Chapter 445 Deep Virtual Reality 273
"Does the plan for the Yalein Science and Technology Park need to be changed?"
At the long conference table, the professors and ministers had finished their discussions, and Professor Sidane and the others looked toward the lady at the head of the table, following the sound of their voices.
Even today, they still feel disillusioned, wondering why the leadership changed so suddenly.
Although an executive president is just a high-level employee, the people behind him are different, so his net worth is naturally different. Moreover, unlike previous executive presidents, Xie Ning has more power and a greater say.
He was practically second only to the leader, above everyone else. The other directors, who were usually so high and mighty, didn't dare utter a single word when something really happened. Now, Huarui Technology Company is undergoing a major reshuffle, and the previously accepted rules have been broken.
The company and employee rules are no longer just a piece of paper that can be discarded. Instead, they clearly list various rules and penalties, rewarding good performance and punishing mistakes. The quality of the rules is judged by data, not by what one person says is good or wrong.
The strict hierarchy and unspoken rules in the laboratory were also exposed. The professors Xie Ning encountered were all quite good, mainly because she was referred internally, so she received less treatment and less exploitation.
The professors leading the teams were all highly qualified; they not only raised research funds but also conducted experiments themselves.
However, not all laboratories are like this. Just take Dr. Ji's subordinate laboratories as an example, there are quite a few unspoken rules.
This is why Gu Xi, despite being highly capable, has been working in the lab for several years but is still doing menial tasks.
The laboratory is like a pyramid, with a strict hierarchy. Most people in it are doing specific, trivial work. Outside, they may be well-dressed social elites who can sit in clean restaurants, but inside the laboratory, they are at the bottom.
It's just a tool with hands.
The lab leaders, when the company provides little or no research funding, are responsible for raising research funds. However, they rarely conduct experiments themselves, yet they are the main authors of the experimental reports. They are the true contributors to the academic projects.
It is benevolent of the leader to allow other participants, or even the actual researchers of the academic project, to sign their names on the research report.
This unspoken rule is tacitly accepted in academia.
The people at the long table looked at each other in silence as they saw the newly issued notices. The professors and PhDs with real talent were fine, but those who applied bureaucratic rules to the laboratory and academia reacted strongly.
With just a little effort, they could enjoy the glory and benefits brought by the experimental results. Now they are told that they don't need to worry about research funding and can focus on their research.
The problem is that they only possess superficial knowledge, which is merely a collection of facts; their actual knowledge is pitifully lacking.
But the people sitting in the conference room now were all selected by Xie Ning and were experts in their respective fields, so for the time being, no one objected to the notice.
What they were thinking about was how to deal with their own people when they got back. Judging from Xie Ning's attitude, they didn't want to keep those ignorant parasites at all.
Someone glanced at Sidane and secretly sent a message. After all, Xie Ning had been Sidane's subordinate before, so Sidane must have some influence over him, right?
Sidane: ...Out of sight, out of mind. What could he possibly know? Xie Ning is clearly trying to scrape away all the rotten flesh. Going up at this point would be asking for trouble. He's not stupid; everyone's legs went weak when they left the conference room earlier.
Xie Ning met Professor Sidyan's numb gaze, nodded with a faint smile, and then answered the question posed by his assistant.
"The plan proceeds as scheduled. I've already made arrangements with the Shen family; you can directly coordinate with them. Additionally, a project team will be set aside specifically to handle investments in Yalein..."
Technology as equity? No, she can only become a researcher in one of the laboratories, and her say won't even surpass that of the main person in charge of the laboratory. But there's a place for everyone, and if there's no place for her, then she'll use money to create one.
