When they knew that a guest was coming, Wang Haiqing and Liu Min were waiting at the door.
Wang Hao also stood up.
Not long after waiting, I saw a middle-aged man dressed in a shirt and suit. He came to the door and looked around, as if he wanted to determine which door it was.
"here!"
Wang Hao came over and opened the door and shouted.
The middle-aged man in a suit turned around with a smile on his face, looked at Wang Hao carefully, and then extended his hand formally, "Hello, you are Teacher Wang Hao, right! I am Xue Fengsheng, manager of the Jiangzhou Operation Service Center of Penguin Group ."
He said and handed over a business card.
"Please come in!"
Wang Hao shook hands with Xue Fengsheng, took the business card and glanced at it, knowing that the other person was not as simple as a 'manager', but the director of the operation service center, with a position equivalent to a 'deputy general manager'.
Xue Fengsheng didn't come empty-handed, he also brought two bottles of Feitian Mao Niang as gifts.
Wang Hao took it, glanced at it and said, "You're here as soon as you come. You're welcome to buy such an expensive gift."
"Small gifts, souvenirs."
The two of them sat on the sofa politely.
Xue Fengsheng was about to talk about business. He glanced left and right and found that he was being stared at by several people. He suddenly felt something was wrong.
Liu Min hurriedly greeted, "You guys talk about business, let's continue eating. Manager Xue, do you want to eat something together?"
"No, no."
The people in the living room quickly evacuated.
Wang Haiqing and Zhang Shucai went back to the dining table to continue eating and drinking, while Liu Min and her cousin went to the kitchen. Zhang Xiaoyu, who was in his early teens, was pulled to the bedroom to continue playing games on his mobile phone.
Although everyone was doing their own thing, except for Zhang Xiaoyu in the room, everyone else strained their ears.
The conversation between the two did not involve any secrets, but they did not worry about being overheard.
Xue Fengsheng said directly, "Teacher Wang Hao, congratulations on winning the best paper award at STACS. This is big news. In recent years, no domestic scholar has won an award at the Basic Computer Theory Conference."
"Did it spread so quickly?" Wang Hao was surprised when he received a call from Zhu Zhen as soon as he got off the plane.
STACS and Springer, which collects papers, definitely do not publish relevant information. Similar information is usually not officially released until the papers are included.
This is also a ‘warehousing’ process.
After giving an academic report in STACS, the paper will be manually included in Springer. The interval will take more than three days. Considering that European countries generally involve manual labor and the efficiency is relatively low, if it falls on a Saturday, Sunday or other holiday, the interval will be one week. The above is not surprising.
Xue Fengsheng smiled and said, "There have been no domestic media reports, but we have cooperated with a supercomputing research center in Germany, and we are quite concerned about STACS in terms of theory and algorithms."
"That's it." Wang Hao understood.
Xue Fengsheng continued, "Improving the large number multiplication algorithm is definitely a major research project in the industry. The technology department of the head office is also very interested in the 'new model building' algorithm. The analysis algorithm for a large number of users is The technical department is always looking to improve things."
Wang Hao asked in surprise, "Manager Xue, you are the director of the operation center, are you also concerned about technical issues?"
Xue Fengsheng laughed, "We are an operation service center, but we also need data support from the headquarters. Moreover, we also have our own technical department, but the research and development direction is different."
He turned to the formal content, "This time I'm here for the technical department of the head office. They would like to invite you to give a lecture and talk about your two studies in detail."
"Where's the time?"
"It can be from the end of this month to next month. The technical department definitely hopes that it will be done as soon as possible."
Wang Hao hesitated and thought about the time. He had to go back to Xihai University to sign a new contract, pay attention to the course schedule for the new semester, and wait to apply for a fund project. It would take at least a week, or even more than half a month.
Xue Fengsheng said, "Teacher Wang Hao, don't worry, we won't let you go in vain. We know that Abayun gave 200,000 lecture fees, and we will also give 200,000..."
Several people in the room immediately pricked up their ears.
Liu Haiqing and Zhang Shucai both looked this way, while Liu Min poked his head out of the kitchen, with an expression on his face that almost said, "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up..."
The lecture fee of 200,000 yuan is so shocking.
It is not easy for most people to make money, including small factory owners like Zhang Shucai, who is said to have more than tens of millions of assets, but they are just assets, most of which are real estate, factories, etc.
Over the course of a year, when the market is very good, you can earn more than one or two million, which is a lot. But if the market is not good, or something happens, you may have worked hard for nothing for a year.
Two hundred thousand, all you have to do is give a lecture, there is no cost, and there is no risk.
What else should we consider?
Of course Wang Hao had to think about it carefully. He hesitated for a long time and said, "I plan to stay at home for a while, and then I will go back to Xihai. If I go to Shencheng, it will not be until the middle of next month at least."
"In addition, I am worried about the 'Large Number Multiplication Algorithm'. I have just done this research, and I have only made an academic report. Springer has not included it yet. I am worried that there are some problems in the middle, which will affect your work."
Xue Fengsheng listened patiently, nodded constantly and said, "I know, Teacher Wang Hao, you must be very busy, but the technical department really needs you to visit in person. So, I will make my own decision and give you another fifty thousand, two 150,000 lecture fees..."
"This is not a matter of money." Wang Hao continued to shake his head and said, "It is a matter of time. Hurry up..."
"Three hundred thousand." Xue Fengsheng simply continued to raise the price.
Wang Hao sighed and said, "Those of you who are in business are just willing to use money to clear the way. Isn't this embarrassing people?"
"Alas~~~"
He sighed and said reluctantly, "Internationally, Penguin is also a well-known large enterprise. If you can support it, you must support it. Okay, there is still time during the holiday anyway. I originally planned to take a month's rest. You may not know that I haven’t been back for a year.”
"It's really troublesome for Teacher Wang Hao, so it's settled!" Xue Fengsheng smiled with satisfaction, then stood up and formally shook hands with Wang Hao.
Things are settled.
The two chatted for a while, Xue Fengsheng looked at the time, stood up and prepared to leave.
After seeing off the guests, the house became lively.
Liu Jing and Wang Haiqing inquired excitedly, "Is what you said just now true? Give a lecture to give 300,000 yuan?"
"Three hundred thousand, are you kidding me?"
Wang Hao said nonchalantly, "Mom, didn't I tell you last time on the phone? I gave a lecture and made two hundred thousand, and I even got a hundred thousand in return."
"It's true!" Liu Jing's face was full of surprise, "I thought you were coaxing me and saving money slowly."
Zhang Shucai stood on the balcony, watching the luxury car go away, his heart full of complexity.
He just asked Wang Hao to give lectures to his son. He felt that one hundred and fifty dollars an hour was already a lot. He also said that Wang Hao's salary of ten thousand yuan a month was low, but who would have thought that Wang Hao had such ability?
When people come over and ask me to give a lecture, they ask for "two hundred thousand" lecture fees!
Thinking about what he just said, "One hundred and fifty is a lot," he suddenly felt very ashamed and realized that he really had never seen the world and was embarrassed.
Isn’t that right!
University lecturers are all high-level intellectuals. Is it possible that their jobs are bad? With a stable and high salary, not only are they guaranteed for life, but they can also earn a lot of extra money!
Look at Wang Hao, he gives a lecture worth 300,000 yuan!
Money comes so easily!
Zhang Shucai took a deep breath, tried to adjust his mentality, walked over calmly, and said, "Brother Wang, sister-in-law, what do you have to be suspicious of? That person just now was an executive of Penguin Company. Look at the car he drove. , a big Bentley, it costs more than 200 at least!"
"Haozi is really good!"
"Look, he can give a lecture worth 300,000 yuan. He is really courageous. People don't change their expressions even if they ask for 200,000 yuan."
"He's a business talker!"
"Brother Wang, why are you running a taxi when Haozi is here! Haozi gives a lecture and it's more than you make in a year!"
Wang Hao sat at the dining table again and took a few bites of food. Hearing what Zhang Shucai said about 'talking about business', he couldn't help but twitch his lips. In his previous life, he was just a part-time worker working in an organization.
Not to mention this life, there is no social experience at all.
Bargaining?
Sorry, I don't understand at all.
He has no business negotiation skills. The reason why he can easily negotiate the price is mainly because the other party wants something from others.
The other party made a lot of money from this transaction!
On the surface, he was invited to give a lecture and paid a lecture fee of 300,000 yuan. In fact, the value that his lectures brought to the company was definitely far more than 300,000 yuan.
Big companies are not fools.
Why did Penguin invite him to give lectures now?
Penguin must have patiently studied the paper "Fourier Transform Assisted Construction of Mathematical Model", but the content of the paper is not to write down the code, but only to provide a method and an idea.
To study the correct method from the paper requires a lot of elite employees to spend a lot of time and effort.
Even if the time cost is not calculated, the monthly income of elite employees of large Internet companies must be more than 50,000 yuan. If ten people spend a month researching together, the salary cost will exceed 500,000 yuan.
Even if elite employees understand the methods, it does not mean that they can let the employees below know what to do.
This is a process of slow exploration, research, and learning.
If you want to use new methods to improve procedures, it will take a lot of time. If you ask him to give a lecture, explain the new methods in detail, and gather hundreds of employees to attend the lecture, most of the problems will be solved at once.
Not to mention, Penguin also talked about the ‘large number multiplication algorithm’, and I hope he will also explain the new algorithm by the way.
Wang Hao felt a bit at a loss when he thought about it carefully, but he definitely couldn't go back on the deal once it was agreed.
"Alas~~"
Finally, he sighed and said with emotion, "These capitalists will never suffer losses!"
