Reborn in 2010, the AI ​​in my mind is too powerful.

Seeing Lee Jae-yong's reluctant expression, Chen Yiran began to brainwash him: "He's just Liang Mengsong, what you said earlier is fine."

"Liang Mengsong is Samsung's most important technical staff, without exception. We went to great lengths to recruit him to Samsung. The technical evaluation team we had previously rated him was almost insane."

They stated directly that Liang Mengsong is the most powerful technical leader in the global semiconductor foundry industry in the past fifty years. He is the future of Samsung and the most important asset for Samsung's technological capabilities.

"I know, if he's not strong, what do I need him for?"

".........Can't we use someone else?"

Chen Yiran's temper flared up a little, and he said with a smile, "You don't think that by holding onto him, Samsung can continue to lead in chip manufacturing, or even maintain a certain advantageous position in its relationship with Aurora."

Lee Jae-yong's cold expression immediately changed. Although he did have that thought for a moment, he knew how petty Chen Yiran was.

"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense. Samsung has always stood firmly on Aurora's side. In chip manufacturing, I hope that Liang Mengsong can work hard at Samsung to improve the R&D and advance the process as soon as possible. You also said that the current chip manufacturing process is still not enough."

"Your reasoning is untenable. You have to pay to use the SEELE R&D platform! Even then, you have to beg to use it. This isn't just because of the chip manufacturing process; the number of chips and high-bandwidth memory are also important factors."

Therefore, at this stage, we need to improve AI computing power first. Sending Liang Mengsong to TSMC to upgrade their processes and ramp up production is a better option. I'm definitely getting this guy!

Lee Jae-yong desperately wanted to overturn the table, but he didn't dare. For Samsung, chip manufacturing processes are important, but not to the point of risking their lives. They are not TSMC; they have more than just chip foundry business.

Samsung has an extremely large business portfolio and many ways to make money. These may not all be reflected in revenue and stock price, but they will solidify the Samsung family's position in South Korea in many ways.

Even if Samsung completely disregarded this business and focused solely on consumer products, its computers and TVs were already highly profitable. Moreover, their ONE UI is now one of the world's top three mobile operating systems, and with the development of smartphones, the revenue from their mobile app stores is virtually endless.

Although reluctant, Lee Jae-yong calmly nodded: "Alright, then I'll just have to give it up."

"A wise choice! I was originally going to threaten you with the fact that I voted for you in a violation of the acquisition rules, but it seems I don't need to now."

"............................................."

"Just kidding, don't be so silent."

Lee Jae-yong steadied himself, then quickly changed his expression and began offering advice to Chen Yiran: "I understand, just kidding. I've known Director Chen for so many years, and Samsung and you were one of the earliest partners. Back when you first brought out your product to seek cooperation at the semiconductor conference in San Francisco, we were the first company to do so, and we hadn't even received any payment yet, you remember?"

"Regarding Liang Mengsong, we can release him. We don't need to go through any non-compete agreements or anything like that; we'll just give him to whoever wants him, right? But you need to be careful about his intentions; he might not be willing to go with you."

"Tell me more about this person. If it's about the lawsuit with TSMC, don't worry, I've already instructed them to withdraw the case."

"That's not the issue. Liang Mengsong is a bit stubborn. Given his technical skills, he shouldn't have been sidelined at TSMC. He's also very committed to his technological path, a staunch believer in Moore's Law."

He truly regarded this law as a belief. At the time, TSMC had different technical approaches being discussed, and he directly scolded them, which is why things became very tense.

In short, I don't think he'd be happy to go back.

"What's the solution? How did you manage to recruit him in the first place? I remember a few years ago when I was running a wafer fab in Beijing, we considered poaching him. The Chinese American Association told me at the time, 'Your father personally invited him to South Korea?'"

"No, that's not it. It's just a rumor. We invited him, but we couldn't get him to come. He genuinely didn't want to work in the factory anymore at first. But it just so happens that his wife isn't Korean, so he and his wife came to live in Korea and he went to teach at Sungkyunkwan University."

"So what? You guys managed to bewitch me while I was teaching you?"

"Sungkyunkwan University belongs to Samsung. Some of their courses are essentially corporate training universities within Samsung's factory area. Some people directly say that there is a Samsung Semiconductor Institute of Technology there."

So after his non-compete agreement expired, we started poaching him. He's a very loyal person. We started with his friends, first at TSMC, poaching quite a few of his contacts. Finally, he found he had many friends and students at Samsung, so he came over.”

"Oh, I see. You mean I don't just want to poach him, but also take his friends and students with me? Okay, give me a list, and I'll take them all."

"................................"

"Isn't that right?"

"Hey, if you insist on taking people with you, then go ahead. Anyway, it's going to be a lot of trouble to poach him. It took us two years to finally get him. My suggestion before was to start with his wife."

To put it bluntly, he's henpecked. Whether he agrees or not, if his wife wants to go back to Taiwan, he'll definitely go with her. But this is quite difficult, because his wife is from Seoul and is content staying at home; there's no reason for her to want to leave.

Chen Yiran did not reply. In his mind, he and Jasmine began to discuss a bolder and more ambitious plan, which inexplicably came to mind.

Lee Jae-yong didn't urge him, and quietly ate his food on the side.

After a while, Chen Yiran made up his mind: "Help me arrange a meeting with him and get him to bring his wife. I want to resolve this once and for all. If I manage to persuade him, I'll make him make a list, and I'll take everyone on that list with me. Samsung can't stop me."

Don't worry, you won't suffer any losses. I will also allocate resources to other businesses within the Samsung Group, such as the display business, which can all be integrated into the SEELE R&D platform, no longer limited to the electronics business and high-bandwidth memory projects.

The roles have reversed now; Chen Yiran has started eating, while Lee Jae-yong has fallen silent. Chen Yiran is clearly planning something big, and who knows how many people are on Liang Mengsong's list.

Lee Jae-yong was confident that Chen Yiran could recruit Liang Mengsong because Liang Mengsong was genuinely passionate about technology and was very likely to be lured away by Chen Yiran's technological blueprint. With his influence, it was entirely possible for him to easily sway a hundred or so people from Samsung.

Those are the cream of the crop.

"Sure, but I admire Aurora Group's drones. Could you give us some and open up the chip ports?"

"Okay, it's settled then."
