Chapter 55 Set sail
"Mr. Sun, I am generally satisfied with you. Do you have any questions about the company?" Chen Yuanguang, who was dressed in formal attire and looked a little childish, asked at one end of the conference room.
Before Sun Renjie came, he was very nervous and full of fantasies and expectations about the future. But the moment he arrived, he suddenly calmed down.
While waiting, he looked around and found that the entire office area was empty, with nothing but workstations. There were only one male and one female interviewer. The man looked familiar. It was indeed Chen Yuanguang, who had dominated the Weibo hot search list for more than a week. In addition, Chen Yuanguang's research field overlapped a lot with his work, so Sun Renjie was very familiar with this face.
In addition, there was a woman who was also wearing a black suit and had a rare gentle temperament in her young appearance, which made Sun Renjie have some speculations.
During the interview just now, the sharpness of the woman's questions made Sun Renjie's guess go wrong. It seemed that the other party was not a vase role. Chen Yuanguang's questions immediately made him perk up again:
"Mr. Chen, we need long-term cooperation in the future, so I want to hear about the company's development plan, its main business, which link of CXO it is in, or whether it plans to develop new drugs on its own."
CXO, or pharmaceutical outsourcing, is mainly divided into three links, CRO, CMO and CSO, which respectively mean pharmaceutical research and development, pharmaceutical production and pharmaceutical sales. WuXi AppTec is engaged in pharmaceutical research and development and pharmaceutical production in pharmaceutical outsourcing, that is, CRO and CMO.
Chen Yuanguang was very frank: "I think you will come to our interview and have some understanding of my research field. We will try to cooperate with pharmaceutical companies and do some vaccine-related R&D outsourcing to maintain our cash flow.
But our main business in the early stage will be human hibernation technology.”
Sun Renjie asked back: "Mr. Chen, is this the human hibernation technology in science fiction as I understand it?"
Chen Yuanguang said: "It's about the same as that one."
Sun Renjie applauded: "That is indeed a direction with great development potential. I now have higher expectations for the company's future."
Lin Jia was a little confused and subconsciously glanced at Chen Yuanguang, his eyes seemed to say: Is there anything wrong with him?
Chen Yuanguang shook his head slightly, indicating that he would talk about it later, and then continued to say to Sun Renjie: "Do you have any other questions?"
Sun Renjie shook his head: "I just want to know about this matter, no other questions, Mr. Chen, I am very much looking forward to joining Light Armor Technology."
After Sun Renjie finished the interview, Lin Jia took out his notebook and asked, "Yuan Guang, Chen Ruidong, Li Minglai and Sun Renjie, we have met these three today. Are there any you are satisfied with, or should we ask Korn Ferry to find a few more to interview?"
Chen Yuanguang thought for a moment and asked, "Who do you think is more suitable?"
Lin Jia said: "Among them, all of them came for you and are interested in changing jobs. From the perspective of ability, Sun Renjie should be the one who best meets our current needs. He mainly does clinical testing and has a lot of overseas pharmaceutical cooperation and clinical testing background.
In terms of management ability, there were only about ten people in the early days. Judging from his resume, he has been in a management position in WuXi AppTec for eight years, and the number of internal managers must be more than this.
You are in charge of the overall direction, but Chen Ruidong and Li Minglai do not have the capabilities you need. You are not planning to invest too much energy in the pharmaceutical outsourcing business, so I think Sun Renjie is more suitable.
But is he not normal?" Lin Jia lowered his voice when he said the last sentence, feeling a little guilty.
Chen Yuanguang asked back: "What's the problem? You have to be full of doubts about our main business to have no problem, right?"
Lin Jia murmured, "That's not what I meant, but when a normal person hears about human hibernation, shouldn't they subconsciously ask, "Can our startup company do that?"
Chen Yuanguang said, "Then it can't be my charm that won him over?" Lin Jia said, "The problem is that this concerns my own future. Who would be so easily won over? You are not that charming."
Chen Yuanguang said: "If both of us think that finding Sun Renjie is feasible, then we will tentatively decide on him. When we find him for further discussion, we can ask him about it indirectly."
When they talked about this topic with Sun Renjie later, Sun Renjie answered very frankly: "Because I have been working in medical research and development for more than ten years, I know very well how powerful my boss's research results are. In addition to the paper on the virus prediction model, I have also read other papers of my boss.
My boss is much ahead of me in the field of scientific research. I will never doubt his vision and level of scientific research. Since he has chosen this direction, it means that he believes that this direction can produce results. With such a promising direction, many people are willing to pay for related technologies. Of course, I am full of hope for the company's prospects."
This answer made Lin Jia feel ashamed. She didn't trust Chen Yuanguang as much as a stranger.
After recruiting Sun Renjie, Guangjia Technology's operations began to get on track. As a veteran in the biopharmaceutical industry, Sun Renjie has certain personal connections. He found some acquaintances on his own, and the two key positions of finance and legal affairs were recommended by headhunters. In addition, some positions were posted on recruitment websites.
With the best possible remuneration and Chen Yuanguang's reputation as an endorsement, fifteen people were soon gathered together and Guangjia Technology officially set sail.
"How much money do you have left?" That day, to celebrate the arrival of all employees, Guangjia Technology organized the first dinner for all employees. On the way home in the evening, Lin Jia asked while driving.
Chen Yuanguang said: "About 50 million, I feel a lot of pressure, it's not enough to spend in a year.
I need to produce results as soon as possible and break even first.”
Lin Jia was puzzled: "Fifty million? The current staffing and total investment of Light Armor Technology are not much different from the 7.5 million per month we estimated at the time. Fifty million is enough to burn for more than a year."
Chen Yuanguang said: “When you calculated the costs before, you did not include the costs of clinical trials.
Human hibernation experiments may cause harm to the human body, even irreversible damage, and the cost of such human experiments is very high.
Even if we outsource the experiments to Indian technology companies, the cost is still very high.”
Lin Jia smiled and said, "What? So you are worried about this, I think you don't need to worry at all.
If you can enter the clinical trial stage, there will be many people willing to invest in you.
Do we still need to worry about not having enough money to conduct clinical trials?"
She paused for a moment and then said, "Besides, the box office of Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur has now exceeded NT$3 billion, and it is expected to end up around NT$4 billion. The profit you can get from this alone is probably around NT$800 million, and that's before tax. You may need to discuss the exact amount after tax with the finance department, and it just so happens that the company has just hired a finance department."
Chen Yuanguang said seriously: "Human hibernation technology will enter the clinical stage much faster than expected. I estimate that it will enter the clinical stage by the middle of this year."
