Zhu Tian: The Fiery Years Begin with Taking Qin Huairu as a Concubine

Chapter 172 Bullets by Box
While walking with Wang Tiantian in the medical school campus, Zhang Kaiwu did not forget to do ideological work for her.

The budget for drug research is a bottomless pit. Generally, the costs are calculated in millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions!

Wang Tiantian hugged him and said with a smile:
"Brother Kaiwu! I'm so scared! You have to be careful! If this gets out, the bullets fired by the Patrol Department might be counted by the box or even the ton."

Zhang Kaiwu slapped her on the buttocks, looked at her angrily and said:
"Did you misunderstand something? This is a legitimate research institute, not a scammer's project!"

"What do you mean by counting bullets by box or ton? Who do you think I am?!"

Wang Tiantian hugged him and said with a charming look in her eyes and a smile:
"Brother Kaiwu! I know all this! You must pay attention when the time comes, and be careful when you run away."

Zhang Kaiwu: “…”

Wang Tian smiled sweetly and said:

"I heard from the young lady that you have acquaintances in Black Dragon Mountain?"

Zhang Kaiwu rubbed her and said speechlessly:

"What nonsense are you guys talking about? I'm a good citizen, how could I know a bandit?"

Wang Tian looked at him with a sweet smile and said, "Just talk nonsense!"

You taught me how to cook the books.

.....................

When they arrived at Dean Wang's office, Wang Tiantian didn't dare to pull the collar of his clothes or threaten to pull out his beard.

She handed the application report to Dean Wang in an orderly manner, sat down beside him, and watched the fun in silence.

If Wang Tiantian applied for the four hundred thousand dollars of funding without a legitimate reason, even if she plucked out all her grandfather's beard, Dean Wang would not agree.

It seems that Wang Tiantian’s only way to get money is to threaten to pull out his beard.

Zhang Kaiwu handed a cigarette to Dean Wang, who looked cautious, then found a chair and sat opposite him, then lit the cigarette with a snap.

Dean Wang looked at the list and thought, are you guys here to defraud us again?
When I took a closer look at the amount, I was shocked by the string of zeros.

He looked at Zhang Kaiwu, who was smoking a cigarette with a calm expression, and then looked at his project carefully.

Study on the Detoxification of Erythromycin

There is definitely no problem with this project. It is not just some flower or grass planting, but a serious research project budget.

But the project is too ambitious. Is this something we can do in our medical school?
Dean Wang looked at the couple and couldn't help asking:
"Kaiwu! You came here to apply for this project today. Do you have a research direction? Do you have some inspiration?"

Blowing out a smoke ring, Zhang Kaiwu looked at him and said calmly:
"Brother Wang! No! Just a random study. If I had a clear direction, I would have to apply for 4 million in research and development funds. What can I do with 400,000 dollars!?"

Of course, he has a clear research direction and knows the general process, but can he explain this?! ?

If it is revealed that I have achieved results and was forced to run away, or kidnapped, how can I complete the mission in the beautiful country! ?

.....................

Dean Wang looked at him and thought he was somewhat confident. At least he had some inspiration, otherwise he wouldn't be so calm.

Dean Wang called Dean Zhu and two other deans and invited them to come over to discuss the matter.

The amount is not large, but it is not small either. The project is also very attractive. He cannot make the decision on this matter alone.

What worries Dean Wang more is not the money. This amount of money is really nothing to the school, as it is paid by higher-ups anyway.

The research institute that produces imitation penicillin costs much more than this project.

What Dean Wang feared was that Zhang Kaiwu would be too ambitious and ruin his future.

When the old men gathered, they all read the application report. Of course, the deans knew the power of Zhang Kaiwu's research project, and they all thought about it silently.

Old man Zhu couldn't help but say:
"As a macrolide antibiotic, erythromycin has excellent anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. Many countries are also conducting research on its toxicity and side effects. Many countries' top laboratories are also studying this. I know of no less than five. Kaiwu, are you setting your goal too high?!"

"Money is a small matter. This matter is too difficult! Young people should not set their goals too far! If nothing is achieved in the future, will you regret wasting your time and energy?"

Zhang Kaiwu said with a smile:
"Is it like you guys? Don't even dare to think about it for a moment!?"

"It is precisely because I am young that I have plenty of time and unlimited possibilities."

"The research direction of erythromycin drugs, this matter can only be fruitful if one's laboratory is more advanced or one's money is more expensive?"

Dean Gong held a cigarette in his mouth and said with a smile:

"Many countries have been researching erythromycin for decades since it was discovered in 1888, consuming countless financial and material resources, as well as the most critical talents!"

"Kaiwu! Aren't we worried that you'll be wasting our talent? Your medical skills are improving so fast now. You can become a famous doctor before you're 25, far surpassing us old guys."

Dean Zhou quickly said:

"Kaiwu! You've made rapid progress and are now almost as good as us. Your future achievements are truly limitless."

"Twenty-two years old! If you continue to develop step by step, at the latest, you will be a top-notch Chinese and Western medicine doctor by the age of twenty-two. A bright future is waiting for you. Why choose to study erythromycin, which is a vague and thankless task!"

"Many people waste their entire lives studying it!"

Zhang Kaiwu held a cigarette in his mouth and asked with a smile:
"How many patients have you four saved in your lifetime of practicing medicine? How long has penicillin been around? How many people has it saved since it was improved and purified?"

“If this erythromycin project succeeds and becomes a new safe oral anti-inflammatory drug, it will be the best in the world. How many people can it save in the future!?”

"How many patients do you think can be saved in the future through penicillin research?"

"Can we only copy others? Can't we make achievements on our own? If I put all my efforts into research, maybe I will succeed!?"

"I am still so young and have plenty of time. I have to build an ideal and realize it. This is a meaningful life."

"How many lives can I save if I just become a doctor? I have no interest in being a doctor. Am I going to just muddle through like this?"

Wang Tiantian looked at Zhang Kaiwu with a smile, which made the group of old deans look ashamed.

Majestic!

.....................

The four old men were no match for Zhang Kaiwu, and they were all thinking about something with cigarettes in their mouths.

Dean Wang and Dean Zhu, because they are relatives of Zhang Kaiwu, find it difficult to persuade Zhang Kaiwu.

The two of them kept signaling to Dean Zhou and Dean Gong, wanting them to help persuade them.

Prevent Zhang Kaiwu from going astray and delaying his studies.

A genius doctor like Zhang Kaiwu only appears once every few hundred years!

Otherwise everyone is rushing to send their granddaughter! ?

She was not tired of dealing with this ruffian, was tolerant of Zhang Kaiwu's behavior, and tolerated his extortion.

We all hope that he will get on the right track one day and his future achievements will be limitless!

The old guys are also people with ideals.

At last!
Dean Zhou couldn't stand his friend's gaze and said with a smile:

"Kaiwu! You can definitely give the project a try, otherwise you should focus on your studies and do this research in your spare time."

Dean Gong said quickly:
"Kaiwu! Actually, if you think about it carefully, you will understand that learning and research go hand in hand. The better you learn, the broader your research ideas will be!"

Dean Wang also smiled and said:

"President Gong is right! If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools!"

"With rich clinical medical experience and abundant knowledge, it is easier to do things and I can avoid many detours."

Looking at these silly old guys who were afraid that he would go astray, he was a little moved.

It was not until the late 1980s that the correct usage of erythromycin was discovered accidentally.

Over the past hundreds of years, these simple steps have killed countless scientific researchers.

Zhang Kaiwu pretended to think for a while and looked at the old men who were looking expectant.

Don't worry! Let the bullets fly for a while.

After smoking another cigarette, he slowly said:

"I will focus on studying in the future, so this is fine. But I have to get the budget first, and build a laboratory. I don't know when I will have an inspiration and I have to use it!?"

Dean Wang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:
"Of course there is no problem with this. We will apply for equipment immediately and try to use the best."

"We will process the budget for you today. This is not a big expense. Just as you said, if there are results, four million is just a small number." Old Man Zhu felt relieved and said with a smile:

"Kaiwu! You are right to think this way. First of all, you are a top doctor, so your vision will be broad."

"For pharmacology research, it will be more transparent and more convenient for you to study."

Dean Wang was relieved, and he wrote the list with a smile, saying:

"There's no rush to research erythromycin. When are you going to give birth, Tian Tian?!"

"Look at how capable your sister Zhiyin is. In a few months, she will become a mother next year. Aren't you envious?"

"President Zhu is going to have his great-grandson soon. How can you not work hard, Tian Tian?!"

Old man Zhu couldn't close his mouth and said with a smile:

"Hahaha! Zhiyin is just averagely good! She calculated that she would give birth to two children in three years!"

Wang Tiantian blushed and said:
"Grandpa! Are you trying to pull out my beard again!?"

Zhang Kaiwu watched them go through the formalities with a smile, thinking that he was just doing it for fun, but unfortunately they didn't know that.

I am just a porter, not tinkering around without a purpose.

If Zhang Kaiwu wants, the preliminary application of erythromycin can be studied and small results can be achieved in one month.

It would take two months for Zhang Kaiwu to research out advanced applications after acetylation and achieve great results.

Those things are just cards in your hand, and you will play them out when you need them.

Ha ha ha ha ha!
........................

Zhang Kaiwu and Wang Tiantian took the funding application form and ran to the finance office to ask for money.

The funding of four hundred thousand oceans is the cost of two thousand large yellow croakers.

Wang Tiantian was so nervous that her hands were shaking. She looked around and whispered to Zhang Kaiwu:
"Brother Kaiwu! Are we going to run away after taking the money today? Where are we going to run to?"

Zhang Kaiwu looked at her speechlessly. Xiao Tiantian's face was full of tension. This was the aftereffect of cooking the books.

When I went into the finance office, others thought there were robbers.

He took her to sit down in the veranda, rubbed her and whispered:
"Tian Tian! I'm going to get this funding today to do serious research. It's really for studying erythromycin, not for growing flowers or plants."

Wang Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief, looked at him with a smile and said:
"Brother Kaiwu! I think so too. It's not easy to cook the books with so much money!"

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"We'll talk about the accounting after we get back. Just relax. You think the amount of money we applied for is a lot, but you don't have enough experience. It's just enough to buy a B29 bomber, which is about US dollars."

"This little bit of money is really a drop in the bucket for serious research work. Don't overthink it."

"That is to say, the research institute outside the Temple of Heaven only spent several million dollars just to make a copy of procaine penicillin, right?"

Wang Tian smiled sweetly and said:

"I get it, Brother Kaiwu! We are also doing serious research, not nonsense!"

Seeing that Wang Tiantian had recovered and was walking on the correct ideological path, Zhang Kaiwu took her to the finance office.

Zhang Kaiwu walked into the finance office and handed over the list with a smile.

Several staff members in the finance office saw the list and read it over and over again. There was definitely nothing wrong with the list, as these two were also popular figures in the medical school.

Said cautiously:
"Mr. Zhang! We need to make a phone call to verify this. We need to report this to our superiors and also call the city to report this."

"We are in the finance office. We may need to go to the city to transfer some funds. Please wait for a moment."

Zhang Kaiwu said with a smile:
"Comrades! This is all as it should be. It's okay! Go and do your work. We'll be waiting for you here."

"We are not in a hurry. Comrades, go ahead!"

Zhang Kaiwu and Wang Tiantian drank tea in the finance office for more than two hours, chatting and laughing with Xiao Tiantian.

The Finance Office verified everything according to the regulations and sent people to the offices of several deans to verify.

He also arranged for people to go to the city to secure the funds, withdraw money from the bank, and sent people to get a budget for Zhang Kaiwu's car.

It was indeed brought in by a large truck, with 2,000 large yellow croakers and more than 600 kilograms of gold neatly laid out.

Zhang Kaiwu took Xiao Tiantian into the car with a smile and took her directly to his own research institute.

Several people used the bank's special cloth bags, each containing a hundred large yellow croakers, and moved them to his office on the second floor.

The weather at the end of July was so hot that they looked exhausted and sweating.

Zhang Kaiwu handed cigarettes to each of them with a smile and chatted with them cordially.

Twenty cloth bags were moved to the office on the second floor and neatly stacked.

Zhang Kaiwu carefully counted the quantity before signing the receipt.

After sending them downstairs, Zhang Kaiwu waved his hand and said with a smile as he watched the busy finance staff leave:

"Take care, comrades, thank you for your hard work!"

"Be careful on the road! I'm really sorry to bother you today!"

After Zhang Kaiwu cordially saw them off, he returned upstairs.

.....................

I saw a group of women looking at yellow croaker in the office, and even Xiao Tiantian, the person involved, was no exception.

She held a cloth bag filled with yellow croakers on her lap, not afraid of its weight, and took out the big yellow croakers one by one, feeling them carefully.

The usually calm young lady also sat on the sofa, smiling and pinching the big yellow croaker with her sister-in-law.

Qin Huairu smiled foolishly, holding a heavy yellow croaker in one hand, and muttered softly:

"The big yellow croakers are all ours, these things are all ours, hehehehehe!"

Liang Ladi and her sisters looked at these things in amazement, using their poor arithmetic skills to calculate what they could buy! ?

Su Xiaoyao, with her two sisters, was also there, pinching and touching, counting with a smile on her face.

Emil held a large yellow croaker in his hand, looked at the yellow croaker on the ground, and muttered softly:

"Oh my god! It's so beautiful."

Zhang Kaiwu looked at the group of crazy women speechlessly. Xiao Tiantian and Su Xiaoyao, who often saw big yellow croaker, were crazy about it.

There were also two large yellow croakers in Su Xiaoyao's dowry.

Wang Tiantian’s dowry included fifty large yellow croakers.

Emile’s monthly salary is equivalent to the price of a large yellow croaker.

But how much is this! ?
It really melted into a pile, not even as big as a large winter melon.

It has a volume of only 0.0315 cubic meters, which is about the size of half a jeep's fuel tank.

According to the conversion rate of the Republic of China, it was only 20,000 taels of gold.

The bald chairman's casual reward was 50,000 taels of gold.

These things are just piled together to dazzle the eyes, and everyone is just too greedy to look at them!

Their madness is just normal, and it will be fine after it passes.

Zhang Kaiwu did not try to persuade them. He sat down, lit a cigarette, and watched them go crazy and talk about the beauty of gold.

It took quite a while.

The young lady was the first to wake up and took her sister-in-law and Liang Ladi sisters to study.

The big yellow croaker is right there and won't run away. Kaiwu certainly has his own arrangements. Don't get in the way here.

Learning is the most important thing for them to change their destiny.

Su Xiaoyao also left reluctantly with her two little sisters.

It seems that the family is not short of money?
Brother Kaiwu’s move was much faster than their performance!
