Zhou Chao waved his hand calmly.
Ling Chen looked at Zhou Chao in confusion, just about to ask, when he heard the boss say, “The higher-ups are already aware of this matter, and this enterprise has also been specially approved by ‘that person.’ It’s to expedite our research on these technologies and apply them in reality, benefiting more ordinary people.”
“‘That person’ specially approved it!” Ling Chen stood up from his chair with a “swish,” gaping at Zhou Chao with wide eyes.
Unexpectedly, just after Boss went out for a stroll and came back, he brought such a big surprise. Ling Chen felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
Zhou Chao was also startled by Ling Chen’s sudden movement, even spilling the tea in his hand.
With an exasperated glance at Ling Chen, he wiped the water off his pants and said, “You’re in such a high position, yet you’re still so jittery. People who don’t know might think the management of Dragonfly lacks stability.”
“Boss, I’m just excited! Tell me about it, did you meet with ‘that person’? Were you excited? Nervous?” Ling Chen bombarded Zhou Chao with questions.
Listening to Ling Chen’s rapid-fire questioning, Zhou Chao felt his veins bulging and his teeth clenched!
“Ling Chen, since you’re in such high spirits, why don’t you go for a run outside for a bit?”
Ling Chen hesitated for a moment, looking at Zhou Chao’s expressionless face, unsure if he had been confused by the recent information. He walked towards the door.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but shake his head and pat himself on the forehead. “Where are you going? Are you really going out for a run?”
Hearing Zhou Chao’s words, Ling Chen realized and said somewhat anxiously, “Boss, I was shocked by what you said just now. My mind didn’t react in time.”
In his heart, Ling Chen cursed himself. Where did his usual composure and stability go? It was just a meeting with that high-level leader, yet he had lost his focus.
Actually, Zhou Chao could understand Ling Chen’s reaction. As an ordinary person who had become a successful entrepreneur, having a meeting and discussing company matters with “that person” would naturally be very exciting for anyone.
“Alright, sit down. Let’s talk business. Enough of this nonsense!” Zhou Chao didn’t want to dwell on this any longer. He wanted to finish explaining things quickly so he could go home and see his wife.
Immediately, Ling Chen sat back down, temporarily putting aside his thoughts.
“Boss, if what you said is true, then the future potential of this new company will be much greater than that of the Dragonfly Group!”
“That’s right. Currently, Dragonfly Group is on the right track, and we don’t need to spend too much effort on it anymore. In the future, our focus will be on the artificial intelligence company that is about to be established!”
Zhou Chao agreed with Ling Chen’s words. Although Dragonfly Group had many subsidiaries and Zhou Chao held shares in several top foreign companies, in terms of future development trends, the field of artificial intelligence indeed surpassed all of these.
“Boss, how do you plan to arrange this new company?” Ling Chen asked eagerly, his eyes fixed on Zhou Chao.
Zhou Chao smiled slightly, understanding Ling Chen’s little scheme. All he wanted was to manage this new enterprise.
Although that was Zhou Chao’s initial intention as well, he still needed to give it a good shake-up.
“What’s the matter? Do you have any ideas? You don’t want to take on the role of responsible person for this company, do you?”
Ling Chen was momentarily speechless. He wanted to say that he did want to take on the role of responsible person for this new company, but he was afraid that the boss would misunderstand his intentions. If he said he didn’t want it, he would feel a bit unwilling. After all, establishing a unicorn company in the field of artificial intelligence from scratch was as satisfying as finding an oasis in the desert.
Anyone would be willing to join this new artificial intelligence company.
Zhou Chao didn’t pay attention to Ling Chen’s contemplation but continued speaking to himself.
“You also know the importance of this company. Not only do we value it, but the higher-ups value it even more. The difficulties we will face in the future can be imagined. Therefore, the person in charge must be someone who can be fully trusted!”
Ling Chen didn’t care about his dignity anymore and quickly exclaimed, “Boss, you’re talking about me, right? Besides me, no one else is more suitable!”
“You know the importance of this. If anything goes wrong, both you and I will be in trouble!”
Ling Chen stood up abruptly, his expression serious. “Boss, rest assured, I will not make any mistakes!”
Zhou Chao glanced at him, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and calmly lit it, while Ling Chen remained standing, looking serious.
It wasn’t until Zhou Chao finished smoking that he spoke slowly, “Have you really made up your mind? You know, in the future, you’ll have to stay in Fog City or even in the country for a long time, and the same goes for your son, Lingyang!”
“Boss, if I’m really put in charge of this company, even if I have to stay in Fog City for the rest of my life, I’m willing to do it! I believe Lingyang will understand me!”
Hearing these resolute words, Zhou Chao nodded with a smile.
He waved his hand gently, indicating Ling Chen to sit down.
“What the new company lacks now is headquarters and corresponding research facilities. You need to set them up in the shortest time possible, and as for how much money to spend, it’s not something you need to consider!”
