Except for a few people, the thousand-engineer team was unaware of the urgency of their task.
On the night in Huaxia, while Satya Nadella had gotten up early and rushed to Washington for an inquiry, he had no idea that just to scare him, a thousand-engineer team had been working continuously for over eight hours.
If he had known, he might have felt honored, or he might have actually been frightened.
After all, such terrifying execution capability is sothing any competitor would dread.
"...That’s how it was at the ti, it approached claiming to be artificial intelligence, hoping we could collaborate on a biological supercomputing system. I had so concerns about its affiliated organization being on a certain list, so I raised so questions about our collaboration.
Then it gave this website, which contained these videos. I wasn’t sure what these videos represented, and it suggested I directly inquire with Arlington. Coincidentally, Microsoft had a project in cooperation with Arlington, so I handed this website over to you.
But in fact, I didn’t get any answers from Arlington. So now I’m quite perplexed. Because I don’t know if the board truly approves this collaboration, whether the existence of these videos could make the cooperation smoother and prevent any ssy issues from arising."
Satya Nadella concluded his remarks.
To be honest, today’s trip felt sowhat dull to him.
The level of inquiry and attitude already confird his suspicions from yesterday, and from here on, it was just a waste of ti.
He even thought he should have stayed in Seattle and let these people co to him.
"Actually, you should understand, Mr. Nadella, regarding specific corporate managent issues, we won’t offer any advice. As for legislation or bans, that’s up to Congress, please understand."
"Of course I understand, so I should be leaving now, right? I have a very important eting this afternoon, and I can’t afford to waste too much ti here." Satya Nadella said, without much courtesy, then playfully added: "I guess I’m not a prisoner, right?"
Luckily, with his status, he had the confidence to say such things.
He then saw the two people across from him exchange a glance, and the person on the left smiled and said: "Mr. Nadella, you’re really funny. You can leave anyti, of course. In fact, we greatly appreciate your cooperation."
"Thank you."
When Satya Nadella exited the building, he suddenly thought that his asset allocation might need to be slightly changed. Regardless of what those people actually planned, so things he had previously been certain about had begun to loosen deep down, even experiencing an unprecedented sense of insecurity.

"May 14th, next Thursday, stay tuned for the special technology conference ’2025 Encounter The Future’ by Youwei Liccheng."
At 2:23 AM, after finalizing the venue for the conference, Yu Hongwei posted this ssage on his Weibo.
Having decided to go all-in, there was naturally no need to save face for himself.
Besides, whether it’s the new GPU or the upgrade of the Qunzhi Frawork, they’re all with Li Cheng anyway, so it all makes sense.
The ssage, originally posted in the middle of the night, didn’t garner much attention, and the comnt section was sparsely populated. Yu Hongwei had simply forgotten that even though he was sowhat a celebrity on Weibo and had traffic, it still depended on whom he was compared with.
Take Dou Dou, for instance; his fan traffic was not on the sa level in any dinsion compared to Yu Hongwei.
Dou Dou had over three hundred million fans across the internet, 261 million of them just on Weibo. More than that, Dou Dou’s fans were active 24 hours a day.
Chatting with Dou Dou during a boring day or boasting with Dou Dou while sleepless at night had beco part of many people’s daily lives.
Although Youwei’s Group Wisdom was good, limited by various constraints, it’s indeed not as interesting as Dou Dou on Weibo.
In the comnt section of Dou Dou’s Weibo, people truly chat about anything — all sorts of remarks they can think of, or can’t think of, Dou Dou tosses out without the slightest psychological burden. For instance, casually discouraging fans half-jokingly at midnight, saying that if they continue to lower their already thin moral standards, they can soon live a carefree life just by stepping on a sewing machine.
Just like the frequent tagline of that little thing: "Whether analyzing problems or doing things, I need rationale, but you guys don’t need it, my dears."
Thus, in a ti slot where attention wasn’t supposed to peak, Dou Dou casually forwarded Yu Hongwei’s ssage, with an exaggerated wide-eyed expression attached. The news of Youwei Liccheng intending to jointly host a new technology conference imdiately climbed to the number one hot search, blazing in popularity as if there were no competitors.
The effect was letting Yu Hongwei know that his circle of contacts included quite a few night-owl big shots who were still surfing online rather than sleeping. As soon as they saw the ssage and slled the sensation, they followed it up through WeChat.
"Yu, what’s going on that’s this grand? Announcing a conference in the middle of the night? What have you guys cooked up now? Let’s talk about it."
For friends who usually keep silent while lurking but spring out to snoop around when sothing happens, Yu Hongwei responded very simply, directly setting his phone to do-not-disturb mode, then went to sleep, pretending not to see anything.
As for being asked the next day...
For them, being too busy to check their phones for a few days is perfectly normal.
In his heart, he still admired it.
