Chapter 407 Huaqing Huake, Big Brother and Second Brother

“Good boy, have a baby soon!”

“Not bad, not bad. If you need anything, just contact us. Write down the number.”

“Why don’t you become a director of the Huaxia Mathematical Society this year? I’ll be your secretary general next year.”

A group of old men surrounded Xu Qingshan and started to pull him.

Right after Xu Qingshan signed the contract, these little old guys didn’t behave like academicians at all. They came over one after another, laughing all over, touching things here and there, and surrounded Xu Qingshan as if they were looking at their own newborn grandson.

“Okay, everyone, now that everything is arranged, go do what needs to be done.”

Zhou Qifeng sorted out the contracts in his hands with satisfaction, and he carefully put them into the file bag.

“Tsk, if you need someone, go forward, if you don’t need someone, go backward. This Xiao Zhou is a piece of shit.”

“That’s right, just now it was the old man and the big boss, now it’s everyone.”

“We’ll gather on our own later, without him.”

The old men poked Zhou Qifeng’s spine one after another, expressing their dissatisfaction.

How could their communication with Xu Qingshan be interrupted by this guy’s noise?
Leaving Zhou Qifeng alone sorting out the contracts, the old men surrounded Xu Qingshan and were about to leave the auditorium.

“Hey! Hey! Take me with you! Wait for me, I’ll put this away and take it to the safe upstairs. Don’t leave so fast!”

Zhou Qifeng’s voice was heard behind him, but no one paid any attention to him.

Xu Qingshan wanted to wait for him, but was escorted out by a group of old men.

as predicted.

On the night when Xu Qingshan signed the new contract with Jingcheng University, Qiu Yong came uninvited with Huaqing President Gu.

Xu Qingshan was quite surprised when he opened the door.

“Principal Gu, Dean Qiu, are you guys here to have a free meal during dinner time?”

Xu Qingshan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at Qiu Yong, who was holding a glass of wine in his left hand and a duck in his right hand, and Gu Binglin, who was so shameless that he remained calm even under Xu Qingshan’s gaze.

“That’s right. We don’t have 82 Lafite, but we have 82 Moutai for you.”

Principal Gu said with a half-smile, and Qiu Yong behind him immediately understood and raised the bag in his hand.

“You two, come in.”

Xu Qingshan stepped aside.

Even though he knew clearly why the two came, he still let them in. They were all guests and they had a acquaintance, even though they did not inform him in advance.

Seeing that Xu Qingshan was willing, Principal Gu smiled even more. He rubbed his hands excitedly and walked into Xu Qingshan’s house with the briefcase in his hand.

“My two kids haven’t come back from get out of class yet. I’ll order some food to come home and we’ll eat at home tonight.”

Xu Qingshan said as he started to boil water.

Although he lived in the capital, he still placed a tea table and tea sets commonly used in southern Fujian in the living room to entertain guests.

“We’d better not disturb your family from having dinner, Qingshan. We’re here this time to bring you good news.”

Gu Binglin’s eyes were almost narrowed into slits, and his old face was bright and shining.

He didn’t say much and directly opened the briefcase in his hand. Qiu Yong was sitting next to him with an excited look on his face. Both of them didn’t look normal. Xu Qingshan understood something in his mind.

“Here, take a look at this.”

Principal Gu really took out a thick contract and handed it to Xu Qingshan.

“Qiu Yong found me a few days after you came back. We discussed it several times and finally held a five-day school affairs meeting to finalize this contract, which is absolutely the ceiling level of salary in our country. Look, even some ordinary academicians in your Beijing University may not be as well paid as our contract.”

Gu Binglin was very confident this time.

He didn’t sneak around to dig into people’s hearts at all, and even spoke.

“You don’t have to worry about the contract you signed with Beijing University. Don’t worry, we at Huaqing will pay the full amount of liquidated damages to Beijing University. We at Huaqing will also cover all the benefits and welfare you have used.”

Xu Qingshan took the contract, opened it and took a look, raising his eyebrows.

Gu Binglin really didn’t lie.

In this contract, the terms and benefits were not much different from those offered by Peking University, and the basic salary exceeded 300 million a year. It was even promised that the mathematics center recently established by Huaqing, which was originally prepared for Mr. Qiu, would invite Xu Qingshan to serve as deputy director, second only to Mr. Qiu.

Moreover, if Xu Qingshan is willing, he can directly serve as the vice dean of the School of Science and write up the application plan for the Young Elite Scientists, Changjiang Scholars, and Academician fellowships.

To some extent, this is indeed the ceiling salary contract for domestic universities.

You have to know that it was only 2010, and money was still quite valuable.

The 300 million yuan would allow Xu Qingshan to buy a house in Beijing in a year, not to mention various other allowances and subsidies.

In terms of housing, Hua Qing even gave Xu Qingshan a direct quota, allowing him to choose a villa in a designated community and obtain permanent use rights.

The reason why Qiu Yong was so excited was that during the meeting, he had been arguing with others so much that he almost died.

Gu Binglin is full of confidence.

Over the years, his plans have basically never failed, and he knows Zhou Qifeng even better.

Capital University must be too busy celebrating now, and no one has realized the problem with Xu Qingshan’s original contract. In addition, Capital University has already spent a lot of resources and connections to handle Xu Qingshan’s original contract. If it has to go through this twice in a short period of time, the price Capital University will have to pay is too high.

He didn’t think Zhou Qifeng had the courage to make other colleges bleed from him.

Unfortunately, he miscalculated.

“The salary is indeed very good, but I’m sorry, Principal Gu and Dean Qiu, thank you very much for your recognition, but I have already signed a new contract with Beijing University.”

“Have you signed a new contract?!”

Gu Binglin, who was always confident, didn’t even have time to smile at this time and asked in shock.

“Yes, the terms and conditions we signed yesterday are actually not much different from this one.”

Xu Qingshan did not tell Gu Binglin about Peking University’s creative “shareholding” contract. It would be inappropriate to leak this thing out before it was officially disclosed.

“Kyoto University is sincere enough to me. Personally, I feel that it is not appropriate to break the contract when the conditions are similar.”

Xu Qingshan said tactfully.

Qiu Yong’s expression was dull, and his excitement and anticipation suddenly dropped to freezing point. He didn’t know what to say.

However, after being shocked for a moment, Gu Binglin suddenly laughed and shook his head.

“It seems that I underestimated Lao Zhou. He is really courageous. OK, if we have any plans for cooperation in the future, please consider Huaqing first.”

Gu Binglin stood up directly. He could afford to play, in this battle for Xu Qingshan, if he lost, he lost.

He was just impressed that Jingcheng University could be so united at a time when people should normally be celebrating and relaxing their vigilance, and that Lao Zhou’s execution ability was so strong that he could make up his mind and provide such a level of treatment.

You have to know that the meeting at Huaqing was definitely started early enough. When Xu Qingshan was still on the plane, Gu Binglin had already started preparing the meeting procedures.

After arguing for five days, we finally succeeded.

It seems that Zhou Qifeng took only three days at most to solve all the obstacles.

I used to think that Qiu Yong and his team failed to win over Xu Qingshan because their skills were not good enough.

Now it seems that Kyoto University is really thinking about you every minute and every second, and this is more than just focusing on your training.

Gu Binglin recalled that during the meeting a few days ago, someone mentioned that Xu Qingshan’s status in Beijing University was the crown prince of Beijing University. Now look, how can this be called a crown prince? This is the emperor! He is treated like a real father!
Xu Qingshan carried the things and saw them off, but Gu Binglin just waved his hand.

“There’s no reason to take back gifts that come to your door. Qingshan, if we didn’t succeed this time, it’s not because we don’t value you. If there’s a chance in the future, you must cooperate with us more, okay?”

“Of course. There will be many projects that require cooperation with Huaqing in the future.”

Xu Qingshan smiled.

“After all, I am still a professor at Huaqing University.”

“If you hadn’t mentioned this, I would have almost forgotten it.”

Gu Binglin stood at the door and clapped his hands.

“Just wait. I’ll send you a new contract in a few days. The contract for the distinguished professor needs to be revised. The salary will be increased and the title of honorary professor will be added. I’ll write the rest in the contract.”

When Gu Binglin thought about the relationship between his family and Xu Qingshan, he was not so unhappy for a moment.

After sending the two old men away, Xu Qingshan put the 82 Maotai away at home. Looking at the large portion of roast duck on the table, he thought for a moment.

“It seems like there’s no need to call it anything anymore, right?”

Before he could put the plate on the table, the door opened again.

“Qingshan, I just met Dean Qiu from Huaqing and an old man downstairs. They should be coming to our house, right?”

It was Jiang Huanxi who came back first.

Tong Tong and other freshmen will have to attend a freshman safety awareness meeting, and after the meeting they will need to go back to the classroom to organize a class meeting, so they probably won’t be back too early.

“Yes, that old man is the principal of Huaqing next door.”

Xu Qingshan felt the temperature of the roast duck. It was hot, but if he waited for Tong Tong to come back, he would probably have to heat it up in the microwave again.

“Principal Huaqing?”

Jiang Huanxi was stunned for a moment, then came over. Xu Qingshan picked up a piece of duck meat and fed it into her mouth.

“Well, why is Principal Huaqing here? Are you here to poach me?”

“Smart, you guessed it right. I’ll give you another slice as a reward.”

Xu Qingshan stuffed another piece of duck meat into his daughter’s mouth. Her little cheeks were bulging as she chewed it.

“Then did you agree?”

Jiang Huanxi swallowed the duck meat and refused Xu Qingshan’s third attempt to feed him. She took a piece of dough, wrapped it with the shredded green onions and garlic prepared by the store, and stuffed it into Xu Qingshan’s mouth.

“Hmm, you didn’t wash your hands. The garlic smell is a bit strong. I didn’t agree. I signed with our Beijing University yesterday.”

“That’s good, that’s good.”

Jiang Huanxi breathed a sigh of relief and obediently went into the kitchen to wash his hands.

Xu Qingshan knew what she was thinking and shook his head helplessly.

The Xu family did get two bottles of good wine and a roast duck for free, but over at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, everyone was not in such a good mood.

The meeting place at Huazhong University of Science and Technology is not far from Huaqing University and Peking University. This time, senior academicians from several places were also invited to the meeting. It was quite difficult for them just to get the important people together.

At this time, the conference room was filled with noise and saliva flying everywhere.

They had just started the salary process, and some people were still discussing whether they should spend such a huge amount of money to compete with Peking University for Xu Qingshan.

After all, the situation at Huazhong University of Science and Technology is quite different from that at Tsinghua University and Peking University.

The latter two top 0 universities have stronger cohesion. If we really talk about overall strength, the larger Huazhong University of Science and Technology is not inferior to Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Tsinghua University and Peking University, but its size is purely bloated, and it is more like a vassal state in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

And if Xu Qingshan wants to join Huazhong University of Science and Technology, then all aspects involved will become even more complicated.

Just when a group of old men were still arguing.

Vice President Bai, who was sitting in the middle, suddenly shouted.

“Stop making noise! ​​Be quiet! Be quiet!”

The old men gradually quieted down.

We still have to listen to what Emperor Zhou says, otherwise what will we do if the funding for our own research institute is secretly withheld next year?
Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens, Vice Dean Bai should be able to take over Dean Lu’s position next year. Everyone still respects him.

“There’s no need to argue anymore. Old Gu sent me news that Xu Qingshan has already signed a new contract with Beijing University. There’s no point in us arguing now.”

Bai Chunli waved his hands dejectedly and leaned back in his chair helplessly.

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn’t figure it out. Looking at the group of old men in front of him who had really quieted down and looked at each other in surprise, Bai Chunli’s mouth twitched and he let out a long sigh.

Is it really difficult to compete for such talents in the current situation of Huazhong University of Science and Technology?

Bai Chunli had some ideas in his mind, but they were just prototypes and not perfect.

For the first time, he deeply felt the inconvenience of this special situation. Huaqing and Peking University were able to make the final decision directly. Their meeting was just the beginning. By the time they got everyone together, everyone had signed.

And even if they gather people and hold a meeting early, they still have to report it and get approval before they can look for people.

Ugh.
Perhaps HUST can no longer just have a graduate school, nor can it just be assigned to various research institutes across the country. It must have its own more complete and comprehensive campus, open up undergraduate admissions, and have the qualifications to make independent decisions like Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Peking University. Only then will it have a chance, right?

Xu Qingshan might never have imagined that his own affairs would help the leaders of HUST figure things out earlier and promote the establishment of HUST University more actively.

After all, if Huazhong University of Science and Technology wants to run Huazhong University of Science and Technology University, it only needs to do simple operations, but when he eats roast duck, he needs to consider many things, such as how many slices of duck meat to use, how much sauce to dip, and who to feed first.

After resting for another two days, Xu Qingshan was finally able to return to work as usual.

Although the enthusiasm at home and abroad has not yet subsided, the emotions of students on campus have stabilized somewhat, and Xu Qingshan can return to his laboratory to guide researchers and students to continue their work.

Of course, he also needs to start accepting the various benefits and certificates arranged for him by Beijing University.

It turns out that sometimes even collecting rewards can be so tiring.
