Chapter 755 Money Isn't the Point
"You want it?"
"Junior, what do you need this for?"
"Yeah, junior, this terminal technology is very expensive, otherwise there would be companies in China that wouldn't be unable to import it."
Upon hearing Shen Ci's words, everyone expressed shock and disapproval.
But Shen Ci remained calm and continued to make a surprising statement: "I have my own plans, and I not only want it, but also the exclusive agency rights for this terminal technology in China."
"Senior Tianrui, go and contact them to find out what they're up to."
"The Chinese agency rights?" Luo Tianrui frowned, clearly not understanding why his junior was doing this: "Junior, this is no small amount of money. Do you need to go to this extent just to restrain the Li family?"
“Of course we need it!” Shen Ci’s eyes darkened, and he said coldly, “I can buy this technology at a high price, but I absolutely cannot give it to the Li family.”
Becoming the exclusive agent means that if the Li family wants to use this technology again, they can only buy it from her.
As expected, she wouldn't give it to the Li family.
Chen Ci's desire for revenge against Li Shi never died; she was simply torturing Li Shi little by little within the bounds of what was permissible, like boiling a frog in lukewarm water.
She would seize any opportunity that could hinder the development of the Li family without hesitation.
From industrial parks to artificial intelligence programs, and then to getting Ji Yongxiu imprisoned, she always took the initiative.
She would definitely not let the Li family have their way this time!
Seeing that she was determined, Luo Tianrui had no choice but to nod: "Alright, I'll try to contact them, but our studio is too small, they might not take us seriously."
Shen Ci sneered: "The Li family is big, but aren't they still stingy and unwilling to spend money? As long as I'm willing to spend money, that's enough for them."
"And you don't need to worry, buying this terminal technology might not be a waste of money."
Shen Ci looked at everyone and asked, "I'm sure you've all been thinking about what would happen to domestic AI products if this technology fell into the hands of the Li family, and how our project would be affected."
Everyone nodded silently upon hearing this.
Shen Ci added, "So even if the Li family doesn't buy it, we can't predict whether other companies will suddenly introduce European technology in the future. Top domestic artificial intelligence groups such as the Gu family, Lin Yang Group, and Sanbao are probably aware of the existence of this European technology and may introduce it."
"Since this technology will have a huge impact on the market and us once it enters the domestic market, the simplest and most direct way is for us to obtain the exclusive domestic agency rights for this technology."
"In this way, we can decide who gets to use this technology and in which field it's applied!"
After Shen Ci's explanation, everyone's minds gradually became much clearer.
Luo Tianrui analyzed in a low voice: "The field of artificial intelligence is currently in a period of vigorous expansion, and its scope is becoming wider and wider. Gu's has already made breakthrough progress in autonomous driving technology, and Sanbao is already building smart medical and emotional robots."
"For larger and more complex projects like these, our program may need to be upgraded to at least the seventh or eighth generation to be compatible with them."
Because these are groundbreaking fields, unlike smart home appliances which are already fully mature.
Only for fully mature projects will their patches work precisely.
As for immature projects, even their own code needs to be filled in, so their programs are even less likely to be useful.
Luo Tianrui continued, "So, in market areas where our code doesn't meet the requirements, European terminal technology does. We can sell this technology to these more suitable projects."
Shen Ci revealed a smug expression: "I suspect that the reason why the Li family is hesitant to make a decision is because the Li family currently does not have a field that can match this terminal technology. If this technology is only used in ordinary smart home appliances, even if the Li family raises the price and sells them at an inflated price, it will be difficult to make a profit."
Because it's really too expensive!
"We have a good idea for this, but it may not be easy to do. And even if things go smoothly as we expect, we may not actually make any money. The whole thing is quite risky," Peipei analyzed rationally.
Shen Ci calmly replied, "I never intended to make money through this, so please don't feel pressured. I just want to see the Li family in dire straits. If there's any return later, I can spend less. If not, it doesn't matter, because money isn't the point."
Everyone blinked with amused expressions. The junior was really generous; she was willing to spend tens of thousands on a single project just to get involved with the Li family.
“OK, I’ll contact them about this. I’ll let you know as soon as I have any news,” Luo Tianrui said.
Shen Ci nodded: "The sooner the better, don't give the Li family time to react."

The next day, Shen Ci was still having a sweet dream when she heard faint sounds of dry heaving coming from beside her.
"Ugh... ugh..."
Shen Ci groggily opened her eyes, lifted the bed curtain and looked down, only to see Gu Lianxing wearing pajamas squatting on the floor vomiting.
"Miss, are you alright? Are you still drunk?" Shen Ci asked helplessly, but she had already gotten up and left the bed.
He grabbed a bottle of water from the table: "Are you alright? You didn't throw up yesterday when you got back!"
Gu Lianxing vomited until her face turned deathly pale, and weakly took the water that Shen Ci handed her: "I definitely drank fake alcohol last night. I woke up today purely because of a headache."
“Impossible.” Shen Ci immediately denied it: “That bar belongs to my sister-in-law. I was the one who checked the accounts last year. The drinks all came from legitimate channels. They couldn’t be fake.”
"Besides, you were completely drunk when you came out of the bar yesterday. You were just too drunk."
Gu Lianxing rinsed her mouth and shook her head weakly: "I need to rest well today. Darling, you stay and take care of me."
Shen Ci glanced at the time but shook her head and said, "It's really not possible today. I have to take Xiao Min to school today."
"Your sister?"
"Yes, we'll arrange for her to repeat her senior year at 'Guoan Middle School'."
"Why not go to No. 2 Middle School? Isn't 'Guoan' a private school?"
Shen Ci nodded and explained, "It's a private school. No. 2 Middle School doesn't allow boarding students, but she has to. The National Security Bureau is stricter, so we can worry less about her."
"Then wait for me to catch my breath, I'll go with you." Lianxing suddenly found her strength and stood up with a "whoosh".
"You're so hungover, just stay in the dorm and rest. Don't cause any more trouble."
Lianxing insisted on going: "I'm fine. Ever since I heard about Xiaomin's situation, I've felt really sorry for her. Oh right, I need to prepare a gift for her when she starts school."
