Chapter 363: The back wave is turbulent
Jiang Changzhi has retired, and the group he created has been handed over to the next generation.
But his heart is not old, but he has an urge to get involved in the ever-changing world more and more.
The heart is not old, but the body is old after all. After the age of 60, all that is left is experience, vision, and money.
Together with some friends, he has set up an investment fund to invest in technologically advanced companies that may occupy an important position in the future, and it is only a Series A investment.
He also has his own investment philosophy, and he invests with people he recognizes very much, especially if the other party has already invested in angel rounds.
For example, this bit spring and autumn that I want to contact today.
Since a top tycoon in the Internet field like Rebus can invest so much money in the angel round, at least it will not be bad at the root.
Jiang Changzhi also knows Rebus, and with his current status, he will not introduce unreliable projects to himself.
After all, there is so much money involved in the investment.
However, he really doesn't know how to accurately assess the value of this project. But he was not worried, and he also brought special investment and technical talents over.
"Xiao Zhang, you don't have to be nervous. I heard Mr. Lei say that this project involves artificial intelligence and virtual currency, so I invited you back from abroad to help me refer to it. Lao Luo, they are full of praise for you, I heard that you have made a lot of money on this today, if you have any questions later, please ask me and help me palm. ”
The name he called Xiao Zhang was Zhang Weijie, a young man in his 20s with glasses.
Zhang Weijie is a young genius, only 25 years old after completing his doctorate at a world-renowned university. A year after graduation, he entered a well-known Internet company in the United States as a technical engineer, and it was purely a coincidence that he met Jiang Changzhi.
Because he was also one of the first people to be interested in Bitcoin, he made a small amount of money this year. Later, in an alumni group, someone happened to talk about this topic, and Zhang Weijie couldn't help but participate in it and published an editing.
Later, he was introduced to Jiang Changzhi through a senior brother. Because Mr. Jiang is very interested in new technologies, he happened to encounter another investment project, which is related to virtual currency.
Zhang Weijie was surprised, and now he is also very skeptical.
In a place like Jiangcheng, a project valued by a boss like Jiang Changzhi, who has been doing traditional industries all his life, really understands technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual currency?
Hearing Jiang Changzhi say this, he still replied humbly: "We must carefully evaluate their technical strength." ”
Jiang Changzhi smiled and nodded, and walked in front with a little lap legs.
I was welcomed into the company on the phone, and it was the atmosphere of a small entrepreneurial team.
However, the boss of the other party is actually a person who looks younger than himself.
Of course, Zhang Weijie also admitted that this Mr. Yu's momentum is much stronger, and in the face of Jiang Changzhi, there is respect, but it is also a posture of equal communication.
After entering their small conference room and greeting for a while, I saw Mr. Yu standing up with a remote control in his hand and said, "Mr. Jiang, then I will start to introduce the project of Bit Spring and Autumn." ”
Zhang Weijie listened to him attentively.
To his surprise, Yu always started with Xiaomi mobile phones: "Mr. Jiang should know that Brother Lei has been in the limelight this year." The 1999 yuan Xiaomi mobile phone subverted everyone's impression of smartphones. In order to make it easier for you to better understand our Bit Spring and Autumn and Daily Toutiao products, I have prepared several different smartphones for you, on which the latest beta version of Daily Toutiao has been installed. ”
Yu Qiu smiled and said: "The brand new mobile phone, which has just been installed and has not yet completed the daily headlines of user registration, is definitely not a special version of the app specially prepared for the roadshow. ”
Jiang Changzhi smiled, he was no stranger to smartphones, of course he was already trying to use them.
"Starting next year, we will soon enter an era where most people will switch to smartphones. The convenience of smartphones means that the way and time of access to the Internet will quickly tilt towards smartphones. However, the logic of the mobile operating system is different from that of Windows, and the browser is no longer the main entrance. What Daily Toutiao has also done is to become a content information killer app on smartphones!"
Zhang Weijie listened to him start talking about the logic of the daily headlines, and at the same time picked up the new mobile phone at the table, opened the app, and tried it out first in guest mode.
First of all, this way of pushing information flows, refresh a few at a time, but the way that you can refresh it all the time is really in line with the habit of using it on your mobile phone.
Then, Yu Qiu began to talk about the underlying technical logic of this product.
Zhang Weijie gradually became solemn.
Structured data, machine learning algorithms for different users of the recommendation rules to achieve that the content that everyone sees is more and more in line with everyone's needs and preferences, the future of content creators from the media open platform......
The idea is big, the logic is ...... Very rigorous!
I only heard Yu Qiu say: "But the daily headlines are just a specific application of a blockchain smart contract platform that Bit Spring and Autumn wants to build." In the underlying framework of the daily headlines, we have left the interface with the smart contract platform, and even upgraded the entire underlying architecture in the future. The development of smart phones will make it an extension of people's senses through hardware and software capabilities, which also means that it can represent a person, a person whose digital portrait is becoming clearer and clearer. ”
At this point, his explanation entered the field that Zhang Weijie was specially invited to come.
Zhang Weijie was shocked to find that his understanding of Bitcoin was deeper and more essential.
It turns out that he is more optimistic about the idea of the blockchain of the technology itself, which is an upgraded version of it, which is a smart contract platform called Chaos Chain.
When he heard that the Chaos Coins derived from the Chaos Chain already had 100,000 bitcoins as the initial benchmarking support, he couldn't help but ask, "How many?"
Yu Qiu turned her gaze to him and said with a smile, "100,000." The 100,000 coins have been deposited in the company's dedicated account, which is easy to confirm. ”
Zhang Weijie felt that his throat was a little dry: "I heard...... Your company was founded in April?"
Yu Qiu nodded.
Zhang Weijie picked up the water on the table and took a sip, soaked his throat, and then said, "Sorry for the interruption, please continue." ”
Jiang Changzhi looked at him with a meaningful gaze, and he also saw the change in Zhang Weijie's expression throughout the whole process.
When Yu Qiu finally took his mobile phone to demonstrate from time to time, and turned the page to talk about the entire financing business plan, Jiang Changzhi turned his attention to Zhang Weijie.
Zhang Weijie knew he should ask some questions, but the first thing he asked was: "If I'm not mistaken, since the second half of last year, there is an account called FutureCollector, which has been buying a lot of coins in the forum for a long time." When the trading platform appeared, the account was no longer active. Judging from some of the speech habits of this account, this should be a Chinese. Mr. Yu...... Do you know this account?"
His eyes were a little sharp, and he stared at Yu Qiu tightly.
I saw Yu Qiuleng for a moment, and then smiled: "You know me?"
"Sure enough......" Zhang Weijie hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "No one knows who Satoshi Nakamoto is." Now that you've come up with the idea for version 2.0 of this technology, he ...... It can't be you, right?"
Yu Qiu smiled and said, "How is it possible?"
"That'...... How many coins do you have now?"
"This ...... It has nothing to do with the project we were talking about, right?" Yu Qiu smiled politely and said, "Engineer Zhang, I can hear that you know a lot about this technology and are very interested. Based on your professional knowledge, do you think there is any problem with the technical conception of our project? ”
Zhang Weijie looked at him, and also at Jiang Changzhi, he really had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, but he couldn't help but ask the most curious questions.
After listening to his question, Yu Qiu asked Li Zhixing to switch the screen to Han Haokun's online video, and then said: "Haokun is in charge of the R&D team, and he is now on Yanjing's side, so he can only answer your questions in this way." Mr. Jiang, the product is about to be launched, and the task is heavy, so Haokun couldn't rush over, sorry. ”
Jiang Changzhi smiled and waved his hand, indicating that it was harmless.
Through a screen, Zhang Weijie began to communicate with Han Haokun. Chatting and chatting, he confirmed that the team's technical skills are indeed not simple.
But from the mouth of this CTO, it can also be heard that the core idea was put forward by Mr. Yu.
Zhang Weijie asked about the back, and he was a little absent-minded.
Jiang Changzhi didn't start from his own experience until the end and asked some questions he cared about.
He was very pleased that the team, without exception, were able to answer immediately, showing that they had fully considered all aspects of the situation, even the legal risks and image issues at the government level.
When Li Zhixing didn't speak, he looked at Yu Qiu quietly.
More than a year later, Yu Qiu's immature state in the mall is becoming less and less.
At that time, Yu Qiu was amazing in creativity, and when it came to the Internet, he had his own unique opinions, and he was already a very exaggerated young man.
But at that time, Yu Qiu was still relatively restrained in business situations.
But now...... Yu Qiu let him see the shadow of the top celebrity.
It's really about this project, and he seems to see the future direction in all aspects.
Others say that outstanding people can peel back the cocoon to the essence and deduce the future, probably true, right?
When Jiang Changzhi heard the end, he nodded directly and said, "Mr. Yu, today is very rewarding and eye-opening." I think I can give you a preliminary reply, I am very interested in the project. But we still have to discuss the specific valuation, as well as our investment terms, internally. ”
"Thank you Mr. Jiang for your recognition. Seeing that he had already stood up, Yu Qiu went over and shook hands with him first, "It's already noon, a light meal has been arranged, and Mr. Jiang will give me a chance to ask my seniors for advice." ”
Jiang Changzhi said with some emotion: "The back waves are turbulent, then I'm not welcome, let's exchange and learn from each other." I can tell you that just now you just limited the topic to the project itself, let's talk while eating. ”
"Brother Lei admires you very much, but he told me to learn more from you. ”
Zhang Weijie saw that Yu Qiu should deal with it decently and chatted with investors and walked out, feeling that he was full of mystery.
I've been collecting coins since last year, and I'm so young, I should be that kind of geek fan, why does it look so business now?
After a lunch, he admired it very much.
As Jiang Changzhi said, Mr. Yu's insights and pattern are terrifying, and he is simply a treasure of the context and future of the entire Internet field.
Zhang Weijie has really never seen this kind of person, at least this kind of person of the same age or even younger than himself.
How could he talk so much on so many topics?
Although it's only a virtual level, the people who chat with him are people who have worked hard all their lives and become the top of wealth. What can make Jiang Changzhi nod frequently, it can't be a blind bragging, right?
After finally saying goodbye and getting into the car, Jiang Changzhi said with some drunkenness: "Amazing! Zhang, what do you say? Are they just strategically powerful, or are they technically convincing?"
Zhang Weijie pondered and said, "What do you say...... Mr. Jiang, when you finish using that headline, you must have a judgment in your heart. If you really want to ask me what I really think......"
Jiang Changzhi said seriously: "Tell the truth. ”、
Zhang Weijie glanced back, then sighed and said, "I think that returning to China to develop may have a greater opportunity." ”
Jiang Changzhi didn't expect him to say such a sentence, and he was speechless for a while.
"You may not understand what a monster it is to have been doing this systematically since the second half of last year. I'm kind of tempted to join this company. ”
Jiang Changzhi was stunned.
