From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 335

Chapter 335: Chapter 191: Not Only Money, but Top Talent Too?

Su Chen saw right through Mark’s little scheme, and the smile on his face widened.

"Mr. Mark, give me one good reason to take this thing off your hands. We both know I don’t really care about it," Su Chen said, waving the USB drive in his hand.

Whether he took this new technology or not, it wouldn’t harm Su Chen in any way. His share was guaranteed; neither Morgan nor BlackRock wanted to make an enemy of him.

So, that brought him back to the main point. If he wouldn’t lose out either way, why should he take on this hot potato?

Mark fell into deep thought. He knew the main event had arrived. Whether he could succeed or not all depended on whether the terms he offered could entice Su Chen.

For a moment, the only sound on the rooftop was the sea breeze. Chen Fei, Jiang Hui, and the two men Mark had brought with him all waited for Mark’s answer.

Su Chen leisurely picked up his glass of juice and sipped it slowly, taking a moment to admire the San Francisco Bay Area under the glow of the setting sun.

After a long while, Mark finally looked up at Su Chen and said, "I’m willing to offer a sixty percent cut. I wonder if that is to Mr. Su’s satisfaction."

"A sixty percent cut!" Su Chen muttered to himself, rubbing his chin. He hadn’t expected Mark to have this much nerve.

Su Chen quickly made his decision and waved to Jiang Hui, who was standing nearby.

"Sir." Jiang Hui reached him in just a few steps.

Su Chen jutted his chin toward the small leather case on the table. "Put it away."

Hearing this, a flash of delight crossed Mark’s eyes. He quickly stood up and said excitedly, "Thank you, Mr. Su."

"Alright, sit down," Su Chen said flatly, his gaze shifting to the two men who had come up with Mark.

"Tell me about them."

’If they weren’t important, why would Mark bring them up to meet me? If I’m not mistaken... these two are most likely the creators of the new weak AI technology.’

"Mr. Su, I imagine you’ve already guessed. These two are Longteng Technology’s top engineers. I brought them here today hoping to find a path forward for them."

"Hm?" Mark’s words left Su Chen a bit baffled. Logically, these two had to be AI experts; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to develop the world’s most advanced weak AI.

Once Longteng Technology was sold, whether Morgan or BlackRock took over, it would be a step up to a bigger platform for them. They would also get to connect with more elites in the AI field.

’Why would they need to find another path?’

As if sensing Su Chen’s confusion, Mark quickly explained, "Mr. Su, they are both old friends of mine, my most trusted confidants. They will inevitably be purged after the transition."

"Mr. Su surely has many businesses under his name. I’m confident they can shine and contribute under your leadership."

Although the reason seemed a bit forced, Su Chen chose to believe him. After all, a new ruler brings in his own court. Once Mark sold his shares, his loyalists were certain to be purged. No one could guarantee that one of them wouldn’t sell out the company’s interests.

Rather than keeping them around and being constantly on guard, it was better to just fire them all.

However, Su Chen wouldn’t completely trust these two AI experts. He would definitely need to observe them for a period before making a final judgment.

No one could guarantee that the two of them didn’t have ulterior motives.

Of course... Su Chen wouldn’t let talent like this slip through his fingers either. To develop the most advanced weak AI technology with just a small company’s research team showed they had real skill.

"They’re both probably married, right? Ask them if they’re willing to move their families to Huaxia. If they are, I’ll take them both and give them important positions."

Upon hearing this, Mark quickly stood up, walked over to the two men, and began talking. He made no effort to be discreet or lower his voice, and Su Chen heard their entire conversation.

At first, the two men were a little agitated, but after some persuasion from Mark, they quickly calmed down.
