Chapter 1341: 5 Trillion?!
Chapter 1341: 5 Trillion?!
Su Yu's last words came from the heart. Earth was truly in desperate need of funds lately.
He had just been thinking about how to make money, and now a solution had presented itself.
Selling the AI Blue Whale would definitely fetch a huge sum. It felt like selling it for a few hundred billion or even a few trillion wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Moreover, selling the Blue Whale to the Nexus would allow him to regain control once he became stronger. The AI Blue Whale would still be his in the end. There was no downside to this plan.
...
"Hmm..." Acting Speaker Lemor thought for a moment and nodded. "I believe Su Yu's proposal is feasible. It would be beneficial for the Nexus with no harm done."
He turned to Commander Darando. "Commander, what do you think?"
Commander Darando carefully replied, "I also find it feasible."
Darando's gaze shifted to the audience, and he called out, "Councilor Jared, does your team have the capability to complete this task?"
In the audience, a red-skinned human with a brain resembling an octopus stepped forward.
This was Jared, full name Jared Lunstas.
Jared Lunstas was one of the Nexus's top scientists, a Planetary Tier 4th Rank. His team was the most advanced in the field of AI manufacturing.
In the AI domain, he even had more authority than a Stellar Tier scientist.
Jared was a mixed-blood human. His red, octopus-like brain glowed faintly as he thought.
After a moment, he lifted his head and answered seriously, "My team can complete this task. After all, it's just a Level 4 AI. If it were a top-tier AI like Hymn, it would be impossible, but a Level 4 AI shouldn't be too much of a problem."
"This concerns the safety of the Nexus," Darando emphasized. "If there's an issue with the AI that we don't detect, and the rebel forces attack, our losses could be even greater than Lunya!"
"But it's just a Level 4 AI," Jared shrugged. "We might not be able to manufacture it, but studying it should be no problem.
Give it to us. I believe we can handle it.
Even if we can't, it will still be extremely beneficial for our future AI development."
After Jared spoke, the Planetary Tier councilors nearby were intrigued.
They whispered to each other:
"I think Jared's words are reliable!"
"It's just a Level 4 AI. Everyone is overestimating it. In the past, a Level 4 AI wouldn't even be on the table. How could we not study it thoroughly?"
"Even if we can't fully understand it, studying it will still be beneficial."
"I think we should go for it."
...
Coincidentally, the stone man Reitdor sat next to Jared. Upon hearing this, he immediately perked up!
"Damn, the Commander's thinking is like this!" he thought. "He must have obtained this Level 4 AI by chance but doesn't want to contribute it to the Nexus for free. He wants to make some money through a side account!"
Reitdor finally understood the Commander's strategy.
At the same time, he felt remorse for his earlier doubts.
How could he doubt that Su Yu wasn't the Commander's side account? He had been as foolish as his kin!
In the live stream, the number of simultaneous viewers had reached 63.4 billion, a historical high!
The public discussion area was bursting, so congested that no one could even type in it.
At the headquarters of the Earth Adventure Guild, Zhong Feng and the other high-ranking Earth cultivators were also excited, their eyes lighting up!
The AI Blue Whale would undoubtedly fetch a lot of money.
This way, the initial funds for Earth's agricultural projects would be secured, a matter they had been worrying about just moments ago!
Back in the council chamber, seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Acting Speaker Lemor solemnly said, "Since that's the case, let's proceed with a vote. Those in favor of Su Yu's proposal, please vote 'yes.' Those against, please vote 'no.'"
Virtual panels appeared in front of each councilor, displaying the proposal and the voting options.
The councilors had no hesitation and cast their votes one by one.
" Ding!" About 10 seconds into the voting, a clear chime echoed through the room.
This "ding" indicated the end of the vote.
According to the council rules, if the number of 'yes' or 'no' votes exceeded 70% of the total votes cast, the vote would automatically end.
This time, the vote ended in just 10 seconds, indicating a strong consensus among the councilors.
The results were immediately displayed on the ceiling of the chamber—70% 'yes,' 3% 'no.' The vote was over.
"Very well, the first vote is concluded," Acting Speaker Lemor announced. "Congratulations, Su Yu. The council has approved your proposal and agrees to conduct the transaction with you."
"As expected," Su Yu shrugged, his face expressionless.
To be fair, his suggestion was truly beneficial for the Nexus with no downside.
If this didn't pass, everyone would truly be out of their minds!
"Alright, the first vote is through. Next, we need to discuss the specific price of the AI Blue Whale."
Acting Speaker Lemor looked at Su Yu. "Sir Su Yu, how much do you want to sell it for?"
"Hmm..." Su Yu stroked his chin, thinking for a moment before answering, "I think... 5 trillion."
"Ho... how much?!" Lemor was taken aback, drawing a sharp breath.
The councilors in the audience and the live stream viewers were also stunned.
How much? 5 trillion?! You're sure it's 5... trillion?!
That's a bit too much to ask, isn't it?!
The councilors and viewers were extremely shocked.
...
In the Figer Nexus, an 8th Rank cultivator was already considered a key force, with an average asset of around 1 billion.
The Planetary Nexus had only 873 members, with an average asset of around 100 billion.
And Su Yu, in one breath, asked for 5 trillion! 5... trillion! That's 500 times the average asset of a Planetary Tier member, possibly more than half the combined assets of all the Planetary Tier members present.
How could he come up with such a high price?
