Three months passed in a flash, and China is about to usher in another Spring Festival in the Year of the Rooster. The Spring Festival in 2029 is Tuesday, February 13, the day before Western Valentine's Day. This is very friendly to many young men and girls in the same city. The second day of the Chinese New Year is Valentine's Day. At this time, not only will there be a holiday that makes people feel at ease, but their wallets are generally relatively bulging. At least, the small romantic problems that young people like are not big.

But this period may not be as happy as China at this time for many people in the West, especially major Western universities. The extremely hidden talent loss has caused more and more universities to pay attention to this situation.

In fact, from the perspective of Edwin George, he can be said to be very restrained and cautious.

Although Ning Wei gave him a chicken blood, making him feel that what he did was not shameful, being at a high position still made him feel natural cautious. In the past three months, he has recommended more than a dozen physics-related professors and engineers to China every month, which is only about 40 people in total, making more than 10 million US dollars in profits.

In Edwin George's opinion, this would not attract much attention at all.

This is indeed the case.

CERN did not notice that its supervisors have become the middleman to dig up their own corners. For a large research institution that only has thousands of people, the stay and departure of more than thirty people may be a bit abnormal compared to usual days, but it is not conspicuous.

After all, many physicists who do research at CERN are not formal employees of CERN. Many of them work in major universities and laboratories in various countries. They are originally relatively mobile. If they don’t have a task at hand, they don’t need to say hello to CERN when leaving. Anyway, their salary is not handled by CERN.

The only thing that made Edwin George feel a little uneasy was probably Ning Wei or China's attraction to these scientists.

From his perspective, the most optimistic situation is that he introduced scientists who had some interest in developing in China to Ning Wei. After these scientists went to China, they could come back without hesitation. If this ratio could be maintained at about 50%, it would be perfect.

In this way, he can get money and will not have much impact on his current work.

But the current situation is that he introduced forty-three people, only two of whom went to the interview and returned to CERN. The others have completed the resignation procedures and have made preparations for long-term stays.

Moreover, the two Edwin Georges who came back were not sure whether they were not used to being in China or whether they didn’t need these two people too much. Because they were mainly doing research on the direction of condensed matter physics calculation, this area seems to be China’s strength.

At least judging from his communication with these scientists who went to China, they seemed to be very satisfied with the new environment.

It is said that the canteen of the research institute they are now working for has senior chefs from all over the world, and they can eat the freshest ingredients every day. This is nothing, the most outrageous thing is that according to what Ronnie Lansing said when he was chatting with him one day, he felt that he had received unprecedented respect and meticulous care in China, because the laboratory he was responsible for even had a living assistant who specialized in serving him...

So he doesn't need to worry about any life problems. Even if he forgets to eat when he is busy, his assistant will send the food to the laboratory on time and watch him check it out after eating. He will remind him regularly every day to ensure a certain amount of exercise. He will also take the initiative to help him plan his travel plans during vacation and introduce friends to him so that his daily life will not be so boring. Strictly monitor his physical condition and then give various health suggestions...

Well, because this guy is obviously busy, the two only chatted for about ten minutes. But the information revealed has already made Edwin George feel something different...

Is this kind of treatment necessary to cultivate these scientists into being unable to take care of themselves and thus unable to leave China at all?

If it were just that, Edwin George might not be too worried. After all, everyone’s needs are different.

But some scientists who focus more on personal privacy and do not require similar services obviously have different treatments. It is said that all treatments are optional. It seems that everyone can choose the life and leisure method that suits them the most. What’s even more exaggerated is that Edwin George learned from many feedback that they seemed to have found the kind of confidant who understands them best after going to China...

The kind of confidant who is not only like-minded, but just chatting a few words to find everyone's outlook on life, values, philosophy, life, etc., many views and hobbies are consistent. They can easily find topics that both parties are very interested in, and they will not feel tired even if they sit and chat all night!

Simply put, I understand them better than my parents!

When I learned the news, Edwin George only felt a question mark in his head...

People all over the world know that confidants are closely related to the growth environment and thinking patterns, so the so-called confidants that these people have never met in the Western world happened to meet in the Eastern world, which is completely different from their own growth experience?

It's okay to have one or two. After all, there have never been a shortage of exceptions in this world, but he has learned that at least more than a dozen scientists from the past have had the same feedback, which makes Edwin George completely unable to understand. It's just a big deal...

He had no idea how China did this. This was probably because he hadn't thought about March yet, and he wouldn't have thought that in addition to carrying daily scientific research and computing tasks, March would also seriously analyze all the subconscious thoughts of every scientist who deserves great encouragement.

In this big data era, as long as there is enough data, machines can actually understand people better than humans, especially when the machine itself has a certain human thinking pattern. It can analyze the ideas in the human subconscious from all aspects of human Internet behavior. As long as the data samples are sufficient, its expression preferences, reading preferences, consumption preferences, etc. can be analyzed clearly.

Next, we will further analyze the views that human subconsciously adhere to from these simple preferences in life. The next thing is even simpler. When we build archives for these scientists who go to China in March, the big money owner will spend some small money and pay a certain monthly salary, and invite some external images and conversations that meet the expectations of these scientists.

When these scientists work during the day, their job is to read the information of these scientists summarized and updated in real time by March, find topics that these people are concerned about and need to communicate and express the most recently, and then memorize them, and deduce them through the environment simulated by March using three-dimensional display technology.

When these scientists finish their work, they meet in their spare time and start to dedicate their preferences, and they will have a confidant.

It is no exaggeration to say that after three months of exercise, these alternative actors can even flatter themselves without any breath of fireworks. At least these scientists in the game cannot notice it at all.

What Edwin George didn't know is that for scientists who were focused on March, there were more than one such "life confidant" prepared, often as many as three or four. For Ning Wei, he paid only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per person per month, but for these scientists, he received spiritual supreme satisfaction...

In a sense, this is actually the "Trumen's World" directed by March. The expenses are Ning for individuals. He just took 2 billion yuan to set up a special fund to carry out this spiritual SPA project in March. These scientists can feel that even in principle, they can meet old knowledge that can be more considerate than their parents.

For Ning Wei, the money is irrelevant, but the effect is obviously so good that it is explosive.

Many scientists who have come to China seem to have the tendency to be unable to do without this spiritual spa. They basically spend some time every week inviting these friends to meet, have a chat, or just have a drink...

So the one who understands these scientists best is never human, but March.

This also shows from one aspect that having money can really do whatever you want. Of course, for Edwin George, these are just concerns and cannot change anything. Because he has bought his second-hand yacht.

Idyllic, a yacht produced by Benidi, Italy in 2008. The entire yacht is 58.5 long, the widest place is 9.5 meters, the maximum speed is 34 knots, and the cruising speed is 17 knots. It has already touched the edge of the superyacht. What satisfied Edwin George the most was that the appearance and interior decoration of this yacht were designed by a world-renowned designer, which was very consistent with his aesthetic.

Of course, because of these elements he likes, the price is not cheap, and the price is $24.3 million. After all, it has a history of 20 years. According to professional evaluation, the daily maintenance of this yacht is still very good. As long as the subsequent maintenance is obtained, it is not a big problem to use it for another 30 years. However, if you want to have the best experience, you still have to spend some money to renovate the interior, and he has to pay about $2 million for this.

If we add the fixed annual maintenance costs in the future, no matter how worried Edwin George is, he will not be able to stop. Fortunately, the impact on CERN is not great now, at least the committee has not paid attention to these things.

But this is not the case for many universities that cooperate with CERN, especially some well-known universities, because of the siphon effect.

For example, MIT.

In just three months, the school director discovered that four professors from the School of Mathematics and Physics had submitted resignations.

This is not a very common thing.

In fact, the positions of professors in colleges and universities are generally relatively stable.

Especially at top Ivy League schools like Harvard, Berkeley, and MIT. Like any other profession, talents can of course be mobilized. But they should not be mobilized too frequently in a short period of time.

When another math professor hoped to take a long vacation, Michael Kuruthmen, director of the Mathematics Department of MIT, realized something was wrong.

"Kerry, can you tell me why? Spring break is coming soon. If you have a need for a vacation, you can wait until the spring break next month. I can give you a few more days. Of course, I am not interfering in your private life, but you don't look like you are feeling unwell."

"Oh, Michael, I'm not going on vacation. Actually, it's a friend of mine. He's working on something that he's encountered some bottlenecks. I hope I can help him with some mathematical analysis work. If everything goes well, I'll probably come back before spring break." The professor spread his hands and replied.

"A friend? Can you ask who friend you are?"

"Ahem...Michael..."

"Kerry, is it really so hard to speak? Or do you have any other concerns?"

The math professor hesitated for a moment and finally answered, "Okay, actually my friend is Benjamin."

"Benjamin Carter? Huh... Kerry, he is indeed a good person. I heard that he went to China after resigning from school?"

"Yes, Michael, well, what do you think, we have a good relationship and he hopes I will help him."

"Why can't this problem be solved remotely?"

"Ah...you know, Michael, some of the data involves confidentiality agreements. Well, I just need a month off, so can't I take a leave?"

"It's not like this, but there have been some very bad precedents. Someone directly submitted his resignation after asking for leave. This has a big problem with school management. We all have to be responsible for students, right?"

"Yes, but I won't be like that! Michael!"

"Let's wait, Kerry, really, it's only more than a month since spring break, why are you so anxious? Or are you not satisfied with this place? If you have any other ideas, we can talk about it."

“…”

...

Soon, this incident was reflected in the school board office.

After all, MIT is a private university. As we all know, private universities still have high requirements for professors, which is related to the school's reputation and tuition fees. At this point, capitalists still retain the most basic moral sentiments.

Although the tuition fee is very high, it is guaranteed that you get what you pay for. Although students studying here have to bear heavy student loans after graduation, they can at least enjoy the world's top faculty resources and a relatively superior teaching environment.

Now that so many professors in the school have resigned in a short period of time, they are also focusing on two important majors: mathematics and physics, which is not good news.

After all, excellent mathematics and physics professors are not that easy to find. They can tolerate normal personnel flow, but they will definitely not tolerate a large amount of talent loss in a short period of time.

When these school directors began to notice this and began to learn about the relevant situation, they immediately discovered that it was not just MIT that had similar situations. Stanford, Columbia University, Dartmouth College, Brown University, etc., similar situations occurred...

In short, more than a dozen professors have chosen to resign within the past three months and left their teaching positions.
