Chapter 328: Is the inheritance of knowledge far behind?
This is because the front-line personnel at Guangjia Technology who are responsible for the research and development of innovative drugs, in addition to research and development work, have another very important job, which is to provide investment advice.

Conduct in-depth analysis on the innovative drug pipeline of the investment target and provide investment advice accordingly.

This will directly affect individual performance wages. For example, if you support investing in Company A, and Company A's innovative drug eventually becomes a huge success after it is launched on the market, then the front-line R&D personnel who wrote the report will receive dividends.

Compared with research and development with extremely low success rate and long cycle, it is much more satisfying to just cut other people's cake.

Among the innovative pharmaceutical companies that Guangjia Technology will invest in, there will be at least one or several innovative drugs that are about to enter the clinical stage.

You can see the results in half a year to a year.

It takes you three years to develop innovative drugs, which then require clinical trials. Even if you get to the stage of listing, there may not be a market for it.

The R&D personnel's minds are all on other people's cakes, it would be strange if they have the energy to do their own R&D.

Compared with its extremely impressive investment performance, Guangjia Technology's self-research capabilities are quite mediocre.

So much so that netizens in the stock forum joked:
"Guangjia Technology has spent three years trying to come up with this innovative drug, and they still have the nerve to use the Guangjia name?"

"Compared to Light Armor Aerospace, Light Armor Technology was established first, but it feels like it was picked up and has no love from its parents."

"Can Guangshen take the lead in the research and development of Guangjia Technology? This company is not even considered midstream among the pharmaceutical companies on the Science and Technology Innovation Board. It should even be considered downstream."

Netizens in the stock forum made sharp complaints because everyone had spent real money to support it.

If you are just Fosun Pharma which has monopoly technology, to put it bluntly, the premium you can enjoy is limited.

But if you can prove your leading position in the field of innovative drugs and walk on two legs, the premium you can enjoy will be quite exaggerated.

Chen Yuanguang naturally didn’t know all this. He only knew that judging from the data, the development of light armor technology was good.

He also had no idea of ​​coming up with more advanced human hibernation technology.

Because once the human hibernation technology advances to the point where it can be frozen for a year or two, thereby extending life, the entire society will become more rigid and class mobility will become more difficult.

At the annual meeting of Guangjia Technology, Chen Yuanguang also spoke a few words via remote video and then ended it hastily.

"Yuanguang, are you done with your work?" He walked out of the study. Chen Qingzhi was making tea at the tea table in the living room.

Since he came to Mianyang, his parents and Lin Jia's parents would come here to celebrate the Spring Festival together every year before the Spring Festival.

This time it was Chen Qianzhi who arrived first.

Since his grandfather passed away, Chen Qingwai looked noticeably older.

"After I'm done with my work, I'll just say a few words at the annual meeting," said Chen Yuanguang.

Chen Qingzhi seemed to be in a very talkative mood, because even though he was Chen Yuanguang's father, he rarely had the opportunity to have a deep and long conversation with Chen Yuanguang.

Almost every year, there is a similar opportunity only when the Chinese New Year is approaching: "Yuanguang, many of my old friends have lost interest recently.

Everyone has an unprecedented sense of crisis, and increasingly feels that the future will be like what is depicted in science fiction works, where most companies will die in the process, leaving only a few monopolistic companies surviving.

These companies control the birth, aging, illness and death of human society, and hold the lifeblood of human society.”

Chen Yuanguang smiled. At least in the future he saw, it was indeed like that. It was not even a minority. There was only one giant company controlled by artificial intelligence that controlled the world.

In the future, the few companies that can survive will not be because of their strong management capabilities, but because they are a kind of redemption of the human elite in the process of Alpha taking over the world.

These businesses were given franchises, and these franchises in a few areas allowed them to survive and thrive.

Chen Yuanguang felt that the rich were not completely useless. As individuals with more resources, they could at least smell this kind of smell.

"Haha, I didn't expect your old friends to have such views." Chen Yuanguang said, "Didn't you break off relations before?
Why did you start dating again recently? "

After Chen Yuanguang became rich, Chen Qingzhi's long-time drinking buddies gradually reduced their contact with Chen Qingzhi because they wanted to gain benefits but failed. In addition, after Chen Qingzhi lived in Shenhai for a long time, this kind of contact was even more severe.

Chen Qingzhi said with a hint of pride: "It's because you won the Nobel Prize.

They insisted on celebrating this, but I thought that we had been friends for decades and there was no need to break off the relationship like this.

Anyway, I made it very clear that they couldn’t ask me for help. When I played with them, I never expected them to help me with anything.”

Chen Qingzhi was very confident, "They are all smart people.

In recent years, business has indeed become increasingly difficult. Small bosses like them who have no other skills except money are not able to get good business, and it is not easy to do difficult business.

They told me a lot, and I have also seen a lot in the past twenty years. In essence, the survival space for small and medium-sized enterprises is shrinking.

This overall shrinkage will be attributed to the mechanism in public opinion.”

When in doubt, he calls his eyes to the sky. As a former civil servant in the system, Chen Qingzhi's ideas are not so superficial:

“I don’t think so at all. I think the most fundamental reason lies in the development and popularization of technology.

From traditional industries to emerging industries, the scale effect of large enterprises is unparalleled, and the popularization of informatization has led to the continuous squeezing of the living space of small and medium-sized enterprises.

For example, coffee shops, not to mention local coffee brands, even some national chain coffee brands cannot compete with Luckin Coffee.

The scale effect created by tens of thousands of stores across the country means that they can offer a price of 9.9 yuan without losing money.

The scale effect here is not just as simple as the cost of purchasing coffee beans, but also includes personnel training, equipment procurement, store traffic flow design, B-end and C-end software, etc.

Judging from the store’s traffic flow design, Luckin’s labor efficiency is better than other coffee shops.

Even if not every store can operate at full capacity at all times, if the traffic flow is well designed, employees will feel better during work and will not be so tired. The turnover rate will be lower than other companies and the labor cost will also be lower.

With the previous level of information technology, it would have been impossible to achieve unified management of tens of thousands of stores across the country. It was only with the improvement of information technology in recent years that this scale could be achieved.

Before the change, even if it could open tens of thousands of stores, it had no way to manage them directly. It must have been subcontracted to each province, and each province would then delegate power to each city.

Small and medium-sized enterprises can still find their own survival space in this management model of subcontracting, but other enterprises cannot survive under the management model brought about by technological progress now. "

After listening to this, Chen Yuanguang thought to himself, is this the strength of the fisherman? He can come up with a theory for you just by sitting and daydreaming every day. "Dad, what you said makes sense. To put it bluntly, it is the improvement of organizational management capabilities caused by the advancement of information technology.

Originally, the bank's headquarters managed the provincial branches, which in turn managed the municipal branches. Even at the municipal branch level, it might not be able to manage all outlets.

Now the headquarters can know the business and personnel situation of each branch in detail. This level of management precision was not possible in the past.

Taking Guangjia Aerospace as an example, before the change, I only cared about whether the supplier could meet our needs and whether they could produce the parts we needed.

Now we not only need to care about whether they can do it now, but also whether they can keep up in the future, what their overall technical R&D capabilities are, how much they invest in R&D, and how stable the R&D team is.

Is it possible that the core R&D personnel turnover is too fast? Each supplier will have to keep a record, which was not done in the past. "

After listening to this, Chen Qingzhi said: "Not only that, this is the organizational management ability, which is affected internally.

From an external perspective, in the most traditional consumer goods industry like the wine industry, leading wine companies such as Moutai, Wuliangye and Luzhou Laojiao still have to rely on distributors across the country, first, second and third levels, and the purchase costs and quantities of distributors at each level are different.

In recent years, distributors have been greatly impacted, and wine companies have begun to build their own channels and sell directly to consumers through e-commerce.

All industries are becoming oligopolistic, and leading companies are swallowing up every link in the entire chain.

In the past, computer technology led to a wave of organizational change. What about this wave of artificial intelligence?

My old friends are all very worried. They think the future of small and medium-sized enterprises is bleak and want to sell their businesses and find good jobs for the next generation.

In the past, a good job was being a civil servant, but now they feel that a good job is to work in the core department of a company with the potential to become a monopoly giant. This is a first-class good job.

My friends asked me privately, saying that if they gave me 10 million yuan, I could help them get their children into the R&D or sales department of Guangjia Aerospace.

Children with sufficient academic qualifications want to go into research and development, while those without such qualifications want to go into sales." Chen Qingzhi joked.

Ten million is not a small number, but the corresponding requirements are also very high. In the view of these local small and medium-sized entrepreneurs in Guangzhou, only the core departments are worth this price.

Chen Yuanguang asked curiously: "Cash?"

Chen Qingzhi nodded: "Cash, of course."

"Then your friends are still rich. Ten million in cash is not a small number." Chen Yuanguang sighed. It was easy for him to earn ten million in his life by himself, but he knew very well that this amount of cash flow was an astronomical figure for most people.

There are people who can accumulate assets of 10 million yuan by relying on real estate in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, but only very few can have 10 million yuan in cash.

"Of course, this group of people have taken advantage of the real estate boom. As long as they don't speculate in tea or cryptocurrencies, they will have some cash in their hands," said Chen Qianzhi.

Chen Yuanguang asked curiously, "Why do you need to buy a job?

Ten million in cash deposited in a bank regularly is equivalent to a job with an annual salary of three hundred thousand.

The salary for aerospace workers is only about 300,000 yuan. It's not a high salary, so why bother to work so hard?"

Chen Qingzhi sighed: "Their logic is that in the future a small number of monopolistic enterprises will monopolize social survival resources, jobs will be welfare, and only a few individuals will have the opportunity to work.

Based on this understanding, help your descendants find a job in the most likely monopolistic enterprise, which may be inherited.

Robots can already learn from humans, so how long will it take for humans to pass on their genes to humans?

In the future, I will work in a monopoly enterprise, and after retirement, I will pass on my experience to my son or daughter, who will take over from me and continue to work in this company, and this job will be passed down from generation to generation.”

Chen Yuanguang thought for a moment and said, "This is a bit too sci-fi."

Chen Qingzhi sighed: "Yes, even ten years ago, I would have thought that robots driving cars were science fiction, but now it is a reality, and it is a reality created by my son himself.

Who can guarantee that the future will not be like this?
For them, spending 10 million to buy a ticket or a possibility is not expensive. If they invest 10 million now, it would be good if they can get half of it back.

In an era of great change, stability is a scarce resource, and in times of uncertainty, certainty is particularly precious.”

"Do you agree?" Chen Yuanguang asked.

Chen Qingzhi shook his head: "Do I need this 10 million?
But after your grandfather passed away, I got older and my thoughts changed. In the past, I would feel that I couldn’t help, but now I am soft-hearted and think that I should help if I can.

So I didn't take their money, but just asked them to send me their children's resumes. I said I would send them to you to take a look, as a way of helping them to apply internally.

Can you give them some convenience if they are qualified?"

Looking at Chen Qingzhi's graying hair, Chen Yuanguang couldn't say no, "Okay, send it to me, I'll tell the HR department that there are no suitable positions in Light Armor Aerospace, so Light Armor Technology and Space can also be used.

It just so happens that Space will build direct sales stores across the country at that time, and it will also need local resources to provide convenience. "

"When will Lin Jia come? When do you plan to have a baby?" Chen Qingzhi was very pleased. This answer was enough to explain to his old friends. Helping for free was quite a nice gesture, so he changed the subject.

Chen Yuanguang did not mention the latter question: "I will hold a press conference with Volkswagen in the next few days, and I will come over after the press conference."

“Volkswagen Group is pleased to have reached a strategic partnership with Space and Light Armor Aerospace. This year, we will work with Light Armor Aerospace to build HBM autonomous driving robots adapted to European road conditions.

In the future, this robot will be produced in Volkswagen factories and sold in Europe, with an estimated price of around 10 euros.

It will be sold together with the new generation of Audi commercial vehicles.”

The chairman of the Volkswagen Group came to Shenhai to hold a press conference. Most of the media in the audience were European media, and the products they talked about were also products sold in Europe.

The reporters from the University of Tokyo in the audience felt a little strange.

After he finished speaking, the rendering on the screen behind him showed an autonomous driving robot with the Volkswagen logo printed on it.

The European journalists in the audience were applauding.

Even if you can't afford it, you can still enjoy it with your eyes, and you will definitely have the opportunity to test drive it.

"In addition to the HBM autonomous driving robot, we will work with Space to build a new energy vehicle super factory in Shenhai. This super factory will carry more than 50% of Volkswagen's new energy vehicle production capacity."
