The first thousand three hundred and ninety-two chapters
I originally thought that Cheng An was his classmate, and the person's current situation was not very satisfactory. There should be a relatively high chance of this invitation. However, it was a pity that although they met and talked happily,
Many old things from the past came up, but they were limited to this.
Cheng An simply declined Lin Puxiang's request. This did not mean that he did not care about his classmates, or that he looked down on the scale of Xuzhou Iron and Steel Company and the treatment it provided, but because he had already agreed to the agreement.
Invited by South China University in Guangzhou, he will soon serve as the dean of the School of Materials Science and Technology of South China University.
This situation made Lin Puxiang feel a little regretful. He didn't expect that he was a step too late, but Lin Puxiang was also happy to mention Cheng An.
Cheng An's experience at Jinling University was unsatisfactory, which was the premise for Lin Puxiang to invite him. But since he is now going to work at South China University in Guangzhou, and he will also serve as the dean of the School of Materials, this is naturally better for Cheng An.
s Choice.
At present, in the Tang Empire, the treatment of scientific researchers in all aspects is very high. This high treatment is not only reflected in monetary treatment, but also in political treatment.
Like South China University in Guangzhou, a key imperial university that integrates education and scientific research like Jinling University, its political status is quite high. The president is a third-grade official, and the deans of each college are basically a third-grade official.
South China University in Guangzhou was one of the first institutions of higher learning established by the empire. Its predecessor was South China Higher Normal College. Later, after Jinling University and Imperial College, the empire planned to build or upgrade the original normal schools and establish five comprehensive ones.
Universities, and mobilize elites from the national education system, and provide faculty support from the Royal Institute of Technology.
As a result, there are currently seven comprehensive universities in the empire, namely Guozijian University, Jinling University, Chengtian University of Science and Technology, Jiangnan University, Huguang University, North China University, and South China University.
The layout of these seven universities is also very interesting. There are three in Jinling City, namely Imperial College, Jinling University, Chengtian University of Science and Technology, then Jiangnan University in Shanghai, South China University in Guangzhou, and North China University in Tianjin.
Huguang University in Wuchang.
Generally speaking, three universities are concentrated in Jinling City as the center, and then one university is established in each of the four economically important areas in the southeast, northwest, and northwest.
Of course, in addition to these seven comprehensive universities, in fact, the empire has successively established a number of universities over the years. The principle is basically to establish one in each provincial road.
Under these universities, there are also numerous vocational schools and normal schools. The academic system of vocational colleges and normal schools is not four years, but three years. Their original intention is to cultivate professionals.
In principle, there should be at least one such vocational school and normal school in every province and highway, and some provinces with relatively strong economies can also set up several more.
It is worth noting that the Royal Institute of Technology does not belong to the category of the above-mentioned universities. The Royal Institute of Technology has always been a very special existence. In terms of ownership, it does not belong to the Department of Education of the Ministry of Rites, but is the same as royal enterprises such as the Royal Bank.
, directly belongs to the royal family.
However, its management power is not in the Royal Assets Department, but like the Royal Youth Military Academy, the Royal School and other schools, it is directly under the management of the Education Department of the Hanlin Academy.
However, although the Education Department of the Hanlin Academy has nominal management rights over the Royal Institute of Technology, they can only manage the administrative department of the school, or more specifically, only the Teaching Office of the Royal Institute of Technology, and this Teaching Office is only responsible for
Logistics affairs are not responsible for teaching tasks and scientific research tasks.
The authority for teaching and research, including funding allocation, lies with committees composed of the heads of departments at the Royal Institute of Technology.
At the same time, the school implements a very special senior responsibility system. Simply put, professors are responsible for managing and teaching researchers, researchers manage and teach seniors, seniors manage juniors, and juniors manage sophomores.
Student Management Freshman Students.
So you will see that in the classes of freshman students, they are not taught by professors or researchers, but by seniors and juniors, and the class system is often small, with one senior teaching several freshmen.
Carry out study.
Researchers are the ones who teach juniors and seniors, and occasionally professors will teach in person.
And under this special system, the Teaching Office actually has no power to manage any student!
The system of the Royal Institute of Technology is very special, and this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that this is not a university at all. Although it is called a college, it is more like a self-cultivation institution.
A scientific research institution for talented people, well, a scientific research institution directly belonging to the royal family.
To a certain extent, the Royal Institute of Technology is the highest scientific research institution of the Tang Empire. As for the Royal Academy of Sciences, it has always had only a false name, and now it is almost forgotten.
Putting aside the special institution of the Royal Institute of Technology, among the many colleges and universities in the empire, the seven comprehensive universities including Jinling University are the top educational institutions, and they are also the top educational institutions accessible to ordinary people. As for the Royal Institute of Technology
The academy is not a place that ordinary people can go to. It is a place that only geniuses and perverts can have access to.
Now the Royal Institute of Technology's entrance exams and ordinary papers are as difficult as the graduation exams of other universities. There are ordinary written exams and essay exams. This is not the key. The key thing is that starting from the year before last, IQ tests were also conducted.
If you fail the test, no matter how good your written test score is, it will be of no use.
Because what the Royal Institute of Technology needs is not ordinary students who work hard, but geniuses who work hard!
Not counting the special case of the Royal Institute of Technology, among the many institutions of higher learning in the empire, South China University is naturally one of the first-class universities, and its position as dean of the School of Materials is of great importance.
For Cheng An, this is still not the most important thing. What is important is that key universities like South China University have no shortage of scientific research funds. Cheng An will receive a large amount of scientific research funds in the future to continue his research.
After the invitation to Cheng An failed, Lin Puxiang did not give up and soon found Shen Jiaxin, a senior engineer at Jiangnan Iron and Steel Research Institute, but was still declined!
Shen Jiaxin is indeed planning to change jobs, but he does not intend to go to a second-rate company like Xuzhou Iron and Steel Company. He also revealed that he plans to start his own business.
These days, many technical experts are starting their own businesses. As long as you have great skills and a good reputation, a bunch of rich people will line up outside to give you money to start your own business. Of course, they also want shares.
Shen Jiaxin was obviously extremely disappointed with some of the systems of large companies when he was working at Jiangnan Iron and Steel Company. He felt that no matter what company he worked for, he was just working for others, and depending on other people's faces, he might as well start his own business and conduct free research and development.
, anyway, a bunch of people lined up outside to give him money to start a business.
It doesn't matter if his business fails. He is still a top materials science expert and can leave with a slap on the butt. Then he can work in other companies or simply teach at a university. Only the investors will suffer.
Continuous invitations to both of them failed, which made Lin Puxiang a little frustrated, because the third one, Sun Yuan, a senior graduate of the Royal Institute of Technology, was even more difficult to invite!
Although I haven’t met Sun Yuan yet, from what Lin Puxiang learned, Sun Yuan was born in poverty. He earned a scholarship and was admitted to the Royal Institute of Technology and graduated successfully this year.
.
Moreover, Sun Yuan was arrogant and had a great desire for money. In order to earn more money, he even gave up teaching at the Royal Institute of Technology, which allowed Lin Pu to go to the capital.
It's an extremely enviable opportunity.
Because if you stay in school to teach, you will have a good future and a high political status, but although the financial benefits are good, it cannot be compared with working in a foreign company or starting your own business.
However, what surprised Lin Puxiang even more was that Sun Yuan did not refuse Lin Puxiang's invitation, but instead formally discussed the treatment issue with him.
Lin Puxiang came here with a sense of luck, but he did not expect that Sun Yuan would not refuse.
But when he heard Sun Yuan's request, he finally understood why Sun Yuan rejected invitations from other companies or investors.
This person is indeed as ambitious as the rumors say!
Sun Yuan proposed two options to him. One was that Sun Yuan directly joined Xuzhou Iron and Steel Company and directly led the research of various alloy steels. However, he required 15% of the shares and a one-time payment of 100,000 yuan.
franchise fee.
The second option is that Xuzhou Iron and Steel Company can choose to invest in the steel company he founded. Specifically, Xuzhou Iron and Steel Company invests 100,000 yuan to purchase 35% of the shares, and then unilaterally injects 300,000 yuan.
No matter which one of these two options it was, Lin Puxiang discovered that Sun Yuan had a request to directly withdraw 100,000 yuan of funds!
Moreover, this money was not meant as an investment, but was given directly to him personally. This made Lin Puxiang have to be cautious.
He didn't care why Sun Yuan wanted the money or what he would do with it, but one hundred thousand yuan was not a small amount.
No wonder they haven’t negotiated with other companies or investors!
Investing 100,000 yuan into a new company to fund research and development, and directly giving 100,000 yuan to Sun Yuan are two different things.
Sun Yuan also did not give an immediate reply, but said that he would think about it.
Xuzhou Iron and Steel Company's annual profit is only 20,000 to 300,000 yuan, and the total value of Xuzhou Iron and Steel's assets is only around 17,800,000 yuan.
Sun Yuan asked for one hundred thousand, so Lin Puxiang had to think carefully.
