Li Miaomiao smoothed her stray bangs, her bright eyes sparkling under the crystal chandelier:
“Fate is a mysterious and unpredictable thing. When I chose Zheng Li during the couples’ week-long event at Jiangcheng University, I never thought so many things would happen. After meeting him, I felt like my life had been put on the fast track.”
Li Shuyao looked at the other person and said, "Sigh, I just feel that the gap between our social status in just two years has become so large that it is difficult to bridge. The ancient saying that 'first is fate, second is luck, third is feng shui, fourth is accumulating good deeds, and fifth is studying' does have some truth to it."
"In the face of the hand of fate, the struggle of an individual is too insignificant."
"I think I'll still go to CICC. Once I've gained some experience, if you want to start your own investment company, see if there are any opportunities for me."
Li Miaomiao said, "You know Cheng Gang, right?"
Li Shuyao: "I know him. He's your general manager. He used to work at Shunwei Capital. People at CICC Investment Bank all say he had a stroke of great luck."
"If he had known that Kechuang Bio would end up like this, he definitely wouldn't have been in this position."
"It's just that Zheng Li doesn't like to cause trouble and went to Singapore early on. Otherwise, all sorts of people with ideas would have bothered him to death."
Li Miaomiao smiled when she heard the other person mention Zheng Li: "Zheng Li definitely won't meet with those people. Cheng Gang is going to set up his own venture capital company."
"I specialize in angel investing in the biopharmaceutical industry. If you're interested, I can help you make the connection."
"In addition, Shunwei Capital, under Lei Jun, currently does not have a person in charge of investments in the biopharmaceutical field. Previously, it was Cheng Gang. If you are interested, I can help you ask around."
Li Miaomiao was very considerate of her sister.
Li Shuyao shook her head: "Forget it, how much money can Cheng Gang's venture capital company afford to invest? It's not worth owing him this favor."
"You'd better not have any vested interests with Cheng Gang. If you do, Zheng Li will feel uneasy."
"Forget about Shunwei Capital. If I went to those two companies you mentioned, Cheng Gang would probably give me a mid-level position. But at Shunwei Capital, I'd definitely have to start from the research institute."
"It won't be of much help to my career. After graduating with my master's degree, I will most likely go to CICC, or maybe a foreign investment bank."
"Let's accumulate some experience first and then see if there are any opportunities. Having you as my sister is my best connection, hahaha."
"Where do you plan to use the 40 billion RMB raised in this IPO?"
"Neither the second-phase endorphin production base nor the large-scale brain-computer interface experiment should cost that much, right?"
Li Miaomiao sighed and said, "We plan to develop our own brain-computer interface chip, and we are currently in the early research stage."
"The brain-computer interface chips we use now are standard chips with fine-tuning, and it is difficult to make any further progress at this level."
Have you ever used a brain-computer interface to connect to a mobile phone?
Li Shuyao: "My current Mi Mix 4 was a gift from you! Of course I've used it."
Li Miaomiao continued, "You should have noticed that the current brain-computer interface can only achieve the function of clicking the screen. Functions such as controlling the volume and turning the device on or off cannot be achieved."
"Brain-computer interfaces are even less effective when you are walking, as they are limited by many factors."
"Not to mention realizing the metaverse that the media talks about. If we want to control VR devices through brain-computer interfaces, the standard chips are far from sufficient."
The brain has about 100 billion neurons, each of which is connected to 100,000 similar neurons. Moreover, each neuron has a different firing pattern, encoding method, and information processing method.
“We plan to enter the semiconductor industry. Since 2017, people have gradually come to realize that semiconductors are really a money-burning industry.”
Having interned at CICC, Li Shuyao had also reviewed CICC's internal research reports on the semiconductor industry.
"What kind of chip are you planning to make? It should be a regular MCU, not an AI computing chip, right?"
Li Miaomiao was somewhat surprised: "You even know the difference between MCU and AI computing chips?"
MCU is what we commonly call a chip. Its full name is Microcontroller Unit. An MCU is essentially a chip that integrates a series of components such as CPU, memory, and PLC.
AI computing chips are modules specifically designed to handle a large number of computational tasks in artificial intelligence applications. Their definition is narrower and their functions are more singular than those of MCUs.
Li Shuyao nodded: "I've interned at CICC for so long, so I have some understanding of the semiconductor industry."
"MCU is alright. The MCU industry has matured over the years, and although there are few related talents in China, there are still some."
"But it's difficult to poach talent for AI chips. There are very few people in this field in China, and they are basically all in a few large companies."
"However, Kechuang Bio is a big company. If they want to poach people, they can still do so as long as they offer a high enough price."
Li Miaomiao explained, "We want to make both MCUs and AI computing chips."
"In the short term, brain-computer interface applications will only be available on mobile phones and medical devices. Conventional MCU customization development is sufficient."
"However, considering the long term, if we want to develop in the direction of virtual reality, we need to start accumulating AI chips now."
"Technological rehearsals need to begin well in advance."
Li Shuyao clapped: "Great ambition! Great idea!"
Li Miaomiao was helpless:
“Technological research and development is a painful and frustrating process, especially when you are at the forefront of that technology.”
"I'm getting a headache just looking at the budget now. I finally understand why domestic companies are unwilling to increase their investment in R&D and are unwilling to do basic innovation."
