As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 339 Reception
"Mr. Chen, welcome to the headquarters of Sinovation Biotech, which has the best talents in the world and a rigorous yet dynamic corporate culture.

I hope that during the three days of your visit to Kechuang Biotechnology, you can fully experience the corporate culture of Kechuang Biotechnology and have a preliminary understanding of its corporate culture.

There is still a big difference between what scientific and innovative biotechnology is and what the outside world thinks of as scientific and innovative biotechnology.”

After Chen Ran finished dealing with some urgent and important matters, he flew to Gusu as soon as possible.

His purpose of coming to Gusu was very simple, to complete the signing of the equity transfer agreement and then have a simple communication with the person who would be sent to Chihu Entertainment as vice president.

He needs to judge whether the other person is easy to get along with.

Although Li Miaomiao had only called him a few times, the sense of oppression on the phone was very strong. Chen Ran could tell from the phone call alone that the other party was not an easy boss to deal with.

Judging from the content of the communication on the phone alone, Chen Ran could never imagine that this was the beautiful executive he saw at Tencent six years ago.

At that time, Li Miaomiao was also dressed very formally and had a smile on her face, giving Chen Ran the illusion that she was very approachable.

Chen Ran thought that if the vice president assigned to Red Fox Entertainment this time also had a similar style, then he would probably have to go through a period of adjustment.

Because Chihu Entertainment is highly profitable and it is not Chen Ran's own company, he is very lenient in the treatment and management of his subordinates.

There was even a case where the game release date was postponed in order to not put too much pressure on employees.

Chen Ran smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'm very honored to have the opportunity to visit the headquarters of China's largest private enterprise.

I guess I'll have to bother Minister Liu these days."

Liu Song is the director of the public relations department of Ke Chuang Bio. This department and this position determine that the other party has a very important background.

At the same time, Liu Song is also very capable.

For a company of the level of CStone Biotechnology, even if powerful people want to squeeze their children in, CStone Biotechnology can simply put them in marginal departments.

It is surprising that Goldman Sachs was able to recruit the governor's daughter by offering her an investment manager position in its investment department in Hong Kong.

In terms of treatment and status, Goldman Sachs' headquarters can be compared with that of CStone Biopharma.

Not to mention the public relations department, which needs to do certain practical things and has certain real power.

Moreover, public relations is not just about government relations, it also includes relations with the media, supply chain companies, and some strategic partners.

Liu Song’s own abilities are also pretty good, at least he is outstanding among all the people who were shoved in.

Liu Song's facial features give people a sense of intimacy, and a funny sense of intimacy. When you see him, you will think of your childhood friends who played mischief with you, your roommate who skipped classes to go to the Internet cafe with you in college, and your colleague who invited you to have a foot massage during work.

In short, you get the feeling that this guy is wild and knows how to have fun.

"There is no such thing as nagging. It is my honor to serve Mr. Chen.

I have admired Red Fox Entertainment for many years. Whether it was the very first "Feather of the Broken Law" or "The Mystery of Yongle" released last year, I played them as soon as possible.

President Zheng has repeatedly emphasized within the group that the most important thing is talent, and people-oriented is our greatest principle.

Mr. Zheng is undoubtedly a talent in game creation, and I specialize in serving talents.”

Liu Song appears to be exceptionally modest.

"The Mystery of Yongle" mainly tells the story of the protagonist, who is a Jinyiwei and is sent to find the missing Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen.

And the fantasy adventure stories that happened along the way.

Like Chihu Entertainment’s usual style, based on real history, a lot of fantasy content was added to enrich the entire plot framework.

At the same time, it gives players a certain degree of freedom.

It is unrealistic to expect too much freedom in this kind of story-based game.

And the higher the degree of freedom in a game, the better it is.

Red Fox Entertainment’s first work, “The Feather of Breaking the Law” has already been adapted into a movie, but even if “The Mystery of Yongle” is to be adapted into a movie, it will take a few years.

Because this kind of game, which is mainly puzzle-solving and supplemented by combat, would lose its biggest selling point once it was adapted into a movie.

Chen Ran didn't think it was strange that the other party could play games produced by Red Fox Entertainment. The other party looked like someone who was very good at playing games:

"It shows that we have done a good job and have won the favor of a successful person like Minister Liu."

After so many years of entrepreneurship, Chen Ran has long learned to speak differently to different people.

Chen Ran originally thought that this trip to Gusu would be quick. He would sign the agreement on one day, and then meet with the person who would serve as his deputy on another day.

At most he would want to meet Li Miaomiao and Zheng Li, and he even felt that Zheng Li would not see him at all.

Chen Ran had seen Zheng Li's abilities a long time ago.

Zheng Li could have a conversation with him in his mind and make things clear without meeting him.

The reason why Chen Ran believed it as soon as Li Miaomiao mentioned it was because Zheng Li told him about this matter in a mysterious way one day in advance.

"Li Miaomiao will come to see you later. Red Fox Entertainment will be merged into Kechuang Biotechnology and become a subsidiary of Kechuang Biotechnology. As for your personal equity rewards over the years, this will be decided by Li Miaomiao."

In the games of Red Fox Entertainment, voice transmission is considered an important way to determine whether a character is a hidden big boss.

This is also the easter egg buried in Chen Ran’s heart of resentment.

Liu Song brought Chen Ran to the lobby on the first floor of Building 1 of Kechuang Biotech’s headquarters:
"I am not a successful person at all. I am just a person who has come here to make a living and lead an ordinary life.

Mr. Chen, you are the truly successful person.

Being able to single-handedly establish such a successful entertainment company.

Your company has made Magical Ming Dynasty the most successful console game IP in the Chinese gaming industry over the years. No, it will soon be our company.

Its influence even exceeds that of The Legend of Sword and Fairy.

I admire you from the bottom of my heart.

Mr. Chen, let me say something without being modest. Chihu Entertainment is the first company that has been favored by Mr. Zheng in all these years.

Like Pico, ByteDance forced it on us.

Both Tencent and ByteDance wanted to make a deep equity exchange agreement with us, but Mr. Zheng rejected either of them.

The order to acquire Chihu Entertainment was actually given by President Zheng himself.

There must be something very, very great about you and Red Fox Entertainment."

Chen Ran could tell that the most important reason why the other party praised him was not because of how many copies of Red Fox Entertainment's games had been sold or how high the valuation of Red Fox was in the industry, but because Zheng Li had taken a fancy to Red Fox Entertainment.

But it's normal to think about it. After all, Zheng Li's reputation in the business world is even greater than that of Mr. Ma before him.

There are numerous competitors in the e-commerce field, and Taobao can only be said to be the winner in a certain segment of them.

Regardless of whether it is brain-computer connection VR or the current virtual reality, Ke Chuang Bio is an absolute monopolist.

Later, even though Microsoft, Apple, Sony, Samsung, etc. launched their own brain-computer VR, they were all based on the technology provided by Ke Chuang Bio.

It is also interesting to mention this. After Kechuang Biotechnology opened its brain-computer connection technology, America has no longer fined Kechuang Biotechnology for various reasons. However, the European Union still imposes huge fines on Kechuang Biotechnology every year for monopoly.

Because in this era, the Europa League does not have any outstanding consumer electronics brands.

Even if Ke Chuang Bio opens up brain-computer connection technology, the European Union will not be able to enjoy this wave of dividends.

Brands need to be nurtured. Nokia collapsed and has no capital to recover in the new era.

After the collapse of the PC era, Apple struggled for twenty years before it got back on the fast track of mobile Internet.

The Europa League has missed both the PC era and the mobile Internet era. Their consumer electronics brands are not declining, but dying.

Unless the next round of technological explosion begins in the European Union, it will be difficult for them to have a global consumer electronics brand.

Nokia is the last ray of light of the Europa League in the field of consumer electronics.

"It's my pleasure."

After Chen Ran finished speaking, Liu Song said as if it was a matter of course: "Mr. Chen, what would you like to drink?
This is a robotic arm barista, and it is also the origin of the cyberpunk-style coffee shop. "

It’s been ten years since the brain-computer-connected arm came out, and it was a phenomenal coffee shop that caused a sensation back then.

It's become commonplace now.

Luckin Coffee was the first to reap the benefits of this wave, and two years ago its global sales exceeded Starbucks for the first time.

"I'll just have an iced Americano."

Liu Song said to the disabled clerk at the bar: "Please give me an iced Americano and a latte, please. Please give me more sugar in the latte."

After Liu Song finished speaking, he took out his work card and swiped it, then turned to Chen Ran and said:
“I’m not used to bitter coffee, so I always add more sugar.

The clerk knows my habit, but I'll say it anyway.

Because the turnover of people in this cafe is quite fast.

Basically, there is a new generation of people every two years.”

The two of them were sitting on chairs at the entrance of the coffee shop on the first floor. Chen Ran was instantly interested when he heard this:
"why?
Aren’t the store clerks here all employed by disabled people?
Although they are not formal employees of Sinovation Biotechnology, it is still good enough for disabled people to have a stable job at Sinovation Biotechnology.”

Liu Song said with emotion: "It is very good, if there is no role model, it is like this.

But since there are role models in front of them, many of the baristas and shop assistants who come here have dreams and think they can succeed too.

The first barista of 2072 Coffee Shop became an internet celebrity by working there as a barista.

Later, he went out on his own and partnered with others to do business and became very successful.

The two consecutive baristas after him followed the same route and succeeded.

Therefore, all the baristas who come here want to either become internet celebrities or gain recognition and open a shop in partnership with others.

You have to know that there are many talented people among the employees of Kechuang Biotechnology, and one of them might be willing to pay to cooperate with you."

Liu Song looked very emotional, because he had been in Ke Chuang Bio for many years and was familiar with everything here.

“So Sinovation Biotech is a great platform where everyone has the opportunity to stand out.

Of course, I don’t need to say this, I believe you, Mr. Chen, can understand it.”

Chen Ran took a sip of the iced Americano that had just been served and frowned slightly, "Minister Liu, I am looking forward to my future at Kechuang Biotechnology.

This is another important turning point in my life.”

Liu Song nodded and said, "Congratulations, you will definitely not regret this decision.

You may think I talk too much, but I can see the reluctance in your heart.

After all, the company belongs entirely to oneself, which is very different from being acquired and having other people’s constraints.

Although an acquisition can bring in a huge sum of money, it also means that your hard work is given to others.

I would like to say that you can change your thinking and give Chihu Entertainment to Ke Chuang Biotechnology.

It is equivalent to raising your child and sending him to study in Peking University or Tsinghua University.

After graduating from Peking University and Tsinghua University, he continued to teach at the schools.

Not to mention that he is still with you now, and you can also interfere with his life and growth. "

As the head of the public relations department, the thing he has the most is the ability to speak eloquently.

After saying this, Chen Ran's expression softened.

“Minister Liu, you are a wonderful person, and what you just said was a wonderful remark.

I am obsessed with appearances."

Liu Song smiled and said, "It's okay, it's normal, I've read a lot of news about Red Fox Entertainment in the news reports.

Your company has rejected so many quotations from other companies. I believe Mr. Chen attaches great importance to the autonomy of the company.

Autonomy is only a very small part of the company. If you broaden your horizons, you will find that there is no company founder who can always have the autonomy of the company.
Even control is lost.

Steve Jobs was kicked out of Apple's board of directors, and Xiaomi's Lei Jun was scolded by investors.

It’s hard to maintain autonomy in life.”

Chen Ran was not happy with the other party's soft but tough words. After all, he had been smooth sailing all the way, so he asked back:
"What about Director Zheng?
As a company as large as Kechuang Biotechnology, Mr. Zheng still retains full autonomy.”

Liu Song laughed out loud: "Haha, Mr. Zheng is a genius among geniuses, who can compare with him?
Not to mention the past 100 years, even in the next 100 years, it will be impossible to find a talent like Mr. Zheng who is proficient in scientific research and management. "

Liu Song doesn't talk about business, he talks about management.

He has an in-depth understanding of the management system of Ke Chuang Bio and believes that this system is very scientific and can stimulate employees' creativity and work enthusiasm.

Chen Ran wholeheartedly agreed with this statement. The other party was not a normal person at all, so how could he be compared with normal people?

"You are right. Mr. Zheng is indeed an extraordinary person who does extraordinary things."

Liu Song picked up the half-remaining cup of coffee, stood up and said, "Mr. Chen, I will take you to the history exhibition hall of Kechuang Biology on the second floor.

Then we went to the sky restaurant on the 20th floor for a quick meal.

In the afternoon, we will go to Building 2 and Building 3 to take a general look at the operations of Ke Chuang Bio and its subsidiaries.

Someone will take you to visit the R&D center in Gusu tomorrow, and someone will receive you there tomorrow."

Liu Song was actually very puzzled as to why he was asked to do this reception work in person.

Since this was a task assigned to him by Li Miaomiao, he had no right to refuse.

“This is where the history of Kechuang Biotech over the past twelve years is recorded, and it is also the most worthwhile place to visit in the entire Gusu headquarters.”
