"Actually, it is not the best time to invest in this project now",

Honeycomb Coffee, Zhao Ziming smiled and said to Xu Jinyu,

As a well-known local entrepreneurial cafe, the environment is natural and elegant, with perfect spacing, not closed, but isolated, and the space design is patchy.

"Why" Xu Jinyu played a good role as a listener,

"Strategic investment is usually four or five years of concentrated research and development by the entrepreneurial team. The best investment time is when the product is available but has not yet been listed. If it is too early, the risk will be too great and the uncertainty will increase. Too late, the entrepreneurial team It has already started to take off. At that time, apart from investing heavily, it didn’t make much sense.",

Zhao Ziming explained briefly.

Xu Jinyu blinked, and the meaning was obvious, since it's not the best time, why should I meet the project leader.

"The project leader I will meet today is He Gan, a doctoral student of the State University of New York Upper North School of Medicine. He has in-depth research in the fields of neuroscience and cognitive science. He was originally an important member of the MattAngle team at Stanford. After the dispute, He Gan resigned and planned to do it himself",

Zhao Ziming continued,

"Then why did he return to China?" Xu Jinyu asked, objectively speaking, compared to his familiar working environment, starting anew in China is not a good choice.

"MattAngle's direction is to develop more efficient and powerful electrodes, as a brain-computer interaction interface, which can simultaneously record and stimulate a larger group of nerve cells, and ensure high-speed, high-fidelity wireless signal transmission, and a higher space. Resolution.

He Gan advocated using a stent EEG collector to avoid craniotomy, without breaking the blood-brain barrier, and sending the electrodes close to the brain cells to obtain higher quality signals.

If he can't get support in the United States, he can only look for opportunities at home."

Zhao Ziming briefly mentioned the reason. Although He Gan did not directly mention the reason for his resignation, the third-party investigation company was able to check it.

"Oh?" Xu Jinyu shook her head, still a little puzzled.

"You understand this way," Zhao Ziming thought for a while, changing to a simple and easy-to-understand term.

"MattAngle's method is non-invasive and does not require traumatic surgery. It can be done by wearing an electrode cap or using some imaging equipment.

He Gan’s method is an invasive brain-computer interface, which directly connects the recording and stimulation equipment to the cerebral cortex and even the deep nucleus of the brain. Although he expects to enter through blood vessels to avoid craniotomy, there are still certain risks."

Xu Jinyu nodded, saying that, she understood.

After all, He Gan's method is difficult and risky. Comparing the two, it is easy for everyone to choose MattAngle's method.

"At this stage, MattAngle's method is indeed more appropriate, but we have no chance."

Zhao Ziming also believes that Lao Mei's choice makes sense.

Most people know the risks of intrusive brain-computer interfaces, but he can do whatever he wants and choose the research direction.

Although MattAngle's method is simple and safe, suitable for many fields for ordinary users, and has great potential for development, Zhao Ziming can't get involved.

The MattAngle team has always been the key support object of DARPA of the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Although outsiders can invest, the procedure is too cumbersome to play a leading role.

"Oh, that's it," Xu Jinyu listened to the explanation, with a trace of admiration rising in her heart.

She knew that Zhao Ziming was born in liberal arts, but she was able to comprehend these scientific and technological instructions easily. It must have taken a lot of effort.

Zhao Ziming is worthy of her admiration when she is young and has made great achievements, but has not rested on her own feet and has always been determined to make progress.

Since he deliberately contacted the He Gan team, Zhao Ziming has consulted many experts and scholars, and has spent a lot of effort in brain-computer interface.

Although I don't understand the specific technical principles, I have an accurate grasp of the situation of the entire industry.

Xu Jinyu thought for a while and said, "When someone comes, I will pretend to be your assistant?"

"Okay," Zhao Ziming nodded, "Assistant plus translator."

"Isn't your English very good, you still need to use an interpreter",

Xu Jinyu was a little puzzled. When the two were in France, she had seen Zhao Ziming communicate very smoothly.

"Seeing a foreign start-up team without a beautiful translator, how can you stop the place?" Zhao Ziming laughed.

"Fuck you," Xu Jinyu sipped.

Although he was a lot closer to Zhao Ziming in private, he was still very shy about flirting in full view.

"He Gan is a Chinese-American and can speak Chinese. If he communicates in English throughout the whole process, there is no need for further contact. You can just chat at that time," Zhao Ziming said.

Generally speaking, the entrepreneurial team is in a weak position, so it should be adapted to the cultural background of the investors.If He Gan insists on communicating in English, Zhao Ziming intends to perfunctory.

"It's just you." Xu Jinyu gave him a white look.

Now when I think of Zhao Ziming's act of pulling himself away from the public, I feel that he was deliberate and harmful.

Seeing Xu Jinyu's coquettish expression, Zhao Ziming became enthusiastic and quickly pressed his mind.

"Isn't there a saying that being a student is worse than being a good one? Why do you think of investing in this?" Xu Jinyu looked at Zhao Ziming's gaze, worried, and quickly changed the subject.

"Isn't the biggest application of brain-computer interface game?" Zhao Ziming said with a smile. He was naturally bullying Xu Jinyu for not understanding and just talking nonsense.

For Zhao Ziming, there are secrets that cannot be said. The intervention of the brain-computer interface seems to be a big jump, and even to outsiders, it has nothing to do with his business.

There are certain thresholds for the development and implantation of brain-computer interface hardware, but the signal processing algorithm development is its advantage. This is also his confidence to intervene in the brain-computer interface, plus the ability of the He Gan team. For the project itself, he Still more optimistic,

Otherwise, simply because of advanced science and technology, he would just dabble in unfamiliar fields without knowing how he died.

Zhao Ziming has always paid attention to daily self-examination and overcoming self-arrogance. He should not think that all industries can intervene just because he has black technology in his hands.

Xu Jinyu showed a puzzled look, playing games with a brain-computer interface?Be a little optimistic!

I haven't had time to speak.

"coming",

Zhao Ziming glanced at a familiar figure, said with a smile, and got up to greet him.

He Gan walked slowly with a blond beauty.There is a kind of visual impact of beauty and beast, so it is not good to look at, there are signs of fading, let alone the elegant temperament of scholars.

Blonde beauty, tall, curvy, and strong, walking on the road is the focus of attention. With Zhao Ziming's determination, she is not only admired in her heart, but also a hot girl.
