Chapter three hundred and sixty fourth asking price
"Mr. Shubnikov, we just said that this condition is negotiable. You can tell us what conditions you want, and we will consider it based on your situation." Xiao Weihao said calmly.
With a hint of arrogance on his face, Shubnikov said: "You should know that in terms of austenitic superalloys, there are currently few people in the world who can reach my level, and none in China. You have such conditions.
, it is too inconsistent with my level. If you come with such conditions, I think there is no need for us to continue talking."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Weihao and Liu Hang's expressions changed. Liu Hang was in this field, so he naturally knew that Shubnikov's words were right. If there were experts at the same level as him in China, why would Liu Hang bother?
Why go all the way to the Soviet Union to invite him? However, it is precisely because of Shubnikov’s high level that the military put forward such conditions for the introduction. At least from the perspective of the Science and Technology Commission, this condition is inconsistent with Shubnikov’s
The husband's status is commensurate, so why does the other party say that there is no need to continue talking?
The Committee of Science and Industry has also carefully investigated what kind of treatment Shubnikov can get in the Soviet Union. In the past few years, experts like Shubnikov were indeed paid very well.
Being able to live in a nice little foreign-style building now proves this point. However, after Gorkov came to power, he pursued "new thinking" and pursued "reconciliation" with the West. The military industry was increasingly ignored, and Shubnikov's
His salary has plummeted. Compared with his current situation, the conditions provided by China should be considered very good.
Of course, experts of the same level as Shubnikov will indeed receive better treatment in European and American countries than those given by China. This is why China does not go to Europe and the United States to poach people. If Shubnikov can
If you go to the West, you can naturally ask for better treatment. But the problem is that there is no shortage of experts like him in Western countries. If he wants to go, he can only downgrade himself and become someone else's assistant, and the treatment will be slow.
How? Just the difference in status, this arrogant man must not be able to accept it, right?
All these causes and consequences have been carefully studied by the Science and Technology Commission, which is why Liu Hang and Xiao Weihao were sent to contact Shubnikov. According to Liu Hang's idea, Shubnikov may propose some higher
The request was made, but this refusal was something he had not expected.
As for Xiao Weihao, although he does not know much about professional knowledge, he still knows what kind of person Shubnikov is. When the other party speaks like this, he obviously intends to speak loudly, and this is undoubtedly unacceptable to China.
But when Shubnikov said such words, he really didn't know how to respond.
"Mr. Shubnikov, what conditions do you think are acceptable to you?" Liu Hang endured and asked the other party.
Shubnikov stretched out three fingers and said: "At the very least, the conditions should be increased three times based on the conditions you proposed."
"This is impossible." Liu Hang blurted out. Fortunately, he learned Russian from a serious person and never learned any Russian curse words. Otherwise, he would probably have to use bad language.
Why don't you go and grab the tripled salary? Liu Hang cursed in his heart. The tripled salary has far exceeded the standards given to experts in Western countries. With such money, it is necessary for the Science and Technology Commission to take such private measures.
Are you going to the Soviet Union to recruit people? If you post a recruitment notice on the international headhunting market, you can probably find people, right?
To put it bluntly, Shubnikov has seized on China's weaknesses. He knows that China's aviation field is still quite backward in terms of engine materials, but is eager to catch up with the world's advanced level. Therefore, there is an urgent need for experts like him to join. I have it.
By threatening the other party's capital, he has the courage to demand exorbitant prices.
Xiao Weihao also took a deep breath, suppressed all the evil fire, and then said in the calmest tone possible:
"Mr. Shubnikov, you know that China is a developing country and its economic development level lags far behind that of the Soviet Union. We have shown our sincerity by offering you better treatment than the Soviet Union.
.The threefold increase in treatment you mentioned is something we cannot do now. However, we can promise that as China’s economic situation improves, your treatment will gradually increase and will eventually reach a level that satisfies you.
, what do you think?"
"With an annual salary of US$100,000, can't China afford such a small amount of money?" Shubnikov asked.
Xiao Weihao smiled bitterly and said: "If it only involves you, even if it is 200,000 US dollars, I think we can come up with it. However, there are thousands of experts in our system, and it is impossible to increase the salary for just you.
And if everyone’s salary improves at the same time, we won’t be able to afford it.”
"I'm different from them," Shubnikov said proudly.
Damn it! Xiao Weihao greeted the eight generations of Shubnikov's ancestors in his heart. What's the difference between you and others? Even if you are a master in a certain aspect, military industry is not just about you. You are engaged in high-temperature materials.
It's amazing. There are also people who are engaged in structural engineering and avionics. In which field are there few gods like you? Those local giants in China have the highest annual salary of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, and they are also dedicated to their work.
When it comes to work, you have the guts to offer an annual salary of US$100,000 just because you have some skills and your nose is a little higher than others?
This is what he thinks in his heart, but Xiao Weihao cannot say it out loud. They are here to poach people, not to scold him. Even if they fail to poach Shubnikov this time, they must at least maintain their friendship with each other, even if
It's a one-sided friendship. Maybe after a while, they will have to ask this great god to come out again.
The conversation was not conducive, and everyone ran out of words after a few words. Xiao Weihao could only stand up, politely nodded to Shubnikov and said goodbye, urging the other party to reconsider China's conditions, and expressed that China was willing to make some concessions, but
It is far from the level required by Shubnikov. Shubnikov did not say anything to death. He also expressed that he was very interested in China's invitation and hoped that China would consider it again and give him an opportunity similar to his.
Treatment equivalent to status.
This statement of Shubnikov was within Xiao Weihao's expectation. He could see that Shubnikov's current situation was not good. Although he boasted that he was an expert, the Soviet Union did not need him.
The West does not need him, and as for the small countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, it is even less likely to want him. His only way out is to go to China, unless he is willing to stay in poverty. What he relies on now is that China urgently needs him.
Technology, he wants to take advantage of China's weakness to get better conditions for himself.
As a negotiation skill, Xiao Weihao could consider refusing categorically and then walking away, believing that Shubnikov would eventually be unable to bear it, and Xiao Weihao would bow his head instead. However, this skill competes with the patience of both parties, and Shubnikov
The husband may still be able to wait, but can China afford to wait? Besides, who knows whether Shubnikov will really make a mistake and refuse to bow his head to death. Wouldn't this make things even more tense?
The three people walked out of the door with their heads lowered. Shubnikov just walked to the door, watched them walk a few steps, and then closed the door. This behavior was undoubtedly very impolite, but it also showed Shubnikov's
One of Kove's attitudes is that he doesn't take the other party seriously.
"Let's go, let's go to the next one first." Xiao Weihao pretended to smile and said to Liu Hang and Qin Hai.
"What did you just say?" Only at this time did Qin Hai have the opportunity to inquire about what just happened. The conversations between Xiao Weihao, Liu Hang and Shubnikov were always conducted in Russian. Qin Hai could not understand and could not understand.
It's not convenient to ask, so I don't know where they disagreed.
"The asking prices are all over the sky!" Liu Hang said bitterly, and then briefly recounted the conversation to Qin Hai. Qin Hai listened very carefully, and even asked Shubnikov's original intention in some places.
words, and then carefully savor the other person's intentions.
"Xiao Qin, you don't need to analyze. This guy named Shu wants to work in China. Although he looks awesome, he is actually living a very tight life. This can be seen from his wife's dress.
He came out. However, he understood that we needed his skills, so he insisted on paying us the salary. We can't refuse it right now. The next step will be to see who can stretch who." Xiao Weihao said one of them.
The mystery of.
"He said he is one of the top experts in the world?" Qin Hai asked.
Liu Hang nodded and said, "This is not to brag. He does have a lot of expertise in austenitic high-temperature alloys. And this problem is a stumbling block that plagues our engine research. Our country is far behind in this field."
"Does this guy understand English?" Qin Hai asked again.
"What?" Xiao Weihao was a little surprised, wondering why Qin Hai asked such a question.
Qin Haidao: "If he understands English, I plan to have a chat with him to destroy his prestige. If he does not understand English, it will be difficult. You two just chatted with him for so long, if you come now to give me
If I act as a translator, he will be a little embarrassed. These intellectuals all want a face."
"He understands English." Liu Hang said with certainty, "On his bookshelf, there are many original English books. It is impossible for a scholar like him to not understand English. But, Xiao Qin, how do you want to destroy his prestige?
, His achievements in his field are not bluffing, not to mention you, even me, if I want to talk to him in terms of technology, I can only be defeated."
"Haha, he's not bluffing, but he can't stop my bluff." Qin Hai said with a smile, "Let's go and sit in the car while I go back and have a chat with him. Don't worry, I'm just asking for advice.
If the issue is really discussed, it will not affect your affairs." (To be continued...)
