Soon, more than a month had passed.
"Dying to Survive" has been a box office hit, rising from 100 million to 200 million, and then to 350 million, completely crushing Chen Kaige's "The Promise" and breaking domestic box office records.
It's only been a little over a month!
If we take into account the later box office, I wonder if the final box office will be able to exceed 500 million?
For a time, directors and stars across the country were all watching the final box office of "Dying to Survive," and countless big names in the entertainment industry called Xingchen Film Company.
Su Zhengnan didn't pay much attention to these matters and left them entirely to Lin Xiao to handle.
And after more than a month.
Su Zhengnan finally sold all his stocks, making a profit of nearly two billion yuan.
Although Xijiang Copper's stock price is still rising, Su Zhengnan is not greedy and will definitely not try to catch the last limit-up.
After withdrawing from the stock market.
Su Zhengnan has nearly 3 billion yuan in funds under his control!
Therefore, Su Zhengnan immediately instructed Lin Xiao to prepare for the filming of the second movie, "Crazy Stone," and naturally, Huang Bo was cast again.
As for Xu Zheng, Su Zhengnan asked Lin Xiao to prepare the third film, "Nightclub".
In short, the money in your hands cannot stop flowing; it must generate more money. Simply keeping it in the bank won't earn you much interest.
At this time, Lei Jun was still the CEO of Kingsoft. It was possible to invest when he founded Xiaomi, which would be a sure thing.
Besides Lei Jun, there are also Tencent, Ali Group, and others.
At this point, Ahri Group should have just received $1 billion in funding from Yahoo, which would have given Yahoo a 40% stake in the company and 35% of the voting rights.
I wonder if it's too late for me to raise funds for Ali Group now?
After thinking for a moment, Su Zhengnan called Lin Xiao and asked her to handle the matter.
If it is not possible to acquire a stake in Ali Group for the time being.
Then Su Zhengnan would directly buy Tencent's stock. At that time, Tencent had only been listed for less than a year, and its stock price was still very low.
This investment requires no brainpower or any action; all you need to do is buy, buy, buy.
How simple!
Soon, Lin Xiao received news that the Ali Group would temporarily cease accepting financing from any individuals or groups.
So Su Zhengnan didn't think twice and immediately opened a Hong Kong stock trading account, buying up Tencent Group shares on a large scale.
It's worth noting that at that time, Tencent's market capitalization was less than HK$300 billion.
Ten years later, its market value exceeded HK$1 trillion, and at its peak in 2021, it exceeded HK$7 trillion.
This does not include the dividends paid by Tencent over the years.
So Su Zhengnan didn't think too much and directly bought more than a billion worth of Tencent stock.
Of course, it will be purchased in batches; it's impossible to buy more than a billion at once.
Su Zhengnan handed these matters over to Lin Xiao to handle.
As a professional manager, Lin Xiao has done an excellent job in this regard, and naturally, she is well compensated.
at the same time.
After waiting for more than a month, Su Zhengnan was finally summoned by his senior brother Chu Xingyun to talk about working at the Beijing Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital.
It was Wednesday morning.
Su Zhengnan arrived at the National Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine base and then went directly to his senior brother's office.
Upon entering, Su Zhengnan saw the master sitting at his desk organizing documents, looking quite busy.
Su Zhengnan stepped forward and greeted him, "Senior Brother, busy?"
"Yes, busy!"
Chu Xingyun knew it was Su Zhengnan who had arrived. Without looking up, he flipped through the documents in his hand, constantly making corrections and revisions.
"Recently, there have been many TCM research projects that need to be applied for. In addition, there have been cases of a type of influenza in many places. Although the infection has been confirmed to be only in poultry so far, the higher authorities have issued a document requiring our TCM community to send a few people to take a look... So there is still quite a lot on my plate."
As they spoke, Chu Xingyun had already finished reviewing a document.
influenza?
Is it only transmitted in poultry?
Su Zhengnan immediately thought of the term 'avian flu,' so it must be this disease that spreads among poultry?
If he remembers correctly, this flu, which spread among poultry, had a devastating impact on many large-scale farmers and even affected global poultry prices.
Thinking of this, Su Zhengnan couldn't help but ask:
"Senior brother, the flu you mentioned only spreads among poultry, so it shouldn't be transmitted to humans, right?"
"Why not?"
Chu Xingyun looked up at him, sighed softly, and said:
"Since the beginning of the year, there have been three confirmed cases of this flu in humans, which shows that this flu may be transmitted from person to person, otherwise the authorities would not be in such a hurry."
"Has anyone already been infected?"
Su Zhengnan's expression turned serious as he suddenly realized that he was viewing the bird flu entirely from the perspective of his previous life.
But he forgot that in his previous life he was just an ordinary person.
Ordinary people have no idea how much effort domestic medical professionals have put in to prevent the spread of avian flu.
While continuing to review the documents in his hand, Chu Xingyun said, "But there's nothing to worry about. This flu is mainly spreading among poultry. As long as the source of infection is dealt with in time and thorough disinfection is carried out, it will be fine."
"However, this matter is mainly managed by the Health Bureau and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Our traditional Chinese medicine side is mainly responsible for researching treatment drugs for this type of flu."
As he spoke, Chu Xingyun put down his pen and looked at Su Zhengnan, saying:
"Since you're going to work at a hospital that combines traditional Chinese and Western medicine, you can take a look at it then, if you're interested."
"By the way, your employment has already been discussed with them. You can just go and report for duty."
Then, Chu Xingyun took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Su Zhengnan, saying, "This is your onboarding procedure. Keep it safe. You can start working next Monday. But it would be best if you could take some time to greet their dean first."
Su Zhengnan took the document, glanced at it, and sincerely thanked him:
"Thank you, Senior Brother!"
"Alright, we're all family, why be so polite with me?"
Chu Xingyun stood up, walked to Su Zhengnan, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile, saying:
"How about this, I'll organize a dinner party tonight. I'll invite Dean Feng from the Institute of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine to come out, so we can all have a meal together and get to know each other. That way, it'll be easier for you to start your new job next week."
"Okay, thank you, Senior Brother."
Su Zhengnan nodded emphatically and thanked Chu Xingyun again.
Chu Xingyun glanced at the time and said, "Alright, it's still early. Go out and wander around by yourself. I'll contact Dean Feng after I'm done with these things."
"Okay, then I won't disturb your work any longer, senior brother."
With that, Su Zhengnan turned and walked out of the office.
After leaving the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association base, Su Zhengnan was filled with many thoughts.
His teacher and several senior classmates were all too kind to him.
If I have the chance in the future, I must thank these senior brothers properly.
As for the teachers, it goes without saying.
Afterwards, Su Zhengnan returned to his residence. Thinking about the flu that his senior brother had mentioned earlier, he turned on his computer and began to collect relevant information.
If he remembers correctly.
This outbreak of avian influenza has caused the deaths of nearly four thousand migratory birds, not to mention the poultry raised by farmers.
In his previous life, he had seen many news reports about farmers whose thousands or even tens of thousands of poultry died one after another, and who then disposed of the poultry carcasses directly.
Even with government subsidies to help farmers.
However, it still caused significant losses to the domestic livestock industry as a whole.
With this in mind, Su Zhengnan began collecting relevant information while recalling the traditional Chinese medicine knowledge in his mind.
Traditional Chinese medicine also has a wealth of experience in treating animals.
In this respect, veterinarians are also a category of traditional Chinese medicine, and their medical skills far surpass those of so-called animal husbandry experts in modern medicine.
Soon, the afternoon was over.
Night began to fall.
Ring ring!
Senior Brother Chu Xingyun called and invited Su Zhengnan over for dinner.
Afterwards, Su Zhengnan tidied himself up and drove to the hotel booked by his senior brother.
With a creak!
Su Zhengnan pushed open the door to the private room and went inside.
The eldest disciple, Chu Xingyun, came forward and led him to a sprightly old man, introducing him with a smile:
"Master Feng, let me introduce you. This is my junior brother, Su Zhengnan, who is also our teacher's last disciple."
"So you're Brother Gu's last disciple!"
Feng Shilun looked at Su Zhengnan with a smile, sized him up, and said:
"I've heard Brother Gu mention you quite often lately. Indeed, you are quite handsome and dashing."
"I should have met you a few years ago when you first became Brother Gu's disciple, but I was busy with something at the time, so I didn't have time to attend your apprenticeship ceremony. Brother Gu scolded me quite a bit for that, hahaha..."
Listening to Feng Shilun's jokes.
Su Zhengnan smiled awkwardly and said, "Mr. Feng, you're joking. I believe our teachers generally don't swear."
"Hahaha... It seems that young friend Su knows your teacher quite well!"
Feng Shilun stroked his beard and laughed loudly, "Come, come, sit down. Let's sit down and eat and chat."
Clearly, Feng Shilun took a liking to Su Zhengnan, Master Gu's last disciple, at first sight.
This is probably what they call having a connection at first sight!
After everyone was seated, Chu Xingyun immediately called the waiter to serve the dishes.
Then, Chu Xingyun smiled and said to Feng Shilun:
"Professor Feng, my junior brother will be starting work at your hospital next Monday. I hope you can take good care of him then."
"Hey, what are you saying, Xiao Chu? Are you treating me like an outsider?"
Feng Shilun glared at him with some displeasure and said, "You are all Brother Gu's disciples, so you are my junior disciples. Do you think I would treat you as outsiders?"
“I’m very happy that Xiao Su came to work at our hospital. Brother Gu often praises his excellent medical skills to me.”
“Our hospital is currently undergoing medical reforms, and what we need most are young and capable TCM doctors like Xiao Su. Don’t worry, Xiao Su, just come to me if you need anything. I will definitely stand by you on work-related issues.”
It's not surprising that Feng Shilun would say that.
Because he knew Mr. Gu's character all too well.
If Su Zhengnan weren't truly capable, Elder Gu would never have praised his last disciple in front of him.
Feng Shilun is not yet seventy years old, much younger than Gu Fangzhou.
However, Feng Shilun's medical skills were not bad.
That is precisely why.
When Feng Shilun first met Mr. Gu decades ago, the two of them worked together on the development of sugar pills, which is why they became friends.
