Liu Hai's decision is actually just a microcosm of the macro situation, and he may not feel it, but on the other side of the sea, in the immigration bureau, some experts who are keeping an eye on the talent flow data all the time have already discovered the seriousness of the problem.

In the office, Libit, the head of the talent introduction program, mechanically signed the latest report, while several experts across from him had solemn faces.

In front of the big screen, the assistant is explaining the latest data to everyone, but even if you don't have to look at it, just from the daily work, everyone here understands that the situation is not optimistic.

"In the past 60 months, the number of Chinese science and technology workers has decreased by 42.7% month-on-month, of which the proportion of people on the key focus list is only 1.2%, far lower than the average of 6.9% in the previous cycle."

"At the same time, the several target personnel that we need to bring in in our previous decision are all immigrants, and the task is not only a failure, but even a rout."

"Relatively speaking, the immigration of our scientific and technological personnel to China has broken the long-term low level of situation, and since 2006, a total of 29 scientific and technological researchers have left us and joined China."

"In addition, we are facing even worse expectations for the future."

"According to the information we have received, Isaac, a well-known scholar in the field of high-pressure physics, has decided to immigrate to Huaxia-—— he is in Huaxia now, and it is estimated that he will not return in the short term."

"So, on the whole, we are now facing a situation where we have all failed to recruit key talents in Huaxia, but they have begun to attract talents from our side to take the initiative to send them to us."

"It's a very terrible thing to shake, it's our foundation."

Hearing the assistant's words, everyone in the conference room fell silent.

"The foundation is shaken".

That's right, in fact, the reason why this country has become strong is that in addition to making war money, plundering the indigenous people, and manipulating the international financial market, there is another extremely important reason, that is, the plundering of advanced talents from various countries.

From Project Fulbright, to Operation Paperclip, to Project Science Advisors and Technical Corps, their footsteps to plunder talent have never stopped.

And indeed, these programs have paid off handsomely for them.

For decades, they have been able to maintain a relatively high growth rate and an absolutely dominant technological level, which is the dividend brought by these plans.

Talent strategy is the foundation of their country.

But now it seems. This foundation does seem to have a tendency to be shaken.

After all, in the decades since World War II, there has never been a cycle in which the flow of high-end talent has been negative.

The cycle from 2003 to 2008 was the first in history.

Libit, who was behind the desk, finally signed all his names, and he slowly raised his head to glance at everyone in the office, and then asked:

"What is the reason? There must be a reason for such a big problem, right? ”

The assistant's expression was a little embarrassed for a while, and he secretly thought in his heart:

What is the reason, do you really not count in your heart?

However, he could not say such things directly to Libit.

After arranging the wording, he replied:

"There are several reasons for this."

"First of all, the continuous economic recession in recent years has made some high-end talents doubt our development prospects."

"As you know, in the past few years, Huaxia has been arguably the only isolated island in the entire world economy, and at a time when all countries are facing recession, they have continued to move forward, and even taken this opportunity to occupy many markets that originally belonged to us."

"Their situation is very good, whether it is in terms of wages, socio-economic environment, and civil economic development, there has been a significant improvement."

"From the point of view of 'economic life', their attraction to talent is constantly increasing."

"I think if any of us are willing to visit China, we will easily find that the cities there are no longer the 'backward', 'dilapidated' and 'inconvenient' cities we used to think they are."

"There is not much difference between Shanghai and New York, and there is not much difference between Shenzhen and Los Angeles, which lays the foundation for their talent introduction."

Hearing this, Libit nodded solemnly.

He is not a short-sighted, arrogant leader, and although he cannot say that he understands the situation in China 100 percent, he is not as foolish as some Indian scholars look at it with the preconceptions of decades ago.

It is an indisputable fact that China is developing and their level of civilization is improving.

But can they take away so much talent just by relying on that?

Apparently impossible.

So, he went on to ask:

"What else?"

The assistant paused and continued to reply:

"If economic development lays the foundation for the introduction of talents, then for now, their core attraction is actually the rapid development of science and technology in recent years."

"Whether in the military industry or in the civilian field, their development in recent years has been a miracle."

"And for scientific researchers, they are often the ones who like to have this kind of 'miracle' story the most."

"It's as if they can create miracles themselves if they go to the soil where miracles are born."

"-——Of course, it's not just a superstition."

"If there are frequent technological breakthroughs in a place, it means that there must be some kind of special resource or special power in that place."

"The reason why we were able to attract so many scientific scholars back then was actually for the same reason."

"Isaac, whom we just mentioned, is the prime example."

Libit nodded silently, in fact, he had heard of Isaac the person.

Although he cannot be regarded as a leader in high-pressure physics, he is better than active thinking, and many new methods and ideas he proposed are recognized and praised by the academic community.

Such a person is actually leaving. It has to be said that this is definitely a significant loss.

"Can we stop him?"

Libit asked subconsciously.

"I'm afraid it's not good."

"Unless we enforce exit restrictions and asset freezes against him, but the problem is that his importance is not at that level."

"If this kind of 'ultimate method' is used arbitrarily, it will have a significant negative effect on the future of talent introduction projects."

Got it. You go ahead. ”

"Do you need to continue?"

The assistant asked rhetorically, and then said:

"In fact, if we understand these two reasons, we have basically clarified our future response strategy, and as for the rest, either the impact is not great, or we are powerless to intervene."

"Militarily, for example, we have faced a series of setbacks, which has dealt a heavy blow to the confidence of the upper echelons of scholars."

But what can we do? You can't go to war with a gun."

"Therefore, the focus of our work is still on the first two things."

Libit nodded helplessly, and then said with some self-deprecation:

"Actually, even for the first two things, there isn't much we can do."

"Guys, what do you think?"

Everyone exchanged glances with each other and shook their heads in unison.

Yes, what can be thought?

After all, USCIS is only a front-end administrative department, but it is the lowest level of problems that need to be solved.

This is an irreconcilable contradiction and paradox.

Probably, the only thing they can do is to impose some restrictions, as Libit said, or add some preferential conditions.

Looking at the silent crowd, Libit's brow furrowed.

After a long time, he finally spoke:

"Either way, we have to find a way to reverse the disadvantage in the flow of talent."

"Restrictions are necessary-—— but at the same time, we have to build our own attractiveness."

"I think alpha is a sound strategy."

"It doesn't sound like a whimsy, but money is the most realistic thing, and no one can resist the temptation of it."

Hearing Libit's words, everyone present nodded one after another.

As a result, the latest talent introduction strategy of the Immigration Bureau has been decided.

It doesn't have any bells and whistles, and the core is only one sentence: give money, give money in a big way.

After the high-profile announcement of the policy, the whole world was shocked.

Because this policy can be called the largest policy in recent decades.

It is foreseeable that once the policy is implemented, a large number of talents will be attracted by the open and transparent incentive scheme and invest in the United States.

——

This is what USCIS and Libit would like to see the most.

However, they seem to ignore one of the biggest risks of this policy.

Chang'an, in a dilapidated office.

Bangs sat across from his newest partner, Mo Cheng, with a look of excitement on his face.

"Brother Liu, it's here! Lao Mei has given such a good policy, it will be much more convenient for us to recruit people in the future! ”

"A person, as long as he gets a green card, he will be given 100,000 dollars, which is too exaggerated!"

"We only need to cast a large-scale net and find those who can't meet the requirements, help them pack them and send them to the United States, or it won't be long before we will definitely make a fortune!"

Hearing Mo Cheng's words, Liu Hai shook his head disdainfully.

Yes, of course, he sees an opportunity in this policy, but he sees the opposite direction of Meaux.

"Are you dreaming? Such a good thing, it's our turn to do it? ”

"Everyone knows that when we go to the United States to make money, there are already large companies and large institutions to lay out, if we do the same thing as them, let alone make money, it is estimated that we can't even drink soup to catch up with the heat."

"Listen to me, if you really want to make money, there is only one way, and that is to go against them!"

"The other way around? What does it mean? ”

Mo Cheng asked suspiciously.

Unlike Liu Hai, he is not an experienced "talent broker", in fact, he only entered the industry three months ago, and the first time he registered a company was also to do the business of labor dispatch.

If it weren't for Liu Hai taking a fancy to his funds and coming up for a flicker, he probably wouldn't have paid attention to the news released on the other side of the ocean in his life.

——

Of course, even if he sees it now, all he can think of is the most superficial opportunity.

"What do you mean, isn't that obvious?"

"In this environment, everyone wants to send people over there, and the competition can be said to be so fierce that blood is flowing."

"We're different, and we're taking this opportunity to poach people from there."

"Think about it, if the United States wants people, our own country doesn't want people?"

"The stronger their policies, the bigger the talent gap on our side, and the policies will slowly catch up."

"As long as we lay out in advance and get the resources in our hands in advance, we will be the biggest human resources leader as soon as the policy comes out in the future!"

"Are you afraid that you won't be able to make money then? The money in the sack is light! ”

Hearing Liu Hai's words, Mo City had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

But soon, he discovered the flaw in his bangs.

He scratched his head and asked:

"Brother Liu, the idea you said is fine."

"But the question is, in this case, where are we going to find someone? Everyone is running out, is it possible that we can still force them back? ”

Bangs smiled and shook his head, and replied:

"Of course we don't pull the people who want to run out."

"They want to leave, in fact, no matter what conditions you offer, they can't stay, their hearts are no longer here."

"What we want to pull are those who are abroad, but want to come to China!"

"As soon as the policy of the United States came out, it can be said that it created conditions for these people to come to China, and I feel sorry for them if they don't seize this opportunity."

"Created the conditions? Why? ”

Mo Cheng asked with a confused expression, until now, he hadn't figured out the strategy of bangs.

Although it sounds quite mysterious, but. Does it really work?

Looking at this unresponsive partner, Liu Hai suddenly had a feeling of hating iron but not steel.

He took a deep breath and asked:

"Let me ask you, if you are a scientific researcher who has worked diligently for more than ten years, or even decades, whether it is financially or in terms of status, it is already at the end of the road, and it is impossible to strive for further progress."

"At this time, your country suddenly issued a policy to implement super high treatment for all new recruits, and this kind of treatment is even more than yours, what do you think at this time?"

Mo City's eyes lit up, and he immediately replied:

"Jealous, unwilling-—— I probably understand what you mean, they are hung upside down."

"But the problem is, just because it's upside down, they don't make decisions that easily, right?"

"Of course not."

Bangs nodded confidently, then continued:

"The upside-down is just a fuse, and he will ignite the anger of the researchers in the United States."

"But this anger alone is not enough to make us money."

"What really determines the direction of things is the allocation of resources."

"Let me ask you, this time the policy was issued by the Immigration Bureau, but is it the Immigration Bureau who really pays the money?"

"Probably not. It must be that each demand unit pays for it, and the immigration bureau subsidizes a part of it at most, right? How can they have so much money to burn? ”

"That's right. In the final analysis, the cost of talent will eventually fall on the heads of various employing departments, that is, the heads of various scientific research institutions. ”

"So now, here's the problem."

"As a scientific researcher, you now not only have to endure the inversion of the treatment, but also watch the resources that should belong to you being distributed to newcomers who have not yet made any contributions."

"Now, what would you think?"

"I see!"

Mo City said in surprise.

He's not really stupid, he's just not familiar with the industry.

And now, after Liu Hai's answer, he has completely figured out the logic.

He had a vague sense that a big change was about to happen.

And in this change, you may get a lot of benefits.

But I'm afraid the biggest profit is still my own country
