Chapter 411 Are you threatening me?
The Institute's meeting was held as scheduled.
Everyone gathered together again at Su Mei's call.
This was the second plenary meeting held by Su Mei since she entered the institute.
At the last meeting, Su Mei adjusted the institute's personnel structure and changed the salary ratio.
This time everyone was watching silently to see what new moves Su Mei would make.
After everyone arrived, Su Mei stood on the podium in the middle of the conference hall.
"Professors and teachers, good afternoon, everyone. Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend my organizational meeting." After taking the stage, Su Mei bowed seventy-five degrees to everyone after taking the stage to deliver a speech.
After bowing, Su Mei began to talk about the purpose of holding this meeting.
She did not prepare a manuscript. She stood upright on the podium and said in a very serious tone:
“I held this meeting today for many reasons. The first is to announce how the donations received by the institute will be used. The second is to prepare to change the institute’s recruitment process. The third is that I have decided to establish a new public laboratory.
The institute received a total of 70 million in donations, of which 30 million will be used for the construction of public laboratories, and the rest will be used as the institute's scientific reserve fund and research incentive fund.
The reason why I want to set up a new laboratory is that I have found that among the professors and scholars in major universities, there are many very outstanding scholars and researchers. They are unable to enter graduate school due to their lack of expertise. Therefore, they do not have good research resources and cannot achieve ideal research results.
The purpose of establishing a public laboratory is to allow these capable non-staff members to have certain opportunities to use high-end laboratories, and to provide the research institute with an additional channel to attract outstanding scientific researchers.
I believe everyone knows that the drug patent sold to the African country was obtained by a Yenching University graduate who did not enter the institute. This is enough to show that the institute's recruitment method has great drawbacks.
This also includes myself. Although I have achieved many results that have attracted worldwide attention, I failed the graduate school's review exam when I first took the exam.
So I needed to make changes to the graduate school's recruitment process. On the one hand, I wanted to absorb new outstanding researchers through public laboratories. On the other hand, I decided to reuse the recommendation system that had been eliminated by the graduate school, allowing professors to recommend students they thought were suitable to enter the graduate school.
To sum up, these are the three points I mentioned at the beginning. Now you can propose three reform plans for me and put forward your opinions and suggestions. "
"Isn't it inappropriate to reuse this recommendation system?" The first person to raise doubts was Lou Shanchuan. Su Mei did not inform him of the content of the meeting before convening it, so Lou Shanchuan was a little confused.
"The institute had this system before, but it was cancelled because it recruited many people who were not capable enough, so the recommendation system was later cancelled."
"In the past, some people brought in people with connections because they were useless, and the institute had to bear the cost. Now, Professor Lou asks everyone, will anyone still be forced to bring in relatives out of personal relationships?" Su Mei asked everyone present with a smile.
If you think about this problem a little, you will find that no one will do that now, because the people who are introduced now have to follow the professor and share the professor's salary.
Who would bring in useless people to cause trouble for themselves?
But in this case, the recommendation system loses its meaning. Lou Shanchuan said: "Since the recommended students come in to follow the professor and share the professor's salary, who would still recommend people to come in and make themselves suffer losses?"
"I won't let anyone suffer." Su Mei liked Lou Shanchuan to ask about it. Although the two of them didn't discuss it, they seemed to be in cahoots with each other. Su Mei explained,
"If the recruits are useful, they should be able to quickly pass the mid- to high-level laboratory assessments, or achieve outstanding results.
If students achieve good results, not only can they receive a bonus, but the professor who recommended the student to enter the graduate school can also receive a very generous "Bo Le Award."
"Bo Le Award?" Lou Shanchuan thought of the meaning of the award from its name, and he immediately said, "That's fine. No matter how good a horse is, it can't be without Bo Le. If there is an award to be won, there must be many Bo Le."
"Yes." Su Mei nodded, and then she asked, "I have explained this matter clearly. Other professors, do you have any other questions?"
"There is a problem, a big problem." Just as Su Mei finished speaking, Lu Aoxiong spoke up, "The Medical Research Institute has a logistics department, a finance department, and a performance evaluation department.
All the funds used by the institute must go through the finance and logistics departments. Why did President Su take over the authority and decide the use of the funds without anyone's consent?
The director of the institute is mainly responsible for leading all professors to do good research. How come the institute has become a one-man show for you, Su Mei?"
“Because I decided to donate this money to the institute, I naturally have the right to decide how it is used.
The funds have not yet been transferred to the institute's account. If Professor Lu has any opinion, I can donate them to other institutions.
Anyway, there are many areas where we need to spend money for national construction, so I would like to ask for less benefits and work harder for the research institute." Su Mei looked at Lu Aoxiong calmly, neither humble nor arrogant.
Lu Aoxiong was immediately furious: "Su Mei, are you threatening me?"
"Unfair." Su Mei shook her head, "I donated this money to the institute because my eyes told me that the institute needed such a sum of money to distribute, and there was nothing wrong with my distribution.
If Professor Lu thinks my idea is wrong, then it means I am wrong. The institute may not need the money, and it is reasonable for me to donate it to others. "
What Su Mei meant was that if Lu Aoxiong wanted to interfere with the use of this fund, Su Mei would withdraw the allocation of this fund at any time.
That's a full 70 million.
With such a huge amount of funds, how many people present here are willing to watch such a large amount of money flow to other institutions?
So there was no need for Su Mei to incite, and a large number of people stood up to support Su Mei's proposal.
Only a few people who were allies of the Lu family stood up to oppose Su Mei's dictatorship.
Lu Aoxiong lost the argument and was so angry that his tie was slightly askew.
Originally, he did not intend to use the most inferior method to deal with Su Mei, but in a fit of rage, he finally resorted to his old tricks and interrogated Su Mei:
"Since the drug developed by Yanda is so good, why did you sell it for only 100 million yuan? What's your intention?"
