Chapter 1132: Papaya

Honolulu International Airport, cloudy.

Hurricane Hillary dissipated and the airport finally reopened, and the main runway jutting into the sea was busy, with planes of all sizes taking off and heading from side to west.

As soon as the red-tailed Boeing 787 in front flew away, the tower immediately notified the Jade Bird to enter the main runway.

Two Rolls-Royce BR725 turbofan engines roared and spewed heat backwards, pushing the slender fuselage to accelerate towards the end of the runway.

Before they could reach the end, the wheels left the ground one after another, and the passengers in the cabin felt their bodies sinking, and then they saw the building outside the window quickly become shorter and disappear.

When the plane jumped out of the clouds and turned into cruising, everyone looked relieved and opened their seat belts one after another.

The blue sky and sea clouds outside have long been tired of seeing, but no one pays attention to them anymore. At first, everyone just watched movies, played games, and brushed scarves, but I don't know who started, and soon talked about the gains and regrets of this trip.

This year's CVPR has ended, and although the paper of the Bee Research Institute was not rated as the best, it still relied on many black technology products to attract a group of fans. Aside from the current hot topics such as neural networks, pattern recognition, and intelligent tagging, the concept of "reality dream" is even more unique and ostentatious, which not only attracts the curiosity of the general public, but also the attention of academia and even industry.

The so-called "real dream" is actually the trade name of BMA-VR brain-computer augmented virtual reality technology.

The reason for this name is mainly based on two considerations:

First, the public still has doubts about "brain-computer interface" and "brain reading and writing". While enthusiasts fanatically look forward to the future of "back-of-the-head intubation", pessimists among ordinary people are terrified of a "matrix"-style future. In order to avoid suspicion and even ethical attacks on new creatures from the outside world, they had to borrow a shell to develop in a low-key manner.

Second, the concept of "VR" has been flooded, and the market is full of low-priced, clumsy mobile phone VR boxes, and the grade of VR equipment has been lowered a lot by pig teammates.

For two reasons, the bee simply took the initiative to cut and start anew, replacing it with the "Real Dream RD" with its own trademark.

As it turned out, the bee renamed the ministry and made a lot of contributions, and the new name was very popular. Whether it is a researcher or an ordinary person, the vast majority of people can dream, everyone is curious about dreams, and the "real dreams" of bees have successfully captured these curiosities and needs, which naturally attracts a lot of attention. Affected by this, the organizers of the conference sold a lot of tickets, and the barber shop near the convention and exhibition center also had a thriving business, taking over a lot of head shaving business.

When those newly baked bald heads put on RD helmets full of brain electrodes, they soon found that their efforts were worth it, and the performance of "Real Dreams" was definitely "amazing", and many people said on the spot that they wanted to buy one and go back to play. It's just a pity that this thing is still an incomplete laboratory product, and the bee team can only refuse them.

The purchase request was rejected, and the average science and technology enthusiast could only regret leaving, while researchers in the same field made up their minds to go back and carefully read the relevant papers of the Bee Research Institute, and make a replica version by themselves to play first.

And those industrial colleagues with deep pockets hit the idea on the team, and it was too slow to study papers, reproduce experiments, imitate and catch up, far less simple, quick, easy and pleasant than digging the foot of the wall. Digging into the wall can not only get instant combat power, but also make the opponent lose experienced veterans, which is simply the best way to strengthen yourself and hurt the enemy. As for liquidated damages, non-competition and so on, they are nothing to large companies with deep pockets and vests all over the world.

In just a few days, everyone in the entire Bee brain-computer team received the temptation of seduction from the headhunting company, either explicitly or covertly, which made everyone unbearable, so they had to cancel the original travel vacation plan and hurriedly return to China to hide. Oahu was hit head-on by Hurricane Hillary, causing not only 5 dead and 13 injured people, but also greatly damaged the surrounding natural scenery. Although the American-style restoration and reconstruction is very interesting, everyone still decided to return to China first and come back when they have time.

While they were busy with the mountains, the two flight attendants had already walked through the passage into the back kitchen, preparing tea, fruit plates and snacks for everyone.

Tea is brought from China, and the aroma of hot water immediately overflows. The snacks are purchased locally, and they have been processed before, and they are not troublesome to handle by cutting the package and putting it in the microwave to heat it up a little. The real trouble is the variety of local fruits, the tropical climate is rainy and humid, and most of the fruits are covered with a thick, waterproof skin to fight the fungus, and in order to enjoy the sweet taste, you must first prepare a knife to peel and remove the seeds.

The Hawaiian Islands have a long history of growing fruit trees, and many uninhabited islands were once designated as "fruit islands" where a large number of single fruit trees were planted. In modern times, these islands have been transformed into "tourist islands" by their owners, but the name of tropical orchards has not been completely lost, and colorful fruits are still Hawaii's most important label. On the way back, the delegation bought a lot of special gifts, including a variety of seasonal fruits. However, they don't have the consciousness to give gifts that they can't eat, and when the plane lands, the fruit gift will definitely be a lot less.

It didn't take long for the two flight attendants to push the dining cart out, and Wen Yan asked the passengers on both sides what they wanted.

Under the angry glares of the ladies, the men retreated one after another, silently picking up the bananas, mangoes, and guavas on the plates, leaving only the golden papaya pieces for the beautiful scientists.

A few people from the School of Information Science and Technology of Egret University stayed in the local area, and only their own people from the Bee Research Institute were on this flight. This is also their confidence to let go of their reserve, eat more and occupy more, there are no outsiders present, so naturally there is no need to care about the external image, and it is not a big deal to be a little unrestrained.

There are actually two main types of papaya.

A class of several papaya plants from the native Rosaceae family, their flowers and fruits are quite similar to the apple genus of the same Rosaceae, and the commonly said begonias, papayas, wrinkled-skinned papayas, and glossy-skinned papayas are their flowers and fruits. Generally speaking, the variety called "Begonia" is usually used for flower viewing and leaf viewing, and the variety called "papaya" is used for fruit picking and medicine.

Because of the lack of cultivation improvement, the fruit of the local genuine papaya has an astringent taste, high lignin and low sugar. Therefore, the verse "Vote for me with papaya, repay me with Qiongju" in the "Book of Songs" actually describes the scene of infatuated courtship. The suitor was smashed with a hard papaya, pearwood, and plum head, but he still sent Qiongju Meiyu with an infatuated heart, just asking for "forever good".

The papaya, the "holy fruit of breast enlargement" that modern people talk about, is actually the fruit of the papaya family, because the peel is green when it is not ripe, it is also known as green papaya.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, they were brought from the Americas to Asia by European colonists and gradually spread, so there is a "fan" character in front of them. Native to Central America, the papaya tree was later brought around the world by plantation owners and became a more mainstream tropical crop variety, and it is naturally cultivated in Hawaii as a Pacific orchard.

The name of this thing for beauty, beauty, breast enhancement and slimming is too big, and it naturally occupies the majority of the "fruit order", but most of them are half-ripe green papayas, which can only be used to make soup. The ones that are ripe and yellow and can be eaten raw have been peeled and cut into small pieces at this time, and put them on a small plate and sent them to everyone.

When the dining cart was pushed in front of him, Atletico ignored the threatening gaze of someone opposite, Shi Shiran reached out and picked up the plate containing the golden papaya pieces, pinched the toothpick and inserted it into his mouth.

Seeing that the boss took the lead in eating sweetly, the other men also put down their reserves, reached out to take it, and quickly emptied the already small inventory.

Naturally, the ladies made eye contact with each other, and soon one of them came out in protest.

Lu Xinquan stood up and snatched away the empty plate in front of Atletico Madrid, "What are you doing rushing to eat this?

Although it is not as exaggerated as Mr. Bodybuilder, Atletico Madrid also has a chest, and the bust difference is enough to be A+, which is just one size bigger than the girl opposite.

Raising his head slightly, his chest muscles under his clothes bulged higher, and he glanced at the other party, "That's right." Why? Are you jealous, Dr. Lui?"

Because he was addicted to learning and couldn't extricate himself, Lu Xinquan ran back to school for graduate school not long after work, graduated with a master's degree and then went on to study for a doctorate, and just got a flat hat for a doctorate in brain science this year, becoming a neurobiologist like Shelton's girlfriend Amy Fowler.

However, Amy has her Shelton, while Lu Xinquan has become a "third sex: female doctor" in addition to men and women because of his addiction to study.

Among the four sisters in the dormitory, Tong Li and Tang Jiayi's children will play soy sauce, and even Tang Yue, who insists on not getting married, succumbed to family pressure and married a small civil servant through a blind date.

Lu Xinquan has long been accustomed to the strange scrutiny of others, so she naturally won't be angry because of this, but she still pretended to be annoyed and said: "What do you mean by that? Believe it or not, I'll change jobs when I go back? I'm the main research force of the brain-computer project!"

As a researcher in the direction of brain science, Lu Xinquan's signature ranking in bee-related papers is quite high, and he has naturally become the focus of attention of all parties. However, she has little interest in changing jobs, not to mention the two old friends with Tang Jiayi and his wife for more than ten years, just for the large number of bee virtual shares in her hands, she will not be able to change jobs.

Atletico Madrid also knew this, so they didn't take her threat seriously, and said with a smile: "You can jump if you want, the research institute has always been to stay at will, and never force it." ”

"The ghost will never be forced!" Lu Xinquan sat back in his place and glanced at someone, "I don't leave just for the sake of the face of the shares, if you take out the mandatory repurchase clause for resignation, watch me run to you in minutes!"

The journey was fine, and Atletico Madrid didn't mind chatting with everyone, and sighed with a smile: "Girl, be content! The company has a good conscience to repurchase shares at the market price, and many companies still insist on buying back at the original price." ”

In order to attract talents to form a community of interests, enterprises generally issue "executive shares" and "employee shares" in a targeted manner to bind interests with executives and core employees and share development dividends. The cost of acquiring these shares is usually lower than the market price, but there are a number of restrictions attached, one of which is the "exit buyback".

Fu Sheng, who was known as the "father of security guards", jumped to Yinshan, and the old owner took out a non-compete agreement and repurchased 200,000 shares worth 20 million shares of the original company under the former's name with 1 yuan, directing the tragedy of "jumping ship overnight and returning to the pre-liberation period". What's even funnier is that the former reversed the attack and said that he had never obtained equity warrants, and the forced redemption was purely to fool the public. However, what he said was also a little untrue, when Fu Sheng left, the digital factory had not yet been listed, and he only had options in his hand and did not have equity certificates.

There are also non-compete and mandatory buybacks in the bee employment contract, but the employee stock ownership platform buys back according to the purchase price of the virtual shares in the previous year, which is not good or bad.

Hearing Atletico Madrid's boasting, Dr. Lu immediately scoffed, turned his head to look around at his colleagues, and then looked at someone: "Are you embarrassed to say this? In addition to bees, have you seen any other Internet company with excellent performance but only 20 times the PE?"

Bee virtual shares are traded once a year, and the price is closely related to the group's earnings in the previous year, and the "stock price" is just 20 times the dividend per share of the previous year, that is, 20 times the "price-earnings ratio".

In traditional enterprises, the price-earnings ratio of 20 times is normal, after all, the growth of traditional industries is slow, and the prospects lack imagination, so naturally no one will buy stocks at a high price to bet on the future. However, for the high-growth network industry, 50 times PE seems to be low, otherwise there will not be so many so-called "demon stocks" of hundreds and thousands of times in the technology sector.

The reason for this is because Bee virtual shares are taught by a certain behavior, employees need to pay cash to obtain virtual shares, and the company uses this to obtain the cash needed for R&D and expansion, and then uses annual dividends as a return. If the company's performance is stagnant, 20 times PE means that the annual rate of return is only 5%, which is only a little better than the deposit bank, but it will not be able to outperform housing prices, GDP and inflation. Only by working together to promote the rapid growth of the business and continuously expand revenue and net profit can the actual P/E ratio continue to decrease, and then improve their investment returns.

From this point of view, bee virtual stocks are typical dividend-oriented, and those stocks that focus on value-added arbitrage are not the same thing at all. Everyone is afraid that the PE is too high and affects their investment plan, so they will not complain that the stock price is too low. Hearing Lu Xinquan's accusatory words, the others raised their foreheads and turned their heads, blushing for her low financial quotient.

Atletico Madrid was also shocked by her low financial quotient, and immediately touched her chest with her hand and made a heartache, "You know? I am very sad when you say this! So, since you are dissatisfied with the 20 times PE, how about waiting for the shareholders' meeting next year to give you a 200 times PE alone?"

At the critical moment, Dr. Lu's IQ finally took over, frowning and glaring at someone: "200 times, only a fool buys it!
