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

"What do you mean Shougang can't do without you and they don't agree to your early retirement? What use are you? My mom told me that you only go to work once a month now."

Mr. Chen said with considerable dissatisfaction, "How dare you talk to your father like that? I have a lot of influence, okay? My biggest influence is that I can order you around, my son! Let me tell you, this is all your fault. That crappy drone of yours is still being sold as agricultural equipment, fooling idiots. Many people on Weibo are saying that your company is the world's largest arms company."

"No matter what, we sold them as agricultural drones, but they modified them themselves, so how can you blame me? It's like someone sold some iron, and someone bought it and made a kitchen knife to kill someone; you can't say the person who sold the iron was the problem, can you?"

"They don't reason with you. Anyway, in the second half of last year, around National Day, a department came to me. They said they hoped to talk to you about increasing technical exchanges with domestic entities."

Chen Yiran noticed the problem: "That's not right. Logically speaking, Shougang is a shareholder of Aurora Group, even if it's a small one. Shouldn't Shougang be the one to step in?"

"Back then, quite a few departments bypassed Shougang Group to approach me. I asked Shougang about it, and they tried to stop me but couldn't. It seems that Aurora's shares are in high demand now, and there are some rumors that they want to transfer them internally to other companies."

"That won't do. I won't recognize the shares once they leave Shougang! As one of the founders, other companies have the right of first refusal to purchase those shares."

"So in the end, it didn't happen. Here's the situation: Shougang Group has set up a strategic cooperation office, and I'm the office director. I've been promoted from deputy division chief to division chief. I'll be enjoying bureau-level benefits, but I feel like some department-level officials don't even have as good benefits as me."

The initial idea was to be based in Singapore. I also had a position as a group inspector, which was basically for slacking off. Whenever I wasn't at work, I could say I was out inspecting things at the group level.

Chen Yiran was a little conflicted. He had been reborn for four years, and the current situation was completely different from when he was first reborn.

Initially, he just wanted to live a better life, such as going to a better university, earning a little more money, and perhaps even getting Jasmine out of his brain.

At the time, he even made some elaborate plans, initially intending to follow in his previous life's footsteps and return to China to develop his career. After all, the United States had indeed become divided after Trump came to power. He felt that returning to China and helping the country break through some of the blockades would be quite exciting.

But as his business grew, he not only became involved with more interest groups, but his ambition also began to grow.

Whoever said that, he has to obediently stay in a country and follow the policies.

Why can't it become the policy itself?

Moreover, whatever he does will definitely be subject to various scrutiny from higher-ups, so he might as well strengthen himself and become an entity that cannot be investigated.

The adventures of V, Motoko Kusanagi, Roy Barty, Keyes, and Max are certainly exciting.

However, if given a choice, becoming the person who established Arasaka, the Megatec Body, the Wallace Company, Tessie Ashpur, and Homestead would be a tremendous achievement, and perhaps more in line with the desires of normal people.

It's simply a matter of having a little more humanity and doing less evil.

Chen Yiran was a little confused. If he chose to abandon everything now and start sending technology back to China, he would definitely become a figure in history books. During the military parade, his whole family could go up to the reviewing stand to watch the ceremony.

However, he will lose his autonomy, he will lose many things, and in future decisions, he will be limited by the so-called overall interests.

Knowing why Chen Yiran was silent, Chen's father said in a low voice, "Whatever you do, we'll support you. To be honest, your mother and I never imagined you could be so successful. Or rather, too successful. Actually, your mother and I haven't slept well at all these past few months."

"Why didn't you tell me when we were video chatting?"

Mr. Chen hesitated for a moment and looked around.

Chen Yiran said helplessly, "Dad, this is my island. And you have to trust your son's skills; it's basically impossible for him to monitor me."

"Sigh, I didn't tell you before because you've been going too far. That drone video didn't go widely, but your mom and I still saw some of it online. We're worried that someone might be monitoring our videos."

So I haven't dared to say anything, in case you say something wrong. I just pretended not to want to put pressure on you, so I didn't talk to you about work. It's better to be safe than sorry, even if there are cameras.

While the internet was already quite advanced in 2014, it still couldn't compare to what it will be like after 2020. Especially in terms of video, the reach and dissemination are incomparable to what they would be seven or eight years later. Otherwise, videos of drones would have caused a much bigger sensation long ago.

Chen Yiran was a little confused. He started asking his father for advice: "Do you think I should go back to China? My skills are extremely strong right now. I can say for sure that in many technical aspects, I am the best in the world, without exception."

In many ways, no one knows just how powerful I am. You mentioned surveillance; I can say with certainty that anywhere connected to the internet is unstoppable by my intrusion. No one can monitor me; I'm the one monitoring others.

The CIA actually used satellites to spy on my drone manufacturing plant. None of their signals could be hidden from me. I even hid Trojans directly in the rear deployments of the US military.

In this situation, if I went back now, I'd be treated like royalty.

Mr. Chen scratched his head and asked, "You weren't bragging, were you?"

Chen Yiran simply gave his father a demonstration.

"Vicky, give my dad a performance."

Viki is the latest iteration of the man-eating flower, and it is no longer comparable to the original man-eating flower. It is much smarter. Chen Yiran named it using the AI ​​from "I, Robot". The name VIKI is also better than the name man-eating flower.

Of course, she didn't know the Three Laws of Robotics. Chen Yiran felt that in practical application, these laws had too many bugs and were completely impractical.

A clear, crisp female voice came from the player.

"It would be a pleasure to serve you, Speaker. How should we perform?"

"Um, the White House cameras, turn them on and see what the White House looks like inside now."

"As you wish, Speaker."

Looking at the images popping up on the screen one by one, Mr. Chen was silent for a while before saying, "Your AI is quite polite, huh?"

"I didn't set it up, but she learned it herself, which is pretty good. There's also an AI that has now evolved into a simp."

After a moment of silence, Mr. Chen asked, "Why do I call you Speaker? Are you... trying to become emperor? I think Hawaii is actually quite nice, with beautiful scenery and a good geographical environment. I heard you even funded the improvement of fire prevention and disaster preparedness?"

"Um. Speaker, I was just echoing my favorite anime, EVA. You remember that collector's edition I bought when I was a kid? And it's not about becoming an emperor, but I do consider Hawaii my territory now."

"Oh, warlord, I get it, I get it. Okay, if that's the case, then your mother and I won't go back to China for now. The strategic cooperation office can't be in Singapore, I'll tell them to put it on Lanai Island. You go back and get me a place for the office."

However, my suggestion is to offer some incentives to the domestic community first, at least to make Shougang look better on the surface. Domestically, there's a lot of conflicting opinion; some are saying we're being somewhat unpatriotic.

"Who told you that?"

"I feel that the leaders at Shougang deliberately said this to me, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop. Don't they know that Shougang is the one playing the good cop? I guess they're upset that the one playing the bad cop is talking to me. Actually, they probably have a tacit understanding; they're expressing their opinions to me and then relaying them to you."

"Alright, I'll do as you say. At least give Shougang some benefits."

Chen's father didn't say anything more and went out to see his grandson, muttering to himself all the way, "How come I gave birth to a monster?"

Although she spoke very softly, Vicky still managed to catch it and play it for Chen Yiran to hear.

Chen Yiran was a little helpless. He started to look through his technical reserves again, trying to make Shougang look better. What kind of technology should he give them? Giving them away for free wouldn't work. The best thing would be to improve Shougang's position in the supply chain of Aurora Group.
