When will I have a long tassel?

Students can give up their major in mechanics, but professors like Ferguson, who major in mechanics, cannot change careers.

Since there are fewer students choosing the mechanical major, the University of Dresden has to lower its admissions threshold and recruit some unqualified students to fill the gap. After all, it has to support one major, right?

But not everyone can learn mechanics. The students that Ferguson and the others used to teach were all good and bad, but now they are gone and replaced by a few bald chickens. They are all the kind of scumbags who failed math four. How can they teach them?

When teachers teach, they don’t just stand on the podium and repeat what they are told, but they need to interact with students. In the past, Ferguson wrote a formula on the blackboard. Before he finished writing, the students below could already calculate the result. This kind of lecture felt very satisfying. But now, Ferguson has been deducing on the blackboard for a long time, and the students below are still confused. They don't know why this old man is so crazy on the podium. Do you think Ferguson can not be depressed?

By chance, Ferguson heard from his colleagues in China that the mechanical major in Chinese universities has developed rapidly in recent years and there are not enough teachers. Teachers are being recruited from all over the world.

Ferguson is well aware of the level of Chinese students. There are some Chinese students at the University of Dresden, and their academic skills and hard work have left a good impression on Ferguson.

Therefore, Ferguson began to tentatively ask his Chinese colleagues if he could come to China to teach. Considering that China is a developing country and a poor country in the eyes of Europeans, Ferguson only requested an annual salary of US$50,000. This standard is much lower than the salary he received in Germany, but Ferguson feels it is still acceptable.

If he had stayed in Germany, if one day the college could no longer recruit students, he might be fired, and he would not even be able to get an annual salary of 50,000 yuan. He is starting to change jobs now, which can be considered a precautionary measure.

Even Fan Wenping and Sun Fanzhuo don't know some of these details, but they are certain of one thing, that is, Lao Fu's requirement is an annual salary of US$50,000.

For Tang Zifeng, the annual salary of US$50,000 can be added with the word "just", but Fan Wenping would not dare to say that. US$50,000 converted into RMB is more than 400,000, which is equivalent to the income of five or six Chinese teachers in the school. It is a huge pressure for the school.

Fan Wenping and others want to introduce foreign professors of Ferguson's level. The main purpose is not to let them come to classes, but to let them do scientific research. The scientific research level of these people is secondary. The most important thing is that they are familiar with foreign scientific research routines. Well, in fact, they are familiar with the routines of publishing articles in foreign journals. With these people joining the team, the scientific research projects done by teachers at Dongye University can be packaged and published abroad.

The value of the same result published in a domestic journal can be several times different from that published in a foreign journal. In this era, there are only about 50,000 SCI papers published in China every year, and they are mainly concentrated in key universities and national scientific research institutes. For universities like Toye University, there are less than 50 papers a year.

It is easy for professors like Ferguson to publish a few SCI articles every day. They often care about reputation, so they disdain some lower-ranked SCI journals. Dongye University doesn't care about this ranking. As long as it's SCI, even the worst one, it will be shining brightly in China. If you have the ability to publish 180 articles a year, the principal will definitely give you honors and awards. meeting.

On the one hand, I am eager to be able to publish papers, but on the other hand, I am short of money and unable to introduce them. So when he heard Tang Zifeng say that he didn't care about money, Fan Wenping came up with the idea and wanted to persuade Tang Zifeng to go to Europe to recruit people. One professor costs more than 400,000 yuan, and 10 professors cost more than 4 million yuan. Isn’t this much better than sending 10 students to study abroad?

These professors are here. It doesn’t take much. As long as each of them publishes five of the worst SCI papers every year, they can double the number of SCIs in Toyo University. What a beautiful thing.

Fan Wenping wanted to improve the school's ranking by introducing foreign professors. Tang Zifeng did not have this wish, but he was equally willing to introduce foreign professors. Xiao Wenjun has heard of Ferguson's name, which shows that the old man is indeed quite capable. He has taught at Dresden University for many years and must have rich teaching experience. If he is allowed to teach students from independent colleges, he should be able to teach better than those from the Mechanical Department of Dongye University.

If we could poach dozens of them at once, it would be equivalent to moving a university from abroad, and it would also be a famous foreign university. Isn't this exactly what Tang Zifeng wants?

"Director Sun, how many professors have you come into contact with?" Tang Zifeng asked.

"Five, all have the intention to come to China." Sun Fanzhuo replied.

"Only five?" Tang Zifeng muttered.

Fan Wenping quickly said: "Mr. Tang, these five are just the ones that Director Sun and the others have come into contact with in the early stage. Because our school has limited funds, we dare not cast a wide net. If Mr. Tang thinks we can hire more foreign professors, we will go back After that, teachers with study abroad background can be arranged to contact them immediately, and ten or twenty should not be a problem."

"If that's the case, then you should contact me as soon as possible." Tang Zifeng said.

"How many contacts? Can Mr. Tang give you an indicator?" Sun Fanzhuo asked confusedly.

Tang Zifeng stretched out his hand and said, "Let's start at 50. Don't we have to pick a few by then? We can't bring in all the crooked ones, right?"

Fan Wenping and Sun Fanzhuo both had expressions of ecstasy on their faces. They also knew that they needed to remain reserved in this situation, but the good news was so big that they couldn't control it.

"If that's the case, then that..." Sun Fanzhuo stammered, not knowing what to do.

Fan Wenping was much more stable than him, and he could still speak clearly at this time, even though his face was smiling like a chrysanthemum when he spoke.

"If we can really introduce 50, no, only 20 famous foreign professors, it won't be a problem for our independent college to have a recruitment score 20 points higher than our own." Fan Wenping said, "We have to write this down. The admission brochure clearly states that it is purely foreign teachers, purely foreign language teaching, and the curriculum is the same as that of famous German schools. Smart parents will know how to choose.”

"This Canglong Academy should be located in Linhe, right?"

Shao Junjie, the deputy mayor of Linhe City who had been silent until now, finally spoke. The previous matter had nothing to do with him. He was just happy to watch the excitement. Now when it comes to introducing dozens of foreign teachers, Shao Junjie has to confirm it. This is also one of Linhe City's political achievements.

"Yes, Dongye University's Canglong College is located in Linhe, in our Linyiji factory." Zhang Jianyang replied.

"If this is the case, then our municipal government can also bear part of the cost of bringing in experts." Shao Junjie said, "According to the standard of 50,000 yuan per expert, it is not much money, and it is mainly just for one idea."

"Hey, is there such a good thing?" Tang Zifeng's eyes lit up. The subsidy per person is 50,000 yuan, which is only 1/8 compared to 50,000 US dollars. But mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are. If you can save 50,000 yuan, why not use it?

Tang Zifeng also knew Shao Junjie's thoughts. With money provided by the city, these foreign teachers are considered people brought in by the city, and they can be included in various reporting materials in the future. If a total of 20 professors are introduced, Linhe City will need to spend 1 million, which is completely within the financial acceptable range.

"However, Mr. Tang, after the introduction of these professors, the teaching work can be placed on the Linhe side, but the scientific research must still be done on the Nanwu side, right? Our scientific research conditions are better there, and Director Sun and his Department of Mechanical Engineering have very good A strong scientific research team can form good cooperation with these foreign teachers." Fan Wenping reminded.

Tang Zifeng chuckled and said: "Principal Fan, I think it would be better to let Director Sun and his team from the Mechanical Department come to our Linhe to do scientific research. We have such a good internship base here as Linyi Machinery, and the Canglong Research Institute The scientific research conditions are also excellent.”

"The conditions in your laboratory are better than Director Sun's," Zhang Jianyang said. "I heard this from several professors at Dongda University. We have some experimental equipment that you don't have there, but we have it here."

"Well..." Sun Fanzhuo hesitated, not knowing how to answer.

Tang Zifeng saw his thoughts and said with a smile: "Director Sun, don't worry, these foreign professors are here, including your team from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and the results and patents are owned by both of us. The signature of the article You have priority, and our people can follow behind as the second or third authors."

"If that's the case, then it's no problem." Sun Fanzhuo agreed very quickly. What he was worried about just now was the issue of the signature of the paper. The evaluation of scientific research units is based on the first author's signature unit. If Linji Group acts rogue and drags teachers from Dongda University to engage in scientific research and steals the signature rights in the future, he But it's like being taken advantage of.

As for patents, of course they are important, but they are paying for it and promising to provide experimental conditions, so you don’t share any of the benefits with them. Does that make sense?

The ultimate result of this consultation is that everyone wins.

Fan Wenping promised to arrange for people to contact foreign professors immediately after returning to Nanwu, and strive to introduce 20 students in the first phase, and more will be added in the future depending on the situation.

Tang Zifeng asked Zhang Jianyang to follow up on this matter. His requirements were not high, that is, the admissions of Canglong College must be more selective than excessive. The admission score is currently 20 points higher than that of Dongye University. In the future, as the reputation of the college grows, the admission score will be further improved. , it is necessary to recruit a group of potential students.

Shao Junjie is a Buddhist, and has no other requirements except that he can subsidize 1 million yuan for the introduction of foreign professors. Sometimes the government is responsible for spending money. Spending money is the purpose in itself, and he does not have to worry about subsequent matters.
