Turn over from love

Chapter 283 are all tools
After waiting for several days, there was no movement at all from Guo Junhua.

Lu Zhou gradually became a little uneasy. As a result, he had no intention of doing anything related to the entertainment industry recently, and new creations had long stopped.

This made Pan Chengyi and Qiu Mingbo, who were in charge of Legend Entertainment, like ants on a hot pot. The two of them alternated calling each other a day to hint that he would return his focus to the entertainment industry as soon as possible. There was no way, who made Lu Zhou the top blood transfusion of Legend Entertainment? Bao.

But Lu Zhou didn't pay attention at all. He had been busy with his AI project.

People around him thought he was a little crazy. Instead of doing what he was supposed to do, he plunged headlong into projects that were losing money every day, almost draining all the money he had worked so hard to earn.

Stop losses in time, don’t you understand this?People around him have tried to persuade him with this sentence many times, but to no avail...

An art person who devotes himself wholeheartedly to AI, purely by an outsider guiding an expert, ends up losing all his pants. That is really an eye-opener for God.

But he couldn't persuade him. Lu Zhou was too stubborn.

There was no way, Pan Chengyi and Qiu Mingbo could only hope from the bottom of their hearts that Lu Zhou's AI project would be lost as soon as possible, otherwise it would be almost impossible for him to return to normal work in the entertainment industry.

……

Lu Zhou has been staying at Zhiliang Technology recently to review the technological breakthroughs achieved by the entire Zhiyu project.

He didn't understand the technical details, after all, he wasn't professional enough.

But he still knows some macro theory through study.

He was a little troubled, why hasn't Guo Junhua contacted him yet?

Didn't you take a fancy to their project?
Should not be……

Lu Zhou thought to himself, could it be that he was targeting the wrong person?Guo Junhua only cares about the one-third of an acre of land in front of him and has no mind to consider the overall situation of the headquarters?

shouldn't...

After some consideration, Lu Zhou decided not to wait silently.

Since that meeting, not only has there been no movement from Guo Junhua, but there has also been no actual movement from Zhang Chen except for a few subsequent visits to the company and some more detailed project introductions.

Lu Zhou thought for a while and decided to ask Zhang Chen to have a meal alone. He would test it indirectly first to see if he could get some idea of ​​Guo Junhua's attitude towards this project.

The dinner date was set at "Jia Yao", a luxurious farm in the suburbs of Beijing. The owner of the farm was an acquaintance they all knew - Chu Yao.

Yes, Chu Yao has become very prosperous now, and her food business has expanded to Jinghua. This is one of the branch businesses of her brand.

I heard that Lu Zhou had booked a private room here tonight. Chu Yao happened to be on a business trip in Beijing this month, so she came to Jia Yao tonight to receive her in person.

To her, Lu Zhou was a noble person.

If it weren’t for his guidance and investment help back then, Chu Yao might not have been able to successfully survive the bottleneck period that her career encountered.Therefore, Chu Yao has always been grateful to him from the bottom of her heart.

The two don't have regular contact, but their friendship is still good.

Lu Zhou arrived first and chatted with Chu Yao for a while before Zhang Chen came.

"Oh? I can't help but have a meal. Boss Chu came all the way to receive it in person. It seems that I, Zhang Chen, am quite proud, don't I?"

As soon as Zhang Chen entered the private room, he saw that besides Lu Zhou, there was also a familiar face that he hadn't seen for a long time. He couldn't help but clapped his hands and said.

In fact, they all know that this big farm is run by Chu Yao. It has great taste and a lot of things to play with. Zhang Chen occasionally brings friends here to play, but rarely sees the boss himself.

To see Chu Yao sitting in the store tonight, Zhang Chen's exaggerated way of greeting her came.

Chu Yao smiled silently, stood up and walked over to give Zhang Chen a friendly hug, "It's been a long time since we last met. I just happened to be on a business trip in Beijing recently."

"Why haven't you come to Jinghua to have dinner with me? Is it because our friendship is not deep enough?" Zhang Chen let go of her and joked warmly.

Chu Yao: "Didn't I just finish my work and have some free time? I know that you two are coming to patronize our delicious food tonight, why don't I hurry up and come to receive you two? Isn't this enough for me?"

Zhang Chen: "Okay, I forgive you. How are you? Beautiful lady? We haven't seen you for so long. Are you single yet?"

"No, what's the point of being single? I think it's good to be alone now. Falling in love is meaningless and I don't have the time." Chu Yao responded with a smile.

"That means you don't understand the fun, right? Women will age quickly without the nourishment of love." Zhang Chen walked to Lu Zhou, pulled out the dining chair and sat down, and replied.

When Lu Zhou heard this, he couldn't help but trembling at the corner of his mouth and looking at him, "When you say this to Yaoyao, do you mean you don't want to have a good meal here tonight?"

Chu Yao was amused, "I'm not saying we won't talk in this life, but I haven't met anyone particularly suitable yet, so it's better not to talk. If there are high-quality single men around you, you can introduce them to me. Maybe you can point me out. I’m single now.”

Hearing this, Zhang Chen subconsciously pointed at Lu Zhou beside him, "Here! Isn't there a ready-made high-quality single man? Is it because our mainland stars can't catch your eye?"

The room fell into silence for a second.

Chu Yao immediately laughed and joked along with his words, "How can it be possible? Mainland celebrities are not what they used to be. I don't dare to reach high."

Lu Zhou poured half a cup of tea by himself, then interrupted: "You two, stop making fun of me."

Everyone laughed, Chu Yao briefly reminisced with them, and after ordering food for them, she wisely stopped disturbing them.

Chu Yao: "You two, let's talk. I have something to do and I'll leave first. It's fun to eat and have fun. I'll give you acquaintance prices for your purchases at Jia Yao tonight, with a [-]% discount on everything."

Zhang Chen: "You're already so familiar, but you still get a discount? Shouldn't we treat you directly?"

"I miss you so much!" Chu Yao snorted, waved to them, turned around and left the private room.

The door was closed, leaving Lu Zhou and Zhang Chen alone in the room.

Zhang Chen directly asked the most curious question in his mind during this period:
"There's something I've always wanted to confirm with you. When you were investing in the "Layden Project" movie, in addition to signing a bet with me, you also signed a contract with Ye Fangfei?"

Lu Zhou did not respond directly, "Why are you bringing up old things? Let's talk about other serious things."

When Zhang Chen heard this, he tasted it carefully and realized that it seemed to be a real signature.

He immediately despised Ye Fangfei in his heart. She had clearly signed a bet, but she still refused to admit it at the beginning. She was even angry at him for investing in Lu Zhou and signing a bet agreement...

Zhang Chen was thinking in his mind that he would have to find an opportunity to confront Ye Fangfei some other time. Lu Zhou spoke at this time: "What do you think of our Zhiyu project?"

This is about investment.

Zhang Chen got serious, they were all friends, and he didn't intend to hide anything from Lu Zhou, so he told the truth:
"Your AI project, to be honest, I am very optimistic about it personally. I am still looking for more professional people in this field to help me provide more reference opinions on valuation. It is not that fast for the time being, and it may be necessary. It will take some time before I can give you a clear answer."

"You also know how to invest, so you can't be careless. Your project is very big, so it's not a trivial matter. It would be good for both of us if I consult with multiple sources, right?"

Lu Zhou poured tea for Zhang Chen, nodded after listening to his words, "Of course, you should refer to professional opinions more. If you need any more project information, please feel free to tell me. Oh, by the way, we met together last time Mr. Guo, what does he think of the Zhiyu project?”

Zhang Chen took a sip of tea and couldn't help but look at Lu Zhou after hearing this.

It is not difficult to see that Lu Zhou is trying to test everyone's attitude towards the Zhiyu project.His performance suddenly made Zhang Chen feel that Lu Zhou seemed to have insufficient confidence in Zhi Yu.

Could it be that there is some deep-seated fishery here that he hasn't seen through yet?
Zhang Chen became suspicious.

Don’t think there are hidden pits hidden in this project that no one knows about, right?Then he should be more cautious about this investment.

"Mr. Guo? He said that the research direction of your Zhiyu project is quite avant-garde, but whether this project will ultimately be a waste of water depends on whether you can overcome the technical difficulties encountered in the later stages of the project. Mr. Guo is This area is professional, and he also frankly said that given the current technical level in the country, it might be a bit difficult."

Zhang Chen did not hide anything from Lu Zhou, and almost conveyed the general meaning of Guo Juanhua's original words.

Zhang Chen thinks this way: He has said this, and he has vaccinated Lu Zhou. Even if he decides not to invest in him in the end, I believe that their friendship will not have any impact.

Lu Zhou, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Zhang Chen's words.

But in Zhang Chen's eyes, this tone seemed like a sigh of frustration.

Zhang Chen patted Lu Zhou on the shoulder and comforted him and said, "Don't be discouraged yet. I will give you an answer after my team completes the evaluation. Don't worry, if the project is really worth doing, I will definitely vote for you."

"However, as a friend, I still want to tell you that next time you engage in a project, don't impulsively invest all your money in it. This is absolutely necessary. Investments are risky, so you have to be cautious."

Lu Zhou smiled and nodded, but what he was thinking in his mind was:

If Zhang Chen didn't lie, then Guo Junhua should be interested in their project.You have to find a way to give them a sense of urgency.

Who are Weiguang Technology’s domestic invisible competitors?
Thinking of this, an answer suddenly appeared in Lu Zhou's mind - Yichuang Group.

The tea cup in his hand placed on the table made a dull sound, and Lu Zhou suddenly had an idea.

It seems that Gao Ting'an has to be borrowed.

In the past, he basically had one idea in doing things, which was to try not to let Gao Ting'an pay too much attention to him. It would be better to do less than to do more.

Keeping a low profile has always been his style.

But now, Lu Zhou suddenly felt that there was no need to be too low-key.

"Oh, don't look so sad. It's rare to come out to play. How about having fun? Let's stay all night at Jia Yao tonight? I'll call some beauties over." While Lu Zhou was deep in thought, Zhang Chen suddenly hugged his arm. Shoulder said.

The corner of Lu Zhou's mouth trembled slightly before he came back to his senses: "...You and your little girlfriend broke up again?"

Zhang Chen: "No point."

Lu Zhou: "Then you plan to break up?"

Zhang Chen: "No matter how you divide it, the relationship is pretty good."

Lu Zhou looked at him with difficulty, "Then you are still called a beauty. You should be more careful."

"My beauty called me to make you happy. Is there any problem?" Zhang Chen smiled.

"Thank you for your kindness, no need." Lu Zhou thought: I have no intention of breaking up.

Zhang Chen clicked his tongue and said, "Lu Zhou, life is so boring for you! What do you think you are pursuing in this life? Only money can attract you, right?"

Lu Zhou smiled slightly, "I pursue happiness."

Zhang Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Your life has no happiness at all. It's boring and lifeless. Sometimes you are really too serious and boring. You deserve to stay by Ye Fangfei's side for so many years. People still look down upon you and only regard you as her songwriting machine, without any emotion."

"..." Lu Zhou was amused, "You are so interesting, does she like you?"

Zhang Chen couldn't help but choked and stuttered, "I'm just too interesting, she thinks she can't hold me."

Lu Zhou smiled and snorted, "You are indeed interesting."

Zhang Chen thought he was really being praised. He patted Lu Zhou's arm and asked curiously: "Is there something wrong with your sexual orientation? It doesn't make sense. A strong man doesn't have a girlfriend by his side." You haven’t found a woman all day long, do you have something to hide?”

As he said that, Zhang Chen glanced at Lu Zhou's crotch, "Is it not good? I know a Chinese doctor who is very good at treating this. Do you need me to introduce him to you?"

Lu Zhou's face was suddenly covered with black lines, "No need, you can keep it for yourself."

Zhang Chen kicked him, "Fuck you, I don't need it."

Lu Zhou smiled, "You don't need it, how do you know he's good at treating this?"

Zhang Chen blurted out: "I have a friend who is not very good, and I am optimistic about him."

Lu Zhou hid a smile on his lips: "Oh, really? Are you sure you're not making friends out of thin air?"

Zhang Chen couldn't help but kicked him again, "Fuck you! Do you still want to invest?"

The banter between the two lasted until the waiter came to serve the food.

……

After the meal at Jia Yao, it was already late at night.

Lu Zhou did not choose to spend the night in Jia Yao and drove back home.

The next day, a piece of technology news went viral on the entertainment industry channel.

[Music talent Lu Zhou has devoted himself to the field of artificial intelligence. Recently, the AI ​​entrepreneurial project "Smart Language" into which he invested all his wealth has achieved significant technological progress. He firmly believes that in the future, AI will shake the whole world...]
This news made Lu Zhou once again the subject of discussion among netizens.

[Does he have any obsession with AI?You made a successful science fiction movie, and now you are still researching AI in reality? ]
[Is he crazy if he invests all his wealth? ]
[I have said it a long time ago, artists should read more books when they have time. Without knowledge and money, it is easy to be deceived]
[Brother Zhou, why don’t we write more songs when we have time?Is AI something that ordinary people can understand?Why do I have a premonition that you will suffer a heavy loss? ]
[Laughing to death, shocking the world, it’s just a game of capital, a concept that will never be exhausted, he was definitely deceived]
[When artificial intelligence is powered off, it means it is artificially retarded.These projects that boast about the awesomeness of artificial intelligence are all scams to make money. Isn’t it good for a music player to have a real career?If you don’t have enough capital to crush them, why join in the fun?]
……

Netizens are not optimistic about this kind of investment by amateurs at all.

But Lu Zhou didn't pay attention to the public's voice.

In the past, he worked on this project quietly and never let anyone who knew about it reveal that he was engaged in AI entrepreneurship. Today, he deliberately released this news. He has only one purpose: to let Gao Ting'an see what he is doing.

Sure enough, the news quickly reached Gao Ting'an's ears.

At first, he knew Lu Zhou was working on an AI project and looked a little disapproving.

But until he read the project introduction in detail, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "It's interesting. Send this project information to Yichuang Group for a look. Within three days, a rough evaluation report of the project will be provided to me."

Xiao Wu: "OK."
