"How dare I neglect someone you value so much? What's more, Mr. Ye is very famous. Although Yiren Ruxue's battlefield is still in China, Mr. Ye's reputation abroad is much higher than that in China!" Tong Zhen said with a smile.
"Oh? I'm famous abroad?" Ye Chen asked in surprise.
"That's right, the Chinese community is talking about you. Compared to the popularity of the flawless balm, your popularity is higher! In addition, I'm afraid your name has already been written in the notebooks of the bosses of those international brands. If nothing unexpected happens, the world's top first-line skin care brands will soon find you for cooperation!" Tong Zhen said playfully.
However, Ye Chen just shook his head and smiled.
"If what Mr. Zhentong said is true, I'm afraid they will have to return home disappointed!
After that, he turned to look at Zhang Weimin, "Old Secretary, why don't you introduce Mr. Tong to me? Since you took the trouble to introduce him in person, I think Mr. Tong must be a very important person!"
According to Ye Chen's words.
Zhang Weimin stopped smiling.
He said seriously, "More than a decade ago, Tong Zhen went abroad from the Chinese Academy of Sciences to study. At that time, he was regarded as the most extraordinary genius in the history of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and was highly expected by all walks of life. You know, at that time, the domestic scientific and technological research and development technology lagged far behind the international level, and Tong Zhen was the most extraordinary genius in the history of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. To put it in an exaggerated way, he carried the hope of the nation in the field of science and technology on his shoulders!"
"Under this background, Tong Zhen's name naturally came into the eyes of many international prestigious schools! Many of the world's top universities invited him to study abroad, and he finally chose to go to the United States! When everyone was looking forward to his return from studying abroad to make breakthrough contributions to China's science and technology, he accepted the invitation from the United States to naturalize, gave up his Chinese nationality and became an American citizen. When this incident came out, the whole country was in an uproar, and all kinds of extreme abuses roared and did not disappear for a long time, such as traitor, ungrateful, ungrateful, etc., and even more unbearable to hear!'
"But he managed to hold on, and because of this, he gained a high degree of trust from the United States. He first joined a laboratory with an official American background and became one of the youngest professors. Then, he was assigned by the United States to join ASML, the company with the most powerful lithography technology in the world. He stayed at ASML for eight years and became the leader of ASML's core R&D team!"
"Now, eight years have passed since his ASML career. He did not choose to return to the United States, but insisted on returning to China. The United States and ASML were furious about this and even issued a ban order. Anyone who cooperates with Tong Zhen is an enemy of ASML! The United States even openly announced that any company that dares to accept Tong Zhen will be sanctioned! These threats are obviously aimed at Chinese companies!"
Although Ye Chen already knew what Zhang Weimin said in his previous life, he still pretended to be surprised at this time.
Zhang Weimin continued, "Based on the threat from the United States, even though domestic companies are eager for talents like Tong Zhen, they dare not provoke the other party for the sake of the overall situation. On the other hand, the Chinese government, considering various issues, is not in a good position to intervene in this dispute. After all, Tong Zhen is still an American citizen!"
After a pause, Zhang Weimin said, "Of course, Tong Zhen can contribute to our country's shortcomings in the field of lithography machines. The government will never give up on him. However, Tong Zhen does not want to cause trouble to the government, so he rejected the government's related assistance in private!"
"So???" Ye Chen's heartbeat quickened.
When Zhang Weimin said this, how could Ye Chen not know what he meant.
This, this is to send a monster like Tong Zhen to his side! If I remember correctly, Tong Zhen's destination in the previous life was Warwick Company. ① It was Warwick Company that took Tong Zhen under its wing after weighing the pros and cons and under endless pressure.
For this reason, Warwick has also been subjected to all-round sanctions from Europe and the United States, with the intensity far exceeding the wave of sanctions imposed by the United States a few years ago.
For three whole years, Warwick Company was unable to move forward, and had been exhausted from fending off the pursuit, blockade, sanctions and sniping from all sides, with losses incalculable. Until three years later.
With the country's secret support and Huawei's annual investment of billions, Tong Zhen, who had been branded a traitor for lithography technology for more than a decade, built the first domestically produced 5nm lithography machine, breaking China's barriers in the field of lithography machines and breaking the blockade monopoly of ASML in the Netherlands!
It is precisely because of the emergence of domestically produced 5nm lithography machines that China has ushered in an unprecedented rise in chip technology. Huawei, which has suffered countless hardships in the past three years, has become proud of it and achieved a leap forward in the curve, laying an unparalleled foundation for Huawei to become a world giant in the future!
But now.
Tong Zhen, who would later create a high-end lithography machine, appeared beside him? And it was very likely that he could use it for his own benefit?
this...
Ye Chen's mind went blank!
"I don't know if you have the guts to enter the field of lithography machines! I know you don't know anything, but it doesn't matter. You spend money, and I'm responsible for research and development. The Chinese Academy of Sciences told me privately that I can pick anyone I want, and the top science and technology institutions in China have also promised to let me build a team! High-end lithography machines are the pain in our nation's heart. If we can't make them, we will have to rely on others and be servile and strangled by others! What touched me most was that a few years ago, a delegation from a microelectronics company in Shanghai visited ASML. The other party said something, saying that even if we gave you the design drawings, you couldn't make it! Although this is the truth, it's too heartbreaking to hear!"
At this time, Tong Zhen also put away his frivolousness and smile, and spoke in a serious voice.
"Why me?"
Is Ye Chen tempted?
It's impossible not to be tempted!
But I still raise this question rationally.
"Without Mr. Zhang, there would be no Tong Zhen. If he hadn't been supporting me, I probably wouldn't have been able to finish junior high school. So the first person I looked for after returning to China was the old man. After I told him all this, he wanted us to meet!" Tong Zhen said.
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen looked at the old secretary Zhang Weimin.
"Tong Zhen has no shortage of mentors. Even though Europe and the United States are clamoring fiercely, once those giants in our country have recovered and weighed the pros and cons, I can't say for other companies, but Huawei will definitely take him in! But after thinking it over again and again, I still want you to get to know Tong Zhen. As for whether you can reach an agreement, it depends on you!" Zhang Weimin said solemnly.
