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

Chapter 182 Bitcoin and Nvidia (sorry for being so late)

The unexpected changes that occurred during this switch made Fang Yu feel a little more gloomy. On the way to the Spring Tour Factory, he kept frowning.

Yuzu was clearly with me, how could she not know what happened?

This time, it is most likely that those legendary wizards discovered the existence of the Rubik's Cube.

What should I do? Should I go to the main plane again?
"Pa!" Fang Yu slapped himself hard.

Don't worry about anything.

Even if those legendary wizards who escaped into the astral realm took action, what could they do?
One explosion of magical energy can kill their clones violently, which shows that their influence on the main plane is very limited.

Are those human figures made up of starlight considered clones?

No?

If it’s not even a clone, there’s even less to worry about!

However, there is one thing that needs attention.

He had cast spells in front of so many extraordinary people before and nothing had happened. Why did such a sudden change happen this time?

I guess it was the succubus Claudia who did this.

Next time I go to the main plane, I will teach her a lesson again!
Let her know how powerful the rubber stick technique is!

A great man once said it well: Take the enemy seriously tactically and despise the enemy strategically.

It would be idiotic to abandon the main plane just because of the possible threat posed by these legendary wizards who have been cowards for more than 10,000 years.

However, I'd better wait until I reach level 4 before going there. To be safe, I'd go to level 5. By then, I'll have learned third-ring spells, and the safety factor will be higher.

Anyway, I got back these 16 bags of gold coins, which should be enough to last me in a short period of time.

When he arrived at the factory, Fang Yu first unloaded 300 kilograms of diluted raw liquid from the car and handed it over to the person in charge of the factory. The entire handover was monitored by four channels and there were also three hidden surveillance cameras.

Then he ran to his studio in the backyard of the factory.

Fang Yu set up a 200-square-meter studio in the Chunriyou Factory and placed a lot of tools in it to hide his tracks.

This studio may seem small and simple, but it actually cost Chunriyou more than three million yuan.

The entire studio is made of high-lead radiation-proof one-way glass, with sunshades inside. The sunshades and walls are all made of three-millimeter lead plates wrapped with a layer of steel plates.

Under the ground, there is a 20-centimeter-thick iron plate, on which is also laid a three-millimeter-thick lead plate. The lead plate is then insulated with 1.2-mm-thick stainless steel, and then a layer of concrete is placed on it, and finally a layer of micro-cement is applied.

The roof is also covered with a 3 mm thick lead sheet.

It can be said that here, let alone mobile phones and X-ray machines, even if nuclear radiation breaks out outside, it cannot penetrate the protection of this room.

After entering the studio and closing the door, Fang Yu waved his hand, and the shadows of sixteen cowhide bags appeared on the spotless micro-cement floor.

Fang Yu performed a 0-ring wealth trick - currency sensing. This trick can count an unknown amount of currency, which is a bit like an arcane version of a money counting machine.

"that's amazing."

Fang Yu was surprised to find that there were 160,000 gold dukes here.

The nine thousand gold dukes of the three dead people were actually included, and it was five thousand more than what was signed in the contract.

This Muller is quite chivalrous.

He is indeed a fool who believes in the Church of Light.

He didn't even know that his own knights had been completely enslaved by Claudia.

The 587.75 gold dukes totaled 805 kilograms, plus the less than gold dukes that had been sold for arms in Merkfort, for a total weight of kilograms.

Fang Yu did not do any purification as it was too troublesome. Anyway, these gold dukes were basically 18K gold and it would be easiest to melt them directly into 18K gold bars.

Light up the induction furnace, set up the crucible, and melt directly.

It took Fang Yu a whole afternoon to melt the 805 kilograms of gold Duke into 18k gold bars of ten kilograms each, a total of eighty bars.

After putting the gold bricks into four aluminum alloy storage boxes, Fang Yu waved his hand, put them into the Wujie Messenger, got in the car, and went to Wanfang.

Go find Lao Deng to get gold coins!

"Puff!" Fang Daqiang almost spit out a mouthful of tea, "One hundred and twenty million? What do you need so much money for?"

"Dad, be careful with your words. What do you mean by want? I'm looking for you as collateral." Fang Yu stared at the 70-inch screen and waved the WII remote control in his hand to hit back the tennis ball flying on the screen.

Fang Daqiang has had this Wii for many years. When they were in middle school, Fang Yu often played games with Fang Daqiang, but they played less after entering high school.

"Mortgage? Use your shares in Chunriyou?" Fang Daqiang brewed another bowl of cinnamon and washed the tea.

Fang Yu paused the game and said, "No, the company Chunriyou is actually not worth a penny. I own all the intellectual property rights. And I am not raising funds for Chunriyou, but for my company Youzi Technology."

Although Fang Yu had never told Fang Daqiang about Youzi Technology before, he knew that Fang Daqiang must be aware that he had set up another technology company.

Sure enough, Fang Daqiang was not surprised at all after hearing this. He said while serving tea, "Yuzu Technology? I haven't asked you yet, what does this company do?"

"Artificial intelligence." Fang Yu picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. "It's quite expensive to do this. One hundred and twenty million may only be enough for half a year."

Fang Daqiang hummed. This was his good point. He never had a preconceived position on new things that he didn't understand. "I don't know much about this. How do you do it specifically?"

He is basically the same age as Pony the Horse from Penguin. As one of the first Internet users of the Great Zhou Dynasty who started surfing the Internet in 3044, he has sold compatible computers, played text mud, visited Yuanyuan Library, written articles under the banyan tree, used Frontpage to make a personal website, has a 6-digit Penguin account, and even took a Cisco CCNA entry-level certification when Fang Yu was very young.

If he hadn't later entered the entertainment industry, he might be an executive in a large company now.

However, even if he had a vague understanding of AI before, it was not easy for Fang Yu to explain to him in words what Yuzi Technology was doing and what progress it had made.

In this era, most technology enthusiasts' understanding of artificial intelligence is still stuck on Terminator's Skynet and Iron Man's Jarvis.

Fang Yu explained for five minutes, and seeing that Fang Daqiang still had only a vague understanding, he simply pulled Fang Daqiang in front of the computer and said, "Let me show you how to do it."

After saying that, Fang Yu turned on Fang Daqiang's computer, connected to the confidential server of Youzi Technology, and opened a dialog box.

"Orange, there are chickens and rabbits in a cage. There are thirty-five heads from the top and ninety-four feet from the bottom. How many chickens and rabbits are there in total?"

Without any pause, the big orange model's replies began to appear in the dialog box.

"This is a typical chicken-and-rabbit problem. There are two relatively simple ways to solve it. One is logical reasoning. The specific process is..."

"The other is to use a system of equations. Let the number of chickens be x..."

"In the end, both methods resulted in 12 rabbits and 23 chickens."

Fang Daqiang was stunned: "Isn't this a preset question? The kind that directly returns the corresponding answer?"

Fang Yuxin opened a dialog box and typed in it: "Please simulate a normal human being to conduct the following conversation."

The dialog box flashed twice: "Okay, next I will simulate a normal human and have the following conversation." Fang Yu gave up his seat, and the other party said: "Talk to it yourself, no matter what you talk about, and see its reply."

Fang Daqiang sat in front of the computer with great interest, thought for a while, and quickly tapped on the keyboard: "My son suddenly asks me for 120 million yuan, what should I do?"

The dialog box on the screen flashed: "Is he crazy? I suggest you pay more attention to your son's mental condition and determine whether medical intervention is needed."

Fang Yu's face darkened. It seemed that Orange's data cleaning and training would require at least two more rounds, and the parameters also had to be adjusted.

Fang Daqiang burst into laughter while typing on the keyboard: "It's true, he is in my office now."

The dialog box flashed: "You are awesome, you have so much money, Dad, do you still need a son?"

Fang Daqiang's smile suddenly stopped and he took a breath: "This can definitely pass the Turing test, right?"

These two conversations may seem simple, but in fact, the abilities displayed by the Orange model are already terrifying.

First, it has to use the human context to understand Fang Daqiang's first sentence, which is not clear in meaning. One hundred and twenty million, one hundred and twenty million of what? Your son? Who is your son? Why do you need one hundred and twenty million?

This sentence alone, if judged strictly by a machine, will have countless semantics, and artificial intelligence must first select the most likely one. Secondly, it is based on common sense speculation. 120 million Great Zhou coins is a fortune that most people will never be able to touch in their lifetime. A man's son suddenly asks his father for 120 million. What does this mean?
Even a trained artificial intelligence model would most likely reply that you should first ask why your son wants 120 million, and based on his answer, blah blah blah.

What about the orange model? The first question he asked was whether the son of the interlocutor was thinking normally and whether this was a joke.

Its second reply was even more outrageous. When Fang Daqiang confirmed that this was true, the Orange Model did not immediately reply to Fang Daqiang's first question based on the new conditions. Instead, it remotely associated the questioner with 120 million yuan, and said that he must be a rich man. Based on this, humans will jokingly recognize their father.

These two replies are the thinking that only humans can have!

Seeing Fang Yu's smug expression, Fang Daqiang was a little suspicious: "Could it be that the person on the other side is actually replying?"

Fang Yu shook his head: "This is the multi-head attention mechanism I just mentioned. After training with the data set, the Orange model can now clearly understand human semantics. It can even understand most unclear instructions and give relatively correct feedback."

"Currently, Google, Foster+, and Qianxun have all invested heavily in deep learning. Especially Google, their Google Brain has made great breakthroughs in deep neural networks. However, they are still in the theoretical construction stage and have not yet formed a real large-scale artificial intelligence model."

"You mean, your company's artificial intelligence technology is already the best in the world? Better than Google?" Fang Daqiang couldn't believe it.

He is not an old-fashioned person who has no knowledge of science and technology. Although he does not understand the development of AI, he has paid attention to some technology news and has some vague understanding of Google's current leading position in artificial intelligence.

“That’s not the case. We can only say that in terms of general artificial intelligence, Yuzu Technology’s core algorithm is currently one generation ahead of all its competitors. But if we don’t continue to invest, other companies may catch up quickly.”

Fang Yu said half-truthfully.

"Is 120 million enough?" Fang Daqiang thought for a moment, "Should Wanfang invest more as an angel investor? How about 10% of 200 million?"

Fang Yu was surprised: "Does Wanfang have so much money now? Aren't you trying your best to acquire land? Just now He Baoming was complaining to me about the high financing costs."

He Baoming is Wanfang's Chief Financial Officer and has followed Fang Daqiang for many years. Naturally, he is also very familiar with Fang Yu.

Fang Daqiang continued to make tea: "In the past few months, the collection has been good, the profit is also good, and the cash flow is OK. Moreover, the cost of acquiring land is expected to soar in 62 years. Wanfang is only prepared to acquire land for another year. At the latest by the end of next year, it will have to transform."

Fang Yu nodded in understanding.

When the father and son talked behind closed doors, they naturally wouldn't say anything high-sounding.

In fact, this is also the consensus of some real estate developers in Dazhou. They actually have a clearer understanding and prediction of the future development direction of real estate than anyone else.

It’s just that some are too greedy and insist on reaching the top before retreating, while some are in a difficult situation where the ship is in a big mess and it is difficult to turn around, and they are forced by the situation to take measures to quench their thirst.

Wanfang has less concerns in this regard. Real estate now accounts for a large proportion of Wanfang, exceeding 70% of the group's total business volume. This year, the sales proceeds from real estate alone should be 25 billion yuan. As the plots acquired this year enter the development and sales stage next year, it is estimated that Wanfang's real estate sales will exceed 50 billion yuan next year.

This scale is actually not small, and its sales volume has already ranked among the top 50 developers in Dazhou.

But Wanfang started late after all, so it does not have such a heavy historical burden, and the resistance to transformation is not that great.

Fang Yu had an idea and thought that this was a good idea. It would save him from having to tell his dad where the gold came from.

It was easy to sell dozens of kilograms of gold, but now it is hundreds of kilograms. If you sell it all at once, it will be a bit hot to handle.

Originally, Fang Yu wanted to take over a small and not-very-appreciated financial services company under Wanfang from his father, and then use the 600 kilograms of gold to do spot futures and asset securitization. It would be easy to launder the more than kilograms of gold and exchange it for sufficient cash.

And if you add leverage, you can earn nearly 10 million in transaction fees every year.

Several hundred kilograms of gold may be a problem for an individual, but for a company like Wanfang, it is not difficult at all to handle.

But this also raises a problem: how to explain the source of the gold to Fang Daqiang.

Although Fang Daqiang's educational method has always been to let his son do what he wants, no matter how laissez-faire he is, it is impossible for him to ignore the source of his son's gold worth more than 100 million yuan.

The more than 100 million gold is not the problem; the risk represented by more than 100 million gold is the problem.

Moreover, Fang Daqiang's valuation of Youzi Technology definitely demonstrates the deep affection between father and son.

There is currently no technology company that has a valuation of 2 billion yuan as soon as it is established.

Even Panda TV, which was founded by the national husband a few months ago, has been very popular since its inception. Initially, 360 only spent 20 or million yuan to acquire a % stake.

"Dad, you should invest on your own, don't use Wanfang." Fang Yu touched his chin and thought for a while.

Fang Daqiang understood what his son meant as soon as he heard it.

"That's good, so that the minority shareholders don't get angry." Fang Daqiang sipped his tea. "By the way, let me play with that artificial intelligence for a while."

Fang Yu reconnected to the server: "The big model is not stable yet, and it will give wrong answers. You have to identify the final information yourself."

Fang Daqiang took the keyboard, rubbed his hands together, and was very interested.

He likes new things like this. Today, when he saw such an interesting thing developed by his own son, how could he not be interested?

Fang Yu was playing Wii at the side. After more than 20 minutes, he turned around and looked at Fang Daqiang. Lao Deng had a frown on his face, staring at the computer screen.

"Dad, what are you talking about? So serious?" Fang Yu was curious and looked at the screen, only to see various report analyses appearing on the screen.

"I just asked it what are the best investment opportunities in the next ten years." Fang Daqiang was still staring at the screen.

Fang Yu had never asked the Orange Model this question before, so he asked curiously, "How did the AI ​​answer?"

Fang Daqiang flipped the dialog box upwards: "The answer is very brief, but I always feel that there is something wrong."

Fang Yu leaned over and saw a very brief sentence in the dialog box.

“The best investment opportunities over the next decade are Bitcoin and Nvidia.”

Yesterday I worked until about 3 o’clock, feeling dizzy, I clicked the publish button and went to bed, but it turned out that I failed to publish it. Today I slept until 12 o’clock, and when I woke up I realized that it was a good thing that I didn’t publish it. I wrote it completely wrong when I was dizzy yesterday, so I quickly changed it back.
