The End of Technology

The next day, Xu Shuqing felt that something was not right as soon as he got up.

Because as soon as I turned on my phone in the morning, I discovered that I had received a lot of WeChat messages in the middle of the night yesterday, and they were all messages from many academic experts in the school. When he first read the news, he felt a little weird.

Many people directly approach the school to ask for policies, equipment, instruments, and people to request various scientific research subsidies.

It's just that some people are more polite when speaking, and some people are more direct.

Before asking for money, some people briefly talked about how important their projects were, which was considered as a foreshadowing. There was no direct foreshadowing, so they just said that they must be given, otherwise they would consider leaving...

leave? ! Where to go? !

Well, even if we leave aside where we want to go, the time choices of a group of people are too concentrated, right?

He was able to soothe them one by one, but now he felt something was not quite right.

And he was obviously not the only one who was troubled. There were also many secondary deans below, and the directors of the school laboratories also sent messages, saying that there were professors, researchers, and associate researchers under them who had made some claims that were obviously very unreasonable. requirements...

what? Did Mars hit the Earth last night?

It will be too late to catch up on the project without giving money?

You can imagine how Xu Shuqing felt when he saw these requests early in the morning.

Obviously this is extremely abnormal.

It is impossible for so many academicians to be on the wrong side at the same time and make such unreasonable demands.

Fortunately, Xu Shuqing got the answer soon.

Because there was a newly-minted academician on WeChat who studied at Shuangdan School of Physics for his undergraduate degree. He directly sent him an invitation letter from the Ningyuan Research Center of the National Sports University, and also attached a personal reflection.

"Principal Xu, you and I are close friends. We are both colleagues and friends. But as you have seen in this letter, the conditions offered by the other party are really superior. I don't care much about personal enjoyment, but a complete room without anyone is required." The conditions of shared laboratories, thirteen research funds matching national key projects, and the World Academic Exchange Conference that you can apply for at any time still deeply attracted me.

You should know that the high-temperature superconducting filter technology I am working on requires long-term capital investment and a lot of equipment support. I can understand the difficulties in school, but academics cannot wait for others. I am 52 years old this year, and even when I am studying new literature, I often feel low on energy. It is estimated that there are only a few years left in front-line research, so if the school cannot purchase the following equipment according to my requirements, I hope you can be more generous. Thank you Fan Wenzhe. "

Xu Shuqing read Ning Yuan's invitation letter carefully, and then it started to get messy...

Not to mention that there are not many schools in the world that dare to offer such a condition, let alone double-dancer!

Directly allocate 50 billion in special scientific research funds at one time?

Matching funds are capped at 100 million?

Also build a supporting laboratory with dedicated personnel in charge?

Let alone the academician, if he were not the president of Shuangdan University, he would be very excited.

Not to mention that Ningyuan has a strong background, equivalent to having two Fields Medal winners in mathematics and two Turing Award winners on its platform, so its appeal is unquestionable.

However, the next moment, Xu Shuqing's anger began to rise...

Xu Shuqing knew that the National Sports University was working hard to develop various natural disciplines. He had even considered the idea of ​​a double-dan university before, and some young lecturers were attracted by the other party's generous treatment.

After all, Shuangdan University is also implementing a promotion-or-leave policy. This kind of petty poaching did not attract his attention. It can also be said to be a normal and healthy talent flow mechanism, but the University suddenly made such a fuss. It's not kind.

The key is that Shuangdan University, not to mention keeping up with the salary listed here, even if it meets one-tenth of the requirements, Xu Shuqing can't do it!

Which university laboratory building has key instruments that are not for public use?

Should every laboratory have a set of equipment costing millions of dollars?

Huaqing Yanbei doesn't dare to play like this? !

And this time the other party obviously cast a wide net without mercy.

You must know that those who can send him direct messages are the leaders of various colleges in the school!

In addition, there are also various demands put forward by a group of young scholars that give a lot of headaches to deans and laboratory directors. What is this? This is really digging the roots!

Not to mention too much, the big guys in his WeChat have taken away less than half of it, and the research strength of Shuangdan University has dropped a lot. If a group of elites from teaching positions are expelled, what will be left in Shuangdan University?

So in the future, physical education majors will switch to natural studies, and double-dan den majors will focus on liberal arts colleges?

You can imagine how complicated and angry Xu Shuqing's mood was at this moment. Soon he thought of the phone call Ning Zi made to him last night, and he suddenly became angry. He immediately logged out of WeChat, called up the call history, found Ning Zi's number, and dialed it.

This is really unbearable.

However, after calling, it showed that the call was in progress.

Xu Shuqing calmed down, put down the phone, opened WeChat again, and continued to look at the messages he received last night in silence, thinking about how to comfort him. After about ten minutes, he dialed again, but it still showed that he was on a call. middle.

He suddenly had a bold but unbelievable conjecture in his mind...

After all, he has had the experience of being directly blacklisted. When he called the other party, he seemed to be on the phone all the time. And it's only around seven in the morning, how could the phone be so busy?

Then Xu Shuqing finally couldn't hold it any longer.

He probably understood why Ning Zi hung up the phone so easily yesterday.

Is this just a reason to poach people at Double Dan?

This is somewhat confusing. As we all know, there are two top universities in China right next to Yanbei University of Physical Education. These two schools have more big names and are more powerful. If the University of Physical Education wants to poach people, why not go to those two universities? Why do you need to have a double penis?

Is it just because that guy Xing Jianxin made some complaints on the Internet? As for?

Isn’t Hua Qing very difficult to deal with you? Why not just go dig Huaqing?

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong?

Xu Shuqing was right about this, and it was indeed the case. It is indeed easier to cause problems when recruiting people on this scale in Huaqing. After all, Hua Qing is his biological son. If the goal is changed to double dan, more people will be willing to be with Xini, and both parties have a good relationship, so no matter how they quarrel, they can be justified.

After calling Ning Ji for the fifth time and still getting a message that the call was ongoing, Xu Shuqing decisively found Chen Yonggang's number and called.

Ning Zi can be willful, but the president of the National Sports University cannot be willful. You still have to abide by the rules of the world. Throwing money at people like this will arouse public anger.

Fortunately, Chen Yonggang answered the phone quickly, which made Xu Shuqing feel a little better.

If Chen Yonggang didn't answer the phone, he would really book a ticket to the capital immediately and go directly to the superior department to invite Chen Yonggang to confront him about what they wanted to do.

"Hello, Principal Chen, my name is Xu Shuqing."

"Hey, Principal Xu, this is a surprise. I remember that we communicated at the last annual meeting of the University Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education Alliance held in Mingzhu. How can I not remember your number?"

"Oh, thank you very much for not forgetting things. It's an honor, an honor. But you'd better not worry about our double-dan university."

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Principal Chen, what do you mean by asking me? You are so big and powerful that you come directly to our school to recruit people in batches? Dozens of academicians sent me messages early in the morning, saying that they had received your invitation , I want to go to the Ningyuan Scientific Research Center of your sports university. Isn’t this a bit too much? The special fund of 50 billion to recruit people is a big deal! I admire it, I admire it! The university is so rich that it can’t be spent all. The superior department knows ?"

"What the hell? Fifty billion to poach people? Um...Ningyuan Scientific Research Center? No, is there any misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding? I even saw the poaching letter. You told me about the misunderstanding? It's stamped on it! You said about the misunderstanding. Ning Zi is always from your school, right? Conan Lamar is a teacher at your school. Job, right? And Professor Dominic Duncan is also a member of the University, right? Does the Ningyuan Scientific Research Center jointly established by the three of them still have nothing to do with the University?"

"Ahem, you might not believe this. I have no control over Ning Yuan's affairs! Of course, Ning Yuan is indeed on the campus of the National Sports University, but even the director of the garden was appointed by Ning Zi himself. I I don’t know what the letters you mentioned about poaching people are about, but I’m pretty sure the letter was signed to someone named Kim Jong-nam, right? To be honest, that guy turned out to be a Samsung executive, a Korean. You know Koreans? Yes, those are nothing. I guess he was using chicken feathers as arrows."

After hearing Chen Yonggang's words, Xu Shuqing's nose almost became angry.

Find a former Samsung executive as the director, and then put the blame on the Korean people? Does this make him worry about the other party being an international friend? What's even more annoying is that the principal said he has no control over the university's affairs...

"Principal Chen, are you not interested in this? Your sports university is currently engaged in the construction of natural science disciplines and is short of people. I can understand it. But you want to say that it is too much to directly empty out the entire Shuangdan University at once? Before Didn't your people come to our place to poach people? Did I say anything? But this time it's too much?"

"Um, Principal Xu, what you said is wrong. I told you that I don't know, I just don't know. Even if you ask me to tell the truth, I don't know. Take a step back and ask, why is Ningyuan poaching you? Are you worried about people who are double-dan students, or poaching people from Nanjing University, Shenzhen University, Jiangsu University, and China University of Science and Technology? I’m still holding back my anger, but I’m just too lazy to talk to you, and you’re so excited. So. Tell me, even if the person is recruited by us, what do you want to say?"

"Chen Yonggang, do you mean you are still reasonable? Can you eat such a big appetite?"

"What's wrong? We can spend money, and so can you. Isn't it good for healthy competition in the market to promote the flow of talents? Besides, it's just money. If it doesn't matter, why don't you spend more money to subsidize scientific researchers? Why don't people just stay? What's wrong? Do you, Xu Shuqing, think that our Chinese researchers and scientists don't deserve to live a more comfortable life? Why can't we contribute to science? "

"you……"

"What are you? That's it, goodbye."

Xu Shuqing held the phone and listened to the busy tone coming from inside, feeling confused again.

After a long while, I finally couldn't bear it anymore, so I picked up the phone and dialed again: "Xiao He, let me know, there is an impromptu principal's office meeting at ten o'clock this morning. Everyone except those who are not in the school must attend!"

Yes, Xu Shuqing decided to go to the capital, but before going, he had to find out what was going on internally.

…

After Chen Yonggang hung up the phone, he was not as relaxed as Xu Shuqing thought.

After some hesitation, he called Ning Zi directly.

He really didn't know that Ningyuan Scientific Research Center suddenly went directly to Shuangdan to recruit people like crazy, so he had to understand the situation before he could judge how angry the opponent was and then be prepared.

He called Ning Zizi and answered quickly.

"Hey, Ning Zi, President Xu from Shuangdan University just called me and said that Ning Yuan was poaching people from their side? Is this really true?"

"Yes. For the time being, I just sent an invitation letter and briefly introduced Ningyuan's policy to attract talents. Some money earned must be spent. In fact, it's nothing. It just sends R\u0026D funds, laboratories, and equipment. However, I received a lot of replies saying it’s true, a lot of people are really interested.”

Ning Zi's response was very calm, which made Chen Yonggang relieved. The tone shouldn't be too much of a problem.

"Oh, how many people have you sent invitations to in total?"

"There are 869 people, including 681 people with the title of associate researcher or above in research positions, and 188 people with the title of associate professor or above in teaching positions, mainly in the field of natural research. Oh, by the way, there are 27 academicians among them, and 119 have received Yangtze River Scholars Most of the young talents from the Natural Science Foundation such as , Outstanding Youth, Outstanding Youth, and Young Scientists are also talents who have made outstanding achievements in their respective fields, and they were carefully selected by us."

"Ah? 869 people? 27 academicians? 119 people under the Ten Thousand Persons Plan? Ning Jie, are you planning to vacate Shuangdan University?"

After hearing the data reported by Ning Zi, Chen Yonggang couldn't hold back any longer.

He originally thought it was nothing serious, but this data made him understand why the other party called him so early in the morning.

He would get angry if this happened to him.

What is the concept of more than 800 people?

Although he does not know the exact data, Chen Yonggang can probably judge that the total number of faculty and staff at Shuangdan University is only about 3,600 to 4,000, including administrative staff including logistics and security. We can probably get rid of the odd bits, leaving only 3,000 people.

Shuangdan is a comprehensive university, and there are a lot of teaching positions in liberal arts and management majors. After subtracting these people, only half of them are left. Ning Zi said that he is looking for scientific research leaders who have the title of associate professor, associate researcher or above and have achieved results in the past three years. This is almost like sweeping away the top scientific research capabilities of Shuangdan University.

After all, the largest number of ordinary lecturers, those who are no longer working on the front line of scientific research, are not among those invited by Ning Zi.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is digging the roots. Needless to say, as long as one-third of the people are willing to come, at least half of the scientific research projects of Shuangdan University will be unmanned, and the laboratory will probably become empty...

But for today's sports, this is definitely not a burden. Because I have no accumulation before, this is an extremely valuable asset if I want to develop into a comprehensive university. There is no question of whose job these people will take when they come.

This made Chen Yonggang not sure whether to cry or laugh.

"Oh, not everyone is willing to leave Mingzhu. Currently, there are only 633 people who have responded to the message to inquire about the situation. Even if they all come over, there will still be 236 people who will stay in Shuangdan. And I don't think that many people will come over. It’s probably more than five hundred people at most.”

Well, it's good. More than 500 professors and researchers came. Chen Yonggang was already convinced at this time. This excellent number gave Shuangdan University enough reason to fight against the National Sports University.

"Ning Zi, tell me the truth. Are you serious about doing this, or is it just to scare them?"

"Of course I am serious. President Chen, if the university wants to develop, it cannot take the ordinary path. Scientists are the most precious wealth everywhere. If you have this opportunity, of course you must seize it. Yesterday I called President Xu, The deal fell apart. I think that’s the best reason.”

"Did you call him yesterday?"

"Yes, because of the article that Professor Xing posted online, I hope to resolve the matter peacefully, but Principal Xu refused."

"Oh, I understand. In this case, you are responsible for recruiting people, and I am responsible for quarreling with Shuangdan and settling various formalities. I will fight for the staffing issue. In addition, you are responsible for Professor Xing. If you have any demands, you can tell me and I will help you fight for them."

"I don't think he is suitable to continue in the position of teaching and educating people."

"I understand, I'll be fired from office. That's it. Goodbye."

"goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yonggang knew that he couldn't stay at school today.

Something needs to be done first.

After all, the transfer of so many university professors is a very troublesome matter and requires approval at various levels. Especially for those professors who have staff, leaving from Double Dan means giving up the original staff. Nowadays, there are not so many staff in the university to arrange.

But the problem is not that big.

The chip R\u0026D center that is about to officially start operations has secured more than 300 R\u0026D positions, as well as the large-scale artificial intelligence and robot R\u0026D base that Ning Zi has secured. With a land area of ​​10,000 acres, hundreds of laboratories and manufacturing workshops have been planned. In the future, at least thousands of formal positions will have to be allocated. After all, there are not so many researchers, and this 10,000-acre base cannot operate at all.

The most important thing is that Ning Zi is tall or rich now.

As long as the money is in place, it can be said that these are not problems.

At this moment, he even wanted to thank Xing Jianxin.

After all, the economics tycoon must be the starting point for the next argument.

If you don't talk about martial ethics, of course you can't blame us for draining the firepower.

"Hurry up and arrange a car for me. I have something important to report to the Ministry of Education."
