Chapter 288: Young People's Battlefield (Requesting Subscription)

When Fang Ziye was about to pass Yuan Weihong, Yuan Weihong stopped him midway: "Ziye, do not be confused by temporary rise and fall, nor be overjoyed by temporary success."

"In terms of clinical work, your seniority is indeed still shallow at present, and there are many things you cannot decide on your own."

"But you should also know that the reason for such arrangements and regulations is that most people at your age have the heart to practice medicine to save the world, but lack the ability to do so."

"This difference is very important, because such a gap, if not controlled, can be compared to some loud-mouthed holy mother bitches in reality."

After explaining this, Yuan Weihong looked Fang Ziye up and down again to observe his expression changes, and finally rubbed his Mediterranean again: "Moreover, what reaches its peak must decline; what you see may not be the most core thing."

"Teacher Deng is not as incapable as you imagine; if he were incapable, he would not have reached his previous position."

"Or in other words, if you set aside Teacher Deng's identity and my identity as your master to look at us two as individuals, we are not soft bones that others can bully."

"It is not that kind of person, but if such a thing happens, you must learn well and watch well."

"Understand clearly the center where you can develop now."

"The most critical point is that while scientific research has no national borders, it also has no age limits; on the contrary, the main force of scientific research at every time is young people."

After hearing Yuan Weihong say this, Fang Ziye instead breathed a sigh of relief, and then did not go home immediately, but followed Yuan Weihong for a distance toward the parking lot.

Today was New Year's Eve; Yuan Weihong did not use an electric scooter to go out, but drove out his BMW.

"Master, when I was abroad, I heard that our small research group's laboratory had been given away; what is going on?" Fang Ziye asked further.

Indeed, regarding clinical matters, Fang Ziye's seniority is still shallow at present, and he cannot interfere.

Even if an associate professor disses Fang Ziye, with such a huge gap in professional titles, even if Fang Ziye has ten thousand reasons, he might not be able to make sense of it in public; he can only agree to his face, then turn around and still do as he pleases.

But scientific research in the research group is different.

Fang Ziye had calculated very seriously that his research group's research achievements, not to mention ranking in the top three of the whole hospital, ranking in the top ten was absolutely no problem.

Under such fruitful achievements, the hospital actually took away Teacher Deng's laboratory; isn't this pulling a calf?

With output, they still want to demolish the bridge after crossing the river?

Yuan Weihong wanted Fang Ziye to pay more attention to research output, but the two major prerequisites for research output are money and a place for experiments.

Yuan Weihong said after hearing this: "It's fine; this kind of thing, however others take it away, will eventually be spit out, and even more will be spit out."

"You actually don't feel that our research group's laboratory is actually a bit small now?"

"Moreover, every February, that is, after the New Year, is the best time for various large research groups to strive for benefits within the hospital for their teams."

"There is a saying called first give then take."

After Yuan Weihong explained this, seeing that Fang Ziye's expression was still a bit vague and confused, Yuan Weihong continued to explain: "Let me put it this way."

"When Teacher Deng was forced to give up the laboratory as you understood, our research group's achievements were actually not fruitful, but under such circumstances, we had already followed the rules and acted based on achievements."

"Then in this year's major reshuffle, we can better vent our temper and move into a better shell."

Hearing this, Fang Ziye understood.

So it turns out Teacher Deng had been thinking about playing chess long ago.

But Fang Ziye felt the logic still did not make sense: "Master, you said that February and March are the season for the major reshuffle, so why could Teacher Deng give up the laboratory in September?"

Yuan Weihong instead asked back: "How do you know that Teacher Deng was not asked to leave the laboratory in February and March last year?"

Yuan Weihong knew that last year Teacher Deng had been heavily impacted once; if it were not for Fang Ziye donating a lot of workload to the research group at that time, otherwise Teacher Deng's laboratory might really have gone wrong.

Fang Ziye became thoughtful on the spot.

After seeing off Yuan Weihong and returning to the house where Luo Tingzhu rented again, Fang Ziye told Luo Tingzhu about this matter; Luo Tingzhu, who was originally watching the Spring Festival Gala, only tilted her head slightly.

Then she crucially said Teacher Deng's plan: "The teacher is playing the pig to eat the tiger to create an absolute information gap?"

"I estimate that the large department that took away the teacher's laboratory will regret it to the point of turning their intestines green after knowing our research group's annual research achievements this year."

Fang Ziye realized that Luo Tingzhu's understanding of this aspect might be a bit more than his.

He asked: "What does this mean?"

Luo Tingzhu thought seriously for a moment, then said: "Hmm, our Orthopedics Department is actually not considered a strong discipline in scientific research in the whole hospital, so many related resource divisions rarely participate in normal times, and teachers and other professors rarely mention these matters."

"But actually, when you went to the Experimental Building, you would know that some disciplines have several floors of experimental floors belonging to them, while some disciplines have only one floor, or even half a floor, or even not even half a floor."

"For example, the Breast and Thyroid Surgery, which is currently very in-depth in tumor research, is a subspecialty where basic research is very difficult to carry out, and treatment methods and even targeted therapy drugs are very mature."

"However, actually in Internal Medicine, such as Cardiology and Nephrology and many other internal medicine disciplines, including the Infection Department, the proportion of public resources occupied by each discipline is actually positively correlated with the research output of each discipline."

"The total cake is limited; wanting to expand is definitely impossible. Zhongnan Hospital is located in a very awkward position; the surrounding communities are old, but they simply cannot afford to acquire them."

"So, if you want more resources, you must have more output; this is a kind of competition mechanism..."

"For example..." Luo Tingzhu gave several examples, for example, the Cardiology Department, which has the strongest research in the hospital's internal medicine, the research resources it occupies and the research funds allocated to it are not what the Orthopedics Department can routinely imagine.

But it must be understood that many internal medicine doctors, after finishing rounds and writing medical records, need to consider research; it does not take very long, and they do not even have to perform surgery as the mainstay of surgical treatment.

"Such a mechanism, is it not all positive feedback or all negative feedback?" Fang Ziye immediately understood the ins and outs.

A team's research output is definitely directly proportional to the corresponding resources and the size of the team.

But Luo Tingzhu only talked about the gap in research output between disciplines, without explaining the ratio between resource proportion and research output.

In this way, strong teams will only become stronger, while weak teams will only become weaker.

Strong teams have good teachers, more funding, can attract students with better talent to study, and can make talents, even top talents, continue to emerge!

Under such circumstances, for an ordinary discipline, how can you compete?

"But real research is like this; there is no so-called fairness. Different countries and different teams around the world simply cannot stand on the same starting line."

"Robbing the rich to help the poor absolutely does not exist in the field of research!" Luo Tingzhu explained like this.

Luo Tingzhu's IQ is actually not stupid; if she wants to analyze, ordinary people are not as capable as her.

Of course, Luo Tingzhu occasionally acts silly, but that kind of silliness is just a certain deficiency produced by being a young girl, not really being very stupid.

Fang Ziye nodded.

"So speaking, actually in terms of research competition, there is no so-called good or bad distinction; everyone just adopts different means."

"Others want to compete, so they saw Teacher Deng's loophole and took advantage of the situation to enter."

"Of course, if Master wants to fight for it, he has to give first and take later, because our Orthopedics Department is, after all, a weak discipline, but when we start to become strong and want to snatch things from others, we have to suffer some grievances first."

"In that case, our funding this year and the data for our experiments will be a bit more, right?" Fang Ziye analyzed it this way.

The means Deng Yong adopted were not particularly honorable.

Luo Tingzhu also heard Fang Ziye's meaning, turned down the boring Spring Festival Gala volume a little, tilted her head and explained: "But Teacher's health wasn't good to begin with, and he still has to hold up our team, so he has to think of a way."

"As long as there is no special damage to others' interests, no framing of others, and the means adopted are those everyone tacitly accepts, then it is actually open and aboveboard."

"Moreover, actually at Teacher's level, the competition between each other is not simple, not purely a competition between individual strength and individual qualification, but a comprehensive competition between the number of teams and the quality of team members' qualifications."

"It is a competition between the total amount of resources each team possesses and the conversion efficiency between resources and research workload."

"Actually, ever since I came to Teacher's place, I've seen quite a lot of Teacher's hardships, and I increasingly understand the reason why many Internal Medicine professors used to hope to recruit a few more students with good qualifications."

"One student cannot determine the overall situation, but ten students, twenty, might be able to influence or even reverse the team's predicament."

Fang Ziye agreed with Luo Tingzhu's view, but Fang Ziye also had to give Luo Tingzhu some admonitions: "Nuonuo, but there is a difference between large teams and small teams."

"And there is definitely a difference."

"Moreover, small cliques will also gradually form inside small teams, and there is definitely a difference there too."

This is not some lesson from Fang Ziye's experience, but a kind of realization of his.

Everyone's experience is limited.

For example, currently both being first-year doctoral students, Fang Ziye and Li Yuanpei are both Teacher Deng's students; does Yuan Weihong have a difference in attitude toward the two?

There is.

Does Teacher Deng have a difference in attitude toward the two?

There is.

Do many senior brothers have a difference in attitude toward the two?

There is!

Similarly, Fang Ziye's attitude toward everyone also has differences.

Yuan Weihong is slightly greater than Deng Yong; the two are the first echelon.

Then it is Luo Tingzhu > Lan Tianluo ≈ Jie Han > Yuan Weihong's direct disciple > other fellow disciples in Deng Yong's team > fellow disciples in the department or other superior teachers.

When Luo Tingzhu was being thoughtful, Fang Ziye then said: "Before Senior Brother Sun Shaoqing, there were still two senior brothers!"

"When I was in my first year of Master's, I encountered Peng Shixiong who was then in his third year of Doctorate. But between me and Peng Shixiong, there was basically no contact."

"After Peng Shixiong, there was another Senior Brother Lin Xuanlei. This Lin Shixiong was the one who taught me more. Later, it was only after Lin Xuanlei Shixiong was near graduation that Senior Brother Sun brought me along."

"Of course, Lin Xuanlei Shixiong and Sun Shaoqing Shixiong were the same, both graduating in January of the following year. He also couldn't stay at the hospital at that time……"

After listening seriously, Luo Tingzhu did not answer Fang Ziye's words, and did not even continue Fang Ziye's topic.

Instead she said: "Senior Brother, if you are graduating this year, you still cannot apply for projects with a doctoral identity. Even municipal-level projects cannot be applied for."

"Of course, I can't apply for school-level projects anymore either; I can only apply for municipal level one and provincial level one projects……"

Luo Tingzhu brought the topic back to the most original place.

Young people are actually the main battlefield between teams' competition.

Of course, on the main battlefield, no matter how large the base you occupy, what you ultimately still need is provisions.

The main source of provisions is research grant funding.

Large research funds Luo Tingzhu has no way to get, but?

Luo Tingzhu has a secret: that is Lan Tianluo currently has a chance to get higher-level project funds. Lan Tianluo's meaning is to use Luo Tingzhu's name to try to apply for a National Natural Science Foundation Youth Fund……

This is generally very difficult, but it is also an opportunity.

And once such difficulty is basically completed, it becomes the greatest competitiveness for staying at the hospital.

"Mm, I should be unable to apply for projects, so Master and fellow trainees still have to fight, otherwise it will affect my graduation."

"But precisely because I'm graduating early, Master and fellow trainees, even Teacher Deng, all have to bear quite a bit more pressure."

"This is the price of breaking the rules."

"At first what Master told me was right. Whether it's the pros and cons of breaking rules, actually breaking rules cannot save energy, it can only save time."

"And the premise of saving time is that you need to compress all the workload and pressure that needs to be completed into a finite number of times." Fang Ziye said this and lightly sighed.

Although he himself can apply for early graduation, similarly, he also used quite a lot of money from the large research group. And he hasn't earned any above-board research funding for the research group yet.

Hearing Fang Ziye say this, Luo Tingzhu had no pressure at all, but instead turned the TV volume up a few notches again.

Then she said: "Senior Brother, if money could make Teacher get the Outstanding Youth Fund support, get several million in research funding rewards, I believe the number of people in the hospital willing to pay this money is not four or five hundred, but at least one or two hundred."

"The Outstanding Youth Fund review isn't something that simple resource accumulation and workload compression can complete, oh."

Luo Tingzhu isn't comforting Fang Ziye, but wants Fang Ziye to recognize his own importance, to know his extraordinary combat power.

After all, for a long period of time afterward, Fang Ziye may still be needed as the most main output to cause certain output benefits to other disciplines in the hospital, to brother departments in other brother hospitals in Han City, and to Trauma Surgery in other top-tier hospitals in Eastern Han.
