Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 530 Transsion Telecom: First 4G Base Station Completed

After analyzing the situation on the other side, Li Qing showed renewed sincerity.

"You've been a member of the foundation's review committee for some time now, so you should be familiar with our working style."

Even though you are a foreigner and may have other tasks on your hands, you should still have some understanding of how we do things.

We do not engage in political censorship, nor do we interfere with your choices. As long as what you produce is correct and can drive the development of the entire industry, we will not interfere.

These heartfelt words instantly moved Brooks, after all...

After all, he did have a mission, and because of those people's urging, he had also released a few good projects...

I didn't expect them to know.

Moreover, their foundation is for human progress, while their foundation is just trying to ride on their coattails.

This situation...

Thinking about this, he suddenly realized that they had already lost this technological war.

"Professor, as long as you are willing to join Transsion, the laboratory will operate independently, you can choose your own team, and the annual R&D budget of 20 billion yuan will be in your hands."

Whether your research findings are patented or published as papers is entirely up to you.

Of course, the company has the right to dispose of it.

"20 billion?" Brooks's focus at this moment was entirely on the funding. "Chinese currency?"

"US dollars." Li Qing chuckled. Some people still didn't take Chuanyin's resources seriously. "Besides, this is a basic budget item, which can be increased at any time if needed."

After all, our boss said that talent is priceless.

Brooks was once again taken aback by Transsion's enormous budget.

No wonder they're able to achieve such results.

After all, his annual funding for the entire Track Lab at MIT was less than $3000 million, and he also had to deal with approvals and was subject to restrictions at every turn.

With $20 billion, he could do every single experiment he wanted.

This will inevitably lead to a great deal of results.

But he shook his head: "No, my family is all in America, and I have more than a dozen doctoral students."

They are my core; what will happen to them if I leave?

You don't need to worry about your family at all.

Li Qing had been waiting to hear those words.

"Your wife likes Impressionist art, so we can arrange for her to become a senior curatorial consultant at the Shenzhen Museum of Contemporary Art, where she will be fully responsible for overseas exhibitions."

Your son works as an algorithm engineer in Silicon Valley and is interested in joining Transsion AI Labs in China; there are certain positions available there.

It's okay if he doesn't come; we will never force him. Apart from America, we can arrange for him to go to any country he wants.

This doesn't mean America is bad, but rather that joining Transsion might cause some harm to your family.

Brooks understood that it would be better if he stayed; once he left, his family would definitely suffer... and he certainly couldn't stay in America.

But it would be better if they all came to China. As for scheming... he didn't take it seriously. After all, not every country is so demanding of top talents.

He only learned what freedom truly meant after leaving America.

"As for your students, as long as they are willing to come to China with you, we will give them all formal research positions, double their salaries, and provide talent apartments and settling-in allowances."

It's okay if you don't want to come in person; you can continue to provide remote guidance. I believe you have other friends at MIT who can take over...

We can cover all the expenses in between.

If you accept this, we will resolve everything within a month, and you will not need to go through the process again.

"You...you've even prepared these plans."

Brooks looked at him, a complex expression flashing in his eyes, after all, it was similar to investigating a household registration.

"This is our sincerity," Li Qing said earnestly. "We genuinely want to invite you; we're not just sending you a random offer."

Regarding scientific research, we can provide everything you need. We can also help you settle in with your family and students whom you worry about.

The last bit of resentment in Brooks' heart was completely eliminated.

After all, he had seen countless offers to poach people during his many years at school.

Google, Intel, and Sanson have all offered him lucrative contracts, and his colleagues and students have also received such offers.

But never before have all concerns been addressed in advance like Transsion.

More importantly, he sensed agreement from Li Qian's words, and of course, he had also come to understand the industry over the past few months.

Here, he can truly focus on his research without having to worry about his mood or deal with unreasonable demands from the military.

There's no need to write a bunch of fancy but impractical application reports to apply for funding, or even attend all sorts of boring parties.

After studying silicon for so long, his biggest dream is to see silicon-based chips truly mass-produced.

This dream seems increasingly out of reach in America, but it seems to be a real possibility here.

He walked along the seawall for a while longer, and throughout the process, Li Qing did not take any action, after all, he believed that the other party would return.

Sure enough, Brooks returned about 5 minutes later.

"In my life, all I want to do is see silicon wafers leave the laboratory."

If you really keep your word... I'm willing to give it a try.

The weight that had been hanging over Li Qing's heart for so long finally lifted. He extended his hand and said, "Professor Brooks, welcome to Huaxing."

…………

Meanwhile, in Nigeria, Lax...

On a hill in the suburbs, a brand-new base station tower has been officially completed.

Unlike other iron towers, this one is marked with the Transsion Telecom logo.

The grand promise we made earlier has finally come true.

The area was surrounded by local consumers, a dense, dark mass...

This place is like a gathering of coal lumps.

"Is this a 4G signal?"

A black lump of coal points at the signal indicator on the phone.

"Black Coal Ball, that's... 3G. Even though it has four icons, it's still the old network. Only those of us who have signed up for the new plan have it."

After saying that, he proudly took out his Transsion S5 Africa Edition and showed off his package.

$15 per month!

But many people are more moved by the base station, after all, it was designed and assembled by Chinese engineers.

This is a landmark achievement, as it means that communication base stations in Africa are no longer built by foreign engineers, but with their participation.

At this moment, Adebayo, the president of Transsion Africa, also put on the local batik clothing as before and stood on the makeshift platform.

Holding a Chinese version of the S5 in his hand, he smiled broadly and kept stroking the base station with his fingers.

As a Nigerian and Transsion's highest-ranking official in Africa, he held considerable prestige in the region.

"Brothers and sisters."

In order to make sure everyone could hear clearly, August specially picked up a megaphone.

"Today is a good day! Our subsidiary, Transsion Telecom, has built its first 4G experimental base station in Nigeria!"

These are communication base stations built by us Africans with our own hands!
