421: Chapter 421 Professor: A Justifiable Reason for Changing Jobs

To prevent others from stealing his credit, Jack hurriedly stood up and quickly projected the blind spot he had discovered onto the large screen.

The foundation's logo and the small print below appeared on the big screen:

"Globally recruiting audit specialists. As long as you have the ability, nationality is not a limit; anyone can join the review panel of the Transsion Future Science Foundation."

Everyone's attention, including that of the boss, Bob, shifted entirely to him.

"Boss, I've found the target!"

Then, he zoomed in on that line of small print again. When this sentence appeared before everyone, some people instantly understood what Jack meant!

Damn it, late again; this guy beat us to it!

At the same time, the silence and frustration that had just filled the conference room were blown away like a gust of wind, replaced by a surge of excitement.

They could all report back with results!

And they could continue to set up a publicly funded project, and continue... just like the Forbes list, they could profit from it all over again.

"Global recruitment, no nationality restrictions."

Bob repeated it, and quickly gave Jack a thumbs up, "Does this mean we can openly send people in?"

"It's not just about sending people in."

Jack pressed the remote control again, and the screen switched to a new set of data.

This was data he had urgently ordered to be investigated.

"According to the commissioner's investigation results, this is Transsion's recruitment data from the past two years globally.

They took away 79 PhDs from MIT and poached 5 professors from Stanford...

In short, they trust ethnic Chinese scientists and engineers, and not just them; they even welcome pure-blooded United States engineers.

The most important thing is having technical skills."

Everyone in the conference room nodded. They had studied Transsion's recruitment notices many times before. Nationality was not the issue; the main issue was technology and stance.

"Since that's the case, we can seize this opportunity."

Bob also slapped the table, and Jack very tactfully left the subsequent planning to the boss.

After all, only when the boss drank the soup could he follow along and eat the meat; this was something he had learned from some ancient Chinese cases.

"Jack, you have truly performed a great service! I will definitely submit your credit to Obama!"

"All of this is because of you, Boss, and your leadership. I only proposed a rather immature idea, and it still requires your help to perfect it."

The people nearby immediately widened their eyes. Is this still the country? What has happened to Jack during this time? How did he become so...

Bob also smiled with satisfaction and continued: "In that case, let's invite a group of real experts to go in.

They are hiring for online audit positions, so this way we can not only steal their research directions but also poach potential teams; it's killing multiple birds with one stone! The people at Transsion still miscalculated!"

"That's right, but this group of experts must be carefully vetted. These professors know who the real boss is, otherwise..."

Jack was also there, constantly adding details.

Seeing that all the credit was about to be snatched away by Jack, another deputy minister, Crabbe, also added: "At the same time, we can also launch a plan in another direction.

The model of the Transsion Future Technology Foundation is to invest in early-stage, high-potential research teams, and we can do the same thing.

Establish a benchmarking fund specifically to find the most promising early-stage research projects on a global scale.

We are not going there to pick up trash; we are going to snatch up good projects. Invest the money before Transsion does and bind the talent to our side."

After Crabbe finished speaking, Bob nodded again.

He believed that the glory of the United States would surely become great again because of this plan.

After all, one invitation is issued by an enterprise, while the other is issued by the United States, and there are also corresponding green cards and various supporting benefits...

I believe that those scientific researchers around the world will definitely make the most correct choice.

"Advance both directions simultaneously."

At this moment, two common words appeared in everyone's minds: infiltration and interception.

Infiltrate inside Transsion, intercept outside Transsion. One weakens from the inside, the other seals off from the outside; the two lines will run in parallel and coordinate with each other.

As for the foundation's operating model, they will do whatever Transsion does.

We might not know how to innovate independently, but can't we even copy?

Of course, since they have put in so much effort, it is only right to ask for some service fees!

After thinking it through, Bob laughed involuntarily, and the others immediately followed suit, after all...

After a while, Bob also realized he was a bit undignified and coughed lightly.

"Alright, guys, you are all doing great; you have once again saved the future of the United States.

The time required for this plan is not one or two years, but ten or twenty years.

China's technological rise will not stop overnight, and neither will our countermeasures.

So let's call it..."

Everyone held their breath, then placed their hands on their chests, ready to applaud at any moment.

Even if it is an incredibly tacky name, they must applaud; after all, this is called political correctness.

"The Centennial Plan!"

The prepared crowd immediately began to applaud the moment the words fell.

...

After the report, Obama approved the Centennial Plan that afternoon.

Bob had originally wanted 500 million USD, but Obama waved his hand and directly approved a budget of 2 billion USD.

In his words, a national-level plan cannot lose to an enterprise-level plan; it would be a laughingstock if word got out.

Moreover, this plan was not hidden at all; it was directly announced that it would be funded by the United States Department of the Treasury to promote the R&D of all scientific research projects.

Meanwhile, Bob and Crabbe each led a team and began their operations.

The first type Bob was responsible for was infiltration, with the targets being the Transsion Future Foundation and Transsion Technology itself.

They screened a group of scientists and engineers with top-tier experience in semiconductors, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, new materials, and biomedicine from major universities, national laboratories, and top companies in Silicon Valley in the United States.

They sent the Transsion Foundation's recruitment notice directly to them.

Then, they attached a piece of advice below: For the glory of the United States, and so as not to fall behind China in the field of scientific research, they hoped they would join the Transsion review panel to help study which relevant projects were worth investing in.

Moreover, the compensation for their review experts was very excellent; they could take Transsion's salary, and also take their...

These scientists also knew about the Centennial Plan behind this email, but they did not believe in this so-called glory of the United States; they just felt that this would make certain people filthy rich.

On the contrary, they only saw a well-paid job opportunity, an opportunity to legitimately access China's most cutting-edge scientific research investments.

With their professional capabilities, as long as they applied normally and passed a series of assessments, they would be hired by Transsion...
