"This is a way." Li Weidong nodded, and then continued: "Professor Zhuang, when it comes to scientific research, I thought you would ask me to provide scientific research funds to domestic scientific research teams. I didn't expect you to suggest

I form a dedicated team.”

"There are indeed many scientific research institutions in China that are engaged in research and development of sensor projects. For example, we at Tsinghua University have several project teams. However, there is a big difference between the scientific research conducted by our universities and research institutes and the scientific research conducted by enterprises themselves.

"

Professor Zhuang sighed softly and said rather melancholy; "Industry-university-research cooperation has been going on for some years and has achieved very fruitful results. However, scientific research projects in universities like ours are mainly aimed at the academic community, not

Service companies.

For us, publishing several heavyweight papers and then being recognized by the academic community is more important than bringing profits to the company. As for those scientific research institutions, the main work goal is to meet the scientific research goals set by superiors, nor is it

Serve the enterprise.

Therefore, I always feel that powerful enterprises should conduct their own scientific research, take the road of independent innovation, and directly serve the development of the enterprise with scientific research results. To put it bluntly, scientific research is for the purpose of making money and generating income, without any other purposes.

From an economic perspective, it may be more beneficial to the entire industry."

…

Scientific researchers are professional talents. If you want to recruit professional talents, you naturally have to find a specialized headhunting agency.

So Li Weidong found the famous headhunting company Heidrick & Struggles.

The business scope of modern headhunting companies not only recruits people from enterprises, but also includes corporate management consulting, corporate reform, structural optimization, personnel optimization and other projects. Many headhunting companies have the attribute of "corporate doctors" and can even save a company that is on the verge of bankruptcy.

enterprise.

Heidrick and Struggles is one of the top five headhunters in the world and is known as the "purest headhunter company." In terms of corporate doctors, Heidrick and Struggles is not the best, but if we purely talk about the headhunting business, Heidrick and Struggles is definitely the best in the headhunting field.

Nanbo Bay.

Moreover, Heidrick and Struggles is very good at headhunting for technology companies. One of the most successful cases was to recruit Kai-Fu Lee from Microsoft to Google. For this reason, Microsoft also fought a lawsuit with Google.

In order to recruit talents as quickly as possible, Li Weidong also offered very generous benefits, with no upper limit for top talents. Heidrick and Struggles also made a special plan for this and gave it to Li Weidong for review.

"Chairman Li, based on your request, Heidrick & Struggles has specially formulated a headhunting plan. Please take a look at it." The person who spoke was named Liu, and he was a leader among Chinese headhunters.

"Manager Liu, I am not very familiar with the headhunting business, so I would like you to briefly introduce your plan to me!" Li Weidong said.

"Okay." Manager Liu nodded and continued: "What you need are professional scientific research talents in sensors. Most of these talents are concentrated in European and American countries. But most of the technical talents in European and American countries are

Those who are unwilling to come to China to work.

Therefore, from the perspective of cost input and efficiency output, we first recommend that you build your R&D center in the United States, which will make it easier to recruit talents and reduce the cost of human resources."

For people from developed countries in Europe and America, working in developing countries is like exile. Especially Americans, they are not willing to work in Europe or Japan, let alone come to China.

For many poor and backward countries, the United States has not sent ambassadors for decades. It is not that it does not want to send people, nor that it cannot afford it. The important reason is that no one is willing to go. This is the level of national diplomacy, let alone ordinary people.

When it comes to working abroad, no one wants to go to poor countries and suffer.

After all, Americans are not as hard-working as the Chinese. If it were the Chinese, as long as they gave them more money and were willing to go to the poorest places in Africa to build roads, malaria and cholera would not be a problem.

Li Weidong decided to engage in R&D on his own, just to avoid being stuck in technology. If the R&D center was placed in the United States, it would obviously not be able to solve the problem of being stuck. So he said: "Manager Liu, thank you very much for your suggestion, but I

Or decided to keep the R&D center in China."

"In that case, let me introduce the headhunting plan we have formulated." Manager Liu opened the folder in his hand and continued: "Since technical personnel from European and American countries are unwilling to come to work in China, we will start from some Central and Eastern Europe

The country is looking for the right talent.

The income in Central and Eastern European countries is much lower than that in Western European countries. If they are willing to offer high salaries, they should be able to recruit talents in this field from Central and Eastern European countries. Especially some CIS countries, which have the industrial base left by the Soviet Union, still have

A certain amount of technical ability.”

Li Weidong thought for a few seconds and then said; "The CIS countries have the old foundation left by the Soviet Union, but even the Soviet Union was not as good as the United States in terms of sensor research. And it has been so many years since the Soviet Union collapsed.

I don’t know how much of the technology that has come down can still be used. So I still prefer to recruit talents from the United States.”

"Most Americans are unwilling to come to work in China. If they insist on recruiting talents from the United States, they may have to pay two or three times the salary before they are willing to consider it. And they only consider it, because they may take a salary

With this better condition, I can ask my boss for a raise."

Manager Liu continued: "So we have formulated a plan specifically for this. We will focus our recruitment on Chinese or Chinese scientific research talents. These people have Chinese backgrounds and are relatively willing to work in China. According to our

I understand that there are still many Chinese in the United States engaged in scientific research."

"Yes, this is a good direction. After all, Chinese people have more similarities in culture." Li Weidong continued; "One more thing will be added at that time. If you bring your family with you, we can solve it.

Issues such as spouse’s job and children’s schooling.”

Manager Liu took the notes and then continued: "There is another thing, which is for high-level scientific research talents. Such high-level scientific research talents are bound to have some special requirements, not just in terms of money or treatment.

You need to make the connection in person."
