Before Ye Chen could respond, Li Yuange quickly added, "Old Ye, I must remind you of one thing: ever since our AI 'Yi' was released, Bill Horton’s reputation worldwide—especially in Western countries—has skyrocketed. To put it without exaggeration, take Imperial College London as an example; if Bill Horton were willing to return, they would surely welcome him back with open arms, offering him unprecedented status and benefits! Furthermore, the international tech giants and the governments of Europe and America are currently coveting him to an extreme degree."
Li Yuange continued, "Another thing—I’m not sure if you’re aware, but the super-intelligent conscious simulated humanoid robot that Bill Horton proposed, which was previously dismissed, is now considered viable for development by many authoritative institutions following the birth of 'Yi.' This means that as long as Bill Horton desires it, and as long as he is willing to return to Europe and America, the entire Western world—including his home country of Britain—both official institutions and those corporate giants, would certainly provide him with all the research funding and resources he could ever need."
She fell silent.
Li Yuange stared intently at Ye Chen, as if trying to catch the slightest change in his expression.
Yet, Ye Chen remained as composed as ever.
"Are you worried that if a rift develops between us, Bill Horton will leave us?" he asked.
