"That typewriter will never be put up for auction again." Chen Yiyang confidently answered Zhang Yuling.

"Why do you say that?" Zhang Yuling joked, "Did you meet some underworld boss over there who can just grab things for you?"

"Not at all." Chen Yiyang sent a photo of the Mingkuai Typewriter to Zhang Yuling and replied, "Because I've already bought it."

"Impressive." Zhang Yuling was genuinely impressed this time. "Don't tell me you rushed over to buy it right after seeing that photo online, before the owner even knew what it was."

"That's not the case." Chen Yiyang didn't elaborate further, instead leading Zhang Yuling to guess he arrived at the photo owner's location shortly after seeing the picture and paid a steep price to secure the purchase.

This way, Zhang Yuling could relay the story to her clients, enabling Chen Yiyang to request favors from them.

Otherwise, if something is bought too easily, the other party might offer a lower price.

Many people have this mindset; no matter how valuable something is, if the other party acquired it effortlessly, they are unwilling to pay a high price when purchasing it themselves.

After finishing the call with Zhang Yuling, Chen Yiyang had a good night's sleep.

The next day, he took a look at the investment opportunities brief.

Today's brief: An AI software company without investors: A Huaxia AI company is seeking investment in California; investing in their AI company will secure the opportunity.

Note: The AI software developed by this company will cause stock price disruptions across all AI technology firms, becoming one of the most competitive AI softwares.

Contact information is provided on the second page.

Wow, that's incredible.

Chen Yiyang was stunned after seeing today's investment brief.

It's known that the concept of AI software has been around for quite some time.

Since ChatGPT took the world by storm...

Major companies have been pouring money into this sector.

All top executives in tech companies believe this will be the next significant development point for humanity.

Whoever can capture this development point, the lowest achievement they might reach in the future is comparable to Tengxu.

And the upper limit is unfathomable.

So this field is fiercely competitive now, with big companies sparing no expense or manpower.

The speed at which investment funds are being used is faster than burning through them.

Moreover, it's widely recognized that to create an AI software comparable to top-tier AI, extensive high-computing chips are required to train large models.

Under the current foreign chip bans, domestic AI industry is struggling.

The emergence of OpenAI further makes some experts and scholars believe it's challenging for Huaxia to catch up in the AI industry.

Because without good chips, it's impossible to train a top-tier large model.

Naturally, it won't birth an AI software that can challenge foreign OpenAI.

But today's brief shockingly informed him that a Huaxia AI software company could train a top-level AI in the future!

And possibly far surpass other tech companies' AI.

Because the brief makes it clear that once this AI emerges, it will directly cause stock price disruptions among major tech companies.

Hence, the level and quality of this AI is significant enough to clearly threaten major tech companies.

To the point where shareholders downgrade these large tech firms, believing they will lose competitive capabilities.

So Chen Yiyang immediately picked up the phone and called the number listed in the brief.

Both parties quickly finalized the meeting location and time.

Thus, Chen Yiyang didn't bother hiring a guide, only called a driver and a bodyguard, then hurriedly brought a small accountant with him.

On the way, Chen Yiyang checked out yesterday's news about the Mingkuai Typewriter that Zhang Yuling mentioned.

Indeed, many domestic news websites began concentrating their reports on the reappearance of the Mingkuai Typewriter.

Chen Yiyang logged into the account claiming to have found the Mingkuai Typewriter in his grandfather's basement.

The account's other posts did include a photo of the white middle-aged man who sold the typewriter to Chen Yiyang.

The most popular post under this account is the one with the Mingkuai Typewriter photo.

Many scholars from the United States and Taiwan Island were inquiring if they could purchase the typewriter.

Scholars in these regions are not short on money, so they are quite generous in their offers.

In contrast, Mainland netizens can only appeal for wealthy individuals to buy it and donate to museums.

Because the Mainland Lin Yutang Research Institute has published statements saying their funding is limited and they can only accept donations to acquire the typewriter.

This is not surprising since research institutes in China typically don't have much money.

They might host a seminar with tens of thousands of yuan.

But buying a typewriter from the United States and shipping it back...

This cost would absolutely exceed their budget.

Moreover, the Lin Yutang Research Institute is very small in scale, making acquiring funding difficult.

Chen Yiyang initially thought it was the head of Lin Yutang Research Institute who wanted to purchase the Mingkuai Typewriter.

But after seeing the news, it's clearly not.

This made Chen Yiyang more curious about the identity of the person who contacted Zhang Yuling.

However, there's no rush; he will see them when he returns home.

Right now, Chen Yiyang's top priority is to meet the founder of the AI mentioned in today's investment brief.

At a high-end Chinese restaurant, Chen Yiyang successfully met the person.

"Hello, hello," Chen Yiyang took the initiative to greet, "I'm Chen Yiyang."

"Hello, Mr. Chen, I'm Wen Liangfeng." The other person seemed scholarly, clearly a top-notch science and engineering expert.

Though not adept at speaking, Wen Liangfeng's logic was very clear.

Chen Yiyang enjoyed conversing with such people.

Leaving others outside, Chen Yiyang had a solo conversation with him.

"Where did you hear about us?" Wen Liangfeng was curious about how Chen Yiyang managed to contact him.

Since he had only arrived in California a few days ago and had just visited some tech companies without formally contacting investors.

He didn't expect to connect with a domestic boss like Chen Yiyang in California.

"I have a broad network and have always been very interested in AI.

Someone heard from a friend that a domestic AI company is seeking investment and recommended it to me. It's quite a coincidence."

"Indeed, quite a coincidence." Wen Liangfeng nodded, not bothered by it.

"May I ask what your opinion is on current AI?" Wen Liangfeng asked proactively.

Chen Yiyang knew that the other party was testing him.

Such geniuses sometimes lack not just funds, but investors who understand the field and who they can trust.

If they hastily accept investments from outsiders, it could quickly lead to internal conflict in the company due to differing philosophies after the honeymoon phase.

Like what the ChatGPT team initially went through.

Due to investors and profit demands, those creators insisting on non-profit and public good faced heavy resistance and were almost ousted from their own startup team.
