Blind Date in Time and Space

At half past ten in the evening, Zhou Wan returned home.

This is Xianghua Mountain located in Qingjiang District, Haicheng. There are more than 30 large single-family villas and more than 50 small villas built on a slightly shorter hill.

Her villa is No. 8, located halfway up the mountain. From a high position, you can see the bustling urban area of ​​Haicheng.

The villa covers an area of ​​nearly 4,000 square meters and is surrounded by gardens. When Zhou Wan returned home, the fragrant smell of flowers blooming in the garden came from the garden.

Not to mention compared to the old house that Chen Ji rented, this villa is not inferior to any luxury house in Haicheng.

but.

Zhou Wan had no intention of admiring the beautiful scenery inside the mansion.

She walked into the villa through the four-door door and immediately saw a beautiful woman in elegant clothes sitting on the sofa in the ten-meter-high living room decorated with huge crystal chandeliers, holding a fashion book published abroad. Reading magazines.

This is her mother, Quqin, the founder of Yaqin Jewelry.

Zhou Wan's high-heeled shoes made a sound to deliberately startle her. After she raised her head, she nodded slightly and walked along the carpeted spiral staircase to the third floor.

Due to differences in some matters, the relationship between Zhou Wan and her mother has been a bit tense recently.

Not easy to say hello.

"came back?"

Her mother spoke and stopped her in a cold voice.

"Um."

"I heard that you are on a blind date with an 'ordinary' boy?"

Quqin specially emphasized the word "normal" to show that she already roughly knew the information about the boy she had a blind date with at the Love Restaurant.

Zhou Wan felt dissatisfied in her heart and said coldly: "Yes. But if you want to say that he is ordinary, I suggest you, mother, pay attention to the gaming industry."

"Isn't this ordinary?"

Quqin's voice became louder, "I was born in a small county town, and I didn't have any outstanding experiences growing up. I didn't buy a house for a few years after graduation. Don't you know how big the gap is between you and me?"

Judging from Zhou Wan's tone, she seemed quite satisfied with him, which made Qu Qin even more angry:

She has introduced so many outstanding boys to her, from foreign plutocrats to wealthy children in China, which one is not as outstanding as Prince Charming? She must be good-looking, well-educated, have been abroad, and have an international perspective. She must be able to help her in business in the future. The combination of the two parties is even more powerful...

But no matter what Quqin said, her daughter was just unhappy and not tempted by any man!

And even went on a blind date!

I simply don’t know what to say about her!

"Isn't Shen Xiu good?"

Holding a copy of the fashion magazine Quqin in his hand, he said again: "He is the same age as you. He has always had a soft spot for you and pursued you since he was a child. Not to mention how his family is, at least he also has a master's degree. We have a common language."

Shen Xiu, Pan Fanghe, Jiang Lu and others have been Zhou Wan's friends since childhood. Shen Xiu likes her, but Zhou Wan can see that Pan Fanghe likes Shen Xiu very much.

"I have my own plans."

Zhou Wan didn't say much about Chen Ji. After leaving a word, she walked up to the third floor, entered her room, and closed the door tightly.

"Huh~."

Zhou Wan let out a long breath and soaked alone in the large bathtub. Her white body was soaked in hot water sprinkled with floral dew. Outside the window was the faint street lamp of Xianghua Mountain.

She closed her eyes, rested her head on the towel, and thought about what had happened in the past few days in her mind.

From the beginning of the dream, to the official meeting with Chen Ji, to Xia Shumin, and the release of the game.

She actually met a noble lady from the ancient world.

Moreover, this lady can also practice martial arts, and has also continued to write Dream of Red Mansions. Although she does not know anything about modern things, her literary talent and diction are first-rate.

How many such things has Chen Ji experienced?

What kind of apocalyptic disaster did Zhou Wan in another world encounter?

There is no doubt that the appearance of Chen Ji and those dreams completely disrupted her life plan.

Before meeting Chen Ji, Zhou Wan lived and worked step by step. If nothing unexpected happened, she would make her investment company a well-known large-scale consortium at home and abroad, with a net worth of hundreds of billions.

But after meeting Chen Ji, Zhou Wan suddenly felt that her struggle seemed meaningless.

After Zhou Wan in another world encountered the apocalypse, she couldn't even afford a piece of bread and hid in the basement of her home shivering.

And Chen Ji, if he takes out an AI at will and makes a game, he dares to value it at tens of billions.

Zhou Wan can be sure that Chen Ji has something stronger that he has not yet come up with. If he does, he can easily change the whole world.

"well……"

Zhou Wan sighed softly while soaking in the bathtub.

Everyone is curious. After knowing these things, her heart could not calm down.

"Let's take one step at a time."

"Go to another world first and see the other me..."

Thinking of another world, Zhou Wan became excited.

She admitted that she was very interested in several worlds that Chen Ji had told her about, civilizations that did not belong to the earth, and just taking a look at them could satisfy people's curiosity.

Zhou Wan picked up her phone and started searching for how to deal with the low temperature of 20 to 30 degrees below zero.

…

the next day.

"For the AI ​​created by Ma Yien, the valuation of tens of billions is a bit low."

In the apocalyptic world, after listening to Chen Ji's words, Zhou Wan smiled and replied to him: "If it were me, I would spend tens of billions to invest. The application of artificial intelligence goes far beyond games."

"So I limit the application of AI to only a few fields, otherwise I'm afraid it will cause the global stock market to collapse."

"Hehe, it's true... So do you want to discuss business with 'me' these days?"

Zhou Wan is looking forward to dreaming about another scene in Chen Ji's world where Zhou Wan goes to discuss business with him.

In her dream, she could easily step into the perspective of 24-year-old Zhou Wan, looking at Chen Ji in front of her.

Last night, she dreamed about promoting the game with Chen Ji. She even saw the wealthy lady from the martial arts world in her dream.

"should be."

Chen Ji thought for a moment, "Have you been busy lately?"

"Not yet, the sun is still dim. After the sun shines, the wild changes a lot, and there are many strange mutant plants. I don't know if they are affected by the 'Dead Nest' you mentioned."

The black flowers produced by the Chaos Shadow of the Evil God appear in the four worlds, and the Brood of Death and the Eye of Corruption are likely to follow.

Chen Ji chatted with her for a while, and after hanging up, he immediately received a call from Xiao Zhou Wan.

"are you in the company?"

"At home, what's wrong?"

"Some investors should come to you today. Do you want to meet them?"

"I don't really want to see you. Do you have to see me?"

Chen Ji has no interest in business, as long as the company can earn several hundred million.

If he really wants to develop in business, Imaien can defeat global Internet technology companies alone.

"It's not necessary to meet."

Zhou Wan thought for a while and said to him: "According to the current game performance, it is not difficult to be valued at tens of billions, but a company may not take risks. Series A financing can allow one company to lead the investment, and other companies to follow the investment, and the financing is tentative Three billion, what do you think?”

For Chen Ji, financing means selling shares to make money.

"No problem, I listen to you, you are professional in business."

Chen Ji smiled and said: "I only have one request. While I can make money, I can retain my absolute control over the AI. I can authorize it to them, but other companies can't mess around."

"Shall I make a financing plan for you?"

"You're welcome, thank you!"

"You're welcome. I'll show it to you tomorrow. I won't be taking calls from investors today."

Zhou Wan chuckled lightly.

When she got up in the morning, her words were almost blown away. Those who smelled the capital carnival found connections and found her parents.

Her mother was so shocked that she kept asking "Chen Ji" who he was and how she ended up on a blind date with him.

This made Zhou Wan feel proud.

Putting aside those dreams, after seeing the games Chen Ji made, she was very optimistic about the development of his company.

The day passed uneventfully.

Only people in the gaming industry witnessed the birth of a dark horse:

"Zhao Guo Jiang Hu" exceeded 7 million online.

The soaring popularity directly dominated the hot searches on major forums and websites.

The amazing performance of the AI ​​random algorithm used in "The Kingdom of Zhao" has spread all over the world and has become the latest artificial intelligence technology that has attracted worldwide attention.

To put it bluntly, the AI ​​performance in "Zhao Guojianghu" has already surpassed major Internet companies in the world by a large margin, and has powerful capabilities to change related industries, painting, intelligent voice, games and other fields.

The valuation of tens of billions was easily achieved.

Major investment institutions and companies, without learning more about the application of random AI algorithms, only cautiously gave a valuation of 20 billion - mainly speculating on the potential of applying this kind of AI to games.

the next day.

Chen Ji, Zhou Wan, Liu Ping, president of Penguin Game Department, and several senior executives from Penguin Company made an appointment to discuss business in a coffee shop.

Chen Ji said before that investment should only be discussed under the premise of a valuation of tens of billions. This has now been changed.

Investment can only be discussed under the premise of a valuation of 20 billion.

"We show our utmost sincerity!"

Liu Ping said to Chen Ji with a smile on his face: "I also like Mr. Chen to tell us more about the capabilities, or potential, of the Mayien random algorithm you created!"

Another executive nodded and said: "AI is the darling of capital in the Internet, autonomous driving, medical and other fields. In comparison, the gaming field is only a small application."

He wanted more.

In the apocalyptic world, the Mayen I-type artificial intelligence is limited by the shortage of supplies. But in the normal world, artificial intelligence only shows a little power, and major Internet companies flock to it.

Chen Ji said to them: "Let me tell you some of my company's future plans."

"All ears!"

Several executives treated Chen Ji respectfully.

Being able to write such an artificial intelligence has proven that Chen Ji is an irreplaceable talent. He will also show his talents in the field of artificial intelligence in the future. There are many areas where Penguin can cooperate with him.

"First, Zhao Guojianghu will release an overseas version."

"Overseas version? Are you sure?!"

Chen Ji's words cheered up Liu Ping and others.

Of course, ordinary games have overseas versions, and it is not difficult to translate them.

However, "The Kingdom of Zhao" randomly generates a large amount of text, from dialogues to storylines, and there is no way to translate it using ordinary methods. We can only rely on Chen Ji to lead the team to change the AI ​​to generate other languages.

Just such a small change is enough to sell tens of millions more copies of "Zhao Guo Jiang Hu", and the value created is incomparable.

"Second, Zhao Guojianghu's AI can generate 3D characters and scenes."

"Huh?! Really?!"

Liu Ping stood up suddenly with an expression of disbelief.

It can generate random 3D characters and scenes, and you can create a large-scale 3D development world game similar to Zhao Guojianghu, which is suitable for more players.

There are so many places to make money.

The valuation of 4D Spacetime Technology has soared again.

The penguin family couldn't eat anymore.

At Zhou Wan's suggestion, Chen Ji decided to accept the Series A financing, which was tentatively set at 5 billion, with a 20% stake.

In fact, the main investment is AI. In the future, the right to use AI will need to be authorized so that the company can continue to make money.

Chen Ji will open up some source codes and program interfaces. How much others can research depends on their abilities.

"Such a large investment cannot be completed in one month."

After sending Liu Ping and others away, Zhou Wan looked at Chen Ji with a smile and winked at him: "I guess you need money now to buy a house, car, etc... Do you need me to lend you a few hundred million?"

Chen Ji had a strange look on his face, "I heard from you... I heard from another Zhou Wan that I am familiar with that she is very rich. Are you sure you can lend me several hundred million in cash?"

"You underestimate me for such a small amount of money."

"sharp!"

Chen Ji gave 24-year-old Bai Fumei Zhou Wan a thumbs up, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Then I won't be polite to you. Lend me 100 million first. I plan to buy a car first and then go look at the house. I heard that to buy a luxury house, you need to verify the capital of tens of millions before you can show it."

"What you heard was right."

Zhou Wan's expression became a bit playful, "For example, the villa in my community costs 300 million. You need to verify the capital to reach 50 million before an agent can show you it."

"300 million for a villa..."

Chen Ji touched his chin, "Why do I feel like I didn't spend the five billion I just earned?"

"How many more houses do you want to buy? Apart from houses, cars are only more expensive than limited-edition sports cars, and you can't spend much money on other places...unless you want to buy a yacht to take your little girlfriend to play."

The little girlfriend Zhou Wan refers to undoubtedly refers to Xia Shumin.

Chen Ji smiled.

Acquiesced to this matter.

Zhou Wan had a strange look on her face: "Besides Shu Min, do you have other confidantes? It can be seen from your eagerness to buy a big villa..."

"This...no, there is an empress who also wants to live in my house."

"Empress?!"

"Yes. There may also be a few elves, namely the Western elves with pointed ears, lithe and tall figures."

"You look pretty, don't you?"

"It's okay, it's fat and thin, each has its own characteristics."

After chatting with Zhou Wan for a while, Chen Ji felt that the villa he wanted to buy in the future would not be enough if it did not have seven or eight rooms.

Not to mention the large flat floor, the rooms are much fewer than those in the villa.

So he has to buy at least two houses.

The large flat floor is used for daily living, with a wide view and easy access to the city.

The big villa is used for vacation, and a group of beautiful girls are playing in the villa swimming pool. The little lady, Zhou Wan, Astana, Mina Nina, plus the three-no girl Ma Yien, and the empress...

Chen Ji quickly stopped the reverie in his mind.

The more I think about it, the more itchy my heart becomes.

…

Two days later, Four-Dimensional Space-Time Technology launched its Series A financing, with a financing amount of up to 5 billion attracting the attention of many capitals.

After Chen Ji announced the company's two future strategies, the capital market recognized his company's valuation for this round and began to participate in the investment.

The specific contract details are controlled by Zhou Wanlai, while Hongqin Capital is responsible for this financing plan and participates in a certain share of investment.
