The Youngest Son Of A Rich Family - Chapter 92
[092] Sowing time 2
“Professor! Professor Shashua.
When the lecture was over, I hurriedly followed the professor out the front door.
Not sure if this young professor was really that person, so I was a bit perplexed.
“What happened? Are you a late student?”
“It’s true that I came in late, but I’m not a student.”
Professor Shasua stopped and looked me up and down.
“Excuse me for this. So, what was the reason for finding me…?”
“Let me ask you one question first. Are you currently conducting research in the field of optics using relative standard deviation?”
“That’s right.”
Seeing that there is no sign of surprise, it seems that the study has already been made public.
Rather, it was me who was perplexed.
It seems that Professor Lee is the person I am looking for.
If there is no place to intervene already, flying all the way to Israel will be completely in vain.
I have already experienced enough that knowing a little about the future is not omnipotent.
If you buy a lot of undervalued stocks, the stock price suddenly rises and attracts the attention of other investment institutions. Investing in the short term is actually difficult.
Rather, it was more likely to look far and wait for several years and buy stocks bit by bit. However, this method is a bit cumbersome. When stock holdings exceed a certain amount and become a major shareholder, this is also likely to attract attention.
The best thing is to build a friendship before starting a business and become an angel investor. Of course, this is possible only if you memorize the information quickly.
Anyway, I sincerely hoped that it was not too late.
“This is going to be a bit long, so could you give me some time?”
When I took out my business card and handed it to him, he gave me an unexpected look.
“Miracle Investment?
The moment I saw that expression, I wanted to shout hurray.
That expression and eyes mean that no one has approached the business yet or is not preparing.
“yes. There is also a homepage URL on the business card, so check it out and have a meeting…”
Professor Shashua looked at the business card and me alternately before opening his mouth.
“See you in my lab at the Technology Center in two hours. Are you okay?”
“thank you. Then see you soon.”
As I bowed my head, he raised his hand and hurried away.
I wandered around the school for two hours.
I could afford it, so I could see what I missed because I was in a hurry. The barricades and checkpoints that had been removed by the main gate of the school stood out.
It is a fact that I learned later, but when the threat of Middle Eastern terrorism is detected, it is said that inspection and search are considerable. Not only visitors, but even students and professors were thoroughly searched, so I realized that it was a powder keg.
The Hebrew University’s archeology department was said to be at the highest level in the world, and the on-campus museum was also above the level. However, the school’s greatest pride is, of course, Einstein.
Einstein, who was of Jewish descent, bequeathed his intellectual property to the Hebrew University, which he led in founding, before his death in 1955.
Until about 10 years ago, intellectual property rights to Einstein were only formally owned, but no effort was made to commercialize it.
However, commercialization began in earnest when an intellectual property expert named Verry Hill was hired as an agent.
The university marketed Einstein’s name or image and began to charge usage fees for various events and advertisements using it. That’s more than $1.5 million a year in income.
It is a truly terrifying world because traders who turn people’s images into money have infiltrated even the sacred ivory tower.
After circling the school, I headed to the technology center.
When I entered Professor Shashua’s lab, three or four people were doing something with their heads on the computer monitor.
“Did you wait a long time? Come this way.”
Professor Shashua led me into a small room. It was surrounded by books, and printed papers and all kinds of camera lenses were piled up on the desks and chairs, so there was no place to sit.
He brought an auxiliary chair and placed it next to his desk, pointing at him.
Please sit down.”
It’s uncomfortable, but what can I do? You will be the goose that lays the golden eggs in the future.
“Can you tell me why the wizard of Hollywood wants to meet me wrestling with math formulas?”
A Hollywood wizard?
Could it be the nickname of the American Miracle? Or did you read an article with this title?
“Hollywood is just one part of our investments. We are always interested in startups with strong new technology potential.”
“Are you interested in CogniTens?”
“yes? Cocknitense?”
To make such a mistake!
No matter what comes out of Professor Lee’s mouth, you shouldn’t show surprise.
You shouldn’t find out that you know very little. I rushed into probation.
“Sorry, but please explain.”
He said with a slight look of disappointment.
“Cocknitense is a 3D optical measurement solution that can measure the precision of metal parts or assemblies. It is the name of the solution and the name of the company.”
I didn’t understand exactly, but it doesn’t matter.
Isn’t he a genius professor who became a hit with every item he founded?
“When did you start your company?”
“I started in 1995.”
“I will add that company to my list as well.”
“addition?”
“yes. The reason I visited the professor is because I am interested in technology that provides users with information collected through cameras within a minimum margin of error.”
Professor Shashua began to look at him with surprised eyes.
“How…?”
“I read papers on artificial intelligence and computer vision systems. oh i didn’t read it Our company staff discovered it, and I only understand the rough concept.”
Just in case, I quickly drew a line. In-depth questions and discussions had to be prevented. You shouldn’t be ignorant.
“Do you think the concept is great enough to cross the ocean?”
The professor’s eyes sparkled.
“The value will change depending on where the technology is applied. Professor, isn’t there a field you’ve already been thinking about?”
“of course. But I also wonder what Mr. Jean thinks.”
Looking into the professor’s eyes, he said without hesitation. Anyway, if you think differently with this technology, you have to change the direction, and if you are already thinking in the right direction, it would be perfect for you to agree with me.
“The eyes of the car.”
Professor Shashua’s eyes widened like car lights.
“I thought of a car that applied the professor’s technology. What if a small camera collects information around the car and informs the driver within the minimum margin of error? It can sound an alarm before contact with the outside world. What if the camera mounted on the rear bumper of the car was displayed on the indoor monitor? You don’t even have to turn your head when reversing or parking.”
“If the front-facing camera accurately calculates the distance to the car in front, collisions can be drastically reduced, and automatic braking is possible when traffic signals are recognized.”
The professor suddenly started talking about his thoughts.
“We will also bring lane recognition to a possible level. Then it prevents lane departure.”
“By converting analog data to digital, it can be incorporated into automotive systems.”
“you’re right. The final goal the professor wants is…”
“Autonomous driving where the car moves by itself!”
When I saw the professor talking excitedly, a hearty laugh came out.
“professor. What do you think is the true goal of autonomous driving?”
“yes? No, autonomous driving is the goal. A goal of a goal?”
“I think zero traffic accidents is the true goal of autonomous driving.”
This was to score points with Professor Shashua. And it was eaten.
He couldn’t open his mouth for a while. When I managed to open my mouth, the words that came out were admiration.
“okay. I hadn’t even thought about that.”
“It is only a matter of time. The professor must have thought enough.”
I’m not sure if it was Mr. Lee or the CEO of Google who said that the ultimate goal of autonomous driving is zero traffic accidents, but the results are satisfactory.
You will think of him as a young man with a broad outlook, not just an investor.
“Then shall we get to the point now?”
“Main subject?”
“yes. That is the purpose of my crossing the sea.”
“Could it be that concepts and basic theories are everything, but you mean investing?”
“I didn’t even tell you the terms of the investment, so don’t be surprised already.”
Calming his surprised heart, Professor Shashua said.
“Wait a minute. Autonomous driving is unlikely. It only appeared in sci-fi movies. Of course, it’s possible in theory, but I don’t know when it can be used in reality… In particular, it’s questionable whether humans will entrust the steering wheel to a computer chip. Because it is directly related to life.”
I don’t believe in myself and I’m not sure. maybe it’s natural Because the new era has come too soon.
And I knew that he was a trustworthy person. Doesn’t the person who needs to be invested say the negative side first, like an investor’s gaze?
“What could be more fantastic than making a dream come true? Look at our company name. It is Miracle.”
I left Professor Shashua, who was still at a loss, and got up. It’s better to leave room for this surprise.
“I am staying at the Sheraton. Carefully consider the investment conditions, etc., and feel free to contact us when you have made up your mind. Including true cocknitense. Then…”
A sudden and unrealistic situation happened to Professor Shashua.
When I said hello, I managed to come to my senses.
“Oh, excuse me. Sheraton…. We will contact you. Mr. Jean.”
I felt the strength when I took his outstretched hand.
Doesn’t holding your hand mean you won’t let go? It seems that the 9th ridge has already been crossed.
I am willing to accept any offer he makes.

I was thinking of taking a tour of downtown Jerusalem, but I just went straight to the hotel. You don’t know when a precious person will come, but you shouldn’t be idle.
Staying at the hotel and waiting for him to come find me is the right thing to do.
Upon entering the hotel, Assistant Manager Kim Yoon-seok, who was sitting in the lobby lounge and drinking coffee, jumped up and came running.
“Have you finished your work?”
“No, what are you doing here?”
“I’ve been waiting for you, boss.”
Are you honest or inflexible? Or is it because he is disturbed by the sound he heard on the plane?
“Oh, I also looked around the city in the morning. But everywhere I go, there are a lot of checks and there are soldiers with guns hanging around, so I didn’t feel like going sightseeing, so I just came in.”
A bloody laugh broke out. Occasionally I saw a soldier, but not enough to lose my heart to see the city.
The boss is working, but it’s just embarrassing to hang out.
“Anyway, Assistant Manager Kim has nothing to do. If not this time, I don’t know when I will come back to this country. Don’t regret it later, go see it. And if things go well today, I’ll be back tomorrow. I got plenty of it just in case.”
Assistant Manager Kim’s ever-changing expression is interesting.
“I’m going to go up to my room and get some rest. Just leave.”
I left Assistant Manager Kim, who was still hesitant, and walked to the front desk.
He handed out his business card and asked not to miss it if anyone appeared.
Now I need to stretch my feet and rest in peace.
This is because, at the latest in the evening, it will become the majority shareholder of a company with an asset value of over 10 trillion won, which has core autonomous driving technology.
