Reborn in 2010, the AI ​​in my mind is too powerful.

On June 2, 2011, Bahrain Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa began his trip to the United States. Although the visit was heavily publicized in Bahrain, he was clearly given the cold shoulder in the United States.

Bahrain has just experienced the Arab Spring, during which a hardline prime minister violently cracked down on the rebellion, and martial law was only lifted on June 1.

As the future king and the main driving force behind Bahrain's economic reforms, Crown Prince Hamad immediately set off for the United States to seek support.

Hamad is much more educated than his father and his uncle, who is the prime minister.

He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Political Science from the University of Washington and a Master of Philosophy in History from the University of Cambridge.

He knew that if the Sunni monarchy wanted to rule the majority Shia Muslims, its relentless suppression would ultimately backfire.

Over the years, Bahrain has carried out various secular reforms and is now the most secular country in the Gulf region.

The Shia Muslims in Bahrain are actually far less radical than those in other countries; they are much more enlightened.

While the demands of Shia youth during the Arab Spring did have political elements, they were largely driven by the inability to find jobs and the lack of a future. The increasing wealth of neighboring countries, in particular, contributed to a sense of disillusionment among Bahrain's youth.

Therefore, it ultimately comes down to the economy. As long as the living standards of Shia Muslims can be improved and poverty can be eliminated, the country can truly remain stable.

Developing the economy is not so simple; it requires external support, but Bahrain's international image is clearly not very good right now.

The UN Secretary-General told him, "We welcome Bahrain's lifting of the state of emergency and call for continued national dialogue."

Hamad was somewhat disappointed by the complete lack of support and concrete actions.

But at least this was official, whereas Hamad wasn't even treated properly in Washington.

No public events, dinners, or ceremonies were arranged in the United States, and there was no official indication of it on the White House calendar.

Obama didn't even receive him in the famous Oval Office of the White House; the two seemed to bump into each other by chance in the hallway and exchange a few words.

Hamad knew this was typical of American politicians—they couldn't be relied upon in crucial moments. Bahrain had just suppressed protests, and public opinion in the US was unfavorable to the Bahraini government. Obama, very mindful of his image, wouldn't warmly welcome him at this time.

But he didn't expect to receive such a cold reception, which made him a little anxious.

The Bahrainian royal family has always been in this state; they are rather insignificant among the Gulf states, and thus have long been in a state of anxiety.

Fortunately, there was a new arrangement for his trip to the United States: he could go to Silicon Valley to meet with Chen Yiran, the father of AI.

This is a top figure who has been the focus of global attention for the past two months.

On June 9th, Hamad took the initiative to meet with Chen Yiran at FlowEDA.

Chen Yiran's first impression of Hamad was quite good, because he was dressed normally, not in a white robe, and his attitude was very polite, making it impossible to tell that he was a crown prince.

"Mr. Chen, thank you for taking the time to see me."

"You're too kind. Crawford should have already mentioned my suggestion."

Hamad stated quite directly, "We are willing to part with the McLaren shares. We just hope Mr. Chen will take the data center project in Bahrain seriously. I understand what you mean; this project won't yield immediate results and will require time to accumulate."

But please believe that Bahrain is determined to transform, and we will provide sufficiently favorable conditions.

Chen Yiran knew this matter should succeed, but she didn't expect Hamad to be so humble. It seems the Bahraini royal family was truly frightened by what happened at the beginning of the year.

"Yes, data centers will definitely see large-scale development in the future. Bahrain's geographical location actually has certain advantages. However, we still need to conduct some experimental research on liquid cooling."

You'll need to find some companies to work on this gradually, but this area is actually quite mature. It's just that previous computing power and heat dissipation performance didn't require such a strong drive, which is why it hasn't developed on a large scale.

Several American companies are conducting related research. Although they possess the technology, the lack of a mature market keeps prices low. Acquiring a few companies with mature technology would be a viable option for further research.

Hamad nodded: "The Bahrain sovereign wealth fund can give you a 30% stake in McLaren. We spent £3 million in 2007, but the economy hasn't been good these past two years, so we'll calculate it at $3 million."

Then you don't need to pay that money. We can start a company together in Bahrain. Your technology is valued at $300 million, and we'll contribute another $300 million as cash flow.

We will follow your instructions and first acquire relevant companies in the United States to establish a presence in the liquid cooling sector. What do you think of this?

"A pillow is provided when you're sleepy" was Chen Yiran's idea in the first place. He originally thought it would cost hundreds of millions of US dollars, but he didn't expect Bahrain to be so polite.

Chen Yiran smiled and said, "Sure, we're on the same page. If there are no problems, we'll call our legal team to discuss the contract based on that."

After seeing Hamad off, Chen Yiran stared at the large globe in the office and began to examine the flight path.

Jasmine asked hesitantly.

Are we really going to make plans in this area? I actually think we can just relax and relax; things are getting too complicated right now.

"That won't do. If we've already rejected the 30 billion opportunity to sit back and relax, then we can't sit back and relax. We're still too short-sighted. We wouldn't have noticed places like Bahrain if it weren't for a chance opportunity. You need to reflect on that."

【╮(╯▽╰)╭ Before, we only thought about how to show off after the company went public with a market value of two trillion, how to give money to the cafeteria ladies, and how to give the world a little shock.

Who would have thought that as things progressed, the goals would become increasingly ambitious? But since we're on the topic, I've thought about it carefully and there are still a few areas worth planning ahead for.

Madagascar is of paramount importance; it's a crucial strategic point. I just saw on the map that there's also a Seychelles there, which we could look into; we could intervene if the opportunity arises.

Gamor is worth considering, but be careful. Based on the video introduction of Little John Khan you saw in your previous life, this place is clearly not peaceful.

"It still doesn't feel like enough."

Let's take it one step at a time.

"Alright, let's get back to work. Tomorrow I'll go to Oracle and see what's going on with Ellison, whether he needs to send me money too."
