Chapter 694 The Yan brothers will not give up on cooperation

Among those who contacted Yan Shu, besides those who wanted to prevent him from cooperating with Su Mo, there was another group—those who came to discuss cooperation—accounting for about half of them.

The ones who want to discuss cooperation are the upstream suppliers. They don't care who can win the project from Su Mo, because whoever wins it will need to cooperate with them anyway. They have their own information channels and know that Su Mo probably prefers to cooperate with the Yan family, so it's not surprising that they came to them.

First, communicate with Yan Shu to build a relationship and deepen his impression of you. Then, when Yan Shu really needs them, he will naturally think of them.

Whether it's a company with official backing or a private enterprise like the Yan family, it's all the same to them; it's just a change of downstream partners. To be honest, if they were to cooperate with the Yan family, they might even be able to earn more.

Of course, Yan Shu dealt with all of the above situations, neither agreeing nor refusing, maintaining an attitude of indecisiveness.

"Click." The door opened, and Yan Jin stepped into the living room.

Yan Shu shifted his gaze from the screen and looked over there.

"came back."

"Brother, have you been waiting long?" Yan Jin walked over and sat down on the single sofa next to Yan Shu.

"I've only been here a little while. Have you finished taking care of things at the academy?" Yan Shu asked.

It wasn't that he couldn't wait for his younger brother to rest before asking, but it was an important matter concerning the academy and newly established courses, which Yan Shu had to take seriously.

"There are no problems for now. As long as we have the teaching materials, we can start teaching. It's just that the practical and hands-on issues that follow are a bit troublesome, but that can't be solved in a short time."

"If needed, I can only arrange for someone to go and set up a simulation pod for the academy. There's nothing more we can do."

“But those things can wait until Su Mo comes back, and she can handle them herself,” Yan Jin said frankly, rubbing her temples.

Yan Shu raised his hand and beckoned, and another humanoid robot at the bar poured two drinks and brought them over.

Yan Jin was given his favorite special tea, which had a mild and refreshing effect, while Yan Shu's glass was fruit wine.

Yan Jin picked up her cup, took a sip, and then asked, "Brother, are those people still contacting you? Can you handle it?"

"Hmm," Yan Shu said calmly.

"Besides those few companies that have powerful backers, there are also some that have come to us to discuss cooperation. Ha, they all realize that their plans are probably going to fail, so it's normal for them to be anxious."

“However, I can’t afford to save face for anyone in this matter. The Yan family will never refuse to cooperate with Su Mo.” Yan Shu’s attitude was clear.

Back then, their family owned only a small company in Beijing. After Yan Shu took over, he and Yan Jin embarked on a new path. The initial setbacks almost cost Yan Shu his life abroad.

If it weren't for Wu Shun's introduction of Su Mo to invest in their company, it's questionable whether the Yan family would have been able to succeed.

Furthermore, the pills that Su Mo later gave her saved Zhang Yishi; otherwise, the Zhang family company would have been in turmoil, and there would be no stability now.

If Su Mo asked his family for help, Yan Shu would definitely not refuse, especially since it was a cooperation with huge benefits. He would not refuse even if those people threatened him.

They excluded the Yan family when they were making their plans, and now they think they can scare him with a few words?

Even if Su Mo hadn't contacted his family and had instead opted for a public tender, Yan Shu would still have competed for it. How much more so now that Su Mo had approached him beforehand to ask for a favor?

Yan Jin had no objection to his brother's words. He always supported his brother's decisions, just as his brother supported him.

"Even so, will those people really have any impact on our family?" Yan Jin asked again.

Yan Shu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"If we really go head-to-head, it will definitely have an impact."

"The most likely explanation is that they're trying to take control of our orders over the Feiyue area."

Yan Jin's eyes darkened slightly, and he remained silent.

"How's our chip business going? Will we be okay if we cut off our cooperation with Feiyue?" Yan Shu's question interrupted Yan Jin's thoughts.

Several years ago, Yan Shu had already started recruiting talent in this field. Although the most desired companies for these talents were Feiyue due to the issue of matching their majors, MC was also a top technology company in Xia Country, which allowed Yan Shu to secretly recruit some people as well.

He had long been wary of being manipulated on his side.

"You can rest assured about that. I'm already in mass production of chips that can meet the needs of our products. It's just that we're still a little short on the next generation of chips," Yan Jin replied.

They are still buying chips from outside sources to avoid alerting the outside world. After all, as Yan Jin said, they don't have a way to develop high-end smart chips yet, and they don't want to expose themselves until they can control them.

Unless absolutely necessary.

"That's good. Overall, things are still going well. At least the authorities haven't made any moves yet, and I suspect they won't intervene as things continue to develop." Yan Shu's tone was relatively relaxed.

"Will there be any danger?" Yan Jin asked, habitually pushing up his glasses.

Yan Shu is the only one in the Yan family who can withstand external pressure, which worries Yan Jin.

It's not that I'm worried Yan Shu will "fail to do things properly," but I'm worried that some people might become desperate and do something rash. They can't handle Su Mo, so it wouldn't be surprising if they chose to target their rival.

He was worried about Yan Shu's safety, even though Yan Shu was already equipped with self-defense gear.

"Don't worry, as long as things aren't brought into the open, they can't do anything to me."

"It's nothing more than cutting off my supply of goods, which I'm prepared for."

"Even if the number one city or several major cities in Xian'an Province are all in cahoots to make things difficult for me, I can just go to other major cities, to places further away. There will always be people willing to do business with me," Yan Shu said confidently.

He shared the screen with his younger brother to watch.

“These companies are all my options. If things don’t go well here, I’ll personally make a trip to another city.”

On the screen was a list of all the companies marked by Yan Shu. Yan Jin quickly scanned it, and he had never even heard of many of them.

But this is clearly the older brother's forte, something he doesn't understand.

"I have some small items here. Whether you go out or not, brother, you should always carry them with you." Yan Jin took out a few small pieces of equipment from his storage magic item.

There are simple energy shields that trigger automatically when attacked by energy; there are also shields that can deflect psionic attacks, which are also triggered passively. Although they overlap with the functions of Yan Shu's original defensive equipment, they have all been optimized by Yan Jin. So what if they overlap? They are safer.

Besides defensive equipment, there are also other small gadgets with different functions, such as small energy pistols and instruments that can block signals within a certain range and prevent interference from being blocked.
