“Xu Xiaoqing, Ma Anqin, Bao Lidong ……”
Ji Feng looked at the list in his hand and turned his head to look at Han Zhong, “These are all researchers?”
Han Zhong said, “I should say, these are all very strong technicians, from material science to biological science and so on, there are a total of forty-seven people on here, all of them were collected by people sent by the Ministry of Strategy during this period of time.”
He pointed to the list and said, “Take for example the one above, Xu Xiaoqing, this person is an a*sociate professor at Jinling University, but is only thirty-eight years old, has published several papers in second-rate foreign journals, and has himself made some achievements in applications, but has never been rated as a professor, I have read his published journal papers, although I can’t understand the terminology in them, but I can tell that some foreign experts are also interested in his research direction, yet he has been the second and in some cases third author of the papers.”
“Ostracised?”
Ji Feng couldn’t help but ask.
He asked this for a reason, since this Xu Xiaoqing was an a*sociate professor at the university, he should have the right to use the public labs, yet he was only listed as the second or third author, there were only two possibilities, either, he was using the lab of some cla*sroom leader, and this professor had to be listed as the first author, so Xu Xiaoqing would only be listed as the second author.
Either that, or the person was clearly being sidelined in the school.
Han Zhong said, “According to the information gathered by the strategy department, this Xu Xiaoqing should have some social problems, not good at socializing, and not valued by the leaders in the school, so he can get very few resources, and the public labs he can use are not much, so he can only borrow the labs of other professors, so he can only hang the second or third author. ”
Ji Feng laughed: “This is normal, if it’s a long-sleeved researcher, he won’t be able to do much achievement.”
Nowadays, the research culture is completely different from the past, with the development of the country’s economy, countless scholars and technicians have received several times or even a dozen times better treatment than a decade or two ago, there used to be a saying that those who worked on the atomic bomb were not as good as those who sold tea-leaf eggs.
But now, those academicians and other scholars, not to mention those who are slightly inferior, are still able to receive a frightening amount of research funding every year.
However, with the increase in remuneration, the research culture has now become bad. A portion of the funding is deducted first, 10% or 20% for the better ones, 30% or 40% for the common ones, and even 60% or 70% for those involved in academic corruption bai.
If you think about it, for example, hundreds of millions of dollars of financial allocations, before any research has been done, up first let the laboratory leaders to deduct half, or even more, the following people if they are good at fawning over the boss, or can also follow the soup, then how much can really be used to do research funding, how much can there be?
And research is one of the most expensive industries, sometimes hundreds of millions of dollars are invested in, but it is not even a splash that is very normal.
But if a research result comes out, the first name to hang is the boss of the lab …… Nowadays, no matter if it is a professor or what, all are habitually called boss by the people below.
The technology of this line, but the flooding of the waterlogging death, drought, some people do not do anything but get funds to get soft, some technical personnel have real material all day tired as a dog, but only get a little poor wages, even if the research results, the first author is not him, the patent does not even belong to him.
Often, a researcher can produce a few results in his lifetime, which is already very impressive, so you can imagine how bad the academic culture is now.
In particular, some professors do too much, so that the a*sociate professors below them, PhD students, postgraduates and the like, can’t even have soup, and those who really have the strength to produce results are also envied and hated in all kinds of ways, and are naturally ostracised.
In China, there are definitely not a few such people.
One of the most famous examples is the female scholar who successfully extracted cyanotoxin a few years ago. When she won an international scientific research award second only to the Nobel Prize, people abroad did not say anything, but many people at home began to gossip.
In particular, some people in the unit system where the female scholar worked said in a strange way that it was not her work alone to produce such a scientific research result, but the joint effort of all of us, so why should she be the only one to win?
Others said that she had used the unit’s laboratory instruments to produce such results and that the results should belong to the unit ……
And so on and so forth.
The list goes on and on.
You can imagine how many people in China who are really capable but can’t make a name for themselves are buried.
This is why Ji Feng ordered the Strategy Department to collect information on such technical talents who have emerged but are being suppressed and ostracized, and who have potential and are needed by the Tengfei Group.
It didn’t take long for the Strategy Department to gather such a list and hand it over to Han Zhong.
“These people should be taken seriously, Han Zhong, if possible, it’s best to have the senior management go directly to them and invite them!” Ji Feng said, “If it’s necessary, it’s absolutely fine for me to invite them!”
“Mm.”
Han Zhong nodded and said, “I understand, the arrival of these people will definitely be able to greatly alleviate the shortage of lab talents in the group, I’ve decided to cla*sify them according to their specialties, and those ranked in the first echelon, I’ll personally go and invite them.”
As the Group’s general manager, Han Zhong was of course very clear about the importance of these scientific researchers to the Tengfei Group.
Perhaps technically, the Tengfei Group did not need them to provide any new technology right now, but their arrival would not only inject fresh blood into the Tengfei Group, but more importantly, it would keep the Tengfei Group’s talent from breaking down, and, with their deep foundation, these people could quickly absorb and digest those technologies provided by Ji Feng.
This is the most important thing.
The technology provided by Ji Feng, together with the brains and scientific research strength of these people, would definitely bring the overall technical strength of the Tengfei Group to a higher level.
It could be said that technology was the foundation of everything, and no amount of importance could be attached to it!
“Sort it out and extend an invitation to them!” Ji Feng said, “To give them the best treatment, as long as their demands are not excessive, we can meet them all, talent, more important than anything else.”
“It’s still not too easy.”
Han Zhong shook his head and said, “After all, No. 1 Island is a bit too remote, although the transportation is now convenient, but after all, the current situation, no one knows when the war will break out, those people are afraid that they don’t want to come to No. 1 Island too much.”
Ji Feng said, “Then let them go to Jiangzhou. Housing, cars, nannies, anything can be negotiated, in a word, as long as they are willing to come, we are not short of money!”
Han Zhong was instantly happy, “With your words, then I’ll let it go, with such conditions, I’m sure there will be many people who will be moved!”
“It’s not enough to be moved, we have to create conditions that will make them hate to rush to join the Tengfei Group!” Ji Feng’s face wore a confident smile, “For example, if there are researchers with their families, we can also find ways to arrange for their families to work, and for those who have children, the schools under the Tengfei Group will give priority to enrolling their children.”
“Not only them, but also the senior management of the Tengfei Group, the middle management, all have to be included, and this coverage has to be continuously expanded, and hopefully after a short period of time, including the most junior staff, they will all be able to enjoy the benefits of having their children enrolled in school.”
Han Zhong said, “These are already being done now, just not refined, when you say so, I think it is necessary to make a clear regulation out and be sustainable.”
Ji Feng said, “Don’t be afraid to spend money, these people are the foundation of the Tengfei Group, with them, the Tengfei Group can really take off. Han Zhong, just wait and see, you don’t even have to wait for the next generation, just our generation, we can build the Tengfei Group into the most powerful group of companies in the world.”
“Good!”
Han Zhong couldn’t help but feel his blood boiling as he listened, “I look forward to it!”
……
With Ji Feng and Han Zhong’s agreement, some of the listed policies were sent down to the comprehensive department and forwarded to every manager’s hands, although it was still just a questionnaire, it gave people a glimpse of a bright future and hope, and for a while, the whole group was abuzz.
Because, many of the policies on the questionnaire are closely related to them.
For example, there were questions such as.
“If a school owned by the Group chooses to give priority to the children of its employees, would you be willing to let your children go to school here?”
“Where would you like to settle if housing (from single flats to villa residences) is distributed according to rank and contribution?”
……
“Do you think that the current promotion system of the Group is reasonable?”
“Do you think the staff training currently provided by the Group needs to be enhanced?”
The survey questions on a page full of printed paper made all the employees couldn’t help but feel stirred up and longing.
And at this time, while Han Zhong was waiting for the survey questionnaires to be returned to tally the results, he was not idle. According to Ji Feng’s orders, he had already started to strike out in all directions to dig up those technicians who were suppressed but had real talent.
……
It is a good idea to have a good look at the website.
But most importantly, he was not good at socialising, let alone making friends with leaders and running for funds, so he could only use the school’s public labs during the week, and there was a time limit and a funding limit.
But even so, Xu Xiaocheng did not give up his research work and stayed at the school without fear.
This morning, after his usual morning run, Xu Xiaoqing went home to make breakfast for his wife, but she complained a lot.
“Sister Xu from the unit has arranged for his son to study abroad, and after the New Year his son is going to study in Rice.” The wife said, “Tingting will be taking high school exams next year, I’m thinking, should I let her go abroad too?”
“It’s not a good idea to go abroad, the education in China isn’t too bad now.” Xu Xiaoqing said.
“Yes, it’s true that there’s nothing good about people like you. When people come back from abroad, whether they’re in universities or enterprises, many of them are already leading research projects, but you’re still teaching honestly with your textbooks, and you have to look at the leaders even to do an experiment!”
My wife complained, “You’ve come back from one of the world’s most prestigious universities, but you’ve never made a name for yourself, and every time I go back to my family’s dinner in the Spring Festival, the other siblings ask about you, and I don’t know what to say.”
Xu Xiaoqing sighed lightly, “I’m sorry for your loss. But scientific research is not something that can be rushed, it takes time.”
He knew that he was unattractive and that his wife had followed him and had not lived a very prosperous life, but could only be considered well-off, so he was indeed aggrieved.
“Research does take time, I understand that, but do you have the opportunity to do it?” The wife grunted, “There are better opportunities, but you don’t go, so you have to earn some hard money here and look at people’s faces. Even if you are allowed to lead graduate students, yet you are not given projects to do, you don’t run yourself, and the graduate students under you don’t respect you, what’s the point of this job!”
She knew that her husband was talented and there were many companies that had made offers to him, yet, he did not say yes to any of them.
“The corporate labs are not bad either, but there is too much academic fakery and false propaganda, and they have no bottom line in order to sell products, this is not where I want to go.” Xu Xiaoqing said.
“Then what place do you want to go to? The Academy of Science? People only want you!” The wife grunted.
“Ding ring ……”
Suddenly, the mobile phone on the table rang and his wife frowned, “It’s early in the morning, it’s not your leader calling again to ask you to help with the work, is it?”
Xu Xiaoqing looked at the phone and shook his head, “No, it’s an unfamiliar number, from Jiangzhou.”
Saying that, he picked up the phone, “Hello, hello, who is it?”
“Is this Professor Xu, please?” On the phone was a man’s voice that seemed polite.
“I’m Xu Xiaoqing, who is this?” Xu Xiaoqing asked politely as well.
“Oh, let me introduce myself, I am the general manager of Jiangzhou Tengfei Group, Han Zhong, there are some work matters I would like to talk to you about, I wonder if it is convenient for Professor Xu?”
“Tengfei Group?”
Xu Xiaoqing froze for a moment and then responded, “The Tengfei Group in Jiangzhou? The one that made the new chrome alloy?”
Han Zhong smiled, “Yes, it’s our company, Professor Xu, can we talk face to face?”
“Of course!”
Xu Xiaoqing immediately nodded, “I’m very interested in your company’s new chrome alloy and have done research on it ……”
His wife couldn’t help but stare at him as she listened next to him, she also heard about Jiangzhou Tengfei Group, a look of surprise flashed across her face, it was obvious that this was someone’s interest in her husband, but Xu Xiaoqing, this dumba*s, was only interested in other people’s products.
Xu Xiaoqing also saw his wife’s gaze and was a little embarra*sed, he quickly said, “That …… how do we meet?”
Han Zhong said, “I’m in Jinling right now, if it’s convenient for you, I’ll go visit you directly.”
“Convenient convenient!”
Xu Xiaoqing said hurriedly.
