"What do you think about Zheng Li taking a leave of absence from school to start a business, and his company received an investment of 50 million from Lei Jun?"

Compared with Weibo, the audience on Zhihu is more interested in this type of topic, and this question was ranked first on the hot search list.

"Thank you for the invitation. I can only say that it's great to be young.

I am a student at the School of Mathematics at Jiangcheng University, and I think I am Zheng Shen’s senior. Zheng Shen is known to everyone in the School of Mathematics, and everyone regards him as the number one genius in the School of Mathematics.

In addition to publishing in Nature, he also published a paper in ARMA, which is roughly equivalent to the S in biology. It is not the top journal but it is still very powerful. Not to mention that he is only a freshman and only 18 years old.

It can be said that Zheng Shen is very talented in academics, and he has good prospects if he develops along academic lines. At least young people will not have any problems, and Yangtze scholars can achieve it if they work hard. As for academicians, it is difficult to say

Already.

But he chose to drop out of school directly to start a business. This may be his youth.

Let me tell you an interesting anecdote from the School of Mathematics at Jiangcheng University. When Zheng Shen first came here as a freshman, he said in their freshman group that there was no question he couldn’t solve and that everyone could ask him at any time, but there was a fee. I remember that the fee standard seemed to be

100 yuan for half an hour.

At that time, his classmates thought he was bragging, but later they found out that he was really awesome. Then he felt that it was too slow to make money in this way, so he organized a postgraduate entrance exam cram school for senior students at the time.

My roommate went to the cram school, so I know better about this. Zheng Shen also said that if you ask him casually, he will be exempted from tuition fees. My roommate asked Zheng Shen the final question from the postgraduate entrance examination of last year's Yanjing University.

, Zheng Shen wrote it after just one glance, which made my roommate dumbfounded.

The first thing he said to us when he came back was: Zheng Li is so awesome. It’s the first time I’ve seen someone who can answer questions as easily as drinking water.

Based on these things, it is obvious that in addition to his scientific research talent, Zheng Shen has an extraordinary desire to make money, so it is completely understandable that he chose to start a business.

I just didn't expect that Zheng Shen was so good at starting a business, and he directly attracted an investment of 50 million.

From my point of view, there is a possibility of success in Zheng Shen’s entrepreneurship. Even if it fails, there is no reason to come back and continue academic work.”

"Thank you for the invitation. I am the senior who went to Zheng Shen's cram school. As a senior, I was quite ashamed to go to the cram school for my freshmen. But after hearing Zheng Shen's Nature post, I felt that it was not the case.

Very embarrassing.

Later, I heard that Zheng Shen published ARMA, a top journal in mathematics. I felt that there was no shame at all, and those who were academically advanced came first.

Until now, Zheng Shen went to start a business and received 50 million venture capital from Mr. Lei. I guess Zheng Shen couldn’t bear the more than 1,000 tuition fees. I realized that I had made a lot of money!

I can be regarded as Zheng Shen’s personal disciple, and I can use this status to brag about it in the future!

Having said that, Zheng Shen's cram school has given me a lot of inspiration. Whether it is from the problem-solving ideas or the overall understanding of the mathematical system, Zheng Shen's often casual words can give me a new understanding of the subject.

For example, he said that the essential difference between mathematical analysis and advanced algebra is that mathematical analysis studies the trend of gradual changes, while advanced algebra studies the transformation of space.

This sentence well reveals the essence of the two basic courses.

Because I have taken Zheng Shen’s class, I feel very sorry for him to start a business. Top scientific research and teaching talents have gone to start a business, which is a loss to the mathematics community and a loss to Jiangcheng University.”

The above answers are those of stakeholders.

"I think it's Lei Jun's capital show. He invested 50 million in his junior, and the junior is still a top talent who has published Nature at the age of eighteen.

No matter how you think about it, it’s not a loss. If the business succeeds, it will be the best for Lei Jun.

If the business fails, Lei Dashanren will also gain the reputation of buying horse bones with a lot of money, which will be beneficial to Rice's future talent recruitment."

In 2019, Lei Jun and Da Mi’s reputations on Zhihu were mainly negative.

At that time, a large number of rice fans who spent real money to support DaMi's Hong Kong stock listing were devastated by DaMi's stock price, which was cut in half. In addition, due to the miscarriage of DaMi's self-developed chip Pinecone, Lei Jun was basically scolded on Zhihu.

What young man was cut in half for the first time, and because of his surging dreams, Lei Dashan had to stop using fake medicine.

Naturally, he had nothing nice to say about Zheng Li.

"Thank you for the invitation. I think it's a good thing. From the name of the company founded by Zheng Li, we can see that it is a biomedical company, which is in the same direction as the nature he published.

There are many such companies in the Yangtze River Delta. Zheng Li can make nature, and his talent in scientific research is undoubted. Combining the industrial advantages of the Yangtze River Delta and Lei Jun's network resources, I personally am very optimistic about Kechuang Biotech becoming an innovation-driven new drug research and development company.

Suzhou's high-tech parks also have many preferential policies for innovative enterprises. The super deduction ratio for R&D expenses is 75%, which means that only 25% of R&D expenses need to be taxed.

Our country does not lack Internet companies, but it still lacks talents in the field of biomedicine. I personally think it is a good thing for top talents like Zheng Li to join the field of biomedicine."

...

The disturbances from the outside world did not affect Zheng Li. He was busy purchasing the necessary instruments from abroad and building a laboratory of his own.

Various equipment such as ultra-low temperature refrigerators, constant-temperature air conditioners, centrifuges, pipettes, microscopes, and PCR machines were gradually put in place. Zheng Li felt as if he had returned to the Master's Tower.

Taking a breath of the filtered air, Zheng Li felt it was so fascinating. Although the functions of the instruments here were so primitive, this was where his career started.

In China, the cost of the first clinical phase is roughly between 8 million and 42 million. Endorphins are widely used, and the first clinical phase can be compared with morphine.

Therefore, the sample size is not as difficult to find as for some rare diseases, and the cost of the first clinical phase is relatively lower.

Moreover, before conducting human experiments, sufficient pathological and toxicological studies must be conducted on animals before they can be applied to humans.

Before patent registration, endorphins need to be synthesized through the method mentioned in Zheng Li's paper published in nature, and then these endorphins are used for experiments on animals.

Only when experimental data are sufficient can you apply for clinical trials.

Endorphin is a long-chain organic compound containing a large number of amide bonds. Zheng Li has moderately optimized the synthesis steps, but its laboratory artificial synthesis method is still very complicated.

Therefore, when recruiting laboratory personnel, you need experienced people. Such people can only be recruited in large numbers in the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta.

Before recruiting people, Zheng Li could only synthesize endorphins by himself. His efficiency was higher than that of five ordinary operators.
