The coffee shop's name was 92 Degrees, and it was located near the convention center.
There wasn't much traffic nearby, and the decor of the cafe was quite elegant. The hanging potted plants gave the bar a sense of exuberance.
"During the extraction process of brewing coffee, the best temperature for contact with the ground coffee beans is 9194 degrees Celsius. This temperature is also known as the best water temperature for extraction. If the water temperature is lower than this range, the coffee will show a more obvious sour taste. If the water temperature is higher than this range, the coffee will show a more obvious burnt taste. 92 Degrees is just right, which is the specialty of this coffee shop. "
Lu Zhou: "I don't really understand."
Ye Nan smiled and said, "It's okay, I can introduce you. Can you tell me what kind of coffee you usually drink? "
Lu Zhou wasn't very interested in this topic, so he casually said, "Instant, anything that can refresh me. I drink pretty much anything."
"Instant, instant solution?" Ye Nan was obviously stunned. Fortunately, Ye Nan reacted quickly. He coughed and immediately said, "Instant coffee is also a very unique coffee taste. Generally speaking, people who like instant coffee have a strong sense of time, as well as a strong sense of execution and dedication."
Seeing how this guy was trying his best to recommend coffee for him, Lu Zhou couldn't help but smile.
He didn't mean anything else.
It was just that this guy's appearance reminded him of those people who had no interest in learning and only wanted to cater to his interests and give him benefits.
"I just like a simple life, and I don't want to spend too much time on boring things." Lu Zhou shook his head and looked at the waiter standing on the side. He said politely, "Just give me a mocha."
"Okay, sir."
The young receptionist nodded and listened to the conversation between the two. She smiled and quickly wrote down Lu Zhou's request in a small notebook.
Suddenly, Lu Zhou's phone in his pocket began to vibrate.
"Let me take this."
Seeing Lu Zhou pointing at his phone, Ye Nan quickly nodded.
"Alright, I'm not in a hurry. I'll have a Sicilian with ice, please."
"Yes, sir."
After writing it down in the notebook, the waiter nodded with a smile, turned around, and walked toward the bar.
Bored, he sat at the table and waited for about five to six minutes. When the coffee was served, Lu Zhou, who had gone out to make a call, returned.
Ye Nan quickly put on a warm smile and casually asked a question.
"What was that call just now?"
"It's from the Academy of Engineering."
Ye Nan asked with concern, "Is it urgent?"
Lu Zhou said casually, "There's no hurry. It's just that the other side asked someone to plead for me. I don't know where he got my number."
Hearing this, Ye Nan broke out in cold sweat.
It was fine if there was no hurry.
You might not be anxious, but others would probably go crazy from anxiety.
However, he was not from the academic world, and he was born and raised in China. He obviously did not sympathize with an academic organization across the Pacific Ocean.
At most, he was just a little surprised.
He didn't expect the elegant and easy-going Professor Lu to have such a dark side.
At this point, he silently made up his mind. He could offend anyone but this guy. It seemed that no one who offended this guy had a good ending.
Seeing how Ye Nan didn't speak for a long time, Lu Zhou took a sip of coffee and spoke.
"Tell me about you."
"Oh, okay, okay."
After hearing this reminder, Ye Nan quickly returned to his senses. When he remembered that he only had five minutes, a sense of urgency rose in his heart, and he immediately started talking.
"At the product launch just now, Huawei's Chief Product Strategy Officer's speech really enlightened me. Especially the 18N strategy, building an Internet with mobile devices as the core, and even a new ecosystem of the Internet of Things. It really hit home!"
Ye Nan raised his coffee cup and took a sip. He had been talking non-stop for a long time, so he said with bright eyes.
"I feel that I can already see where the next investment opportunity is!"
Even though Lu Zhou didn't know what this had to do with him, he still asked politely in order to not make the conversation awkward.
"Where?"
"The Internet! Whether it's the Internet or the Internet of Things, the technology that can turn people and things into information is the next investment opportunity! "
Lu Zhou: "…"
This guy?
Is he joking?
It was already the year 2022. Twenty or thirty years ago, it could still be considered far-sighted. But now, it was just like "people will die if they are killed". It was equivalent to nonsense.
The guy didn't notice the weird expression on Lu Zhou's face. He seemed to be touched by his own vision. He continued smugly.
"Of course, what I said might be a little too broad, but that's the general idea."
"I've been thinking about this problem for the past few days. I've been to all kinds of cutting-edge research reports and commercial product launches, but I haven't had any good ideas.
"It wasn't until Huawei's Chief Product Strategy Officer talked about a series of possible breakthroughs in smart homes, smart wearables, and augmented reality technology, that I suddenly realized something."
Lu Zhou was a little annoyed. However, due to his obsessive-compulsive disorder, he patiently asked, "What did you realize?"
"Have you seen a movie called Player One?"
Lu Zhou: "?"
Ye Nan said excitedly, "Lu Zhou, you're a genius.
"It's okay if you haven't seen it, I'll explain the plot to you."
Lu Zhou looked at Ye Nan's excited face and raised his hand. "Stop, just get to the point."
Ye Nan immediately went straight to the point and said, "Yes! This is the part that Huawei neglected! It's also my most promising investment project! "
"Just because they didn't mention it doesn't mean they ignored it, maybe they just didn't think it was worth mentioning. Also, this kind of thing has been around for many years. "
Even though Lu Zhou didn't know much about this area, he had heard a little about it. Back then, there was a "small company" that made video players, and because of this device, it was labeled as a concept. This was one of the most magical scenes in the history of the stock market.
In any case, it was already 2022, and this wasn't a new concept.
Ye Nan saw that Lu Zhou didn't understand what he meant, so he quickly explained, "I'm not talking about that kind of thing! The design of wearing a monitor on one's head was like taking off one's pants to fart! I'm talking about real virtual reality technology! "
"Aren't carbon-based chips able to improve the performance of processors by several times? Can a carbon-based chip like the device in Player One do it? "
Lu Zhou took a sip of coffee and thought for a second. He put down the cup in his hand and said, "I roughly understand what you mean. You're talking about the direct connection between the consciousness and the computer, which modulates and demodulates the neural signals into electrical signals, then converts the electrical signals into a series of neural signals for vision, hearing, smell, and so on. Is that correct?"
Ye Nan excitedly snapped his fingers and said, "Yes!"
Lu Zhou looked at the excitement and confidence on Ye Nan's face and sighed. He couldn't help but say, "I have to remind you that carbon-based chips aren't a panacea for electronic technology. Especially when you're talking about virtual reality, it's not just about computing power."
Ye Nan couldn't wait to say, "I have money, I can invest! I can even take out a few hundred million! As long as we can make this technology, we'll become the richest people in the world! Even if they add up their market value, we can still easily step on them. "
Lu Zhou: "…"
Do you think I'm Doraemon?
Lu Zhou was speechless at this guy's imagination. At this moment, Lu Zhou could roughly see that this guy was probably a second-generation rich kid who had no place to waste his money.
It was not enough for him to ruin it. He even registered a venture capital company to help him ruin it.
Perhaps he was indeed more knowledgeable than the average person, but he didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he always felt that his brain seemed to be missing a nerve, and he couldn't quite keep his imagination in check.
"Some things can't be solved with money."
Lu Zhou paused for a second and spoke.
"Also, no matter how rich you are, are you going to be richer than me?"
Hearing these words, Ye Nan suddenly remembered a rumor about East Asia Energy circulating in the investment community. The expression on his face suddenly became slightly embarrassed, and he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
"Uh, I don't think so."
Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head.
The theory of diminishing marginal effects was not only used in the field of economics, but it was also used in the field of scientific research. Especially when it came to advanced research, not only could money not solve the problem, but it could also make people feel frustrated.
However, the virtual reality technology that he mentioned was different from traditional equipment, and this piqued Lu Zhou's interest.
Of course, this interest was mainly outside of the research field; it was only an interest in the technology itself.
If one could really connect one's consciousness to a computer …
Lu Zhou looked at the time on his watch and drank the rest of the coffee in his cup. He then stood up from his chair.
"Five minutes are up."
"About what you said, I can only say that it's interesting, but unfortunately, I can't help you."
"But if I have any new ideas, I'll call you."
Ye Nan also stood up and said hurriedly.
"Then don't forget."
Lu Zhou nodded and didn't say much. He then said goodbye to this friend.
When he walked out of the cafe, Wang Peng had already driven his car to the parking lot and was waiting for him.
While walking toward the car, Lu Zhou took out his phone from his pocket and spoke.
"Xiao Ai, help me with my next movie."
Soon after, a text bubble popped up on the screen.
