I Am the President of the University

In the conference room.

After the last interviewer left, Chen Hao looked at the time and saw that it was only about 4:30.

Then he said to the people around him: "Professor Chen, Professor Fang, Professor Ren, do you have anything else to be busy with later? If not, let's go have a coffee together."

Logically speaking, an interview does not require the appearance of the three chief scientists and the principal. The main reason is that today's interviews are all with full-time researchers. \b

As the National Laboratory of Advanced Materials and Semiconductors, the current few laboratories are too monotonous, so several new laboratories need to be opened.

This is why the scope of this recruitment revelation is particularly broad, not limited to individual directions, but the entire material field. \b

Chen Chong and Fang Haosen are certainly not stupid. How long it takes to drink coffee is only about half an hour, and what the principal said is obviously a matter of fact.

The four of them moved to the Ideal Cafe.

After taking their seats, Chen Hao looked around the three of them and asked first: "I interviewed 14 people all day today. Except for Dr. Huang Jie's research group that has been confirmed, what do you think of the others?"

"There are some very good people, but I don't think their ideas are very good. For example, Su Zhe, a Ph.D. from Oxford, has a very good resume, but his ideas are too naive. I think it will take two or three years of practice before he can take on the important responsibility." Chen Chong said seriously After recalling it, I feel that the one who impressed me the most is this one.

The atmosphere of Guanghua University is not like that of other established universities. Chen Chong and Fang Haosen are both young scholars. No matter how capable they are, in places like Zhejiang University and Peking University, it would still take some years to become deans and chief scientists.

But Guanghua doesn't pay attention to these. Guanghua only looks at ability and character.

The capable ones go up, the mediocre ones go down.

Among the interviewees today, only Huang Jie has the highest overall evaluation.

Professor Fang Haosen and Professor Ren Hong also expressed their opinions one after another. Their evaluations were slightly different, but they were roughly the same.

Chen Hao sighed and said helplessly: "Then I will ask Deng Hui to send a notice later."

Among these 14 people, many of them are from the Chinese Academy of Sciences system or from 985 universities, and only a handful of two or three are unemployed.

The reason why the other party came to Guanghua University for an interview was to start an independent group.

Since Guanghua doesn't give permission to start a group, it will most likely refuse.

After chatting for a while about recruiting people, Chen Hao asked the three of them about the work of the laboratory.

…

Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan.

Wu Yucheng is an associate researcher at the National Institute of Materials Science and Technology. He studied in Japan for a Ph.D. and worked for several years. It is not easy to be an associate researcher until now.

Japan is a country that attaches great importance to qualifications, even in elementary and middle schools.

Students in the first grade of junior high school must respect their seniors in the second and third grades of junior high school. If they do not respect their seniors, they will even be punished.

The same is true in career.

If you are not from a prestigious school and do not have a strong background, even if you are very capable, you still need to go through qualifications if you want to be promoted.

Wu Yucheng's research direction is functional ceramics. After all, in this research field, Japan's National Institute of Materials Research is a recognized global leader in the industry.

In the functional ceramics, or advanced ceramics industry, Japan’s production, academic and research system is also very complete.

Production - The world's top ten advanced ceramic companies are: Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Kyocera Corporation, TDK Co., Ltd., Rogers Corporation, CoorsTek, Saint-Gobain Group, CeramTec, Hitachi Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Sumitomo Chemical, and Japan Special Ceramics.

Among the top ten companies in the advanced ceramics industry, six are Japanese companies. From raw material ceramic powder to preparation process equipment and product design, Japanese companies occupy almost more than 70% of the global advanced ceramics market.

Study - Tokyo University ranks 15th among the world's universities in the field of materials science. Kyoda, Tohoku University and Tokyo Institute of Technology are closely behind Tokyo University, ranking 20+, not to mention Osaka University, Kyushu University and other schools.

Research - The National Institute of Materials Science and Technology of Japan is Japan's only national research and development institution specializing in materials science, and its status in the field of functional ceramics goes without saying.

In this situation, Wu Yucheng didn't understand what Huang Jie was thinking.

Guanghua University and the National Institute of Materials Science and Technology of Japan, then he will definitely have more development opportunities if he stays here.

"Old Wu, don't refuse in a hurry. Let me ask you a question. Do you really plan to settle in Japan for the rest of your life?"

"Think about it, how many years have you not been back to your country?"

Faced with Huang Jie's question, Wu Yucheng fell silent.

Although the scientific research environment in Japan is better than that in China, the social environment here is quite depressing, especially the purple sand subway that is performed almost every day across Japan.

The impact of declining birthrate + aging on Japan is visible to the naked eye.

It is more suitable for a short stay of one and a half years.

"I should return to China in a few years." Wu Yucheng said slowly.

Now the country is gradually paying more attention to the advanced ceramics industry, and is also supporting some companies engaged in the advanced ceramics industry. The gap between China and Japan and the United States is gradually narrowing.

Huang Jie knew exactly what Wu Yucheng was thinking. He said bluntly: "Old Wu, you plan to gain a few years of experience, then go back to China through talent introduction, and then enter the Chinese Academy of Sciences system or teach in a university, right?"

"You are well aware of the scientific research environment in our country. How many years have you been working in Japan? How many more years do you plan to work after returning to China?"

"When will I be able to survive?"

"45 years old? 50 years old? Or 55 years old?"

Wu Yucheng opened his mouth and closed it again.

He didn't know how to argue.

Because, this is indeed the case.

Huang Jie's voice continued to sound.

"I have been working in the Zhangjiang Laboratory since I returned to China. The salary there is quite high, and the 955 job is also very relaxing. However, such a salty life will only corrode our knowledge like a chronic poison."

"I now join Guanghua University, and the other party directly gave me the authority to start a group, a starting scientific research fund of 30 million, and a scientific research team of 50 people. "

"How old am I this year? If it were another school, could I be the laboratory director?"

"No way!"

"Moreover, what was the purpose of our studies in the first place? It was to one day be able to serve the motherland with what we have learned!"

"Now the opportunity has come. Our country is lagging behind in the field of advanced ceramics. In particular, the raw material high-purity silicon nitride powder has been limited to the Japanese UBE company. How can this be done?"

"We must fill the gap in the field of high-purity silicon nitride powder in our country!"

"We can only watch as the chip gets stuck and can't do anything, but with high-purity silicon nitride powder, we can do it!"

At the end, Huang Jie said quietly: "The environment and conditions we have today for studying abroad were created by the batches of seniors who studied abroad. It was they who returned home after studying, making the country prosperous, and making China stand tall in the world. At the top of the nation, foreigners no longer dare to underestimate us.”

"Mr. Hua Luogeng and Mr. Qian Xuesen, their treatment in the United States was several times that of ours in Japan. However, these two gentlemen gave up all preferential treatment in the United States and resolutely embarked on the journey back to China."

"Old Wu, come back! I'm waiting for you at Guanghua University!"

After a long time, Wu Yucheng smiled bitterly.

He sighed: "I didn't know you were so eloquent before. Now that you've said that, how can I refuse?"

"Besides, my passion, Wu Yucheng, is still there!"

"For the sake of the country and the nation, I should go back!"

For some reason, a passage came to Wu Yucheng's mind:

…
