"What can't be said over the phone?" Bertrand asked curiously.
"Don't ask, it's definitely a good thing, believe me" Boko said, no matter how Bertrand asked, he didn't say anything.
Having no choice but to do so, Bertrand agreed and immediately left the dormitory to go to Boko's apartment outside the school.
The two were best friends. Bertrand's family was average, while Boko's family was relatively wealthy. From time to time, Boko would help Bertrand and never mentioned asking Bertrand to pay back the money.
After stubbing out the cigarette in her hand, Bertrand packed up and left the dormitory. She got in a taxi at the school gate and rushed to Boko's apartment.
The vehicle drove for more than thirty minutes and got off at the entrance of the 27-story Flanders Building. After entering the building, I pressed the button for the 22nd floor.
The Flanders Building is a high-end apartment building with a maximum of twelve units on the first floor and only ten units on the 22nd floor. Bertrand stopped in front of door No. 2207 and rang the doorbell.
Soon, the door opened, and it was Boko who opened the door, beckoning Bertrand to come in.
In the living room, there was an Asian man sitting there. When he saw Bertrand coming, he stood up and nodded to Bertrand with a smile on his face.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Zhang Jixue, a good friend of my father's, currently working in Xingling Group."
"This is my friend, Bertrand"
After Boko's introduction, Zhang Jixue shook hands with Bertrand, and Bertrand understood why Boko called him here.
To be honest, Bertrand has received calls from many giant companies in recent times.
After inviting the two of them to sit down, Boko went to the side and made two cups of coffee and brought them over. He and Zhang Jixue looked at each other, and Boko began to speak.
"Bertland, I called you here today because of where you will go after graduation."
"Uncle Zhang currently works in the Human Resources Department of Xingling Group. This time I came to Stanford just for you. I am only responsible for the introduction. It is up to you to decide."
After hearing this, Bertrand nodded and turned to look at Zhang Jixue. Zhang Jixue also spoke at this time, "Bertland, we noticed you very early. We didn't expect that you and Boko were roommates."
"I apologize for taking the liberty of inviting you here today."
After listening to Zhang Jixue's words, Bertrand felt very comfortable and satisfied with Zhang Jixue's attitude. She smiled and said "It doesn't matter."
"Have you accepted invitations from other companies so far? If not, I formally invite you to join the Protoss Group."
"In terms of scientific research, our Xingling Group respects scientific researchers, no one else."
Zhang Jixue got down to business and formally invited Bertrand to join the Xingling Group. It was very straightforward.
"What kind of treatment can you give me?" Bertrand asked calmly. He asked for a high price, and many companies gave up on him after hearing his quotation.
"Annual salary of 200,000 U.S. dollars, 8-hour work team, and legal holidays." Zhang Jixue explained the conditions, and Bertrand nodded after listening.
The recruitment conditions of these giants are similar. If you are engaged in scientific research, Xingling Group has a greater advantage. After all, scientific researchers around the world know that Xingling Group has the best scientific research environment.
"How do you regulate the promotion of scientific researchers?" Bertrand asked this question seriously.
Zhang Jixue smiled and began to tell Bertrand about the points system for researchers within the Xingling Group. Bertrand listened attentively and recognized this point system in his heart, which ensured the legitimate interests of newcomers to the maximum extent.
Boko didn't speak at the side. He didn't need to worry about work. The only thing he needed to consider was starting a business. The family's wealth was enough for him to live a leisurely life.
Starting a business is the only way to realize your own value.
At the moment, Bertrand does not have this foundation. Perhaps the next generation of Bertrand will have this foundation. The advantages brought by the family cannot be caught up by one or two generations.
When Boko originally planned to start his own business, he gave Bertrand a certain share of the shares to help him. Unexpectedly, Zhang Jixue directly contacted Boko's father.
My father called me again and I had to do this.
Bertrand participated in many computer competitions at school. Bertrand did not excel in these competitions, and the glory belonged to others.
But Boko knew that Bertrand had received more invitations than those famous people.
These giant companies have a very good grasp of talents and can easily find talents with real capabilities.
"Mr. Zhang, I need to think about it. I can give you a definite answer within two days, okay?" Bertrand looked at Zhang Jixue and said this.
"Yes, I hope I can become colleagues with you, Bertrand." Zhang Jixue agreed with a smile and shook hands with Bertrand.
Then we stopped talking about business and started talking about other things. Bo Ke was very good at livening up the atmosphere. The three of them laughed from time to time. After more than ten minutes, Zhang Jixue left.
Boko and Backlund sent Zhang Jixue away together, and then returned to the living room to sit down.
Taking the coffee, Boko said to Backlund, "I wish you great success."
"I didn't promise him. Isn't it a little early for you to congratulate me now?" Backlund said with a smile.
"Come on, I don't know about you yet. As your best friend, I know very well that you are already attracted to the Protoss Group." Boko said this with a wry smile.
Belland smiled, picked up the coffee, touched Boko's cup and took a sip.
"When it comes to respecting R&D personnel, Xingling Group does this best, better than other companies."
"In the past, I definitely had to join other people's teams. As long as I showed my talents and gained enough points, I could apply for funding to lead the project independently."
"This is something that other giant companies cannot provide."
Backlund said this slowly while leaning on the sofa. Boko nodded aside. He also knew a lot about the Protoss Group and it was clear that Backlund was telling the truth.
"Let's not talk about this matter anymore. When you join the Star Spirit Group, you will need to go to the ancient eastern country. We don't know how long it will take if we want to meet again."
"Don't go back today. I'm going to call now and ask some girls to come over and play. Let's have a good time tonight." Boko said this with a smile, and Belland nodded with a smile.
Since I joined the Xingling Group, I can't start a business with Brocade. I know that my best friend is unhappy, so I just want to indulge myself with my best friend today.
Seeing that Backlund agreed, Boko called and started making arrangements. In the United States, as long as you have the money, nothing is a problem.
First, he called the liquor company and asked them to deliver drinks and snacks. Then he notified the hot girls from school to come over and made many calls before giving Backlund an OK gesture.
Tonight will be a night of extreme indulgence.
Two days passed slowly, and Backlund had another conversation with Zhang Jixue and officially announced his intention to join the Protoss Group.
The two parties immediately signed a legally binding contract. At the same time, Backlund reported the matter to the school, and many people in the school smiled helplessly.
Another talent was captured by the Protoss Group.
So far, six talents from Stanford University alone have signed contracts with Xingling Group.
There is a gap between an annual salary of US$220,000 and a mere US$20,000. The giant companies in the United States only give an annual salary of US$200,000.
Many professors feel helpless.
This situation has been going on for several years, and if it continues like this, the strength of the scientific research personnel of these giant companies will slowly fall behind that of the Xingling Group.
Correspondingly, the probability of achieving scientific research results will be lower than that of the Protoss Group.
Time passed slowly, and on May 6th, Starlight University issued a new announcement.
Starlight University will add a new department, the Department of Botany.
Marble, deputy director of the Starlight Institute of Botany, was hired as director of the Department of Botany. Mr. Marble is a Dutch national and an honorary professor of the Royal Netherlands Institute.
International authority on botany.
Lecturers are all hired from the Starlight Botanical Research Institute.
After this news was announced, many people were confused as to what was going on at Starlight University and why they suddenly added a botany department.
Isn’t he good at other popular subjects?
When Zhang Hongbin and Xiao Yunxian had a drink together, Xiao Yunxian also asked Zhang Hongbin this question: why did the superiors approve the addition of new subjects to Xingguang University?
"Old Xiao, even though the Xingling Group's headquarters is in Rizao City, you and I don't know the true strength of the Xingling Group at all!" When Zhang Hongbin said this, there was a certain bitter expression on his face.
Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment, not expecting Zhang Hongbin to say that.
"This time, not only Xingguang University will add botany, but many university botany departments will receive relevant financial support from relevant departments. It is said that it is because Xingling Group has fallen out with relevant departments." Zhang Hongbin curled his lips and said this.
In an environment like China's, it is estimated that only Xingling Group has the guts to make trouble with relevant departments. No other company has the guts.
"We broke up, is Gao Jin crazy?" Xiao Yunxian said this in surprise.
"I only found out the specific reason after talking to Lao Qiao on the phone last night."
"The large ecological circle plan created by Xingling Group in the northwest has allowed seven people to survive in a closed environment for a record-breaking fifty-two days. The closed large ecological circle was stopped only when problems arose."
"Relevant departments want to send a team of people to join the large ecological circle research project team. Gao Jin said that they have to pay, and they are not allowed to join without paying."
"This is a sole proprietorship of our Xingling Group. If there is no investment, there will be no return. There is no such thing as a free lunch!"
"This sentence angered the relevant departments. They wanted to use means to trouble the Xingling Group, but Wei Mingyang and several big bosses gave them a severe reprimand."
"Lao Fang, Lao Xu, they retired early because of this incident"
Zhang Hongbin curled his lips after saying that, Gao Jin was protected by the big guys, so he was not afraid of anyone playing tricks.
"What is there in this large ecosystem? Why do the relevant departments value this project so much?" Xiao Yunxian was very curious, which can make the relevant departments take urgent measures. It can be seen that this project is not simple!"
"have what"
"This project is the basis for humans to set foot on other planets and establish permanent bases. Only with a breakthrough in this project will it be possible for humans to establish permanent bases on other planets."
Zhang Hongbin said this with emotion, and Xiao Yunxian had a sudden realization on his face. Now he understood why the relevant departments would rather fall out and participate in this project.
"What does Gao Jin want to do? What's wrong with involving relevant departments in this project? Doesn't he know that only strong enterprises in the country can develop better?"
Xiao Yunxian said this with a frown, Zhang Hongbin shook his head aside, Xiao Yunxian still didn't see through it, if only because of this.
The bosses will never reprimand the relevant departments.
