Chapter 164 Celebrity Banquet
After making an appointment with Gavin, Wu Tao and Leng Wei left the buffet banquet hall together.

Mia chased after him anxiously, and said anxiously: "Boss, Gavin's character is like this, he didn't mean to target you..."

Before Mia finished speaking, Wu Tao interrupted indifferently: "Don't worry, Mia, I understand that Gavin just doesn't believe in Tianyu's artificial intelligence platform, and I will use facts to convince him. Technologists themselves must have the courage to question, so that the entire biological laboratory can form a positive and innovative atmosphere.”

Mia immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Since this is the case, then I can rest assured."

Wu Tao patted the other party's soft shoulder and said: "Go back, and explain to everyone for me by the way."

Mia gave Leng Wei a complicated look and said, "Boss, where are you going?"

Wu Tao smiled slightly: "I'm going to solve the problem of collecting samples and transporting them."

"OK, see you tomorrow."

After bidding farewell to Mia, Leng Wei said with bright eyes: "That Gavin challenged your authority so much, how can you bear it? Mr. Wu, I finally understand why your team has such great innovation potential. Because You are a technical talent, you know how to respect talents, and you are good at stimulating their enthusiasm and creativity."

Wu Tao said with a chuckle: "Really? In fact, my authority is only manifested in mechanical manufacturing, intelligent robots and artificial intelligence, but in the field of biotechnology, I am not an authority. So Gavin dares to raise his doubts, it's nothing Weird."

Leng Wei said faintly: "I have seen too many technical geniuses accepting orders from lay bosses like an angry little daughter-in-law. Although this cannot be regarded as a mistake, over time, their creativity is in this way. They were completely lost under orders. This is probably the reason why so many high-tech companies in China can only imitate and crack foreign new products and technologies. Because they have lost their original creativity and enthusiasm.”

There was a resonance in Wu Tao's heart, and his gaze towards Leng Wei became more pleasing to the eye: "So when working under my hands, technical talents will receive due respect. I will protect their original creativity and stimulate their creativity at the same time. Positivity. Of course, if they are wrong, I will educate them with the facts, not with categorical orders and unquestionable rigid demands."

After a pause, Wu Tao changed the subject and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore, you didn't really come to me today to have dinner with me, did you?"

Maybe it's because they are in a foreign country, or maybe it's because the topic just now resonated. At this time, there is more acquaintance between the two, and there is no longer the distance that is deliberately maintained in China.

Leng Wei raised her eyebrows and said, "Do you have something to do? Just take me with you. Believe in my image, you shouldn't lose points."

Wu Tao took a serious look and said, "Well, I can't tell the age, there's nothing wrong with it!"

"Hate it!" Leng Wei rolled her eyes at him charmingly, clenched her fists tightly, and threatened him with words.

Wu Tao smiled and took out his mobile phone, walked to the side and called Philip.After a while, he turned back and stretched out his arms and said, "Let's go, Mr. Leng, I'm going to talk to my friends and attend a high-class party by the way."

10 minutes later, the convoy arrived at the First Hawaii Center.This is the tallest building on the island of Oahu, with a very technological appearance.

Due to the small population density and the typical tropical climate, the buildings on Oahu Island are not too high.So although this building is known as the tallest building in Oahu, it is only 137 meters.

After hearing the news, Philip and Simon were already waiting at the entrance. After greeting the guards, they led Wu Tao and Leng Wei in.

Standing in the elevator, Philip looked at the sexy and charming Leng Wei, and couldn't help but praise: "Mr. Wu, you are always accompanied by beautiful women, and you look much better than me."

Wu Tao didn't speak, but Leng Wei suddenly pronounced in pure American English: "Mr. Philip, I can understand your conversation."

"Oh, I'm so sorry. Mr. Wu didn't introduce, I thought you just..."

Wu Tao interrupted: "I didn't introduce it, it's to prevent the sheep from getting into the tiger's mouth, and to guard against old drivers like you."

"Okay~" Philip shrugged, and said helplessly to Leng Wei: "Look, Mr. Wu just has prejudice against me."

Leng Wei expressed her attitude clearly: "Mr. Philip, you don't have to worry about it. I only like Chinese men like Mr. Wu, who are capable and responsible. It's a pity that he treats his girlfriend very well, and I have no chance at all."

"Really? That would be a pity."

The elevator door opened, and everyone went directly to the top floor of the tallest building in Honolulu.What catches the eye is a very high-profile celebrity banquet, with various political celebrities shuttling among them. Even Wu Tao, who is not familiar with Hollywood, can recognize a few familiar Hollywood superstars.

Wu Tao frowned a little, he didn't like this kind of social entertainment.But Leng Wei, who is the queen of brokers, is full of enthusiasm for this kind of occasion.

"Philip, take Ms. Leng around casually. I have something to talk to Lieutenant Colonel Simon."

Afterwards, the two walked aside, Simon took two glasses of champagne from the wandering waiter, handed one of them to Wu Tao and said, "You don't like this kind of occasion?"

"Yes."

"But if you want to gain a foothold in the United States, you must adapt to this form of social interaction."

"Maybe." Wu Tao didn't refute, and said straight to the point: "Let's talk about business."

"Recently there is a project in Hawaii. I want to rent your helicopter as a means of transportation from the volcanic area of ​​the Big Island of Hawaii to the vicinity of the University of Hawaii in Honolulu."

"So is there a helipad at the destination?"

"I'll make a call to ask." Wu Tao dialed Mia directly, and after a while, he closed the line and said, "Yes."

"How long will it take?"

"About a week to a month, maybe."

"It's probably a bit difficult."

"I can pay commission, $150 an hour."

"make a deal."

On the Hawaiian Islands, in order to meet the needs of tourists from all over the world, there are special helicopters available for rent.Although the price quoted by Wu Tao is a little lower than the general market, it is purely an extra income for the helicopters at the US military base, even if it is a little less, it is acceptable.

So it's no surprise that Simon agreed so readily.

After talking about the business, Wu Tao sipped champagne and looked at the night view of the entire Honolulu city with nothing to do.The night here looks not as spectacular as the Huaxia Metropolis, but the clear and transparent feeling of the entire night sky makes people very comfortable.

Until a slightly unexpected female voice suddenly sounded: "Excuse me, is this Mr. Huaxia Wu?"
