Yang Rui casually found a project, asked Xu Zhengping to preside over it, and cooperated with Professor Kato of the University of Tokyo.
Of course, it is not so casual to say that he is looking for a random one, first of all, he can get the funds, which is the most important thing, the project team without money, it is always procrastinating to open a new project, and applying for a project in China, whether it is the Science and Technology Commission or the Natural Science Foundation, there is no joy in giving money.
It is all too common for ordinary researchers to wait for money just to apply for a project, and then delay for a few months.
Because Yang Rui has money, he can cut first and then apply for funds, so that the advantage of doing a good job is not to delay time, but those who can do this are often laboratories with accumulation, and they can use the funds accumulated before to do so, such as Tang Centralized Laboratory, that is, in the past two years, it has slowly had this kind of accumulation.
Yang Rui's laboratory naturally does not have the accumulation of Tang Centralized Laboratory, but he himself has money, and it is no longer happy to take out a few thousand yuan as a start-up capital or something.
It's easier said than done, and if you change to Academician Cai, it is estimated that you will not use your own money as start-up capital.
Of course, he is not a tyrant like Yang Rui now. It was only after the 80s that senior scientific researchers became rich.
In addition to the problem of money, there are naturally some other problems in the new project, such as the selection of the project, the arrangement of time, equipment and venues, but these problems are not a problem compared to the problem of money.
Xu Zhengping used to collaborate with other professors on projects, but none of them were happy this time.
In fact, Xu Zhengping also took into account the time factor, thinking about proposing cooperation now, and in a few months, Yang Rui's laboratory has eyebrows, and it just happens to cooperate together.
However, Xu Zhengping did not expect that Yang Rui's project would be so vigorous.
"Don't you prepare for the experiment first?" Xu Zhengping was called to the laboratory, watching Yang Rui allocate the time of the instrument, and couldn't help but be a little nervous.
"We've been preparing for a week, the instruments and equipment are ready-made, and the reagents and everything have been bought. Yang Rui simply overwhelmed Xu Zhengping.
"I was preparing for it a week ago...... You started preparing for the Catalpa paper before it was published?"
"Pretty much. ”
Xu Zhengping laughed inexplicably.
This time it was Yang Rui's turn to be strange: "What are you laughing at?"
"I remember that when I was younger, I always felt that everything was smooth sailing, and everything could be done according to plan, and I was doing experiment after experiment at that time. Xu Zhengping was full of emotion.
Yang Rui raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is the result?"
As a result, as soon as there was a problem, the plan was cut off, and the rest of the plan could not be carried out. Comrade Xu Zhengping was obviously admonishing Yang Rui, for people at this time, this is a normal conversation for ordinary people to express intimacy.
Yang Rui pursed his lips and said, "If the previous plan was successful, wouldn't there be a paper published? ”
"I don't have your good luck, besides, the papers at that time were published in Chinese journals, every year or two, if no one mentions it, it will be the same as gray hair." ”
Yang Rui laughed twice, the so-called no one mentioned it, naturally there were too few citations, or in other words, the short and fast paper did not have an immediate effect.
Yang Rui said: "As the saying goes, don't do porcelain work without diamonds, I'm still quite confident." ”
Xu Zhengping was stunned for a moment, and coughed vigorously twice, the current Yang Rui is different from the former Xu Zhengping. Of course, Xu Zhengping in the past can brush short and fast, but if the brush collapses, you have to admit it, Yang Rui's foundation is different, and it doesn't matter if the brush collapses.
"Okay, anyway, I've prepared it in advance, so let's do it first. Xu Zhengping had nothing to say.
"Then the experimental plan will be handed over to you?" Yang Rui only planned the project composition and marked the project requirements, but he did not stipulate how to do it.
Anyway, it's a short and fast project, if Xu Zhengping is willing to do it, he can also design it clearly.
Moreover, Xu Zhengping will definitely not be willing to do the work of experimental dogs like Sun Ruyue and other students.
"No problem, just leave the experiment to me. Xu Zhengping smiled and took over the cooperative work.
Yang Rui nodded, and said, "The experiment must be in the name of the Tang Concentration Laboratory, and I will be the corresponding author, no problem." ”
"Your project, your corresponding author. Xu Zhengping's expression didn't change much.
It is the uncle who gives the money, and the same is true in the field of scientific research. The company has provided scientific research funds, and the patents researched by the company must be given to the company, and the scientific research funds, research processes and results provided by the government have to be controlled by the state, and Yang Rui, as the person in charge of the project team, no matter what Xu Zhengping's rank, it is natural to take away the corresponding author.
From Xu Zhengping's point of view, the first author is also as good as the first author, at least, saving the trouble of funding and applying for projects.
Yang Rui can start a project, on the one hand, he is valued, and the most important thing is that he has money.
Xu Zhengping didn't have such conditions, and even his own experimental group couldn't hold on, so he could only work around.
In a sense, Xu Zhengping should be regarded as a scientific research mercenary.
In addition to the lack of sufficient accumulation, Xu Zhengping's professional ability is beyond doubt.
In less than a week, a paper on "Cell Ultrastructure and Function" was successfully published.
Xu Zhengping was not arrogant or impatient and let Yang Rui review the paper, signed his name, put it in an envelope bag, and said modestly: "The preliminary preparation is good, and my side is also quite smooth, where do you plan to send this paper?"
When a paper has a corresponding author, the corresponding author is the boss, and it is natural that the publication of the paper and the contact between the journal and the author are also in the hands of the corresponding author.
Yang Rui did not consult Xu Zhengping as usual, but said directly: "Is it okay to "Progress in Biochemistry and Biophysics"?"
This is the journal where Sun Ruyue got the second author, a typical journal of technical application.
As far as forced grid is concerned, "Progress in Biochemistry and Biophysics" is naturally not high, but it can't stand the impact factor of others.
Xu Zhengping said with satisfaction: "It is naturally good that a week's work can be published in "Advances in Biochemistry and Biophysics". ”
Well, of course, this is also a perennial impact factor of 3. More than 5 journals are better than many associate professors in local colleges and universities, and Xu Zhengping only stayed up for two nights.
"That's Advances in Biochemistry and Biophysics. Yang Rui filled in the address on the parcel and said, "Do you want to rest for two days, or move on to the next project?"
"And?"
"When you do this project, the next project will be prepared, one after another, remember?" Yang Rui chuckled.
"Do you really have this diamond?"
"That's right. ”
"Have you applied for project funding?" Xu Zhengping frowned.
"Let's start with my project funds. Yang Rui didn't care.
"If you can't apply for these two projects, you won't be able to fill in the funds. ”
"It's fine. Yang Rui's rare generosity said: "I have prepared two projects here, one is to cooperate with Professor Kato of the University of Tokyo, and the other is to do it yourself, which one do you do?"
"Professor Kato's project at Tokyo University, you don't do it yourself?"
"I'm still the corresponding author, and if you join, we'll be tied for the first author. Since Yang Rui is involved in the actual work, he also needs more signatures.
Xu Zhengping said almost without much thought: "I do collaborative projects. ”
Sino-foreign cooperation or something, most of the time there are additional benefits.
