Chapter 1593 cooperation and difficulty in recruiting
Regarding Horst's directness, Steele and Mark didn't deliberately play with it. Coming from academic backgrounds, they actually didn't like that approach. If possible, they would prefer to be more direct.
Therefore, they responded directly to Horst's proposal: "That's what we have in mind. Does Master Horst have any specific suggestions for cooperation?"
"Specific suggestions?"
Horst did not answer directly this time, but asked a question first: "What difficulties did you encounter in completing this series of tasks?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Steele shook his head and sighed, "There are so many problems! We were still talking just now!"
"right!"
At this time, Mark also echoed: "What engineering design? How do we know this? We were trying our luck before, and the result is as you can imagine, every plan submitted was rejected."
In response to this, Horst suddenly interjected, "I don't think there is any problem with this."
"No problem? Does Master Horst think so? Did you discover something?" Mark asked quickly.
"During the time we received the mission, people in our research office have gradually worked out a set of design theories that just meet the above requirements. In practice, we have also discovered that complex magic facilities, if the building has special engineering
Design, then, whether it is stability in use, convenience in later maintenance, or cost, it is better than not specifically designing.”
"Huh--"
After Horst's reminder, Mark and Steele also seemed to realize something. Although in the past they only tried designs based on luck, they also did a lot of testing experiments.
Looking back now, it is true that as Horst said, specific engineering designs can play a positive role in complex magic facilities and buildings.
Thinking again about the requirements of the task, perhaps the above has discovered this a long time ago. Assigning tasks to them at this time may be to give them an opportunity to learn and practice!
Thinking of this, Mark Steele became more interested in the cooperation proposed by Horst, so he asked again: "Master Horst, what suggestions do you have for our cooperation?"
The Institute of Science and Technology values cooperation. Although Horst joined the Institute of Science and Technology later than Mark and Steele, he also knows and agrees with the ideas of the Institute of Science and Technology, so he said:
"It's very simple. We gather all the manpower, material resources, equipment, and facilities that the three research laboratories can mobilize to focus on research. In the end, the proceeds from the task will be equally divided among the three of us!"
"That's it!"
Mark and Steele looked at each other and agreed without much hesitation, then asked: "What are the specific cooperation matters?"
"Didn't I just say that? Our research laboratory has initially explored a set of design theories. For the time being, we will focus on our methods. If you have any different opinions during this period, you can always bring them up for discussion and verification. If your
The idea is better, so it’s natural to use yours.”
Horst doesn't mind whose method is used. Being able to complete the task and gain something from this task is what he cares about most. As for why Mark and Steele must be involved, of course -
“To complete this task, the number of people we have now is far from enough. However, not long ago, the Qianjin Society just issued a proposal to encourage the number of members in the society to be reduced and to join the Academic Affairs Office.
"It's too difficult to recruit people in the research laboratory now. You have a good relationship with the five-person committee. Let's see if you can talk to them and ask them to reserve a group of people for us."
In fact, Horst not only asked for people to let Mark and Steele, but even now, the research laboratories established by Mark and Steele after them have more members than the first ones established by him.
.
Almost all new mages who have recently obtained formal ranks are members of the Institute. When choosing their employment direction, in addition to considering their own conditions and goals, they will also be affected by joining the Institute to a large extent.
At the collective meeting of the Admissions Association not long ago, the proposal to reduce part-time jobs was put forward. As a result, almost everyone gave up part-time jobs. When it was said that they wanted to support the Academic Affairs Office, most of the people who originally gave up part-time jobs directly chose to join the Academic Affairs Office.
In other words, after the group meeting not long ago, not only did the independent research laboratories fail to benefit from the increasing wave of new mages, but they were also overwhelmed with many things due to the lack of part-time staff.
In the past, Horst always thought that highly mobile part-time staff would only bring trouble. Those who leave today will have to be retaught tomorrow, but in fact, the number of new mages in the Tower of Time is not too large to count.
degree.
Even if you are a part-time employee, after a long time, you can basically work in various departments, and then you are a skilled worker!
Another important point is that the low wages of part-time workers can greatly reduce the operating costs of the laboratory. For an independent research laboratory leader like Horst, part-time workers are actually not that bad.
"How many people does Master Horst think we need in total?" Steele asked.
"Of course the more the better!" Horst said without hesitation.
"This is impossible!"
Steele shook his head repeatedly, "It's not like you don't know that the Academic Affairs Office is short of people. Now it's mainly promoting moral education courses, and there are also magic affairs officers. Because it's in the president's territory, many people have submitted applications, leaving us
There are even fewer people, so you’d better be accurate!”
"Alas -" Horst sighed, "When the new apprentices first came in, I thought there were too many people in the Tower of Time, but now I think there are too few people."
Of course, he was just sighing. In fact, if he is willing to wait, more and more new mages will obtain formal ranks as time goes by.
"Now I have a total of 9 people here, and your two research laboratories have a total of 26 people, so that's 35 people. I think we have to make up 50 people anyway!"
"50 people! You are so rude!"
Having said that, Steele did not refute, because he also felt that there was a need to increase manpower, but the gap of 15 people was difficult to fill!
"By the way, Mark, I remember you just hired someone a few days ago. Do you know there are still unassigned files in the Human Resources Department?"
"No, and even if there is, it is reserved for others, and it is not our turn at all. If you expect the Human Resources Department to allocate it, it is better to just go to the public floor and shout twice!" Mark complained a few times.
It is really not easy to recruit people, so what about an independent research laboratory? A research laboratory like this that has just been established and has no results at all can not attract full-time staff to join under normal circumstances, so it can only find part-time employees.
The person he recruited before was a level 3 apprentice who was directly contacted by the trustee. He supported the person to pass the professional exam, and then allowed him to join his research laboratory.
Hearing the conversation between Steele and Mark, Horst's heart couldn't help but sink, and he placed his last hope on Steele.
