Chapter: 5090

He plans to utilize these spare days to get ready.

But before departing, he specially arranged for Wan Ba Jun to bring him to meet that old fellow, Li Hong Jun.

Currently, the Wan Long Temple has prepared a two-story small building exclusively for Li Hong Jun's research.

Li Hong Jun, although having been in Syria for just a few days, underwent a profound transformation, not only in his physical appearance but also in his mental state and mood, as if he had become younger.

When seeing Ye Chen, Li Hong Jun was exceptionally delighted and exclaimed excitedly: "Mr. Ye, how did you come to Syria?"

Ye Chen smiled and said: "I came for some personal matters and happened to drop by to see you. How's life been treating you here lately?"

Li Hong Jun replied with a satisfied look: "Ever since I arrived, my daily life has been filled with vigor and vitality, but the only regret is that I still need to wait for the equipment to arrive before I can start working directly."

He continued: "I've prepared a list of equipment for Wan Temple Lord, without any compromises. He's arranged for all the necessary equipment from the world's top communication companies. After these devices arrive in Syria, I plan to set up an encryption communication system that covers the entire base, design an encryption algorithm, and then synchronize it with the satellite once it's launched."

Ye Chen asked curiously: "When can our own satellite go into orbit?"

Li Hong Jun explained: "Recently, people under Wan Temple Lord are registering offshore companies to order communication satellites from several well-known global communication companies. However, these satellites are not yet ready-made and need to be produced first. Once they're off the production line, we'll send them to Syria, where I will make some modifications before handing them over to a commercial launch company for launch."

Ye Chen asked him: "Old fellow, with so much work on your plate, it would be impossible for one person to complete all this. Why not recruit more people to help you? If we could establish a satellite communication team, the efficiency would undoubtedly skyrocket."

"I've thought about it too, but it's not easy to implement," Li Hong Jun said helplessly. "I've contacted some old colleagues and subordinates, but they're not very willing to come to Syria, and our base is located inside the base, I'm also worried about the risk of leakage."

Ye Chen nodded, saying, "We don't lack money, we just lack time, so in my opinion, it's better this way. We can establish a company or acquire one with sufficient foundation in the United States, then let your team do research and development work there according to your requirements, and you can be in charge of overall coordination."

Ye Chen paused for a moment before adding, "And, Old Fellow, you don't have to worry about these people not wanting to come to Syria. As long as we can offer them enough money, they'll definitely be persuaded!"

...

"When did you say that?" Li Hong Jun was taken aback by Ye Chen's words and opened his mouth to speak: "Mr. Ye, if we want to acquire a company with sufficient foundation in the telecommunications industry, the cost will at least exceed $100 million, the investment may be too high, I'm afraid it's difficult to achieve profitability..."

Ye Chen shook his head and said, "Profitability is not the most important thing, how to solve our current urgent needs is what matters most."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added: "Our biggest pain point right now is that we're running out of time. Not just a year or a month, but even down to an hour, we have to make every effort to grasp it; time is far more important than money."

Ye Chen paused for a moment before continuing: "If we want to develop at a speed beyond the ordinary, we must change our way of thinking from just solving immediate needs. No one or not being able to find people will basically make it difficult to achieve great things; if you're still stuck on how to recruit people, it's basically impossible to accomplish big things."

"Before doing great things, we must have a broad enough scope. Those big companies facing similar issues won't think about how to build a team from scratch and then develop a product. They will first think of a solution that directly buys an existing product on the market."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added: "Elon Musk wouldn't waste his precious time and energy building Twitter himself, instead he would buy it directly, which is the most economical for him. In fact, we are the same way. If we still need to recruit employees one by one, there will be too many variables involved, even if we predict that it can take two years to solve the problem. Once personnel changes occur, this time frame will become far-fetched."

"The first thing is that the recruitment cycle will definitely be longer than expected. Originally planned to recruit enough people in three months, it may actually take more than half a year or even longer;"

"The second point is that personnel stability is insufficient. Use several months to recruit a team and at least another few months to cultivate them. Once the newly cultivated employees suddenly leave their jobs, all this time may be wasted. Both recruitment and training will be in vain after pouring in for half a year, only to have to restart the process from scratch."

"Moreover, employees are not just stable; stability is predicated on them having sufficient ability to handle their work, which requires us to invest in uncertain trial-and-error costs. If we choose the wrong person, everything will have to start all over again."

"This way, even if it takes three years, we may not be able to achieve our desired goals." JrNovels.com
