Chapter 542: Rocket Launch

Translator: _Min_Editor: Rundi

At the airport of Coro Island, a slim and tall man in a grey suit stood outside of the airport with a briefcase in his right hand, while his left hand continuously checked his watch. Although his family was not originally from Frankberg, as someone who was born and raised in Mun, he had the habit of the Frankberg people.

Such as, repetitively checking the time and a passion for BBQ.

An adorable little girl around the age of six was with him. She had a blonde ponytail and looked sweet.

A black Benz stopped at the curb of the road.

Jiang Chen got off the car, Amos' eyes lit up, immediately held his daughter's hand, and walked up with his briefcase in hand.

”Hello, nice to meet you, Doctor Amos.” Jiang Chen shook hands with him and then looked at the girl that seemed to be afraid of strangers with a smile. ”This is?”

”My daughter, Millian.” Amos smiled and looked at his daughter. ”Greet Uncle.”

The little girl hid behind her father pouted her mouth when she heard her dad's request and spoke with nonstandard Han.

”Hello, Uncle.”

Although it was cute, Jiang Chen felt an odd sorrow when the little loli called him uncle.

On the car, Jiang Chen learned that he divorced a long time ago and his daughter was his only family.

”What's the situation like in Ber?”

”Extremely unsafe…” Amos sighed, ”Protests are going on every day. Some people wanted Merk to step down. Some people called the protestors to remain rational. Just a few days ago, a young man threw a Motkov Cocktail inside the refugee camp causing a pregnant woman to die and her husband to suffer severe burns. The furious refugees grabbed anything they could get their hands on and rushed into the street… Of course, the parliament already ordered for the refugee camps to be closed and did some preventative measures to control the situation. Perhaps things will get better in a few months… But I don't want to wait any longer.”

At the end of that gala, Jiang Chen left his business card with him. But what he didn't think was that the professor from the University of Ber made his choice already, handed in his letter of resignation, and headed to Xin to join Future Technology.

Because Jiang Chen was surprised, he personally drove to the airport to pick him up.

Amos Kimberley was indeed an outstanding talent. At the age of 42, he obtained double doctorate degrees in information technology and mechanical engineering and became the youngest engineering professor at the University of Ber.

Not only that, he had quite a list of achievements in the field of robots and artificial intelligence. The number of published papers on SCI (1) may be less than some of the people, but every single paper he published regarding robots and artificial intelligence had been referenced by more than 10 SCI papers.

The reason why he brought his family to Xin was partially due to the security in Ber continuing to deteriorate while he saw the possibility of challenging himself at Future Technology.

Of course, the salary offered by Jiang Chen was another reason why he decided to immigrate. The pay the University offered him was 100 thousand Euros, taxed at 25-30%. The benefits Frankberg offered were quite good, but because of the refugee problem, the benefits system was unable to withstand the load of the society and continued to worsen. Jiang Chen however, directly offered him a base salary of 200 thousand USD after tax while providing him with housing and a car; these were tangible benefits.

Globally, these benefits were among the top, but what really motivated him to bring his family here was not because of the benefits, but because of the speech on artificial intelligence.

Jiang Chen previously told him it was a corporate secret.

Therefore, if he became part of the company, he could access this knowledge.

With that idea in mind, Amos submitted his resume to the email on Jiang Chen's business card.

Jiang Chen already had an idea of where to put the Frankberg Doctor.
