System: Master Your Life-Chapter 819 - 201: Profitable Investment, Open-Minded Chi Linyue (Part 4)

"Heh, supposedly immune to all poisons!"

Chi Linyue thought he was joking.

"Let's not talk about that, let's keep swimming!"

"Uh-huh."

The three of them swam here for more than an hour before coming ashore.

Just regular swimming, enjoying the joy of being in the water.

Upon getting ashore, everyone put on their clothes, intending to continue exploring the island.

This time they brought food, so they're staying here overnight.

This visit was on foot, wandering around.

The scenery here is beautiful, the environment is great, with many places being visual feasts.

They walked around and it was already evening.

Everyone returned to the helicopter to eat.

After Xu Lin filled his stomach, he impulsively wanted to learn how to fly the helicopter.

Among many aircraft, helicopters are already the easiest to operate.

Most people can learn with systematic training and dozens or even hundreds of hours of flight practice.

But Xu Lin is not most people.

Nor is he among the minority.

He's one of a kind.

Extraordinary learning ability allowed him to quickly grasp a skill.

Tilin merely explained things to him and demonstrated the operations.

Unexpectedly, Xu Lin learned it within an hour.

"His brain really amazes me, it took me thirty hours to learn to fly a helicopter, and he can learn it in an hour!"

Tilin was quite surprised and couldn't help but tell Chi Linyue, both women were on the ground while Xu Lin was flying the helicopter.

Judging by the flight trajectory of the helicopter, Xu Lin was already quite skilled.

Chi Linyue marveled, "Yeah, his learning ability is incredible; he demonstrated it to me before."

More than an hour later, Xu Lin had his fun in the sky.

He finally came down.

It was already dark by then.

Lights were on the island, though not many, part of the initial infrastructure of the island.

At least it wasn't pitch black at night.

There were lights indeed.

"How does it feel?" Tilin asked.

Xu Lin: "One word, awesome!"

The feeling of flying a plane is truly incomparable to driving a car.

Xu Lin, still craving more, "If I get the chance, I want to try flying a bigger plane, even a fighter jet!"

Tilin laughed, "Fighter jets might be hard, but big planes, you could have a chance; you can learn with my aircraft whenever there's an opportunity."

Half an hour later.

The three came to the cabin area.

"Let's stay here tonight, but there's no blankets or mats, we'll have to sleep on wooden planks."

The two women toured the cabin; it indeed had nothing.

Calling it bare walls doesn't quite capture its starkness.

Fortunately, there's electricity and internet.

"Miss Chi, let's chat about what to invest in!"

Tilin opened her laptop.

"Here I come."

Chi Linyue scooted over and sat down.

Coming to North America, Chi Linyue thought about doing some small business to see if she could earn something; even if she lost money, it wouldn't matter too much as she wasn't going big.

Both women's goal was to invest in several companies.

They were aiming at small to medium-sized companies, valuable ones, hoping they would rise later; even if only one did, it'd be a win. Of course, not all will succeed, but for investors, one or two would be enough.

"Xu Lin, come and take a look!"

"Look at what?"

"We're thinking of making some small investments, take a look."

Chi Linyue told Tilin earlier that Xu Lin helped her with investments, earning her tens of millions.

"A scientist, you know this too?"

Tilin was surprised.

"It's useful to know many skills."

Xu Lin sat down between the two women, "Which companies caught your eye?"

Chi Linyue: "We're looking at small and medium-sized companies related to artificial intelligence, ever since your paper came out, quite a few companies have emerged."

Tilin: "Most of them are just frauds collecting money, like shell companies, not worth investing in, but some, one or two, are worth picking up, me and Miss Chi plan to see if there's a chance."

Xu Lin came to realize.

He actually had a skill, investment instinct.

He could tell whether a company was worth investing in.

Xu Lin thought for a moment, feeling like he should make a wave of investments too.

Otherwise, money was coming in too slowly, building the underground base would require a billion, clearly his current funds weren't enough.

If conditions allowed, Xu Lin also wanted to build an estate on the island, along with all sorts of miscellaneous facilities, adding up to who knows how much.

Clearly, he's short on funds.

Actually, at this point, in November, since August passed two months, Xu Lin earned quite a bit more, with savings reaching 330 million.

But the underground base required an upfront payment of fifty million, and he paid a balance for GPUs yesterday, costing another nineteen million dollars, totaling over 130 million.

Which means, in the coming days after Xu Lin pays the fifty million construction fees, he'd only have 150 million left.

Afterward, Xu Lin still needed to clear the remaining 950 million balance, buy servers, high-end ones costing a million each, starting with at least a few hundred, already costing billions more, plus various expenses, and currently, he only had five hundred GPUs, training AI might use them all up, definitely not enough.

1.5 billion RMB?

Not much!

Poor!

"Let me see what's going on, what companies are there?"

Chi Linyue showed Xu Lin the companies.

A total of twenty.

Holy crap, so many?

[HSH company, closing in three months, not worth investing.]

[jsis company, less than 30% return, not worth investing.]

...

[surpass, 235% return rate in a year, not bad.]

263% return rate, not bad?
