After hearing about Julia's troubles, Gu Meng deliberately took a turn in the eastern region.

In the past, the pillar industries in the eastern region were heavy industry, machinery manufacturing, electric power industry, iron and steel industry, etc., and this industrial layout was mainly influenced by the Soviet Union and became an important link in the development of the Soviet Union.

In the past two years, the northeast has changed a lot, and a large amount of capital has gathered, among which high-tech industry centers and gene technology companies can be seen everywhere, full of vitality and vitality, and it has become a hot land, some like the southern region of China.

Gu Meng went to the Boer Communications Company and Gene Technology Company, which he had invested in, and took a look at the latest progress of the company.

At present, Boer Communications has cooperated with Nokia to develop new communication equipment, and has made significant progress, and it is expected to see new mobile phones on the market next year.

Gu Meng proposed two models, 'clamshell' and 'sliding cover', which were adopted by the technical department.

Timbling Genetics, on the other hand, has been slow to progress.

The genetics company cooperates mainly with the genetic biology laboratories of various universities and scientists selected from Russia.

The research direction of the Tambulin Gene Laboratory is different from that of the Dual-Base Laboratory, which is developing gene drugs that can alleviate aging and solve the problem of functional aging of organs.

After listening to the opinion of the chief researcher, Gu Meng talked about a problem, "Now the gene laboratory has invested a lot, more than 500 million US dollars, but the laboratory still has not come up with a decent product."

"No, no, Mr. Gu, our direction is to alleviate aging, this is a long-term project, it is impossible to come up with any genetic results in only two years, at the beginning of the establishment of the laboratory, we have mentioned this problem, if Mr. Gu needs a gene product like Shuangji No. 1 and No. 2, we can also develop it in a short time"

Professor Jonas, the chief researcher at the Tamblin Laboratory, reminded that he is a scientist who likes to focus on learning and does not want investors to dictate the lab's plans.

He thought that Gu Meng's proposal of the product was forcing the laboratory to speed up the research, and he was a little unhappy in his heart.

Gu Meng smiled lightly, "Professor, please listen to me!"

"Please!"

Professor Jonas stretched out his hand.

"Professor, genetic research is a long-term project, and the investment required is a huge amount, tens of billions or even hundreds of billions.

Where does this money come from?

Relying solely on investors is not a good idea.

According to Mr. Fitz, because the laboratory has not produced breakthrough results, many investors are considering divestment, relying only on investors for blood supply, and the Tambling Laboratory will definitely not go far."

Capital is impatient, there is no profit on investments here, they will be evacuated very quickly.

Even if the previous investment is lost, it is better than more investment in vain.

Gu Meng invested $30 million in the Tambling Laboratory, barely ranking among the top 10 shareholders and serving as a supervisor.

Now there is no bullshit in the laboratory, and every time we meet, I dare to reach out and ask for money, as if if the laboratory is about to die if I don't give money.

Investors are getting poorer and researchers are getting richer.

For this situation, not only Gu Meng is a little unhappy, but many people are thinking about whether it is worth continuing to invest.

Professor Jonas frowned, "What does Mr. Gu mean?"

Gu Meng spread his hands and looked at the busy scientists and research apes downstairs, hurrying back and forth with the information one by one, not knowing what they were busy with at all.

"The Tamblin Lab is a mature institution, and you should learn to make money on your own, such as cosmetics"

Gu Meng said with a smile, "The main research direction of our laboratory is to alleviate aging, and it is not necessary to develop substances such as Changsheng spring water, why can't we develop a genetic agent similar to 'hyaluronic acid', which can achieve the effect of removing wrinkles and modifying the face."

Jonas lifted his glasses, "Mr. Gu may not know, the main direction of our research is to overcome the genetic sequences that cause human aging in the human body and delay the speed of human aging, and the 'hyaluronic acid' drug that Mr. Gu said"

He shook his head, "This is just a temporary anti-aging drug, and our genetic research is fundamentally in two directions."

This is to criticize him for not understanding, and it is also to persuade him not to be a layman to guide an insider.

Gu Meng smiled nonchalantly, "Dr. Jonas, these are not two directions, I know from my supervisor, Professor Marshall, that there are already several laboratories working on this topic, among which the Hulse Island Laboratory has made the most progress.

Their plan to extract high-energy active genetic material from whale cell fluid to slow down human aging has already yielded good results, with a few labs receiving a billion dollars in investment for this little success alone.

On this subject, Tamblin is roughly the same as Hulse Island, and if the other party succeeds in developing an anti-aging agent, how should Tamblin Laboratories explain to investors?"

Jonas frowned, now there are more than 800 genetic research institutes in the world, and there are only more than 100 real core research institutes, and they mainly rely on the academies and universities of various countries.

These core genomics institutes are in a state of competition, and 100 institutes represent more than 100 countries and consortia.

Similar to the scuffle of 100 countries, except for a few research institutes such as Shuangji that have developed 'gene fluid', the rest of the research institutes are all rotten, and with the backing of their peers, they are not worried about losing investors.

In the process, the researchers became millionaires one by one, and the consortiums and shareholders lost a lot.

But this situation will not last long.

According to the analysis of the United States Finance Magazine, before 2000, major research laboratories may continue to rot, continue to waste investors' money, and consume investors' patience.

The first stage is a bit like engaging in pyramid schemes, shouting empty slogans and no products.

After 2000, research institutes and gene companies with products can survive, and without products, they will inevitably lose the support of investors and go bankrupt.

The number of institutes is expected to be less than ten.

From the contention of a hundred schools of thought to the stage of princes competing for hegemony.

This is the second stage.

After 2050, the gene age may enter the third stage, and there are less than three gene companies and research institutes left in the world, and the last three can be called the overlords of the gene age.

In the third stage, the genetic era will inevitably be fruitful and brilliant.

Gu Meng didn't have the confidence to let Tamburin live to the third stage, but at least he had to survive to the second stage, otherwise all the previous investments would be in vain, and he didn't want to be wronged.

In addition, there are many women in the family, and the age is generally on the older side, so he hopes that the institute will develop an 'anti-aging gene drug' as soon as possible, so that the women will always be beautiful, and it is not in vain that he has invested so much money.

"Mr. Gu, we will seriously consider your suggestion and give a reply as soon as possible."

Jonas pondered for a moment, then replied in an uncertain certainty.

"Good!"

Gu Meng nodded and left.

He didn't care if the other party listened.

It's better to listen to it, and it doesn't matter if you don't.

His original intention of investing in the Tamblin Gene Research Institute was to strengthen cooperation with the German consortium such as Fitz Sr., and to make a fortune together and exchange ideas.

In the first half of this year, the financial predator Soros sniped at the pound and crushed the Bank of England.

In addition, the research institute under his name is not only Tambulin, but also the Huaxia Nuwa Gene Research Institute, the Xiangjiang Ginseng Fruit Gene Research Institute, and the Korean Samsung Biological Research Institute.

Each one is strong, and he doesn't worry about all of them going bankrupt.

"Gu, how was the communication with Jonas?"

In the office, old Fitz asked about this, and the proposal just now was actually what he meant, but the old man was too lazy to move his mouth, so he handed over the matter to him, the supervisor.

Gu Meng smiled, "It's not bad, I think it's not a problem for them to research one or two cosmetics that delay aging."

Old Fitz nodded slightly, whether he can develop it is a matter of ability, whether he is willing or not is a matter of attitude, and he doesn't want to be the wrongdoer.

"Let's go, I'll go around with you!"
