Facing Lin Benjian's slightly angry eyes, Li Qiu said without changing his expression: "Don't look at me with that look. I'm not kidding you, and I'm not kidding you. My boss really didn't follow me."

I asked how much money I wanted to invest. What he said was: as long as your company can produce the most advanced lithography machine in the world, he will invest as much as you want. No matter the cost, there is no upper limit."

If you are an ordinary entrepreneur, hearing such words, you will probably be moved to tears, and you may even shout with joy: "You are really my Bole."

However, Lin Benjian is not a newcomer to society. He has rich experience. He has met many investors in the beautiful country and has also seen all kinds of scammers. It is precisely because what Li Qiu said is too upright.

, Lin Benjian didn’t quite believe it, and felt that Li Qiu was just playing tricks on him.

"Hey, what if I ask for one billion? Is your boss willing to give it?"

Li Qiu didn't think there was anything wrong with Lin Benjian asking for one billion. After all, Lu Yiming paid him hundreds of thousands or millions every time he went on a mission. In comparison, he felt that the one billion was a bit cheap.

.

After all, this is a photolithography machine.

"Give me a minute and I'll call my boss."

Li Qiu took out his mobile phone and dialed Lu Yiming's number: "Boss, he said he wants one billion."

"OK."

"no problem."

"Um."

After a few brief exchanges, Li Qiu hung up the phone and said to Lin Benjian: "Congratulations, Mr. Lin, my boss said there is no problem."

This change made Lin Benjian a little confused. He scratched his head and said, "What's the problem?"

Li Qiu smiled and said: "Didn't you just say you wanted one billion? Our boss agreed and asked you when you can sign the contract."

"WTF...your boss agrees to invest one billion in my startup?"

Lin Benjian didn't know for a moment whether there was something wrong with him or with Li Qiu's boss.

What the hell?

I'm kidding!

Could it really be one billion?

"No, Mr. Li, when I said one billion, it was a metaphor. I didn't mean that I really want to start a business with one billion."

Li Qiu said: "But our boss said that we can invest one billion in you."

"..."

Jiang Shangyi looked at the resignation letter on the table, and then at Lin Benjian sitting opposite him, feeling a little confused for a moment.

"What are you doing? Did I not let you do that, making you feel wronged? There is nothing we can do about this matter. It's not that I don't let you do it, it's that our company can't directly compete with those big companies...

"

Lin Benjian interrupted Jiang Shangyi and said: "Mr. Jiang, I understand that you are also doing good for the company. And I am not wronged. I have received a lot of care from you at TSM, Mr. Jiang, and my colleagues are also very good to me."

Jiang Shangyi was even more incomprehensible now and asked: "Then why do you want to leave? Are you not satisfied with the salary?"

Lin Benjian hesitated and said, "That's not true."

"You still said no!"

Jiang Shangyi suddenly felt that he had grasped the key point: "Did a headhunting company come to you? What conditions did they give you to come to me to resign so quickly? Tell me, what they can give you, I

TSM can do the same!"

Lin Benjian couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Mr. Jiang, you may not be able to give this."

"Can't give it? How is it possible? Tell me, how much did they give?"

Jiang Shangyi couldn't help but laugh. In his opinion, even if a headhunter poached Lin Benjian, how much salary would he be able to offer? Triple it would be a lot, right?

Although it is a bit outrageous to directly triple Lin Benjian's salary, TSM can still afford the money. Just think of it as a matter of reputation. Lin Benjian's talent is here, as long as he does a project, the salary is

The money will come back immediately.

"One billion."

"What the hell? A billion?"

Jiang Shangyi immediately couldn't sit still.

He stood up.

"Are you kidding me? Spending one billion to poach you?"

Lin Benjian laughed and said: "Haha, isn't it incredible? My reaction was similar to yours at the time. I also felt that I was not worth one billion."

Jiang Shangyi felt that either he was crazy or the world was crazy.

God has mercy on him. He couldn't even afford one billion, let alone give it to Lin Benjian.

Now he finally understood why Lin Benjian had to resign. This was not a job-hopping at all, but a move to a golden opportunity.

If he hadn't been embarrassed, he would have asked himself if he could leave too.

After all, he is the chief operating officer of TSM and receives a high salary every month. Jiang Shangyi is still very affectionate for the company, so he still insists on retaining Lin Benjian and said: "Ahem, I think you still have to think clearly about starting a business.

The risk is very high, and one billion does not necessarily mean insurance."

Lin Benjian shook his head and said: "Mr. Lu said that if we make one billion, we will split the account 28/20, and any loss will be his."

Jiang Shangyi: "..."

"Ahem, do you have Mr. Lu's phone number?"

"Yes, what's wrong, Mr. Jiang?"

"That's right. I also want to get to know Mr. Lu. After all, more friends lead to more paths."

Half an hour later, Jiang Shangyi personally sent Lin Benjian to the gate of the company, and reluctantly said to Lin Benjian: "Old Lin, come back to the company more often in the future and come to me to drink tea and chat."

When we meet again in the future, we might have to call him Mr. Lin. After working in the workplace for so many years, Jiang Shangyi knows deeply not to look down on anyone. After all, you never know when the skirt of the goddess of luck will be underestimated by whom.

Pick it up gently.

A few days later, Lin Benjian arrived in Zhonghai on a private plane.

Lu Yiming drove a luxury car to greet him in person and gave him a warm hug as soon as he met: "Welcome to Zhonghai. I have prepared the reception banquet. Please come this way."

Lin Benjian was flattered and said quickly: "Mr. Lu is so polite."

"Haha, it should be."

Sitting in the car, Lu Yiming smiled and asked Lin Benjian, "How is it? Mr. Lin, have you thought of a name for the new company?"

Lin Benjian asked in surprise: "Should I come up with the name of the company?"

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "Yes, I told you, I only invest and don't care about other things."

Although Lu Yiming had said this before, Lin Benjian did not expect that Lu Yiming could be so thorough as a hands-off shopkeeper.

After thinking for a while, Lin Benjian said: "I feel that this is the darkest time for both myself and the current field of domestic lithography machines. Why not call our company Dawn, Dawn Optics, meaning

To break through the darkness and welcome the dawn."

Lu Yiming said approvingly: "This is a good name."

For Lin Benjian, the breaking of dawn means that he broke through the dark years in his life, and for Lu Yiming, the breaking of dawn is the new hope for Xia State to break through the blockade and establish an independent semiconductor industry chain.

If you want to do big things, you can't save small amounts of money.

Therefore, Lu Yiming was also very generous to Lin Benjian and continued: "Don't worry, for Daybreak Optics, I don't have any requirements for profitability. The only requirement is a technological breakthrough. Xia Guo must independently master the complete fourth-generation lithography."

machine technology. The initial investment is one billion, and additional amounts will be added depending on the situation. Believe in my determination, no matter how much money I spend, I will build the lithography machine."

After hearing Lu Yiming's assurance, Lin Benjian finally felt relieved.

After all, this is the promise of Asia's richest man, and it is quite substantial.

And Lin Benjian also plans to use Lu Yiming to realize his entrepreneurial dream. How can it be better to be a worker than to be your own boss?

Not to mention that only Lu Yiming is willing to support immersive lithography technology now.

The two hit it off immediately.

Within a few days, Dawn Optics, with a registered capital of one billion, was quietly established.

All this was done quietly and very low-key. After all, he didn't want to fire a gun into the sky to attract the attention of "fellow villagers" before he even entered the village.

Developing photolithography machines is tantamount to digging into the US imperialist's home, which is not much different from digging out the US imperialist's oil, so it is better to keep a low profile.

However, as the richest man in Asia and the only top tycoon in China with a net worth of over 100 billion, Lu Yiming is like a firefly in the dark night, so conspicuous and outstanding. Even if he wants to keep a low profile, he has to wait for others to let him.

Don't let it.

In early 2002, what was the concept of assets worth 130 billion?

You know, the second best brothers Liu Yongxing and Liu Yong only have a net worth of 8.3 billion, while Lu Yiming's assets are more than fifteen times that of them!

The key is that it took Lu Yiming just three and a half years to transform from a poor student with only 12.35 yuan in his pocket to the much-anticipated richest man in Asia.
