System: Master Your Life-Chapter 821 - 202: Settling Investments and Returning Home—A Day with Xia Xiyao and Rong Xiyi

It takes ten hours to fly from Hawaii to New York, so Xu Lin and his companions settled in first upon arrival, planning to set off the following day.

The robot company they were looking for was translated into Chinese as 'Potential.'

Although they planned to visit the company the next day, the three investors had already contacted its owner in advance and conducted preliminary discussions.

The company seemed to be short on cash recently, and it was troubled by having good projects but no money.

This situation, having projects without money, is common in the market and happens frequently; however, Xu Lin understands that most projects have little future. The market is always survival of the fittest, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps, and there aren't many that can survive.

Chi Linyue said, "Tomorrow we'll negotiate, aiming for maximum profit."

The next day.

Since they'd already contacted the owner of Potential Company the day before, combined with the fact that the company was indeed short on cash, the owner arrived at the destination even earlier than Xu Lin and his team the next morning.

The owner was a young Caucasian man in his twenties named Reg, with a decent demeanor, radiating the vitality and confidence of youth.

"Ladies and gentlemen, take a look, this is the project our company is currently developing!"

Reg handed over documents to Xu Lin and the others, three copies in total.

It was about a robotics project.

The content was densely packed with professional data, appearing complex, with a lot of information.

This clearly exceeded the professional knowledge of Chi Linyue and Tilin, whose background was mostly in business studies.

But Xu Lin was able to analyze it.

He read through the document swiftly, scanning a page in one glance, and with a powerful brain, he now had an eidetic memory.

After reading, Xu Lin said, "There's a problem with your project."

As Xu Lin spoke, everyone looked at him.

Fearing a withdrawal of investment, Reg quickly said, "Mr. Xu, what seems to be the problem with the project?"

Xu Lin pointed at the data, "Your robot lacks prominent market competitiveness, and from your approach here, it seems you've looked into Young Master Xu's self-thinking model."

"Cough, cough, Mr. Xu, we've been researching Young Master Xu's model lately, but we're currently at a loss."

Reg scratched his head, slightly embarrassed, "Moreover, our funds are insufficient, and we can't afford to invest more in research and development for now."

[This Reg is quite reliable. He's a trustworthy person, and you might guide him a bit to ensure greater returns on investment.]

This was a hint from the investment intuition.

Oh?

Greater investment returns?

Xu Lin pondered for a moment.

Then he picked up a pen and wrote a very complex formula on the blank page of the document, providing a clear and detailed derivation. The whole formula filled four A4 papers.

Chi Linyue and her companion were destined not to understand it.

But Reg indeed had some ability to comprehend it.

At eighteen, he attended Stanford University with a full scholarship for computer science, interned at Stanford's AI lab after his second semester, and upon graduation, ventured into robotics, a field closely related to AI.

"Mr. Xu, this is..." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Reg's pupils shrank, aware of the significance of Xu Lin's writing.

"This is the formula for the self-thinking model. If you can study it thoroughly, your robots should make significant progress, at least increasing market competitiveness."

Xu Lin kept some back.

He only released one-tenth of the formula, withholding nine-tenths.

Evidently, Xu Lin wasn't going to reveal the entire formula.

Without considering anything else, although Reg was reliable, he was ultimately backed by North America.

Ultimately, assuming his company grows and is acquired by a large company, as the investment intuition suggests, the technology will end up being owned by the big company.

So, Xu Lin gave away just one-tenth, sufficient for him to earn some money.

The remaining nine-tenths belong to Xu Lin.

Moreover, there are domestic robot companies, even millions of them.

Xu Lin's thinking was now jumping ahead, considering investing in a valuable domestic robot company.

Even if the company grows big in the future, it's domestic.

Furthermore, if the chance arises, he might even consider starting a company himself.

He had too many ideas in his mind currently.

As for the formula of the self-thinking model, he still held back nine-tenths.

In his paper, Xu Lin only included the current formula he wrote for Reg, which wasn't as detailed as this one.

After all, such a small letter and symbol filled four A4 pages, merely the derivation process of the formula.

Then Xu Lin said, "But, this formula isn't free."

With the document in hand, he continued, "I've reviewed your details. You studied computer science at Stanford University and later interned at their AI lab, so clearly you possess considerable capability. Now, speaking of the main point, do you understand the value of this formula's derivation?

"I do! Mr. Xu, are you the Eastern Young Master Xu?"

Reg was astonished.

The release of such an elaborate formula derivation makes the implication apparent.
