24: Chapter 24 Company Location, Engine Launch Event

...

In Coastal Sea, where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold, even this six-story small office building in the outer ring had a rent as high as 1.5 yuan per square meter. That was the daily price; the monthly rent for the entire building was 220,000 yuan.

Two days ago, a company named "Third-Party Biotechnology" had extravagantly rented the entire place.

The three of them walked through the building from top to bottom. Now, empty as it was, there wasn't much to see.

After familiarizing themselves with the location,

Lin Fang and Zhou Hui left, leaving the woman alone staring blankly at the empty company entrance and the cold, impersonal 5 million in the account.

Why 5 million? Lin Fang had transferred another 3 million in, as purchasing company assets would require significant expenditure.

Xu Anqing only snapped out of it after watching the two walk away, her small mouth slightly agape. "Holy moly, he really left me to handle this alone."

This was an immense trust.

Xu Anqing's palms grew sweaty. She had to do her absolute best in this challenge to live up to Lin Fang's expectations.

Wait,

It seemed the boss had left her a helper. Xu Anqing looked curiously at a black pentagram-shaped app on her phone. The app didn't even have a name. The boss had said it was an intelligent AI.

Xu Anqing wasn't unfamiliar with intelligent AIs. She already had one on her phone originally, which was quite helpful for work and life. When bored, she would even confide her thoughts to it.

Xu Anqing called out to her phone, "Xiao Ai."

No response. That sweet-voiced little AI didn't know where it had gone.

"Hei Ge!" Xu Anqing activated the intelligent AI the boss had given her.

"I'm here," a deep, uncle-like voice sounded.

Xu Anqing paused for a moment before asking, "Did you... do something to Xiao Ai?"

"..."

Nowadays, all kinds of AIs were blooming like flowers, but this intelligent AI assistant called Hei Ge was naturally a disguised data stream from Xiao Hei, the strong artificial intelligence. This was the result of Lin Fang's consideration. It would provide Xu Anqing with some support in business tactics,

Of course, only that much.

"Hei Ge, what can you do?" Xu Anqing sat alone in the spacious lobby. She had accepted the fact that Xiao Ai had mysteriously disappeared. Moreover, she discovered this AI's intelligence level was incredibly high; it understood whatever she said.

If this were launched on the market, it would surely be hugely popular.

"Commercial intrusion and legal assistance."

!! ⊙▽⊙

Hearing this answer, Xu Anqing froze. Was this something a proper AI would say? How did you pair those two terms together?

Xu Anqing tentatively mentioned the name of a well-known domestic browser company. In just a moment, large chunks of confidential information popped up.

Personnel changes, financial expenditures, strategic plans...

This can't be real,

Xu Anqing swallowed hard. Unconvinced, she clicked on one item. The company's top-secret meeting record, detailed down to the punctuation, appeared before her eyes, forcing her to believe it was real.

Isn't our company a legitimate, proper tech company?

Xu Anqing's hands trembled. The idea of pushing this AI to market had turned to dust.

This must be hidden well.

Why did the boss give her this Hei Ge? It bestowed an immense shock upon her young mind, suddenly elevating her perspective to another level, no longer confined by rules and regulations.

Xu Anqing took a deep breath and gazed at the empty office building.

This company is really... really awesome!

——

"Boss, the person in charge said it will take another 2 to 3 days."

After leaving the company, Lin Fang had Zhou Hui check on the progress of the villa renovation, while he himself returned home located in the inner ring of Coastal Sea.

After replying to Zhou Hui's message, Lin Fang turned his gaze to the computer. On the screen, Xu Anqing's oval-shaped avatar was gently swaying, as if she had seen something exciting.

Don't misunderstand; he didn't have a peeping habit.

Lin Fang was just observing the conduct of this new employee. The company's development was beginning to get on track. What Lin Fang wanted wasn't a slow-moving carriage, but a high-speed train racing forward. If she wasn't suitable, it was better for her to exit early.

So far, not bad. Lin Fang had high expectations for her.

Switching pages,

Lin Fang entered the official website of Xiongba Game Engine Co., Ltd. A launch event was underway.

At the game engine launch event site,

All work was unfolding in an orderly manner. The domestically developed game engine that had caused such a stir this week finally unveiled its curtain today.

During this week, more and more evidence indicated that this new company had truly developed a game engine leading the industry.

So much so that countless people came to attend the launch event. Major media outlets and game manufacturers all sent representatives. Notably, foreigners made up half of the audience seats.

Suddenly,

The arrival of two heavyweight figures at the entrance further shocked the media, with camera flashes constantly going off. The arrivals were the bosses of Tencent Games and NetEase Games, both giants in the domestic gaming industry.

The significance of figures of this caliber coming was immense.

Lin Tianxiong shook hands with them one by one, smiling. These were people who often appeared in newspapers. Previously, as a local boss, he wouldn't have had the chance to meet them.

They weren't on the same level at all. Thanks to his own kid. Digging coal had no future; high-tech was where the real value lay.

After some opening remarks from the female manager on stage, the launch event officially began.

"What are the advantages of our game engine?"

A middle-aged man with a receding hairline slowly ascended the launch event stage. Several lines of large text slowly appeared on the screen behind him.

——Xiongba Adaptive Dynamic Engine Architecture.

...

Watching the boasting at the launch event, Lin Fang laughed. "Xiao Hei, turns out you're this impressive,"

[All thanks to the boss's excellent teaching]

At that moment, Lin Fang suddenly received a message, along with a hotel location pin.

"Son, see the people sitting next to me? They talk in such an interesting way, cunning yet refined. Come here later, I'll take you to join the table for dinner."

Lin Fang: ...

It seemed there was a banquet after the launch event. That made sense; how many deals were negotiated over dinner tables? Now, Lin Tianxiong wanted to take Lin Fang to broaden his horizons.

Should he go or not?

After some consideration, Lin Fang declined. He had more important things to do. Taking advantage of these few days when Lin Tianxiong was busy and wouldn't return, he planned to go to the Venom Dimension again to test an idea in his mind, hoping to gain something.

After sending some instructions to his two employees, Lin Fang returned to the bedroom on the second floor.

Beep——

Lin Fang opened his eyes and looked around in surprise.
