Don't underestimate the poor and elderly; I was thrilled to refuse the class beauty's adva

As the information unfolded, Zhang Yifan's eyes lit up instantly.

Only then did he realize that Basil was not just a rich second-generation playboy who only knew how to associate with campus circles and show off.

This guy's ambition is far greater than anyone imagined.

Leveraging her status as a top student in the Computer Science Department at National Tsing Hua University, coupled with her influence as the student council president, Luo Le had already quietly laid out her entrepreneurial path from the very beginning of her university studies.

On the first day of military training, while others are still adjusting to university life and drifting through the days in a daze, Luo Le's privately established AI studio has already taken shape.

The database clearly records the team's core strengths.

Basil focuses on the "AI model intelligent creation, algorithm iteration, and digital content generation" track, with an extremely forward-looking vision, accurately catching the technological trends of the next few decades.

With his professional skills, academic titles, and the well-known identity of "the heir of the Chrysanthemum Group," he managed to attract a large number of top geniuses from the Department of Computer Science at National Tsing Hua University.

These individuals are all top-tier technical backbones in their respective departments, possessing exceptional coding skills, algorithmic thinking, and innovative abilities. They are the kind of top talents that the future technology industry will be scrambling to recruit.

Thanks to this group of talents, the AI ​​models, concepts, and technical levels that Basil honed in the early stages were already in the nascent stage of being world-leading.

It is this seemingly insignificant campus startup team that will become Basil's most core capital asset in a few years.

Its subsidiaries were successfully integrated into the core system of Chrysanthemum Group, and with its advanced AI technology, it made up for the shortcomings of Chrysanthemum Group's intelligent ecosystem.

This allowed Chrysanthemum, which was already firmly at the top of China's technology, to completely leave its competitors far behind and take the lead.

After reading the positive development history, Zhang Yifan continued to flip through the pages and soon discovered the dark secrets hidden behind the glamorous business legend.

Basil has been able to retain so many top talents not because of short-term high salaries, but because of a huge pie-in-the-sky promise that has been drawn up for years.

From the very beginning of the team's formation, he repeatedly brainwashed and painted a rosy picture for all the founding members:

"Our project will definitely be merged into Chrysanthemum Group in the future."

"You are all founding members. Once the merger is finalized, everyone will be a shareholder, and everyone will be a core executive of Chrysanthemum, achieving financial freedom."

"Follow me, and you will definitely share in the future technological dividends."

At that time, a group of computer science geniuses, young and passionate, full of ideals, and convinced of Basil's background and abilities, believed in him without a doubt.

Everyone was filled with the expectation of a bright future and reaching the top of the industry. They followed him wholeheartedly, working late into the night to tackle the challenges and hone their skills. They received meager salaries from the startup company and endured the high-intensity 996 work schedule without complaint.

But the final result was incredibly ironic.

When the company successfully merged into Chrysanthemum Group, its valuation skyrocketed, and it took off completely, all the promises Basil made back then became null and void.

There is no equity, no dividends, no senior management rank, and no expected benefits.

Not only did they gain nothing, but everyone's work conditions and intensity also experienced an epic decline.

The original 996 entrepreneurial work schedule has been transformed into a standardized 007 work schedule across the group, with no rest and high-intensity exploitation all year round.

Salaries and benefits did not increase at all; in fact, due to the group's standardized management, welfare benefits were reduced in effect.

The most frustrating thing is that these veterans, who were full of passion and pursuing their dreams, ended up being exploited and oppressed.

But from beginning to end, they didn't even have the right to resist or resign.

The database clearly identifies two unsolvable deadlocks.

First, the programming and algorithm industry is a field that relies on youth. Years of intense, all-night work have left these people physically and mentally exhausted.

As one enters middle age, energy levels decline significantly, and the courage to take risks and make mistakes is lost, leaving only the desire for stability.

Secondly, in China's technology industry, Chrysanthemum Group has long held a dominant position and monopolized half of the market.

Once they completely break with Chrysanthemum and are blacklisted internally, no company in the entire industry will dare to take them in.

High salary, future prospects, and escape routes have all been completely locked away.

A heart full of passion wasted on the dogs, years of youth exchanged for exploitation, and in the end, one can only swallow one's anger and silently compete, becoming a lowly worker at the bottom of the capitalist system.

After reading this entire excerpt about the future, Zhang Yifan couldn't help but click his tongue inwardly.

It must be said that Basil is indeed a person of low character, stubborn, vengeful, and narrow-minded.

However, their ability to attract talent, win people's hearts, and strategically position themselves in the market is truly top-notch.

The ability to lock in an entire team of future top AI talents for years with just a lucrative offer, making them willingly work for him and pave the way for him, is a skill that no ordinary college playboy could match.

But it was precisely this deceptive tactic that gave him the perfect opportunity to exploit the situation.

Zhang Yifan's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he quickly sorted out the current time frame in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more perfect it seemed. It was a golden window of opportunity that was only available once in a lifetime.

Now, Basil's AI team has just taken shape, the technical framework has been built, and all the core talents are in place. The only shortcoming is the lack of money.

The project needs a large sum of money to sustain its growth and expand rapidly in order to upgrade, expand its scale, and seize the early market.

Basil's father, Rossi, CEO of the Chrysanthemum Group, was extremely insightful.

He deliberately withheld funding to train his son, allowing him to leave school, connect with capital, and independently secure financing, building his network and business experience without relying on the family's support, and developing his abilities through hard work.

To outsiders, with the giant Chrysanthemum Group behind it, Basil could easily raise funds with just a word. Major investors would be scrambling to give it money, so there was no shortage of opportunities.

But only Zhang Yifan, who has access to information about the future, knows that Basil, who seems to be enjoying great success and has a lot of advantages, is actually stuck in the most awkward and vulnerable bottleneck period of his entrepreneurial journey.

With insufficient family funds and unsecured external capital, the team is desperately in need of support, and the project urgently requires funding.

This is the perfect opportunity to intercept!

A bright glint flashed in Zhang Yifan's eyes, and his mind immediately began to make plans.

Basil is a person of poor character, narrow-minded, and extremely selfish, which means he is destined not to retain this group of talented people who are truly dedicated to their work.

But the AI ​​genius team he painstakingly cultivated is definitely a top-tier treasure for the future, worth hundreds of billions.

Since all he does is make empty promises and exploit talent, I might as well take over myself.

He's short of money, I'm rich.

He can't give talented people the future they're promised, but I can.

I can easily acquire the top-notch team that he couldn't retain.

Basil plotted against herself on campus, harbored resentment, and planned to suppress herself within her social circle.

Then let's cut off his lifeline and destroy all his future business foundations!

Do you want to turn your life around, control me, and prove yourself by relying on a future AI business empire?

Excuse me.

You painstakingly build your team, pave the way for future development, make grand promises, bear the pressure, and accumulate experience.

Ultimately, all the talent, technology, infrastructure, and the multi-billion dollar empire will belong to me.

Basil?

Just stay put and behave yourself.
