Science Guy God investment: West African chicken, alien dig, Elixir-gates, Ellison, Liu Qiang East-IT information
Thought like the chicken so the rich flavor of professional high-end atmosphere and no half cents with the Science Guy, fifth last week, but Forbes, United States 400 richest philanthropic Summit, Bill Gates surprisingly introduced his plans for the West African chicken.
"No return on an investment like a chicken. "Bill Gates for West African chicken plans to give a high evaluation.
Software genius wishful thinking is taxi: a peasant keeps three hens and a rooster, altogether three months can give birth to 12 chickens, 250 a year. In Africa, a chicken can sell for about $ 5, then keep four chickens can get 1250 dollars a year income.
Gates's goal is that within five years to make 30% of West African households have joined to raise 100,000 chickens, in order to achieve this goal, his Fund for this chicken project to invest 400 million dollars a year.
Teach a man to fish, better to teach a man to fish, he hope to improve the nutrition of the natives by chicken level and purpose worthy of recognition.
Genius, a genius, is that they can think of the ordinary people cannot think, dare not to think, and get rid of stereotypes, go try.
But Gates ' plan of West African chicken was wonderful, is not the chicken this dirty work, identity disparity with gates, but the subjective and objective conditions are not met.
In West Africa, in the echo of the Sub's diary describes in this barren land surrounded by desert and the Atlantic on this poor, war was also for many years, the international community has helped the people get out of poverty, but all failed. People are difficult to survive, not to mention the chicken.
So Gates chicken scheme is somewhat idealistic.
In fact, not just Bill Gates, many Science Guy has a surprisingly "spirit" investments.
Larry page, Cameron investment "alien dig"
Film avatar Director Cameron provided new ideas for exploration of natural resources. Of Unobtanium in the film (a rare type of superconductor) is unlikely to be found in reality, but Mr Cameron insisted that mining in the mineral-rich planet is very valuable.
Cameron's idea received the support of Google's Larry page, Eric Schmidt. They invested in a with Cameron to asteroid mining "planetary resources" (Planetary Resource) startups, this project plans to be sold raw material back from the asteroid mining profits, if you plan to realize their business could add trillions of dollars to global GDP, and redefining natural resources.
Although the current level of technology, in "extraterrestrial mining" there are still many insurmountable difficulties for the time being, but with the development of science and technology of the "do not fly" ideas are likely to be achieved.
Larry Ellison developed the "elixir of life"
Ranking second only to gates and Buffett, known as the Silicon Valley of "Playboy", Larry Ellison is definitely playing science and technology circles an old gun. After you have the wealth and beauty, this "dude" I'm afraid most wanted was longevity, in fact that's what he did.
Ellison created a medical foundation-the Ellison Medical Foundation (Ellison Medical Foundation). The Foundation is devoted to research on anti-aging medicine.
Ellison has been in the Foundation spent about $ 1 billion, but Ellison is now 72 years old, did not know how long it will take to truly use anti-aging medicine.
Musk: immigrants to Mars, to save humanity
"I want to retire on Mars. "Known as the" iron man "the prototype Yilong·masike had let out pronouncements. Musk 2001 identified human interstellar immigration, especially settlement goals of Mars. Now 15 years past, seemingly impossible idea is slowly becomes reality.
Headed by musk, SpaceX has been seen as a bit of aerospace giant "arrogant nouveau riche", but the "nouveau riche" have successfully completed the "Falcon 9th" rocket launch and recovery operations at sea. Musk in the leading commercial spaceflight and eventually send humans to Mars journey, reached a new milestone.
" If some kind of catastrophic destruction of the Earth, for humanity continuous human stars are a humanitarian idea. "Mr MASKEY said.
Although musk's ideas seem a little crazy, but he had many skeptics to sit up with the action.
Jeff Bezos: heavy industrial zone, away from the Earth
As a famous aerospace private "blue origin" and founder of Amazon, Bezos said that of musk and his space does have many similarities, but he does not focus on colonizing Mars like musk.
He prefers supporting facilities in space, space industry, and eventually all of Earth's heavy industries are moving away from the Earth, and in this way to protect the Earth.
Bezos founded Blue origin in 2000 and aimed at tourists into orbit for space travel, and have sent spacecraft into suborbital "new Shepard rocket." Which 100-kilometer high across the Kármán line (the boundary between Earth's atmosphere and space), and then a soft landing back to Earth.
By 2018, the rocket will be carrying paying tourists to space travel.
Liu returned to his home and rice
Marry tea later Liu was on the pinnacle of life, but the a place in the field of Internet cafes have planted rice.
In June 2011, Jingdong Mall CEO Liu in a posting on Twitter, said excitedly: "my own kind of rice at last! ”
In February of that year, Liu announced that rice back to Suqian in Jiangsu Province hometown, he rented the 5000 acres of land, without pesticides, chemical fertilizers, the first batch of rice in June of that year in the store to sell. Catty price 6 Yuan to 25 Yuan, much higher than the market price.
Although the rice problem listed by name of Liu led to disputes, Liu also Twitter to apologize. But the Internet has its own unique insights in the field of CEO interest in rice's a bit unexpected.
Bosses are big because they will be in the eyes of others "do not fly" became a reality, and a seemingly distant "God" investment once it is possible to change the history of mankind.
For now, big Lady of some plans, in the context of today's science and technology, temporarily difficult to achieve, but man, you cannot lose your dreams, if implemented it?
科技大佬神投资：西非养鸡、外星挖矿、长生不老药 - 盖茨,埃里森,刘强东 - IT资讯
本以为像养鸡这么富有乡土气息的职业和高端大气的科技大佬之间没有半毛钱关系，但是在上周的第五届福布斯美国400富豪慈善峰会上，比尔·盖茨却出乎意料地介绍了他的西非养鸡计划。
“没有一项投资的回报能像养鸡那样。”比尔盖茨对于西非养鸡计划给予了很高的评价。
软件天才的如意算盘是这么打的：一个农民养三只母鸡、一只公鸡，三个月一共可以生出12只小鸡，一年有250只。在非洲，一只鸡可以卖大约5美元，那么养四只鸡一年可以得到1250美元收入。
盖茨的目标是在五年内让30%的西非家庭都加入进来，要养10万只鸡，为实现这个目标，他的基金每年为这个养鸡项目投入4亿美元。
授人予鱼，不如授人予渔，盖茨希望通过养鸡提高当地人的营养水平和收入的初衷值得肯定。
天才，之所以能够为天才，就是他们能够想普通人之所不能想，不敢想，并且摆脱世俗偏见，亲自去尝试。
但盖茨的西非养鸡计划之所以奇葩，不在于养鸡这种脏乱差的活，与盖茨身份悬殊，而是主客观条件都不太具备。
西非，在三毛的《撒哈拉的日记》里就有描述，这一个被沙漠和大西洋所包围的不毛之地，这里不仅穷，还长年战乱不堪，国际社会也曾经帮助过这里的人们脱贫，但都铩羽而归。人都难以生存，何况鸡乎。
因此，盖茨的养鸡计划，多少有些理想化。
其实不只是比尔盖茨，很多科技大佬都有令人出乎意料的“神”投资。
拉里·佩奇、卡梅隆投资“外星挖矿”
电影《阿凡达》的导演卡梅隆为探索自然资源领域提供了新想法。虽然电影中的Unobtanium(一种罕见的超导体)不太可能在现实中找到，但卡梅隆坚持认为在矿产丰富的星球上采矿物是很有价值的。
卡梅隆的想法得到了谷歌的拉里·佩奇、埃里克·施密特的支持。他们和卡梅隆一起投资了一家致力于小行星矿业开采的“行星资源”(Planetary Resource)创业公司，这个项目计划通过是在出售从小行星上开采回来的原材料的获利，如果计划得以实现其业务可为全球增加数万亿美元的生产总值，并重新定义自然资源。
虽然就目前的科技水平来说，在“外星挖矿”还存在很多暂时无法克服的困难，但是随着科技的发展这个“不靠谱”的想法很有可能会被实现。
拉里·埃里森研发“长生不老药”
排名仅次于盖茨和巴菲特，被誉为是硅谷的“花花公子”，拉里·埃里森绝对是玩转科技圈的一枚老炮。在拥有了财富和美女之后，这位“花花公子”恐怕最想得到的就是长寿，事实上他就是这么做的。
埃里森创建了一个医学基金会——埃里森医学基金会(Ellison Medical Foundation)。该基金会致力于研究抗衰老药物。
埃里森已经在这个基金会上花费了约10亿美元，不过埃里森现在已经72岁，不知道还要等多久才能真正的用上抗衰老药物。
马斯克：移民火星，拯救人类
“我要在火星上退休。”被誉为“钢铁侠”原型的伊隆·马斯克曾放出豪言。马斯克2001年定出了让人类星际移民，特别是定居火星的目标。如今15年过去，看似不可能想法正慢慢变为现实。
由马斯克领导的SpaceX一直被视作一个紧咬航天巨头的“傲慢暴发户”，但这位“暴发户”却成功完成了“猎鹰9号”火箭的发射和海上回收作业。马斯克在主导商用航天领域并最终将人类送上火星的征程中，到达了全新的里程碑。
“一旦地球发生某种灾难性毁灭，为了人类连续，人类多星球化是一个基于人道主义的想法。”马斯克称。
虽然马斯克的很多想法看起来有些疯狂，但他却用行动让许多怀疑主义者刮目相看。
杰夫·贝索斯：将重工业区搬离地球
作为著名航天私企“蓝色起源”和亚马逊的创始人，贝索斯表示自已与同为太空家的马斯克确实有很多相似之处，但他并不像马斯克那样只关注殖民火星。
他更希望在太空建立空间工业的相应配套设施，最终把地球上所有的重工业都搬离地球，以这种方式来保护地球。
贝索斯于2000年创办蓝色起源，旨在将游客送入地球轨道进行太空旅游，并已拥有能将飞船送入亚轨道的“新谢泼德火箭”。这种火箭能飞越100千米高的卡门线(地球大气层与太空的边界)，再软着陆返回地面。
到2018年，这种火箭将搭载付费游客前往太空旅行。
刘强东回到老家种大米
娶了奶茶后的刘强东可谓是走上了人生巅峰，但是这位在互联网领域占据一席之地的大咖曾经却种过大米。
2011年6月，京东商城CEO刘强东在微博上发帖，兴奋地说：“我自己种的大米终于上柜了！”
当年2月，刘强东宣布回江苏宿迁老家种大米，他租了5000亩土地，不施农药、化肥，第一批大米当年6月在京东商城叫卖。每斤售价6元到25元不等，远高于市场价格。
虽然刘强东的大米一上市就因名字问题引来了纷争，刘强东也在微博道歉。但是这个在互联网领域有着自己独到见解的CEO会对种大米产生兴趣也多少让人有些意外。
大佬之所以是大佬是因为他们将别人眼中的“不靠谱”变成了现实，而一个个看似遥远的“神”投资一旦实现就有可能改变人类的历史。
从目前来看，大咖们的有些计划，在现在的科学技术背景下，暂时难以达到，但人类，不能失去梦想，万一实现了呢?
