The day after the company registration was completed, Chen Jianguo, as instructed by Chen Yiran, transferred five million yuan into Wanguoyuan's corporate account as Chen Yiran's first capital injection.

After two weeks of struggling, Lin Xiao finally saw the account and the money, and immediately began recruiting.

As a Tsinghua alumnus, Lin Xiao had many options, and he immediately began recruiting people from the Tsinghua Institute of Microelectronics.

Many of his fellow students are here, most of them are deciding what to do in the future, and they are basically wavering between working for companies like HiSilicon and research institutes.

To put it simply, one is to make money, and the other is to have a stable household registration and job.

Lin Xiao arranged to meet a few suitable people at the Sculpting Time Cafe outside the East Gate on a Wednesday afternoon. The four of them squeezed into a small table by the window.

The recruitment process is also very simple; they just throw money at it.

Although as Tsinghua University graduates, their abilities are all considered reliable, there isn't much money to be made in China these days.

Following Chen Yiran's instructions, Lin Xiao directly increased the salary to 1.5 times that of a typical Chinese company.

Wiring algorithm engineer, the going rate is 20,000, but I'm offering 30,000 directly.

Computational geometry/graphics engine, the market price is 15,000, but I'm asking for 20,000 directly.

Front-end/GUI development, the going rate is 15,000, or even 20,000.

The DRC/DFM engineer I found, although he only had a master's degree, had two years of experience in the CAM department of a PCB factory, and I still got a quote of 25,000.

With Lin Xiao himself included, a small PCB team was complete.

Recruiting for embedded systems was proving difficult. Following Chen Yiran's instructions, Lin Xiao began looking for people with experience in military or aerospace research institutes who had worked on actual embedded projects.

Ultimately, through a classmate's connection, I found an alumnus named Liu Xu. He hadn't stayed in Beijing after graduation and now regretted it almost daily. After receiving a call confirming that they would help me obtain a Beijing residency permit and that the salary would be 25,000 yuan per month, I immediately took my family and boarded the train to Beijing.

I also brought along a colleague, so now I have both an embedded systems engineer and a system modeling engineer.

Finally, Lin Xiao found another junior staff member to help with continuous integration, automated testing, and version management.

This is the simplest one; any master's graduate can do it. There are tons of them at Tsinghua University. A 20,000 yuan annual salary is enough to make you the top student in your class.

Once everyone was assembled, they quickly entered "engine mode".

Of the eight people, five were starting work for the first time. They were used to being directed by their mentors and felt that their boss was generous with the pay.

He practically spurred himself on, treating the company like his home. The remaining three people, influenced by him, also switched to the traditional Chinese work ethic of enduring hardship.

But the more they worked, the more they felt like a piece of trash.

They were almost all doing assistant or supplementary work.

Chen Yiran's ideas and workload alone are almost 10 times that of all of them combined.

Or rather, it's something that can't be quantified; Chen Yiran can always give them the answer directly in terms of the overall thinking and direction.

One day later, they saw Chen Yiran as a monster. Three days later, they thought Chen Yiran might be an alien.

A week later, they felt that Chen Yiran was either a robot from the future or a god.

This wasn't just their feeling; FlowEDA employees in the US also sensed the boss's power.

Gao Dewei was initially very happy, thinking that although his boss didn't come to the company, he was finally working hard.

I answer questions in the group every day and contribute ideas in various directions.

A week later, he became numb.

The more technical a science student is, the more they can appreciate the huge gap in intelligence.

If you ask a writer to compete with Terence Tao in mathematics, the writer might only know that he is no match for him, but he won't feel that sense of awe.

However, FlowEDA employees experienced firsthand what it means to be watched by God during those two weeks.

They always knew that there were always some people in this world who were different.

Donald Knuth, a man who has defined the bible for generations in the field of algorithms.

Linus Torvalds wrote the first version of the Linux kernel in his dormitory in Helsinki.

John Carmack, the one who wrote the engine core for Doom and Quake.

Jeff Dean, a cornerstone of Google, and the core designer of all Google software.

Fabrice Bella wrote the underlying programs for video software worldwide, laying the foundation for cloud computing and virtual machine technologies.

From the 1960s to the present, every era has seen its share of legends. They've all heard the stories of these people, and they regret not having the chance to work with them.

They now feel that they are witnessing the rise of a new legend.

Unbeknownst to him, Chen Yiran had achieved what he had always wanted to do: to have influence.

Just as Zhang Rujing was able to lead hundreds of people from all over the world to China, if Chen Yiran were to lead a team back to China now...

It's estimated that 9% of the company's employees would follow him without hesitation. What can you do? Which tech person doesn't admire the best?

Of course, the price for Chen Yiran's success on both the US and Chinese fronts is that she has been binge eating for the past few weeks.

Although soaking in the pool, the water's cooling effect is very good.

However, Chen Yiran was extremely exhausted. This was the first time she had worked at such a high intensity since her rebirth.

Jasmine's reaction was even more interesting. Perhaps because he shared Chen Yiran's brain, he was even somewhat affected by Chen Yiran's emotions and had recently become very irritable.

[These idiots from the aerospace system! They're used to reading Chinese translations of technical documents; the original ARM manual is in English. Liu Xu's progress a few days ago was probably hindered by this. So stupid! With such terrible English, what's the point?!]

Chen Yiran said while taking a big gulp of iced cola, "Calm down, I'm not insulting him."

[You're being too lenient! It didn't even use profanity, and none of the family members appeared. Does that count as insulting them?]

"Be civilized and polite, Jasmine. Let me see the news from Gao Dewei's side; everything's done there. The wiring process is basically complete, right?"

[Try asking someone; it should work.]

"Wait a minute, let me find a picture of a preserved egg and upload it first, then have them officially push our cabling software Pepsi to our partners."

I have to say, using a Border Collie as the logo for cabling software is absolutely perfect.

"We can only thank Pepsi for not registering the Pepsi trademark for software as well."

They're being far too lenient; they don't even learn from Tiffany, who registered the colors themselves.

Chen Yiran thought of the absurd news he had seen in his previous life: Tiffany registered his blue logo and wouldn't let anyone else use it, which was really ridiculous.

Then a sense of emptiness washed over him, and Chen Yiran realized that he had been single for more than a month without realizing it.

"Sigh, women only slow down my sword-drawing speed. Jasmine, are you sure the white lychees and black plums at the Wan Guo Yuan will be ready in another week?"

Trust your judgment. To be honest, your current level, or rather, your rather strange intuition, is quite surprising. It seems that what I've learned has been reflected in your thinking to some extent. It seems the two of us agents are having some kind of mishap in our work area. ╮(╯▽╰)╭

"Go to hell! Don't even think about rebelling, you Serang!" (A robot race from an American TV series)

[I must point out that Battlestar Galactica, as a science fiction TV series, is not very rigorous. I believe that if that technology existed, the Cyrans would be indistinguishable from humans.]

"Go to hell, Battlestar Galactica is very well-made and is the best sci-fi show."

[Jin Yan, do you mean that the female protagonist is God's child in the end? And she finds Earth by following a nursery rhyme her father taught her when she was a child?]

In the midst of his monotonous work, Chen Yiran could only entertain himself by bantering with Jasmine.

However, after more than a month of hard work, on November 10th...

FlowEDA has officially rolled out the new cabling software, Pepsi, to all its partners.

On that day, the China WanGuoYuan team, after working overtime for more than a month, finally announced a week-long holiday for everyone.

Chen Yiran's work wasn't finished, even though her subordinates were on holiday.

After all, playing along with Kai Deng costs nearly a hundred dollars a month in lawyer fees.

Now that everything is ready, it's time for formal negotiations.

Chen Yiran called Ted and invited him to her home.

"Ted, a big international business deal has come in. You have to come with me back to China."

Ted seemed a little surprised, but quickly nodded and said, "We have a partner lawyer in Shanghai, in China. What kind of business is it about, an acquisition?"

Chen Yiran said with a smile, "Kaideng didn't make peace with me; it's about them."

Ted was a little confused: "Yeah, for the past month and a half, we've basically just met up with their legal team and exchanged insults, and then discussed the specific legal details of your cooperation online."

"Now the conditions need to change. My company in China has conquered the PCB business line with brand-new, cutting-edge technology. I remember Kaiden's PCB business was number one in the industry, right?"

Ted stared at Chen Yiran in shock: "Wow, you're so dark-skinned!"
