Chapter 339 Returning to North America, Meeting Tilin Again

After leaving the Isle of Man, Xu Lin spent another day in London.

The next day, they flew directly to New York.

The first phase of construction on the private island has been completed.

Xu Lin still needs to go for the inspection and pay the final payment in a couple of days.

Before that, Xu Lin went to New York.

While he was in New York, he had other things to do besides meeting with Tilin.

Tilin knew Xu Lin was coming, so she was already waiting for him outside the airport.

So after Xu Lin got off the plane, he went straight into Tilin's car.

"Scientist, you're really exaggerating on the Isle of Man!"

"exaggerate?"

"Isn't that an exaggeration? To maintain a speed of over 350 kilometers per hour the whole way without any safety measures, you're not even human. Let alone whether others can do it, it's questionable whether they even dare to do it."

Tilin talked about it while driving.

At this moment, she turned around and glanced at Xu Lin in the passenger seat, and said, "I received information that the North American higher-ups are analyzing you based on your performance in the Isle of Man."

“Analyzing these things isn’t very useful.”

Xu Lin didn't care.

This kind of analysis is similar to what Chi Linyue said before: when those big shots go abroad, they inevitably have to defecate and urinate in other countries, but their subordinates will take these excrements back with them instead of leaving them in the local area. This is to prevent the local country from analyzing their health status or doing other things through their feces and urine.

Don't underestimate today's technology; it's actually quite advanced.

Moreover, civilian technology lags behind actual technological progress by a certain amount of time.

Xu Lin remained calm despite being analyzed.

He is very healthy.

Tilin laughed and said, "What I've heard is that their analysis of you shows you're a superman."

"Then it's better not to analyze it at all, wouldn't that scare them?" Xu Lin found it amusing.

Tilly: "In fact, you really are a superhuman. Last time we went swimming in the sea, your behavior was unlike that of a normal human being!"

"People who accomplish great things must have extraordinary energy, far exceeding that of ordinary people; otherwise, they could not have achieved great things."

Good health is the foundation of everything.

It's very simple.

"Your energy is extraordinary!"

After saying that, Tilin seemed to remember something and said, "Do you remember the company that the three of us invested in last year?"

"I remember, what happened?"

Xu Lin almost forgot.

At the end of last year, he was thinking of making some money with this company and then developing artificial intelligence this year.

But he later went on to develop games.

Plans can't keep up with changes.

"This company has already surpassed a market capitalization of 10 billion US dollars and is developing very strongly in North America."

Tilly: "Thanks to you, I've made a fortune."

Xu Lin: "Speaking of which, I still have several hundred billion RMB that I haven't given you yet."

He was referring to their collaboration on the game.

Xu Lin's game is still operating in North America.

It's still an unconventional route.

In fact, Xu Lin could work alone.

But Xu Lin will eventually have to take the proper path, and when that happens, he will need a spokesperson in North America and even Europe.

The spokesperson is Tilin.

Moreover, Xu Lin plans to start a company next year.

They will definitely be coming to Europe and America.

Tilly asked curiously, "How much money has this game made in North America?"

"The total amount of RMB is over 130 billion. The key is that this money is tax-free, which means we can all share in the profits."

"Over 130 billion?"

Tilly was speechless; she hadn't expected so much.

Converted to US dollars, that's nearly 19 billion US dollars.

If you calculate the time, it's only been half a year.

Xu Lin: "It's a 40/60 split. I get 60%, you get 40%, round it up, so you can get 50 billion."

"Money is so easy to make!"

Tilin was unable to remain calm.

Five hundred billion RMB, and that's just cash flow. No matter which country it's in, that's an absolute fortune.

After all, assets are assets, and cash flow is cash flow.

Cash flow is king.

Xu Lin laughed and said, "For the foreseeable future, I will be the trendsetter. You can make a lot of money by following me."

"Scientist, I'm following you from now on!"

"Pleasant to work with."

That evening, the two found a place to have a big meal.

"You are being monitored."

However, not long after, the Moon Goddess sent a message to Xu Lin.

From the moment Xu Lin arrived in North America, the entire North America was brought under the Moon Goddess's surveillance.

Xu Lin typed: "Tell me if there's any danger."

Moon Goddess: "Not at the moment. Your identity is sensitive, and you will inevitably be monitored, just like when you were in London."

Xu Lin was also being watched by the London authorities on the day he was in London.

After all, ordinary people don't have a clear concept of Xu Lin's intelligent life form.

But the upper echelons of society know very well that this is someone who carries nuclear bombs around everywhere.

Moreover, in terms of destructive power, Xu Lin's Moon Goddess is, in some ways, even more terrifying.

Nuclear weapons are possessed by at least major powers, and they are not used unless there is a major war of the century.

So there's basically nothing to worry about with this; just pretend it doesn't exist.

But Xu Lin's Moon Goddess is different.

Currently, only Xu Lin possesses this in the world.

Perhaps soon, China will also have it.

Or rather, China already possesses it now.

Therefore, the Western world is taking Xu Lin's arrival very seriously.

Even tonight, the North American executives will be discussing Xu Lin's affairs all night and exploring ways to contact him.

Another thing is that Tilin met with Xu Lin.

Previously, Tilin had said that she had never met Young Master Xu.

He cursed directly, thinking that the woman must have been lying before.

These two are definitely very familiar with each other.

been played!

But now Xu Lin doesn't need to worry about these things anymore.

Eat and drink enough.

Xu Lin moved into Tilin's villa in New York.

After taking a shower in the evening.

Xu Lin lay on the comfortable sofa, smoking a cigarette.

Tilin, who was sitting on the opposite sofa, poured him red wine.

Tilin had just finished showering; the woman was only wearing a bathrobe and no clothes underneath.

When she bent down, her inner beauty was fully revealed.

In front of Xu Lin, she didn't care about any of these things anymore.

She was happy to be with this incomparably powerful man.

As Xu Lin picked up the glass of red wine.

Tilin then spoke up: "I remember you saying that you plan to start a company next year and release your Moon Goddess System?"

"Correct."

Xu Lin: "To be honest, I will open two companies. The head office will be located in Jiangdu, China, to handle domestic Asia-Pacific business. The branch office will be located on my private island to handle business in Europe and the Americas. At that time, my branch office and I will have deeper cooperation."

"Then I'll just have to wait and see!"

Tilin then asked, "I'd like to hear about your specific career plans."

"Let me talk about the products. The first product is the Moon Goddess System, which is actually about creating a Moon Goddess ecosystem centered around the Moon Goddess. As for what will specifically be in this ecosystem, that's a matter for later. Currently, it mainly consists of the Moon Goddess System and games. In the future, I may move into a field that can be deeply integrated with artificial intelligence..."

Xu Lin talked to her quite a bit.

These plans are fine to talk about, but in reality, they can't be realized in a short time; it will take at least one or two years.

Moreover, there will be significant practical obstacles at that time. It's impossible for Xu Lin to do whatever he wants, and the probability of things proceeding smoothly is not high.

For example, if they want to enter the European and American markets, it's impossible for Xu Lin to use the Moon Goddess to intimidate them, saying, "If you don't do this or that, I'll shut down your internet and your power system."

Xu Lin is not a god; these things are unrealistic.

Since its invention during World War II, the only real use of the atomic bomb has been the two bombs used to blast chicken feet.

And this happened eighty years ago.

So the reality is that negotiation and bargaining are necessary. That will be a very troublesome situation.

Tilin: "If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."

"You'll have your busy time from now on."

I spent two days in New York.

Xu Lin left before the North American high-level officials could send someone to contact him.

He also didn't want to have contact with high-ranking officials in North America.

Why would I bother associating with these thugs when I have nothing better to do?
Moreover, Xu Lin had the Moon Goddess conceal all his whereabouts.

Even North American intelligence agencies couldn't find out where Xu Lin went after leaving North America.

Xu Lin and Tilin arrived at the private island.

He came all the way from Hawaii in his yacht.

From afar, Xu Lin could see his two beautiful private islands.

The two islands were connected by an underwater tunnel, allowing vehicles to travel between them.

The first phase of the project did not involve many buildings, such as high-rise buildings.

This will be completed gradually over the next few years.

Xu Lin's goal is to transform his private island into a world-class technology capital.

But that's something that happened several years later.

How much did it cost to build the two islands?

Tilin took off her sunglasses.

"More than 12 billion, I guess."

Xu Lin: "Ready to log in."

Ten minutes later.

The two disembarked at the port on Tsukishima Island.

This is a rebuilt port capable of accommodating large cruise ships.

On another island, in addition to the port, there is also a large airport.

There is also an airport on Tsukishima Island, but it can only accommodate helicopters.

After arriving on the island, Tilin used binoculars to look around, and the first thing that caught her eye was three commercial buildings with a very sci-fi design.

These five buildings cost a total of just over six billion yuan, with this being the place where the most money was spent.

It's made to look like science fiction.

It's not just about the exterior, but also about the interior design.

Next year, the branch office will be located here.

It's not very tall; the tallest floor is only thirty-six.

Xu Lin did not intend to build a skyscraper.

We might consider it later, but there's no need to go through all this trouble for the first phase of the project. It's not too late to study it later.

"At first glance, it seems quite good, at least the environment is excellent. The idea of ​​setting up a company here, and even what you said about building a small city on these two islands, seems very interesting at the moment."

Along the way, the two walked and talked, while also observing the situation on the island.

In reality, if we really go through the acceptance process like this, it could take forever for the two islands to complete.

After all, Moon Island covers an area of ​​20,000 mu, while the other island, called Sun Island, covers an area of ​​270,000 mu.

It's impossible to get everything right, at least not in the short term.

Eleven o'clock in the morning.

Li Yongsheng has arrived.

"Mr. Xu, we meet again!"

Li Yongsheng travels internationally, and now that the name "Young Master Xu" is widely known, he knows that this Mr. Xu is the famous Young Master Xu.

Li Yongsheng is Chinese, and although he travels abroad frequently, his international identity remains unchanged.

Bearing the blood of the Yellow Emperor, Li Yongsheng was naturally very proud of Xu Gongzi's sudden emergence.

Besides, I'm currently working for Young Master Xu.

Xu Lin got straight to the point: "I've seen the island's construction, and I'm satisfied."

"Mr. Xu, you've only been here a short time. Are you sure you can see everything? How about we take a helicopter tour?"

"Mr. Li, I am satisfied with your character, and I trust you won't do anything reckless."

In response, Li Yongsheng immediately patted his chest and said:
"Mr. Xu, you can rest assured about that. I have been diligently overseeing the construction of your island for the past six months, and there has been absolutely no corner-cutting or shoddy workmanship!"

"I believe you."

Xu Lin still believed in Li Yongsheng's business acumen, as the previous underground base had been quite well-established.

Later, Xu Lin boarded the helicopter and watched it.

It's not about acceptance testing; it's simply about getting an aerial view of the construction progress on the two islands.

Because of its age, there weren't many buildings in the first phase of the project.

As Xu approached the finish line, he focused on his private area on Moon Island.

Private areas occupy half of Moon Island.

There are estates, farms, and everything else you could want here.

Xu Lin was quite satisfied with what he saw.

As time came to the afternoon.

Li Yongsheng also left.

Regarding the final payment, Xu Lin had Yue Shen transfer it directly to him.

So, only Xu Lin and Tilin remained on the entire Moon Island.

Moon Island now has a stronger network, allowing Moon Goddess to monitor the entire island.

Therefore, Xu Lin knew that there were only the two of them as humans on the island at present.

Xu Lin and Tilin arrived at the wooden house.

The manor is not yet habitable, as it was only recently completed.

A log cabin would be more convenient.

"The scientist is leaving tomorrow?"

"Yeah, if there's nothing to do, why don't they just go back to China?"

Xu Lin lay on the rocking chair outside the cabin, his hands behind his head, and began to rock leisurely.

"It's really not easy to see you!"

“My wives don’t see me every day either, let alone you and I, who are from two different countries.”

"Wives?"

"I have quite a few women too."

"That's true. How could a man of your caliber only have one woman by his side?"

"right."

Xu Lin did not deny it.

"So, can I join?"

Tilin sat sideways on Xu Lin's lap, lying down with her left elbow resting on Xu Lin's chest and her hand supporting her cheek as she looked at Xu Lin.

"It's not impossible," Xu Lin said with a slight smile.

Tilly laughed too: "So, we've got something going on tonight?"

"That's possible."

"Scientist, let me ask you a question: Do you like me?"

"I like you and I don't like you, we have to separate them. Emotionally speaking, I don't have any feelings for you, that is, I don't like you. Physically speaking, you are attractive to me, so I like you."

"I thought you liked me emotionally?"

"That depends on the future. Right now, I'm unlikely to like any woman."

Xu Lin closed his eyes and continued, "Before I became successful, the girls I liked liked me too. After I became successful, like you, you may not truly like me from the bottom of your heart. Haven't you heard that the more successful a person is, the more cold-blooded they become?"

Tilin confessed, "I like you, but upon reflection, this liking stems from my strong admiration for you, which is a kind of admiration for strength. So perhaps I don't have the kind of pure liking between men and women."

"Next year and beyond, we will be deeply bound together, so it's fine to have a physical relationship, or even if you give me one or two children."

Xu Lin: "I believe in blood ties."

"Blood relation?"

Tilin was puzzled.

Xu Lin opened his eyes. "Are there many political families in North America?"

"Correct."

Tilin nodded.

Public intellectuals say that the West lacks social skills and recruits talent without being bound by convention.

Just kidding. In the West, they've been using the system of four generations of high-ranking officials. Political families are everywhere, and they don't care about personal relationships or social niceties. They also recruit talent without being bound by convention.

Isn't this funny?
Xu Lin continued, "Based on my observation, the essence of how the world works is blood ties and religion. Leaving religion aside for now, the practice of establishing family power based on blood relations has never stopped from ancient times to the present, wouldn't you say? For example, your political families."

Tilin nodded.

Xu Lin: "I'm starting a company next year, and it will grow bigger and bigger until it becomes a global giant. My business may last for decades or even more than a hundred years. At that time, do you think friends are more important, or blood ties?"

“What do you mean here?” Tilin asked him.

Xu Lin: "Human nature has the characteristic of seeking benefits and avoiding harm. In a family business established by blood ties, family members can basically guarantee unity against external forces in the general direction. However, friends or business partners may seek personal gain, which means they may become traitors. There is an old Chinese saying, 'Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts,' which is the same principle."

Xu Lin said: "Therefore, I believe in blood ties. For example, if you give me a son, I may not trust you. I have reason to suspect that you will betray me one day. But I will trust our son because he is my son. He will protect my achievements because he will inherit them one day. So it is equivalent to my achievements being his. This is his selfishness, but it is also a natural human instinct. Similarly, if you have a son, as a mother, you will protect your son in every way. This is also a natural human instinct."

"I suddenly think you're a bit cold-blooded, scientist."

"That's called rationality, how can you call it cold-blooded?"
