Chapter 77:

This kind of person has a keen intuition for biopharmaceutical experiments that is difficult to explain with science. According to Li Zheng, this is a good meal.
Zhong Peng looked a little embarrassed. In fact, he took out this thing and considered it for a long time. To be honest, he didn't have any assurance that Li Zheng could accept him.
In addition to being a professor at the School of Medicine of Xiangjiang University, Zhong Peng found that in the ten years after leaving the school, he could not get any results. This recognition couldn't help making him a little bit decadent.
This stack of materials is a conjecture derived from reading authoritative journals such as "Science" and "Cell", combining his professional knowledge, and some small experiments that he has done if possible.
Many of his conjectures have been proven correct by time, which has always been one of the things he is most proud of. It's just that these conjectures lacking data support are usually contented, but when they are really put on the table in front of an expert like Li Zheng, Zhong Peng is still a little ashamed.
Because even he himself knows that in the laboratory, conjectures without data support are just conjectures.
And guess... even a biopharmaceutical student can name countless.
"Many of these conjectures have been proven to be feasible..." Zhong Peng said a few words, and then shook his head with a wry smile. He is not a fledgling novice, and he is still so uncomfortable.
Li Zheng solemnly put the stack of materials on the coffee table, and then said: "I'm surprised, you have an amazing intuition in pharmacology."
Zhong Peng was stunned. He heard the meaning of Li Zheng's words, and for a moment he only felt a little sore in his eye sockets, "Do you really believe me?"
Li Zheng shrugged, stood up and took out a thick pile of materials wrapped in kraft paper from the safe not far away.
"This is my experimental advancement plan for the improvement of the baminerazine drug. It has not been implemented because the extraction steps of the most important compound for drug improvement are very complicated, which means that the production cost of the drug will be greatly increased. For the applicable people, it’s not worth the loss."
Zhong Peng was a former colleague of Xu Mingsheng, and to Li Zheng, he was considered an elder-level figure. Although he will soon become his subordinate, Li Zheng has no less respect for his elders.
"I believe you naturally." Li Zheng said with a smile.
Looking at the word "Top Secret" on the kraft paper with a red seal, Zhong Peng said in his heart that he didn't feel that it was absolutely deceiving. In their circle, if they do not recognize the other's character, they will never show the research results that have not been published or registered.
Li Zheng’s move is that he has already made a decision to sign the laboratory "bug" of Zhong Peng anyway. The second is absolute confidence in yourself. This experiment promotion plan Li Zheng didn't make any intentions at all, it was very rough, and there were some things that only he could understand.
The waves in Zhong Peng's heart were turbulent, and the turbulent emotions were difficult to calm. At this age, he actually had a kind of impulse to "die for the confidant".
The rough data analysis in Li Zheng's promotion experiment plan, although the east and the west are one piece, but the result of the combined push actually overlaps more than 60% of his own conjecture.
"Thank you! Thank you really!" Zhong Peng straightened up and bowed slightly to Li Zheng. Even if he did not apply for the job this time, Li Zheng's affirmation of him is already a very precious harvest for him.
Li Zheng dodged sideways. He touched his nose and stood up with a dry cough, "If you are interested, please practice your guess."
When Zhong Peng heard this, his spirit was refreshed. He knew that the highlight was coming, and Mr. Li Zheng was going to test his practical ability.
He nodded solemnly, and then gathered his white lab coat, and walked into the second lab with a serious face.
Li Zheng stared at Zhong Peng's movements without blinking.
To be honest, he hasn't entered the laboratory for more than ten years. Zhong Peng's movements seem a bit stiff. His hand holding the test tube trembles slightly, not knowing whether it is nervous or excited.
Fifteen minutes later, Li Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly. Zhong Peng's experimental operation was not very good, even Li Zheng's current assistant Zhang Yuejun could reach this level under Li Zheng's practice.
However...Compared with Zhang Yuejun, Zhong Peng's experimental technique obviously has its own characteristics, that is...a little bit angry.
This is probably a small problem caused by the difficult scientific research conditions in the past ten years without own laboratory.
Two hours later, Zhong Peng came out of the laboratory with a wry smile.
"I failed," he said bitterly.
Just as Li Zheng said, this compound to improve paminerazine is very difficult to extract. Zhong Peng carefully worked it out step by step, but ultimately failed.
"It's already fine." Li Zheng patted Zhong Peng on the shoulder, which was not to comfort him. For Li Zheng, the extraction of this compound has to be a little thought, and it may not be successful once. For Zhong Peng, who has been away from the laboratory for more than ten years, his performance is considered qualified.
"Then we can now talk about the specific terms of employment." Li Zheng said with a smile.
Zhong Peng opened his mouth in surprise, and his expression was excited and delighted. He coughed and straightened his waist.
"I hired the project leader this time. Those who are successfully hired can choose one of three, four, five, three laboratories. In your own laboratory, you are the laboratory leader, and I will not interfere with your experiments. Any matters in the interior. As for remuneration, it will be increased by 20% compared to the remuneration of professors at Hong Kong University."
Li Zheng thought for a while and continued: "As for the problem of inconvenience you raised here. I will ask Zheng Lingling to hire a driver. There is a shared commercial vehicle in the laboratory. I usually don't use it. For your project leader."
"Of course." Li Zheng paused, his face serious, "Where there is a right, there is an obligation. In Li Zheng's laboratory, all the projects initiated by the project leader require me to sign and confirm, and you must unconditionally accept my assignment. For your project. And during the contract period, I am the sole owner of the patent for the research results of the project, and I will be the corresponding author of all papers published in the journal."
"Can you accept it?" Li Zheng put his chin on and looked at Zhong Peng seriously.
Li Zheng’s salary is already very generous, and Zhong Peng had long expected the patent rights and research results. Just like when he was in college, even if it was a project that was done independently by graduate students, the corresponding author of the paper was still a mentor.
Whether it is a pharmaceutical company laboratory or those internationally well-known laboratories, there is such a clause in the appointment letter. After all, these laboratories are profitable, not charitable. Compared to those graduate students who do white jobs, at least his salary is pretty good.
"These are old rules, I can accept it!" Zhong Peng nodded firmly. He can't wait to return to the long-lost laboratory!
Li Zheng laughed.
He took out a pen and handed it to Zhong Peng, "In that case, happy cooperation."
Zhong Peng took the pen and signed his name the letter of appointment, penetrating the back of the paper, leaving a deep scratch on the white paper.
Signing the "bug" of this laboratory to his own laboratory, Li Zheng was very happy. You must know that as soon as the future generations come out, they will be fiercely scrambled by the major laboratories. If it were then, with the current scale of Li Zheng's laboratory, there would be no chance to participate in the competition.
"Mr. Zhong, now I will take you to see the 3-4 Lab. You can choose one of them as your future lab." Li Zheng said with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhong Peng stood up immediately, "Okay." He waited for Li Zheng's words but waited for a long time. This is his own large laboratory with advanced equipment, which he has not dared to dream of for more than ten years. One thing you wish for.
Li Zheng led Zhong Peng to the No. 3 laboratory.
The No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5 laboratories are all on the opposite side of the artificial lake, and there is a long distance from the No. 1 and No. 2 laboratories.
"Arrived."
Li Zheng took out the key and opened the door.
The layout of the No. 3 laboratory is the same as the No. 2 laboratory, but because the decoration has not been put into use, there is still a strange smell in the No. 3 laboratory.
Zhong Peng grinned wide, he quickly walked to the window of Laboratory No. 3 and opened several windows.
"That's it, you don't need to look at it." His eyes scanned the world-class experimental equipment, and the excitement on his face was hard to conceal. He couldn't wait to fall in love with these experimental equipment.
Li Zheng laughed blankly.
As a person in the same circle, Li Zheng understands Zhong Peng’s psychology. He nodded and said with a smile: "Then I won’t bother you. The equipment in the third laboratory is complete, but the reagents and the like. You also need to apply for things yourself. The application process and forms are included in the laboratory usage guidelines." Li Zheng pointed to the white paper hanging on the wall.
Zhong Peng nodded vigorously, and then carefully stroked each piece of experimental equipment with his hand. He looked at them as if looking at his beloved lover, softly dripping water.
Li Zheng touched his nose, and Zhong Peng probably ignored him. He shrugged and walked out wisely.
Zhong Peng has eaten, but he hasn't eaten yet.
In the morning, Li Zheng had not had time to have breakfast because he was too frightened. After arriving at Qingyuan, it happened that Zhong Peng came to the door, and he had not eaten. His stomach was grumbled with hunger.
