Shenhao: Gold Medal Investor

After a while, Li Li came with Zou Xian.

Because Zou Xian is a researcher at the Academy of Sciences, Gao Si has always respected scientists very much and calls her "teacher".

"Teacher Zou, I didn't know you weren't in Magic City before, so I was rude. Thank you for coming all the way here."

Zou Xian joked: "How can it be that Mr. Gao is so concerned about my affairs and even invited Professor Fan to come with me? As long as I am still on earth, I must be here at my call."

Seeing that the two people were talking to each other, Li Li said: "Oh, we are all from the same family. It's so awkward to call Mr. Zou and Mr. Gao. Just call me Gao Si and Sister Xian."

Gao Si smiled and said: "Okay, then I won't be polite. I will call you Sister Xian from now on. I have read your research and it is very impressive. I am already in admiration."

Zou Xian smiled and said: "How can you say it is so powerful? Our research in the Institute of Chemistry relies half on hard work and half on luck. Our country is a big country in chemical research, but many new materials and new processes can finally be produced.

Made with sweat."

Gao Si knew that Zou Xian was telling the truth, so he asked: "Carbon neutrality is a big trend now. Your new material that can absorb carbon dioxide is very useful. I want to ask you, if you get the funds

Now, do you plan to treat this material as a lifelong career? Or will you continue to engage in other research?"

Zou Xian thought for a while and replied: "I am not good at application and promotion, but I also don't like pure theoretical research. This is also the reason why I chose chemistry. Chemistry research pays more attention to application value. I think I should be able to do it.

Let’s do other research.”

"Has Sister Xian ever been exposed to material prediction before?" Gao Si asked.

"I've had it. Like us who are engaged in materials science, who doesn't want to know the physical and chemical properties of a substance in advance before synthesizing it. However, the accuracy of prediction is too low. Inorganic substances are very biased, and when it comes to organic substances, it is even worse.

.”

It was the first time that Gao Si and Zou Xian met, but they felt like they felt like old friends at first sight.

Soon the conversation came to Li Li's knowledge blind spot, and she lost interest in continuing to listen.

Li Li said: "You guys chat, I'll prepare dinner for everyone."

Gao Si immediately stopped him.

He said: "Stop being busy, take a rest. Let Sister Mengge help make arrangements."

He called Zhao Mengge and asked her to help arrange dinner and come over to attend the party. He felt that Zhao Mengge should be present for such an important event today.

It was originally a family dinner for the future son-in-law to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Due to the investment incident of Optimistic Automobile, Shao Tianxiang was involved;

Due to the national bounty issue, Xu Rongcai and Wu Jun were involved;

Due to the matter of supercomputing resources, Lin Yuan was involved;

Li Li and Zou Xian were involved due to matters related to scientific research funding agencies;

Due to various issues regarding changes in equity relationships, Zhao Mengge was involved.

The size of the party increased from 4 people to 11 people, turning it into a big party.

…

In less than 20 minutes, Zhao Mengge arrived.

Seeing Zhao Mengge coming, Gao Si asked: "Sister, why are you here so early? Where is our dinner?"

Zhao Mengge smiled and scolded: "You bastard knows how to eat. You don't even ask me if I'm tired. Can you help me get a glass of water? Don't worry, I've arranged everything. I don't know how long the meeting will last. I arranged a buffet.

It will be delivered in a moment.”

"Sister, are you tired? Sit down and drink water." Gao Si immediately repeated Zhao Mengge's words.

Zhao Mengge rolled her eyes at Gao Si and went to say hello to everyone. Although she was a partner of Gao Si Venture Capital, she actually worked as a general manager. She personally participated in every equity change and communicated with everyone

They are all familiar.

After saying hello, Zhao Mengge saw Zou Xian and smiled: "Gao Si, why don't you introduce me to a new friend? Which project are you working on?"

Gao Si said: "Oh, I almost forgot. This is Zhao Mengge, my investment partner. This is Zou Xian, a scientist at the Institute of Chemistry, Academy of Sciences. She is here today to discuss how to establish a 'scientific research funding agency'

'of."

Zhao Mengge stretched out his hand to shake Zou Xian's hand and said with a smile: "We, the senior executives, have too much money and can't even spend it all. We have long been eyeing your scientific research. The sponsoring organization only spends

If you don’t make money, it’s really suitable for Mr. Gao.”

Zou Xian felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. She wasn't sure whether Zhao Mengge's words were true or ironic.

Gao Si noticed Zou Xian's unnatural expression and explained: "Sister Mengge is joking. What we are doing is commercial investment, and we must consider commercial returns. However, we don't understand the scientific research circle, nor

I don’t know what kind of reward you scientists can accept.”

Zou Xian said: "I have never thought about this before. Do you have any options for me to choose?"

Gao Sidao: "The simplest model, as I have just said, is to directly recruit scientists and combine research with application. To put it bluntly, it is to turn scientists into entrepreneurs."

Zou Xian raised her eyebrows and asked, "What about other options?"

Gao Sidao: "The second model is that we set up a project and then disclose our research, including the funding of each research. If you are interested, you can join in for a period of time. The model is a bit similar to a study tour. During the research period, you

You can enjoy a certain amount of subsidies and publish papers."

Zou Xian asked: "If a patent is generated from the research results, how should it be distributed?"

"The patent will be jointly held by us and the scientists."

Zou Xian nodded to express her understanding. Then she asked: "What if there is no suitable project for me?"

"Then let's go to the third mode. That is to directly launch a new scientific research project. You can apply by yourself, or you can bring a team to apply together. The papers produced during the research process will still belong to the researchers, but the patent will belong entirely to us.

All participating scientists only receive scientific research subsidies."

"To put it bluntly, you pay scientists to satisfy their curiosity? But the value generated will not be shared with the scientists?" Zou Xian asked.

"You understand correctly. This is the underlying logic of venture capital. The more risks you take, the more benefits you enjoy. Do you think the three models I set can attract scientists or scientific research projects? Yes.

What potential problems are there?”

Zou Xian pondered for a moment and said: "If it were me, as long as your scientific research allowance can satisfy me, I will choose the third mode without hesitation. Scientific research conducted to satisfy curiosity is the purest

research."

"I think there's still something missing." Li Li said next to him.

"Oh? What's missing?" Gao Si was curious.

"You only consider the needs of professional scientific researchers. There are also some people who are also doing research work that is very meaningful and they also need money." Li Li said.

Gao Si didn't understand what Li Li was talking about for a while, so he asked, "Can you give me an example?"

Li Lidao: "For example, Ma Tianpei has been studying spatial recognition algorithms, Shen Yunmei is studying how to use artificial intelligence to compose music, and Fu Kai is studying how to use eye control devices to play games. Isn't this very meaningful? Can it be possible? Give them more support?”

Regarding this issue, Gao Si’s intuitive reaction is: it should be supported!

But how to support it? Who will review the project? How to generate benefits? Gao Si has no answer in his mind.
