Actually, if Chu Chen was willing to spend enough money, directly acquiring a research institute would be no problem. But he enjoyed the process, and since he wasn't in a hurry about this matter, he could take it slowly, moving forward step by step. That way, he could also get a clear understanding of the laboratory staff.
