Chapter 329 "Spying on the Enemy"

Liu Hong was helpless.

He can do experiments, and he can flatter his boss, but things like "spying on the enemy" that require technical content are still too high for his emotional intelligence.

However, there is no way. For doctoral students, the boss's orders are usually absolute.

Not to mention asking him to go to Jinling, even if he was asked to go to the tutor's house to flush the toilet, he could only hold his nose to do so.

However, Wang Haifeng was considered "kind" and reimbursed him the high-speed rail ticket, so he didn't need to pay for this trip at least.

In fact, there are many ways to inquire about the research progress of a research institute. For example, the simplest and crudest way is to directly offer two or three times the salary to poach people from the opponent's laboratory. Although it sounds a little tasteless, it is also the most efficient way.

However, what is more embarrassing is that this operation is not easy to cash out.

Especially for vertical projects, although scientific research funds can be used to pay researchers, but if the salary is too high, it is easy to be targeted by the discipline inspection committee, so it is not a joke. Since 2006, it has been continuously tightened. After Aurora was named by the central inspection team in 2014, scientific research funding has become a very serious issue.

As for how serious it is, anyone who has filled out the form for the boss knows...

And regardless of the treatment issue, no one would jump from Lu Zhou's side to his mentor's place in a foolish way.

No matter how you think about it, an international "quasi-Nobel level" scholar is more attractive than Wang Haifeng, a "Changjiang scholar" who is only somewhat authoritative in China. So Wang Haifeng didn't think about this idea at all, but chose to let Liu Hong come over to inquire about the situation, to see if he could get something out of it.

To be honest, this is the most inefficient and stupid way.

When he came downstairs to the Institute of Computational Materials, when Liu Hong was hesitating about how to complete this almost impossible task, someone called him from behind.

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

Startled by the sound, Liu Hong immediately turned around and saw a doctoral student standing behind him, who seemed to be here for work.

"I……"

When Liu Hong was racking his brains to make up a reason, the doctoral student looked at Liu Hong twice, and suddenly seemed to understand something, and asked.

"Are you here to recruit?"

Hearing this sentence, Liu Hong was overjoyed, nodded quickly, and continued following his words.

"Yes, yes! I heard that researchers are recruited here, and I'm here to apply."

The doctor smiled and said, "Are you really here to apply? But it's not so easy to get in here. Where did you graduate? What degree? Do you bring your resume and materials like this?"

"Dr. Zheda... I didn't bring my resume. I just came here today to have a look, and I haven't made a decision yet." Liu Hong smiled embarrassedly and said with a reason.

"Zheda, not bad, Zheda's material major is quite strong," the doctor nodded, "However, it's still a little worse than us."

Liu Honggang wanted to scold "you fart", but soon thought of his task today, and swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Not wanting to continue wasting time on this topic, he quickly changed the subject.

"How are you treated here?"

The doctoral student looked at Liu Hong suspiciously, thinking that this guy came to apply for the job, didn't he even read the recruitment brochure? The remuneration is clearly written on it.

Still, he answered the question.

"The salary is different for different positions. If you are a doctor, the starting salary will be around 12,000. As for research funding and patent rewards, this depends on your ability, and it will be calculated separately."

twelve thousand? !

Upon hearing this number, Liu Hong immediately said something in his heart.

An annual salary of 100,000 yuan is not considered a high salary for someone who writes codes. It is not a big deal to start with an annual salary of 200,000 yuan if you choose a good direction, but the material major is different, let alone a research position.

Before getting out, masters and doctors are all scientific research laborers. When submitting a resume, you have to be ridiculed by HR, "It's not easy for you to find a job in chemistry", "Do you want to do sales? Sales are still short of manpower".

"...Is the treatment so good?" To be honest, Liu Hong was moved by the good ones.

"It's okay, but the salary is second to none," the doctor smiled heartily, "We have to take a long-term view in scientific research, and we can't always focus on the salary paid by the laboratory. In addition, our big boss is Lu God, the boss who just won the Adams Prize in Chemistry. The little boss is also very good, and he has been a postdoctoral fellow at MIT for two years. With this team leading the team, why worry about not being able to eat meat?"

This lineup is really awesome.

Not to mention the starting salary of close to 150,000, he would be willing to let him work for nothing for two years... Anyway, his current salary plus subsidy totals more than 3,000, which is no different from doing nothing. .

Liu Hong swallowed his saliva, envious in his heart, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Everyone compares.

When he thought that he had to humble himself for a Ph.D., and worked as a cheap scientific research labor for his supervisor, and worked hard to write papers and reports, and in the end, the paper he wrote could not even get a second one, and he was full of imbalance.

Thinking of this, a crazy idea suddenly popped up in Liu Hong's heart.

There is still a long way to go in life, there is no need to hang yourself on an unworthy choice.

Swallowing, he tentatively asked, "I... have another question."

"Just ask?"

Finally, Liu Hong hesitated and asked that sentence: "If you have a master's degree, do you want it here?"

Hearing this sentence, the doctor gave him a blank look.

Isn't this guy a doctor?

...

Just three days after the awards ceremony, Lu Zhou's scarf was swiped by a large amount of Aite news.

For him not sharing the joy of winning the award on the scarf this time, his fans seemed a little "unhappy" and crazily tweeted about him on various blog posts related to him.

As for the titles of those blog posts, they are also all kinds of hot eyes.

[The first Chinese scholar to win the Adams Prize in Chemistry turned out to be him? ! 】

【Shock! The top award in organic chemistry was awarded to a mathematician! 】

[From "1+1" to "Li+S", let's see what other people's academic gods look like. 】

Looking at the 99+ hanging on the message reminder, Lu Zhou's expression was a little dumbfounded.

Click to open it, and half of it is Aite's own.

[Lu Shen, you have changed, you have become less pretentious. 】

[After waiting for two days, I didn't get God Lu's scarf. At this moment, I feel indescribably uncomfortable all over my body. 】

[Thanks to God Lu, I used to stay in the library until the afternoon at most. Since I got a new phone, I can stay in the library until it closes, and even when I go back to the dormitory, I can hold my phone and brush my scarf (dog head) (dog head) 】

【Awesome, my God Lu! 】

【…】

Looking at these comments, while Lu Zhou was dumbfounded, he also had some difficulties for a while.

To be honest, this pussy is too hard and has no special features. He doesn't want to pretend.

However, the enthusiasm of the fans made him a little bit hard to refuse.

After struggling for a while, Lu Zhou finally smiled embarrassedly, took a photo of his medal and silver watch, edited a blog post and sent it out, sharing the joy of this moment with his fans.

The old rule is still to forward the lottery.

As for the prize, just draw ten Warwicks. This brand is more secure, the quality is excellent, and there are no black spots.

If he hadn't been caught by the gangsters to put a high hat on him and criticize him, even if he didn't care much about other people's evaluations, he would still be quite irritating to watch.

After clicking send, Lu Zhou cheerfully put down his phone, intending to check it later.

Comment that this thing is like a leek, it will be more fulfilling to cut it after it grows.

Sitting opposite Lu Zhou, Professor Sarot, who was drinking coffee leisurely, asked casually, "Speaking of which, have you booked your return ticket?"

Lu Zhou thought for a while and said, "I bought it when I came here, about three days later in the afternoon."

Professor Sarot regretted: "Aren't you going to spend a few days in San Francisco? If I remember correctly, the spring break should not be over yet."

"I'm a professor, not a student. What does spring break have to do with me?" After a pause, Lu Zhou continued in a chatty tone, "It's you, I remember you are a professor at Cornell University, don't you need Did you go to class?"

"There are teaching assistants in the class. It is enough for me to go back a few times occasionally. Besides, it is not uncommon for famous professors to have laboratories outside the campus. It is not necessary to stay on the campus of Cornell University to cultivate excellent research. staff," said Professor Sarot with a bright smile on his face, "Compared to this, I still prefer San Francisco!"

Lu Zhou smiled: "Really? I prefer the tranquility of Princeton."

At this moment, Sarot suddenly thought of a bell in his pocket.

"I'm going to answer the phone."

Politely speaking to Lu Zhou, Sarot stood up, took out the phone from his pocket, and walked to the side.

However, just as he put the phone to his ear, his expression changed slightly.

By the end, his face had already turned livid.

Five minutes later, Sarot, who ended the call, walked back again.

Looking at the resentful Sarot, Lu Zhou frowned slightly and asked.

"What happened?"

Sarot, who was still angry, did not answer the question, clenched his fists, and cursed viciously: "Those unruly bastards! I want to sue them!"
