Chapter 413: Loosen up
"Mr. Fang, to be honest, you are the most sincere one of all the people who poached me, including the national team! Personally, I'm very impressed! β
Professor Yang worded and apologized: "But for some personal reasons, so, I'm sorry!" β
Personal reasons?
That's a broad excuse, isn't it?
And what reason can it be more important than me offering such a generous package?
Fang Ping frowned, pondered hard, suddenly remembered something, his brows stretched, and finally understood that what else was more important to Professor Yang than to offer such a generous treatment.
That is the University of Ghania where Professor Yang is located, and after Professor Yang was awarded the Young Scientist General of the United States Materials Association this year, he was officially hired as a tenured professor by the University of Ghania.
This position is not subject to the consideration of various teaching and scientific research work of the university, and there is no pressure to dismiss. You can also enjoy the stipend of a tenured professor at the school, so you can devote yourself to academic research.
The most important thing is that before being hired, people who apply for tenure professorship need to spend five years as a probationary period, and if they are evaluated correctly, and meet the criteria for tenure, they can be hired as tenured professors.
Calculating the time, the University of California's hiring of Professor Yang should be on the way.
In other words, it took Professor Yang five years to survive the probationary period. Seeing that he could fulfill his wish, he was hired as a tenured professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of California.
At this critical moment, even though he was well paid, how could he be willing to give up and work hard for many years.
Thinking of this, Fang Ping said tentatively: "Professor Yang, what you said about personal reasons, can you mean a tenured professor at the University of Ghana?" β
"How do you know?" Professor Yang was stunned, a little incredulous.
He knew that he had joined the University of Garnia four years earlier. And the condition for joining is to work for a full number of years and be hired as a tenured professor.
In other words, the appointment as a tenured professor at the University of Ghania was decided four years ago.
If it weren't for the fact that not long ago, when he won the Young Scientist Award of the Materials Association of the United States, the school vaguely mentioned that he would fulfill his promise and hire himself as a tenured professor at the University of Ghania in advance.
I almost forgot about it.
I didn't expect Fang Ping, a person who was far away in China, to know about this.
Fang Ping's heart tightened, and he said casually: "Oh, it's nothing, I have a partner in the country of Mi." I heard that I want to ask Professor Yang to join Xingchen Technology and reveal it to me! β
Professor Yang suddenly realized that indeed, with Fang Ping's energy, it was easy to know something.
The only thing that made him wonder was who revealed the news.
It is important to know that according to the regulations of the university, the list of tenured professors is kept secret before it is announced.
Now it is clear that someone has violated the rules.
"Professor Yang, I know that it is really difficult for you to suddenly give up the dream you have pursued for many years!"
Fang Ping looked at Professor Yang, changed his plan, and said: "But I hope you will seriously consider my proposal, although you joined Xingchen Technology and did not have the fame and honor obtained by being hired as a tenured professor, I can guarantee that you do not have any worries and concentrate on academic research!" β
"Thisβ" Professor Yang hesitated.
To be honest, Fang Ping's generous treatment and sincerity in digging him really made him feel excited.
But if you want to join Xingchen Technology, you have to give up your efforts over the years.
There is a little unwillingness.
Fang Ping saw that Professor Yang did not directly refuse, and made persistent efforts, from the general interests of the country, the prospects of domestic chips, to the refinement of the treatment provided, etc., and persuaded him bitterly.
Professor Yang is a good hand at scientific research, but when it comes to eloquence, vision, and pattern, it is a big step behind.
After some persuasion by Fang Ping, Professor Yang, who was already a little tempted by Fang Ping's generous treatment, finally relented and muttered: "That's it! Mr. Fang, you give me a little time to think about it, and I also need to discuss it with my family. β
"Don't worry, I will give you an answer as soon as possible!"
"No problem, that's as it should be!"
Even though Fang Ping really wanted Professor Yang to give a positive answer immediately, he also knew that it was not easy to persuade him to let go.
If it is pressed too tightly and causes Professor Yang to regret it, it will be more than worth the loss.
Professor Yang was slightly moved, and said sincerely: "Thank you Mr. Fang for your understanding!" β
"Professor Yang, that's so polite. Speaking of which, I would like to thank you, thank you for giving me a chance to Xingchen Technology! β
Fang Ping said with a smile, and then changed the topic and exchanged greetings with Professor Yang.
In the process of greetings, Fang Ping inadvertently revealed some business philosophy of Xingchen Technology, the demand for talents, etc., to deepen Professor Yang's understanding of Xingchen Technology and increase Professor Yang's bargaining chips that he tends to join Xingchen Technology.
Second, I also hope that when Professor Yang joins Xingchen Technology, he can bring his research team and related scientists to Xingchen Technology.
Professor Yang didn't hear Fang Ping's voice, and because he had already begun to consider joining Xingchen Technology, after hearing Fang Ping's detailed introduction to Xingchen Technology, he would ask two questions when he didn't understand something.
For Professor Yang's inquiry, Fang Ping was too late to be happy, how could he refuse.
But whenever Professor Yang asked questions, Fang Ping answered them all in 1510.
Fang Ping's honesty moved Professor Yang very much, and he vaguely felt that joining Xingchen Technology was not a bad thing. Moreover, Xingchen Technology is led by Fang Ping, a young but very strategic person, and the future is promising.
Gradually, time passed.
Almost an hour later, because Professor Yang was going to HKUST for an academic exchange, Fang Ping and Professor Yang ended their conversation.
Before parting, although Fang Ping still did not get an affirmative answer from Professor Yang, from the process of talking, he had already felt that Professor Yang had a certain inclination to join Xingchen Technology.
Subsequently, after Fang Ping saw Professor Yang away, seeing that the time was still early, he took out his mobile phone and made a call to President Hu, and after making an appointment to meet in the cafΓ©, he sat back and waited.
After a while, Principal Hu, who had put down what he was doing, hurriedly came to the cafΓ©, found Fang Ping's location, and walked over.
The first sentence asked, "How did you talk to Xiao Yang?" β
"It went well! He has promised me that he will consider joining Xingchen Technology! Speaking of this, Fang Ping said a little proudly.
Principal Hu was stunned and said, "Xiao Yang actually let go? What did you say to him? β
"Nothing! It's those routines, talking about feelings, righteousness, and treatment! Fang Ping shrugged his shoulders and said.
President Hu rolled his eyes, not believing Fang Ping's words, if Professor Yang could be poached so easily, Professor Yang would have been poached by HKUST a long time ago.
can also wait until Fang Ping digs people.
Thinking about it, he was a little curious: "By the way, what kind of treatment did you give him?" β
"Two points of Xingchen Technology shares, and a world's most advanced laboratory!" Fang Ping said with a smile.
Hiss!
Principal Hu took a breath of cold air, what a big stroke, Fang Ping is so bold!
Although Xingchen Technology has always been very low-key and does not have an obvious valuation, judging from the amount of funds invested by Fang Ping, the value is at least tens of billions of US dollars.
Two points of shares are hundreds of millions of dollars.
And it is not fixed, and it will continue to grow with the growth of Xingchen Technology.
There are also state-of-the-art laboratories in the world.
As the vice president of the university, he knows too much about scientific research laboratories.
In particular, the laboratory for Professor Yang to do experiments is hundreds of millions of dollars out.
In other words, Fang Ping paid at least nearly a billion dollars in order to dig up Professor Yang.
Thinking about it, Principal Hu sighed: "No wonder you can convince Xiao Yang, no one can refuse the treatment you offer!" β
"Since it's digging people, of course you have to be sincere!" Fang Ping shrugged.
The corners of Principal Hu's mouth twitched, and suddenly he didn't want to talk to Fang Ping, but he couldn't help but say it, so he changed the topic and said, "Say it!" What are you asking me to come over? β
"It's not too early! I want to meet Professor Xia Mingquan, please make an appointment for me, President Hu! Fang Ping said with a smile.
Principal Hu frowned: "Now? β
"What? Is there a problem? Fang Ping said busily.
Principal Hu shook his head: "There is no problem, it's just that I can't leave now because of something." Even if I make an appointment with Lao Xia, you can only go by yourself! β
"Uh, it's okay, I'll go by myself!" Fang Ping thought for a moment.
He didn't want to trouble Principal Hu too much.
It's hard to repay the debt of love!
Principal Hu nodded: "Since that's the case, then I'll call you and ask!" β
Yin fell, in front of Fang Ping, made a phone call and went out.
After saying a few words, President Hu hung up the phone and replied: "I have already asked, Lao Xia is now in office 320 of the No. 3 office building of Agricultural University. β
"If you have time, just go and find him, and that's it!"
"Okay, I'll go find Professor Xia Mingquan now!"
Fang Ping thought about it, exchanged a few more words with Principal Hu, and left the cafΓ© together.
After leaving the cafΓ©, Fang Ping and President Hu separated, took Ye Kai and others, drove the Audi car provided by President Hu, and went to the campus of Agricultural University.
