After entering the elevator, Cheng Yu said: "Wu Gong, the Li Gong you mentioned, where is he now?

Wu Jing sighed and said, "For a scientist like him, it is very difficult to change jobs. ”

Cheng Yu was stunned.

In his opinion, Li Dali is so important that after he is missing, several projects that have been in the market for several years but are still in the leading position in the market cannot be carried out, and such talents must be very concerned by enterprises with R&D functions.

Although he didn't know what the content of the primary mission was, Cheng Yu felt that it must be more than just finding Li Dali, and most likely to persuade him to return to the research institute.

And this is not just something that can be done with a high salary.

After all, Li Dali has left the institute, and no matter what, the R&D department of any enterprise must still be a pivotal figure. It is impossible for the other party not to realize his importance, and Li Dali resigned for the sake of treatment, and in the past few years, the salary level must have reached a very high level.

To put it bluntly, although Cheng Yu offered Wu Jing a high salary of one million per year, for a senior engineer like Wu Jing who can be the leader of the project, the annual salary of one million is not high enough.

Other companies, in the face of people like Wu Jing, dare not say that the conditions they can offer are necessarily better than those offered by Cheng Yu, but they will never be worse.

Solving the problems of housing, driving vehicles, etc., between Wu Jing and Cheng Yu, does not exist at present.

Even a direct annual salary will never be the highest price that can be given in the market.

It's not that Cheng Yu is also picking on the door in this regard, but he feels that if the position is set too high at the beginning, it will not be conducive to Wu Jing's next work. Only step by step, when Wu Jing's research and development has achieved phased results, he will also discuss with Xue Changyun and give Wu Jing and the researchers involved in the project certain benefits or rewards.

After all, all the members of the institute, including Wu Jing, used to be treated in a big pot of rice, and even if there was a formed project, the rewards given by the state were not worth mentioning. They need Cheng Yu to gradually guide them and shift their way of thinking from state-owned units to marketization, which will take a process.

And Li Dali is different.

He left his post outright.

After going out, as long as he has been in contact with a few companies, these companies will definitely offer high salaries and various welfare conditions when they are in urgent need of talents like him, even if Li Dali is not very suitable at that time, over the years, he has already changed to a new owner, and naturally has understood the concept of market-oriented private enterprises.

In the face of a familiar environment and a stable R&D team, no matter how high the salary you offer, it may not make him willing to return to the institute.

What's more, if Cheng Yu offered him extremely high treatment, what would Wu Jing and the others think? What did the other researchers think? Isn't it equal?

Therefore, it should not be too difficult to find Li Dali, and it is difficult to persuade him to leave his current work unit and return to the research institute.

The system gives a 42-day task duration, which fully explains the difficulty of this task.

Cheng Yu felt that since Wu Jing had been thinking about those projects, he would naturally pay attention to Li Dali, and maybe the two of them had always maintained a basic relationship. And Wu Jing must have hoped that Li Dali could return to the research institute, so he asked Wu Jing about Li Dali's whereabouts.

But who would have thought that Wu Jing's answer did not involve Li Dali's current whereabouts, on the contrary, it gave Cheng Yu new questions.

What does it mean that such a scientist has a high degree of difficulty in changing jobs?

What does that mean?

"Hmm, Wu Gong, what do you mean by that?"

Wu Jing sighed again and said, "Li Gong is doing basic data, modeling and designing the research and development direction of the entire project. Once such a person becomes the backbone of a research institute, it is naturally very important, after all, almost all the projects developed at that time were carried out according to his personal ideas, and others could not interfere at all. But because of this, he is not easily accepted by other research institutions......"

Cheng Yu understood.

It is precisely because Li Dali is often responsible for the most basic things of a R&D institution, so any R&D institution must have its own trained engineers.

Maybe Li Dali is more capable than the engineers of those R&D institutions, but if he is recruited, he will not be able to interfere in the existing projects of R&D institutions in a short period of time.

The only way to do this is to let him try new projects.

But he is only one person, and he does not have a complete R&D team, not to mention whether the researchers in the new unit can cooperate with him tacitly, and even whether those people are willing to accept him, even if all this is not a problem, then what should the engineer who was responsible for data modeling and design R&D ideas before that R&D institution do?

Li Dali gradually takes over new R&D projects, and the engineers who used to coincide with him will gradually lose their work.

This is obviously unacceptable to anyone.

Therefore, if a business leader chooses to join Li Dali in his R&D team, it means that a previous engineer will be kicked out in the near future.

Who would accept him in such a situation?

Unless, this company is willing to set up a new R&D team, and under the premise of not moving the old R&D team, the newly formed R&D team will be handed over to Li Dali to lead the team.

This creates a cost problem.

If Li Dali wants to find a suitable position for him, he must meet a company that happens to need to expand the scale of R&D, and that company must also invest heavily to build a R&D team around Li Dali.

This possibility is indeed very small.

When the elevator arrived, there was a crisp jingle, followed by a mechanical female voice: "The thirty-second floor has arrived." ”

The elevator door slowly opened, Cheng Yu stretched out his hand to signal Wu Jing to go out first, and then said, "Wu Gong, do you mean that Li Gong is not happy now?"

Before Wu Jing could answer, Xue Changyun happened to come over: "Why are you here so slowly? I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Cheng Yu smiled at Xue Changyun and said, "Which private room are you in?" I have something to discuss with Wu Gong, otherwise I will trouble you to accompany Chen Suo first." ”

Xue Changyun was a little surprised, but he still glanced at Wu Jing out of trust in Cheng Yu.

Seeing that Wu Jing also nodded, he said, "That's okay, Chen and I are in the private room of the three eights, you can finish the talk quickly." Today is a happy day, and I want to have a good drink with Wu Gong. ”

Cheng Yu smiled: "I will do it as soon as possible." ”

After Xue Changyun left, Cheng Yu said, "Wu Gong, why don't we go to the bar on the upstairs terrace to sit for a while?" ”

Wu Jing nodded, and the two walked towards the stairs.

"Wu Gong, what you said just now means that Li Gong is not doing well now? If that's the case, it shouldn't be difficult to invite him back. It's just that I may have to wronged you, and our institute is going to set up a double chief engineer. ”

Wu Jing smiled and said, "If Li Gong is willing to come back, I would rather give up the position of chief engineer and continue to be his deputy." ”

Cheng Yu was slightly happy in his heart, but he didn't show it, waved his hand and said: "What did Wu Gong say, please come back to Li Gong, I hope that the projects that have been carried out before can continue and not be wasted." And the projects after he leaves are all designed according to your ideas, so naturally you need to continue to be responsible.

If we can bring Li Gong back, he will be in charge of the unfinished projects for the time being, and then I plan to expand the scale of the institute, attract more R&D personnel, and form two complete R&D teams. You and Li Gong can bring one each.

You don't have to worry about the financial matter, I will solve it with Xue Gongzi. ”

Wu Jing glanced back at Cheng Yu while going upstairs, and saw that his face was full of sincerity, and said with emotion: "Then I will thank Cheng Shao for Li Gong first." ”

"I'm also here for future profits, I can't talk about it, it's just an investment, Wu Gong doesn't have to be too polite. ”

When he arrived at the bar, Cheng Yu instructed the waiter to serve two glasses of wine, and took a sip with Wu Jing before he spoke again: "Wu Gong and Li Gong have always been in contact?"

Cheng Yu was full of hope to get a positive answer, but Wu Jing's words made him a little disappointed.

Wu Jing said: "When he just left, we did keep in touch. But then, about two years or so, I suddenly lost contact with him. Four years ago, I received a QQ message from him, saying that he went to South America and that a company was willing to set up an R&D team for him. I think that's a good thing, at least for him. I also wish him a long journey. But since then, in fact, he sent me that message, and I haven't heard from him since. Even when I replied to him, he didn't hear back again. ”

Cheng Yu frowned and hesitated, "What's going on?"

"I didn't care at first, in our business, closed R&D is normal, after all, the content of R&D needs to be kept absolutely confidential, and no leakage of any kind is allowed.

But no matter what the project, it is impossible to carry out closed R&D for a year or two, there is always a time off.

Even the kind of projects that take three or five years or more to carry out are always carried out in stages. A period of research and development has achieved phased results, and there is still time to rest.

Even this kind of rest is often a month or two or more. After all, we are people, not machines.

But since then, I have never received any messages from Li Gong, I have sent a lot of messages to his QQ, and I have never replied......

It's been more than four years. ”

Listening to Wu Jing's words, Cheng Yu's heart gradually sank.

He finally understands that he underestimated the damn system.

For this mission, he had assumed that it would not be difficult to find people, but that it would be difficult to persuade them to return to the research institute. After all, even if Li Dali wants to come back, what if he happens to have a project in his hand and the contract has not yet expired? It is really not an easy task to complete the task of persuading Li Dali to return to the research institute within 42 days.

But now listening to Wu Jing say this, Cheng Yu found that even finding Li Dali would be a very difficult thing.

Four years ago, there was only one piece of news, and there has been no news for four years, and even if you find his family, I am afraid that you may not know where he is. After all, according to Wu Jing's words, Wu Jing should be his closest person in the research institute, and it is impossible for him not to reply to Wu Jing's news if he can contact his family.

"You don't know his whereabouts at all now, what about his family?" Cheng Yu still had a glimmer of hope.

Wu Jing shook his head and said, "I have contacted his family, two years ago Li Gong's father died, and I also went to Xingon Province, I thought he would come back, but he didn't show up. ”

Yes?

This......
