The rejuvenation of a great nation: from educated youth to national treasure scientist

Chapter 169: The Battle for Talent [Full Order]

When Xiao Lijuan thought about not having to study for a master's degree with her father, she suddenly felt relaxed.

Wang Haoran smiled and kissed her, saying, "No problem at all."

"Wait for me to apply to the school to be a master's supervisor."

"Before you start your doctorate, I will apply to be your doctoral supervisor, haha!"

Xiao Lijuan said: "I heard that after applying to be a graduate student supervisor, you have to recruit students every year."

"You are so busy, can you take care of it?"

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Leading graduate students is actually a very simple thing."

"After recruiting them, I can give them research directions, some guidance, and ask them to help me with the project, right?"

"I won't give them a proper lesson."

"Lijuan, then you just have to be obedient and don't go to school anymore."

Xiao Lijuan nodded in agreement.

Wang Haoran called Li Baoping, the head of the Department of Radio and Electronics at Peking University, to ask for leave for Xiao Lijuan.

Li Baoping smiled and said, "I told Comrade Lijuan a few days ago that your situation is special. The weather has been bad recently and the roads are so slippery. You can just take a leave and stay home."

"With you here, there's no way she'll fall behind in her studies!"

"I approve this leave."

Xiao Lijuan told her mother about her plans after graduating from college.

Lin Yaling said: "Alas! I have always said that for a girl, why should she work so hard and get a doctorate? It is totally unnecessary."

"Graduating from Peking University is already pretty impressive."

"However, I also understand your concerns, Juanjuan. Your man is so outstanding, you don't want to fall behind."

"Although you seem to be indifferent to the world, you are actually very strong-willed inside."

"It will definitely be better for you to study for your master's degree with Haoran than with your father. Your father is sometimes too old-fashioned."

"Haoran will definitely take good care of you. If you just take advantage of some of the results, you can achieve something in scientific research. This is your blessing."

"Kid, don't be too ambitious. You still have to remember to distinguish between the primary and the secondary, and be a good backer for Haoran so that he can have a stable rear."

Xiao Lijuan nodded and said, "I understand, Mom. Actually, I have already taken advantage of Haoran too much."

"I'm only a junior, but I've already published three important papers in the country's top radio journals, and I've also won a national major research project award."

"The key point now is that Peking University wants me to stay on campus. Director Li has talked to me several times."

"The principal also talked to me."

Lin Yaling smiled and said, "Their purpose is to establish a closer cooperative relationship with Haoran through your relationship, haha!"

"However, if you say you plan to study for a master's degree with Haoran, then just wait and see. Your school will definitely agree to it happily."

"Maybe they want to sign a contract with you to teach at the school in advance, so as to lock you in."

Xiao Lijuan said: "I still want to follow Haoran after graduation. I will do whatever he does, and we will be together forever."

Lin Yaling nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's right!"

"No matter what we do, it is a beautiful thing if the husband and wife can sing and follow each other in harmony."

"Juanjuan, you have always done well in the past. I believe you will do better and better in the future."

The next day, Wang Haoran went to see Liu Xianchao, the president of Beijing Institute of Technology.

He expressed his desire to become a graduate student supervisor.

Liu Xianchao was overjoyed when he heard this.

In fact, Liu Xianchao had mentioned this matter to Wang Haoran before.

But at that time, Wang Haoran didn't think about it.

Now that Wang Haoran took the initiative to propose it, Liu Xianchao was naturally very happy.

You know, Wang Haoran is now a signature figure of Beijing Institute of Technology.

Beijing Institute of Technology has developed so well in the past three years and is showing signs of catching up with Peking University and Tsinghua University, mainly thanks to Wang Haoran.

Nowadays, Wang Haoran’s main business is Pangu Company.

But he still holds a teaching position at Beijing Institute of Technology, and he goes back from time to time to hold a symposium.

The cooperation between Beijing Institute of Technology and Wang Haoran is also the closest.

"Comrade Haoran, thank you for your support!"

"I'll give you both the master's and doctoral supervisor titles at the same time."

"Yeah! If we spread the word that you're going to supervise graduate students, I think it will cause a sensation across the country."

"Maybe. Even many young associate professors want to be your students."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, “Then let’s promote it.”

"I, Wang Haoran, welcome the best talents in Dragon Country to apply for my postgraduate studies."

"Principal, I have to tell you something in advance."

Wang Haoran told his wife that he wanted her to study with him.

Liu Xianchao smiled and said, "Your wife is a famous talented woman!"

"Peking University's Radio and Electronics Department ranks first in its major every year. In my third year, I have already published three top-notch papers and won a national key project award."

“I think this will be a good story.”

"Comrade Haoran, how many students do you plan to recruit every year?"

Wang Haoran thought for a moment and said, "We will recruit the best candidates. Let's recruit five masters and five doctors each year."

"If you want to be my student, you must pass my personal interview."

Recruiting 5 people a year is already quite a lot.

After all, if you recruit 10 people every year, by the third year you will have 3 students.

The reason why Wang Haoran did this was to attract the best talents to his side.

Today, Yusa has stepped up its efforts to plunder the Dragon Kingdom's talent.

Since 1980, we even started joint graduate student entrance examinations with Longguo.

Their goal is very clear, which is to snatch away the best talents from Longguo.

The country of Judea developed by plundering the wealth and talents of other countries.

In 1980, it began to turn its attention to the University of Tokyo in its attempt to plunder talent.

From that time on, many of Longguo's top talents went to Yusa.

Take the chip industry as an example. In fact, more than half of those working in the chip industry in Jusa are of Longguo descent.

Wang Haoran then discussed some more details with Liu Xianchao.

On that day, after Liu Xianchao talked with Wang Haoran, he convened a meeting of the Beijing Institute of Technology’s school committee.

The meeting successfully passed the resolution to hire Wang Haoran as a dual supervisor for master's and doctoral degrees at Beijing Institute of Technology.

After the meeting, Liu Xianchao asked the office staff to prepare Wang Haoran’s employment letter.

He then contacted CCTV reporter Wang Jianguo.

He told Wang Jianguo that Beijing Institute of Technology had hired Wang Haoran as a master's and doctoral supervisor.

Wang Haoran is only 23 years old.

He has become the youngest associate professor.

Now he has become the youngest supervisor of masters and doctoral students.

This is indeed explosive news.

Wang Jianguo was overjoyed when he heard this.

Because this is definitely explosive news!
Wang Jianguo said to Liu Xianchao, "President Liu, can we interview Comrade Haoran in person?"

Liu Xianchao smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem with that."

"Comrade Haoran said that he would like to announce through the media that he welcomes outstanding talents to apply to be his students."

"We will go to present Comrade Haoran with his appointment letter later. Comrade Jianguo can come with me."

Wang Jianguo followed Liu Xianchao and his team to Pangu Company.

At Pangu Company, Liu Xianchao awarded Wang Haoran the appointment letter as master's and doctoral supervisor.

Afterwards, Wang Jianguo interviewed Wang Haoran.

Wang Haoran also took the opportunity to express his own views.

He said: "The brightest talents in the motherland should stay and build their own country!"

"The greatest value of a person lies in how much he contributes to his country and nation, not in running away to contribute to the development of other countries for a better life."

"We are now reforming our salary system. In the future, distribution according to work and more work, more pay will become our national policy. If you make more contributions, you can get more rewards, and the state will also give you better welfare benefits."

"Moreover, we will also open up channels for individuals to start their own businesses and encourage some people to get rich first through starting their own businesses."

"Finally, I hope that all comrades can have a sense of patriotism and put national interests first."

These words are meant for those who are preparing to develop abroad.

Wang Haoran also told reporters: "Our country does have a considerable gap with the West in some areas of science and technology, but we are catching up quickly!"

"Here, I can proudly say that we are catching up very quickly and have already gained a gratifying lead in some important technological fields!"

Regarding which professional fields Wang Haoran plans to accept as students, Wang Haoran said that when he recruits students, he does not look at their professional fields, but only looks at whether they have top intelligence and great development potential.

Wang Haoran said: "I will train students to become experts in a certain field according to their talents."

This is Wang Haoran’s confidence.

Many master's and doctoral supervisors are only experts in a certain field.

But Wang Haoran obviously cannot be restricted to a certain field. …

Qiu Yuling is a Jewish Chinese.

She returned to China in early 1980.

She came back as a visiting professor at the Department of Electronics at Peking University.

Before returning to China, Qiu Yuling was a tenured professor in the Department of Electronics at Harvard.

She is also considered a top talent.

For this reason, Peking University was quite excited about her arrival and gave her very high treatment.

For example, the monthly salary of an ordinary teacher at Peking University is only about 3000 yuan, but Qiu Yuling's salary is actually RMB.

Qiu Yuling also got a two-bedroom apartment.

She often gives lectures at Peking University.

The content of her speeches was often about how developed, civilized, and powerful Judea was.

She described Jusa as almost heavenly.

She encouraged Peking University students who were capable to go to Jusa to study abroad and see the world.

She would personally meet and talk with the best people in Peking University to get to know their situation.

If the other party is really outstanding, she will discuss with the school and have Yosa provide a full scholarship to send the child abroad.

Qiu Yuling had actually met Xiao Lijuan.

She also said similar things to Xiao Lijuan.

However, she failed to convince Xiao Lijuan.

That day, she went to talk to Li Baoping, the director of the Department of Radio and Electronics at Peking University.

Intentionally or unintentionally, he started talking about Xiao Lijuan again.

Li Baoping told Qiu Yuling that Xiao Lijuan had taken a long vacation and planned to give birth to the baby at home.

Qiu Yuling said with great regret: "Such a top-notch and smart girl, I didn't expect that she would become a breeding machine."

"Hasn't she already had a child?"

Li Baoping smiled and said, "You can't say that, right?"

“Having a child is, after all, a major life event.”

"Moreover, even though she was raising a child, she still ranked first in her major and received a first-class national scholarship every year."

"Moreover, she has already achieved very impressive academic results."

Qiu Yuling said: "After all, it's because she has a powerful man."

Li Baoping smiled and said, "This is one of the reasons. She herself is also a top talent."

Qiu Yuling sighed and said, "Such an outstanding talent should go abroad to study and exchange ideas, so that he can make greater contributions to the country after returning."

Li Baoping said: "It doesn't necessarily mean that you will be better than those who studied in the country, right?"

"For example, our electronic technology and radio technology are now no worse than those of Jusa."

Qiu Yuling smiled and said: "If we want to make progress in academic research, we must communicate more and not be complacent or work in isolation."

"Director Li, Xiao Lijuan is not feeling well. Should we go visit her?"

Li Baoping nodded with a smile: "That's what I should do. I plan to go to her house to see her tomorrow."

Qiu Yuling said enthusiastically: "Let's go there today."

"I just happened to have something new and I wanted to give it to her."

Li Baoping said, "That's fine. Professor Qiu is really a warm-hearted person."

"I really appreciate this about you."

So Li Baoping and Qiu Yuling went to visit Xiao Lijuan together.

They went there in a Cadillac.

This car is known as the big boss's car and is now quite famous around the world.

Of course, the current situation of Jusa Automobile is not very good.

Jusa's cars were once sold all over the world and it was one of the most important automobile producers.

However, after the 1960s, they were defeated by Foot Basin and Hans and were completely lost.

In order to revive their own automobile industry, Jusak used a lot of shady tricks.

But their automobile industry has not been able to make much progress.

This Cadillac was brought by Qiu Yuling.

Thanks to Li Baoping's company, the car successfully entered the yard where Wang Haoran lived.

When Qiu Yuling's car entered the door, it was actually subjected to strict inspection.

This is something unprecedented.

Qiu Yuling thought, it seems that Longguo really regards Wang Haoran as a national treasure!

It’s surprising that a university staff housing complex has such high-standard security measures.

She was a little worried: Could she really persuade Xiao Lijuan?

I've tried it before, but it didn't work.

But no matter what, she has to try.

Because this is her mission.

The car was parked downstairs of Wang Haoran's house and Qiu Yuling got out. She saw several suspicious people around her who were watching her closely.

This made Qiu Yuling feel a little creepy.

"Professor Qiu, let's go upstairs." Li Baoping said to Qiu Yuling with a smile.

"Oh, will those people who are staring at us be in danger?" Qiu Yuling's voice trembled a little when she spoke.

Li Baoping smiled and said, "How could it be dangerous?"

"Those are just our security guards, don't overthink it. Let's go upstairs."

The two went upstairs.

Before coming here, Li Baoping had already called Xiao Lijuan.

The call was received by Lin Yaling.

So, when Li Baoping and Xiao Lijuan came to the door, it was already open.

"Director Li, welcome!" Lin Yaling and Xiao Lijuan stood at the door to greet him.

When Xiao Lijuan saw Qiu Yuling, she muttered to herself: Why is this woman here too?
But Xiao Lijuan still greeted Qiu Yuling.

Li Baoping said with a smile: "Comrade Lijuan, it's cold outside, hurry inside. You must keep warm in your current condition and don't catch a cold."

Xiao Lijuan thanked them for their concern and let the two people into the house.

The living room in the house is very small and there is no room for a sofa.

When guests came, they could only be entertained in the living room.

The room here is not big, and there is a folding bed that can be unfolded for rest at night.

It is put away during the day.

This way there is room for two sofas.

Qiu Yuling sighed and said, "I can't believe that the home of Dragon Country's most famous scientist, Young Junyan, is so cramped. This place is a bit too small."

"The country should pay more attention to talents and improve their treatment."

This is which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted.

Li Baoping frowned, not knowing what to say.

Xiao Lijuan smiled faintly and said, "We are so young, it's already great to be able to get such a big house."

"My father is a member of the faculty. Doesn't he live in the same house as us?"

"Our country is still relatively poor and in difficult circumstances, but even so, the country is doing its best to take better care of us. I feel very satisfied."

Qiu Yuling said in amazement: "Student Lijuan's attitude is really good."

"Do you know? In Jusa, a top scientist can earn up to one million dollars a year! In our Dragon Country, the top scientists only earn five or six thousand dollars a year. The gap is too big."

"Even an ordinary blue-collar worker in Jusa can now earn more than $10,000 a year!"

“They own villas, cars and travel regularly.”

“The gap is really too big.”

Li Baoping has heard such words many times.

He also knew that this was an indisputable fact.

So, he didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

He believes that Qiu Yuling is simply standing up for scientific talents.

Xiao Lijuan frowned and said softly, "I believe that our own country will also be able to develop quickly, and the income of the people across the country will rise."

"Also, what I want to say is that the reason why Jusa treats the workers well now is actually to win their hearts!"

“Without competitors like Big Bear, the income and living standards of ordinary people will plummet!”

Qiu Yuling was stunned for a moment.

She naturally felt Xiao Lijuan's dissatisfaction.

"What you said is impossible! You have to believe that everyone is equal in Jusa and the people are treated well." Qiu Yuling smiled and said, "Student Lijuan, I suggest that you go to Jusa to study after you graduate from college. You will love it."
