"How was your time in Los Santos?"
"It was okay . I'm going to go back to Wanghai tomorrow . "
"Is filming complete already?
Coro Island was as sunny as ever today . Leaning against a beach chair, Jiang Chen was sluggishly talking to Liu Yao on the other side of the globe . Ayesha, who was wearing a bikini, brought a cold drink for him and leaned over to kiss him on the forehead then ran to the beach .
"It's long been completed; it was just a two-minute performance, and I ended up dying . " Liu Yao stuck out her tongue and groaned .
For a minor character, two minutes of screen time was quite enough . Of course, she didn't have any dissatisfaction, but she was just used to ranting to Jiang Chen over the phone .
"Will you see the movie at my place?" Jiang Chen smirked .
Liu Yao's face instantly turned red .
His smirk reminded her that the last time she went to Xin, he was watching her movie while doing some strange things .
Her eyebrows raised . Liu Yao provocatively teased him:
"Oh? Do you only last two minutes?"

"If you forgot, why don't you try to find out?"
"Pervert!"
Hanging onto his phone with a smile, Jiang Chen began to enjoy the summer .
The cloud in the distance was like a boat, drifting along the blue sky . The sea breeze with a hint of coconut swept by his face and took away the heat from his body . Jiang Chen couldn't help but close his eyes and take a nap on this perfect day .
…
The next day, Jiang Chen went to Dr . Amos's lab and observed the experimental results of the "spiritual bridging . " However, the experiment unfortunately seemed to have encountered a bottleneck . Although the last-generation chip solved the issue of overheating, it seemed to have a heavy load on the brain .
Being connected for half an hour consecutively could cause the user to fall into a coma and interrupt the connection . Amos was doing some debugging .
However, even then, his research results were astonishing .
It was the only piece of technology from the modern world surpassing the 22nd century that Jiang Chen had seen . As for how far Amos could go in this field, Jiang Chen wasn't able to foresee the limit .
As he left Dr . Amos's lab, a call from Xia Shiyu came in . She said Walmart's CEO had requested a meeting with him .
"Walmart? Is there a problem with nutrient supply? Why didn't he seek out Tao Ming?" Jiang Chen asked with confusion .
"Not about nutrient supply, it's about VRstore . . . "

After listening to the explanation from Xia Shiyu, Jiang Chen slapped his head and realized .
With Future Group increasing their influence, aside from the initial negotiations with the major e-commerce companies, Jiang Chen had delegated the entire project to Future Technology's project team . Ning Huajian, who took over Xia Shiyu's role, was very competent in his position and the people who were chosen for the project team were all elites of the company . In the end, their results didn't disappoint Jiang Chen . Therefore, Jiang Chen didn't question the details too much .
"Where's he now?" Jiang Chen asked .
"In Future Building . "
"Is he already there? Let him go to my office and wait for me . "
"Okay . "
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen took the elevator and went straight to the floor where his office was located . At the door of the president's office, he met the representative of Walmart who came to negotiate, CEO Macmillan .
Upon seeing Jiang Chen, Macmillan greeted him enthusiastically .
"It's nice to meet you, Mr . Jiang Chen . Please forgive me for my uninvited presence . "
"Haha, not at all . Future Group welcomes your arrival . Mr . Macmillan . . . Standing in the doorway isn't the gentlemanly way of hospitality . Please, come inside . "
After McMillan was invited into the office, the two sat on the sofa, and the office assistant dressed in business professional attire skillfully made two cups of coffee for them .

"Get Ning Huajian to come here . "
"Yes . "
The assistant nodded with a smile, listened to Jiang Chen's instructions, and left the office .
Since mid-2017, the headquarters of Future Group subsidiaries had all moved to Xin, including Future Technology from Hong Kong . Although the Chief Executive tried to convince him to stay, Jiang Chen still executed this decision .
As for the reason, it was very simple . This move would save Future Group billions of dollars in tax revenue each year . Future Technology's operations in Hua would be carried out through a subsidiary and would no longer be directly managed by the company . There were many benefits to the localization of management and wouldn't be repeated here .
While waiting for Ning Huajian's arrival, Jiang Chen looked at Macmillan and asked with a smile,
"Mr . Macmillan, I heard you're here because of the VRstore?"
"Yes . About this point, I've already filled in the visit application," Macmillan said comically .
Soon, the office door was pushed open again, and Ning Huajian came in .
"Boss, were you looking for me?"
"This gentleman is looking for you, Walmart's CEO . Please sit down . " Jiang Chen gestured toward the sofa and introduced Ning Huajian to Macmillan .
After listening to Jiang Chen's introduction, Ning Huajia immediately understood Macmillan's intentions and smiled at McMillan .
"Future Technology, and even more so, VRstore, welcomes every partner to join us . If Walmart is willing to join our family, I certainly welcome you with open arms . "
However, Ning Huajian's tone suddenly changed .
"However, it's a pity that VRstore's operations team has a limited ability to scan products . Establishing VR images isn't an easy task . For now, we can only scan 100,000 items per month . "
Ning Huajian didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was obvious .
Every month, 100,000 items were permitted to enter VRstore . It simply wasn't enough for seven e-commerce giants . When Walmart was asked, they didn't join . Now that cooperation agreements had been signed with the other e-commerce companies, why didn't Walmart do this earlier?
"Can't the scanning speed be increased?" Macmillan asked anxiously .
"The number of 100,000 will definitely increase gradually, but as you know, we must give priority to the needs of our partners," said Ning Huajian .
Macmillan was silent for a moment as he adjusted his thought process .
"I know our proposal may make it very difficult for you, but we promise we won't let you do it for free . "
"At the 2018 Annual Global Merchandise Exhibition, Walmart will be the organizer of the exhibition . If you can help us scan 300,000 items onto VRstore within the next two months, we'll invite you to assist the organizer . "
After a pause, Macmillan looked at Ning Huajian and looked at Jiang Chen again .
" . . . to host a Global Merchandise Exhibition based on the VR platform with the world watching . "
