"Hmm."

He Jinsheng nodded vigorously.

After chatting with He Jinsheng for a while, Zhao Yi went to inquire about the extraction of testing proteins; the laboratory had been researching the extraction of usable testing proteins from the bodies of bats.

This research had consumed a large amount of funding, but it received full support from the institute, with direct funding reaching tens of millions of Chinese yuan.

Zhao Yi had also given Zhang Wei the authority to make use of the lab’s petty cash.

With reluctance, Zhang Wei took out ten million yuan in funds and complained to Yan Xuelin for a long time, "This is our laboratory’s money, which has been saved up for a very, very long time."

"Now it’s just taken out all at once and it’s gone, Director Yan, you must record this. If our research is successful, on the patent rights..."

"No problem!"

Yan Xuelin said, "Don’t worry, the institute wouldn’t shortchange you. I’ll definitely record the issue of research funds being used, and later, distribution will be based on the investment and development contributions."

Zhang Wei was still confident about this.

Zhao Yi was the institute’s leading scientist, and even Yan Xuelin had to step aside in Zhao Yi’s presence; Yan Xuelin certainly couldn’t shortchange Zhao Yi’s laboratory’s funds. In fact, he had to keep providing financial support.

On the issue of financial support, Yan Xuelin also felt quite frustrated.

So now, he was very straightforward about it.

Yan Xuelin had always known that Zhao Yi’s laboratory was wealthy, but he didn’t know exactly how much they had; he hadn’t expected the amount to reach as much as tens of millions.

"Now Zhao Yi’s laboratory’s funds are nearly spent, right?"

"The lab has almost more money than the institute, and yet the institute keeps looking after them..."

"Sigh!"

"Anyway, the laboratory funds cannot exceed the institute’s!"

"Now that’s settled..."

A sense of newfound confidence grew inside Yan Xuelin, feeling that the institute’s financial dominance over Zhao Yi’s laboratory reaffirmed its authority—and naturally, his own as the director.

Meanwhile.

Zhang Wei was in pain over withdrawing millions from the lab’s funds.

Although the money belonged to the lab, she was responsible for managing the funds, and watching the lab’s finances gradually increase had delighted her. But suddenly having to take out so much money felt extremely painful.

"That’s a fifth of our funds!"

"Director Yan is too stingy, only offering ten million in support and still needing the lab’s money..."

"I hope the research goes smoothly and, at the very least, we earn the money back!"

Zhang Wei thought resolutely.

Under this firm mindset, the researchers of Zhao Yi’s laboratory also devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the research work on the extraction of bat body proteins similar to the detection proteins.

After more than two months of research, their efforts were rewarded.

Although they had not discovered a simple extraction method, they succeeded in extracting a detection protein with similar efficacy. Not only was the effect similar but it was also very high-performing; at the very least, the lab equipment data analysis and experimental analysis indicated it could replace the original detection protein and, theoretically, could even be better.

The success occurred a week earlier. After Zhao Yi arrived at the laboratory, he learned about the successful outcome, but there was still one problem with the research— freёweɓnovel.com

Testing was needed!

Whether or not the detection protein from bat bodies had similar efficacy was only theoretically proven; it had to be tested on humans to be certain, but of course, human testing could not be the first step.

Zhao Yi asked, "So you’re saying that you need to apply to conduct animal experiments?"

"And will you need volunteers afterwards?"

"Right!"

Ai Lixin confirmed, "Our testing data are solid. The experiments need to be done step by step, and the relevant experiments need to be applied for."

Zhao Yi nodded understandingly.

Since the research was conducted internally within the lab and not made public, applying for human trials was quite difficult.

"Leave that to me," Zhao Yi said, then praised them. "The results of your research are remarkable; I didn’t expect you to have already succeeded. If it can be confirmed that it can replace human testing proteins, then the next step is to improve the extraction technique."

Zhao Yi indeed felt very reassured.

In the past, he had led most of the research himself. Now, having only provided a direction, the lab had produced results in just two months, which also represented an advancement in the lab’s research and development capabilities.

Zhang Wei then brought up the issue of research funding.

Zhao Yi patted his chest and said, "Money is not a problem. Just focus on the research; the lab’s funds can be used. Didn’t Director Yan say that patent rights would be distributed based on capital contribution? Then there’s no need to go to the institute."

"Here’s what we’ll do: I’ll personally invest fifty million to support this research. Whatever it is, use the best, most efficient option; don’t worry about the investment in R&D."

The researchers looked at each other after hearing this and then realized there was no need to worry about funding for development at all.

Zhao Yi...

Was indeed a top-tier tycoon!
