"Old Wang, why are you home so early today?"
"I don't have classes today."
"Don't you have classes today?"
"Anyway, I don't have classes today."
"That's strange …"
Wang Ren was so angry at Chen Yu that he vomited blood. When he got home, he hid in the study without saying a word.
His wife was a little puzzled. "Old Wang, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing."
"You think I can't see through your temper? Is the funding not approved by the institute?"
"There's no need to approve it. A few days ago, a rich person donated tens of millions."
"Who donated?"
"Chen Yu."
Wang Ren said in a bad mood.
"Hahaha, hahaha, Old Wang, this is a good thing. Why aren't you happy?"
"How can I be happy? Didn't he donate money to poach me?"
"Then did you agree?"
"No."
"See, you're so stubborn. Now you know how to be depressed."
His wife naturally knew Wang Ren's character.
He usually didn't accept benefits from others. He always said that he didn't deserve anything.
But now that Chen Yu directly donated tens of millions, he really didn't feel good in his heart.
"Capitalists are really bad."
Wang Ren sighed. "I didn't want to accept it at first, but the funding wasn't approved for half a year. It's also hard for the little guys who follow me."
"For their sake, so you accepted it."
"Yes."
"So, on one hand, you're using the money donated by others, but on the other hand, you still don't want to go to Huanyu Technologies. You're very conflicted."
"If that's all, it's fine."
Speaking of this, Wang Ren became even angrier. "Although I feel a little guilty, I'm determined not to go to Huanyu Technologies."
"But how are you going to explain to Chen Yu?"
"What explanation? I didn't ask him to donate."
"Uh …"
His wife was stunned.
This was the first time she saw her husband act so shamelessly.
"Don't look at me like that. I was forced to do it. But, you know how Chen Yu dealt with me. This guy saw that I didn't do anything, so he directly poached all the graduate students I brought with me. So, in the future, I might not have classes for a while. Not only was there no class, this guy even threatened me. He said that if I don't agree, he'll keep poaching my graduate students so that I won't have any graduate students to teach … "
"Pfff …"
His wife was amused by Wang Ren. "There's such a person?"
"What do you think?"
"However, this also shows his sincerity towards you. By the way, why did your graduate students leave so quickly? "
"Twenty thousand yuan a month. If it were me, I would leave too."
"Hahaha, hahaha …"
After a round of complaining, Wang Ren told his wife everything that had happened in the past few days.
After hearing this, his wife thought about it and said seriously, "Old Wang, I think you need to seriously consider it."
"You still insist that I go to Huanyu Technologies?"
"It's still the same. Academics don't necessarily have to be in a university. He can also work in a commercial company."
"Aren't I just afraid of being corrupted by capital?"
"You're afraid of being corrupted by capital, but do you think you won't be troubled by capital in school?"
"This …"
Obviously, his wife had hit Wang Ren's sore spot.
Higher education institutions seemed simpler and didn't need to deal with too many complicated things.
However, this was not the case.
Higher education institutions also had their own difficulties. For example, some scientific research funds were not something that could be applied for just by applying for them.
Especially when there were not many results, higher education institutions and commercial companies would naturally terminate one's research.
In fact, higher education institutions would even terminate one's research faster.
If one wanted to ignore everything and only focus on academics and scientific research, this was not possible anywhere, let alone in higher education institutions.
"Actually, I understand this principle. Let me think about it."
Wang Ren did not say anything else and fell into deep thought.
His wife did not disturb Wang Ren anymore. She knew that she should give him some quiet space to think.
A few days later, Chen Yu received a call from Wang Ren.
This made Chen Yu feel very strange. However, he knew what this call meant.
It meant that Professor Wang Ren had thought it through.
After arranging a place, Chen Yu was ready to have a good chat with Professor Wang Ren.
"Chen Yu, I have a few questions to ask you."
Originally, Chen Yu wanted to invite Professor Wang Ren to a hotel near Peking University. However, Wang Ren set the location at the Physics Department laboratory.
Although Chen Yu felt a little strange, Chen Yu still came.
As soon as he saw Chen Yu, Wang Ren did not exchange any pleasantries. Instead, he directly asked Chen Yu.
"Professor, please speak."
"Why do you want to make a photolithography machine?"
"Because we want to develop our own chips."
"You don't have to make a photolithography machine to develop your own chips."
"This may be the case in other countries, but I don't think it's possible in our country."
Wang Ren nodded.
He could understand Chen Yu's answer.
This was because many of the topics that higher education professors were researching might have been researched by other countries.
However, because they had not researched it themselves, it was still necessary to research it.
Don't think that this was unnecessary. This was too necessary at a critical moment.
Of course, he also knew that this would cost a lot of money.
"You know that I'm a bit arrogant and have a bad temper. If I agree to join Huanyu Technologies, what conditions can you give me?"
"Salary is up to you. Of course, if you don't have any problems with this, I can guarantee you that your salary will not be lower than Chief Engineer Lin's. Also, if you have any other projects that you need to research, I can build a laboratory for you. However, for the time being, I can only promise you verbally. It has to be after Huanyu Technologies has enough funds. "
"I don't think I have any reason not to agree to this condition. However … "
Wang Ren hesitated for a moment.
"Professor, what is it?"
"Actually, I want to tell you that I'm very grateful for your invitation. Similarly, I'm also very interested in wet lithography technology. However, I can't guarantee that if I join, I can help you solve the problem. "
"Professor, you're overthinking it."
Chen Yu thought that Professor Wang Ren had other conditions. He did not expect it to be this.
Immediately, Chen Yu also spoke the truth, "Professor, maybe you don't know, but I don't think that wet lithography technology can be developed in a short time. In fact, we don't even have much confidence. "
"Then why did you spend so much money on it?"
"It's precisely because we don't have confidence that we have to do it."
"Understood."
Wang Ren nodded.
He suddenly understood why Chen Yu spent so much effort to poach him.
Chen Yu didn't poach him because he really thought that he would be able to create the wet lithography technology in one go.
Poaching him was the same as spending so much money on a lithography machine.
They were all for this possibility.
However, this could also be a waste of money.
But if this possibility became a real possibility.
Then, the huge amount of money that Huanyu Technologies had invested would be returned with a huge return.
Speaking of which, this was a huge gamble.
If they lost the gamble, Huanyu Technologies would lose everything.
If they won the gamble, they would make a killing.
Wang Ren could not help but admire Chen Yu.
Although Chen Yu's age was only some of the graduate students he taught, and was even two or three years younger than them.
But what Wang Ren did not know was.
In Chen Yu's strategy.
Even if he lost the photolithography machine project, he wouldn't lose everything, just a little.
But if he won the gamble, it would not be as simple as making a killing.
Instead …
It would be a win-win situation.
