Rebirth of the God-level Xueba

"Mr. Tu Xian, Ms. Wang Yun, the current situation is like this. If both of you, husband and wife, are willing to work full-time in Sinovel Labs, we can provide each with a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan and corresponding bonuses. The bonus is the highest. It can reach a salary of 12 months, which is 24,000 yuan. If only one of you stays, the salary will be 1,600 yuan per month, and there may also be a bonus of up to 12 months."

Li Zhangzhen paused for a moment, slowed down his speech, and said again: "Of course, it doesn't matter if you choose not to work full-time in Huarui Laboratory. We will provide a monthly subsidy of 150 yuan."

Sitting opposite him, Tu Xian and Wang Xiaoyun also looked solemn. Changing jobs is almost the most solemn thing for Chinese people.

Knowing this, Yang Rui immediately increased the price, saying: "If you sign the contract within three days, we will reward you with three months' salary. If two people sign the contract, it will be 6,000 yuan for each person, and 12,000 yuan for the two. It is 4,800 yuan if you sign the contract. In addition, we will try our best to help you with the formalities.”

Now the whole country is full of people who go to sea, so it is not difficult to go through the formalities, the key lies in what the two of them think.

Wang Xiaoyun looked at her husband Tu Xian, and first asked: "Why is it 1600 for one person, and 2000 for two people?"

"Because you are a husband and wife, if you two work together in Huarui Lab, it will be more stable, and it can reduce a lot of costs for us. In addition, it is more convenient in terms of confidentiality." Difficult questions are all answered by Li Zhangzhen .

Wang Xiaoyun hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "What is the difference between a part-time job and a full-time job, other than the difference between subsidies and salary?"

"Actually, full-time employees will join a new company, the registered name is Sinovel Biotech, and all the assets of the current Sinovel Laboratory will also be injected into the new company. They will get more funding and do brand new research. .Part-time working researchers will continue the potassium channel project, and the funds will mainly come from Peking University and the applied national fund.”

"That is to say, part-time, about the same as now?"

"We may change to a new laboratory, but a fixed subsidy of 150 yuan will be added. All in all, we hope that you will stay in the way you like." Li Zhangzhen smiled as sincerely as possible, and said: "I We will also recruit new employees to serve you researchers as well as possible.”

The subsidy of 150 yuan is quite a lot, a little higher than Tu Xian's current salary, but compared with the salary of 2,000 yuan, it is nothing.

Tu Xian and Wang Xiaoyun are typical double-employees, and they both work in public institutions. As far as the 1980s were concerned, they were typical economically excellent families.

They are not too short of money, and the decisions they usually make are often not from an economic point of view.

However, the difference between a salary of 2,000 yuan and a subsidy of 150 yuan is so great that it has actually gone beyond the economic point of view.

But on the other hand, there is a huge difference between the iron rice bowl and private companies, and foreign companies are no exception.

Tu Xian's work unit is Beijing Iron and Steel Institute, the future Beijing University of Science and Technology. Although the Department of Biology has just been established, it also means that Tu Xian is the founding father of the department. Even from the perspective of the future, it is difficult to say whether the outcome of Tu Xian's resignation is good or bad.

Looking at it optimistically, if Tu Xian stays in Beijing University of Science and Technology, with his qualifications and level, he will be able to become a professor in less than 20 years. At that time, he was still a young professor under the age of 50. By then, Whether he chooses to live hard, pursue an official career, or devour gray income, he has very good conditions.

However, it is difficult to predict the future after joining Sinovel Labs. If one is unfortunately fired, the outcome is unpredictable.

Wang Xiaoyun's work unit is the Beijing Institute of Biological Products, which is also a first-class biological research institution in China. As a woman, her chances of becoming an official in the future are relatively low, but in other respects, she is not inferior to Tu Xian.

In this situation, is Huarui's condition worth the drastic changes the two of them have made to their lives?

"We need to discuss it." Wang Xiaoyun didn't make a decision immediately.

"Of course." Yang Rui expressed his understanding.

When the two left, Yang Rui watched the door close and asked, "Do you think they will agree?"

Li Zhangzhen said in disbelief: "If you are a teacher at the University of Hong Kong, if you offer a salary of 200,000 yuan, there is a 10% chance that you will change jobs, because Americans can't offer such a high salary. Going to work abroad, but for teachers in the mainland, I can’t say whether 2,000 yuan is enough.”

"Do you need to work harder?"

"2,000 yuan is more than enough, and 3,000 to 4,000 yuan, I don't think there is much difference." A ten-fold salary increase may be common in Silicon Valley, but it was absolutely rare in China in the 1980s.

Yang Rui said: "It's not about the salary, I think we have neglected the research conditions."

"Conditions? The conditions of our laboratory are top-notch." Li Zhangzhen doesn't know the conditions of the laboratories of the University of Hong Kong or foreign universities, but he remembers the money spent by Huarui Laboratory every day. .

Even now, a few kilograms of samples are processed a day, and the culture medium used later costs hundreds of yuan. The cost of business trips to Yunnan is even higher. The equipment shipped directly from Hong Kong costs more than 100,000 yuan. Yang Rui ordered it non-stop when he came back For new instruments and consumables, half of the 600,000 yuan sent by Peking University has already been spent.

As far as the four-hand information Li Zhangzhen learned, the University of Hong Kong did not have such a luxury.

Yang Rui didn't think about it from the perspective of a laboratory manager, he thought for a while, and said slowly: "I'm not saying that the conditions in our laboratory are not good, but I think we didn't give Huang Mao, Tu Xian and Wei Zhenxue* * research conditions."

"You mean funding their fucking research?"

"Come out completely, and the reality is immature now, just to write an entry-level paper? Then what is the difference between them and other lecturers in the school." Yang Rui has enough qualifications to despise entry-level papers. He is a graduate student. At that time, the conditions were not as good as that of Sinovel Lab. In terms of the per capita instruments and per capita funding of Sinovel Lab, the goal must be "" level papers to be sustainable. . As for now, Yang Rui is about to publish "cell", and it is meaningless for his laboratory to publish introductory papers.

Li Zhangzhen didn't understand: "If we don't let the complete rape come out, what else can we give?"

"You look like this. Didn't many instrument companies send their catalogs a few days ago? Bring them to me."

Li Zhangzhen didn't ask any more questions, and immediately ran to the utility room of Westinghouse to look for the product catalogue.

Commercial companies in western countries like to create catalogs. Not only instrument companies, but also toy companies will send their own catalogs to families with children. Some families will give their children a budget and let them choose Christmas gifts from the catalogue. , After confirmation, the toy company will mail the product to the buyer.

Most of the product catalogs are in the style of magazines, and some are in the style of newspapers. Nowadays, most of them are black and white, but most of them are full of pictures and texts. Some products are recommended with key points, and there are also large sections of product details. It is a bit like early online shopping. In fact, , Western mail-order commodities have developed for many years, and the application of scientific research is even more comprehensive. From a small test paper to a large 10,000-ton hydraulic press, there are various catalogs and illustrations for people to circulate.

The benefits of doing this are also obvious. Firstly, the information that the company wants can be delivered. Secondly, the instrument and equipment companies are all multinational. Text translation is easier than making a phone call. Thirdly, it is often not a person who purchases instruments and equipment. Determined, often not even by the person answering the phone or reception, a catalog is much more useful than a mere business card.

The current situation is like this. Yang Rui placed a bunch of product catalogs, carefully selected three, and said: "Each person has a quota of 100,000 US dollars, let them choose the equipment they want. Huang Mao, Tu Xian, Wang Xiaoyun and Wei Zhenxue, anyone who joins can choose a $100,000 instrument, just don’t repeat it.”

"Huh? Why?"

"Because we are going to buy instruments anyway, and they are the actual operators, so they naturally have the right to choose the instruments they want to use. The instruments are public, and they just have the right to choose." It is a big project, and Yang Rui can't do it alone. , if Huang Mao and others join, they will all undertake considerable tasks. The equipment must be bought after all, and it would be good to hand over some rights to them.

Scientific research is actually a very private matter.

Everyone has different methods of doing experiments, and everyone has different habits of doing scientific research. Maybe some people don’t like to do repeated verification, so they will be willing to buy automated instruments. Some people may not care about spending time on repeated verification. But I am very concerned about the stability of the instrument.

Large-scale equipment may require relatively comprehensive knowledge, but small-scale instruments in the laboratory may not necessarily be. In fact, for sufficiently good professionals, choosing equipment should not be difficult. Most of the professional instruments on this planet are Invented and manufactured by professionals, their original work is like this, even if they encounter uncommon equipment, everyone has enough learning ability to deal with it.

In advanced laboratories, what senior researchers care most about is the right to choose equipment.

The salaries of most basic scientific research personnel are not high, and the median is about 30,000 US dollars. If you save a little, this is more than enough to support your family.

However, the price of equipment is expensive, tens of thousands of dollars, hundreds of thousands of dollars, millions of dollars, tens of millions of dollars, hundreds of millions of dollars, billions of dollars... In theory, scientific research is as expensive as you want , the ion pair impact in Geneva, the Harvard telescope in the sky, the space shuttle that goes into space, the submarine that goes into the sea, any kind of equipment can be a big toy for researchers.

For those who really like scientific research, the laboratory is the place to rest.

There are many scientific researchers with this tendency, and Yang Rui has seen many of them. When he was studying, there was a professor who went to the laboratory during the winter and summer vacations, rain or shine, just to take a standard afternoon nap. I'm not used to it.

Huang Mao, Tu Xian, Wang Xiaoyun, and Wei Zhenxue are all dreamers aiming at the avenue of science. This era is full of dreamers full of ideals and burning blood. Their dreams may gradually become realistic, but It has never disappeared. On the contrary, the time spent working in Huarui's laboratory will only make the dreams of Huang Mao and others burn hotter.

A few thousand yuan for relocation is certainly not bad, it is a basic requirement to quit your job and make a huge change in your life.

$100,000 represents dreams and respect.
