Genius Club.

Chapter 274 Another Genius

"Hahahahaha... Welcome, welcome, all the academic masters and young talents!"

Still the familiar place, the familiar way.

In the luxurious European-style hall, Chu Shanhe walked down the stairs with a beaming smile, and raised his glass to the guests attending the Science Charity Dinner:
"Around this time every year, I hold a Science Charity Dinner in Donghai, hoping that more entrepreneurs and people from the society can support the rapidly developing scientific research in our country."

"In the past year, under the leadership of our old friend, Mr. Xu Yun, the entire world scientific community has been developing rapidly and vigorously! Countless disciplines have emerged from hibernation, and countless inventions and creations have come into being!"

"Nowadays, not only has the hibernation cabin technology become mature and is about to enter the mass production stage, but the invention of two new materials, room-temperature superconductors and new hafnium alloys, has also provided a cornerstone for the innovative development of the aerospace and industrial fields. Take the latest achievement as an example... The first test flight of the Dragon State Space Plane is also very exciting! The country's growing prosperity is inseparable from the development of science and technology!"

"Most of the members of our Donghai Chamber of Commerce and friends present today are entrepreneurs, and they don't usually have much contact with things in the field of scientific research. But we must admit that we are the biggest beneficiaries of the rapid development of science and technology and the development of the times! Only the development of science and technology can give birth to more emerging enterprises, more high-tech cutting-edge companies, and more new fields... So in essence, it is science and technology that has changed everyone's life, and naturally, it is science and technology that has made us what we are."

"Therefore... I won't say much. No matter how much I say, it's better to express my respect for scientists and my admiration for scientific research with practical actions! So, this time, in the name of Shanhe Group, I will donate 2 million yuan each to the Donghai City Science Development Fund and Donghai University Research Institute!!"

Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap!
There was warm applause, and men and women, young and old, in the venue all paid sincere respect to Chu Shanhe, the pure and pragmatic President of the East China Chamber of Commerce.

Lin Xian stood in the crowd and applauded with Zhao Yingjun.

Today, Zhao Yingjun wore blue earrings, which were rarely seen.

The long teardrop-shaped sapphire earrings dangled beneath the fair and tender earlobes, reflecting the crystal light.

She seldom wears this pair of earrings.

This is mainly because she seldom wears blue coats and jackets. For this business woman, blue may not be enough to highlight her heroic spirit.

And because I have the obsession with keeping the color of the earrings the same as my coat...so, I only wear this pair of sapphire earrings two or three times a year, and basically only at banquets.

On the contrary, it is the yellow bird...

Every time I saw her, she was wearing blue earrings.

The style of the earrings may change from time to time, but they are always crystal blue, and I have never seen her wear earrings of other colors.

She doesn't have Zhao Yingjun's inexplicable obsessive-compulsive disorder. She can wear coats however she wants and in whatever color she wants...

This is also the reason why Lin Xian repeatedly suspected that Huang Que was Zhao Yingjun from the future, a time traveler, but he was never 100% sure.

Appearance is one aspect;

Habits are the hardest mark for a person to change.

Lin Xian didn't quite believe that Zhao Yingjun, who had such severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, would ever give it up.

"What's wrong? Does it look good?"

Zhao Yingjun noticed Lin Xian's gaze, pinched the earrings beside her cheek with her slender fingers, and looked at Lin Xian with a smile:

"I rarely wear this because I only have this one blue evening gown to wear with it."

"Very beautiful." Lin Xian answered truthfully:
“It’s a beautiful blue.”

……

After Chu Shanhe took the lead in donating money, the entrepreneurs present also generously donated money to scientific research.

The one who donated the most, 100 million yuan, was also a well-known tycoon in the East China business community, and he had a very pleasant chat with Chu Shanhe.

Lin Xian had some impression of him. He also attended last year's charity dinner and donated 8000 million.

For other entrepreneurs, who have tens of millions, millions, or hundreds of thousands of dollars, there is no distinction between high and low when it comes to charity. As long as you are willing to donate real money, there is no way to cheat.

Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun donated 5000 million together in the name of MX Company and Rhine Company.

Brother Wang told Lin Xian yesterday that 5000 million out of the 4000 million was paid by Zhao Yingjun, and Rhine Company only paid 1000 million, which is the same as when he and Kobe teamed up to score 99 points.

"Boss Zhao said that our company is just starting out and we have a lot of money to spend. Besides, we don't have many profitable bases right now, so we just want to grab the Rhine Cat IP and make the most of it... That's why she said that the two companies are sister companies anyway, so we can just donate together and be done with it."

This is what Brother Wang told Lin Xian.

It seems that Zhao Yingjun really takes good care of Rhine Company and takes every aspect into consideration.

how to say.

Lin Xian inexplicably had the illusion that he was still working in the same company... He was still the idle boss, Zhao Yingjun was still the biggest boss, and Brother Wang was still running around working for Mr. Zhao.

amount……

Is there any meaning to my existence?

Why does it feel like they simply moved the office from the 20th floor of MX Company to the building opposite?

There is no separation at all!
But Lin Xian didn't care about these details.

Last year, MX Company made a fortune because of the explosive revenue from Rhine moisturizing cream. The global market was booming, and the moisturizing cream industry was almost completely monopolized. The brand and reputation were well-known, and other cosmetics were also very popular, with a trend of "Rhine products must be high-quality."

Of course, this Rhine is the cosmetics brand Rhine of MX Company, and has nothing to do with his own poor Rhine Company.

It is reasonable to donate more when you make a lot of money.

Lin Xian didn't want to compete with them on this.

After all, whether it was the 20 billion invested by Chu Shanhe in himself, or the 20 billion given by Zhao Yingjun in himself... the pocket money that the two of them took out casually was already all the belongings of this poor little Rhine.

……

When Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun went on stage together to donate money.

Chu Shanhe walked out with a smile, hugged Lin Xian in front of everyone, patted his shoulder, and introduced him to the guests from all walks of life below the stage:

"I don't think I need to introduce Mr. Lin Xian's deeds to you all. He is a brave young man and one of the top ten citizens in Donghai City. In the business field, he created the world-famous Rhine Cat. In the field of scientific research, he established a laboratory in conjunction with a university. In the field of computer science, he won glory for the country and won the championship in the World Hacker Competition. He is truly a role model for the times! A role model for contemporary young people!"

"Brother Lin and I have a very good relationship in private. Some time ago, we went to the Longguo Academy of Sciences together and visited the president of the Longguo Academy, Gao Yan. President Gao also praised Lin Xian and admired Lin Xian's talent, so the Longguo Academy of Sciences' Institute of Astronomy also launched a cooperative project with Lin Xian's Rhine Laboratory. I, Chu, have to admire him... Lin Xian really showed me what it means that the waves behind push the waves ahead! The younger generation is formidable! The pride of the generation is still to be seen!"

Chu Shanhe praised Lin Xian to the utmost.

Those who came to the party today were all smart people, and naturally they all understood what Chu Shanhe wanted to express this time -

[Lin Xian is my Chu Shanhe's good brother. Please give him some face in the future. Please help him wherever you can. Don't make things difficult for him.]

This kind of intimate attitude really surprised everyone.

Chu Shanhe has been a big shot in the East China Sea for so many years, but he has never been so close and caring to anyone. This kind of thoughtfulness and pride from the heart... If you don't know, you would think Chu Shanhe has given birth to another illegitimate child!
Could it be the son-in-law?

But think about it, it's probably unlikely. After all, Chu Shanhe's daughter is only a sophomore in college this year. She is not even 20 years old and is very young.

In the eyes of this generation of parents in Longguo, dating before the age of 23 is considered premature love, and your legs will be broken! ! Marriage after the age of 25 is considered late marriage, and you don’t even go on blind dates but just want to rely on your parents? !

Only those children who seize the two years in between and complete the process of falling in love, getting married and having children at the speed of light can be considered "sensible and filial" in the eyes of their parents.

"Where's Chu Anqing?"

In the Bluetooth headset, VV was confused:
"Why didn't Chu Anqing come today?"

"It's the end of the semester at this point, she must be busy with exams." Lin Xian turned his head and said in a low voice.

"Tsk, boring, bland, gone." The headphones played a sound effect of the voice gradually fading away.

"Ah, right."

VV's voice suddenly became louder:
"Someone is coming to settle accounts with you soon."

"Who?"

"The world's richest man, CEO of Tesla, President of SPACE-T, and owner of Twitter - Elon Jaske!" VV laughed:
"His motorcade will be at the entrance of the club soon. Because you asked me to protect your safety at all times, even when I'm not chatting with you, I'm actually monitoring you in all directions within a few kilometers. If there's any danger, I'll notify you directly."

"By the way... Jask wouldn't really let you pay for his satellites, would he? I moved them all back to their original orbits, and I gave them a few more holes. I can't repay you with evil, can I?"

"Probably not."

Lin Xian whispered:

"He is the richest man in the world, how can he not have this kind of vision? If we really want to compensate him, at most we can compensate him for the fuel. The satellite didn't fall down, so what is there to compensate for?"

……

Afterwards, many big shots in Donghai City came to greet Lin Xian. Chu Shanhe also enthusiastically led Lin Xian and introduced him one by one, with good intentions.

Finally I have some free time.

Lin Xian recalled what Zhao Yingjun had said to him before, that a foreign philanthropist was coming to attend the charity dinner, so Chu Shanhe postponed the time. He thought that since someone was willing to donate to Longguo's scientific research and the East China Sea Science Development Fund, then of course they would be welcome.

Thinking back to what VV said just now, Jask’s convoy arrived at the hall soon.

Is it...

The foreign philanthropist that Chu Shanhe mentioned is the world's richest man?

"Mr. Chu."

Lin Xian turned his head and asked:

"I heard from Zhao Yingjun that there are foreign philanthropists coming to donate today?"

"Yes, haha, I was surprised too."

Chu Shanhe smiled and said:
"But we still have to support others' good intentions. As long as they are sincere in charity and sincerely help the development of Longguo's scientific undertakings, no matter who donates money, materials or results, I will of course open the door and welcome them at any time."

"Oh, look, here he comes! Speak of the devil, here he comes!"

Squeak————

While Lin Xian and Chu Shanhe were chatting, the thick wooden door of the banquet hall was half opened by the waiter.

A sturdy man who was estimated to be about 1 meters tall walked in with big strides.

His shoulders were broad, which made the white Western-style suit he wore straight; there were no buttons in the middle of the suit, and he wore a very casual striped shirt underneath.

There is no bow tie or necktie, and even the top button of the collar is not fastened, which emphasizes a sense of freedom and casualness.

His hair is combed neatly and he looks very young. He is more energetic and appealing than the average middle-aged man in his 50s.

This is the current world's richest man, known as the Iron Man of Silicon Valley, the owner of Starlink, the launcher of Starship rockets, the seller of space travel tickets, and the one who aims to lead human migration to Mars.

【Elon Jaske】.

at this time.

Jask walked over slowly with a smile on his face.

While clapping, he said in unstandard Mandarin:

"Good evening! Good evening! Good evening, everyone!"

The guests present...

See this foreigner who suddenly appears!

I was shocked to the point of being stunned!!
They never expected...

The richest man in the world! Jask!

He actually appeared at the "Science Charity Dinner" hosted by Chu Shanhe!
boom! ! ! !

Instantly, the atmosphere in the venue exploded:

"Oh my God! Jask, the richest man in the world! Why is he here?"

"President Chu said that there would be foreigners attending the meeting today... This foreigner! I thought he was just an ordinary scientist or a foreign company employee in Donghai! But, it turned out to be the world's richest man, Jask! This is really too exaggerated!"

"Hiss... But I've never heard of any relationship between President Chu Shanhe and Jask? Whether in business or in private, they should be complete strangers. Why is the world's richest man giving Chu Shanhe so much face today?"

……

No wonder everyone is so surprised.

Although Jask is an American entrepreneur and often uses online social platforms to interact with fans, it seems that the distance is not that far.

but.

The world's richest man is the world's richest man after all, and the oppression when you see him face to face is still very strong.

Especially the guests who attended the dinner were all from the business circle. They were all businessmen, and whose dream was not to become a famous figure like the richest man in the world, the country, or the city?

For a while.

After a brief moment of excitement, the entire banquet hall fell silent. Everyone remained silent, watching Chu Shanhe walk towards Jask with a smile.

After the two approached, they shook hands tightly:

"Hello, Mr. Jask." "Mr. Chu, I haven't seen you for a few years. I hope you are well."

Chu Shanhe took the world's richest man, Jask, to the crowd and gave everyone a brief introduction.

In fact, it is completely unnecessary.

Who in the business world doesn’t know this genius?
Not to mention the business circle, this scientific madman, or what many people think of as a hype maniac, has a very high level of discussion and popularity in various fields around the world. Repeating his deeds that everyone is familiar with is just out of courtesy.

Chu Shanhe told everyone that he had met Mr. Jask once in 2018. At that time, the Donghai government and Jask reached an agreement to sell Jask a large piece of land at a very favorable price, allowing him to build the world's largest Tesla factory on it, specializing in the production of Tesla electric vehicles.

With such huge discounts, there are naturally some conditions attached. For example, this agreement requires that all Tesla components must be completely domestically produced within three years and that technology must be shared, in order to force the domestic new energy vehicle industry to develop internally.

As it turned out, this decision was a wise one.

Today, not only is Longguo's new energy vehicle industry thriving and selling well all over the world, but it is also standing on the shoulders of giants, making repeated innovations in the field of technology and showing a strong lead.

The Donghai government's move of introducing Tesla's "catfish effect" is really smart.

At the same time, this cooperation is also a win-win situation.

In 2018, Tesla had major problems with its supply chain and capital chain due to insufficient production capacity, and its stock price plummeted, and it was even on the verge of bankruptcy. However, it was the establishment of Tesla's Gigafactory in Donghai City that saved Tesla, saved Jask, and made him the world's richest man.

In this way, Jask has a deep connection with Donghai City.

In this series of cooperation, Chu Shanhe, as the president of the East China Chamber of Commerce in public and the man with the most say in secret, naturally participated in it and played a role.

But he and Jask himself were just casual acquaintances. They could only be said to have met a few times, were familiar with each other, and had an impression of each other.

Some time ago, before Chu Shanhe was planning to hold the "Science Charity Dinner", Jaske took the initiative to contact him and said that he wanted to attend the dinner, repay Donghai for its emergency help that year, and donate to Longguo's scientific research.

Chu Shanhe, who was devoted to the country and respected science, naturally agreed immediately and even postponed the banquet for him.

therefore.

This is why today's situation has come about, with the world's richest man coming to Donghai specifically to attend the charity dinner.

"After we parted in 2018, it has been six years since Mr. Jask and I last met. I am honored that Mr. Jask still remembers me after six years. I also welcome him to the Science Charity Dinner and donate generously to the scientific development of Longguo!"

Amidst the applause, Jaske took the microphone from Chu Shanhe:

"I like the city of Donghai very much. It is a very charming city, and it is also a city that has been kind to me and I have deep feelings for it. Today is the "Science Charity Dinner" hosted by Mr. Chu, so I won't take the lead in saying too much! In order to repay Donghai City for its timely help to me and to support the development of Donghai City's scientific research, I will donate to the Donghai City Science Development Fund in my personal name-"

"$5 billion!"

boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
This time it was truly a huge earthquake, and everyone was shocked as if struck by lightning.

He is worthy of being the richest man in the world.

This amount of money is really scary!
For a moment, the applause was thunderous and enthusiastic!

Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding, understanding the meaning in each other's eyes...

This Mr. Jask is truly remarkable.

Chu Shanhe donated a total of 4 million Dragon Yuan.

And the world's richest man spent 5 million US dollars at once! Almost 35 billion dragon yuan!
It’s really amazing.

Lin Xian was worried at first. Generally, in such occasions, the host sets a standard and subsequent guests usually do not exceed the host's donation amount, which is considered to be a face-saving measure.

At least the people of Long Country have this awareness.

But who makes Jask a foreigner?
however……

When Lin Xian saw Chu Shanhe clapping more excitedly and happier than anyone else, he felt that he had been a little narrow-minded just now.

Chu Shanhe doesn't care about these at all.

He really has a big vision and a high level of thinking. He sincerely hopes that the motherland will become better and better and that science and technology will become more and more advanced. Therefore, the more Jask donates, the happier he will be.

After the applause died down.

Jask smiled slightly and began to look around the scene. Finally, his sight fixed on Lin Xian and his eyes met Lin Xian's.

Lin Xian was a little confused.

I?
what's the situation.

I hope they will not really come to claim compensation for the Starlink satellites as VV said!

"My dear friends, I came to Donghai today to attend this science charity dinner for one reason."

After saying that, Jask took a big step forward, looking straight ahead and walking towards Lin Xian with a smile.

“Satellite, satellite, satellite, satellite, satellite…” VV trembled in her Bluetooth headset:
"At most, we'll have to compensate him for the fuel costs! Don't try to cheat us out of money!"

Hey.

Jask's thick-soled leather shoes stopped in front of Lin Xian, and he extended his right hand in a friendly manner, wanting to shake hands with Lin Xian:
"Mr. Lin, thank you very much for hacking the Starlink satellite system and reporting the vulnerability to my technicians after the competition. It is hard to imagine that if this vulnerability is not patched and then exploited by malicious people... it will bring terrible and irreversible consequences to the space environment, space stations, normal satellites, and aerospace industries around the world."

"So, the second purpose of my coming here today is to thank you in person! I hope to see your great achievements in the field of cybersecurity again in the future."

Lin Xian smiled, stretched out his right hand, and held Jask's right hand:
"You are too polite. This is all——"

suddenly.

He stopped talking and looked at Jask in confusion.

He felt...

There was something in the palm of the two people's handshake!

That was what was hidden in the palm of Jask's hand when he extended his right hand to shake his hand.

And now, as Jask raised Lin Xian's right fist, the small round, flat thing was held in Lin Xian's hand.

He didn't move, and used his fingertips to feel the familiar touch...

Wax block,

Flat round,

There are bumps on it,

A familiar feel!
The pattern it had touched countless times at home -
