"Director Lin?"
"Yes, it’s , here to see Old Zhou."
Seeing soone co to the rescue, Lin Zhenhua quickly followed the cue and said to Xu Yun:
"Xiaoxu, this is Old Zhou’s wife, Teacher Huang Liping."
"Teacher Huang, this is my junior, Xu Yun from USTC."
Xu Yun quickly walked up to Huang Liping with great respect and greeted:
"Hello, Teacher Huang."
Although this was his first eting with Huang Liping, he had a very high impression of Teacher Huang.
After all, according to Lin Zhenhua’s previous introduction.
Huang Liping did not choose to abandon Zhou Shan when he was imprisoned but waited for him without any regrets for a full twelve years.
Just this alone.
Was enough to earn Xu Yun’s respect.
Then Lin Zhenhua handed the grass carp to Huang Liping for processing and turned to Zhou Shan.
He pointed his chin towards the door, hinting:
"Old Zhou, are they here to poach you again?"
Zhou Shan nodded, guiding the two to the living room sofa and said:
"It’s the third ti this month, Diablo from the comrcial departnt of Italy’s embassy in China."
"However, compared to other persuaders, Italy’s offer is indeed the most generous, I’m quite tempted."
Lin Zhenhua imdiately grew interested and curiously asked:
"What are the terms?"
Zhou Shan shrugged:
"Guaranteed immigration, signature bonus of three million euros imdiately credited, a suite in Ravello Manor, starting annual salary post-tax at one point five million, establish a nasake laboratory with no less than five million euros in annual research funding, 40% patent share." (This was the offer made to a Boss I know when the headhunter was poaching him)
Lin Zhenhua, upon hearing this, instinctively glanced at Xu Yun.
Goodness.
Such terms are basically comprehensive.
The three million euro signature bonus aside.
The post-tax annual salary of one point five million euros far exceeds the official dostic offers.
Currently, dostic academicians’ incos mainly co from two sources.
One is the basic salary plus dual academies—referring to allowances from the Science Institute and Engineering Academy, along with special national subsidies and position allowances.
This part of the inco is actually not high, totaling around nine thousand per month.
The other part is local benefits, naly introduction terms.
Currently, the highest academician treatnt in dostic universities is Zhongbei University.
The offer includes a research start-up fund of two million, settling-in allowance of one hundred thousand, annual salary of two hundred thousand, and a two hundred sixty square ters housing allocation upon joining.
The institution offering the highest treatnt is Shuangqing City Science and Technology Research Institute.
The treatnt includes a two hundred square ters house and a one-ti two million settling-in allowance, along with a start-up fund of one hundred thousand.
Apart from these.
Academicians’ earnings co from comrcial collaborations and other institutional partnerships, which are profits outside the system.
These earnings vary greatly, without a definitive standard.
High profits can amount to tens or hundreds of millions, low ones might just be a few hundred thousand to a million.
Of course.
When discussing research inco outside the system, people sotis have a peculiar mindset:
Upon hearing an academician earns tens of thousands or millions annually from research, most don’t think much of it.
So may even find this inco sowhat modest.
But upon learning that an academician earns tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.
Many feel an indescribable sense of intrigue.
In fact.
From Xu Yun’s exposure in the circle.
Many dostic academicians earn over a million annually, outside the managent sciences you can hardly find one earning less.
On the other hand.
There are not many academicians making eight figures, let alone nine.
Actually, international research inco remains superior to the dostic.
Like the earlier ntioned Ibuprofen patent.
Its inventor and patent holder Stuart Adams, while alive, earned over a billion US Dollars in dividends from Bozi Company.
Even in the academy across the sea, academicians can sign endorsent contracts directly.
For instance, DNA father Watson, before his downfall, earned over a million US Dollars yearly just from endorsing health products.
In Xu Yun’s view.
Patent revenue, as long as it’s from legitimate sources and can withstand scrutiny, shouldn’t shift perceptions due to inco scale increase.
At least this inco from painstaking research outweighs so stars’ glamour by a multitude.
As for research funding...
Currently, the exchange rate from Euro to Huaxia Coin is 7.0155.
That is to say, five million euros convert to roughly thirty-five million Huaxia Coins.
What does this an?
Currently, the dostic record for total research funding is held by academician Yang Xue Ming from Zhejiang University.
The total amount is 314.38 million Huaxia Coins, distributed across 16 projects.
Averages out to roughly 20 million per project.
The highest single project record is held by Tang Benzhong from Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
Five projects amount to 211.77 million Huaxia Coins, averaging over 40 million per project, with the highest at 84 million.
As for other so-called billion or tens of billion projects, those are nationwide long-term subordinate tasks.
These projects are split into nurous topics, with participant counts generally calculated in thousands or even tens of thousands.
Most cases involve selecting a relatively authoritative leader for overseeing work.
While the funding Italy offers Zhou Shan reaches a hefty 30 million Huaxia Coins, matching the Italian Academy of Sciences, it’s difficult to find such benefits on record from the Chinese Academy.
