Compared to Corona Technology Company's thriving growth, Gaofeng Group had been having a rough time lately. Its current chairman, Li Gaofeng, had undergone numerous investigations, and the nature of those investigations made him feel deeply uneasy.
Even his son had been subjected to many investigations. After retracing the events, he finally discovered that Corona Technology Company was behind it.
However, Gaofeng Group was still one of the top companies in the industry, so the investigations had failed to uncover anything. Although there were some other issues within the company, they were never exposed openly and were extremely difficult to investigate.
Thus, Gaofeng Group had weathered this crisis. At a board meeting, Li Gaofeng frowned as he addressed all the shareholders.
"You all know about the crisis our company is facing. Over the past few years, we have bet everything on Artificial Intelligence and Human Prosthetic Limbs, yet Artificial Intelligence has produced no results after all this time. Those researchers are nothing but freeloaders in my eyes."
Many shareholders agreed with Li Gaofeng's remarks, and some even echoed him.
"Those researchers will never develop Artificial Intelligence. I don't think there is any need to keep them in the company. Firing them would save us a large sum of money."
"That would be drinking poison to quench thirst. It would be completely meaningless. If we fire them, all the results we have researched over the years will be lost."
"Yes, I also think we shouldn't fire them. Keep them around. Although we have put so much funding into them, they have produced some additional products as well. They aren't completely worthless."
As the people below argued, Li Gaofeng frowned, then coughed. That single cough immediately silenced everyone. None of them dared speak further; if they did, they might receive a warm greeting
