Who would still be a social slave when they are so rich?

Chapter 250: Want to poach my people again?

At the gate of the courtyard, Xiao Chen saw a group of five treasure hunters carrying large and small bags, and a hint of doubt flashed in their eyes.

"Why are you guys here? Didn't I tell you to go home and rest for a while?"

After the five of them returned from Irkutsk, Xiao Chen arranged a one-month vacation for them, and only half a month had passed.

And...why did the five of them come to Su Chen? They returned to the imperial capital without even saying hello to him?

"Boss! It was Brother Fei who asked us to come here. He also asked us to prepare our passports as we might be going abroad again." A leading man in the five-member treasure hunting group stepped forward and responded.

Hearing this... Xiao Chen's face instantly fell, and he muttered in his heart: "Is that bastard Su Chen trying to poach my people again?"

There is no need to talk about Chen Fei and Xiao Peng earlier, they were "forced" to give themselves to Su Chen, but the later four people, Tian Di Xuan Huang, were different, they were forced to leave by Su Chen.

But looking at the current situation, it seems that this treasure hunting team of five is about to be lost.

You have to know that there were less than a hundred people in his training camp, but all the top elites were poached by Su Chen.

"I'm afraid that my training camp is specially designed to train talents for Su Chen." A ridiculous thought popped up in Xiao Chen's mind.

“吱吖～”

The gate of the courtyard opened and Fade Chen walked out with a smile on his face.

But when he saw Xiao Chen standing beside him, the smile on his face froze immediately.

"Boss...Boss! Why are you here?" Chen Fei suddenly felt like a guilty thief who was caught by his master.

Yesterday Su Chen arranged for him to contact the five-member group. Without thinking, he directly called the five people and called them back from their hometowns.

When the five treasure hunting team learned that it was Su Chen who arranged it personally, they packed up their things and flew directly back to the imperial capital without any delay.

There was no way. Who could blame Su Chen for being so generous? Plus, he had a close relationship with their leader, so they couldn't find any reason to refuse. So they thought of taking advantage of the break to follow Su Chen out for a walk.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Xiao Chen directly. The five treasure hunters had no choice but to lower their heads and act like quails.

"Hmph~" Xiao Chen glared at Chen Fei unhappily, then looked at the group of five people who were lowering their heads beside him, and then walked quickly into the courtyard, as if he was going to settle accounts with Su Chen.

Seeing Xiao Chen disappear from sight, the five treasure hunters breathed a sigh of relief, but their faces were full of confusion, "Brother Fei, what... should we do?"

"Haha~ It's okay. Didn't you see that the boss didn't say anything? At most, I'll train you for a few more days after you come back."

After hearing about the training for a few days, the five people only had a bitter smile on their faces.

"Okay, stop thinking too much. Come in quickly. Maybe after you come back this time, Mr. Su will directly poach you!" Chen Fei also knew how to comfort people. No matter what the answer was, he would just make a big promise and leave it there.

The expressions of the five treasure hunters improved a little after hearing this. After all, there have been so many precedents.

Besides, it has already come to this, there is no point in thinking about other things. He tightened the luggage in his hands and followed Chen Fei into the room.

On the other side, Xiao Chen searched around and finally found Su Chen lying on the sofa playing with his mobile phone in the living room in the backyard.

"Uh~Brother Chen, why are you here!" Su Chen saw Xiao Chen walking in aggressively, and felt that he had bad intentions.

"If I hadn't come today, I wouldn't know that someone was targeting my men." Xiao Chen sat on the sofa opposite and said to Su Chen.

Su Chen naturally understood who he was talking about. He smiled and said, "Brother Chen, you are being too polite. Your people and my people? Aren't we all family?"

After saying that, he picked up the teapot on the table and poured Xiao Chen a cup of steaming tea.

Xiao Chen rolled his eyes at Su Chen, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then asked, "Where are you going? I heard from them that you were going abroad. You've only been back for a few days, why are you going out again?"

Su Chen did not hide his itinerary and directly told the whole story in detail, including the bad things about his elder brother Chen Fan.

When Su Chen finished speaking, Xiao Chen's brows also frowned slightly, "It's better to be careful in everything. I feel more at ease if Chen Fei and the five-member team are with you."

"Also... I have a piece of advice for you. When you are in Southeast Asia, don't trust people from China. You must remember this."

It is said that no matter how careful you are, you can never guard against a thief within your own home. When you meet people from your hometown when you are away from home, you will definitely feel friendly and will unconsciously let down your guard. This also provides opportunities for those with ulterior motives to take advantage of you.

"Hahaha~ Don't worry. Do you think I'm the kind of person who is easily deceived?" Su Chen didn't take Xiao Chen's advice too seriously. After all, with Chen Fei and six other people by his side and the backup plan he had prepared, he was not afraid of encountering any problems.

If you really encounter it, just think of it as adding some fun to the journey.

Seeing Su Chen's confident look, Xiao Chen didn't say anything more.

"By the way, Brother Chen, you came here today because of what we talked about yesterday."

I think the matter of the rubidium mine has come to fruition.

Xiao Chen shook his head slightly when he heard this. "I'm not here today just for the matter of the rubidium mine. I also have some other things to discuss with you."

Hearing this, Su Chen couldn't help but sit up straighter. He also understood the meaning of these words, which must be about him.

Su Chen did not answer, but just looked at Xiao Chen quietly waiting for his next words.

Xiao Chen didn't waste any time and started talking directly.

"You also know that ASML banned the sale of lithography machines to China for some reason some time ago. I didn't expect that TSMC also officially announced yesterday that it would no longer sell any chips to the mainland."

"I came here today to ask you when you plan to expand your chip project. The lithography machine and other related technologies should be mature now."

"TSMC is causing trouble?" Su Chen's brows furrowed instantly. He had learned about the domestic chip situation before. Most of them were imported chips manufactured by TSMC. There were only a few domestically produced chips, and they were all mid- and low-end chips.

"Well, the Bald Eagle is behind this. They have started to implement a materials blockade on certain domestic industries. The development of many companies has been restricted." Xiao Chen laid out the matter directly.

"Brother Chen, you also know the situation on Zheng Island. I have no idea how far the chip project has developed. I can only make a decision after calling and asking!"

Hearing this, Xiao Chen smiled, "Well, I know that all the people who had been stationed on Zheng Island have evacuated today, and the phone calls can be made now."

Hearing this, Su Chen picked up the phone on the table and called Professor Wu in front of Xiao Chen.

Just as Xiao Chen said, the call was connected immediately. After several rings, Professor Wu's voice came from the phone.

After briefly asking about the latest situation of the research base, Su Chen changed the subject and went straight to the point.

Listening to Professor Wu's voice coming from the other end of the phone, Su Chen's smile became even wider. Unexpectedly, in just two months, Professor Wu not only led his researchers to fully understand the technology of 10nm chips, but also achieved a yield rate of %!

Even the 7nm chip technology that Su Chen gave him has been almost researched and can be put into experiments as early as next month.

As for the production line of photolithography machines, it has been successfully developed, and each production line can only produce five photolithography machines per month.

Currently, the research base has successfully established a lithography machine factory and two production lines have been put into operation.

The chip warehouse already stores more than 10 nm chips. Even if Su Chen didn't call Professor Wu today, Professor Wu would call him to explain the situation.

It is not a good thing to keep so many chips in stock, they must be sold.

After Professor Wu finished introducing the progress of the chip project, Su Chen fell into deep thought.

Should we sell lithography machines or chips? This is the question that Su Chen is most entangled with now.

Su Chen soon made a decision, which was to sell the lithography machine and chips together!

Whether it is lithography machines or 10nm chips, they are simply hot commodities for many domestic technology companies.

As long as you dare to sell, there will definitely be someone who dares to buy it, and the kind that will be snapped up.

"Professor Wu, put other things aside for now. Speed ​​up the manufacturing of the lithography production line and expand the number of lithography machines in the chip factory. Speed ​​up the production of chips and try to seize the market vacated by TSMC in a short period of time."

After Su Chen told Professor Wu about the affairs of ASML and TSMC, Professor Wu was so angry that he said he would let them also taste the bitter fruit.

After hanging up the phone, Su Chen briefly described the situation of the research base and the chip factory.

"Okay. I will notify those technology companies of your lithography machines and chips. But I suggest you set up a dedicated company. This will be more convenient."

"After all, there are still many secrets in the Zhengdao Park. If we go there, it will inevitably attract other people's attention." Xiao Chen did not forget to remind.

Su Chen also agreed with this suggestion, "Well, I will let them set up a company then!"

After talking about chips and lithography machines, Su Chen took the initiative to ask about rubidium ore. The result was a bit disappointing, as he only ordered ten tons of rubidium ore.

However, other rubidium mines also had ideas and planned to exchange for relevant benefits through certain channels. Xiao Chen did not tell Su Chen in detail how they would do it.

Of course, Su Chen did not ask deliberately. It was better not to know about such things. He just counted the money.

After having lunch together at noon, Xiao Chen left in a hurry again.

Su Chen and his group packed their luggage and headed straight for the airport.

……

This time, Su Chen did not arrange his own private plane to fly to Singapore, but took the China Southern Airlines boyin787 passenger plane.

The reason was very simple. His elder brother was coming to pick him up at the airport. If he took a private plane, he could only use the business jet channel. In order not to arouse his elder brother's suspicion, he had no choice but to accept it.

Of course, Su Chen did not compromise and directly purchased the first-class ticket. As for Chen Fei and the other six, they were arranged to travel in the business class.

Originally, Su Chen's plan was to buy first-class tickets, but Chen Fei and his friends were unwilling to do so, saying that it was not suitable. Seeing their determination, Su Chen could only settle for the next best option.

Singapore Changi International Airport!
The journey was uneventful, and there was no such thing as a first-class affair. At most, the stewardess exposed herself a little while serving him.

The plane landed smoothly. When most people had left, Su Chen and his party got off the plane and went directly to the exit through the jet bridge.

Singapore is indeed a tourist city. The exit was full of people coming to pick up people, each holding a pick-up sign with their name on it.

Su Chen took a quick look and did not see any trace of his elder brother Chen Fan, nor did he even see the pick-up sign with his name on it.

"Could it be that they haven't arrived yet?" Su Chen muttered to himself and walked towards the outside of the airport with Chen Fei and others.

I plan to call my eldest brother Chen Fan after leaving the airport.

"Sir~ your elder brother wouldn't stand you up, would he?" Chen Fei said in a low voice.

"Who knows? Let's call and see if anyone answers. If not, we'll find a place to settle down first. Also..." Su Chen paused, turned around and looked at Fade Chen and the others and said, "If you want to call me Mr., just call me Brother Chen, so that you won't be caught."

Chen Fei and the five treasure hunting team are not very old, all of them are in their twenties. The oldest Chen Fei is one year younger than Su Chen, so there is no problem in calling him brother.

Several people looked at each other and nodded silently, "Got it, Brother Chen!"

Hearing the call "Brother Chen", Su Chen felt inexplicably awkward and thought of someone far away in the imperial capital.

After leaving the airport, Su Chen found a quiet place nearby, took out his cell phone and called Chen Fan again.

The phone rang for more than ten seconds. Just when Su Chen thought no one answered and was about to hang up, he heard Chen Fan's voice coming from the phone.

"Brother, are you here? Please wait for me for a moment. The car just had some problems on the road. It will be here in ten minutes at most!"

Hearing Chen Fei's somewhat embarrassed voice, a strange look flashed across Su Chen's face.

"It's okay, big brother. I've just come out of the airport. I'm currently on the open space on the right side of the airport. There's a sculpture that looks like a lion next to it!" After looking at the surrounding environment, he told Chen Fei his approximate location.

"Okay~ I'll be there soon!" After saying that, he hung up the phone without giving Su Chen any response.

Su Chen looked at the hung up phone and shook his head helplessly. If he had known the situation would be like this, he would have taken his own private plane here.

But... who could have thought that the car would have problems halfway through the journey instead of picking us up at the airport.

Looking at the six people standing upright behind him, Su Chen frowned slightly.

"Chen Fei, you guys don't have to be so serious. Others will know at a glance that you are all former soldiers. You are all young people, so be more casual."

"If you want to take pictures, take pictures. If you want to smoke, smoke. Don't be so restrained!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, their straight backs immediately relaxed, and a few more smiles appeared on their faces. They picked up their phones and started taking pictures. They had to leave some memories when they went out, so that the trip would be worthwhile.

Seeing this, Su Chen smiled with satisfaction, took his phone and walked aside to make another call.

He just chatted with the other party for a few words, glanced around, nodded slightly and hung up the phone.
