Nine, a drop in the bucket
Shi Yang knew that Jiang Shuiyuan was the one who was the master of the family, so he was too lazy to pay attention to Wu Zichen, so he kept begging Jiang Shuiyuan: "Young Master Jiang, you should know that during the last training camp in Jiangning, those professors highly praised my creativity, thinking that it has great development prospects and is very likely to be realized in the future. We are now working on research and development and can seize the market opportunity. As long as you are willing to invest money, I guarantee you will make sure to make sure you make no profits!"
Young Master Jiang? Does this guy treat me as a big dog?
Jiang Shuiyuan had a toothache expression on his face: "Please, I'm not a big boy, I'm just an ordinary child. I used to earn some pocket money by writing things and doing some miscellaneous work, but now I'm investing in software development. I really don't have much money at hand!"
It is true that the endorsement fee given by Jinyi Clothing is quite large, but part of it was used to acquire the company shares in Zhang Qian, and the other part was spent on Wu Zichen to develop the website. Apart from the sporadic royalties on hand, Jiang Shuiyuan really had no money, especially the kind that only had one million yuan on his mouth. Maybe there would be some money in the account of the China American company, but that was everyone's. Although Jiang Shuiyuan was usually chubby, he didn't know how to take the initiative and didn't know how to refuse, he still understood the truth that public and private distinction was clear.
The truth about Jiang Shuiyuan, when it fell into Shi Yang's ears, it turned into the capitalist's control and exploitation. He gritted his teeth and said, "Then you invest 1 million, I will give you 25% of the shares, so you can't get more! If you give you too much, I'm afraid I will continue to raise funds in the future. I'm still waiting to make a fortune with this creativity and reach the peak of my life!"
Getting rich and becoming rich? Going to the peak of your life? Jiang Shuiyuan not only has tooth pain, but also has a pain all over his body.
"I really have no money!" Jiang Shuiyuan reiterated, "What's more, I think the handheld plant recognition device you are planning for the public and biological enthusiasts is very clear in thinking, but it is not ordinary difficulties to realize it. It's so difficult to fly! I'm not sure about anything else. My father studied chemistry. I have been exposed to chemical instruments since I was a child. Do you know how much it costs to have a handheld ore analyzer or handheld soil heavy metal analyzer now?"
"How much?" Shi Yang really didn't know.
"It's normal to cost about 200,000 yuan."
"That means that my creativity is very profitable! As long as you develop it and sell it for a few units, your 1 million yuan will be recovered with the capital and profit!"
"But your plant recognition device is for the public and bio-lovers! Do you think ordinary people will spend 200,000 yuan to buy a device specifically for a hobby?"
"Uh...then sell it to botanical researchers."
"Biology is very popular, but botany, as one of the more than ten second-level disciplines under biology, is very unpopular. As for plant taxonomy, it is even colder. Some time ago, I read news reports and said that the research team of plant taxonomy is aging, funding is short, talent is not accepted, and there is no successor. It is almost unique in many universities in my country. Do you think selling it to them can realize your dream of becoming rich and reaching the peak of your life?"
"this--"
"Let's not talk about the sales issue for now, because maybe one day the plant taxonomy will become a distinctive study?" In order to avoid overstripping Shi Yang, Jiang Shuiyuan decided to persuade him from another perspective: "The trouble lies in the difficulty of the research and development of your plant recognition instrument. I mentioned the handheld ore analyzer just now. Do you know how many minerals there are in the world? There are more than 3,000 species in total. What about plants? According to what you said last time, the "Chinese Plant Records" alone records 301 families, 3,408 genera, and 31,142 plants in my country, which are ten times the mineral species! And this is only known to our country now, so what about the world? There are more than 300,000 species in conservatively, right?"
Shi Yang whispered: "According to the preliminary statistics of scientists, there are about 500,000 plants around the world."
"Okay, this one alone is more than 150 times the handheld ore analyzer!" Jiang Shuiyuan continued to increase the cost, "The principle of handheld ore analyzer is very simple, which is X-ray fluorescence spectrum analysis. Previous people also studied the characteristic X-ray energy and wavelengths emitted by various elements very thoroughly. In short, it is based on solid theory and practice. What about plant taxonomy? I have read your "Plant Taxonomy" textbook, which records flower plants proposed or revised in recent years.
There are at least 7 species classification systems, and the division of many families and genus is still very controversial. Among them, the most widely used are the Engler system and the J. Hutsinson system, but the more respected and influenced are the A. Cronquist system and the Takhtajan system. This is theoretically unreliable!”
Shi Yang thought for a while: "We can adopt the latest classification methods, such as the PPG system for Shisong Gate and Fern Gate, and the APG system for angiosperm Gate. I believe that in the near future, the academic community will definitely establish a recognized classification system."
Wu Zichen looked at Jiang Shuyuan with a confused look on his face, then Shi Yang, and finally decided to remain silent.
"Okay, let's not talk about the classification system for now. Let's talk about some problems in the specific practical operation." Jiang Shuiyuan evaluated the little fat man's psychological tolerance and felt that he would not collapse yet. He could still put on some burden. "Identifying the specific species of a certain plant is the most basic function of your identification device, and it is also one of the most complex and difficult to solve, because the differences between many plants of the same genus are very subtle. You see a plant in the wild
, How to determine whether it is an existing species or a mutated individual? If it is a mutated individual, how do you determine whether it is a variant, subspecies, variants or new species? Not to mention ordinary plant taxonomy researchers, even experts who specialize in this field, sometimes they have to use professional instruments such as electron microscopes and scanning electron microscopes. So I heard that there is such a joke in the Department of Biology. During the internship in Plant Taxonomy, teachers usually lead the team to the forefront so that all the plants you don’t know will die first.”
Shi Yang was confident: "I have thought about this question a long time ago. My idea is to use the "Chinese Plant Chronicle" as the basic support to establish a molecular sequence database of various species, and integrate traditional morphological classifications and current cell taxonomy and chemical taxonomy. During the detection, you only need to extract the plant's DNA and compare it with the data in the database. It's very simple!"
"It's very simple?" Jiang Shuiyuan asked, "Do you think it's simple to build a molecular sequence database of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of plants? Or is it simple to compare molecular sequence analysis? Putting aside all hardware issues, the pattern recognition technology involved in molecular sequence comparison can kill people in minutes. Do you know how profound the American Thermo Fisher Scientific Company, which studies mineral analyzers, has a deep foundation? Its annual sales exceed US$15 billion and has about 50,000 employees in 50 countries. You are counting on investing 1 million at this stage to develop instruments that use advanced technologies such as DNA extraction, pattern recognition, and chip technology to identify 30,000 plants? I can only say four words: a drop in the bucket!"
Shi Yang's face suddenly turned pale, as if the hope of getting rich instantly took away the momentum of his life and made him die.
Wu Zichen was still standing by: "It is unrealistic to pat the things you think of on your head. I just want to make a fortune and reach the peak of your life. I even have to sell 1 million to 20% of our shares? I think you are dreaming of marrying a wife - you think beautifully! Little fat man, your brain is a good thing, I hope you can have one!"
Jiang Shuiyuan did not use his tricks anymore, but humanitarianly pulled him: "It is not impossible to develop a handheld plant recognition device. After all, scientific development is changing with each passing day, and various new technologies are emerging one after another. And as those teachers said, your ideas are correct, your creativity has a great development prospect, and it is very likely to be realized in the future. But now, you can develop a mobile app for identifying common ornamental flowers and garden plants based on image recognition technology, and then go to venture capital companies to try it out. Maybe it can really make you rich and make a fortune!"
Shi Yang's eyes lit up, and he firmly grasped the corner of Jiang Shuiyuan's clothes again: "Mr. Jiang, Boss Jiang, Jiang Daliang, why don't we cooperate to develop, I will produce technology, you invest money, and you will share the money in the end, how about it? Don't worry, I am not greedy!"
"Um?"
"Don't you also think that my ideas are correct and creativity has great development prospects? Since this is the case, we should develop as soon as possible and seize the market opportunity as soon as possible. Opportunities must not be missed, and we will never come again!"
