YM778.TV Chapter 786: I'll Go!
“What? Can’t I come to headquarters without having something to do? If I hadn’t changed my mind this time, I wouldn’t even know how many good things you took from my house!” Zhou Chao said with a slightly serious tone, casting a glance at Ling Chen.
“Of course you can come, Boss. The whole Dragonfly Group belongs to you. You can come whenever you want!”
Seeing Ling Chen’s righteous appearance, Zhou Chao gave him an irritated look. Despite his age, he still played around with Ling Chen like a child.
“Alright, let’s cut the jokes. Let’s talk about something serious!”
Seeing Zhou Chao’s serious expression, Ling Chen, who was initially playful, also straightened up in his chair.
He knew Zhou Chao must have something very important to discuss, otherwise he wouldn’t have come to find him right after getting off the plane.
“Ling Chen, I’m planning to establish a company in the field of artificial intelligence. The location has already been chosen, right here in Fog City.”
“Artificial intelligence? Boss, are you talking about that?” Ling Chen looked at Zhou Chao with some surprise.
As for what Ling Chen referred to as “that,” Zhou Chao understood it to be the artificial intelligence “Xiao Guo” that he currently possessed.
“Yes and no!”
Hearing this, Ling Chen was even more puzzled. He knew that when the boss talked about serious matters, he wouldn’t deliberately beat around the bush.
Seeing Ling Chen’s puzzled expression, Zhou Chao smirked slightly. “Apart from artificial intelligence, there are also intelligent healthcare, autonomous driving, brain-computer interfaces, bionic robots, VR, and other high-tech technologies. We will realize these technologies one by one and apply them where they are needed!”
Hearing Zhou Chao’s words, Ling Chen was not only shocked but also worried.
“Boss, we haven’t touched on any of these technologies. It could be said that we are starting from scratch. Even if we have a fairly mature artificial intelligence technology in our hands, researching these projects will require a huge amount of time, money, and manpower. Even if we’re not short of money, finding talent in these areas is not something that can be done overnight!”
These technologies are invested heavily in by many world-class research institutes or companies. After all, the value of these technologies is self-evident. Just taking VR technology as an example, it’s possible to create a trillion-dollar company.
If VR technology can be combined with brain-computer interface technology to achieve a gaming world that can only be seen in movies, such as in the movie “Ready Player One”, it would undoubtedly be a grand carnival for game enthusiasts, and of course, it would also be the doomsday for game companies worldwide!
Who would still use a keyboard and mouse when everyone can experience the excitement of games firsthand?
Currently, the total annual revenue of the global gaming industry has reached 140 billion US dollars. Just relying on games alone can bring in a lot of money, not to mention the other technologies.
However, realizing these technologies is not something that can be achieved in a short time. Moreover, there are many people with such vision, and many foreign technology giants have long been engaged in systematic research in this area. It’s just unclear how far they have progressed.
Zhou Chao looked at Ling Chen’s furrowed brow, and laughed heartily, rarely seeing Ling Chen looking so worried.
“Why are you laughing, Boss? We’re talking about serious matters here!” Ling Chen was a bit confused for a moment.
Putting away his smile, Zhou Chao said lightly, “When have you seen me fight a battle without certainty?”
At Ling Chen’s words, his pupils contracted instantly, and a breathtaking thought flashed through his mind, “Could it be that the boss holds the complete technology chain?”
After swallowing hard and feeling a bit of dryness in his throat, he picked up the tea and drank three cups in a row before feeling a bit better.
“Boss, are you trying to say that you have all the technologies you mentioned before? The complete set, perhaps?” Ling Chen asked with a hint of anticipation, hoping that it was indeed as he imagined.
Zhou Chao didn’t rush to answer. Instead, he took a small sip of tea before saying, “That’s right. I have a complete set of technologies in my hands. Besides the ones I mentioned, there are also several other high-tech technologies, all complete sets.”
Hearing Zhou Chao’s words, Ling Chen burst into laughter directly, muttering, “Hehe, Boss is amazing! A technological empire will be born under my witness!”
“Ahem, that’s enough. Look at you, acting like a big brother. If this gets out, it will ruin the company’s image!” Zhou Chao joked.
Ling Chen, who came back to his senses, scratched his head in embarrassment.
But soon his expression became tense again, and he asked nervously, “Boss, are you really planning to make a big move?”
“Why wouldn’t I? If I didn’t really intend to realize these technologies, why would I come to talk to you about it? I just want to discuss with you how to quickly establish this company.”
“Boss, if the artificial intelligence system is exposed, won’t it attract attention from higher-ups? You know, this technology can be considered a big weapon!”
As he said this, Ling Chen’s face instantly became worried. After all, having access to such a “big weapon” that could enter any corner of the internet, how could it possibly be controlled by just one person, let alone an entrepreneur?
If someone had malicious intentions, it would undoubtedly lead to a disaster.
