Chapter 284 Return the Diploma to Him
Inside the warehouse of the School of Inspection and Biotechnology.
The School of Laboratory and Biotechnology offers very advanced majors, including biotechnology, medical laboratory science, molecular immunology, antibody engineering, tropical diseases, biotherapy, translational medicine, etc.
In short, the weirder and less popular the name of the major is, the more difficult it will be to find a job in the future, so don't choose an unpopular major when applying to university.
This college actually focuses on two areas: testing and biopharmaceuticals.
The employment scope of laboratory science is very broad. At least after graduation, you can get a job in the hospital's laboratory department.
As for biopharmaceuticals, well, it sounds very technological, but the employment rate is actually just so-so.
But the School of Laboratory and Biotechnology also has its own advantages, and the proportion of beautiful women is much higher than that of the Clinical School.
The admission score for clinical colleges is high, and only top students can get in. Pretty girls are often surrounded by flies in high school, and their grades are not outstanding, so they cannot get into clinical colleges.
Even if a student has outstanding academic performance and is a beautiful girl, when filling out their college application form, they tend to choose majors such as finance and accounting, and rarely choose medicine.
In the familiar campus, Lin Sanqi always thinks of his ex-girlfriend, a rare beauty...
"Xiao Lin, take a look at the treasures in our warehouse. The instruments in our Institute of Testing are much more in quality and quantity than those in the Institute of Bioengineering. Take a look.
Blood cell analyzers, flow cytometers, coagulation analyzers, urine analyzers, stool analyzers, biochemistry analyzers, chemiluminescence immunoassay analyzers, immunoassay analyzers, all of these are included.
And what about the fluorescent immunoassay analyzer, nucleic acid extraction instrument, and PCR instrument you specifically requested? Our college has them all. Look at them all lined up here. What do you think? Do you think your money is really well spent?"
Lin Sanqi thought to himself, Old man Xie, tell me honestly whether these pieces of junk are worth 20 million.
Dean Xie was still proudly introducing these second-hand treasures of his own college:
"Xiao Lin, in addition to various testing instruments, we also have quite a few advanced devices. Look at these gene sequencers, microbial identification and drug sensitivity analyzers, semi-automatic blood culture instruments, and mass spectrometers. These were the first batch of instruments we imported from abroad in 1985. They caused a sensation across the country back then."
Lin Sanqi did some calculations in his mind and thought that he would have to call these machines brothers because they appeared in this world earlier than him.
Although the instrument is good, it was too anachronistic to release genetic testing equipment in 1960. The key point is that no one knew how to use it, so it seemed that these machines were wasted.
School of Pharmacy.
Dean Zhang was very enthusiastic in introducing the talents of the School of Pharmacy to Lin Sanqi.
"Xiao Lin, although you are from the School of Clinical Medicine, medicine and pharmacy are inseparable. You should also know the importance of pharmacy. Without good medicine, how can clinical work be carried out? That's why our School of Pharmacy has the most comprehensive equipment of all the colleges.
Look at these slurry mixing tanks, gas-liquid separators, spiral plate heat exchangers, fermentation tanks, steam filters, air filters, rotor flow meters, tripod centrifuges, acid adjustment tanks, ion exchange columns, etc.
Don't be fooled by the fact that these devices are decades old. Ahem, they are indeed a bit old, but those African brothers put them together and formed a drug laboratory or even a drug production line.
If the other colleges are more theoretical and scientific research-oriented, the School of Pharmacy is more clinical and operational-oriented, so these instruments and equipment are extremely practical.
In the words of Dean Zhang, there is no problem in assembling these machines to produce some medicines, but of course the output will be limited.
The efficiency of manual assembly lines and fully automatic assembly lines is completely incomparable.
But the point is, African uncles, it’s enough!
In the evening, Lin Sanqi left Huadu Medical University, but the temptation of 20 million made the top management of Huadu Medical University unable to calm down.
Principal's office.
Principal Su Lairong looked at the five subordinate deans sitting opposite him, seeming to be lost in thought.
Principal Su is not tall, only about 169cm, with a pair of small triangular eyes under thick glasses. The most striking feature of him is his buck teeth, which makes him look like a stupid groundhog.
If you really think he is a groundhog, you are absolutely wrong. To be able to come directly from the capital to Huadu to serve as the president of Huadu Medical University, one must either have great ability, great perseverance, or have someone powerful to rely on. In any case, it is not an easy task.
Northern cadres attach great importance to ideology. As soon as Principal Su took office this year, he immediately proposed a policy of "strict management of schools, strict management of academics, and strict management of medicine", which came with great momentum.
As for the southerners, what they care about most is economic benefits. They don’t care about this ideology or that policy and are relatively free and easy. Then a northerner came to be the principal.
But are the old deans of the various colleges afraid of President Su? That's impossible.
How could someone who could become a dean be a simple-minded nerd who only cares about scientific research? I'm afraid these five old men combined have more than 800 minds.
But they are not here to play tricks today, but for money, they are asking for it openly.
Principal Su looked at the application form in front of him and asked doubtfully:
"Your five colleges have obsolete equipment that's been around for decades, and this Lin Sanqi is willing to spend 20 million yuan to buy it? That's not right. I just arrived at Huadu Medical University and have explored every corner. I've also seen the junk in your warehouse. Is it worth 20 million?"
Dean Lou coughed lightly and said, "Isn't it that Lin Sanqi cares deeply about his alma mater and is willing to make a small contribution to it?"
"Lin Sanqi..."
This name is very recognizable. Although Principal Su is very busy, he still remembers it.
"Is this student the Lin Sanqi who had a medical accident at his internship last semester?"
Dean Wang snorted lightly:
"How can it be a medical malpractice? At most, it can only be considered a medical accident. Lin Sanqi can only be considered a scapegoat. Even if there is any responsibility to be held accountable, it should be the teacher who supervised the case. Don't you agree?"
The other deans all nodded repeatedly. Today, they were a community of interests.
Principal Su is a smart man. He knows that if these second-hand equipment were sold to Lin Sanqi for 2,000 yuan, there must be something fishy.
But if these second-hand junk were sold to Lin Sanqi for 20 million, we can only describe Lin Sanqi as a person with noble ideas who wants to repay his alma mater, or as a bit stupid.
"Okay, since it's beneficial to our school, I definitely agree. I approve this application."
Principal Su knew that he could not object, and he had no reason to object. If he dared to object, he could only imagine the storm that would follow.
Just as he was about to sign, President Wang made another request:
"Principal Su, this student, Lin Sanqi, is deeply concerned about his alma mater. They claim to have used the 20 million yuan to purchase secondhand equipment, but what's the difference between that and giving it to us for free? For a student like this, I wonder if we can return his graduation certificate and degree, which we've temporarily withheld?"
Principal Su paused his pen. Although he didn't look up, the atmosphere in the principal's office had obviously become colder.
It was he who initially advocated for severe punishment for Lin Sanqi, but a few months later, he wanted to award the graduation certificate to this student, which was somewhat embarrassing.
If it was a small person, he would just get slapped in the face, but for someone at the level of Principal Su, face is more important than anything else, because face represents prestige!
After a long while, Principal Su looked up and found that the five deans were all staring at him.
The eye contact between the two sides could actually be used to make a 45-minute TV series.
Principal Su: You are actually slapping yourself in the face?
The five deans said: We want money, Lin Sanqi wants a diploma, so we have to sacrifice your face!
Principal Su: What if I don’t agree?
Five deans: Then we won’t be polite. Even if you are a dragon from another place, you may not be able to defeat so many local tyrants like us!
Principal Su: I am your leader. Don’t you want to stay in Huadu Medical University anymore?
Five deans: Although we are not academicians, we are also Thousand Talents and Changjiang Scholars, and we can directly hear from the top. You can think about it yourself!
…
…
After a long silence, Principal Su suddenly laughed.
"Okay, okay, as teachers, we must give this student who loves his alma mater this much a chance. So, let Lin Sanqi complete the necessary paperwork, and we'll return his diploma and degree to him."
Dean Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly another idea came to his mind:
"Principal Su really cares about students. He is a role model for our generation. Hehe~~~"
The other four deans also chuckled. At this time, the biggest difficulty had been solved, and they were happy to give face to the principal.
"Principal Su, this is what I think. After graduation, this classmate Lin Sanqi founded a Lingnantang Pharmaceutical Company, which mainly deals in various precious Chinese medicinal materials and valuable collectible pills. It is said that he will open a Chinese medicine clinic and a pharmaceutical factory in the future.
What does this mean? It means that Lin Sanqi has a promising future. For such a future outstanding alumnus and entrepreneur, we should invest in him in advance so that any future benefits will flow to his alma mater and not be taken advantage of by other universities.
Therefore, I want to secure a postgraduate transfer qualification for Lin Sanqi. He certainly doesn't need a postgraduate diploma, but I think this reflects the importance and love our alma mater places on him. I believe he will definitely appreciate this favor from President Su."
Principal Su had a smile on his face, but he was actually shitting in his heart.
"Dean Wang, you've stopped supervising graduate students, so why are you..."
"Special matters are handled specially, haha."
The leaders were all expressionless. Principal Su was also assessing the situation and nodded slightly.
"This is a trivial matter. Since it's a benefit without any cost, and since Dean Wang is willing to accept a disciple, why should I disagree?"
Dean Wang was delighted: "Okay, okay, I will definitely follow Principal Su's advice."
Lin Sanqi's diploma incident was actually a small matter, and even the sale of 20 million second-hand equipment was not a big deal. The reason behind it was actually the struggle for discourse power between Principal Su, an outsider, and the local teachers of Huadu Medical University.
The Lin Sanqi incident was just an occasional incident in which both sides tested each other's bottom line.
For now, it seems that the localists have won.
Three days later.
Dean Wang of the Clinical College personally handed a blue graduation certificate and a green degree certificate to Lin Sanqi, and said with a smile:
"Although it's a few months late, at least it's returned to its rightful owner. On behalf of the First Clinical College, I'd like to congratulate you. It's a shame we can't take graduation photos."
Lin Sanqi was "expelled" just before graduation, so all his ID photos had been taken and even his diploma was ready, but he was just not given it.
Unfortunately, Lin Sanqi did not take part in the class graduation photo. This is undoubtedly a great regret in his life.
As a counselor, Lou Xiaoling was also jumping and shouting excitedly. The first batch of students she taught had finally achieved success.
On the contrary, Lin Sanqi felt a little sad. He gently stroked the two certificates and looked at the familiar campus and familiar classroom. It seemed as if he was walking on the campus with his girlfriend again, imagining the future.
Scene after scene, just like a movie.
It went on until the last scene, where his girlfriend was crying in the carriage and he was crying on the platform. There was only a layer of glass between them, but it felt like a lifetime.
Lin Sanqi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Lou Xiaoling also started crying at this time. She thought that her student had suffered too much injustice and she felt so sorry for him.
Dean Wang and several other deans around him also thought that Lin Sanqi was too excited. After all, a certificate of incomplete studies and a diploma are two completely different concepts.
Yin Lianyi stood quietly in the corner, sincerely happy for Lin Sanqi.
Although her college life was not so pleasant for her, a graduation certificate represents five years of youth after all. Who would be willing to give up that?
Dean Wang walked over and patted Lin Sanqi on the shoulder:
"Let's go. Our second-hand equipment and instruments have been packed up. Mr. Lin, go and inspect them?"
The acquisition of Lin Sanqi was carried out in the name of Lingnantang Pharmaceutical Company in order to increase the company's costs and make some preparations for taxation.
So as the financial manager of Lingnantang Company, Yin Lianyi appeared at Huadu Medical University, but not as a girlfriend, as the two had not yet established a relationship.
Although everyone in Lingnan Hall treated her as the future boss lady, even Lin Musen and Wang Wenjuan had tacitly accepted it.
Lin Sanqi placed his diploma and degree certificate together, took a photo, and posted it on his WeChat Moments. Only then did he regain his composure:
"Teachers, let's go. I'm going to check the goods. Don't worry, I brought my financial manager here today. I promise I won't owe you money."
Hehehe~~~
The atmosphere at the scene became relaxed. It was impossible to say that the five deans were not worried because the money had not arrived. If this once-in-a-century sucker ran away, it would be difficult to find him again.
The west playground of Huadu Medical University is particularly lively today. Lin Sanqi specially hired a professional packaging and transportation company. The workers are fixing all the second-hand equipment with wooden racks or wooden boxes.
A group of students were busy labeling each instrument, and then packing the printed traditional Chinese instruction manuals together with the instruments.
These second-hand instruments and equipment were so old that Lin Sanqi couldn't even name them, and had no idea how to operate them.
But he wanted to get these devices until 1960, so the instructions had to be prepared.
The manuals for some ancient instruments are no longer available. The old professors wrote down the operating steps, uses, etc. in their minds very carefully and meticulously.
It can be seen that the older generation really has a certain affection for these machines.
Yin Lianyi was wearing a gray professional suit today, with a white shirt underneath, which made her chest look plump; she was also wearing a hip skirt underneath, which also made her hips look plump.
To describe it in an idiom, it is "convex in front and curvy in the back", with a hot body...
With her long, beautiful black hair draped over her, and her face resembling that of Liu Yifei, she looked so cool and beautiful standing on the playground, attracting countless hungry wolves in the school.
But the beautiful Yin was obviously not in a good mood. She looked at the playground full of second-hand machines, and her brows were wrinkled into a small chrysanthemum.
"Lin Sanqi, you're kidding! I thought you were planning to open a pharmaceutical factory and bought some amazing equipment from your alma mater, but look at what you've bought! I'm afraid if you power on these machines and they spin a few times, they'll all fall apart."
Dean Wang and the other deans in the building were all embarrassed when they heard this and quietly took a step back.
To be honest, if Lin Sanqi was their son, several deans felt that they would definitely beat this prodigal to death. This is not the way to spend money.
Seeing the somewhat angry Miss Yin, Lin Sanqi quickly coaxed her:
"When have I ever done business at a loss? Don't worry, I'm not keeping these machines for myself. I'm selling them north. Otherwise, where do you think I got all that wild ginseng?"
Yin Lianyi's eyes suddenly lit up: "No wonder, so you bought the ginseng from the north?"
Wild ginseng is not only produced in Northeast my country, but also in the Korean Peninsula and Siberia in Russia. Ginseng is also one of the specialties of North and South Korea.
Lin Sanqi looked around and whispered, "You have to keep this a secret. Right now, only you and I know about this. Even my father and Uncle Shi don't know."
The best way to win over a girl is for you to share the same secret. This sense of trust and excitement can easily make a girl lost.
Sure enough, Yin Lianyi nodded repeatedly:
"Don't worry, I'll never tell anyone, but you're planning to spend so much money, why don't you buy some new equipment? If you send them these old machines, won't they think you're bullying them?"
Lin Sanqi deliberately said mysteriously:
"You don't know, I brought the latest fully automatic machine over, but they couldn't operate it."
"Oh, I see, Lin Sanqi, you're really thoughtful. By the way, with so many second-hand goods, how many ginseng can you get in return?"
"It's hard to say how much ginseng to use. I told them that if they don't have ginseng, natural musk will also work. I'd rather not open a pharmaceutical factory than open a top-notch Chinese medicine factory, using all natural raw materials. Only in this way can the medicine produced be authentic."
Lin Sanqi was mentally prepared. It would be impossible to ship so much equipment back to 1960 and get US dollars or British pounds. Sorry, there was no foreign exchange.
So what about gold?
I'm sorry, but in 1960 it was still the gold standard era. Gold was a hard currency and foreign trade could be settled directly with gold, so it was impossible for the country to give its gold reserves to Lin Sanqi and others.
Then the only possibility is various Chinese medicinal materials.
Some people might wonder why the protagonist always asks for wild ginseng. Where does he get so much wild ginseng? This isn't the Ming Dynasty...
In fact, there is data for this. According to official statistics, the annual output of wild ginseng was 750 kilograms in 1927, but it dropped to 362 kilograms in 1950.
The reason for the decline was not that all the wild ginseng was harvested, but that after the founding of New China, capitalists and landlords were banned, and private Chinese medicine clinics were also closed down.
Without sales channels and terminal markets, ordinary people have no money to buy ginseng, and the production of ginseng naturally decreases, and it decreases year by year.
Ten years have passed. Due to the sharp decline in ginseng harvesting and the closure of large areas of virgin forests in Northeast China for reforestation, the amount of wild ginseng in the country has been growing rapidly.
With the arrival of 1959, people could not even get enough food to eat, and ginseng farmers stopped harvesting ginseng and switched to farming. Ginseng production hit rock bottom.
Historically, the peak of wild ginseng production was during the Decade of Buzzing, when the output of Northeastern wild ginseng reached more than 4,000 kilograms in 1971. Then it shrank sharply again in 1981, with only 124 kilograms harvested throughout the year.
This trend is the same as that of yellow croaker production.
In 1974, the production of yellow croaker reached a peak of 168,100 tons. By 2013, wild yellow croaker had almost become extinct.
Fortunately, Lin Sanqi traveled to 1960 just in time. There were a large number of wild ginseng waiting to be dug in the primeval forests of Northeast China. As long as the relevant departments gave the order to purchase it, two to three thousand kilograms could be easily produced a year.
3,000 kilograms of dried wild ginseng. Even if it is not a hundred-year-old ginseng, if it is 30 years old, 50 years old, or 70 years old, think about how much is it worth?
So at this time, as long as Lin Sanqi proposed to exchange wild ginseng for the equipment, the relevant departments would definitely agree without hesitation, and would dig three feet deep into the ground to find the ginseng.
If you really don't have wild ginseng, you can exchange it for natural musk, natural bezoar, wild dendrobium officinale, Tianshan snow lotus, deer antler, ganoderma lucidum, bird's nest, fish glue, agarwood, etc.
As the packing work was completed and the staff finished counting, the container trucks came in and began to take away the items one by one.
The teachers from the Finance Department of Huadu Medical University were already waiting, and all the teachers were waiting for Lin Sanqi's transfer.
Lin Sanqi didn't waste any time and handed the notebook directly to Yin Lianyi. After Yin Lianyi's operation, 20 million RMB was soon deposited into the school's designated account.
The transaction between the two parties is completed.
The five colleges were given an equal share of 4 million yuan.
Although the amount of money is not much, it is a small treasury and does not need to be subject to financial supervision or audit by superiors. It can be used freely by each dean.
A pile of scrap metal was exchanged for millions, how could the deans not be happy?
Dean Wang patted Lin Sanqi's shoulder heavily and warned:
"Xiao Lin, you have finally become my graduate student. If you have any good things in the future, please remember your alma mater, our First Clinical College."
Lin Sanqi was a little embarrassed. "Professor Wang, I'm usually very busy with work and I travel a lot. I'm worried that I won't be able to attend classes on time in the future. I hope you will bear with me."
