After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 366 First Meeting: Xu Lin's Powerful Move (Career)
The next day at 8:00 AM.

The North American executives then sent a special car to pick up Xu Lin.

Tilin followed.

Around 8 o'clock, Xu Lin arrived at his destination.

This meeting was not a formal meeting; it took place at a villa in Los Angeles.

“This estate belongs to a prominent Jewish man, so you will be coming into contact with Jewish people this time.”

Tilin reminded her.

Xu Lin was aware of the situation, but he didn't think much of it.

Just like in the late Ming Dynasty, when the emperor had to unite with eunuchs and officials from other places to fight against the gentry in Jiangnan, the gentry in Jiangnan had grown to a very powerful level. They didn't even need to look at the emperor's face and had almost completely sidelined him. It was only after the Manchus entered the pass that they physically eliminated the gentry in Jiangnan, who had grown to their extremes, and these people became obedient during the Qing Dynasty.

While North America may not be as rife with Jewish influence as some netizens claim, it certainly holds a significant share of the global economy.

Xu Lin will inevitably have to deal with these people during this meeting, and even in the future.

However, Xu Lin was not treated with the usual level of respect by the higher-ups in North America.

International rules are very pragmatic, especially in North America. It's not a country known for its etiquette, and those with weaker national power will be treated differently.

Xu Lin is not a country, nor does he represent China.

He is alone.

But North America has to be polite to someone who wields a powerful weapon.

In fact, over the past few months, the North American leadership has conducted round after round of evaluations of Xu Lin, ultimately concluding that 'Young Master Xu is a relatively restrained person who has mastered a powerful weapon.'

First, Xu Lin is relatively restrained, but it's uncertain whether he will go crazy.

Secondly, he possesses a powerful weapon capable of instantly erasing a megacity from the internet and communications infrastructure. This means he can make the "Jiaopanji" disappear from the internet and communications infrastructure, while simultaneously allowing the Chinese army to land and swiftly destroy the "Jiaopanji." By the time North America finds out, it will be a long time before they know what happens. Similarly, the same principle applies to dealing with them.

Third, Xu Lin did not hand over his intelligent life form to China. According to the spies, Xu Lin would train an intelligent life form for China within three years. The problem is that he himself is carrying a powerful weapon around, which can be classified as a national annihilation level, and is collectively known as a walking humanoid nuclear weapon.

The third point is actually information that Xu Lin deliberately leaked.

As the ancients said, even barbarians fear power but do not cherish virtue.

This statement actually applies to everyone. After all, not everyone can be as morally upright as a saint or virtuous person. If everyone were that morally upright, the world would be at peace long ago, and everyone in the global village would live in harmony. Ideal countries, utopias, paradises, and earthly heavens would all be realized directly, but that is impossible.

Your position determines your perspective; your strength determines your status.

Therefore, the North American executives treated Xu Lin with great courtesy during his visit.

Xu Lin and his companion got out of the car outside the manor.

After getting off the car, Xu Lin buttoned up his suit jacket.

"Young Master Xu, this way please." Someone led the way.

"it is good."

Xu Lin looked at the magnificent manor in front of him, with a straight road leading directly to the main building.

Guided by a specialist, Xu Lin walked toward the building and entered the surveillance area.

The synchronous analysis of Xu Lin also begins at this moment.

To analyze Xu Lin's personality more deeply, and even if he could leave a hair with a follicle here, or leave excrement such as urine or feces here, it could be used for genetic analysis of Xu Lin.

In short, Xu Lin was being watched.

But Xu Lin also knew about this, and the Moon Goddess was monitoring the communication system here.

As you walk along, there are already people with a strong presence standing at the entrance. There is a group of people, both men and women, middle-aged and elderly. Some are active in the news, but most are people who have never appeared in the public eye.

The crowd stood on the steps, looking down at Xu Lin as he walked up.

But Xu Lin wasn't intimidated.

Although he was only accompanied by Tilin, he gave the impression of being surrounded by a vast army.

No one on the steps dared to underestimate him; they all felt that this man was too powerful.

This man is so well-rounded.

"Young Master Xu!"

After Xu Lin came up, one of the middle-aged men was the first to walk over and shake hands with him.

"Hello."

Xu Lin remained calm and then began to exchange pleasantries with everyone, putting on a show.

There's no need to get to know these people. Besides, Xu Lin's arrival today will most likely lead to a breakdown in negotiations. That's the mindset he had, so he didn't have any expectations of achieving anything.

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone went inside.

This is a large oval table that can seat twenty people.

Xu Lin sat in the middle, Tilin sat next to him, and the others sat opposite him, clearly separated.

However, there were ten people on the other side. It could be said that if Xu Lin's aura hadn't been strong enough, the people on the other side would have been able to overwhelm him simply by sheer numbers, and even make him feel suffocated. After all, the people on the other side were no ordinary people either.

Thank goodness it was Xu Lin.

Xu Lin spoke first: "Everyone, let's get straight to the point!"

"Young Master Xu, I hope we can cooperate. Your intelligent life technology should not be unique to China, otherwise it will be very dangerous for the world!"

Someone on the other side immediately spoke up.

Xu Lin countered with a question: "May I ask, if you were to master this technology first, would you share it with China?"

Another person said, "Young Master Xu, science knows no borders!"

Xu Lin: "Sir, I must correct you. Science has national boundaries, and scientists also have national boundaries. You people are too good at scheming."

"Young Master Xu, this is not the proper attitude for negotiations," someone said.

“Young Master Xu, if intelligent life exists only in China, we have reason to suspect that you are trying to control the world. This is very dangerous for the world, especially for the eight billion people in the world. It is like a sword of Damocles hanging over our heads!”

"Can I smoke here?" Xu Lin asked instead of answering directly.

"can."

So Xu Lin took out a cigarette and lit it. After exhaling a cloud of smoke, Xu Lin finally spoke: "The Sword of Damocles? The world should naturally rotate. You have been the boss for decades, it's time for us. Besides, in the distant past, for thousands of years, we have basically been at the top of the world. Your country has only been around for a little over two hundred years, so you may not be able to adapt to this ecosystem for a while, but you'll get used to it."

Xu Lin was too lazy to refute or prove himself.

Q: Do you want to control the world?
A: Yes, you're right.

"Young Master Xu, your idea is dangerous!"

"It's your thinking that's dangerous. You bunch of people, do you think I'm easy to manipulate?"

Xu Lin flicked his cigarette ash: "The ones who do the worst things are you bunch of bastards, yet you still try to label us."

"Young Master Xu! Your attitude is problematic; this is not the attitude one should have for negotiations!"

The person facing Xu Lin slapped his hand on the table.

Xu Lin not only had a bad attitude, but also called them scumbags. Who could stand that?

"Old man, you've been living on airs for too long. Do you think you can look down on everyone?"

Xu Lin pointed at him and said, "You are no match for me. Even though this is your territory, you can send people to arrest me or even kill me. But if you can bear the immeasurable losses, you are welcome to come."

Xu Lin emphasized: "If anything happens to me, your entire territory will instantly lose power and internet access. The power system will collapse, the network system will collapse, the communication system will collapse, and so on. All systems that my Moon God can access will collapse. If I want, you can go back to the 19th century overnight and experience a primitive and wonderful life, as long as you dare to bear such losses. You have been trying to find my Moon God from the network all this time, but you can't do it, can you? You can't even find its trace. My Moon God is powerful, and there is no doubt about it."

Xu Lin showed no sign of backing down, displaying neither humility nor gentlemanly conduct.

The only way to deal with robbers is not to reason with them, but to strike hard.

How did the gentry of Jiangnan come to their doom? They brought down the Ming Dynasty, became extremely arrogant, and welcomed the Manchus into the Central Plains, thinking they were the masters of the Forbidden City and the rulers of the Central Plains. They thought it was just a matter of changing the emperor. They believed that if the Manchus wanted to enter the Central Plains and govern the country, they had to rely on the gentry of Jiangnan and cooperate with them. However, the Manchus didn't buy into their schemes at all and carried out massacres. Anyone who disobeyed them was killed. After that, these people simply became obedient.

To deal with a scoundrel, you can't reason with him; you have to strike hard. Only magic can defeat magic.

"Young Master Xu! Are you threatening us?"

"Correct."

Xu Lin admitted it.

"Young Master Xu, you are too arrogant. You are still young and shouldn't act like this. You don't know how deep the waters of this world are, how high the sky is, or how thick the earth is. You are too young!"

The old Jewish man facing Xu Lin had a cold face.

Xu Lin: "I don't need to know. On the contrary, it's old men like you who, as they get older, tend to have rigid thinking and can't accept new things. Naturally, you can't tolerate young people like me challenging your authority."

"Young Master Xu, your ideas are dangerous! Moreover, we have reason to suspect that you will use your intelligent life form to harm the world. Your ideas are insane and dangerous!"

Xu Lin glanced at the other person.

"I possess super-powerful weapons, even comparable to nuclear weapons, yet I do not use them lightly. The only thing that can restrict my actions is my noble character."

Xu Lin flicked his cigarette ash again and continued, "I must emphasize one point: in terms of personal morality, I am not a good person, but in terms of the public good, I can say that I possess one of the noblest personalities on earth. I am a staunch materialist. By the way, I should explain to you that materialism is divided into dialectical materialism and historical materialism. Historical materialism believes that the people are the creators of history and society, not a minority at the top, such as me, or you. None of us are."

But only someone like me would consider the interests of the general public, would think about what benefits my creations could bring to the world, what changes they could bring to people's lives. But you people wouldn't. The topics you just discussed were all about whether I would harm the world, but you wouldn't say whether I would be used to benefit humanity. Your thoughts are too obvious. Of course, you may not know who Sima Zhao is; if you're interested, you can learn about our country's history.

"Young Master Xu, it's not good for anyone if we have good food but don't share it!"

The person opposite him had a gloomy face.

"When it comes to sharing good food, you have to be selective about who you share it with. People like you should count yourselves first. In the past few decades, wherever there has been conflict in the world, haven't you been there? I am not a gentleman, and you are not British gentlemen."

Xu Lin questioned them: "If I give you the technology and you use it to harm the world, wouldn't I become a sinner? In the Tokyo incident, although I messed with the power system, I didn't target the thousands of hospitals there because many lives were involved. Therefore, I can say that my character is not problematic. But if it were you, I can't guarantee what you would do. You are utterly wicked!"

Xu Lin's first attempt to contact them ended in failure, without a doubt.

Xu Lin and Tilin came out in less than an hour.

"Scientist, you really dare to say that!"

Tilin crossed her arms, smiling broadly, her beautiful eyes sparkling. She really liked Xu Lin like this.

"I can only say that if I have the confidence, otherwise they would have pulled out their guns and shot me in there."

Xu Lin shrugged and sent a text message to Moon Goddess: The meeting just now fell apart. I suspect I'm going to be assassinated. Notify me immediately if anything happens.

This is actually an impossible situation, at least it won't happen in North America, otherwise the impact would be too great.

Tilly: "What do we do next?"

"Once my virtual world appears, they will eventually back down. Only when I have enough trump cards can I talk to them."

"Oh, right, I'm leaving this afternoon."

"Be careful, I'm really afraid you'll get assassinated. After all, you're so brazen, at least in their eyes."

"Yeah, I'll pay attention."

Not long after, Xu Lin said goodbye to Tilin and found a public restroom to sank his cigarette butt into the toilet.

Once you have a certain status and influence, you can't even litter cigarette butts anymore.

Cigarette butts can also be used for genetic analysis because oral mucosal cells contain human DNA. Through professional DNA extraction technology and other related technologies, a complete process can be completed to extract and analyze Xu Lin's genetic information.

Although Xu Lin hadn't checked his genes, his body was already quite special after he unlocked his special abilities, and he couldn't allow himself to be studied by others.

Xu Lin is a cautious person.

Now, given his special status and the fact that he has offended important figures from a superpower, he is now on the opposite side.

An old saying goes, "Man has three calamities and six blessings; one must be careful."

Local time, around 4 p.m., Xu Lin boarded a plane back to China.

The journey was naturally peaceful. Assassination attempts may be unavoidable in the future, but people with a sense of shame won't be too blatant. However, who knows what might happen in the future? For example, Xu Lin might be assassinated somewhere in Europe, or someone might blow up his plane. But these kinds of things won't be too blatant. So even though the negotiations broke down and things got very tense, Xu Lin still returned to Jiangdu safely.

The talks were not made public; they were only discussed among high-level officials in North America.

After this incident, the other side regarded Xu Lin as a thorn in their side, and the idea of ​​destroying him if they couldn't have him was growing.

Why keep this kid around if he doesn't want to cooperate?

Xu Lin remained optimistic, not out of arrogance, but because he was bold and meticulous.

On the one hand, he believes that as long as he has enough trump cards, these people will have to obey him. This is inevitable; that's how the world works. For example, nuclear weapons have maintained overall world peace, which is an objective fact.

On the other hand, Xu Lin was also very cautious. He would have the Moon Goddess monitor him at all times, including those around him.

Although Xu Lin doesn't allow information about the people around him to appear online, this only means that ordinary people can't see it. Intelligence agencies can still find it if they want to investigate; it's just a matter of time.
