I Have a Research Support System

On the morning of July 31st.

Wu Feifei received a message from Wei Xingsi: Today at twelve o'clock at noon, Lanhe invited us to dinner at the Qingya Pavilion in Hangzhou, you guys come over on time.

Therefore, after eating the buffet breakfast, everyone in the research team checked out of the room directly, returned to Hangzhou by the same route, and went to the agreed place.

After all, the hotel fees on Mogan Mountain are not cheap, about 500 yuan a night, and more than 4,000 yuan for three days and two nights for eight people.

In the Qingya small pavilion, in a large private room, everyone in the research team sat down.

At the table were Wei Xingsi and a stranger, who should be Lan He.

Lan He looks to be about 30 years old, with a height of 165+, and a weight of about the same level. The unit is catty, and he is dressed in loose casual clothes.

Wei Xingsi introduced: This is what I told you before, Xu Qiu, the main person in charge of the organic photovoltaic field in the group; this is Chen Wanqing, who is in the third year of Ph. Come to our group; Wu Shengnan, a postdoctoral fellow who just received; Mo Wenlin, a Ph.D. from Kainan University who came to exchange. They are all doing organic photovoltaics. Our organic photovoltaic team is quite large, and the scientific research achievements in the past two years have also been achieved. Quite a few...

Lan He smiled and said, Understood, who are the others?

Wei Xingsi continued to introduce: This is Wu Feifei, who mainly works on perovskite and is also the big housekeeper in our group; Duan Yun, who mainly works on thermoelectric field; Tian Qing, who mainly works on charge transport dynamics.

Lan He looked around at everyone in the research group, and joked, Mr. Wei, there are more girls in your team.

Indeed, Wei Xingsi explained with a smile: There was originally a master's student this year, but he hasn't joined the group yet. He's a boy who mainly works on perovskites...

Lan He nodded, and then said: Since everyone is here, waiter, get ready to serve. By the way, Teacher Wei, what should we drink?

Wei Xingsi: Anything is fine.

Lan He looked at the menu, and ordered to the waiter, Have a bottle of 1573. I have to catch the high-speed train back to Shanghai today. It's not suitable to drink too much. Well, there are more girls. Let's have another bottle of special forces coconut juice.

The service here is good. Two waiters are in charge of a private room to ensure that you can see people at any time.

Serving food is not slow. The dishes are all Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisines. The plates are large, but the portions are relatively small.

The shape of the plate is quite unique, and the taste is not bad.

Of course, Xu Qiu felt that a large part of the reason was the hotel buffet for several days in a row.

Every time a dish is served, Lan He will take a picture with his phone.

Because Lan He looked like someone of the same age, about the same age as Wu Shengnan, so everyone was not so restrained, and they turned the turntable to grab food.

Chinese people like to talk about things at the dinner table.

Today was no exception, halfway through the dinner, Wei Xingsi started talking about business.

He patted Lan He on the shoulder and said, Lan He, he just returned to China and opened a start-up company in Shanghai called 'Blue River Technology Co., Ltd'. It mainly involves the field of flexible electronic printing, including organic solar energy. Batteries, organic field effect transistors, sensors, integrated circuits, etc. Now start-ups, there is a lack of talents, so I want to cooperate with our team, because our organic photovoltaic is better, and the mode is to send people from our side. Doing technical guidance, of course, is paid.

Lan He added: There is no need to delay too much time. It may take a little longer in the initial stage. After that, we can make remote contact through WeChat. It is enough to come once or twice a month.

Wei Xingsi continued: Xu Qiu, Han Jiaying, what do you two think?

Okay. The two nodded in agreement.

In fact, Xu Qiu received a call from Teacher Wei this morning. They chatted for nearly half an hour, and basically settled the matter, and the dinner table was a formality.

Wei Xingsi has already taken a temporary position at Blue River Technology Co., Ltd., and it's a virtual job as a technical consultant. He doesn't need to do any work, and he just needs to get paid every month.

If a technology company like Blue River doesn't have a professor to hold a post, many places will be at a loss. For example, when applying for cooperation with the government, many times they require the team to have a person in charge with a senior professional title, or a person in charge who has experience in hosting XX projects.

The reason why Mr. Wei chose Xu Qiu and Han Jiaying is also very simple. Firstly, they are not bad in ability. Secondly, one has just graduated from graduate school, and the other has just entered the Ph. cooperate.

If you choose Chen Wanqing, she will graduate in a year, choose Wu Shengnan, and leave the station in a year, choose Mo Wenlin, and run away in a year, it is not suitable.

Naturally, Xu Qiu had no reason to refuse this kind of thing.

On the one hand, he is now basically able to handle the scientific research in the research group, and has become a small boss. He often proposes ideas and asks others to help realize them. He is mainly responsible for tackling difficulties and grasping the general direction.

Going to help Blue River can just find new things to do for yourself, and the direction of flexible printing is very important. If you want to apply organic photovoltaics in the future, this point cannot be avoided, because this is the core competitiveness of organic photovoltaics.

In terms of efficiency, organic photovoltaics may never be able to compete with silicon-based, perovskite, and other III-V non-metallic, CIGS photovoltaic devices, but it has a unique advantage, that is, it can prepare flexible devices, such as It can be turned into clothes and worn on the body, the solar cell can be rolled up when there is no sunlight, and unfolded when there is sunlight, etc.

On the other hand, Lan He's family can casually put out 10 million yuan to start a company for his son to test the waters. The family business must be hundreds of millions. After all, although many companies claim to have a market value of more than 100 million yuan, you let them use 10 million yuan in working capital. , most of them may not be taken out.

If you cooperate with such a person, you will be more secure in all aspects, and you may be able to carry out more in-depth cooperation in the future, such as jointly promoting the commercialization of organic photovoltaics.

After all, although Xu Qiu is good at scientific research, he basically doesn't know anything about business. After all, Lan He has received special MBA training from abroad, so he is more knowledgeable about business operations.

Seeing that Xu Qiu and the others agreed, Lan He added him and Han Jiaying as WeChat friends on the spot.

Lan He’s WeChat name is “River_Blue”. The profile picture is a selfie of him wearing a lab coat, wearing a mask, and holding a mobile phone. In the photo, Lan He is much thinner than the real person. I don’t know if it’s because of PS. Yes, I only gained weight in recent years.

After adding friends, Lan He said: Other members of Mr. Wei's research group are welcome to come to our company after graduation. We are currently short of people here. I still trust Mr. Wei's students, and I can give them directly. Your green channel only needs one round of interviews, and the salary must be higher than the market, and it is better to enter the job early, with options, and when the company goes public in the future...

You're digging corners in front of me. Wei Xingsi said with a smile.

Isn't this a thirst for talent? Now we have been preparing for half a year, and we have recruited a doctor and two masters. We are setting up a laboratory. Lan He explained, and then Teacher Wei clinked a glass and sipped. Taking a sip of wine, he did not forget to add: If you are interested, you can ask Xu Qiu for my WeChat, and add WeChat to chat privately.

After hearing the news, Chen Wanqing and Duan Yun were thoughtful at the dinner table. They graduated from Ph.D. and faced the problem of finding a job.

For their 985 PhDs, although they can also cast a net to catch fish by submitting resumes, school recruitment, seminars, etc., if you want to find a good job, your network is very important, and internal referrals are the mainstream.

Just like now, if you get to know the boss directly, you will start at a higher starting point than others. If you have outstanding ability, there is a lot of room for advancement, especially Chen Wanqing is still a professional counterpart. In the past, she occupied a good position, such as a supervisor, with an annual salary of 300,000.

Of course, start-up companies are also very risky. If the company goes public, the veterans with options will naturally smile, and they will have a chance if they are worth tens of millions.

But if it goes bankrupt, it will be an MMP. It will be difficult to find a suitable next home for a while. If you still have a 30-year mortgage and a monthly payment of 10,000 to 20,000, it will be even more difficult.

After all, judging from the statistics of enterprises, the average life expectancy of flower growers is only 3.9 years, and this is the average value. The more small and medium-sized enterprises, the shorter the average life expectancy. Most small and medium-sized enterprises can only operate for about two or three years.

After the meal, Lan He paid the bill, and everyone parted ways.

Han Jiaying directly took the high-speed train back to Sioux City, while Xu Qiu returned to Shanghai, the two were not on the same train.

On the high-speed rail, Xu Qiu was bored scrolling through Moments, and saw the latest news posted by Lan He:

Hangcheng, Qingya Xiaoge, with friends, followed by pictures of nine dishes.

Curiously, Xu Qiu clicked into Lan He's circle of friends to have a look.

Hey, the frequency of the other party's news is not low.

Basically, there are several articles every day. In addition to some things in life, it also involves the developments and comments of various industries, such as:

The worst idea for user experience in recent years: paper straws. No designer is willing to try other designs.

Is the future of triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) promising?

Artificial intelligence, there is as much intelligence as there is artificial intelligence.

Throughout the ages, what are the disruptive innovative products that have been made through market research? You actually see almost zero. If market research is useful, big companies would have won forever.

I want to talk to someone about privacy computing recently, do you have any recommendations from Moments?

Xu Qiu nodded, it seems that Lan He is a person who prefers to read and think.

Perhaps, this is the life of most rich second generations?

Because there is no need to consider material things, so you invest more in spiritual aspects?

PS: 3W9 is owed, 3W7 has been repaid, and there is still a difference of 2K.
