Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 422 Shen Fei: Since you're here, you're mine.

Meanwhile, Crabbe's team also began to take action, buying headlines from multiple media outlets and starting their publicity campaign.

However, Toutiao GG was twice as expensive as usual because of the queue-jumping.

The two teams divided their tasks and cooperated with each other, with only one goal: to cut off Transsion's investment plan.

(Making money!)

After the announcement, the White House press secretary held a formal press conference.

After all, endorsements are needed to attract more research teams.

"In order to no longer lag behind China in the field of scientific research, we have officially established the Global Scientific Research Acceleration Program."

This is a global research funding platform designed to support cutting-edge basic scientific research.

Our investment scope is global, and you can apply for our funds regardless of your background.

After review, we will also provide sufficient research funding!

The brief press conference quickly reached China and instantly became a trending topic on Chinese social media.

#NationalFoundation of the United States#

#Transsion Future Foundation#

The comments section was bustling with activity, and the discussion, which had previously quieted down, became lively once again.

"The United States is directly competing with Transsion! They didn't even change the names; one is called the Future Foundation, and the other is called the Global Research Acceleration Foundation."

America is really lagging behind; they even have to imitate projects.

"No nationality restrictions, global recruitment and expert review system... In short, whatever Transsion does, America follows suit."

It's a pity that this plan can't collect patent fees, otherwise Mr. Shen might have recouped his investment earlier.

"Great! The US imposed sanctions four times, but to no avail. Now they're starting to imitate us."

At the same time, when Wang Hua knocked on the door and came in, Shen Fei and Zhang Mingzhu were looking at news online together.

"Boss, the Americans are causing trouble again!"

Although it seems unlikely, it's definitely coming for us.

Shen Fei nodded. He knew, of course, that the United States was targeting them, but to openly compete with them, he needed the technology.

While establishing a foundation is not particularly difficult, oversight of funds is a crucial issue.

If... I mean if America were honest and upright, then perhaps... they would still have a chance.

but……

"Alright, forget about the Americans. Let's get our expert committee in order. As long as we move faster than them, their plan won't affect us."

Wang Hua nodded and began to work with Li Qing's intelligence department to screen personnel.

…………

12 month 20 day.

Rumor has it that the human resources department has received a large number of applications for part-time reviewers.

More than 80% of the resumes came from the United States, and most of them were from experts, scholars, professors, and other professionals.

On the surface, they all firmly stated that they would contribute their strength to the future of humanity, but in reality, they were all secretly inquiring about their salaries.

Most importantly, many of these people are top talents in their respective fields, and some of them were people Wang Hua couldn't recruit even if he wanted to.

When Wang Hua sorted the resumes and delivered them to Shen Fei's office, Shen Fei had an expression that was both excited and confused.

"Boss, the quality of the resumes we received this time is ridiculously high."

She placed a stack of printed resumes on the table: "This one is for a physics professor at MIT."

This one is from an associate professor of computer science at Stanford, and here's another one from a materials scientist at Berkeley National Laboratory.

We've tried to reach these people before, but without any progress. Now they want to join our selection committee, and I think this is an opportunity.

The resumes on the table did indeed pique Shen Fei's interest.

After all, these professors have truly solid backgrounds; their number of patents, project experience, and every experience can withstand scrutiny.

Shen Fei looked at the materials and nodded silently. It seemed that the things he was leveraging with his 100 billion yuan were quite significant.

At least the United States has really gone all out.

I initially thought it was just a benchmark for a foundation, but I didn't expect it to actually send them a group of much-needed talents.

[America: Didn't I only send a batch of review experts?]

Shen Fei: Now that they've joined our company, aren't they mine?

Shen Fei nodded, but then suddenly asked, "Why do you think they suddenly agreed to come?"

"There are probably two reasons. First, our foundation is indeed investing in the future. Second,..."

Wang Hua didn't finish speaking, but his purpose was already very clear.

It would be strange if so many top American scientists submitted their resumes at the same time.

"Boss, should we... shave it off?"

But Shen Fei suddenly gave a wicked smile. Since they had their own purposes, why didn't the telepathic communication also have its own little schemes?

"I didn't say they had any problems!"

These people are genuinely qualified, have genuine resumes, and genuinely capable.

Although it's just a review committee, it doesn't necessarily mean they can't be our people.

But behind the scenes…

Wang Hua nodded quickly, knowing the next course of action.

So she immediately flashed the same smile as Shen Fei.

"Boss, there's definitely someone pushing this behind the scenes, but these people are real experts, not imposters."

"America, if you want to send us people, we'll accept them."

Zhang Mingzhu, who was standing next to her, nodded: "We can let them join the platform committee first, and then not let them review B-level projects."

Then we'll use our internal A-level projects to attract them; a few months later, it's still uncertain who these people will belong to.

Looking at his "silly" wife, Shen Fei thought it was time to have a second child.

"Use their plan against them."

Wang Hua looked at Zhang Mingzhu and said with a smile.

"Yes, it's a case of turning the tables on someone else."

Shen Fei walked back to the table and picked up the application from the MIT physicist professor.

These are all precious treasures!

The Americans thought they were infiltrating Transsion and could steal our projects.

But they forgot one thing: scientists are among the least easily fooled people in the world.

Although we don't know what methods they used to lure these people over, now that they've joined this new family, they're sure to be able to stay.

After all, money and technology certainly have their appeal...

Wang Hua nodded as well.

After all, a good research environment, sufficient funding, and an efficient team are more convincing than any propaganda.

"Since they want to put sand in there, let's pan for gold in the sand."

"We conduct interviews according to normal procedures. Our foundation is future-oriented and focuses on technological research and development, so candidates must have outstanding technical skills. We shouldn't reject someone just because of a suspicion; that would be pushing truly talented people away."

Wang Hua took the resume and nodded: "Understood. I'll arrange the interview."

"There's one more thing." Shen Fei suddenly had a new plan...
