Chapter 1060 Do You Think I Am Tinker Bell?
The name of the cafe is 92 degrees, and it is located on the corner of the street not far from the convention center.
There is not a lot of traffic and people nearby, and the decoration of the coffee shop is quite elegant. The hanging potted plants make the bar look green.
"...During the entire extraction process of brewed coffee, the optimum temperature for contact with the ground coffee beans is 91~94°C, and this temperature is also called the optimal extraction water temperature. If it is lower than this water temperature range, The coffee will show a more obvious sour taste, and if the water temperature is higher than this, the coffee will show a more obvious burnt bitter taste. And 92°C can be said to be just right, which is the characteristic of this coffee shop.”
Lu Zhou: "I don't really understand."
Ye Nan smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, I can introduce you. Can you tell me, what kind of coffee do you usually drink?"
Not very interested in this topic, Lu Zhou said casually: "Instant, you can drink anything that can refresh you."
"...Su, instant?" Obviously stunned by this sentence, but fortunately, Ye Nan's reaction was quite quick, he coughed dryly to cover up his gaffe, and immediately took over the conversation, "Instant... also A very unique taste of coffee. Generally speaking, people who like instant coffee have a strong sense of time, as well as vigorous execution and a sense of professionalism beyond ordinary people..."
Seeing this man racking his brains to recommend coffee for him, Lu Zhou couldn't help but smile.
to no other meaning.
It's just that this guy's appearance reminds him of those people who are not interested in academics and spend all their time thinking about doing what they like and giving him benefits.
"I just like a simpler life, and I don't want to spend too much time on boring entanglements..." Shaking his head, Lu Zhou then looked at the waiter who was waiting to order, and said politely, "Here I'll just have a mocha."
"Good sir."
The young waiter nodded, and she had a smile on the corner of her mouth as she heard the conversation between the two from the beginning to the end, and quickly wrote down Lu Zhou's needs in a small notebook.
At this time, Lu Zhou's mobile phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
"I'll take a call."
Seeing Lu Zhou pointing to his mobile phone, Ye Nan nodded quickly.
"Okay, I'm in no rush...well, get me a Sicilian on the rocks, please."
"Good sir."
After making a note in the notebook, the waiter smiled and nodded, turned and walked towards the bar.
Sitting in front of the table boredly and waiting for about five or six minutes, until the coffee was served, Lu Zhou, who had gone out to make a phone call before, came back from the outside.
With a warm smile on his face, Ye Nan casually found a topic to ask.
"What was that phone call just now?"
"It's from the engineering institute."
Ye Nan was concerned and asked, "Is there something urgent?"
Lu Zhou said casually, "There's no rush, it's just that IEEE asked someone to intervene, and I don't know where he got my phone number."
Hearing this sentence, Ye Nan suddenly burst into sweat.
It's okay if you don't rush.
You are not in a hurry, others may be in a hurry.
However, he is a person outside of the academic world, and he is also a native of China, so he naturally has no reason to sympathize with an academic organization across the Pacific Ocean.
At most, he was just a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, Professor Lu, who is often called elegant and easy-going, has such a dark side.
Speaking of this, he silently made up his mind, no one can offend this guy if he offends, and no one who offends this guy seems to have a good end.
Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Lu Zhou, who had a sip of coffee, reminded him.
"Tell me about your business."
"Ah, good, good."
Hearing this reminder, he quickly came back to his senses. Thinking that he only had five minutes, Ye Nan felt a sense of urgency, and immediately opened up the conversation.
"...At the product launch just now, the words of Huawei's chief product strategy officer really enlightened me, especially the 1+8+n strategy, building an Internet with mobile devices as the core, and even a new ecology of the Internet of Things What I said is like saying that my heart has gone!"
Lifting the coffee cup and taking a sip, Ye Nan, who had been talking non-stop for a long time, said with piercing eyes.
"I feel that I have already seen where the next investment outlet will take off!"
Although he didn't know what this had to do with him, but in order not to let him stand in the cold, Lu Zhou asked politely casually.
"where?"
"Network! Whether it is the Internet or the Internet of Things, the technology that digitizes all of us and things must be the outlet for future investment!"
Lu Zhou: "..."
This guy……
Is it a joke?
It's already 2022. If someone said this 20 or 30 years ago, it could be regarded as far-sighted, but now it is said that it is the same as "people will die when they are killed", which is equivalent to a nonsense.
Didn't notice the weird expression on Lu Zhou's face, this man seemed to be moved by his foresight, and continued to speak complacently.
"Of course, my statement may be a little bit broad, but generally speaking, this is the case."
"I have been thinking about this issue these days. I have gone to various cutting-edge research reports and commercial product launches, whether I can understand them or not, but I have never had any good ideas. "
"Until just now, when the chief product strategy officer of Warwick talked about a series of possible breakthroughs including smart home, smart wear and reality augmentation technology, I suddenly realized it."
Seeing that he stopped like a trick, Lu Zhou was already a little annoyed, but out of obsessive-compulsive disorder, he asked patiently, "What did you realize?"
"Have you ever seen a movie called Ready Player One?"
Lu Zhou: "...?"
Seeing Lu Zhou's inexplicable expression, Ye Nan immediately said excitedly.
"It doesn't matter if you haven't seen it, I'll briefly tell you about the plot."
Looking at the excited Ye Nan, Lu Zhou raised his hand with some headaches: "Stop, just pick the key points."
Ye Nan immediately got to the point obediently and said: "VR! This is a place ignored by Huawei! It is also my most promising investment project!"
"With all due respect, if people don't mention it, it doesn't mean they've ignored it. Maybe they just don't think it's necessary to mention it separately. Besides, something like VR has been hyped many years ago."
Although Lu Zhou is not particularly familiar with this aspect, he has heard a little about it. Back then, a "small company" that made players was labeled as a VR concept because it built a VR device, and then staged one of the most magical scenes in the history of A-shares... one of them.
Anyway, it's already 2022, and this thing is not a new concept.
Seeing that Lu Zhou didn't understand what he meant, Ye Nan anxiously explained: "I'm not talking about that kind of VR! That kind of design with a monitor on your head, it's just taking off your pants and farting! What I'm talking about is real virtual reality technology!"
"Can't carbon-based chips increase the performance of the processor geometrically? Like the VR device in the number one player...can carbon-based chips do it?"
After taking a sip of coffee, Lu Zhou thought for a while, put down the cup in his hand, and said, "I roughly understand what you mean, you mean the kind of direct connection between consciousness and computer, and the modulation and modulation of nerve signals. A technology that converts electrical signals into electrical signals, and then converts electrical signals into a series of neural signals such as vision, hearing, smell, etc., and feeds them back to the brain... Am I right?"
Ye Nan snapped his fingers excitedly: "Exactly!"
Seeing the inexplicable excitement and confidence on his face, Lu Zhou sighed and couldn't help but said, "I have to remind you that carbon-based chips are not a panacea for all problems in the development of electronic technology, especially what you said Virtual reality in the true sense is not just a matter of computing power—"
Ye Nan couldn't wait to say immediately: "I have money, I can invest! I can get hundreds of millions! As long as we develop this technology, we will become the richest people in the world! Even if it is BAT's The combined market value will be easily trampled by us.”
Lu Zhou: "..."
Do you think I'm Tinker Bell?
I can no longer complain about this guy. At this moment, Lu Zhou has roughly figured out that this guy is probably the rich second generation of some family. He has money and has no place to waste it.
It's not enough to ruin it by himself, and even registered a venture capital company to help him ruin it together.
Maybe he does have more vision than ordinary people, but I don't know if it's his own illusion. He always feels like there is a lack of root in his brain, and he can't tie his own brain.
"There are some things that money can't solve."
Having said that, Lu Zhou paused and joked.
"What's more, no matter how rich you are, can you have as much money as me?"
Hearing this sentence, Ye Nan suddenly remembered a rumor about East Asia Electric Power that was circulating in the investment circle, and the expression on his face suddenly became subtly embarrassed, and he scratched the back of his head embarrassingly.
"Uh, this... doesn't seem to be there."
Seeing the embarrassed expression on this guy's face, Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head.
The theory of diminishing marginal effects is not only tried in the field of economics, but also in the field of scientific research. Especially for advanced research, not only can money not solve the problem, but it will even make people feel frustrated that there is nowhere to spend it.
However, the virtual reality technology he mentioned, which is different from traditional VR equipment, did arouse Lu Zhou's interest.
Of course, this interest is mainly outside the research field, just for the interest in the technology itself.
If it is possible to connect consciousness to a computer...
After looking at the time on the watch, he drank the remaining coffee in the cup in one gulp. Lu Zhou stood up from his chair.
"It's five minutes."
"All I can say about the things you said was interesting, but unfortunately not helpful."
"However, if I have a new idea, I will call you."
Also stood up, Ye Nan said quickly.
"Then don't forget."
Lu Zhou nodded and said goodbye to this man without saying too much.
After walking out of the coffee shop, Wang Peng had already driven the car to the parking space and waited for him.
When walking towards the car, Lu Zhou took out his mobile phone from his pocket and said something casually.
"Xiao Ai, help me with the next movie."
Soon, a string of bubbles popped from the screen.
【Received, Master! φ(≧ω≦*)]
