In another corner of the conference hall, Zhu Guoliang was chatting with another professor from the United States, Professor Erwin.

"Zhu, Bramble is actually your student? I have to say, we are old, and we will be the world of their young people in the future. ”

"Oh, Jing ...... Is Brambull famous in the United States?" Zhu Guoliang was already becoming more and more curious.

"Why don't you know? Especially among young people, they should be more famous than your Chinese president. Professor Erwin smiled and introduced. However, it was still the 80s, and the international academic community was still relatively shy about talking about money, and what was respected was still academic achievements. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Guoliang was quite surprised, although he was not very familiar with the computer IT field, he also knew that this was an emerging hot industry: "Is that really the case?"

Seeing that Zhu Guoliang seemed to be skeptical, Professor Erwin continued: "Back then, he used to quarrel all over the United States and caused a great sensation. I have to say that the computer IT industry is full of energetic young people. Actually, I really like this new technology. Through email, it is easy to communicate with peers, and there is no longer a need for slow international mail. And I also like the idea of a database, which would save a lot of time if all papers could be easily indexed in the future. The BBS at Bluestar is also good, and several universities have teamed up to establish a professional section. Zhu, if you are interested, you can also discuss it together. ”

Before he knew it, Professor Erwin had moved to his own area of expertise. And Zhu Guoliang was also led astray: "Yes? I have indeed heard of these tools. It's a pity that we in China haven't been connected like this yet, so I don't know when it will take. ”

"It shouldn't be too long, right? The World Wide Web has already appeared, and I believe it will be connected to China in a few years. Especially in your country, there is Bramble......"

“……”

Not long after, the last lecture began this afternoon, and seeing Jing Jian return to his side, Zhu Guoliang went to listen to the lecture with Jing Jian. waited until the end, and on the way back to the hotel, Zhu Guoliang finally couldn't hold back and asked Jing Jiandao: "Xiaojian, isn't your major in chemistry in the United States? How can you be interested in computer IT?"

Jing Jian chuckled a few times: "To give you a thorough explanation, my major is really chemistry, and computer IT technology is two knives." ”

"Two knives?" Zhu Guoliang was surprised, it seemed to be completely different from what Professor Erwin said.

Jing Jian explained with a smile: "In fact, the development of computer IT is quite young, similar to biochemical technology, and it is a very popular venture capital industry in the United States. When I first arrived in the United States, I put forward a concept and debated it, and some people probably thought that what I said made sense! In fact, it was completely theoretical, and technically I was a layman. But those layman investors don't know much, or if they do, they will still speculate, so they are inexplicably hyped into experts. But Zhu Lao, no matter how dizzy I am, I always have self-knowledge. ”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Guoliang immediately laughed, and thought that he understood the situation. In the 80s and 90s of the last century, there were six hot topics in the scientific and technological circles - computer IT, artificial intelligence, superconductivity and new materials, aerospace technology, biotechnology, and controlled nuclear fusion. Of course, many are still popular today, such as controlled nuclear fusion, which will be achieved forever thirty years later. And many remain VC favorites. The most famous one is definitely the Immigration to Mars program.

By the way, since the failure of the Biosphere 2 program, immigration to Mars has actually been a pseudoscience in the scientific community. You can't survive? Do you still emigrate Cai Guoqing? No matter how good your rocket research is, are you ready to transport the urn? With a scientific attitude, at least start the research plan of Biosphere 3 first? However, venture capital does not pay attention to this at all, anyway, people are stupid and have a lot of money, so they will cheat money to raise funds and go public first.

Closer to home, not all favorites have been unsuccessful. Among these six hot topics, such as computer IT, artificial intelligence, superconductivity and new materials, and biotechnology, have all made great progress across the era. And among them, computer IT and biotechnology have quite a lot of similarities.

As for Zhu Guoliang, he is not very familiar with the computer IT industry, and he is only half of the industry in biotechnology. With the development of biochemistry, biochemistry, and science and technology, biology and chemistry have become interdisciplinary sciences that are inseparable, so Zhu Guoliang is quite familiar with the current fanatical venture capital in the biological industry. In fact, similar to the computer IT industry at this time, as long as there is a small breakthrough or just a concept, venture capital will rush to seek a listing and the stock price will skyrocket.

The only difference is that biotechnology research requires a high level of expertise, especially in expensive experimental equipment. Computer IT may only need a good performance computer, plus a fat house with brains and technology.

So Zhu Guoliang asked with a smile with a hint of temptation: "Then have you found investment in the United States?"

Jing Jian did not deny this. He replied half-truthfully: "Luckily, with a few partners." But now I only have shares, and I can't control that company at all. Zhu Lao, in fact, it's really nothing, at that time it was just nonsense in my spare time, and the only good thing is that I don't have to worry about living expenses anymore. ”

"It's good to have no worries. Zhu Guoliang smiled, "No wonder, so many people know you, and you have a lot of friends abroad." Zhu Guoliang didn't ask in detail, he thought that Jing Jian had millions of dollars at most. Of course, in the concept of the Chinese at this time, several million dollars is already astronomical.

Speaking of this, Jing Jian glanced at the bus he was on, and didn't find Yan Kun and Lu Liang, so he smiled and told Zhu Guoliang what had just happened. It doesn't mean anything else, it's just a joke mentality.

Zhu Guoliang is the same, the same thing is not his business. He smiled and instructed Jing Jian: "You don't care about this matter, if others have anything to say, I will block it for you." However, Yan Gong was unlucky enough, he couldn't eat the mutton, and he made a fuss. Those of us who engage in scientific research sometimes think about it, but after the results, we don't get the same improvement in our lives as you do abroad. ”

So Jing Jian smiled casually: "I think the national policy should also be changed, and we can't let the horses run and the horses don't eat grass." It's not that dedication is not advocated, there should always be some incentive mechanism, right?"

"Uh-huh. Zhu Guoliang empathized, "Take your time!"
