"What was the contract for delayed delivery at the beginning?" Lu Qiujian asked Li Yan, who had just finished accepting the atomic clock, he was not sure if this delay was a temptation by the opposition forces, but in order to avoid such a situation often in the future, he absolutely could not do nothing this time.

"The contract stated that the delay period was reasonably fluctuating within three days, and there were no penalties. Li Yan shrugged and replied, this action reminded people that he was a white man after all.

"Does this mean that the other party is not in breach of contract?" Lu Qiujian knocked on the table depressedly and asked unwillingly, "What about our payment time?"

"The contract divides the payment into three parts, the first part is the advance payment, which will be paid to the other party's account after the contract is signed; the second part will be paid to the other party's account within one week after the product is delivered and inspected and accepted; and the last part is the deposit, which will be paid to the other party after the atomic clock has been used for one year and there are no major failures!" Li Yan remembered the terms of the contract very clearly.

"Then get stuck before the deadline agreed in the contract and pay them again!" Since the other party's means are within the scope of the contract, Lu Qiujian will also return it in the same way, hoping that those cooperative units can clearly understand their own meaning and not have a similar situation again.

"There will be similar cooperation in the future, the terms of the contract may as well be stricter, it is still in the preliminary preparation stage, and the time requirements are quite relaxed.

"Okay, I'm already preparing for these!" Li Yan was not surprised, he was very experienced in this area and knew what to do.

Seeing that he hadn't meant to leave after the matter was over, Lu Qiujian asked, "Is there anything else I need to solve?"

"That's right. Our department is planning to bring in a talent who is a Ph.D. student at MIT with excellent professional skills, and my colleagues and I are eager to join our team!" Li Yan handed over the man's resume as he reported.

"Isn't it up to you to call these questions?" Lu Qiujian asked with some confusion, the members of the core team have to be personally reviewed one by one, but the personnel in each team can be reviewed by their own department heads, what does Li Yan mean by telling me this now?

After asking, Lu Qiujian opened his resume, hey, hey, he is still an alumnus! Lu Qiujian saw that the resume of this young scientist named Li Long was very dazzling, and after graduating from the physics department of Beijing Normal University, he went to the United States. When he attended the annual meeting of the Plasma Physics Branch last year, he was also invited to give a special report, and after getting his Ph.D., he chose to return to China like Lu Qiujian.

The Plasma Physics Branch is one of the larger physics branches in the United States, and many of the figures in the association are core members of the National Ignition Device of the United States, and it has proved that Li Long has the level of this field by gaining their recognition and getting the opportunity to give a report at the annual meeting.

"Such a talent must definitely stay!" Lu Qiujian said with great interest, and he even wanted to let him serve as an assistant in plasma after a period of training.

"But when I called him to report on it, he told me that he had found a job!" Li Yan shook his head helplessly and said.

"Oh, where did you go, the EAST Research Center in Anhui Province, the Huaguo Academy of Sciences?" Lu Qiujian guessed where he was going one after another. "It's okay, tell me his unit, and I'll go to their leaders and dignitaries. ”

"No, he went to a financial company!" Li Yan's answer was a little unexpected by Lu Qiujian.

"Hmm, why?" asked Lu Qiujian, puzzled. This Dr. Li Long clearly has a bright future in science, but why did he give up? Wouldn't it be good to go to Wall Street if he went to a financial company? Why should he return to China?

"Because of the salary!" Li Yan replied depressedly, "He said during the interview that he knew that there was a big gap between the domestic research environment and the United States. But as long as we can give him an annual salary of 120,000 a year, he is willing to stay, but you know, our salary is not up to that number, and he is now working in this financial company for an annual salary of 400,000 yuan. I guess that's the biggest reason he made this decision!"

"This is indeed a problem!" Lu Qiujian leaned back in his chair in distress, rubbing his temples with his right hand, he had only been in charge of Xihe for a short time, and there were many systems that continued to continue the past conventions in the field of scientific research in China, even the salary was the same.

In today's media propaganda, people like to give praise to admired scientists, such as being willing to be poor and thrifty, as if they didn't need money at all, so the last time Lu Qiujian took over the imperial court, they were so surprised to see the million-dollar bicycle.

In the early years, the state could not afford to give too many material rewards to scientists, so it had to replace them with spiritual rewards, but when the economy came up, this model was continued; except for the Huaguo Science and Technology Commendation Conference, which raised the bonus, the material rewards did not increase much.

As a result of this kind of propaganda, the vast majority of people regard poverty as the label of successful scientists, and Lu Qiujian feels that this viewpoint is extremely inappropriate! Why should scientists be willing to be poor? I am busy with experiments and writing papers and have no time to spend money, but you absolutely cannot think that scientists do not need to eat the fireworks of the world because of this!

Lu Qiujian still remembers that after Yuan Lao won the highest national science and technology award in China, because of the 5 million yuan bonus, it caused a huge controversy in the society, until people saw Yuan Lao on TV after winning this prize still maintained a simple style that he stopped the argument contentedly, and pretended to admire and said, look, this is the real scientist

In Lu Qiujian's view, even if he was given 500 million yuan, it was not too much, and besides, 4.5 million yuan of the 5 million yuan was given to him for scientific research funds, and as for the personal reward, only 500,000 yuan was awarded; 500,000 yuan, and there were many enterprise executives in the capital who received much more year-end bonuses than this.

"You call him, make an appointment and I'll talk to him!" Lu Qiujian thought for a moment, sat up straight and said. (To be continued.) )
