Chapter 50 Singularity Algorithm Deployed
"Does your so-called cooperation mean providing a solution immediately after I raise a question? Or can you immediately calculate its feasibility after I draw up a blueprint?"
"If you can't do that, then it's not cooperation."
Lin Yu's voice turned cold.
"That's called dragging the team down."
Li Jianbin's face flushed red and then turned pale.
Each problem Lin Yu wrote down seemed like an insurmountable mountain, standing in his way. His proud engineering experience appeared so pale and powerless in the face of these imaginative ideas.
He finally understood.
In Lin Yu's mind, these people were not qualified to have an "equal dialogue" with him.
Chen Jiefang gave Lin Yu a deep look and sighed inwardly.
This kid is like a peerless divine weapon without a scabbard, sharp enough to cut through everything, and sharp enough to wound anyone who tries to get close to him.
"Jianbin".
Chen Jiefang patted Li Jianbin on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Calm down first. Lin Yu's suggestion isn't entirely without merit."
He turned to Lin Yu, adopting a more consultative tone: "Lin Yu, how about this? We'll set up a special task force to tackle the Loongson chip problem. You'll be the chief scientist, leading the overall technical direction. Jianbin will be the chief engineer, responsible for engineering implementation. You two will be equals, and if there are any disagreements, I'll make the final decision. What do you think?"
This was the biggest concession Chen Jiefang could make, giving Lin Yu real power while saving face for Li Jianbin.
Everyone thought Lin Yu would take this opportunity to back down.
"no."
Lin Yu refused decisively.
"My project doesn't need two voices."
He looked at Chen Jiefang with unwavering determination. "Don't try to fool me with empty titles like chief scientist. What I want is absolute control."
The atmosphere froze again.
This kid really won't suffer even the slightest loss.
Chen Jiefang gave a bitter smile to himself.
"I'll give you absolute control."
A cool, clear female voice suddenly came from the doorway.
Xia Zijing walked in carrying two scorching hot laptops.
She placed the computer on the table to let it cool down, then looked at Chen Jiefang, her tone calm but carrying an undeniable authority.
"All the R&D expenses for the Loongson project are currently being fully borne by our company, Singularity Algorithm. In return, we require 30% of the profits from commercial chips over the next ten years after the project's successful development as a return."
"In addition, the salaries of all members of Professor Li's team will be paid by our company, according to the standards for a Penguin P10 level chief scientist."
"As the investor, we demanded the appointment of a single person in charge of the project. That person is Lin Yu."
boom!
Everyone in the control center was completely stunned by Xia Zijing's words.
How can a private company fund the nation's most important scientific research project?
Do we still need to pay salaries to the entire national team?
What... what kind of incredible feat is this?!
Chen Jiefang and Li Jianbin were both stunned. They were still arguing heatedly about the division of power within the project, and now this guy was trying to pull the rug out from under them and turn the entire project into his private property?!
"Nonsense!"
Li Jianbin instinctively retorted, "The Loongson project is a top national secret; how can we allow private capital to get involved!"
"Professor Li, you've been held hostage for thirty years."
Xia Zijin retorted without hesitation, "The country invested hundreds of billions, only to be met with an unworkable architecture and a power consumption barrier. Now, we're using our own money to forge a new path. If we succeed, the technology belongs to the country, and we only want the commercial profits. If we fail, we'll lose our own money."
She paused, then delivered the most fatal blow.
"No matter how the country calculates it, it's a win-win situation."
Chen Jiefang's pupils suddenly contracted.
He stared intently at Xia Zijing, then glanced at Lin Yu beside him, who seemed to think, "This has nothing to do with me."
He suddenly understood.
These two little guys never intended to play by the rules of the system from the very beginning.
One uses absolute technological dominance to shatter your confidence.
Another option is to use absolute capital power to buy your future.
Taken together, they form an unsolvable, openly calculated scheme.
Chen Jiefang remained silent for a full minute.
"I need to consult with my superiors."
He spoke slowly.
After saying that, he picked up the red secure phone on the table and went into the inner office.
Fifteen minutes later.
Chen Jiefang came out with an extremely complex expression on his face.
He looked at Lin Yu as if he were looking at a monster.
"The higher-ups... have agreed."
"They've gone mad! The higher-ups must have gone mad!"
When Chen Jiefang announced the decision, a middle-aged researcher behind Li Jianbin couldn't help but whisper in surprise.
The nation's most important assets were handed over to a newly established private company at a cost of half-selling and half-giving away, and then put into full control by an eighteen-year-old boy.
This is unprecedented in the history of scientific research in the People's Republic of China.
However, Chen Jiefang's next words struck everyone like a thunderbolt.
"Furthermore, instructions from higher authorities are in place to ensure a high degree of autonomy and flexibility for the project."
Chen Jiefang paused for a moment, then spoke with difficulty, "Effective immediately, Chief Engineer Li Jianbin and his core team will be removed from their original organizational structure and their personnel relations will be transferred to Qidian Algorithm Company, where they will be under the unified leadership of Project Manager Lin Yu."
Removed from the staff!
For scientists like Li Jianbin who have dedicated their lives to the national system, these four words are more painful than death.
This means they went from being citizens of the state to working for bosses.
Li Jianbin swayed, his face turning deathly pale. He would have collapsed to the ground if his assistant hadn't been there to support him.
"Old Chen..."
His voice was trembling.
"That's an order, Jianbin."
A hint of reluctance flashed in Chen Jiefang's eyes, but his tone was resolute: "The superiors' exact words were, 'To accomplish extraordinary things, extraordinary people and extraordinary methods are needed.' Your mission is to spare no effort to assist Lin Yu in developing the chip!"
Lin Yu had no interest in these personnel changes.
He pulled up a chair, sat down directly in front of the control panel, and connected the two hot laptops to the data cables.
"Alright, stop wailing."
Without looking up, Lin Yu gave the order, "Professor Li, you and your team have half an hour to face reality. In half an hour, I want to see everyone back at their workstations."
"Xia Zijin, send the company's organizational structure contract to Mr. Chen. As for Wang Lei, have him bring his team to the base immediately; we need to rewrite a project management software."
"Also, notify Shen Yue of Sequoia Capital and tell her to use all her resources to find something for me globally."
Lin Yu typed a few keys on the keyboard, and an extremely complex molecular structure diagram appeared on the big screen.
