When Niu Xiaoqiang heard this, he hurriedly took out a pen and took an A4 piece of paper from the table to write a report.

Zhang Xiaolan watched from the sidelines, and when she saw Niu Xiaoqiang's labor fees totaling 200,000 US dollars, she almost didn't drop her jaw in shock, and was stunned for a moment before reminding in a low voice: "Xiaoqiang, if you give yourself such a high labor fee, I'm afraid the foundation won't agree, right?"

Niu Xiaoqiang continued to write the report, and replied without raising his head: "All the parts of the robot are processed by me, and the mechanical structure of the body is also assembled by me, in addition, I also participated in the assembly of the circuit system, which can only be done by senior engineers, and the workload I completed alone is worthy of a team, so it is really not much to calculate 200,000 US dollars." ”

Zhang Xiaolan knows that the salaries of senior technical talents in the United States are very high, and if you want to hire a team, the cost will be very terrifying, and Niu Xiaoqiang's explanation is reasonable.

She nodded slightly, then looked down. Niu Xiaoqiang then listed the salary in software engineering, which was also $200,000.

Zhang Xiaolan couldn't help but ask again: "Aren't you not writing a program? Why is the salary of software engineering so high?"

"Although I didn't write a program, I participated in the calculations, and provided great support to the professor's programming, which was very large and required a senior team to complete, but I did it alone, and the salary of course showed my value. ”

Zhang Xiaolan was completely speechless, and what Niu Xiaoqiang said made her speechless to refute.

In addition to his normal salary, Niu Xiaoqiang also arranged for himself to pay 20,000 US dollars in overtime, which included a night shift allowance.

The United States is a country that pays more attention to human rights, and the vast majority of companies do not have night shifts, and there is very little overtime, and he has worked night shifts every day a few days ago, and has also worked extra overtime, according to his salary standard, a total of 20,000 dollars in overtime pay and night shift allowance is not high.

In total, Niu Xiaoqiang received a total of $420,000 in remuneration.

After writing his remuneration, Niu Xiaoqiang began to count Zhang Xiaolan's remuneration.

Zhang Xiaolan's salary cannot be compared with Niu Xiaoqiang, and she only has a total of 14,000 US dollars. In addition to the $6,000 that needs to be repaid to Niu Xiaoqiang, there are $8,000 left.

Even so, Zhang Xiaolan is also very happy. She didn't look at Red Bull Xiaoqiang's super high income, because this is what Niu Xiaoqiang deserves.

Zhang Xiaolan is involved in the artificial intelligence project, and she is well aware of the importance of Niu Xiaoqiang in this project. If it weren't for Niu Xiaoqiang, the project might still be in the design stage, and it would not have been possible to complete it so quickly.

Niu Xiaoqiang quickly wrote the report and handed it to Watson: "Professor, you take a look first, if you think something is inappropriate, please bring it up, and I will revise it." ”

Watson picked up the report and looked at it carefully, then smiled: "There is nothing that needs to be modified, I haven't gotten off work yet, I'm going to find someone from the Foundation to see if I can send you your pay before I get off work at noon." ”

The two nodded happily and continued to sit in the research room and wait.

Watson now had a huge aura, and the Foundation people were very polite to him, and they only did a cursory review and asked Watson for his personal opinion to see if he agreed with the amount of remuneration on the report.

Watson naturally nodded in agreement immediately, and the people of the Foundation were not verbose when they saw this, and immediately signed and approved.

At half past eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Watson returned to the research room and wrote two cash checks in front of the two of them, which were handed over to Niu Xiaoqiang and Zhang Xiaolan respectively. The two signed the account book to confirm the payment, then said goodbye to the professor and prepared to go to the bank to exchange the check.

Before parting, Niu Xiaoqiang whispered to Watson and had a brief exchange on the next move.

Watson will then wait for someone from the relevant department to come to him to talk about cooperation, and if he doesn't find someone within a month, he will take the initiative to submit an application for the relevant department to release Robert and support his next research.

This is the worst-case scenario, according to the estimation of the two, the relevant departments will definitely take the initiative to find Watson. Today's press conference was so successful that the momentum was very big, and the two of them didn't believe that people from relevant departments were not moved.

Niu Xiaoqiang also reminded the professor by the way, asking the professor to pay attention to negotiation skills, try to be as sincere as possible, and not offend these people. After all, they are people from important departments, and they can't offend them.

"Professor, don't forget me about the follow-up research and development work, call me directly if necessary, as for the class, you don't have to worry about this at all, I can learn by myself. ”

Watson was in a very good mood, and said with a smile: "You are a genius, it doesn't matter to you whether you go to class or not, as for the follow-up research and development work, when Robert comes back, the three of us will discuss it together." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded and rushed to the bank with Zhang Xiaolan.

Niu Xiaoqiang was treated unfairly when he came to this bank to exchange checks last time, and now that he came for the second time, the staff at the counter did not dare to make a fuss anymore, and the service attitude was very good. Niu Xiaoqiang didn't like the staff last time, so he changed the counter to go through the exchange procedures.

After looking at the amount on the check, the young staff member said apologetically: "Sir, the amount you exchanged is too large, and we can't provide so much cash here for the time being, why don't you make an appointment first?"

Before Niu Xiaoqiang could speak, Zhang Xiaolan interjected: "Xiaoqiang, are you going to convert all the money into cash and take it away?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "Yes." ”

Zhang Xiaolan reminded: "How unsafe it is to put so much money at home, in case it is stolen, the loss will be too great, I think you might as well get a bank card and deposit the money in it, the banking system in the United States is very developed, you can directly swipe the card or transfer money when you use it, which is not much safer than carrying cash?"

Niu Xiaoqiang didn't think about this method, but he heard Karina say that many banks in the United States are privately opened, and if one is not done well, it will go bankrupt and liquidate, and at that time, the depositors' deposits will be lost.

When he told Zhang Xiaolan about this concern, Zhang Xiaolan smiled: "This is simple, you can deposit money in a strong big bank, the risk of bankruptcy of a big bank is relatively low, and it is unlikely that there will be problems." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang asked: "I am not very familiar with American banks, do you know which bank is very strong?"

Zhang Xiaolan immediately replied: "Citibank, which we are going through the procedures, is relatively strong, and if you deposit your money in this bank, it is guaranteed that there will be no risk." ”

Citibank is one of the world's largest giant banks, and its strength is definitely the top-notch.
