C1234 Gene Research
Huang Yanmei and Cheng Hongluan were both people who liked to play. After holding it in for a few days, coupled with the clear weather, it was like a small horse that had escaped from prison. Shopping street, snack street, small goods... Their cheerful figures were everywhere.
"Professor Li, do you have something on your mind?" Dongfang Qingyu noticed that Li Hongdou, who was also walking behind him, had a calm expression, but there was a faint trace of worry between her brows.
"No!" Li Hongdou wanted to say something but stopped herself.
"Is there anything else we need to hide between us?" Dongfang Qingyu was a little unhappy.
"It's not hiding, it's really nothing." Li Hongdou did not dare to look into Dongfang Qingyu's eyes.
"Do you want milk tea?" Dongfang Qingyu saw that there was a milk tea shop nearby and stopped in his tracks. He called out to Cheng Hongluan and Huang Yanmei who were still discussing clothes.
"We haven't digested the drink we just drank. We won't eat it!" Huang Yanmei and Cheng Hongluan said at the same time.
Dongfang Qingyu shook his head helplessly and ordered two cups of Hongdou milk tea. One of his own cups was cold and the one he gave Li Hongdou was hot. He gently said, "I'm the one you don't want to trouble me with, but don't forget. We live in the same house. "
Li Hongdou's long eyelashes trembled a few times. She held the milk tea in her hands and did not drink it. She hesitated for a moment and chased after Dongfang Qingyu with small steps. "Actually, it's not my problem. It's my mentor's matter."
Dongfang Qingyu saw Cheng Hongluan and Huang Yanmei enter a jewelry store and sat down on a stool at the side. The two of them would not be able to come out of the jewelry store for less than half an hour.
"Sit down and talk." Dongfang Qingyu patted the empty seat.
Li Hongdou sat down, and Dongfang Qingyu immediately moved his butt closer to her. Squeezing the gap, the two of them were almost together. Li Hongdou twisted her neck unnaturally. But she did not dodge. She said softly, "My teacher's surname is Li. He is the most top biology professor in the country. A PhD student teacher. When I was in school, he took good care of me! "
" What happened now? " Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"What he studied was about genes. Originally, he studied it together with Bell Laboratory in the United States. It was funded by a consortium in the United States, but unfortunately... There was a financial problem with that consortium, and the funds couldn't keep up. The experiment was forced to stop. Because Instructor Li needed to run often in the United States, he joined the United States. Now, he wanted to get sponsorship in the country, but because of his identity, no one is willing to sponsor him." Li Hongdou said with some dissatisfaction.
"Instructor Li should be from Zhong University, right? Doesn't Zhong University care?" Dongfang Qingyu did not understand.
"Because there is a problem with the direction of research, Instructor Li and the Zhong University have their own arguments. No one can convince the other. The direction of the research in Zhong University has stagnated, but there is no extra strength to support Instructor Li. Instructor Li could only rely on himself. But because of his nationality, his current identity is very awkward. " Li Hongdou said.
Dongfang Qingyu could feel this. Otherwise, the dignified Instructor Li would not have told Li Hongdou. Since he said so, he had the intention of asking Li Hongdou for help. The dignified PhD student instructor wanted to ask his student for help. It could be seen that he had reached a very embarrassing state.
"Do you just need money?" This was the first time Dongfang Qingyu had heard that a PhD teacher was in need of money.
"Yes," ___ said. Li Hongdou nodded.
"How much?" Dongfang Qingyu often read the news, saying that he was researching something, but he felt that it was very far away from him. For the first time, he felt that this thing was right beside him.
"Research is a bottomless pit. I can't tell how much it costs. Luckily, I managed to develop it the next day. I might not even need a penny. If I encounter a problem that I cannot break through, I will not be able to solve it in three to five years. Then the amount of money I need will be an astronomical figure. " Li Hongdou said.
"Get to the point." Dongfang Qingyu said.
"Instructor Li said that Bell's laboratory has stopped its research. The Zhong University also has a very good appearance. He needs to rebuild the laboratory with all kinds of materials, personnel, and so on. The initial investment is about 30 million. " Li Hongdou said.
Dongfang Qingyu nodded. 30 million was alright. It was not much. If it was worth it, he did not mind helping Li Hongdou. However, Li Hongdou's next sentence almost made him stand up.
... "USD!"
The exchange rate between RMB and US dollars was 7: 1. 30 million US dollars was 210 million RMB.
"The initial investment is 30 million US dollars?" Dongfang Qingyu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "What about later?"
"Not very sure, but 50 to 60 million USD is always needed." Li Hongdou felt a little guilty.
Dongfang Qingyu immediately gave up the idea of helping others. If it was thirty to fifty million, now that he had money, he could still throw a thousand gold coins for a beauty. But if the unit was in USD, he would not be willing to spend it. For someone he had nothing to do with, he would take away his ordinary wealth. He wasn't willing.
"What is a gene? What effect does it have? What is the success rate of the research? " Dongfang Qingyu suddenly felt thirsty and drank half a cup of milk tea in one breath.
"The scope of gene research is very wide. My teacher is researching on strengthening genes." Li Hongdou saw the doubt in Dongfang Qingyu's eyes and gave an example. "The strength of an ordinary person is between 200-300 jin. If the gene is strengthened, then... The strength will increase to a certain extent. It might be 200-350. It might be 300-500. This is not fixed. There were a lot of things related to gene strengthening: muscles, bones, nerves, blood vessels... Instructor Li's goal was to strengthen the soul, but this was his future goal. For the time being, all he needs to do is strengthen his physical body."
"Strength, speed, isn't that strengthening him into a superman?" Dongfang Qingyu heard the name of the superman from the United States, the superman who wore a pair of underpants.
"Theoretically, that's the case. But as for the specifics, we still need to verify them. However, I can feel that Professor Li's research is close to success. Otherwise... "Li Hongdou saw Cheng Hongluan and Huang Yanmei coming out and immediately shut her mouth. Lowering her head and milk tea.
Mentor Li's research required a huge amount of money and Dongfang Qingyu lost interest. After Li Hongdou said what she wanted to say, her mood relaxed a lot. After a while, she joined Cheng Hongluan and Huang Yanmei's shopping team. The three of them met someone they liked in the various clothing stores. Regardless of whether the weather was suitable or not, they had to give it a try.
Dongfang Qingyu wanted to sit on the sofa outside and wait like the other men, but Huang Yanmei would not let him go. She wanted to catch him and give him an evaluation.
Dongfang Qingyu and the three girls didn't notice that since they left the mall, two people had been sneakily following them from afar.
