My days as a landlord in Gotham

Although many black technologies and supernatural powers cannot be brought back to this plane of Earth, Li Lei's fighting ability honed in the Gotham world is not a display, and the three strong white men are quickly thrown to the ground by Li Lei.

After a "friendly conversation" between the two sides

The strong white man handed over the few dollar bills he had to Li Lei as compensation for the fright he had suffered.

And Li Lei also learned from this conversation that it is now around 2010 in Chicago, USA, and Li Lei is here now because Li Lei happens to work here.

It seems that this trip has changed Li Lei's identity a bit. For example, Li Lei was just a technical nerd, but now Li Lei is a senior investment manager in the Chicago futures exchange market.

Thinking about it, this identity can prevent the family members from getting too much contact with themselves.

It's just that I have returned this time, so what is the next plan?

But Li Lei hesitated for a moment, then smiled and walked towards his work place.

The reason is very simple. Li Lei found that the watch Jazz gave him was still there.

This is not a simple watch, but a small artificial intelligence made by Jazz.

This level of artificial intelligence may not even be regarded as mentally retarded on the planet Cybertron, but for the earth on this plane, it is at least a hundred years ahead.

Since he has such a powerful cheat on his body, why bother to continue messing around in the United States?

Some people say that the new century is the century of the Chinese people. This sentence was not obvious in the 2000s, but it can be clearly felt in the 2010s.

If you don't take advantage of this time to go back to China and catch the high-speed train that China's economy is taking off, then Li Lei's life will really be in vain.

What's more, Chicago is in the so-called economic "rust belt" of the United States.

In fact, although relying on some financial industries to burn better than Detroit, the economic decline of the entire city is still very fast.

Economic downturn means less income for cities, so public spending must also be reduced.

Chicago was originally one of the most famous gangster cities in the United States, and now the economic recession has naturally caused Chicago's safety index to plummet.

Since he will not earn much money in the future and will live in dire straits, why doesn't Li Lei return to China with the money he saved?

"Li, I'm sorry to receive your resignation letter, but I want to know your real reason for leaving."

Julian was still very unhappy to receive the resignation letter from Li Lei, his most capable subordinate.

At this time, the United States has not yet shaken off the damage caused by the subprime mortgage crisis, so the performance of major investment companies is almost horrendous.

Investment managers who can maintain profitability at this time are the treasures of various companies, not to mention promotions and salary increases, even equity incentives are available.

And Li Lei's performance in recent years is impressive, not to mention in Chicago, even in the entire United States.

According to the information Julian received, the world's top investment banks such as Morgan, Citigroup, and UBS are all recruiting Li Lei. Julian does not want Li Lei to go to his opponent.

"Julian, don't worry, I have no plans to join other investment banks."

According to memory, this black executive named Julian treated Li Lei very well.

Not only was Li Lei's mentor when he first entered the industry, but he also protected Li Lei's advancement in this industry where racial discrimination is very serious.

Otherwise, with Li Lei's qualifications, he would have to be at least 40 years old to secure a position as a senior investment manager in a medium-sized investment bank in the United States, and now Li Lei is only under 30 years old.

"My plan is to return to China to start a business, and my entrepreneurial direction will be the development and practical application of artificial intelligence."

Li Lei doesn't mind talking about his entrepreneurial direction. Artificial intelligence is a hot investment direction at this time, so it's normal for Li Lei to have this idea.

"Artificial intelligence is indeed a direction worth investing in."

Although Julian is mainly engaged in futures trading and investment, it does not mean that he is ignorant of the most popular investment directions in the industry.

"But now that the unicorn companies and red herring companies recognized by artificial intelligence are all in Silicon Valley, if you choose to return to China, it means that everything has to start from scratch. This is not an appropriate plan."

"Of course, from the current optimal solution, I should indeed establish or acquire a start-up company in Silicon Valley, and then recruit a group of computer geniuses from Stanford University to work for me.

But I also have to admit that now the top talents in artificial intelligence development are basically divided up by first-tier companies in the industry such as Google and Microsoft; the remaining ones with some potential are also in the talent pool of these first-tier companies.

Julian, without great people, my company might not last for three months. "

Li Lei analyzed, "But China is different. China's technical talents may not be as good as the United States in the field of top talents, but what about middle-level talents?

Julian, you and I both know that it is the top talents who lead an industry, but it is the middle-level talents who support an industry.

Maybe my development of artificial intelligence in China will not be as smooth as that in the United States, but I have a greater chance of surviving.

I remember when I was studying at Harvard Business School, the professor said that the most important goal of a company is to survive. "

After listening to Li Lei's plan, Julian nodded.

"Although the path you have chosen is extremely rough, I have to admit that it is indeed the best path you can take.

So, Lee, I wish you success in your venture!

If your company plans to go public in the U.S. in the future, please remember to contact me. I will definitely find the best team to assist you to go public in the U.S. and become a billionaire! "

After resigning with Julian, the rest is a matter of process.

While waiting for the process, Li Lei took a trip to Las Vegas, Nevada, where the finals of the National Grand Prix were being held.

In addition to participating in the finals, players with points from each sub-station participated, and a wild card registration channel was opened on the spot.

Li Lei played in the wild card game, and with a registration fee of 1000 US dollars, he had the chance to win the championship's 1000 million US dollars in prize money. The excitement of this kind of red fruit naturally made many gamblers and tourists leave the game.

□□Although it is a casino project, strictly speaking, it can be classified as a quiz.

Players who can achieve a higher winning rate in the game are all masters in mathematics and psychology.

With the help of Jazz Watch, Li Lei naturally got the wild card qualification smoothly.

In the following main race, Li Lei was like a godsend, becoming the biggest dark horse of this competition and entering the finals.

And in the final, Li Lei knocked down the former champions and took away the prize money.

Although the Internal Revenue Service soon came to remind Li Lei to pay taxes, Li Lei quickly used the bonus after tax payment to harvest a wave of leeks in the US stock market.

In the end, Li Lei used the 3000 million US dollars in his hands to establish a holding company for Zenuo Technology in Hong Kong.

After returning to China, Li Lei first bought two houses in the provincial capital. One is a high-rise park near the Hi-Tech Park, a large apartment with three bedrooms and two living rooms. A detached villa next to a forest park in the city center.

This villa was purchased for Li Lei's parents. Apart from the quiet design, the most important thing is that it is next to one of the best hospitals in China.

Li Lei's grandparents and maternal grandparents are both over sixty years old, so they inevitably suffer from senile diseases; and Li Lei's parents also used to work in the mining area, so they also have some occupational diseases.

Therefore, this villa is convenient for the elders to seek medical treatment, and it is also convenient for parents to recuperate here.

Originally, Li Lei's parents were not happy about Li Lei's purchase of two houses in the provincial capital, and they even did not agree to live in the provincial capital.

Fortunately, Li Lei moved out of his aunt's family, who also bought a house in the provincial capital, and there are subways nearby, and it only takes half an hour to take the subway.

So Li Lei's parents moved to the provincial capital anyway.

"A high-tech company with a registered capital of 3000 million US dollars intends to establish a technology company in our park to research artificial intelligence?"

The person in charge of the high-tech park looked at the report submitted by the secretary, and asked in disbelief.

Jiangnan Province is located in the mainland of China. Although it is not as poor as the Northwest and Southwest regions, it is definitely not as developed as the north, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and coastal cities.

Even if I am ashamed to say something, I can't even compare to the next-door province across the river.

"Although this Hong Kong-funded company is also newly established, there is no problem with their funds. There is also a guarantee issued by American Express Bank."

When the secretary got this information, he also thought it was a fraudulent group, but after checking the guarantee letter from American Express Bank, he was not calm.

Regardless of whether the other party has real technology or not, this amount of investment alone is enough to scare him.

Although Huaxia is not as urgent as it was 20 years ago to introduce foreign capital, an investment of tens of millions of dollars is still very attractive to an inland province.

That's why the secretary submitted the application as soon as possible after checking the authenticity.

"You get in touch with this company and see how much real material they have in their hands."

The person in charge still suppressed the excitement in his heart.

Since it is a high-tech park, of course there are many supporting policies from the state, but he hopes that these policies will fall on those powerful domestic enterprises.

We must know that many people who play capital games now hope to use national policies to empty their hands, but it turns out that national policies have not helped the companies that should be helped. This is a very pity.

"The main business of our company is still the application of artificial intelligence."

Since Li Lei intends to do this, he naturally has a certain understanding.

"In addition to producing some home-use auxiliary robots, we can also customize artificial intelligence systems according to the needs of other customers, such as artificial intelligence systems for vehicles.

In addition, we also operate some algorithms and architecture cooperation businesses. "

The secretary also half understood, but he could roughly guess the size of Li Lei's company.

First of all, this company should have some real skills, otherwise it would not say what our company's main product is when it comes up; secondly, this company has not yet been fully finalized, so Li Lei's company still has some other random businesses , it seems to be used to prevent the company's main business from making insufficient profits.

But basically, a high-tech company of this size and capability is hard to come by in Jiangnan Province.

Now the country is encouraging all provinces to develop high-tech industries, but it has to be said that coastal cities still rely on high salaries to absorb most of the outstanding talents; the remaining ones that can compete with coastal cities are not old industrial cities or Some families are in cities where universities are concentrated, no matter how much they are searched for, there will always be a few leftovers left in the local area.

But Jiangnan Province is neither a coastal province nor an old industrial base; although there are a few universities, it is basically the tail end of the middle class in the whole country.

The secretary thought about it, in fact, this Zhenuo Technology Co., Ltd. is already considered pretty good, and it deserves to be recruited by the high-tech park with the most favorable terms.

"Are you going to rent this building?"

The secretary said in disbelief.

The high-tech park is actually an incubator for start-ups. Basically, it is equipped with one company on the first floor, and two smaller companies can share the first floor.

"In fact, our company has a lot of content that needs to be kept secret, so it is safer to have a separate building."

Li Lei found out that the building here is only a four-story building. If you rent it on preferential terms, you can rent it for three years without much problem.

"And having a separate building means I have the basement to myself.

I plan to build a high-configuration supercomputer room in the basement. "

"Are you going to configure a supercomputer?"

The secretary felt that his brain was not enough.

Although supercomputers are no longer exclusive to the country, the companies that can afford them are at least at the level of Microsoft and Google, right?
