Chapter 558: No matter what, I have to thank Senior Luo for that 1080
After chatting for a while, they picked up their coats and prepared to go out for dinner.
With the current financial resources of the three of them, it would not be a problem for them to rent a house or even buy a large flat in the core area for more than 10 million yuan. In fact, Lu Xuechang did buy it, but the few of them still lived in the dormitory most of the time, and no one tacitly mentioned moving out.
"The weather forecast said the temperature would drop, but it doesn't seem that cold. What should I eat?" Luo Ziming exhaled, and a cloud of white mist appeared in the air.
"I guess I'm used to living in Haixi. The cold isn't bad, but it's too dry. A bit of snow would be nice."
Lu Xuechang had his hair combed like an adult, wore a flashy Burberry coat, and wore Montblanc gold-rimmed glasses, looking like a gentleman. He was holding a mobile phone and flirting with some internet celebrity.
Ever since he broke up with the green tea girl Li Yinnan, he has completely opened the door to a new world. Now he gives gifts to various female anchors on his platform every day and asks them to meet up.
Most of them are anchors from the same city.
"Since it's getting colder, let's go to Yihecheng in the east gate. They have hot pot hot pot meat. After that, we can go play some script-killing games. There's a new script-killing game right next to Yihecheng. I heard that the scripts are all of good quality. Maybe there will be girls if we team up temporarily."
Luo Ziming still has evil intentions.
Fang Yu glanced at her phone and said, "I'm fine with dinner, but I won't go to the script-killing show. I have an appointment."
The three adopted sons rolled their eyes. Needless to say, they knew that Lao Fang must have made an agreement with a woman.
"Time flies by so fast. Another year has passed. By this time next year, those of us in this class will be taking postgraduate entrance exams or doing internships. When we gather together, we are like a fire, but when we disperse, we become stars in the sky. Sigh."
Huang Xiang looked at the trees on both sides that had lost all their leaves, feeling a mixture of emotion and sadness in the middle of winter.
"Speaking of postgraduate entrance exams, have you noticed? I looked at the registration statistics a few days ago and found that the number of seniors choosing to take the postgraduate entrance exam in electronic information and computer science has doubled, but the overall proportion of postgraduate entrance exams has dropped by 1 percentage point, and the number of civil service exams has also dropped by a few tenths of a percentage point."
Luo Ziming was very excited.
"It's normal. The economy is good this year and all companies are hiring."
Fang Yu said casually.
In recent years, the economic growth of Da Zhou has been quite strong. Although there is no longer an obsession with "maintaining 7% growth", the growth has not slowed down at all. In the first half of the year alone, the GDP growth rate exceeded 6.8%.
In the second half of the year, influenced by global risk-averse funds, Dazhou's economic growth became even stronger. Both fixed asset investment and industrial asset investment as well as total import and export volume hit new highs. The GDP growth in the first half of the year returned to the 7-digit range, approaching 7.5%!
Especially in terms of industrial asset investment, the Orange model is a typical multimodal model. Almost all industrial enterprises do not need to spend too much R&D investment to introduce AI into the industrial automation system and management system, greatly improving production and management efficiency.
Due to strong foreign exports, the improvement in efficiency has not yet led to large-scale layoffs. Instead, the demand for talents in deep learning, artificial intelligence, and electronic information has seen a surge.
The employment situation of electronic information college students who graduated this year is very good. Many senior students have already received several different offers, and the salaries are not low.
Moreover, the popularization of AI and short videos has also brought more tracks.
For example, the emergence of AI has lowered the entry threshold for self-media, and the number of self-media has grown almost exponentially in half a year.
Another example is the doll industry. Well, I won’t talk about this. Not being allowed to advertise also affects the fertility rate.
As for the already booming intelligent robot industry, it has made even greater progress. Whether it is a shopping mall, a hotel or a bank, there are service robots everywhere, roaming around and talking to people.
In fact, these are just superficial changes brought about by AI. The truly profound changes are often almost imperceptible to ordinary people.
For example, the fragrance industry.
In the past few months, a fragrance startup called Xiren has suddenly emerged. (Note 1)
They were the first to introduce large AI models into the fragrance system, focusing on the 2B market, and achieved amazing results in commercial scenarios in just half a year.
Xiren's core product is an intelligent system that integrates visual emotion recognition and environmental data analysis. It can measure the mood swings, psychological state, and behavioral trends of people in a venue in real time, and automatically adjust the type and concentration of fragrance in the air.
This seemingly invisible adjustment can accurately intervene in people's behavior at the subconscious level.
For example, it can extend the stay time in retail spaces, relieve anxiety in office spaces, and enhance the sense of luxury and pleasure in high-end places.
Taking Haipu IFC as an example, after fully deploying the "Xiren" system, the management Sun Hung Kai found that the use of spices decreased by 10-20%, the average length of stay increased by 11%, and the sales conversion rate increased by 17%!
This is a company that has been established for less than a year.
Its revenue in half a year has exceeded 40 million yuan, and it is currently negotiating a Pre-A round of equity financing with the Spanish fragrance giant PUIG, with a valuation of 300 million yuan.
"Xiren" is not an isolated case.
This type of enterprise, which relies on AI model capabilities and seems to have nothing to do with high technology, is quietly emerging in every corner of the city.
Some of them are derived from traditional industries, while others are completely new categories and industries spawned by AI.
When boys get together, chatting and talking nonsense is their greatest joy. After chatting for more than ten minutes, they arrived at Yihecheng at the east gate of National University.
When we arrived, we found that we still had to queue up. There were seven or eight tables in front of us, so we had to wait for at least forty minutes.
Yihecheng is also an old brand with a history of more than 20 years, but the store is not very big, with only a dozen four-person tables and two large round tables.
Although it was not well-known in the past, it was one of the favorites of foodies in the surrounding area. It also did business with the locals. Occasionally there would be queues, but it was not so exaggerated.
In fact, the taste of Yihecheng is just so-so. The meat can only be considered fresh, and the condiments are fragrant, but they are not the best. The main reason for its popularity is that it is cheap and comes in large quantities.
A pound of frozen lamb rolls costs 32 yuan, and it is a real 500 grams.
In the past, they came to eat hot pot, which cost 150 yuan, and four people could leave by holding on to the wall.
Where can I find this price today in 3062?
But in the past six months or so, ever since a big internet celebrity came to visit the store, Yihecheng has inexplicably become an internet celebrity store, with many foreign tourists checking in, and some waiting in line for more than an hour.
A few people were too lazy to change seats. They held their phones and played Shanhaijie on Rice Mix while waiting in line. They waited for almost an hour before their number was called.
"Senior Luo?"
Just as they were about to follow the waiter to their seats, they heard a delicate girl's voice coming from behind them.
When the four of them turned around, they saw a short-haired girl looking at Luo Ziming with surprise.
The girl is pretty good-looking and has a decent figure. Her foundation should be around 65 cents, and with makeup it can reach around 72 cents.
She is the type of pretty girl in school who is always popular.
To digress a little, girls with this score actually have the most suitors.
People like Lu Jiayan and Shen Shuyao don't have many admirers.
The main reason is that many boys have a poor sense of "worthiness" and lack self-confidence, and always feel that such girls are not the ones they should think about.
There were a few boys around the short-haired girl. One of them was wearing glasses and had a lazy look on his face. He put his arm around the short-haired girl's shoulders. It was obvious that the two had a special relationship.
The boy was not short, between 1.83 and 1.85 meters, tall and thin, with fleshless cheeks, small eyes, watery eyes, round-frame glasses, and tinfoil-curled hair, with a head full of yellow hair. He was wearing a long milky white linen goose coat, the authenticity of which was unknown.
Seeing the calluses on the boy's hands, Fang Yu couldn't help but blink.
When they saw the young couple, Huang Xiang and Lu Xuechang winked at each other, their eyes and eyebrows raised.
Luo Ziming looked embarrassed.
Lu Xuechang whispered a few words in Fang Yu's ear, and Fang Yu immediately understood that this girl was the Lin Zihan just mentioned.
That man should be the one who cheated Luo Ziming out of 1,080 yuan.
Fang Yu didn't have any bad feelings towards this guy. If someone tried to seduce his woman, he would definitely do something even more excessive.
"Zi-Junior sister Zihan, why are you here?"
Luo Ziming pursed his lips, glanced at the yellow-haired man's hand on Lin Zihan's shoulder, and quickly looked away.
"I came here with my boyfriend and his classmates." Lin Zihan's eyes curved into two crescents as she smiled. "He came from Ezhou and found out this place is on the Haixi must-eat list, so we came here."
As he spoke, Lin Zihan waved and greeted Lu Xuechang and Huang Xiang, saying hello, "Seniors."
When seeing Fang Yu, Lin Zihan's expression was obviously curious, but it was obvious that she didn't know Fang Yu.
Lu Xuechang and Huang Xiang taunted Fang Yu in a sneaky voice, "It seems not all the girls at National University know you, Mr. Fang."
No matter how famous a campus figure is, there are still some people you don’t know in a huge national university with 60,000 students.
Fang Yu snorted, curled his lips and said nothing.
Ignorant youngster, she has no qualifications to know me at all.
"Oh oh oh, okay, you guys continue to line up, we'll go in first." Luo Ziming greeted Lin Zihan a little embarrassedly, turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait a minute, Senior Luo." Lin Zihan called out to Luo Ziming.
"My boyfriend and his friends have a flight at 10pm, but the line here is too long. I'm worried he'll miss the flight after finishing his meal. I see there are four of you, too. Can you switch seats with us?"
Lin Zihan clasped his hands together, blinking his big eyes with a pleading look on his face.
"this……"
Seeing Luo Ziming's embarrassment, Lin Zihan hurriedly said, "We are number 17, and you are number 8. You see, we are only number 9 away, so we can't wait much longer."
"Please help me, please~"
"Since you can't wait long, just wait a little longer."
Lu Xuechang was unhappy. He first glared at Luo Ziming in anger at his lack of fighting spirit, and then glanced at the freshman who was only 1.6 meters tall with disdain.
Why are you pretending? With these conditions, let alone the 16-yuan model group, even the 12-yuan beauty group is hard to come by, let alone the anchor lady who can let me give tips to the carnival.
A lot of the money Lu Xuechang earned was contributed to Fang Daqiang's Diamond Dynasty and Fang Yu's Tabo.
After hearing what Lu Xuechang said, Lin Zihan's expression suddenly fell, and she looked at her boyfriend for help.
"Brother, if you don't want to let me go, then don't. There's no need to be so aggressive when speaking." The yellow-haired boyfriend put down his phone and said to Lu Xuechang with a relaxed expression and lazy tone.
Lu Xuechang glanced at his yellow-haired boyfriend and thought, "Who are you talking to, little bastard? Do you know who I am?" Just as he was about to speak, Fang Yu pulled him aside.
"Let Lao Luo handle this matter himself."
Fang Yu glanced at the couple, and patted Luo Ziming's shoulder with a half-smile: "Old Luo, you proposed this, it's up to you whether to give in or not."
Luo Ziming felt that everyone's eyes seemed to be focused on him. It was true that he was a bit of a showman, but many people didn't know that, generally speaking, people with a showmanlike personality were afraid of embarrassing situations.
Once you encounter this embarrassing situation, it will be like a thorn stuck in your heart. The more you think about it, the more nervous you will become, and the more uncomfortable you will feel.
Social psychology believes that embarrassment is a "self-conscious emotion" that often stems from a mismatch between the self and the expectations of others.
People with histrionic personality disorder are overly dependent on the opinions of others and regard embarrassment in social situations as a signal of "self-failure", so they have a low tolerance for embarrassing situations.
Many personality tests that cost 9.9 yuan classify histrionic personality as extroverted E-people and social cows, which is actually nonsense.
The more histrionic a person is, the more sensitive they are and the more social anxiety they have.
Luo Ziming suppressed his nervousness, swallowed his saliva, and said apologetically: "Zi Han, I'm sorry, we have something to do later, please wait a moment..."
At this point, Luo Ziming felt a little embarrassed again and rubbed his hands: "How about this, the place next door is not bad either. You guys go to the place next door and I'll pay the bill later. It's my treat."
Seeing Luo Ziming's cowardly look, Lu Xuechang was almost furious.
It's really a hopeless case of using up one's strength.
Do you know where you are now?
With a net worth of over 100 million and being an E-level executive at a BlackRock subsidiary, his monthly income is more than what this couple will earn in their entire lives. Is there any need to be polite to them?
What's more, this guy obviously played you for a fool before, and even pretended to be Lin Zihan to cheat you out of a GTX1080.
Money is not a problem, but it is a humiliation, don't you know?
After Luo Ziming said this, the yellow-haired boyfriend's eyes lit up obviously. Before he could say anything, Lin Zihan spoke first.
"No need, Senior Luo, let's continue queuing."
Lin Zihan had a dull expression, and there was a clear hint of displeasure on his face.
The yellow-haired boyfriend had a look of regret on his face. He moved his hand from Lin Zihan's shoulder to her waist, rubbing it lightly.
Fang Yu nodded secretly. Sure enough, this was also a thief who liked the Minotaur.
Being a thief is a kind of mentality. Even if it is your girlfriend, bullying men who admire her in front of her and deliberately showing intimacy with her in front of her suitors is also a kind of thief mentality.
"Okay, okay, you guys line up." Luo Ziming rubbed his hands awkwardly, turned around and lowered his head to find the seat the waiter had just pointed out to them.
"Boss, two pounds of lamb rolls, two pounds of fresh-cut pork belly, frozen tofu, cabbage, vermicelli... a platter, right? Okay, then a vegetable platter, and a serving of tripe. Oh, and 20 more grilled kidneys."
"Take two heads of pickled garlic."
"Get it myself? I've heard your service is getting worse and worse."
Lu Xuechang ordered the dishes familiarly without asking the others what they wanted to eat.
We have been living together for almost three years, and I know what I want to eat and what I don’t want to eat without asking.
Luo Ziming glanced nervously at the queue area at the door from time to time. If Fang Yu hadn't given Lu Xuechang a sharp look, Lu Xuechang would have criticized Luo Ziming to death for this meal.
It was not until he drank two bottles of beer that Luo Ziming's mood returned to normal and he rejoined the bragging camp.
"Lao Luo, look, they're already in line, sitting over there."
Lu Xuechang picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and happened to see Lin Zihan and the three boys sitting far away against the wall.
Maybe it was the peak turnover period, and five or six tables of guests left in a row. Adding those who took numbers and didn't want to wait, it only took half an hour for Lin Zihan and his friends to get a seat in line.
Luo Ziming pretended to be nonchalant and said "oh", but his mood obviously subsided immediately.
A few people chatted for a few more words, and Fang Yu glanced over and saw the yellow-haired man coming over with a rebellious smile on his face, carrying two bottles of beer.
"Senior Luo, right? I'm sorry for what happened earlier. Zihan is naive. Let me come over and toast you."
Luo Ziming obviously didn't expect this to happen. He stood up subconsciously and awkwardly and picked up the glass.
"Drink first as a sign of respect."
The yellow-haired man shook the bottle twice and spun it directly.
Luo Ziming gritted his teeth and drank the wine in the glass. This amount of wine was nothing to him, but this kind of occasion was what he was least good at dealing with.
"Are you done? We have something to discuss. Let's eat our own food."
Lu Xuechang disliked this kid anyway and said coldly.
"How can that be possible? The bottle I just gave you was to apologize to Zi Han, and I haven't given you mine yet."
Huangmao grinned, raised another bottle of wine and licked his lips.
"I have to thank Senior Luo for giving me... Isn't that the 1080 that our Zihan has?"
