Chapter 78 Do I need to buy tickets for you?
”Welcome, welcome! How could I dislike you!” Kang Chi smiled and shook his hand immediately after hearing Yan Hui’s words, “To be honest, I was so excited that I almost jumped up when I heard that you were here.”
”Well…” Yan Hui also smiled innocently, “That’s good.”
In fact, if Yan Hui didn’t come to the door in person, Kang Chi would have wanted to invite him over a long time ago, but he didn’t expect Yan Hui to act faster than him…
And his attitude was so sincere.
A leader in the industry who is nearly 40 years old and more than a generation older than Kang Chi can actually be so humble and say that he wants to learn from him…
It’s very unexpected.
However, from the last Silicon Letter incident, we can also see that Dr. Yan has a strong sense of professional ethics.
It is not surprising that such a person who regards money as dirt also regards face as dirt.
”By the way, have you signed a non-compete agreement with Silicon Letter?”
Yan Hui nodded with some embarrassment: “Actually, when I saw you develop a floating belt single crystal furnace, I wanted to come over, but it was because of the non-compete agreement that I have been holding back until now…”
”Anyway, I definitely don’t want to go back to Silicon Letter. It just so happens that the situation in the silicon wafer market is so severe now. I think it may be an opportunity… Can you find a way to ask for a favor from the leaders above, or directly negotiate with Silicon Letter privately to resolve the non-compete agreement…”
Kang Chi nodded and roughly understood what he meant.
“I can try, but it may not work. If it doesn’t work, I can just pay the penalty for you…By the way, how much do you earn at Silicon Trust?”
“1.2 million a year.”
“Only 1.2 million?”
The top talents in this industry only earn this much?
Kang Chi thought it was at least three or four million…
“It’s mainly because I work on silicon wafers, so it may be relatively low. The salaries of those working on wafers are higher. But 1.2 million is enough to support my family… I haven’t bought a house in Shanghai.”
Kang Chi nodded: “Then I’ll calculate it for you based on 1.2 million, but we have double pay for overtime work!”
“!!?”
Yan Hui was stunned.
Overtime pay?
Dahan Silicon Industry actually pays overtime pay to researchers?
Researchers work overtime, but even dogs are afraid of it.
Aren’t you afraid of bankruptcy…
Kang Chi has never worried about this problem.
Anyway, his R&D costs are extremely low, and the company’s profitability is also very scary. What’s wrong with paying more money to researchers?
Dahan Silicon currently has more than 100 researchers, with an average annual salary of 250,000 yuan, which adds up to 25 million yuan a year. Including overtime pay and other benefits, the maximum is only 50 to 60 million yuan.
It’s just an extra 20 to 30 million yuan, why do you need to save it?
Pay more money to make your employees live a more comfortable life and be more loyal to the company, isn’t it good?
And with higher wages, employees’ work enthusiasm will naturally be higher. Even if one more single crystal furnace can be built a year, it will be completely worth it.
In fact, there have been calls on the Internet to reduce the treatment of actors and artists and increase the wages of researchers for a long time.
But most netizens can only talk about it and can’t change this situation at all.
Kang Chi also knew that his approach might, to some extent, break the rules of the industry.
But if he, who has the system, doesn’t dare to stand up and break this situation, then the research dogs will always be dogs, and a strong country in science and technology will always be just a dream.
When you can earn more than the research dogs who have studied hard for decades by starting a live broadcast and twisting your waist with a filter, who will still do research?
How can the country become strong if no one does research?
Acting by twisting your waist?
Next, Yan Hui talked to Kang Chi about the price increase of silicon wafers. Kang Chi didn’t have much to say about it. Although Dahan Silicon Industry might be at the center of this storm, in fact, Kang Chi could not do much except continue as planned.
In his opinion, this is a race against time. When he can penetrate the silicon wafer manufacturing industry, this battle will end.
The shorter the time, the smaller the loss.
After Yan Hui left, Kang Chi wanted to call Dong Jianyuan to ask for him, but Chen Hai suddenly found him.
Beside him, followed by another man with a similar body shape to Chen Hai.
”Dr. Kang, this is my colleague, Lai Qinglei. From now on, the two of us will take turns to provide close protection for you 24 hours a day.”
Kang Chi’s eyebrows jumped and asked, “Is someone going to shoot me?”
”Ahem… Don’t worry, not yet. You also know that the situation is special during this period. We are just in case. In addition to the close protection of the two of us, we will also temporarily take over the security of Dahan Silicon Industry. I hope you can understand.”
”Well, then I’ll leave it to you!” Kang Chi nodded solemnly, ”If I am shot, it will definitely be a huge loss to the country, really! I hope you can do your best to protect my life…”
Chen Hai: “…”
Lai Qinglei: “…”
Chen Hai was silent for a moment, and then he said with a smile: “Don’t worry, this kind of thing We know without you emphasizing… In addition, there is another very important thing. Director Lu of the Ministry of Science and Technology wants to meet you in person. ”
”Ah? Now?”
”Not now, but the sooner the better. Wait until you finish the more important things at hand and then leave.”
”Oh.” Kang Chi thought about it and it seemed that there was nothing particularly important, so he said directly, “Just give me half an hour to pack up.”
”Okay.”
”By the way, how do we get there? Do you want me to buy tickets for you?”
”No, we’ll take a plane.”
”…”
There is no airport in Gangcheng, so if we take a plane…
As Kang Chi expected, thirty minutes later, Chen Hai took Kang Chi to a secret base and took a Z-19 directly to Hongdu, and then transferred to a civil airliner there.
“Fuck, so cool!”
Kang Chi, who had never ridden a helicopter before, got on the Z-19 in one go, looking out excitedly.
”Last time I went home for the New Year, I wanted to build a helicopter to play with, but unfortunately I never had the time.”
”Build a helicopter?” Chen Hai was stunned, “Why are you building this thing? It’s a waste of your precious time.”
”But it’s convenient to go home…”
”…”
Chen Hai found that he was getting more and more unable to keep up with Kang Chi’s train of thought.
The main reason was that he didn’t know that the things Kang Chi built could be upgraded. There was no such thing as wasting time. Upgrading a helicopter…
I wonder what it will look like in the end? The kind in Avatar?
I’m a little excited just thinking about it.
“Ahem, if you want to take a helicopter home, you don’t actually have to build one yourself… If you apply, I think the leader will approve it.”
”And if it doesn’t work, you can buy one yourself. Civilian helicopters are not expensive now. The cheapest ones are only a few hundred thousand. But that’s definitely not suitable for you. You can consider buying a helicopter like the H130 that costs tens of millions.”
”Well, I’m not interested in buying a helicopter for the time being, unless I buy yours…”
”…”
