"Uh, okay, I'll let Emma print out the minutes of the meeting and send them to you." Berg said helplessly.
The expression on Ruiz's face instantly brightened, "Just leave it to the boys in my lab." He paused and continued: "And Li's share, I think he will stay in my lab. a period of time."
"Got it." Berg replied weakly.
Quickly walked out of the entrance of the lecture hall, Ruiz dragged him and walked so fast that Li Zheng hardly had time to sigh.
Did he just leave? Li Zheng still couldn't help but look back at the wide open red door. He didn't expect that he would be able to leave so casually.
"What are you looking at? Li, is there anything special?" Ruiz noticed Li Zheng's movements, stopped and asked inexplicably.
He followed Li Zheng's gaze, nothing special, the lecture hall looked the same as usual.
Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, and recovered from his complicated thoughts, "It's nothing, just a little emotional. After all, it is Cold Spring Harbor." Li Zheng shrugged, not concealing his admiration for Cold Spring Harbor.
This time, Ruiz was stunned. He usually contacts people of the same generation as himself and Watson, even if Watson is the best among them, well, he has to admit this. . But it's just an admission in my heart, I want them to show this respect, stop dreaming.
Ruiz rarely dealt with backward biologists, or even if he dealt with them, he rarely paid attention to their thoughts. Seeing Li Zheng like this, he felt strangely uncomfortable.
"Isn't it Cold Spring Harbor, Watson's laboratory, come when you want, he can still catch you." Ruiz said sourly.
The junior he admired actually admired his competitor, and he was sad for a second in his heart.
Li Zheng didn't hear the weirdness in Ruiz's tone, but felt that Ruiz's natural tone was like a powerful bell ringing in his ears. The melancholy and regret in his heart were swept away and replaced by an unprecedented ease.
He has been confining himself to the pattern of the previous life, and suddenly turned around and found that he is standing in a higher position than the previous life.
"You're right, there will be more opportunities in the future." Li Zheng's mouth curved into a beautiful arc, and strode forward.
Ruiz shrugged suspiciously and followed quickly. This young Chinese scholar is so good-looking, like a star. It's just that his personality is a little weird. How do you say Huaguo, it's windy and rainy for a while
Ruiz's research laboratory is in the small town of Flushing. In 1987, the New York City area had not been merged. Queens was also called Queens County, and Flushing was a small town located in Queens County.
Flushing is a gathering place for Asian Americans. In Li Zheng’s last life, the scale of Flushing’s Chinatown has surpassed that of Manhattan, and it has become the first gathering place for Chinese in New York. Even in 1987, more than 50% of Flushing is now. Five 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 pop into his ears from time to time, and Li Zheng's facial expression could not help softening a lot.
"Li, I knew that 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, where the land price is relatively cheap and the transportation is convenient.
Sure enough, due to the existence of Metro Line 7, the Long Island Railroad and multiple bus routes, the town of Flushing has gradually become the economic center of Queens County. Residents living in Long Island, Westchester and New Jersey, especially the Chinese, like it very much. Shopping and spending in Flushing has also led to a surge in land prices in Flushing.
Building the laboratory in Flushing is one of the proudest things in Professor Ruiz's life.
"Yes, it's very kind here." Li Zheng smiled.
Li Zheng was led by Ruiz to the front of a building on the west side of the town. After the building was about seven or eight floors, there was a thick glass curtain wall outside, which was particularly conspicuous in the town.
"My laboratory is on the top floor." Ruiz led Li Zheng to the inside.
The men and women in the building all took the initiative to say hello to Ruiz, who nodded slightly, not very enthusiastic.
"Ding" the eighth floor arrived.
When he stepped out of the elevator, Li Zheng was a little surprised. This was the most modern laboratory he had ever seen in his life.
The 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 viewing glass. The inside can see the outside, but the outside can't see the inside.
"I have 18 project teams under me, and they all have their own laboratories. Because of Doitinib, the American Anti-Tumor Association has given my laboratory the title of an 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 just jealous of Watson being admired by Li Zheng.
"It's amazing, Professor Ruiz." Li Zheng sighed.
Ruiz stared closely at Li Zheng's eyes. He could see that Li Zheng's admiration was sincere, but it was just admiration. He sighed in frustration, while secretly cursing how old he was still eating this kind of stuff. vinegar.
"professor."
"professor."
Ruiz's palm was placed on the raised arc next to the glass door, the door slowly opened, and everyone in the laboratory raised their heads and greeted Ruiz one after another, while curious eyes also 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. The Chinese were still Japanese, but they didn't have Asian colleagues yet. They seemed to be a little younger and very good-looking.
The maternal instincts of several female researchers began to stir.
"Charlie, Jenny, Edward, you stay, the others are on vacation now! I will inform you of the deadline for the vacation." Ruiz said in a deep voice.
Everyone in the laboratory looked at each other in dismay, and then there was a huge cheer. The researchers quickly took off their jackets and walked towards the door of the laboratory while taking off their clothes, for fear that Ruiz would change his mind.
When several people passed by Li Zheng, they greeted him with a smile and said:
Li Zheng didn't explain, just nodded with a smile.
After 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 Xiangjiang, and the university where you teach in Huaguo also has a laboratory. Which laboratory do you collaborate in under the name of?"
Hearing this, Li Zheng unconsciously raised his right hand and rubbed his chin. Which laboratory to use for collaboration? If it is a general experimental project cooperation, Li Zheng will definitely choose Li Zheng's laboratory without thinking. After all, Li Zheng's laboratory is completely his private laboratory, and the ownership is clear.
But the 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 shameful thing for Chinese biologists in the 1980s. Should he make up for this regret
Although when he joined Huaqing, he and Zhao Depei signed a supplementary agreement to clarify the ownership of the patent rights, but an anticancer drug, a brand-new, landmark anticancer drug, Huaguo Biology and Huajing Can you really resist this temptation
"In my own name." After a long silence, Li Zheng said. Since it's not good to choose which side, then don't choose anyone. It would be better for the patent rights to be placed under his personal name. As for the genome project, the ninth laboratory must be involved.
Ruiz looked at Li Zheng in surprise.
Li Zheng smiled and continued, "However, I'm afraid I need Professor Ruiz to recommend two assistants."
Although Ruiz didn't know why Li Zheng made such a decision, he still nodded, "Of course, this is not a problem." This is almost a gift for him. Some people are willing to participate in this project, and he even thinks those in the lecture hall Colleagues, if they hadn't let themselves down, they would have asked to be Li Zheng's assistant long ago.
"What about the distribution of project results?" Li Zheng smiled and narrowed his eyes.
Ruiz looked at Li Zheng, his eyes were full of appreciation, his academic level was high, and his methods were not weak. When he was young, he was not so powerful.
Even the old boy Watson, he remembered that when he was young, he had a lot of face.
"Now when it comes to the distribution of patent rights, are you so confident?" Ruiz said with a raised eyebrow.
Li Zheng chuckled, "Professor, it should be said that we are all confident, otherwise we wouldn't be standing here, wouldn't we?"
Ruiz took a deep look at the young man in front of him, thought for a moment and said, "Actually, you have now completed 40% of this experiment, and we will complete the next 60% together. , assign patent rights according to the actual contribution rate, as for academic achievements…”
He paused, "If my lab has completed 30% or more of the project, we will work together, and my name will be after yours. As for the corresponding author, come here." Ruiz gritted his teeth and said .
He has not published an academic paper whose corresponding author is not his own for more than ten years. But this experiment, the idea is other people's, and they have completed 40% independently. No matter how thick he is, he is too embarrassed to grab the corresponding author of the younger generation. Of course, he may not be able to grab it.
