Xueba's life simulator

Chapter 161 Meeting (311)

Zhou Ming was right, he really hadn't figured out what the next achievement in mathematics would be.

It's not that Zhou Ming has no results now, on the contrary, but because he has too many results in his mind, and he doesn't know what to bring out.

In fact, there is another point, that is, there are not many results that are similar to Goldbach's conjecture, or even greater than Goldbach's conjecture. If Zhou Ming shows it too quickly, it will take a year to complete it. After that The speed at which similar results can be produced is slow.

It's not impossible to rely solely on Zhou Ming himself without relying on life simulators, but the speed is too slow. Zhou Ming might as well produce some results in artificial intelligence and biology first, and advance in multiple lines.

"Haven't figured it out yet? All right, all right."

Hearing what Zhou Ming said, Li Mingzhi could only respond with some disappointment.

However, when Li Mingzhi remembered that Zhou Ming had said the same thing when he concluded the proof of the twin prime conjecture, he stopped worrying about it.

Because he knew that when Zhou Ming set off next time, he would definitely climb a higher mountain than Goldbach had guessed.

"Are you free tonight?" Li Mingzhi quickly changed the subject and asked Zhou Ming again.

"I should be free. Does Dean Li need my help?" Zhou Ming asked.

"Why, in your eyes, I must be looking for you because I need your help?" Hearing Zhou Ming's question, Li Mingzhi pretended to be angry and said to Zhou Ming.

Afterwards, the smile returned to Li Zhizhi's face, and he continued, "Didn't you ask me to take care of your super beans in the experimental field last time?

Later, after I learned about the specific situation of your Super Bean project from you, I secretly... Hehe, I made a little money.

The money is thanks to you, so I want to treat you to a meal as a thank you.You said that you actually regarded me as the kind of person who would go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing! "

Hearing what Li Mingzhi said, Zhou Ming knew what he meant, and asked curiously, "How much did you earn?"

Li Mingzhi didn't say it clearly, but just stretched out a hand and made an OK gesture.

"? 30? Or 300 million?" Zhou Ming was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that this was not ok, but the number three, so he asked Li Mingzhi.

Thirty thousand is too little, and 3000 million is too much, Zhou Ming didn't even ask. As for 30 million, it is definitely impossible, and 300 and 30 million are the most likely, but Zhou Ming still prefers [-].

"300 million. In fact, I told a few friends about it, and they did it with me. They made more than 5000 million at most.

I don't have the guts, or they make more money if they are bold. "Li Mingzhi replied mysteriously.

"Have you made so much?" Hearing what Li Mingzhi said, Zhou Ming felt a little strange, because in Zhou Ming's view, stocks are not futures. Futures can be bought up or down, but stocks should only be bought up.

Even if you really know that a stock will fall sharply now, you can only buy it when the stock falls far below its reasonable value, and then wait for the stock to return to its reasonable value before buying it. Sell ​​to earn the difference.

But this is still just buying low and selling high.

"Hey, you have opened a few companies anyway. You can say that you are worth hundreds of millions. Don't you know about securities lending?" Seeing Zhou Ming's puzzled face, Li Zhiming smiled curiously and asked Zhou Ming. .

Zhou Ming knew that he didn't have much time to manage the company, so he left the company's affairs to professionals very early. Although he had some knowledge of the stock industry, he had also made a lot of money through stock trading in order to complete his tasks.

However, the last time Zhou Ming knew the price increase of a certain stock in a certain period of time, he bought it at a low price and sold it at a high price to earn the price difference.

Zhou Ming really doesn't know how to make money when the stock is falling, otherwise he would have intervened before and wouldn't have done nothing.

"Dean Li, it's not that you don't know me well. The company I run is handed over to professionals. I just provide some technical support. I really don't know much about it.

What's the matter with the securities lending you mentioned?How does it make money through stock declines? "Zhou Ming asked Li Mingzhi.

Hearing what Zhou Ming said, Li Mingzhi also showed an expression on his face that you are happy, and did not refute him, but began to explain to him how to make money by taking advantage of the stock price drop.

After all, although there is no clear news, in fact, many people can guess that Zhou Ming's company can develop so fast and produce so many results within a year. It must be inseparable from Zhou Ming. "Technical support.

"Actually, this principle is similar to buying up and down in futures. I don't know if you know about futures, so let me tell you.

Buying up futures is to expect the price of futures to rise, buy and hold, wait until the expected price, sell for a profit, and earn the difference between buying low and selling high.This is what is usually called doing more.

The futures buying and selling means that the futures price is expected to fall, and the relevant contract is sold. After the price falls to the expected price, the relevant contract is bought at a low price and returned, and the profit is the difference between selling high and buying low.This is what is commonly referred to as short selling.

Securities lending is to borrow stocks.

When you know that a stock is going to fall, you can borrow the stock from a securities company, find the right time to sell the stock after the securities lending is successful, and then buy the same amount of securities at a low price after the stock has fallen for a period of time. Then return the purchased securities to the securities company.

You see, can you make a fortune by selling high and buying low?Is it the same as buying low futures?
As for securities companies, not only did they not lose their stocks, but they also got a certain amount of interest, which is a win-win situation. "

After Li Zhizhi finished speaking, Zhou Ming nodded, and said to Li Zhizhi suddenly: "It turns out that this is the case, in fact, you don't have to pay for it yourself, you can be a white wolf with nothing?

For example, selling soybeans, if I think the price of soybeans will fall, but I don’t have any soybeans in my hand, and I want to make money when it falls, I can borrow soybeans from my friends and sell them first, and then spend less money to sell soybeans after the price drops. Buy the soybeans and return them to your friend, and pay the interest he negotiated when he borrowed the soybeans. "

In fact, this kind of thing is easy to say, as if the stock market is full of money, and you can pick up money by bending over, but the actual situation is not as easy as it is said.

If the facts are different from your prediction, after you sell the stock in your hand, the stock not only does not fall, but actually rises.

Then, if you want to buy back the stock you originally borrowed from the securities company but sold by you, then it is definitely not enough to use the money you earn from selling the stock, because this stock has risen, and its price is lower than yours. When the price is high, you need more money to buy it back.

So, you still need to raise additional money yourself.

On top of that, you'll also need to pay additional interest.

In other words, once the facts deviate from your prediction, the faster the stock rises, the more money you will lose.

In addition, if you are very confident in yourself and you have borrowed a lot of stocks, the interest alone will be enough for you to pay back in the end.

What Li Zhizhi said just now is that he is not as courageous as his friend, and that is what he said. He is afraid that if something unexpected happens, he will really lose all his wealth.

"right.

However, these four companies responded very quickly, and they were able to control the decline within a short period of time. The decline was not as severe as before. After we saw that they had curbed the downward trend, we also stopped. "

Li Mingzhi added, and finally said with a little regret, "It's a pity."

Now, Zhou Ming fully understands that the financial industry really has many ways. If he had not engaged in scientific research, but switched to finance and took advantage of the life simulator, then Buffett’s name as a stock god might have changed hands. Zhou Ming Now he is the new stock god, the new richest man in the world.

"However, in the early stage of the life simulator, the amount of information was too little, and there was no third-person perspective mode, so the information about the future was only a little knowledge I had learned.

Even if I changed my major to a financial major and started to learn financial knowledge, I am afraid that even after several simulations, I would eventually have more financial knowledge.

For the understanding of future stock-related information, you still have to learn from the simulated text process. "

Thinking about whether it would be better for him to abandon science and focus on finance, Zhou Ming began to think about what would happen in the future if he really gave up biology and chose finance.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ming realized that if he really chose finance at the beginning, he might not be as good as he is now in more than a year.

"Seven o'clock in the evening, the old place we visited once before." Li Mingzhi said again.

Soon, Zhou Ming left the East Campus where the School of Mathematical Sciences of HKUST is located, and went to the West Campus where the Faculty of Life Science and Medicine is located.

Leave the side of the number hospital, go to the medical school in the middle campus through the underground passage, and go through the medical school to the life science building in the west campus.

The Life Sciences Building is right next to Feixi Road, which is close to the Middle Campus. Zhou Ming can walk into this building as soon as he turns right on Lixue Road in the West Campus.

Not long after entering the Life Sciences Building, Zhou Ming, who was about to deal with some matters, saw a familiar figure here. He walked up and shouted, "Teacher Bi."

The familiar figure that Zhou Ming saw in the Life Sciences Building was his advisor when he was a doctoral student in the School of Life Sciences last year.

Although Bi Wanfang only served as Zhou Ming's tutor for two months, the relationship between the two of them was a little anxious before Zhou Ming came to school. From the first time Zhou Ming met Bi Wanfang tomorrow, their relationship has disappeared. The previous anxiety was even better than the normal relationship between a tutor and a student.

When Zhou Ming called him, Bi Wanfang also turned his head in surprise. When he saw that the person who called him was Zhou Ming, a smile appeared on his face, and he quickly walked towards Zhou Ming, and said to him: "I've heard about you. A few days ago, the college specially applied to the higher-ups to hire you as a professor in our School of Biological Sciences, right? And you're still a second-level professor now."

Bi Wanfang quickly walked up to Zhou Ming, praised him repeatedly, and pulled him to ask Zhou Ming to sit in his office.

"Are you busy now? If you're not busy, go and sit in my office." Bi Wanfang said while holding Zhou Ming's hand, "I really didn't expect it. It's only been half a year, and you already have such a achieved.

When you graduated back then, although I knew that your future achievements would definitely be extraordinary, I never thought that you would be able to make such a big splash within a year.

The twin prime number conjecture and Goldbach's conjecture, and the cooperation with the professors from the Department of Information and Intelligence of our school have created an artificial intelligence that can accurately predict the structure of proteins. Last month, whether it was on the Internet or on TV, it was all Take turns scrolling through your messages.

In the past six months, you have produced so many epoch-making achievements, I am afraid that you will soon become a national treasure of our country. "

At the end, Bi Wanfang even made a joke.

"Nothing at the moment." Zhou Ming simply replied, and followed Bi Wanfang to his office.

After arriving at Bi Wanfang's office, Bi Wanfang enthusiastically poured a cup of hot water for Zhou Ming, and when he handed the cup to Zhou Ming, he asked Zhou Ming again: "I remember when you came to our School of Life Sciences, did you do it on purpose? I mentioned it to the school, and you chose our Department of Neurobiology and Biophysics yourself. Why did you not continue to do research in neurobiology after graduation, but instead went to study molecular biology?
Also, it's agronomy. "

The School of Life Sciences under the Department of Life Sciences and Medicine of HKUST has four departments, namely the Department of Molecular Biology and Cell Biology, the Department of Neurobiology and Biophysics, the Department of Systems Biology, and the Department of Medical Biotechnology.

In Bi Wanfang's view, the super beans that Zhou Ming studied after graduating from the School of Biological Sciences belonged to the Department of Molecular Biology and Cell Biology.

"Teacher, you also know that my study is quite complicated, and everything in biology will be mixed. Although the last time I studied soybeans, I may study other things next time. I have not given up on the study of neurobiology. , if I didn’t like neurobiology, I wouldn’t have taken the initiative to choose the Department of Neurobiology and Biophysics, let alone choose you as my tutor.” Zhou Ming explained to his teacher.

"Well, yes, before I communicated with you, I knew from Yanhong that you have a wide range of knowledge. Later, after meeting and talking with you, I even learned about your talent in biology.

Since you said so today, I believe you will definitely study the field of neurobiology later.

I also hope to see you make a major breakthrough in this area. Its sensation, importance and significance can at least not be inferior to the super bean you just created!

By the way, after this super bean, do you have any plans for the future? "

Bi Wanfang nodded first, and finally asked Zhou Ming.

About Zhou Ming's next project after finishing a project, this is something that almost all scholars who have contacted with Zhou Ming are interested in, no matter whether they study this aspect or not.

"A new project will start soon, probably within a week or two." Zhou Ming said truthfully, but he did not explain what his specific research project was.

"So fast? I don't know which aspect of the new project this time?" Bi Wanfang was very curious when he heard Zhou Ming say that he would start a new project in a week or two. What project will be studied in the future, and how does this project compare with Super Beans.

"It's about biosynthesis," Zhou Ming explained.

"Biosynthesis? Could it be related to food? Could it be the synthesis of food?" When Zhou Ming said this, Bi Wan thought that Zhou Ming's next project might be biosynthesis of food. If this is the case, it is very likely that this The significance of the project is indeed greater than Super Beans.

"En." Zhou Ming just nodded.

Bi Wanfang wanted to ask something more, but he soon realized that it might involve some secrets, so he didn't ask the question when he was about to ask, but said to Zhou Ming: " Good luck with your new project then."

In fact, what Bi Wanfang wants to ask is whether Zhou Ming's research project is to prepare artificially synthesized starch, or glucose and oil.

After chatting with Bi Wanfang for a while, Zhou Ming left here, and finally returned to his office at the School of Biological Sciences after dealing with some of his own affairs.

"The artificial intelligence that can accurately predict proteins has been successfully developed. It's time to arrange new tasks for them." After returning to his office, Zhou Ming began to write about the new artificial intelligence project.

This time the project on artificial intelligence is not like the previous project on accurately predicting proteins. This time Zhou Ming plans to start slowly from bottom to top.

The last time it was for a blockbuster fame, now that the fame is there, their company can absorb more talents in artificial intelligence, and they have to lay a solid foundation first.

In the evening, Zhou Ming went to the restaurant Li Mingzhi mentioned as scheduled.

After arriving at the box that Li Zhizhi had agreed with him in advance, Zhou Ming discovered that it was not only him and Li Zhizhi who had dinner this time, but also other people.

And the other people here are the few people who ate at this restaurant with Li Mingzhi when Zhou Ming first came to HKUST last time.

"Professor Zhou."

"Professor Zhou."

……

As soon as Zhou Ming walked into the box, several other people who had already arrived shouted at him after seeing Zhou Ming,

"After the artificial intelligence came out last time, there has been no movement in the company. Is there any new project in the company recently?" Chen Wen asked Zhou Ming who had just sat down.

"There are indeed, but I am still preparing for the specific project, and I will definitely notify the company within two days.

Do the two professors have any recommendations for talents in artificial intelligence?The company is now preparing for a big expansion, and it is in urgent need of talents.Those outstanding graduates who have graduated before you can recommend them if they plan to change jobs recently. "After Chen Wen finished speaking, Zhou Ming also said cheerfully.

As soon as Zhou Ming said this, everyone's chatter box was opened, and everyone began to chat in a hurry, but most of the topics were focused on Zhou Ming. After all, there were too many topics worth talking about about Zhou Ming.

After returning home after dinner, Zhou Ming read the book again before going to bed.

On the second day, Zhou Ming continued to work on new artificial intelligence projects. In the evening, Zhou Ming wrote all the new projects that the company was going to start.

But looking at the time, Zhou Ming realized that it was already quite late, so Zhou Ming didn't send these to the company immediately, but waited until he woke up tomorrow.

On the 23rd, after dealing with the company's affairs, Zhou Ming was ready to prepare for the next experiment, but when he was preparing to declare the materials, he heard a knock on the office door.

"Please come in."

Zhou Ming was a little strange, why did someone come to find him after he had only been here for a few days?Could it be Teacher Bi Wanfang?

After Zhou Ming said please come in, the door of the office was opened, and Academician Zhang Mingjie came to his office to look for him.

"Professor Zhou, that person will come to visit our school in the afternoon. You will be the one to receive him. He came here just for you." After Zhang Mingjie came to Zhou Ming's office, he told Zhou Ming something to ask him Very shocked news.

"I'm coming in the afternoon? Should I go back and change my clothes?" Zhou Ming hurriedly asked when Zhang Mingjie said that he was coming.

"No, no, what to change.

It seems too contrived for you to go back and change your clothes. I just told you in advance so that you can be mentally prepared.This is also the notification just issued above, and I just found out.

No, I came to inform you as soon as I got the news. "Zhang Mingjie said.

After Zhang Mingjie came to pass the news and then left, Zhou Mingming suddenly felt a little nervous after Zhang Mingjie left.

Although Zhou Ming in the simulated world had already seen many characters standing in that position, he didn't have any relevant memories, that is, he had seen them in some previous text experiences.

Now that I really want to meet that person face to face, and this is the first time, Zhou Ming is understandably nervous.

"Huh~huh~, relax, relax, what a big deal, this kind of thing will definitely happen again in the future." Zhou Ming comforted himself like this, but he was still a little nervous.

In the end, Zhou Ming could only turn his attention back to the project he was applying for.

This trick really worked, Zhou Ming quickly put all his thoughts on the project he applied for, and didn't think about meeting that person in the afternoon.

In a blink of an eye, it was afternoon.

"You are still in the office, go."

In the afternoon, when Zhou Ming was continuing to prepare for the upcoming experimental project in the office, Zhang Mingjie ran in without even knocking on the door this time. Seeing that Zhou Ming was still sitting in the office busy with something, he said to him.

"He's here, let's go." Zhang Mingjie walked into Zhou Ming's office, walked quickly to Zhou Ming's side in three steps at a time, took Zhou Ming's arm and walked out of the office.

Zhou Ming also knew why Zhang Mingjie was in such a hurry. He forgot what Zhang Mingjie said to him in the morning, and followed Zhang Mingjie out of the office without asking any more questions.

Not long after, Zhou Ming was brought in front of an old man with black hair and a stern face. At this time, there were already many people around, and people from the TV station were taking pictures and videos.

"Is this Professor Zhou Ming? He is really as young as in the photo."

After the old man saw Zhou Ming, he showed a very friendly smile, and stretched out his hand to hold Zhou Ming's hand, and said to Zhou Ming.

After Zhou Ming chatted with this person for a few words, they soon came to a conference room with no one there.

Just now outside, they were talking about things that could be broadcast by the TV station, but what they were going to talk about here would be some more confidential content.

As for the specific content of the conversation, there were not too many technical questions, so I asked Zhou Ming about the project he was going to study next, and the others were Zhou Ming's views on the future direction of Huaguo's technological development.

Regarding this question, Zhou Ming naturally couldn't hide it like he did to other professors. He directly stated the project he was going to study next.
