"Thank you for your trust," he said seriously.
As Huang Yali watched Chen Dong speak eloquently, a surge of emotion welled up within her, as if Chen Dong were radiating light.
He displayed unparalleled composure and charisma, solely to showcase his talents and aspirations.
In contrast, in order to take back the garment factory, I had to travel around and even compromise. It was more a matter of helplessness and obsession than a genuine passion.
She suddenly felt a pang of envy for Chen Dong.
Of course, this is a choice you made yourself, so you can't blame anyone else.
You have to walk your own path.
Even if it seems meaningless now, or as if it was done out of desperation, it is actually still determined by one's own heart.
When someone says they have no other choice, it actually means they have chosen this path. But as free individuals, we can never have only one choice.
Realizing this, Huang Yali seemed to suddenly come to her senses.
She looked at Lin Benjian; her uncle seemed to have already made up his mind.
She knew that this way, he would also be able to showcase his talents in his favorite field.
That outcome is exactly what he hoped for, and it's equally enviable!
Chen Dong also noticed the change in Lin Benjian's mind from his expression, and knew that if he added fuel to the fire, the matter would be almost settled.
Picking up his cup, Chen Dong took a sip and looked at Lin Benjian with sincere eyes.
"Of course, I know you are also concerned about the academic environment, as well as the equipment and materials needed for research. Let me explain the solutions to these."
Lin Benjian did not expect Chen Dong to be so direct and dare to expose his own shortcomings.
Does he really have some particularly good solution?
Huang Yali also became curious.
Although she was unfamiliar with the semiconductor industry and didn't know much about it, based on her understanding of the high-tech field, she felt that Chen Dong's solution wasn't particularly reliable.
None of these issues are easy to resolve.
Meeting the two men's skeptical gazes, Chen Dong said, "Why am I putting them together? Because they are largely integrated and inseparable. And my solution is a comprehensive plan."
Hearing Chen Dong's words, Lin Benjian and Huang Yali became even more curious, their eyes filled with eagerness.
"It's actually quite simple. Since we're currently restricted by COCOM and can't freely purchase the relevant equipment and materials, why not just not place the research institution abroad, but in China, such as Hong Kong, where you would be in charge? What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Benjian's eyes lit up. He clapped his hands and laughed, then lightly tapped the table. "Great idea! What a great idea!"
In that instant, many things came to mind.
For example, I can have a lot of freedom here. At least, it is much more convenient to attend relevant conferences in various countries. I don't have to worry about being affected by relevant domestic authorities, nor do I have to worry about being affected by my status as a researcher from mainland China and being unable to participate in certain international technology conferences.
In contrast, the research institute has found it much easier to purchase materials and equipment.
Although some information will inevitably become known to outsiders over time, as long as one is careful and accelerates research and development to become a leader in the industry, the impact will be much smaller.
However, this puts a lot of pressure on Chen Dong.
Thinking of this, Lin Benjian couldn't help but speak:
"Mr. Chen, according to what you just said, you have already established a research institute in the mainland. Now you want to build another research institution. The investment must be considerable, right?"
Huang Yali was still marveling at Chen Dong's ingenious idea when she heard her uncle ask this question. She realized that, yes, establishing a research institute is very expensive.
When Chen Dong heard Lin Benjian ask this question, he smiled slightly.
Haha, the fact that he's so concerned about his own wallet shows that he's already on my side.
"You don't need to worry about that. For me, anything that can be solved with money isn't a problem."
Hearing Chen Dong say that, Lin Benjian and Huang Yali couldn't help but smile. Yes, he is a rich man.
However, they also felt a little depressed and angry.
Is this the style of the wealthy? Can money just buy you such capriciousness and allow you to do whatever you want?
Huang Yali even recalled a scene from a Hong Kong drama she had watched out of boredom:
The affirmative side questioned, "Does having money mean you can do whatever you want?"
The villain smugly declared, "Yes, money can buy you anything!"
With these thoughts swirling in her mind, she couldn't help but glare at Chen Dong and let out a soft "humph" through her nose.
Chen Dong was somewhat frustrated. He had come up with such a good plan, but instead of receiving praise, he was met with disdain.
Is there no justice left? Is there no law left?
Lin Benjian glanced at Huang Yali, and just then, Huang Yali looked at him as well.
The two looked at each other and instantly understood what they were thinking; it seemed they were of the same mind.
Lin Benjian turned to Chen Dong, looking at his slightly depressed expression, "Haha, I'm glad to hear you say that. I just hope that you keep your word and that there won't be a shortage of funds for subsequent investment and research."
Chen Dong's expression turned serious, and he said:
"You can rest assured about this. The annual investment amount will only increase, not decrease. You can calculate it and then reflect it in the contract. If the investment amount is insufficient, you can terminate the contract at any time."
Seeing Chen Dong's certainty, Lin Benjian instinctively felt that he had indeed made that decision, and couldn't help but feel happy.
