Lu Chi: "It's settled then. One group will work on games, and another group will work on chips."
The long table in the conference room divided the 40 technicians into two rows, left and right.
Lu Chi said to the row on the left, "You guys continue making games from now on."
He said to the 20 people on his right, "You 20 people on your right will be working with me on chips from now on."
The 20 people looked at each other, their expressions indescribable.
Lu Chi naturally knew what they were thinking, but he didn't expose them because he also wanted to hear their opinions or suggestions.
After hesitating for half a minute, one of the 20 people who were asked to work on chips stood up and raised questions:
"President Lu, it's not that we're unwilling to do chip research and development, it's just that it's too difficult, and we simply don't know how to do it."
Another person chimed in, "Yes, Mr. Lu, chip development falls into the realm of cutting-edge technology. Currently, only the United States possesses this technology, and the patent rights are held by the richest man in the country, Qiao Kailun. Not to mention us, even the entire Chinese nation lacks this technology!"
"Mr. Lu, even if we start researching now, we don't know when we'll be able to figure it out. Chip technology is just too advanced!"
"Yeah, it's too advanced, we don't even know where to start."
"..."
As the first technician stepped forward to speak, others followed suit, each offering their own opinions.
Even the group of technicians who were sitting on the left continuing to work on the game stood up and said that it was unlikely that they could research chip technology. If it were that easy to research, Joe Karen would not have been able to hold the title of the world's richest man for ten years.
Lu Chi sat in his seat, arms crossed, calmly watching everyone speak enthusiastically.
Everyone's opinion is simply that chip development requires a lot of technology, making it unlikely to be successful.
After everyone finished speaking, they all looked up at Lu Chi, waiting for the boss to speak and see if he would back down.
After all, even though he has money, there's no point in doing things he's not sure about; it's just a waste of money.
Lu Chi cleared his throat, glanced at the dozens of technicians present, and said calmly:
"It's great that everyone is so eager to speak. Chip technology is very difficult, and it's indeed not easy to develop it. Your comments are all for my sake and for the sake of the entire company, and I'm very grateful, but..."
The single word "but" put everyone on the edge of their seats.
Does President Lu still intend to do things his own way and focus on R&D?
Lu Chi picked up the water glass in front of him, took a sip to moisten his throat, and continued, "But... who am I? I am your all-powerful CEO Lu. Researching chips is a piece of cake for me."
"What?" Someone clearly didn't believe it. "Mr. Lu, are you telling the truth?"
"Yes, Mr. Lu, you really know chip technology?"
Lu Chi touched his chin, as if he had grown a long beard there.
He touched his beard a few times but couldn't find it, so he propped his face up with his hand and said, "It's definitely real! It's just chip technology, no big deal!"
Lu Chi's unwavering confidence caused everyone's thoughts to waver.
Lu Chi continued, "Listen to me, starting tomorrow, the 20 of you in this group will be moving to a different office. We'll be developing chips!"
The 20 people on the right could only nod, with some doubts, some certainty, and some thinking, "Whatever, I'll just do whatever the boss tells me to do," as they signed the confidentiality agreement that Lu Chi had asked them to sign.
Afterwards, the group working on the game development left first, while the group working on chip research and development remained in the conference room. Lu Chi instructed Jiang Jieyu to print 20 copies of the chip research and development plan and distribute one to each person.
Lu Chi: "Everyone, please take a look at the planning document in your hands first. Feel free to raise any opinions or suggestions you may have."
The 20 people holding the planning document began to study it carefully.
Lu Chi didn't disturb them, quietly sitting in his seat, playing on his phone and watching videos.
Jiang Jieyu stood not far from him, her figure curvaceous, waiting for him to assign her tasks.
Although she was standing there, her eyes seemed to be attached to Lu Chi, capturing every move he made.
She thought every move he made was so cool.
Time passed second by second.
Fifteen minutes later, everyone who had read the plan gasped in shock, silently repeating "Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap..." in their minds.
"President Lu!" an employee shouted, rushing over to grab Lu Chi's hand, almost bursting into tears. "President Lu! You are truly a genius!"
The sudden sound startled Lu Chi. As soon as Lu Chi looked up, several more employees rushed up to him, so excited that they almost knelt on the ground.
Their worship of Lu Chi was practically to the point of complete devotion.
"Mr. Lu, at first we thought you were joking, but we didn't expect you to actually do it!"
"President Lu, with your chip R&D technology, China's standing in the world will increase several times over."
"Mr. Lu..."
...
Lu Chi nodded: "...So brothers, work hard with me. As long as I, Lu Chi, have food to eat, you will never be short of soup."
"A prodigy!"
"Thank you, Mr. Lu! Thank you, Mr. Lu!"
Standing to the side, Jiang Jieyu's heart pounded as she saw Lu Chi's triumphant appearance.
How wonderful it would be if a man like that were mine!
That day, Lu Chi had his research lab prepared, all the necessary equipment purchased, and brought back and stored.
The next day, they began their intensive chip research work.
According to Guagua's plan, this chip research should be completed in a week at most.
However, in order not to make it seem too easy, Lu Chi deliberately delayed the progress by a month.
However, that's a story for another time.
After starting chip research, Lu Chi began his second project—developing new energy vehicles.
The second plan is beyond the capabilities of our current staff; we need to recruit a group of professionals.
Lu Chi assigned Jiang Jieyu to take charge of this matter.
According to Jiang Jieyu, all top talents were recruited within half a month.
Lu Chi himself was not idle either; he personally went to the car research company to poach people.
Who to poach? Of course, they'd poach the manager of the car manufacturing plant, who would then bring a group of highly skilled professionals with him.
Lu Chi showed them the development plan for new energy vehicles. After Jiang Jieyu's team arrived, the second task began.
On Saturday night, Lu Chi lay in the master bedroom of his new villa, thinking about making short dramas for an app.
Then he received a message from Su Yunian: "Lu Chi, are you asleep?"
Lu Chi quickly replied to the message: "I'm not asleep, I'm thinking of you, I want to hold you..."
[...] Su Yunian replied with a shy emoji.
