Generally speaking, after graduation, according to the student's own wishes, you can stay in school, you can also graduate, you can do what you like, but it is not easy to stay in school, you need to find a professor according to your own research direction, and pass the professor's assessment, after passing the professor's assessment, the students who become professors continue to stay in school, and at the same time serve as lecturers in the school, teaching those who have not yet graduated.

These graduates, even as lecturers, are also students of the professors, and only after their research has been recognized can they be awarded the title of associate professor.

As for the promotion of associate professor to full professor, it is also based on academic achievements.

So far, there are only 43 associate professors and 23 full professors at RML, and these 66 professors are all the accumulation of KLB over the past decade.

As for the level of lecturers, there are more than 300 people in total.

In the entire Royal Institute of Technology, there are only about 400 lecturers and professors combined, and almost every one of these 400 people is the most valuable scientific research talent in the empire.

Well, it is worth noting that the title of professor at the Royal Institute of Technology is different from the title of professor in ordinary universities, this title is not a job title in the Royal Institute of Technology, but a formal official position, and the full name of the position is "Bachelor of the Royal Professor", the meaning of the position is that Li Xuan authorized them to teach the princes, which is graded, and the associate professor is from the third grade, and the full professor is the third grade, and he can enjoy the relevant administrative treatment.

Of course, in fact, the title obtained by the professors of the Royal Institute of Technology is only a special honorary title, and it is impossible to really teach those princes, this is the same as many attendants and lecturers in the Hanlin Academy, this is just an honorary title, not that they really teach the princes.

Besides, although Li Xuan is a traverser, his genes belong to the ordinary level, and he really can't give birth to a demon with an IQ of about 200!

Li Xuan knew very well that with the IQ of his sons, he didn't need those professors from the Royal Institute of Technology to teach them classes, and he couldn't learn the most cutting-edge science and technology today.

Therefore, 'Giving Royal Professors and Bachelors' is just an honorary position, and it is almost the same concept as the attendants and lecturers of the Hanlin Academy, just to give these professors a more decent status and a higher grade.

And in the Royal Institute of Technology, let alone professors, even if they are freshmen at the Royal Institute of Technology, they are all high-grade officials!

In fact, not only the Royal Institute of Technology, but also the professors and teachers of other government-run schools also belong to the ranks of officials.

Even if it is a teacher in an ordinary local government-run primary school, it is also a grade, although it is only a low-level grade of eight or nine grades, but no matter what, this is a grade, and it belongs to the group that eats the country's imperial grain.

However, the level of teachers in ordinary government universities, middle schools, elementary schools, and other government schools belongs to the education system, which is different from that of ordinary administrative officials.

The education system, like the enterprise system of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, has its own set of evaluation standards for teachers' grades, and their grades only enjoy corresponding treatment, and do not have political power.

This kind of system was developed by Li Xuan with reference to the career establishment and civil service establishment of later generations, and its purpose was more to improve the social status of teachers, but it would not affect the administrative system.

After all, in the Tang Dynasty, it is still the official standard, those teachings in the pre-Ming Dynasty belong to the ranks of officials, and today's Tang Dynasty, even if it is an ordinary clerk who does things for the government, it belongs to the official body, and now the teachers in various schools you have made, this is a little unspeakable if you don't give them an official body.

The special system of the Royal Institute of Technology has also caused that unless it is a dropout student, there are very few graduates who go to the society to start a business, and occasionally graduates do not stay in school to teach, and usually go directly to higher education institutions, such as going to other universities and teachers to serve as department heads, presidents or something.

But at that time, there were five graduates who were unwilling to become professors or anything, and were willing to give up the official status of the fourth and third grades, and ran out to start a business, which shocked the jaws of a large number of people, and at the same time, it also attracted the investment of countless businessmen.

Since the establishment of AIA, there is a core R & D team, there are abundant resources, soon launched an improved loom production line, and seize the market, in order to avoid the early suppression by Zhaoqing Machinery Company and other machinery companies, they have focused on the market north of the Yangtze River from the beginning, and even registered the company in the Tianjin Business Zone.

Interestingly, their R&D facility is still located in Jinling.

Although Jinling City has the largest number of universities in the empire, a large number of talents emerge every year, and it is not possible to set up a nearby R&D institution to recruit talents.

AIA's dislocation competition allowed them to develop rapidly, and gradually extended their product lines to many textile equipment and other industrial equipment, and finally obtained the production authorization of steam engines, and became the third largest steam engine manufacturer in China in one fell swoop.

In the past year, the company has become Zhaoqing Machinery Company's biggest competitor in the market north of the Yangtze River!

At this time, the person in charge of Tianjin Youbang Company was standing next to Liu Ping!

This guy's name is Dong Haiqing, a person Liu Ping can't wait to throw him into the Pacific Ocean!

This guy is not a member of AIA's core entrepreneurial team, but for so many years, he has been the actual manager of AIA, and the core entrepreneurial team is only responsible for research and development, and operating the company is not their forte, so they invited outsiders to operate the company's business.

The person who was invited is Dong Haiqing, this person can be regarded as a famous person in the business world, before the empire has not engaged in an official stock exchange, that is, during the gold mine financial crisis, he worked in a fund company, a white wolf with empty gloves, and became rich overnight in the securities market, but the result is even more tragic, because he used inside information, maliciously manipulated stocks, embezzled investors' profits, etc., basically the empire's legal crimes against orders and prohibitions in the securities industry, he did everything he could, and he did what he couldn't!

As a result, he was arrested by the Economic Crime Section of the Shanghai Patrol Police Bureau, and then sentenced to three years, and at the same time sentenced to a ban on engaging in the securities industry.

After being released from prison, he continued to toss in business, I have to say, this person can indeed toss, business talent is not to say, and finally entered Zhaoqing Machinery Company, and once served as the manager of the Shanghai branch, and also served as the deputy general manager of the head office.

Then, he became a traitor, with almost the entire management team of the Shanghai branch to Tianjin AIA, became the general manager of AIA, he not only took people away, but also brought Zhaoqing Machinery Company years of accumulated management and production experience.

As a result, AIA has become the biggest competitor of Zhaoqing Machinery Company!

Perhaps sensing Liu Ping's malicious eyes, Dong Haiqing also turned his head and smiled!

Liu Ping scolded in his heart: Laugh at you paralyzed, you traitor!

It is worth noting that this job-hopping incident has led to many years of litigation between Zhaoqing Machinery Company and AIA Company on various patents, and it has not been fought until today.

This lawsuit also indirectly contributed to the introduction of a new law by the Ministry of Justice, which allows enterprises and some important core employees to sign non-compete agreements to prevent the disclosure of trade secrets. At the same time, it also stipulates that if the enterprise wants to sign a non-compete agreement, then it must give the employee more salary and other compensation, otherwise, it will not be approved by the court!

Well, yes, the signing of a non-compete agreement needs to be approved by the court before it can take effect!

If the company and the employee sign it on their own, but it is not approved by the court, it is invalid!

If a company can sign such an agreement with ordinary employees casually, wouldn't it tie up a large number of ordinary employees, and this kind of thing is something that the official level of the empire does not want to see.

The non-compete agreement hinders people's freedom of employment to a certain extent, and any subject of the empire has the right to free employment, and others have no right to stop what people want to do.

Nowadays, if a company wants to restrict the free employment rights of its employees, it naturally needs to pay a high price and obtain court approval.

The contradiction between Dong Haiqing and Liu Ping is the contradiction between Tianjin Youbang Machinery Company and Zhaoqing Machinery Company, and it is also the contradiction between the old enterprise and the new enterprise.

As for how many sparks can be triggered, it is unknown.

Li Xuan didn't care about the thoughts of his subjects, and now he only cared about it, and that was the mass production prototype of the high-pressure steam engine!

As for the costs, R&D expenses, and market competition that the courtiers are concerned about, Li Xuan doesn't care about it or not, anyway, they are all enterprises of the empire, and whoever produces it is the same for Li Xuan.

All he had to do was see the high-pressure steam engine being loaded onto warships, onto trains, and into the major factories to inject a new shot in the arm for the industrial development of the Empire.

After the group entered the building, it didn't take long for Li Xuan to see the prototype of the high-pressure steam engine!

This steam engine was completely different from many steam engines he had seen before, and the biggest difference was: small!

The small size and light weight are the biggest advantages of the high-pressure steam engine compared with the low-pressure steam engine, and it is also the most valued advantage by people!

Li Xuan was thoughtful when he saw such a small steam engine, but the others were even more surprised when they saw it!
