Don’t panic if you get scammed, give him a Desert Eagle instead.

"Alright then, in that case, I'll go with you. But I heard that Tony is still not married."

Xu Jiajia's concern was that Tony was a bachelor who had no time to think about marriage and instead focused all his energy on his career.

"There's only one reason this guy doesn't get married: he's a playboy. I heard he brings a different woman home every night."

"what?"

Xu Jiajia was a little worried.

"Let me put it this way, the situation is actually far more complicated than that. Although he's a playboy, he's definitely a genius. However, his private life is very messy. He likes to gamble at casinos, and he always finds a woman near the casino to take home for the night. Everyone knows what's going to happen."

Xu Jiajia was even more depressed at this point.

"Isn't this a typical scumbag?!"...

"Although he's a scumbag, we have to admit he's a genius. Our most important task now is to cooperate with him as much as possible, while also finding out his weaknesses."

This was precisely their main purpose in traveling to Atlantis.

"it is good!"

After settling their son Xu Tianfeng in, they finally boarded the plane bound for Atlantis. To demonstrate their power, they were traveling on a private jet this time.

Meanwhile, Tony also began preparations after learning of Jiang Chuan's impending arrival.

"No matter what you think, I must personally go to the airport to greet them when they arrive. I don't need to repeat this task again, do I?"

The board members all understood Tony's plan, so no one stopped him. Sure enough, as the plane slowly landed, Jiang Chuan immediately saw Tony, who was there to greet him with a grand ceremony at the airport.

Jiang Chuan immediately realized that Tony's appearance was no accident and there must be something else going on behind the scenes.

"I never expected this to happen when we first met. It's so unexpected."

Although the specifics are unclear, one thing is certain: this matter is far from simple, and it's even surprising whether people can make any changes.

"Hey!"

After thinking it over, Jiang Chuan sighed.

"Well, we do need to do this now, but everyone knows the process won't be easy."

Although the situation is complicated and achieving the goal does not seem easy, it at least shows that they still have a chance.

At this moment, Jiang Chuan smiled first.

"Could I have a look at your artificial intelligence technology? At least let me see your most prized possessions. Don't worry, if you come to my country, I'll show you everything I have."

"of course can."

After everything was ready, Jiang Chuan smiled again. Although he didn't know their specific situation, he was certain that things were that simple.

"Alright then, let's get started."

Although the industrial expo had not yet started, Jiang Chuan brought his wife to Tony's house that evening and saw his laboratory in the basement.

“This lab is on the basement level. I don’t usually open it to the public, but you are an exception.”

After seeing the laboratory, Jiang Chuan understood a principle: although the results were not simple, the work still had to continue.

"Alright then!"

However, today was truly different for Tony. The meal was prepared according to their tastes, but it was clear that Jiang Chuan wasn't used to this kind of lavish feast.

"I've heard you're a very important figure in China, right? Well, I have a question for you now: can you actually help me solve my current problem? I mean, can you meet that standard?"

"What do you mean?"

"You are also one of the world's top arms dealers. Although I am not directly involved in weapons design and development, my technical skills are still very strong. Many arms dealers in China have transformed their businesses by relying on my technology."

"Do you mean you want to cooperate with me, or compete with me? What exactly do you want?"

Jiang Chuan likes to be straightforward.

"We are all working hard for our respective countries. I know you now have the world's largest arms sales platform, and I also plan to build my own. But regardless of whether it's true or not, I'll just say one thing: we'd better coexist peacefully. If you take away my interests, I won't let it go."

Jiang Chuan understood. This wasn't cooperation; it was practically a declaration of war.

"Sure, I'm a very easygoing person. You can follow my lead or compete directly with me. I'm always sincere to my friends, but I have plenty of methods for dealing with my enemies."

This confrontational dinner instantly brought their relationship to a freezing point. However, Xu Jiajia, sitting to the side, seemed to sense the problem.

"It seems a bit inappropriate for you two to be so tense right after meeting."

Jiang Chuan smiled.

While it's unclear what this means, it's certainly hard to say whether they can shoulder this responsibility.

"Hey!"

Although it's unclear exactly what happened, everyone understands the impact of their efforts.

"Alright then, since this is the result, let's give it a try. Although I don't know what will happen, this is the standard."

"Alright!"...

Tony gradually realized that Jiang Chuan was indeed an extremely outstanding person, and it would not be easy to gain an advantage from him directly.

"Actually, today is just a welcome banquet, and I don't know why I brought up this issue."

"It's alright. I've always preferred to be straightforward. As I just told you, it's actually a good thing to put this issue out in the open."

After that, they stopped mentioning these topics, but there seemed to be a subtle feeling between them.

"Our tasks for now are roughly this simple. Let's make our own arrangements first."

After making preparations, everyone immediately got to work.

The next day, Jiang Chuan temporarily left the house.

They went straight to the accommodation that had been prepared, and Xiao Wang immediately began to report to Jiang Chuan on Tony's current progress.

"You don't need to tell me all this. Let me put it this way: I know what kind of person he is. He doesn't have the ability to show off in front of me."

After visiting the laboratory, Jiang Chuan realized that the actual situation was exactly as he had seen before.

"What's most worrying right now is whether AI agents will develop self-awareness. We've been monitoring it closely, and Yajet has also been paying attention to this issue recently."

“If you and Yajet don’t have a personal relationship, it’s best not to get too close. The reason is simple: we’re now divided into two camps again.”

"understand!"

Although everyone appears to be on the same page, everyone knows that things are not that simple.

"To be honest, I don't agree with their approach either, but what can we do? They're trying to force us to change through this method, but we simply can't accept this reality." Everyone understands that this feeling might cause some conflict, but the actual situation is far more complex and could even produce unexpected results.

"Alright then, let's do our jobs well first, and then talk about other things later. That's the only way."

After making preparations, the industrial expo opened as scheduled, and they attended as a delegation. Then, something unexpected happened: Tony surprised everyone by showcasing his latest technological achievement at the opening ceremony.

He flew down from the sky in a unique way, then piloted his mech to the scene and demonstrated how to operate the demolition.

Jiang Chuan smiled slightly from below the stage.

They've already played with this stuff.

Moreover, Chen Tianfei has upgraded this mecha to nano-mode during this period, so there is no need to worry about the mechanized feel anymore.

In fact, Chen Tianfei had been watching the live broadcast on TV the whole time, and he smiled when he saw this change.

"Actually, what we really want everyone to know this time is not our equipment, but our latest research achievement - artificial intelligence system."

Tony said with a smile.

"This item is not for sale, but don't worry, if you buy the armor directly, we can give it to you for free, but it will definitely not be the original version. You know, if we release the original version, we'll be out of business, right?"

Jiang Chuan roughly understood why Tony was unwilling to do this; he was mainly worried that if this thing were copied, the outcome would be different.

Sitting in the audience, he began to realize that Tony was not the spoiled brat they had imagined, and the feeling described in the book seemed to be emerging.

"We need to be careful with this person."

"why?"

Xu Jiajia asked directly.

"This guy seems cynical and has the air of a rich kid, but he still has his own opinions when it matters. If he were a real fool, he would have just released the code now, but he didn't."

"Too!"

As this feeling grew stronger, Xu Jiajia also realized that Tony was not an easy person to deal with.

The press conference throughout the morning presented a variety of perspectives, but things didn't seem that simple, because everyone knew that with the current conditions, it would be difficult to gain everyone's approval.

So after thinking it over, it's really hard to say whether the role they're playing now will be recognized by everyone.

Moreover, everyone knows how much this sense of identity affects people, which is indeed a worrying reality.

In fact, everyone knows that whether or not people can make changes to the current situation is a completely different question.

After the opening ceremony, Tony walked up to Jiang Chuan once again.

"How does it feel?"

"That's quite novel. In any case, I never thought of solving the problem in this way. It seems that you are indeed much better than me in terms of creativity."

"Haha! I came up with all of this myself."

However, at noon, Tony did not choose to host a banquet for everyone, but instead, as before, hosted a banquet for Jiang Chuan alone.

"Here's the thing, I hope you can come to the welcome reception tonight. But I'd like to talk to you about lunch first. I know you're currently my biggest competitor, but also the person I most want to collaborate with. Although we still have disagreements, I didn't expect you to give me so much face."

Clearly, Tony had begun to notice the changes in Jiang Chuan.

"It's okay. Everyone is very talented, so the outcome is hard to predict. Let's stick to the original method for now."

Once everything was ready, everyone immediately got to work.

At this point, Tony, still following his own ideas, revealed his plan.

“I plan to build a sales platform using my own abilities. If you're willing, we can join forces. I also know that your sales platform is state-owned, and I've already decided to cooperate with your country. If you agree, we can sign an agreement and work together.”

"Okay, but I need to go back and discuss this with my superiors, since this is a project we jointly invested in."

In fact, Jiang Chuan knew that if Tony were to directly join the weapons sales platform and start a cooperation, the sales platform would likely be thrown into chaos.

But there's no other way now; they've already brought it up, so we can only agree.

That afternoon, Jiang Chuan hurriedly made a phone call to his superiors.

"Alright, let's handle it this way for now."

Although it's unclear how to deal with the specific situation, Jiang Chuan knows very well that their current task is just that simple.

After making preparations, Jiang Chuan immediately took action as instructed. However, he understood that his superiors had only given him a few words in response, and that things would have to be done gradually. The key issue was that he hadn't brought his scientific and negotiation teams with him this time.

Sure enough, Tony brought it up again at the party that evening.

"After this industrial expo ends, why don't you send a delegation to negotiate with us? However, it seems that the higher-ups don't quite approve of this right now. I estimate that after we finish our talks, this proposal will still have to be decided by the higher-ups, after all, we are representing the country."

"No!"

Tony smiled.

"If you want to do it that way, that's fine, but I would prefer that your country send a delegation so we can talk together, reach a goal, and then get started. I don't want to go through the motions twice."

"Well, that depends on the situation."

Xu Jiajia smiled.

"After all, as you know, every country has its own scientific system and its own legal system, and we must safeguard the interests of our country."

Everyone knew in their hearts that this was a good form of recognition. But Xu Jiajia was also aware of the current situation.

"Okay, that's roughly the result. Don't think too much about it for now. Focus on solving some problems first, and then make various judgments. That's the situation."

Since there are still many questions that cannot be explained, Xu Jiajia had to pay attention to this characteristic from the beginning; otherwise, they would have had no chance to make changes again.

"All right!"

At this moment, Jiang Chuan smiled.

"Let's do it this way. Let's do it the way my wife says. I'll go back to China first, and if it really doesn't work out, I'll take my wife back tomorrow."

"So early?"

Tony was somewhat surprised.

"I don't like to drag things out. Do you have other reasons for leaving me in Atlantis? If not, I don't want to deal with these social niceties anymore."

"it is good!"

In fact, after learning about Tony's situation, Jiang Chuan felt that staying here would definitely cause trouble. Therefore, he needed to hurry back to the Great Shang Kingdom to discuss this matter with his superiors. (End of Chapter)
