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

For most Chinese people, the feeling of a new year only arrives after the Lunar New Year.

Chen Yiran felt the same way, and in the new year, he felt more at ease. His family moved to Lanai Island with him, even though their passports were still on tourist visas and they were too lazy to apply for green cards. In theory, they would become undocumented after staying there for a while.

However, no one would be foolish enough to cause trouble, as the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is probably less armed than the island of Lanai.

Moreover, Amy Zegart's research institute is very powerful, and Chen Yiran's capital is too strong. Hawaii, as a small state, has been basically completely infiltrated by her. After dealing with the state government, she even set her sights on the Hawaiian military.

Although Hawaii is not an ordinary forward base, but rather the command center and strategic transit point for the U.S. Indo-Pacific theater, it still has its share of vulnerabilities. After all, the United States is a capitalist country, and while it appears to be a military base, many of the staff are actually contractors.

Just in 2013, a civilian contractor was arrested.

That's right, the US military is that extreme; even its civilian staff, according to Chinese terminology, are outsourced.

Moreover, Bishop, who was arrested, had access to quite a lot of information. He was a civilian contractor employee at the U.S. Pacific Command headquarters, working in the cyber defense department, and had undergone a loyalty investigation for accessing top secrets.

Then, the 60-year-old man met a 27-year-old Chinese beauty and thought he had found a second spring in his life.

A year after they met, out of his girlfriend's curiosity, the 6-year-old man sent her a package of all the classified information about the joint US-South Korea training exercise via email.

As the investigation progressed, the CIA was shocked to discover that he had also sent out the "2014-2018 U.S. Defense Plan," "Optimizing the U.S. Military Posture in the Asia-Pacific Region," "U.S. Department of Defense China Strategy," and "2010 Force Use Guidelines."

This is still on paper. According to Bishop's confession, he basically told his girlfriend about the deployment plans of the US strategic nuclear system, the deployment plans of the early warning radar system, and even the channels through which the US obtained classified photos of Chinese naval assets.

In the past two years, the United States' military strategy towards China has been largely transparent to one side.

The most frustrating thing is that his Chinese girlfriend, who was studying for a master's degree in the US on a J1 visa, simply disappeared without a trace. The US government doesn't even dare to mention it, fearing public criticism for its incompetence in failing to apprehend anyone.

Chen Yiran's infiltration was much safer; he didn't need that many secrets, which he could easily steal himself. One can only thank paperless offices and Americans' aversion to following rules and carrying personal cell phones to meetings every day. He was mainly buying insurance, buying a long-term future.

Of course, Chen Yiran wasn't the happiest person recently; his two cousins ​​were the happiest.

Although they could easily hire a Chinese tutor for them to continue their studies, both aunts felt that it was best to focus on improving their languages ​​first. They wanted them to learn several languages—Chinese, English, French, and Spanish—so that it would be easier for them to help their cousin in the future.

So my two cousins' schedules were all changed to languages. It's much more comfortable than studying math or chemistry. Plus, it's all fun and educational. Putting them in a group of kids learning languages ​​is much more comfortable than having them take classes in China.

Chen Yiran rested on Lanai Island until early February before having to set off again for business activities.

On February 18, Chen Yiran arrived at the Willard InterContinental Hotel in Washington, D.C., where a luncheon on US-China investment and the 2014 board meeting of the China General Chamber of Commerce in the United States were to be held the following day.

The China General Chamber of Commerce in the United States is an organization established in New York on September 14, 2005. It is a non-profit organization.

It was initially formed by a group of Chinese companies operating in the US, who could exchange experiences on doing business and investing in the US. The first council members were even received by the then chairman, and the vice premier personally inscribed the words, "A bridge for Sino-US economic and trade relations, a bond for business cooperation."

By 2014, the association had over 1800 registered members, 99 directors, and 50 standing directors. The standing directors were all from super-giant companies, such as China Construction, Bank of China, China National Chemical Corporation, and China National Chemical Corporation.

Today, the association welcomes its 51st executive director, namely Aurora Company.

In fact, they had been inviting Chen Yiran for many years. The association invited Chen Yiran to join the association the year he founded FlowEDA and promised to give him the status of a director.

However, Chen Yiran declined because the association's regulations at the time required that "member units of the council should be Chinese-funded enterprises that hold an overseas investment approval certificate issued by the Ministry of Commerce of China and are legally registered in the United States, and can only become council members if recommended by the executive council members and approved by the council."

FlowEDA clearly didn't fit this description, and Chen Yiran didn't want to be treated specially. Later, after the Aurora Group was established, they extended another invitation, but Chen Yiran still declined on the same grounds.

Finally, in November 2013, the association went all out and changed the membership requirements. Any company with business dealings in China could become a member after review.

Yuan Ning, the president of the Chamber of Commerce and also the president of China Construction America, called Chen Yiran for three consecutive days, inviting Aurora to join the Chamber in a very humble manner.

The other party's attitude was extremely kind, and they even contacted the Chinese American Semiconductor Association to speak on Chen Yiran's behalf. The Chinese American Semiconductor Association had helped Chen Yiran a lot on his entrepreneurial journey and was truly an organization that had done him a great favor, so Chen Yiran had no choice but to accept the invitation.

At the time, Chen Yiran did not know the reason for the other party's urgency. He asked Vicky to check the information, but he did not find any conspiracy against him. He only thought that the association wanted to use his fame to boost the association's reputation.

After talking with his father, Chen Yiran felt that Yuan Ning must have received some instructions from high-level officials in China and wanted to create a suitable communication channel.

Given Chen Yiran's current status, establishing suitable communication channels is not easy. The government doesn't really have any particularly good communication channels either, so coming directly over is impossible.

Sending someone of low status is simply not qualified to talk to Chen Yiran. Those of high status are monitored as soon as they enter the United States; their every move is watched. Sending them here rashly is basically playing their cards right.

Chen's father is a good communication channel, but the assessors believe that he will basically not help persuade Chen Yiran to give up his interests.

This conference, held after the Spring Festival, is very appropriate at this time.

On the evening of the 18th, Chen Yiran signed the membership agreement amidst applause. Then, after the banquet began, he noticed two people casually strolling up to him. He recognized one of them; it was Zhao Guodong, his father's martial arts uncle.

When Aurora was first established, Zhao Guodong was the chairman of the trade union and the deputy secretary of the Party committee. Now he has been promoted to the top position.

He brought someone over, smiling, and said, "Yiran, it's been two years since we last met. When Xiao Ping'an was born, Shougang gave you a gift. Did your dad give it to you?"

"Leave it to me. To be honest, it's a bit precious. Is this against the rules?"

"How could that be? Shougang does have some public relations expenses every year, which is perfectly reasonable! Look, I dare to say this directly to Vice Minister Zhang. Let me introduce you, this is Zhang Chenxiang, Vice Minister of Commerce."

Chen Yiran looked at the middle-aged man to the side; for this position, this person was quite young.

The two shook hands. Just as Zhang Chen was about to speak, Chen Yiran turned to Zhao Guodong and said, "Master, you're the Party Secretary now, huh? My dad specifically told me to support our factory's work."

Orders for various robots manufactured by Aurora have begun to grow explosively, and the demand for raw materials is also increasing. Shougang Group needs to be prepared to take on these orders. I have already spoken with Alan Mulally, and he will contact you to see how to further integrate Shougang into Aurora's production process.

Putting everything else aside, we shouldn't have any problems with steel, right? In fact, I think Shougang could simply acquire some materials companies and specialize in materials business.”

Zhao Guodong immediately perked up and stepped forward to begin a detailed discussion with Chen Yiran about future plans.

Zhang Chen, standing to the side, looked embarrassed and could only wait awkwardly on the side.
