Chapter 658: Knowledge is Wealth
"Knowledge is wealth. β
In this bright spring March, many people have a deeper understanding of this sentence.
The most eye-catching "Dialogue" column of the national television financial channel invited Tian Lu, a super-rich man who is now in the limelight in China and the first scientist to win the Nobel Prize in China, to conduct an hour-long interview on the just-announced Forbes list of the world's richest people. And it was on Tian Lu's only public response to the rankings this time that he threw out such a sentence lightly.
It's a clichΓ©.
"As I said earlier, in the first thirty-two years of my life, I didn't make much money for myself. β
At the end of the program, Tian Lu said calmly: "Whether it was in college, or in the years of residency and basic research in the United States, I didn't think too much about it and did too much, but worked hard to learn all aspects of knowledge, and understood everything about scientific research. β
"But we can also see that there are a lot of very young rich people who also started with technology, isn't it wrong for them to do it?"
The host raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.
"Of course not. β
Tian Lu smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "But they and my side are completely two different concepts. I know there are a lot of young rich people, but they often start with patents and discoveries on the Internet or electronics. In the field of real basic research, this is very difficult. Just like my research and development work, no matter which one can be completed in a short period of time, it often takes almost ten years for a new drug to be launched from the beginning of the project to the final market!"
In order to emphasize his words, Tian Lu directly stretched out one of his hands and showed ten fingers.
Tian Lu also knew that he only agreed to participate in this show, so the attention he received would inevitably be very high, so he emphasized the importance of knowledge accumulation for wealth creation. In fact. If there is no system of the future. It would have been almost impossible for him to create such a situation.
Any person must have existing accumulation before there can be an outbreak.
Tian Lu knows that many people, especially young scientists, will see his own interviews. So he wanted to be able to make them understand that.
looked at Tian Lu's indifferent appearance. The host also sighed a long sigh in his heart.
I was able to invite Tian Lu to participate in the show. The host also knows that it is not easy, in fact, since winning the Nobel Prize last year. Tian Lu hardly gave any interviews anymore, and even reporters on national television knew that interviewing Professor Tian was an impossible task. But this time, following the Forbes list of the world's richest people, Tian Lu could only be interviewed again, and the host of the "Dialogue" program was very excited to tell the truth, and he was determined to dig up the bottom of Professor Tian on the show!
But what disappointed him was that Tian Lu did not hide it as he imagined, but revealed all the bottom to him very simply and thoroughly, making him feel no sense of accomplishment.
It's like you're talking about someone else!
But on the other hand, the host is also amazed, marveling at the road that Tian Lu has traveled in the past ten years, it is like listening to a story!
Relying on a patent for the preparation of animal models of epilepsy, he began to organize collaborative research on a global scale, thus embarking on the path of a top scientist. Then the development of scientific research projects and the release of heavyweight achievements made Tian Lu finally sit on the throne of Nobel Prize winners!
Starting with a small laboratory with only one room and three or four people, Future Biotech established Future Biotech by developing a small molecule compound patent, rented a floor of Beijing Normal University, and then stepped up to the present, making Future Biotech a huge scientific research institution with total assets of more than $30 billion!
As for Happy Creatures and Lantian Company, they are even more legendary. A neurobiologist has found his spare time to develop a series of high-performance health products and cosmetics, which sounds like a fairy tale!
Taking a deep breath, the host also knew that the talk show had come to an end, so he simply stopped talking nonsense and asked directly: "Professor Tian, in any case, as a scientist and clinician, you have now become one of the richest people in the world, and you are still ranked very high, so if you are asked to judge your wealth, do you think it is possible to stand in the first position in the future? If so, how many years will it take to do this?"
"You mean the richest man in the world?"
Tian Lu's brows furrowed, and he asked casually.
"Yes, the richest man in the world!"
Seeing Tian Lu frowning, the host was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly asked with a smile: "I have seen a lot of comments in the past two days, which roughly means that if several companies under your name are listed, your personal wealth can at least double in an instant! That is to say, your total assets can reach 70 billion US dollars, which is not far from the current number one in the world!"
Tian Lu's brows quickly stretched, glanced at the host lightly, shook his head and said: "I am a basic medical researcher and clinician, not an economist or a businessman, so I have no concept of your problem, and I have no interest in the world's richest man." For me, I just need to understand one thing. β
"What's the matter?"
The host, who was originally disappointed, was suddenly shocked and hurriedly asked.
"Wealth is created!"
Tian Lu leaned back and said softly: "Whether it is a future creature, a happy creature or a Lantian company, they are all less than ten years old, and they are all in their infancy. For a long time in the future, they will continue to develop at a high speed, and more elite talents will join, and more achievements will emerge. Now, I am only 40 years old, and I am still at the peak of my life and scientific research, so there is still a long way to go, and I believe that we can still create more wealthγγγγγγγ β
The interview with Tian Lu in the national TV "Dialogue" column unsurprisingly received extremely high ratings. Tian Lu's decision to return to China without hesitation won the favor of the Chinese people, and the development path like a myth also made many people more deeply understand the phrase that knowledge is wealth.
Whether it is on the Internet or various media, the discussion of Tian Lu, a rich man, has suddenly reached a peak!
On the third day after receiving the national television station, Tian Lu also accepted an exclusive interview with the BBC and NBC, a European media outlet, an American media, and then after thinking about it, he accepted an exclusive interview with the Japanese NHK, and then, as before, rejected all other media requests.
In the eyes of others, Tian Lu was too busy with work, so he only accepted interviews with the most influential media, but only Tian Lu and a very few people understood that he was interviewed by the other three media outlets except for national television.
These three foreign media are the most influential TV stations in their respective countries, and Tian Lu's words can definitely reach the ears of many people through these TV stations, which is very important for several companies that are now in the stage of rapid expansion! Facts have also proved this, only in the next few months of this year, the number of international students who have returned from Europe, the United States and Japan and joined several companies under Tian Lu has increased by 150% compared with last year!
On the other hand, the sales of Happy Bio and Lantian Company's products in Europe, the United States, Japan and other countries and regions have skyrocketed, and the growth rate is even as high as 400% within a year!
It's just that it took a little time to be interviewed, and Qian Lele forced Tian Lu to agree, which seemed to be too cost-effectiveγγγγγγγ
However, this follow-up has nothing to do with Tian Lu, after accepting the media interview, no matter how huge the reaction from the outside world is, Tian Lu himself has completely withdrawn from this matter.
Tian Lu is the world's top richest man, it is impossible to say that there is no influence on his work, but with the efforts of Tian Lu and several of his subordinates, this influence is quickly controlled within an acceptable range. It's easy to say in the Future Biology Building, it's nothing more than that the eyes of the employees looking at Tian Lu have added something, the only thing that is a little troublesome is the neurosurgery department of the Second Affiliated Hospital, even if the doctors and nurses can slowly get used to it, but those patients who come to the hospital can't, as long as they see Tian Lu, there is always a strange feeling, which makes Tian Lu very annoyed.
In any case, Tian Lu will not give up his clinical work.
However, considering all aspects of the situation, Tian Lu finally adjusted his work in Corey, gave up the outpatient clinic, and also reduced the link of direct communication with patients, and began to be responsible for only the most critical steps. In fact, he could have done this a long time ago, but Tian Lu always believed that as a doctor, it was necessary to maintain the necessary contact with patients, and he was unwilling to change.
In this era of highly developed consulting, the heat about the rich list has passed in a week or two.
It is impossible to eliminate the impact that has already occurred, but Tian Lu's work is finally back to normal, and in addition to his daily work, he also has to find time to pay attention to all aspects of the preparation of the new scientific research base, and he also has to start to screen the scientific research papers written by the three departments under his command recently.
After three or four months of preparation, the editorial office of the Journal of Neuroscience of Beijing Normal University was set up very efficiently, and the first issue of the first issue was finally published in Julyγγγγγγγ (To be continued.) )
