He had decided on the direction of his venture.
Next, it was time to recruit people and buy horses!
Obviously, it was impossible for Chen Jin to develop the cleaning robot that he wanted on Earth by himself.
In the field of mechanical design, he was only a half-baked student. His theoretical knowledge was average, and his hands-on skills were okay. He could not build any robot by himself.
The help provided by the artificial intelligence, Alice, was mostly software. He had to solve the core hardware by himself.
He had to recruit a group of professionals.
He searched the Internet and was ready to post a recruitment notice on a recruitment website.
However, a piece of news caught his attention.
"The National Robotics Competition Enters the Finals. Six School Teams Fight Fiercely."
After skimming through the news, he immediately booked a plane ticket. The next day, he flew to Northwestern Polytechnical University in West Bank City.
…
Three days later.
Chen Jin returned, looking travel-worn.
Six young people got off the plane with him. There were four guys and two girls. It was their first time in the international metropolis of Shang Hai. They looked around excitedly and started chattering.
"Shang Hai, this place is so big!"
"Yeah, the air is humid from the coast. It's much better than the semi-arid climate where I come from. It's good for the skin," said a girl with a lot of acne on her face.
"Not bad, not bad. Let's follow President Chen and develop in this city. We'll make a name for ourselves!"
"Zhang Zhi Wei, is your backpack on your back? We can't lose the first place trophy and the certificate of the grand prize, "said the handsome man who was walking in front.
"Yes, yes, yes. The trophy and certificate are in there. We won't lose them!" Zhang Zhi Wei said to Su You Jie, the leader of the team.
Chen Jin's lips curled into a smile as he listened to the young people's conversation.
That's right.
The team that won first place in the National Robotics Competition was recruited by him and tricked into coming to Shang Hai.
That's right, tricked.
Because at that time, there were too many organizations competing for this student group!
There were large state-owned companies.
There were foreign companies that were in the top 500.
There were private companies that offered an annual salary of $500,000.
There was even a state-owned military enterprise that manufactured tanks that said that the unit would be allocated housing and vehicles, and that there would be security when they were old. The benefits they offered were very generous.
Compared to these organizations, Chen Jin, who was still a commander without an army, could not see any competitiveness or attraction to the other party.
But Chen Jin won.
He defeated all his competitors and took down this student team.
What was the reason?
What was the secret behind this?
In fact, it was very simple: money.
Two words: throwing money.
He wanted to recruit them regardless of the cost.
In just three days, he had helped them solve two problems.
For example, Captain Su You Jie's pretty girlfriend, who was a flight attendant, had been throwing a tantrum with him. The reason was that a rich boss was trying his best to woo her, and she had started to dislike her poor boyfriend.
Su You Jie wanted to save their relationship, so Chen Jin played along. He brought his girlfriend to a 4S shop and bought a car worth more than $300,000.
Then, in a cafe, in front of his beautiful girlfriend, he signed an employment contract with an annual salary of a million dollars …
His girlfriend immediately changed her mind. She was all smiles and was very passionate towards Su You Jie.
Chen Jin secretly shook his head. He could not understand why a genius like Su You Jie would fall for a gold digger.
The other one was the vice-captain, Zhou Kun. His family had encountered a problem.
His father had advanced uremia and needed a kidney transplant, but the treatment would cost more than a million dollars.
The reason why their team was competing so hard was to win first place and win the $300,000 prize money to pay for Zhou Kun's father's treatment.
But $300,000 was far from enough. They still needed more than $700,000.
Faced with the recruitment from many companies, Zhou Kun's team made a request: lend him $700,000 to treat his father's illness, and he would repay them with all his heart!
None of the organizations agreed to this request. After all, they were not charities.
"I'll give you $700,000!"
Chen Jin stood up. Everyone was shocked, and looked at him as if he was an idiot.
Chen Jin took out two documents and said, "Consider this your salary in advance. Sign the employment contract now, and I'll give you the money for your father's surgery!"
"Okay!" Zhou Kun signed without hesitation.
Just like that, Chen Jin recruited the best team members, Su You Jie and vice-captain Zhou Kun.
The remaining four members, Zhang Zhi Wei, Wu Lei, Xiao Xiao, and Yang Qiu Ying, signed without hesitation when they saw the monthly salary of $20,000 for the probation period. (It was not a high salary, but it was the standard of an excellent intern in Hua Yao)
The whole team was successfully recruited.
Zhou Kun's father was also transferred to the best hospital in Shang Hai City, so Zhou Kun followed him.
In short, Chen Jin spent more than a million dollars on this recruitment trip in order to recruit talents.
…
After finding a high-class hotel and settling the six of them down.
The next morning, Chen Jin showed them around the small factory in the Bao Shan Industrial Zone.
This …
The six of them were dumbfounded.
Some of them turned to look at their boss, Chen Jin.
This empty factory with almost no equipment was where they would work?
"Ahem ~"
Chen Jin coughed twice and explained to them, "The conditions are a little crude, but don't worry, the equipment will be bought soon. Everything that you need will be here …"
"And you should have heard of the stories of Jobs and Google's founder, Sergey. They started their business in a garage. But this is not a garage. Our conditions are much better …"
Seeing that they did not respond, Chen Jin could only give them some chicken soup for the soul.
Su You Jie shrugged his shoulders with a helpless look on his face. There were all kinds of tools in a garage overseas, but there was nothing here.
But the contract had already been signed, and they had agreed to work for Chen Jin. They could only bite the bullet and carry on. There was no reason for them to back out.
After all, starting a business was like this. Everyone had to start from scratch.
So, in the next two days, Chen Jin followed Su You Jie and Zhou Kun's suggestions to many factories and ordered many sets of equipment.
There were small CNC machines, punching machines, laser processing machines, cutting machines, sanding machines, welding machines, and a large number of circuit boards, electronic components, control switches, wires, and so on … The total cost was more than $18 million.
Not only was there a complete range of equipment, but they were all mid-to-high-end products. They did not pick cheap ones to save on R&D costs.
This deepened their impression that the boss was a tycoon.
