Hello, I am the Emperor of the Dark Empire.
Due to certain reasons, I was mistakenly teleported to Blue Water Star.
I urgently need a sum of money to launch a signal device into space t...
The head of the special department began to feel a little overwhelmed.
How come this kid Levi is so impenetrable that neither water nor needle can penetrate him?
They all withdrew the special team members as required, which showed great sincerity.
But this kid Levi refused to join the Xia country's nationality, which was such a good opportunity.
He was invited to play in the army, but he refused to go.
Levi rejected him again and again.
None of the intended goals were achieved, but the relationship between the two parties improved a little.
But no substantial benefits were brought and no cooperation was established.
So a group of scientists from the space agency became a little impatient and held a meeting to discuss the issue.
"We can't keep going like this."
"Two years, almost two years, and still no progress has been made. Those mysteries remain unsolved."
"I think we're still too reserved. We don't dare to say some things too clearly, so we can only boil the frog in warm water. Of course, this method is not wrong, but it's too inefficient and the results are too slow."
"There's no need to pretend to be confused. Let's get straight to the point and talk to Levi. Propose a cooperation plan that will benefit everyone. Levi is a straightforward person who only takes advantage and never suffers any loss. But as long as the benefits promised here are sufficient, he should share some of the 'mysteries' about him with us... In short, we can't continue to be so lukewarm."
"Yes, Levi's way of thinking is different from ours. He is direct and rough, while we are implicit and passive... This is absolutely not acceptable. We have to learn his way and deal with him. It's simpler and more effective."
"Of course, don't be too direct in some areas. Don't scare that kid off! Buy him a plane, a cruise ship, who knows what else he'll buy. In short, don't overstimulate him."
"That's right."
“…”
The scientists quickly reached a consensus and conveyed their opinions to the special department.
When He Wenxi saw the scientists' requests, he felt that they were too impatient. He had only met and communicated with Li Wei a few times, and their relationship was not very familiar, but they were impatient and wanted to see some results.
However, the scientists' analysis was also good. He also figured out Levi's character a little bit. In two words, it can be summed up as "direct". He doesn't beat around the bush. If it's something he doesn't like or is not happy about, he will shut you up with one sentence and get angry if you continue talking.
And they only take advantage and never suffer any loss.
"Okay, little comrade, if I continue to talk to you about being friends, you'll probably get annoyed soon. Why don't I be a little more direct?"
…
February 15th.
Dynasty Villa No. 1.
In the reception room in the backyard.
After seeing Levi again, He Wenxi exchanged a few simple pleasantries before finally getting to the point. He said with a rare serious expression:
"Xiao Li, today, on behalf of the higher-ups, I'm going to tell you something. I'm not going to hide it anymore."
"Just talking about your dark tech company, anyone with a discerning eye can see that your company has fewer than 100 employees, and most of them are salespeople. There are hardly any programmers writing code."
"But it was this small company that came up with the 'Intelligent Optimization Assistant' and the 'Intelligent AI Program', and their technical strength was so strong that even Huayao, with hundreds of thousands of engineers, had to conduct a week-long review before Dark Technology's powerful technology. They then obediently submitted a year's worth of R&D funding and agreed to harsh terms, just to buy artificial intelligence technology."
"But why dark technology is so powerful remains a mystery."
"Some people say you bought a small island, put a bunch of computers and servers on it, and hired tens of thousands of top programmers to develop programs for you. None of them can change jobs, and other companies can't poach your people."
"Some say these technologies were developed by a programming genius. This genius could be you, Xiao Li, or someone else."
"But both of these statements are definitely nonsense,"
"Given the complexity of artificial intelligence technology, which involves multiple interdisciplinary disciplines such as social relations, linguistics, brain logic and thinking, and deep learning, it is a massive systemic project that cannot be developed by a single person."
"But as another group of people say, confining tens of thousands of top programmers to an island and beating them if they don't write code is simply outrageous! Furthermore, if tens of thousands of top talents were to disappear and be isolated, and their families didn't report the crime, there wouldn't be a social impact... Even the state would struggle to accomplish this."
"So, we tend to believe that artificial intelligence technology is something you already have in your hands, Xiao Li. It wasn't developed by you, but rather it landed on Blue Mercury in its entirety from nowhere."
"...Xiao Li, do you think our speculations make sense?"
He Wenxi looked at Levi and said, observing the changes in his facial expression.
However, Levi had a strong psychological quality and no expression of panic or surprise flashed across his face.
He simply said, "I hired someone to develop the artificial intelligence technology. It cost a lot of money. Don't make wild guesses."
"Xiao Li, this is boring. You're not honest at all. You want me to make my words more clear, right?"
Seeing that Levi still looked indifferent.
"Okay, fine! I'll tell you something else."
He Wenxi asked, "Little satellite, do you still remember the little satellite you brought to the Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation two years ago and launched into space on the Yuanzheng-2 rocket?"
"On the surface, that satellite belongs to Gambia, but in reality, that satellite should be yours, right?"
"Later, our scientists 'salvaged' the small satellite and studied it carefully. Xiao Li, would you like to hear what the experts think of it?"
Hear this.
Levi's expression finally changed, becoming less natural and calm. This was indeed his weakness and loophole.
Of course he can continue to deny it, but it is obviously not convincing.
"You don't want to hear it, right? Haha, I won't go on."
He Wenxi smiled complacently, but still gave him some face and continued, "Xiao Li, we don't want to pry into your privacy or secrets. We just know that you have great value for cooperation, especially in the field of science and technology. We still have a lot of room for cooperation."
"And don't worry, this kind of cooperation is absolutely a win-win situation! It will definitely not harm your interests."
"Xiao Li, let's cooperate. You have the technology, and we have the resources and policies. We can join forces and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results. Why not?"
He Wenxi patiently advised that being frank and honest meant that he sincerely hoped to achieve cooperation.
Levi was silent for a long time.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly said:
"Cooperation is fine, but return the small satellite to me first."
