Super Island Tycoon

These days, due to Artificial Intelligence, Jiang Cheng’s name has once again become known to most people in the world. If it were someone else, they’d certainly be too excited to contain themselves, possibly even beyond comprehension... but Jiang Cheng didn’t pay much attention to this matter.

His ambitions far surpass this small achievement!

So, what seems like a monumental achievement to others is merely a simple task to Jiang Cheng, nothing extraordinary.

These days, Jiang has been researching virtual reality.

The concept of virtual reality, as known to the world as early as the 20th and 21st centuries, nowadays mostly refers to VR.

However, the virtual reality Jiang Cheng wants to research is naturally entirely different from VR.

The virtual reality Jiang Cheng studies is a kind of virtual reality that can connect with the mind, creating a space that only consciousness can enter and simulating reality with a device—this is true virtual reality!

This technology often appears in novels, animations, and movies. In reality, although VR has emerged, developing such technology in a short time is clearly impossible.

Even now, Jiang Cheng himself cannot create virtual reality in a short period.

It involves too many hardware devices and exceedingly complex control programs, so Jiang Cheng has been waiting for the development of Artificial Intelligence.

These days, Lucy’s learning progress has been rapid, and she has absorbed a vast amount of contemporary knowledge on virtual reality. The development of Artificial Intelligence ”Lucy” has reached the point where it can help Jiang Cheng complete virtual reality.

And in the coming month, Jiang Cheng and Lucy have been studying how to link the mental virtual reality using the simplest and most direct methods.

If it’s really done, it might be simple, but if done well, it will be more complex and require a long time.

So far, everything is going smoothly.

Two months later, Jiang Cheng successfully linked the virtual reality device.

In appearance, the virtual reality device he researched doesn’t look much different from ordinary VR devices, only lighter and smaller. However, this is a device that can truly complete virtual reality. One can imagine what kind of tremors this device could cause worldwide when it is truly released.

It’s safe to say that this latest device will once again astonish the world, and this virtual reality device will also change the world.

This is a true virtual reality device in the real sense, with functions such as entertainment, relaxation, and learning, achieving twice the result with half the effort.

Furthermore, virtual reality devices, to some extent, extend human lifespan.

Because virtual reality devices are an activity state dominated by consciousness, they can train the neuroactivity of the human brain, a method of training that cannot be accomplished through regular devices or tools.

After wearing this device, although the duration is not long and can easily cause human fatigue, the exercise effect is exceptionally good.

Similarly, virtual reality devices can easily bring humans into deep sleep, greatly reducing rest time, thus providing more time for use.

However, although Jiang Cheng has completed the world’s first virtual technology product, the product prototype has not yet been established, so there are still many things waiting for him to do.

On the other hand, in the development plan in Hua Country, there are also many preparations to be made.

The establishment and development of the company to become one of the world’s top 50 enterprises has been spoken of as a great boast, but there is much to be done, so Jiang Cheng is quite busy.

Of course, Jiang Cheng never intended to handle this matter personally but instead needs some helpers.

In this world, there are still many talents with outstanding management abilities.

Finding such talents is naturally entrusted to Lucy, as it is most convenient.

Finally, after days of rigorous screening, Lucy infiltrated countless company computers and successfully found the most suitable targets.

Note that these are the most suitable targets, not the best targets, because the best professional managers are always the CEOs of the world’s powerful enterprises. Even if you obtain their intelligence, it’s hard to recruit them.

So, it’s about finding talented professional managers who have good personalities and extraordinary abilities, but who lack the kind of prowess or have too many limitations to achieve this.

People often say that great talent is common, but an excellent judge of talent is rare; this saying is quite accurate.

In one of the world’s tech companies, Lucy discovered more than 50 talents, and this was just a small part of them.

Finally, after a prudent selection process, Jiang Cheng narrowed it down to six people.

His requirements, though simple, were too strict for ordinary people, so it inadvertently filtered out 99% of the people.

But there’s no way around it. Someone has to do it. The CEO requires only one person; Jiang Cheng doesn’t need ordinary employees.

Through Lucy, he contacted these six individuals, and only one agreed to come for an interview immediately.

The other five had other commitments and requested to wait until they had time for an interview.

Jiang Cheng naturally kicked these few out directly, as they were personally unenthusiastic because his own company now held limited authority and couldn’t afford to be busy with little reward and eventually want to resign.

Their conditions were tempting to Jiang Cheng, but now there’s an extremely important matter that can’t be avoided, and he can only postpone it, hoping to delay the interview time.

However, Jiang Cheng couldn’t wait for them; his time was precious.

Missing this interview might be the greatest regret of these people’s lives!

Zhang Manlin, female, 30 years old, graduated from a top university in Hua Country. She has served as CEO of several large tech companies in China. Although she lacks experience as an executive in foreign companies, she has acquired some advanced international management experience.

However, for Jiang Cheng, it’s absolutely impossible to choose a CEO for his company based on a resume alone. The character, worldview, and work capability are the most fundamental and important factors.

Moreover, although Zhang Manlin graduated from university, she has been job-hopping over the years; this ability to jump between jobs shows Zhang Manlin’s exceptional competence.

Jiang Cheng arranged a time and place to meet Zhang Manlin—this afternoon, at his villa on Jade Island.

Although the Cosmic Umbrella Company was established a month ago, the office location and specific work content have not been determined, so Jiang Cheng doesn’t have a concrete interview location yet.

Of course, he could go outside to places like cafes or restaurants for appointments, but some matters are not suitable for discussion, such as the company’s future personal secrets, so Jiang Cheng thought it best to interview her on Jade Island; after all, he couldn’t hide his identity.

Hearing Jiang Cheng’s proposal, Zhang Manlin agreed without hesitation.
