"We have recruited more than 2,100 people in Hamburg, and in the Ruhr area, this number has reached more than 11,000 people. They are mainly concentrated in heavy industries such as steel industry, machinery manufacturing, chemical industry, and coal mining. In light industry, we have also recruited more than 3,000 people.
People mainly work in the food, textile, papermaking, printing and other industries. In the field of education and scientific research, we have recruited 64 people with professional titles such as professors and senior engineers and above, 214 people with professional titles such as associate professors, and 457 people with professional titles such as lecturers and engineers.
"
In a building in Hamburg, a Romanian staff member was reporting the current recruitment results to Karust in the office.
Because of Hamburg's convenient transportation, Romania has placed its headquarters for recruiting German talents here, and it is here that Carlust is responsible for guiding the recruitment work in each region.
After listening to the report from his subordinates, Kallust put down the pen in his hand and gave instructions. "The introduction of education and scientific research talents is not enough. We need to increase our efforts, especially to teach senior talents such as senior engineers."
"I will send a telegram later to inform them of your requirements. However, we are restricted by Britain, France, the United States, Italy and other countries in recruiting these high-level talents, and they are also wooing these talents. Especially the United States
People, we can’t compete with their conditions.”
The report from his subordinate made Karust frown. "Then start from other aspects, starting from the resettlement and life of their families. After all, our funds are not as rich as the Yankees, and we cannot provide as much resettlement fees and research.
Funding.”
"OK."
After his subordinates left, Calust rubbed his swollen temples. Of course he knew how wealthy Americans were. The settlement allowance alone for a professor at the level reached 1,000-1,200 US dollars, while Romania could only give 500-1,200 US dollars.
600 US dollars, and there is also a big gap in research funding. Moreover, the gap between the United States and Romania is even greater when it comes to some famous talents.
This is not to say that Romania cannot afford such a large amount of expenses, but that the domestic standards must be comprehensively considered. If Romania can also provide the level of the United States, then the domestic scientific research and education personnel who work hard and have no complaints will not be raised. Every year
The financial expenditures for education and scientific research have been arranged at the beginning of the year. Once you increase the funding for education and scientific research, what will happen to the funding of other government departments?
Moreover, recruiting education and scientific research talents in Germany is a long-term task. It is not a matter of one or two years but more than ten years. Edel had already explained it to him in detail before setting off. If you pay too much now, it will not be possible in the future.
Calust didn't hear the words "reduce the value of rice and fight with the enemy of rice", but he also knew this truth.
"Ta, ta, ta"
At this time, a knock on the door interrupted Caluster's thoughts.
"Come in."
As Calust's voice fell, a subordinate pushed the door open and entered.
"Polk, how are things going?"
Kallust called this subordinate by name and asked. Polk was the person in charge of following up on famous German scientists. He mainly wanted to recruit these people who were famous in the scientific community to Romania to improve domestic science.
level. However, the competition he faces is also fierce. Countries such as Britain, France, and the United States are also interested in these people, and Germany is trying to retain them.
It is not easy at all to introduce these scientific giants to Romania, but as long as one of them succeeds, Romania will make money. Just like the superstars of future football clubs, if they can be introduced, they will make money. Whether it is from their scientific research fields or their
As far as Romania's reputation is concerned, the benefits are not too great.
"There is not much progress at the moment. Many people are politely refusing, and only a few are considering it. However, we have too many competitors and the conditions are not very good. It is very troublesome."
Polk's words also shed light on Romania's current embarrassment in the field of science. That is, Romania's current research results in the field of scientific research are too few, and Romanian scientists are not well-known. Although Romania has increased its investment in research funds in the past two years,
However, scientific research requires long-term investment to produce results. Now Romania is still in the stage of expanding laboratory equipment and preparing for research when it is not yet able to produce results.
This is why no other famous scientists have come to Romania in recent years except Rudolf Diesel, who was recruited by Edel himself and was in trouble at the time. And strictly speaking, Rudolf Diesel is an inventor.
rather than scientists.
"Continue to follow up. These people are too important to Romania. We cannot slack off. As long as there is a chance, we need to use 200% of our efforts to fight for it. By the way, what do you want to come in?"
After Carruther finished his request, he remembered to ask Polk why he came to see him.
"We have spent all our monthly expenses, and we need you, boss, to approve the funding of US$20,000."
While Calust was writing a note to collect funds, he asked, "How come this month is spent so fast?"
"Mainly this month, I visited many homes in a row. When I visited Max Planck's house, I found that their family was living in difficulty, so I took it upon myself to help them."
What Polk said is indeed true. Max Planck is currently in a grieving stage. His eldest son Karl died in the Battle of Verdun, and his second son Erwin was captured by the French army in 1914 and was only released after the armistice.
The eldest daughter Grete died two years ago when giving birth to her first child, and the second daughter also died in childbirth this year. Currently, only the second son and the youngest son are left with him. It is worth mentioning that both of his daughters are married
Giving it to the same person is simply the most tragic scenario of a white-haired person giving a black-haired person.
"Go ahead and don't let our work fall behind Vienna."
Kallust handed the written note to Polk.
Polk took the note and said: "Don't worry, I won't let Vienna get ahead of me. But I heard that they are looking for many young talents locally."
Yes, Romania not only recruits high-level talents in Germany, but also arranges a group of people in Vienna, the core territory of the former Austria-Hungary, to do the same thing. After all, the disintegrated Austro-Hungarian Empire still has a lot of talents, but the funding is higher than them.
Much less.
Faced with Polk's inquiry, Kallust replied: "Yes, Vienna mainly found many capable young people through other means because of the fierce competition among many famous scientists. I know what you are thinking, but we
No more than Vienna, we are looking for young people as well as famous scientists. You must know that our funding is much higher than theirs. If we can only achieve the same results as them, how can we show our abilities in front of His Majesty."
Polk pocketed the note and continued: "Okay, I understand. There happen to be a few young scientists who have just become famous. I'll try my luck."
"Go ahead."
For his own independent and capable subordinate, Calust also delegated quite a lot of power.
What the two of them didn't know at all was that Vienna had recruited a young man who would later become famous for his cat. It is unknown whether this young man will be able to publish the theory that made him famous in the future. But I believe this is also true.
It's not difficult, after all, the ability is there.
