"I haven't even mentioned the compensation yet. Perhaps after hearing about the compensation our company offers, you'll consider switching jobs." Cui Lenan paused, then continued, "We're offering you an annual salary of $500,000. I wonder if you'd be interested in joining Wujiang Group?"
Tim Berners-Lee looked slightly shocked when he heard about the $500,000 annual salary.
"Ms. Cui, why is your company willing to offer me such a high annual salary?"
"Because you are a talented person. Our company values talent very much and spares no expense in order to recruit outstanding talents to join the company."
Tim Berners-Lee's ability to gain entry into the particle laboratory established by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) already speaks volumes about his excellence.
However, Tim Berners-Lee is not someone who values money too much; he now has a goal, which is to develop the technology.
Therefore, he declined the offer from Wujiang Group.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Cui, thank you very much for the invitation from Wujiang Group, but I really don't want to change jobs right now. I really like my current job!"
"Oh, could you tell me what kind of job it is?"
“I’m sorry, I can’t say that,” Tim Berners-Lee shook his head and refused.
At this time, he had already accepted a very challenging task: to develop software so that nuclear physicists in various European countries could communicate and exchange information in a timely manner through computer networks to conduct collaborative research, so that the latest information, data and images of physics laboratories and research institutes in various countries could be shared by everyone.
In May of this year, Tim Berners-Lee submitted a project proposal to CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research), suggesting the use of hypertext technology to connect the various laboratories within CERN, with the possibility of expanding to the whole world once the system is completed.
Unfortunately, this exciting proposal caused a huge uproar at CERNET. After all, it was a nuclear physics laboratory, not a computer network research center. Although some people supported it, it was ultimately not approved. But Tim Berners-Lee was not discouraged. He is revising the proposal, adding an explanation of the steps and application prospects of hypertext development, hoping to get approval from his superiors.
It was at this time that Cui Lenan approached him, wanting to invite him to join the Wujiang Group.
Tim Berners-Lee was so passionate about such a great cause that he certainly didn't want to switch jobs to Infinity Group.
At this moment, Cui Lenan smiled and said, "Mr. Berners-Lee, don't be in such a hurry to refuse. By the way, the boss said to show you something. After you see it, you will definitely be willing to switch jobs to Wujiang Group!"
Upon hearing this, Tim Berners-Lee shook his head inwardly, somewhat disbelieving that anything could possibly shake his resolve!
And then, it smells so good...
