Back To The Age Of The '80s

"Um, well, I'll let Emma print out the meeting minutes and send them to you." Berg said helplessly.

The expression on Ruiz's face brightened instantly, "Leave it to the boys in my lab." He paused, then continued: "And Li's share, I think he will stay in my lab a period of time."

"Understood." Berger replied weakly.

Walking out of the door of the lecture hall quickly, Ruiz dragged him so fast that Li Zheng hardly had time to express his feelings.

He just left?Li Zheng still couldn't help but look back at the wide open red door, he didn't expect that he could leave so gracefully.

"What are you looking at? Li, is there anything special?" Ruiz noticed Li Zheng's movements, stopped and asked in puzzlement.

He followed Li Zheng's gaze, there was nothing special, the lecture hall was still the same as usual.

Li Zheng was taken aback, and recovered from his complicated thoughts, "It's nothing, just a little emotional. After all, it is Cold Spring Harbor." Li Zheng shrugged, not hiding his admiration for Cold Spring Harbor.

This time, Ruiz was stunned for a moment. He usually comes into contact with people of the same generation as himself and Watson. Even if Watson is the best among them, well, he has to admit that .But it's just an admission in my heart, I want them to show this respect, don't dream.

Ruiz seldom dealt with junior biologists, or even if he did, he seldom paid attention to their ideas. Seeing Li Zheng like this made him feel strange.

"Isn't it Cold Spring Harbor, Watson's laboratory, you can come whenever you want, and he can drive you away." Ruiz said sourly.

The junior he admired actually admired his competitor, and he was sad for a second in his heart.

Li Zheng didn't hear the weirdness in Ruiz's tone, but felt that Ruiz's natural tone was like a powerful bell ringing in his ears, and the melancholy and regret in his heart were swept away and replaced by an unprecedented ease.

He has been confining himself to the pattern of his previous life, only to realize when he looked back that he is now at a higher position than in his previous life.

"You're right, there will be more opportunities in the future." Li Zheng's mouth curled up in a beautiful arc, and he strode forward.

Ruiz shrugged suspiciously, and quickly followed. This young Huaguo scholar looks really good-looking, like a star.It's just that his personality is a little weird. How do you say in Huaguo dialect, it's windy and rainy?

Ruiz's research office is in the small town of Flushing. In 1987, the New York City area had not yet been merged, and Queens was still called Queens County, and Flushing was a small town in Queens County.

Flushing is a gathering place for Asian Americans. In Li Zheng’s last life, Flushing’s Chinatown had surpassed Manhattan in size and became the largest gathering place for Chinese in New York. Even now in 1987, Flushing’s residents accounted for more than 50.00% of the five All are Asian.

Of course, the Asians here are not only Chinese, but also Koreans, Indians, Pakistanis and so on.

As soon as he entered the town of Flushing, one or two familiar pronunciations could be heard from time to time, and Li Zheng's facial expression softened a lot.

"Li, I knew you would like Flushing." Professor Ruiz seemed a little proud.

Professor Ruiz's laboratory is a completely private laboratory, so at the beginning of the laboratory, his funds were very tight, so he chose Flushing, which has relatively cheap land and convenient transportation.

Sure enough, due to the existence of Metro Line [-], the Long Island Railway and multiple bus routes, the small town of Flushing has gradually become the economic center of Queens County. Residents living in Long Island, Westchester and New Jersey, especially the Chinese, like it very much. Going to Flushing for shopping and consumption has also led to a surge in Flushing land prices.

Building the laboratory in Flushing is one of the most proud things in Professor Ruiz's life.

"Yes, it's very friendly here." Li Zheng smiled.

Li Zheng was led by Ruiz to a building on the west side of the town. The building was about seven or eight floors behind, with a thick glass curtain wall outside, which was particularly conspicuous in the town.

"My laboratory is on the top floor." Ruiz led Li Zheng to go inside.

The men and women in the building offered to say hello to Ruiz, who nodded slightly, not very warmly.

"Ding" the eighth floor is here.

Stepping out of the elevator, Li Zheng was a little surprised. This was the most modern laboratory he had ever seen in his life.

There is a long corridor. On both sides of the corridor are small laboratories separated by glass. Of course, Li Zheng knows that these glasses are one-way viewing glass. The inside can see the outside, but the outside cannot see the inside.

"I have [-] project teams under me, and they all have their own laboratories. Because of dointinib, the American Society for Anti-Tumor gave my laboratory the title of International Anti-Tumor Center, so the funding is still very sufficient. Ruiz said while observing Li Zheng's reaction.

Well, he admitted that he was just jealous that Watson was admired by Li Zheng.

"It's amazing, Professor Ruiz." Li Zheng sighed.

Ruiz stared closely at Li Zheng's eyes. He could see that Li Zheng's praise was sincere, but it was only admiration. vinegar.

"professor."

"professor."

Ruiz put his palm on the raised arc next to the glass door, and the door slowly opened. Everyone in the laboratory raised their heads and greeted Ruiz one after another. At the same time, their curious eyes fell on Li Zheng.

"Professor, is this our new colleague?" An older researcher took off his mask and asked with a smile.

The experimenters in the laboratory also looked at Li Zheng. They were Chinese or Japanese, but they didn't have any Asian colleagues. They seemed a little younger and very good-looking.

The maternal instincts of several female researchers began to stir.

"Charlie, Jenny, Edward, stay here, everyone else is on vacation now! I will notify you of the deadline for the vacation." Ruiz said in a deep voice.

Everyone in the laboratory looked at each other, and then there was a loud cheer. The researchers quickly took off their coats and walked towards the door of the laboratory while taking off their clothes, for fear that Ruiz would change his mind.

When several people passed by Li Zheng, they greeted Li Zheng with smiles and said:

Li Zheng didn't explain, just nodded with a smile.

After everyone left and the glass door was closed again, Ruiz looked at Li Zheng, "Li, I think this project will last for a while, don't you need two assistants?"

"I remember that you have your own laboratory in Xiangjiang, and the university where you teach in Huaguo also has a laboratory. Which laboratory is the name of the cooperation with?"

Hearing this, Li Zheng raised his right hand unconsciously and stroked his chin.Which laboratory to use for cooperation?If it is a general experimental project cooperation, Li Zheng will definitely choose Li Zheng's laboratory without thinking about it. After all, Li Zheng's laboratory is completely his private laboratory, and the ownership is clear.

But this experiment is closely related to the Human Genome Project.Huaguo, which accounts for one-fifth of the earth's population, was excluded from the Human Genome Project. This was the most regrettable and even shameful thing for Huaguo biologists in the 80s. Should he make up for this regret?

Although when he joined Huaqing, he and Zhao Depei signed a supplementary agreement to clarify the ownership of the patent rights, but an anticancer drug, a brand new, milestone anticancer drug, Huaguo biological circles and Huajing Can you really resist this temptation?

"In my own name." After a long silence, Li Zheng said.Since it's not good to choose either side, then don't choose anyone.It is better to hang the patent right in his own name. As for the genome project, the Ninth Laboratory must participate.

Ruiz looked at Li Zheng in surprise.

Li Zheng smiled and continued: "However, I'm afraid I need Professor Ruiz to recommend two assistants."

Although Ruiz didn't know why Li Zheng made such a decision, he still nodded, "Of course, that's not a problem." This was almost a free gift to him, some people were willing to participate in this project, and he even felt that those in the lecture hall Colleagues, if they hadn't been reluctant to lose face, they would have asked themselves to be Li Zheng's assistant long ago.

"What about the distribution of project results?" Li Zheng narrowed his eyes with a smile, seniors belong to seniors, some things should be clear.

Ruiz looked at Li Zheng with more appreciation in his eyes. His academic level is high, and his means are not weak. When he was young, he was not so powerful.

Even the old boy Watson, he remembered that when he was young, he was very face-saving, and it was difficult for him to speak out for his interests in front of the seniors, and he suffered a lot because of it.

"Are you so confident when it comes to the distribution of patent rights?" Ruiz raised his eyebrows and said.

Li Zheng chuckled, "Professor, it should be said that we are all confident, otherwise we wouldn't be standing here, would we?"

Ruiz took a deep look at the young man in front of him, thought for a moment and said: "Actually, you have completed 40.00% of this experiment, and we will complete the next 60.00% together, and distribute it according to the actual contribution rate." Patent rights, as for academic achievements..."

He paused, "If my laboratory completes 30.00% or more of the project, we will be the same author, and my name will be behind you. As for the corresponding author, you come." Ruiz gritted his teeth and said.

He has not published an academic paper whose corresponding author is not himself for more than ten years.But for this experiment, the idea is his own, and he has completed 40.00% independently. No matter how thick-skinned he is, he is too embarrassed to snatch the corresponding author of the younger generation. Of course, he may not be able to snatch it.
