"At that time, when I signed the contract with this company, I signed a three-year contract, and if I terminated the contract early, I would need to pay liquidated damages, which were three times the signing fee!" Li Long felt extremely regretful, if Lu Qiujian had come a week earlier, there would have been no such trouble, but now he has been tied to the contract.

"You have just joined the company, it should be regarded as a probationary period, isn't it possible to leave on your own?" Lu Qiujian also frowned.

"I don't have a probationary period, I signed a formal contract directly!" At the end of the interview, this was still his pride, but now it has become a burden.

Also, of course, such an excellent talent does not need to be constrained by the probation period, Li Yan couldn't help but interject and ask, "How much signing fee did he give when he signed the contract?"

"The signing fee is 100,000 yuan, which means that if I want to terminate the contract now, I will have to pay 300,000 yuan in compensation!" Not to mention 300,000 yuan, even 100,000 yuan Li Long can't take it out now, as soon as the money arrived, he remitted 50,000 yuan to his family, and the rest of the rent and clothing were almost spent.

"100,000 yuan!" Li Yan couldn't help but smack his tongue, doing finance is really making money!

This amount of money is not a problem for Lu Qiujian, but he has no reason to pay liquidated damages for Li Long, and Xihe's planned property will not agree to this expense, even if he lends it to Li Long and then asks him to repay it in installments with his future salary, it seems that it is best to convince Li Long's company.

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

"This company is a branch of a small Wall Street company in China, and it has close contacts with the embassy of the United States, if you want to find a way from other aspects, I'm afraid it will not be easy to solve it!" Li Long thought that Lu Qiujian wanted to use official influence to test the company, and hurriedly persuaded him.

"Wall Street companies?" Lu Qiujian really thought about this method, if a domestic company found a representative from the official to make peace, presumably the other party would definitely give him this face, but foreign companies are different; it seems that they have to think of other methods. "What is the name of a Wall Street company, what is the personality of your boss, and is there a possibility of a negotiated settlement?"

"Our parent company is called Carlson Fund, which is named after the surname of Carlson, the founder of the company, who is a graduate of the Department of Mathematics at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, and who founded this company by relying on a set of algorithms that he has researched by himself! The owner of the Beijing subsidiary is Carlson's partner in his early years, Mr. Myers, Mr. Myers is a strict person who attaches great importance to contracts, and it may not be easy to convince him!" Li Long is not very optimistic that this matter can be resolved peacefully.

"It's okay, everything is discussed!" Lu Qiujian seemed to have an idea, "It's a little late today, tomorrow you can see if you can ask Mr. Miles out." Let's talk about it. ”

"I'll give it a try! I'll call you as soon as there's any news!" Li Long was not very confident, but for the sake of his scientific research dream, he was still willing to try, even if he was scolded by the boss.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news!" Lu Qiujian and Li Long exchanged business cards, and then the two chatted for a while about plasma expertise.

As soon as he talked about professional issues, Li Long suddenly became energetic, and the tiredness of working overtime just now was swept away, and he unconsciously discussed the latest research results of major institutions in the world with Lu Qiujian.

This chat is more than two hours. It wasn't until the customers in the coffee shop were all gone that Li Long reluctantly said goodbye to Lu Qiujian, and after coming out, he asked Li Long's residence and found that it was not far from here. Lu Qiujian drove him home by the way, and then returned to his residence.

After coming back, Xia Xiao fell asleep, Lu Qiujian searched the Internet for information about the Carlson Fund, and after another hour, he returned to the bedroom and fell asleep slowly.

Things seem to be going well. Mr. Miles, who was strict in Li Long's mouth, happily accepted Lu Qiujian's invitation, and the two sides agreed to meet in the evening, and the place was still that café.

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

"That's probably because you're too busy at work! If you have time to go around Princeton. It's full of Fields Medal winners!" It's not far from Wall Street to Princeton.

"But they don't like people like me who always complain that Wall Street has robbed too many math geniuses!" Miles is not at all as serious as Lee Long said!

It seems that the matter of leaving the field of scientific research because the salary cannot keep up with it is not only happening in China! However, the salary of scientific researchers in the United States can basically meet their expenses for maintaining a middle-class life, and Huaguo is not good.

The chat between the two sides was very pleasant at first, but when Lu Qiujian talked about Li Long's problem, Miles returned to his true colors as a businessman, "Professor Lu, I understand very well the importance of a genius for scientific research! But I also understand how much profit a genius can create in the financial market! I cherish Li's smart brain as much as you do!"

"So, are you going to let him go?" Lu Qiujian pondered what kind of conditions he would offer.

"A contract is a contract, and since Li has signed the contract and received the signing fee, he should have worked for the company for three years according to the contract! Of course, he can leave if he wants, and he only needs to pay 300,000 liquidated damages! I think according to Li's ability, he will soon make up this amount!" Miles replied with his hands outstretched.

"We all know that time is as valuable as scientific research and financial markets!, and 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, the coffee spoon stirred in the quilt for a moment, as if judging how much Lu Qiujian was willing to pay for Li Long, and after a minute he raised his head again, "Professor Lu, you are one of the best mathematicians in the world, I think you also understand the importance of mathematics to finance!"

"Yes, I know very well!" It was a pleasant memory of him, Patrice and Norman at Harvard making a fortune in the financial markets.

"Then I'll be blunt! As long as you are willing to do us a little favor in mathematics, then I will be happy to return Mr. Lee's contract to him, not only will he not have to pay liquidated damages, but he can also keep the signing fee himself!" )
