At the end of the meeting, the professors dispersed in groups of two. The chairman cleaned up a little. Jing Chengshi smiled and said, "Old Cheng, was that student just now? Why did you accept a student from the biology department? You are going to cross the border?"

"Where, I haven't figured out organic chemistry thoroughly. This is a student of Tang Ji. I happened to see his paper, but I still have to thank him." Cheng Shi walked side by side with the chairman with a briefcase.

The chairman laughed in silence and pointed at Cheng Shi and shook his head: "Old Cheng, Lao Cheng, you love talents, I have given you 2,000 yuan in funds."

"I read his paper and wanted to do a sodium-potassium channel experiment. If the instrument is enough, 2,000 yuan is barely enough. Tang Ji will make up for it. Such a young freshman doesn't know whether Tang Ji is willing to pay. He is applying for a national key laboratory, and he thinks he is short of funds..." Cheng Shi estimated the funds according to the experimental methods of current researchers, and according to the current experimental methods, the best result of saving money is just a waste of time. If it is not done well, it will be useless. It is very intensive to the experimental personnel's methods.

The chairman pointed at him helplessly and said, "You long-winded Lao Cheng, Tang Ji's student, are not in a hurry. Why are you anxious? You said that Tang Ji's application for a national key laboratory? What should you do if you Lao Cheng?"

"The same is true for applying in two years. You can't apply just by rushing to apply. Our school probably won't be able to get a few of them this year. Besides, there are Chairman Kang, you guys in front of you."

Chairman Kang said: "Our laboratory has been taken, which may not necessarily meet other people's guidance."

“Guidelines?”

"You didn't read it? In that document, it requires that the laboratory have this and that, all of which are hard frames. I don't need some things at all, so I have to buy them according to his requirements. Is it interesting to have the expenses in such places?"

Cheng Shi smiled: "It's not easy."

"That's right? Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. I'll go back to the laboratory to take a look. You should be more serious. Don't just stare at other students. Do your own laboratory well. If you can apply for a national laboratory next year, it will be convenient, right?"

Cheng Shi laughed: "You don't actively participate, you still ask me to participate..."

Chairman Kang also smiled: "Forget it, whoever likes to take it, the old Tangren is not bad, and his level is enough."

"Look." Cheng Shi was not optimistic about it and went out.

...

With the launch of national key laboratories, more stories about funding and scientific research have begun to penetrate university campuses.

For the Chinese at the beginning of reform and opening up, the scientific research funding gives people a wonderful feeling.

First, the amount of funds is much greater than the income of ordinary people, and secondly, the expenditure and management of funds are not transparent.

In fact, academic research has also begun since the date of the emergence of scientific research funds.

Of course, today's researchers dare not take half of the funds home like later experts and professors, but in terms of current salary, even 1% of the funds are very large.

For example, even if Yang Rui gets 1% of the 2,000 yuan of funds, that is, 20 yuan, it is higher than the monthly consumption of ordinary students.

When this number appeared in Tangji Laboratory, it immediately aroused all kinds of envy and jealousy among the students.

"I have never seen a project that a student applies for, and I have to pay 2,000 yuan." This time, Zhao Pingchuan, who has always been calm, was no longer calm.

Wang Ying was jealous of Hong Guoguo, staring at the 20 great unification in Yang Rui's hands, which was also the 10% fund he received in the first phase. He said unfairly: "I have applied for three times, and I only approved it once, and I gave 120 yuan in funding. Is the 2,000 yuan more funding than the assistant coach Huang?"

"Shh..." He Quan put his hands on his lips and said, "Don't let Assistant Huang hear it. His application was rejected this time."

"I've also been rejected?" Wang Ying felt a little happy now.

He Quangui smiled and put it away, "This time he was cruel. He applied for 2,500 yuan, but he was cut off directly, and he didn't give a penny."

Wang Ying smiled indifferently: "There are 250 for 10 people, just his little things, and he still applies for 2500, and the same as one for 250."

"The experiments performed by Assistant Professor Huang are not good?" Sun Ruyue asked in a low voice.

"It's one thing whether the experiment is good or not, and it's another thing whether the thesis is good or not." Wang Ying said with emotion.

"He might want to apply for more, and then approve less, probably because he has applied too much." He Quangui remembered and asked, "Yang Rui, how many have you applied?"

“Twelve two hundred and five.”

The few people were stunned, and He Quangui raised his thumbs up: "Awesome!"

Wang Ying couldn't help but shout to treat her, as if she couldn't calm down her injustice.

"You can treat you, dinner, and you will leave at 6 o'clock." Yang Rui said as he handed over the 200 yuan advance fund to Sun Ruyue, saying: "You come and make a account, and all the expenses of this money must be listed."

"What is the list of meals? Office expenses?" Sun Ruyue was so excited that she almost stuck out her tongue.

Yang Rui curled his lips: "I pay for the meal by myself. What's more than 200 yuan?"

"Blow up." He Quangui became familiar with him and said bluntly: "Eating fried liver for 200 yuan can make us die of death."

"Why are you still fried livers after treating me?" Wang Yaowu thought for a while and said, "At least it must be cooked."

"Bur...Burn, how big is the difference between cooking and stir-fried liver?"

"Why don't you mutton hot?" Sun Ruyue said and was drooling.

"Dong Laishun? Good Dong Laishun." Yang Rui was deeply encouraged and nodded, "I heard that Beijingers are going to Dong Laishun when they treat guests, so we will also go to Dong Laishun."

He Quangui was a little embarrassed and said, "How can everyone treat you to Donglaishun? That's so expensive. A plate of meat costs two yuan. Our buddy opened her belly and ate it. One person can eat four plates without burping."

Yang Rui counted the heads and said, "A total of 6 people, 24 plates of meat, 50 yuan is enough to go home."

After saying that, he waved his hand again and said, "It's settled. Let's set off at 6 o'clock. In addition, Sun Ruyue, you can get along with me in the future and give you an extra plate of meat later."

"Okay!" Sun Ruyue called out happily, which made everyone laugh.

In the evening, six people spent 30 plates of meat in Donglaishun without hesitation, with an average of five plates per person.

The meat plates are actually much larger than those in later generations, but the person's belly has also become bigger.

According to Beijing's price standards, the prices of any hotel that Chinese people can enter can always be affordable by ordinary people.

Of course, it cannot be judged by the price standards of later generations.

After all, this is still an era of eating when one meal takes a month’s salary.

The next day.

Tang Ji also learned that Yang Rui had received 2,000 yuan in funding, and could not hide his surprise.

In fact, it is considered too much to apply for undergraduates in 2000 to two or three thousand yuan.

The 2,000 yuan in 1984 can almost be equipped with a chemistry laboratory in a middle school. It is the salary of an ordinary person for three years. Even if the current scientific research cost is not reduced proportionally, 2,000 yuan is enough to use it.

Tang Ji said twice and praised: "That's good, so you can do more experiments. Try not to buy instruments, use our laboratory, or go to another laboratory to borrow the instrument. The instruments are too expensive, and two thousand yuan is not enough."

"clear."

"Try not to buy consumables yourself. You can see which laboratory you want to buy similar consumables. Buy them together, which is convenient and cheap."

"clear."

"Do you allow Jielikan's laboratory to use at will? Some experiments are more cost-effective to merge." Tang taught various ways to save money, which is also the most important issue for domestic researchers to study.

Yang Rui nodded and said by the way: "The two laboratories are strictly separated, especially the experiments of Jielikan. According to the contract, they cannot be used in the school."

He finally founded a private laboratory, so he naturally wanted to do experiments in his own laboratory. In contrast, he was unwilling to gain the attention of the university laboratory to avoid being unclear.

However, Tang Ji blinked generously out of kindness and said, "You took it to the school laboratory to do it, and no one cares about it if you don't tell me."

"That won't work. The contract is a contract. I will definitely not take the experiment outside back to the university laboratory. Moreover, there is no need to pay for the money and people in the laboratory, so there is no need to waste university money." Yang Rui said righteously.

Tang clashed with a soft nail, and did not bother him, and smiled and went to do his own thing.

Yang Rui returned to the test bench and directed Sun Ruyue to continue the experiment. He was planning to get two more results before the holiday, so that in the next semester, it would be easier to apply for a new project.
