Boss Jia told Ni Guangnan that as long as Ni Guangnan thought they were geniuses who could help in computer science research in the future, he could recruit them. He would sign a contract with a minimum of 6000 yuan and a maximum of 20000 yuan.
This gave Ni Guangnan a great deal of autonomy. The old academician had been overjoyed in recent days. Not only Tsinghua University, but also students from all the major universities in the capital came over every day. After Ni Guangnan carefully observed their abilities, he started signing contracts like crazy. Almost every day, dozens of applicants were signed up.
Later, Ni Guangnan found that it was not only students who came. Some people who were obviously in their 30s or 40s also appeared in the list of applicants.
Ni Guangnan asked and found out that they were researchers from the major research institutes in the capital. They had worked in their respective positions for more than ten years and were full of practical work experience.
But why would such people come to the Daqian to apply for a job?
When Ni Guangnan asked, he found out that the various research institutes in the country were having a hard time. At this time, the country's goal was to fully develop the economy. Many of the original research projects were cut off. Therefore, these researchers, who were already living a tight life, became even more unbearable. Many researchers couldn't even feed their families.
Some researchers were still earning 70 yuan a month. They were graduates of Tsinghua University in the 1970s. Can you believe this situation?
There were also some research institutes that had begun to encourage some of their subordinates to go out and find something to do. There was no other way. The institute could no longer pay their salaries. They had no choice but to encourage everyone to be self-reliant.
But in this way, Ni Guangnan was in a dilemma. These researchers who had more than ten years or even decades of practical work experience were definitely more useful than those who had just graduated.
As soon as they joined the research institute, they could immediately start working. They did not need to train students or do internships. But these researchers were supported by the research institutes of major countries in the capital. There were too many things involved. If something went wrong, it would be troublesome.
Therefore, Ni Guangnan reported this matter to Boss Jia. Jia Yapeng hesitated for a while, and then said that he would treat them separately. Those who were really capable and hardworking, and at the same time, the other research institutes had clearly expressed their support for the resignation of the researchers, or at least did not explicitly express their opposition, would be recruited. As for the others, they would be temporarily put on hold.
Boss Jia's idea was not wrong, but the problem was, how did Ni Guangnan know the attitude of the units behind these people? It was all based on the words of these applicants!
Many researchers who knew that the units were not willing to let them go directly hid the truth in order to get better salary and living environment. Ni Guangnan saw that they were really outstanding, so he agreed. In a few days, the number of researchers recruited was almost the same as the number of graduates. In total, there were more than 600 people.
Moreover, there was a continuous stream of people who came to apply..... The entire scientific community in the capital was stirred by this trend.
Then, the situation that Jia Yapeng was worried about happened. Some research institutes suddenly found that some of the main researchers in their institutes, who could even be called the backbone, suddenly handed in their resignation letters to the units and quit.
This made many units anxious. Now, many research institutes were counting on some hard-working old scalpers who did not spend much money to maintain the research in the institute. They also asked for funding from the higher-ups. In the end, these old scalpers were leaving. How could this be?
The entire research institute was counting on these scalpers' research funds to live. How could they leave?
The various units tried their best to persuade these people to stay, and they even generously increased their salaries to two to three hundred yuan a month. However, the researchers who had already signed the contract with a minimum salary of six thousand yuan a month were not willing to stay. There was a fierce argument between the two parties.
Seeing that the salary increase was not effective, these units took out their trump cards, which were the government's establishment and archives, and various titles, trying to threaten these researchers to stay.
But in the face of a monthly salary of six thousand yuan, these things were nothing for people who were afraid of being poor.
In the end, many people directly abandoned all their establishment and archives and left the unit alone. This time, the unit was completely helpless. After these invincible threats in the past disappeared, their majesty seemed unusually weak.
However, they still had one last trick.
Therefore, many units began to secretly investigate. After finding out that this was the doing of the Daqian Group, they wrote letters to the higher-ups, accusing the Daqian Group of robbery and shamelessness. They said that they were harboring evil intentions, poaching the backbone of the country's scientific research, and would bring great danger to the country.
One or two units were not affected by this, but when more than a dozen units reported the same thing, it was a bit troublesome.
Soon, all these letters were sent to the director of the National Scientific Research Office, Director Zhu.
"The Daqian Group, poaching the corner of the country's scientific research …" Director Zhu frowned when he saw these alarmist words. If these things were true, it would cause a lot of trouble!
However, Director Zhu felt that something was wrong. How could a private company invest so much money to recruit scientific research talents?
According to the reports of these units, there were at least a few hundred scientific research talents in the capital who were poached with a monthly salary of about ten thousand yuan. Then, wouldn't this month's scientific research expenses reach the level of several million yuan? Was this the courage of a private company?
Finally, when Director Zhu saw the recruitment address of the other party attached to the report letter, which was located in Yangjiao Alley, near the Russian Embassy, the loose skin on Director Zhu's face twitched a little.
Why does this address look so familiar? It seems to be my relative's house!
— — —
Early the next morning, an ordinary car stopped on the side of the road. Director Zhu got out of the car with a person and returned to the alley that was clearly close by, but had not been back for more than ten years.
What made Director Zhu sigh was that some of the familiar neighbors in the past could not be seen now. Sure enough, the world changed too quickly.
When he arrived at Marquis Yanen's Mansion, he saw that it was full of people. Many people were waiting in line outside, anxiously looking inside.
"Comrade, which unit are you from?" Director Zhu asked after he was at the end of the line.
"I'm from the National Institute of Materials Research!" The man whispered.
"Why, you can't do it there? I remember that your unit and the country allocated a lot of money! "Director Zhu said with a frown.
"They allocated a lot of money, but I'm researching semiconductor materials, which is not popular. Now, aerospace materials and composite metals are popular in the institute. I'm not interested in semiconductors, so I only get 120 yuan a month. There are three children at home, all of whom have to study and eat. There's no other way!" The researcher sighed, "If possible, no one wants to work in this private company. It's so embarrassing!"
"En!" Director Zhu nodded. He suddenly understood why this trend could not be stopped.
"Do you think this Daqian Group is really doing research?" Director Zhu asked again.
"It should be. Otherwise, why would they hire so many people? We don't know anything except for research. We don't have much money, but each of us is given a minimum monthly salary of 6000 yuan. Don't they have too much money to burn their hands? "The man smiled bitterly.
"En!" Director Zhu nodded again, then walked over and walked directly into the door.
"Brother, you should line up. Don't cut the line!" When the man saw him, he suddenly said with some unhappiness.
"I'm a relative of the owner of this house. I'm here to see the house!" Director Zhu replied lightly, making these people suddenly speechless.
