Currently, Kechuang Bio is still in the development stage. Once it stabilizes, Zheng Li plans to evaluate the internal researchers and retain those with high potential.

After Huawei's biological storage server became a hit, there was discussion outside the industry, and even more heated discussion within the industry.
Especially companies like Sugon, Inspur, Unisplendour, and Yangtze Memory Technologies, all of which are companies in the industry, suddenly launched a satellite.
Why didn't I hear any rumors about this before?
Yangtze Memory is in a slightly better position, since its vice president suddenly went to work for a state-owned enterprise called DeepBlue Memory.
They had a hunch that something big was going to happen in the domestic storage industry.
They just hadn't expected this commotion to be so significant. They hadn't heard of any domestic research team possessing mature technology in biological storage before.
The outside world will focus its attention on Huawei, but those in the industry know that Huawei cannot develop biological storage technology on its own.
It's not that they look down on Huawei; they admire Huawei's research and development capabilities. Rather, it's that Huawei had no prior technological reserves, and it's completely illogical for them to suddenly produce biological storage.
Everyone's attention naturally turned to DeepBlue Storage, which was mentioned at the Huawei press conference.
The investigation didn't uncover anything significant; all that was known was that Guan Yang, from Yangtze Memory Technologies, went there to become the chairman.
Executives at these companies in the industry are also inquiring everywhere about which teams working on DNA macromolecule storage at domestic universities or research institutes have been poached.
Similarly, no information was found regarding any of the professors who had previously published papers on DNA storage; none of them have reportedly resigned recently.
Just as Guan Yang had predicted, after the launch of Huawei, he didn't need to do any door-to-door marketing; executives from various companies came to him one after another.
"Brother Guan, you're really not being fair. You have such advanced biological storage technology, why didn't you inform Dawn first? Dawn also has deep technical expertise and rich experience in the field of storage servers."
No sooner had the chairman of Inspur left than the chairman of Dawn came to visit. Li Jun didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point.
Sugon is also a state-owned enterprise, but not one directly managed by the central government. It was incubated by the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Currently, its actual controller is the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
When Guan Yang was the vice president of Yangtze Memory Technologies, he was more than one level below Li Jun.
Guan Yang laughed and said, "Mainly because our technology has only been developed and is not yet mature. There are still many areas that need improvement, so we were too embarrassed to cooperate with Dawn."
"When I was at Yangtze Memory Technologies, I was unable to cooperate with Sugon because the technology was not mature enough. This time, after joining DeepBlue Memory Technologies, the main problem is that the technology is still not mature enough."
Guan Yang was alluding to the fact that Yangtze Memory Technologies (YMTC) had previously hoped to enter Sugon's supply chain system, but Sugon kept delaying it, citing YMTC's immature technology.
The supplier of Dawning's storage service servers has always been Seagate, an American company. Seagate is the world's largest manufacturer of hard drives and disks.
Technically, Seagate is definitely more mature.
However, Yangtze Memory Technologies Co., Ltd. (YMTC) was a key national project, and its goal at the time was not to directly replace Seagate, but to enter Sugon's supply chain system and supply goods only if it met certain conditions.
Even with these conditions, Shuguang did not agree.
Li Jun knew that Guan Yang still held a grudge about that incident, so he explained, "At the time, we wanted to choose Yangtze Memory, but we had signed a three-year strategic cooperation agreement with Seagate in 2018."
"In addition, Yangtze Memory's 64-layer flash memory technology was not yet mature at the time, so we did not expect Yangtze Memory's technology to advance so quickly."
"We have mastered the 128-layer 3D NAND technology in just two years."
Li Jun is simply making excuses; the strategic cooperation agreement isn't an exclusivity agreement. Yangtze Memory's 64-layer flash memory technology could easily be incorporated into Sugon's low-end storage server models first.
Guan Yang did not expose the other party. He was just making excuses to appease him. They had changed companies, and it was impossible for him to make things difficult for Li Jun because of some past grievances with Yangtze Memory.
Guan Yang only realized in the last few days why he was appointed chairman of DeepBlue Storage: it was because he had a wide network of connections and was specifically sent to refuse these requests.
"Understood. Once the biological storage technology matures, we will license it to all Chinese companies."
"You don't need to worry."
“We are all state-owned enterprises, how could we not license our technology to Sugon?”
