Chapter 405: Three parties fight again, re-negotiate treatment

Although the valuations of Xiaomi and Meituan are growing very fast, Xu Qingshan doesn’t care much about it. After all, his shares are only worth about 10 billion yuan.

Today his total assets far exceed this figure.

If Xiaomi and Meituan both become billion-level companies in the future and his personal shares can exceed 10 billion, he might be excited.

But what is more important now is my achievements in scientific research.

He went to the Longjiang base as scheduled the next day, and under the leadership of Qiu Jing, he inspected the start-up companies currently stationed in the Longjiang base.

Xu Qingshan basically did not have any deep impression of these companies. It seemed that none of them were the kind of top companies that would later become famous around the world, or at least be featured in those technology and economic newspapers that could send people to prison.

However, Xu Qingshan still discovered several particularly promising technology companies with his own vision.

After asking Qiu Jing to focus on this, he returned to Qingshan Capital’s office to check this year’s mid-year report.

It has to be said that Qiu Jing is indeed a very capable and reassuring investment manager. In just half a year, Qiu Jing has managed to increase Qingshan Capital’s profits by more than 70% compared to the initial stage of the fund’s establishment. Xu Qingshan’s total personal assets are also truly approaching the billion mark.

Of course, this total asset does not represent liquid funds, but includes the conversion of the market value of shares of all companies held by Xu Qingshan. As for companies like Xinlu Investment that have complex shareholding relationships and have not been valued, Qiu Jing has its own value assessment system and can give a relatively reasonable valuation.

You have to know that the overall environment this year is not good.

All the funds raised by the public on the market have failed. Compared with the profits in 2009, the money earned by the fund industry for investors in 2010 was a drop in the bucket.

In Qiu Jing’s analysis of other funds in the market, there are 729 funds in Huaxia, and the total profit in the first half of 2010 did not exceed 50 billion yuan, while the profit of the fund industry reached 2009 billion yuan in 9102.5. Among them, stock funds became the only type of fund that lost money, eroding most of the profits of the fund industry, and 300 stock funds lost more than 200 billion yuan in total.

In this environment of underdeveloped capital market, Qiu Jing’s small and medium-sized investments were almost always successful, which was what impressed Xu Qingshan the most.

With Sister Jing’s investment level, even if she had left Sequoia and hadn’t met me, she would have achieved great things in the future.

Xu Qingshan thought so.

However, he also saw Qiu Jing’s management expenses. People showed him the mid-year report and waited for his approval, but they were waiting for this bonus.

Qiu Jing has independently divided out Xu Qingshan’s own operations. Her management expenses mainly come from the market value growth and profitability of the companies she invested in. From the management dividend alone, Qiu Jing alone can get more than 2400 million, not to mention her salary.

“Sister Jing, with your income, even if you are the president of a listed company, the salary of those working emperors is not as high as yours, right?”

Xu Qingshan was amazed.

“If this continues steadily, we can reach a small profit target in two years.”

“Small goal?”

Qiu Jing immediately understood that the small goal Xu Qingshan mentioned should be one hundred million. She blinked her beautiful eyes and rolled her eyes at Xu Qingshan.

“No matter how high my income is, isn’t it still working for you? Don’t laugh at me. If I work hard for another two years and make some money, it will be a small goal in your eyes.”

Xu Qingshan touched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

I said it casually, but Sister Jing misunderstood it.

“Okay, it’s approved. You can arrange the rest. Keep up the good work. I’ll continue my research.”

Xu Qingshan closed the cover of the mid-year report, threw the document on the table, stood up and left.

“Good luck to you, and take care~”

Qiu Jing received the mid-year dividend, a large sum of money, and was very happy. She became much more lively and even joked with Xu Qingshan and made a gesture of wiping her sleeves and knees, which made Xu Qingshan roll his eyes.

Xu Qingshan drove his old Maybach back to Yandongyuan. It was the start of the school year these days and Jiang Huanxi and Tong Tong were very busy. He was the only one in the family who had time to cook or order food, otherwise they had to eat in the cafeteria.

How could he bear to let his two daughters eat in the cafeteria, so he naturally went home and asked the restaurant he was familiar with to deliver the food to them.

However, he didn’t know that at the same time, a heated debate was being held because of him at Beijing University, Huaqing University, and Huazhong University of Science and Technology Center.

Jingcheng University, conference room.

If there were students from various colleges of Capital University here, they would certainly be able to recognize that those sitting in this conference room are the deans and secretaries of various colleges of Capital University, as well as school-level leaders who have decision-making power.

Looking at this lineup, if you don’t know, you might think that Jingcheng University is going to hold a general meeting to change its leadership.

“This is the current situation. You can all express your opinions, but I would like to state my views here first. I support improving Xu Qingshan’s salary and re-negotiating his salary situation. We should provide our resources in accordance with the highest standards for international talent introduction.”

Zhou Qifeng sat at the top, his fingers on his workbook, his expression serious. He was not relaxed as he usually was when chatting with Xu Qingshan. He put forward his ideas very seriously.

This meeting was held after he had a chat with Tian Gang, learned in detail about Xu Qingshan’s actual performance at the International Congress of Mathematicians and Tian Gang’s views, and then contacted all the academicians of the Academy of Mathematics, and finally came up with the result of discussion.

Zhou Qifeng suggested “don’t wait passively, take the initiative”.

Don’t wait until Huaqing University and Huazhong University of Science and Technology come with new treatment and drag Xu Qingshan away, and then passively offer new treatment to be equal to them.

That would only erode Xu Qingshan’s feelings for Jingcheng University.

If we take the initiative and propose to renegotiate the treatment, Xu Qingshan will have a deeper identification with Capital University.

“I object.”

Vice President Qian, who was sitting on the other side, raised his hand and frowned as he spoke. Everyone’s eyes were focused on him.

Vice President Qian is mainly in charge of resource connection in the financial and economic fields. The resources in his hands affect several top colleges of Beijing University. If Beijing University only provides Xu Jinshan with the treatment of a researcher as before, even if he is made an academic leader, it is only controlling the resources within the controllable range of the School of Mathematics.

But now that Principal Zhou is proposing to renegotiate the salary, it is highly likely that the resource pie of Beijing University will be redistributed.

The most resource-intensive departments of Capital University are naturally its flagship colleges such as finance, economics, management, and law. The influence of Capital University in these fields even far exceeds that of science and engineering disciplines in the domestic academic circles.

Although it is understandable that Vice President Qian is unwilling to do so, if we look at it from the perspective of Beijing University’s overall reputation and academic strength, he seems to lack vision.

“Tell me why.”

Zhou Qifeng looked calmly at Vice President Qian.

“First of all, I have to state that this is not my personal opinion on Xu Qingshan, nor is it my opinion on the allocation of resources.”

Vice President Qian naturally felt uncomfortable facing so many strange looks from his colleagues in the conference room.

But he had his own legitimate reasons. “First, the contract Xu Qingshan signed with us has a fixed service period. If he breaches the contract, we can take legal action.”

“Don’t mention it. Even if we can’t keep Xu Qingshan, we absolutely cannot have a conflict with him over the contract issue and ruin the relationship between the school and him.”

Zhou Qifeng had a cold face and interrupted Vice Principal Qian directly.

“Forehead”

Vice President Qian was speechless, but after a pause, he continued.

“Okay, secondly, Xu Qingshan has already completed a major conjecture. According to our investigation, in the academic career of most scholars in the academic field, there is a long cooling-off period after a major conjecture is completed. If we provide a salary that exceeds the standard, it is very likely that the input-output ratio will be extremely low.”

“Don’t mention this. Have you ever seen a 19-year-old Fields Medal winner? Or have you ever seen a 19-year-old genius who can prove a world-class conjecture? Genius cannot be judged by common sense. He is far more talented than you think.”

Zhou Qifeng interrupted Vice Principal Qian again, and Vice Principal Qian almost choked on his own saliva.

Tian Gang, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly interrupted with a dark face.

“Vice President Qian, don’t use your brain full of investment rate of return to measure the starry sky of our mathematics. Xu Qingshan’s ability to complete the twin prime conjecture and the Riemann hypothesis in succession, as well as various academic outputs in between, has already proved his scientific research productivity.”

Vice Principal Qian was so devastated by Tian Gang’s words that he just recovered, but he felt uneasy again.

But Tian Gang is an academician, and Vice President Qian is not, so he endured it.

“Okay, let me mention the most important point.”

Vice President Qian is preparing to drop a big bomb.

“Does anyone here know what Xu Qingshan did outside of school?”

Everyone present frowned. Even Zhou Qifeng and Tian Gang could not guess what Vice President Qian wanted to say.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Vice Principal Qian, who had just been choked several times in a row, finally smiled. It was a smile that only he knew how to smile.

“Did you know that Xu Qingshan has his own investment fund? It’s called Qingshan Capital, and it has several companies under it. And there’s also a construction company and a real estate company far away in Lu Island. Do you know what project this construction company is currently working on?”

Vice Principal Qian’s face turned cold and he asked loudly.

Zhou Qifeng neither nodded nor shook his head, but just looked quietly at Vice Principal Qian who stood up with a stern face.

No one answered him, so he asked and answered his own questions.

“He’s building a school, he’s building a university!”

Vice President Qian’s voice echoed throughout the entire conference room, almost blowing the ceiling off.

“No matter what treatment you want to give him, no matter what resources you want to give him, he will leave in the end! It’s not Huaqing or Huake, he has to leave on his own, otherwise there is no need for him to build a university for himself!”

“Don’t you understand yet? Don’t you understand yet?!”

Vice Principal Qian slammed the table so hard that his neck became thick and his face turned red.

He couldn’t tolerate the school giving away so many resources that could never be taken back to someone who was destined to leave.

“and then?”

Zhou Qifeng spoke, his voice still calm, not affected by Vice Principal Qian at all.

“What do you want to say?”

Vice President Qian’s arrogance suddenly cooled, and he looked at Zhou Qifeng in disbelief.

He had worked with Lao Zhou for quite some time and had some understanding of Lao Zhou. Zhou Qifeng’s words at this moment meant that he actually knew what Xu Qingshan was doing, but he still held this meeting and put forward his own ideas.

“you?”

Vice President Qian was speechless.

“He wants to see his university. He will leave eventually. Does that mean we can’t give him this treatment?”

Zhou Qifeng narrowed his eyes and asked in a steady voice.

“How many years does it take to build a university? Don’t you have an idea? At least during this period of time, Xu Qingshan will still stay in our Beijing University. Even if he wants to leave one day and go to his own university, as long as he stays in Beijing University before he leaves, he will be a Beijing University student.”

“Even if he goes to his own university, can’t he work part-time at our Beijing University?”

“This is the respect we should have for a world-class scholar, even if he is only 19 years old.”

“Besides, do you know how many international resources and cooperation opportunities Xu Qingshan has brought to our Institute of Information Science and Technology’s Information Science Center? If someone like him sets up his own university in the future, won’t he give priority to recruiting talents and seeking cooperation from our Beijing University?”

“If you want to calculate, you can’t just calculate the small piece of land in front of you. You have to calculate the next ten, twenty, fifty, or one hundred years. Why am I the president of Beijing University now? Think about it carefully.”

“If Xu Qingshan is poached by Huaqing and Huake, then our friendship with Xu Qingshan will be replaced, and the opportunity for cooperation will not be in our hands. Besides, let’s talk about it.”

Zhou Qifeng glanced at the whole audience, exuding his domineering attitude and speaking loudly.

“We have so many academicians at Kyoto University. We can afford to support him with academician-level treatment! Even if we want to build a research center for him, we have the capital!”

Vice Principal Qian turned pale and sat down.

He was not stunned because his opinion was criticized by Zhou Qifeng, but because he found that what Zhou Qifeng said was actually right.

He sat in his seat in autism, while Zhou Qifeng pointed at the workbook in front of him with his finger again.

“The more we invest in Xu Qingshan, and the more content we turn into reality, the more he will be concerned about us in the future. We have worked hard to train him from scratch, and we cannot let him be tainted by anything from outside, such as Huaqing and Huake. He will definitely become one of the souls of our university in the future.”

“And now I have received news that Huaqing and the Huake Center have been holding internal meetings these past two days. They haven’t had any major events recently, so it must be about trying to snatch Xu Qingshan.”

“If it were just normal scholars, for various reasons, everyone would stick to the rules and not tear each other apart. But Xu Qingshan is different. He has too much influence at home and abroad now. His national and international recognition is no less than that of Mr. Hua back then. If we give it up, we will give up the next ten years! Huaqing will no longer be embarrassed, and Huake Institute will not be proud of its status.”

“Now, let me ask again. Our Jingcheng University needs to give Xu Qingshan a new salary contract.”

“Who is in favor and who is against?”
