Chapter 48 YuanKuang and Light
Tencent’s public opinion department naturally also monitored this matter. When Jenny read the email from her subordinate, she thought, “Is this your way?
This method is not very good. "

Lei Jun has a large amount of traffic and a positive image, but the problem is that he has many opponents who cannot stand Xiaomi's attempt to link Xiaomi with him personally. Many netizens have tried to do this, from belittling Xiaomi to belittling him personally.

Lei Jun cannot turn this situation around by relying on his own credibility.

“What benefits did they give to Lei Jun? Could it be that Lei Jun took over Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur 2 from them?” Jenny was puzzled.

Actually, it’s nothing. Lei Jun gave a total of 2.5 million to Chen Yuanguang and Lin Jia in the form of guarantees, loans and investments.

Because there is an investment component, the returns are difficult to estimate.

Lei Jun's Weibo post was like a signal. That evening, the Gates Foundation issued a statement, which roughly meant that their global health project had indeed invited Chen Yuanguang and offered the position of chief scientist with an annual salary of 500 million US dollars.

Bill Gates then retweeted the tweet and commented: "You were commenting on YuanKuang Chen before. Yesterday he called me and asked me to explain for him. Then I learned that he was widely questioned in the Chinese public opinion field. I didn't know that YuanKuang Chen was Light Chen. I personally approved Light Chen's position and salary. His outstanding contributions in the fields of chemistry and biology are obvious to all. The Gates Foundation needs such talents. I invited him again on the phone yesterday. Now we are still waiting for his reply."

Lei Jun’s words cannot put the final nail in the coffin of this matter, but Gates can, and the official response from the Gates Foundation can.

The situation was reversed in an instant, and all the abusive and questioning comments under Chen Yuanguang's Weibo were drowned out by the comments of Lezi people.

"?"

"say!"

"Is it still funny?"

“Just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean others can’t do it”

Then some comments supporting him were pushed to the front, and the number of comments exceeded 200,000, which was simply exaggerated.

"Fuck the Light God!"

"Yuanshen, activate!"

"This is too good to be true. Why is the tuition for the same student chemical materials only 3,500 yuan in China?"

"Five million dollars, annual salary, I don't recognize these words anymore."

"This should be the highest salary ever, and it's cash without options."

Lei Jun also posted a Weibo post: "I'm not kidding you, I saw the invitation letter signed by Mr. Gates to my junior, and I even took a photo of it."

In the picture posted by Lei Jun on Weibo, he cleverly used the camera logo of Xiaomi mobile phone.

Top marketing masters will not miss any marketable details in life.

Lei Jun just took advantage of the popularity and Tencent Pictures was embarrassed, "Light, YuanKuang, we were badly screwed by the netizens' translation!" Guo Wei was too tired to complain.

After the responses from the Gates Foundation and Gates himself were moved back to China, he immediately slipped out to check out the responses from Chinese netizens under the previous Twitter. Then he found that these netizens used the screenshot translation function on their mobile phones to directly translate Yuan Guangying into YuanKuang.

Whether it is Chen Yuanguang’s Google Scholar homepage or his published papers, his name is Light Chen.

He then realized that if he put YuanKuang on there, the Gates Foundation would never have heard of him. He was screwed.

It was past nine in the evening, and everyone in the conference room of Tencent Pictures was silent. Guo Wei was flipping through his phone, watching the silent netizens scolding the netizens who had previously questioned Chen Yuanguang, and watching the netizens going to Zhifei Biological's Weibo to post clown comments.

He was thinking, maybe we are also clowns. Chen Yuanguang had already made an offer but didn’t take it up. I guess in his mind, we are also clowns for selling Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur 2 to him.

Jenny said weakly: “It’s all my fault, I didn’t think about this, I will go and explain to Mark.

David, have the legal department check the contract we signed with Lin Jia's film and television investment company to see if there are any loopholes. Even if there are any points that can be exploited, please write them down."

Jenny knew that she had completely lost this round. The public opinion had completely reversed, Chen Yuanguang's reputation had skyrocketed, and Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur 2 was about to be released. Everything indicated that the box office of Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur would only be higher than the first one.

Because it is directed by Guo Fan and written by Chen Yuanguang, there is no problem with the quality, and the marketing has brought a lot of traffic. Anyone can make it a hit product.

Not to mention, now the entire investment belongs to Chen Yuanguang and Lin Jia, and Chen Yuanguang will only promote it more vigorously.

Jenny had begun to doubt her life. She couldn't even beat a student who hadn't even graduated yet. "No, it's not my problem. Who would have thought that the Gates Foundation would really give him an annual salary of 500 million US dollars? I have never heard of this. It is a completely unconventional event."

"Jenny, please change your job. I know it's not your fault, but I am not the only one who has the final say. Selling this series for 2.8 million yuan is probably the most unprofitable deal Tencent Pictures has ever made.

I can't protect you." Mark's cold remarks made Jenny feel cold in her heart. Transferring is worse than being fired. Transferring is a disguised form of dismissal.

Sometimes facts are the best weapons. The facts are before our eyes. No matter how much netizens and big Vs do not believe it, they have to admit that Chen Yuanguang’s offer of an annual salary of 5 million is real.

The sudden reversal of public opinion turned many people into clowns and gave the media endless topics to talk about.

"Five million dollars a year is not the highest salary in China, nor is it the highest salary a Chinese person has ever received. There are many people in the sports industry and senior executives who earn more than this, but this is definitely the highest salary for a graduate who has received a campus recruitment offer in China."

"I used to envy the salary level of the space machine, but now I don't envy it anymore. With the example of the God of Light, I believe that the biochemical and environmental materials will have a way out."

"That's fine, Yuanshen has only seen this one case in all these years, with offers of 500,000 or 600,000 yuan a year for computer science every year."

"Will Yuanshen join the Gates Foundation? I would definitely be tempted if I were you."

"I think so. Bill Gates is so sincere. This treatment is top-notch."

After everything was settled, Chen Yuanguang prepared to use the contract to apply for a loan, then start a company and build a laboratory in Caohejing.

Lin Jiaze was waiting for the movie to be released. She felt that she was still too inexperienced and had no chance of fighting back in negotiations against an old fox like Lei Jun.

They approached Lei Jun to ask for a guarantee, and asked him to help them guarantee a sum of 2.5 million yuan. There was an upper limit on the amount of money that could be earned from the guarantee, and the maximum was 1.5% per year, which was 420 million yuan.

Xiaomi Finance, owned by Lei Jun, has a guarantee license, which is equivalent to Lin Jia and others going to the bank to borrow money, and then Xiaomi Finance acts as a guarantee. With Xiaomi Finance as a guarantee, during the virus epidemic, the state required banks to loosen their money supply, and the bank interest rate capped at 4%.

The total funding cost, including guarantee and loan interest rate, can be controlled at around 6%.
