Chapter 81: Qilin and Hezun

To buy a horse bone with a thousand gold, you certainly can't just buy one horse bone; you have to attract more famous horses to come.

If Dongling High-Tech wants to break out of the encirclement of a group of foreign brands, it must have a top-level laboratory to provide support for Dongling High-Tech's technical department.

And if you want to cultivate a top-level laboratory, it not only requires huge R&D investment, but also requires a steady stream of top talents to join. Both are indispensable!

The foundation Li Dongling is preparing to establish will launch two awards: the Qilin Award and the Hezun Award. The Qilin Award is used to reward students in need of help at Hanxi Jiaotong University and Pingyang University, including issuing living subsidies to students in difficulty and issuing scholarships to students with excellent studies.

If the Qilin Award runs well in the future, it will also cover more schools in the country. This step can allow Dongling High-Tech to initially contact the geniuses in domestic universities. He doesn't expect to get them all into Dongling High-Tech, but it is enough to let some of them join!

This is a way with the lowest cost and the best effect to recruit talents. Otherwise, why do those overseas giant companies like to donate to universities? Besides tax avoidance, recruiting talents is also the most important purpose, and it is a way with low cost input and quite large return rate.

Giving scholarships to 1,000 geniuses and being able to recruit 100 of them, and if one industry big shot can appear among these 100 people, then the money invested is definitely considered to have been earned back!

To give another example, whether it is IBM or Lenovo and other brands of computers, they like to donate computers to schools. This is actually a way of publicity. It may take ten years or even longer to get a return, but it will definitely not lose money.

The first brand of computer contacted in school is the brand of the donated computer. When they grow up and buy computers, the first one they think of will definitely be the first computer contacted that year.

Scholarships and donating computers both require time and cost, but one day they will bear fruit!

As for the Hezun Award, it is issued to graduate students, doctoral students, professors, etc., who have begun to make academic achievements.

Like the Qilin Award, the purpose of the Hezun Award is also to recruit more top talents for Dongling High-Tech, and the purpose is also more pure and direct. As long as those top big shots are willing to cooperate with Dongling High-Tech and develop important results, Dongling High-Tech will issue the Hezun Award to them, and the winners will get huge bonuses!

In the future, Dongling High-Tech will prepare to build the Hezun Award into one of the top academic awards. Whether it is praising or promoting, it must make people feel that the winner of the Hezun Award is the top academic big shot in the country.

People live in the world, only name and profit, no one can be vulgar. High-end hunters often appear in the form of prey. Instead of racking their brains to recruit people, it is better to let those big shots send themselves to the door!

If the Hezun Award can be built successfully, creating the public opinion that whoever gets it can directly become the first person in the academic research industry, and attracting countless heroes to compete for it, then the benefits brought to Dongling High-Tech are almost unimaginable.

There is no such thing as a reason for nothing in the world. If you want to get it, you have to pay, especially in the scientific research industry. There has never been a shortcut. This is an industry that needs continuous trial and error. If there are geniuses, the trial and error cost can be reduced a lot. Dongling High-Tech needs more geniuses!

Hearing that Li Dongling wants to establish a foundation and issue the Qilin Award and the Hezun Award, Han Qianyi's eyes lit up. If these two awards are established, it will be absolutely beneficial to Hanxi Jiaotong University. Not only can Dongling High-Tech recruit talents, but Hanxi Jiaotong University can also borrow these awards to dig more talents.

"Hanxi Jiaotong University absolutely supports these two awards." Han Qianyi said with a smile.

After Han Qianyi and a group of school leaders left, only Li Dongling and Liu Youguo remained in the room. Liu Youguo said excitedly and uneasily, "Is the bonus given too much?!"

"The scientific research industry needs this bonus, and the practitioners of scientific research also need you, Professor Liu, as a role model. People need to live on hope, even if the hope is very slim!"

Now the domestic scientific research industry has reached the bottom. Even military scientific research units lack R&D funds, let alone other industries.

"This bonus, Professor Liu's team must get it. The joint laboratory needs a benchmark to appear!"

Li Dongling said directly. This bonus is like the Yuanmen Li Shu, which is the first step in promoting the Hezun Award. It must be issued, otherwise how can people believe it.

"Professor Liu, Dongling High-Tech has new R&D projects that need your support for Dongling High-Tech's technical department."

Next, Dongling High-Tech has many new projects to be developed, whether it is mini radios or car radios, etc., all need the help of the joint laboratory.

For Li Dongling's words, Liu Youguo agreed fully. Facing such a huge bonus about to be received, he had no complaints about being a cow or a horse for the joint laboratory.

And Tan Minghua and other team members following Liu Youguo had no complaints. They hadn't graduated yet, and the bonus they shared this time could be at least tens of thousands, which was several years of income working outside. What else was there to be dissatisfied with!

When news spread that Dongling High-Tech would issue a million-dollar bonus to Liu Youguo's R&D team, it instantly spread throughout the laboratory, and even within Hanxi Jiaotong University, news began to spread.

This million-dollar bonus had an impact on the domestic scientific research industry, which was about to misfire, no less than the impact formed by a nuclear bomb.

The media hadn't reported it yet, but in dozens of universities and research institutions in Xiyuan, Hanxi, it had already begun to spread wildly.

The current head of Dongling High-Tech's technical department, Chen Tao, was in the Xiyuan Electronic Engineering Research Institute where he was before. When Chen Tao was dug away with a high salary before, it caused quite a sensation here, but it was far less than the impact brought by the million-dollar bonus issued this time.

The Xiyuan Electronic Engineering Research Institute had a cooperative relationship with Hanxi Jiaotong University, and even half of the people in the institute were graduates of Hanxi Jiaotong University, and some were students brought out by Liu Youguo. It would be strange if they weren't affected.

"Liu Professor's team got the million-dollar bonus issued by Dongling High-Tech to the joint laboratory, have you heard?!"

In the institute, two people who graduated from Hanxi Jiaotong University gathered together and whispered.

"I heard it. Did they really get so much? That's 1 million!"

"The electronic pet machine that Old Liu participated in developing has earned how much money for the company Chen Tao went to. I heard from classmates in the Provincial Industry Department that the Japanese foreign exchange earned back now is already a large sum.

Issuing a million-dollar bonus is equivalent to 100,000-plus USD. I heard that the annual salary of engineers who went to America starts at tens of thousands of USD."

"That's true. With Old Liu's technology, if he really went abroad, he might get more. But Professor Liu and Chen Tao are also lucky to meet Dongling High-Tech."

"You say, when can our institute cooperate with Dongling High-Tech on some projects?!"

The two whispered, and they couldn't help but feel envious of Liu Youguo and Chen Tao, and finally couldn't help but look forward to the institute they were in being able to cooperate with Dongling High-Tech and share a piece of the pie.

When the news began to spread, it couldn't be stopped. Even if it hadn't been officially reported, this news had already begun to spread in major domestic universities and the academic industry.

Until the "Hanxi Jiaotong University Journal," which was issued in the school and the Hanxi academic industry, confirmed this matter in the newspaper.

Although it didn't directly say that it was the team led by Liu Youguo who got this huge bonus, it was reported and confirmed.

"Our school's R&D team cooperated with off-campus R&D institutions and made a major breakthrough, winning a million-dollar bonus. After handing over a portion to the school, this bonus will be distributed by the R&D team!"

This was an era of universal income generation. For example, an R&D unit that developed nuclear submarines produced cream with high-speed centrifuges. Those who ate ice cream all said it was good. Those who developed fighter jets designed washing machines, and those who produced radar sold fans. The service life was 70 years. The producers of these products could be said to be quite professional.

Compared to this, the R&D team led by Liu Youguo also created income for Hanxi Jiaotong University, handing over a portion of the bonus to Jiaotong University, and distributing the rest themselves. Compared with the R&D units that transformed across industries, it was already quite conservative!

After Hanxi Jiaotong University confirmed this bonus, the news reported by the media spread rapidly. Domestic R&D personnel heard this news that was enough to shock them for a whole year within a few days, and learned for the first time that doing R&D could also earn money!

Whether these R&D personnel would run to Hanxi to join the joint laboratory of Dongling High-Tech and Hanxi Jiaotong University was hard to say, but this news at least planted a seed in the hearts of domestic scientific research personnel, especially those technical big shots, that is, joining the joint laboratory and joining the Dongling High-Tech company might have unexpected gains.

This seed didn't know when it would take root and sprout, but one day, it would bear fruit.

While the scientific research industry was discussing this matter, the news reported by Hanxi media that Dongling High-Tech launched the Qilin Award and the Hezun Award attracted the attention of many people. The Qilin Award would be a scholarship, but the Hezun Award attracted the attention of many people, especially in the situation where Liu Youguo had just received a huge bonus, which attracted the attention of many people. Many scientific research practitioners were speculating whether the bonus of the Hezun Award would be as high as the bonus issued to Liu Youguo this time!

"Are you really going to invest so much in the foundation?!"

In Pingyang, in the office of Dongling High-Tech, Yao Luoying, who was helping to formulate the rules and regulations of the foundation, couldn't help but ask when she saw the scale of the investment Li Dongling was preparing to make for the foundation promoting the Qilin and Hezun Awards.
