As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 300 Dinner (Ask for a monthly pass!)
Li Miaomiao has become a mage, and at the same time after becoming a mage, Zheng Li will teach her individually every week.

A magic lesson from Merlin, which cannot be measured by money.

If other mages knew about it, they would definitely be extremely envious.

It is also with becoming a mage and these courses that Li Miaomiao has a deep understanding of mages.

Especially for the functions and positioning of the mage.

At the same time, she also participated in the training organized by the Huaguo Bureau of Abnormalities.

I met Jiang Yan in the Bureau of Abnormalities, and got to know the real boss behind the Huaguo Seed Industry Group, which has dominated the seed industry in recent years.

Huaguo Seed Industry Group has occupied about 50.00% of the global GMO market.

At the time when it was the most, it occupied 70.00% of the share. Until American also supported Monsanto with mages in the biological field, the situation stalemate.

In such an era background, Syngenta is now in name only, and it is still a giant in the seed industry in name.

In fact, Syngenta is only the distributor of Europa, the seed of Huaguo Seed Industry Group, and undertakes part of the research and development functions of Huaguo Seed Industry Group.

Therefore, Li Miaomiao asked: "Is the technological progress in recent years because of mages?"

Zheng Li: "There is a part of the reason.

Originally, when Internet technology has come to today, it is necessary to consider the development of the industrial Internet field.

Magic hastened the process.

Just like biological storage technology, this technology has directly led to the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology in recent years. "

Biological storage not only has a larger storage capacity, but also has a faster data retrieval speed and can handle several orders of magnitude larger data.

This has led to the ability to train stronger AI.

Google's latest AlphaGo can beat AlphaGo five years ago.

"Magic and Merlin speed up the process.

Changes that might have taken 15 years were achieved in five years. "

After Zheng Li finished speaking, Li Miaomiao nodded and said, "I've read a saying before that the technologies that people use in daily life are all technologies from many years ago."

There was a popular saying five years ago that this decade was the most boring and boring era, and we did not leave any valuable legacy to future generations.

Repackaging some technology from many years ago into the concept of the so-called metaverse is not a legacy.

Inventing new terms does not hide the technical end.

Many technologies that are closely related to our lives come from the Cold War era.

Dehydrating vegetables and vacuum preservation are products of the Apollo program.

The air cushion of sports shoes is the product of NASA's research and development of air blow molding technology.

The sensor system monitoring the astronauts later became an intensive care unit.

Digital image processing technology was first used in photo processing of the lunar surface, and is now being promoted on a large scale.

As for photovoltaics, it was first applied to spacecraft, which is also aerospace technology in essence.

The Internet is also a product of the Cold War.

The development of science and technology during the Cold War established the prosperity of global trade for nearly 40 years.

The point of view five years ago is what technology worth digging can we leave for future generations?
This statement has become less and less common in recent years.

Before the metaverse was a concept, now that the second generation of brain-computer connected VR has been launched, the metaverse is no longer a concept.

The landing of biological storage and unmanned driving technology has enabled the public to deeply perceive the changes that technology has brought to life.

The driverless truck alone has shortened the average delivery time of Huaguo's express delivery by 30.00%.

The rapid implementation of these technologies has made people's expectations for the future more optimistic.

The change of the Internet ecology by brain-computer connection VR is more intuitive than that of the industrial Internet.

The majority of programmers can feel that it is easy to find a job of [-] plus if they have mastered the relevant knowledge of VR development.

The Internet has grown from a large factory to a small factory, which is quite a bit of the pride of the early days of the mobile Internet.

For the future, Li Miaomiao also has better expectations. In the past few years, she has been researching outside companies, not just in the Internet field.

Li Miaomiao has visited many enterprises in the fields of Internet, finance, manufacturing and biomedicine.

Some are partners of Kechuangbiology, and some are research activities at the government level.

She can feel the vigorous vitality of Huaguo's economy.

But after listening to the conversation between Zheng Li and Musk today, Li Miaomiao feels that if the Industrial Internet is likely to seriously affect the employment of ordinary people.

So Li Miaomiao wanted to ask Zheng Li for his opinion.

In China, employment and stability are two sides of the same coin.

"Today I invited Zheng Li to our dinner, today can be said to be a gathering of big names, from post-[-]s to post-[-]s.

Zheng Li should be the first millennial in our dinner today.

I have to take a good photo as a souvenir. "

The dinner that night was organized by Ma Huateng, and the participants were divided into two categories.

One is entrepreneurs engaged in the Internet industry, and the other is angel investors.

Even because of Zheng Li's participation, even Ma Yun, who had never appeared in the same Wuzhen dinner with Ma Huateng, participated this time.

In the big dinner organized by Ding Lei in 17, both Ma Huateng and Li Yanhong in BAT participated, only Ma Yun did not participate.

The dinner that day was a multi-person dinner organized by Ding Lei, followed by the Dongxing Club organized by Wang Xing and Qiang Dong, which was equivalent to having one meal first and then the second.

In the first big dinner, people with past grievances like Zhou Hongyi and Ma Huateng participated.

You must know that Ant Financial's listing was blocked at that time, and Ma Yun was still Papa Ma on major social media.

In order to avoid the Dongxing Association, he didn't even circulate a private photo.

This time, because of Zheng Li's participation, he went out in person.

This meeting is full of big guys.

The Internet circle mainly includes the founder of BAT, Lei Jun, Ding Lei, Zhang Chaoyang, Dongzi, Wang Xing, Zhang Yiming, Huang Zheng and Yang Yuanqing.

Those like Yao Jinbo, Zhou Hongyi, Zhou Yuan, and Cheng Wei are not eligible to participate.

(The above are the heads of 360.com, [-], Zhihu and Didi respectively)

In fact, they also want to participate, but they don't have enough qualifications.

Zhang Chaoyang was old because of his seniority, and Ding Lei was old because he had presided over the dinner for so many years. Everyone was willing to give them some face.

And Yang Yuanqing is because he is backed by Lenovo.

Lenovo, to be precise, should be the Lenovo Department has a great influence in the domestic business circle.

Investors are mainly Zhang Lei, Shen Nanpeng, Guo Yihong and so on.

Guo Yihong is the person in charge who led IDG to participate in the financing of science and technology innovation.

When Li Miaomiao attended, she was actually invited to their Wuzhen dinner.

It's just that the dinner party was all men, so Li Miaomiao declined on the excuse that she couldn't drink.

"The youngest person in our dinner before was Yiming, and now a younger one is here.

Today's millennials are incredible. "

"Zheng Li is a cliff-leading peer, and Yiming is born in the [-]s, jumping directly from the post-[-]s to the post-[-]s.

Times are changing, and I, born in the [-]s, feel that I have been eliminated by the times. "

"You are only in [-], and you are still very early to be eliminated by the times. I am ten years older than you, so I will be eliminated."

"Although I am ten years younger than you, I am also retired.

We are practically of the same generation. "

Ma Yun was exactly ten years younger than Dongzi, so Ma Yun retired first, and Dongzi also almost retired.

"I retired after the [-]s, isn't it normal for you to retire after the [-]s?"

"That's what you call retirement, you just let your subordinates manage Pinduoduo and devote yourself to entrepreneurship in other fields.

This is not retirement. "

Huang Zheng, the founder of Pinduoduo, was born in the [-]s.

"Actually, whether to retire or not has nothing to do with age, but with one's own thoughts.

I'm about the same age as Ma Yun, and I haven't retired yet.

He even lectures on physics in Sohu videos every day.

I said Ma Yun, you can also come to my Sohu video to give a live lecture, you just speak English, isn’t this your old profession?

Zheng Li, this is the first time I've met you, and we didn't know each other very well before.

If you want to give lessons to netizens in the future, you can also come to me. We at Sohu Video are eager for talent.

If you come to teach everyone biology, I will definitely give you a master title. "

As a Ph.D. in physics from MIT, Zhang Chaoyang became addicted to talking about quantum mechanics and the origin of the universe.

But for Sohu, it really has not found its own position.

Missed too many times.

The Internet people present here not only run through the ages, but also run through the times.

Sohu and Zhuchang represent products of the early personal computer era, and BAT represents the mature era of personal computers.

Pinduoduo, Meituan, and Douyin represent the era of the mobile Internet.

As for Lenovo and Rice, these two are hardware manufacturers.

"Old Zhang, you are old-hearted, but if it were me, I would have gone to rest a long time ago.

The process of starting a business is full of passion, but after a successful business, if there is no continuous strong stimulation, it is easy to fall into emptiness. "

According to this group of Internet people's views on entrepreneurial success, it is to go public.

It used to be listed on Nasdaq. You must know that it took only two years for Sohu to go public on Nasdaq from its establishment.

Later, I went to the Hong Kong stock market for listing. In recent years, most Internet entrepreneurs want to be listed on the Hong Kong stock market or the mainland.

Times are different.

"It's about personality.

I have always heard that Zheng Li is a workaholic.

Work more than twelve hours a day.

And it's not like we have meetings, breaks, meetings, breaks, this kind of intermittent work.

Zheng Li left all the company's affairs to Li Miaomiao, and spent every day in the laboratory by himself. "

"I have also heard that the young people nowadays are too powerful.

When I was studying in Massachusetts, I didn't fight like this.

Not to mention after starting a business successfully.

No wonder Zheng Li is the most valuable of our group.

Talented and hardworking, it is difficult to succeed, come to us for a drink, just do whatever you want. "

This kind of dinner, especially for Zheng Li's first time participating, will definitely not have anything to drink.

There will also be no situation where I fuck you casually.

Lei Jun added: "Actually, I have heard of Zheng Li a long time ago.

At that time, Zheng Li was still studying at Jiangcheng University. At that time, I saw them discussing Zheng Li in the alumni group.

It is said that a freshman in the School of Mathematics published a biology paper in "Nature".

You must know that the Biology Department of Jiangcheng University hadn't published "Nature" at that time.

As a result, people from several colleges took the lead, and he was still a freshman.

At that time, I thought it was an April Fool's Day joke, but after searching the Internet, I found out that it was true.

I have seen this incident, but I just feel that young people are getting more and more powerful.

Not long afterward, Zheng Li came to me with a copy of endorphin test data.

Said to attract investment, and then said that he had mastered the method of industrial production of endorphins.

I thought about it for two or three days, and finally voted.

Mainly because I still had some money at that time.

If it was changed to the next few years, I would not be so straightforward to pay this money.

Everyone will know what happened next.

I've always been very lucky, come to Zheng Li, we brothers and sisters will have a drink. "

The period from 2019 to 2020 should be the best period since rice was launched.

It is mainly because of the mobile phone market that the flowers have given up, and a large part of the share has been eaten by rice.

Not only in China, but also in the international market, rice eats a large part of it.

In those two years, the stock price of rice soared from 8 Hong Kong dollars to 35 Hong Kong dollars.

So finding the right time to invest is very important.

For individuals, it is the process of fate.

"It's Lei Jun's luck that you can get the angel round investment of Kechuang Bio.

When I knew about this project, it was already in the A round of financing, and the price at that time had already doubled by [-] times compared with the angel round.

At that time, the clinical trial report of the first phase of endorphin came out, and I decided to submit after reading it.

Until today, this investment has been the most successful investment in my career.

The potential of Kechuangbio is indeed as I thought, far more than a product of endorphin.

It’s just that I didn’t think that the development direction of Kechuangbio is brain-computer connection, or the wide application of brain-computer connection in the field of consumer electronics.

At that time, I thought Kechuang Bio would become the Pfizer of Huaguo and shine in the field of biomedicine.

It can only be said that the ideas of geniuses are always completely different from those of ordinary people like me.

The most regrettable thing is that Zheng Li's project has never been short of money since then.

Sometimes the outlet is really only a few days.

Like the future of science and technology innovation, I can't find a channel to invest in. "

"Zheng Li and I are competitors in certain fields, and we acquired a VR manufacturer in 2020.

At that time, I was very optimistic about the future development of the VR field, and it was indeed as I expected.

With the maturity of technology, VR is the physical carrier of the next generation Internet.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that I faced an opponent who had no possibility of winning.

The combination of VR and brain-computer connection technology is a blow to other VR products.

The gap between our Pico and FutureVerse is bigger than the gap between Apple and low-end Android phones. Zhang Yiming said with a wry smile.

"I met Zheng Li twice, one time was when Kechuang Future was established, when I went to Gusu and met him once.

The second time was the redistribution of shares in Kechuang Future, and it was also when I went to Gusu to meet him.

Every time we chat, we are very happy. Although Zheng Li is more than 20 years younger than me, I am ashamed of my opinions on many things. "

　Let's vote at the end of the month~
