Chapter 53 The establishment of Guangjia Technology
“Huh? Human body hibernation?
How much investment will be required to develop this technology?”
Lin Jia returned to Shenzhou from Zhejiang Province When Chen Yuanguang discussed his future plans with him, he briefly talked about the business of the technology company he wanted to establish.
Chen Yuanguang’s answer was far from Lin Jia’s expectation.
Lin Jia has many speculations about the business of the technology company established by Chen Yuanguang.
The first is to provide vaccine-related services and provide services to vaccine companies, such as mutation point prediction, virus prediction, etc. There are many things that can be done. Chen Yuanguang’s reputation has already been established. As long as he Once the intention is revealed, there are many pharmaceutical companies at home and abroad who are willing to cooperate, which is an easy model.
The second is to do pharmaceutical research outsourcing, which is similar to WuXi AppTec’s model. It uses Chen Yuanguang’s scientific research strength to form a team, and then uses his reputation overseas to take orders, slowly grow bigger, and also do some New drug research and development.
The third type is to build an AI medical research and development platform, specifically to provide services for the research and development of new drugs. Simply put, it is to build AI tools to empower the research and development of new drugs.
These three businesses can go hand in hand. The first and second are to ensure cash flow and the third is to invest in the early stage. When it becomes bigger, it can become a monopoly business in subdivided industries.
Coupled with Chen Yuanguang's fame and her domestic connections, if she reaches a certain scale, she can be listed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board. After listing, there will be a steady flow of cash flow to cultivate an AI pharmaceutical research and development platform. Lin Jia is very confident to become bigger and stronger.
The above is the development route that Lin Jia consulted with Chen Yuanguang after he returned home.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yuanguang had no intention of following the path she planned. The business he wanted to do was human hibernation. Lin Jia was stunned after hearing this, and used human hibernation technology to go to the future.
"Yuan Guang, what you said is very tempting. If it can be done, there will definitely be countless rich people willing to pay, especially the older rich people. Even if you ask for a billion dollars, like Buffett, Bill Gates and his gang won't blink an eyelid.
There are many hidden rich people, and there are also many who are willing to pay.
The problem is that I’m afraid it won’t be possible in the short term, right? I remember that this concept has been around since the last century. People kept throwing money into it, but I didn't see any splash.
When you do this, it is very likely that you have invested a lot of effort and your most precious time, and gained very little in the end. "Lin Jia made it clear that he was not optimistic.
Of course Chen Yuanguang would not say that theoretically I know how to achieve it. It is just how to combine the theory with the current level of science and technology. It is indeed difficult, but it is not completely impossible.
“Lin Jia, first of all, I have the confidence to make it, and secondly, all the results made in the middle can be realized.
It is not what you think. It requires a phased result before it can be sold. Some of its intermediate results are valuable.
Of course, it is definitely impossible to achieve profitability solely by relying on patent licensing, and it will also need to receive certain external financing. I am confident that we can achieve phased results in the short term. "Chen Yuanguang seemed confident.
Lin Jia said in confusion: "I have no problem with you wanting to do research on hibernation technology, and I have no problem with even wanting to devote most of your energy to it. I respect your decision. , this is your company.
But we can definitely carry out other businesses at the same time, such as vaccine development. I believe many pharmaceutical giants want to cooperate with you. You only need to put in a little effort to get good results and accumulate certain profits for the company. cash flow.
Why not? ”
Lin Jia doesn’t want to have a dispute with Chen Yuanguang on this. If the two parties cannot reach an agreement at the beginning, it will be fatal for starting a business together. The reason why Lin Jia did not choose to invest in Chen Yuanguang’s company, because she just wanted to help Chen Yuanguang lay a solid foundation in the early stage and gain experience for herself. After laying the foundation, she would return to the family business sooner or later
Chen Yuanguang said: "Because you think it is valuable, after the prediction model about virus mutation is released, it will be used by other pharmaceutical companies. It is not a patent, it is just theoretical knowledge.
Pharmaceutical companies will not say that they cannot use the theoretical knowledge from my research to guide their practice, because the model is very clearly written, including the algorithm and design logic. There is very little they need from me, nothing more than Combining new virus mutation data for model optimization
The value is limited. Unless I am willing to sign an independent cooperation and confidentiality agreement with a company, they may be willing to pay.
But I make money. The money received will eventually be transferred to the vaccine and become the cost of vaccination for everyone. I don’t want to do this.
I will do research in this area and I will make the research results public. I don’t want to make money from this. ”
Lin Jia realized that because he had not suffered too much since he was a child, Chen Yuanguang had a very strong idealistic temperament and did not have a strong desire to make money. It was precisely because of this that Chen Yuanguang attracted her when he was in college. kind of temperament, but when he is a business partner, his ideas give Lin Jia a headache.
"Okay, I respect your idea, what do you want to call the company? Lin Jia asked.
Chen Yuanguang said: "Guangjia Technology?" "After saying that, he stared at Lin Jia's eyes. Lin Jia thought to himself that he was finally not straight for once, but what the hell is Light Armor Technology? It's too ugly.
"This name sounds like a company that makes mechas. Same, wouldn't it be bad? "Lin Jia said it very tactfully.
Chen Yuanguang waved his hand: "No, the armor I built for everyone, doesn't this have a very good meaning?"
Lin Jia was unable to complain. Just now, I thought you were not straight, why are you starting to be straight now? The man got up and said, "You are the boss and you have the final say."
In the Caohejing laboratory, Guangjia Technology was established. Chen Yuanguang was full of confidence in the future of Guangjia Technology and achieved global success. First, it is not something that can be easily grasped.
Lin Jia was full of anxiety, feeling that this would be a failure in his career. Could it be that the first venture jointly launched by a top scientist and a top business elite ended in failure?
Lin Jia shook her head just thinking about it. As a perfectionist, she didn't want her resume to be stained.
"Yuan Guang, you've thought of a name. I'll go through the formalities and so on. Have you thought about how to recruit people?"
Chen Yuanguang said: "Let's find a headhunter. First, go through the industrial and commercial procedures. Recruit a vice president first, and then let him build the entire organizational structure."
Lin Jia stretched out his hand to take stock: "Legal affairs, finance, and human resources are the most important. In the early stage, we can integrate personnel and front desk. There is no need to rush for the sales and business team, at most one person is enough. There is no need to rush to recruit people before there are results that can be commercialized.
Finally, the R&D team, how many people do you plan to recruit for the R&D team?”
Chen Yuanguang thought to himself, "I alone am enough." But he said verbally: "About ten people? Recruiting two PhDs and eight masters?"
