CHAPTER 1712 OUR OWN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
Jiang Ning's words made Zhang Heng feel less nervous. Being complimented was always something that made others feel happy, and Jiang Ning seemed to be someone incredibly amazing.
Otherwise, there was no way he would have dared to come directly to Lee Group to poach him!
"Mr Jiang, you're too kind," said Zhang Heng humbly.
"I'm not, I'm just being honest," replied Jiang Ning. "I'll go straight to the point. Lin Group needs you and so does the country, and that's why I've come to look for you.
You can tell me if you have any concerns.”
"I'll try my best to meet your requirements when it comes to your renumeration package, working environment etc."
Zhang Heng took a deep breath.
He had been thinking about this for the past few days.
He had been in this line for some time now, and he knew very clearly that all the elites of this industry was found outside of China. He was not valued in China, and he wasn't given the right working environment nor facilities.
He had little space to develop and wasn't able to feel any sense of achievement. Moreover, the renumeration package was never as attractive as anything other countries offered him.
"I just want to ask one question, Mr Jiang. Why does Lin Group want to go into this industry?"
"I hope that our country can have its very own integrated circuit," replied Jiang Ning simply.
But these simple words made Zhang Heng tremble all over and his eyes reddened immediately.
Their very own integrated circuit!
The very core of high tech advancement had always been in the control of other people. Those outside of the industry had no idea what Jiang Ning's words meant, but someone who was an elite of the industry like Zhang Heng knew better than anyone else.
Without their own integrated circuit, it was the same as having your throat constantly being gripped by others, and your life would always be decided by others!
"We need to develop our own IC, so we need talents who will be able to do just that. And you are someone that we need," said Jiang Ning seriously. "Of course, I won't force you to join us, even though I am fully capable of that. You can take the next few days to think about it before giving me an answer.”
"No need." Zhang Heng took a deep breath and trembled. 'Til go with you!”
"But Lee Group..."
"You don't have to worry about this side of things. Lee Group is Lin Group's partner and we share all the resources. You'll get way more by going to Lin Group than staying in Lee Group."
"But of course," Jiang Ning smiled. "I know that money is meaningless to you compared to the dream that you have."
Zhang Heng nodded.
He started getting rather excited and almost couldn't believe how he had made such a big decision just because of a few words from Jiang Ning.
His family and children were here, but his parents, friends and emotions were all in China. His roots were also back in China!
Their very own integrated circuit... This belongs to : ©.
He had chosen to go into this industry more than a decade ago precisely because of this thought. And now, he finally had a chance to fulfil this dream.
"Lin Group will give you the chance to fulfil your dream," said Jiang Ning.
He knew that poaching others didn't depend only on promising the other party money and status.
For people like Zhang Heng, there were things that were even more important than material things. Others couldn't give these intangible things to him, but Jiang Ning could. Lin Group could.
Jiang Ning sat in his chair calmly and he made others feel that he was a reliable man. His words convinced others easily, and made others strangely trust him from the bottom of their hearts.
There was no way of understanding or explaining how any of this happened.
"Mr Jiang.” Zhang Heng saw Jiang Ning to the door of Lee Group and he calmed down slightly. "If Lin Group really wants to make headway into this industry, then there are a few people that you must get back into China!”
