Chapter 431 Liquidated Damages

"When I signed the contract with this company, it was a three-year contract. If I terminated the contract early, I had to pay liquidated damages. The liquidated damages would be three times the signing fee!" Li Long felt extremely regretful. If Lu Qiujian had come a week earlier,

, there would be no such trouble, but now he is tied to the contract.

"You just joined the job, so it should be considered a probationary period, right? Can't you leave on your own during the probationary period?" Lu Qiujian also frowned.

"I don't have a probation period, I signed a formal contract directly!" When the interview just ended, this was his pride, but now it has become a burden.

That's right. Of course, such an outstanding talent does not need to be bound by a probation period. Li Yan couldn't help but interrupt and asked, "How much signing fee did he pay when signing the contract?"

"The signing fee is 100,000 yuan, which means that if I want to terminate the contract now, I have to pay 300,000 yuan in compensation!" Not to mention 300,000 yuan, even 100,000 yuan Li Long can't come up with it now. He just got the money.

I wired 50,000 yuan to my family, and spent almost the rest on renting a house, buying clothes, etc.

"One hundred thousand yuan!" Li Yan couldn't help but click his tongue. It's really profitable to be in finance! Just one signature is almost more than his annual income!

This amount of money is not a problem for Lu Qiujian, but he has no reason to pay liquidated damages for Li Long. The property planned by Xi He will not agree to this fee, even if he lends it to Li Long and lets him use it later.

It is not appropriate to repay wages in installments, so I still need to convince Li Long’s company.

"What is the background of the company you are working for now? Do you think there are other ways to solve this problem?" Lu Qiujian asked.

"This company is a branch of a small Wall Street company in China and has close ties with the US Embassy. If you want to find a solution from other aspects, I'm afraid it won't be easy to solve!" Li Long thought Lu Qiujian wanted to use official influence

He put pressure on the company and quickly advised him.

"A company on Wall Street?" Lu Qiujian has really thought about this method. If a domestic company finds an official representative to make peace with him, the other party will definitely give him this face, but it is different for foreign companies.

It seems that we need to think of other ways, "What is the name of which Wall Street company? What is your boss's personality? Is it possible to negotiate a solution?"

"Our parent company is called Carlson Fund, which is named after the surname of the company's founder Carlson. He is a graduate of the mathematics department of the State University of New York at Stony Brook and earned his first pot of gold by relying on a set of algorithms he developed.

Thus founded this company! The boss of the Beijing subsidiary is Mr. Myers, Carlson’s early partner. Mr. Myers is a strict man and attaches great importance to contracts. It may not be easy to convince him!" Li Long is not very optimistic about this matter.

can be resolved peacefully.

"It doesn't matter, everything is discussed!" Lu Qiujian seemed to have an idea, "It's a bit late today, see if you can ask Mr. Miles out to talk tomorrow."

"Let me give it a try! If there is any news, I will call you right away!" Li Long was not very confident. However, for the sake of his scientific research dream, he was still willing to try, even if he was scolded by his boss.

Waiting for your news!" Lu Qiujian and Li Long exchanged business cards, and then the two of them chatted for a while about professional issues in plasma.

As soon as he talked about professional issues, Li Long suddenly became energetic. The fatigue from working overtime just now disappeared, and he discussed with Lu Qiujian the latest research results of major institutions in the world.

This chat lasted for more than two hours, until all the customers in the coffee shop left, Li Long reluctantly said goodbye to Lu Qiujian. After coming out, he asked Li Long where he lived, and found that it was not far from here. Lu Qiujian

By the way, I drove him home and then arrived at my residence.

After coaxing Xia Xiao to sleep, Lu Qiujian searched the Internet for information about the Carlson Fund. After another hour, he went to the bedroom and fell asleep slowly.

Things seemed to be going smoothly. Mr. Miles, who was said to be rigorous by Li Long, happily accepted Lu Qiujian's invitation. The two parties agreed to meet in the evening at the same cafe.

"I didn't expect that the first time I met a Fields Medal winner would be in China!" Miles' first sentence revealed the true reason for his appointment.

"That's probably because you are too busy at work! If you have time to go to Princeton, there are Fields Medal winners everywhere!" It's not far from Wall Street to Princeton.

"But they won't like people in the financial industry like me. They always complain that Wall Street has robbed too many mathematical geniuses!" Miles is not as serious as Li Long said at all!

It seems that those who leave the field of scientific research because the salary cannot keep up are not just those born in China! However, the salary of scientific researchers in the United States can basically meet their expenses to maintain a middle-class life, but this cannot be the case in China.

The initial chat between the two parties was very pleasant, but when Lu Qiujian talked about Li Long's problem, Miles returned to his true nature as a businessman. "Professor Lu, I understand the importance of a genius for scientific research! But I am more

Understand how much profit a genius can create in the financial market! I cherish Li’s smart brain as much as you do!”

"So you don't plan to let him leave?" Lu Qiujian wondered what conditions he would offer.

"A contract is a contract. Since Li signed the contract and received the signing fee, Jiu Jiu should have worked for the company for three years in accordance with the contract! Of course, he can leave if he wants to. He only needs to pay 300,000 liquidated damages! I want to follow the contract

With Li's ability, he will soon be able to make up this amount!" Miles replied, spreading his hands.

"We all know that time is equally valuable for scientific research and financial markets! At the same time, I think there must be other ways for you to terminate this contract!" Lu Qiujian looked into his eyes.

Miles lowered his head to avoid Lu Qiujian's gaze. He stirred the coffee spoon in the quilt for a moment, seeming to judge how much Lu Qiujian was willing to pay for Li Long. After a minute, he raised his head again, "Lu Qiujian

Professor, you are one of the best mathematicians in the world, and I think you also understand the importance of mathematics to finance!"

"Yes, I understand very well!" It was a pleasant memory that he, Patrice, and Norman from Harvard were making huge fortunes in the financial market.

"Then let me tell you the truth! As long as you are willing to help us with a little help in mathematics, then I will be happy to return Mr. Li's contract to him. Not only will he not have to pay liquidated damages, he can even keep the signing fee.

!" Miles set out his own conditions! (To be continued.)
