"If a precedent is set today, it will chill the hearts of returning scholars. If foreign scholars refuse to come back, China's science and technology will stagnate. Can you afford this responsibility?" Zhao Depei was trembling with anger. , Mr. Meng is no longer there, and he is the only one in Huaqing who can yell at this group of people.
He also knows that in the current situation of the country, it is not easy for everyone, especially foreign exchange. From top to bottom in China, one penny can't wait to be split into two cents.
Foreigners do not say that China is prohibited from selling high-tech equipment, and they also give higher-than-market prices for orders from Huaguo. Huaguo is poor.
Sitting beside the large conference table are the all-powerful figures in the country.
After listening to Zhao Depei's words, they were all silent. But there was no mention of the 30 million.
After deliberating for a long time, Zhao Depei decided to go to the ninth laboratory in person.
The contract with Novartis was signed two days ago, and Novartis called the first payment very quickly, 10 million. When Zheng Guangye and the others got the thick red envelope, they couldn't believe their eyes.
That's dollars! US dollars! For such a thick stack of US dollars, there is probably a small amount of 20,000!
They dare to say that all the belongings in their family are not worth the red envelope in front of them!
"Professor, this is too much, and the salary you paid us is already very high." Zheng Guangye said sincerely, he is a very planned person. Before graduation, he will find a laboratory to learn experimental skills and add a brilliance to his resume. Pen. As for which laboratory it was, he didn't care.
Therefore, when Li Zheng fully supported Meng Jie as their head, Zheng Guangye didn't take it to heart at all, because at that time he had no sense of belonging to the ninth laboratory.
But after the CH5 solution project, he found that the ninth laboratory is what he was looking for, the place where he can realize his ideal!
"Take it, take it, you deserve it. When you become researchers in the future, you will be able to be on your own, and there will be more." Liu Sichao's mouth grinned, because he was the researcher who took a lot of money and could be on his own. .
Sun Bin and Lu Keke foolishly looked at the red envelopes in each other's hands, smiling like two big fools.
As for Meng Jie, his dark face turned red, making his entire face black and red.
Zheng Guangye glanced at him and felt a sense of disgust for no reason. He was so stupid that he was still his subordinate...
"President..." Meng Jie looked at Zheng Guangye as if asking for help.
Zheng Guangye…
When Zhao Depei came in, everyone had just finished dividing the money.
"It's a mess outside, but you guys are in good spirits!"
Zhao Depei's heart was sour, but he saw the red envelopes in the hands of those young men. He was an old man who had been the principal for half his life, and he was not as rich as his own students.
"Principal Zhao, you're here." Li Zheng stood up and poured a cup of tea for Zhao Depei himself, using the tea that David brought to Liu Sichao.
Liu Sichao…
"Oh, the special offering?" Zhao Depei took a sip and raised his head in surprise. As the principal of Huaqing, he could naturally eat the specially offered tea.
However, the special tea also scored three, six, nine, and the one that Li Zheng took out belonged to the better quality.
"David brought it here." Li Zheng said with a smile.
When Zhao Depei heard the words, a complicated look flashed on his face, "A lot has happened in the past few days. I heard that people from Roche, Novartis, and Pfizer have all come?"
"Well, Bryce has returned to Basel, and Anthony and David are still staying at the Huajing Hotel."
"Two years ago, the Ministry of Health tried very hard to invite Mr. David over. The Minister of Health flew to Xiangjiang twice, and when I heard that the first time, he waited at the door of Mr. David for more than an hour."
Li Zheng fiddled with the watch for a while, "David is a bit willful sometimes."
Zhao Depei gave Li Zheng a deep look.
"I'm not going around with you anymore, do you know what I'm looking for from you?"
Li Zheng raised his head.
"Zhao Mu has been here," he said.
Zhao Depei also knew a little about the relationship between Li Zheng and the secretary of Huagang. Seeing Li Zheng calling him by his first name, he was surprised, but it was a family affair, and he, the principal, was not good at participating.
"You are too eye-catching this time." He smiled bitterly, "But I really didn't expect that a laboratory could create such great value."
"That's because the country has ignored the huge value of this piece. In the international community, the protection of patent rights is very important. What drives human evolution is knowledge, and it is knowledge that creates the greatest productivity of mankind. It is not that there are no good patent projects in our country. , some can be converted into huge economic value, but unfortunately..." He did not continue.
Zhao Depei sighed, "Don't worry, with your precedent, they should put patent protection on the agenda as soon as possible."
Li Zheng raised his eyebrows, which was a pleasant surprise.
"Just before I went out, I received a call." Zhao Depei suddenly brought up a topic that seemed completely unrelated.
"What phone number." Li Zheng knew that it was impossible for Zhao Depei to mention the phone number in front of him for no reason. The only possibility was that the phone number was related to him.
"It's the first chief." He said word by word.
Li Zheng was shocked, and could no longer maintain his calm face. For that person, he had a deep respect for that person.
"The chief said that Hua Guo is poor, but he can't be poor." Zhao Depei patted Li Zheng's shoulder, "With the words of the chief, no one will beat your idea of 30 million dollars."
Li Zheng's heart was shocked. With this courage, it is no wonder that under his leadership, Hua Guo has overcome all obstacles and walked through the most difficult road since the founding of the new country.
He lowered his head slightly, and suppressed the emotion in his eyes. After a long time, he said again: "Actually, I have already thought about the purpose of the 30 million US dollars. The ninth laboratory of Huaqing University in the ninth laboratory. , half of the patent fee will be turned over to Huaqing University, as for what Huaqing will do with it, I don't ask."
"As for the other half, use five million US dollars as the laboratory's daily operation and scientific research funds, and the remaining ten million US dollars will be established in the name of Huaqing University's Ninth Biological Research Laboratory as the Huaguo Scientific Research Fund as an outstanding contribution to the Chinese state. Living allowances, project awards, etc. for scholars, and the Huaqing Award is established on the basis of the fund.”
"Huaqing Award?!" Zhao Depei opened his mouth wide, his heart beating fast, setting up an award in the name of Huaqing? It's what he thought!
"Yes, the awards are set up in the name of Huaqing. There is one award for each discipline such as physics, chemistry, biology, etc., and the selection is held once a year. The rules are similar to the Nobel Prize. The winners of each discipline will receive a prize of 500,000 yuan each year. I After calculation, 10 million US dollars, as long as the most basic monetary fund investment is made, the interest for one year is enough to cover the bonus expenses." Li Zheng talked eloquently.
Zhao Depei was so surprised that he could put an egg in his mouth, and at the same time his cheeks became flushed with excitement.
To set up an award like Nobel in the name of Huaqing? ! This sentence kept repeating in his mind, making him tremble with excitement.
This is a feat that can be included in the history books! This award was established during his term of office. If the Huaqing Award can really continue like the Nobel, then he is the principal! Named in the annals of history! Famous for eternity! He had never felt so close to these two distant words.
After about fifteen minutes, Zhao Depei slowly calmed down his excitement, and he let out a long breath.
"Li Zheng, you will really surprise me!"
Li Zheng laughed dumbly, "As for the operation of the foundation, I hope to entrust it to a third party. I don't know much about the domestic financial industry, so I have to trouble you, principal!"
Zhao Depei responded, "Don't worry, although the domestic investment market has not been liberalized, the international investment market is still being operated at the national level. I will find a suitable candidate!"
Li Zheng nodded, he was not worried that Zhao Depei would not be sad. Huaqing Award, Zhao Depei, the principal of Huaqing, should wish to establish this award tomorrow.
"Then Li Zheng, I'll go back first. If you need any help, just tell me. I don't have any other use, but I still know a few people." Zhao Depei couldn't stay still for a moment. Said that 15 million US dollars will be handed over to Huaqing University.
Huaqing University had never dealt with so many dollars, and he had to convene the leadership to discuss a charter. Moreover, since Li Zheng is willing to hand over such a large amount of foreign exchange, those people will have no scruples, and they will reach out when they should.
He must report it as soon as possible, this is not something that a school in Huaqing can stop. There is also the matter of the Huaqing Award. When he thinks of the Huaqing Award, he feels like a kitten is scratching in his heart.
However, Zhao Depei did not report Li Zheng's idea, the Chicago court accepted the lawsuit of the University of Chicago Biological Laboratory, and at the same time sent an international mail to the Meng Jiayin Laboratory of Huaqing University and the Ninth Biological Laboratory of Huaqing University. A subpoena was issued.
After the news came out, the domestic media was instantly fried.
In the 1980s, the domestic media had a deformed sense of identification with foreign media. Naturally, the American media sided with the University of Chicago and denounced Huaqing University for stealing scientific research projects. Many domestic media followed suit.
After receiving the subpoena, Chen Anbang couldn't sit still, and he went to the ninth laboratory immediately.
"What should Li Zheng do? The teacher's chase meeting is just a few days ago, but something like this happened. Those rumors outside are really killing people!"
