"Do you want to help me?" Zheng Li asked.
Li Miaomiao suddenly fell silent. She had always had a good impression of Zheng Li.
Zheng Li didn't give her time to think about it: "The people on my team now are all assigned to me by Mr. Lei, because I don't know anyone."
"We need to put up the company's frame as soon as possible, so we can only turn to Lei Jun for help."
"I need someone I trust to help me, and the best person I can think of is you."
"It can be seen from the cram school you held before that you are careful and thoughtful in doing things. What you need is an opportunity."
"I believe that if you come to help me, you will definitely learn more than what you learned at Jiangcheng University."
Li Miaomiao felt that she was overthinking, how could a straight man like Zheng Li need her emotionally.
"If I come to help you, what is my position in the company and how much authority will you give me."
"What is my duty?"
That being the case, she asked the question that concerned her most from her perspective.
Zheng Li: "At the beginning, I will directly give you a leadership position in the company. You may not be familiar with it, and it will be difficult to get started."
"You will join the company as my secretary in the early stage. What you have to do is to report to me the key points of the company's business dynamics."
"In addition, we should straighten out the company's organizational structure and ensure that there are replaceable candidates for each key middle-level position."
"If we let the people sent by Lei Jun to help me leave the company later, you can ensure the smooth operation of the company."
It is true that Zheng Li is a mage, but he has absolutely no experience in how an organization operates and how to run a business well.
The Mage Tower that he controlled before relied on the management core of artificial intelligence, and he did not need to participate in any substantive management work.
The core competitiveness of a mage is his research ability.
Li Miaomiao nodded and said: "It's very reasonable."
"But for me, it's all a bet. First of all, it's a bet on whether the company can survive. Secondly, I will be your secretary at the beginning. It's also a bet on whether you will push me to the management later."
"Even if you make me a vice president or even general manager, whether I can manage a company well is a bet."
Li Miaomiao smiled: "But I am willing to bet."
Zheng Li didn't ask him why he was willing to gamble. He stretched out his hand to shake hands:
“A pleasure to work with.”
“Happy to work with!”
...
After Li Miaomiao and her father Li Xulin had a serious chat all afternoon, Li Xulin helped her go through the suspension of study procedures, so that she could return to continue her studies within two years.
Zheng Li went to Suzhou first, and Li Xulin also used his contacts to help him find a lawyer in Suzhou who would help him check the venture capital agreement.
Lei Junpai's team is already in place, and the office space is rented in a park in Suzhou. It has two floors, with a laboratory on the first floor and an office space on the first floor. 50 million in cash has been transferred to the company account.
The night before leaving Jiangcheng for Suzhou, Li Xulin said earnestly:
"Zheng Li is the most talented student I have ever seen, and Lei Jun's business talent goes without saying."
"The company was established as a partnership between the two of them. I believe the future is bright."
The information about the two people's cooperation in establishing a company can already be seen on Tianyancha.
"For you personally, you have entered the society too early. Zheng Li promised you that he would make you the company's management, but you have a lot to learn and a lot of things you lack."
"Dad hopes that you will not give up studying. Participating in the establishment of a company is practice. We often say that theory should be combined with practice, but practice should be combined with theory."
"There were so many rural entrepreneurs in the 1980s, how many are left now? Why are their businesses almost dead? It's because they only have practice but no theory."
"As the market becomes increasingly standardized, they cannot adapt to the new situation through extensive management."
"The two courses you need most and most urgently are management and organizational behavior."
"I'm a biology professor, but I read a lot of books and have also been an entrepreneurial consultant for some biotech companies."
“Whether it’s a success or a failure, I’ve seen some of it.”
"It's easy to understand that you need to learn management. If you need to manage a company in the future, it's absolutely impossible not to know management."
"Whether you are learning from books or learning from your current general manager, you can learn a lot."
"Another important thing is organizational behavior. From what I know about Zheng Li, Zheng Li is a purely scientific talent. His characteristics as a scientist are much greater than those of an entrepreneur."
"Generally, this kind of person cannot run a business well, but he can make up for his business deficiencies by relying on scientific research capabilities."
"What you need to do is help him take care of business matters."
"Organization and personnel science is a very profound knowledge. Every team is imprinted with its development path when it is founded."
"You need to combine Zheng Li's characteristics and figure out what kind of team you want to build."
"Ali's Ma Yun, Qiandu's Robin Li, and Goose Factory's Ma Huateng. Their different characteristics as founders have led to differences in corporate culture. Qiandu focuses on the engineering culture, while Ahri focuses on the martial arts culture and factional culture. Goose Factory is a social culture, and no company’s corporate culture is the same.”
"These are Internet companies, as are biopharmaceutical companies. Hengrui, WuXi AppTec, and Tigermed. The corporate culture of each company was determined from the beginning by the characteristics of their founders."
"The route determines the people, and the people determine the route."
"You told me very clearly that the top management of the people sent by Lei Jun will definitely be cleaned up later, but what about the remaining people? Which of the remaining people are in line with your philosophy and should be kept, and which ones are in line with the temperament of your team? If you don’t agree, you’ll have to leave.”
"This is important and urgent."
"According to what you told me, Zheng Li has mastered the method of large-scale production of endorphins. If it only requires clinical trials, the fastest time is three months, and the slowest time is half a year."
"That is to say, you will start the second round of venture capital in three months. When the second round of venture capital comes in, you will have to clean up your staff."
"How to think through these issues in three months, to be honest, I find it very difficult for me to do it."
"As my daughter, I don't actually hope that you will have much success. I won't have a career where I am a professor, and my daughter must at least have a similar social status to that of a professor. To use a popular saying nowadays, I hope Children will not fall down the class ladder."
"I never hope so. I just hope you live a happy life."
Li Miaomiao was born in Jiangcheng and went to university in Jiangcheng. This was her first time traveling far away. Her eyes were red when she heard her father's heartfelt words:
"Thank you dad for your understanding and support. You have always been a good father in my heart."
Li Xulin waved his hand and said, "Don't act like a little girl. I'm just going to Suzhou, not that far away. I'll visit you when I have time."
"It would be tragic if the children of many professors in our college do not come back abroad."
"I have always liked Su Shi's poems about washing children:
Everyone hopes to be smart when they raise their children, but I have been deceived by being smart all my life.
I only hope that my child will be foolish and careless, and that he will be able to come to the palace without any trouble. "
"Since you want to go out and try your luck, I have no choice but to support you."
"Failure is nothing. Failure is just a waste of time."
"If you succeed, you must also control your mentality. Your position rests on Zheng Li. Because Zheng Li has no talents, he asked you to help him."
"If Zheng Li lets you go in the future, you must be prepared and have a sense of crisis."
"The plan I will help you with is two-way. If the business is successful, second round of venture capital, third round of venture capital or even listing, then you can take care of your studies and work at the same time next year."
"At least get an undergraduate diploma. Jiangcheng University just wants to graduate. It's not difficult. I will help you with it."
"Then I'll work for a few more years and study for an MBA."
"If the business doesn't succeed, just come back and continue studying."
Li Miaomiao nodded and agreed.
Li Xulin seemed to have remembered something, "I just said that I have something very important that I forgot to tell you."
"When you introduce venture capital later, you must introduce state-owned capital. Be sure to tell Zheng Li about this. This is very important. Remember!"
Li Miaomiao was a little confused: "Didn't you tell me before that none of the domestic investment institutions in the biomedical industry are willing to invest?"
The investment cost in the biopharmaceutical industry is high, and the return is completely unknown. Most domestic private capital is unwilling to invest, let alone state-owned capital.
Most of the capital that will be invested in the domestic biopharmaceutical industry is because they are biopharmaceutical companies themselves. Most of them invest because of the need for technology reserves or talent reserves.
Li Xulin nodded and said: "Generally, domestic investment institutions in the biomedical industry are unwilling to invest."
"But the situation of your Kechuang Biotechnology is different. Its returns are very clear and its products have a wide range of applications. It can be said to be an investment business that will make a profit without losing money."
The company founded by Zheng Li is named Kechuang Biotechnology Co., Ltd. It is scientific and creative, which is in line with the Master's aesthetics.
Li Miaomiao said: "But dad, in my vision, we need to introduce as much international capital as possible, so that through these international capital channels, we can help us open the door to the European and American markets."
"For example, Americen's clinical trials and FDA approval, if Goldman Sachs is introduced, then everything will go smoothly."
Li Xulin nodded: "Yes, your idea is correct and makes sense."
"You need international capital to help you open up the European and American markets. This idea is correct."
“What I’m saying is that you need to bring in state-owned capital, but that doesn’t mean you don’t bring in international capital.”
"You missed a very crucial point. The synthetic pathway for endorphins was discovered by Zheng Li in his laboratory at Jiangcheng University."
"What about the industrial-scale production route of endorphins? Was it also discovered in the laboratory of Jiangcheng University? So does Jiangcheng University have a share in this patent?"
Li Miaomiao said coquettishly: "Dad, Zheng Li obviously discovered this independently, and you know it very well."
Li Xulin waved his hand and said: "I know very well that the paper was published on Nature, and as the second author, I only helped to modify the format of the paper."
"From thesis ideas to experiments to thesis writing, everything was handled by Zheng Li. The artificial synthesis of endorphins was entirely his own achievement."
“The question is, does anyone else think that way?”
"Relying on artificially synthesized endorphins alone, Kechuang Biotech's market value will not be less than 10 billion yuan. If it is true, as Zheng Li said, endorphins are less addictive and have better analgesia than morphine." In terms of sex, the valuation of Kechuang Biotechnology can be compared with Changchun High-tech, which will have a market value of 100 billion."
"You also know the consequences of holding gold to live in the bustling city. You can't protect it with Lei Jun."
"If synthetic endorphins were developed after Zheng Li dropped out of school to start a business, and if there had not been a lot of publicity, then it would be unrealistic for others to take advantage of it."
"But you have such a big flaw. The best way to avoid the situation I mentioned is to introduce state-owned capital."
"Give up some of your interests and ensure that control of the company is in your own hands."
Li Miaomiao felt shuddering after hearing this. Without Li Xulin's reminder, she believed that neither she nor Zheng Li would have ever imagined this.
She looked at her father with admiration: "I didn't expect you to have this ability. I really didn't expect this level."
"How did you come up with the idea?"
Li Xulin smiled and said: "I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice!"
“I’ve seen and heard of this kind of thing over the years.”
"Yenjing University has Founder Group, and Shuimu has Ziguang Group. These are both their school-run companies and listed companies."
"Even Jiangcheng University of Science and Technology has a listed company of Jiangcheng Technology, but Jiangcheng University does not. The school leaders have always wanted the school company to be listed. They had a very unhappy relationship with an old professor because of patent issues. "
"Because the patent was registered by the professor while he was working at Jiangcheng University, they hope to inject the patent as an asset of Jiangcheng University into our school-run enterprises, and then operate and go public around this patent."
"But the professor thinks that his research and development results should be injected into the school-run enterprises for free?"
"The value of artificially synthesizing endorphins far exceeds the value of the previous patent."
“So plan ahead.”
Li Miaomiao asked: "Then wouldn't we fall out with Jiang Da?"
Li Xulin: "Don't take the problem too seriously. If you bring in state-owned capital, someone will naturally help you work for the school leaders."
"Besides, if you take your company public, the school is eager for you to come back and donate money, so how can it possibly fall out with you?"
"If you all have foreign capital, and then domestic public opinion continues to build momentum, you may have a falling out with the school. It is entirely possible to meet in court."
Li Miaomiao nodded: "Understood."
While Li Xulin was confiding in his daughter, Zheng Li was interviewing candidates thousands of miles away in Suzhou.
The team leader sent by Lei Jun is called Cheng Gang. He has a doctorate in biomedicine. He once failed to start his own business. After the failure, he joined Shunwei Capital, which is owned by Lei Jun.
"There is only one requirement for candidates in the laboratory, which is to be obedient. They only need to do well in experiments. They do not need to have the ability to innovate independently." Zheng Li said to Cheng Gang.
