Chapter 986 Cloud Interview
Chu Yuanxi, who was so difficult, quickly hung up the call with Elizabeth and asked Feng Lin: "What's going on with your professor? Do you want to have a video?"
"Of course you can chat with videos, but you are recruiting with others. Do you want to be face-saving? Didn't you reply to me?"
Chu Yuanxi talked about finding a business consultant for Xiaokang. When Feng Lin was in the presidential class, the professor was named Liang Kenian. Chu Yuanxi always wanted to make an appointment. In fact, before the Spring Festival, Feng Lin went to the center to get in touch with them, but he didn't expect that something was wrong and delayed, but the contact was not broken.
But Chu Yuanxi can't find any consultant casually, and he has to reveal a lot of corporate information or even secrets, so he must be careful. It is impossible to have someone come by chatting a few words on WeChat, which is not only a joke but also a respectful one.
So now I plan to adopt this method, which can be called "cloud interview". Of course, there are some questions about human nature here, especially when Chu Yuanxi asks Feng Lin to make very direct without any obscure requests. This is his communication method. When facing strangers, he shows off his carriage and horses. Don't think about it left and right and care about so many false things. This is efficient, just say it clearly.
But when they were silent, they might need to consider it. Chu Yuanxi felt that he could work harder, so he asked Feng Lin to urge him again. "By the way, please introduce him to me first? I'm also blamed me, I haven't asked carefully. How old is the professor?"
"About your age."
"What?" Chu Yuanxi was obviously stunned. The title of the National Dynasty was "Previous Deputy", so it was possible that he was a deputy when he was called a professor, but the associate professor in his 30s was actually not bad.
"Professor in his early 30s? Associate Professor?"
"Ah... I really don't know this very well. It seems to be an associate professor. I'll ask you. But is it appropriate to ask this when I come up? It seems that I look down on the associate professor?"
"It has been clearly stated that it is recruiting. Sooner or later, you have to make it clear. Is there anything you look down on? What do you think more about real materials, but if you are in this sequence, your rank means to a certain extent that your connections will definitely have an impact? Advisors are not just consultants and consultants. If you really only have a brain, it would be quite inefficient."
As a result, the other party replied soon, and Feng Lin showed his phone to Chu Yuanxi. What he told Feng Lin was: I am a special associate researcher who changed the postdoctoral fellow at the faculty.
The word "researcher" looks less high-end than a professor, but it is actually a rank, and the associate professor is an associate professor. But what does this postdoctoral fellowship change to a special associate professor mean? Chu Yuanxi and Feng Lin, who are not involved in science, stare at each other.
This is the benefit of the cloud interview. If it is in person, when people say it, they will not understand it, and they will inevitably smile with an embarrassing smile.
Fortunately, the other party agreed to the video, and it was not a casual video, but it was formal and there was no need to wear formal clothes, but it had to be formally allocated a certain amount of time and taken seriously.
As soon as the video was connected, Chu Yuanxi felt a little familiar, as if he had seen this person somewhere? Both sides briefly introduced themselves and then began to get to the point. Chu Yuanxi first talked about the situation and needs of a well-off society, and then started asking questions.
The advantage of not going around the corner is that when the appointment is said to be for recruitment, so since the other party agrees to communicate, it has the intention and idea to apply, so you can ask anything directly. However, if you talk directly when the appointment was made, then asking questions like test questions would be very rude.
Of course, Chu Yuanxi didn't ask what a postdoctoral fellow is to hire a special associate researcher. This can be found on Baidu in the future. Chu Yuanxi asked: "What do you think about whether you are infatuated with SoftBank Sun Dasheng and must save Wework? What is the reason that he must do this at any cost or at any cost?"
The reason for this question is that it is a world event, and everyone in the economic field knows it at least. It is impossible to say that it has never heard of it because it turns a blind eye to the outside world. In this way, whether the other party has the habit and ability to think can be quickly qualitative through such questions.
At this time, we must not ask questions about the well-off issue. It is not impossible to ask questions with famous domestic economic events. However, considering that we do not understand the depth of the other party, what if the other party is involved in it? It is not very suitable, so it is just right to make fun of Sun Dasheng.
I saw the other party think about it, then operate the mouse and keyboard, then look at the computer screen, and smile slightly, "This? You have to find the answer from Sun Dasheng's growth experience. If I remember correctly, Dasheng's old man pieced together 100 million yen in 1981, and then took out a large amount of money to use for office environments, and rented it to software companies for free.
Then he signed a unique generation with the world's largest Hudson software, which was the world's largest software, and quickly swept the island market. So, no one knows better than Sun Dasheng how to explore the deep value of shared office, and Adam Neumann can't do it either. Sun Dasheng's self-confidence may even think he has copied it to the end?"
Chu Yuanxixin said that there are many good things stored in your computer? But this is also OK. It is equivalent to an open-book exam. The candidates in the open-book exam do not need to memorize everything, but it is okay to know where it exists.
The other party's answer is very consistent with Chu Yuanxi's worldview. He always believed that Sun Dasheng had to allin the wework when he was surrounded by enemies. He would definitely have a hundred times confidence and be able to release the wework energy from a higher dimension. You should know that no matter how wework cuts in half, its size has been fully charged after all, and the architecture has been set up. It is a structure that embraces all rivers and is also the only one on the entire earth. Its value in Sun Dasheng's eyes is definitely different from that in the eyes of others.
Liang Kenian continued: "Now many people say that Sun Dasheng was trapped by Wework when he encountered difficulties, but it was not. His most fatal investment was to acquire the US telecom operator Sprint. It doesn't matter if he invested in Sprint, but he also tried to acquire T Mobile and became the number one telecom giant in the United States through capital operations, but failed."
"You're so right, I totally agree."
Chu Yuanxi suddenly felt that the people on the other side were insightful. In 2012, he wanted to buy the lifeline industry of the United States, which was actually a turning point in Sun Dasheng's decline from prosperity. Especially when he was confident in a plan to acquire T-mobile, he was suspended by the then commander Ao Guanhai and signed an administrative order with a grin. The reason was "anti-monopoly", now, it is legitimate.
However, this internal injury was not seen at that time, because SoftBank still held a large amount of Alibaba's stock. However, in order to fill the big pit of sprint, it had to reduce its holdings. Although its appearance was still strong, it was obviously constantly weakening its foundation, and it still couldn't get out of this quagmire.
At present, of course, the lean camel is still much bigger than the horse, especially the fundraising of the 100 billion fund vision makes Sun Dasheng seem to be on the top of the wave. But don’t forget that the Vision Fund is actually a sword of Damocles, because a considerable portion of the money in this fund is not raised by fundraising, but loans and interest payments are required.
Therefore, Sun Dasheng became Chu Yuanxi's interview question. This is also the reason why Chu Yuanxi refused without hesitation when SoftBank's Greater China head came to Xiaokang to negotiate investment. Xiaokang certainly needs money, but some people's money is difficult to get, and then it will be a bad scene where Alibaba smashes the market and the yellow group.
At this moment, someone suddenly appeared behind Liang Kenian from the screen and looked into the screen from the other end of the Internet.
Chu Yuanxi couldn't help but wiped his eyes, and Liang Kenian said, "Dad, I'm working remotely."
"Office? What business? I feel familiar with the sound. Let me see, isn't this Chu Yuanxi?"
"Oh, Lao Liang? It's you?" Chu Yuanxi looked at the old man with a confused look on the screen. This person was the owner of the original concept of "Come to Come Out of a Troubled Time". Lao Liang, who made an IP film in the original world and sold it.
He was born in a scientific research institute and still received subsidies from the computing institute, but he has basically returned to the field. He is much older than Chu Yuanxi, and he is about 60 years old this year. Chu Yuanxi knew him, and it can be traced back to when he first joined Pengfei Technology. He needed the resources of the computing institute to do an AI project, so he got online with Lao Liang. However, he soon went into business and started his own company.
Unexpectedly, Liang Kenian, an associate professor of economics, was the son of Lao Liang's math expert.
When Chu Yuanxi had just traveled around, he obtained verbal IP authorization from him when he was planning to start a business with self-media. Because no one in this world had breastfeed him, the IP film was not made, nor was it sold, or even registered intellectual property rights. As an IP that had verified content in the original world, Chu Yuanxi directly asked for it with a big face.
Then, after the thinking process of Uncle Sheng, the dynasty changed, moved from the Sui Dynasty to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and of course, all the old content was overturned. Therefore, the current "Come to the Mountains in Troubled Times" only retains the name and spiritual core, and the entire content was completely replaced, without any flaws in intellectual property rights.
I heard Lao Liang say, "Oh, you said someone is planning to hire you, it's him? I tell you, this kid sold my novel "Gaiba" for more than 30 billion, so he sent me a red envelope. You have to be careful! That red envelope was sent two years ago!"
"Hey hey, I didn't pay New Year's greetings to you two days ago? Lao Liang, what you said is wrong." Chu Yuanxi immediately cried out, "What kind of friendship do we have? Isn't it boring to give money? Besides, I haven't made any money when I sent the red envelope?"
"Well, if you make money, you won't send red envelopes. I understand, capitalists are so good at calculating."
Chu Yuanxi suddenly blushed. Of course, what was even more embarrassing was that Liang Kenian didn't know what to say.
His father said, "You go to Chu Yuanxi to do something. I have told you that this postdoctoral fellow is not something that humans do. You don't believe it. I am an old scientific researcher. I happened to ask Chu Yuanxi to pay you a penalty for liquidated damages, anyway, he has money."
Chu Yuanxi knew that Lao Liang was just talking straightforward. Although he could not live without money, he was actually generous. He didn't even mention any request when he gave "Come to the Mountains in Troubled Times" to himself. He should also give Lao Liang some compensation from the truth, similar to the supplementary agreement signed by Uncle He Sheng.
At the beginning, after the comic "Comessing in Troubled Times" had already made a name for itself and obtained good data, Chu Yuanxi looked for a supplementary agreement (Chapter 389). In view of the vague problem of Uncle Sheng's content creation during work, he paid a million yuan in the money-making fee, settled all the unfinished matters, and confirmed the ownership of the rights.
This is reasonable. Giving Lao Liang the same amount of cash should satisfy both parties.
But how to compensate Lao Liang is a problem, and there is definitely no supplementary agreement. Because after Baren Games and "From the Mountains" were sold in packages and sold, another agreement was suddenly made, but it was still involved in the copyright of "From the Mountains" and stamped with the official seal of Baren Group. What kind of tradition would it be?
However, even at this time, Chu Yuanxi did not have the idea of directly recruiting Liang Kenian and giving him a high salary. Although it is the easiest way to repay Lao Liang, it is not in his list of options.
Therefore, after hearing Lao Liang say this, Chu Yuanxi immediately stepped on the brakes for him: "Hey hey hey, whether Professor Liang goes to Xiaokang or not has nothing to do with this. He has the ability and will, and he is indispensable."
"Hey, do you still dislike me?" Lao Liang's reading glasses were inverted on the screen and couldn't see the eyes, but he was calm when he saw his movements. "Although my son is not very good at vision, he is still capable, otherwise he can't change his postdoctoral fellows to associate researcher."
"It's a special associate researcher." Chu Yuanxi added that although he didn't understand, he must know that there must be a gap between special appointment and non-special appointment. In particular, Lao Liang just mentioned the word "liquid contract fee", which makes it easier to associate.
Sure enough, Lao Liang's arrogant arrogance was stunned and he said, "Well, you guys can talk anyway." Then he disappeared.
Unexpectedly, when Liang Kenian spoke again, he took the initiative to talk about this postdoctoral fellow instructor, and then Chu Yuanxi realized that there was such a deceiving system.
First of all, what is a postdoctoral fellow? A postdoctoral fellow is not a degree or a rank, but a job position. It is a flexible position for young scientific workers who have a doctorate but do not have the qualifications and ability to independently obtain projects. Even scientific researchers who are already associate professors can go to other postdoctoral mobile stations to "enter" to do projects, of course this is rare.
Normal scientific researchers can be promoted through the path of teaching assistant-lecturer-associate professor-professor-professor-professor in the postgraduate and after graduation, but considering practice, they usually grow under the boss's wings, and share projects and funds through the boss's huge handling.
However, if you find that your boss’s project direction is not what you are interested in before you grow up, or if you want to change your course, you will lose the source of your project, and it is even more difficult to organize it in the scientific research unit you originally belong to. At this time, you need to make a transition through a postdoctoral position, go to another scientific research institution to do the projects you are willing to do.
However, the postdoctoral fellows in faculty is not the case. It is a temporary measure that universities want to find teachers but do not have a staffing position. Borrowing the postdoctoral fellows, the postdoctoral fellows recruited do not engage in research, but are engaged in teaching.
What makes it a scam is that the rules of the academic community are different from those in society. Although the contract is signed, it is impossible to write a promise to be compiled into a contract. You can only write "programming through review", while liquidated damages and other liquidated damages must be written in the quantity, because postdoctoral fellows are also treated.
Therefore, colleges and universities can change the conditions for the establishment at any time, and verbal commitments are meaningless. What’s more flawed is that the treatment will also change, but the penalty for liquidated damages written in the contract will not be.
The most tricky one is the lessons taught. When it comes to teaching, Liang Kenian can smile bitterly for a whole year. A pheasant class like Feng Lin’s presidential class is pretty good. He, a researcher in regional economy, even taught the government audit course. Any dirty and tiring jobs that the teachers in our school don’t want to teach will be criticized for the postdoctoral fellows.
Chu Yuanxi understood as soon as he heard it. It would be impossible to master government audits for a few years without working in the government. They are non-enterprise audits, and the gap with ordinary audits is as big as liberal arts and science. Otherwise, could Lao Liang be covered in misfortune?
However, this allows Liang Kenian to win the title of a special associate researcher. Although it is still not a member, it is called a special recruitment, but the treatment is still much better than when he was a postdoctoral fellow at a faculty member.
Occasionally, Chu Yuanxi also introduced the affairs of Baren and Xiaokang, and it was obviously more relaxed than at the beginning. Even if Lao Liang's son was not hired in the end, he was at least a reliable person. Some things that were not confidential could be discussed. And he would not need to be a consultant now. Although it was mainly Gu Xiaokang's question, Baren's business must also be understood, otherwise he would not be able to cooperate.
After he finished talking about the incubation of Ba people, DKP system and the well-off okr task system, Liang Kenian blurted out: "Isn't this the 15% rule of 3m?"
Chu Yuanxi thought for a moment and found that it was indeed a bit similar, similar to the spirit.
3m will definitely gain fame during this year's Spring Festival. It is a major American manufacturer. It is not only a big brand of masks, but also produces a lot of products, industrial products, consumer products, electronic products, etc. It is a world's top manufacturer.
They have a regulation that R&D employees, regardless of their identity, can spend 15% of their working hours to study what they are interested in. Everything is fine, and they don’t have to move closer to the company’s product line. And after determining the feasibility through such research, the company not only provides financial support, but also allows members from different departments and project groups to flexibly break out of the original project group and allow these like-minded people to combine into a new product cultivation group.
Chu Yuanxi knew how difficult this last post was, because if he was an outstanding employee, the leader of the "former project team" would definitely not be happy and would definitely obstruct him in every way. The difficulty of this kind of "flexibility" of promise is not to find people who are willing to do it, but to ensure that they can combine freely, and to ensure that they can return to their original positions after failure or find other suitable positions in the company.
