Chapter 313: Those who should be fired should be fired The continuous phone calls interrupted Lu Shan's thoughts. It was the first time he was so angry. It would be fine to talk about some serious business on the phone, but in the end all the calls were about the 40 positions in the research institute. You can ask for a job! Just sign up for the assessment! Even if you want to use a backdoor, you have to wait until after the assessment before you can find a backdoor for yourself, okay? No! What kind of behavior is it to greet someone before the assessment? Is this to take a backdoor or to teach me how to do things? Why do these people have this habit of doing things? Lu Shan thought about it and became even angrier. The only explanation was that these people were used to doing things this way. They have long been accustomed to ignoring the process and doing things according to their own ideas. What is the process, what are the rules of the game, those are things that the strong assign to the weak. They used to inform each other before the exam, so they plan to do the same this time. But they were wrong. What Lu Shan needed was someone who could really get things done. Even if his ability was mediocre, at least he had to have good character.
Not everyone in Lu Shan's team is gifted, but everyone can contribute to their greatest potential. This shows the importance of character. Moreover, the team really needs this kind of healthy character atmosphere. Otherwise, what positive energy would such a team have? The people who called were becoming more and more sophisticated, and Liang Wenping's brain had long since been unable to receive any signals. He had been working hard at the research institute and only knew a few people. I have no idea about the messy relationships within the institute and who is behind them. Only those who are "well-informed about current affairs" might know. Liang Wenping didn’t even know the relationship between these people, let alone Lu Shan. Lu Shan blocked the phone with a program. From now on, no one can call Lu Shan except the numbers that Lu Shan actively requested to add in person. If I can't get through to Lu Shan on the phone, I'll have to fight him in hand-to-hand combat. There are always cars waiting around where Lu Shan works, and as soon as he gets off work he can see someone coming up to him with a smile on his face to talk about something. Lu Shan was completely speechless and simply hid in the natural science laboratory to attend classes. During the three days before the assessment, he would never step out of the school! In order to ensure that he would not be disturbed, Lu Shan also informed Jiangzhou University and asked the school to strengthen the review of entry and exit, and he would provide free support for intelligent monitoring security systems. When Zhu Yajie heard this, he realized that Lu Shan was really being forced into a vicious situation. Come to think of it, even Zhu Yajie has been harassed by phone calls all the time. Zhu Yajie is not the only bachelor in Lushan. He has too many social connections to deal with, so just ignore them. Zhu Yajie was involved in too many "cause and effect" cases. Some of his old leaders, old colleagues, and old friends were somehow involved and asked to plead for someone. Zhu Yajie could understand the purpose of these people, which was to preserve an identity and use it as a stepping stone for the future. More importantly, Lu Shan is in charge of the New Jiangzhou Materials Research Institute, which is more likely to achieve results than any other research institute. In this case, you have to find a way to stay and curry favor with the powerful. It will be easier to rise to the top if you have achievements. However, for Lu Shan's sake, Zhu Yajie still increased the supervision of people entering and leaving the campus. Anyway, he had long felt that Lu Shan's safety needed to be taken seriously.
On the day of the assessment, for some unknown reason, there were obviously more people in the institute than those who registered. "These people all want to see who has passed the exam." Liang Wenping said in a low voice, and Lu Shan nodded. Then the assessment began. There was no written test, only interviews. The questions asked are all quite professional, so if you don’t answer them well it’s not the end of you. Lu Shan would also ask some logical and conceptual questions to see if this person had any research ideas. But some things have rigid requirements. To do scientific research, you must at least have a good basic knowledge. It is certainly possible to look up information, but how long will it take? After being asked this question, many people looked ashamed, as they had been working in research institutes for too many years and had long since forgotten their professional knowledge. Each person only chatted for three or two minutes before it was their turn. Lu Shan scored the people in the free time they came in so that he knew everyone's situation. In less than an hour and a half, everyone had been examined by Lu Shan. Lu Shan was greatly disappointed. For the 7 scientific research positions and the 2 administrative positions, only people and people were barely qualified. Liang Wenping, who was working as an assistant at the door, also sighed slightly. Anyone with some skills had already been brought into the factory by him, so there weren't so many talented people left. "It's better to have fewer people than to have too many. Let's just use these few people." Lu Shan was really impressed. The administrative staff didn't even know how to use computer spreadsheets. How could they do administration? They didn't even know how to use some slightly more complicated applications. What made Lu Shan even more speechless was that you don’t know how to use it. There is still Coco Assistant, but I didn’t expect that you can’t even describe it clearly. Then you’d better stay at home. Lu Shan announced the list of admitted people on the spot, and the rest of the people had to leave. As soon as the list was announced, it immediately caused an uproar and people outside were in an uproar. "What? Didn't they say there were 9 positions? They only hired and then stopped. That's too much!" "What about the remaining positions? Will they be left vacant?" "It's so humiliating! They would rather leave us with nothing than give us a chance! Damn it! You must give me an explanation today!" Faced with the surging crowd, Liang Wenping was a little at a loss. Lu Shan walked into the hall calmly and spoke while standing on a stool. "What are you arguing about?" The voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and it instantly took control of the situation. "Why don't you recruit people? There are obviously not enough people!" someone shouted, and the others looked angry. "This is a research institute. What we need are people who do research. If the qualifications are not suitable, we will naturally not recruit you. If any of you who are capable have been neglected, please step forward now and I will examine you so that I won't miss out on any talent!" Lu Shan was not in a hurry. At this time, several people who had just been recruited spontaneously walked in front of Lu Shan and, together with Liang Wenping, blocked the people who were about to surround him. "Assessment? Why should you be the only one doing the assessment? I've never seen an assessment decided by just one person!" "Whether it works or not depends entirely on your mood?" "It's not fair! It's unacceptable!" The crowd was about to come up again, and at this time a few people were under great pressure, but they still stood firmly.
Lu Shan did not back down: "Then how do you assess them? Tell me so I can take it as a reference!" There was a sudden silence. Yes, how should the assessment be conducted? In the past, assessments were basically just a formality, with hello, hello, and hello from everyone. Give some people with connections an excellent rating and then push them to the front for publicity, and give the people who work to a qualified rating to keep their jobs. What scientific and professional issues, I have never heard of or seen before. "If you have nothing to do, move aside. Everyone has their own things to do." Lu Shan waved his hand and asked the crowd to move aside. Someone in the crowd shouted, "Don't be complacent! We will report it to the higher authorities and sue you for violating the recruitment principles." "That's right, just wait!" Lu Shan ignored them and turned around to announce, "That one is unqualified and will be removed from the admission list." This reversal left not only the two people confused, but even the onlookers confused. What the hell is this plot? There was almost a question mark on Liang Wenping's face. "When the team faces difficulties, instead of working together to solve them, they hide aside and watch the show. This is bad character and will be eliminated. Only 7 people will be admitted today!" "Those two people in administration, if they are both laid off..." "Go out and recruit more college students. I have already given opportunities to the old employees of the institute. If they don't cherish it, there is nothing we can do." Lu Shan said and left. Some people at the scene began to gloat and laugh at them for missing the opportunity. Some even directly invited them to complain about Lu Shan together. The scene was like a wonderful Ukiyo-e. Lu Shan walked out of the scene where the farce happened, shook his head and got into the car. He really couldn't stand staying in this crappy place. Why are the two administrative staff hiding in the back? It's just that I've been here for too long, and I'm used to the way things are done here, so I'm trying to protect myself. What happened next? The sense of justice and righteousness was gone. Furthermore, there is only the concept of mountain here, and there is no concept of team at all. It is difficult for them to break down barriers and work together with temporary team members. So Lu Shan simply looked for college graduates, and whoever understood the subject could do the administration, regardless of whether they were from a liberal arts or science background. As soon as he complained, what Lu Shan did was reported directly to Yanjing, shocking all parties. Xia Guangming nodded in approval: "You are very courageous! There are only 7 people left in the research institute with more than people. This shows how ridiculous these people are. How much money we have to waste for every little progress we make in science and technology." Is it useful to complain? It is useless. Even the relevant departments support Lu Shan. It is useless to complain. Lu Shan saw the plan of the relevant departments a few days ago and said directly: "For the technology given to the country, the profit does not need to be too high, just a little profit is enough, change the plan here." This awareness has made the relevant departments respect Lu Shan even more. What they didn't know was that Lu Shan didn't care about profit at all, but the conveniences and equipment provided by the country when doing experiments for the country were much more useful than the obvious profits. How was the matter finally resolved? Some people were eventually accepted by units within other systems, which meant that they would naturally have fewer opportunities than others in the future and could only barely retain their identities. Another group of people who have social connections go out to do business directly, and are able to get orders by relying on their previous connections in the system. Another group of people simply retire and no longer get involved in this matter. Since they have no hope of advancement and they have reached a certain age, they just stop trying.
Lu Shan does not have the power to fire regular employees. Those who have worked in the system for more than ten years are considered long-term employees. Lu Shan only has the power to fire so-called temporary workers, who account for half of the total. Don't underestimate temporary workers. Most people cannot do this kind of positions. They also have backgrounds and stay in the company to wait for an opportunity to become regular employees. So many people went to other units to work as temporary workers. This is a real world, and there is always a way out if you have connections. This is why Lu Shan is not worried about this group of people. After Liang Wenping's organization, Jiangzhou Materials Research Institute managed to get 20 people and basically started to operate normally. Only then was Lu Shan able to basically build the structure. However, some of them were unable to do their work, so Lu Shan gathered them in an office at the security guard station, paid them a salary, left them there, and set up a work and rest system. Anyone who violated the rules would be fired reasonably. The functions of the institute have been streamlined a lot to improve efficiency, and the logistics are very streamlined, with only three or five people, who are mainly responsible for logistics, finance, and document sending and receiving. If you are too busy, let Ze Meng take charge of it. Anyway, the graphene project is under Ze Meng's responsibility, so it seems normal for him to do some work. Although the graphene project belongs to the Zemeng Research Institute, its business is still linked to the institute. Therefore, based on the actual situation, the research institute was divided into three parts, and the relationship with other enterprises in Lushan was basically clear. One is the scientific research team. There is only one scientific research team, and concentrating resources to get things done is Lu Shan’s way of doing things. Our own scientific research capabilities are weak, so where do so many people come from to carry out several projects? With so few people, they should give priority to handling the project of the relevant department. They are so anxious that they are almost fuming, and most of them are probably drooling with envy. It may sound a bit harsh to say this, but it is the truth. After so many years of setting up the project, there has been no progress at all. It is only natural that the relevant departments are more eager to see the project results when they suddenly learned that Lu Shan had made a major fundamental breakthrough. There are two small teams under the external window, one of which is a scientific research counterpart office specifically for Lushan’s internal companies, that is, research in the private sector. Lu Shan is in charge of this part of the research, converting it into market results to make money, or applying it in other areas. Another window is the office that specifically undertakes national-related tasks. This part of the research can only be handed over to the state after it is completed, and the state has no control over what it does with it. Entering the private market or exporting weapons are both choices made by the country. However, Lu Shan does not think that there is a high probability of a collision in the private market. The armed use and the private positioning are completely different, and the difference is too great. The two departments complement each other and cannot be completely isolated. Just imagine that the country has handed over the project to Lu Shan’s research institute, which comes with a large amount of funding and equipment support. These funds naturally cannot be misappropriated, but the equipment can be used. As long as priority is given to researching national projects, who will care about this when they are free? To be precise, Lu Shan would use these devices in his own business openly, and the relevant departments would not say anything if they saw it. Besides, are the devices supported by the above necessarily completely suitable? Not necessarily, the equipment within Lushan Enterprise may also be used.
In fact, when the higher-ups approached Lu Shan, they had already "taken into account" Lu Shan's equipment and transformation technology. The "culprit" of this incident is Xia Guangming. In order to protect Lu Shan, he truthfully reflected Lu Shan's value and advantages. When the relevant departments heard about such a good thing, they handed over the research institute to Lu Shan. Lu Shan integrated the research institute and decided to start over again on a new day. On the day of the restart, there were more people coming to the institute to congratulate than there were people inside the institute. The scientific department, relevant departments, Jiangzhou City, and Jiangzhou University all came to congratulate. Originally, some people were planning to cause trouble on the opening day, demanding jobs and benefits from old employees. However, before they could organize themselves, they saw people from relevant departments getting out of the car and shaking hands with Lu Shan. They were so scared that they all ran away in shame.
