originally thought that Cheng An was his classmate, and this person's current situation is not very satisfactory, this invitation should have a relatively big chance, but unfortunately, although the two sides talked happily and talked about many old things in the past, it was only limited to this.

Cheng An simply rejected Lin Puxiang's request, not that he disregarded the feelings of his classmates, or that he did not look down on the scale of Xuzhou Iron and Steel Company and the treatment given, but because he had already agreed to the invitation of South China University in Guangzhou, and was about to take up the position of dean of the School of Materials of South China University.

This situation made Lin Puxiang a little pity, he didn't expect that he was a step late, but Lin Puxiang was also happy to mention Cheng An.

Cheng An's life in Jinling University is unsatisfactory, which is the premise of Lin Puxiang's invitation to him, but since he is now about to go to South China University in Guangzhou, and he is also serving as the dean of the School of Materials, this is naturally a better choice for Cheng An.

At present, in the Tang Empire, the treatment of scientific researchers in all aspects is very high, and this high treatment is not only reflected in the monetary treatment, but also in the political treatment.

Like South China University in Guangzhou, like Jinling University, the political status of the imperial key university that integrates education and scientific research is quite high, and the president is a three-grade university, and the deans of each college are basically subordinate to the three-grade grade.

South China University in Guangzhou is the first batch of institutions of higher learning established in the empire, its predecessor was South China Higher Normal College, and later the empire in Jinling University, Guozijian University, is ready to build or upgrade the original normal school, the establishment of five comprehensive universities, and from the nationwide education system to draw capable forces, and by the Royal Institute of Technology to give teacher support.

As a result, seven comprehensive universities in the empire have been formed, namely Guozijian University, Jinling University, Chengtian University of Science and Technology, Jiangnan University, Huguang University, North China University, and South China University.

The layout of these seven universities is also very interesting, there are three in Jinling City, namely Guozijian University, Jinling University, Chengtian University of Science and Technology, and then Jiangnan University in Shanghai, South China University in Guangzhou, North China University in Tianjin, and Huguang University in Wuchang.

Basically, three universities were concentrated in Jinling City, and one university was established in each of the four economic centers in the southeast, northwest, and northwest.

Of course, in addition to these seven comprehensive universities, in fact, over the years, the empire has established a number of universities, of which the principle is basically one for each provincial highway.

Under these universities, there are also numerous vocational schools and normal schools, which are not four years but three years, and are intended to train specialists.

In principle, there should be at least one vocational school and normal school in each province, and some provinces with relatively strong economies can also set up several more.

It is worth noting that the Royal Institute of Technology does not belong to the category of the above-mentioned universities, the Royal Institute of Technology has always been a very special existence, in terms of ownership, it is not low to the Ministry of Education Department, but like the Royal Bank and other royal enterprises, it belongs to the royal property.

However, its management is not in the Imperial Assets Division, but under the management of the Education Section of the Hanlin Academy, just like several schools such as the Royal Youth Military Academy and the Royal School.

However, although the Education Department of the Hallym Academy has nominal management rights over the Royal Institute of Technology, they can only manage the administrative department of the school, or more specifically, only the Teaching Office of the Royal Institute of Technology, and this teaching office is only responsible for logistics and does not undertake teaching tasks or scientific research tasks.

The power to teach and research, including the allocation of funds, rests with committees made up of the heads of departments at RMIT University.

At the same time, the school implements a very special senior responsibility system, which is simply that professors are responsible for managing and teaching researchers, researchers are responsible for managing and teaching seniors, seniors are managing juniors, juniors are managing sophomores, and sophomores are managing freshmen.

So you will see that in the classroom of freshmen, they are not taught by professors or researchers, but by seniors and juniors, and often in small classes, with one senior leading several first-year students to study.

Researchers are the ones who teach junior and senior students, and occasionally professors teach in person.

And under this special system, in fact, the teaching office does not have the power to manage any student!

The system of the Royal Institute of Technology is very special, and this is not the most critical, the most critical thing is that this is not a university at all, although it is also called a college, but it is more like a scientific research institution that cultivates talents on its own, well, it belongs to the scientific research institution of the royal family.

To a certain extent, the Royal Institute of Technology is the highest scientific research institution of the Tang Empire, and as for the Royal Academy of Sciences, it has always been only a false name, and now it is almost forgotten.

Aside from the special institution of the Royal Institute of Technology, among the many colleges and universities in the empire, seven comprehensive universities such as Jinling University are the top educational institutions, and they are also the top educational institutions that ordinary people can access, as for the Royal Institute of Technology, it is not a place that ordinary people can go to at all, it is a place that only geniuses and perverts can reach.

Now the entrance exam of the Royal Institute of Technology, the difficulty of the ordinary test papers is equivalent to the graduation exam of other universities, there are ordinary written exams, and essay exams, which is not the key, the key is that since the beginning of the previous year, I also played the IQ test, and the IQ test failed, even if the written test results are good, it is useless.

Because what the Royal Institute of Technology needs is not ordinary students who work hard, but geniuses who work hard!

Not counting the special case of the Royal Institute of Technology, among so many institutions of higher learning in the empire, South China University is naturally a first-class university, and its position as the dean of the School of Materials is not light.

The important thing is that there is no shortage of scientific research funds in key universities like South China University, and Cheng An will receive a large amount of scientific research funds in the future to continue his research.

After the invitation to Cheng An failed, Lin Puxiang did not give up, and soon found Shen Jiaxin, a senior engineer of Jiangnan Iron and Steel Research Institute, but was still politely refused!

This Shen Jiaxin did plan to change jobs, but he did not plan to go to a second-rate enterprise like Xuzhou Iron and Steel Company, and revealed that he planned to start his own business.

In recent years, there have been many technical experts who have started their own businesses, as long as you have great technology and a good reputation, a bunch of rich people outside are lining up to send you money to start a business, of course, people also want shares.

Shen Jiaxin was obviously very disappointed in some of the systems of large enterprises when he was working in Jiangnan Iron and Steel Company, and felt that no matter what company he worked in, it was a part-time job for people, and it was better to start his own business and develop freely, anyway, a bunch of people outside lined up to send him money to start a business.

There is nothing if the business fails, he is still a top material science expert, and he can leave with a pat on the ass, and then whether he goes to work in other companies or simply teaches at a university, it is okay, and only those investors suffer losses.

The successive invitations to both failed to make Lin Puxiang a little disheartened, because the last third, Sun Yuan, a senior graduate of the Royal Institute of Technology, was even more difficult to invite!

Although he has not met Sun Yuan yet, Lin Puxiang has learned that this Sun Yuan was born in poverty, and he climbed up with a scholarship all the way, and then he was admitted to the Royal Institute of Technology and graduated successfully this year.

And there is a business, this Sun Yuan is also arrogant, and has a great desire for money, in order to earn more money, he even gave up the opportunity to stay and teach at the Royal Institute of Technology, which makes Lin Puxiang extremely envious.

Because of staying in school to teach, although the future is very good and the political status is also high, although the financial treatment is also good, it can never be compared with working in an outside company or starting your own business.

However, what surprised Lin Puxiang even more was that this Sun Yuan did not refuse Lin Puxiang's invitation, but discussed the issue of treatment with him very formally.

Lin Puxiang originally came with a fluke mentality, but he didn't expect that Sun Yuan did not refuse.

But when he heard Sun Yuan's request, he finally knew why Sun Yuan refused the invitation of other companies or investors.

This man is indeed as rumored, with great ambitions!

Sun Yuan proposed two options for him, one is that Sun Yuan directly joined Xuzhou Iron and Steel Company and directly led the research of various alloy steels, but he asked for 15% of the shares, and also needed a one-time franchise fee of 100,000 yuan.

The second option is that Xuzhou Iron and Steel Company can choose to invest in the iron and steel enterprises he founded himself, specifically Xuzhou Iron and Steel Company will invest 100,000 yuan to buy 35 percent of the shares, and then unilaterally inject 300,000 yuan.

These two choices, no matter which one they are, Lin Puxiang has discovered that Sun Yuan has a direct request to withdraw 100,000 yuan of funds!

And this money is not an investment, but it is directly given to him personally, which makes Lin Puxiang have to be cautious.

He didn't care why Sun Yuan wanted this money or what he was doing with it, but 100,000 yuan was not a small amount.

No wonder they didn't negotiate with other companies or investors!

Investing 100,000 yuan in a new company to serve as R&D funds and directly giving 100,000 yuan to Sun Yuan are two different things.

Sun Yuan also did not give an answer at the first time, but said that he should consider it.

The annual profit of Xuzhou Iron and Steel Company is only two or three hundred thousand, and the total value of the assets of the entire Xuzhou Iron and Steel Company is about 17.8 million.

Sun Yuan asked for 100,000 yuan for a mouth, and Lin Puxiang had to think carefully.
