Chapter 143 Face to face (second update)

WeChat raised 70 billion yuan. Naturally, it would not put the money in the bank to eat interest, but started a journey of spending money.

Before Qin Yuanqing participated in the Science and Technology Awards Conference, WeChat took 300% of the shares of Bilibili for 30 million yuan, and 600% of the shares of Zhihu for 30 million yuan.
Station B was established on June 2009, 6. The website focuses on young people’s trendy cultural and entertainment communities. It is a video website that creates and shares animation, comics, and game content. After a few years, various ghosts and animals at Station B became popular and became famous. Noisy, there will be many audiences among young people.For example, Qin Yuanqing was attracted to station B by the bureau, and then became a user of station B.

But now Bilibili has just been established for more than a year, A has not yet raised funds, and the valuation is not high, so WeChat waved money and easily won 30% of the shares.

Zhihu is an original content platform that belongs to the question-and-answer community and gathers creators. Its slogan is "If you have a question, there will be an answer."

This is still a relatively small move. The real big move is that WeChat announced to increase investment in Singularity, increase the welfare and income of network writers, optimize the Singularity website and develop the Singularity app, and attract traffic with WeChat to promote the diversified development of Singularity .At the same time, WeChat entered the film and television industry and invested in video websites and film and television.

Qin Yuanqing did not participate in these, and his attention was shifted from the disturbance outside to research and development.

However, on January 1, Qin Yuanqing had to go out of the laboratory to accept an interview with Yang Ma. As the winner of two awards, Yang Ma naturally needed to do a good interview and increase publicity. This is also a mission of Yang Ma.

The interview this time was directly in the office. This time the interview team was a face-to-face program. Face-to-face was a long-form character interview program on the Yangma News Channel. It lasted 45 minutes and was broadcast on the news channel every Sunday at 21:30.

People who can enter face-to-face are all heavyweights and have their own life stories. Among them are the focus people in news events, real people in news topics, influential figures in the changing times, and people who have attracted much attention. figure.

Qin Yuanqing welcomed the host Dong Qing and a group of staff carrying instruments into the office.

The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries, brewed a pot of tea, and the interview began.

For Dong Qing, Qin Yuanqing still appreciates it very much. Since her debut in the Spring Festival Gala in 2005, she has been known by the audience. She has hosted the Spring Festival Gala for five consecutive years, and she is on the list of hosts for the Spring Festival Gala this year. Sister's title.

Dong Qing is not that kind of stunning beauty. There are many prettier hosts than her, but her temperament is the best. Whether she is hosting the Spring Festival Gala or later variety show hosts, the deepest impression Dong Qing leaves on people is her temperament .

"Academician Qin, if there is any taboo that cannot be broadcast, you can disclose it in advance, and we will cut it as appropriate!" Dong Qing sat gracefully, with a very friendly smile on his face.

Originally, Dong Qing was not the host of this show, but was temporarily seconded. Because Qin Yuanqing was too young and had an extraordinary status, the original host of the program group was not very suitable.

"No, let's start directly!" Qin Yuanqing said with a smile.

"Well, the camera will start!" Dong Qingchao's staff nodded, seeing that the camera had been turned on, he immediately said seriously: "Academician Qin, first of all, on behalf of the program team, I would like to congratulate you on winning the first prize of the National Natural Science Award and the National Science Progress Award Grand Prize, and thank you for accepting the interview with our program group."

"We all know that Academician Qin is still the major shareholder of WeChat. The outside world is guessing. What made Academician Qin invest in WeChat? How did WeChat make those investors willing to invest heavily?" Dong Qing went straight to the point and asked a question Hot Issues.

Qin Yuanqing smiled and said: "In fact, everyone has no idea about this point. WeChat is actually a chat software developed in my spare time when I was in computer class last year. Its programs are typed out line by line. Yes. At that time, I had some money in my hand, so I wanted to try to operate it. It happened that Mr. Chen came into view, and the WeChat company was born. In fact, my initial idea was to wait for WeChat to have some users, and to use it I bought it. I didn’t expect it to grow.”

"For the WeChat company, I actually pay little attention to it. I spend more energy on scientific research." Qin Yuanqing said: "The WeChat company implements a professional manager model. If you have learned about WeChat, you will know WeChat The company has an equity incentive system!"

Dong Qing didn't expect that behind this WeChat, it turned out to be like this.

An Internet technology company with a valuation of 200 billion is actually only developed by Qin Yuanqing in his spare time after computer class?

"As for how WeChat makes investors willing to invest a lot of money, I think this question is very simple, that is the prospect!" Qin Yuanqing said: "Now is the Internet era, to be precise, with the rise of smart phones, now we have entered In the era of smartphone Internet, it is quietly changing the world, the number of WeChat users is growing rapidly, almost everyone with a smartphone owns WeChat, and its active users are almost equal to the number of WeChat users.”

"Now there is a point of view, which is to encourage scientists to start businesses. What do you think of this point of view?" Dong Qing asked another hot question.

"I don't agree with this point of view. Let me give you an example. My Shuimu University, I said in a forum this year that research universities are never employment-oriented. They should never talk about employment in universities and criticize schools. Students must receive 'employment-guided education' from the beginning of their enrollment." Qin Yuanqing said: "Employment is an economic issue that has no direct relationship with universities. Universities, especially research universities, are places that cultivate talents and cultivate national A place for pillars and national leaders. If students want to get a job after entering school, what kind of structure will it create? That is, everyone desperately goes to the fields that earn more money, such as the School of Economics and Management of Mizuki University, and good students also want to work after graduation. Go to a financial company, because it makes a lot of money!"

"It is the same reason to encourage scientists to start businesses. To be honest, it is difficult for one of the 100 scientists to succeed in starting a business, because it is difficult to start a business. Scientists are mainly engaged in scientific research. Let them operate and manage, run companies, and become entrepreneurs. President, this is a wrong use of talent and wisdom." Qin Yuanqing said: "It is impossible for a person to be a university professor, a company manager, and manage finance at the same time."

"Of course, scientists can invest in technology. This is a direction that can be tried." Qin Yuanqing said: "The competition in the 21st century is the competition of talents. The competition of countries is, in the final analysis, the competition of talents! Knowledge, too. The most precious thing is priceless!"

"It's not as good as selling tea eggs to engage in atomic bombs! Scientists can't be said to be poor or poor. In the past, there was no way for a country to be poor, but now that the country's economy has achieved great results, so improving the living standards of scientists is a must. It has become an urgent matter." Qin Yuanqing emphasized the viewpoint that 'scientists do not mean poor'.

"I heard that the annual salary of a doctor in your laboratory is one million. Is this the original intention?" Dong Qing followed Qin Yuanqing's words and asked.

"Yes!" Qin Yuanqing gave an affirmative answer.

"There is another question that everyone is very concerned about. Before the WeChat financing was successful, some people on the Internet had sharper views. Later, Academician Qin, did you make charitable donations because of pressure from public opinion?" Dong Qing asked a very sharp question.

"To be honest, it is a kind of pressure from public opinion!" Qin Yuanqing said with a smile: "Of course, my donation is not pressure from public opinion. Maybe everyone has misunderstood that the money after financing is my own, but it is not the case. The money raised is all It is kept in the company, and it is used for the company's development. Although I am the major shareholder, I can't embezzle it. And this financing also includes my investment of 10 billion."

"The charitable donation is mainly because I still have some money, and I don't need the money, so it's better to donate it, and I hope to contribute to China's education." Qin Yuanqing said with a smile.

"As for the pressure of public opinion you mentioned just now, to be honest, I rarely watch the news, so naturally I don't talk about the pressure of public opinion. It's just that it's not advisable for that kind of moral kidnapping. In my opinion, charity is a This is a sincere behavior, not forced." Qin Yuanqing said: "At the same time, I also hope that the society can invest more in the Hope Project and pay attention to children in mountainous areas. Although my country is now the world's second largest economy, it does not represent We are a developed country. On the contrary, our country is still a developing country, the largest developing country in the world. Education is a century-old undertaking, and it cannot be overemphasized!"

"Don't think that donating this money is the biggest charity. In fact, how much you donate is not important. I always think that science is the biggest charity, and everything else is insignificant." Qin Yuanqing expressed his point of view: "For example, Yuan Lao's Hybrid rice has fed an unknown number of people, so that Chinese people no longer suffer from hunger!"

Ordinary charitable donations are actually insignificant.For example, the reconstruction work after the earthquake, the country has invested trillions of financial funds, but in contrast, the donations from home and abroad are less than one hundredth.

Developing science and technology, strengthening the country with science and technology, and making the country rich and the people strong, this is the greatest charity in the world.As the country grows stronger, there will be more resources that can be mobilized urgently, which will be fully reflected in all future disasters.

In the black swan ten years later, the mobilization ability of the country is absolutely astonishing. No country in the world can match it. That kind of emergency mobilization ability is absolutely astonishing.
