Not long after Chen Dong returned home, Huang Yali replied to him, saying that her uncle had indeed agreed to meet.
Hayashi Honma is a very family-oriented person, which is why he suddenly returned to Japan to help his niece and handle all the family financial disputes.
Others might perceive him as withdrawn and not good at communicating with others.
In addition, having no children, he shouldn't be thinking about so many things, but in fact, precisely because he has no children, he regards his remaining relatives as the most important people.
At this time, Hayashi Honma was working for another company, where he was doing quite well, if not exceptionally well.
This time, when his niece told him that someone had given him money to solve the company's operational problems, and even emphasized that she wanted to meet him, Lin Benjian was very curious.
Especially according to his niece's description, this person seems to be very rich, yet also very capable, and his entire being is full of charm.
Hayashi Honma had never heard his nephew describe a special man in such a way before, so he was really curious and wanted to go and see for himself. This time, they arranged to meet at another teahouse.
There are actually quite a few teahouses like this in Taipei.
Most of them belong to those so-called refined people, who are just trying to appear cultured.
However, unlike a simple teahouse, this place often has so-called master chefs who create delicious food, amazing things, and even some quiet and special places that require a lot of money to enter.
Hayashi Honma was a man who loved tranquility, so he deliberately chose this place and sat there quietly, seemingly more composed than anyone else.
Chen Dong arrived quickly. Upon their first meeting, Chen Dong discovered that Lin Benjian was indeed as described in the previous information—a calm, scholarly figure.
These researchers will definitely have a big problem, which is baldness. One study shows that the smarter a person is, the less likely they are to retain their hair. Lin Benjian is a case in point, with the beginnings of the bald patch on his forehead.
At this moment, Chen Dong looked at Lin Benjian. So, while he might not be outstanding in appearance, his refined scholarly air was 100%. Moreover, he knew about him beforehand; this man had given up some high-paying positions just so he could continue his research in semiconductors.
He hasn't yet been able to truly make a splash and showcase all his personal abilities. It should be said that although he is quite remarkable now, he hasn't truly reached the pinnacle. In fact, in a few years, his reputation will become increasingly prominent, after all, he has pioneered some extremely advanced technologies.
Especially those lithography machines, which are leading the future trend. Even if this great Eastern country rises and becomes stronger in a decade or more, it will be difficult to break through this so-called technological barrier.
The lithography machine itself requires the concerted efforts of dozens of countries, who continuously provide advanced technologies and techniques, to finally succeed. This demonstrates that the person possesses an astonishing judgment and ability to integrate various aspects of engineering design.
"Are you Mr. Chen Dong? Hello, please have a seat."
The man spoke cautiously, then had Chen Dong sit down. Compared to Huang Yali's previous interaction with Chen Dong, this time he was clearly taking a calm and equal stance, and throughout the entire process, he didn't engage in any idle chatter.
"Hello Mr. Lin, my name is Chen Dong, and I am a businessman from China. I can tell you the truth now. I am running a semiconductor company called Longteng."
"I really hope that some capable and talented people will join my semiconductor company to help the country research semiconductor technology and make more commercial attempts. I believe that by grasping semiconductors, we can gain a head start in the future. This is my confident judgment. Of course, without more capable people joining, even if we have this judgment, it will be useless."
Chen Dong had already explained the general situation as soon as he came up, showing an amazing level of confidence and attitude.
"Mr. Chen Dong, I don't know much about Longteng Semiconductor Company. To be honest, I am, after all, a person of Chinese descent, but I don't have much judgment on domestic affairs, and I don't know what's going on. The only thing I can say is that I'm not entirely interested in your proposal."
In fact, all of this was within Chen Dong's expectations. First of all, this Lin Benjian had indeed traveled all over the country and had come to China for some academic reasons.
During academic exchanges, he had already witnessed the prevailing atmosphere in China, which was not conducive to the development of semiconductor talents like himself. Furthermore, the development of the semiconductor industry in China has been significantly affected.
In previous years, China's semiconductor industry was quite advanced, and it even manufactured a rudimentary lithography machine.
However, due to external technological blockades, the difficulty of research and development, and other reasons, China simply couldn't make this kind of thing go further or do better. In addition, the academic atmosphere in China was too closed, which indeed didn't have much appeal to Lin Benjian.
"First, regarding the funds, I believe no one in the world would offer a higher price than me. This represents my expectations of you. Let me put it this way: $30 million. This is my personal settlement allowance for you."
“Even if you are engaged in scientific research, 30 million is still a considerable sum. If you are willing to join my company, you can receive 30 million immediately.”
Huang Yali, who was standing next to her, hadn't had a chance to speak until she heard the amount of 30 million. She couldn't help but open her mouth wide when she heard that her parents only owed 20 million, which was in Taiwanese dollars. Their clothing company was relatively successful. If it weren't for gambling, the company's shares wouldn't have been mortgaged to the bank, and her parents wouldn't have committed suicide because of it.
To reiterate, $30 million would be enough for them to work for 10 years without eating or drinking, while Flower Clothing Company's annual profit probably wouldn't even reach $3 million.
It's important to understand that this isn't the future. Until he creates enough value for the company, Lin Benjian's income will be the same as that of an ordinary senior executive.
At that time, his salary could have reached a higher level, but it was already agreed that what Chen Dong gave was only the first so-called settling-in allowance, so that the other party could continue his research with peace of mind.
