Chapter 817 201: Profitable Investment, Open-Minded Chi Linyue (Part 2)

Chi Linyue couldn't help but blush.

"Have you ever been with a man?" Chi Linyue changed the topic.

"No, I generally don't fancy ordinary men, but if it's a scientist, I'm quite open to it."

"Why do you call him a scientist?"

"He used to call himself a scientist. I found the term interesting, so I called him that."

As they were talking.

Xu Lin walked out from the house.

He was wearing shorts, and the morning sun shone on his powerful muscles.

Glug, glug...

Xu Lin opened a bottle of red wine and finished it off directly by the pool.

He even let out a full belch at the end.

Then, Xu Lin directly jumped into the pool.

He swam over twenty meters in one go and arrived on Chi Linyue's side.

"Do you have any recommended construction companies? I bought a private island and want to do some construction."

Xu Lin approached Tilin and asked.

"Private island, what scale?"

"Twenty thousand acres. Do you know any construction companies from Europe?"

"North America won't work?"

"My private island is in North American territory. If I want to manage some sneaky affairs, I'd rather find a European construction company, and it must be private. I don't want to deal with politically affiliated people."

The state of Hawaii is also part of North America, considered an overseas territory.

So in the future, Xu Lin's servers will be placed on the private island for some time, but once matured, they'll be thrown directly into the Pacific Ocean.

This is because Xu Lin wants to avoid all oversight.

You should know that Xu Lin decided to create an AI that surpasses the era.

Assuming it materializes.

It would be a nuclear-level existence.

What does a nuclear bomb imply?

It means it is very strong, very terrifying, and very dangerous.

Xu Lin needs to hold it firmly in his hands; hence, he must avoid all national oversight.

Therefore, eventually finding a deep sea where no one knows and dumping it is inevitable and necessary.

Can servers be thrown into the seabed?

Of course, they can.

Microsoft even has an underwater data center, placing servers directly into the seabed.

However, there are multiple technical challenges, such as pressure resistance, sealing, maintenance, power supply, and data transmission issues. But these are problems for later, and Xu Lin believes he can solve them.

"I happen to know a foreign construction company run by Huaxia people. They usually take some small international projects. If it's not a large-scale project, you can look for them."

"Reliable?"

"First-class business capability with a good reputation and not expensive. I'll introduce them to you later."

"Okay, thanks."

"No need to thank."

After having breakfast in the morning, Xu Lin went alone to pay the balance for the GPUs he bought last time.

As for the arrived GPUs, Xu Lin rented a house in Los Angeles for a year and temporarily stored them there.

Moving into the afternoon.

Xu Lin met the Huaxia person Tilin mentioned, named Li Yongsheng. His company is called Yongsheng Construction.

He was a middle-aged man, appearing pretty shrewd.

However, mixing abroad, you must be shrewd; being honest-looking would only lead to getting bullied.

"Boss Xu, nice to meet you!"

Xu Lin shook hands with him.

Then Xu Lin spoke directly, "I have a private island in the Hawaii Islands. I mainly want to build an underground layer, which you can understand as an underground base, roughly rectangular, six hundred meters long, four hundred meters wide, sixty meters high, divided into two levels, and the top two hundred meters below the ground. Can you manage it?"

"Boss Xu, as long as the money is in place, there's nothing we can't handle!"

He patted his chest to guarantee.

"Where are the workers under you from?"

"Most are from Huaxia, others are from Southeast Asia and some White Europeans."

"Use Huaxia people for all the work. In terms of speed, I need the speed of Huaxia construction, can you deliver?"

Most bosses in the country are often not trustworthy; they are mostly feudal slave owners, leaving capitalists silent. But workers are absolutely reliable.

"Of course, we can deliver! Boss Xu, as I said, money talks, and everything is easily arranged!"

He laughed heartily.

Damn, this pretentious guy.

Xu Lin was not sure if this guy was a tricky businessman, but as long as he could handle it later, it's fine.

"What's your asking price here?"

Xu Lin asked him.

"As per Boss Xu's requirements, the initial estimate for this underground base is ten billion RMB!"

Ten billion was already beyond Xu Lin's current balance, but fortunately, he was likely to earn that this year, so it's within Xu Lin's acceptable range.

Besides, everyone in the industry knows there's a concept of balance payment. You must complete the project, and once I conduct an inspection, I'll pay the balance.

This project completion will inevitably be next year.

So Xu Lin wasn't worried about insufficient funds.

"I'll pay you fifty million as a down payment first, complete it within half a year, should be no problem, right?"

"Boss Xu, that's straightforward, but it doesn't necessarily take half a year. I'm all about efficiency, and it's possible to complete within three to five months. Also, I'm not someone who likes to dawdle around, finishing quickly, getting paid quickly, so Boss Xu can be assured; I can guarantee both speed and quality. I, Li, can survive internationally, not by fooling around and uphold the notion of honesty!"

Xu Lin did not respond to his lengthy speech, knowing the results would reveal the situation.

He grasped the critical information, "Three to five months, Boss Li should be true to his words; I remember that."

"Leave it to me, Boss Xu, honestly!"

"Meet me in Hawaii tomorrow morning. I'll be there, and then we'll head to my private island together."

Xu Lin arranged a location with him.
