Nan Yi took Lin Shuyi on a quick tour of Scarlett Manor, but inside the building, he only took her to the living room and did not take her to visit other rooms.
"Nan Yi, how much did this house cost?"
"I'm not sure, it seems to be around 6.5 million."
The part that can be seen on the surface did cost this much, but the part that cannot be seen cost a lot.
Scarlett got a collector's certificate, which allows her to "collect" many heavy weapons on the market.
In an invisible place in the manor, Nan Yi has collected a lot of 30mm caliber "small bird guns". They are very powerful and can only shoot small sparrows weighing no more than one or two catties. They cannot shoot any larger animals, let alone humans.
Anyway, once a volley of bullets was fired, no matter which lawyer came to argue, he would not dare to say that the person who was hit was definitely a person. He could only strictly say that it was "a pool of flesh that was pieced together to resemble a mutilated human body."
There are also about 20 very crude remote-controlled toy cars, made of steel, tracked, with six thin tubes tied together on the top. They will spin in circles when powered on, which is very fun.
By the way, they can spit, and when they spit, they make a "plop plop" sound, and they can also spray copper shells onto the ground with a tinkling sound. Nan Yi's two sons like this kind of toy very much and gave them a name - saliva soldiers.
Nan Yi had no objection to this name, but Scarlett disagreed. She insisted on calling this thing "M134 Vulcan Cannon".
Really, you are so serious with children.
There are three low semicircular buildings in the woods, with a car parked inside each of them. They are green and oddly shaped, and have very unpleasant names. They are not sports cars or SUVs, but something like infantry fighting vehicles.
Once a militiaman, always a militiaman. Nan Yi, a half-baked communications militiaman, has placed a lot of broken tubes in the manor that can launch things in a curve. In his spare time, he has already prepared all the shooting parameters. Whenever necessary, he can launch three rapid shots at certain specific areas at any time.
In short, as long as it can be performed in the manor and can be legally collected, the manor probably has it. When you are bored, you can pull it out and play with it. As long as the bullets and shells do not fly out of the manor, it is legal. The nearest neighbors are several miles away, so there is absolutely no possibility of complaints about noise pollution.
As for who sneaks in and gets accidentally injured, that's just fine. Lawyers who specialize in resolving economic disputes can cross over to handle criminal cases. They have the castle principle on the left and the stand-still law on the right. If they still lose the case, they will all be laid off and experience the pain of labor.
"Do you live here alone?" Lin Shuyi asked again.
"No, there is another very good friend who also lives here and will be back very late."
Lin Shuyi asked suspiciously: "Friend?"
"Yes, friends. Very good friends. So good that they had a child together."
Nan Yi's witty words were no longer witty to Lin Shuyi's ears. She sighed and said, "Don't let Liu Zhen know."
"I see. It's getting late. I'll take you out for dinner."
Lin Shuyi originally wanted to say, “No need to go out to eat, I’ll cook it,” but after thinking about it, she felt it was not appropriate and could only respond with “Okay.”
After having a meal together, Nan Yi finally managed to deal with Lin Shuyi. From then on, they would meet once or twice a year as a routine, which was considered enough to explain themselves.
As the car drove out of 59th Street, Nan Yi's phone rang.
"Nan Yi?"
"Mosquito, why did you call me so late? If I hadn't been delayed by something, I would have been in Beijing by now."
"I can't help it. I can only move freely today. Where are you?"
"Don't worry about where I am. If you're still in the city, I can find you. But if you're in Ithaca, forget it. It's hundreds of kilometers away."
"No, I'm still in downtown New York, in Harlem."
"Which street?"
“116th Street.”
"Wait..." Nan Yi took out a map of New York in the car and found 116th Street. "Twenty minutes later, go out and walk southwest. The first intersecting street is 125th Street. Walk west for about 100 meters and you will see the Apollo Theater. Wait for me at the theater entrance."
"good."
Eighteen minutes later, Nan Yi arrived at the entrance of the Apollo Theater, but Gu Wen had not arrived yet.
In the 22nd minute, Gu Wen heard it, and it was obvious that he had left himself some time.
"I haven't seen you for a few days. Why have you gained weight?"
"Haha, I've been eating hamburgers every day these days, three at a meal. How can I not get fat?" Gu Wen said with a smile.
“It’s not like there aren’t any in the country.”
“It’s free to eat here.”
"Haha." Nan Yi chuckled and asked, "How long can I stay outside?"
"Just go back before nine o'clock at night. I've been bored these days. You stay in the room with me every day. One of you is grinding his teeth and the other is farting. I can't sleep well at night."
"Hahaha, Cornell said it's in New York, but it's more than 300 kilometers away from here. It won't be easy for you to come here in the future. I'll take you around. Our first stop is Ellis Island."
"Okay, okay, I want to go see the Statue of Liberty." Gu Wen nodded in agreement hurriedly.
"Get in the car." Nan Yi brought Gu Wen to the front of the car and said.
Gu Wen looked at the car in disbelief and said, "You still have a car here?"
"Don't make a fuss. If you have a decent job in China, you can afford a car. I used to work in a Chinese company as a white-collar worker."
"That's awesome." Gu Wen said in amazement.
"Stop talking nonsense and get in the car."
Nan Yi pushed and pressed Gu Wen from behind, and he pushed him into the car. Then he also got into the car.
"And the driver?"
"I brought it from China. Hasn't anyone in Beijing heard of me?" Nan Yi said lightly.
"I've heard a little bit, but you may not even know it yourself, one of our classmates works at Yaqing Company."
"Who is it? Why don't I have any impression of it?"
The consultant said, "Narling, she used to sit at the same table with me."
"I remember the name. I saw it on the roster. I remember there was a classmate with that last name, but I can't remember her name. You know, I didn't have the heart to study at that time. There were only a few girls in the class whose names I knew."
"It's not surprising that you don't know me. I hardly ever see you in the classroom. But it's also strange that you actually got admitted in 1977." Gu Wen said puzzledly, "I also took the college entrance examination that time. I had a high fever at that time, so I did terribly on the test. I took the next two tests, but I don't know why. As soon as I got to the examination room, I felt weak and couldn't perform to my full potential. I failed every time."
"Hey, that's strange. Then how did you get admitted in 1984?"
"You don't know anything about me? I went to college in 1983 and took a year off." Gu Wen said depressedly.
"After going to the countryside in 1977, I seldom went back to Erhua. I knew almost nothing about what was going on in the staff quarters." Nan Yi took out a bottle of water from the car and handed it to Gu Wen.
"No wonder." Gu Wen took the water, opened it and took a sip. "I heard from Na Ling that you are no longer in Yaqing Company. Where did you go after that?"
"Right here. I was transferred here from Yaqing and worked for two years. I returned to the capital less than a month ago. I'm working at the Jiuyao Factory now."
"puff……"
Gu Wen was so shocked that the water in his mouth sprayed out.
Wiping his lips with his sleeve, Gu Wen said, "Are you sick? If you go to that crappy factory, even if you become the factory director, it won't be as good as here."
"You're right. I'm the factory manager there."
"A 25-year-old factory manager is awesome, but I think it's still not as good as here. How much do you make a month working at Yaqing? How much can you make here?"
"You can ask me, but don't ask foreigners about their income here casually in the future. It's very impolite." Nan Yi gave a piece of advice and said, "When I was in Yaqing, I made about 600 yuan, but the company that sent me there also gave me another salary. After I got here, it's about 5,000 yuan."
"RMB?"
"The Americans are giving you RMB, so of course you are American." Nan Yi said proudly.
"It's damned much. My dad can't even make 5,000 RMB a year."
"Just fool others, we are one family. I don't know Erhua's tricks. Your father makes at least 7,000 yuan a year."
"That's not true." Gu Wen denied weakly, but seeing Nan Yi's mocking look, he changed his words and said, "Even if there is, it's still not as good as your one month. In our hospital, you are the best."
"Don't worry, you will definitely not be worse off than me in the future. I haven't asked you yet, what major are you studying?" Nan Yi comforted.
"It was originally called Computer Engineering and Science, and in 1984 it was changed to Computer Science and Technology. At Cornell, it's called Computer Science."
"Oh, I can tell from the moment I hear you're from the school next door to mine."
"Hahaha." Gu Wen laughed wildly.
"Smile, be careful or I'll punish you. Aren't the grandchildren in your school good at running away? Run one for me later."
"I admit defeat. I have never fought since I was a child. I am definitely no match for you."
"Forget it, I won't tease you. How's your major? You didn't even learn how to type, did you?"
"Don't underestimate me. My grades are among the best in the department, otherwise I wouldn't have been chosen to study abroad. Nan Yi, do you know anything about artificial intelligence?"
"You've never eaten pork, but you've never seen a pig run. I've heard about it here. Isn't it something like intelligent information processing and intelligent control? Oh, yes, there's also a neural network theory. No matter how intelligent it is, it's in the computer. I know computers. I can type a page of a report in less than five minutes. I'm a very good typist. I can type blindly. Do you understand?"
"It seems you don't understand." Gu Wen shook his head and said, "Artificial intelligence can do a lot of things. Take intelligent robots for example. If robots are like us humans, they can talk and think, and have hands and feet. In the future, they will replace us humans to do many things, and many humans will be freed from heavy work."
"Forget it. Even if what you said is true, the appearance of this thing is not a good thing. All the jobs are done by robots. What are people going to do? If they don't go to work, will you pay them? You said that if all the work is replaced by robots, the thousands of employees in the factory and their families will all be left with nothing?"
"Your worry is totally unnecessary. I just made an assumption. If intelligent robots are to become that intelligent, there is still a long way to go. Perhaps technology will advance greatly, and one person working can feed thousands of people, and one person farming can feed millions of people.
Maybe one day, everyone will not have to work, but just talk about art and life, and pursue spiritual abundance. In terms of material, intelligent robots will create everything we need. "Gu Wen said with longing.
"Will humans control intelligent robots, or will humans be controlled by machines? Since robots are intelligent, will they evolve on their own? Will humans one day become slaves of intelligent robots?"
Nan Yi waved his hand and continued, "Don't tell me that intelligent robots were invented by humans. All their behaviors are controlled by humans. Human production can also be understood as manufacturing, right?
Your father and your mother created you, so do you obey every instruction from your parents? Can I understand your rebellion as a bug?
Is it possible that intelligent robots will become rebellious and disobey their parents?
The intelligence you are talking about should be realized through program code, right? Then who can guarantee that there will be no bugs in the underlying logic of the program language?
Or, if we say that the machine language of combinations of 0s and 1s is the only language that computers can recognize, who can guarantee that it can recognize it correctly every time?
Since it is intelligence, the amount of calculation must be huge, possibly even to infinity. I remember that infinity is not just a mathematical term, it is also a philosophical term. So is it possible for one part of infinity [1/∞] to exist?
There may be a 1/∞ probability that the computer will make a recognition error. If it does, what kind of chain reaction will it cause?
Will the intelligent robots master super Qigong, be able to fly and hide, and become like gods? Or will they just turn into rebellious children, and destroy all of humanity as their highest command? "
"Wait, wait a minute, you've confused me, let me sort it out."
"Don't think about it for now. You'll have plenty of things to think about when you get back. Our main task right now is to have fun."
Nan Yi only knows the basics about infinity and machine language. He is not even sure whether there are any logical errors. How could he expect Gu Wen to figure it out and criticize him right away? That would be such a slap in the face.
It’s better to let Gu Wen go back and think about it slowly. By then, you won’t be able to criticize him even if you want to.
"That's right. It's rare for me to come out. I don't know when I'll be able to go out and play next time. I'll think about it when I go back." Gu Wen said casually, "How long will it take to get there?"
Nan Yi looked through the car window and said, "The national park is just ahead. We'll be there soon after turning the corner."
Nan has already started to dabble in basic applications of artificial intelligence such as industrial robotic arms, and has also been planning toys such as robot dogs and robot cats. Now the only thing left is the advanced application areas of artificial intelligence.
For example, automatically turning on the microphone to collect voice, automatically tracking user usage habits, and automatically turning on the front camera. Once these advanced application areas are realized, accurate advertising push and delivery can be achieved. As a result, Nan can create one or even several companies with valuations of hundreds of billions or trillions of dollars.
This has broader prospects than investing in research on robotic arms or robot dogs, and will be of greater help to mankind.
Nanyi needs high-end artificial intelligence talents and will establish the "Laozi Highest-end Intelligent Research Institute" in China in the future to fill the gap in the application of high-end artificial intelligence in China.
"Intelligence, intelligence, tell me, how can I become the most beautiful woman in the world?"
"Dear, Nan's Plastic Surgery Hospital welcomes you. We are now offering a special promotion. If you get a double eyelid surgery, you get one free. Triple eyelid surgery will make your facial features more three-dimensional..."
Technology changes life, and technology changes the mode of robbery.
After taking Gu Wen to leave a "I was here" mark on the Statue of Liberty, Nan Yi then took him to Central Park, the Empire State Building, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Times Square.
It was almost half past seven, so I treated him to a meal and sent him back before nine o'clock.
After returning to Scarlett Manor, Nan Yi went into the study and called Liang Huiwen.
"Huiwen, I plan to separate the personnel in charge of collecting talent information from the intelligence team and set up a special talent team."
"Nansheng, the person in charge of this area is already operating independently in the intelligence team. Setting up a special team is just a matter of adding a sign." Liang Huiwen said.
"Well, the budget needs to be higher. The talent team needs to acquire a headhunting company."
"clear."
"Catch a few grasshoppers. I'll get them from the incense burner ."
"yes."
“Hang up.”
After finishing the call, Nan Yi washed up and went to bed. With Scarlett not around, he could sleep soundly without having to worry about someone sitting on him at any time.
While Nan Yi was sleeping soundly, the Mumbai subsidiary of Third Biopharmaceuticals, "Glorious Peacock", internally code-named "Little White Mouse", was sending out two teams of volunteers.
One team went directly to Kamathipura in Mumbai, which is one of the largest and most densely populated red-light districts in the world, with more than 100,000 "little game inviters". The duty of these volunteers is to spread AIDS prevention knowledge to the "little game inviters" and distribute condoms to them for free.
Another team went to the wealthy area of ​​Mumbai next to the Dharavi slum. The front-end controllers of the Kamathipura "gaming platform" all lived in this area. They lived a life of luxury and often boasted to their friends that "I have fifteen toilets at home."
Yes, the abundance of toilets in India is definitely something worth boasting about, especially since the people in charge of front desk control are basically from low castes and have worked their way up from the slums. They can be said to have personally experienced the pain of "difficulty in using the toilet".
Our friends are still sharing a toilet with tens of thousands of people, but the front desk controls people and they have already achieved toilet freedom. What else can they show off if not the toilet? Showing off luxury goods, which our friends don’t recognize, is like winking at a blind man.
Faraqui, the president of Glorious Peacock, was sitting in the home of Lalit, the big boss of the Kamathipura gaming platform, and the two parties were signing a contract.
Glorious Peacock provides a batch of shit-yellow pills to the Kamathipura gaming platform to enhance the gaming user experience. The pills are provided free of charge without charging any fees, but the gaming platform is obliged to provide a "User Experience Feedback Form".
After the contract was signed, Faraqui waved back, and behind him, an assistant who looked more like a thug than an assistant came forward with two boxes and handed them to Faraqui.
Faraqui took the box, put it on the table and opened it, "Mr. Larrit, this is my gift to you."
Larrit looked into the two boxes. One box was full of gold jewelry inlaid with sapphires, and the other box contained several gold Rolex watches.
He happily picked up a gold watch and put it on his left wrist to try it out. "Mr. Farrakhai, how does this watch look on me?"
"Very good, it suits your temperament, Mr. Larrit."
"Haha, Mr. Farrakhai, thank you, I am very satisfied with your gift." Larrit said happily.
"I'm glad that Mr. Larit likes it. I'll take my leave today. I'll come back to get the feedback form in a month." After saying this, Farrakhai stood up and left with Larit's servant seeing him off.
When he got on the street, Faraqui felt hungry, so he quickly walked through the rich area and came to the street of the slums. He stopped in front of a stall, ordered a hamburger full of Indian flavor, and asked the stall owner to sprinkle more shit-yellow masala on it.
Masala is the favorite condiment of Indians and is added in large quantities to almost all food, so the final product of Indian cuisine is yellow and clumpy.
When the burger was ready, Faraqui took it and started to devour it.
After finishing a burger, his stomach was no longer empty, so Faraqui got back into the car and headed for the suburbs of Mumbai.
After about an hour, he arrived at a scenic lake in the suburbs of Mumbai.
This lake was named Peacock Lake a few days ago. Not far from the lake there is a small hill called "Peacock Mountain". There are several winding streams on the mountain that flow along the mountain and finally converge into Peacock Lake.
Water samples from the stream have been tested and traced, and the water quality is extremely good. It can be drunk directly as mineral water and has no connection with the Ganges.
The area within a two-kilometer radius surrounding Peacock Lake has now become the property of Glorious Peacock, and workers are building fences along the boundary line.
On the left bank of Peacock Lake, hundreds of workers are busy carrying giant stone slabs. That is the large construction site of Peacock Villa. On the right bank, hundreds of farmers are cultivating fields. Near the foot of the mountain, dozens of farmers are transplanting and grafting fruit trees.
Halfway up the Peacock Mountain, a very tough-looking woman was holding a high-powered telescope and observing the entire scope and extension of Peacock Villa.
The woman's name is Puran, and she is the leader of the "Dalit Women Soldiers", a guard team under Luban Forestry.
"Mark, positive 30 degrees, 2400 meters, that is a very good sniper position; positive 75 degrees, 2750 meters, there is a depression, suitable for mortar positions, fill it up; minus 35 degrees, there is a good place to set up an observation post; minus 95 degrees, there is a sniper position..."
Plan observed 360 degrees carefully several times, took back the key points from the people next to him, took out a stack of papers from the bag he was carrying, and spread them on the ground to compare them.
This was not her first time to conduct terrain observation. The Dalit female soldiers had been here for several days. From the first day they arrived, they began to conduct terrain reconnaissance, recording the key points that needed attention at different time points, different weather, and different angles.
Finally, these key points will be summarized and analyzed, and then a defense plan for Peacock Villa will be formulated. After the plan is implemented, several simulated attack and defense exercises will be conducted to eliminate as many defense loopholes in the villa as possible.
Puran must do her best, as this is not only related to her duties, but also to the reputation of the Dalit female soldiers. She has received a notice that the Sabadi Ka transvestite team of Wangmu Fruit Industry will be the ones to carry out the first defense project acceptance.
The Dalit female soldiers had cooperated with this group of androgynous monsters before. After they had fought each other, the Dalit female soldiers lost and were ridiculed by these monsters. If "they" find loopholes in the defense project this time, the Dalit female soldiers will lose all their face and will never be able to raise their heads again.
"Captain Plan, how many days will it take you to complete the investigation?" Faraqui came to the halfway point of the mountain and found Plan.
"There will be a heavy rainstorm the day after tomorrow, so we have to do another reconnaissance."
"Is a week enough?"
"That's enough."
"I'll recruit more people to help after a week." Faraqui shook his head and said, "We are on a tight schedule. The underground project hasn't started yet. We need to hurry up."
"learn."
…
Nan Yi walked out of the exit of Kai Tak Airport under the escort of three beautiful stewardesses.
He was on Scarlett's plane, which was equipped with three stewardesses, each one more beautiful than the other. Two of them were introduced by his mother Devin, so in terms of relationship, they were her ex-girlfriends.
"Damn, this lesbian, the quality of his girlfriends is getting higher and higher, I curse her to get AIDS."
Nan Yi complained in his heart and thought that he should change Dewen's position. Her personal relationships were too complicated and she was no longer suitable to stay in a position involving too many secrets.
Taking advantage of the layover, Nan Yi got the feedback report on Grasshopper and Six Fingers sent by Liang Huiwen at the airport. After reading it, he asked someone to take it back.
Then she kissed Nan Youqiong for a while, sent him to Scarlett's plane, and then took Nan Wuwei to board the flight to Beijing.
Capital city.
Ge Cuizhu walked out of the Trademark Office with her secretary Shi Guofeng, checked the time, got in the car and rushed to the airport.
The Reclamation and Development Group is already building a dual headquarters structure and will also establish a headquarters in the capital.
The headquarters in Beijing is not for the convenience of Nan Yi, but to be closer to the policies. The fields that the Reclamation Group is engaged in now and in the future are closely related to national policies. In the future, running to agriculture and animal husbandry related departments will be something that needs to be done all year round.
"Guofeng, you will set off for Saibei tomorrow to investigate the dairy industry there. After the investigation, contact the local authorities to learn about their policies and find out who the local tyrants are.
When you come back, we will fly to Europe together to investigate the cattle breeding industry in France and Holland."
"Director Ge, isn't it too early for us to start planning for the milk industry? The group has limited energy. I think we should focus on the development of Jindoushan Company in the next step."
The title of president is not popular in China. Employees within the Reclamation Group call Ge Cuizhu the factory director. Although the Reclamation Group does not have a factory, it has many fields.
“Although the Tieshan Dairy has applied for a license, it will take several years for us to start business. What we need to do now is to do a good job of preliminary investigation and preparation, and then wait for the right time.
You said it was too early, but you didn’t know that when the Reclamation Group was still called the Reclamation Team, Nan Yi told me that we would enter the dairy industry in the future. Seven years ago, he had already been preparing for it. "
Ge Cuizhu said with emotion, and recalled in her heart a private word that Nan Yi once said: "Aunt, when the day comes when the Reclamation Group has a far-reaching influence, you must be mentally prepared for it to become a state-owned enterprise.
When the time comes, you should decide whether to retire early and enjoy your retirement, or to continue to work hard for a few more years. When you are faced with the decision, you should think carefully about it. "
Sighing in her heart, Ge Cuizhu once again pondered over what Nan Yi said about the separation between "extensive" and "intensive farming" methods. Big and comprehensive ones may not necessarily be kept, but small and fine ones can be passed down as family business.
It is really discouraging to have someone standing behind you who sees the problem too clearly. Before you even start, you have to be mentally prepared that the foundation you build does not belong to you. It is very likely that in the end, all you will get is money.
"As for money, if I go home now and do nothing, it will be enough to spend for two lifetimes, right? Wei Zhong is doing very well in his business, and I don't need to worry about him. Is it worth it for me to continue to work so hard?"
As human beings, there are always several times a year when we fall into self-denial, get lost for a few hours or days, and then return to the established track and continue moving forward.
Ge Cuizhu is now in self-denial.
Nan Yi took Nan Wuwei off the plane, went to the toilet first to help Nan Wuwei urinate, then he carried him on his shoulders and turned into a human donkey and walked out of the airport.
Outside the airport, Nan Yi and Ge Cuizhu met and chatted for half an hour. Then they separated again. Ge Cuizhu went to the terminal and Nan Yi returned to the old villa.
After returning to the old villa, Nan Yi found the rattan children's chair, tied it to the horizontal bar of the 28-inch bicycle, and took Nan Wuwei out for a walk.
