Chapter 397 A big gift
"The other two are compensations"
In the office.
Hearing Xu Yun's words.
Tian Liangwei straightened his body, changed into a more comfortable position in his seat, and continued:
"The second compensation is relatively long-term, and you may not see any effect in a short period of time - this compensation is to allow your book to be held in a meeting with hundreds of people after passing the basic review."
Ka——
Xu Yun's expression remained unchanged after hearing this, but his grip on the armrest of the chair suddenly became much stronger.
Naturally, Tian Liangwei's book does not refer to the H-comics on Forbidden Manga Paradise. The so-called Shanghui also refers to something else.
Both words are related to China's scientific research funds.
Mentioned earlier.
In addition to bachelor's degree - master's degree - doctorate - associate professor (associate professor) - full professor (professor), China's scientific research system also has another special sequence.
That is Qingjian, Youqing, Qingjiang, Qingqian, Jieqing, Yangtze and Daqian.
In the field of youth.
Qingjian is the lowest and Jieqing is the highest.
The targets of Outstanding Youth are Yangtze River Scholars and Daqian, and they belong to the limit of the prefix "Qing".
And beyond that.
Some institutions will also select some of the top talents in the industry through their own channels.
For example, various provincial-level "hard hat" scholars:
Taishan Scholar, Furong Scholar, Sanqin Scholar, West Lake Scholar, Yuewen Twelve Heavenly Kings, etc.
However, there is currently only one institution in China that can compete with the top four youths in the country.
That is the Hundred Talents Plan of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Of course.
The Hundred Talents Plan is also divided into three types according to level.
The lowest one is the Hundred Talents Plan C, which is called [Young Talents].
Next is the Hundred Talents Plan B, named [Technical Talents].
Further up is the highest level of the quasi-national title, Hundred Person A, [Academic Talent] - these titles that seem to be a bit middle-class are not made up by the author, but they are real
Among them, Hundred Person A can at least be on the same level as Qingjiang, and 50% of the head can be equivalent to the outstanding youth level.
And since there are talent classifications, there is naturally a need for a selection process.
This selection process is the so-called ‘meeting’.
This has a rather awkward name, called Mian Di Qing Project Review.
In fact, this word is the abbreviation of General Project/Youth Science Fund Project/Regional Science Fund Project, which is to take one word from each.
The so-called meeting means that you write the project into a bid application document - the so-called book and submit it.
The Foundation Committee then summarizes the corresponding scoring and rankings based on the results of the communication review and the review system.
Students who have applied for this book should know this.
Projects at the conference are automatically graded based on the communication review opinions, and scores corresponding to the review results of A, B, and C are assigned to each project based on the expert review opinions.
That is to say, "priority funding", "funding" and "no funding" are assigned. Each level will be assigned a certain score, and the total score is finally calculated.
Usually there will be 3-5 correspondence experts in a general youth fund book. For example, most youth funds and medical journals will have 3 correspondence experts, and regional funds and general funds will have 5 correspondence experts. .
In addition, the Outstanding Youth Association is a bit special. It is a small peer review. You can actively apply to avoid three people.
So why is it easier for the children of academicians to become "green"? The reason is here:
Most academicians will become members of the review panel of the corresponding department. Although they have to choose to avoid the selection process of their own students, what is the relationship between the review members?
Sometimes A's student submits a copy this year, and B's student may submit a copy next year, so A and B will have a smooth relationship.
This situation is not common, but it is not uncommon - in fact, it is also the case across the sea.
From ancient times to the present, from domestic to foreign countries, every industry has paid attention to human relations.
The only difference is that some people can understand where the "degree" lies, while others are more unscrupulous in their pursuit of learning.
all in all.
Since new entrants join every year, the competition becomes more intense every year.
If there is a letter review expert who gives a C, the total score will be obviously lowered when calculating the score.
Meetings are much more difficult.
Xu Yuntou's book died at this level in his previous life. He got 2B+1C, which was just a hair away.
But if Xu Yun had really attended the meeting in his previous life, he probably wouldn’t have had anything to do with this book.
In addition, since the application is for a fund, in private everyone will generally call friends who have attended meetings as gay friends, those who have attended many meetings as gays, and those who have failed many times in a row as dead gays
< br>
Ahem, let’s get down to business.
As the only quasi-national talent selection at present, the salary of Hundred Person A is even higher than most of the ranks among the Four Youths.
For example, the conditions offered by Fujian University to Hundreds A are a start-up capital of 800,000 yuan, and even a deficit is allowed.
This situation has resulted in the spot for Hundred Player A being very popular and valuable.
Analyze to some extent.
It is also one of the important contributing factors for the Academy of Sciences to have such strong scientific research strength today.
Tell the truth.
The Academy's list of 100 people was indeed within the scope of Xu Yun's plan.
But Xu Yun’s planned time is not now, but three to four years later.
At the same time, the target of the selection is not 100 people A, but 100 people C or at most 100 people B.
Currently, the youngest candidate for 100-A is Zhou Qi, who is now the vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
In 2001, he resolutely left the olive branch of the Gallic Academy of Sciences and returned to China. At the age of 31, he became the youngest member of the Hundred A.
Therefore, in Xu Yun's opinion, it is a bit shocking to be able to enter the top 100 at the age of 27 or 8.
The result was unexpected.
The Academy of Sciences actually made such a big move this time, allowing him to have the A-level book of 100 people last time?
To know.
These days, China's scientific research community is already highly controversial, and many people would rather keep a low profile.
in this case.
The Academy of Sciences actually dared to make this promise to Xu Yun. If Xu Yun was really selected as a Hundred Person A
Then I guess there will be a lot of criticism coming.
Looking at Xu Yun with a subtle expression, Tian Liangwei pondered for a moment and took the initiative to say:
"Xiao Xu, I can roughly guess what you are thinking. In fact, there is no unified view within the Academy of Sciences regarding agreeing to your meeting."
"But firstly, you have made a great contribution, and secondly, the paper on the solitary point particles and Mersenne prime numbers you derived is objectively of academic value."
"Purely looking at achievements, many outstanding young people, outstanding young people, and even a very small number of academicians have less academic achievements than you."
"So after three meetings and discussions, the Academy of Sciences decided to give you this opportunity - of course, the premise is that your notebook must be good enough."
Although Xu Yun was still a little lost in thought at this time, he still nodded slightly.
He naturally understands this.
Although the Academy of Sciences promised to put his book on the list, there will obviously also be an internal rating.
If it were a project to study how many words a writer could code by being put in a dark room, it would be impossible for the Academy of Sciences to provide it.
After a while.
Tian Liangwei looked at the time and said:
"Xiao Xu, the list of experts for this year's National Natural Science Conference will be announced at the end of July. The bid will be submitted on March 20, followed by formal review in April and letter review in early June."
"But your situation can be brought directly to the meeting, so just submit your bid before the meeting in July."
"You can draw up specific projects by yourself, or you can ask HKUST for help. You don't have to put too much psychological pressure on it."
Xu Yun hummed lightly when he heard this, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.
Speaking of bidding projects, he has many feasible directions at hand.
For example, the most reliable one is microbial battery.
At present, the power-generating bacteria have been identified as Yi'an bacteria, and the rest are mainly efficiency improvement links in current capture.
If you devote yourself to it, you may even be able to produce preliminary results during the letter review.
At the same time, there is also the ground state processing of isolated point particles. This involves the gravity gradiometer, which is a nominally legitimate project that cannot be more legitimate.
In addition, MR technology, hemostatic gel, and DNA storage technology at the end of Lao Su's copy are all very suitable choices.
However, the specific choice needs to be carefully discussed. After all, there are hundreds of people who have applied for A. In addition to reputational praise, they also have the support of other resources.
There are many important juice equipment in the academy. Although their unit price may not be as high as several hundred million, some equipment cannot be measured by the cost.
For example, the Academy of Sciences has a multi-axis parallel micro-nano measuring instrument the size of a microwave oven. The cost is probably more than 5 million, but its rarity is even much higher than that of an aircraft carrier:
There are only two in the country, and they were built through exhaustive methods.
Once access to these instruments is obtained.
Bliss.
Xu Yun wiped the non-existent hair from the corner of his mouth, took a deep breath, and looked at Tian Liangwei again:
"Teacher, I will consider this matter carefully, but what about the third compensation?"
"The third compensation."
Speaking of the third compensation, Tian Liangwei's expression suddenly became a little subtle, and the topic changed:
"Xiao Xu, I wonder how much you know about Advion?"
Xu Yun was stunned when he heard this:
"Advion?"
Advion is the foreign company where Corina Asensio works. As one of the colleagues who did evil to him, Xu Yun is naturally not unfamiliar with it:
"Advion is a well-known disinfectant and instrument manufacturer across the sea. It was originally a wholly-owned subsidiary of Syngenta."
“But before Syngenta was acquired by China Chemical in 2017, the actual control of Advion had returned to AstraZeneca.”
Although Xu Yun spoke in a calm tone, he was somewhat surprised when he learned about Advion's background - he didn't expect Advion to be inextricably related to AstraZeneca.
AstraZeneca.
Even though the name is somewhat similar to Asi Club, in fact the two are not at the same level in size. They are not even in the same dimension.
AstraZeneca's current market value is around US$200 billion, and its annual sales in China are close to US$4 billion. It is a true giant in the pharmaceutical industry.
Even among the world's top 500 companies, AstraZeneca is close to the forefront.
To know.
China Construction Bank, one of the four major banks in China, has a market capitalization of only 1.3 trillion Hua Xia Yuan.
AstraZeneca is also a century-old company. Its predecessor was the British Imperial Chemical Group, and later evolved into Zeneca.
The end of 1998.
Zeneca successfully merged with Sweden's Astra to form AstraZeneca.
Then on November 13, 2000.
AstraZeneca's agrochemical business, Zeneca Agrochemicals, and Switzerland's Novartis' crop protection and seed business were separated from the original companies and merged to form a company focused on agricultural technology.
That is.
Syngenta.
Then in 2011, Syngenta established Advion, a subsidiary.
Later, as the business developed.
Advion is becoming more and more important in Syngenta's internal system, and it has begun to design an instrument research and development industry.
It’s 2016.
Huaxia Chemical suddenly broke out a big news:
Sinochem Group will acquire Syngenta for 480 Swiss francs per share in cash, with the acquisition amount reaching an astonishing US$43 billion, becoming the largest overseas merger and acquisition by a Chinese enterprise.
But what few people know is this.
Long before the merger took place, Syngenta transferred Advion to AstraZeneca because they refused to classify the instrument business in the merger agreement.
Similar links are actually not only the instrument module, but also many other divisions.
That is to say, we only sell business, but not technology.
So despite the fact that Advion still carries the Syngenta brand, not even a dime of its profits will reach the hands of Huaxia Chemical.
This thing is a bit similar to a man named Wang and Big S. It costs you money to sleep with your lover at your house. If you want to burn the mattress, it’s fireproof
Okay, let’s return to reality.
Seeing Xu Yun clearly introducing Advion's situation, Tian Liangwei nodded approvingly and said:
"Very good, now that you can tell the relationship between Advion and AstraZeneca, the next content should be easy to understand."
Then he paused, organized some words, and continued:
"Xiao Xu, I remember you visited the CIIE two years ago, right?"
".?"
Although he didn’t know why his mentor changed the topic to the CIIE, Xu Yun still answered honestly:
"Well, at that time I was one of the members of the school tour group."
Tian Liangwei nodded and continued:
"In that case, you should have visited the 'HealthTOHO', right?"
"HealthTOHO?"
Xu Yun was startled again. After coming back to his senses, a trace of recollection gradually appeared in his eyes:
"Of course I remember."
HealthTOHO.
This is a project between Microsoft and AstraZeneca, and it is also a new attempt by Microsoft after HealthVault.
At the 2020 CIIE, this project can be said to have the spotlight on the bald man’s head – it shined brightly.
This project is a brand-new application in the field of smart medical care. As long as the doctor wears a pair of MR glasses, he can remotely control the robotic arm to perform surgery.
The lung surgery module displayed at the CIIE only takes 5 to 10 minutes for doctors to locate pulmonary nodules and then complete the operation through the smallest incision.
The total success rate in the three days on site was as high as 97%.
As a biology and physics student, Xu Yun was naturally deeply impressed by HealthTOHO.
And just when Xu Yun fell into memories, Tian Liangwei said again:
"Xiao Xu, you may not know that the leader of the HealthTOHO project is called Lu Xiao, who is also an alumnus of our University of Science and Technology."
“Later I went across the sea to study for a Ph.D., and I stayed at Microsoft after graduation—but there was no immigration.”
Xu Yun suddenly raised his eyebrows.
He was not surprised that the person named Lu Xiao had never returned to China. After all, there were too many people who had studied abroad or even immigrated these days.
The income and scientific research environment abroad are indeed quite favorable, and everyone has their own ambitions.
Those who are willing to come back to build the motherland naturally deserve respect, but those who go abroad to work in order to make a living are also understandable.
Just don't be a traitor.
Xu Yun knew many friends who had studied abroad in his previous life, and some people's situations were indeed extenuating.
For example, he knew a couple who ran a Chinese restaurant in Iberia. They couldn't open a restaurant without immigrating, and their taxes were much higher than normal.
And if they return to China, their income will be several times less.
In this case, would you say they immigrate or not?
There are also some scientific research talents whose salary abroad is several times that in China. This is also a very real problem.
Of course.
Those who go out to do bad things - such as Fang Yuzi, even if he is an alumnus of Xu Yun, Xu Yun, or all the students at HKUST still despise him.
What Xu Yun really cares about at this time is the other meaning of Tian Liangwei’s words:
"Teacher, could it be that Dr. Lu Xiao?"
Tian Liangwei nodded slightly, confirming his guess:
"Yes, Dr. Lu Xiao wanted to resign and return to China a few years ago, but because his research direction was too front-end, Microsoft or some higher will was unwilling to let him come back."
"Dr. Lu Xiao, for personal safety reasons, can only keep giving in."
"But this time Corinna from Advion was the party who proposed the smear plan in the meeting video. Advion's matter directly affected the parent company AstraZeneca - because Corinna directly mentioned AstraZeneca's name during the meeting. .”
"So after obtaining Dr. Lu Xiao's consent, the Academy of Sciences made representations to AstraZeneca on this condition."
"In the end, AstraZeneca reluctantly agreed to this request and negotiated with Microsoft - after all, this is a cooperation project between AstraZeneca and Microsoft."
"So Xiao Xu."
Having said this, Tian Liangwei couldn't help but look at Xu Yun again:
"This is the third gift from the Academy of Sciences to you, a top biological intelligence expert." (End of Chapter)
