Chapter 424: Becoming Famous in a Moment (3)
"It's not famous, it's just a few newspaper reports, Professor Zhang and Teacher Fu I don't know well, Professor Tang and Professor Wang, you have been on a lot of newspapers, I remember being on TV. Yang Rui seized the time to be humble.
"We are different from you, you look at the position of the newspaper, and the content of the article, you are a social edition, which has caused a sensation and topicality, but we old guys can't compare. Tang Zhong continued to chatter: "Age is a treasure, I was in my 40s when I first appeared in the newspaper of the central media, and I was called Young Junyan at that time. ”
Wang Yonghaha laughed, and also said: "The current environment is much better, at that time, when we wrote an article, we first had to go through a comparison of several levels, where it is like now, good is good, bad is bad." ”
"I was stained with the light of Peking University, if it weren't for the gimmick of Peking University first-year students, I guess other media would not publish it. "Yang Rui continues to be modest, and it is still very difficult to be a quiet scholar, or in other words, to be seen as a scholar as a student.
Tang Zhong laughed and said, "Just take the opportunity to apply for the project, don't waste your reputation." ”
"What kind of fame is this. Yang Rui smiled.
Wang Yong patted Yang Rui and said, "It's right to listen to Old Tang, he knows this best." ”
Tang Zhong didn't care at all, and said calmly: "This is called taking advantage of the situation, didn't you say it just now, first of all, you should report to the school leaders, for example, Professor Cai, the head of our department, is quite optimistic about you, the funding of Richard's real room has been reduced, which is what Professor Cai requested, you can call him when you are free." In addition, while everyone remembers, you can apply for a project with potassium channel research, you have applied for a university-level project before, and now you are applying for a provincial and ministerial level, which is not high. ”
"Then I'll still apply in the name of Professor Tang's real room. Yang Rui also thinks it's good, he doesn't have an official real room under his name, but as a group in the Tang Dynasty's real room, the authority is still very free.
Hanging the name of the Tang Concentration Room, it is also beneficial to the Tang Concentration Selection of the National Concentration Room. On the other hand, if the Tang Dynasty becomes the first batch of national-level real rooms, the status of the following groups will also be improved, and it will be easier for Yang Rui to go out independently to make a separate real room in the future, so it can be said that this is a good thing that complements each other.
Of course, in order to achieve such a good thing, you have to keep making new achievements, and in the group that is also hanging in the Tang Dynasty's room, Yang Rui's achievements are the most prominent, which also makes his status implicitly improved.
Tang concentrated on Yang Rui in detail about the elements of the application, and the other three also introduced a few sentences in passing.
In the 80s, applying for a project was not as laborious as in later generations, and it was necessary to stamp dozens of stamps out, but it was not so easy, and the project was very arbitrary, and the relationship was quite important, and no one brought it in, maybe it was even more difficult.
In fact, because of the small total funding, it is difficult to apply for projects of more than 10,000 yuan, even if someone brings them in.
If it weren't for the newspaper report, a student like Yang Rui would have had to wait for the opportunity to write a JMC paper.
In the next twenty or thirty years, celebrities can pop up on the Internet every day, but that actually has limitations, for example, limited to online audiences, limited to lower age groups, and limited to entertainment itself......
The newspapers of the 80s were different, especially the national newspapers such as Guangming Daily, which were authoritative in themselves, and if they were placed in the army, they would directly award meritorious service awards, in other words, the newspapers of the 80s carried their own political attributes.
And living in this era, it is impossible to break away from politics, even if a researcher has gained prestige and political influence, it is also a lot of benefits, high-prestige players get more funds, it is easier to win awards, so it is easier to compete for projects, large projects have more funds, easier to win, and they can snowball soon.
A few people were talking, and the meal was slow, and the students next to them didn't speak, but they quickly ate the buffet.
The students all stared at the side, hoping that they would finish their chats soon, and that they would be able to move around and consume their food.
However, after Tang Zhong and the others finished applying for the project, they still talked very much.
Teacher Fu even opened a new topic: "Yang Rui, why didn't your paper be published in a journal with such a good paper?" ”
There are pros and cons to presenting excellent papers at international conferences. The advantage is that he became famous all over the world, and the PCR paper of that year was also published at the top conference held in the cold spring room.
However, the papers presented at international conferences are mixed, and they do not sound as good as they do when they are published in such and such a journal.
Yang Rui couldn't say that my future papers would only be better, so he said: "I think the opportunity is rare, and it just so happens that the paper of the potassium channel has made a result." In addition, the part of the molecular mechanism, I sent it, and it should be able to be published. ”
"Which journal did you send it to?" asked Tang Zhong with concern.
Yang Rui suddenly became a little shy, and said: "If you can publish it, let's talk about it, if you can't publish it, it will make people laugh." ”
"Isn't that for JMC?"
"I'd like to try something else. "If it's a full set of papers on potassium channels, it's relatively easy to publish, and now it's just part of the molecular analysis, so it's a bit probatable. Of course, journals like CNS have probability, that is, the difference in probability, after all, it is a journal for all natural sciences, and the competition is not only biology.
Teacher Fu praised: "He is worthy of being a young man, with momentum and courage. ”
"You have to be able to publish it to be aggressive, otherwise you will be arrogant. Yang Rui continued to be modest, and the seniors behind him were jealous, who doesn't want to be modest......
Tang Zhong and the others felt that it was normal, and they didn't force them to ask, and quickly continued the topic.
After eating a meal in the afternoon, Mr. Fu began to prepare for the report meeting, and everyone walked out of the restaurant with their bellies touched.
Yang Rui took the paper he was going to give a speech and sat in the small lecture hall to read it, which was considered to increase his popularity.
Looking at the state, one person sat next to him with a "bang".
"Hey, Director Hai?" Yang Rui squinted his eyes and recognized Director Hai of the foreign trade of the Chinese medicine.
"Yang Rui, long time no see. "Chief Hai looked like a spy joint, wearing a cap and his head bowed.
"Didn't you just see it last year?" Yang Rui laughed for a moment and said, "I haven't thanked the invitation of the foreign trade of the Chinese medicine, thank you Director Hai for giving me such an opportunity." ”
"You also gave the opportunity for foreign trade of Chinese medicine, your table yesterday was really eye-catching, and Guangming Daily reported it. This invitation is given to you and is as it should be. ”
"Thank you very much. Do you also read Guangming Daily?"
"Look at what you said, don't we sit in the office every day just drink tea and read the newspaper, how can Guangming Daily not read it. Chief Maritime joked.
"Hey, just hosting an international conference is tiring enough, where do you have time to drink tea and read the newspaper. ”
"Busy is busy, biomedical news, we still have to learn. Director Hai coughed and said, "The cooperation between Yang Rui and Jielikang has stunned us, and the production rate of the WestJet factory has more than doubled, do you know?"
"I heard. Yang Rui also guessed that this was the main reason for the invitation letter given to him by the foreign trade of traditional Chinese medicine.
"It's amazing. Director Hai said and sighed, and said, "We originally planned that after this meeting, we would cooperate with Yang Rui and open two ......coenzyme Q10 factories."
"I'm short on time, I'm afraid I don't have time. Yang Rui hurriedly interrupted him, cooperating with Jielikang, the two sides are on an equal footing, even if Huarui is weaker, it will not lose much, and it is difficult to talk about foreign trade cooperation with traditional Chinese medicine.
Director Hai snorted and said, "I know, I know, after reading the new issue of Guangming Daily, we have a new idea here." ”
"Oh?"
"Would you like to put your name in the real yàn room of our foreign trade of Chinese medicine?"
"Name?"
"We have a real room in Beijing, and there is also one in Guangzhou, you can choose a place at random, hang a name, and you will have real funds to get, if you are willing to use our real room, we will arrange it for you, if you don't want to use it, it will not affect your usual research. Of course, you have to do one or two projects and write one or two papers every once in a while in the name of the real yàn room of foreign trade of traditional Chinese medicine. If the project and thesis generate economic benefits, we will give you a bonus, and it does not matter if they do not generate economic benefits. "Director Maritime put forward a very lenient condition.
Not every time the real yàn will produce economic benefits, the basic real yàn ninety percent is a pure loss, and the application-oriented real yàn does not make much money. In other words, the foreign trade of traditional Chinese medicine is a default permission for Yang Rui to use his own money to make a solid foundation that does not make money, and purely use money to buy fame.
This pattern is actually very common in later generations. For example, in various colleges and universities across the country, there are academician rooms everywhere, and the real rooms of Changjiang scholars, in fact, academicians and Changjiang scholars are so busy, one by one, they wear many hats, where do they have time to manage the real yàn rooms of ordinary colleges and universities thousands of miles away, it is nothing more than a name.
If Yang Rui only studied coenzyme Q10, he naturally did not have the qualifications to be named, but now after the gilding of an international conference and media reports, he is soaring, surrounded by a halo of fame, and the foreign trade of traditional Chinese medicine has also changed from the mentality of killing pigs and eating meat to the thinking of raising chickens and laying eggs.
After all, the number of scholars who can make first-class papers is still scarce, and all of them are concentrated in top universities such as Tsinghua University and Peking University, as well as top research institutions such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
has a level, can make money, and is famous, such a Yang Rui is naturally not easy to persecute, on the contrary, there is also the value of wooing.
Director Hai himself doesn't know much about scientific research, but he understands the industry and directly gives Yang Rui expert-level treatment.
Yang Rui had no experience and said, "I have already registered my name in Professor Tang's real room. ”
"It doesn't matter if you hang our name or Professor Tang's name, and it doesn't affect each other, when you want to write about our foreign trade of traditional Chinese medicine, you will write your work unit as foreign trade of traditional Chinese medicine, and if you want to write Professor Tang's real yàn room, you will write Professor Tang's real yàn room. However, if you apply for the project through the real yàn room of the foreign trade of Chinese medicine, you must write the name of our foreign trade of traditional Chinese medicine. Director Hai paused, stretched out his hand and said, "I promise that at least 100,000 yuan of research funds will be spent every year." ”
The research fund of 100,000 yuan a year is also a proper treatment for professors in ordinary key universities.
This money may not be able to catch up with Yang Rui's own income, but it has given Yang Rui the ability to catch up with experts.
The difference between using other people's money to make one's own real food and using one's own money to make one's own real food is as huge as the difference between someone else's invitation to a big meal and spending money to eat a big meal.
"Research funds, I can use them casually?" Yang Rui was also attracted by Lei Feng's conditions.
"Whatever you want, you will be reimbursed when you see the order. Director Hai affirmed his own Lei Feng's behavior, the management of research funds in the 80s was lax, and if you want to apply for it, you can directly give money, and when the time comes, you can offset it with invoices, and no one cares about the invoices for meals and gasoline.
"Just a name?"
"It's just a name. ”
"I have to tell Professor Tang. ”
"He'll definitely persuade you to agree. "Director Hai is not worried at all, what he gives is equivalent to a professional contract for the scientific research community, which has many benefits for researchers.
