The Nobel Prize is still very well-known, especially after the publicity in recent years, it has become even more imposing.

Songdo Heng paid special attention to the expressions of the Chinese people around him and replied cautiously: "Mr. Yang Rui, as far as I know, the initial funding of the ion channel laboratory has been almost done. In my opinion, only by obtaining our investment can your laboratory complete the conformation experiment of G-protein coupled receptors. Moreover, if you aim for a complete conformation, not to mention $6 million, even $20 million may not be completed. Therefore, your assumption is based on results that you cannot obtain."

"We did spend almost the same amount of $6 million in the early stage." Yang Rui paused and said, "You just said that if you invest another $6 million, you can work with us to achieve a rough conformation of 50%?"

Matsushima Heng immediately confirmed: "Yes, that's what I expected."

In terms of rough conformation, this thing is really not rough.

Most laboratories or scholars cannot publish their results in one go. Those who dare to do this are top laboratories, and they have to be lucky.

Therefore, most researchers publish as much as they can.

Making a conformation is like drawing a ruler. You have to know the most basic restrictions to make a conformation, and the restrictions are made by a large number of experiments.

The so-called rough conformation is to obtain incomplete restrictions, such as 30%, 50%, 60%, 90%, etc. However, the so-called 50% restriction condition of Songdo Heng is not to make 50% from nothing, but to make 50% based on the existing ones. From his perspective, this difficulty is indeed quite large.

However, it is not the case if it is in the ion channel laboratory where a lot of money and time has been invested, especially in the ion channel laboratory covered by Yang Rui's golden finger halo.

Before Gu Qiang invented the "big pot stew", the 50% rough conformation was still difficult, but after that, it was meaningless for the ion channel laboratory.

To use an image explanation, if the conformation of the G-protein coupled receptor is a puzzle, each piece of the puzzle is equivalent to eating a raccoon instant noodles collection card. Eating a pack of instant noodles, you can get a card. The cards may be repeated or different. Half of the cards are called a rough conformation of 50%, and collecting all of them is equivalent to completing the conformation.

When the Ion Channel Laboratory was first started, like other laboratories, they bought three or five packs of instant noodles every day, hoping to get the cards they wanted by luck, but they found that they didn't work. So, each laboratory began to show its magical powers and created many theories. For example, instant noodles with the letter 5 at the end were easy to produce good cards, pinching instant noodles that were easy to break easily can produce good cards, and the instant noodles in Lao Wang's next door were easy to produce good cards, and so on.

Among the various theories, the Ion Channel Laboratory has chosen the most correct theory - buying 30 packs of instant noodles every day, it is easy to get a good card.

In fact, there are quite a few laboratories that choose this theory, but most of the laboratories that are qualified to choose this theory are composed of super foodies. You have to finish 30 packs every day.

In an era when the 20% rough conformation was not completed, most laboratories were in a rest period. Some could stick to 30 packs a day, while others could not stick to it. They bought 20 packs a day and combined with some other theories, and some were also used.

Yang Rui saw this loophole. Before others could react, he bought it from 30 packs, and soon overtook it to 40 packs, 50 packs, and 100 packs... It’s not that the foodie in the ion channel laboratory is higher than that in other top labs, but because Yang Rui invented a new method: just pick up the card and throw the noodles away.

When this practice quickly increased to 200 packs, it encountered a bottleneck - so much instant noodles that can be purchased in small shops every day.

Later, Gu Qiang invented a one-pot stew, which is equivalent to the wholesale tactic of instant noodles. It is a very simple and crude method. It throws away the middleman of the small shop and directly connects with the wholesaler. The purchase of instant noodles in the ion channel laboratory has suddenly increased to a scale of 1,000 packs per day...

That's it, it took several months for the Ion Channel Laboratory to collect all the cards.

The 50% rough conformation of Songdo Heng is based on buying 30 packs of instant noodles every day. It is naturally a big goal to imagine a 50% rough conformation.

For ordinary students in the class, it is also very pleasant to be able to collect half of the cards.

Songdo Heng was willing to pay more for this goal. He said openly: "If you are not satisfied with this funding amount, we can also talk about it."

Yang Rui smiled and said, "If you calculate this way, you can achieve a rough conformation of 50%, your expected cost is 12 million?"

Songdo Heng thought Yang Rui suspected that he had reported too much expenses, and said amused and crying: "A 50% rough conformation, it should be good to make $12 million. It depends on the progress you are doing now. However, I estimate that 12 million is about the same. Depending on the status of your laboratory, there are all kinds of instruments. Our Songdo Laboratory has also reserved not weak. The next thing is to expand the scale of the experiment. If you are not lucky, you should be able to make it within $15 million, that is, you will add another $9 million..."

"A rough conformation of 50% worth $15 million?"

"When we work together, we can't just count the funding when calculating costs and value," Matsushima Hengmo calculated. "Our Matsushima Laboratory is expected to invest two associate professors, 10 to 15 assistants, and the strong support of Dongda University. I think it's appropriate to double the value at $30 million."

"A rough conformation of 50% worth $30 million?"

"Yes."

"What about 90% of the rough conformation?" Yang Rui was like a hard-working hunter, silently digging a hole.

Songdo Heng lacks information, so he can guess what Yang Rui and the Ion Channel Laboratory are in now, but he laughed: "Although I said that 6 million US dollars can complete a 50% rough conformation, it is difficult to make a 90% rough conformation for US$20 million. Mr. Yang Rui, our goal should be more practical, right? First make a 50% rough conformation, and then talk about other things?"

Songdo Heng still has a certain degree of trust in Yang Rui and the Ion Channel Laboratory's abilities, otherwise he would not have come to China. However, his goal is not necessarily 100% clear conformation, 90% is very good, and 50% is also good. Not to mention, his tendency is stronger when he is still in a conversation state.

Yang Rui smiled and said, "Isn't this still a discussion?"

Songdo Heng didn't believe Yang Rui's words, and even guessed that he wanted to tell the leader himself.

However, Matsushima Heng didn't mind letting the leaders present understand the value of this plan. Anyway, China cannot come up with a large amount of foreign exchange for G-protein-coupled receptors, so he would rather exaggerate the difficulty.

Songdo Heng thought for a brief moment and said, "If Mr. Yang Rui's goal is a 90% rough conformation, we can invest more to US$20 million, and Songdo Laboratory will also increase its investment. To be honest, I am not sure that this is enough. A 90% rough conformation requires more energy and time. At this point, more investors may be introduced. Moreover, I hope that China can also add a certain amount of investment, not necessarily foreign exchange, but RMB funds are also possible."

He said half a sentence, and translated half a sentence loudly, and the leaders nodded repeatedly.

China was indeed short of money in the 1980s, but the central government did not lack RMB. No matter which unit it was, the RMB could be obtained.

What really makes leaders care about is the investment model of the entire ion channel laboratory. If there is really $20 million invested, then Peking University will definitely not be able to take it alone. Everyone needs to invest. If you can invest in RMB and then divide foreign exchange, that would be even better.

Yang Rui just smiled and continued to ask: "If this happens, the investment will exceed $26 million, and the value will be doubled to $52 million?"

"You mean the value of 90% of the rough conformation? That's more than that." Matsushima Hiroki smiled, looked at the leaders around him, and explained: "The time consumed by 90% of the conformation is also very risky. If any laboratory can be the first to make it, it would be too little to have a value of 60 million, and it would be no exaggeration to have 70 million."

"What about the value of a 100% clear conformation?" Yang Rui asked: "This is the result of the Nobel Prize level, is it worth it? Is it worth 100 million US dollars?"

Songdo Heng frowned without notice and said, "If you make a clear conformation of 100%, you will naturally be qualified to win the Nobel Prize, but the probability is not very high. Yang Rui, we are now working together in China and Japan, and we can temporarily set the goal at a rough conformation of 50%.

Liang Rui always paid attention to Song Dao Heng's expression, for fear that such a large amount of foreign exchange investment and cooperation would be gone, so he hurriedly said: "Yang Rui, don't think too much. Even if you have achieved something, you should pay millions or even tens of millions of dollars. Cooperation is the right one. Don't look too far now, come step by step."

"There is no way to do it step by step." Yang Rui spread his hands.

Liang Rui frowned: "What do you mean? Do you want to reach the top in one step? Professor Cai, your Peking University laboratory has too high ambitions."

Yang Rui showed a middle school temperament today, so strong that Liang Rui also asked Professor Cai to suppress him, so as not to be pulled up and fight.

But Yang Rui did not give him a chance to get out of the trap, and raised his voice, saying: "It's not that we want to reach the sky in one step, it's that we no longer need their money."

Before others could wake up, Yang Rui continued: "Not to mention the 50% rough conformation or 90% rough conformation, we have already made 100% clear conformation. They only need to pay $6 million to take away the project worth $100 million and put their own names on it. This business is too cheap. Director of the Book, are you here to evaluate it, is this appropriate?"

On the 15th anniversary of Dianniang, I held an activity to collect fan titles, which was very good. However, it was difficult to think about the name of Bird Dumpling’s fan club. I decided to expand it, collect it from readers, and give some of the students who participated, and the final selected names and mysterious gifts. For the sake of statistics, the students who participated were asked to leave a message on Bird Dumpling’s official account (znc100). The specific participation methods will be explained in detail here.
