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

On December 18, Chen Yiran landed at Taipei Taoyuan International Airport with a large team of bodyguards.

His schedule was very tight; he only gave himself five days to sort out the TSMC issue before heading back to Lanai to spend Christmas with his children.

After all, he's already so wealthy, it's impossible for him to work during holidays. Besides, he celebrates every holiday, and any holiday can be used as an excuse to slack off.

However, he did not land directly in Hsinchu, but came to Taipei first, where he needed to see an old friend.

Aurora Group doesn't have many operations in Taiwan, and Chen Yiran values ​​security highly. Although he has secretly hacked into all the security systems in Taiwan, he still doesn't want to just find any company to take the job.

He eventually contacted Bain Capital, who used their connections to find him a security company in Asia to handle the arrangements. Chen Yiran specifically looked it up; it was an international security team composed of retired U.S. military officers, the kind that could do whatever they wanted in Taiwan.

After getting into the bulletproof official car they provided, Chen Yiran arrived at the Xinyi District in downtown Taipei. A dozen cars were parked in front of a no-menu cocktail bar called R&D Cocktail Lab.

Huang Shengbin was already waiting for him at the door: "Come in quickly, this is too much. People who don't know better will think this place is run by a gang and they're having a party."

"Isn't it because I'm worried about safety? I also want to keep a low profile, but my employees won't allow it. They're all afraid something will happen to me. If I don't bring enough bodyguards, they cry their hearts out."

The bar was closed in the afternoon and there was no one inside. Huang Shengbin walked to the bar and casually mixed a drink for Chen Yiran.

Chen Yiran tried it and found it quite delicious: "It's been two years since we last met, hasn't it? Your bar is really doing a great job."

Huang Shengbin nodded: "Yeah, the last time we met, you were the one who asked me to play basketball, and I beat you to a pulp."

Listen to how my Chinese is now. I've been studying in Taiwan for two years, and I'm pretty fluent now, I've even learned most of the characters. I just didn't expect you to be even more amazing. Two years ago, I thought you were just a genius, but now you're practically a monster!

"No normal person would be this outrageous. My dad uses you as an example every day to complain about me, saying I didn't help him. It's ridiculous! He can't handle you himself, so he uses me as a shield."

"Your dad is really persistent. He could have just admitted defeat. Nvidia still has advantages in many aspects. He insists on taking the lead over me. He's crazy."

Huang Sheng-bin tried asking, "Did you come to Taiwan this time because of TSMC?"

"Otherwise, after going through so much trouble to become a shareholder and a director, you have to find a way to make the company develop better."

"Alright, then I'll have to listen to my dad nagging again when I get home. Let me tell you, actually last year, Mr. Morris Chang felt he was too old and wanted to retire. He wanted my dad to be the CEO of TSMC, and he's asked me about it several times this year."

My dad thought about it for a long time, but in the end he didn't agree. He felt he wouldn't do as well as Morris Chang and wanted to delay his retirement. He didn't expect you to find a loophole; he was regretting it terribly at home before.

"How come you don't care about your family business at all? Didn't you say before that your dad ultimately wanted you to take over?"

Huang Shengbin patted Chen Yiran on the shoulder: "Thanks to you! My dad has come to terms with it now. He thinks that if someone like me were to go head-to-head with you, Nvidia wouldn't survive for more than a few years. So he hasn't been insisting on me going over to help lately."

Besides, my sister and I already have our own trust plans, so I don't really care what happens to Nvidia. And besides, I think my dad is a genius; you wouldn't be so ruthless, would you? Just find a time to acquire Nvidia, and that's it.

"Let my dad work for you, isn't that great? My mom, my sister, and I all own some Nvidia stock. If there's a shareholder vote, we'll definitely support you! It'll save my dad from having to sigh and complain all the time. My sister says that whenever he's home, it's like someone's died—there's a gloomy atmosphere."

Chen Yiran gave a thumbs up: "You're amazing, such a loving father and filial son!"

The two chatted for a while longer before Chen Yiran took her leave. As she was leaving, Huang Shengbin said seriously, "I'm not joking about the Nvidia stock issue. I feel that my dad's current condition isn't good; his health is deteriorating."

Actually, my sister, mom, and I are quite content. Now we just hope my dad can be a little happier. He feels like he's under too much pressure every day, and we don't know when it will end.

Chen Yiran thought for a moment and said, "Your father is just a little unwilling. I talked to him about continuing the cooperation before. But he still hopes that Nvidia can stand even higher."

But don't worry, Nvidia is different; they can always exit safely. Besides, Nvidia is very valuable to me; your dad is a visionary.

To give you an example, if I hadn't appeared, your father, leveraging the CUDA ecosystem, could have taken Nvidia to an even better position. It's entirely possible that it would have become the world's most valuable company.

So I've always been interested in having your dad work for me, since I'm working several hours a day now, which is really tiring.

You can tell him that I welcome him anytime. If possible, the Aurora Group's chip business can be entirely handed over to him to operate.

"Okay, I didn't blow-dry him beforehand."

Chen Yiran nodded and took his leave, then headed to his true destination, Hsinchu.

He is ready to replace the person who succeeded Morris Chang as CEO of TSMC, because the current one is just too much of an eyesore.
