I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 226: Is there such a genius in Guoli? (Second update)
"Xu Mingsheng, what did you say? The founder of Yuzu Technology is a student at a national university?"

Zhang Xinnian touched his bald forehead and put the phone on speaker, fearing that he had heard it wrongly.

As people get older, they don’t want to hold the phone next to their ears, as they always feel the radiation is too strong.

Last night, I was chatting with the dean of a few months' duration during a meeting, and we were talking about how amazing artificial intelligence is now. Miami had just released AlphaGo, and a small company in Da Zhou called Yuzu Technology had actually come up with a large orange model, and it actually beat AlphaGo.

How come in the time it takes to answer a phone call, Youzi Technology has become a startup project for national students?
"Don't you know? You don't deserve the title of national president." Xu Mingsheng mocked his old friend.

Zhang Xinnian laughed: "Yeah, I'm not capable enough. Wang Lanjiang from your Xusheng University seems to have signed up for election as an academician this year? With my ability, I can hardly be a president, let alone judge an academician. I won't vote."

Zhang Xinnian and Xu Mingsheng are both academicians of the Zhou Academy of Sciences and have the right to vote for the election of new academicians.

Xu Mingsheng was startled and cursed a few times before saying, "I just found out too. Cheng Yusi knew that we had a good relationship, so he found me and asked me to help contact you. He thought that since he was a student of your school, you would definitely have a say."

He and Zhang Xinnian are of the same age. They are from the same hometown and are both presidents of the top 10 universities in Da Zhou. They are indeed very close friends.

In particular, the two people's majors are interconnected. Zhang Xinnian studies materials, focusing on photosensitive materials, and Xu Mingsheng had been working on high-energy physics before, but switched to studying chip manufacturing in the past decade. One is upstream and the other is downstream, so they have a lot of contact.

Cheng Yusi was Xu Mingsheng's student 20 years ago. He also studied high-energy physics. After graduation, he went abroad to study for a master's degree in finance and then joined an investment bank.

Cheng Yusi returned to China more than ten years ago and is now a well-known VC investor in China.

"Didn't you just say that this Youzi Technology is an offshore holding company? How does Cheng Yusi know who owns this company?" Zhang Xinnian lit a cigarette and started puffing away.

Xu Mingsheng groaned, "Eighty percent of the contributions to this company's Github and Python libraries were made by this student and a man named Professor Yoelz. We can't find out who Professor Yoelz is. In every contribution, his name is before Professor Yoelz. Even if he is not the controlling shareholder, if the investment company cannot contact the actual controller, isn't it the same to invest in him directly?"

"If Cheng Yusi wants to meet, can't he just contact him himself? Why does he have to ask you to speak for him?" Zhang Xinnian felt a little strange. He had met Cheng Yusi in some social occasions and knew that he was now a big figure in the investment world. He wouldn't need to use connections to meet a student, right?
Xu Mingsheng chuckled: "This student of yours is incredible. Cheng Yusi finally found his contact information and called him several times, but couldn't get through. He sent a text message, but got no reply. He sent an email, but after a long time, he did get a response, but it was just three words: 'Not needed.'"

"You don't know, VCs all over the country are contacting this company like crazy, but almost no one has been able to get in touch with them. I don't know if they really don't need money."

Ouch.

Zhang Xinnian touched his smooth forehead and pondered for a moment: "What did you say was the name of this student?"

"Fang Yu, the Fang that is full of vigor and power, the Yu that grows deep in the mountains." Xu Mingsheng likes to quote a few lines of poetry when he has nothing to do.

Fang Yu? Zhang Xinnian was stunned. This name sounded familiar.

"Okay, since Old Xu has spoken, I'll give it a try and call you back later."

Zhang Xinnian hung up the phone, opened the academic affairs system, searched for the student's name, and within a second, Fang Yu's information appeared in front of Zhang Xinnian.

It's him.

As soon as Zhang Xinnian saw the photo, he recognized him as the basketball player from the School of Economics who shocked everyone on the day of the school-level match against Jinan University.

I didn't expect he was both literary and martial.

Zhang Xinnian was quite surprised.

Let’s look at the contents inside.

Read the notes first.

Chen Shian's grandson? Wanfang Group's Fang Daqiang's only son?

No wonder then.

It seems that it is still unclear who owns this Youzi Technology.

The latest information shows that this guy is in Tong Yongshan’s research group. Is Old Tong also starting to use the back door now?
Lao Tong is an economist, so it is normal for him to recruit Chen Shian’s grandson.

But this kid is only a sophomore. Isn't it a bit early to accumulate academic qualifications to be admitted to graduate school?

Look at the grades, is it true? First in the whole major last semester?

Could it be that he is not a playboy?
Why didn’t I know there was such a genius in the national university before?
Since it is Tong Yongshan’s research group, let’s call Lao Tong first.

Looking at the time, Lao Tong should have finished this week’s closed-door study, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to get through to him over the phone.

Zhang Xinnian also studied for his undergraduate degree at the National University. Due to historical reasons, although Tong Yongshan was seven years younger than him, they entered school in the same year, so they were considered classmates.

One of the main reasons why Tong Yongshan was able to return to China was his personal relationship with Zhang Xinnian.

"Yongshan, let me ask you something. There is a sophomore student named Fang Yu in your group, right?" Zhang Xinnian went straight to the point.

Tong Yongshan was stunned when he received the call, then smiled happily: "You heard about it too?"

Zhang Xinnian was annoyed: "You knew it a long time ago? You knew it but you didn't tell me? When someone asked me about it today, I almost lost face."

Tong Yongshan was puzzled: "I just found out too. I just came back from closed-door study. My phone was confiscated. How could I notify you?"

"Besides, it's just an ECTA. Although it's the first article at the beginning of this issue of ECTA and published as an important original research, it's not necessary for me to call you right away, right?"

Zhang Xinnian was stunned: "What ECTA?"

Tong Yongshan was even more puzzled, but still couldn't contain his joy: "The article "Research and Exploration on the Fitting of Strong Factor Models under Deep Learning" written by Fang Yu, which will be published on the front page of ECTA on March 3, isn't this what you are talking about?" His student, who just entered his sophomore year and had been in the group for five months, published a first-author paper in a top journal, and it was a front-page article. He had only enjoyed such honor twice in his life.

what?
What's going on?

You are such a good old Tong. In order to protect Chen Shian’s grandson, you actually gave a sophomore a first-class article in a top journal! ?

Are you still shameless?

Wait, that's not right.

Deep learning? This is the subject of computer science, and Lao Tong is not working in this field.

"What do you think the title of this paper is?" Zhang Xinnian asked again.

"Research and Exploration on the Fit of Strong Factor Model under Deep Learning", he put my strong factor model in the environment of machine learning and trained it many times. The neural network model finally formed can significantly improve the prediction fit of the strong factor model."

Tong Yongshan briefly explained the contents of the paper to Zhang Xinnian over the phone.

"I really didn't expect this. At first I thought he had solid basic skills and was very skilled in data processing, but I didn't expect he would give me such a big boost. In just four months, I have become a corresponding author on a top journal, hahaha."

"By the way, what exactly did you ask Fang Yu about? I just ended my lockdown and have a lot of calls to answer."

It seems that Tong Yongshan didn't know that Youzi Technology had developed artificial intelligence. However, since Fang Yu had already been exposed to deep learning, this matter is indeed somewhat reliable.

Artificial intelligence, the world's first artificial intelligence!

This is a major productivity revolution that can be compared with the Industrial Revolution!
Is it possible that my school is going to produce a Watt or a Tesla?
Wait, this paper is called "Research and Exploration of the Fitting of Strong Factor Models under Deep Learning"?
Could it be that this artificial intelligence of Youzi Technology was developed by Fang Yu in Tong Yongshan’s research group?
In that case, National University can also get a piece of the pie.

Zhang Xinnian took a puff of his cigarette: "Yongshan, do you know about Yuzi Technology?"

Yuzi Technology? Tong Yongshan was startled: "I know, this project of mine was commissioned by Fang Yu and Yuzi Technology, and I also used the computing power resources of Yuzi Technology."

Ah? Commissioned research? Zhang Xinnian was immediately disappointed. In this case, all the benefits belonged to the commissioning unit. Except for the authorship of the paper, the rest had nothing to do with the National University.

"Have the national resources been used in other research at Youzi Technology? Are there other people involved in your research team?" Zhang Xinnian did not give up. He thought that as long as he could get some connection with it, he might be able to get some benefits in return.

"No." Tong Yongshan knew what she meant as soon as he heard it. This kind of thing would not benefit him, so it would be best to give up the idea of ​​going to school. "Don't say that other research is useless. Even this paper is basically useless to other people in the group. You know that the National University's computer science is too poor, and other people can basically not help."

Forget it, there’s no way I can get in. If Fang Yu really develops artificial intelligence, National University of China can only be Fang Yu’s alma mater.

"What is the relationship between Fang Yu and Youzi Technology? Is Youzi Technology his company?" Zhang Xinnian asked quickly.

Tong Yongshan frowned: "Xin Nian, why are you asking so clearly? I didn't ask for details, it's just that this company wants to buy the school's old computer room to use as an office building, and I helped to say something. You know, for this kind of thing, it's better to have less trouble than more..."

Zhang Xinnian interrupted Tong Yongshan: "Yongshan, the day before yesterday, the artificial intelligence Orange Big Model developed by Yuzu Technology defeated Google's AlphaGo 3:0 in the Go competition in the Goryeo capital. Orange Big Model may become the world's first real artificial intelligence."

"Do you understand what this means? This is artificial intelligence! You will know when you check it out online!"

"You should quickly find out what is going on with Yuzu Technology. Did they develop the Orange Model? Does this thing really exist?"

Tong Yongshan was stunned.

WTF?

The world's first true artificial intelligence?
Developed by Yuzu Technology?

Tong Yongshan's mind flashed through Fang Yu's always sloppy face.

What kind of student did I accept?

Zhang Xinnian hung up the phone, turned on his computer and watched the press conference again. This time he realized that the beautiful girl who responded to the Xinglang reporter at the end seemed to be Shen Shuyao, the host of the school anniversary party.

It seems that this matter is really possible.

Zhang Xinnian hasn't felt so excited for a long time.

Artificial intelligence.

This is truly the fourth industrial revolution.

No, artificial intelligence is even the second evolution of mankind!
The first evolution was when humans began to create and use tools.

The second evolution is that humans created an intelligent being more powerful than themselves!

Zhang Xinnian was filled with excitement.

If I can’t get on board, then I can’t get on board. As long as this company is incubated by a national university, it’s fine.

He had originally received news that his superiors might want him to change his position this year or early next year.

But now, haha, it’s really hard to say who will change position.
