"Mr. Tu Xian, Ms. Wang Xiaoyun, this is the current situation. If you and your wife are willing to work full-time in Huarui laboratory, we can provide each person with a monthly salary of 2000 yuan and corresponding bonus. The maximum bonus can reach 12 months' salary, which is 24000 yuan. If only one of you is left, the salary will be 1600 yuan per month, and there may also be a maximum bonus of 12 months. "

Li Zhang Zhen stopped for a moment, slowed down and said, "of course, if you choose not to work full-time in Huarui laboratory, it doesn't matter. We provide a subsidy of 150 yuan per month."

Tu Xian and Wang Xiaoyun are sitting opposite him. They look solemn and change jobs. This is almost the most serious thing for Chinese people.

Yang Rui knew this very well, and he immediately added: "if you sign a contract within three days, we will give you a salary reward of three months. If two people sign a contract, it will be 6000 yuan for one person and 12000 yuan for two people. Signing a contract alone is 4800 yuan. In addition, we will try our best to help you with the formalities. "

Now the whole country is full of people going to the sea. It's not difficult to go through the formalities. The key is what they think.

Wang Xiaoyun looked at her husband Tu Xian and asked, "why is one person 1600 and two people 2000?"

"Because you are husband and wife, if you work together in Huarui laboratory, it will be more stable. For us, it can reduce a lot of costs. In addition, it is more convenient in terms of confidentiality." All the difficult questions are for Li Zhangzhen.

Wang Xiaoyun hesitated for a moment and asked, "what's the difference between a full-time job and a non full-time job, apart from the difference between subsidies and salaries?"

"In fact, full-time employees will enter a new company with the registered name of Huarui biology. All the assets of the current Huarui laboratory will be injected into the new company, and they will get more funds to do new research. Part time researchers will continue their potassium channel projects, mainly funded by Peking University and the national fund they applied for. "

"That is to say, part-time, similar to now?"

"There may be new laboratories, but there will be a fixed subsidy of 150 yuan. In a word, we hope you will stay in the way you like." Li Zhangzhen showed a sincere smile as much as possible and said, "I will also recruit new employees to serve you as well as possible."

150 There are quite a few yuan subsidies, a little higher than Tu Xian's current salary, but compared with 2000 yuan, it's nothing.

Tu Xian and Wang Xiaoyun are two typical dual employees who work in public institutions. In the 1980s, they are typical families with excellent economy. They are not short of money and usually make decisions not from an economic point of view.

However, the difference between a salary of 2000 yuan and a subsidy of 150 yuan is actually beyond the economic perspective.

But on the other hand, iron rice bowl is also very different from private enterprises, and foreign enterprises are no exception.

Tu Xian's work unit is Beijing Institute of iron and steel and the future Beijing University of science and technology. Although the Department of biology has just been established, it also means that Tu Xian is the elder of the Department. Even from the perspective of the future, it is difficult to say whether the outcome of Tu Xian's resignation is good or bad.

In an optimistic way, if Tu Xian stayed in Beijing University of science and technology, with his qualifications and level, he would be a professor in less than 20 years. At that time, he was still a young professor under the age of 50. At that time, he would have very good conditions to choose to live hard, to pursue official career, or to swallow gray income.

However, it's hard to tell the future of joining Huarui laboratory. If it is unfortunately opened, the result will be unpredictable.

Wang Xiaoyun's work unit is Beijing Institute of biological products, which is also a first-class biological research institution in China. As a woman, her chances of going to an official career in the future are relatively low, but in other aspects, she is not inferior to Tu Xian.

In this situation, is Hua Rui's condition worth making a great change in their life?

"We need to discuss it." Wang Xiaoyun did not immediately decide.

"Of course." Yang Rui expressed his understanding.

As they left, Yang Rui watched the door close and asked, "do you think they will agree?"

Li Zhangzhen is not sure: "if you are a teacher of HKU, if you pay 200000 yuan, you will definitely have to change jobs, because Americans can't pay so much. They make money and go abroad to work in the future. But for teachers in the mainland, I can't tell whether 2000 yuan is enough."

"A little bit more strength?"

"2000 yuan is enough, 3000 yuan and 4000 yuan. I don't think it makes much difference." A ten fold pay rise may be common in Silicon Valley, but it is absolutely rare in China in the 1980s."It's not about salary. I think we've ignored the research conditions," Yang said

"Conditions? Our laboratory conditions are first-class. " Li Zhangzhen doesn't know about the laboratory conditions of HKU or foreign universities, but he remembers the money Huarui spent every day.

Now, after processing a few kilos of samples a day, several hundred pieces of culture medium will be used. The cost of traveling to Yunnan is even higher. The instruments shipped directly from Hong Kong cost more than 100000 yuan. Yang Rui came back and kept ordering new instruments and consumables. After all, half of the 600000 Yuan sent by Peking University has been spent.

As far as Li Zhangzhen knows, HKU is not so extravagant.

Yang Rui didn't think about it from the perspective of the laboratory manager. He thought about it for a moment and said slowly, "I'm not saying that the conditions of our laboratory are not good, but I don't think we have given Huang Mao, Tu Xian and Wei zhenxue independent research conditions."

"You mean funding their own research?"

"Completely independent, now it's not mature, just to write an entry-level SCI paper? What's the difference between them and the other lecturers in the school? " Yang Rui is qualified enough to despise entry-level SCI papers. When he was in graduate school, he could write SCI level papers. At that time, the conditions were not as good as Huarui laboratory. In terms of the per capita instruments and per capita funds of Huarui laboratory, the goal must be "JMC" level papers to be sustainable. As for now, Yang Rui is about to publish "cell". It's meaningless for his laboratory to publish SCI entry-level papers again.

Li Zhangzhen didn't understand: "what else can we give if we don't completely independent?"

"You look like this. A few days ago, many instrument companies sent their catalogues? Bring it to me. "

Li Zhang Zhen didn't ask much. He immediately went to Westinghouse's utility room to look for the catalog.

Commercial companies in western countries like to make catalogues. Not only instrument companies, but toy companies send their catalogues to families with children. Some families give their children a budget, and then let them choose Christmas gifts in the catalogues. After confirmation, toy companies will send the commodities to buyers.

Most of the catalogues are in the form of magazines or newspapers. Nowadays, most of them are in black and white, but most of them are illustrated with pictures and texts. They mainly recommend some goods, and there are also large sections of goods details. It's a bit like the early online shopping. In fact, the mail order of goods in the West has developed for many years, and the application of scientific research is more comprehensive, as small as a test paper, As large as 10000 ton hydraulic press, there are all kinds of catalogues and illustrations for people to pass around.

The advantages of doing so are also obvious. Firstly, it can deliver the information the company wants. Secondly, the instrument and equipment companies are multinational, and the text translation is easier than making a phone call. Thirdly, the purchase of instruments and equipment is often not decided by one person, or even by the person who answers the phone or receives it. It is a catalog, More useful than a simple business card.

This is the situation now. Yang Rui put up a pile of catalogues, carefully selected three books, and said: "each person has a quota of 100000 US dollars, let them choose the instruments they want. Huang Mao, Tu Xian, Wang Xiaoyun and Wei zhenxue can choose instruments worth 100000 US dollars without repetition. "

"Ah? Why? "

"Because we are going to buy instruments anyway, and they are the actual operators, so they have the right to choose the instruments they want to use. The instruments are public, but the choice is left to them. " PCR is a big project. Yang Rui can't do it alone. If Huang Mao and others join in, they will take on quite a lot of tasks. The instrument will always be bought, and it's good to give them some rights.

Scientific research is actually a very private matter.

Everyone's way of doing experiments is different, and everyone's habit of doing scientific research is different. Maybe some people don't like to do repeated verification, then they will be willing to buy automatic instruments. Some people may not care about spending time doing repeated verification, but they care about the stability of the instruments.

Large scale equipment may require relatively comprehensive knowledge, but small laboratory instruments are not necessarily. In fact, it should not be difficult for professionals who are good enough to select equipment. Most of the professional instruments on this planet are invented and manufactured by professionals. This is their original job, even if they encounter rare equipment, We also have enough learning ability to cope.

In the advanced laboratory, the most important thing the senior researchers care about is the right to choose the equipment.

The salary of most basic scientific research personnel is not high, and the median is about $30000. If you save a little, this is more than the income of supporting your family.

However, the price of equipment is expensive, tens of thousands of dollars, hundreds of thousands of dollars, millions of dollars, tens of millions of dollars, hundreds of millions of dollars, billions of dollars... In theory, scientific research is as expensive as you want, the ion pair impact in Geneva, the Harvard telescope in the sky, the sky plane, the submarine, any kind of equipment, They can be big toys for researchers.For those who really like scientific research, the laboratory is the resting place.

Yang Rui has seen a lot of researchers with this tendency. When he was a student, a professor went to the laboratory rain or shine in winter and summer, just to take a standard afternoon nap - he couldn't get used to the bed at home.

Huang Mao, Tu Xian, Wang Xiaoyun and Wei zhenxue are all dream pursuers who aim at the road of science. This era is full of dream pursuers full of ideals and burning blood. Their dreams may gradually become reality, but they never disappear. On the contrary, working in Huarui laboratory will only make Huang Mao and others' dreams burn hotter.

A few thousand yuan is certainly a good way to settle down. It's the basic requirement to quit your job and make a great change in your life.

10 Ten thousand dollars represents dreams and respect.
