Chapter 471

The Thousand Talents Program, also known as the Overseas High-level Talent Introduction Program.

It is mainly around the national development strategic objectives, and at the same time, all provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) have also introduced a number of overseas high-level talents in a targeted manner in combination with the needs of economic and social development and industrial restructuring in their own regions.

Most of the talents introduced by the Thousand Talents Program will flow into major universities, national key innovation projects, disciplines, laboratories, central enterprises and state-owned commercial financial institutions, and various parks mainly in high-tech industrial development zones.

In addition, for the high-level talents who are introduced, regardless of whether they have Chinese nationality or not, they enjoy quite generous treatment.

Since its implementation in 2008, the Thousand Talents Program has introduced more than 3,000 high-end talents in various fields to China, which has played an indispensable role in the development of domestic science and technology.

This year, the third batch of Thousand Talents Program projects will be launched.

Academician Zhou meant to let Cheng Nuo respond positively to this plan as soon as possible.

After all, Cheng Nuo now has a high status among Chinese mathematicians stranded abroad.

Cheng Nuo took the initiative to return to China, although he could not achieve the effect of responding to all calls, but at least he could play an exemplary and leading role.

This is quite beneficial to the smooth implementation of the Thousand Talents Plan.

............

After discussing specific matters with Academician Zhou and saying goodbye to each other, Cheng Nuo returned to the hotel room.

Two days later.

The 1st International Geometry Symposium was successfully concluded.

Outside, the news about the solution of the two major problems of the minimalist program is still fermenting.

It looks like it's going to keep the heat hot for a few days.

Cheng Nuo and Professor Fresnel boarded the plane back to MIT.

On the plane, Cheng Nuo looked at Professor Fresnel who was leisurely drinking a cup of coffee from time to time, and stopped talking.

"Cheng, look at you, do you seem to have something to say to me?" Professor Fresnel put his coffee on the small table.

Cheng Nuo clenched his hands tightly, not daring to look directly into Professor Fresnel's eyes, "Professor, I think, I'm leaving." ”

Professor Fresnel was stunned, "Where's the departure?" ”

Cheng Nuo opened his mouth and slowly spit out two words, "Return to China." ”

"What?!" Professor Fresnel jerked up, nearly knocking over his coffee, "HY?"

"Could it be that you are not satisfied with the treatment given to you by MIT? If this is the reason, I will make the decision and give you 10% of the income of our office!"

"No, no, no, the treatment I received from the academy has been very satisfying. Cheng Nuo explained, "Professor, I have a reason why I have to go back. ”

"My country needs me!" Cheng Nuo's voice was sonorous.

A look of surprise, bewilderment appeared on Professor Fresnel's face.

Professor Fresnel, who has lived in a scientific and technological power like the United States since he was a child, does not understand Cheng Nuo's behavior.

"Is there no room for negotiation?" Professor Fresnel said with reluctance.

This student is one of his best students!

Cheng Nuo's face was bitter, "Professor, I hope you can understand me." ”

"Alas!" Professor Fresnel leaned back in his chair and said no more.

Cheng Nuo pursed his lips, his mood was equally heavy.

Mit.

Faculty of Mathematics Building, Dean's Office.

After hearing the news that Cheng Nuo was going back to China, the dean also hurriedly called Cheng Nuo to the office to keep him.

Today's Cheng Nuo has grown from a rising star with great potential to an excellent mathematician who can take charge of himself.

Professor Cheng Nuo and Professor Fresnel have become two living signboards of the MIT School of Mathematics.

In less than a year, thanks to the existence of these two, MIT has become the world's center for geometry research.

Moreover, maintaining the current momentum, Cheng Nuo's future Fields Medal is almost certain.

But now Cheng Nuo said that he would return to China.

They knew very well that once Cheng Nuo returned to China, it would be a great loss to their college.

The dean personally dispatched in the hope that Cheng Nuo would change his mind.

"Professor Cheng, we are willing to increase your annual salary by another 500,000 yuan, and immediately let you lead a national key scientific research project, we only hope that you can consider it and continue to stay in our school. The dean persuaded him bitterly.

But Cheng Nuo was unmoved.

He smiled bitterly, "Dean, you don't need to increase your chips. As you know, there are still many gaps in the mathematical strength of our country from the world level, and they need me. ”

The dean still did not give up, "Professor Cheng, don't you have a saying in China, don't you say that science has no borders? Wouldn't it be better for you to stay here and contribute your own strength to the development of mathematics in the world." ”

"Dean, you shouldn't know, there is a second half of this sentence. Cheng Nuo grinned, "Although science has no borders, scientists have a motherland!"

"Then if you agree, I will change you to a Mi nationality immediately. The dean said immediately.

Cheng Nuo's face turned dark, "I'm not rare." ”

The conversation ended unpleasantly.

Cheng Nuo also got news from Academician Zhou that the third batch of "Thousand Talents Plan" implemented by the Ministry of Education of China will be launched on August 12.

Counting the time, there is less than a month to go.

At the same time, Tsinghua University also began to contact Cheng Nuo by email.

The content of the discussion is nothing more than the conditions such as treatment and position.

According to the domestic professional job rating, university teachers are divided into four levels: assistant lecturer, lecturer, associate professor, and professor.

Professors are divided into three levels.

The first level is a full professor who has been selected through a formal process.

Among them, scholars are selected or introduced by the Changjiang Scholars Award Program, the Young Talent Development Program, and the Overseas High-level Talent Introduction Program.

The highest class is the academician directly selected by the Huaguo Academy of Sciences and the Huaguo Academy of Engineering.

Once Cheng Nuo returns to China, he is second only to academician-level bigwigs in his professional positions.

Tsinghua University is talking about making Cheng Nuo the position of deputy head of a mathematics department.

But Cheng Nuo doesn't like this kind of "official position".

So, after discussion, Cheng Nuo's position became the deputy director of the Institute of Mathematics of Tsinghua University.

As for the qualifications of supervisors, Cheng Nuo obtained the qualification of doctoral supervisor by participating in any assessment, that is, Cheng Nuo has the right to take doctoral students.

Welfare.

The salary is certainly not comparable to that of MIT.

When he was an associate professor, Cheng Nuo's annual salary was $800,000, and by the time he was promoted to full professor, his annual salary was already $1.2 million.

However, the annual salary given by Tsinghua University is only 600,000 RMB.

Cheng Nuo didn't care about this, so he didn't dwell on this place.

At the same time, in addition to the 600,000 RMB, the Ministry of Education will unilaterally give Cheng Nuo a settling-in allowance of 2 million RMB.

Although this amount of money can't even afford to buy a toilet in a real estate near Tsinghua University, fortunately, Tsinghua University arranged a place for Cheng Nuo to live in the professor's apartment.
