C2 Past Life

Investment circles have an unwritten rule that the founder's preference for the name of the investment company is either plant or animal. Therefore, there was always a shortage of tall trees and nimble animals. Ouyang Shu liked the image of trees very much. He had used the name of the investment company, Little Tree, in the beginning. Little Tree was a low profile, but it also used the early investment organizations to witness the perfect transformation of the investment company, "from 0 to 1," which meant "Little Tree," and "Little Tree," which was "Little Tree," which was "Little Tree," which was "Little Tree," which was "Little Tree," and "Little Tree," which was "Little Tree.

The founder of Treelet Capital, Ouyang Shu, was a weirdo. This was a well-known thing in the investment world. This was not only because he was as sharp as a hunter at the investment site, but also because he was persistent when he fought with others for the project. It was also because of his different magical experiences.

"Yes, I graduated from Yan Yuan's Literature Department. My dream in university was to become the first author in China to win a Nobel Prize in Literature." Because there were new people joining the company, everyone gathered at the Japanese restaurant downstairs. He didn't hide his experience as a novel author. When he said this, he had a genuine smile on his face, and his voice was raised a few degrees. "People still need to have dreams. What if it comes true? The two novels I wrote in college were both rejected by the publishing company. " It hurts... "

Suddenly, the door was pushed open. The person who came in was Yan Zhenguang, who had just returned from a conscientious investigation by an internet company in Zhongguancun. Yan Zhenguang was no longer unfamiliar with this scene. He picked up a glass of orange juice and drank it with the newcomer. He touched his lips. "As a founding employee who has been working in the company for four years. Looking at Ouyang's mouth shape, I already know what story he's telling. He must have started from the time he was rejected by the publishing company. Then, he decided to change his business writing style and became an IP major writer. So he spent two years in Beijing's basement writing four series novels and then... "Just as everyone was looking forward to the good ending, He immediately sped up his speech, "I was still refunded."

Everyone looked at Ouyang Shu, but they saw that as a well-known early investor, he was still full of smiles and was not angry at all. On the contrary, he was happy to use his past disappointing years as a teaching material.

Ouyang Shu took over Yan Zhenguang's words. "Without a heart that has been crushed by suffering, how can one cultivate a pair of Fiery Golden Eyes and finally dig out good projects from thousands of projects? That is why life is not a starting point, but a choice."

The newly joined investment analyst Yin Zhengming was staring intently at Ouyang Shu. Although he had heard about it a long time ago, he still wanted to personally listen to the opinion of the career that the boss had personally taught him. "Ouyang, 'And then?'

"Later on, he met someone important. As the saying goes, one does not know when to fight when one does not fight." The person who spoke was Xu Yaru, the director of public relations, administration, and human resources in the company. The Treelet Capital company had a total of 20 employees, so the company's administration and human resources manager, Xu Yaru, was both in charge. She suddenly raised her hand and looked at her watch. "Ouyang has a lot of stories. In the future, you can chat more with Ouyang, but today is not a long time. Ouyang, your schedule shows that you have an appointment with 'Machine Bear' at two o'clock in the company meeting room."

When they heard the name 'Robot Bear', everyone immediately felt the air freeze for three seconds. Ouyang Shu's originally cheerful face also had a serious expression. He immediately stood up from the tatami and waved at everyone. He straightened his back and walked out.

Before he even walked to the door, a robot arm had already reached into the door and pushed it open. A robot waiter bowed to everyone.

"Mr. Ouyang, we have detected that you are preparing to leave the restaurant. I wish you a pleasant afternoon."

Although they had known each other for a long time, Ouyang Shu still turned around and gave her a note as a tip before leaving the restaurant in big strides. The speed of his actions was so fast that the people who were left behind could not react for a while. Paper was a rare item. Ouyang Shu used paper to replace electronic payment. It could be seen that he was in a good mood today.

"What is the relationship between the mechanical bear and us? Why does it make Ouyang feel like he is facing a great enemy?" Yin Zhengming couldn't help but whisper to Yan Zhenguang beside him.

Yan Zhenguang did not answer. He just stopped wolfing down the food and looked at the tall building in the distance with respect and yearning.

The Treelet Capital's Beijing office was on the 26th floor of the G Building in the central area of the CBD.

There was an unwritten rule in the investment circle. For the name of the investment company, the founder's preferences were either plants or animals. Therefore, it was always insufficient to calculate the tall trees and nimble animals. Ouyang Shu liked the image of trees very much. He had used the name of the investment company, Little Tree, in the beginning. Little Tree was a low profile, but it also used the early investment organizations to witness the perfect transformation of the investment company, "from 0 to 1," which meant "Little Tree," and "Little Tree," which was "Little Tree," which was "Little Tree," which was "Little Tree," which was "Little Tree," and "Little Tree," which was "Little Tree.

Ouyang Shu took two steps out of the elevator and arrived at the entrance of the Treelet Capital. He aimed his face at the face recognition system on the left side of the door. The system quickly scanned and confirmed it. With a "bang," the door opened.

This face recognition system was also a project that the Treelet Capital had invested in last year.

As one of the technical representatives for the conversion of weak artificial intelligence to strong artificial intelligence, face recognition was widely used in all kinds of scenes and locations that required identification. It undoubtedly promoted the arrival of the real uncertified era. The uniqueness of the Treelet Capital's investment in this project was its powerful human face positioning and image preprocessing ability, as well as the identity search function that had a lower error rate than one in a million. In other words, no matter what decoration you made on the facial organs, including the eyes, it could easily capture the actual data of biological characteristics.

The receptionist, Xiao Ran, saw Ouyang Shu rushing back to the company. She pointed at the largest meeting room tactfully and stuck out her tongue at the same time, indicating that Qiu Yixiong had arrived.

"Ouyang, CEO Qiu arrived 15 minutes ago. He told me not to tell you in advance. He said he would have a video conference first."

It was Qiu Yixiong's habit to arrive fifteen minutes earlier than scheduled. Ouyang Shu nodded. He looked at his watch. There were three minutes left before two o'clock.

Today's weather in Beijing was perfect. Not only was there no haze, but it was also a beautiful day. The summer sun was bright but not sinister. It brought about a myriad of phenomena to the CBD. In the spacious conference room, the sunlight shone through the huge glass window, making the people sitting inside look like they were the king of the world.

The person sitting inside was the mysterious existence in the investment world, "Robot Bear" Qiu Yixiong.

Robot Bear was the role model of the investment world, and the person controlling the bets was Qiu Yixiong of Nen Yuan Capital. "Bear" and "Xiong" were in sync, and "Machine" was suitable to describe his amazing business sense and super computing brain.

He was always wearing a well-made suit. Sometimes it was a British suit, and sometimes it was a Chinese Tang suit. The color was just sky blue, light blue, dark blue, and black. This was one of the life imprints left behind by his early Wall Street investment bank experience. The professional variant in the cruel financial world also required people to dress as specialized espers.

Today he was wearing a blue suit that was slightly casual. His hair was not messy at all, and behind his rimless glasses were his eyes that were always full of vigor. At first glance, he looked to be in his forties, but no one knew that he was already in his sixties.

Ouyang Shu looked through the glass wall of the meeting room and saw Qiu Yixiong talking to a foreigner in the video frame. From his relaxed expression, there should be good news. While Ouyang Shu was looking at Qiu Yixiong, Qiu Yixiong also saw Ouyang Shu through the glass wall. He waved at Ouyang Shu casually.

Ouyang Shu pushed the door open and went in. He stood at the side respectfully. Qiu Yixiong understood and lifted his chin to signal him to sit down first. It was obvious that he trusted Ouyang Shu very much.

In fact, it was this noble who had trained and forged Ouyang Shu. Of course, Ouyang Shu was also very important in his capital and ecology. Part of it. The Treelet Capital was responsible for the early project combination of Nan Yuan capital. Nan Yuan capital was the most important LP of the Treelet Capital's capital, and the Treelet Capital was constantly sending early projects to Nan Yuan capital every month.

Qiu Yixiong and Ouyang Shu had agreed to the project operation meeting that would be held every three months.

"Walker, the possibility of the Great Development Technology that was mentioned just now being listed in the country isn't high. So, we decided to list it in Nasdaq. It was also invested with our USD funds. " However, although it's a 'foreign company' with foreign financing, many license plates can only be owned by domestic companies. So now we are preparing to build a VIE structure to ensure that it will conform to the VIE accounting guidelines designed by GAAP. This will ensure that it can successfully enter the foreign capitals market. This way, if Hongda Technology can be listed, then its rival Shengwei Technology's share price will probably be even lower. "

In the video, Walker nodded his head from time to time," No problem, contact us at any time if you need our help. It's our honor to be able to work with you on this project. "

Qiu Yixiong quickly finished talking about the project. He waved his hand and turned off the screen.

When he turned around and greeted Ouyang Shu, the relaxed look on his face disappeared. Ouyang Shu understood and quickly turned on the screen on the table. While he was waiting for the data to be sent, he saw through the corner of his eye that Qiu Yixiong quickly turned on his phone to read the information. His brain, which was not free at that moment, was working rapidly again. He was immersed in the capitalist game that he loved.

The download of the file was completed. The first part of the screen was the operating situation of the previous investment combinations in this quarter. According to the average investment speed of 25 to 30 projects per year, the Treelet Capital had invested 80 companies in the past three years. This year, they were expected to invest a total of 100 projects.

"Manager Qiu, based on the operating data, 85% of the companies have already entered the next round of investment. The other 12% is still in the strategic transition period and still needs time to verify. The other 3% of the companies can basically confirm that the team or business model has failed, but we will still maintain contact with the entrepreneurship team."

At the same time Ouyang Shu introduced the project's quarterly operations, Qiu Yixiong's eyes swept across all kinds of data like a scanner.

Qiu Yixiong nodded. "Ah Shu, for the early projects, compared to the business model, the most important thing is the founder and his team. Of course. "He changed the topic." We can't ignore those subversive business models. "

Ouyang Shu tilted his head and listened carefully. It was obvious that he agreed with Qiu Yixiong's point of view. "I know what you are talking about. Back then, after I graduated from college two years ago, I did not achieve anything. The novels that I worked so hard to write did not even have the chance to publish, let alone become IP. Later on, I posted the works online for free for everyone to see. However, more and more people came. In the end, they even became a well-known literary website in the industry. They were bought by the listed companies that you invested in..."

"Don't keep mentioning the past," Qiu Yixiong interrupted Ouyang Shu. "It's just a matter of taking advantage of the situation. Nowadays, who doesn't want to stand proudly at the bow of the era? There are a lot of smart people and capable people. There were many, but the key was to have a magical fulcrum. "Ah Shu, you are a fool in the eyes of outsiders, but in my eyes, you are thinking of the world and are as wise as a fool." Speaking up to this point, Qiu Yixiong revealed a rare quiet look.

When Ouyang Shu heard this praise, he couldn't help but reveal a grateful smile. Back then, under Qiu Yixiong's guidance, he successfully sold the company to a listed company and became an early investor. In the past four years, he led his team to break out of the siege of the early investment companies like a dark horse. This was also the best way to repay Qiu Yixiong's kindness.

Qiu Yixiong was about to continue the conversation when his phone suddenly rang with the sound of Su Lyi. It was a voice message that he had specially marked. Qiu Yixiong picked up his phone and looked at it. Then, he said to Ouyang Shu as fast as he could, "Quick, go to the capital airport and pick up a great god in the artificial intelligence world! Her name is Su Lyi. You should leave immediately. Otherwise, you won't be able to pick her up."

Great god? Su Lyi? As an early investor in the artificial intelligence world, Ouyang Shu had never heard of this name before. However, seeing how much Qiu Yixiong cared about this person, he thought that he must be a very powerful person. Otherwise, he would not have arranged for Ouyang Shu to personally pick him up.

Although he was full of doubts, Ouyang Shu still hurried to the parking lot. He originally wanted to find his latest version of Tesla. This way, he could use the autopilot to rest for a while. Unexpectedly, he couldn't find it even after searching for a quarter of an hour. Only then did he remember that his cousin Ouyang Loong had borrowed the car this morning.

It was too late to take another taxi. Ouyang Shu had no choice but to walk in front of a car covered in light cloth. He shook off the dust-covered dust-proof cloth. Inside was his secret weapon: a mobile old car. Ouyang Shu tried it. The old car was very polite. It started after a few tries. The inside of the car was a little messy. There were some precious books of Nie Luda's poetry on the seat of the car.

Ouyang Shu turned around and turned around. Finally, he got on the airport highway. He was about to call Qiu Yixiong, but he did not expect Qiu Yixiong's phone to come in.

"Ah Shu, you must receive Su Lyi personally. She is a super expert in the field of artificial intelligence, the director of the big artificial intelligence laboratory. However, she is very low-key. Although she published a lot of sensational theses in the industry, she never participated in any social activities, so she did not find her official photo. There is only a picture of Halloween in disguise, which may be slightly different from her real appearance. "Right, the professor is a woman."

Ouyang Shu had studied artificial intelligence experts both in and out of the country, but he had never heard of her name. He asked Qiu Yixiong in surprise, "Director Qiu, I have never heard of Su Lyi. If she is really that famous, no matter how low-key she is, it is not to the extent that even I have never heard of her before. Is there another alias? "

Qiu Yixiong immediately understood Ouyang Shu's question." Oh, I was only focusing on arranging for you to receive missions. You might not have heard of the name Su Lyi. That was the name she used before she went to America. Because she had returned to China, the referral had sent her middle name along with it. But you must know that it's her English name, An Su. I'll send you the photo right away. "

Ouyang Shu suddenly realized what was going on. He had heard of An in the artificial intelligence field, but most of them, including him, did not have the chance to see him. It was rumored that she, who only liked to stay in the university research institute, never participated in any social activities. However, she never stopped publishing research reports in top journals. Every year, everyone waited for her research reports like the Internet Queen Mary Mikel from the top venture capital company KPCB (Kaipeng Huabin).

Of course, an artificial intelligence god like her was famous for not being in the underworld. There were always many people who took the initiative to offer an olive branch.

Qiu Yixiong was right about this. "Giving yourself to a scientist who does not care about fame and fortune is certainly worthy of our respect. But stepping into business and benefiting the public might be a better choice. I heard that a few artificial intelligence laboratories in Google had offered her an olive branch, but she rejected all of them. "And now what is the reason for her to return to China's entrepreneurship after leaving for so many years?"

As soon as Qiu Yixiong's voice faded, a "Di" sound was heard. The picture was sent. Qiu Yixiong said that Su Lyi was standing in the middle. Ouyang Shu glanced at his phone. A puzzled frown. Everyone in the photo was the same. They wore black headgear and white faces. There was a thick red line under each person's eyes. The lady standing in the middle only revealed a pair of eyes. It seemed that the hand that was casually placed under her nose was covering the lower half of her face. Ouyang Shu could not help but smile bitterly. It seemed it would not be easy to find Su Lyi in the crowd later.

Ouyang Shu hung up Qiu Yixiong's phone and opened the storage cabinet in the car. He took out a bottle of soda water and drank it all in one breath.

The following task was tough. He exhaled and looked at the photo in his hand. Or rather, the eyes in the photo.

Ouyang Shu had been repeatedly rejected by the publishing company. His experience of being down and down had allowed him to develop an extraordinary sense of empathy. The reason why he could understand the hearts of users, fans, entrepreneurs, and partners after he became an investor was all thanks to the training he had been working on over the past few days.

Unfortunately, he did not understand the hearts of women. Or rather, he did not spend time and effort reading the women that appeared in his life. Could it be that the trauma of his failed love in university was not fully healed yet? Or was the lack of love between men and women a by-product of his successful entrepreneurship and investment career?

He smiled bitterly at himself in the rearview mirror and immediately pulled his thoughts back. He continued to stare at the photos on his phone. Everyone was having a crazy Halloween party. Some of them were grinning from ear to ear, while others were making weird faces. However, she stood among them with a calm expression on her face. She seemed to be an outsider. Her eyes were pure, clear, and powerful, and she retained a unique calmness in the noisy crowd. The beauty of reason unique to engineering students. This was what he admired, and what he lacked. From the photos, it could be seen that... Su Lyi was very popular with the students. One must know that the top artificial intelligence laboratory she was in was filled with smart people who were proud of their talents. To get the love of these people, one could only rely on their real talent. Moreover, if she didn't participate in any public social events, However, participating in the activities of the students meant that in her heart, she was very proud of the students.

A good professor. If she was old enough, perhaps he could treat her as a teacher's friend.

Ouyang Shu suddenly remembered and forgot to ask about her age. He only remembered Qiu Yixiong's last sentence, "No matter what business Su Lyi wants to do, you must invest in it. Currently, other funds may know that she has returned to China, but we need to become her investors as soon as possible. Because she is Su Lyi!"

With the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, he tilted his head. Receiving someone first was more important.

When they arrived at the airport, Ouyang Shu parked the car in the underground parking lot. Looking at the old car that had just turned off its engine, he could not help but mutter to himself, "Driving a handbrake car to fetch the world's top artificial intelligence expert, this scene is like a comical scene in a movie.

The entire wall of the reception hall was made of glass. The afternoon sun shone through the huge glass wall. The slowly flowing clouds in the sky seemed to be reminding people that this was the best season in Beijing.

Summer was a season with stories.

The screen in the airport lobby showed Su Lyi's flight had just landed.

Ouyang Shu could not help but feel nervous. His emotional thoughts were wandering.

What kind of woman was this important guest that he was going to meet?

Why did she have such a pair of enigmatic eyes?

He felt that he was about to transform into an enigmatic person.
