Chapter 51 Career and Relationship

Half a year has passed since the paper was published. During this period, the virus mutations discovered around the world have not deviated from the range predicted by the model. This has given the global scientific community confidence in ending the virus pandemic and has also pushed Chen Yuanguang's reputation in the academic community to a new height.

For example, if the Gates Foundation recruited Chen Yuanguang with an annual salary of one million US dollars, if it were someone else, this news would only be limited to China, and at most it would be reported in a small space abroad and would not cause much response.

Because it was Chen Yuanguang, after the incident had fully fermented in China, mainstream media abroad such as Fox, CNN, and the New York Times all rushed to report it, and by the way, linked the offer from the Gates Foundation with Chen Yuanguang's scientific research results, pushing Chen Yuanguang's public opinion in the minds of the global people to a new height.

It is also well-known abroad.

"Excellent Chinese people, outstanding achievements. It is because of these outstanding scientists that our world has not become so bad." This is a comment under the New York Times' related report on Twitter, which is positive and normal.

"The damn Chinese have taken our jobs. America should restrict the entry of Chinese and people from other countries. America is America for Americans!" This was a very crazy comment under Fox's tweet about the related report.

"Is it the scientific research results of the Chinese? Have they stolen the scientific research results of Americans?" This is the comment under the relevant CNN report on Twitter, a traditional art.

Each media has a different audience, and their reports will also be biased, further screening the audience. The media and the audience complement each other, ultimately forming one information cocoon after another.

"Yuan Guang, congratulations. It's a wonderful movie. Compared with the first one, the plot and presentation are even more unique and wonderful." Lei Jun congratulated.

This is Bona's film viewing base in the Shenhai branch. Jenny's successor hosted the event and invited Lei Jun and Chen Yuanguang to watch the movie "Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur 2" before its release.

Lei Jun was in high spirits. After watching the film, he kept talking about the plot and even insisted on taking Chen Yuanguang to his Xiaomi branch in Shenhai for a visit. In the car, they were still talking about media:
"I have always wanted to invest in film and television companies. As early as 15, I wanted to invest in Guangguang Media. Lao Wang was too wary of me. He first reported the matter to the media, saying that the wolf was coming. Then he and other shareholders of Guangguang Media quickly signed an investor concerted action agreement, making his Guangguang Media like a hedgehog, making it difficult for me to find a breakthrough.

That’s when we gave up. Later we planned to invest in Bona Media, but Tencent got there first, which made me think that I was born to be incompatible with the film and television industry.

Now it seems that it is not the case. After watching Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur 2, I am very confident that this will be another successful work. "Lei Jun talked freely in the car, reciting stories of the past with ease.

Chen Yuanguang admires Lei Jun very much. He is one of the few wealthy Chinese people who started his career without original sin. Apart from being criticized for being a monkey showman, a supply chain integrator, a boasting (marketing) master, and giving himself 99 billion in equity incentives, he has no major black spots.

Even these, compared with the wealthy people who started out early, are no different from white lotuses. They can only be considered flaws, not black spots.

“I have always felt that film and television media companies have an element of gambling involved, and it is difficult to judge the audience’s tastes and whether the work will be successful.

The taste of professional companies can only be used as a reference. From an investment perspective, this is not a good target." Seeing that the other party was so happy, Chen Yuanguang also expressed his opinion.

Having observed Lin Jia's capital operations and been influenced by Lin Jia through his daily interactions with him, Chen Yuanguang can also say a few words on such topics.

Lei Jun smiled and said, "That's right. The film and television industry has always enjoyed low valuations because of their uncertainty.

It’s just that from the perspective of my investment portfolio, we feel that we need film and television investment to complete the entire investment portfolio, so that some business dealings and cooperation can be coordinated and coordinated.

Companies like Tencent have entered the film and television industry, and after they connect these companies, their businesses will be able to form a synergy.

Shunwei Capital and Xiaomi have always made scattered investments in this area, not playing the role of investors, and providing limited support to invested companies. Therefore, investing in the film and television industry is based on strategic planning and overall considerations. Of course, the reason for giving up in the end is also because we do not have such strong demand in this area as Tencent and Ali.

Xiaomi is still more of a hardware company.”

The topics discussed in the car were very diverse, ranging from investment to future virus mutations, popular science on broad-spectrum vaccines, etc. Lei Jun spoke more and Chen Yuanguang spoke less.

After arriving at Xiaomi Shenhai Branch, Lei Jun began to talk about his true intentions: “Junior brother, I don’t think you will do this for others.

You will probably start your own business later, right? "

Chen Yuanguang said: "Yes, I am planning to set up a biotechnology company recently."

This is not a secret. He will be able to find it out after registering. There is no need to keep it secret.

Lei Jun then asked: "Do you need any funds? Just tell me how much you think the company is worth and how many shares you can give me, and I will give them to you directly."

Chen Yuanguang was impressed by Lei Jun's generosity. He thought the boss was really generous. He also knew that this was because he had fully demonstrated his value:

"I don't have any financial problems for now. If I do, I will definitely come to you later."

Lei Jun did not continue the topic, he continued to ask: "Then do you need anyone?
When a company is established and the entire organizational structure is constructed, selecting people is extremely important, as it is related to whether the entire organization is vibrant.

I see that you don't seem to be interested in management, so I'm curious to ask, who is in charge of the company you founded, you or Lin Jia?"

Chen Yuanguang had guessed what the other party was going to say, so he said directly: "I cooperated with Lin Jia in film and television investment because I didn't have the start-up capital and needed to borrow her funds.

But I will hold full control of the business."

His subtext is, I don’t want to sell my shares for the time being, even Lin Jia can’t do it.

Lei Jun asked: "What about the specific management functions?"

Chen Yuanguang said: "In terms of management, I will see what Lin Jia thinks and whether she is willing to help me with this work."

Lei Jun said: "Junior brother, this is it, I am helping you prepare for a rainy day, not cursing your relationship, I think it is best not to mix career and love, no matter how good your relationship is now.

I smelled this smell before, so I came to talk to you this time."
