Chapter 118: $2 Billion a Year
The next day, the matter about Rupert was agreed. On the third day, on the transfer flight from Western Europe to Shangjing, Shangjing and then to Yangcheng, Rupert had already embarked on his Chinese research career.
[Humans with scientist potential of 95.1 were detected, please pay attention to the host]
Lu Yi, who came to pick him up, just saw Rupert's figure, and a system prompt rang in his mind.
This old guy has something.
Lu Yi was stunned. After wandering around major laboratories in China in the past two months and having frequent contact with the top group of academic experts and scientific research experts in China, he had discovered a rule of systematic scoring.
According to the physiological state of a person and the active state of brain thinking, the dividing line is about 40 years old, and the potential will begin to decline after the age of 40.
Although data from the entire academic community shows that the age of 40 is the period when a scholar's achievements explode, most of these achievements are actually caused by the accumulation before the age of 40.
If he remembers the information correctly, Rupert is 49 years old this year. The influence of physiological factors has already brought his potential into a slow decline. He can still maintain a potential value of 95.1. Then 15 years ago, when this guy was young, he estimated that his potential should be more than 97.
"Lu, I really didn't expect that in reality you are younger than in the photos. You must have a lot of troubles when you look so handsome."
Lu Yi was stunned, but Rupert recognized him and walked up with his suitcase and wanted to give him a kind hug.
"Sorry, I'm not gay!"
Lu Yi, who reacted, quickly dodged away and shook his head and said, "I know I am handsome, but this does not require a man to praise it. It is also a compliment from an old man who is 50 years old and wants to be completely bald. This is so terrifying.
If you could have put this kind of flattery and good words into research before, I dare say that your research would have been a breakthrough."
Foreigners are naturally enthusiastic and simple, but if they add the words of praise and praise themselves before the hug, Lu Yi will feel goosebumps, and Jingmin will not thank him.
"Oh no, Lu, I'm different from you."
Rupert shook his head and said, "You don't learn to flatter those damn capitalists. Sometimes, no matter how good your research is, they won't pay attention to you. Without a consortium investment, I have no funds. I have become accustomed to this over the years."
"Congratulations, from today on, you don't have to say good things against your heart and flatter. This is not what we scientists are good at.
We should focus more on scientific research, explore the unknown mysteries of the natural universe, and promote the development and progress of civilization, rather than on other messy things."
Lu Yi looked at Rupert, who was already a little hunched, but he felt a little sad in his heart.
A scientist with a potential of more than 97 when he was young should focus entirely on scientific research for the country, nation and even civilization.
But the actual factors and the capital system forced him to focus a lot on saying good things and flattering him.
"The matters in Germany have been handled. Have your family arranged the arrangements? This is the contract agreement for you, which states the annual research funding."
Take out an agreement from your bag and hand it over to Rupert. Lu Yi asked the security staff around him to help take his luggage, and then walked outside the airport and said, "I will take you back to your residence first to make the jet lag. I have something to do in the afternoon, and I will take you to the laboratory tomorrow."
"There is nothing to arrange. 15 years ago, my wife disliked me for staying in the laboratory every day and divorced me. The child was raised by her. I can see it once a month except for the child support."
"If you ask them if they are willing to come to China, I can help with the arrangements." Lu Yi was stunned when he heard this, and then suggested.
"No need, Cecil is already 16 years old and is a grown-up boy. His mother educates him very well. His dream is to become a painter. This dream is very good. At least you don't have to stay in the laboratory like me in the future."
Rupert shook his head and opened the two Chinese and English agreements to check. The above terms have been swept over. When he saw the research funds stated in the explicit submissions behind, he suddenly widened his eyes and shouted: "2 billion US dollars a year?"
"I told you the phone number 2 billion US dollars. Next, the entire controlled nuclear fusion laboratory will be left to you. For this laboratory, $2 billion a year is about the same."
Lu Yi nodded. Animal tests for cancer inhibitor drugs have been completed, and next is the human clinical trial.
This human clinical trial is not much difficult in a country with a population of 1.3 billion and a population of cancer that is as high as millions.
Because cancer is waiting to die in the later stages. Since it is dead at all times, many people will try this drug with a try attitude, not to mention that almost all such drug trials are expensive to patients undergoing drug trials.
When people are about to die, leaving something for their family members so that their future lives can be better. This is the simple idea of many people.
After the cancer suppression drug is completed in the past two months, all new drug trial processes will be officially launched, then money and funding will not be a problem at all.
"But $2 billion a year is too much... $1.8 billion, oh no, $1.5 billion is enough, 2 billion is too much, too much!"
Rupert was startled. Even if he was studying precious baby star-like devices, he had never spent so much money and could not even get a $2 billion research plan.
Because he has no experience, let alone 2 billion US dollars a year, he would laugh if he could have 580 million US dollars a year.
In the past few decades of my research career, I had not lived a tight year. I only sold WEGA imitation device a few months ago, so the funds on the laboratory were much more abundant.
"Now my role is the boss and the investor. How to spend the funds is the business of your lab's general manager."
Lu Yi shook his head and said, "I only have two requirements. The first is that all expenses must be spent on research normally. Every year, multiple professional financial institutions will cross-examine the laboratory's financial expenditure. The second is that you have to spend the 2 billion US dollars every year. If it is not enough, you can apply for it."
"I'll do my best." Rupert felt the trouble of spending money for the first time.
"It's not about trying your best, it's certain. If you can't finish spending, you can live in the laboratory."
Lu Yi corrected the old guy's attitude and said, "When I take you to the laboratory tomorrow, I will give you my next research plan. Some of the projects on it require the assistance of the controllable nuclear fusion laboratory. If you spend $2 billion a year, you must cooperate and give some results."
After discovering Rupert's potential as a scientist, he changed his attention and decided to force him to not let him waste that potential.
Of course, the forced pressure on scientists cannot be like ordinary bosses and employees, but rather a different way, a way that most people in the world will envy and yearn for.
To ensure that $2 billion is spent a year, it must be spent on research normally. In this way, if the results cannot be produced, there is no progress in research, then Lu Yi would probably have to pull out the low system and beat it up because it lied about Rupert's potential for scientists.
