Chapter 429: Should Scientists Be Poor?

"What provisions were made in the contract for delayed delivery?" Lu Qiujian asked Li Yan, who had just accepted the atomic clock. He was not sure whether this delay was a test by the opposition forces, but in order to avoid such a situation from recurring in the future, this

Never do nothing at a time. Depends on

"The contract states that the delay time will fluctuate within a reasonable period within three days, and there will be no punitive measures." Li Yan shrugged and replied. This action reminded people that he was a white man after all.

"Does this mean that the other party has not breached the contract?" Lu Qiujian knocked on the table depressedly and asked unwillingly, "What about our payment time? How is it stipulated in the contract?"

"The contract divides the payment into three parts. The first part is the advance payment, which will be paid to the other party's account after the contract is signed; the second part will be paid to the other party's account within one week after product delivery and inspection and acceptance.

"The last payment is the deposit, which will be paid to the other party only after the atomic clock has been used for one year and there is no major failure!" Li Yan remembers the terms of the contract very clearly.

"Then just pay them before the deadline stipulated in the contract!" Since the other party's methods are within the scope of the contract, Lu Qiujian will pay them back in the same way. I hope those cooperative units can understand

Understand what you mean and don't let similar situations happen again.

"If there is similar cooperation in the future, the terms of the contract may be more stringent. It is still in the early preparation stage, and the time requirements are relatively loose. If this situation occurs again at the critical moment of the experiment, we will suffer losses.

This is serious!" After solving the immediate matter, Lu Qiujian did not forget to make up for it.

"Okay, I'm already preparing these!" Li Yan was not surprised. He has rich experience in this area and knows what to do.

Seeing that he had no intention of leaving after the matter was discussed, Lu Qiujian asked, "Is there anything else that I need to solve?"

"It's like this. Our department is planning to introduce a talent recently. He is a doctoral student from MIT. His professional ability is very outstanding. My colleagues and I hope he can join our team!" Li Yan

While reporting, he handed over the person's resume.

"Aren't you the one who can make the decision on these matters?" Lu Qiujian asked with some confusion. He had to personally review the members of the core team one by one, but the personnel in each group could be reviewed by their own department heads.

What does Li Yan mean by telling me this now?

After asking, Lu Qiujian opened his resume. Hey, he is still an alumnus! Lu Qiujian saw that the resume of this young scientist named Li Long was very dazzling. After graduating from the Department of Physics of Beijing Normal University, he went to the United States and entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Follow the authoritative experts in the field of plasma for further study. When I participated in the annual meeting of the Plasma Physics Branch last year, I was invited to give a special report. After getting my doctorate, I chose the country like Lu Qiujian.

The Plasma Physics Branch is one of the larger physics branches in the United States. Many of the figures in the committee are core members of the National Ignition Facility of the United States. Being able to gain their recognition and get the opportunity to report at the annual meeting has proven that

Li Long's level in this field.

"Such talents must definitely stay!" Lu Qiujian said enthusiastically. He even wanted to let him serve as a plasma assistant after training for a period of time.

"But when I called him to report, he told me that he had found a job!" Li Yan shook his head helplessly.

"Oh? Where did he go? The East Research Center of Anhui Province? The Chinese Academy of Sciences?" Lu Qiujian guessed where he was going, "It doesn't matter, tell me his unit. I'll go find their leaders."

"No, he went to a financial company!" Li Yan's answer was somewhat beyond Lu Qiujian's expectations.

"Huh? Why?" Lu Qiujian asked in confusion. Dr. Li Long obviously had a bright future in science, but why did he give up? If he went to a financial company, wouldn't it be better to go to Wall Street? Why bother with the country?

"Because of the salary!" Li Yan replied depressedly, "He said during the interview that he knew that there was a big gap between the domestic research environment and the United States, but as long as we could give him an annual salary of 120,000 yuan a year, he would

I am willing to stay; but you know, our salary standard cannot reach this figure; and his current annual salary at this financial company is 400,000, I think this is the biggest reason for him to make this decision!"

"This is indeed a problem!" Lu Qiujian leaned on the chair in distress. He rubbed his temples with his right hand. He had only taken over Xihe's plan for a short period of time. Many systems continued to follow the past practices in the field of scientific research in China. Even

The same goes for salary and benefits.

In today's media propaganda, people like to give admired scientists praises such as being willing to live in poverty and being diligent and thrifty, as if they don't need money at all, so when Lu Qiujian took over the interview for Chaotingdai last time

, they were so surprised when they saw that million-dollar bicycle.

This propaganda model has certain historical origins. In the early years, the country was too poor to give scientists too many material rewards, so it had to use spiritual rewards instead. But when the economy improved, this model was continued; except for China

Apart from the increase in bonuses at the Science and Technology Commendation Conference, the material rewards have not increased much.

The result of this kind of propaganda is that most people regard poverty as a label for successful scientists. Lu Qiujian feels that this view is extremely inappropriate! Why should scientists be willing to be poor? I am busy with experiments and writing papers.

Spending time and money is my business, but you must not think that scientists do not need to eat human fireworks because of this!

Lu Qiujian still remembers that after Mr. Yuan won the highest national science and technology award in China, the five million yuan bonus caused a huge controversy in the society until people saw Mr. Yuan on TV after receiving the bonus.

Still maintaining his simple style, he stopped arguing with satisfaction, and said with pretense of admiration, "Look, this is a real scientist."

Isn't Mr. Yuan's achievements worthy of a reward of five million? In Lu Qiujian's opinion, even giving him five hundred million is not too much. Besides, 4.5 million of the five million is for his scientific research. As for

His personal reward was only 500,000 yuan; 500,000 yuan, there are many corporate executives in the capital whose year-end bonuses are much higher than this.

"Call him and make an appointment for me to talk to him!" Lu Qiujian thought for a moment, sat up straight and said. (To be continued.)

ps: Woohoo, I won’t write more about the national football team in the future!
