As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 340 Value

“This is a photo of the day when Kechuang Bio was founded. Standing in the middle is Mr. Zheng. He looks very young, right? He was only 19 years old at the time.

Standing on his left is Mr. Cheng, who was also the first general manager of Kechuang Bio. He later retired and started his own business, which was also very successful.

Mr. Cheng is the main investor in Temple Education, the first VR education listed company.

On Mr. Zheng’s right was Mr. Miaomiao, who was not even 19 years old at the time.

Except for these three, the others are the earliest batch of employees.

I only know a few of these employees, so I won’t introduce them to you in detail.”

Chen Ran looked at the very young Zheng Li and Li Miaomiao in the photo, and wondered if Zheng Li became a mage at that time?

Chen Ran only knew that Zheng Li was Merlin, but he didn't know Zheng Li's true identity.

Whether they are aliens or the inheritance of a higher-level civilization, not only Chen Ran but other countries don’t know either.

In this photo, Zheng Li is looking into the distance with an expressionless face. He does not look like a young man who just turned 18 and received 50 million in venture capital. Not to mention arrogance, even complacency is not revealed in his expression.

Previously, in the era of mobile Internet, there was a college student who created an application called Super Course Schedule. After receiving tens of millions of dollars in venture capital, the founder’s arrogance was very obvious when he was on the show.

Seeing Chen Ran staring at the photo, Liu Song asked, "Do you think President Miaomiao and Director Zheng look very young?"

Chen Ran nodded and said, "Heroes emerge from youth. When I was 19, I stayed in my dorm playing games every day.

Let alone starting a business, my dream at that time was to find a job that could support myself and get off work on time every day to play games. "

“That’s normal. Mr. Zheng is a top genius who published a paper in Nature at the age of 18 and invented brain-computer connection technology at the age of 20.

Few people can be compared with Mr. Zheng.

This is a talent, and talent is the hardest to change.

Effort determines the lower limit, and talent determines the upper limit.

Mr. Chen's success in starting a business shows that he has both hard work and talent, but there is still a gap compared to Mr. Zheng's talent."

Chen Ran knew that Li Miaomiao, like himself, was a worker chosen by Zheng Li, so this description was the most appropriate.

But looking at what Li Miaomiao had obtained, Chen Ran felt that working for Zheng Li was not bad. At least the salary was unmatched by any other employer.

"Ernst & Young publishes a list of the world's best employers every year. Logically speaking, Zheng Li should definitely be at the top of the list," Chen Ran thought.

After listening to it, he smiled and said, "Mr. Zheng's achievements at the age of 19 are incomparable to what I can achieve now.

I don’t really have any talent, I just have a little bit of luck.”

Liu Song quickly said: "How is it possible? There are many people who are lucky, but being able to truly transform luck into success at the social resource level is not something that can be achieved by luck alone.

Especially in China.

The level of competition in China is more intense than in many other countries.

As an aside, ten years ago there was a trend of saying "lie down and lie flat" in society, but who dared to lie down and lie flat?
The fierce competition in China is like everyone is a crab in a crab cage, and if you don’t move, you will not stay in your original position, but will be stepped on to the bottom by other crabs who want to climb up.”

As a vested interest, Liu Song instinctively hates remarks that suggest one has nothing to lose.

Seeing that Chen Ran did not respond but just nodded, Liu Song continued to introduce:
“This was the first endorphin produced by Sinopharm in its biopharmaceutical manufacturing base in Suzhou, and Sinopharm had not yet been listed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board.

At that time, Kechuang Bio was just a well-known company in the field of biomedicine, and it seemed to have the title of the unicorn company with the highest market value in the world.

Everything is in the ascendant state.

At that time, Miaomiao always believed that we would become a global enterprise in the future.

Let employees keep something memorable.

At that time, Ke Chuang Biotechnology had a special memorial hall to preserve these things.

This endorphin should have little medicinal effect. For Science and Technology Biotechnology, this is our first step towards profitability.

After the first endorphin was manufactured, we began global clinical trials and then officially sold it. Since then, Kechuang Bio has had a stable cash flow. "

"Until the brain-computer interface mobile phone was launched on the market, the sales and patent licensing of endorphins were the main sources of income for Kechuang Biotechnology."

In the early days of entrepreneurship, Liu Song had not yet joined Ke Chuang Bio, but he was familiar with everything here.

In the past, whether it was senior government officials or well-known entrepreneurs, when they came to visit Ke Chuang Bio, he personally introduced them.

Compared with the entrepreneurs he had personally introduced before, Chen Ran might be the one with the lowest net worth.

Chen Ran was not unfamiliar with endorphins. Almost everyone was exposed to anesthetic drugs directly or indirectly.

Not to mention that there are all kinds of statements about endorphins in the self-media, and it is hailed as the most profitable drug after sildenafil.

This drug is also seen as a thorn in the eyes of many addictive substance trafficking organizations.

"It's a genius invention that makes people sincerely admire it. It saved many lives at the beginning of the pandemic."

“Yes, although endorphins were not invented by Mr. Zheng, he did discover the large-scale industrial production method.

This drug has faced the problem of abuse since its inception because it can be used in so many places.

The control in China is very strict, but in some places overseas, the abuse of endorphins is particularly obvious. "

The phenomenon of endorphin abuse in some overseas countries has reached the point where they accuse China of deliberately exporting endorphins to corrupt their citizens, saying that this is a new generation of the Opium War launched by China.

"This is the first generation of brain-computer interface mobile phone. We provide the technology, and Rice manufactures the engineering machine."

Chen Ran missed the past very much. At that time, he had just graduated from college a few years ago. Although he joined Tencent, he was not well off financially.

The first brain-computer interface connected to a mobile phone was from Rice.

Xiaomi phones have some minor flaws, but they are cheap.

At the beginning, brain-computer interface phones from other manufacturers started at 8,000 yuan, but Xiaomi reduced the price to 5,000 yuan.

Good news for frugal digital enthusiasts.

After the release of Ke Chuang Future's brain-computer connection VR, many consumers had been expecting Xiaomi to launch brain-computer connection VR and lower the price in the first year.

“Then here are photos of the day when Sinovation Biopharma went public. At that time, Mr. Zheng had already gone to Singapore, so he did not participate in the ribbon-cutting and bell-ringing.

However, Mr. Zheng still gave his blessing via remote phone call.

There was also an interesting story at that time. Because of the release of Kechuang Bio's brain-computer connection technology, the market value pricing of Kechuang Bio had to be re-determined.

This makes the already time-tight listing process even more tense.

Ke Chuang Bio's listing approval process is the fastest among all projects handled by the Main Board, ChiNext, Science and Technology Innovation Board and Beijing Stock Exchange.

The main reason was that the China Securities Regulatory Commission hoped that Kechuang Bio could be listed on the first anniversary of the launch of the Science and Technology Innovation Board.

To get a good start, all the procedures were expedited.”

It's not just China's financial practitioners who are superstitious; financial practitioners in other countries are superstitious as well.

For example, some traders will eat the same lunch when they are making money, until they lose money and then change lunch, and then change it again after the losses stop.

Many Wall Street traders also believe that you must not go to the toilet in a pit that has bad luck. "At that time, Sinovation was a big player. On the day of your listing, even I, who don't trade stocks, saw the hot searches for Sinovation's listing on Weibo."

"Mr. Chen, it's our turn soon." Liu Song reminded.

He continued:

"Because at that time, the shareholders of the Science and Technology Innovation Board had high hopes for Sino-Tech Biotechnology, hoping that the listing of Sino-Tech Biotechnology could reverse the downward trend of the Science and Technology Innovation Board.

I also paid special attention to the company Science and Technology Innovation Biotechnology because I bought the Science and Technology Innovation 50 ETF at that time.

After all, companies of this level will definitely be included in the Science and Technology Innovation 50 Index after listing on the Science and Technology Innovation Board.

Then I had the idea of ​​joining CStone Biotech and officially joined the company in August of that year.

This was also a turning point in my career. Do you know what I did before that? "

Chen Ran shook his head, "I don't know."

"Guess what."

"A practitioner in the financial industry?" Chen Ran made this judgment based on the other party's purchase of ETFs. After all, there are only a few people who can distinguish between public funds, private funds, ETFs, and FOFs.

Even when it comes to financial management, most people just buy whatever they hear is good.

Liu Song nodded: "You guessed half right, I do work in a financial company, but I am not engaged in the financial industry.

I work as a software developer in a financial company.”

Before joining Sinovation Biotech, Liu Song had been working in software development at CICC.

This kind of software development at a brokerage firm has low technical requirements, high salaries and low work intensity, making it Liu Song's ideal job.

Because the only requirements for software development in the financial industry are stability and security. Usability and performance are not within their consideration.

Therefore, the requirements for the technology stack are very low.

"Financial IT is also IT. We are in the same industry. No wonder I felt a sense of familiarity when I saw Minister Liu."

“This is the cosmic coordinate system of the first magic coin discovered by Kechuang Biotechnology. We have desensitized a section of the data.

This is the first magic coin obtained by a Chinese enterprise and it is of great commemorative significance.

It’s a pity that the magic brain is too precious, and Kechuang Biology can’t afford to put one here for everyone to see.”

Chen Ran thought, what’s the big deal? Not to mention one, even ten Zheng Lis could be put here.

After the tour, Liu Song took Chen Ran to the sky restaurant on the 20th floor for dinner.

After both parties sat down, Chen Ran asked curiously: "Minister Liu, isn't it time for dinner yet?
Why do I see so few people here?
Or is it that Kechuang Biotechnology is implementing staggered dining?"

In the huge sky restaurant, only less than one-third of the seats were occupied.

You should know that when Chen Ran was at Tencent, the entire employee cafeteria was full of people at mealtime.

Liu Song explained, “We have been promoting working from home since about two years ago.

You can choose to work from home or come to work.

Whether you work from home or on-site every day, you just need to submit an application in the internal office system.

After a year of operation, many people have become accustomed to working from home.

After all, working from home can save commuting time.

And now that technology is so advanced, there is not much difference between working from home and working on-site.

The cafeteria at the R&D center that you are going to visit tomorrow is very busy.

Research and development work cannot be done from home.”

After Li Miaomiao finished a day's work and returned home, she saw Li Shuyao waiting for her in the living room.

"Why are you here? Where is your husband?" Li Miaomiao asked while taking off her shoes.

Li Shuyao's face was full of dissatisfaction: "Don't mention him, we had a fight recently, and then I thought of coming here to calm down.

I happened to have taken a day off tomorrow, so I will stay in Gusu for three days including the weekend.

It's totally unreasonable to bring negative emotions from work home and put on a sour face at home. Who are you showing it to? "

Li Miaomiao laughed unkindly, "Haha, it's normal for couples to have conflicts.

Maybe he has too much pressure at work."

Li Shuyao complained: "Who doesn't have a lot of pressure?

The net value of the funds I manage has fallen by more than 30% in recent days, and clients are calling to put pressure on me every day.

I am under a lot of pressure too.”

Li Miaomiao asked: "The net value has dropped so much, and your leader still gave you leave?"

Li Shuyao raised her eyebrows: "When I went to ask for leave, he asked me why I wanted leave?
When he heard that I took leave to visit relatives in Suzhou, he immediately smiled and said hello to me.

If I want, I can stay in Suzhou for a few more days. He will help me arrange it as a business trip so that I don’t have to use up my annual leave quota.

He is an old fox. He is eager for me to get some information from you so that he can prepare for the fund's stock holdings and stock swaps.

The rocket you launched this time was too big, it has pierced the sky of the global capital market.

On the day you released the virtual reality trailer, our chairman personally called me five times and asked me to find out about the situation.

Didn't I ask you that day? Then I gave you feedback, which didn't satisfy them.

But for your sake, they dare not do anything to me."

Li Miaomiao asked Li Shuyao to reply at that time, saying that it was not convenient to disclose the information and asked them to wait for official news.

“But I am indeed curious about the level of your virtual reality.

It could cause such a huge sensation.

Tell me about it at home."

Li Miaomiao said helplessly: "What we say at home is likely to be heard by others.

It may not be official from our country. Maybe other countries have also installed eavesdropping devices in my house.

The NSA initially came to my house for a security check every year, and that's when they discovered the bug.

Later, the frequency became every quarter, but it was still discovered once.

So be careful, the walls have ears.”

Li Shuyao was shocked after hearing this: "Why have I never heard you say this before?
This job is so risky.
But it's also true that Zheng Li's influence is too great. As his number one confidant, it's normal for you to be monitored.

Just like the drastic fluctuations in the global capital market this time, if we could have known in advance, it would have been of great value! "
