With such stringent conditions, the benefits that it brought about were also huge.

On the Resource Chamber of Commerce meeting, as long as the companies and corporations were ranked towards the top, they would have an absolute say in their respective industries, and at the same time, they could gain the support from various conglomerates, making it much easier to talk about collaboration.

Due to the extremely rapid development of society during recent years, in the meeting this time, there were more than twenty new outer circle influential personages participating. The influential personages from the inner circle engaged in internal strife, those from the inner circle feared to drop out, while those from the outside wanted in as well. It was full of undercurrent tensions, and they each had their own domains.

And today, in the big conference room on the center of the 88th floor of this door to heaven, a small conference was currently being held. Only members of the fifty companies in the inner circle were qualified to attend this small conference. As a result, it was split into a few small groups. Of course, there was many who didn’t really like one another between them. Thus, though it was a small conference, it was still very tense.

In this big conference room, the conference tables had already been moved away, with a total of five premium old-fashioned wooden armchairs made of rosewood which were placed together at the eastern direction at the head position of the room. There were four empty chairs, and a middle-aged man of about fifty-years sat on the second armchair to the left. He was dressed in a top-grade specially tailored suit and wore a dark blue necktie. Everyone present knew that this person was exactly one of the five big magnates in the Resource Chamber of Commerce, the CEO of Tianling Electronics Company, Sun Yuanzhou!

This Sun Yuanzhou appeared very angry, as he stretched out his hand and slapped the arm of his chair hard, berating, “Where’s Hong Weiguo? He hasn’t arrived?!” He said this extremely loudly, as if lightning struck mid-air.

All the members of the inner circle in the conference room shuddered in fear.

The CEO of Tianling Electronics, Sun Yuanzhou, could be said to have gained control over close to 40% of the electronic products manufacturing in Heavenly State. Among the ten big household electrical appliance brands in the entire Heavenly State, six of them were subsidiary companies under Tianling. Its power was huge beyond imagination, and its total assets were worth 60 billion. With just a stomp of his foot, the household electrical appliance market in Heavenly State would shake!

A person below whispered, “I wonder what has made CEO Sun so angry. Hong Weiguo hasn’t provoked him recently, right?”

Another person said, “The business world is like a battleground. Who knows whether he stepped out of line and angered CEO Sun.”

A third person said, “Haha, though Hong Weiguo is so influential on the internet, towards CEO Sun, he still needs to be more careful. This time, there will be a fun show to watch.”

The previous person said, “Old Qian, you’re still so against the Hong Family, aren’t you afraid that Hong Weiguo will find trouble with you for saying that.”

The person called Old Qian said, “Other people are scared of Hong Weiguo, but I’m not. Honestly, in this commerce meeting, I’m ranked before him. What can he do to me, we can just wait to see the good show!”

Just then, Mu Tie, who had just arrived, cautiously asked, “CEO Sun, may I know how Weiguo has offended you?”

Mu Tie, Hong Weiguo, and Liu Yihui were splitting the internet cake. At this crucial moment, he naturally had to speak up for Hong Weiguo.

“His Hong Dali plays around with whatever he sees. These few days, there have already been quite a number of members from the outer circle complaining to me about it.” Sun Yuanzhou looked greatly displeased. “Making me annoyed and troubled.”

As expected, it was because of Hong Dali.

Mu Tie smiled bitterly. Looks like the reason was very simple. Hong Dali was involved in too many businesses, and every one of them earned lots of money. This would have already affected the interests of other people. Thus, it was inevitable that they would complain about it to Sun Yuanzhou.

But, that wasn’t right. Hong Dali had only dealt with petty things worth millions or tens of millions. Even for the most lucrative housing properties, he’d already sold them out, and there hadn’t been any magnates in the online novel website industry. Thus, it wasn’t relevant that he had crossed the line. But why was this Sun Yuanzhou paying so much attention to Hong Dali?

Even if some film companies sent people to complain and beg for his help, the problem was that with Sun Yuanzhou’s ability, would he care about them?

Alas, just as Mu Tie was thinking up to this point, a rich tenor voice sounded from the main entrance. “What has my Dali done? CEO Sun, why are you so angry?”

It was exactly Hong Weiguo who had arrived!

Upon hearing Hong Weiguo’s words, Sun Yuanzhou slightly squinted his eyes and humphed as he said, “Hong Weiguo, isn’t your Dali involving himself in too many things? He deals with everything he sees, and it just had to be that he’s very lucky and those things that he starts up are all very lucrative, right?”

“Ah, yes.” Hong Weiguo felt strange and asked, “That child Dali likes to squander. Actually, I’ve also wanted to deal with it, but the problem is that my Dali’s health has not been very good previously. CEO Sun, you naturally know about it as well. During this period of time, he squanders every day. Perhaps his mood is not bad, so his health is better now. I don’t have a choice, so I can only turn a blind eye to it.”

You’re turning a blind eye? You’re completely supporting him, aren’t you?

Sun Yuanzhou angrily said, “In this case, you’re saying that you won’t care about it?”

“I can’t care about it.” Hong Weiguo shrugged. “Between offending others and ensuring that Dali lives, I’ll definitely choose the latter without a second thought!”

“Humph! Your Dali’s luck won’t always be that good, will it?” Sun Yuanzhou coldly laughed. “I heard that this time, that so-called Dream Dota League that your Dali has started up isn’t too much popular. This time, Flying Dragon Network has been nominated to be a member of the outer circle group because of their Spiritual Sword. I wonder what are your opinions towards it?”

Once Sun Yuanzhou said this, those below started to engage in discussions again. “I’ve heard about this matter. It’s said that Dream Dota League has been greatly struck.” “Yes yes, Spiritual Sword has 1.7 million people online, while Dream Dota League only has 100,000. It’s a wide gap.” “This time, Hong Dali’s legend will probably be broken. How would it be so easy to earn money in whatever he does?”

Hearing the discussions around, Hong Weiguo directly ignored them, as he stared at Sun Yuanzhou and waged a tit for tat with him. “CEO Sun, you needn’t be worried about that. It’s fine as long as he likes it. As for whether it earns or loses money, anyway, not much money has been spent on this game; just so-so. I can still afford it. But CEO Sun, a member of the outer circle, and it has just gotten the nomination, I feel that this isn’t such a big issue to the extent that CEO Sun has to be troubled to come and confront me about it, right?”

“I’m only warning you not to step over the line.” Sun Yuanzhou insipidly said, “You can’t just do anything you want to.”

“Alright.” Hong Weiguo nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders. “Since CEO Sun has said so… I’m still unable to control him.”

Sun Yuanzhou asked, “You’re not scared?”

Hong Weiguo felt strange and asked, “Why do I need to be scared?”

“Haha! OK.” Sun Yuanzhou squinted his eyes and slowly said, “Hope you don’t regret it!”

“For my son’s sake,” Hong Weiguo totally didn’t give in. “I never regret!”

…

After the end of the meeting.

The 90th floor of Jinghao Building, in the private resting room.

“Weiguo, Sun Yuanzhou actually interfered into your Dali’s matters; this is very abnormal.” Mu Tie and Liu Yihui rested in the room with Hong Weiguo. Mu Tie frowned and said, “With Sun Yuanzhou’s ability and status, your Dali’s matters are totally child’s play, and it doesn’t seem like he’d need to pick on him on this no matter how I look at it. Had it been the members of the outer circle coming to find you to complain about it, it’d still be reasonable.”

“Heh heh, how would I not know what he’s planning to do.” Hong Weiguo was totally unconcerned. “After the previous battle of the century, Ko Gohon dejectedly returned to his country. Of course Toyoda Conglomerate would not be able to take this lying down. They’re just playing the trick of getting people to join their side and oppress us. I’ve heard that in the future, Toyoda cars will be sold along with the electrical appliances from the companies under Sun Yuanzhou; there will be many benefits.”

“There’s such a thing? I haven’t heard of this.” Liu Yihui touched his chin. “But that would make sense. Sun Yuanzhou is planning to take you down a notch. With his status as one of the five big magnates, it’s very easy for him to make that group of people jump on the bandwagon and isolate you.”

“So,” Hong Weiguo grinned. “There’s nothing much to say between me and him, we’ll just deal with him with all our might!”

…

The morning of the next day, Chenhui Building, laboratory on the fourth floor.

“Wahahahahaha! It’s completed!” Hong Dali had seven to eight mechanical arms hung all over his body, connected with countless wires. Currently, he was like an octopus. And the scariest thing was, the mechanical arms on him could all move by themselves!

“It’s finally completed. It was not easy!” Hong Dali collapsed on the sofa and let out a long breath. “The neural connection is finally done, hahaha! Our Little Meow can start its transformation!”

During this period of time, Hong Dali had been busy with the development of the neural connection technology. After such a long time of research, he’d spent more than 30 million to finally complete this technology—alright, Lin Chuyin was the one who did the actual technology, and Hong Dali was mainly responsible for being the experimental body…

Nevertheless, it all came down to one word—success!

Now, Hong Dali could already do things he wanted to do through controlling these mechanical arms using his mind. The simplest thing, for instance, taking a fruit, was definitely not a problem. Of course, there was still some difficulty regarding too complex operations—for instance, turning the pen around his fingers…

He decisively took out his smartphone and called Tang Muxin. “Xinxin, I’m done with things here! Where are you? Quickly bring Little Meow over here, we’ll prepare for the operation right away. I’ve already found the doctors to carry out the operation, I’m just waiting for you!”

“Really? OK! I’ll be there right away!” This could be said to be the only good news in these few days. Tang Muxin exclaimed in surprise and brought Ling Xiaoyi, Liu Mingxin, lackey Li Yang and the rest as they instantly got into the car and set off.

The surgery was very quick and very successful.

Looking at how Little Meow was lying on the bed and breathing stably, Hong Dali and the rest let out a long breath. It was finally done. Now they just needed to see whether Little Meow had a good recovery. As long as it didn’t have any problem, then, probably very soon, this technology could be announced to the public.

After things were settled here, Tang Muxin stood beside Hong Dali and, like a little child who had made a mistake, said in a soft voice, “Dali, I’ve messed up things at the gaming side. I… I’m still inexperienced. The number of people at the open beta testing is just 100,000 people or so…”

“How many? 100,000?!” Unexpectedly, Hong Dali opened his eyes wide upon hearing this number. “So many?! I thought that it would already be fine if there were 10,000 or 20,000, but there’s actually 100,000?! So powerful?!”

Tang Muxin: “Aye? 100,000 is already a lot?”

Hong Dali: “Of course it’s a lot! Anyway, I’d initially made this game to play by myself because I was bored. But there are actually 100,000 people playing it?”

Tang Muxin was very despondent. “But Spiritual Sword, the number of people online for Spiritual Sword has already reached 1.8 million…”

“How does that concern me?” Hong Dali did a long stretch, then laughed loudly and said, “To celebrate, lackey, tonight let’s go to the West Fourth Loop Stadium to play the game! We’ll give it a try and see what it’s like. And it just happens that I’ve developed brand new equipment again, we can set them up in the day!”
