Chapter 2037 Immortality is a social product
Zhou Buqi has a completely different opinion. "Whether resveratrol has the effect of immortality is actually not important at all. The key is whether there are side effects and whether it will be chronically poisoned."

"what?"

Senior Sister Zhen Yu was slightly surprised, and couldn't quite follow his train of thought.

Zhou Buqi lay down on the coffee table, leaned over, and lowered his voice, "Immortality is metaphysics, why do we need such definite evidence? As long as it is proven that there are no side effects and will not harm others, then it is immortality."

"This..." Zhen Yu was stunned, the idea was scary enough, "Aren't you going to give it to grandpa?"

Zhou Buqi smiled, and talked eloquently, "Modern medicine is becoming more and more scientific, and it may not be all correct. Just like a person who is in a bad mood, you may not need to find a way to get rid of her bad mood." To solve the problem, you just need to say some words that don’t hurt or itch to comfort him. Comforting doesn’t do anything to solve the problem, but it can really relieve people’s depressed mood.”

This topic is huge.

It was agreed to be a psychology department, but it might be a metaphysics set, but placebo drugs are effective when encountering many diseases.

The vast majority of diseases in the world have no cure, and they all rely on autoimmunity to get better.In this process, whoever is in a good mental state can often mobilize the best immune function to overcome the disease.

However, Zhou Buqi is not a medical scientist, nor is he concerned about this direction.

Zhou Buqi said in a low voice: "This kind of immortal medicine is to increase life span, delay aging, and increase cell vitality... Whether it is effective or not is not so important, as long as the person who takes the medicine believes that it is effective. It works."

Zhen Yu frowned delicately, "What is the meaning of this? Is it just psychological comfort?"

"Of course it doesn't mean anything to us, we are so young." Zhou Buqi changed the topic, "But the older a person is, the more he wants to prolong his life. It just so happens that in the current world, there are still a group of old men who hold power."

"Build connections!" Zhen Yu suddenly came to her senses, "For the rich and powerful, after a certain age, what they care most about is prolonging life. Immortality is a social product!"

Zhou Buqi nodded, "If you want to establish a good social relationship, in fact, the general rule of the world is to give gifts, give something that can meet the needs of the other party, the older you are, the more you care about health care and longevity. "

Zhen Yu felt a little helpless, "With your social status and influence today, do you still need to do this?"

"Why don't you need it?" Zhou Buqi had his own reason, "In the matter of interpersonal relationships, there is no best, only better. Immortality is something that every powerful old man in the world dreams of."

"They are all smart people, who would believe it?" Senior Sister Zhen Yu shook her head lightly, "The concept of immortality is too absurd, just like a conspiracy theory."

Zhou Buqi smiled, "I'm going to the doctor for an emergency."

Zhen Yu gave him a white look, "Stop coming!"

Zhou Buqi said: "The richest people like Murdoch, Buffett, and Li Chaoren are all trying to eat some special pills provided in the laboratory. Let them be the guinea pigs for experiments, except for 'immortality' "This proposition is almost impossible. So far, it is indeed very effective. In the tens of thousands of years of human history, there have never been old men like them who are 90 or [-] years old. They can still have the world's most Top-notch savvy mind. I don't believe it if you say that you only need to maintain your health."

Zhen Yu nodded lightly, "Well, when resveratrol was very popular a few years ago, many powerful people were rushing to buy it, and it was a laboratory product."

Zhou Buqi said: "The failure of GSK in this project must be due to commercialization."

Zhenyu has investigated this, "Yes, they want to reduce production costs, sell to more ordinary people, and make a lot of money; at the same time, they are hurrying to make arguments and want to pass the FDA's approval. Later, they couldn't pass the approval. White Quinoa Resveratrol has an obvious effect of prolonging life in mice, but mice are very small, and the human body is too big. To achieve a similar effect, it seems that you have to eat dozens of catties of resveratrol at one time."

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "So resveratrol actually has the effect of prolonging life, but when it acts on humans, the effect is not obvious."

Zhen Yu said, "Very little."

Zhou Buqi said: "So, GlaxoSmithKline was wrong from the very beginning. There is no need for popularization, laboratory grade is fine. Since resveratrol has some effects, on the one hand, it is covered with a veil of mystery, and on the other hand, the supply is in short supply. On the one hand, if the scientific papers are indeed confirmed, you can make contacts in a small area.”

Zhen Yu pursed her lips and said, "You're not short of money, but GlaxoSmithKline is a company, and they want to popularize it and realize it! Aren't there many similar health products in the United States?"

Zhou Buqi shook his head, "Mass stuff has no sense of mystery. Once the price drops, it will lose its attractiveness and temptation to the rich and powerful."

"Well." Zhen Yu nodded lightly, "So when we invest in the field of anti-aging, we try to avoid the popular product line as much as possible. The more difficult and expensive the product is, the better. The whole world knows we have investments in immortality.”

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "That's not necessary. If science and technology really develop, especially with the help of artificial intelligence, maybe there will be breakthroughs in this field, and human beings can live to 150 years old. I just want to give you an idea. When looking for investment projects in this field, the possibility of marketization is of course very good, but it is not necessary to move closer to the direction of marketization and commercialization. Even if it is just a laboratory level, it is only in the research and development stage for a long time, and it will also have practical value.”

……

Next, Zhou Buqi and his team visited the laboratory. It was a medical professor named George Scott who seemed to have discovered that an enzyme could be used to repair DNA, thereby solving the problem of Alzheimer's.

This is also a good direction.

Zhou Buqi immediately decided to invest 2500 million US dollars in them.If the product development fails, the $2500 million will be used as experimental sponsorship.If the research and development is successful and further develops towards commercialization, it will be 25% of the shares.

Then, the group went to the inpatient department.

Seeing the emaciated Jobs.

I can only sigh.

This was probably the last time I saw Jobs in this life, and I also saw his daughter, the illegitimate daughter who was abandoned by him in the early years and never admitted.

Zhou Buqi did not discuss business matters with him.

Jobs seemed to realize that before he died, "The most important thing in a person's life is his family."

This made Zhou Buqi very touched.

I decided to take a long vacation for myself when I was done with work for a while, spending at least one month with my wife, children, and family.

Usually he is so busy, running around, and his children grow up day by day, he doesn't have too long time to accompany them to grow up, so he is somewhat ashamed.

However, today's itinerary is all arranged.

It is impossible for him to go home.

In the evening, Zhou Buqi met Chen Dong and Fukuyama Kappei again at the Hilton Hotel to learn about the progress of their cooperation negotiations with Google.

I also want to get in touch with Kupei Fukuyama, the candidate selected by Tang Binchen to succeed the president of Ziweixing Japan.

Fukuyama Kappei studied at Stanford and joined Google after graduation.

However, Japanese talents generally seldom live overseas. After learning something, they usually return to China for development. Fukuyama Kappei is one of them.

Mainly related to the social environment.

For men, living in a society where men are superior to women is of course the most comfortable.There are few mainstream countries in the world that can provide such an environment, and Japan is one of them.

Not to mention Fukuyama Kappei, even Zhou Buqi, a foreigner, enjoys the sense of vanity brought about by a Japanese woman in a kimono kneeling at your feet after going to Japan.

Fukuyama Kappei worked at Google, so he was very afraid of Google. He said: "This year, Google launched a social product called Google+, which is very popular and very active in Japan. They adopted a similar approach to YikYak's early days. marketing techniques."

Zhou Buqi said indifferently: "Well, I am Larry Page's idol. It is not surprising that he imitated me."

Chen Dong was expressionless.

Fukuyama Kappei was shocked inexplicably as if struck by lightning.

Guan Nanqing's English is not good, but some basic communication is fine. Hearing this sentence, he was a little dumbfounded.Beautiful eyes sparkle, incredible appearance.

Looking at Assistant Ning Lu next to her, she found that she was used to it.

Guan Nanqing took a deep breath.

It seems that the big boss is not bragging, what he said is true, isn't this too powerful?The mighty image of the big boss is much better than the haggard Jobs!
Fukuyama Katsuhira bowed, and continued: "After Google+ entered the Japanese market, it first cooperated with the idol group AKB48 to establish a personal page. Then it cooperated with the virtual singer Hatsune Miku to shoot an advertisement for Google Chrome. At the same time, Google will also launch a local shopping search service in Japan.”

Google+ is a social product, coupled with Twitter, it may form a trend to encircle YikYak.

At the same time, Google will also launch a local shopping search service, which will put pressure on Jingtao.

No wonder Fukuyama Kappei was so nervous and went straight to Google headquarters.

What Kappei Fukuyama cares most about is YikYak, which is currently the most profitable product of Ziweixing Japan, which can generate at least 3 million US dollars in net profit this year.

Don't miss out!

The biggest enemy, not Facebook, is of course Google, which is about to own both Google+ and Twitter.

Katsuhira Fukuyama said in a deep voice: "Google has spared no expense in creating a rich and colorful online community. It really wants to compete with Facebook. I talked to them in the past today, and they said that Google's popular products and services will It will gradually be integrated into the Google+ product. Once Google+ and Twitter are linked, the advantage of YikYak will not exist.”

Zhou Buqi told him lightly that there was no need to worry too much.

After all, this Fukuyama Kappei is not a direct descendant, he is a little bit timid, and he is too cautious.
