"Kid, did you really do it?"
Unsurprisingly, Lin the Elder called shortly after the incident.
"Does it matter who did it?" Su Yi retorted:
"Anyway, it was the White-Headed Eagle's people who died, so let's just pop the champagne and celebrate."
"This..." Old Lin hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but say:
"Kid, I won't hide it from you. Ever since the Zheng family incident, people above have been keeping an eye on you because of it. It's best to do less of these kinds of things. Many times, killing people only intensifies problems and doesn't solve them."
Regarding Su Yi killing someone from tens of thousands of miles away, Old Lin didn't find it too surprising, though he did think it was outrageous.
After all, when the Zheng family was exterminated before, family members across the ocean died suddenly for various reasons.
Later, the Tao family in the Demon City was even more terrifying.
Although they haven't died yet, family members have been contracting various strange diseases one after another in the past month.
On the contrary, Tao Weimin in prison is doing fine, but every time something happens to a member of the Tao family, people from Tianyu Group will specifically go to inform him of the news.
With so many factors combined, if the Kyushu officials couldn't guess that Su Yi had a way to kill people invisibly and silently from thousands of miles away, then they would be fools.
But there's no evidence of this kind of thing, so what can they do to Su Yi even if they guess it?
Moreover, Tianyu Group has already grown large, and Su Yi seems to be on the official side.
No matter what, they have no reason to move against Su Yi.
Those knowing big shots can only tell their respective family members to keep their eyes open when they go out and not to provoke this living terror.
"It doesn't solve the problem, but it makes me feel good," Su Yi replied.
This was also considered not pretending, admitting that he killed the Black Palace spokesperson.
Since people had already guessed it, there was no need to deny it.
Anyway, the Kyushu officials couldn't possibly have any evidence.
A few words couldn't be considered evidence.
"You kid..." Old Lin could only change the subject helplessly:
"Regarding the carbon-based chip issue, are you really planning to directly launch it on the market?"
"Yes, the sales include mobile phone chips, computer CPUs, graphics cards, and so on."
"As far as I know, things like graphics cards and CPUs need to be adapted, right? Have you done the adaptation well before launching them on the market?"
"You're so old, I didn't expect you to understand quite a bit," Su Yi said in surprise:
"Basically, it's all been handled. As for those meticulous adaptation issues, you don't need to ask how they were handled, because I won't tell you even if you ask."
"Is there anything else?"
"I heard that you signed an agreement with the European Union to lease an island in the Indian Ocean to you for 99 years?" Old Lin mentioned another matter.
Su Yi couldn't help but sigh at their well-informedness upon hearing this.
Although the island had already been transferred privately, and people from Tianyu Group were already on the island, it hadn't been made public.
It was impossible for people from Tianyu Group to leak the news. The signals on that island were now being monitored by Tian Shu, and everyone going on and off the island was being closely watched.
Therefore, the official news could only have come from the European Union.
This meant that there were definitely people from the Kyushu officials in the upper echelons over there.
"It's true," Su Yi admitted generously:
"A few bottles of Water of Life were exchanged for it. Why not?"
"I plan to move some of the more dangerous experiments and projects to that island in the future."
"Aren't you afraid that they will go back on their word? Those Westerners don't care about face for the sake of profit," Old Lin advised:
"You can buy it and use it as a resort, but putting key technology there will definitely cause big problems in the future."
"Your transaction with those European Union parliamentarians isn't formal. The island will be very controversial in the future. Even if those Western countries want to forcibly seize the island at that time, they will have a reason to do so."
"If you really have any dangerous experiments and projects, you can tell me. There are plenty of uninhabited areas in the country for you to build in. There's really no need to run so far."
"In Kyushu, you can point your finger at the White-Headed Eagle's nose and scold them, and they can only rage ineffectually and scold you back. But if you go out, you will have to face their fleet."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Su Yi certainly knew what Old Lin meant, and after thinking about it, he added:
"I have a big use for this island in the future, and since it's already in my hands, whether or not they get it back will be up to me. The lease is for 99 years, and I actually find it annoying. If they dare to tear up the agreement, I'll just remove the word 'lease'."
"..."
After a conversation, Old Lin didn't know what to say, and in the end, he could only hang up the phone helplessly.
Although he didn't know where Su Yi got the confidence to say such things, for some reason, he inexplicably felt that Su Yi might really be able to do it.
As for where this feeling came from, it was unclear.
Perhaps it was the confidence that Tianyu Group had brought him by producing two era-defining products in less than a month.
Or perhaps it stemmed from Su Yi's bizarre methods of killing people invisibly?
Maybe, but he felt in his heart that if those Westerners really planned to tear up the agreement and steal Su Yi's things, they would probably be in big trouble.
After hanging up the phone with Su Yi, Old Lin used special video equipment to dial another number.
As soon as the call connected, he entered a video conference room.
In the other lenses were all well-known old men throughout Kyushu.
"Old Lin, what did that kid say?"
"According to the results of the Academy of Sciences' connection with Tianyu Group, we can currently confirm that Tianyu Group has mastered a very mature carbon-based chip function, which can completely replace all silicon-based chips currently on the market for commercial use."
Old Lin took the lead in answering questions about commercial matters.
Hearing this, one of the old men nodded and said:
"It seems that the semiconductor industry can be reshuffled. Many of our previous layouts have been invalidated. Let the relevant departments re-formulate a charter based on carbon-based chips."
"Wouldn't this be too risky?" someone raised an objection:
"If we fully accept carbon-based chip technology, all our previous layouts on silicon-based chips will be invalidated, resulting in losses of trillions. If this carbon-based chip technology is in the hands of official enterprises, then of course we can do this, but it is in the hands of Tianyu Group, a private enterprise, and there are too many uncertainties."
"So what? New technology has already emerged. Are we still going to continue investing in technology that is about to be eliminated and let the domestic semiconductor industry die with that silicon-based chip?"
"That's not how you say it. What I mean is..."
"Alright!" While the debate was still ongoing, the old man in the middle suddenly made a decision:
"Give up silicon-based chips and fully switch to carbon-based chips. As for the technical issues... Find some time to have a good talk with that young man. Snatching someone else's technology is definitely not okay, but signing an agreement is still necessary."
