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

Chen Yiran didn't directly ask for the Abu Dhabi check. Although he had decided to take a share of Aurora's stock and attract some strategic investment, everything had to wait. This was because Aurora Group's first truly exclusive large-scale press conference was scheduled for December.

Aurora has released a lot of things before, but they were mostly at Apple or other summits.

This time, Chen Yiran planned to hold a press conference exclusively for the Aurora Group, inviting the main leaders of each branch company as well, and also holding the annual meeting at the same time. Chen Yiran ultimately chose Honolulu, Hawaii as the location.

After all, December in Hawaii is really comfortable, with temperatures in the twenties, which is very pleasant. The water temperature is also in the twenties, which is quite comfortable. There is plenty of sunshine all day long, and the waves on the north shore can reach several meters high, making it a great time for surfing.

Moreover, from December to April of the following year is the peak season for whale watching, when large numbers of humpback whales migrate to the waters off Hawaii, making it a very high chance of seeing whales.

Choosing this location for the press conference saves a lot of reception work, allowing attendees to simply enjoy themselves.

Of course, another important reason is that it's close to home. Chen Yiran has recently gotten used to living on Lanai Island, and this year's annual meeting is also planned to be held on Lanai Island. So choosing to hold the Aurora launch event next door will save a lot of trouble.

The main hall of the Hawaii Convention Center was basically set up. When Chen Yiran came to inspect it, Catherine looked unhappy: "Boss, you have to come all the way to inspect such a small thing. Don't you trust me?"

"How could that be? I trust you to handle things. The invitations and seating arrangements are all taken care of."

"The press conference is in a week! Of course, everything is set up. The venue has a capacity of 1,200 people, and we've sent out 800 invitations. As you instructed, don't make it too crowded. Take a look at the setup; the lighting is much prettier than those at Silicon Valley press conferences. It was all designed by a senior stage designer from Disneyland."

Another question: regarding simultaneous interpretation, although I have great faith in our company's products, are you sure you don't need to have a few people on standby just in case?

"No need. If any problems arise, I'll act as the translator on-site. As for accommodation and such, are everything arranged?"

"Don't worry, I've got everything sorted out in Honolulu. Not just accommodation, but also food. We've arranged local specialties, with main dishes like taro-baked suckling pig and tuna sashimi. Transportation is also arranged, and we have backup plans."

Of course, I'm only in charge of Honolulu. For Lanai Island, it'll be Amit. Seriously, why did you choose him as the butler? He's always bragging about it in the work group.

Especially when the tech team is working overtime, he'll pop out and take pictures of the beach all the time; it's just asking for trouble.

Chen Yiran was also surprised to learn that Amit had become so unconventional, but this suited his taste perfectly: "Because he's loyal, of course I'd choose him as my butler."

Catherine thought of when FlowEDA was first established, and how Amit always acted like a lackey in front of the boss, and she curled her lip.

Chen Yiran ignored him and asked Alan Mulally beside him, "Are all our people alright?"

"Most of the branch office heads are here. This is the first large-scale annual meeting, and everyone is really looking forward to it. We're also really looking forward to the press conference; I think it will be impressive enough to impress all the major media outlets."

Catherine chimed in again: "I've arranged activities for everyone. Half a day of free time at Waikiki Beach, snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, and a hike at Diamond Head. There's a Hawaiian dinner in the evening, with hula dancing and roasted pork booked."

Chen Yiran nodded: "Okay, usually the companies are scattered all over the place, and everyone communicates online. We only meet a few times a year, so this is a good opportunity for everyone to get together."

As they were talking, the three of them arrived backstage, where several large wooden crates were already laid out.

Alan Mulally took out a document, looked at it, and asked, "Should I have someone open it so we can try it out first?"

Catherine, standing to the side, said excitedly, "Yes, open it up and let me see the company's new product. There's all sorts of rumors circulating outside these days."

Chen Yiran did not answer, but turned to look at Nuno.

Nuno took out his walkie-talkie and asked a few questions, then walked over and said, "The area has been thoroughly cleared; we're sure there are no outsiders here."

Chen Yiran wasn't entirely convinced. After tapping a few times on his watch to confirm everything was okay, he called out, "Come here, Unit One."

The trunk of the bulletproof car parked in the underground parking lot was opened, and an agile octopus-shaped robot rushed out. Instead of going directly up the stairs, it followed the fire escape and various air conditioning vents to the backstage area, where it darted out from the pipes above.

Catherine was immediately startled and took a few steps back: "Boss! You've finally shown your fangs! Are you going to start announcing this to the world?! Do you have any red or blue pills for us?"

"What the hell?"

"Isn't that the squid robot from The Matrix?! Sure enough, there's some truth to the rumors that you might be a future AI human."

"If I really had those kinds of robots, I would rule the world, okay? This is nothing like that. First of all, they can't fly, they can only crawl around. And they're too expensive, so they can't be mass-produced at all. I just made a few for myself to play around with."

Alan Mulally walked over and took a closer look. The squid clearly had a certain degree of autonomy, as it scurried away from Alan Mulally's feet and sat down next to Chen Yiran.

Alan Mulally tried asking, "Is this going to be released too? How much does it cost? As a digital pet?"

"I'm not selling it. I told you the cost is too high and it's not worth it at all. I just ordered parts from them separately to test the technology and made it myself."

"So, why did you call him over?"

"Unpack the boxes. Are we supposed to dismantle these big wooden boxes ourselves? Number One, go and dismantle these boxes. Be careful not to accidentally break the contents."

The little squid immediately went over and began to use its sharp tentacles to tear open the box.

Catherine suddenly realized: "You're just showing off, aren't you?"

Nuno then tried hard to suppress his laughter. Ever since Unit 3 was built, Chen Yiran would call him out to carry out missions at all sorts of strange times. Based on his three years of experience following Chen Yiran, it was clear that Chen Yiran was showing off.

Alan Mulally's eyes lit up: "Showing off is normal, I'd show off too if I had something like that. Boss, can't this be given to us executives as a perk?"

Chen Yiran pointed to the several mechanical dogs that had been dismantled and said, "These can be given to you as a benefit. They are actually quite intelligent, but their abilities are not as good as my No. 1 machine."

Alan Mulally looked at the conventionally shaped mechanical dog, then at the imposing, futuristic mechanical squid next to him, and was somewhat dissatisfied.

Chen Yiran made some adjustments, and since the mechanical dogs were all working fine, he prepared to go home.

In the lobby of the conference center, Chen Yiran offered a few words of encouragement and was about to step out when Catherine shyly grabbed him.

"Boss, I need your help."

"What's up? A raise?"

Catherine glanced at Alan Mulally with some hesitation, hoping he would leave on his own.

However, Alan Mulally, who was about to leave, immediately turned back, took a few quick steps to stand next to Chen Yiran, and assumed a posture ready to listen to gossip.

Catherine had no way to deal with this unscrupulous old man, so she could only ignore him and whisper to Chen Yiran, "Um, it's like this, could you be my and Emily's witness at our wedding?"
