From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 275

Chapter 275: Chapter 169: Getting on the Right Track, Unburdened and Carefree

After all, it was still unknown how long it would take to develop the 10-nanometer chip manufacturing technology. If any problems arose because they couldn’t contact him, cleaning up the mess would be difficult.

Su Chen then discussed compensation with the two of them. His offer was extremely generous; experts of Professor Wu’s and Professor Chen’s caliber would receive an annual salary of one million, with bonuses calculated separately.

As for the other researchers, their salaries would be determined by their rank, but even the most junior researcher would earn over three hundred thousand a year.

You could count the number of research institutes in the entire country offering this kind of compensation on one hand.

With that out of the way, it was time to get down to business.

When Su Chen picked up the briefcase beside him, the eyes of both Professor Wu and Professor Chen were glued to it.

Just as he was about to take the files out, Su Chen paused. He turned to look at them and said, "Let’s do this one at a time. Who wants to go first?"

The two men were momentarily stunned but quickly understood. ’He’s trying to keep the information compartmentalized.’

Professor Chen stood up. "When you get old, even a little tea is hard to hold. I’ll go use the restroom first."

With that, he walked out briskly, his energetic stride showing no signs of a weak bladder.

Su Chen, of course, knew this was just an excuse from the old professor and shook his head with a smile.

Once Professor Chen had closed the door, Su Chen took two sets of documents from his briefcase and handed them directly to Professor Wu.

"These are the manufacturing technologies for the 10nm chip, as well as the lithography and etching machines. I’m handing them all over to you. You know the required security protocols better than I do!"

As Professor Wu reached out to take the documents, his hands trembled.

He never imagined Su Chen would trust him so completely. He’d just handed over the 10nm chip manufacturing technology—the entire set, not just a piece to work on before getting the rest.

This trust alone made Professor Wu feel the weight on his shoulders grow even heavier.

Professor Wu casually flipped open a couple of pages, intending to get a general idea of the documents. To his surprise, after just two or three pages, he was completely captivated by the contents.

And so he stood there, flipping through the two thick stacks of documents, completely oblivious to Su Chen and... Professor Chen, who was still waiting outside.

Seeing Professor Wu so engrossed, Su Chen couldn’t help but clear his throat. "AHEM— Professor Wu... perhaps you should wait until you’re back at the institute to study these."

Hearing Su Chen call his name, Professor Wu snapped out of it, looking a bit embarrassed. He closed the documents and placed them in a file folder he had prepared earlier.

"Mr. Su, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back and start studying these materials," Professor Wu said, already starting to get up and leave.

Su Chen quickly waved his hand, signaling him not to be in such a hurry. "I’m not finished yet! What’s the rush?"
