Rebirth 09: A perfect life starting from college

For this young man with the same skin color, Xie Chenghui obviously didn't understand the other party's purpose.

"Professor Xie, hello."

Jiang Cheng said politely: "Can I take up your time for a while?"

"Ah...of course no problem!"

Xie Chenghui was stunned, and quickly stood up from the desk: "Please come in!"

With that said, Xie Chenghui got up and walked over, and welcomed Jiang Cheng to the tea compartment on the side of the office.

As a veteran of Qualcomm, Xie Chenghui's private office can no longer stick to the rigid layout of ordinary company offices, but can be furnished according to his own preferences.

So, in the cubicle of the office, he used a pair of bamboo curtains to separate it.

Inside is a Chinese-style tea room.

A square Chinese-style rosewood long table, two rosewood chairs with similar wood grain are placed side by side, and in the middle of the tea table is an exquisite mahogany Kungfu tea sea, in which are neatly placed Porcelain cup with thin body tea set.

"Mr. Jiang, please take your seat."

Xie Chenghui respectfully welcomed Jiang Cheng into the upper seat, and then went to the opposite side of the tea table, and sat down with his knees bent, the two sat facing each other.

"Mr. Jiang, would you like to drink black tea or green tea?"

As the host, Xie Chenghui took out the tea cake and asked with a smile.

"Black tea." Jiang Cheng said with a smile.

"Coincidentally~"

Xie Chenghui was delighted when he heard the words: "I happen to have a piece of Keemun black tea cake that has been preserved for many years. I have wanted to try it for a long time. Today, I am lucky to have a distinguished guest here, so I can taste it with Mr. Jiang."

"I heard that Professor Xie's tea is good. I think the tea you regard as a treasure is naturally not ordinary."

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Professor Xie, if I remember correctly, you should be from Huizhou, right?"

"Huizhou, Qimen."

Xie Chenghui nodded, and first put the black tea leaves into the thin porcelain teapot depicting delicate and freehand flowers.

Then carefully rewrapped the unpacked tea cake, and then continued: "This piece of Keemun black tea was brought over from my hometown many years ago."

"I see."

Hearing the words, Jiang Cheng was stunned and didn't say anything more.

When the lid of the copper boiling pot on the induction cooker made a 'bang bang' sound, Xie Chenghui carefully twisted up a towel, covered the handle of the copper pot and gently lifted it, and poured boiling water into the teapot.

Immediately afterwards, a mellow tea fragrance lingered from the open spout and quickly spread throughout the room.

"Good tea."

Jiang Cheng sniffed, looked at the cup of brightly colored black tea that Xie Chenghui poured for him, and sighed softly.

"The soup is bright red and transparent, the bottom of the leaves is bright red and bright, with a fruity and orchid-like fragrance, and a faint honey smell. It really deserves to be an authentic Keemun black tea."

"Hehe, I didn't expect Mr. Jiang to be someone who knows tea at such a young age."

Hearing Jiang Cheng's comments, Xie Chenghui felt that he had found a like-minded person, and his eyes lit up immediately, with joy on his brows: "It's rare, it's hard!"

"It's just a small dabble, it's not worth mentioning."

Where did Jiang Cheng drink any authentic Keemun black tea?

"Hehehe~ Mr. Jiang is too modest, please taste the specific taste of brown color."

As Xie Chenghui said, he quickly stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Jiang Cheng was also polite, picked up the teacup and took a breath, then took a small sip.

"Not bad, the taste is fresh and refreshing, and the honey fragrance is strong. It really deserves the reputation of the king of tea!"

"Hahaha~ You think so too?" Hearing that the tea from his hometown can get such a high evaluation, Xie Chenghui's happy face almost burst into laughter.

"Mr. Jiang, to be honest, I, Xie, have been drinking tea all my life, and I also think that the Keemun black tea from my hometown Huizhou is indeed the king of all teas!"

"Well, tea is really good tea..."

Jiang Cheng looked at Xie Chenghui and smiled, and slowly put down the teacup in his hand, then the smile on his face suddenly changed, and the topic changed slightly: "But... this tea is good, but in my opinion, it is not It still feels a little bit less meaningful.”

"what?"

Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, the original smile on Xie Chenghui's face froze.

"Professor Xie, I think you should know too."

Jiang Cheng tapped the tabletop of the mahogany tea sea lightly with his fingers, and said with a smile on his mouth: "Good tea must be paired with good water."

"—Your Keemun black tea is authentic, but...the water is a bit problematic."

"So when you drink it in your mouth, it's still kind of nondescript~"

"Water? What's wrong with my water?"

Xie Chenghui touched the top of his gray head, and said with a puzzled face: "Mr. Jiang, to be honest, the water I use to make tea is from a mountain spring and stream from a nearby mountain. It should be absolutely fine for making tea. ?”

"Professor Xie, I remember that in Lu Yu's "Tea Classics", there is a statement - the way of tea, there are seven waters and three teas, and it is said that water is the mother of tea."

"So, no matter how good the water is, it's still water from a foreign country. To put it bluntly, it's a stepmother. How can it be compatible with tea from your home country?"

Jiang Cheng raised his head, stared into the other person's eyes seriously, and said frankly and earnestly: "Professor Xie, I think you should also know that the tea from my hometown is the most suitable water from my hometown..."

Chapter 233 Solving Puzzles

Hearing these meaningful words, Xie Chenghui's face was startled.

Then he shook his head slowly, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his bearded mouth.

"Mr. Jiang..."

The man with slightly white temples lightly played with the exquisite and transparent white porcelain teacup in his hand, and said with a sad expression: "How come I don't know that the tea in my hometown needs to be brewed with the water in my hometown to be the most perfect. tea ceremony."

"No matter how sweet the stream here is, the taste will never compare to the clear spring on the mountain behind my house."

Hearing Xie Chenghui's emotional exclamation, Jiang Cheng was overjoyed, knowing that there was a chance for this matter.

"Professor Xie."

Jiang Cheng said softly without changing his face: "I think you will pass half a century this year, right? ——Since you miss your hometown so much, why don't you plan to go back?"

"With your current reputation and strength, as long as you are willing to return to China, I am afraid that the companies that invite you to join the company can break through the threshold of your family, right?"

"Of course I know that."

Xie Chenghui smiled wryly: "Mr. Jiang, to be honest, there are indeed quite a few companies in China that have invited me over the years."

"However, I declined all of them."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked in doubt: "Could it be that so many Chinese companies can't get into your eyes, Professor Xie?"

"That's not it."

Xie Chenghui first served Jiang Chengman a cup of tea, and then said helplessly: "In fact, many of the benefits they offer are even better than those offered by Qualcomm."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Jiang Cheng, who had just reached out to pick up the teacup, was taken aback when he heard the words, and then asked doubtfully.

"If you can go back to China and get better treatment, why not do it?"

"Hehehe..."

Speaking of this, Xie Chenghui smiled wryly, looked down at the clear red tea soup in the cup, and said quietly: "The reason why I refuse is because I think that the current domestic environment is too impetuous and not suitable for academic research. .”

"I see."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng nodded as if realizing something.

——Xie Chenghui is not wrong. Since the new century, although China's economic development has indeed advanced by leaps and bounds at a speed that has attracted worldwide attention.

But in contrast, in the overall environment of blindly seeking speed and efficiency, people's hearts are indeed a lot more impetuous.

The point of view of economics, benefit, and money, as well as the mentality of dreaming of getting rich overnight, have gradually become a common trend of thought in the entire society.

Under such increasingly impetuous conditions, it is indeed not easy to do academic research with peace of mind.

"Mr. Jiang."

Xie Chenghui looked at Jiang Cheng, who was in deep thought, and said slowly: "You must have known about it—the chip industry, but it requires a huge amount of capital investment and a long time of energy."

"It is no exaggeration to say that doing chip research and development is a bottomless pit!"

"No matter how much money is invested in the early stage, before the moment of final success, all previous investments may be in vain."

"In my opinion, in the current China, almost no company is willing to pay such a huge amount of research and development funds, or is willing to pay such a long time of patience."

Xie Chenghui asked back with a serious tone: "Since I already know that all this is futile, why should I accept the invitation to go back? - Isn't this a waste of everyone's time?"

"That's why you chose to stay here?"

After patiently listening to Xie Chenghui's words, Jiang Cheng spoke slowly.

"It's because, staying at Qualcomm, your ability can be released to the greatest extent, and your contribution can also be guaranteed to the greatest extent-I understand that right?"

"indeed so."

Xie Chenghui nodded seriously, picked up the teacup and drank it down.

Seeing the other party's affirmative statement, another big stone fell to the ground in Jiang Cheng's heart.

Now at least we can draw a basic conclusion that this Xie Chenghui is not a foreigner, but chose to stay abroad because he has a very rigorous and responsible attitude towards his academic research career.

"Professor Xie."

After sorting out the basic situation in his mind, Jiang Cheng asked again in an indirect way.

"I'm personally curious—that is, besides this, do you have any concerns about returning to China for development?"

"Well..." Xie Chenghui frowned and thought for a while, and then said with a serious expression: "Besides the bad environment, what also makes me more disgusted is the sophistication of the world that is more prevalent in China. "

"Mr. Jiang, you may not know that I, Xie Chenghui, am a casual person by nature. What I can't bear the most is to engage in those silly detours with colleagues, leaders, and superiors."

"For example, my tea room~" Xie Chenghui pointed at the sea of ​​mahogany tea in front of him and said with a smile: "If this is a domestic research institute, can you give me this kind of treatment? Let me fish openly during working hours? It should have been approved by the leaders a long time ago!"

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help smiling.

Although I haven't experienced the work in the establishment, but according to hearsay, I basically know a thing or two.

After all, the matter of human sophistication is a chronic disease that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it cannot be solved overnight.

It is indeed a very negative obstacle to the research atmosphere.

However, if it was Weixin Technology under his command, Jiang Cheng would never let this happen.

What he wants is a vigorous and enterprising enterprise, not a chaotic mess within the family.

So on this point, he is absolutely sure that he will not disappoint Xie Chenghui.

After fully understanding the pain points of the other party, Jiang Cheng felt that the next thing was much simpler.

——I want to go back to China, but I feel that the general environment is not good, and there is no stable and reliable research environment and continuous investment funds.

These difficulties that Xie Chenghui felt could not be solved were not a problem for Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng, who knows the future development direction of the world, firmly believes that the chip industry is definitely the country's most important weapon in the future. No matter how much money and time needs to be invested, he is willing and has the strength.

Therefore, the dean in front of him naturally cannot be let go.

"Professor Xie."

After sorting out his thoughts in his mind for a while, Jiang Cheng coughed lightly, and said sincerely: "Say, if the current country can provide you with such an opportunity-unlimited capital investment, long-term patience, and Give you enough freedom for personal research."

"You, would you like to think about it?"

"Haha, if there is such an opportunity, of course I would like to go back to China!"

Xie Chenghui smiled and said, "But~ such a condition is simply impossible!"

"If there were, I wouldn't have stayed abroad forever~"

"What's impossible?"

The young man sitting opposite Xie Chenghui said with a smile, his handsome eyes were full of thriving brilliance.
