Wei Tiansheng reveals to his son that Li Zixia was kidnapped by the Earth Wolf Gang and was rescued by Lin Fan. Lin Fan dismantled the syndicate to obtain a list of VIP clients, which Li Zixia then leaked to the media, causing a global scandal. It is discovered that Li Zixia is a deep web hacker who was targeted for her groundbreaking AI technology, valued at 10 billion Euros. Lin Fan's pursuit of Li Zixia and her technology, not the Jinyu Group, is revealed to be his true motive.

Seeing Wei Tiansheng's expression, Wei Jiansheng thought he had misspoken, blushed in panic, and explained, "Father, I was speaking nonsense. I don't understand this area. I've just been cramming knowledge about the Metaverse recently. Just now when talking about artificial intelligence, I just remembered that there is a technology in the Metaverse, which is artificial intelligence technology."

The Metaverse requires support from six major technologies, including blockchain technology, interaction technology, video game technology, artificial intelligence technology, network and computing technology, and Internet of Things technology!

"I wonder if my guess is correct..." Wei Jiansheng said cautiously, secretly observing Wei Tiansheng's expression.

Wei Tiansheng frowned: "The Golden Jade Group itself is a computer Technology Company, possessing basic technology required by the Metaverse, such as network and computing technology. This is already Golden Jade's specialty... Now combined with Li Zixia's artificial intelligence technology... My God!"

Wei Tiansheng's face turned pale, raising his head: "Lin Fan wants to venture into the Metaverse!"

He finally drew this conclusion!

Wei Jiansheng breathed a sigh of relief, seemed he wouldn't get scolded this time, his thoughts aligned with Wei Tiansheng.

However, he didn't have time to be happy.

Wei Tiansheng suddenly stood up and said: "If Lin Fan is really venturing into the Metaverse, then he is our biggest enemy. No, I need to contact President Zhou immediately; you should start preparing the press conference now!"

Wei Jiansheng was taken aback: "Press conference? Isn't it tomorrow?"

Wei Tiansheng said: "We can't wait, we must release it today!"

Wei Jiansheng said: "Why, why?"

Wei Tiansheng said: "We want to venture into the Metaverse, and Lin Fan wants to venture into the Metaverse too. Lin Fan possesses Li Zixia's artificial intelligence technology, which is worth 1 billion Euros. His technological advantage is greater than ours. We need to catch up in other areas. At the very least, we should be the first to announce the project, to be the first to eat the crab. This is called taking the lead and we must not let Lin Fan take it!"

Wei Jiansheng quickly nodded: "Understood, Father, I'll arrange it right away!"

Having guessed that Lin Fan is venturing into the Metaverse too, and possessing artificial intelligence technology, Wei Tiansheng decided to move the press conference, initially scheduled for tomorrow, to today.

Although the fortune-teller said tomorrow was auspicious, Wei Tiansheng couldn't care about that right now, he just wanted to take the lead.

As the first company in Huaxia to announce a Metaverse project, other companies venturing into the Metaverse in the future will follow Wangu's lead. When discussing Huaxia's Metaverse firms, Wangu will be the first to be mentioned; this is the benefit of being the leader.

Of course, to ultimately gain a foothold, real ability is needed.

Wei Tiansheng believes Black Iron Technology is also quite formidable, although without the 1 billion Euro worth artificial intelligence technology, Black Iron Technology's various technologies are at the forefront in Huaxia, boasting strong comprehensive strength; in the future, it may well hold its own against Mortal Group.

But that's for later, right now the most important thing is to secure the claim of being the first to announce a project.

Wei Tiansheng is more concerned about the company's stock price; announcing the first project will definitely boost the company's stock price, which is what Wei Tiansheng cares most about. After all, everything Wei Tiansheng does is aimed at maintaining his position as the richest man in Jiangnan and widening the gap with Mortal Group.

After sending Wei Jiansheng out, Wei Tiansheng immediately picked up the phone and called Black Iron Technology's President Zhou.

Black Iron Technology, one of the top ten Technology Companies in the country, can rank in the top five if judged by comprehensive strength.

Black Iron Group's most famous and successful product is a free antivirus software, called Black Iron Antivirus Software, with very high penetration, basically capturing half of the domestic antivirus software market.

After starting with antivirus software, Black Iron Group's business began to expand, gradually developing browsers, search engines, smart hardware and other products, becoming a nationally renowned technology conglomerate, squeezed into Huaxia's top ten Technology Companies.

President Zhou of Black Iron Group, named Zhou Yiwei, got his name from the classic story of Damo crossing the river with a reed, Zhou Yiwei lived up to his name, starting from obscurity, solely relying on his developed antivirus software to venture into the business world and establish a group company.

Zhou Yiwei also has great ambition, now with the Metaverse in vogue, Zhou Yiwei wants to be the first to eat the crab.

Moreover, Zhou Yiwei owes a debt to Jiangnan's richest man, Wei Tiansheng, for old friendship; when Zhou Yiwei was starting, he benefited from Wei Tiansheng's favor, and Wei Tiansheng is now a shareholder in Black Iron Group.

Upon hearing that Wei Tiansheng is looking for investment projects, Zhou Yiwei, needing funds, proactively approached Wei Tiansheng to discuss cooperation.

Wei Tiansheng provides the finances, Black Iron handles the technology; with Wangu Group and Black Iron Group combining strengths, they believe they can make a sensational impact.

Wei Tiansheng said: "Little Zhou, it's me; I need to discuss something with you. I think we need to advance the press conference by one day. See if you have any issues on your side, come over now..."

Before Wei Tiansheng finished his words, he was interrupted by Zhou Yiwei: "Elder Wei, I was just about to call you. Quickly turn on the TV, now!"

Wei Tiansheng was puzzled, but picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.

Surprisingly, there was a press conference scene on TV!

He saw a familiar face on the TV screen.

Lin Fan!

At this moment, Lin Fan was actually hosting a press conference!

"I announce that Mortal Group officially establishes the Metaverse Affairs Department, with Li Zixia as the project's general director and chief technical engineer. Mortal Group officially ventures into the Metaverse from today!" Lin Fan announced.

Wei Tiansheng was dumbfounded.

Damn!

He was just planning to advance the press conference, only to find that Lin Fan had already held a press conference.

He guessed correctly, Lin Fan indeed wants to venture into the Metaverse and has become the first to eat the crab!

Again, Lin Fan struck first!

Could it be Lin Fan knew they planned to hold a press conference tomorrow and so advanced his by a day?

Thinking this, Wei Tiansheng couldn't help but tremble with anger.

Lin Fan did it on purpose!

But in reality, Lin Fan didn't know Wangu Group planned to hold a press conference tomorrow. Instead of secretly stealing the spotlight, it's more humiliating that Lin Fan defeated Wangu without knowing it.

Wei Tiansheng considers Lin Fan a formidable enemy, yet Lin Fan doesn't even know he has an opponent in Wei Tiansheng, and still defeats Wei Tiansheng.

Could there be anything more insulting?

"During this period, Mortal Group acquired Golden Jade Group. Indeed, Golden Jade was facing bankruptcy at the time, but Golden Jade Group possesses artificial intelligence technology ahead of the current global standards, Miss Li Zixia is the inventor of this technology. Next, I will demonstrate this artificial technology..."

The TV showed Lin Fan still speaking.

Wei Tiansheng's face gradually turned white, Lin Fan's press conference was more successful, and Mortal Group's stock price soared even faster. Conversely, the impact on Wangu Group's stock price, having been overshadowed, would become increasingly minor.

Sure enough, after the press conference, Mortal Group's stock price started skyrocketing, breaking through 300 billion!

310 billion!

320 billion!

Rising rapidly, seemingly about to approach Wangu's 350 billion.
