"President Gu, Teacher Fan, I'm still a master's student. It would be presumptuous of me to try anything against you two. Actually, I came here to poach some experts from the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. We at Lingnan Hall have our eyes on them and want to recruit them."
But poaching people is more likely to offend them, so I hope to find a win-win solution. First, I can invite veteran Chinese medicine practitioners from Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine to come to Lingnan Hall for consultations. Second, I can also seek some benefits for Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. If there is profit, we can share the cake together. "
Dean Gu smiled as he listened:
"Okay, Mr. Lin, I'm very happy that you can tell us the truth. Let's talk openly.
Your request is to poach people, which I think is understandable. Moreover, the people you want to poach are old experts who have retired and are re-employed. They have no staffing or contractual restrictions. If they really want to go with your Lingnan Hall, we have no way to stop them.
Moreover, these old professors have dedicated their entire lives to our hospital and our university, and have lived in poverty all their lives. It would be a good thing if they could earn more pension in their later years. As the dean, I must also consider the interests of the employees.
So, in principle, if you're willing to work in Huadu, our hospital won't stop you. Of course, if the senior professors don't want to go, we can't help them. I hope Director Lin can understand."
Lin Sanqi was overjoyed when he heard this, and sat up straighter.
"Of course, we invited the senior professors. You see, the chairman came here in person, which shows how much importance we attach to Lingnan Hall. Otherwise, I would have directly sent a headhunting company."
Dean Gu is smart. He uses courtesy first and then force. He first satisfies the requirements of your Lingnan Hall, plays the emotional card, and then raises the butcher knife high and slaughters you mercilessly.
If you, as the chairman of the board, are a person who only cares about appearances, you would feel embarrassed to refuse the request from the hospital behind you.
"Okay, Mr. Lin, we've demonstrated our hospital's sincerity. Now it depends on the sincerity of your Lingnan Hall. After all, your cooperation with Huadu Medical University is worth $500 million. So, cooperating with our Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, hehe..."
Lin Sanqi thought, this is not a joke, money is a matter of principle.
Lin Sanqi took out a list from his backpack, which listed a total of 50 research topics in hepatitis B and tumors.
Each topic is accompanied by a secret recipe or ancient medical book obtained from 1961. This is Lin Sanqi's assigned composition.
"President Gu, Professor Fan, these are the 50 research groups I'm collaborating with Huadu Medical University. Huadu Medical University has taken over 30 of these projects, established 30 project teams, and has already begun research work.
There are 20 research groups left. Do you think you can handle them?
In addition, what I gave to Huadu Medical University was not the legendary 500 million yuan, but an initial $200 million. Whether the subsequent $300 million can be received depends on the progress of the research team's projects.
I promised them that they would produce preliminary results in one year and a patented special-effect medicine in two years. If there is no result in two years, I will not provide additional funding. After all, the money of our Lingnan Hall did not come from the wind.
If your Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine is willing to take on these projects, I can guarantee that your scientific research funding will be the same as that of Huadu Medical University, and there will be absolutely no favoritism or discrimination.
But there is one requirement here, which is that all research groups must go to Huadu, and Lingnan Hall will provide food and accommodation. Dean Gu, Teacher Fan, do you think these requirements of mine can be met?"
Dean Gu and Vice Dean Fan took the materials and carefully examined the topics.
Both of them are trained in traditional Chinese medicine and are familiar with some so-called "secret recipes".
Dean Gu pointed to one of the research groups and said:
"This 'Hua Yu Ruangan Decoction' is a secret recipe. I also saw related records from my master. It is mainly used to treat cirrhosis of the liver with ascites. In Western medical terms, it is used to treat liver fibrosis.
The ingredients are raw worms, salvia miltiorrhiza, turtle shell, roasted pangolin, astragalus root, white atractylodes, and codonopsis, Mr. Lin, am I right?"
Lin Sanqi immediately added a rainbow fart:
"Director Gu is a master of traditional Chinese medicine after all. He can accurately describe any prescription, haha. This is what I think, since we know the effect of this prescription and the specific medicinal ingredients.
So the question is, if this prescription is indeed effective for treating ascites caused by liver cirrhosis, which ingredients are responsible and what are their effects? Why are these herbs combined in this way, and what are the resulting chemical components? This is what we need to thoroughly understand.
If we know which drug ingredient is effective, can we use modern Western medicine extraction methods to make this active ingredient into a special medicine, and then make it into tablets or capsules for sale on the market?
This is the idea of the entire research team.
Each of the secret recipes above was painstakingly collected by me, and I also possess a large number of ancient medical books, most of which are unique copies. This is the advantage of our Lingnan Hall, and I hope to turn this advantage into a patent.
Therefore, collaborating with Lingnan Hospital does not mean that TCM doctors can indulge in unbridled imagination and squander limited research funds at will. After all, Lingnan Hospital is a private enterprise, unlike government-funded funds, which can be spent without regret.
We have listed all the above topics, just like a list of heroes. Any doctor or researcher who thinks he can take this topic can take it. We at Lingnan Hall will provide equipment and money if needed.
If the project is successful and results are achieved, Lingnan Hall will offer generous rewards, starting at tens of millions, depending on the size of the results. However, if the project team fails to produce results, we will eventually stop providing further funding.
Furthermore, if anyone maliciously embezzles research funds, we will not only blacklist them but also prosecute them for embezzlement. We will also have a third-party audit department conduct regular financial audits.”
Dean Gu and Vice Dean Fan were of course well aware of the corruption issues in the academic community, and they laughed and said:
"We agree with strict management. After all, as leaders, we want to see tangible results, not just be singled out by your Lingnan Hall as the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine failing and the people there being too greedy. That would ruin our hospital's reputation."
Lin Sanqi explained half-truthfully:
"We are also the villains first, and the gentlemen later. We will definitely not reduce the treatment that should be given to scientific researchers or traditional Chinese medicine doctors by a single cent, and we will absolutely follow the highest standards in the industry in terms of money.
You can't expect the horse to run fast without letting it eat grass, right? So rest assured, deans! For anyone joining this research group full-time, we'll double their current salary.
If they are part-time staff, we will also provide a monthly subsidy. In short, we will ensure that all members of the research team can focus on their research without having to worry about income. I can guarantee this in front of the two deans! "
The world is bustling with people, all for the sake of profit; the world is in turmoil, all for the sake of profit.
There are tens of millions of truths in this world, but in the end it’s just a matter of “interests”.
It's like a research group, which may be done by a professor and five or six graduate students.
On a larger scale, a few professors hire a group of doctoral students or junior doctors to work on a project (such as Anthony's team).
What is the professor in charge trying to achieve? Is it just to make some money from the research group, or to gain fame and fortune if the project succeeds?
If the project is successful and produces results, the one who will gain fame and profit is the project leader. What does it have to do with those young researchers and doctors?
What they are after is the subsidies or compensation they can earn from the research group.
Young doctors and researchers have almost no right to have their names published. At most, they can get a handwritten letter of recommendation from a professor, praising them a little and laying the foundation for their future job hunting.
So everyone is doing it for money, and Lin Sanqi gave them enough money from the beginning, which is what he should do as a boss.
After all, Lin Sanqi does all this to make money.
Dean Gu took the information and pondered for a long time before turning back to Vice Dean Fan and saying:
"Old Fan, I think we need to hold a meeting of all the staff at the institute, publicly announce the cooperation agreement with Lingnan Hall, and then let the staff freely choose the projects to participate in and freely form groups to cooperate. What do you think?"
Vice President Fan nodded and said:
"This is a good idea. This is Lingnan Hall's assigned essay. We have secured this opportunity for the staff. Whether they can seize it is their own business. You can't blame our hospital leaders for being incompetent in the future."
Dean Gu saw that his deputy agreed, so he smiled and asked:
"Director Lin, how do we arrange the research funding?"
Lin Sanqi was unequivocal: "There are a total of 20 research groups here. I guarantee you a minimum of $100 million in research funding, no upper limit."
Vice President Fan felt a little regretful, thinking that Huadu Medical University boasted that it had $500 million, while Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine only had $100 million, and he felt like he was being outshined.
Dean Gu doesn't think so. He pays more attention to the substance:
"Okay, with Director Lin's promise, I feel reassured. $100 million is a lot, and as long as we work hard and produce more results than Huadu Medical, I'm sure Director Lin will invest more in research in the future."
Lin Sanqi thought to himself that Dean Gu was indeed a smart man and saw through his funding plan at a glance.
Now, whether it is 100 million US dollars or 200 million US dollars, it actually doesn’t mean much. What will ultimately depend on is which of the two units can achieve better results and which one can provide Lingnan Hall with patented drugs.
The initial capital is not important, what is important is the subsequent capital, that is the big part. (End of this chapter)
