Chapter Twenty-Seven: Truly Exceeding Expectations
"Who have you found?"
Chen Nian asked.
"A lot, I basically found a few outstanding seniors in the Aviation Academy, and I also contacted several seniors in the School of Materials, Power, Mathematics and Statistics, and Physics."
"But overall, the intention of the Aviation Institute is relatively high."
"I've negotiated two in the past two days, and I've taken more than 3,000 yuan."
More than three thousand!
Hearing this number, Chen Nian and Li Xiang's eyes widened at the same time.
Li Xiang was surprised because he thought it was too much money, after all, during this period, the salary of ordinary workers was only one or two thousand yuan, and Zhang Rui got almost double the income just by using his mouth.
And Chen Nian is different, he thinks that the money is too decisive.
3,000 yuan can be exchanged for an opportunity to change the direction of important talents, isn't this a good deal enough?
The other party's plan is very big.
It is conceivable that these two so-called "negotiated" candidates will have more temptations in front of them after accepting the job of consultants.
Foreign companies, high salaries, social status.
In this era, no matter which of these three items is taken out, it will attract the envy of many people.
Even if it's just a money offensive, it's enough to make them fall into it.
On the other hand, what are the conditions that can be provided on your side?
If you want money, you don't have money, and if you want a future, you don't have a future.
There's really no competitiveness to keep these great people.
Thinking of this, Chen Nian couldn't help but sigh.
A school of the nature of the National Defense University of Science and Technology can also restrict students from going abroad and restricting students' employment, but what can an ordinary university like the Western University of Technology do about it?
You can't throw money at it, and you can't fight with technology.......
---- unless, paint them an incomparable pie.
And it still needs to be the kind that can be achieved quickly.
Project 22 is an opportunity.
With the help of this opportunity, such a pie painting process may be able to continue until it enters a virtuous circle, using the old cake to feed the new people, and completely cutting off the path of brain drain!
Chen Nian had already made up his mind in his heart, he no longer paid attention to Zhang Rui, who was still chattering, quickly finished dinner, said goodbye to Li Xiang, and quickly returned to Chen Guo's dormitory.
After briefly combing through the information at hand, Chen Nian called Chen Guo.
And the first sentence after connecting, he said:
"Professor Chen, I suspect that some foreign companies are premeditating to intercept our aviation talents!"
Chen Guo on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, and then replied:
"In fact, we have also found this problem, not only aviation, but also other fields such as electronics, semiconductors, energy, and information, and foreign companies are recruiting talents at any cost."
"We actually responded, but at the moment our response is too single and not strong enough."
"Overall, it's not a problem that can be solved in a short period of time."
"It's good that you can spot that, but honestly, there's not much you can do....... Let's calm down and finish our No. 22 project. ”
"That's what I'm going to say."
Chen Nian hurriedly replied.
"Professor Chen, has the personnel list for Project 22 been decided? How many people are working on the project now? ”
"The preliminary estimate is about 50 people, what's wrong?"
"Not enough."
Chen Nian replied immediately.
"In the beginning, it was enough, and our current staffing is aimed at making shells and blowing tunnels."
"If you can really help us solve the internal structure and even material problems in the later stage, then this project will be upgraded to a real aircraft research and development project, and we will continue to add people at that time."
"Therefore, the problem of manpower shortage is estimated to arise at least in the second phase of the project."
"To be honest, I'm also very conflicted now, I hope that I can really solve the technical difficulties quickly and go directly to the strategic project; But I'm worried that the progress is too fast and the talent can't keep up. ”
"You know, now that Shen Fei and Cheng Fei already have projects in hand, it's not easy to squeeze out people again......"
Chen Guo's tone was a little regretful, the project did not go further, the more difficulties he felt, and the more complicated it became.
At first it was structure, then it became manufacturing, then it was materials, then it was money.
Now, even talent is a problem.
"What if you bring in school students? Current students who started as graduate students! ”
"Huh? How is this possible...... Not to mention graduate students, even ordinary engineers may not be able to really participate in the project, all they can do is do chores. ”
"The design of a new aircraft is a process of continuous exploration, and exploration requires professional knowledge and experience support, let alone graduate students, even doctoral students, may not be competent ......."
I don't need them to explore, I just need them to execute.
At the same time, just learn by doing.
Chen Nian said silently in his heart.
Of course, he can't say this to Chen Guo now, because his current contribution is not enough to support him to make such an "arrogant" statement.
At least wait for the next analysis to be completed and the engine drawings come out, so that you can have the confidence to put forward your own various requirements.
And now, all he needs is a commitment.
"Professor Chen, your concern is that these potential talents won't be able to make a difference, but what if I say that I just want to keep them that way?"
"Keep them? This can be regarded as a solution, but to put it bluntly, the cost of raising so many idlers is unbearable......."
"Don't worry, we can afford it, I just need you to give me a promise: if the project results exceed expectations, we will follow the method I said, introduce a group of talents in school, and fundamentally put an end to the outflow of talents."
Chen Guo on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds.
He assessed the feasibility of Chen Nian's words in his heart.
In fact, as a senior technician, he knows better than anyone else the current situation of brain drain, and he knows better than anyone the harm caused by this status quo.
If it is allowed to develop, in the coming period, Huaxia will fall into an embarrassing window period when no one is available.
Of course, there will be no problems in 10 years, or even 20 years, because the talents needed in the next 20 years are basically cultivated in the first 10 years, that is, in the 90s.
But what if it comes to 2020 and beyond? And even in 2030?
The terrible talent generation may directly cut off the way forward for Huaxia.
He took a deep breath and finally spoke:
"Okay, I can apply upwards, this request is actually very far-sighted, and it should not be rejected directly."
"But the question is, how do you define an outcome that exceeds expectations?"
Chen Nian smiled and replied:
"Rest assured, it's not a problem at all."
"Give me a little time, and I'll let everyone know what it means to really 'exceed expectations.'"
