Chapter 858 Oasis Creatures
In October, CCTV's "Super Project" program reported Yuan Longping's "seawater rice". The two projects invested by Fanxing Fund in the early stage finally came to fruition. This was originally a good thing that could be widely publicized, but Qu Li finally chose to keep quiet.
Since this year, photovoltaic ranches, Ant Forest, quantum communication/computers, and seawater rice have been heard all over the country. This time it is just a "final conclusion". The government has given the honor to Yuan Lao's team.
Qu Li's Fanxing Fund showed a corner behind its mysterious veil. In which year did Fanxing Fund announce its investment in quantum communication and seawater rice projects? It has been so many years, and it has been criticized so many times in the middle. Others thought he gave up, but now the results have come out.
Qu Li's long-termism is not just talk, but he has been practicing his ideas. Many self-media commented on it online, speculating that Fanxing Fund has something else that has not been exposed. Fanxing Research Institute has established a large model team. I don't know if this counts.
In June this year, Google released the milestone Transformer in the field of natural language processing: a sequence model based on the attention mechanism. Later, the infrastructure of all language models also paved the way for GPT. After some discussion, Qu Li chose to build a general artificial intelligence model based on Transformer.
This is basically consistent with his idea of doing autonomous driving, that is, to improve algorithms and computing power. What is not mentioned is big data. Both artificial intelligence and autonomous driving cannot be separated from a large amount of data feeding. This time, Qu Li left the Star Research Institute in Shanghai, otherwise his layout in the three major metropolitan areas in China would be incomplete. There are always some people who don't want to go to Beijing and Tianjin, and go south to Yangcheng. For the sake of talent, they have to increase investment in Shanghai.
Then there is biomedicine, which Qu Li doesn't understand at all. He formed a venture capital team, invested in the CXO track, and the domestic innovative drug industry, such as BeiGene, and only after accumulating experience did he start to operate his biomedicine company, named Oasis Bio, and you can tell that it is related to Oasis Ecology.
Oasis Bio mainly conducts market research on mRNA, obtains patent authorization, and hires Drew Weissman, an expert in this field, as a company consultant. He is a later Nobel Prize winner. His partner Carrico was hired as senior vice president by BioNTech, and the company later developed the new crown vaccine.
Oasis Ecology is no different from BioNTech, Moderna and other companies. If we must describe it in words, it is probably a company dedicated to pioneering the development of new therapeutic drugs for cancer, infectious diseases and other serious diseases, and exploring a large number of computing-based R&D and therapeutic drug platforms.
This involves cloud computing, big data and artificial intelligence, which can fit into Time Cloud, a composite industry of computers and biomedicine. Qu Li has obvious advantages, but he is just an "investor" and does not have much control over the progress of research and development. Moderna released their product this year, the first human bivalent vaccine, which applies a combination vaccine of pneumonia virus and parainfluenza virus to humans.
So when Qu Li was in Xingsha, he came to this company to see if they had built a complete corporate organizational structure and if there was anything he needed to help. Whether it was a supercomputer or cloud computing power, he could handle it, even if it was an excellent programmer or a team of mathematicians, he could handle it.
As for whether Oasis Bio's R&D team was excellent, he had no way to judge, but in order to make money, in addition to mRNA, it also chose other tracks, such as generic drugs, but the pitfalls in the pharmaceutical industry were too big, and even if the generic drugs were made, they might not be able to be sold. But if Qu Li, who has a lot of capital, doesn't dare to do it, who else dares to do it? Anyway, just set up the stall first, and you can find a way to sell medicine with the second and third shareholders?
Qu Li never rushes to do things, doesn't like to put pressure on himself, and doesn't like to put pressure on others, so the head of Oasis Biotechnology is still very satisfied with Qu Li as a boss. No wonder the venture capital circle in the United States has begun to talk about "empowerment". Entrepreneurs "empower" the team and can create endless "vitality". As for the cooperation with Central South University, that is not within his consideration.
Chen Danlin finally came to Xingsha, called Qu Li out from his work, and then went back to her parents' home together. Their children are raised by Chen Danlin's parents. Qu Li feels that his foundation is in China. First of all, he must be familiar with the domestic social background and have a sense of cultural identity, and then he can go abroad to broaden his horizons.
Being influenced by traditional Chinese myths since childhood, knowing stories such as Kuafu chasing the sun, Houyi shooting the sun, Dayu controlling the flood, Yugong moving the mountains, and Jingwei filling the sea, and then reading Western myths, it is clear that their people need to be saved by "God", while the Chinese rely on "ancestors" and "themselves" to work hard.
Those second-generation entrepreneurs who went abroad to study since childhood and came back to take over the business basically have no success. Let's not talk about Miss Zong of Wahaha. Just look at Ms. Wei of Great Wall Motors and you will understand that some second-generation entrepreneurs have too much understanding of Chinese people, or the arrogance that comes from nowhere is too serious.
Who can accept "forgiveness green"? Most men are not happy about it. Maybe only maverick women will like it. It's not that cars with green paint are bad, but as long as they know the name of "forgiveness green", they will stay away from this car, and even feel disgusted with this brand.
Compared with Ms. Wei of Forgiveness Green, the self-esteem of Mr. Sicong, who looks down on graduates from Tsinghua and Peking University and lost five small goals, seems to be wise and foolish.
So Qu Li wanted his child to grow up as an "ordinary person" and cultivate his will from an early age instead of hobbies and Olympiad mathematics. Everything acquired can be cultivated through learning, but a person's will and character are difficult to change once they are formed.
Good habits are a start. Keeping a certain distance from electronic products, getting close to outdoor sports, and maintaining physical exercise may be the best way to strengthen will.
When they came to Chengdu, Qu Li took care of the children at home, while Chen Danlin showed up outside, interacted with people, and made many "good sisters" in Sichuan Province.
I don't know how Chen Danlin operated. The relevant departments took the initiative to invite Qu Li and the two to a banquet. They talked about children's education, scientific and technological progress, and industrial investment. Anyway, it was just bragging. Chengdu was okay. Officials might not be easily fooled. Some city leaders still believed in "water turning into oil" in the 21st century. No, it was a water hydrogen car that could run with water.
Chengdu officials were not that bad. They had seen too many high-tech projects, from semiconductor design, chips to liquid crystal panels. There were many universities and colleges, and there was no shortage of popular science talents. But those with high professional accomplishments cannot understand the young Qu Li. How can this liberal arts student establish an excellent technology company and lead the domestic technological progress?
There are too many things to talk about Time Gathering, Honor, Future Geometry and Galaxy Power. It is impossible to finish talking about them in one meal. Chen Danlin mentioned the huge investment in the "Virtual Reality Sphere Building" without leaving a trace (end of this chapter)
