Top of the Great Era

Zhou Buqi sat down with Chen Dong and drank a cup of coffee, said a few words briefly, and then went off to do their own things.

Chen Dong took his Jingtao team to inspect eBay's headquarters; Zhou Buqi inspected the local football business, especially the progress of the new stadium project.

The expedition took over an hour.

Then, Zhou Buqi would mysteriously go to a biopharmaceutical laboratory in Stanford, where it was said that he was researching an elixir of life that could rejuvenate people after taking it.

This matter has not spread to the outside world.

However, it has been a consensus for many years in the circle of rich people in the United States. Many elderly rich people are trying their best to find ways to prolong their life and return to youth.

It just so happens that the United States is the number one country in conspiracy theories. For this reason, the people have come up with a lot of horrific and absurd news, which spread all over the world.

For example, "the theory of blood exchange", it is said that some old men and rich people have to go to the hospital every week for a blood exchange, and the blood in their bodies is replaced with the blood of young people in their twenties; In order to live forever, the heart has been replaced several times.

These absurd arguments aside, but Zhou Buqi has been doing business in the United States for the past few years, especially since he is in charge of Pluto Capital and has a large number of wealthy clients in his hands, so he will find that immortality is a very urgent market demand.

In the past few years, the technical level was not enough, and it was really impossible to keep up.

It's been different for a few years.

The global science and technology industry is booming, and mankind has entered a new era of science and technology, not only in the field of IT technology, but also in fields such as biological genes.

According to the latest news Zhou Buqi got, Rupert Murdoch, the big boss of News Corporation, has invested 5 million US dollars in the biological field of "suppressing aging" and "reviving cell vitality" this year.

Of course, this is not the most important.

This is Silicon Valley.

It is the gathering place for madmen from all over the world.

Don't think that Silicon Valley is dominated by young people, but Silicon Valley has never lacked lunatics. This is the most shocking place in the world to find the secret of "immortality".

Because there are many geniuses here, and geniuses are proud of their talents, so there is no need to "obey the doctor's orders".

Many geniuses study pharmacology by themselves, and then come up with a set of immortality methods. Many of them design diets, improve living conditions, exercise and fitness from the perspective of health preservation.

This is all normal.

Murdoch, Li Chaoren and other rich people of the older generation basically came here in this way.

This is the most rational way of prolonging life that is most in line with the spirit of contemporary science.

But Silicon Valley has never been a place of reason.

The advanced nature of Silicon Valley often comes from the negation of the current mainstream understanding of the world... Many people think that the old-fashioned way of health preservation and life extension is not effective. If you live in your [-]s or [-]s, you will die, just like ordinary people. Everyone is about the same.

Many lunatics in Silicon Valley are very courageous, and they do their own research and experiments. There are not a few such people. Some people can take hundreds of pills of various kinds every day.These people are generally not very old, and they are generally company executives or entrepreneurs in their 40s and [-]s, full of adventurous spirit.

Zhou Buqi has heard of this kind of thing a lot. There is a vice president of Ziwei Star International, who recommended it to Boss Zhou in private, saying that taking several medicines in combination can make the body achieve an unexpected effect. Inspiration is flowing like a spring, vitality is like a cow, as if returning to the age of 20.

Zhou Buqi didn't listen to these lunatics' tricks.

However, this time I went to Silicon Valley to talk to Larry Page about Twitter. After the negotiation was completed, Larry Page took advantage of the situation and mentioned the topic of "longevity" and "immortality".

Because time was limited, the two didn't talk much.

But Zhou Buqi can feel that this guy is very interested in this direction... He is now the CEO of Google, and he has all the power.It just so happens that Google has countless money, countless talents, and the best brand appeal. If you use Google's resources to do this secretly, the success rate will really be greatly improved.

Of course Zhou Buqi is also very interested in this matter, he has already asked Senior Sister Zhen Yu to pay attention to this field.

The first feedback provided by Senior Sister Zhen Yu was the biology laboratory at Stanford.

Drive to Stanford.

I heard that the next research topic is "immortality", Guan Nanqing who was sitting in the car was stunned, her beautiful eyes widened to the maximum, "Long... Immortality? Boss, is this true?"

Zhou Buqi glanced at her with a smile, "What do you think?"

"I do not know."

Guan Nanqing was completely dumbfounded.

In the past, when it came to the topic of immortality, she felt that it was impossible, and it was an imagination in martial arts novels and science fiction.

But following the big boss, she has completely given up the cognition of more than 20 years of her life, just like a frog at the bottom of the well jumped out of the well, and has a new understanding of the world.

Zhou Buqi said bluntly: "It's fake, it's all common sense. Even if there is any immortality, it won't be the present, it's all a hoax."

"Oh."

Guan Nanqing breathed a sigh of relief.

There are still a hundred and a thousand doubts in her heart, but she dare not ask any of them, she just wants to follow the big boss, see the world and open her eyes.

Zhou Buqi turned his head to look at Ning Lu on the left again, and asked, "Is Jobs still hospitalized at Stanford Medical School?"

"It should be..." Ning Lu was also uncertain, and glanced at him, "Shall I ask?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Ask, it happens that we are going this time. If it is convenient, let's go and see him. Alas, what a pity, a generation of geniuses is running out of time."

Guan Nanqing didn't know this kind of thing, she said in amazement: "Jobs...is Jobs going to die?"

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "Didn't he have cancer, the media has reported it, you don't know?"

Guan Nanqing said: "Can a rich man like that not overcome cancer?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Jobs is disobedient. Not only did he not follow the doctor's advice, he also resisted everywhere."

"Ah?" Guan Nanqing couldn't understand, "Why? Don't you want to live?"

Zhou Buqi said with a sigh: "So, this is the tragedy of Silicon Valley geniuses. They are all self-righteous, and they all think that they know everything and can do anything. Professionals still have to listen to professional people, especially in the field of life and health. Gotta follow the doctor's orders. Jobs was a lunatic, he thought he knew more than the doctor."

Guan Nanqing couldn't accept this, and said regretfully, "You can't make fun of your own life!"

Zhou Buqi glanced at her, and said lightly: "Do you know what entrepreneurship is? This is the western United States, San Francisco, where countless people risked their lives to seek gold. Silicon Valley entrepreneurship is actually the result of this spirit. Continuation is a process of joking with life. Following a doctor’s advice is equivalent to taking the path of an MBA. The more the public, the harder it is to stand out. Great success comes from a gamble with little hope of success.”

Guan Nanqing bit her lip lightly, glanced at the big boss, and said in a low voice, "Starting a business is not the same as treating cancer. If the treatment fails...you will die."

"Do you know Musk?"

"The one who made the rocket?"

"Yes," Zhou Buqi nodded, "he told me that after how many times his rocket failed, he was criticized and ridiculed from all over the world, including many of his He is an idol of worship. He said that he would invest all his wealth in making the rocket, and if he still failed, he would choose to die with the rocket.”

Guan Nanqing was shocked by the big boss's extensive network, but at the same time he was very cautious, "Isn't it a bit exaggerated? He succeeded, of course you can say that."

Zhou Buqi couldn't help laughing, feeling that the girl's personality was so steady, she felt a bit like Sister Bao, and said, "Yes, it might be an exaggeration. However, there are too many entrepreneurs, and failure in starting a business is equal to death. Success is also Xiao He's failure. Xiao He , it’s too accurate for Jobs.”

"why?"

Guan Nanqing blinked her eyes, talked to the boss a lot, and became more courageous, mainly because she felt that the boss was really approachable, without airs at all.

Zhou Buqi said: "Jobs used to be a gangster. He would smoke, drink, prostitute, and gamble. He gave birth to a daughter and didn't even recognize him. He was a proper scum. Then he went to India, and he was relieved and reborn. That's it. After the cancer, he may... have found the feeling of the past again, thinking that he can be reborn for the second time by relying on ancient Indian things."

"Is that so..." Guan Nanqing sighed softly, "What a pity."

Zhou Buqi said: "Wang Fang also wanted to find inspiration from India to save Changyou, but I let him go."

Guan Nanqing was slightly taken aback, "Who is Wang Fang?"

……

When we arrived at Stanford Medical School, Senior Sister Zhen Yu was already waiting there.

Go to the coffee shop outside first, sit down and chat briefly.

Guan Nanqing sat at the next table, a little dazed.

Compared with the major events that affect all mankind that Boss Zhou mentioned, his warm embrace with this extraordinary handsome and outstanding Mr. Zhen is nothing.

Compared with life and death, what are the little things between men and women?
Many lunatics in Silicon Valley who want to change the world are not even afraid of death, so what else are they afraid of?
The big boss should also be this kind of person, right?

At this moment, Guan Nanqing felt that her vision had been further opened, and her spiritual realm and cognitive level had also been improved.

Zhen Yu is not crazy at all, she dragged Zhou Buqi over, mainly wanting to say one thing, so that he should not spend money blindly in investment, in the field of "immortality", there are too many scammers, people who are deceived They are all world-class billionaires.

It doesn't matter if you got scammed of money.

The rich are not short of money.

It will mainly become a laughing stock in the rich circle, and it will be embarrassing.

Zhenyu said: "A few years ago, a professor at Harvard found a substance called resveratrol in red wine, which was proved to prolong life and caused a sensation. Later, this project was developed commercially, but in the 08 economic crisis When I was working, I encountered financial difficulties. Then, the international pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline made a move and bought the studio for US$7.2 million when its own cash flow was also very difficult.”

Zhou Buqi thought for a while, "It seems that someone recommended it to me. I wanted to find some health-preserving medicines for my grandfather."

"Have you used it?"

"No."

"It's a good thing you're useless." Zhen Yu pursed her lips and laughed, "Last year, this project was stopped. After further scientific research, it was found that resveratrol has no effect of immortality at all. This year, GlaxoSmithKline The project was completely terminated, and the total investment of nearly 10 billion US dollars was in vain.”
