Chapter 131 Returning to China to Start a Business

Just when Bai Xi arrived in Pengcheng, something else happened on the other side of the ocean.

Boston, Cambridge.

As a world-renowned "university town", many well-known universities are located here, the most famous of which are Harvard and MIT.

Of course, the university is just a carrier. In addition to talents, it is also a gathering place for many other things.

Such as cutting-edge technology, such as money, such as power.

It was late at night here. To be precise, it wasn't long before dawn, but there were still people busy.

Zhang Chengri put down his marker, looked at the densely packed formulas on the whiteboard, rubbed his eyes, and said, "Gentlemen, that's all for today. Everyone go back and rest."

Below is his team, or to be more precise, the core members of the team.

He was hired as a professor at MIT at the age of 30 and became a tenured professor at MIT at the age of 33. He and his team, which is mainly composed of Chinese, are one of the world's most cutting-edge physics research teams.

In particular, we have achieved excellent research results in the areas of semiconductor energy consumption and heat dissipation, as well as high-speed mobile communications.

However, they recently encountered a difficult problem, a problem at the application level. If they can break through it, it can form an effective theoretical support for the integration density of semiconductors. But unfortunately, after working on it for an entire night, there is still no definite result.

Everyone nodded, stood up, packed up, and walked out one by one.

Zhang Chengri took a look at the coffee that had long gone cold, shook his head and poured it into the trash can.

"Professor Zhang, do you have any thoughts on what I said last time?"

The speaker speaks Chinese.

Zhang Chengxing looked back and saw his Chinese teammate, Che Wenjun, who was in his early thirties but was already an outstanding scholar.

Zhang checked his schedule and saw that everyone else had left, so he replied in Chinese: "Still considering it."

The other party asked about cooperating with the Huo family and returning to China to invest in the semiconductor industry.

This also happened not long ago.

The reason was that after the celebration, when Ho Chun-kong and his wife were chatting with Bai Xi, they talked about the future direction of the industry.

During the chat, Bai Xi thought of the chips and lithography machines that were blocked by the Eagle Sauce in the future, so he mentioned it in passing.

Because Bai Xi herself was wealthy and had a mysterious identity that allowed her to watch the ceremony on the city wall, her suggestion immediately gained the attention of Huo Zhengang.

After returning to Hong Kong, he found an old expert in the industry and briefly learned about it.

The old expert said, "The prospects for the chip industry are indeed not optimistic. Several domestic companies have tried to break through in the industry before, but all failed."

Huo Zhengang was puzzled: "Why can't I get up?"

"Because we started late and haven't formed a healthy market mechanism, companies have invested a lot of energy in research and development, but the products they produce on the market are just outdated products. There's no positive feedback, so no one is willing to invest. Basically, people in all fields just buy directly."

In fact, any developing country cannot avoid the game of "buying" and "making" on the road to industrialization and modernization.

In the past, because we lacked so many things, our country as a whole was in the middle and lower reaches of the global industrial chain, so naturally the trend of "buying" surpassed "making".

Now, as technology advances, it gradually reaches some man-made "barriers", that is, when someone wants to "choke" us, we have to develop in the direction of "manufacturing".

"We are also lacking in talent. Although many of the top talents in this field worldwide are Chinese, and we have even sent some of them abroad, there are really not many in China..."

After gaining a general understanding of the current state of the industry, Huo Zhengang keenly realized that this was an opportunity.

In other words, it is not only an opportunity for the Huo family, but also an opportunity for the Xia Kingdom.

So he contacted Zhang Licheng, who was in charge of this field, through his overseas connections, and wanted to invite him to return to China to start a business.

But in this kind of industry, the role of one person is far from enough, and what is needed is the strength of a team.

So when making the schedule, I discussed it with some core members of the team. Considering that we were returning to China, the first group of people to communicate were all Chinese.

Che Wenjun said, "Okay, but I can tell you my thoughts first. If you choose to return to China for development, I fully support you."

"Actually, even if you hadn't come to see me, I'd have considered going back. My parents are both in China and are old now, and I'm their only child. Zhejiang University over there has offered me a good job opportunity. Of course, I'd be even happier if I could go back and start a business with you."

Zhang Licheng simply asked Che Wenjun to sit down, closed the door and had a good chat.

"From a career perspective, there are naturally more opportunities in China. After all, you know the situation here... It's hard for people with yellow skin to get to the forefront. They only want us to stay in labs and technical departments."

Zhang Chengxing has been in Eagle Sauce for more than 20 years and has long seen through the society here.

His "roots" are not here, and his "top" is not here either.

No wonder the teacher, even at such an old age, resolutely decided to return to his country... and even changed his nationality.

But he is not like his teacher who has retired after achieving success. He is still in his prime and wants to make a career, so he has his own concerns.

"But when returning to China to start a business, we have to consider practical product issues. We need technical personnel from all aspects of the industry. Relying on just a few of us... the uncertainty is still too great."

This is also the biggest reason why Zhang Licheng hesitated.

Although his team has made great achievements in this field, they are not so arrogant as to think that just a few people can handle semiconductor manufacturing when they return, even with the financial support of the Huo family.

And if you want to go back, not everyone will definitely follow.

Che Wenjun suddenly said, "Professor Zhang, I might be able to help with this. The domestic environment has been improving over the past few years, and many Chinese scholars I know are considering returning to China, including some with expertise in the semiconductor field. It might not be appropriate for you to approach them personally, but it shouldn't be a problem for me to ask privately."

"We're not talking about bringing back hundreds of people. Just enough key personnel will be enough. The rest can be recruited domestically. The training of talent in this area in China is also catching up."

As he spoke, Che Wenjun felt a little excited. Originally, giving up his job here and returning to China was quite stressful for him. However, by chance, Professor Zhang was willing to lead the team back to China.

What are you waiting for?

Of course, it is to become bigger and stronger and create greater glory!

Zhang Chengri nodded: "Thank you for your hard work..."

Suddenly, Zhang Richeng thought of some bad things that happened to his teacher when he was young...

I couldn't help but remind him: "Be careful... I'm worried..."

Che Wenjun replied: "What are you worried about?"

"Forget it, I mean to be careful. Anyway, just look for Chinese people first..."
