"That's not what we said in our original agreement." The tip of Richard's nose was about to hit Principal Pang's face.

Principal Pang said very annoyedly: "I have explained to you, the school's policy has changed, it's not that I want to go back, I can't help it, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I have no other choice."

"You can choose if you want to abide by the agreement." Richard snorted and said, "We have a contract, we have a message that your grant should last for more than a year, and during this time, you can't quit if you want to."

"The school's funding has stopped, and it's useless for you to force me." Principal Pang said very unhappily.

"The school is the subject of the contract, and if you break the contract, I will sue." Richard had no choice but to raise the last stick of the lawsuit.

As Richard expected, Principal Pang really hesitated, but after about two minutes of thinking, Principal Pang shook his head slowly and said: "This is not my decision, I can only express regret, although I don't want such a dispute, but just like you Europeans and Americans say, don't punish the person who sent the letter, I am just a messenger."

Richard didn't believe it: "You are the principal of the school, you have a lot of power, how can you not decide."

"Vice Chancellor, I'm Vice Chancellor." Principal Pang emphasized in English that this is a rare title he has described himself.

Threatening lawsuits didn't solve the problem, and Richard was out of options.

He doesn't actually want to litigate, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and although a lawyer can do most of the work, he still needs the participation of the litigant, and in addition, the lawyer's fee is also very high.

Although Richard is a well-known professor at the University of California, because he teaches in public schools, his salary is only tens of thousands of dollars, which is naturally richer than the Chinese in the 80s, but in American society, he is only a good middle class.

Of course, if Richard is willing to give up his teaching position and work for a pharmaceutical company or other similar private company, his annual salary can easily reach hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even more than a million dollars, just like Trapp in Zeneca.

But before that, Richard's private income was not high, and there was no soil for academic **.

At this point, Richard didn't even have the nourishment of returnees who had returned to China to work.

However, Richard still has the University of California as a backer behind him, and after sending President Pang away in annoyance, Richard immediately informed the University of California of the matter.

After a few days of talking back and forth between the two schools, Richard received a call from the University of California: "Peking University will sponsor you according to 30% of the agreement, and the University of California will increase the funding equivalent to 20% of the agreement, but the remaining 50% is on your own."

Richard involuntarily began to scratch his hair, less than fifty percent of the funds, but not as simple as the language description, the funds are less than half, the actual yàn can not be less than half, the instruments cannot be less than half, and the reagents bought cannot be less than half......

Less than half of the funds almost means that it can't be sustained for a new real room.

Richard said angrily, "They signed the agreement, you should let them execute the agreement."

"You can hold them legally responsible, but you should understand that the reason why the Chinese side has lowered their spending is that you have not produced anything in the past six months." The head of the University of California also did not want to bear the reputation of incompetence and immediately put the blame on Richard.

Richard was speechless, he wasn't a particularly good talker.

The tone on the other side of the phone was a little better, and he said: "The only support we can give you is to give you funding in advance, so that you can maintain your research for the next period of time, and the remaining gaps, I suggest that you find new investors, or seek support from public funds."

Tell the bad news first, then talk about the good news, and then give a possible solution that can indeed solve the severe heart congestion.

Richard reinvigorated himself and decided to follow the other party's advice.

In the United States, finding the support of investors or public funds has always been the main job of the head of the real office, and some managers of the real office will spend a quarter or even a third of their time and energy on fundraising.

Richard has also tried to seek help from individuals or institutions more than once, and in most cases, the individuals and institutions that have invested in him have lost all their money, and in a few cases, the investors or institutions have received corresponding returns, although it sounds a bit unreliable, but in fact, Richard's record is quite good.

Biotechnology in the 70s and 80s, like the Internet in 2000, has received crazy investment in the United States and even the world, most of the investments are loss-making, and the losses are extremely strict, but the reason why venture capital is venture capital is that they can tolerate risk and focus on the proportion of success.

Even the Chinese side has been affected by the same influence, and the fact that Richard's real room was able to be built so smoothly is also a function of his excellent record.

Up to now, Richard's excellent record has not changed, he did frustrate Yang Rui's scientific research competition, but Peking University's Richard real room has not been revoked, it is not a failed record, not to mention, in the current state, his more failed record will not have much impact.

The only problem is that you have to suffer more blank eyes, more sycophants, and more waste of time.

After careful consideration, and after discussing with old friends in the United States, Richard decided not to return to China first, but to make something and then look for new funds, but this is more risky, if it takes two months to find money, then he can. To make something meaningful within three months, and the relevant research is done now, it takes three months to do it, and the fault tolerance rate is very low.

Richard was resolute.

He found President Pang again and put forward his request, saying: "If you hand over the remaining funds to me at one time, I will give up the lawsuit, and I will find a way to maintain Richard's room, and the results I make will also be signed in accordance with the original agreement."

Principal Pang naturally didn't dare to agree.

Richard added weights, threatening to evacuate directly, and exposed his behavior at the next International Medical Bioengineering Conference, and directly named President Pang.

At this moment, Principal Pang had a painful pain and hesitated.

After a few days of struggle, Richard finally got the money for the next few months, and it was also the last money given to him by Peking University.

Richard used the money to order new equipment and reagents, most of the materials used in biotech are not made by himself, and some small bio companies specialize in providing them, which is also the foundation of small bio companies.

The average university professor can easily make a million-dollar profit a year if he can make one or two competitive biomaterials and use them to start a company.

In the 21st century, this trend has also spread to China, and many professors, researchers, and even graduate students have the research goal of applying for patents and opening small biological companies, as small as accurate pH test strips, bacterial culture media, immune cells, and as large as rats, rabbits and even chimpanzees, which can create great profits.

And in the 80s, there were fewer such bio companies, and the price of the biomaterials sold was more expensive, but no matter how expensive, it was still cheaper and cheaper than making it yourself.

Richard threw himself into it.

It's not easy to make something for investors to see before the funds run out.

Richard has become busier than before, which also means that Xu Anqing and Zhu Jiahao and others are even busier.

If these two scientific research dogs were only squeezed out of the blood before, now they are about to be squeezed out of the bone marrow, not to mention that they still need to participate in the recruitment test from time to time.

After only three days of hard work, Zhu Jiahao couldn't stand it, and Xu Anqing persisted for half a day.

I only sleep four hours a day, and I do high-intensity refinement, and I have to read literature and review exams in my free time, which is okay to think about, but it is too painful to do, and people's bodily functions cannot be infinitely overdrawn.

After falling asleep during the exam the next day, Xu Anqing couldn't hold back anymore and found Richard to ask for a vacation.

Richard was furious: "You are freshmen in the same school, Yang Rui can insist, why can't you insist."

Xu Anqing's muscles jumped when he heard this, and said: "If you talk about working hours, Yang Rui doesn't insist on it without us."

Zhu Jiahao also nodded again and again, and said, "Yang Rui is going back for the New Year, what do you insist on?"

Richard's eyelids jumped: "What do you mean?"

Xu Anqing said angrily: "Yang Rui's working hours are ...... every day"

"It's not you." Richard interrupted Xu Anqing's words and asked Zhu Jiahao: "What do you mean when you say that Yang Rui went back for the New Year?"

"Chinese New Year is like Christmas for you......"

"I know about the Chinese New Year, I'm asking, has he gone back for the New Year?

"I haven't left yet, but I'm preparing, I heard from his fellow villagers that Yang Rui bought train tickets for them." Zhu Jiahao was very envious and asked: "There are only a few days left for the Spring Festival, when will we have a holiday?"

"We don't have a holiday!" Richard's eyes flashed, and he said, "Yang Rui is too naïve, now that he goes back for the New Year, do you expect me to let him go?" Hmm...... He may be setting off smoke bombs to let our guard down and leave him alone, the more moments like this, the more we should try to ......"

"He has announced a holiday, and the people in Hua Rui's room, who want to go home, can go home, and those who are local or not going home will stay, and they will be paid overtime." Zhu Jiahao almost stuck out his tongue to speak.

"We can't dictate our actions because of the moves of our opponents." Suddenly, Richard began to use the opponent to describe the Hua Rui Shi room.

Xu Anqing frowned, and asked Zhu Jiahao in Chinese in a low voice: "How do you know so well the situation in Hua Ruishi's room?"

"I'll just ask." Zhu Jiahao is a little weak-hearted.

Bang Bang Bang!

Richard's clapping interrupted Xu Anqing's inquiry, and he called everyone in the Quanshi yàn room to start the speech before the "victory", the focus of which was to make persistent efforts to defeat Hua Rui.

Zhu Jiahao let out a sad cry and thought: I would not have come to Richard's room if I had known.
