Really open source

After Lin Yuan proposed the slogan, he did not stop there; he quickly open-sourced the entire set of standards, algorithms, and processes used by the Tesla Delivery platform.

Today, Tesla Delivery has squeezed out the domestic mid-to-high-end delivery market, pushing Good Group and Lanbiao Factory into a corner, where not only has their business volume sharply shrunk, but their profit margins have also significantly decreased.

Therefore, Lin Yuan's move was akin to a hybrid of Good Group and Lanbiao Factory at their peak suddenly open-sourcing their money-making secrets.

Good Group at its peak had a market value of over a trillion, and adding Lanbiao Factory, which is not yet listed, their combined market value would definitely exceed two trillion.

In the investment market, there has been a strong call for Tesla Delivery to be spun off and listed independently, with common market valuations ranging from over three trillion Dragon Country dollars to even five trillion.

However, all the intricacies of Tesla Delivery were suddenly open-sourced by Lin Yuan.

This immediately caused a sensation!

Whether it was the open-source community, the investment community, or any other community, as long as it was within the Three Realms and Six Paths, it was shaken.

Three days later, after everyone worldwide had enough time to thoroughly digest Lin Yuan's open-source achievements, everyone believed: Lin Yuan was serious.

“The largest and most impactful open-source contribution in human history to date,” this was the world’s assessment of Lin Yuan.

This open-source initiative was considered to have surpassed the Linux system.

Because Linux’s open-sourcing was in its nascent stage, while Lin Yuan’s open-sourcing was of the core secrets of a company worth trillions.

The two are naturally not comparable.

Soon, Zhang Yan brought good news to Lin Yuan—the organization wanted to develop him.

Originally, given Lin Yuan’s complex relationship with foreign capital, it would have been difficult for him to be considered a pure insider by the higher-ups.

Since people are economic animals, Lin Yuan, as a senior executive and independent director of Tesla’s Dragon Country region, clearly had significant financial ties with foreign capital.

Naturally, the higher-ups would respect and utilize such individuals, but not heavily rely on them.

However, Lin Yuan proved with his actions that he had a red heart.

If he didn’t have a red heart, how could he have pulled off the earth-shattering feat of completely open-sourcing Tesla Delivery?

According to Zhang Yan’s recounting, after Lin Yuan open-sourced, the higher-ups immediately organized experts and scholars overnight to examine the open-source results.

After fully affirming and confirming that Lin Yuan’s open-sourcing was not a gimmick, the higher-ups immediately arranged a security team to ensure Lin Yuan’s personal safety.

At the same time, given Zhang Yan’s personal relationship with Lin Yuan, she was arranged to become Lin Yuan’s personal life assistant and bodyguard.

Thus, Zhang Yan and Lin Yuan’s relationship became semi-public and logical.

The so-called personal relationship between Zhang Yan and Lin Yuan could naturally not be considered an “improper relationship.”

Lin Yuan could guess that Zhang Yan’s father, whom he had never met, would definitely be orchestrating various operations behind the scenes.

For example: operating Zhang Yan to become Lin Yuan’s junior sister whom he had known for many years, with whom he had an extremely deep friendship and even a hint of ambiguous affection.

Thus, Zhang Yan, who came from a military background, became the most suitable candidate.

Furthermore, Lin Yuan was not publicly married or registered, making Zhang Yan’s proximity even more logical.

In short, this was a routine operation by Zhang Yan’s father to keep the benefits within the family.

As for the security team, Lin Yuan didn’t notice anything.

As far as his eyes could see, his living environment hadn’t changed, not even an extra cat appeared.

He really didn’t know where the so-called security team was hiding.

Lin Yuan only saw Zhang Yan wearing a bone-conduction earphone all day long, and a gleaming black pistol tucked into her waistband.

She would also occasionally communicate some jargon over the walkie-talkie.

“Forest needs #3 fertilizer today.”

“Arrive at location #6 at 10:20 sharp, plan to take Avenue #7, subsequent route to be determined midway.”

“Forest needs sunlight, all points begin deployment.”

.

.

“Forest” is Lin Yuan’s current callsign.

Zhang Yan gave it to him, symbolizing prosperity and vigor, like a great forest teeming with life and nurturing all things.

It can be said that Zhang Yan has high hopes for Lin Yuan; her initial perception was correct—her senior brother was indeed no ordinary person and would surely achieve world-changing feats.

As for “needs #3 fertilizer,” it refers to Lin Yuan needing to eat meal #3.

To prevent food poisoning, Lin Yuan’s current food and drinks are specially supplied, and even the tap water pipes in his home are equipped with various sensor detectors, fearing the infiltration of neurotoxins that can be absorbed through the skin.

Even more exaggerated, various vantage points around Lin Yuan’s residence have also been secured.

The high-level security for Lin Yuan is entirely due to his destruction of Tesla’s trillions in market value.

After all, Tesla Delivery is under the Tesla Group.

With his open-sourcing, major domestic internet companies in Dragon Country instantly went into a frenzy, each scrambling to enter the delivery industry according to the open-source standards.

Lin Yuan’s open-sourcing was equivalent to dismantling the barriers of the delivery industry.

Any manufacturer or enterprise, as long as they follow the standards and specifications, can build their own advanced AI-powered delivery standard.

More crucially, this allowed the higher-ups to see a new direction for technological development.

Perhaps a new technology, once it develops to a certain extent, can be suddenly halted and then open-sourced, allowing various parties to participate, instead of heading towards the traditional monopoly common in the internet industry.

Based on Lin Yuan’s open-source system, each city can develop its own unique delivery platform.

This was unimaginable before, as the biggest problem was that delivery platforms thrive most on economies of scale, a typical winner-take-all scenario.

But Lin Yuan’s open-sourcing changed the rules of the delivery industry.

He introduced a regional competition mechanism using AI technology, allowing various merchants to compete on food safety and meal taste, rather than blindly competing on price and fighting to the death on delivery platforms.

In fact, most diners don’t care if delivery is a few dollars more or less; they only focus on price when they cannot accurately judge the quality of the meal.

The significance of Lin Yuan’s open-source system is that it introduced an automated food safety standard control system into the delivery industry, as well as a fraud-proof diner rating system.

If viewed outside the delivery industry, this is revolutionary.

Precisely because of this, he touched the interests of countless people, not only the pie of foreign-funded Tesla, but also the pie of many domestic players.

However, the higher-ups saw Lin Yuan’s painstaking efforts and his noble integrity in abandoning high profits, which is why they immediately offered him protection.

To make the domestic scoundrels understand the situation, the higher-ups quickly gave Lin Yuan an extremely high evaluation.

In the most prime time slot of the most prime program on CCTV, Lin Yuan was featured in a special interview, where he was awarded the honorary title of “Model Youth Technology Worker of the New Era.”

Dragon Country’s honorary titles are divided into two categories: permanent and special.

Permanent national honorary titles are already very prestigious, while special national honorary titles are almost as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns in peacetime, used to commend advanced deeds that are unconventional and uncommon.

Lin Yuan clearly falls into this category.

With this title, no one in the country dared to openly challenge Lin Yuan.
