Chapter 182 Bitcoin and Nvidia (sorry for being too late)
The unexpected changes that occurred during this switch made Fang Yu feel a little more gloomy. He kept frowning on the way to the Spring Tour Factory.
Yuzu was clearly with me, how could she not know what happened?
This time, it is most likely that those legendary wizards discovered the existence of the Rubik's Cube.
What should I do? Should I go to the main plane again?
"Pa!" Fang Yu slapped himself hard.
Don't worry about anything.
Even if those legendary wizards who escaped into the star realm took action, what could they do?
One explosion of magic energy can kill their clones violently, which shows that their influence on the main plane is very limited.
Are those human figures made of starlight considered clones?
no?
If it’s not even a clone, there’s even less to worry about!
However, there is one thing that needs attention.
He had cast spells in front of so many extraordinary people before and nothing had happened. Why did something like this happen this time?
I guess it was the succubus Claudia who did it.
Next time I go to the main plane, I must teach her a lesson again!
Let her know how powerful the rubber stick technique is!
A great man once said it well: Take the enemy seriously tactically and despise the enemy strategically.
It would be idiotic to abandon the main plane just because of the possible threat posed by these legendary wizards who have been cowards for more than 10,000 years.
However, it is better to wait until you reach level 4 before going there. To be safe, you should go to level 5. By then, you will have learned the third-level spells, which will be safer.
Anyway, I got back these 16 bags of gold coins, which should be enough to last me in a short time.
When he arrived at the factory, Fang Yu first unloaded 300 kilograms of diluted raw liquid from the car and handed it over to the person in charge of the factory. The entire handover process was monitored by four channels and there were also three hidden surveillance cameras.
Then he ran to his studio in the backyard of the factory.
Fang Yu set up a 200-square-meter studio in the Chunriyou Factory and placed a lot of tools in it to hide his identity.
This studio may seem small and simple, but it actually cost Chunriyou more than three million yuan.
The entire studio is made of high-lead radiation-proof one-way glass, and there are sunshades inside. The sunshades and walls are all made of three-millimeter lead plates wrapped with a layer of steel plates.
Under the ground is a 20-centimeter-thick iron plate, on which is also laid a three-millimeter-thick lead plate. The lead plate is then insulated with 1.2-millimeter-thick stainless steel, and then a layer of concrete is poured on it, and finally a layer of micro-cement is applied.
The roof is also covered with a 3 mm thick lead sheet.
It can be said that here, not to mention mobile phones and X-ray machines, even if nuclear radiation breaks out outside, it cannot penetrate the protection of this room.
After entering the studio and closing the door, Fang Yu waved his hand, and the shadows of sixteen cowhide bags appeared on the spotless micro-cement floor.
Fang Yu performed a zero-level wealth trick - currency sensing. This trick can count an unknown amount of currency, which is somewhat similar to an arcane version of a money counting machine.
"Oh, that's not bad."
Fang Yu was surprised to find that there were 160,000 gold dukes here.
The nine thousand gold dukes of the three dead people were actually included, and it was five thousand more than what was signed in the contract.
This Muller is quite chivalrous.
He is indeed a fool who believes in the Church of Light.
He didn't even know that his own knights had been completely enslaved by Claudia.
The 160,000 gold dukes totaled 587.75 kilograms, plus the less than 60,000 gold dukes previously sold for arms in Merkfort, for a total weight of 805 kilograms.
Fang Yu did not do any purification as it was too troublesome. Anyway, these gold dukes were basically 18K gold, so it would be easiest to melt them directly into 18K gold bars.
Light up the induction furnace, set up the crucible, and melt directly.
It took Fang Yu an entire afternoon to melt the 805 kilograms of gold Duke into 18k gold bars, each weighing ten kilograms, a total of eighty bars.
After putting the gold bricks into four aluminum alloy storage boxes, Fang Yu waved his hand, put them into the Wujie Messenger, got in the car, and went to Wanfang.
Go find Lao Deng to get some gold coins!

"Puff!" Fang Daqiang almost spit out a mouthful of tea. "One hundred and twenty million? What do you need so much money for?"
"Dad, be careful with your words. What do you mean by 'want'? I'm asking you to be my collateral." Fang Yu stared at the 70-inch screen and waved the Wii remote controller in his hand to hit back the tennis ball that flew towards him.
Fang Daqiang has had this Wii for many years. When they were in middle school, Fang Yu often played games with Fang Daqiang, but they played less after entering high school.
"Mortgage? Use your shares in the Spring Day Tour?" Fang Daqiang brewed another bowl of cinnamon and washed the tea.
Fang Yu paused the game and said, "No, Chunriyou is actually not worth a penny. I own all the intellectual property rights. And I'm not raising funds for Chunriyou, I'm raising funds for my company, Youzi Technology."
Although Fang Yu had never told Fang Daqiang about Youzi Technology before, he knew that Fang Daqiang must be aware that he had set up another technology company.
Sure enough, Fang Daqiang wasn't surprised at all after hearing this. He said as he served tea, "Yuzu Technology? I haven't asked you yet, what does this company do?"
"Artificial intelligence." Fang Yu picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. "It's quite expensive to develop this. One hundred and twenty million might only last half a year."
Fang Daqiang hummed. That was his good point: he never preconceived opinions on new things he didn't understand. "I don't know much about this. How do you do it specifically?"
He is basically the same age as Pony Ma from Penguin. As one of the first netizens in the Great Zhou Dynasty who started surfing the Internet in 3044, he has sold compatible computers, played text mud, visited Yuanyuan Library, written articles under the banyan tree, used Frontpage to create a personal website, has a 6-digit Penguin account, and even took a Cisco CCNA entry-level certification when Fang Yu was very young.
If he hadn't later entered the entertainment industry, he might be an executive in a large company now.
However, even if he had a vague understanding of AI before, it was not easy for Fang Yu to explain to him in words what Yuzi Technology was doing and what progress it had made.
In this era, most technology enthusiasts' understanding of artificial intelligence is still limited to Terminator's Skynet and Iron Man's Jarvis.
Fang Yu explained for five minutes, but seeing that Fang Daqiang still had only a vague understanding, he simply pulled Fang Daqiang over to the computer and said, "Let me show you."
After saying that, Fang Yu turned on Fang Daqiang's computer, connected to the confidential server of Youzi Technology, and opened a dialog box.
"Orange, there are chickens and rabbits in a cage. Counting from the top, there are thirty-five heads, and counting from the bottom, there are ninety-four legs. How many chickens and rabbits are there in total?"
Without any pause, the big orange model's replies began to appear in the dialog box.
"This is a typical chicken-and-rabbit cohabitation problem. There are two relatively simple ways to solve it. One is logical reasoning. The specific process is..."
"Another method is to calculate a system of equations. Let the number of chickens be x..."
"In the end, both methods resulted in 12 rabbits and 23 chickens."
Fang Daqiang was stunned. "Are these not pre-set questions? The kind that directly return the corresponding answer?"
Fang Yuxin opened a dialog box and typed in it: "Please simulate a normal human being to conduct the following conversation."
The dialog box flashed twice. "Okay, now I will simulate a normal human being and have the following conversation."
Fang Yu gave up his seat, and the other party said, "You can talk to it yourself. You can talk about anything and see its reply."
Fang Daqiang sat in front of the computer with great interest. After thinking for a while, his fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard: "My son suddenly asks me for 120 million yuan. What should I do?"
The dialog box on the screen flashed: "Is he crazy? I suggest you pay more attention to your son's mental condition and determine whether medical intervention is necessary."
Fang Yu's face darkened. It seemed that Orange would need at least two more rounds of data cleaning and training, and the parameters also needed to be adjusted.
Fang Daqiang burst into laughter and typed on the keyboard: "It's true, he is in my office now."
The dialog box flashed: "You are awesome, you have so much money, Dad, do you still need a son?"
Fang Daqiang's smile suddenly stopped and he took a breath: "This can definitely pass the Turing test, right?"
These two conversations seem simple, but in fact, the abilities displayed by the Orange model are already terrifying.
First, it needs to understand Fang Daqiang's first ambiguous sentence in a human context: "One hundred and twenty million. One hundred and twenty million of what? Your son? Who is your son? Why one hundred and twenty million?"
This sentence alone, if strictly judged by a machine, would have countless possible meanings. The AI would first have to select the most likely one. Secondly, based on common sense, 120 million Great Zhou coins is a lifetime fortune for most people. So, what does it mean when a son suddenly asks his father for 120 million?
Even a trained artificial intelligence model would most likely reply that you should first ask why your son wants 120 million, and based on his answer, blah blah blah.
And what about the orange model? He begins with a rhetorical question, questioning whether the interlocutor's son is thinking normally and whether this is a joke.
Its second reply was even more outrageous. When Fang Daqiang confirmed that this was true, the Orange Model did not immediately reply to Fang Daqiang's first question based on the new conditions. Instead, it remotely associated the questioner with 120 million yuan, saying that he must be a rich man. Based on this, humans would jokingly recognize their father.
These two replies are the thinking that only humans can have!
Seeing Fang Yu's smug look, Fang Daqiang became suspicious: "Could it be that the person on the other end is actually replying?"
Fang Yu shook his head. "This is the multi-head attention mechanism I just mentioned. After training with the dataset, the Orange model can now clearly understand human semantics. It can even understand most unclear instructions and give relatively accurate feedback."
"Currently, Google, Fuse, and Qianxun have all invested heavily in deep learning. Google, in particular, has made significant breakthroughs in deep neural networks with its Google Brain. However, they are still at the theoretical stage and have yet to truly develop a large-scale AI model."
"You mean, your company's artificial intelligence technology is already the best in the world? Even better than Google?" Fang Daqiang was a little bit unbelieving.
He is not an old-fashioned person who has no knowledge of science and technology. Although he does not understand the development of AI, he has paid attention to some technology news and has some vague understanding of Google's current leading position in artificial intelligence.
"That's not quite right. We can only say that in terms of general artificial intelligence, Yuzu Technology's core algorithm is currently a generation ahead of all its competitors. However, if we don't continue to invest, other companies may quickly catch up."
Fang Yu said half-truthfully.
"Is 120 million enough?" Fang Daqiang pondered. "Should Wanfang invest more as an angel investor? 10% of 200 million, how about that?"
Fang Yu was puzzled. "Does Wanfang have that much money now? Aren't you guys trying your best to acquire land? Just now, He Baoming was complaining to me about the high financing costs."
He Baoming is Wanfang's chief financial officer and has followed Fang Daqiang for many years. Naturally, he is also very familiar with Fang Yu.
Fang Daqiang continued to brew tea. "The cash flow has been decent in the past few months, with good returns and decent profits. Furthermore, the cost of acquiring land is expected to soar in 2062. Wanfang only plans to acquire land for another year, so by the end of next year at the latest, we'll have to make the transition."
Fang Yu nodded in understanding.
When the father and son talked behind closed doors, they naturally wouldn't say anything high-sounding.
In fact, this is also the consensus of some real estate developers in Dazhou. They actually have a clearer understanding and prediction of the future development direction of real estate than anyone else.
It’s just that some are too greedy and insist on reaching the top before retreating, while some are in a difficult situation and have no choice but to drink poison to quench their thirst.
Wanfang's concerns in this regard are much smaller. Real estate now accounts for a significant portion of Wanfang's business, exceeding 70% of the group's total business volume. This year, sales revenue from real estate alone is expected to reach 25 billion yuan. As the land parcels acquired this year enter the development and sales phase next year, Wanfang's real estate sales are expected to exceed 50 billion yuan.
This scale is actually not small, and its sales have already ranked among the top 50 developers in Dazhou.
But Wanfang started late after all, and its historical burden is not that heavy, so the resistance to transformation is not that great.
Fang Yu had an idea and thought, this is a good idea. It would save him from having to tell his father where the gold came from.
It was easy to sell dozens of kilograms of gold, but now it is hundreds of kilograms. If you sell it all at once, it will be a bit hot to handle.
Originally, Fang Yu wanted to take over a small, less-regarded financial services company under Wanfang from his father, and then use the 600 kilograms of gold to do spot futures and asset securitization. It would be easy to launder the more than 600 kilograms of gold in exchange for sufficient cash.
And if you add leverage, you can earn nearly 10 million in transaction fees every year.
Hundreds of kilograms of gold would be a problem for an individual, but for a company like Wanfang, it is not difficult at all to handle.
But there is also a problem with this, which is how to explain the source of the gold to Fang Daqiang.
Although Fang Daqiang's educational method has always been to let his son do what he wants, it is impossible for him to ignore the source of his son's gold of more than 100 million.
The more than 100 million gold is not the problem; the risk represented by more than 100 million gold is the problem.
Moreover, Fang Daqiang's valuation of Youzi Technology definitely demonstrates the deep affection between father and son.
There is no technology company that has a valuation of 2 billion yuan as soon as it is established.
Even Panda TV, which was founded by the national husband a few months ago, has been very popular since its inception. Initially, 360 only spent 10 or 20 million yuan to acquire a 20% stake.
"Dad, you should invest it yourself, don't use Wanfang." Fang Yu touched his chin and thought for a while.
Fang Daqiang understood what his son meant as soon as he heard it.
"That's good. It saves the minority shareholders from complaining." Fang Daqiang sipped his tea. "By the way, let me play with that AI for a while."
Fang Yu reconnected to the server: "Right now, the large model is still unstable and will give incorrect answers. You have to identify the final information yourself."
Fang Daqiang took the keyboard, rubbed his hands, and was very interested.
He likes new things like this. Today he saw such an interesting thing, which was developed by his own son. How could he not be interested?
Fang Yu was playing Wii on the side. After more than 20 minutes, he turned around and looked at Fang Daqiang. Lao Deng frowned and stared at the computer screen.
"Dad, what are you talking about? So serious?" Fang Yu was curious and went to take a look at the screen, only to see various report analyses appearing on the screen.
"I just asked it what the best investment opportunities are in the next ten years." Fang Daqiang was still staring at the screen.
Fang Yu had never asked the Orange Model this question before, so he asked curiously, "How did the AI answer?"
Fang Daqiang flipped the dialog box upwards: "The answer is very brief, but I always feel that there is something wrong."
Fang Yu looked over and saw a very brief sentence in the dialog box.
“The best investment opportunities over the next decade are Bitcoin and Nvidia.”
I worked until around 3 o'clock yesterday, and when I felt dizzy, I clicked "publish" and went to bed. However, I failed to publish it. Today I slept until 12 o'clock, and when I woke up I realized that it was a good thing I didn't publish it. I wrote it completely off track yesterday when I was dizzy, so I quickly changed it back.
Then, I just discovered that the chapter I posted yesterday was automatically reviewed, modified and partially deleted.
All the dirty talk is gone.
