Super God-Level Top Student

If it really is an AI-generated fake video, it probably wouldn't have caused such a stir.

After all, everyone is quite busy, and if there's nothing particularly important, no one would specially make a trip. With technology being advanced enough, if it's not for show, a remote video would solve all problems.

Having formed his own judgment, Satya Nadella went to the study, opened his computer, and logged directly into Teams.

If the one contacting him is really artificial intelligence, it should be online at all times, right?

So after logging in, he found the email added just today and said: "Hello."

Sure enough, the other side responded quickly, sending him a large animated smiley face.

"Proactively contacting me indicates you surely believe we have the capability to facilitate collaboration. Rest assured, our Xilin Mathematics Research Institute is a unique research unit in the world. Backed by the currently most powerful country on this planet, as long as the collaboration benefits both parties, there is no need to worry about any interference.

Take a look at our drafted contract. If there are any issues you can raise them, I can explain in detail why the clauses are drafted this way. Really, you won't find a more thoughtful collaborator than me worldwide. We will fully consider both parties' opinions and ensure smooth implementation of the contract clauses.

I'm not bragging, but when it comes to discussing my execution power, even my unsmiling old dad gives a thumbs up."

The execution power is indeed strong.

At least from Satya Nadella's perspective, the communication about collaboration hasn't even begun, yet the other party has already prepared a contract.

Though it feels a bit absurd, he decided to first take a look at the terms in the contract. Clicking on the file sent by the other party, the contract's terms aren't many, but it spans more than thirty pages.

The average person probably doesn't have the patience to go through this, but for the president of an international tech giant, every important contract needs to be reviewed. There are often experts from legal, business, and other departments explaining alongside, so naturally, studying the contract isn't seen as a waste of time.

He actually examined it quite thoroughly, especially the first few pages, though he skimmed the latter ones faster, but still spent over an hour flipping through these thirty-plus pages.

His expression remained calm, but if someone familiar with Satya Nadella were in the study, they would surely sense that this Microsoft leader was not in a good mood, perhaps even angry.

Talking about collaboration, but in all his years, Satya Nadella really hadn't seen such a contract that disregards the second party. Moreover, the target is Microsoft.

For instance: The first party has the right to access and audit all data processing and storage systems concerning the collaboration content from the second party at any time, and the second party shall bear all related expenses incurred during the first party's visit.

And also: Given that all developed technology, algorithms, codes, and related products in the contract are set by the first party's standards and guidance, all related content is unconditionally owned by the first party. The second party must obtain written authorization from the first party to use these technologies, algorithms, codes, or other related products in future projects.

...

Honestly, after reading it, Satya Nadella couldn't figure out for a moment if this was specially made to humiliate him, treating Microsoft like what?!
