Li Miaomiao has become a mage, and after becoming a mage, Zheng Li will give her individual lessons basically every week.
From Merlin's magic class, this is something that money cannot measure.
If other mages knew about it, they would definitely be extremely envious.
It was precisely as he became a mage and these courses that Li Miaomiao gained a deep understanding of the mage.
Especially for the functions and positioning of the mage.
At the same time, she also participated in training organized by the Chinese Bureau of Abnormalities.
I met Jiang Yan in the Bureau of Abnormal Things, and learned about the real boss behind the Huaguo Seed Industry Group, which has dominated the seed industry in recent years.
Huaguo Seed Industry Group already occupies about 50% of the global genetically modified market.
The previous maximum share was 70%. It was not until Monsanto was supported by Amerikan's mage from the biological field that the situation reached a stalemate.
In this context, Syngenta now exists in name only, and it is still a giant in the seed industry in name only.
In fact, Syngenta is only the distributor of Europa seeds 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 due to mages?"
Zheng Li: “There is a part of the reason.
Originally, with the development of Internet technology today, it was necessary to consider developing into the field of industrial Internet.
Magic speeds up 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 is not only a larger storage capacity, but also a faster data call speed and the ability to process data several orders of magnitude larger.
This leads to the ability to train stronger artificial intelligence.
Google's latest alphago can beat the alphago five years ago.
"Magic and Merlin hastened the process.
Changes that might have taken fifteen years were achieved in five. "
After Zheng Li finished speaking, Li Miaomiao nodded and said: "I have seen a saying before that the technologies that people use in daily life are technologies from many years ago."
Five years ago, there was a popular saying that this decade was the most boring era, and we have left no valuable legacy to future generations.
Repackaging some technologies from many years ago into the so-called metaverse concept cannot be regarded as a legacy.
Coining new terms cannot hide the fact that technology has reached its end.
Many technologies that are closely related to our lives come from the Cold War era.
Dehydrated vegetables and vacuum preservation are products of the Apollo program.
The air cushion of sports shoes is the product of air blow molding technology developed by NASA.
The sensor system that monitored the astronauts later became the intensive care unit.
Digital image processing technology was first used for photo processing of the lunar surface, and is now being promoted on a large scale.
As for photovoltaics, they were first used on spacecrafts, and are essentially aerospace technology.
The Internet is also a product of the Cold War.
The development of science and technology during the Cold War laid the foundation for the prosperity of global trade in the past forty years.
The view five years ago was, what technology can we leave to future generations worth exploring?
This statement has become less and less common in recent years.
The metaverse was a concept before, but now that the second generation of brain-computer connected VR has been launched, the metaverse is no longer a concept.
The implementation of biological storage and driverless technology have enabled the public to deeply perceive the changes that technology has brought to life.
Driverless trucks alone have shortened the average arrival time of express delivery in China by 30%.
The rapid implementation of these technologies has made people more optimistic about the future.
Brain-computer connection VR will change the Internet ecology more intuitively than the industrial Internet.
Most programmers can feel that as long as they master the knowledge related to VR development, they can easily find a job worth more than 20,000 yuan.
The Internet's transformation from large companies to small companies is quite similar to the arrogance of the early days of the mobile Internet.
Li Miaomiao also has relatively good expectations for the future. In the past few years, she has gone to research outside companies, not just in the Internet field.
Li Miaomiao has visited many companies in the Internet, finance, manufacturing and biomedical fields.
Some are partners of Science and Technology Biotechnology, and some are government-level research activities.
She can feel the vitality of China's economy.
But after listening to the conversation between Zheng Li and Musk today, Li Miaomiao feels that the industrial Internet is likely to seriously affect the employment of ordinary people.
Therefore, Li Miaomiao wanted to ask Zheng Li what he thought.
In China, employment and stability are two sides of the same coin.
...
"We invited Zheng Li to attend our dinner today. It can be said that there are many celebrities gathered today, from those born in the 1960s to those born in the 2000s.
Zheng Li should be the first post-00s person at our dinner party 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 type is entrepreneurs engaged in the Internet industry, and the other type is angel investors.
Even because of Zheng Li's participation, even Ma Yun and Ma Huateng, who had never appeared at the same Wuzhen dinner at the same time, participated this time.
In the big dinner organized by Ding Lei in 2017, both Ma Huateng and Li Yanhong from BAT attended, but Ma Yun did not participate.
The meal that day was a multi-person dinner organized by Ding Lei, followed by the Dongxing Party organized by Wang Xing and Qiangdong, which was equivalent to having one meal first and then a second one.
In the first big dinner, people with past grievances like Zhou Hongyi and Ma Huateng attended.
You must know that when Ant Financial was blocked from going public, Ma Yun was still Ma’s father on major social media.
In order to avoid the Dongxing Society, he did not even circulate a private photo.
This time, because Zheng Li participated, he took action personally.
This meeting was attended by all the big guys.
The main ones in the Internet circle include the founder of bat, Lei Jun, Ding Lei, Zhang Chaoyang, Dongzi, Wang Xing, Zhang Yiming, Huang Zheng and Yang Yuanqing.
People like Yao Jinbo, Zhou Hongyi, Zhou Yuan, and Cheng Wei are not eligible to participate.
(The above are the heads of 58.com, 360, Zhihu and Didi respectively)
In fact, they also wanted to participate, but they were not qualified enough.
Zhang Chaoyang is senior because of his seniority, and Ding Lei is senior because he has hosted dinner parties for so many years. Everyone is willing to give them some face.
And Yang Yuanqing is because he relies on Lenovo.
Lenovo, to be precise, Lenovo has great influence in the domestic business circle.
The main investors are Zhang Lei, Shen Nanpeng, Guo Yihong, etc.
Guo Yihong is the person in charge who led idg’s participation in scientific and technological innovation and bio-financing.
When Li Miaomiao attended before, he was actually invited to their Wuzhen dinner.
It's just that all the people at the dinner were men, so Li Miaomiao declined on the excuse of not being able to drink.
"Before, the youngest person in our dinner party was Yiming, but now there is an even younger person.
Nowadays, the post-00s generation is incredible. "
"Zheng Li is ahead of his peers by a cliff, and Yiming is born in the 1980s and jumped directly from the 1980s generation to the 2000s generation.
Times are changing, and as a person born in the 1970s, I feel like I have been eliminated by the times. "
"You are only seventy-four years old, so you are still far away from being eliminated by the times. I am ten years older than you, so I am about to be eliminated."
“Although I’m ten years younger than you, I’m also retired.
We are actually of the same generation. "
Ma Yun is exactly ten years younger than Dongzi. Ma Yun retired first, and Dongzi almost retired as well.
"I have retired since I was born in the 1980s. Isn't it normal for you born in the 1970s to retire?"
"You call it retirement without rest. You just left Pinduoduo under the management of your subordinates and devoted yourself to entrepreneurship in other fields.
This is not retirement. "
Huang Zheng, the founder of Pinduoduo, was born in the 1980s.
“Actually, whether you want to retire or not has nothing to do with your age, but your own thoughts.
I'm the same age as Ma Yun, and I haven't retired yet.
He even teaches physics lessons on Sohu videos every day.
I said Ma Yun, you can also come to my Sohu video to give a live lecture, and you will speak English. Isn't this your old profession?
Zheng Li, this is the first time I’m meeting you. We didn’t know each other well before.
If you have any ideas to teach netizens in the future, you can also come to me. We at Sohu Video are always hungry for talents.
If you come to give everyone a biology class, I will definitely give you the title of master. "
As a Ph.D. in physics from MIT, Zhang Chaoyang became addicted to lectures on quantum mechanics and the origin of the universe.
But for Sohu, it has indeed never found its position.
Too many eras have been missed.
The Internet people here have not only been through the ages, but also through the times.
Sohu and Zhuchang represent the products of the early personal computer era, while bat represents the mature era of personal computers.
Pinduoduo, Meituan, Douyin, etc. represent the mobile Internet era.
As for Lenovo and Daomi, these two companies are engaged in hardware.
"Lao Zhang, you are still old-hearted. 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 the business is successful, if there is no continuous strong stimulation, it is easy to fall into emptiness. "
According to these Internet people's view of entrepreneurial success, it is to go public.
It used to be listed on NASDAQ. You must know that it only took two years for Sohu to be listed on NASDAQ from its establishment.
Later, it was listed on the Hong Kong stock market. In recent years, most Internet entrepreneurs have thought of listing on the Hong Kong stock market or on the mainland.
Times have changed.
“It has to do with personal character.
I have always heard that Zheng Li is a workaholic.
Work more than twelve hours a day.
And it’s not like our intermittent work of meeting, resting, meeting, resting.
Zheng Li left all the company's affairs to Li Miaomiao and spent every day in the laboratory. "
“I’ve also heard that young people today are so powerful.
I didn't work so hard when I was studying in Massachusetts.
Not to mention after the business is successful.
No wonder Zheng Li is the most valuable among our group.
If you have talent and work hard, it will be difficult for you to succeed. Come and have a drink with us. Just feel free to do it. "
For a dinner like this, especially if it was Zheng Li's first time to participate, there would be absolutely nothing that he must drink.
There won't be any situation where I fuck you casually.
Lei Jun added: “Actually, I’ve 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 had not yet published "nature" at that time.
As a result, someone from several colleges got there first, and he was still a freshman.
At that time, I thought it was an April Fool's Day joke, but after searching online, I found out that it was true.
I have seen this thing before, but I just feel that young people nowadays are getting more and more powerful.
Not long after that, Zheng Li came to me with a copy of endorphin test data.
He said he wanted to attract investment, and then said he had mastered the method of industrialized 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 had been a few years later, I wouldn't have been able to afford it so easily.
Everyone will know what happened next.
I've always been very lucky. Come to Zhengli and have a drink with our senior brothers. "
From 2019 to 2020, it should be the best period since rice came on the market.
The main reason is that a large part of the mobile phone market that Huawei gave up has been eaten up by rice.
Not only in the domestic market, but also in the international market, rice eats up a large part of it.
Rice’s share price soared from HK$8 to HK$35 in those two years.
So the time to find investment is very important.
For individuals, it is the course of destiny.
"Lei Jun, you are lucky enough to get angel round investment from Science and Technology Biotech.
By the time I learned about this project, it was already the A round of financing, and the price at that time had already increased twenty times compared to the angel round.
At that time, the clinical trial report of the first phase of Endorphin had just come out, and I decided to invest after reading it.
To this day, this investment is the most successful investment I have ever made.
The potential of Kechuang Biotech is indeed what I thought, and is far more than just an endorphin product.
It’s just that I didn’t expect that the development direction of Science and Technology Biotechnology would be brain-computer connection, or the widespread application of brain-computer connection in the field of consumer electronics.
At that time, I thought that Sci-Tech Biotech would become China’s Pfizer 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 projects never ran out of money again.
Sometimes the storm really only lasts for a few days.
Like science and technology innovation, I can't find a channel to invest in it. "
"Zheng Li and I are competitors in some fields. We acquired a VR manufacturer in 2020.
At that time, I was very optimistic about the future development of the VR field, and it turned out to be exactly what I expected.
As the technology matures, VR is the physical carrier of the next generation of Internet.
What I didn't expect was that I faced an opponent who had no chance of winning.
The combination of VR and brain-computer connection technology is a dimensionality reduction blow to other VR products.
The gap between our pico and futureverse is even wider than the gap between Apple and low-end Android phones. "Zhang Yiming said with a wry smile.
“I met Zheng Li twice, once when Kechuang Future was established. At that time, I went to Suzhou and met him once.
The second time was the redistribution of Kechuang Future’s equity, and it was also when I went to Suzhou to meet him.
We have a great time chatting every time. Although Zheng Li is more than 20 years younger than me, his insights on many things are not as good as mine. "
