1991 Starting from the core

"Gene editing is the field that China can catch up with the most in the field of biotechnology. After all, in a sense, we are on the same starting line. And for now, whether it is ZFNs or TALENS, ..." After saying that, Su Yuanshan paused and coughed lightly: "Let me start by saying that I am not even half-experienced in the field of biology. I only spent some time understanding it because of some things recently."

"Professor Su is too polite."

"I'm telling the truth." Su Yuanshan shook his head and smiled: "In recent contacts, I have indeed become interested in biomedicine. However, my time and energy are limited, and it is a bit overwhelming to start over."

"However, scientific methods and thinking are interlinked. Judging from the engineering properties of gene editing, I believe that there must be opportunities for breakthroughs, but we have not discovered it yet, or we are only missing the goal."

Gao Xiaofang nodded in agreement: "I just don't know if CRISPR is such a blinding leaf."

"Haha, who knows? However, if you apply physics to the biological field, I personally feel that starting with the simplest viruses and cells in genetic engineering may be the right way to reveal the mysteries of life. So. So , I support you starting with CRISPR. And internationally, there has been important progress in the field of CRISPR this year. It has been discovered that the spacer sequence between CRISPR repeat sequences does not come from prokaryotes themselves, but from plasmids or plasmids. viruses, and came to the hypothesis that CRISPR is an adaptive immune system. And not long ago, a research group discovered Cas9 in Streptococcus thermophilus and predicted that this huge protein has nuclease activity..."

Su Yuanshan squinted his eyes, thinking of the series of developments that had occurred this year, and glanced at Gao Xiaofang with some emotion.

Why doesn’t this person have an image of himself? Or... Gao Xiaofang missed the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology? Or has it changed direction?

"Now it's up to us who can verify these hypotheses and conjectures, and then obtain new results from the verification." Su Yuanshan looked at Gao Xiaofang and smiled slightly: "My intuition tells me that this is very interesting."

Gao Xiaofang felt hot all over after hearing this.

Although he didn't understand how miraculous Su Yuanshan's "intuition" was spread in Yuanxin, Su Yuanshan was a Nobel Prize scholar and had knowledge of the cutting-edge of biotechnology - for a boss of this level, you let him It is definitely not possible to do detailed experimental work and engage in academic Q\u0026A across disciplines, but scientific literacy does not distinguish between majors. He fully believes that Su Yuanshan can give advice from a high position.

"It's right here!" Gao Xiaofang stopped on the third floor of a building: "I don't want to look anymore. I want to start the team now."

"Okay, if you have any needs, just call me directly. Also, don't worry about other issues, such as offers, such as professional title levels, I will help you get it done."

Su Yuanshan stood still, looked at Professor Wei who was walking towards him quickly, and smiled slightly: "Director Wei is fine too. If you need anything, don't be afraid of trouble."

"good."

"I have only one request."

Su Yuanshan looked at Gao Xiaofang again, who was slightly startled.

"In fact, this is also the active pursuit of our country's entire scientific research system, which is... to be down-to-earth. This is not a slogan, but truly down-to-earth."

That night, Su Yuanshan had a meal with a group of scientists from the Institute of Biology. During the dinner, everyone did not talk too much about professional matters, but intentionally or unintentionally talked about the recent trends in the domestic scientific research circle.

It was only then that Gao Xiaofang understood the meaning of Su Yuanshan's words to him in the afternoon.

This time, it seems that the country is determined to go to war in the field of scientific research to stop certain trends.

…

The next day, Su Yuanshan went to HK again.

When he went to HK, he did not go to Dingxin Media. After all, An Siying had officially taken office. She brought the power of an airborne official and was assisted by Yang Yingying. In addition, Su Yuanshan and Chen Jing were standing behind her... It's not nice to say it. That's right. Anyone with any brains will know that this woman represents the entire will of the behemoth Yuanxin. Not to mention Dingxin's senior executives, even Zhang Jianjun, the founder, chairman and CEO of Dingxin, will be affected by this will. Crushed to pieces.

Su Yuanshan went to ATV.

Whether it is according to Yang Yingying's words, whether it is usual rumors, or whether it is according to An Siying's "pursuit" theory, under Wan Yongliang's leadership, ATV's situation is much better.

Of course, it may also be because ATV is more of a TV station than cultivating artists.

…

"Lao Wan, do you feel guilty?"

Sitting on the big sofa in Wan Yongliang's office, Su Yuanshan smiled and made meaningful jokes at Wan Yongliang - this kind of joke can only be played between colleagues like Lao Wan who have been together for more than ten years. Open it.

Wan Yongliang laughed loudly: "I brought my wife here two years ago. What do I feel guilty about?"

"Well, it seems that my sister-in-law is in charge."

"Ahem...just don't talk about this."

"Well, let's talk about Dingxin... Lao Wan, you are still responsible for what happened in Dingxin." Su Yuanshan shook his head slightly and sighed: "I don't believe you don't know what's going on over there."

Wan Yongliang looked embarrassed and sighed: "Actually, I only recently learned that they stepped too far... But you also know that Lao Zhang's status is a bit special. Even if I want to mention it, I can only mention it on the executive board of directors. Bring it up publicly instead of snitching on you..."

Su Yuanshan thought for a while and agreed with this reason.

After all, everyone is a big boss, and he, Su Yuanshan, is not the kind of person who can act alone - for example, this time, even if he was furious, he still jointly discussed with Chen Jing and Duan Yongping, and obtained unanimous consent from everyone, and Zhang Jianjun was moved only after proper candidates were arranged.

"Learning from the past." Su Yuanshan lightly tapped the table: "Actually, it's not obvious enough now, because now, for an artist to rise to the top, it depends more on the opportunity given by the company, which means that you still need to have at least some ability."

"But with the development and popularization of the Internet in the future, the weight of traffic will become larger and larger. Even through packaging, a media company can launch a real vase...even this vase does not require any skills. and achievement.”

Wan Yongliang was slightly surprised when he heard this: "Is it so exaggerated?"

"It's such an exaggeration... the logic behind it... I won't be able to explain it to you after a while. You can go back and find some books to read by yourself."

Wan Yongliang: "..."

"So, we must stop this evil trend from the beginning. Otherwise, we will regret it in the future - you know better than anyone how rich the Internet resources are in our hands. If we take the wrong path, then he This mother is the evil boss..."

Su Yuanshan's description amused Wan Yongliang. He smiled and shook his head: "Don't tell me, I never thought that Yuan Xin would go astray."

"That's because we are taking the right path." After Su Yuanshan said this, he felt that his words were quite pretentious. He coughed and said with a smile: "Don't talk about this, let's go and take a look at ivideo. ivideo is the future We must seize the key platform for information dissemination.”

…

After inspecting ivideo with Wan Yongliang, Su Yuanshan went to EM and the Internet Center to inspect the progress of the Internet Center's new instant messaging software. The name of the project team was finally determined, WeChat in Chinese and WeChat in English. .

Of course, Su Yuan did not forget to take a look at the silicon core.

After several years of dormancy, Silicon Chip has quietly established a foothold in the desktop graphics card market. They focus on cost-effectiveness and Internet cafe-specific configurations. They are not well-known in the DIY market, but they have exploded with the growth of online games and Internet cafes. In this period, their shipment volume was astonishingly large.

In addition, the heterogeneous computing route that Silicon Core set at the beginning is gradually showing its edge. With the rise of heterogeneous supercomputing, silicon core, which was deployed early, almost directly won more than half of the world's heterogeneous supercomputing orders.

Therefore, although it may not look great and is not very famous, in fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that Silicon Core has made a lot of money.

If a technology company has money, it will naturally have more confidence.

Silicon Core is currently developing a new Mars architecture, which is said to have more computing units and wider bandwidth, which will directly bring revolutionary improvements to the performance of the graphics card market.

Su Yuanshan had always only believed half of the slogans in this kind of design... But the current development of silicon core was healthy and stable, so he didn't have to worry at all, so he reluctantly believed it once.

Subsequently, Su Yuanshan flew directly from HK to the provincial capital.

…

In early October, after celebrating the National Day, Yuanxin released the brand new Vidoo8s mobile phone, which also faced a head-on challenge from the iPhone 2.

Faced with an iPhone that was not inferior to its own in all aspects of experience, Yuanxin felt great pressure from top to bottom. What's even more terrible is that the modified version of the system based on YOS has power management problems.

This made Duan Yongping furious and doubled his pressure, so much so that he almost moved his camp bed to the VOS team's office to stay...

The boss was furious, and the teams below naturally had to take action. So the VOS team worked overtime one after another. While fixing the bugs, they also made several optimizations in just one week. Only then did they resolve the crisis in public opinion - the overwhelming reviews at the time. They were all complaining that Vidoo mobile phones were becoming less and less enterprising, which made Duan Yongping livid every day.

Compared to Duan Yongping, Su Yuanshan was very calm.

Because he knows that the competition between iPhone and Vidoo is, in essence, a competition between the IOS and YOS ecosystems. And now... Even though Vidoo8s has encountered a strong competitor in the high-end segment, the iPhone 2, and its growth has not met expectations, in terms of the entire mobile phone market, IOS's share is still pitifully small.

——In the past two years, all mobile phone operating systems, including Symbian, have been wiped out by Eyuanxin, Xinghai, Sony, Zhongxin, Giant, Samsung, Lucent, etc.

Even Microsoft is no exception.

It can be said that today's Yos has occupied Microsoft's share of the desktop PC market and has become the undisputed number one operating system in the mobile era.

With this dominant position...what kind of bike do you need?

You must know that although YOS is similar to Android in history, although both are open source licensed, the essential difference is that Yuanxin has united all mobile phone manufacturers through YOS's authorization and long-term efforts in the app store, allowing YOS to unite all mobile phone manufacturers. They all use a unified app store.

Yuanxin has also set up a pumping mechanism through the app store.

It’s hard to see how terrible pumping is now, because no one can imagine what level of consumption on handheld mobile devices will reach in the next ten years.

But Su Yuanshan knew...

He even knew that Apple accounted for half of iPhone revenue just by pumping money.

As for Apple's share, it is simply impossible to look at it in front of today's YOS.

…

"Having said that, you still have to pursue something."

In Su Yuanshan's office, Duan Yongping crossed his feet, took a sip of tea, and said cheerfully: "When we first launched the smart Vidoo4, our gross profit was ridiculously low. Now we are seeing the gross profit come up. But the increase is not as expected... …That’s money.”

Su Yuanshan laughed loudly: "Yes, yes, it is the nature of businessmen like us to chase sales."

He knew that Duan Yongping had been mainly responsible for the mobile phone department, so it was understandable that the reaction would be violent this time. But fortunately, the trouble was solved now, and Duan Yongping had time to come over and talk to him about the upcoming discussions of the executive board.

It’s already November, and there are still two months until the end of the fiscal year, which means it’s time to turn the page on this year.

This year, the strategy implemented by Yuanxin is mainly smart home appliances, which Zhou Xiaohui is responsible for.

Now it seems that it is still a bit reluctant to launch home appliances that meet Yuanxin's style in one year.

But this year and the end of this year, we cannot stop making arrangements and plans for next year just because the home appliance business is advancing slowly.

After the two chatted for a while, Duan Yongping put down his tea cup and said seriously: "Do you have any good ideas for next year?"

"Not yet." Su Yuanshan shook his head and smiled: "Speaking of it, as a technology company, we have covered a wide range of fields. The home appliance business is the last piece of our current puzzle. And it seems that it is also a long-term problem. The hard work of the puzzle cannot be solved overnight.”

Duan Yongping didn't know whether Su Yuanshan was explaining for Zhou Xiaohui or whether he really thought so, but Duan Yongping had the same idea himself. After all...the older the industry, the more cautious you have to be if you want to get involved midway.

So he smiled and nodded: "So my idea is that we should slow down next year. Pause expansion, consolidate the current industries, and then concentrate on our advantages to focus on supporting certain industries that are not developing so well. "

As he spoke, Duan Yongping paused and said with emotion: "A while ago, I went to attend the National Entrepreneurs Conference. After I came down, I listened to other people's chats and found out that we have been going smoothly in the past ten years... …Other companies will always have problems with a few products and directions. But we never have.”
