"Mr. Shubnikov, as we have just said, this condition can be discussed. You can tell us what you want, and we will consider it according to your situation. Xiao Weihao said calmly.

With a hint of arrogance on his face, Shubnikov said: "You should know that in terms of austenitic superalloys, there are few people in the world who can reach my level, and there is not a single one in China. Your conditions are too incommensurate with my level. If you had come with such conditions, I don't think there would be any need for us to continue talking. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Weihao and Liu Hang's faces changed. Liu Hang is doing this business, so he naturally knows that Shubnikov's words are right, if there are experts in China who are of the same level as him, why did Liu Hang go all the way to the Soviet Union to invite him? However, it is precisely because of Shubnikov's high level that the military has put forward such conditions for the introduction, at least in the eyes of the Science and Industry Commission, this condition is commensurate with Shubnikov's status, why does the other side say that there is no need to talk about it?

As for what kind of treatment Shubnikov could get in the Soviet Union, the Commission of Science and Technology has also seriously investigated. In previous years, a specialist like Shubnikov was indeed well paid, as evidenced by the fact that he is now able to live in a small independent western-style building. However, after Goetz came to power, he pursued "new thinking" and pursued "reconciliation" with the West, and the military industry was increasingly neglected, and Shubnikov's treatment plummeted. Compared with his current situation, the conditions given by the Chinese side should be very good.

Of course, experts of the same level as Shubnikov will indeed be treated better in European and American countries than in China, which is why China does not go to Europe and the United States to poach people. If Shubnikov could go to the West, he could naturally ask for better treatment. But the problem is that there is no shortage of experts like him in Western countries, and if he wants to go, he can only demote himself to the rank and become someone else's assistant, and talk about how he is treated. Just the difference in status, presumably this bullish brother can't accept it, right?

All these causes and consequences have been seriously discussed by the Science and Technology Commission, which is why Liu Hang and Xiao Weihao were sent to contact Shubnikov. According to Liu Hang's idea, Shubnikov may put forward some higher demands, but this attitude of rejection is something he did not expect.

As for Xiao Weihao, although he doesn't know much about professional knowledge, Shubnikov is a person of what status. He still knows. The other side is obviously trying to open his mouth in this way, which is undoubtedly unacceptable to the Chinese side. But Shubnikov let out such words, and he really didn't know how to respond for a while.

"Mr. Shubnikov, what kind of conditions do you think are acceptable?" Liu Hang endured it and asked the other party.

Shubnikov stretched out three fingers and said, "At least." It should be increased by a factor of three on the basis of the conditions you have proposed. ”

"It's impossible." Liu Hang blurted out. Fortunately, the Russian he learned was taught by serious people, and he didn't learn any Russian scolding, otherwise I am afraid that he would inevitably be exposed.

Triple the salary, why don't you grab it! Liu Hang scolded in his heart. The triple treatment is already far beyond the standard given to experts by Western countries, and with such money, is it necessary for the Commission of Science and Technology to go to the Soviet Union through such private channels to poach people? If you put up a recruitment notice in the international headhunting market, I'm afraid you can find people, right?

To put it bluntly, Shubnikov has grasped the weakness of the Chinese side, knowing that China's aviation field is still quite backward in terms of engine materials, and is eager to catch up with the world's advanced level. So there is an urgent need for experts like him to join. With the capital to blackmail the other party, he also has the courage to ask for a sky-high price.

Xiao Weihao also took a deep breath, suppressed the evil fire in his belly, and then said in the most peaceful tone possible:

"Mr. Shubnikov, as you know, China is a developing country with a level of economic development that lags far behind the Soviet Union. We have already shown our sincerity by offering you a better salary than in the Soviet Union. You are talking about a three-fold increase in salary, which we can't do now anyway. However, we can promise that as China's economic situation improves, the treatment given to you will gradually increase, and finally reach a satisfactory process, what do you think? ”

"With an annual salary of $100,000, can't the Chinese military come up with such a little money?" Shubnikov asked.

Xiao Weihao smiled bitterly: "If it only involves you alone, even if it is 200,000 US dollars, I think we can take it out." However, there are thousands of experts in our system, and it is impossible for you to improve the salary of only one person, and if everyone's treatment is increased at the same time, it is not something we can afford. ”

"I'm not like them." Shubnikov said proudly.

Nima! Xiao Weihao greeted Shubnikov's ancestors in his heart, what is the difference between you and others, even if you are a big bull in a certain aspect, but the military industry is not only in your aspect. You are great at working on high-temperature materials, and you are also engaged in structure, and you are also engaged in avionics, which field is there not a few gods of your level? China's local cattle, the highest annual salary is 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, people are also working diligently, you rely on your own ability, the nose is a little higher than others, dare to offer an annual salary of 100,000 US dollars?

I thought so in my heart, but Xiao Weihao couldn't say it. They are here to poach people, not to scold the streets, and even if they fail to poach Shubnikov this time, they will at least have to maintain friendship with each other, even if it is one-sided. Maybe after a while, they will have to come back to beg this great god to come out of the mountain.

Xiao Weihao could only stand up, politely nod to Shubnikov and say goodbye, persuade the other party to reconsider China's conditions, and said that the Chinese side is willing to make some concessions, but it is far from the level required by Shubnikov. Shubnikov did not say anything to death, but also said that he was very interested in the invitation of the Chinese side, and hoped that the Chinese side would think about it again and give him a treatment equivalent to his status.

Shubnikov's statement was in Xiao Weihao's expectations. He saw that Shubnikov's current situation was not good, although Niu said that he was an expert, but the Soviet Union did not need him, the West did not need him, and as for the small countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America, it was even more impossible to want him. His only way out was to go to China, unless he was willing to live in poverty. What he is relying on now is that China urgently needs his technology, and he wants to take advantage of China's weakness to fight for better conditions for himself.

As a negotiation technique, Xiao Weihao can consider categorically refusing, and then walk away, believing that Shubnikov will eventually be unable to bear it, and Xiao Weihao will bow his head in the opposite direction. However, this skill is a contest of patience on both sides, and Shubnikov may be able to afford to wait, but can China afford to wait? Besides, who knows if Shubnikov will really make a mistake and not bow his head alive or dead, won't this make things even more stiff?

The three of them went out with their heads down, Shubnikov just delivered to the door, watched them take a few steps, and then closed the door. This kind of behavior is undoubtedly very impolite, but it also shows that Shubnikov has an attitude, that is, he does not take the other party seriously.

"Let's go, let's go to the next one first." Xiao Weihao pretended to be smiling and said to Liu Hang and Qin Hai.

"What did you just say?" It was only at this time that Qin Hai had the opportunity to inquire about what had just happened. The dialogue between Xiao Weihao, Liu Hang and Shubnikov has always been conducted in Russian, and Qin Hai can't understand it, and it's not convenient to ask, so I don't know where they disagreed.

"The price is skyrocketing!" Liu Hang said hatefully, and then briefly repeated the conversation process just now to Qin Hai. Qin Hai listened very carefully, and in some places he even asked Shubnikov's original words, and then savored the other party's intentions.

"Xiao Qin, you don't have to analyze. This guy surnamed Shu wants to go to China to work in his heart, don't look at him as a cow, in fact, life is also very poor, which can be seen from his wife's dress. However, he was sure that we needed his skills, so he insisted on treating us with us. It's inconvenient for us to refuse now, and the next step is to see who can beat whom. Xiao Weihao said the mystery.

"He said he was one of the top bulls in the world?" Qin Hai asked.

Liu Hang nodded and said: "It's not that he brags, he does have a few brushes in terms of austenitic superalloys." And this problem is a roadblock that plagues our engine research, and our country is too far behind in this field. ”

"Does this guy know English?" Qin Hai asked again.

"How?" Xiao Weihao was a little surprised, and he didn't know why Qin Hai asked such a question.

Qin Hai said: "If he understands English, I plan to talk to him and extinguish his prestige." If he doesn't know English, it's not easy. You two have been talking to him for so long, and if you come to me as an interpreter now, he will have some trouble on his face. What these intellectuals want is face. ”

"He understands English." Liu Hang affirmed, "On his bookshelf, there are many books in the original English edition. It is impossible for a scholar like him not to know English. However, Xiao Qin, how do you want to extinguish his prestige, his achievements in his field are not bluffs, not to mention you, even if it is me, if you want to talk to him in terms of technology, you can only bow down. ”

"Hehe, he's not bluffing, but he can't stand my bluff." Qin Hai said with a smile, "That's it, you two go and sit in the car, and I'll go back and talk to him." Don't worry, I'm just going to ask for questions, and it's really inappropriate, and it won't affect your affairs. (To be continued......)
