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

Musk mentioned a few names and gave a brief overview of the situation, after which Chen Yiran decisively declined.

Because the person Musk was referring to was his former colleague at PayPal.

PayPal, as a payment software, is not exactly a groundbreaking invention.

However, the PayPal Mafia is indeed a considerable force.

While it's called a gang, it's really just a small circle formed by long-time employees. These people invest in each other, endorse each other, and introduce resources to one another, creating a vast network of connections throughout Silicon Valley. They have people in technology, investment, defense, and media—everywhere.

Musk disliked their clique culture at the time because they were too immature and actually organized themselves like a gangster.

After being fired, although he maintained contact with a few close colleagues, he was not actually part of the gang and was more like an unofficial member.

However, in the future, once Musk becomes successful, those people will likely gravitate towards him again.

Because Musk later became a close friend of Trump, and even after their falling out, they maintained a close friendship through repeated attempts to reconcile. This relationship definitely required an introduction, most likely someone from the PayPal Mafia.

They have already demonstrated increasingly clear political leanings and have deep connections with the Department of Defense and various law enforcement agencies.

If they partner with them, Chen Yiran's products will definitely be easier to promote.

However, Chen Yiran doesn't need this kind of political background at all now; he doesn't need to choose between the left and the right.

After handing over the SpaceX investment to the legal department, Chen Yiran began to focus on AoChuang.

Apple's product launch event is in March, and Ultron is a major selling point. Although Apple has agreed to partner with Samsung, it still wants to create more competitive advantages to boost its hardware sales, and Ultron is one such advantage.

Apple provided an excellent solution to Chen Yiran's concerns regarding publicity.

Based on the model house that Ultron had previously built in Silicon Valley, they bought houses in eight major cities across the United States, and each house was fully equipped with the Ultron system.

Following the March launch, these houses will become ready-made channels for promotion and sales.

I selected some cities from New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, Seattle, Boston, and Washington, D.C.

Some of them directly bought homes in middle-class or even upscale communities, as these people have high demands for quality of life.

Those smart curtain, smart lighting, and smart air conditioning control systems are very attractive to them.

Another group chose slightly less desirable locations, which were neither as bad as slums nor as good as upscale communities, but rather ordinary communities belonging to the lower-middle class.

People here value security more. They may not necessarily buy smart home products, but they are willing to spend money on security systems.

Eddie Cue, who was in charge of the project, set the tone for his staff: "You can't set up a showroom in a mall and have people walk in wearing shoe covers, that's stupid. You have to let people walk into a real house, stay there for half an hour, make themselves a cup of coffee, let the curtains open by themselves, and let the robot vacuum cleaner go around their feet. After thirty minutes, they'll convince themselves."

While the Ultron system may not yet be able to interconnect everything like it is in 2026, it is still impressive enough.

Lights, air conditioners, doorbells, cameras, speakers, robot vacuums, curtains, pet feeders, smart sockets, and even gun display cases can all be connected to the communication protocol of the Aurora system. To this end, Aurora has also established an assembly plant in Shenzhen and Hangzhou to produce these devices.

After the March launch event, every Apple user could find these showrooms on a map and simply make an appointment to visit them. Back in 2012, being let in through a smart lock was enough to make many people immediately reach for their wallets.

Not to mention that once inside, the system automatically adjusts the environment based on the preferences filled in during the reservation, including the color temperature of the lights, the temperature of the air conditioning, the background music, and the degree to which the curtains are open or closed.

Of course, this is to prevent these places from being sold for free.

All security systems were enabled by default, and Bain Capital also mobilized its network of connections.

After donating to some non-profit organizations, signing some designated agreements and contracts in several departments, and hiring several Smith specialists.

The municipal governments of eight cities have signed agreements with Aurora and begun large-scale procurement of security equipment and servers from the Ultron system. Police can now dispatch officers directly based on information from Ultron.

The six cameras, door and window sensors, glass breakage sensors, and motion sensors in the model apartment will make thieves understand what it means for times to change.

And so, on March 9th, the highly anticipated Apple event began. This was the first Apple event since Steve Jobs' death last year.

This was Chen Yiran's first official appearance at an Apple event since the Steve Jobs inheritance scandal last year.

Therefore, Apple has provided very high specifications, and the entire Silicon Valley is looking forward to what Apple will announce this time.
