At this point, one of the shareholders said, "You'll have to ask that. But I don't care about shareholder status. I only care about the annual dividends and making money. This year, the BBC's ratings and sales have declined sharply. I need you to focus on how to increase revenue."
"Instead of putting it in zz."
After this shareholder finished speaking, it immediately resonated with several other shareholders, who all echoed his sentiments.
Some people didn't care about Shen Yan's identity, but others did, like the first person who spoke, who glared and said, "Hmph! You don't know the dangers involved!"
"Let me tell you, I will never agree to let a Chinese person hold shares in a company with me, and the Queen won't allow it either!"
"I hope you will think carefully about what to do if the Queen gets angry?"
"And what about those lawmakers? Will they intervene?"
"You still want to make money? You don't even know if you'll be able to make any money by then."
"..."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone fell silent and looked at the person sitting in the head seat.
Allen lit a cigar, took a puff, and said, "My friends on the Z side told me that the acquisition procedures of this Chinese man are all legitimate."
"So we only have two options. The first is to forcibly take back these shares on the grounds of threatening national security."
"But we need to use money to redeem ourselves from the government."
"The next day, we'll have Shen Yan sell it to us, and we'll pay for it ourselves."
"Both of these methods need to be completed within a month," Xi said.
172 Old Deng's strength, Shen Yan's confidence
Upon hearing that both plans required money, everyone present fell silent.
After all, this has nothing to do with them, so why should they pay for it? It's not in their best interest.
However, everyone just thought about it.
Seeing that everyone remained silent, the leader could only say, "It seems that everyone disagrees with these two plans. Fortunately, I have a third plan here."
"Call Shen Yan over. The government will send people to detain him. Then the government will find the people who sold the stocks and have them testify that Shen Yan is suspected of fraud, and detain him."
"The court will cooperate and resolve the case in the shortest possible time. The shares will return to us without costing us a single penny."
Upon hearing this suggestion, many people present had their eyes light up.
Do it!
It can be done!
The man who was most opposed to Shen Yan raised his hand and said, "I agree!"
"I also approve of 'May 47th'!"
...
They then discussed how to implement it and the allocation issues.
Little did they know, their entire conversation was overheard by Old Deng, who was monitoring the world in real time via his mobile phone.
"Boss, we've just detected a crisis that concerns you personally and financially!"
"Ok?"
Having just finished chatting with Mike and Brown, Shen Yan, who was driving, suddenly paused, his eyes narrowing slightly: "Old Deng, tell me what exactly happened."
"Ok."
"Just now, at the BBC shareholders' meeting, they were discussing..."
Immediately after Old Deng's explanation, Shen Yan learned that someone on the other side of the ocean was planning to take action against him.
After hearing the entire plan, he pulled over, his face turning extremely grim.
It's not that I'm angry because I was tricked, but because of the shamelessness of these people.
After a long silence, Shen Yan finally spoke: "Old Deng, keep a close eye on their movements and inform me of their plans as soon as possible."
"Okay, boss."
Old Deng responded, and then added, "Boss, based on this matter, I have prepared three plans to deal with it."
"Three? Tell me about them."
Shen Yan leaned back in his chair, intending to hear Old Deng's idea.
"First, the boss will sell the stock at a premium. Although the BBC's financial statements have declined slightly in recent years, it still has considerable international influence, and many people will still be tempted."
Upon hearing Old Deng's explanation, Shen Yan knew that Old Deng was advising him to avoid confrontation.
This method is safe.
But... should we avoid their sharp edge?
To be honest, Shen Yan wasn't very willing to do this. If the BBC treated him like this today, he would have no choice but to avoid others doing the same to him in the future.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Yan shook his head.
He can't.
He couldn't do such a thing either. He said in a deep voice, "The second option."
"As expected, the boss's chances of choosing the first option are zero."
Old Deng grumbled, then continued, "The second option is to strike first, using the intelligence we currently have on John Bull, to publish it online, guide public opinion, and launch economic and political retaliation against him."
"It is highly feasible to use economic manipulation to control the US again, which may take a long time, about several years or even more than ten years."
Upon hearing this idea, Shen Yan nodded in satisfaction.
"That's more like it. You want me to avoid their sharp edge? No way."
"Old Deng, what about the third one?"
Old Deng paused for a moment before speaking, "If I were to reveal the third idea, there's a 90% chance you'd adopt it, because the plan is very simple and would cause a huge uproar. I dare not speak carelessly about it."
???
!!!
It actually implies risk avoidance?
Shen Yan chuckled and immediately said, "Old Deng, tell me, I want to hear what exactly this plan that you're 90% sure I'll execute is all about."
Old Deng could not disobey Shen Yan, so after he finished speaking, he paused for a long time before finally saying, "Destroy the country, infiltrate the weapon systems of various countries, and launch missile strikes against John Bull."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yan froze on the spot for a while, then smiled contemptuously: "Old Deng, you think too highly of me. Would I be that kind of person?"
"By the way, which country's weapons system do you think I should hack into? I remember the US has some secret research on biological weapons. To keep it simple, I'll just drop it on them?"
"Oh, that won't work either. After all, I don't have a vaccine to prevent biological weapons from being used. If it were released globally, it would cause a crisis."
"Let's be direct, use missiles to bombard the ground."
Shen Yan said to himself.
He had to admit that after Old Deng's reminder, he was genuinely tempted!
And what's most terrifying is that he wasn't only thinking about John Bull's family, but he was also quite tempted by some of the clowns next door...
This is because when you are highly capable, the decisions you make can sometimes truly affect the survival or extinction of a nation or a race.
Fortunately, Shen Yan only thought about it for a moment. He calmed himself down and forced himself to remain composed.
“…”
"Old Deng, you're really something. You almost won me over with just a few words."
“Boss, don’t think I don’t know. You’re still tempted, but your conscience is telling you not to do it.”
"Haha~"
Shen Yan laughed: "You're right. Indeed, if it's just about taking out these people who want to harm me, I don't care. I could even let missiles land in their house right now."
"But if innocent people are involved... I don't want to become a puppet controlled by power."
After Shen Yan finished speaking, he said, "Let's use option two. You will be in charge of disseminating the message. Remember to spread it throughout the world and make sure everyone knows about it."
"At the same time, I will have Cai Xuan cooperate with you to carry out capital plunder in the domestic of John Bull, so that they can feel the pressure of the economy."
"As for what kind of information you want to release, that's up to you. I'll just watch."
Shen Yan seemed to be letting Old Deng make his own decision, but he was actually observing the extent to which Old Deng, this artificial intelligence, had developed. If possible, he would have an omniscient and omnipotent butler by his side in the future.
"Okay, boss, please grant authorization."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yan picked up his phone, pointed it at himself, scanned the screen, then put the phone down on the 5.1 screen and tossed it aside. He then left the task to Lao Deng.
He is only responsible for maintaining control; if anything gets out of control, Shen Yan will step in to resolve it.
Of course, he's not worried about things like AI-powered breakfasts, as depicted in movies.
Rather, if he can write an Old Deng 1.0, he can write an even more powerful and comprehensive Old Deng 2.0.
He had dozens of modified and upgraded plans for Old Deng in his mind, but he wouldn't bring them out now.
It's very simple, he can control it.
This doesn't mean that others can control these technologies. Shen Yan will not tell anyone except himself.
This is his absolute confidence.
He was confident that someone as intelligent as Old Deng would behave himself under his command.
Composing himself, Shen Yan glanced at the ticket on the seat, chuckled softly, and continued driving away.
173 Goodbye Sang Zhi, Hedgehog Girl Han Fei
Outside the campus.
Sang Zhi wore a large blue and white coat, revealing the collar of a pure white T-shirt underneath.
Underneath her school uniform was her favorite light-colored soft sweater and overalls, paired with a neat ponytail and simple hair clips, giving her a fresh and well-behaved look.
