From university academician to chief academician

Soon, CHO came to the chairman's office.

Ali's CHO is a middle-aged woman who looks very capable, her name is Ji Mingjing.

After Ma Dong explained the situation, Ji Mingjing said in shock: "Poaching Ye Fei?"

"What?" Ma Dong asked doubtfully, "Is there a problem?"

Ji Mingjing smiled bitterly and said: "Dr. Ma, I have also paid attention to Ye Fei, but he is not easy to poach. More than a year ago, Heidrick \u0026 Struggles, one of the top five international headhunting companies, went to poach him, but failed."

As Alibaba's CHO, he always pays attention to the trends of international talents and top international headhunting companies.

Ye Fei is a young mathematical genius who has emerged in Xia State in recent years and has attracted the attention of many companies, universities and research institutes.

Especially after he proved the ABC conjecture, he attracted even more attention.

"Heidrick and Struggles didn't even dig him out?" Ma Dong said in disbelief: "Is he so difficult to dig out? For what reason, did Heidrick and Struggles say anything?"

"I also inquired about it afterwards, and there were many reasons." Ji Mingjing said: "First, Ye Fei did not want to leave Zhonghu University, and second, he wanted to poach Ye Fei's company, and the price offered was relatively low. Heidrick and Struggles did not sell Ye Fei to Zhonghu University. Fei's recruitment difficulty has been raised to level seven or above, and is only set at level six."

Every talent search is difficult. The stronger the ability and the higher the position, the higher the difficulty.

All headhunting companies divide talent recruitment into ten levels based on price.

Level one is the least difficult and level ten is the most difficult.

At different levels, the headhunter title is higher.

A high professional title represents strong headhunting ability.

Levels one to three are consultants, levels four to six are senior consultants, level seven are project managers, level eight are senior consultants, level nine are chief consultants, and level ten are company bosses. .

Level seven and above are international high-end talents. They are not recruited by world-class headhunting companies and cannot be recruited.

"Which company wants to poach him?" Ma Dong said funnyly: "The price is so low."

"A robotics company."

Ma Dong shook his head and said speechlessly: "It's really short-sighted. Talents like Ye Fei should be poached at a high price."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore and continue talking about Ye Fei."

"Ye Fei is very important to our company, especially his recent research. His coming to our company can greatly improve our company's security system."

"So, dig him with a talent level of p11."

Alibaba divides technical talents into fourteen levels, called P sequence, and management talents into ten levels, called M sequence.

p14 is a senior scientist and p11 is a senior researcher.

Because p10 is a researcher, equivalent to a junior researcher, and there is no mid-level researcher.

A senior researcher at p11 is equivalent to a mid-level researcher in the research institute.

Therefore, p11 is equivalent to the level of third-level professor.

Every p11 talent can be called a master in terms of technology. Geniuses are beyond the reach of ordinary people. They are leaders in various fields.

For talents who have reached P9 or M4 or above, annual salary and stock options can be negotiated.

P11 technical talents correspond to the M6 ​​vice president level, with an annual salary plus stock options, and an annual pre-tax income of at least tens of millions.

Although Ye Fei proved the ABC conjecture, it was just a theory. To Ali, he was equivalent to a potential stock with the potential of a top scientist.

But what Alibaba really needs is technical talents with practical capabilities.

Therefore, from a practical perspective, it is very reasonable to give Ye Fei p11 treatment.

Moreover, for many international giant companies, the annual salary for mathematicians who prove the world's difficult problems is about 5 million.

Even for Huawei, a Northern Russian math genius who had been raised for ten years helped Huawei upgrade from 2G to 3G, and paved the way for the subsequent emergence of 5G.

Huawei only supports him at five times higher than the market price, with an annual salary of tens of millions.

Therefore, whether it is in terms of market price or ability, it is very reasonable for Ye Fei to take the p11.

Ji Mingjing said in shock: "Dr. Ma, is he so important?"

p11 belongs to the core level of the company, so he felt that it was a bit high to poach Ye Fei with p11.

The company has poached talents like Ye Fei before.

For example, Professor Zhuang Jiahua, a computer professor at Zhejiang University, discovered the 52nd Mersenne prime number, proposed the generalized Riemann hypothesis, and is a senior expert in the field of artificial intelligence.

The robot he developed once went to Japan to participate in a competition and won fifth place.

You know, Japan's robotics technology is the strongest in the world.

Winning fifth place means that the robot he developed is very powerful.

His mathematical achievements are no worse than Ye Fei's, and he is even better than Ye Fei in the field of artificial intelligence.

Even for talents like him, the company only pays P10 to poach them.

But now I use p11 to dig Yefei.

Director Ma said: "Before you came, our company helped Academician Nan Guodong test the security system he recently developed. More than 20 programmers from our company's Damo Academy failed to break through this security system for about an hour."

"Especially the attack mechanism, which made our programmers very embarrassed."

"And this attack mechanism was created by Ye Fei."

"What?" Ji Mingjing said in surprise: "He is so powerful?"

Damo Academy is the department with the most Internet experts in Alibaba. Most of Alibaba’s top talents are concentrated in Damo Academy.

More than 20 programmers from Damo Academy spent an hour without breaking through the security system.

This system proves to be very powerful.

The offensive mechanism that can defeat the programmers of Damo Academy was created by Ye Fei.

It proves that Ye Fei's offensive mechanism in the security system is the best in the world.

In addition, Ye Fei proved the ABC conjecture, and his ability in the field of mathematics is also top-notch.

Mathematics, security systems, double top, Ye Fei is very important to any Internet company.

You know, security systems are an indispensable part of any Internet company.

Ji Mingjing said seriously: "Dr. Ma, Ye Fei is indeed worth poaching as a p11 talent. I will ask the top five international headhunting companies to poach him."

Director Ma said: "Don't make the mistake of that robot company by raising the price too high. Our company is not short of money, but it is short of people."

"As for talents, our company's strategy is to spend money to recruit as many talents as possible."

Talents above p9 are worthy of Ali using all means to poach them.

Of course, the premise is that the other party doesn't mention anything that far exceeds its own value.

"At the very least, let Ye Fei be classified as an eighth-level recruiter."

"Yes, Director Ma!"

Ma Dong said: "If you need me, I can take action."

Ma Dong can be said to be a master at poaching people.

He has poached many talents, including Ali and the Eighteen Arhats, all of whom were poached by Ma Dong.

He poaches people and advocates the concept.

Money, ideals, rights and humane service.

Each of these is difficult, but Ali tries his best to satisfy it.

"That's right." Director Ma said: "Ye Fei is currently working in a national laboratory. Please explain to the headhunting company that we can wait for him to complete this work before coming to our company."

"Okay, Director Ma."

After leaving Chairman Ma's office, Ji Mingjing began to contact Korn Ferry International, one of the top five international headhunting companies.

Considering that Heidrick and Struggles failed to recruit Ye Fei, she chose Korn Ferry.

Moreover, Alibaba and Korn Ferry International have also cooperated many times.

Of course, in companies like this, the rewards for poaching people are very high.

Among the top five international headhunting companies, except for Egon Zehnder, the salary is fixed at US$100,000.

The remaining four companies all charge one-third of the recruiter's annual salary.

Talents like Ye Fei, because Alibaba has designated him as p11, have an annual salary of 3 million. Options are dividend income and are not included in the annual salary.

Therefore, the reward for poaching him is one million, which is $147,400.

The Bund, the magical city, Xia Branch of Korn Ferry International!

CEO's office!

Ma Long heard the assistant's report and said, "Ye Fei?"

He opened the human resources database and found Ye Fei's information.

He said in astonishment: "I didn't expect this person to be poached by Heidrick and Struggles."

"Huh?" He suddenly frowned: "This guy Heidrick and Struggles is only poaching at Level 6. Why is Ali's bid so high?"

He shook his head and said: "Forget it, since Ali's bid is so high, we will follow the rules."

He said to the assistant in front of him: "Fetch Manager Ji."

Those at level eight are senior consultants. In the Xia Guo branch, the person with the highest professional title is naturally the branch president. He is the chief consultant, which corresponds to level nine.

There are five groups under him, and the leaders of each group are senior consultants.

Manager Ji's name is Ji Yunda. He is the leader of the third team. He is 42 years old and a senior headhunting consultant.

But he also has another identity: he graduated with a master's degree in administration from Zhonghu University.

Therefore, he and Ye Fei are brothers.

Because of this, he was ready to let Ji Yunda take over the job.

"OK."

After the assistant finished speaking, he opened the door and went out.

Soon, she found Ji Yunda.

"Manager Ji!" Ma Long said, "Sit down!"

After Ji Yunda sat down, Ma Long placed a piece of information in front of him and said, "Look at this information, I'm going to send you to dig him out."

"Ye Fei?" As soon as Ji Yunda saw the information, he looked up at Ma Long in shock.

"Well!" Ma Long said, "Is there any problem?"

Ji Yunda shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I also know Ye Fei, but he is really difficult to dig."

"Since he started his Ph.D., there have been many companies trying to poach him."

"But no company has succeeded so far."

"Heidrick \u0026 Struggles even tried to poach him, but they didn't succeed."

"Of course, when Heidrick and Struggles poached him, it was because the company that wanted to poach him offered him a low price. Heidrick and Struggles just asked a senior consultant with average ability to poach him, so the poaching failed."

Senior consultants with the same professional title also have strong or weak abilities.

The senior consultant who recruited Ye Fei at that time was only of average ability among the many senior consultants at Heidrick \u0026 Struggles.

“But I believe that even if we paid a higher price to dig it out at that time, it would be difficult to succeed.”

"I heard that Ye Fei is very nostalgic. He likes to stay at Zhonghu University teaching and doing research, and he doesn't go anywhere else."

“He will only take action unless the country asks him to do so, or he will take action only when certain domestic technologies encounter difficulties.”

"It's difficult for ordinary private companies to hire him."

"Of course I know that." Ma Long said, "But please read carefully. It's not easy to poach his company this time."

Ji Yunda heard this and continued reading.

"Huh?" He said in surprise: "Ali?"

"Ali wants to poach him? And he's going to be treated like p11?"

"I'll go..." He exclaimed: "That's awesome. With an annual salary of p11 and stock options, the annual income must be at least tens of millions!"

He said in shock: "It's amazing. As long as I join the job, my annual salary will catch up with my entire net worth."

Ji Yunda made no secret of his envy.

He also graduated from Zhonghu University and is now forty-two years old.

Ye Fei is only twenty-five years old, but Ye Fei's net worth has already caught up with him.

In the same school, the development of the two people is very different.

This has to be said to be very heartbreaking.

He asked in confusion: "Why did Ali offer such a high price to poach him? What did he do?"

"He just proved the ABC conjecture!"

"Even if he proves the ABC conjecture, although it will be of great use to Ali, it still does not reach the p11 level!"

"Mr. Ma!" He looked up at Ma Long and asked, "Do you know what's going on?"

Ma Long shook his head and said, "I don't know, and Ali didn't reveal any information."

"But Ali is the employer, and we just need to follow the rules."

"This is a big piece of fat. If you dig it successfully, you will get one million."

"Yes!" Ji Yunda nodded, and then he quickly read all the information.

"How's it going?" Ma Long asked, "Are you confident about what's next?"

Ji Yunda said: "Headhunters never say it is 100% successful, but I can give it a try. I also have some connections at Zhonghu University. With my connections, I believe the success rate will be higher."

"Yeah!" Ma Long nodded: "That's why I'm looking for you. I hope you can succeed."

Ji Yunda said: "I will try my best."

Soon, he left Malone's office and began to contact Zhonghu University.

Zhonghu University, Institute of Intelligent Information Processing and Applied Mathematics!

Dong Siyuan walked to the sofa in the rest area of ​​the institute and sat down, then took out his phone and dialed, smiling: "Senior Ji, I was just doing experiments in the institute, so I didn't answer your call immediately."

"are you looking for me?"

When Ye Fei was still studying for his Ph.D., Dong Siyuan took Ye Fei to the International Forum for Young Scientists.

After that, the two kept in touch and often bumped into each other in school.

Dong Siyuan is a student of Teacher Ye Fei and Professor Liu Yisheng, Lu Yishan’s friend.

After graduation, he stayed in school and became an intern researcher at Zhonghu University. After several years of struggle, he was promoted to assistant researcher last month.

Ji Yunda and Dong Siyuan met during the school anniversary. Since then, the two have been in contact and occasionally contact each other.

Ji Yunda said: "Dong Siyuan, I heard that you were promoted to assistant researcher last month. Congratulations!"

Dong Siyuan chuckled and said: "What the heck, I worked hard for nearly ten years before I was promoted to assistant researcher."

Compared with Ye Fei, he was far behind.

Ye Fei is now a seventh-level associate professor, equivalent to a junior associate researcher, and his salary is similar to that of a full professor.

If it weren't for his junior qualifications, he would have been a full professor by now.

I heard that the school wants to apply to promote him to a fifth-level associate professor next year.

Raising two levels in one year and skipping one level in the middle is a very eye-catching operation among all the universities in Xia State.

Ji Yunda smiled and said: "Many people take more than ten years to be promoted to assistant researchers, so just be satisfied!"

"Are you still at Zhonghu University?"

"Yeah!" Dong Siyuan said.

"I'm going on a business trip to the sand dunes in the afternoon. Let's go out for dinner together in the evening!"

The meal was of course a fake, mainly because he wanted to get in touch with Ye Fei through Dong Siyuan.

"Okay!" Dong Siyuan said: "At seven o'clock in the evening, we will meet at the same place."

"good!"

After hanging up the phone, Ji Yunda summoned his team members to a small conference room for a meeting.

There are four people in his team, each of whom has a different type of work.

Four people plus team leader Ji Yunda make it five people.

One of them works as a selector.

Selection is to select the talents suitable for the position from among many talents and to dig out the available information from the numerous materials of the recruitment personnel.

One person works as a searcher.

Searching is to go to the recruiter's door to find out all the information about the recruiter through his friends, relatives and colleagues.

One person works as a collector.

The collection is through phone calls and the Internet, collecting information about job seekers.

One person works as Ji Yunda's assistant and collects all the information collected by the others to Ji Yunda.

The most important task of negotiating with recruiters is done by Ji Yunda.

Ji Yunda sat at the head of the table, looked at his team members, and said, "Mr. Ma just gave us a big order with a generous reward of one million."

Everyone looked surprised.

They haven't received orders worth one million for a long time.

Ji Yunda said: "But you should also know the difficulty of recruiting for such a large order. This is the information for the next recruitment personnel."

As he spoke, he opened the floor-standing thin-screen LCD screen in the corner, which displayed Ye Fei's basic information.

"Huh?" Someone said in surprise: "Team leader, this guy is from the same school as you!"

"Yes." Ji Yunda smiled and said: "So, the person we are recruiting this time has an inherent advantage for us. I have already contacted a friend of Ye Fei's. I will fly to the sand dunes tonight to find out information from him."

"You guys can collect all the information about Ye Fei for me at home."

"Yes, team leader!" everyone said with high spirits.

They feel that it is such a high reward.

The team leader has some relationship with Ye Fei, so I believe it will be easier to recruit Ye Fei.

But what they didn't expect was that the search lasted for more than a year and was only half successful in the end.

Of course, Ali also felt very lucky and gave the reward to Korn Ferry.

And, the reward is much more than a million.

After the meeting, Jiyunda flew to the dunes.

The team members also worked day and night to collect all Ye Fei's information and analyze Ye Fei's personality, character, abilities and living habits.

These are of great help for job hunting.
