The graduate students, professors, and some undergraduates who can cooperate with some experiments in the Frontier Institute are too focused on academic research itself.

There is no desperate effort to publish papers to get promoted, and there are no endless so-called academic conferences.

Only research.

There has even been ‘false’ news recently that every frontier institute is going to win a Nobel Prize, which is even more ‘out of place’!

"..."

Guan Qiuhe took the teacup handed over by the child Fang Xin who appeared again, took a sip of tea, and said: "By the way, speaking of this, Tongfeng United School will officially open on the 1st of next month, and I was invited to cut the ribbon. You

…Do you want to go?”

Fang Nian was stunned: "So fast?"

"It's been two years. If we hadn't kept improving, we could have barely opened the park last year!" Guan Qiuhe glanced at Fang Nian, "For example, next year there will be five parks opening on September 1."

"And since this project started in 2010, 1.5 billion has been invested so far, and the Dangkang Charity Fund still has several hundred million in its account."

Fang Nian smacked his lips: "In fact, we should do some capital operations for Dangkang Charity Fund to expand funds."

Then he said: "When the time comes, I will go over and be your driver."

You still have to take a look.

"..."

Guan Qiuhe added: "Dangkang's Pre-IPO financing has been completed and the materials have been submitted to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange."

"I know this. Neil Shen called me and told me." Fang Nian hummed.

After looking at Fang Nian, Guan Qiuhe said with emotion: "It seems like yesterday that I founded Tan Fun. I didn't expect that it would be listed in the blink of an eye, and it might be the largest IPO fund-raising in the history of the Hong Kong stock market. I didn't know that the listing would be popular."

High market capitalization.”

Hearing this, Fang Nian joked: "There hasn't been a hearing yet. The longest hearing on Hong Kong stocks is two years. You are so sure."

"..."

Guan Qiuhe didn't even bother to talk to Fang Nian.

This kind of thing is obviously a sure thing, and Pre-IPO is not a fool's errand.

Even the cornerstone investors have basically made their decision, and at most they will ring the bell in mid-2013.

The greater probability is to depend on everyone's thinking and pick an auspicious day after a reasonable hearing period.

After all, Dangkang Games is such a popular company.

On the other hand, Fang Nian and Guan Qiuhe's personal shareholding ratios are declining rapidly.

Guan Qiuhe will maintain more than 5% of his personal shareholding, but Fang Nian will not.

Of course, Fang Nian’s name will still appear in the prospectus, but not as a personal shareholding, but behind the note;

It appears in a form similar to 'all the interests of so-and-so are held in a trust fund with Mr. Fang Nian and his family as the beneficiaries'.

Although the shareholding ratio has decreased and the value per share has also decreased, the shares held have increased a lot, and the total value has increased by approximately 12 to 15%.

In addition, Neil Shen made a special trip to Shanghai and participated in Toutiao’s Series A financing.

Toutiao’s Series A financing is still led by Frontier Angels, with participation from impact funds, Sequoia Capital, Morningside Capital and other institutions.

The post-money valuation was US$220 million, and US$20 million was raised.

Although Fang Nian did not come forward, Guan Qiuhe did so on behalf of Frontier Angels.

Shen Niel clearly saw the value of Toutiao, as did Liu Qin and others, but not many people could board the ship. Although Fang Nian was not here, it was still Fang Nian who had the final say.

There is another interesting thing by the way.

The rise of Toutiao and its rapid strategic coverage caused a person who started a business on Zhichun Road in Beijing to lose all his dreams.

This matter was spread through Meituan Wang Xing and others, and eventually it naturally fell into Fang Nian’s ears.

The entrepreneur named Zhang Martian really wanted to ask Fang Nian for advice in person.

Because he still had some personal connections, Zhang Martian also vaguely knew that the planner of Toutiao’s business blueprint was not the founder, but Fang Nian, who was behind the scenes.

As for Zhang Martian, he was teased by Wang Xing and others in private: How dare you compare your vision in business layout after Mr. Fang has opened up a track?

If the news had come out earlier, Fang Nian would have been able to meet Zhang Martian, but now that the frontiers are developing in a low-key manner, Fang Nian has given up his thoughts.

As a capital tycoon who has single-handedly created an influential club that can make all the difference, Fang Nian is China's most successful investor and is not afraid of any form of competition from anyone on any track.

At least in China, if a new entrepreneur wants to develop and become a well-known large company, he cannot avoid the influence of Fang Nian's name in the capital world.

unless……

People like Majek and Mapelly, who had been the richest men in the country, invested huge sums of money to start a new business.

Otherwise, even a big boss like Lei Jun cannot avoid the name Fang Nian when starting a business.

Capital is inevitable in the development process of enterprises.

If you have good ideas and good execution, what should you do if you have to burn money?

Xuejuchang calls on employees to invest in the company?

Just think about how Miao Wei rushed to Shanghai around this time last year to stop Frontier from issuing virtual shares!

Shen Neil and others now understand very well what Fang Nian brings to the Influence Club.

At least that's not what money can buy.

…………

Later, Lu Weiyu skipped work and returned to Junting.

In the afternoon, the child Fang Xin got his wish and followed Fang Nian and Lu Weiyu to Hong Kong.

A few days later.

The Integrated Circuit Standardization Technical Committee was formally established.

Forefront representatives were represented by Wu Fucheng.

This time Fang Nian did not go to the capital again.

At the meeting, Wu Fucheng did not make a representative speech. The spotlight was on several companies including SMIC, Loongson, and Shanghai Microelectronics.

Relevant media reports basically did not mention the frontier.

Many melon-eating netizens expressed on their respective social media platforms that Frontier is such a shame.

About the same time.

Toutiao has reached a strategic cooperation framework with Stations A and B, Qingchao, etc.

More than ten apps have been updated or launched at the same time.

Covers almost all social media applications.

Including news, funny jokes, ACG and other major categories.

As long as you have a certain sensitivity to this news, you can see that this is a diversion of the Weibo platform without analyzing it carefully.

In other words, encirclement and suppression.

Separate all social media categories except entertainment stars.

Weibo…

There was no response or action.

This is some kind of punishment for Weibo’s failure to guide platform users in a cutting-edge incident.

During the entire process, Fang Nian did not communicate with Charlie Zhang.

Although Charlie Zhang is a very good partner of Mr. Fang in the Internet circle.

"..."

About two or three days later.

A little thing happened.

The centralized procurement catalogs of some units have been updated.

A few particularly familiar faces have been reduced.

According to the catalog announcement, relevant units have suspended the purchase of some products from some units in accordance with the latest G**, GB and other standards as well as the provisions of the catalog from the perspective of protecting the absolute security of information.

Among them, Big Brother Lenovo, which once firmly ranked first, is nowhere to be seen.

At the end of the list, there is a completely unfamiliar face: Luzhou Zero Degree and its affiliated companies

"..."

At first the news spread only within a small area.

But I don’t know who stabbed it into the public network space, and it quickly became popular in an unstoppable manner.
