"The hall has become a staff dormitory. Are these people not going back by themselves?" Su Cheng's tone was unrecognizable. He walked around the side of the stairwell, and saw sleepers on the floor of the hall behind the sheets. There are 30, NO.[-] people, some sleep on bedding, some hide in sleeping bags, most of them are wrapped in a thin quilt, which is also used as mattress and quilt.As for the pillows, they were almost all replaced by books.

In the whole hall, except for a space in the middle for going up and down the stairs, there are people sleeping on both sides. Thanks to the hot weather, such an empty hall will not be so cold and windy.This kind of Datongpu, which is not Datongpu, was only seen in Sioux City during the oil field battle, but that scene was the victory of spirit over matter, which was different from the background of this era.

Wang Yun was a little nervous. Two months ago, he was a researcher who only cared about the project. In a blink of an eye, he had to think about the eating and drinking of the entire research institute. He couldn't tell whether what he was doing was right or wrong. He hesitated for a long time, and told the truth : "Actually, most of the people staying in the office building are assistants and interns. They don't have staff dormitories. You know, we do research all day and night. Some people don't get off work until one or two o'clock in the morning. I don’t even have a car, and I can’t even go back, so I can only spend one night in the office. Many people brought their luggage here.”

Su Cheng also knew about low-paid assistants and unpaid interns. He nodded slightly and asked, "How many people sleep in the office building?"

"They all sleep in shifts, maybe two to 300 people."

"So much?" Su Cheng turned his head away in surprise.There were dozens of people sleeping in the hall, so he thought it was too many.

Wang Yun whispered, "We recruit more interns and assistants."

"How many?"

"It's almost two thousand." This is twice as much as it was more than a month ago.

Su Cheng took a breath: "You are almost catching up with the total number of employees in Dahua Lab."

"The Carbon Fiber Research Institute has approved 120 people. According to the number of experiments we have, it will take three years for this person to complete the current two-month amount. I think we have the equipment now, and we have figured out the experimental methods. We can't slow down because of human factors...and the fees for assistants and interns are low, so we recruit more people." Wang Yun talked about it, and said like a showdown: " If we don’t use this method, even if we can make cheap carbon fiber in two or three years, we won’t be able to sell the price. With the speed of foreign companies, the price of carbon fiber can be reduced by one-third in one year. Even if we don’t take the lead, we There is no advantage."

Su Cheng didn't say a word when he heard this, and went upstairs on his own.

I said everything I could say, but got no response. Wang Yun was dumbfounded all of a sudden, and thought to himself: It's life or death, you give me a good time.

After chasing up to ask, Wang Yun didn't dare, so he could only ask Yang Ming next to him in a low voice: "Does Director Su approve or not?"

Yang Ming couldn't make a judgment either, but he didn't want to show his timidity, so he said, "What do you think?"

"Is that angry?"

"It's hard to say." Yang Ming patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go up first, shall we?"

Fearing that he would continue to ask, Yang Ming ran up the stairs in three steps at a time.

Looking at the monkey-like office director, Wang Yun was stunned for a while, then chased after him regardless of his appearance.

The second floor is an ordinary office building, with a corridor in the middle, laboratories on both sides, and one or two windows in between, but it is much brighter than the dark office buildings that were common in the 90s.

There are signs hanging at the door of every laboratory and office, most of which are chemical laboratories and physical testing laboratories.

When Su Cheng went upstairs, he saw the door of the "Mechanical Performance Testing Laboratory" in front of him was open. A young experimenter probed his head. When he saw Su Cheng and a group of people, he immediately stood up straight, obviously waiting. Review posture.

"Are you an intern or an assistant?" Su Cheng asked him.

"intern."

"No pay?"

"There is a subsidy of 2 yuan per day." The intern replied cautiously, and at the same time looked at Wang Yun who came up from behind.

2 yuan a day, and 40 yuan a month without overtime. Even if he worked every day, 60 yuan a month was only enough for food expenses in 93, and he had to bear all expenses such as accommodation and clothing.In the case of not including room and board, a subsidy of 2 yuan is really equivalent to no salary.Probably, only ungraduated college students can bear it.

"Why are you willing to do an unpaid internship?" Su Cheng was really curious. College students in 93 are still very expensive, and the system of package allocation still exists. No matter what school or major, it is not difficult for college students to find a job with a solid job, but the unpaid internship in Dahua Laboratory does not guarantee hire.

The Carbon Fiber Research Institute has a full staff of 120 people, but there are 2000 assistants and interns. No matter how it expands, it is impossible to expand more than ten times.

The intern standing opposite Su Cheng looked at Wang Yun and said, "I believe I can stay."

"Can't you stay? There will always be people who can't stay."

"I will be able to become an assistant within a year, and if I accumulate working hours, I will definitely be able to stay."

"What if you haven't stayed after graduation?"

"I've already graduated." The intern said bluntly.

"Have you given up the national assignment?" Today's college students will be assigned to different national units after graduation, and there is no need for civil service examinations.Correspondingly, if you give up the assignment, it will be difficult to enter the state agency again, and there is also no path for civil service examinations.

Sioux City himself was assigned to the oil field from the school.For any college student, giving up the state allocation is a bold move. If he directly enters a private company to get a high salary, it will be fine. To be a low-paid assistant, Su Cheng asked himself that he would not be able to do it back then.

The intern on the opposite side didn't think so, and said: "The national distribution is not good, I have to do research."

College students full of ideals were not lacking in the 90s.In fact, even if most college students in the 90s did not achieve any earth-shattering feats, they still had enough food and clothing.Without material constraints, one can naturally let one's ideals fly. Such an opportunity is beyond the envy of ordinary college students in future generations.

Su Cheng sighed with emotion, and said with a smile: "National research institutes can also do research."

"They? Just pay a little more than assistants. Assistants are 180 yuan a month, but they can follow researchers and associate researchers to do projects, and they get project bonuses when they are completed. How many domestic research institutes can allocate 10 yuan for a single project?" ?In the end, I waited to die with a dead salary of several hundred yuan. Many researchers in their 40s and 3000s did not do as many experiments in a year as I did in a month. The student also let go, and said: "Besides, as long as you are an assistant researcher, you can earn a thousand yuan a month, and you can earn two to three thousand yuan as an assistant researcher. You can earn it back in two years!"

According to the salary standard of Dahua Industrial, even ordinary researchers without "special contribution" can earn more than 2000 yuan a month. Depending on the level, salaries of 3000 or even [-] yuan are common.

Of course, Dahua's ordinary researchers are also rare academic elites in China.In the first two years, fresh graduates were directly recruited. Their resumes and university grades can blind the eyes of krypton gold dogs in a room. High scores in national competitions, national scholarships or papers with high impact factors are just appetizers... China's education The system has always been elite education, and this has not changed until 20 years later.Although you can graduate without studying, it is still not easy if you want to study hard and get excellent grades.

No matter how the media belittles China's university education, even if 90% of the students do not study at the university, 10% of the students still study.For any student who wants to win the first place, brutal competition is still indispensable.In fact, China’s university education has always faced the top 10% or even 5% of students. The new knowledge system and excessive coursework requirements have not changed until 20 years later. The expansion of enrollment may increase the number of students enrolled, but it has not decreased. University coursework requirements.For the 90% of students who do not have a solid foundation, they may achieve something in business, politics, or art, but unless they spend several times the time, most people are doomed to fail in academics at the beginning of enrollment. Something has been accomplished.

For the current Dahua Industry, the students who can join at the beginning of graduation must be top-notch in all aspects. Basically, the resumes of most graduates must be among the most beautiful 10%. The interview opportunities, salary and status of the Dahua Laboratory are increasingly demanding. Only the two difficulties of the written test and the interview can pass most of the elite students. Schools that lack famous teachers and excellent teaching equipment It is basically difficult for students to enter the door of Dahua laboratory.

It is foreseeable that with the current low-paid assistant and unpaid intern system implemented by Dahua Lab, the difficulty of joining Dahua Lab in the future will only increase, not decrease.At least, except for those who have made great achievements, the vast majority of newcomers have to start as interns.

However, compared with domestic research institutes, Dahua Laboratory's investment is much larger. The 90s was the low tide period for domestic research institutions. The lack of funding was not even enough to guarantee the salary and benefits of researchers. How could Dahua Laboratory do expensive material experiments like Dahua Laboratory?

Such a situation is difficult to change within at least ten years.Especially before the implementation of the patent law, the research results of state-owned research institutions were almost free to enterprises, and no amount of money earned by enterprises would be distributed to research institutions. Research institutions also lacked interest in market-oriented products, preferring to save money and sound good. Theoretical research... In domestic research institutes, only a few projects guaranteed by the state can obtain some special funding. For example, the carbon fiber project was not included in the list of state guarantees until 15 and received a small amount of funding. It was not until [-] years later that it was listed as a key project and received a large amount of funding.

But for current researchers, there are several five years, several 15 years to wait.

Wang Yun has done experiments on paper countless times. The carbon fiber research institute of Dahua Laboratory can make such fast progress, thanks to his early accumulation.However, if the current experimental conditions existed before, why wait until now to produce results.

"How are the requirements from intern to assistant to assistant researcher determined?" Su Cheng asked Wang Yun this time.

Wang Yun said a little unnaturally: "Time plus assessment, the current plan is for unpaid interns to work for half a year or more than 1200 hours, and the assessment is transferred to assistants. The effective working hours of assistants exceed 1 hours, or they are recommended by the chief researcher. After passing the assessment, he will be transferred to an assistant researcher."

The assistant researcher is a full-time employee of Dahua Industrial. Wang Yun asked tentatively: "In three or four years, our carbon fiber research institute can always add hundreds of establishments, right?"

"If you make achievements, you can naturally increase your staff."

"How much can you add?" Wang Yun asked directly without so many twists and turns.

Su Cheng was stopped by the question, and said dumbly: "This has to be left to the personnel department, so anxious?"

"Aren't I worried that the previous promise will be invalidated? If there are more establishments, everyone will be more motivated to work. I regret it now, because I filled up all 120 establishments at that time." Wang Yun really looked regretful. , and patted his head and said: "At that time, I was also squeezed out. Those who could work on projects independently were too old, and the salary was not high enough, and they were unwilling to resign. Later, in order to cooperate with them, so many low-paid assistants were recruited. And unpaid interns, without a little head start, the institute can't go on."

As he said that, Wang Yun looked at Su Cheng anxiously, and said, "Look, we have produced the finished carbon fiber in two months, if we can add another 120 weaves this year, I promise to make two more carbon fibers! "

Su Cheng is habitually in a state of contemplation.

Yang Ming was worried that he would agree, so he hurriedly said: "The Carbon Fiber Research Institute is not included in this year's budget. All the 120 staff members use a flexible budget. The salaries of assistants and subsidies for interns are also outside the budget. The research funds are The overall budget of Dahua Laboratory has squeezed out the funds of several material projects, if the funds and salaries of another 120 people are increased, everyone will have to rebel."

To Yang Ming, Wang Yun had nothing bad to say, and said with a stiff neck, "It's okay to increase 120 assistant researchers, only to increase the salary, not to increase the funds, and the assistant researchers don't do independent projects."

"Then you have to pay hundreds of thousands more every month. You can talk to Li Huanxiang and see where Dahua Lab can get hundreds of thousands more." Dahua Lab's annual funding is hundreds of millions of yuan, but Being divided by several research institutes, it will not be much in the overall funding of the laboratory. Thousands of researchers have thousands of projects waiting to be fed, and the funding was scraped at the beginning of the year, let alone now It's the end of the year.In addition, there is a clear distinction between experimental funds and personnel salaries in Dahua Laboratory's budget. Yang Ming has been in administration for many years and knows how troublesome it is to coordinate these things. To make a lot of documents, Dahua headquarters has to check countless documents. In the increasingly institutionalized Dahua Industrial, these paperwork are indispensable, otherwise the management of the headquarters will get out of control.

Wang Yun, like other researchers, was extremely dissatisfied with the bureaucracy, and bargained: "120 is not enough, but 100 is fine. We now have [-] small assistants, and we must solve one-fifth of them."

Yang Ming said suspiciously: "You said 1 hours of effective working time, based on 8 hours a day, you have 1250 working days. Even if you work a lot of overtime, you won't need to increase your staff for three years."

"It's not that there are researchers recommending it." Wang Yun twitched a bit.

"This can be controlled, and even if there is, it should be included in next year's budget."

"Turn to an assistant researcher one year late, and everything will be a year late in the future. He has made achievements, so why not let him become a regular." Wang Yun spent most of his time working in a national unit, and he still spoke in the tone of a national unit, but the meaning It's the same.In Dahua Industrial, seniority is also a very important factor in the most important "special contribution list". On the other hand, the contemporaneous concept similar to the Japanese consortium also has a strong meaning in Dahua Industrial. After 20, there may be a huge difference between officially joining Dahua Industrial in 93 and joining Dahua Industrial in 94.

The interns standing on the side saw that it was an important moment to decide whether to eat meat or soup for the interns and assistants, so they seized the opportunity and said: "1 hours of working time will not take three years, two years There's no time left."

Several people turned to look at him.

The intern snapped his fingers and said, "Our interns work at least 100 hours a week, and generally can reach 110 hours. I work six and a half days a week, and I have accumulated 500 hours a month. Even if I take a month off every year , I can also accumulate 2 hours of working time in 11000 years. 1000 hours are used to transfer to an assistant, and the remaining 10000 hours are enough for me to transfer to an assistant researcher."

Su Cheng's eyes were straightened: "Work 110 hours a week?"

"110 hours is the average level. There are many people who work 120 hours a week. If you look at the people who sleep inside and outside, they all sleep four or five hours a day. Even those who live nearby are reluctant to go back and waste an hour going back and forth. "

Before Wang Yun could stop him, the intern finished talking. He scratched his head anxiously and said, "I'm not exploiting labor. I want to drive people back to rest. I can't even drive them away. There is a meeting to discuss reforms." The rules have been pushed back again."

Only then did the intern realize that he had said the wrong thing, and remedied: "We are happy to stay in the laboratory, what's the point of going back to sleep, as long as the carbon fiber research has all the funds to do the experiment, I would rather do the experiment until I die."

The words "death from overwork" instantly appeared in Su Cheng's mind, and he hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, the intensity is too high, it must be lowered."

"We would love to."

"I can't do it if I'm happy, it's really exhausting, and the media doesn't want to criticize me." Su Cheng insisted: "100 hours of work a week is too much..."

"What's the matter with the media? Those who do research and experiments, what's the point of day and night? Such good equipment, such good conditions, if you don't hurry up to do research and experiments, isn't that a crime?" The old man who came out of the laboratory, looking at his gray hair, was at least 70 to [-] years old.

This kind of face is either a retired researcher hired by Dahua, or a part-time veteran. It is not easy for Su Cheng to order directly, so he can only say gently: "Our Dahua laboratory will only invest more and more. As long as we don't waste equipment That’s enough, you can’t exhaust people for the equipment.”

"I think you are saying the opposite. People are not tired. When we were engaged in the 156 project, who didn't sleep three or four hours a day? Didn't they live to their seventies and eighties. The equipment is different. The equipment needs to be The old one, this year is still first-rate equipment, if you don’t hurry up to use it, it will become second-rate equipment next year.” The gray-haired old man said, pointing to the assistants and interns beside him, and said: “Ask these boys , Those who want to go to Tsinghua University and University of Science and Technology of China, who doesn’t read 100 hours of books a week, will be exhausted if they read 120 hours of books? Doing experiments in the laboratory and writing experimental reports, the wind can’t blow and the rain can’t rain Yes, can you be more tired than workers and peasants?"

Su Cheng was dumbfounded, but didn't know how to refute.Explain the relationship between stress and karoshi?Arguing with the old man who worked on the Soviet aid construction project in the 50s, isn't that a political lesson?

Yang Mingqing coughed twice and said, "Shall we ask the interns and assistants what they mean?"

"You won't win if you ask them." The old man hummed and said, "Researchers in their 50s and [-]s have to work overtime for three or four hours every day. Do assistants sleep too much? Then what do you want an assistant to do? ah!"

Yang Ming became anxious: "This old gentleman..."

"This is Professor Du Manchun. He has been a visiting scholar at Kemnitz University of Technology in Germany for three years and has just returned to China." Wang Yun was afraid that he might say something wrong, so he quickly introduced.

Yang Ming was stunned.Why is this person who worked on Project 156 still returning from overseas?

The old man waved his hand domineeringly, and said: "Don't engage in those things that worship foreign countries. Why is Germany's industry so powerful? Germans are hardworking and willing to work. Whether it is an apprentice in a technical school or a student in a school, they spend 100 hours a week in the factory. There are a lot of people in , libraries and laboratories. What others can do, why can’t we do it? Can we do it?”

"It can be done." The proud roar resounded through the corridor.

Only then did a few people realize that researchers and interns were already surrounded in front of them.The young interns blushed with excitement as if they had been injected with chicken blood. The older researchers also recalled the glorious past, and their necks were raised higher than the young people.

The old man Du Manchun smiled, he held the door a little, and said in a confident voice again like a speech: "Our country is backward, just talk about carbon fiber, what a good thing, it can be used for both military and civilian use, light in weight and strong in strength. High, but what level are we? We can’t even do T300, and foreign countries have achieved T800. Our country is more than ten years behind. This lost time, don’t we have to try our best to catch up? Germans and Japanese work 100 a week Three hours, 110 hours, we have to work 120 hours, 130 hours before we can catch up slowly, do you think this is the reason? Xiaosu?"

Su Cheng really hasn't been called Xiao Su for some days, but at this moment, he can only lower his head honestly and say, "Yes."

"That's right." Satisfied, the old man scolded Fang Qiu and said, "What are you afraid of if you are exhausted? The general's horse leather shroud is returned. If a researcher can die of exhaustion in the laboratory, that would be a good talk, right?"

"This... It's not enough to be exhausted. As the chairman, I have to ensure the health of the employees, right?" Su Cheng said cautiously.This meant that Du Manchun was an old man and a retired cadre.For someone else to say that, I don't know how many hats have been put on them.

However, these researchers followed Du Manchun's tricks, and started buzzing down below. If they were in a hurry, they rolled up their sleeves and went back to do the experiment.

Du Manchun was proud, knocked on the door with his black fingers, and said with a smile: "Look, this is the opinion of the masses. If you want your employees to be healthy, why don't you buy two more commuter cars and get more hot food and soup in the cafeteria?" , stronger than anything."

"You're right." Su Cheng nodded honestly, then turned around and said, "Yang Ming, you record, transfer two commuter cars to the research institute today... Well, how about this, transfer four cars, Equipped with 8 drivers, for the entire Dahua laboratory, four vehicles are on duty 24 hours a day, and when the car is full, they will drive to and from the dormitory area and the laboratory.”

Yang Ming moved his pen like flying, making notes in his notebook with a "scratch" while a group of people watched from the side.

Su Cheng thought for a while, and then continued: "The cafeteria also has the same policy. I remember that it used to work 24 hours a day, right?"

"The meals in the evening are relatively simple, because there are fewer people eating, and the dishes that are not durable are not cooked, and they are rarely replenished when they are sold out." Yang Ming is the director of the office, and he is very clear about this.

Su Cheng waved his hand and said: "In the past, there were few people who ate supper, but now there are more young people who work overtime and stay up late, so they have to cook it as a serious meal. If the dishes are not durable, make more soup. If the chef can't, then find a few Cantonese chefs .”

"Yes."

"The dormitory should strengthen the group's housing policy, include interns and assistants into the group's housing policy, and order the financial department to make a budget." After Su Cheng said this, the interns and assistants cheered. Dahua’s housing policy is a combination of subsidies and real goods. If you are willing to live in a dormitory, you can live in a dormitory. If you don’t want to live in a dormitory, you can enjoy a subsidy. The amount of the subsidy is estimated based on the average rental price. Both Dahua Industrial and Dahua Investment are wholly-owned companies in Sioux City. With his left hand, he lent the land purchased by Dahua Investment, and with his right hand, he can continue to purchase the land with the cash paid by Dahua Industrial, and he can also solve the problem of land retention by the way.

For the interns and assistants, eating in the cafeteria, wearing lab coats, living in dormitories, and taking the shuttle bus, the living problems are basically solved.

"Yes." Du Manchun was so happy that he spoke his native dialect, and said after changing his tongue, "That's it, if Boy Wang can't make T300-level carbon fiber, he will spit on him."

Wang Yun had a bitter expression on his face: "Master..."

There was laughter all around.

Su Cheng heaved a sigh of relief, touched his neck, and felt the sweat on his head. Then he felt the sweltering heat on the first floor. After thinking for a while, he grabbed Yang Ming and said, "In this way, add air conditioners to the buildings of the Carbon Fiber Institute. With so many people sleeping on the floor, it might be very hot at night.”

Hearing the word "air conditioner", the people in the carbon fiber institute who were talking cheerfully at the side closed their mouths and widened their eyes.

Air conditioners in the 90s were rare items. Imported ones cost 5000 yuan, and domestic ones cost up to [-] yuan. Moreover, the air conditioners at this time were supplied by ticket, and it was not easy to install them. They had to be paid to the power supply bureau. The installation fee of [-] yuan, after they send people to do the power grid transformation, they will notify the air-conditioning company to install it.

Shanghai*Shanghai has always been the city with the highest living standard in China, but in the season of 93, in order to install an air conditioner in the wedding room, ordinary families would inevitably mobilize the whole family to get tickets, collect money, and find someone to install it... …It’s not surprising that an air conditioner consumes a family’s savings for three to five years. Even so, everyone still waits in line to buy it. The summer in the south is too difficult, especially for families with small houses. Even if the air conditioner is turned on for two hours a day, It was also very comfortable and very respectable.

It is so troublesome to install an air conditioner at home, so it goes without saying in the workplace.Foreign companies occasionally have air conditioners, and state units only have air conditioners for machines, but very few for people, including the headquarters building of Dahua Industrial, which only has electric fans and no air conditioners.

Yang Ming's head was as big as a bucket, and he whispered: "All three buildings are air-conditioned? What about other research institutes and project teams?"

"If you want anything else, you can make a report and apply. This time, it will be an oral application by Professor Du Manchun." Su Cheng paused and continued: "Inside Dahua Industrial, the Dahua Laboratory has priority in installing air conditioners, and we must wait for the Dahua Laboratory to install air conditioners." After all the installation is completed, we will consider the Dahua headquarters..."

Following Yang Ming's recording, the young people quickly started whispering, and only heard a high-pitched voice: "Great, I'll roll up my bed tomorrow too. Do you want to bring a thick quilt? I heard that the air conditioner is very cold. "

"Aren't you married? You don't want your wife anymore?"

"It's so hot to sleep with my wife in my arms..."
