Free Web NovelChapter 1050: Chapter 284: Starting a Company Soon and First Overseas Trip of the Year (Career) (2)
It’s also worth mentioning that Xu Lin currently has over 300 billion RMB in his account, all as cash flow, fully capable of accomplishing great things.
Money is not an issue for Xu Lin at this stage; he’s always viewed money as dirt. He aims to achieve big things. To still think about making money at this point is too small-minded.
"Will the company go public in the future?"
The next day, Chi Linyue messaged him.
Chi Linyue was actually just casually asking. She was browsing online comments and noticed that curious netizens were discussing that Young Master Xu’s Moon God Technology would effortlessly exceed Apple’s company value in the future, starting at a valuation of at least five trillion US dollars, among other things, blah blah blah.
Currently, Apple’s value is almost four trillion US dollars.
Netizens are saying, Young Master Xu’s company, surpassing four trillion US dollars, wouldn’t be challenging at all?
"Not going public, my company shares belong to all employees."
Xu Lin replied to her.
Xu Lin firmly believes in one saying: What’s the fuss of six dynasties, if only for private gains?
Going public turns into a tool for others to cash in?
Only when shares belong to all employees can the core value of the company remain unchanged.
Xu Lin’s ambition is to change the world, not to play around with you.
In the following days, the company’s formation process continued enthusiastically.
On the 8th.
Xu Lin embarked on his journey to North America.
This is his first overseas trip this year, aiming to set up a layout over there in North America.
Xu Lin intends to extend his reach formally.
Before departing for North America, Xu Lin had Tilin release the news of his visit to the other side.
The upper echelons of North America naturally took some actions.
In the eyes of the Western world, Xu Lin is already the most powerful scientist of the 21st century.
As for greatness, release the creation method of Intelligent Life first, then you’ll be a great scientist.
Xu Lin was picked up at Los Angeles airport, Tilin was already waiting outside in advance.
"I’ve already had the word released, I estimate they’ll soon reach out; last time you came, they wanted to connect but you left early, leaving them empty-handed."
Tilin mentioned this.
"This time I’m here to discuss a few things with them."
"Can you elaborate?"
"To be exact, talk about conditions. When the time comes, we’ll go together."
"Alright."
"Hopefully this year, if things go smoothly, I’ll establish Moon God Technology’s multinational company over on Moon Island, how about you take charge then?"
"You trust me so much?"
"You have the ability, and I also want to test your skills, see how capable you are, if you can manage this machine, besides, you’re not the sole decision-maker." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Xu Lin flicked the cigarette ash.
"Okay then, let me know when you arrange it."
Tilin leaned in and gave him a kiss.
At night, they went wild together all night, after months of not meeting, Tilin was as eager as a wolf, foreign stallions aren’t as roundabout, they just start straight away without much ado.
Local time, the next morning.
Sure enough, the North American upper echelon came over, attempting to connect with Xu Lin.
"Young Master Xu, hello hello, I’m Oke, from North America..."
The leader was a middle-aged Caucasian man, wearing a suit, handsome in appearance, and in good shape, typical of the elite in Western high society.
After introducing himself and explaining his identity, he reached out for a handshake with Xu Lin.
"Mr. Oke, hello."
Xu Lin also politely shook hands with him.
"Young Master Xu, our upper echelon would like to meet you; don’t know about your schedule, is it convenient?"
"How about tomorrow morning?"
The initiative now lay with Xu Lin; he proposed the meeting time.
"Young Master Xu, let me check in first, please wait a moment."
"Ok."
He walked aside, making a call, after over a minute of conversation. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Oke returned and said, "Young Master Xu, our upper echelon said tomorrow morning is fine for a meeting."
"Okay."
Thus, the meeting time was set for tomorrow morning at nine.
In the evening.
Tilin said, "As you mentioned, you want future company operations to go smoothly here, you would need to offer something up, otherwise they’ll struggle to let you in, they’re a bunch of greedy crocodiles."
"Greedy crocodiles, well put."
Xu Lin remained optimistic: "One meeting won’t achieve much, and I’m not expecting it; this time, I’m not here to accomplish anything."
"Scientist, you seem to have a plan?"
"Isn’t it obvious? See my performance tomorrow, my budget is to let talks collapse."
"No wonder you’re so optimistic!"
"Because future talks will continue, successfully, in about five months, my Virtual World will come to life, by then, my trump card won’t just be Intelligent Life, I’ll have the even greater Virtual World, they’ll sooner or later come asking for me, even if they can’t swallow their pride, their stance will soften."
"Virtual World is more grandiose than Intelligent Life, what’s the rationale behind that?"
"Intelligent Life is just one life, although powerful, whereas Virtual World is an entire world. Consider that your local interest groups try to leverage my Intelligent Life for profit, right?"
"Right."
Tilin nodded.
Xu Lin asked again: "So-called interests are external in the face of birth, aging, sickness, and death; they brought nothing at birth and take nothing at death, and aren’t your folks over there very afraid of dying?"
"Not only afraid of dying but also afraid of aging, physical functions decline day by day, they are more anxious than anyone."
Tilin grew more curious, "Scientist, what are you implying? How does this relate to your Virtual World?"
"My Virtual World, in the future, could allow humans to detach from the physical body, store consciousness within, essentially meaning they wouldn’t die. Tell me, would these scum demand this from me?"
"Scientist, I suddenly find you terrifying, you’d become the God of Mankind by then. But on that note, can humans truly detach from the physical body allowing consciousness to exist independently in the Virtual World without aging or dying?"
"It’s possible, but I wouldn’t do it."
"Why not?"
"Back in our Ming Dynasty, there appeared a group called shi-shen, which gradually grew powerful enough to wreak havoc on the nation, eventually exhausting the country’s resources. Should these scum have longevity, wouldn’t that be terrible? But, offering them a notion, they would beg me."
Xu Lin thought history wasn’t remarkably complicated, just that similar groups as shi-shen were stirring trouble; they merely change forms across historical periods, for Xu Lin, it’s quite simple, these people are scum, without exception.
Now, these folks are keeping an eye on Xu Lin.
Tilin pondered, blurting out a question: "What about when you grow old, your physical functions decline, facing death, how would you handle it?"
"For me, at that time, I hope to be carefree like an Emperor from ancient times in my country, Han Gaozu Liu Bang."
"Your Han Gaozu Liu Bang, was he truly carefree?"
"Of course, he was very carefree."
Liu Bang’s attitude toward life and death was absolutely transcendent; he was open-minded and magnanimous, accepting death without clinging to the world, historically unique among emperors.
Xu Lin: "I hope decades later, I too leave as carefree as him."
"Scientist, revisiting the earlier topic, does that mean if your Virtual World succeeds, it equates to controlling the world?"
"Controlling the world is immature; haven’t you noticed in many fantasy works, they love to portray the big villain as someone trying to control the world?"
Xu Lin held a cigarette, just about to light it with a lighter when Tilin took over the lighter, lighting it for him.
Thoughtful.
Xu Lin said: "Talking about controlling the world, wouldn’t that make me the villain?"
"Haha... anyway, you’re virtually no different than a big villain and demon in Japan; previously you even scared Tokyo."
Xu Lin was indifferent: "Your nation’s history is too short; you’ve never seen truly great individuals; such person’s transcended personal desires, standing up against history and human nature from countless people’s perspectives... I am someone who has dreams which, if spoken, you probably wouldn’t understand; if I wanted to cause trouble, I could easily bring ruin to the country, but as mentioned earlier, I have dreams."
