"Mr. Wei, your company started too late, it takes a long time to buy equipment and build a laboratory, and domestic EUV can't afford to wait, so it's better to sell us lenses, we have existing hardware and technology on the basis of qualified lenses, and it may only take two years at most, and domestic EUV can be successfully launched."

"We don't have to waste precious time."

Pu Weicai explained.

It takes at least a year to set up a lithography machine factory, and domestic chip foundry companies are waiting to be fed, and the situation is really running out.

"How much money can you sell for lenses? What I fancy is the profit of the whole machine. ”

Wei Ming shook his head: "Besides, why is it a waste of time for me?" I have the money to buy the best equipment, I have the money to recruit the best talents, I have enough resources to invest in it, and with the full support of my boss, the efficiency must be slower than your optical machine institute?

Longyao company can get DUV in just two years, you work in the optical machine institute, more than ten years only conquered two subsystems, not a lithography machine has ever been built, really let you save the whole machine, you have little experience, can you really do it in two years? ”

"It's better to bring the equipment and talents to my company, develop in a different place, have unlimited funds and unlimited resources to support you, you don't have to write reports every year to apply for funds, you don't have to look at the face of the leader, you can be responsible for the work wholeheartedly, the professional field, give you complete decentralization, including me, the boss, I don't have the right to point fingers at you, the laboratory is your hall."

"With a monthly salary of 30,000 yuan, the pressure is still a bit big in the city of Heshan, right? I heard that the mortgage is 20,000 1 every month, and the rest of the money can only meet the daily expenses, and you can't save any money every month, as a doctor, as a project leader, a genius who has made two major technological breakthroughs in a row, and only this salary level, the members of the team, the salary is only one or two thousand, and they can jump anywhere casually, and the treatment can be at least three or five times higher. ”

"It's just because you're there, you have dreams, and they're willing to follow you, that they never left."

"But they are all from prestigious universities, all have master's and doctoral degrees, but they only have 10,000 or 20,000 per month, and they have lived a hard life for a long time, which is unreasonable! Shouldn't you, as their boss, think about them? Do you keep asking them to suffer with you? ”

"Join my company, Dr. Pu, I'll give you an annual salary of 10 million! As long as you nod your head and agree, you will immediately give a settling-in allowance of 1 million, which will not be included in the annual salary. ”

"The other members of your team, all of whom have an annual salary of one million, as long as they nod their heads and agree, they will immediately give a settling-in allowance of 200,000 yuan, which is also not included in the annual salary."

"Five insurances and one housing fund, year-end bonuses, paid leave and other benefits are also not included."

"This salary level is your real value! I understand your value, so I give you the fairest treatment. ”

"How? That's my sincerity. ”

The other end of the phone.

Listen to Wei Ming finish these words.

Pu Weicai was completely stunned, and asked tremblingly: "How do you know so much about me?" ”

Of course, your wife complained to me in private.

"Don't ask me how I know, in short, I really want to recruit you to my company, and I have done full investigation and preparation, the reason why I know you so well proves how much I want you, you can see that there are other bosses, to the extent of me?"

"I'll think about it."

Pu Weicai covered his head, walked back and forth, his heart was numb, and said in a low voice: "Please give me a little time, let me think about it." ”

"Wait for the good news."

……

and so on.

That's two days.

Pu Weicai's mood was extremely entangled, and he tossed and turned for two consecutive nights, unable to sleep all night.

The work is also completely out of state, and I am in a trance all day long.

His heart was in turmoil.

There is no longer the calm and steadfastness of the past.

Looking at the partners and colleagues in the laboratory, looking at the faces, thinking of the housing problems and children's education problems they are facing, I feel a deep sense of guilt in my heart.

That's right, he himself is a little tired, he is happy to live in poverty, and he struggles for his ideals, but why should he let these brothers and sisters suffer together?

With their academic qualifications, their abilities, they can definitely live a better life, in his place, there are a few houses and cars, if the family encounters some difficulties, they have to borrow money everywhere, and then compare with their better classmates, it is simply reduced to the bottom.

And in Pu Weicai's eyes, they are engaged in the most noble profession!

But in reality, it is so depressed and embarrassed.

He was so guilty that he wanted to cry.

But pick up the mobile phone and call the phone of Mr. Wei, he will still insist on his idea: "Mr. Wei, I think it is better for your company to sell lenses to us, so that the time is faster." ”

"Boss~"

As soon as he put down his phone, a voice came from behind him: "Don't hesitate, let's nod and agree." ”

Turning his head, he saw that it was his right-hand man Xiang Guanglin.

"Guanglin, what are you talking about?" He looked puzzled.

"There's a boss who approached you and wanted to dig up our team, but we already know about it."

"You got it?" Pu Weicai was taken aback.

nodded to Guanglin and took a step forward: "Everyone knows, we look at your recent state and appearance, we are also very distressed, you are the best boss in the world, we are willing to follow you!" As long as you can make great achievements, you can accept a low salary, but ......"

His eyes were red: "We are all in our thirties and forties now, and we all have families and families, so it is impossible to think only about ourselves anymore." ”

"And the situation of the Institute of Optics and Mechanics has always been like this, the project funds are only a little bit every year, and they will never be enough; The salary will always be so much, and it will rise a little bit a year; The supervisor Hu who came last year, he didn't know anything, he knew how to point and point, issued some unrealistic task indicators, but did not reach them, ran to the institute and scolded each of us, and also engaged in the assessment system, which must be strictly managed, and raised his voice every day, as if he treated us as hens who could lay eggs with a few roars. ”

"Enough up, boss, you can tolerate this environment, I'm really fed up!"

"Guanglin! Don't talk nonsense. Pu Wei screamed, a little flustered.

"Boss, take us to change jobs together! This is the unanimous opinion of everyone, they are embarrassed to say, I'll say! ”

Xiang Guanglin raised his head sharply and said in a loud voice so that everyone could hear it.

"It's no small thing! Don't act rashly. Pu Wei was anxious and said.

"Even if that company is not very secure, we can set up our own company and go to the market to attract investment, and we can pull at least 500 million with your name as the boss! Either way, it's better than staying in a pool of stagnant water! ”

Xiang Guanglin's eyes were full of irrepressible ambition.

"Guanglin, don't say it! Let me think about it, let me think about it. ”

Pu Weicai felt that he had been forced to the edge of a cliff.

……

At night.

Back home.

As soon as he opened the door, in the living room, he saw his wife Wu Liqin sitting on the sofa, and on the glass coffee table in front of her, there were a bunch of things that surprised him.

Banknotes.

A wad of red cash.

It is covered with a full layer, and there may be tens or millions of them.

"This ...... Where does all this money come from? Pu Weicai asked, pointing to the banknotes.

"That Mr. Wei went back to Hangzhou today, and before leaving, he said that he would give you these settlement fees in advance." Wu Liqin said lightly.

"How can you just take this money?"

Pu Wei was in a hurry, and threw the bag on the sofa: "I haven't given Mr. Wei a clear answer, and I haven't agreed to his solicitation, how can you accept this money without authorization?" ”

"I promised for you!"

Wu Liqin patted the sofa angrily: "Lao Pu, I have been married to you for more than ten years, and I gave birth to two children for you, and when you got married, you said that you would definitely give me the best life and not let me suffer a little, but what was the result?" I have won dozens of various honorary awards, and the salary is still so much, with your ability, not to mention multimillionaires, even billionaires are easy, but what kind of life is our family living? ”

"Dozens of pounds of seafood can only be eaten occasionally, hundreds of pieces of clothing, you can't buy a few pieces a year, and occasionally the next restaurant and travel are all a luxury."

"Okay!"

She patted the table: "I'm a little tired, but marrying you, I admit it, but what about the child?" Other people's children go to aristocratic schools with tuition fees of more than 100,000 yuan, your children can only go to ordinary public schools, other people's children can only apply for cram schools of thousands of yuan, your children can only tutor themselves, and their academic performance is in the middle. ”

"Nonsense, how bad is the situation in our family? At least much better than most! Pu Weicai retorted.

"I don't care anyway!"

Wu Liqin turned his head, hugged his hands and said with a cold face: "If you don't accept this money and don't agree to change jobs, I will divorce you!" Get out of this home! ”

"Mom, don't leave us~"

"Dad, you better promise Mom, I don't want Mom to go!"

At this moment, the nine-year-old son and the seven-year-old daughter rushed out of the room, one grabbed his arm, the other threw himself into his arms, crying loudly, squeezing out tears.

Looking at this pair of drama elves, Pu Weicai's head was as big as a fight, and his face was full of wry smiles.

Then there were calls from various relatives and friends, all of whom encouraged him to change jobs decisively, and he was not at peace all night.

After two days of torture.

Pu Weicai finally relented and began to tend to agree to change jobs, but he still had one last condition, that is, Wei Ming must give him a standard-sized 14-inch lens to prove that Black Hole Technology can indeed solve the lens problem of EUV lithography machine.

January 21.

Wei Ming personally drove and came to Hesan City again.

In the trunk of his car, he not only brought a 14-inch lens, but also 8.4 million yuan in cash as a settling-in fee.

……

In the evening, high-end restaurants.

The five dining tables were filled with 43 technicians, including Pu Weicai, the leader of the optical and mechanical institute.

At the banquet, these 43 people collectively raised their hands and once again passed the decision to jump ship and join the Black Hole Technology Company, and then raised their glasses to the boss Wei Ming, drank happily, their faces were full of red light, and between their words, they were all looking forward to the future.

As for the 8.4 million settling-in allowance, as early as the afternoon after verifying the physical characteristics of the lens, the settling-in allowance was quickly distributed.

At this moment.

Looking at the more than forty brothers and sisters under his command, at the banquet, he showed such a happy and happy smile for the first time.

In Pu Weicai's heart, the guilt of the superior leaders of the Institute of Optics and Mechanics suddenly dissipated a lot.

"My decision is the right one!"

He took a sip of wine and said secretly.
