As darkness fell, Chen Yu ordered Xiao Yang to park the sled caravan in front of a snow slope and set up camp there.
Thinking about how hard Qiao Meng, the famous reporter, has been preparing all sorts of meals in the kitchen these past few days, it must have been incredibly tiring for her. After all, she's not a professional chef, much less his personal chef. Chen Yu felt a little guilty and thought it was time for her to relax.
Therefore, he did not let Qiao Meng cook dinner tonight.
The group erected a simple fence in front of the RV, creating a small open-air courtyard.
The barbecue grill is set up, and wisps of smoke rise, outlining a warm silhouette in the cold air.
Driver Xiao Yang skillfully handled the ingredients, and the sizzling sound of meat jumping on the flames could be heard from time to time, filling the air with a fragrant aroma that made people feel happy.
These ingredients were "dug" out of the snow by Chen Yu on the way in the afternoon when he found a suitable opportunity.
Seeing the refrigerator refilled, Lin Lele and Qiao Meng exchanged a smile. Chen Yu had never disappointed them. They wondered how many "contingency plans" he had made in advance of the natural disaster. He really did have temporary warehouses everywhere!
A group of people lit a bonfire in the cold night, chatting and laughing. The firelight reflected on their faces, casting dappled shadows and adding a touch of warmth to the chilly night.
At this moment, Chen Yu activated the RV's security system. One by one, the snow-covered mechanical dog sentries walked out of the RV garage in unison and silently dispersed to the surrounding area. Carrying sensitive sensors, they autonomously patrolled the vast snowfield with the RV as the center, ensuring the RV's safety.
"Bobo Company's robotic dogs have been stagnant for so many years. Mr. Chen, your vision is lacking." Looking at the clumsy movements of the robotic dogs, Newsk said leisurely, "Personally, I believe that humanoid form is the best form for robots. I do own a company that produces humanoid robots, and we've already achieved some research results with a very promising future. Mr. Chen, what do you think? Would you like to learn more?"
"Hehe, Lao Niu, let's talk about this later," Chen Yu said with a laugh.
He was speechless. This Newsk was trying to get him to invest whenever he had the chance. The Starship project was still unresolved, and now he wanted him to invest in humanoid robots.
Chen Yu couldn't understand why Musk, a trillionaire, would be so eager to promote his project to him. After all, Chen Yu was only a hundred billionaire, and his personal wealth was far inferior to Musk's. Wasn't this a typical case of "an elephant trying to sell to an ant"?
However, upon further reflection, there is some merit to Musk's actions.
Although Elon Musk's personal wealth once reached a staggering $350 billion when he announced his partnership with DaXia six months ago, these assets are all valuations, a collection of stocks and investments in his companies, making it difficult to cash out on a large scale. His actual cash flow may not be that abundant.
Although Chen Yu's net worth is only over 300 billion Daxia coins, which is nearly 10 times less than that of Niu Siwei, his wealth mainly comes from financial investments, and most of it is cash flow, which is relatively flexible to use.
Most importantly, Chen Yu has influence in the investment community.
Thanks to his accurate investments in technology, new energy, and future technology trends over the past two years, Chen Yu's name has become a bellwether in the investment world.
Every investment decision he makes sparks heated discussions and inspires others to follow suit.
This kind of influence is an extremely valuable resource for any entrepreneur or business owner seeking funding and market recognition.
Take this humanoid robot project as an example. If it could obtain investment from Chen Yu, it would not only trigger a chain reaction in the financial market, but also suppress the dog-shaped robot in an intangible way. It would be a win-win situation.
However, without an extreme cold apocalypse, Newton's idea is indeed sound.
But what time is it now? We're trapped in an unprecedented cold, we've entered the apocalypse!
In such an extreme environment, it's both funny and exasperating that Musk is still trying to promote his company.
“Sigh, Mr. Chen, you have no idea how difficult things are for me right now.” Niusk sighed heavily. “Because of my identity as a member of the Merica Empire, many people in Great Xia are prejudiced against me, saying that I’m a foreign company making money in Great Xia, and that supporting my company’s products is supporting the Merica government. They’re keeping a close watch on me. In Merica, the government is also quite critical of my cooperation with Great Xia. They investigate me every few days, and many people are also dissatisfied with my investment in factories in Great Xia, saying that I’m not giving jobs to the people of Merica but instead giving jobs to people from Great Xia…”
“Old Niu, technology knows no borders. Let’s not be bound by the prejudices and misunderstandings of those people.” Chen Yu interrupted Niu Ke, speaking earnestly, “Actually, you and I are the same kind of people. Our mission in this life is to contribute our strength to the progress and development of mankind. We must look at the world beyond our country and at all humanity beyond our race. The concepts of nation and ethnicity are just shackles that bind our ideals!”
"Clap clap clap~" Upon hearing Chen Yu's remarks, Niu Ke couldn't help but applaud, his eyes sparkling with admiration and resonance.
"I wish we had met sooner! Why didn't I get to know you sooner? Just because of what you said today, I'm definitely going to be your friend!" Niu Sk excitedly shook Chen Yu's hand.
Chen Yu smiled and patted Niu Siqi on the shoulder, quite satisfied with Niu Siqi's performance.
What he just said to Newt was certainly not meant to preach about dedication, or that science knows no borders and that nations and ethnicities are constraints on technological advancement; that was just his rhetoric.
He simply wanted to deeply instill this concept in Niu Si's mind so that he could better bring Niu Si into his Tianyu base and have him work for him.
However, this matter needs to be handled step by step; rushing things would backfire. Therefore, Chen Yu stopped there and did not continue to discuss the topic in depth.
As night deepened, the conversation around the campfire gradually shifted to more relaxed topics.
Everyone ate grilled skewers, chatting and laughing, enjoying themselves immensely on this frigid snowy night.
However, at that moment, an alarm from the RV's security system interrupted the pleasant gathering.
The alarm blared sharply and urgently, instantly freezing everyone's smiles and creating a tense atmosphere.
