Chapter 1672 Maybe It’s a Scam
The next morning came in a blink of an eye. Yu Zhiming was preparing to have breakfast when Gu Qingran came unexpectedly again.
Gu Qingran sat down at the dining table without any hesitation, reached out and picked up a boiled egg, cracking it while saying, "I came here specifically to talk to you about what Zhai Yan was planning."
"He wants to hold a public live broadcast to compete with medical AI in disease diagnosis."
"The purpose is, of course, to raise funds!"
Gu Qingran further explained: "The research and development of medical AI is a high-investment project that requires a lot of money."
Yu Zhiming took a sip of the Cordyceps Pigeon Soup and said, "Given the performance of that medical AI, if he can just find a few big companies to demonstrate it to, he's sure there'll be no shortage of investment, right?"
Gu Qingran devoured the egg in two bites, took another sip of soup, and then replied, "That guy has a huge appetite. Do you know what his financing target is?"
He held up three fingers and shook them, saying, "At least 30 billion. They say they want to build the world's best medical AI."
"Such a large amount of financing cannot be met by a few large companies. More importantly, he also wants to negotiate good and relaxed financing conditions."
"That's why he wanted to hype up Life No. 1 Medical AI through a public competition with you, so that more investors can see the role and broad application prospects of medical AI."
"Faced with so many investors flocking in, waving checks, Zhai Yan had the initiative in negotiations and could secure investments with the most favorable terms."
Qing Ning pondered and said, "Brother, the public competition between Medical AI and Zhiming is, firstly, leveraging Zhiming's reputation as the nation's top doctor and the best diagnoser, and secondly, it's also like having Zhiming endorse their Medical AI."
"That guy named Zhai Yan, if I'm not mistaken, should have offered Zhiming generous conditions, right?"
Gu Qingran stretched out two fingers again and gestured, saying, "Two points of shares."
"Once this round of financing is successful, Zhai Yan's company's valuation will definitely exceed 100 billion yuan."
"A two-point stake would cost at least 2 billion."
After a pause, Gu Qingran continued, "He also offered Ning An a condition: 3 billion investment and 10 points of shares."
"Zhiming, what do you think?"
Yu Zhiming frowned unconsciously and asked, "Brother, do you know Zhai Yan?"
Gu Qingran said: "To be honest, I have come into contact with him once before because of the medical AI of the self-service hospital!"
"He was born into a medical family. His father was a renowned medical expert at Union Hospital. If he hadn't passed away from illness over a decade ago, he would have definitely been elected a medical academician."
Gu Qingran took a sip of his soup and continued, "It's said that Zhai Yan was interested in computers, but under his father's strong pressure, he still studied medicine."
"Shortly after his father's death, he gave up medicine and turned to computer programming. He then had a rollercoaster of entrepreneurial ventures. Only in the last three to five years has he gained some fame in the field of medical AI."
"I also met him through someone else's introduction."
Gu Qingran looked at Yu Zhiming with a pensive expression and asked, "Zhiming, don't you believe him?"
Yu Zhiming said slowly, "I haven't seen their Life No. 1 medical AI, but with this system, it can compete with the combination of Gong Yue, Qiu Yi, Zhou Luo, and Duan Yi..."
"The ability displayed is too incredible, it's simply unbelievable."
"Has medical AI achieved such a breakthrough?"
Yu Zhiming's words finally calmed Gu Qingran's excited heart.
He knew that Yu Zhiming was devoted to medicine and almost turned a deaf ear to the world outside the window. He didn't know much about matters outside of medicine, but that didn't mean that Yu Zhiming had lost his judgment.
On the contrary, it is precisely because of Yu Zhiming's purity that his judgment of people and things has a precision that penetrates the phenomenon and reaches the essence.
Putting aside other things, no matter what the reason, the projects that Yu Zhiming is optimistic about and involved in have achieved very good results so far.
Gu Qingran pondered and said, "Zhiming, are you suspecting that the ability displayed by Life Number One is seriously fake?"
Yu Zhiming said: "I don't have any evidence, so I dare not say that. I just feel that his ability is a bit against the will of heaven."
"However, the capabilities demonstrated by medical AI are already fully capable of being put into practical application."
Yu Zhiming further analyzed: "Since it can be put into practical application, it can be promoted through real applications, and grow step by step without giving up more profits."
"He's been promoting and raising funds so loudly that it makes me feel like he's trying to scam people out of their money."
Qing Ning said, "Hubby, since you don't feel well, then we refuse. Although 2 billion is a lot, we are not short of money."
"If he really did what you said and ran away with the money, we would be the ones taking the blame because, in a way, we endorsed this medical AI."
Qing Ning looked at Zhou Mo, who was quietly eating breakfast next to her, and asked, "Momo, what do you think?"
Zhou Mo said softly, "I also think that Dr. Yu's analysis makes sense. The performance of medical AI is really amazing."
She added, "I once read an article about a huge medical scam in the United States."
"A medical company claimed that it could detect all diseases in the body with just a drop of blood. This was later confirmed to be a scam, as it is impossible to detect all diseases with just a drop of blood. It is said that many well-known American leaders were deceived into investing in this company."
Gu Qingran said, "I know about this scam. Many celebrities have endorsed it. I was in the United States when it was exposed as a scam."
He looked at Yu Zhiming and asked, "Zhiming, if this medical AI is also a scam, how did it do it?"
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "It's very simple. The people doing the analysis aren't cold medical AIs, but a group of real, experienced medical experts."
Gu Qingran nodded gently and said thoughtfully, "There must not be many medical experts with such skills, and for the sake of confidentiality, seven or eight, or more than ten at most."
"We can launch another test, mobilizing 30 or 40 people to compete against the medical AI simultaneously."
"If it is really put into large-scale use in the future, this medical AI will have to serve thousands or even tens of thousands of doctors at the same time."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "My guess is that Zhai Yan will most likely refuse on the grounds that the medical AI's performance is still insufficient and it can only serve one or two people at a time."
Gu Qingran said in a deep voice: "If that's the case, then it's very likely that this is really a scam."
"I'll contact Zhai Yan again."
He decided, "I will arrange for someone to conduct a secret and in-depth investigation into Zhai Yan and his company, focusing on the retired medical experts who work at Zhai Yan's company."
Qing Ning suddenly said, "Brother, we must make sure it's a scam and not let them off easily."
"How dare you take advantage of Zhiming's fame and even try to make us take the blame? You really don't want to live anymore."
