USTC[Note], United Textile Technologies, whether Duncan liked the name of the new company or not, is now its general manager. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

More important position, greater responsibility, busier work, more intense time...... These will be his future. Duncan knew that he would soon begin a life of traveling back and forth between the two shores of the Pacific, and that ocean liners would become one of his most frequently used means of transportation.

Thankfully, he didn't have to start this life right away, as Yi Shui was in Guangzhou Bay and Rachel would be over soon, and the initial work would be done by them, and he would just need to stay in San Diego to familiarize himself with the future work and the company's senior employees.

The part of the senior staff recommended by the Chicago Consortium and the Cleveland Consortium are on their way to San Diego, but only God knows where they are for the rest of the staff.

"Companies need to hire new people." Qin Lang said.

"Hmm." Duncan nodded.

Qin Lang continued: "The matter is done by the two of us. ”

"Why are we the only ones?"

"Because it's recruiting employees for your company."

So, as soon as the meeting was over, everyone got to work on what they had set out to do: Rachel packed his bags and headed to visit her in Canton Bay to visit Xiao Yishui and complete several important tasks at the same time, while O'Connor was busy cleaning out his office and preparing to move into his new place of work, as the small Pentagon was soon to be completed.

As for Qin Lang and Duncan, they only do one thing all day: interview the newcomers who come to apply.

Many newcomers: Qin Lang didn't fully tell Duncan that it wasn't just United Textile Technology that needed to hire employees, but that Viper Weapons, Umbrella, and Union Carbide needed to do the same, and that their recruitment efforts were significantly more troublesome.

The main problem was Union Carbide, which needed a university graduate with at least a bachelor's degree in chemistry and chemical engineering - a senior professional technician, but things were difficult.

The problem is in the number of such people. Chemistry professionals are very rare creatures in California, and they are concentrated in two main places: the university and Elizabeth's chemistry lab, so this raises the second question: whether some of the lab should be taken from the lab to Union Carbide or simply merged into the new company.

The answer is clear: "No." ”

Elizabeth didn't want to see her assistants leave behind the projects they were working on, even for a short time, and Qin Lang had his own concerns, he didn't want the secret research conducted by the chemistry lab to be exposed, so it was not a good choice to merge the lab into a new company or transfer researchers to the product research department of Union Carbide - so the answer was very clear.

But that meant they had to hire newcomers who had just left college, and that led to a third and most serious problem: As with any previous recruitment, Stanford and California graduates would give up as soon as they heard that their future department head was a young, beautiful woman.

No one wants to be dictated by a woman, and most importantly, she probably doesn't even know what chemistry is - it's not true, but they prefer to think so.

Admitting that a woman is more adept at professional matters than herself is undoubtedly a more shameful thing than accepting her command.

Qin Lang understood their thoughts, but it didn't mean that he could accept their actions, because it meant that he had to waste more time and energy to persuade them - but before he couldn't bear it anymore, Duncan couldn't stand it in the first place.

Duncan yelled at the office after wasting half an hour of his hesitant job out of the office when Duncan yelled, "Hell, this is the first bastard we've ever met who decided to get his resume back as soon as he heard that Elizabeth would be his boss?" Thirteen, or fourteen? ”

"Fifteenth." Qin Lang was extremely reluctant to say this number, but added: "Compared with similar recruitments carried out before, this number is still not too high. ”

"But it's already high."

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Lang nodded. "Yes."

"We have to find a way to solve this, Qin. Can't go on like this forever, time is wasted by those bastards! ”

Yes, there has to be a way - but the point is, what way? Qin Lang needed a completely credible person to represent himself in the combined alkali production process and ammonia synthesis process, as well as the new technologies that might be applied in the future, so the head of the product development department of the new company had to be Elizabeth, which was the first and unshakable premise, but it was also the source of the problem.

It's always good to listen to other people, though. Qin Lang looked at Duncan. "In order to speed up our process, I would like to listen to your suggestion."

Duncan looked thoughtful. "This stubbornness is based on discrimination against women, and it's hard to get around it, so why don't we put a trustworthy man in charge of the entire research department?"

"Do you have any candidates for this 'trustworthy male'?"

"Of course." Duncan looked up, "That person is you, Qin." You can lead the research department yourself, and there is no better person in the professional field than you. ”

Let Qin Lang replace Elizabeth, he thinks it's a good idea, but in fact it's an even worse idea. Qin Lang sighed. "Duncan, don't you know the reality at all? Compared to women, the nerds didn't admit that the Chinese could accomplish anything in the natural sciences. ”

And this argument has risen to the level of racial superiority...... No, it was founded on the theory of racial superiority from the outset: white people believe that the inability of colored people to achieve scientific research is due to their innate mental retardation due to racial differences, and although it is absurd, and there are countless examples of its absurdity in the past and in the future, at least for now.

Of course, Qin Lang is willing to give the racists some resounding slaps in the face - in fact, he has been slapping them all the time, but the priority now is not to teach the racists a lesson, but to find a sufficient number of chemical technicians, and replacing Elizabeth with him will only make recruitment more difficult.

"If we can convince a candidate who is skeptical of Elizabeth in half an hour, I'm afraid it will take us an hour to convince a guy who is skeptical of me." He said.

"But you've achieved a lot of results," Duncan emphasizes, "especially in chemistry, and Elizabeth is almost your student, and all of her research is done under your direction." ”

"That's true, Duncan. But you know these things, I know, but do those candidates know? Qin Lang shook his head, "Elizabeth's research must be kept secret. So in the eyes of everyone, I was just a successful firearms expert, businessman and speculator, but there was no evidence that I was a chemist. ”

"In that case, there is no way to do it." Now, Duncan has no choice but to admit that his idea is not feasible. Qin Lang wanted to keep the results he and Elizabeth had achieved in chemistry a secret, and of course those results should be kept strictly secret, but it also brought things to an impasse.

He thinks he can only continue to waste time and energy, convincing a candidate for half an hour, or shaking his attitude.

What an unfortunate situation. He thought, his mood becoming depressed.

But at this time, Qin Lang fell into deep thought. Duncan's advice gave him some hints, in short, that as long as it could be shown that he and Elizabeth had made significant achievements in the field of chemical research, mainstream society would have to put aside their prejudices and the company's recruitment efforts would go smoothly......

It's not just a recruitment effort. Qin Lang continued to think about it. The commercial benefits are obvious: regardless of time or place, if a company intends to flaunt its technological prowess, it will always mention how many experts and highly educated professionals it has in the company - if it has not yet achieved research achievements worthy of boasting. Two leading experts in the field of chemical research, which can add a lot of color to the company's advertising campaign and further increase the sales of its products.

Of course, the personal benefits for him and Elizabeth are also very obvious. Normally, they would be awarded a doctorate title by a university or even a few universities, but if they are lucky enough and they accidentally get a bomb award from the Swedes, then they will no longer be just doctors, but visiting professors at universities, and maybe even enter the National Academy of Sciences.

Look, what a prospect it is. Only a bachelor's degree has always been a regret for Qin Lang, and Elisabeth, who didn't even get a bachelor's degree from the University of Berlin, never thought that she would be able to become a university professor one day...... The prospect is wonderfully intoxicating.

Then Qin Lang thought of the last thing that made him happy: if he could win the bomb prize, what would happen to those racists who firmly believed that yellow people were inferior in intelligence to white people? This slap was so loud.

He laughed happily, and laughed and laughed.

"What are you laughing at, Qin?"

"It's just that it occurred to me that your idea is actually a good idea."

Duncan was slightly surprised. "You don't mean ......"

"I reversed the order." Qin Lang said with a smile, "Recruiting technical personnel is the second step, and the first step is to come up with a research result." ”

"But you're saying Elizabeth's research needs to be kept secret."

"So, that's going to be a new research project."

The progress of the combined alkali production process and the ammonia synthesis process needs to be advanced.
