Chapter 406 Shocking news
The time was spent in the preparatory work of Bolin Holdings Investment. During this period, Wu Zaisheng would come over from time to time. Now the grandson is no longer nestled, but has become active in making friends with people from all walks of life in London.
Nanyi will spare time to invite Catherine to go out to watch the opera, and will also go for a walk along the Thames River. He has to fly to New York to see his son and pay a public ration, and he has to fly to the capital to see Liu Zhen. Open a room.
I also heard news in the Mainland that the ID card has started to be implemented, but it has to be piloted in the capital first, so it doesn't matter to him. He should continue to rely on the border defense card and passport to prove his identity.
Spinning continuously like a top, another page of the calendar on the wall was torn off, and the time entered April.
I called Men San'er and borrowed a sum of money from him to fill up the hole made by Sayuri Hagiwara last time.
It can only be borrowed first, the operation of olive oil futures still needs time to prepare, the olives are not yet mature, and Nanyi has not much private money in his hands, so he still has to save the money to make money.
When the investment pays off, Men San'er's money will be directly converted into investment funds and the profit will be returned to him. This is worthy of the friendship between the two.
April 6, the sixth day of March.
Nanyi and Masami Ueto walked around Juelu Street for a long time, but they didn't think about what kind of business they should do.
The two acted in front of Wu Zaisheng as a young couple who had just come to live in London. Since they wanted to settle down, it was impossible for them to sit and eat. No matter how big or small, they had to find some business first.
"Zihao, what do you think we do business?" Masami Ueto asked after walking half of Juelu Street.
"Chinese restaurants, takeaway stores, laundromats, and traditional Chinese medicine shops seem to be the only things that can be done." Nanyi also scratched his head a little. He was used to doing big business, but he forgot how to do small business.
"Will the business be a little smaller? Wu Zaisheng can see your ostentation, and if you don't show your strength, you won't be valued by the Wu family."
"It doesn't matter if the business is small. We are new here. If we directly start a big business, we will be underestimated by others. It would be too embarrassing to do so.
We don’t make profits when we are not familiar with each other, and we don’t invest if we are not familiar with it. We just need to start a small business, and then consider doing big business after getting familiar with London. This is in line with the thinking logic of a shrewd businessman.
Besides, we just need to make a move to look for opportunities, and we don't have to rush to invest, and we can explain the past after making a decision. "
As soon as Nan Yi finished speaking, the school belle walked up to him holding the phone, "Nan Sheng, President Guo Min from Li Jiapo called."
Hearing Guo Min's name, Nan Yi was taken aback for a moment, thinking that Guo Min would have something to do with him.
Guo Min is the president of No. 3 Biopharmaceutical. Although he is a biopharmaceutical-related major, he is not good at biopharmaceutical research. It can be said that Nan's recruited him in advance to prepare for No. 3 Biopharmaceutical's external business in the future.
And his current job is more to serve the researchers in the laboratory and solve their worries; Third Biopharmaceuticals also has a vice president, Erlanger, who is in charge of the company's research work.
"President Guo, what's the matter?"
"Mr. Nan, there is work to be reported in the laboratory." Guo Min said on the phone.
"Wait a minute, I'll call back in twenty minutes."
After Nanyi finished speaking, he hung up the phone and hurried back to the car with Uedo Masami.
The laboratory has work to report, and it will definitely not be finished in a few minutes. The standby time of the mobile phone is too short, and it may be forced to terminate the call at any time. It is better to call back directly with the satellite phone.
Back in the car, Nan Yi ordered to drive, found a quieter place, and then dialed back the phone.
It was no longer Guo Min who answered the phone, but Erlanger, "Boss, Galen made an unexpected discovery during his research."
Erlanger was very excited when he spoke, and Nan Yi was also a little excited.
Drug research relies on burning money. Experiments are repeated experiments. Repeated and repeated. Each repetition requires a lot of investment. No one knows when it will produce results.
Second, it depends on luck. If luck comes, a good result may be obtained in the first experiment, and a major discovery can bring tens of billions of dollars in return to the company.
Of course, this possibility is no higher than buying a lottery ticket that "plays probability rather than statistics", and it belongs to the category of big luck.
Generally speaking, it takes hundreds of millions, billions, or even billions of dollars to burn to see hope.
Nanyi didn't really believe that he had such great luck, but he was full of hope, suppressed his excitement, and asked calmly, "What did you find?"
"Valen touched the memory code of the hippocampus..."
"Wait, Erlanger, I'm not a biology student, and I don't know much about the brain. Please explain what the hippocampus is."
"Boss, let me tell you briefly, the hippocampus is responsible for the processing and storage of short-term memory, as well as the processing of spatial information."
"Like a hard drive, responsible for storing our short-term memory?"
"Uh, although it's not very accurate, it's okay to understand it this way. If we can unlock the memory code of the hippocampus, then memory backup and transplantation will become possible, and we can also transplant one person's memory to another's." in the brain.
Transplant the memory of a polymath into a carrier, and then implant this carrier into the brain of another person, then this person can instantly master a lot of knowledge, whether it is language or other professional knowledge. "
"Short-term memory, or permanent memory?"
"It's hard to say now, everything is just speculation and speculation, and we still have a long way to go."
"how long?"
"Years, decades, maybe..."
Erlanger didn't finish his sentence, but Nan Yi already knew what he wanted to express: it may not be successful, you are ready to pay a lot of money.
Nan Yi paused and said, "Let Warren give me a formal written report, try to be as detailed and simple as possible, with a budget attached."
"OK."
"Firstly."
Nanyi hung up the phone with trembling hands, memory transplantation, what an attractive topic, if he had never heard of "brain-computer interface", he would have simply rejected something as unrealistic as science fiction.
But he knows the brain-computer interface, and has read the article, so he knows what seemingly sci-fi functions can be realized if this thing is really successfully researched.
For example, mind control. In the last life, in 2014, the human exoskeleton that can be controlled by mind has been realized, although it is still very rudimentary.
But that has also proved that the brain-computer interface is not a fantasy, and it is indeed possible to realize it.
If the study of memory transplantation is really successful, then immortality becomes possible in a certain sense, and Nanyi can mass-produce "systems", so that frustrated people can experience the feeling of owning a system just like the one written in the novel.
"Ding, you opened the novice gift package and mastered 180 languages."
"Ding, you opened the upgrade package and mastered the memory of the world's top ten pianists..."
"Ding, you opened the super gift package, and your Nanguo bank account will increase by 10 million every day."
"Hey hey, it's my own bank anyway, and I just need someone to increase the number of his account every day. I can only see if I can't spend it. It's just a matter of adding a few extra zeros to adjust it to ten trillion or one trillion... ..."
Nanyi's thoughts drifted further and further, and his brain hole became bigger and bigger. After a while, he finally brought himself who was caught in obscenity back to reality.
"Damn it, you don't even need to do a detailed calculation to know how much money this research costs. But no matter how much money you have to invest, if you don't invest money in research for this kind of thing, what else is there to research?"
………………
Don't worry, this book is still realistic, and the things written in it all exist in reality, without any sci-fi content. It can be said that except for the point of "time travel", I am writing realistically, including that the protagonist is not a perfect person, and he is not capable of everything.
Including Nan Ruofing and Fan Hongdou, I used people that exist in reality as templates, and they did not transcend the category of "normal human beings" at all, but their templates were genius-type characters.
In addition, book friends who are still reading, you can rest assured that unless there is force majeure, I will definitely do my best to finish this book.
[I won't put this paragraph in the author's words, because I'm afraid that some other book friends won't see it. After a while, wait for more people and go to the group to grab a small red envelope, which is my compensation for everyone. ]
Happy Saturday!
