Chapter 252: Invitation to Cooperation on the Other Side (Happy Double Festival!) )
The plane landed safely at the airport on the outskirts of the magic capital, Chen Shen and two guards stepped down from the plane, and soon saw a team of people coming over.
"Chief Master Chen, we are sent by the company to greet you." The first man with an inch in front of the group walked over, obviously a security guard hired by the company.
Behind him, in addition to a few staff members who were obviously also security guards, there was also a middle-aged woman, who was none other than Ren Guixiang, the angular head of the Ministry of Human Resources.
Chen Shen greeted a few people, and after briefly checking their identities, he drove with their car to the hotel where they were staying.
Ren Guixiang was in the same car as Chen Shen, and she was talking about tomorrow's arrangements.
"Tomorrow there will be a completion ceremony, when there will be many heads of agencies, and in addition to the domestic personnel, the WHO Director-General Ted ...... invited to the ceremony"
When Chen Shen heard this, he was a little surprised: "Why is it that even the Director-General of the WHO has been invited here?" ”
It was not surprising to him that he had invited any institution or person in his country, but it was really unexpected to invite the WHO Director-General to him.
The Director-General of the WHO, who is also the chief technical and administrative officer, is colloquially called the top leader, and it is not so easy to invite a figure of this rank.
At least in terms of the current level of the edges, they are not qualified.
Ren Guixiang explained: "The invitation list is in charge of the magic capital, and the project of the intelligent photoacoustic detection center is a large-scale public health project, and according to you, it will have a significant impact on the world's medical care in the future, so Mr. Ted will agree to come, and he also said that he wants to meet with you." ”
Chen Shen nodded, WHO's purpose and responsibilities are related to public health and disease prevention and control, and the testing center project is perfectly matched.
And the volume of the testing center project is large enough, although only one testing center has been built now, but according to the information disclosed before, as long as the photoacoustic testing is effective, the testing center will cover the whole country sooner or later.
Such a project is definitely called the project of the last century, and it is related to public health, plus the initiative to invite, where is the reason why WHO can't come?
But......
"He wants to meet me?"
"Mr. Ted said he wanted to see you, and he was very curious about you." Ren Guixiang said and smiled, "He also said that he wanted your autograph and took it back to motivate his grandson." ”
Chen Shen was a little speechless, as if everyone had gotten his autograph so far to take it home to inspire their children and even grandchildren......
"Then tomorrow after the completion ceremony, arrange for me to meet with him." Chen Shen said.
"Okay." Ren Guixiang nodded and wrote down the matter.
The vehicle quickly drove to the Hilton Hotel.
This is the nearest five-star hotel to the testing center, and it is also the designated reception place for the corner.
Now it's bustling with activity, and the number of luxury cars in the parking lot has more than doubled compared to usual.
The guests who come and go are all in suits and leather shoes, and their skin colors and accents are also mixed with Chinese and foreign.
All of these people are invited from home and abroad, as well as representatives of various medical groups.
To put it mildly, a stone was thrown from here to hit ten people, at least three were executives from various medical groups, three were academics participating in international seminars, three were representatives of various institutions, and the remaining one was an employee of the hotel.
Walking out of the arranged room, Chen Shen was about to go to eat something, and an acquaintance came out of the next room, it was Li Jun.
"Chief Master, you're here too." Suddenly seeing Chen Shen, Li Jun showed a look of surprise on his face.
"Aren't you here too?" Chen Shendao, he didn't expect Li Jun to live next door to him.
However, Li Jun, as the person in charge of the intelligent center, also participated in the construction of the intelligent testing center, and it is normal to participate in the completion ceremony.
"How's the progress of the scientific intelligent assistant you told you last time?"
"Now that the algorithm has been perfected, the dataset for training is being made, and it is estimated that it will take about a month......
The two of them talked about the science assistant as they descended the elevator to the hotel's cafeteria, which had turned into a huge social arena with a variety of characters.
Business executives and institutional representatives in well-suited suits, well-mannered or unkempt scholars, the two sides are divided into factions, occupying each other's sides, and both business and academia are chatting vigorously.
Chen Shen had just walked into the restaurant when he took a little food and planned to find a place to sit down with Li Jun.
An exclamation suddenly sounded next to him, and the originally lively atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly stopped, and many people turned their heads to look over, and they couldn't help but show shocked expressions, and some unknown people were quickly reminded by the people next to them.
"That's Chen Shen, that genius!"
"He's here? I can't be mistaken, right? ”
"It's the first time I've seen him in person!"
"Nonsense, who of you here isn't seeing him for the first time?"
Most of the people present relied on Lingxi headphones to communicate with each other, but when they said the word "Chen Shen", they could be very standard, and they couldn't hear any out-of-tune at all.
After a short pause, everyone walked towards Chen Shen in unison.
The two factions that were originally vaguely separated in the restaurant actually gathered together because of one person.
Now Chen Shen's position is the only focus of the restaurant.
"Mr. Chen, our group wants to cooperate with the Edges and Corners Research Center, this is my business card......"
"Mr. Chen, can you tell us some details about the photoacoustic detection? How does it decode and reconstruct human body information? ”
"Does the photoacoustic scanner you invented really exist? Can you issue a detailed paper proof of your previously proposed theory? ”
"I'd like to talk to you about the details related to brain-computer technology......"
Among the speakers were business executives and scholars of various factions, whose specialties included many subdivisions of medicine and biology......
Chen Shen looked at these people who wrote enthusiasm on their faces, and he couldn't help but sweat dripping from his head.
Only then did he remember that this seemed to be his first appearance in public, and it was no wonder that these people were so enthusiastic, even crazy.
However, these people still know how to measure, enthusiasm is enthusiasm, and they still keep a distance from him.
Facing these people, Chen Shen swallowed the food in his mouth and said with a cold expression: "I just came here to eat hungry, and I have no intention of discussing any issues with you, please go back." ”
"This ......"
Looking at Chen Shen's indifferent performance without looking at them, everyone present looked at each other, and after standing in place for a while, they had to leave one after another.
After all, they are all characters with heads and faces, so they won't be dead and don't leave.
However, although he left, everyone's eyes still drifted to Chen Shen intentionally or unintentionally, and as long as he talked to other people, these people would immediately surround him again.
Chen Shen bowed his head and ate the food peacefully, leaving Li Jun alone beside him to sigh.
Suddenly, an elderly man with a hooked nose and a wide forehead walked over.
Chen Shen frowned, and was about to repeat what he had just said, when he heard the old man introduce himself: "I am Newsom, professor of neurobiology and director of the Institute of Neuroscience at Stanford University School of Medicine. ”
Newsom ......
Chen Shen had some impression of this name, and that was when he first started to study the brain-computer field, and he had read this person's paper.
And if he remembers correctly, this person is still an academician of the Academy of Sciences opposite.
A proper academic figure.
"You may be seated." Chen Shen stood up and shook hands with him as a sign of respect.
"Thank you." Newsom smiled, then pointed to the Lingxi headphones on his ear, and said with a smile: "Your artificial intelligence technology has made a very shocking breakthrough, although it is not yet able to serve as an academic translator, but it has saved us a lot of trouble in our daily life in a foreign country. ”
"Thanks for the compliment." Chen Shen smiled and nodded.
Li Jun also interjected beside him: "We are continuing to improve Bai Ze's language translation model, and I believe that soon it will be able to serve as the official translator of the academic conference." ”
"If you can achieve it, I believe that this technology will greatly reduce the communication cost of scholars, and I am very much looking forward to it."
Newsom was indeed impressed by the angular artificial intelligence technology, but that wasn't what he came there for.
Newsom thought for a moment, and then said: "In addition to artificial intelligence, I think your brain-computer technology is also amazing, and your device has reached an incredible level of capturing and decoding cranial nerve signals, even the results achieved by our research institute are far inferior to yours. ”
Chen Shen already knew his intention, this was most likely because the research had encountered a bottleneck, and he wanted to find a breakthrough through him, so after eating the food on the plate in a few bites, he wiped his mouth and said, "Thank you for the compliment." ”
Other than that, there is no superfluous word.
This left Newsom a little embarrassed.
Chen Shen was indeed not wrong, their research on cranial nerve signals has now reached a bottleneck, and throughout the world, there is no doubt that the angular brain-computer department has the most advanced cranial nerve research materials.
From the advent of the Nezha generation to the present, it is rare to hear of an accident with an incorrect signal interpretation.
That's why Newsom came to participate in this seminar, originally just planning to get in touch with the edges and corners here, but he didn't expect to meet Chen Shen himself here, which was a big surprise.
"We have a brain science program that has a lot of brain-related projects, and we have all the top neuroscientists in the country. I'm the chair of this working group, and maybe we and your company can do an international collaboration on neuroscience, and I believe that the results of our collaboration can benefit all of humanity. ”
If the person sitting opposite was not Chen Shen, Newsom would never have said the words of cooperation so readily, which is an act of self-depreciation.
Because to put it bluntly, their working group is definitely the top cranial nerve research group in the world at present, and if there is anyone in the world who can solve the secrets of the human brain, their working group is definitely the strongest contender.
Newsom was confident that as long as Chen Shen knew something about them, he would not refuse this invitation to cooperate.
It is impossible for any country or company to refuse their invitation to international cooperation.
Unless that company is engaged in a business that has nothing to do with cranial nerves......
He was indeed right, when Chen Shen heard this invitation to cooperate, he really didn't expect him to say this.
He had thought that Newsom was just trying to get information.
It's just that after thinking about it carefully, he still shook his head:
"The process of international cooperation is too cumbersome, and Edges is still a small company that does not have the conditions to carry out such an international project."
Newsom: "......"
He is not an old man who does not pay attention to current affairs, but he is eager to ask, when will a company with a global reputation and an annual turnover of more than two billion US dollars be called a small company?
It's separated by the Pacific Ocean, so the classification criteria are different?
And how could his offer be rejected so quickly?
Could it be that the other party is worried about the influence of public opinion?
Newsom suddenly felt that he had found the reason, after all, their working group was a state institution, and if Angjiao cooperated with their foreign institution alone, it would inevitably be influenced by public opinion, and perhaps even criticized as a "traitor".
For this problem, it is very simple to solve it, and they have already had a plan.
Newsom adjusted his thoughts, and quickly said: "Actually, I will discuss the cooperation intention with your Chinese Academy of Sciences this time, as long as you agree, our cooperation can be directly attached to this cooperation project." ”
The official Chinese Academy of Sciences has cooperated with them, and if Edges and Corners cooperate with them, there will naturally be no influence of public opinion.
Newsom looked at Chen Shen with expectant eyes.
If Chen Shen's concerns were as he thought, then after hearing this, he should reconsider his proposal just now.
It's just that Chen Shen looked at his eyes, but he felt a little inexplicable.
Chen Shen touched his head, and then said: "Thank you for the reminder, if it weren't for you, I really didn't know that there would be this cooperation between the Chinese Academy of Sciences and your organization." ”
"I'm done eating, please."
After Chen Shen finished speaking, he left with Li Jun, who had already finished eating.
This time it was Newsom's turn to feel inexplicable.
……
"Chief Master, why didn't you agree to that professor's proposal just now? I think I might want to try it, maybe it will be good for the company? Li Jun followed Chen Shen, puzzled by Chen Shen's rejection of the cooperation proposal just now.
"This matter has nothing to do with you, I will take care of it." Chen Shen had no intention of explaining to Li Jun.
It's just that he just returned to the room and immediately called Wang Qian.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked Newsom about the cooperation he had just mentioned.
"Cooperate with the Chinese Academy of Sciences?" Wang Qian also didn't know about this matter, but her news channels were very wide, and she quickly confirmed this statement.
"Recently, the other side has indeed made this invitation to cooperate with us, and the brain science project on the other side is very supportive, and if there are no accidents, we will agree to their cooperation."
Listening to Wang Qian's words, Chen Shen frowned......
