Deng Bingcheng was stunned.
He wasn’t soone who lacked experience; he had tasted even the finest hairy crabs before, but this was the first ti he had encountered hairy crabs served at a work al.
Typically, the work als provided by laboratories were simply ordinary als delivered by a nearby catering service, and those inside universities were directly taken from the cafeteria, the sa as what the students ate.
The Biodical Research Institute, on the other hand, directly served braised hairy crabs, including one king crab.
Such a level of luxury for a work al was truly extravagant.
Deng Bingcheng felt a bit hungry, but he still resisted the urge to eat and began to ask Fan Lei about his work; he could tell that the young man in front of him certainly knew he was here to work.
"Doctor Deng, this way, please!"
Fan Lei was not here for Deng Bingcheng, but still entertained him warmly.
In the laboratory hall, there were a few people, with Liu Chengjie being the most familiar. The others were associate researchers and students under Zhu Qi and Li Ming.
So were busy with their tasks at hand, while those who weren’t joined in looking over.
Liu Chengjie, belonging to Zhao Yi’s lab and also an associate researcher, felt at ho on his own turf. He too ca over to inquire about Doctor Deng and then joined in the hospitality.
The two led Deng Bingcheng to a small room on the side of the corridor and upon entering, he realized it was a small laboratory.
The small laboratory was roughly thirty-so square ters and felt quite spacious upon entering. There were a few pieces of basic equipnt on both sides, the workbench was fully furnished with all kinds of apparatuses, and there was even an isolation board in the left corner enclosing a small office equipped with a desk, a computer, and a decent single bed.
After touring around, Deng Bingcheng imdiately felt very satisfied. He could tell that the lab was already set up nicely, but all the apparatuses inside were brand new, including a new computer in the partition, which must have been prepared especially for him.
He returned to the entrance and asked Fan Lei, "Do you know if the laboratory has made any other preparations for my research?"
What Deng Bingcheng wanted to ask about was project-related matters, but thinking that the other party was just a logistic worker and probably didn’t know the specifics, his question sounded more like he was inquiring about his own work benefits.
Fan Lei did understand, "The institute has a reserved chimpanzee for experints, which was arranged to be brought here yesterday. But as you know, transportation is not easy; it should take about three days."
Deng Bingcheng nodded his head repeatedly.
The big chimpanzee was the support provided by Zhao Yi’s laboratory, just using resources from the Biodical Research Institute.
The institute already had a reserved chimpanzee for research purposes, and when the laboratory needed one, it wasn’t feasible to spend additional funds to purchase another. Even if they were to buy one, it would take a significant amount of ti. Utilizing the reserved chimpanzee simply ant only spending the ti to transport it.
Of course.
There were those in the institute who were not pleased.
Yan Xuelin, upon hearing that Zhao Yi’s laboratory was using the institute’s reserved big chimpanzee for the research of an outsider, his face turned frighteningly dark.
That was money, after all!
An experintal chimpanzee’s market price was at least two million yuan.
If it was just for ordinary observational experints, it might have been fine, but the other party was a neurosurgeon, a guy doing brain nerve research. Could it be just ordinary observation? Maybe he would perform an incision on the head of the chimpanzee.
The chimpanzee being used in experints could be considered dying for a cause, but its intrinsic two million yuan selling price...
"Sigh!"
If it were any other laboratory, Yan Xuelin would have outright refused, but with Zhao Yi’s lab, there was no way out; it was Zhao Yi himself who had agreed, so Yan could only begrudgingly consent, thinking to himself, "I hope this Doctor Deng, who studies neurological diseases, can really produce so research results!"
"If he produces results, it won’t be a loss!"
What research institutions need most is results; with sufficient results, one can secure higher funding support and expand influence within the field.
Zhao Yi’s laboratory had signed an agreent with Deng Bingcheng, with his related research results belonging to Zhao Yi’s laboratory, and thus, effectively to the Biodical Research Institute. As long as results followed, everything would be worthwhile.
When Deng Bingcheng heard that the chimpanzee was already on its way, his face instantly bead with joy; he had always wanted a chimpanzee for research.
The Affiliated Laboratory of Central North dical College had so strength, but since most of those conducting research were doctors, with only a few being professional dical researchers, their investnt in research funding wasn’t high, making it difficult to apply for large projects worth tens of millions.
Deng Bingcheng had produced quite a few results, but getting the laboratory to spend a large sum of money to provide him with an experintal chimpanzee was still too extravagant; either his research was not up to that standard or it couldn’t get approved even if it was.
During the research process, if there were alternatives, they would certainly be chosen in order to save on expenses.
Now that he was at the Biodical Research Institute, an experintal chimpanzee had been provided directly. Deng Bingcheng felt extrely touched, as if he had been working for decades with a salary of five thousand and suddenly earned a part-ti job...
What’s this?
A salary of twenty thousand?
Deng Bingcheng truly felt the urge to resign from his original job and directly jump ship, but he suppressed it, as his profession was that of a doctor, and he couldn’t abandon his dical career to focus solely on research.
Unless...
"Maybe in a few years, it would be possible? To have research as my main occupation and dicine as my secondary role," Deng Bingcheng mused that indeed it would be feasible, as long as he wasn’t bound to a fixed clinic schedule, he could devote more ti to research.
After staying in the small laboratory for a while, Deng Bingcheng went to the main hall of the laboratory, greeted a few people nearby, got to know them briefly, and followed Fan Lei to the main laboratory.
