Zhao Depei was puzzled. In the early morning, why did they gather in his office because they couldn't find a way to fight for any international scientific research rights
No matter what these Buddhas came for, Zhao Depei had to invite these national treasures in.
As soon as this group of people came in, the originally spacious principal's room became narrow.
Zhao Depei was intent on pouring water for everyone, but even if he poured the water, there was no place to put it.
He couldn't help but look at Chen Anbang, this little Chen gave him a hint.
Zhao Depei glanced at Chen Anbang from time to time and fell into Tian Lao's eyes. A smile appeared on Tian Lao's face, "Xiao Zhao, have you been busy recently?"
"As usual, it's the issue of the Huaqing Prize Scientific Research Fund entrusting a third party. This Li Zheng has been employed for more than a year, and I haven't been able to find him in a few days. No, this matter is on my head again. "Although Zhao Depei said that, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
The Huaqing Award has brought the prestige of his principal to an unprecedented new height. He is happy to worry about everything about the Huaqing Award.
Tian Lao and Yang Lao looked at each other, and the smile in their eyes became more obvious.
"Xiao Zhao, since you mentioned Li Zheng on your own initiative, let's just say it straight. You can contact Professor Li now. We want to confirm with him about the Human Genome Project in person."
Zhao Depei was taken aback, what about the Human Genome Project? The last time he repeated Li Zheng's words to Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang scolded, "Huangkou child, I don't know the depth."
How long has it been since then, "to confirm again"
Xu is that Zhao Depei's suspicious eyes were too obvious, and the old man Yang's face couldn't help but reveal a thin red of embarrassment, and he stared back fiercely. On weekdays, this little Zhao is not very winking, so why is he not clever at this time.
Tian Lao naturally heard what Yang Lao said that day. He smiled and said, "Lao Yang can't save his face. If you can get in touch with Li Zheng, let us have a word with him. He is an amazing scholar. He will win glory for the country and the country!"
Zhao Depei was shocked when he heard the words. Tian Lao's words were already highly praised. He guessed that Li Zheng must have done something, otherwise it would be impossible to make such a big change in the attitude of these domestic scientists who are above the top.
"I should be able to contact him. He gave me the number of Professor Ruiz's laboratory last time." Zhao Depei said.
"Professor Ruiz? A tenured honorary professor at New York University, the inventor of Doitinib, and the first person with lung cancer, Professor Ruiz?" Old Yang couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Yes... Yes." Zhao Depei said uncertainly. He didn't know that Professor Ruiz had such a large list of titles in Li Zheng's mouth. He remembered the voice calling Professor Watson's name on the phone that day. , he thought, there shouldn't be two such Ruizs in New York.
It took a long time for Mr. Yang's rapid breathing to calm down. He will not forget the trip to the United States 20 years ago. He and his teacher stood outside the lecture hall of New York University for two full hours, just to listen to it completely. Professor Ruiz's class.
But he never thought that the name Ruiz would reappear in his world in this way after twenty years.
"Then fight quickly!" Old Yang couldn't help urging.
Zhao Depei nodded and picked up the microphone under the expectation of everyone.
One second, two seconds...
"Hurry up!" Seeing that Zhao Depei didn't move for a long time, even a good-tempered old man like Tian couldn't help urging him.
Zhao Depei coughed dryly, "Teachers, can you stand back a little bit, as I get older, I get nervous and have difficulty breathing when there are too many people."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and when they heard the words, they looked around, only to realize that these people actually surrounded Zhao Depei's desk firmly, and they were still trying to lean forward, wishing they could directly stick to the microphone.
"Cough, if you hit you hit, leave us alone." Old Tian blushed and waved his hand.
Everyone also took a few steps back embarrassedly, looking at their noses and noses, saying that the person who was embarrassed just now was definitely not themselves.
"Beep" the call was transferred several times, and finally got through to the Ruiz laboratory in New York.
A series of fluent English came from the other end of the phone, and Zhao Depei also said in English: "I'm looking for Li Zheng, Professor Li."
"Professor Li? Are you?"
"I'm the president of Huaqing University and Li Zheng's boss." Zhao Depei didn't know why he said this, but he felt a guilty conscience for no apparent reason. It was obvious that he was telling the truth.
"Professor Li's boss?" There was obviously a commotion on the other end of the phone, and everyone couldn't help but lean forward slightly again and pricked up their ears to hear the response from the other end.
The sound effects of telephones in the 1980s were exceptionally "excellent", and everyone could clearly hear someone on the other end of the phone talking quickly in English, and after about 30 seconds, the person on the other end said again, "Professor Li and Ruiz The professor finished his lab work five days ago and was stationed in a hospital where medicine is clinical, and I can give you the phone number of the state hospital."
After the foreigner said a paragraph in English, he repeated it again with difficulty in Chinese. After that, he said with some respect: "I am one of Professor Li's research assistants. My Chinese has been learned in the past few months. Maybe it is not good enough. I hope you can understand it."
He said stutteringly, but clearly expressed what he meant.
He is a Ph.D. in biology from New York University, and served as Li Zheng's research assistant in this experimental project. For the sake of Professor Li Zheng, he temporarily learned Chinese.
Zhao Depei felt a sense of pride from the bottom of his heart.
"Your Chinese is very good, and your sincerity is also very good. I am very fortunate that Li Zheng has an assistant like you." Zhao Depei unconsciously took on a hint of official accent.
The person on the other end of the phone seemed a little excited when he heard the words, and repeatedly said that he was only an assistant of Professor Li's researcher, and it was his honor to be able to participate in this project, etc. Obviously, the compliments that Li Zheng's boss said came to him. Said to have a lot of weight.
Zhao Depei and everyone present couldn't tell how they felt. Two days ago, the national talent plan required to attract foreign highly educated talents. Huaguo offered excellent conditions. Huaqing and Yanda were almost sales invitations, but let alone Doctoral students, even master students from prestigious foreign universities, will lose interest when they hear about Huaqing Yan University.
But now, a doctoral student at New York University has gone to study Chinese in order to cooperate with Li Zheng's work. Judging from the stumbled but clear Chinese proficiency of this doctoral student, he has put in a lot of effort. After all, Chinese is one of the most difficult languages to learn in the world, and he has only learned it for a few months.
Zhao Depei didn't know what his mentality was, so he couldn't help but ask, "Since you and Li Zheng cooperated so well, if Li Zheng returns to China, are you interested in coming together?"
The foreigner on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and then said without hesitation, "If Professor Li is willing to let me join his personal team, of course I will!"
"Principal, can you do this for Professor Li? Or can you have a good word for me? I heard that Chinese people like American electrical appliances, right? I came to China, but my parents are still in the United States. If you need it, I can ask them to bring you American appliances anytime."
This blunt bribe came to everyone's ears from the sound of the phone.
Zhao Depei took a deep breath and suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart, "I will bring your sincerity." Li Zheng's researcher's assistant is a doctoral student at New York University, so who is Li Zheng's researcher
Through the phone number given by the researcher's assistant, Zhao Depei contacted Li Zheng.
"Sorry, Principal, I forgot to inform you that I am no longer in the laboratory. What, are you looking for me now, is there anything?" Li Zheng's apologetic voice came from the other end of the phone.
Zhao Depei took a deep breath, and found that after the phone call just now, he had a sense of burden talking to Li Zheng, a sense of burden that he would only have when talking to a respected senior like Tian Lao.
"Li Zheng, Mr. Tian and the others want to have a phone call with you."
"Elder Tian?"
"Tian Xiangjun?" Li Zheng's first reaction to Tian Lao from Zhao Depei's mouth was this person, a figure of the same generation as Tong Lao, although this biological achievement is far less than that of Tong Lao, but he and Tong Lao But an excellent partner.
One of them is talented and the other is diligent. If Tong Lao is the builder of modern biology in China, then Tian Lao is the one who fills the framework called biology.
"I didn't expect our Professor Li to know my name. It's a great honor." Tian Laozhong's full voice sounded.
Zhao Depei handed the phone to Tian Xiangjun.
Li Zheng on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment. Is Mr. Tian actually by the phone? He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. After all, calling the senior's name directly is not such a polite thing.
"Hello Mr. Tian, I have learned your name in biology textbooks more than once. You have always been my role model." Li Zheng would still say good things.
"Professor Li, I'm not going to detour with you anymore. Is the seat of the Huaguo Human Genome Project true?" Mr. Tian's voice was trembling when he said this.
A human project that claims to be comparable to the human moon landing project and the Manhattan atomic bomb project. If Chinese scientists can participate in such a project, he will close his eyes and be willing.
All the Chinese biologists in the room held their breaths, waiting for Li Zheng's answer on the other end of the phone.
Li Zheng was silent for nearly a minute.
Everyone just felt that this minute had never been so long, and their hearts seemed to be mentioned in mid-air.
"Really, but it may be a little different from your understanding."
Li Zheng hesitated for a moment, but said the truth: "My laboratory can participate in the Human Genome Project, I am Chinese, and my laboratory is also Chinese, so Chinese scientists can participate in this experiment, but I cannot guarantee Chinese scientists I can participate in it in the name of the Huaguo National Project."
"After all, the former is a matter of science, and the latter is a matter of politics. And the Human Genome Project has invested heavily. Does the country have this determination?"
