Chapter 110: Prologue to the Finals

Sit in the CBS TV studio hall and watch all kinds of people busy on and off the stage. Duke was a little excited in his novelty, but more nervous, and his palms were already full of sweat when he just sat on the seat of the competition.

He couldn't help but be nervous, after all, since he was a child, except for the last time he participated in the MIT robot competition, the number of people he directly faced did not exceed one class, not to mention that he only needed to operate his own robot in that competition, and he didn't have to say anything to the audience at all.

Although Duke's introverted personality has improved a lot now, he still can't help but feel a sense of fear in front of so many strangers.

This kind of psychological weakness that comes from personality is not something that can be easily overcome.

What's more, the atmosphere of this live competition is completely different from the last time, not only are there hidden competitors, aggressive judges, hundreds of professional spectators on the scene, but also directly face the countless TV viewers outside the camera.

This time it was a real big scene.

Originally, Duke resolutely refused to play, he was afraid that he would mess up the game due to his own factors, and the number of people participating in the on-site defense competition was required to be three people from each team, so Duke automatically excluded himself and invited three beauties to appear together.

It's a pity that this suggestion was ruthlessly rejected by everyone.

It's not that everyone uses this thing to hone Duke, but because for the brainwave technology used in this venture, a group of beauties from liberal arts backgrounds have never understood it.

Of course, this kind of cutting-edge science, for the most part, is already very difficult to understand in such a short period of time, whether it is science or liberal arts.

Because the related technologies involved in brainwave technology are very cutting-edge. Whether it is artificial intelligence processing or brain biochemical reactions, it is a kind of heavenly existence for ordinary people, and only with a supercomputer freak like Kerry can it be possible to have a deep understanding of this science in a short period of time.

Therefore, Duke is an irreplaceable gold player, and all technical problems must be explained by him on the spot.

Of course, for Duke, today is the final final, and in front of hundreds of millions of spectators, I believe that the judges should ask very few purely technical questions, so for most of the time, Duke should be a green leaf.

In terms of technology, Duke was chosen, and the one who controls the overall situation is naturally Shu Ya, and for the commentary, Susanna, a real campus anchor, should be an excellent candidate to deal with this kind of scene. In this way, Selena had to be reduced to the audience cheering for everyone.

I have to say that this match is still very eye-catching, Duke has been completely new in temperament and image after more than a year of major events that ordinary people can't imagine in their lives, and his deep eyes seem to have a bit of an expert's style.

And the clothing is impeccable, a black suit is straight and stylish, which Suzanne specially made for today's appearance in a very famous ready-to-wear store in Boston.

And Suzanne and Shu Ya are also wearing a customized sky blue skirt, which looks dignified and capable, coupled with the styling made by a famous stylist, just from the appearance, the image of the three representatives of MI company has a bit of an idol taste, compared with several other participating teams, they have won a lot in image.

So in addition to Duke's inner nervousness, Shu Ya and Suzanne sat calmly in their positions, the two of them were originally outstanding people, one was a devil figure, the other was an angel face, and at this time the two of them sat on the stage, it was already a beautiful scenery, and the two beautiful eyes were shining, although the game had not yet started, it had really attracted the attention of many audiences.

Seeing that he seemed to have attracted the attention of many people from the audience, Duke's face became even hotter. The heart is pounding, it's like completing a 100-meter sprint, calm, be calm!

Duke kept telling himself, began to take deep breaths, and then looked inward, trying to eliminate the influence of the outside world on himself, now that he has sat on this stage, although victory or defeat is no longer important to him, but Duke must do his best to fight for the final victory.

This is Duke's mantra, to do his best.

In fact, the entrepreneurial project of MI is supported by the huge sales results in the past, and even if it wins the final victory in this competition, it is no longer a fantasy.

According to Duke's prior understanding, the biggest competitor in this competition is the biochip testing project, which ranks very high in both technology and market professional evaluations.

It is said that the biochip detection technology developed by the team can easily detect dozens of common cancer symptoms. And the accuracy rate is also very high.

If this is a major breakthrough in cancer detection, as described in their business plan, there is no doubt about its commercial value.

Compared with the traditional PETCT test, which can only confirm the diagnosis by biopsy and pathology, it is not only convenient but also has an overwhelming advantage in price.

You must know that the traditional cancer examination costs tens of thousands of yuan.

Therefore, this technology has been evaluated very highly by experts in the previous competition, but there is one problem, that is, this technology is still in the laboratory stage, and no one knows when it will be applied to the clinic.

Despite this, VCs have come up with $300 million to $500 million valuations for the technology, which is really high for a product that is still in the lab.

Considering the huge uncertainties involved, investing in this technology is a real test of VC vision and, of course, luck.

Venture capital like this is not profitable if it is wrong, and if it is right, it is dozens or even hundreds of times the return, which truly reflects the characteristics of high risk and high return.

In contrast, Duke's brainwave technology products are a bit niche and non-mainstream. Of course, the information about MI's hot sales has not yet spread. No venture capital foundation has been so quick to focus on a start-up that has been around for less than half a year.

Otherwise, with the current sales performance of MI company, the view of venture capitalists will be a different scene, so it is not easy to do venture capital, not only to have a huge imagination, but also to have a large amount of information analysis.

In addition to the biochip detection technology project, another thing that deserves Duke's attention is a more alternative e-commerce company, which has a unique network location technology, which is said to directly locate potential consumers through network information.

In the six months since the start-up, this technology has brought them millions of potential users, and it is said that it has achieved hundreds of millions of dollars in sales.

The web has always been a place where miracles work, and this unique e-commerce company is a favorite among VCs. The VC judges scored the top three in the market.

Although the other events have their own characteristics, they are relatively inferior to these two sports, so if they are aiming to win the championship, they still lack this strength.

Compared with these two biggest competitors, MI now has one of the biggest advantages is that the momentum of development is very strong, the gap between the profit of 200 million and the sales of hundreds of millions is really too big, as long as Duke can convince the audience and judges present, their market prospects are also very bright, this championship must be in their bag.
