the bill.

Other types of aquaculture are not necessarily the case. For example, in snake aquaculture, it is basically meaningless to improve meat quality, because everyone eats snakes based on species theory. The more venomous the snake, the better the taste, or the more venomous the snake, the better the medicinal effect. , That's all, no matter how delicious you improve the meat quality of cauliflower snakes, no one will pay for it. Therefore, in the end, all those who engage in snakes become breeders, and their academic value is getting weaker and weaker.

Since the 1960s and the 1970s, the embryo transfer has been a pearl in animal husbandry research, and the embryo transfer of cattle is a golden pearl. Scholars in domestic animal husbandry research are all coveting it.

On the one hand, it is because of the high value of the golden pearl. On the other hand, the position of this golden pearl is not high. Although it is not within reach, it is still very hopeful to reach it on tiptoe.

That's pretty cool.

Compared with other research in the field of animal husbandry, such as transgenic, compared with breed improvement, such as cloning, embryo transfer takes less time and has obvious social benefits.

Although it has been done for several years, no research institute has produced a finished product, but as far as the current scientific research progress is concerned, the others are not too slow.

If it takes a few more years, there will eventually be a research institute that completes the cattle embryo transfer project. At that time, it will naturally be a great thing to gain both fame and fortune. Even if the research institute has not produced a finished product, it may not necessarily It’s a disadvantage, because after a few years, they have accumulated more experience. They can not only provide technical guidance to state-owned enterprises, but also cite references through constant exchanges of articles...

The birth of Yang Rui's genetic engineering laboratory shattered the wishful thinking of countless people.

Half a month to complete the mouse experiment, one month to complete the frozen embryo transfer, two months to complete the rabbit's frozen embryo transfer, and soon to complete the cattle embryo division...

This kind of scientific research progress, in the eyes of other scientific research institutes, there is only room to look up, as if you are driving a tractor and looking up, a helicopter flies past your head. This is not just the speed beyond, the important thing is that the tractor may not be able to do what the plane can do!

Other scientific research institutes are not ready yet. Now they have completed embryo segmentation a little bit better, and they are almost at the level of veterinarians. Not many people have been exposed to frozen embryos. When the time comes, how to guide manufacturers ?

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yang Rui's goal must be the frozen embryo transfer of cattle. This method is the only way to achieve industrialized embryo transfer of cattle. However, there is no research institute that can do this step.

That is to say, if someone buys frozen embryos, you still can't handle the embryo transfer. In this way, not to mention getting funds from the manufacturer, it is impossible to even write papers.

Nervous emotions may naturally bring unreasonable actions.

Especially researchers in the field of animal husbandry. Many people have been working on this project since a few years ago. For example, Li Xingzhou of the North China Animal Products Research Institute, who led the project, not only spent millions of dollars, but also many researchers for several years.

No one is willing to let them give up now.

Most importantly, how will the past investment be recovered?

This is also the main reason why Li Xingzhou came to him.

Ten years ago, in the era of national chess, whoever researched everything was assigned. There has never been a situation where everyone researched a project in a rush, and only one person benefited in the end.

Now, the situation has changed too much.

Unfortunately, Yang Rui had no intention of sympathizing with the other party.

Sympathizing with them is nothing more than another injustice to hard work.

A company like China Animal Husbandry has tens of thousands of employees and raises tens of millions of cattle, but it doesn’t make as much money as foreign ranches with hundreds of people. Why?

Although using the technology of embryo transfer to spread out the breeding of fine-bred cattle on a large scale, it will not be able to reach the per capita output value of foreign countries at once, but it is also an excellent start to double or triple the increase.

No way, just to make up for the inner shortcomings of a few researchers, let the tens of thousands of employees of China Animal Husbandry lose a large chunk of income for nothing. The foreign exchange loss caused by this is even more than the construction of several laboratories.

In the final analysis, the work of Li Xingzhou and others is too inefficient.

Based on their current research progress, it will take more than three or four years to develop a commercially viable embryo transfer technology. After three or four years, foreign biotechnology service companies should enter China on a large scale.

Now is the era of worldwide animal husbandry technology improvement. Biotechnology service companies in Europe and the United States are earning high salaries in developed countries. They don’t care about China. When they care about it, the work of Li Xingzhou and others will be meaningless.

Or, looking at it from another angle, it may be because foreign technology companies have aggressively entered the country that Li Xingzhou and others obtained the corresponding information or were stimulated to complete the entire project.

In the final analysis, there is no motivation without competition. Li Xingzhou and others are still in the model of national projects a few years ago. Anyway, the project is mine, and I can finish it anytime. As for whether it is useful to the industry, it is none of my business.

It was only the appearance of Yang Rui out of nowhere that stimulated Li Xingzhou and the others.

However, Li Xingzhou's first reaction was never to speed up research.

On Wednesday, Li Xingzhou came to the door again. This time, he was accompanied by Director Bai and Director Qu, as well as several donors of the genetic engineering laboratory.

"I said that we have been studying bovine embryo transplantation for several years. If we cooperate with your laboratory, it may be faster. Everyone is very interested. No, everyone wants to come and have a look." Li Xingzhou looked at it with a smile Looking at Yang Rui, he greeted him imposingly.
