Chapter 509 Looking for a fight
When Yang Rui heard Liang Jinrong's rapid and sucked his voice, he patted his shoulder comfortably and smiled at Gibson: "It's not necessary. We just do some research. It can't take 30,000 US dollars and it is not suitable to receive funding from Coca-Cola. Now, independent research is more appropriate."
Gibson didn't say anything, Liang Jinrong stood up and said, "That... I have something to go out, you guys."
As he said that, Liang Jinrong pulled and pulled his students out of the room.
Yang Rui thought about it and understood that he was worried that he would not be able to hide his face and could not agree to Coca-Cola's request.
I will take out $30,000 now and buy a crown car. I can buy a house in Beijing for the remaining money, and I can buy some jade or something left, so I can wear it all over my body.
However, for Yang Rui, who has dividends from Coenzyme Q10 factory, $30,000 is tempting, but it is not a decisive factor.
If his life was to make money, he would not have chosen the path of scientific research at all.
For Yang Rui, making money is a means, not an end.
In the past year, he has worked hard to make money so that he will not interfere with his experiments because of money.
Not to mention that what Gibson proposed was $30,000, that is $130,000, $330,000, $3 million - of course, you have to agree directly, and those who do scientific research are not stupid.
However, in Liang Jinrong's eyes, Yang Rui was somewhat stupid.
Because Yang Ruiyi refused Gibson in a righteous manner and said, "We have made a plan and want to do projects, then do projects. I don't plan to ask for Coca-Cola's money."
Yang Rui pulled Liang Jinrong back and said, "Let's continue talking."
Then, he didn't need Manager Xiao to translate, and said it to Gibson in English.
Gibson's expression is not good-looking, not good-looking, and he is helpless.
If it was in the United States or in Europe, he had countless ways to make Yang Rui submit. However, in China in 1984, every American had to walk on thin ice, so how could he dare to use tough measures to deal with Yang Rui?
At this time, Coca-Cola did not have many tentacles available from abroad.
After thinking carefully, Gibson switched to a very convincing language model and persuaded: "Mr. Yang Rui, we do not want to interfere with your research. On the contrary, we respect your research very much. It is because of this that we will provide you with funds."
After a moment of pause, Gibson stressed: "Even if your research conclusions are not in the interests of Coca-Cola, we respect your conclusions. As that said, I disagree with your point of view, but I swear to defend your right to speak to the death."
The students present were excited for a while. No matter who had heard this or who had never heard this, they felt a sense of pleasure from the bottom of their hearts after thinking about it.
This is a good thing, the cornerstone of democracy is worthy of this.
Yang Rui, who wanted to vomit, had greatly increased his immunity. He looked like a pagan who was not taught and said, "Thank you, but you still don't need it."
"Mr. Yang Rui, there is no condition for a funding of $30,000." Gibson was anxious.
"Sponsorship itself is a condition." Yang Rui opened the door and said, "If you don't mind, we have something to talk about in private."
Gibson gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Yang Rui, if you insist on this, we can only fund the funds to others. Their research conclusions may not be what you like."
"Scientific research competition? If this is the case, 30,000 US dollars is not enough. Do you know how much I spent when I was doing potassium ion research?" Yang Rui said that Gibson's face turned pale.
Similarly, the students who were just hot and cold were excited again. Although the directions were different, as long as there was a reason to be excited, it was enough to be exciting.
Gibson lowered his head and said cowardly: "Of course it's not that I want to compete with you. To be honest, we don't want to compete with you. We just... just want to make up for it. I don't know what to do to satisfy you?"
If this posture is used in the ancient Chinese behavior, it is basically a begging.
Liang Jinrong, who just felt that Yang Rui was a little stupid, couldn't help but feel a surge of passion.
With a few words, the so-called defeated soldiers without fighting is nothing more than that.
Any Chinese native intellectuals who are indigenous to take advantage of this kind of thing will never be able to walk.
This is the purpose of reputation. If Yang Rui, a repeater a year ago, said that I would do a project for carbonated beverages, who cares?
Even before CELL was published, no one cared about what project Yang Rui did.
But now, everyone in this circle has to look at it with wide eyes, no matter whether they like Yang Rui or not, where does Yang Rui's achievements be placed.
He has invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in projects, high-citation long papers in top journals, and the victory in scientific research competition. Each of them is a record that makes scientific research apes tremble.
Everyone present is in the scientific research circle and has more or less intersected with Yang Rui. These people also know Yang Rui's history.
Before CELL was published, Yang Rui could raise hundreds of thousands of dollars to have an asymmetric scientific research competition with professors from the University of California. With a funding of 30,000 US dollars, it would be really not enough to compete with Yang Rui after CELL's paper was published.
Even if Coca-Cola can increase its investment in funds, how much can it be invested?
Richard spent more than 1 million US dollars that day, but he still lost. What if Yang Rui increased the funds to 1 million US dollars?
Coca-Cola's wealth and mighty power are naturally an advantage at some point, but now it is not necessarily true.
If the Chinese government knew that Yang Rui was going to hold a scientific research competition with Coca-Cola, he might have agreed...
Even if Coca-Cola wins, it may be a failure.
Gibson's head was spinning very quickly, and in addition to bowing his head, he could only bow his head.
"I won't deliberately discredit Coca-Cola. The reason why I want to do a project for carbonated beverages is just because I have some scientific research ideas when visiting Coca-Cola, so I hope it will be realized now. You don't have to pay special attention." Yang Rui comforted Gibson half-truely and half-falsely, and said: "Now I'm just doing animal experiments with guinea pigs. As you said, there are many differences between human bodies and guinea pigs. Didn't you do guinea pigs' drinking experiments yourself?"
Gibson's eyes were about to turn red, and he thought to himself: You actually want to say that now it is just an animal experiment, and then you will still do human experiments.
If Yang Rui really did take a long-term health observation in a certain country as he said, I don’t know how many times Coca-Cola would make headlines.
If it were other researchers, Gibson would never be so nervous. This is like Liang Jinrong in front of him. If he wants to observe health in other countries, he will first face the problem of international cooperation. There are not many high-level international papers and no foreigner will play with him.
Secondly, cross-border cooperation especially requires the accumulation of laboratories. It is inevitable to do research first and then apply for funds. Otherwise, a long wait will make people crazy.
Finally, the approval systems of different countries are different. Although health observation does not affect the body of the experimental subjects, it still requires the consent of the government. It has no reputation and is not well prepared for the experiment, especially the reserves of funds. It is difficult to obtain approval documents from any country.
Although Yang Rui's scientific research experience is short, it is very efficient. At present, he has solved almost the two most important parts, capital and reputation.
Of course, reputation is endless, but in terms of international cooperation, the reputation brought by papers is often the most important part, and Yang Rui has also reached the entry-level international cooperation, which is enough.
Gibson finally left without anything. Before leaving, he left two boxes of Coca-Cola, which were distributed to everyone by Yang Rui, two bottles per person, which was a good gift for parting.
Tu Xian was a little nervous and asked Yang Rui: "Is it okay to offend Coca-Cola like this?"
Liang Jinrong also turned around and expressed his concern.
Yang Rui smiled and said, "Coca-Cola is still in the pioneering stage in China. Gibson not only cannot represent Coca-Cola, but he cannot even represent large regional companies such as Coca-Cola Asia or Asia-Pacific. He does not represent Coca-Cola China branch. He just messed up the matter and wanted to make up for it now."
"So, if you offend, you would offend Gibson alone?" Tu Xian's expression was much more relaxed.
"Or, plus senior executives of Chinese companies such as Sherwood, in short, even if we offend the Asia-Pacific region, we will not be affected." Then, Yang Rui smiled and said, "Besides, if we don't fight, we won't know each other, if we know each other, we should know each other more," he said.
Tu Xian and Liang Jinrong showed a look of sudden enlightenment.
Wei Zhenxue was still puzzled, so he picked up a small wine cup, sipped it for a while, and said, "According to what you said, are you just looking for a fight now?"
Tu Xian’s wife Wang Xiaoyun slapped Wei Zhenxue without hesitation and sighed: “You are looking for a fight.”
Wei Zhenxue touched the back of his head and agreed: "You are right."
