"Mr. Tu Xian, Ms. Wang Yun, the current situation is like this, if you and your husband are willing to work full-time in the Huarui room, we can provide a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan per person, as well as the corresponding bonus. The bonus can reach up to 12 months' salary, which is 24,000 yuan. If only one of you remains, the salary will be 1,600 yuan per month, and there may be a bonus of up to 12 months. ”

Li Zhangzhen paused, slowed down his speech, and then said: "Of course, if you choose not to work full-time in the Huarui Shi room, it doesn't matter, we provide a subsidy of 150 yuan per month." ”

Tu Xian and Wang Xiaoyun sat opposite him, also with solemn faces, changing jobs, which is almost the most serious thing for Chinese.

Yang Rui knew this very well, and immediately increased his weight, saying: "If you sign a contract within three days, we will give you a three-month salary reward." If two people sign a contract, it is 6,000 yuan for one person and 12,000 yuan for two people. If you sign a contract alone, it is 4,800 yuan. In addition, we will do our best to help you with the procedures. ”

Now that the whole country is full of people who go to the sea, it is not difficult to go through the procedures, the key is what the two think.

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

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

Wang Xiaoyun hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "What is the difference between not working full-time and working full-time, apart from the difference between subsidies and salaries?"

"In fact, full-time employees will enter a new company, registered as Sinovel Biotech, and all the assets of the current Sinovel room will also be injected into the new company, and they will get more funds to do new research. Fellows who work part-time will continue the Potassium Pathway project, funded mainly by Peking University and the national funds they have applied for. ”

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

"There may be a new real yàn room, but there will be an increase in a fixed subsidy of 150 yuan, all in all, we want you to stay, in the way you like. Li Zhangzhen smiled as sincerely as he could, and said, "I will also recruit new employees to serve you researchers as well as possible." ”

The subsidy of 150 yuan is 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 dual-income workers, and both work in public institutions, as far as the 80s are concerned, they are typical economic 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 actually beyond the economic perspective.

But on the other hand, the difference between iron rice bowls and private enterprises is also huge, and foreign companies are no exception.

Tu Xian's work unit is Beijing Iron and Steel Institute, the future University of Science and Technology Beijing, although the Department of Biology has just been established, it also means that Tu Xian is the founder of the department. Even from a future point of view, it is difficult to say whether the outcome of Tu Xian's resignation will be good or bad.

In an optimistic way, if Tu Xian stays at the University of Science and Technology Beijing, with his qualifications and level, it will not take him 20 years to reach the position of professor, at that time, he is still a young professor under the age of 50, and at that time, whether he chooses to live hard, or drill into a career, or devour gray income, he has very good conditions.

However, it is difficult to talk about the future of joining the Huarui real yàn room, and if it is unfortunate to be fired, the result is unpredictable.

Wang Xiaoyun works at the Beijing Institute of Biological Products, which is also one of China's leading biological research institutions, and as a woman, her chances of a career in the future are relatively low, but in other respects, she is not inferior to Tu Xian.

In this situation, is Sinovel's condition worth the two of them to make earth-shaking changes to their lives?

"We're going to talk about it. Wang Xiaoyun didn't make an immediate decision.

"Of course. Yang Rui expressed understanding.

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

Li Zhangzhen said unconvincedly: "If you are a teacher at the University of Hong Kong, if you offer a salary of 200,000 yuan, you will have to change jobs, because Americans can't offer so much salary? ”

"Need to push a little harder?"

"2,000 yuan is enough, 3,000 yuan or 4,000 yuan, I don't think there is much difference. "A tenfold salary increase may be common in Silicon Valley, but it was absolutely rare in China in the 80s.

Yang Rui said: "It's not that in terms of salary, I think we have neglected the research conditions. ”

"The condition of our real room is top-notch. Li Zhangzhen didn't know what the conditions of the real room of the University of Hong Kong or foreign universities were, but he remembered the money spent every day in the real room of Huarui.

That is, now, a few kilograms of samples are processed a day, and then the medium used will cost hundreds of yuan, and the cost of a business trip to Yunnan is higher, and the instruments shipped directly from Hong Kong are more than 100,000 yuan, Yang Rui came back and ordered new instruments and consumables non-stop, and calculated that half of the 600,000 sent by Peking University has been spent.

As far as Li Zhangzhen learned about the four-hand information, HKU is not so extravagant.

Yang Rui didn't think about it from the perspective of the manager of the real room, he thought for a while, and said slowly: "I'm not saying that the conditions of our real room are not good, but I think we don't have the conditions for Huang Mao, Tu Xian and Wei Zhenxue to study independently. ”

"You mean funding them to do research independently?"

"Completely independent, it's actually immature now, just to write an entry-level sci paper? "Yang Rui has enough qualifications to disdain entry-level sci papers, he can write sci-level papers when he is in graduate school, and the conditions at that time are not as good as those of Hua Rui Shi Yàn room, with the per capita instrument and per capita funding of Hua Rui Shi Yàn room, the goal must be a "JMC" level paper to be sustainable. As for now, Yang Rui is about to publish "Cell", and it is really meaningless for his real room to publish SCI entry-level papers.

Li Zhangzhen didn't understand: "If we don't let me become completely independent, what else can we give?"

"Aren't there a lot of instrument companies that sent their catalogs a few days ago? ”

Li Zhangzhen didn't ask much, and immediately went to the utility room in Westinghouse to find a catalog.

Commercial companies in Western countries like to engage in catalogs, not only instrument companies, toy companies will send their own catalogs to families with children, some families will give their children a budget, and then let them choose Christmas gifts in the catalog, after the confirmation, the toy company will mail the goods to buyers.

Most of the catalogues are magazine styles, there are also newspaper styles, most of them are black and white nowadays, but most of them are illustrated, there are key recommendations for some goods, there are also large paragraphs of commodity details, a bit like the early online shopping, in fact, the Western commodity mail order has developed for many years, the application of scientific research is more comprehensive, as small as a test strip, as large as 10,000 tons of hydraulic presses, there are a variety of commodity catalogs and illustrated books for circulation.

The advantages of this are also obvious, first of all, it can convey the information that the company wants, secondly, the instrument and equipment companies are transnational, and the text translation is simpler than making a phone call, and thirdly, the purchase of instruments and equipment is often not decided by one person, and it is often not decided by the person who answers the phone or receives it, and a product catalog is much more useful than a simple business card.

This is the situation now, Yang Rui put a bunch of commodity catalogs, carefully selected three, and said: "The amount of $100,000 per person, let them choose the instruments they want." Huang Mao, Tu Xian, Wang Xiaoyun and Wei Zhenxue, anyone who joins, can choose an instrument of 100,000 US dollars, and do not repeat it. ”

"Huh? Why?"

"Because we have to buy the instrument anyway, and they are the actual operators, so they naturally have the right to choose the instrument they want to use. The instruments are shared, but the choice is left to them. "PCR is a big project, Yang Rui can't do it alone, if Huang Mao and others join, they will take on quite a task, the instrument is always to be bought, and it's not bad to hand over some rights to them.

Research is a very private matter.

Everyone's method of doing practical research will be different, everyone's habits of doing scientific research are different, maybe some people don't like to do repeated verification, then he will be willing to buy automated instruments, and some people may not care about spending time doing repeated verification, but they care about the stability of the instrument.

In fact, for professionals who are good enough, it should not be difficult to select equipment, most of the professional instruments on this planet are invented and manufactured by professionals, and their original work is like this, even if they encounter strange equipment, everyone has enough learning ability to deal with it.

In the senior practice room, what senior researchers care about most is the right to choose equipment.

Most basic researchers do not have a high salary, with a median of about $30,000, which is more than enough to support a 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...... Theoretically, scientific research is as expensive as it is, and the ion collision in Geneva, the Harvard telescope in the sky, the space shuttle in space, the submarine in the sea, any kind of equipment can be a big toy for researchers.

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

When he was studying, there was a professor who went to the real room rain or shine during the winter and summer vacations, just to sleep a standard nap - the bed at home was not used to sleeping.

Huang Mao, Tu Xian, Wang Xiaoyun and Wei Zhenxue are all dreamers whose goal is directly on the road of science, this era is full of ideals, burning dreamers, their dreams may slowly become realistic, but they have never disappeared, on the contrary, the time spent working in the Huarui real yàn room will only make the dreams of Huang Mao and others burn hotter.

A few thousand yuan is of course a good settling-in allowance, which is a basic requirement for quitting your job and making a big change in your life.

$100,000, but it represents dreams and respect.
