Chapter 26 Really exceeds expectations

"Who have you found?"

Chen Nian asked.

"There are many. I have basically found several outstanding seniors from the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics. I have also contacted several seniors from the School of Materials, Dynamics, Mathematics and Statistics, and the School of Physics."

"But overall, the Aviation Academy's intention is relatively high."

"I've already negotiated for two in the past two days and got more than 3,000 yuan."

More than three thousand!

Upon hearing this number, Chen Nian and Li Xiang's eyes widened at the same time.

Li Xiang was surprised because he thought the money was too much. After all, during this period, the salary of ordinary employees was only one or two thousand yuan, but Zhang Rui got almost double the income just by talking about it.

But Chen Nian was different. He felt that the money was spent too decisively.

3,000 yuan can be exchanged for an opportunity to change the direction of important talents. Isn't this deal a good deal?

The other party's plans are very big.

It is conceivable that after these two so-called "negotiated" candidates accept the consultant's job, they will definitely have more temptations in front of them.

Foreign companies, high salary, social status.

In this era, no matter which one of these three items is taken out, it will attract the envy of many people.

Even just a money offensive is enough to make them fall into it.

On the other hand, what conditions can our side provide?

I want money but no money, I want a future but no future.

There really is no competitiveness to retain these excellent talents.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian couldn't help but sigh.

A school like the National University of Defense Technology can also restrict students from going abroad and restricting students' employment. But what can ordinary universities like NPU do about this?

You can't defeat it by spending money, and you can't defeat it by using technology.——

Unless, draw them an unparalleled pie.

And it needs to be something that can be implemented quickly.

Project No. 22 is an opportunity.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, this pie-drawing process may continue until it enters a virtuous circle, using old pie to support new people, completely cutting off the path of brain drain!

Chen Nian had already made up his mind. He stopped paying attention to Zhang Rui, who was still chattering. He quickly finished dinner, said goodbye to Li Xiang, and quickly returned to Chen Guo's dormitory.

After briefly sorting out the information at hand, Chen Nian called Chen Guo.

And the first sentence he said after being connected was:

"Professor Chen, I suspect that some foreign companies are deliberately intercepting our aviation talents!"

Chen Guo on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, and then replied:

"In fact, we have also discovered this problem. Not only in aviation, but also in other fields such as electronics, semiconductors, energy, and information, foreign companies are recruiting talents at any cost."

"We have actually responded, but our current response methods are too simple and not strong enough."

"Generally speaking, this is not a problem that can be solved in a short time."

"It's good that you can discover this, but to be honest, you can't do much. It's better to calm down and finish our project No. 22."

"That's what I want to say."

Chen Nian quickly replied.

"Professor Chen, has the list of personnel for Project 22 been decided? How many people are currently participating in the project?"

"The preliminary estimate is that there are about 50 people. What's wrong?"

"not enough."

Chen Nian replied immediately.

"It's enough in the early stage. Our current staffing is designed to only make shells and blowing tunnels."

"If you can really help us solve the internal structure and even material problems in the later stage, then this project will be upgraded to a real aircraft research and development project, and we will continue to add people."

"Therefore, the problem of insufficient manpower is expected to arise at least in the second phase of the project."

"To be honest, I am very conflicted right now. I hope that we can solve the technical difficulties quickly and directly start strategic projects; but I am also worried that the progress will be too fast and the talents will not be able to keep up."

"You know, Shen Fei and Cheng Fei already have projects on hand. It's not easy to squeeze out more people."

Chen Guo's tone was a bit regretful. The project did not advance any further, and the more difficulties and complexity he felt became more and more complex.

At first it was structure, then it became manufacturing, then materials, and funding.

Now, even talent is a problem.

"What if we introduce current students? Current students starting from graduate students!"

"Ah? How is this possible? Not to mention graduate students, even ordinary engineers may not be able to actually participate in the project. All they can do is do odd jobs."

"The design of new aircraft is a process of continuous exploration, and exploration requires the support of professional knowledge and experience. Not to mention graduate students, even doctoral students may not be qualified."

I don't need them to explore, I just need them to execute.

In the meantime, just learn by doing.

Chen Nian said silently in his heart.

Of course, he couldn't say this to Chen Guo now, because his current contribution was not enough to support him making such an "arrogant" statement.

At least you have to wait until the next analysis is completed and the engine drawings are available before you can confidently put forward your various requirements.

But now, he just needs a promise.

"Professor Chen, you are worried that these potential talents cannot be used, but what if I say, I just hope to retain them in this way?"

"Keeping them? This can be considered a way, but to put it bluntly, raising so many idle people is too much for us to bear."

"Don't worry, we can afford it. I just need you to give me a promise: if the project results exceed expectations, follow the method I mentioned and introduce a group of on-campus talents to fundamentally prevent the brain drain."

Chen Guo on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds.

He mentally evaluated the feasibility of Chen Nian's words.

In fact, as a senior technician, he knows better than anyone else the current situation of brain drain and the harm caused by this situation.

If it is allowed to develop, China will fall into an embarrassing window period with no one available for some time to come.

Of course, there will be no problems within ten years, or even twenty years, because the talents that will be needed in the next twenty years were basically trained in the previous ten years, that is, in the 1990s.

But what if it’s after 2020? Or even 2030?

The terrible talent gap may directly cut off China's path forward.

He took a deep breath and finally said:

"Okay, I can apply. This request is actually very far-sighted and should not be rejected directly."

"But the question is, how do you define results that exceed expectations?"

Chen Nian smiled and replied:

"Don't worry, this is not a problem at all."

"Give me some time and I will let everyone know what true 'exceeding expectations' means."
Chapter completed!
