Chapter: 6485

"He Yuanjiang thought for a moment before speaking up: 'Mr. Ye, honestly, the twenty billion US dollars in education funds seem like too much. Jinling can only cultivate around ten thousand relevant talents annually, and we won't be able to recruit them all.'"

Yedchen nodded his head: "Single-handedly supporting schools and students will definitely not cost this much money, but I'm thinking about cooperating more deeply with those schools that want to develop related fields..."

"Locally, there are quite a few companies that don't prioritize research and development, spending hundreds or even thousands of billions annually, yet not using the profits to develop new scientific technologies. Instead, they use it to develop new game products, fast-moving consumer goods, and live streaming e-commerce. Although I have no authority to judge their right or wrong, I would not like us to be like them. The 20 billion US dollars is just a starting point, if these schools can utilize our provided hardware and funds to develop better technologies, I am willing to increase it by fivefold next year."

"When Yedchen spoke sincerely: 'This time we're cooperating with the schools is to position ourselves as truly selfless beings. We'll give schools money to strengthen their educational capabilities and students' financial difficulties. Whether these students graduate and join Long'an Automobile or not, we will guarantee they can focus on studying until graduation. After graduation, even if they don't join Long'an Automobile, but flow into other car companies, it's still a contribution to the Chinese automotive industry, if they're willing to stay in Jinling and join Long'an Automobile, then I'll be able to reap the benefits while doing good deeds, with boundless merits!'"

"Considering the scale of this project, which is at least several hundred billion US dollars, the preparation time for Yedchen and his family was actually quite rushed."

"Even before the press conference is called, many details still need to be fine-tuned, and some places may even require last-minute adjustments or changes. Yedchen spent an entire morning with everyone ironing out all the details that could be thought of beforehand, then left the White Gold Hall to have lunch with his family, as his wife Shuo Chunran had already left early in the morning and he didn't need to pick her up, only needed to wait for her at the White Gold Hall."

"When it comes to this joint venture, even people in Antarctica are closely following the development. Many citizens have already entered online live streaming platforms to watch the press conference in real-time, just like they would eagerly watch a car company's product launch.

Wu Feiyun is paying close attention to the press conference from her location, despite being far away. Her eyes remain fixed on the screen as she watches the event unfold.

By her side stands her trusted advisor and Wu family heirloom, Wu Tianlin. At an age of over a hundred years old, Wu Tianlin approaches Wu Feiyun with great respect: 'Your Majesty, I've gathered some information about this joint venture. An and Ye families have agreed to cooperate in the new energy vehicle sector, having secured land and permits from Jinling. This matter is still under wraps, but today's press conference should serve as an announcement to the public.'

Wu Feiyun nodded solemnly: 'An and Ye families are actually cooperating again? I never thought they would do that. The two families have always had some distance between them, with no love lost since An Chengqi took An Chenguang back to China and Ye Long'an was killed by Chang Sheng, leaving their children's whereabouts unknown. An family has been particularly dissatisfied with Ye family ever since.'

Wu Feiyun asked: 'So why do you think they're cooperating again now, even going so far as to join forces?'

Wu Tianlin replied: 'In my opinion, this cooperation isn't all that surprising, Your Majesty. There are three reasons for it...'"

Wu Feiyun nodded lightly, without pursuing this topic further. In her opinion, neither An family nor Ye family was the most important. The most important thing was to find out who that mysterious person was behind An family. Only then could she feel at ease.

At this moment, the live broadcast in the background suddenly transmitted a sound: "Please, media friends, start arriving. The press conference will begin one hour from now."

Wu Feiyun fixed her gaze on the video screen, muttering to herself: "An Chengqi is probably watching the same live broadcast somewhere, seeing her family and grandparents reconciling, and she should be very happy."

Wu Tianlin said: "Your Majesty, since you've always believed An Chengqi is still alive, won't this time's cooperation between An family and Ye family be An Chengqi secretly plotting?"

"Not possible," Wu Feiyun cut off his words firmly: "An Chengqi is a rare talent in today's world. If she were still alive, she would have long since made her calculations clear and wouldn't lose her sanity at this moment."

Wu Feiyun furrowed her brow: "The Ghostly Assembly has built dozens of hideouts around the world over a hundred years. Who could guess where his next target would be? Since the four dukes are not his match, only I and the three elder leaders have the potential to defeat him. Together, we can lay in ambush at most four locations, but the probability of this gamble is still less than one-tenth."

Wu Tianlin's eyes lit up and he said: "Can't we deliberately drop some clues for him to catch? If we lead him by the nose, he'll definitely fall into our trap!"

Wu Feiyun nodded slightly, unconsciously thinking: "That's a good idea, but how can we drop clues without being suspected? This person is not only cautious but also must have grasped one of our weaknesses. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to appear in North Europe in time to rescue Lin Wan'er or find our hideout in Cyprus."

Wu Tianlin thought for a moment and then said: "If he really has our weakness, we can re-activate all the related people and events during that period once we enter the ambush phase. Since that's the case, the weak points will also be reopened."

Wu Feiyun suddenly had an idea and blurted out: "I just thought of something - our first loss at his hands should have been when we sent agents to New York to take down the An family network."

"That's correct," Wu Tianlin nodded. "All our agents were unaccounted for that time."

Wu Feiyun said again: "According to logic, the agents wouldn't know where they came from, so they couldn't leak information to him. But he was still able to appear in North Europe in time and rescue Lin Wan'er, then find Cyprus..."

As she spoke, Wu Feiyun asked Wu Tianlin: "Was the cavalry guard sent to capture Lin Wan'er really sent from Cyprus?" JrNovels.com
