I am devoted to scientific research, but you want to trick me into having a love relationship?

Chapter 553 This is actually a two-way journey
While the two young people were living a leisurely life, Tesla's technology research and development and engineering departments were busy.

After receiving the core algorithm, everyone broke out in a cold sweat and marveled at the power of the algorithm in the paper. Then, the entire team began to work overtime like crazy to fill the loopholes.

In addition to the engineering department, the investor relations and strategy department, and the compliance department, these departments are also not idle and are simultaneously advancing the response strategies mentioned in the paper.

As a listed company, Tesla is still very efficient. By coordinating cross-departmental resources, it has developed a series of systematic response plans and posted the new policies on its official website.

For example, the delivery volume will be made transparent, and regional delivery data will be published monthly to reduce market speculation on inventory.

The market maker alliance and liquidity redundancy have signed exclusive agreements with top market makers, requiring them to commit to providing minimum liquidity guarantees during fluctuations in Tesla’s stock price.

In addition to these policies for investors.

There are also a lot of them in private.

For example, once a crisis occurs, Musk and other executives will increase their holdings by 6 million shares in the next six months to directly hedge against short-selling pressure.

Or it could use its 200 billion cash reserves to implement a "10% equity repurchase" to send a signal of ample cash flow.

Or they can take the initiative to penetrate the market with economy models and expand the FSD ecosystem to break the valuation ceiling.

A complete set of offensive and defensive strategies has been documented.

At the same time, senior executives of Citadel Securities, a short-selling firm based in Miami, Florida, had just held a secret meeting.

Inside the office.

The person in charge, Gilfis, rubbed his brows and said helplessly, "As the Xia people say, Diaz showed up halfway through. This failure is not your fault."

"It's a pity that we have been preparing for half a year. If we can successfully implement it in August, it will be one of the most successful short-selling cases in history."

The regret of the young man known as "Diaz". Once the short-selling plan is realized, Castle Securities' income will be calculated in "billions".

Gilfis shrugged. "This is business. Any uncertainty can determine the success or failure of a business. You should get used to it sooner."

Castle Securities discovered the loopholes in Tesla's mechanism half a year ago and had formed a special team to secretly formulate a short-selling strategy. Who would have thought that one month before the implementation of the short-selling plan, a paper written by a young man named "Song Yao" disrupted all the deployments.

It was as if it was aimed squarely at them, almost making people suspect that they had leaked the plan internally.

Of course, the possibility is very small. If it is really leaked, it should be sold directly for money rather than released publicly.

As the world's top market makers and high-frequency trading institutions, their core trading strategies and algorithm models are highly confidential and will not be disclosed to the public.

Any specific strategy details, such as signal generation, order execution logic, risk control parameters, etc. are strictly protected assets within the company, and the outside world can only speculate through public market behavior or academic research.

Gilfis asked in a deep voice: "Have you contacted Miss Song?"

"Mr. Kent had already approached her through an acquaintance at Harvard, but she declined Mr. Kent's invitation," Diaz replied.

"Oh~ This is more regrettable news than the failure of the project. Such a genius is only suitable for working in securities."

Gilfis sighed with great regret.

After eight or nine days of bright sunshine, a downpour in late May washed away the heat. At 10 a.m., outside the window, raindrops slid across the gray sky like fine threads, looking dense and dense.

Song Yao was sitting at the desk, looking at the price list of the equipment Xu Qingzhou needed to buy.

These days, Ross brought good news. He has contacted several equipment suppliers. Except that the prices they offered are slightly higher, there are basically no problems and they have begun to finalize the prices.

As for Xu Qingzhou, he was leaning on the sofa leisurely, communicating with Xia Guo. Since Xu Qingzhou was not in China at the moment, Zhang Xiaohui provided a one-stop service and assisted in setting up a temporary office to manage the affairs of the Kyoto Materials Research Institute.

The person in charge of the temporary office has also been selected, and he is an old acquaintance, Director Ji Yunshi of the Department of Physics at Kyoto University.

Xu Qingzhou certainly had no objection. He had come into contact with Ji Yunshi both in his previous life and when he was studying at Peking University a few years ago.

Before switching to administration, Lao Ji had been deeply engaged in the field of physics for decades and has a solid background in the subject. He is now even more familiar with education policies, industry trends and technological developments.

Not to mention management, he does things in an unconventional way and is definitely an excellent manager.

"Okay, I'll trouble you with the rest. Bye."

Xu Qingzhou and Ji Yunshi finished discussing patents and recruitment.

[Postdoctoral fellow, annual salary of 60.

Assistant researcher, annual salary of 90.

Senior researcher, annual salary of 150 million. 】

This is the salary offered by Xu Qingzhou, which is directly comparable to the world's top research institutes.

Let me put it this way, the current normal level in China is between 50 and 80. The top ones, such as the Songshan Lake Laboratory, have an annual salary between 80 and 150 million.

Internationally, the income of postdoctoral fellows in U.S. national laboratories is around RMB 50, while that of scientists is between RMB 80 and RMB 200 million.

Moreover, the above salary does not include performance bonuses and project shares.

Talent is one of the core competitive advantages of an institute. Even if the equipment is in place, it would be a huge loss if we ignore the investment in talent, which would lead to technological lag and failure of industrialization.

Xu Qingzhou wanted to attract talented people through high salaries, build a strong research team, and allow the institute to quickly form patent barriers and seize the commanding heights of international technology.

Because when it comes to salary, he is willing to spend money.

If you want the horse to run, you have to let it eat grass. Those idealistic ambitions can be used to boost morale at critical moments.

Of course, the salary is high and the recruitment conditions are equally stringent.

The most basic requirement is a doctorate degree in materials science, condensed matter physics, nuclear engineering, etc., and you need to have published at least three top SCI journals as the first author.

In addition, those with experience working in top overseas laboratories, such as the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the United States and the Max Planck Institute in Germany, will be given priority.

In addition to formal researchers, the institute also has undergraduate internship positions to provide training opportunities for Beijing University students.

"If Director Ji hadn't come, he might have been promoted to dean in a few years."

Xu Qingzhou found it a little funny again.

Director Ji had always wanted to recruit him to the School of Physics. Now, he did not go to the School of Physics, but the other party asked him to come here.

Of course, the Kyoto Institute of Materials has a special status.

Once it is officially established, Ji Yunshi will definitely hold an important position. To some extent, it can be considered as an advance promotion.

So, this is actually a two-way journey.
