Chapter 501: Picking Up the Pace

There is a reason why Sun Cheng thinks this way.

That group of CIA agents previously arrived in China with a clear and strong purpose, so even though he ordered Hanwei to dispose of them and subsequently clean up the traces of the battle there, no one could guarantee whether some clues might have been left behind that would draw the attention of domestic intelligence agencies responsible for investigations.

After all, Sun Cheng knew that Hanwei's original will had also been cleared by him; the Hanwei he brought back to reality was, strictly speaking, just a robot possessing a certain level of logical thinking ability, much like a vengeful spirit.

However, if things were truly as he guessed, then Sun Cheng felt he needed to prepare in advance.

He could not go to the yet-to-be-completed Base No. 1 for the time being.

In order to avoid exposing Hanwei and the others, Sun Cheng even had to consider letting them hide in the basically completed underground bunker for a period of time.

After all, the power he possessed in the real world was not yet enough to face the state apparatus head-on.

Unless Sun Cheng no longer cared about everything in reality!

Of course, judging by the fact that the other party was currently only tailing him without taking any forceful measures, they should still be in the stage of secret investigation and intelligence gathering, so he should still have some time to think of a solution.

There were many things to worry about; besides this matter, there were quite a few other things that Sun Cheng needed to resolve as soon as possible.

"... Recruitment?"

Even through the phone, Sun Cheng could clearly sense the change in tone from Wang Lu, who was thousands of miles away.

"Yes, I plan to hold a major recruitment drive... Although our company was only established a few months ago, our business and scale are expanding rapidly, and we have already started to face a shortage of manpower... This is especially obvious in the management team. Once you leave, many of the company's original plans will start to stagnate..."

"Initially, I only intended to hire the project managers and department heads that the company hadn't arranged for yet... But after thinking about it carefully, once you finish the merger with Panda Weiyun over there, our user base will have a qualitative leap. If we don't prepare in advance, it will be a chaotic mess by then..."

Wang Lu did not stop him, but still tactfully advised: "Won't the pace be too fast? Weiyun alone is enough for us to digest for a long time, and suddenly you are proposing to acquire the established domestic storage equipment manufacturer 【Xinhai Technology】... and simultaneously spinning off several project groups currently under the company's R&D as independent subsidiaries... This will bring considerable pressure to the company's finances..."

"You don't need to worry about the funds. Excluding the 300 million USD already allocated to the company's finances... I have another sum of money that hasn't been touched; I will pay for the acquisition of 【Xinhai Technology】 out of my own pocket... You need to speed up the integration of Weiyun over there, and remember to poach people according to the plan. As long as the original technical team from Weiyun is willing to work in Nandu, we will provide an additional housing subsidy in their compensation... In short, poach as many people as possible..."

After talking to Wang Lu, the company CEO who was integrating 【Panda Weiyun】 in the south, about his plan for a major recruitment drive to put 【Cybertron Technology】 on the fast track of development, Sun Cheng hung up the phone.

Although he felt a sense of urgency upon returning to the real world this time, because the flow of time in the two worlds was not the same, returning to the real world meant that time in the 【Transformers Universe】 was at a standstill. Therefore, he couldn't help but feel a bit lax during this time, and he even noticed it himself, just treating it as a moment to catch his breath, a short vacation before getting busy.

But he didn't expect that just a few days after returning to reality, he would encounter all sorts of things one after another.

It seems the short vacation he had prepared for had to be ended early.

Since that was the case, the series of development plans he had originally designed for the real world should also be put on the agenda one by one.

As 【Cybertron Technology Company】 was the only company industry Sun Cheng currently had on the table in the real world, he had formulated many development strategies around the company before returning from the other world.

Coupled with the fact that he suddenly realized some of his previous oversights in company management last night, it was only natural to conduct a new round of recruitment, take the opportunity to clearly divide all departments from management to finance, from technology to public relations, and fill in the gaps from before.

"... So, I have already discussed it with President Wang. Regarding the recruitment, let's announce it to the outside world in the company's name immediately... The topicality of our acquisition of 【Panda Weiyun】 is still there, so we should be able to take the opportunity to absorb a batch of talent... As for the heads of the branch companies and the heads of several important departments, let's hire more professional headhunting firms to help recommend them directly..."

After communicating the recruitment work to the heads of various departments during the company's morning meeting, Sun Cheng left the company headquarters and drove toward his alma mater.

There were actually still four or five days left until the graduation ceremony arranged by Nanjing University of Technology for their entrepreneurial students.

Sun Cheng coming here this time was naturally not to get his certificate early.

Because he had already promised the president of Nanjing University of Technology, and Nanjing University of Technology had recently been using him as a model for entrepreneurial students at his alma mater for publicity, going back on his word at this time would ultimately be detrimental to the increasingly close cooperation between the two.

After all, there were quite a few collaborations between 【Cybertron Technology Company】 and Nanjing University of Technology now.

As one of the top higher polytechnic institutions in the country, Nanjing University of Technology still had quite a few achievements in the fields of microelectronics and semiconductors.

Recently, it was graduation season, and since Sun Cheng was an entrepreneurial model who had come out of Nanjing University of Technology, quite a few students from Nanjing University of Technology had recently taken the initiative to submit interview applications to 【Cybertron Technology Company】, or had successfully joined Cybertron after being tipped off by some employees who had started interning at Cybertron early and became full-time staff; the number had vaguely reached over a hundred.

For a startup with a total of only three hundred or so employees, this was not a small number.

Moreover, there was an even more important collaborative project between the two.

Intelligent Machinery Laboratory!

Sun Cheng came to Nanjing University of Technology today precisely to urge this matter.

It was not difficult to register a commercial laboratory in the country; almost any enterprise with a little scale was qualified to create its own research center and laboratory.

However, what Sun Cheng wanted was not that kind of company-style commercial laboratory. He hoped to cooperate with Nanjing University of Technology, where the actual management and financial expenditures would be the responsibility of 【Cybertron Technology Company】, and the main technical personnel would be split fifty-fifty between the two sides.

This way, he could legitimately utilize the technical strength of this top-tier domestic higher polytechnic institution to help him crack the black technology he had brought back from the 【Transformers Universe】—things that appeared advanced but whose principles Sun Cheng still did not understand.

With the hope of successfully cultivating intelligent robots, or even Decepticons, that would obey him in the real world in the shortest possible time.
