“What do you think of the Frontier Society project?”

After speaking calmly, Fang Nian glanced at the porridge, picked up the teacup, lowered his eyes and blew the tea leaves.

Then he took a sip slowly.

The authentic Mingqian Longjing tastes pretty good too.

Bai Zhou was not surprised to learn that Frontier had conducted personnel due diligence for him. In fact, he had received a headhunting invitation before he graduated, and due diligence was usually conducted before such invitations were issued.

The reason why there are some doubts about white porridge is because the strictness of the cutting-edge inspection is rare.

Even political leanings and public credibility are deeply involved.

This is about digging deeper into personal character.

However, after suddenly receiving a series of information shocks, there were still not many abnormalities or surprises in Baizhou.

After listening to Fang Nian's short answer, he quickly returned to his relaxed appearance.

This is the confidence in one's ability and quality, the habit of making due diligence, and the confidence in the challenges facing the future.

This is the first time since Fang Nian got to know Baizhu that he felt what Guan Qiuhe mentioned in his observation and evaluation: ‘pride’.

Fang Nian secretly praised in his heart: ‘Knowledge can really give people a lot of confidence!’.

In fact, no matter which major a doctorate successfully graduates from, it can be proven that their research on academic issues in this professional field has reached a very strong level.

Fang Nian not only learned about Bai Zhou's master's and doctoral research directions, but also learned about the National People's Congress's doctoral research projects in the fields of economics and applied economics.

Bai Zhou's major is political economics, and he has participated in some research projects on national economics and corporate economics.

Let's put it this way, while Bai Zhou was in school, he participated in a plan that Fang Nian had specifically interfered with.

Twelve five.

The full name is: 12·5 Planning Prospective Study.

Others include: research on characteristic socialist political economics, research on capitalist economics, research on Marxist economic methodology and basic theoretical issues;

Research on basic issues in game theory, research on institutional environment and industrial development, research on changing trends in basic conditions for my country's economic growth in the next 20 years...

Wait a minute, this is just drizzle.

The reason why Fang Nian put this question at the end is because he really wanted to know Bai Zhou’s views on this aspect, including the degree of synergy between the two parties in their cutting-edge career ideals.

The last point is quite important.

If the difference is too far, Fang Nian is likely to withdraw the invitation.

After all, the Frontier Society is actually related to some of the foundation of Frontier...

Bai Zhou didn't answer Fang Nian's question immediately, but he still understood the word "priority".

After all, Bai Zhou is not the kind of person who is purely research-oriented. He is obsessed with academics, has no life experience, and has no emotional intelligence. If he is not careful, he can easily be defrauded of hundreds of thousands of high-level talents.

About three minutes later, Bai Zhou put down the teacup he was holding, changed his sitting position, and said: "It's still a short time to enter the frontier work. The opinions based on the existing known information will actually be biased."

There was no sound for many years.

It’s not surprising that Bai Zhou would say one more statement type words.

After a pause, Bai Zhou continued calmly: "In my opinion, the Frontier Society is a long-term investment project;

In the more than a month I have been working in the company's strategy department, I have a deeper understanding of the composition of the frontier department, which gave me an illusion;

The three companies in the Frontier Department: Frontier Science, Frontier Academic, and Frontier Entrepreneurship are actually developed around the Frontier Society project;

As for Frontier Angel, it should be another system that is outside;

If Frontier is viewed as a company as a whole, Frontier Angel probably serves as a source of profit, and the other three companies are all for the long-term purpose of implementing the Frontier Society project."

"Well... maybe it would be more appropriate to use words such as ideals, dreams, ambitions, and visions to describe it."

Having said this, Bai Zhou's thoughts seemed to become clearer, and he started to talk more eloquently.

“If I start from the perspective of these words, I seem to understand some cutting-edge community projects better;

At the beginning, it was piloted in Fudan, and then spread to 365 universities across the country. It has always been some kind of experiment, or it can be said that the forefront is looking forward to the internal transformation of this project;

I have seen the directory of 365 colleges and universities. Among them, there are not many normal colleges, art colleges, and pure language colleges. Only a few top-ranked universities have been included in the category of cutting-edge societies;

It does not specifically miss out on more remote areas such as the Northwest Plateau like other company platform campus clubs;

[Send red envelopes] Reading benefits are here! You have up to 888 cash red envelopes to be drawn! Follow the weixin official account [Book Friends Base Camp] to draw red envelopes!

so……

This project should not just be for a single company's talent pool."

As he said that, Bai Zhou changed the subject: "But..."

“With the expansion of the pilot, it has become increasingly unable to achieve some of the initially intended goals, and it only serves as a preliminary screening of the company’s talent reserve plan;

As far as I know, the cumulative direct investment in this project in the past year and a half has exceeded 50 million;

The additional supporting welfare entrepreneurial project fund has invested 200 million, and has undergone many adjustments;

but……

It still failed to meet some of the expectations of the company or Mr. Fang yourself."

Listening to Bai Zhou's careful consideration of words and sentences at the beginning, to the subsequent eloquent talk, and finally to the conclusion deduced at the end.

Fang Nian was still very satisfied in his heart.

Bai Zhou is one of the few people who has a thorough understanding of cutting-edge community projects that have failed to produce any results.

It's just a preliminary screening of one talent, which is a waste of so much energy.

Of course there are ideals.

However, Fang Nian just smiled slightly and was noncommittal.

"I've finished asking my questions. Is Mr. Bai Zhou willing to accept my invitation to join the front office?"

After a pause, Fang Nian added in particular: "Before joining the front office, you will sign a new labor contract and confidentiality agreement, um..."

"The confidentiality agreement is relatively strict, and the consequences of breach of contract will be very serious."

"But after joining until December 31 this year, the basic salary you can get will not change, but the additional benefits will be slightly increased."

After saying that, Fang Nian took out the second folder from the briefcase beside him and placed it on the tea table.

Bai Zhou laughed: "No problem, I'll sign."

So Fang Nian handed over the folder.

Bai Zhou quickly scanned the first new labor contract, which contained very few terms.

Declared to enjoy executive benefits,

Salary standards will be graded at the end of the year, and will be repaid at a certain proportion of the standard salary for the corresponding position based on the performance of the year.

The conditions are much more favorable than Bai Zhou imagined.

But the terms of the second confidentiality agreement were so dense that even Bai Zhi took five minutes to read them.

Regardless of the details, the liquidated damages are really high.

In the past, Wen Ye's salary was only a few million, but now Baizhu's liquidated damages under the confidentiality agreement are 36 million.

In fact, if Baizhou really breaches the contract, according to the relevant provisions in the contract law, compensation will be based on 30% of the actual loss caused, which is estimated to be more than 36 million at any rate.

After all, there is a lot of research inside Frontier that can be called confidential. If it is exposed in advance, the losses caused are not a joke, and billions of more R&D funds may be spent to make up for it inexplicably.

For example, if the previous DeskOS project had been exposed in advance, the basic authorization of some patents might have cost several times more.

After reading the agreement, Bai Zhou signed his name and said with a smile: "Mr. Fang, I have sold this to you, but I am a little curious, can such a high liquidated damages be supported by the court?"

"If we get to that point, we should only be awarded more compensation." Fang Nian smiled, "You will know after you enter the front office."

Hearing what Fang Nian said, Bai Zhou was moved in his heart, and said slightly: "Blame me, blame me, I have a bad memory;

Based on Frontier’s strong influence in the academic field, the formulation of these agreements should have been handled by legal experts who participated in writing relevant legal documents.”

"Yes." Fang Young smiled and nodded.

Frontier can bring out the top domestic tort laws for the infringement case of a Huaqiangbei player. How can it formulate an important contract agreement with legal loopholes?

"..."

Not long after, Fang Nian looked at the time and said: "It's almost lunch time. Let's go and have a meal together to get to know each other. This is a preliminary welcome to your joining."

"Okay." Bai Zhou nodded happily.

"..."

…………

Bai Zhou and Fang Nian took the Tremella Audi to Yangpu Wujiaochang.

Lunch was arranged at the leisure restaurant.

Everyone from the front office was present.
To be continued...
