Who would still be a social slave when they are so rich?

The flight from Hawaii to Shanghai takes about nine hours. By the time Su Chen's private jet, Yunmengze, landed at Pudong Airport, it was already 9:30 p.m.

Su Chen stepped off the plane with a solemn expression, and Chen Fei and the others behind him were not much different, all looking preoccupied.

On the way back, Su Chen looked up the situation in the southern seas online and finally understood the attitude of Arthur and Li Mingze at the airport. It seemed that they thought we, the weaker party, would definitely lose.

During this time, Su Chen couldn't contain his curiosity. Once he entered the domestic territory, he immediately called Chen Yao to ask how they were doing. As expected, he couldn't get through to Chen Yao.

Later, Su Chen thought about it and decided to call Xiao Chen, since he knew more about this matter.

After he finished the call, he realized that the seriousness of the situation had exceeded his imagination. Not only had Xiao Chen himself fled from the capital to the south, but even Xiao's father, who was far away in the northwest, had personally rushed to the southern sea area.

Su Chen had asked, somewhat presumptuously, whether a real fight would break out, to which Xiao Chen replied with only one sentence: all the fleets had already received their body bags, including him.

The situation was at a point where it could erupt at any moment.

"boss!"

At this moment, Pei Rang's voice rang in Su Chen's ears, immediately bringing Su Chen back to his senses. Only then did he realize that he had unknowingly walked to the car.

"Hmm!" Su Chen nodded slightly and got into the Rolls-Royce that came to pick him up.

After the car door closed, Pei Rang immediately whispered to Chen Fei, "Fei, what's wrong with the boss? Why does he look so pale?"

"It's about the south!" Chen Fei replied quickly, then immediately opened the passenger door and got in.

"South?" Pei Rang was slightly taken aback, but immediately realized what was going on. He remembered the phone call Su Chen had made a few hours earlier, asking him to compile all the information about the group's machinery manufacturing and electronics industries, especially the expert data in these two areas.

At the time, Pei Rang was a little puzzled as to why his boss had asked him to organize all this. Now he understood that Su Chen was preparing to make some big move because of the situation in the southern sea.

He knew a bit about his boss, Su Chen.

Every time such an arrangement is made, it is followed by a shocking major move!

Pei Rang took a deep breath, quickly sat in the back seat on the other side, and waited for the other guards to get into the car behind before signaling Xue Yi, who was the driver, to start the car and Captain Chen slowly drove out of the airport.

The car was silent except for the music playing from the car stereo.

After a long while, Su Chen suddenly asked, "Pei Rang, how's the data I asked you to organize coming along?"

"The data is all organized, boss!" Pei Rang quickly took out an encrypted tablet from his briefcase, unlocked it, and handed it to Su Chen.

"Most of the group's mechanical and electronic experts are concentrated in the Zhengdao Industrial Park. In addition, there is an unmanned equipment manufacturing company, which mainly manufactures various unmanned equipment, but the level of experts in this field is slightly lacking."

The experts in the relevant industries on Zhengdao Island are either academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering or Yangtze River Scholars, which are naturally far superior to the technical leaders of the group's subsidiaries.

Su Chen took the tablet and quickly scanned the documents with his eyes. He couldn't help but frown. The main problem was that there were too few people, and they couldn't even set up a basic framework.

Handing the platform back to Pei Rang, Su Chen paused for a moment before slowly saying, "Increase the recruitment and training of technical personnel in the company, especially experts in their respective cutting-edge fields. Don't be afraid of spending money; as long as they have real skills, that's enough!"

"Of course... don't bring in any moles, especially experts and key technical personnel. Make sure to do thorough background checks, especially on whether they have studied abroad. Investigate everything thoroughly. You can call Raymond for help later!"

At first, Pei Rang was a little hesitant, since he had no connections to deal with things abroad. But as soon as Su Chen mentioned Raymond, he instantly became motivated.

“Um… Boss, how about we poach people from top universities or renowned research institutes abroad, like those two AI experts?” Pei Rang thought for a moment and asked tentatively.

Upon hearing about the two AI experts, Su Chen recalled their previous collaboration and asked, "By the way, how is the collaboration between Future Company and the AI ​​research institute going?"

“Boss, speaking of this… I was just about to report this to you.” Pei Rang paused slightly, organizing his thoughts before continuing, “Initially, the artificial intelligence system we developed was given to Professor Lin and his team, but later, for some reason, the research institute proposed further cooperation.”

"Further cooperation?" A hint of surprise flashed in Su Chen's eyes. They were just about to hand over the core technology to them, so why did this sudden change happen?

Could it be that, just like with ByteDance back then, someone in Beijing is once again focusing on the artificial intelligence industry?

“Yes, further cooperation to build the first artificial intelligence industrial park in China. It seems that the higher-ups want to make the artificial intelligence industry bigger and stronger, and to make it widespread in all walks of life.” Pei Rang’s voice was still tinged with excitement.

If the first artificial intelligence industrial park in China is successfully built, it will incubate many emerging leaders in the technology industry, and it is not impossible for the industrial park to become a unicorn in the artificial intelligence industry.

Su Chen did not respond immediately, but tapped his fingers lightly on the car window frame, making a rhythmic thumping sound.

In his heart, he was wondering if there was any ulterior motive behind this. Was it simply a matter of wanting to expand and strengthen the artificial intelligence industry, or was he trying to use Su Chen as a henhouse for someone else to incubate eggs?

"Tell me in detail about the artificial intelligence industrial park."

Upon hearing this, Pei Rang's smile faltered, and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly explained the details of the artificial intelligence industrial park.

The location of this artificial intelligence industrial park is planned for the southeastern coastal area, but the exact location has not yet been determined. This is because the industrial technology in this area is relatively mature, which is very helpful for the development of the industrial park.

As for management, it will still be led by Future Company or Yunmengze Group, but the research institute will be responsible for technology, and the industrial park will decide on subsequent development. So overall, the decision-making power is still in the hands of Yunmengze.

After listening to Pei Rang's report, Su Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, his fingers still rhythmically tapping the edge of the car window.

After a few seconds of silence in the car, Pei Rang cautiously observed Su Chen's expression and tentatively asked, "Boss, do you think there's something fishy about this collaboration?"

"Whether there's anything fishy going on is unknown for now, but..." Su Chen paused, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression became much more serious, "The key to this artificial intelligence industrial park isn't the park itself, but the core technology. If the research institute controls it all, do you know what that means?"

"It's a tool for blackmail!" Su Chen's voice rose several decibels.

"So... boss, should we continue this collaboration? It's only in the negotiation stage right now. Even if we refuse, it's no big deal. We can just build our own industrial park; after all, those two engineers have that kind of technology!" Pei Rang immediately gave a thumbs up, which was enough to demonstrate their strength in the field of artificial intelligence. Su Chen paused, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "Why not collaborate? But we need to maintain control. Whether it's the industrial park or the technology, we have to decide for ourselves!"

"If Professor Lin calls you again later, just ask him carefully whether they intend to break the terms they agreed on before!"

"Agreement? What agreement!" Pei Rang looked at Su Chen, completely bewildered.

“Uh…” Su Chen then realized that he hadn’t told Pei Rang the contents of the agreement before, but had instead told him about the cooperation between the two parties.

"Ahem~" After an awkward cough, Su Chen immediately told Pei Rang the contents of the agreement: "The research institute's research on artificial intelligence can only be used for military purposes, while we will be responsible for civilian use. Moreover, they will share all the core technologies with us free of charge after updating and iterating the technology."

After listening, Pei Rang clicked his tongue and muttered to himself, "I knew it! This industrial park plan is so good, why are they pushing it forward so slowly? They're testing our limits!"

"If you hadn't brought this up, boss, the research institute might have actually taken the lead in developing the technology for the industrial park." He was also glad that he hadn't rushed things forward.

Su Chen calmly waved his hand, indicating to Pei Rang that there was no need to worry so much. "Alright, this is not a big problem. Anyway, we have the core technology in our hands now. If they have any ulterior motives, we can just kick them out of the game."

"As long as we maintain full control, even if someone tries to take over the industrial park, they will fail."

Pei Rang nodded. He now had a clear understanding of the situation regarding the artificial intelligence industrial park and naturally knew how to proceed.

"By the way, boss, what about mechanical and electronic experts... do you think we should look for them from various universities? We have many collaborations with the G7 university alliance, so we can probably find some top experts," Pei Rang asked after putting the tablet down.

Su Chen waved his hand gently, "Forget it, I'll handle this myself. Going through the group's channels will be much slower. You should focus on cultivating top talent in the various companies under the group!"

Upon hearing this, Pei Rang nodded. Seeing Su Chen close his eyes and squint slightly, he immediately gave Chen Fei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, a look, signaling him to turn down the music before he began to think about what Su Chen had just told him.

……

Ocean View One, Basement!
The Rolls-Royce came to a smooth stop at the elevator entrance. Chen Fei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, quickly got out of the car and respectfully opened the rear door.

Just as Su Chen was about to get out of the car, he saw Pei Rang opening his door and immediately stopped him, saying, "Alright, you don't need to get out. Go back and rest early."

After saying that, without waiting for Pei Rang to reply, he saw Su Chen get out of the car and close the car door.

After watching Su Chen and Chen Fei enter the elevator, Pei Rang then instructed the temporary driver, Xue Yi, to start the car and drive away.

"Sir, you must be tired from your journey! I just made some supper, I'll go get you some bowls and chopsticks!"

As soon as Su Chen and his companion entered the room, they were spotted by Aunt Tang, who was carrying dishes out of the kitchen, and she quickly greeted them.

The reason she was here was that Pei Rang received Su Chenfei's call about returning to Shanghai, and immediately called Aunt Tang to ask her to prepare a sumptuous late-night snack so that Su Chenfei and the others, who had traveled a long way, could have something hot to eat as soon as they entered the house.

This arrangement... is quite detailed.

A hint of surprise flashed in Su Chen's eyes as he looked at the table full of steaming food and couldn't help but smile, "Aunt Tang, thank you so much!"

Aunt Tang, who had just taken out the bowls and chopsticks, heard Su Chen's words and quickly put them down, waving her hand and saying, "Sir, I'm so grateful to you, how could I possibly trouble you? Sometimes I even feel like my salary is too hot to handle."

Whether in Beijing or Shanghai, Su Chen spends very little time at home and is basically never busy.

Especially after returning to Shanghai, she had a lot of free time. She would just come over for a walk every day, and she didn't have to lift a finger to clean the place. The property management provided professional cleaners who would keep the whole house spotless. At most, she would just supervise the cleaning.

Such a leisurely life as a nanny, earning a five-figure salary every month, is simply a life like that of a god.

"Sir, I specially made pigeon soup for you. Have some to relieve your fatigue!" Aunt Tang said as she served Su Chen a bowl, and of course, she didn't forget to serve Chen Fei's as well.

Seeing the fragrant late-night snack, Su Chen immediately sat down and picked up the bowl of pigeon soup served by Aunt Tang. It had a faint medicinal smell, but it made Su Chen's eyes light up.

"This soup is really good!" Su Chen finished the pigeon soup in the bowl in just a few gulps.

"Don't just stand there, aren't you hungry?" Su Chen saw that Chen Fei hadn't sat down and knew what was going on, so he immediately pointed to the empty seat opposite him.

Upon hearing this, Chen Fei first bowed slightly to Su Chen and said "Yes," before walking over to the empty seat and sitting down.

To say he wasn't hungry would be a lie. If Aunt Tang hadn't been there, he might have been more casual. He had shamelessly moved closer to Su Chen when Su Chen sat down earlier. But with other people around, he had to do his duty as a bodyguard, even if they were close friends.

For the late-night snack... Aunt Tang made a total of six dishes. Apart from the pigeon soup, the other five dishes were relatively light Huaiyang cuisine. After all, it was already 10 p.m., and Su Chen and the others were tired from their journey. If they ate spicy food, they would probably have to get up in the middle of the night to find water.

Su Chen and Chen Fei were quite good at eating; they ate for almost half an hour, finishing almost all the dishes on the table.

They were all quite full and collapsed on the sofa, not wanting to move at all.

"Aunt Tang, go and rest after you're done tidying up. Just make some porridge for tomorrow morning, no need to worry about lunch!" Looking at Aunt Tang who was busy in the dining room, Su Chen thought about tomorrow's schedule.

"Okay, sir!" Aunt Tang nodded quickly in response, without saying anything about why she didn't eat lunch at home; she was smart enough to know better.

After lying on the sofa for about ten minutes, feeling much more comfortable, Su Chen prepared to get up and head upstairs to his bedroom when his phone suddenly rang in his pocket.

Su Chen immediately stopped and took his phone out of his pocket. When he saw the caller ID on the screen, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Despite his thoughts, Su Chen's hands didn't stop moving; he immediately pressed the call button.

"Hey..." (End of Chapter)
