Chapter 274: A Key Man

The meeting time was set for the 6th, which happened to be sunny and a good day to travel.

This is not a professional business meeting, it is just an occasion to meet friends and meet at a yacht club, and they plan to take a yacht out to sea.

It's as if talking about projects is just incidental and not that important, and going to play is the right thing to do.

Lu Zhou, who was particularly interested in this party, had to behave as casually as possible, and the entertainment occasion was too formal but seemed to be too hurried, so he only downloaded the project plan to his mobile phone and did not carry paper documents.

Lu Zhou appeared at the yacht club in casual clothes, pretending that he was just here to meet new friends and have fun by the way.

In fact, he has a lot more purpose.

"Lu Zhou! Here! ”

A call attracted Lu Zhou's attention.

The person who called him was Zhang Chen, and there were two other people standing next to him, one was Zhang Chen's eldest brother Zhang Zhixuan, Lu Zhou had met at Gao Ting'an's birthday banquet that year; The other is his target today, Guo Junhua, who has never met before, and today is the first time the two have met.

Lu Zhou walked quickly towards Zhang Chen's place.

"Brother Jun Hua, he is the friend I said about the AI project, Lu Zhou."

When Lu Zhou came to him, Zhang Chen introduced Zhang Zhixuan and Guo Junhua beside him.

"I know who he is, the famous Lu star, I often listen to his songs." Guo Junhua looked at Lu Zhou with a smile, his eyes were a little surprised, "I just didn't expect that you were doing that AI project." ”

Guo Junhua wears a blue sports shirt, a pair of loose black sports shorts, a pair of black-framed glasses, and a well-groomed short hair style, with a quarter of white hair mixed with black hair.

He was very polite, took the lead in stretching out his hand to Lu Zhou, and introduced himself: "Hello, I'm Guo Junhua. ”

At this time, Zhang Chen followed up in time to introduce him: "Lu Zhou, Brother Jun Hua, he is the current president of the Huaxia District of Shimmer Technology. ”

Lu Zhou smiled and shook hands with Guo Junhua politely, "Mr. Guo, look up for a long time!" ”

"You're about the same age as Zhang Chen, aren't you? Just follow him and call me Brother Junhua, don't look at my gray hair and think I'm very old, and I'm old enough to shout honorifics, in fact, I am Zhixuan's high school classmate, let's go out to play together today, there is no need to call Mr. Guo so angry. ”

Guo Junhua patted Lu Zhou's arm and said with a smile.

Zhang Zhixuan, who was next to him, laughed when he heard this, and teased: "Although we are the same age, you look much older than me, Uncle Guo." ”

Zhang Zhixuan joked with his friends, and his mouth was also quite damaged.

Zhang Chen glanced at his eldest brother with an indescribable expression, and said in his heart: Your age is also an uncle, how can you open this mouth to complain about your classmates?

Guo Junhua shook his head speechlessly at Zhang Zhixuan, "Uncle Zhang, you don't have to laugh at fifty steps and take a hundred steps." ”

Lu Zhou smiled beside him.

"My daughter is your fan." The topic turned a corner and returned to Lu Zhou, Guo Junhua took out his mobile phone and hoped to take a photo with him to bring back to make his daughter happy.

Lu Zhou naturally did not refuse, and took the initiative to give away two VIP concert tickets.

Zhang Zhixuan couldn't help but complain that Guo Junhua was chasing stars today.

Zhang Chen shouted, "What about my concert tickets? Lu Zhou quipped: "You are not my fan, you want to watch the concert and buy your own tickets." ”

Zhang Chen: "I'll go, whether it's friendship or not, you really have to fight with that person." ”

Lu Zhou: "Who?" ”

Zhang Chen: "Ye Fangfei! ”

Lu Zhou embarrassed: "What's wrong with her......"

Zhang Chen: "Don't mention it, I wanted to take a friend to see "The Raidon Project" and asked her to go through the back door to help me get a charter for Xingda Cinema, but she refused to live or die, saying that I was at the box office. ”

Lu Zhou laughed.

Zhang Zhixuan, who was walking in front, glanced back at Zhang Chen, "I won't help you with this." ”

The four of them got on the yacht while talking and laughing.

Preparing to go fishing in the open sea, on the way to the destination, the four of them sat on the deck and chatted, and the topic of chatting naturally went around to the artificial intelligence project that Lu Zhou was doing.

"I heard Zhang Chen say that the Zhiyu AI project, which was hotly discussed in the technology media during this time, was invested by you."

Guo Junhua was the first to mention this topic.

In fact, before coming to this party, Zhang Zhixuan mentioned to him, saying that Zhang Chen wanted to invest in an AI project recently, and hoped that he, a professional, could help check and initially assess whether the project was worth investing.

This trip, in addition to leisure and entertainment, is purposeful.

"It's really a project I did." Lu Zhou thought to himself, the main topic is finally here.

"Xiao Chen said that in order to do this project, you are about to smash all your net worth into it, is this true?" At this time, Zhang Zhixuan interjected and asked.

Lu Zhou glanced at Zhang Chen when he heard this, Zhang Chen spread his hands at him and said, "Isn't this what you said?" ”

Lu Zhou smiled and nodded in response: "There is indeed such a thing." ”

"The entertainment industry is your field of expertise, how can you want to spend so much capital to do artificial intelligence that you are not good at? If you want to make money, wouldn't it be nice to make a few more big movies? Raidon plans to do so successfully, and then shoot a second or third part, the box office will definitely not be bad, basically all of them are projects that make steady profits, isn't it more reliable to invest money in these than if you invest in AI? ”

Zhang Zhixuan had a mature and steady smile on his face, and every question he asked was hidden with temptation.

Lu Zhou didn't feel uncomfortable, in terms of business sense, Zhang Zhixuan was obviously much sharper than Zhang Chen, and he had a sophisticated atmosphere that had been in the shopping mall for a long time, and he was obviously not a master who was easy to fool.

But it doesn't matter, after all, Lu Zhou didn't plan to fool anyone today.

In the face of these questions, he behaved quite calmly, smiled, and said:

"Making money in the entertainment industry, for me, is not much of a challenge, if it is just to make money, I may choose to continue to stay in my comfort zone to play, but I don't just want to make money, it just so happens that I have some other personal pursuits."

"I think AI must be the way of the future, it's just a matter of whether it's coming sooner or later. If we can keep up with the technology in the future, then I believe that the concept of AI social life in the "Raidon Project" movie can also be realized in reality. “

"My current personal talent can only make a small contribution to music, and I can't make a technical contribution to AI, but I can contribute money, so I invested in the development of the Zhiyu project."

"Although I am not good at AI technology, I have a professional technical team behind me. At present, our Zhiyu project has made a lot of development progress in the industry. ”

As he spoke, Lu Zhou took out his mobile phone, opened the project plan he had prepared a long time ago, showed them the data that had actually achieved actual results and progress, and explained them in detail one by one.

After Guo Junhua finished reading the internal development progress of the entire project, he raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Zhou thoughtfully.

"The speed of your development is still a bit amazing."

He was surprised.

Some time ago, there were a lot of dynamic reports about the project of Zhiyu in the science and technology circle, and he paid a little attention to it, but at that time he didn't think that these project teams that had never heard of any reputation could toss any real tricks.

Moreover, the product has not yet been developed, so it is engaged in gimmick warm-up on the Internet, obviously trying to speculate on concept financing.

In addition, the direction of the development of this project is somewhat similar to a small branch project of the headquarters of Microlight Technology in recent years, so he is not very interested.

But now that he read their proposal, it was really beyond his expectations.

This project is not simple, and it needs to be focused on. Guo Junhua came to such a conclusion in his heart.

"I personally think so, we have a very solid professional team, and the whole project has been relatively smooth from the beginning of the project to the present."

In the face of Guo Junhua's recognition, Lu Zhou was not modest.

He knew that this was not the time to be humble, he had to build up his confidence and show the charm of their project and the team in front of Guo Junhua as much as possible.

"At this development speed, I guess, your capital chain should be a little unable to keep up now, right?" Guo Junhua asked with a smile.

Guo Junhua is worthy of being an industry insider, and he sees through it at a glance.

Lu Zhou was not afraid to reveal, and said honestly: "The capital is indeed a little tight, so we are currently considering introducing capital." ”

Guo Junhua nodded when he heard this.

Zhang Chen was still holding Lu Zhou's mobile phone and pondering the project plan, the font was not big, and it was a little difficult to read under the swaying of the yacht, and he even felt a little dizzy when he looked at it.

"Lu Zhou, can you send me this plan? I'll go back and look into it. Zhang Chen simply stopped looking at it and decided to go back and talk about it.

Lu Zhou: "Yes." ”

A few people chatted and chatted, and the yacht unconsciously drove to the sea fishing area.

Negotiation is terminated and fishing begins.

The four of them returned to the shore after having fun, Lu Zhou left alone, and Zhang Chen, Zhang Zhixuan and Guo Junhua took the same car in another direction.

In the car, Zhang Chen asked Guo Junhua with great interest: "Brother Junhua, after chatting with Lu Zhou today, what do you think of his AI project?" Is there a lot of potential? Is it worth the investment? ”

Guo Junhua was wiping the dust on his glasses with a tissue, and after hearing this, he thought for a moment before replying: "Judging from the information he provided today, it is indeed tricky. ”

When Zhang Chen heard this, he looked at his eldest brother Zhang Zhixuan excitedly, "Then it seems that my judgment is correct, I heard him say it at the time, and I thought he could do this project." ”

"But ......" At this time, Guo Junhua suddenly took a turn, he put on his clean glasses, smiled, and continued:

"The authenticity of the information he provided has yet to be verified, and if the information is very high, it is easy to enter the pit if you don't invest well in valuation. And this direction of their research and development, the later stage is the real technical difficulty, it is not so simple to overcome, with the domestic development level of the final project can not be completed, it is difficult to say. ”

The passion that had just been ignited in Zhang Chen's heart was extinguished a lot by these words.

Zhang Zhixuan answered: "At present, there are many people in China who are doing their AI direction?" ”

Guo Junhua: "There is not much media exposure, but it stands to reason that large companies will invest in it, and there are many similar R&D projects that have to be cut in half without exposure." ”

Zhang Chen leaned on the back of the chair and asked, "Then do you think Lu Zhou is worth investing in?" ”

Guo Junhua pushed the frame on the bridge of his nose, raised his lips and smiled, "Whether it's worth it or not, you have to judge for yourself, I can only tell you that this project done by Lu Zhou is quite avant-garde." As for how high the success rate is, more information is needed to support the assessment. ”

Zhang Chen: "Okay. Then I'll take a look at it after I get to know it clearly. ”

Guo Junhua let out a low "um", took out his mobile phone to browse the recent science and technology project reports, found the one about Zhiyu, and forwarded it to his reporter at the global headquarters of Shimmer Technology:
