Chapter 431： The competition for talent

"We have recruited more than 2,100 people in Hamburg, and in the Ruhr area, this number has reached more than 11,000. It is mainly concentrated in heavy industries such as steel industry, machinery manufacturing, chemical industry, and coal mining. In light industry, we have also recruited more than 3,000. People, mainly in the food, textile, paper, printing and other industries. In the field of education and scientific research, we have recruited 64 people with titles such as professors and senior engineers and above, 214 people with titles such as associate professors, and 457 people with titles such as lecturers and engineers. "

In a building in Hamburg, a Romanian staff member is reporting the current recruitment results to Carust in the office.

Because of the convenient transportation in Hamburg, Romania puts the headquarters of the introduction of German talents here, and Carust is responsible for guiding the recruitment of various regions here.

After listening to the report from his subordinates, Carust put down the pen in his hand and pointed out. "The introduction of education and scientific research talents is not enough. We need to increase our efforts, especially teaching senior engineers such as senior talents."

"I will send a telegram later to inform them of your request. However, we are restricted by Britain, France, the United States, Italy and other countries in recruiting these high-level talents, and they are also wooing these talents. Especially the United States. People, we can’t contend with their conditions."

The subordinate's report made Carust frowned. "Then start from other aspects, starting with the placement and living of their families. After all, our funds are not as rich as the Yankees, and we can't afford so much placement and research funds."

"Ok."

After his subordinates left, Carust rubbed his somewhat swollen temples. Of course he knew the wealth of Americans. The professor-level settlement fee alone can reach US$1,000-1200, while Romania can only give US$500-600. In addition, the gap in research funding is not small. Moreover, the gap between the United States and Romania is even greater for some well-known talents.

This is not to say that Romania cannot afford such a large amount of expenses, but to consider the domestic standards. If Romania is also given the level of the United States, then the domestic research and education personnel who work hard and complain, you will not rise up. The annual fiscal expenditure has been arranged at the beginning of the year. As soon as you increase your education and scientific research funding, what about other government departments' funding?

Moreover, recruiting education and scientific research talents in Germany is a long-term task, not a matter of one or two years, but a problem of more than ten years. Edel has explained to him in detail before setting off. If it is higher now, it will not be possible to lower it in the future. Carust didn't hear the words of Shengmien Doumiqiu, but he knew the truth.

"Da, Da, Da"

At this time, a knock on the door interrupted Carust's thoughts.

"Come in."

As Carust's voice fell, a subordinate opened the door and entered.

"Polk, how are things going."

Carrust asked the name of this subordinate, and Polk was the person in charge of his subordinate who was in charge of following up with the famous German scientist. The main purpose is to recruit these famous people in the scientific community to Romania to improve the level of domestic science. However, the competition he faces is also fierce. Countries such as Britain, France and the United States are also attacking these people, and Germany is keeping them.

It is not small at all to attract these scientific giants to Romania, but as long as one succeeds, Romania will make a profit. This is like the superstars of future football clubs, who can be introduced is to make money. Regardless of its scientific research field or Romania’s reputation, there should not be too many benefits.

"Currently, there is not much progress. Many people are politely rejecting, only a few people are considering. However, we have too many competitors and the conditions are not very good, which is very troublesome."

Polk's words also pour out Romania's embarrassment in the field of science. That is, there are too few research results in the field of scientific research in Romania, and Romanian scientists are not well-known. Although Romania has increased its investment in research funding in the past two years, scientific research requires long-term investment to produce results. Romania is still in the stage of expanding laboratory equipment and preparing for research when no results can be achieved.

This is also in Romania in recent years, except for the recruitment of Edel himself, and Rudolf Diesel, who was in trouble at the time, no other famous scientists have come. And in a strict sense, Rudolf Diesel is an inventor, not a scientist.

"Continue to follow up. These people are too important to Romania. We can't slack off a bit. As long as there is a chance, we need to use 200% of our efforts to fight for it. By the way, what's the matter in coming in?"

After Carust finished his request, he remembered asking Polk why he came to him.

"We have spent all our funds this month, and you need to approve $20,000 in funding from the boss."

Carrust asked while writing a note about funding. "Why do you spend so fast this month?"

"Mainly this month, I ran a lot in a row. When I went to visit Max Planck's house, I found that their life was difficult, so I helped them on my own terms."

Polk said that it is true that Max Planck is currently in a sad stage. His eldest son Carl died at the Battle of Verdun, and his second son Erwin was captured by the French army in 1914 and was released after the armistice. The eldest daughter Great died two years ago when she gave birth to her first child, and her second daughter also died in childbirth this year. At present, the second son and the youngest son are by their side. It is worth mentioning that both of his daughters are married to the same person, which is simply the most tragic scene in which a white-haired man sends a black-haired man.

"Go, don't let our work lag behind Vienna."

Carrust handed the written note to Polk.

Polk took the note and said, "Don't worry, I won't let Vienna run ahead of me. But I heard that they have found many young talents there."

Yes, Romania not only recruits high-level talents in Germany. In the core territory of the former Austria-Hungary, Vienna also arranged a group of people to do the same After all, the disintegrated Austro-Hungarian Empire still has a lot of talents. However, the funding is much less than that of them.

Facing Polk’s question, Carust replied: “Yes, because of the fierce competition among many famous scientists in Vienna, they found a lot of capable young people in a different way. I know what you think, but we No less than Vienna, young people looking for it, like those famous scientists looking for it. We must know that our funding is much higher than them. If we only achieve the same results as them, then how can we show our abilities before your majesty."

Polk put the note in his pocket and continued: "Okay, I understand. There are just a few famous young scientists. I will try my luck."

"Go ahead."

For his own independent and capable subordinate, Carust is also quite decentralized.

What they didn't know at all was that Vienna recruited a young man who was famous for his cat in later generations. It is unknown whether this young man will publish the theory that made him famous in the future. But I believe this is not difficult, after all, the ability is there.
