Chapter 137 - Moving Forward.
Yang Dao agreed to the captain's suggestion. He would be getting back in practice starting tomorrow. With all that said, he walked out of the clubhouse. He did not have any classes, but since he missed the feeling of being in class. He rushed to the library and started to binge read. The content in his reading list included mathematics, robotics, computer operations, human neurology, metal science, etc.
One book from each subject and this whole thing took him quite a few hours. The boy only came back to the world of the living when he got a call. Fishing out his mobile it turned out to be Frieda Foster.
"Hello, Senior Frieda," he said as soon as he answered the call.
The other side responded, "Hello, Yang Dao, I wanted to ask you if you have some time on your hand? Can we go over the neural schematics one more time?" her voice sounded restless.
Yang Dao raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist. He said, "Yeah, I do have time, but I want to ask you if you are carrying a computer with you?"
Frieda replied in a wry tone, "Well laptops are not powerful enough to handle my project work so I use a desktop but it is in the girl's dormitory. You cannot enter there."
The boy hummed and said, "I have a good system but it is also kept at home. How about we connect after an hour via the internet? I will be able to show you the program code I think is more suitable for this."
The girl replied, "Okay, I will call you in one hour then." and the call was disconnected. Yang Dao was wary of women after the hug in the morning. So cleaning up the table, the boy-wonder walked out of the library. Arrived at the car parking, sat down in his metallic epitome of 'Male Desire 101' (not being a sexist, women also like cars, sometimes. Just did not know what terms to use for it. If you guys have any do share in the comments.)
Quinn glided on the asphalt like a ghost. The boy suddenly saw something out of the window and he came up with an idea. This random thought of his was going to bring a major change in the world as they knew it. The vehicle entered the Sapphire lake residency. Yang Dao parked his car and was about to enter the elevator when he heard a voice from behind.
"Excuse me, Young Master." a tender and sweet voice rang out through the parking lot. yang Dao turned his head and saw that it was Luna, the manager of the community services. She was wearing her daily work uniform as she walked towards him. Her high heels knocked the floor disrupting the silence in the dark place.
Yang Dao asked, "What can I do for you, Madam Luna?" his tone was formal. The two people had some interceptions in the past, yet it has been quite some time since Luna came to him for anything.
Luna spoke with a smile, "Young Master, the weather is changing. I wanted to ask you if you would like to adjust the wind directors outside the building. We tried to reach you on the intercom but found out that you have been outside. Also, congratulations on your new products." She was also formal with him.
Yang Dao nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you. I was outside. As for the wind directors. You can let them be. The natural flow of things is better than man-made." his voice was calm and serene.
Luna nodded to him dumbly because she was ASMR on his voice. The boy asked again, "Anything else, Madam Luna?"
She woke up and shook her head. With that, the boy stepped inside the elevator headed straight to his house. Entering inside with the key card he found the place crystal clean. he sensed someone inside the house. His guess was correct, Lisa came out from the kitchen and bowed to him slightly. She said, "Young Master, Madam asked me to come here and help you with stuff."
The boy shook his head and nodded. he said, "Okay, you can continue doing your job. I will now go to work in the study. Also, after you are done with the chores, you can rest and read if you want to."
Lisa nodded and the boy walked inside the study room. He took out his cell phone and called Frieda, "Hello, senior Frieda."
A clear voice sounded from the other side, "Hello, Yang Dao. Can we work now?"
The boy gave her an affirmative answer as he sat down in front of his PC. He said, "We will use ScreenTeam."
ScreenTeam was a computer software used to connect two computers and then it will allow you to watch the other person's activities on your own screen. This software was used in a lot of offices these days.
The two people swiftly connected the computers and then while they discussed things on the phone. Yang Dao started to type codes simultaneously. On the other side, Frieda was also typing codes. Yang Dao only knew the computer expect of it while Frieda input the parameters according to her research. This thing needed a lot of coordination and deep knowledge of each other as well as the project.
...
The two kept on crunching for a couple of hours before Yang Dao heard some movement inside the study. he turned back and saw Lisa pushing on a trolley. She said, "Young master, it's past the time for dinner. Madam called to check on you. She said, "If you overwork then she will come over and take you back to the Dao courtyard." her voice was sweet but it conveyed Feng Yun's threat completely.
Yang Dao shook his head and said to the person on call, "Senior Frieda, I have to go for dinner. How about we continue tomorrow?"
Frieda immediately became anxious, "Yang Dao, can you not stay for a few more minutes? This is a crucial step. just a few more minutes and it will be completed."
The boy understood why everyone called her, Robotic Frieda. She was someone very restless about her work and eager to complete it. She was a typical workaholic. Yang Dao said, "Senior, your restlessness, will only make your brain work too much. Do you not know the reason behind the mess in your project as it advances? Too much of anything is not good. Even if it is work and dedication. You need to keep moving forward."
His voice was as calm as a gust of wind. It calmed down Frieda, her sigh could be heard on the call. She said, "Yeah, you are right. I am just too paranoid about this thing. I will see you tomorrow." before she could disconnect Yang Dao told her to get some sleep and also try to relax a bit.
The call disconnected and Lisa was already serving the food on the table in front of him. The boy said, "We could eat at the dining table, you know?"
Lisa shook her head and said, "Madam said not to delay anymore. She will call in a few minutes to check again." the girl put on an adamant face. Yang Dao could only eat while sitting in front of the computer. He mumbled, "I wonder how the market responded to the products. Did the people like it?"
He chowed down the food and made a call to Mary. The call connected in just a few seconds and Mary spoke in an exciting tone, "Congratulations, Young master."
Yang Dao asked her, "For what?"
Mary replied, "The company made twenty million in bookings of the cars and five million on mobile shipments. What I am talking about is the earning from the software. Dao Technologies is an independent company in collaboration with King-Comm and Torque Motors. So this is the fifty percent share of the first batch of orders. The orders are placed by not only individuals but some High-class hotels, VIPs, and also Fair-Fare approached us for a collaboration. It is a good day."
(King-Comm is mobile manufacture under the Phoenix group. Torque Motors is a vehicle manufacturer. Fair-Fare is well Uber of Liro{Liro is the planet name})
Yang Dao was happy with the result but he still said, "This is just day one. The more people will be coming to our doorsteps so you keep a clear head. Also, register a subsidiary called, Dao Investments, start investing in electric motor and battery manufacturers."
mary was confused and the two started talking about Yang Dao's vision. It won't be a lie to say that this kid did give Mary a terrible scare. The call was disconnected but soon Yang Dao received another call. It was Feng Yun this time.
"Hello, Dao, Why did you delay your dinner? Are you okay?" she fired as soon as the call connected.
The boy replied, "Well Sister Yun, I was busy coding with a senior. It is my detention punishment to help her in her project. So I lost a sense of time."
Feng Yun sighed, "You need to be careful about your health too. Also, congratulations on the big profit today." her tone started to lif up as she talked to him about his success. This made the boy feel warm in his heart.
He discussed his plan of investment with her and received boundless support. Yang Dao did not want to get stuck at a point, so he decided to move forward in venture capital. This step was going to be a crucial decision for his future development. he did not put all his eggs in one basket. Even in the investment area, he asked Mary to invest in a lot of potential fields such as metal, electricity and also if possible to sponsor and fund some independent research centers.
He aimed to change the world, and it will start when technology and scientific development can keep up the pace.
