Chapter 51 Career and Relationships
Half a year has passed since the paper was published. During this six months, the virus mutations discovered around the world have not deviated from the range predicted by the model. This has made the global scientific community more concerned about ending the virus pandemic. With confidence, Chen Yuanguang's reputation in academia has also been pushed to a new height.
For example, if the Gates Foundation recruited Chen Yuanguang with a million-dollar annual salary, if it were someone else, this news would only be limited to China. At best, foreign countries would give it a small space to report, and it would not cause any concern. Too big of a response.
Because it is Chen Yuanguang, after this matter was fully fermented in China, foreign mainstream media such as Fox, CNN, and the New York Times rushed to report it, and by the way, they linked the Gates Foundation’s offer with Chen Yuanguang’s scientific research results. It has pushed Chen Yuanguang's public opinion in the minds of people around the world to a new height.
It is also a slightly famous category abroad.
"Excellent Chinese people, outstanding achievements, it is because of these outstanding scientists that our world will not become so bad." This is the comment on Twitter under the New York Times report, which is positive and normal.
“Damn the Chinese have taken away our jobs. America should restrict the entry of Chinese and people from other countries. America is the America of America!” This is Fox Comments on related reports on Twitter were very manic.
"Is it the scientific research results of the Chinese? Have you stolen the scientific research results of Amerikan?" This is the comment under CNN's related report on Twitter. It is a traditional entertainment.
The audiences of each media are different, and their reports will also be biased. The audience will be further screened. The media and the audience will achieve mutual success, eventually forming one information cocoon after another.
"Yuan Guang, congratulations, it is a wonderful movie. Compared with 1, the plot and presentation effect are even more original and wonderful." Lei Jun congratulated.
This is the movie viewing base of Bona's Shenhai branch. Hosted by Jenny's successor, Lei Jun and Chen Yuanguang were invited to watch the movie "Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur 2" before its release.
Lei Jun was very interested. After reading it, he kept chattering about the plot. He even insisted on dragging Chen Yuanguang to his Xiaomi branch in Shenhai. He was still chatting about the media in the car:
"I have always wanted to invest in a film and television company. As early as 2015, I wanted to invest in Enlight Media. Lao Wang was too wary of me. He first brought this matter to the media and said that the wolf was coming, and then he and Enlight The other shareholders quickly signed an investor concerted action agreement, which made Enlight Media look like a hedgehog, leaving me unable to find a way to break through.
That’s when we gave up. Later, we planned to invest in Bona Media, but we were rejected. The studio was the first to get there, which made me think that I was born to be in conflict with the film and television industry.
Now it seems that is not the case. After watching Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur 2, I am very confident that this will be another successful film.” Lei Jun talked freely in the car, and the old man's past events came to him at his fingertips.
Chen Yuanguang admires Lei Jun very much. He is one of the rare Chinese tycoons who started his career without original sin. Apart from being criticized as a monkey trick, supply chain integrator, bragging (marketing) master, giving himself 9.9 billion equity incentives, etc., he has nothing special. of black spots.
Even these, compared with the rich people who started their careers in the early days, are no different from the white lotus. They can only be regarded as flaws, not black spots.
“I have always felt that there is an element of gambling in film and television media companies. It is difficult for you to judge the audience’s taste and whether the work will be successful.
The taste of professional companies can only be used as a reference. From an investment perspective, this is actually not a good target." Seeing the other party talking so happily, Chen Yuanguang also expressed his opinion.
Having observed Lin Jia’s capital operations, and the daily interactions with Lin Jia, Chen Yuanguang can also say a few words on such topics.
Lei Jun said with a smile: "That's right. The film and television industry has always enjoyed low valuations because of their uncertainty.
I just want to say that from the perspective of my investment map, we will I feel that film and television investment is needed to complete the entire investment landscape, so that some business cooperation can be coordinated.
For example, Goose Factory has entered the film and television industry, including China Literature, Xinli Media, Maoyan Entertainment, Douban, and Bo. Na Pictures, etc., after they connect these, the business can form a synergy.
Whether it is Shunwei Capital or Xiaomi, they have always made scattered investments in this area and have not played their role as investors. The support from investment companies is very limited, so investing in the film and television industry is based on strategic planning and overall considerations. Of course, we gave up in the end because we are not as strong as Goose Factory and Ali. Demand.
Xiaomi is more of a hardware company. ”
The topics we talked about in the car were very divergent, ranging from investment to future mutations of the virus, science popularization of broad-spectrum vaccines, etc. Lei Jun talked more and Chen Yuanguang talked less.
Wait until After Xiaomi Shenhai branch, Lei Jun began to talk about his true intentions: "Junior brother, I don't think you will do it for others.
You should start your own business in the future, right? "
Chen Yuanguang said: "Yes, I am preparing to establish a biotechnology company recently. ”
This is not a secret. He can find it out after registering, so there is no need to keep it secret.
Lei Jun then asked: "If you have any need for funds, just ask. How much do you think the company is worth and how many shares can you give me? I will give it to you directly."
Lei Jun showed it. Chen Yuanguang's atmosphere made Chen Yuanguang sigh. The boss is really generous. He also knows that this is because he has fully demonstrated his own value:
"I don't have financial problems for the time being. If I do, I will definitely follow up." "Look for senior brother."
Lei Jun did not continue the topic, and then asked: "Are you lacking someone?
The establishment of a company, the construction of the entire organizational structure, and the selection of people are very important, as they are related to whether the entire organization is dynamic.
I don’t think you are interested in management. I am curious to ask, who is in charge of the company you established, you or Lin Jia? "
Chen Yuanguang guessed what the other party was going to say, so he said directly: "I cooperated with Lin Jia in film and television investment because I had no start-up capital and needed to use her capital.
But in terms of the business, I will fully control it. ”
His subtext is that I don’t want to sell my shares for the time being, not even Lin A.
Lei Jun asked: "What about the specific management functions?"
Chen Yuanguang said: "In terms of management, I will look at Lin Jia's intentions and see if she is willing to help me with this work."
Lei Jun said: "Junior brother, that's it. I'm here to help you prepare for a rainy day, not to curse your relationship. I think it's best not to mix career and relationship, no matter how good your relationship is now.
< br>I smelled this smell before, so I came to talk to you this time.”
