The diva and I cross each other

Chapter 591 Lin Shuwen's Abnormality

After hearing this, netizens really think that the two look more and more alike.

So netizens started digging in this direction and soon confirmed that Lin Shuyue and Lin Shuwen were cousins. In addition, Professor Zhou was Lin Shuyue's aunt, so it was self-evident who Professor Zhou's daughter was.

Now the Internet is getting more and more lively:
"Wow! I didn't expect Wenwen to have such a background. Her father and mother are both masters in the field of biological science in China."

"I now understand why Wenwen studied bioengineering in college. It turns out it's a family tradition!"

"Fortunately, Wenwen entered the entertainment industry in the end, otherwise she wouldn't have invested in Zhuoguang Technology, and there wouldn't have been so much money to support Professor Zhou's research, and Professor Zhou wouldn't have won the Nobel Prize. I can only say that everything is God's will."

"Speaking of Shining Light Technology, I found out that Shining Light Technology has a subsidiary called Shining Light Biology. Could this company be related to Professor Zhou?"

"Why don't you just ask Glowing Light Technology and find out?"

So netizens rushed to the official website of Zhuoguang Technology to inquire about this matter.

Rong Mu took the opportunity to announce Luo Ming's biopharmaceutical plan, saying that in the next 10 years, Zhuoguang would establish a biopharmaceutical team with Lin Haizhou and Zhou Qingping as the core, and invest hundreds of billions to build a large-scale experimental park for the development of new drugs. At the same time, it would carry out genetic breakthrough decryption work to help humans overcome terminal illnesses and save more lives.

As soon as this announcement was released, it immediately sparked heated discussions among netizens.

Some people said that Zhuoguang was just trying to win popularity, some said that Zhuoguang was truly contributing to humanity, and some said that Zhuoguang launched this plan just for money. But no matter what, most people still expressed their support for Zhuoguang Technology's move.

Zhou Qingping's winning of the Nobel Prize was already a huge sensation, and the scorching light added fuel to the fire. When Zhou Qingping and Lin Haizhou returned to China, they were surrounded by reporters.

Fortunately, Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen had foresight and escaped through the VIP channel.

"Hello, Professor Zhou. I am Wang Bing, a reporter from Station C. Congratulations on winning the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. How do you feel now?" The reporter from Station C asked the first question.

"I am quite excited and happy to win the award."

"Professor Zhou, this award has enabled China to achieve a Nobel Prize-winning breakthrough in biomedicine. It is not only of great significance to you personally, but also to China's biological and medical industries. Do you have anything to say about this?"

"I don't think this award is a breakthrough. China has made many important achievements in biomedicine. The reason why we can't win the Nobel Prize is due to many factors, not that we are not good at this. Many of our achievements are not inferior to those won abroad."

If someone else said something like this, they would probably be scolded by some crooked people, but Zhou Qingping is a Nobel Prize winner, so there is nothing wrong with her saying this.

Besides, Zhou Qingping is not an ordinary scientific researcher, she is also Lin Shuwen's mother and Luo Ming's mother-in-law.

Many crooked people rely on the black traffic on the Internet to make money! How can they make money if they offend the boss of an Internet giant? It’s good enough if they are not banned.

After the reporter from Station C asked a few questions, he gave up his seat and let other colleagues ask questions.

Compared to the more formal questions from Station C, the questions asked by other media outlets tend to be more gossip-oriented.

The first question came from Headline News, which is the media of Glow Light Technology: "Hello, Professor Zhou. I am Ye Qiang, a reporter from Headline News. Do you know about the biopharmaceutical program launched by Glow Light Technology?"

"Yes, I am involved in this matter. I strongly support the decision of Zhanguang Technology."

"Then how did you reach a cooperation with Zhanguang Technology?"

“I have always felt that technology could facilitate rapid progress in biopharmaceutical engineering, just as Google used computers to decipher the human genome.

I am very happy that Zhuoguang Technology is willing to do something similar, and some personal reasons led to this cooperation." Zhou Qingping replied with a smile.

"The personal reasons you mentioned are referring to our General Manager Lin?"

"Yes."

"Professor Zhou, what is your relationship with Lin Shuwen?" asked a reporter from an unknown tabloid.

"Mother-daughter relationship." Zhou Qingping answered without hesitation.

In fact, Zhou Qingping has never concealed her relationship with Lin Shuwen. Many of her students know about it, but no one is bored enough to mention it online.

When the media saw Zhou Qingping admit it, they immediately started asking questions around this topic.

Zhou Qingping answered some of the questions she could.

This interview was quickly posted online by major media outlets from various angles, and Zhou Qingping's name remained on the hot searches for a long time.

Before we knew it, it was January 2017th, 1.

Today is the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, which is also the traditional annual meeting period of Zhuoguang Technology.

It is worth mentioning that after the New Year’s Day holiday, Luo Ming received the 2016 financial report of Zhuoguang Technology. According to this report, the total revenue of Zhuoguang Technology last year was 1668.26 billion.

In the past two years, Zhuoguang Games had the highest revenue in the company, but this year it was surpassed by TikTok.

In 2016, Douyin's revenue was 553.57 billion yuan, the highest among all the company's departments, followed by the game department with 492.78 billion yuan. The combined revenue of these two departments was 1046.35 billion yuan, accounting for 62.7% of the company's revenue.

Toutiao's revenue was 297.88 billion yuan, Neihan Duanzi's revenue was 178.7 billion yuan, Zhuoguang Entertainment's revenue was 45.58 billion yuan, Zhuoguang Bio's revenue from the sale of commercial patents related to activating innate immunity was 30 billion yuan, and all smart home products under Zhuoguang had a revenue of 22.51 billion yuan.

The remaining miscellaneous businesses and the profits of some companies invested by Rongmu add up to a total of 40 billion.

Next is the expenditure. This year, the largest expenditure of Zhuoguang Technology is still the equipment upgrade and feeding of large AI models, with an additional investment of approximately 700 billion yuan this year.

The total investment in promotion by Pinduoduo and Hellobike is 20.3 billion.

The remaining various technologies, game R&D investment, employee salaries, construction and relocation of the new headquarters in Shanghai, construction of Douyin's capital headquarters, investment in biopharmaceuticals, and other miscellaneous expenses, plus various operating costs and various investments, total 213.53 billion yuan.

Excluding expenses, the company's net profit last year was 734.43 billion yuan. Of the 734.43 billion yuan in profits, 10% was paid into the Zhuoguang Charity Foundation. Finally, Zhuoguang Technology's total profit in 2016 was approximately 660.98 billion yuan.

If calculated based on the profit of 734.43 billion, the profit margin of Zhuoguang Technology in 2016 was 44.1%, which is slightly higher than last year.

If calculated based on the profit of 660.98 billion, the profit margin of Zhuoguang Technology in 2016 was 39.6%, 4 percentage points lower than last year.

The profit of 734.43 announced by Zhuoguang Technology to the outside world is definitely the above one, and the one shown to the insiders or senior management is the one below.

But regardless of whether it is above or below, Zhuoguang Technology's profit this year is indeed several hundred billion higher than last year.

Therefore, this year's annual meeting of Zhuoguang was unprecedentedly grand. The first prize was three houses of over 100 square meters in Shanghai, the second prize was ten single apartments, and the final consolation prize was a red envelope of 10,000 yuan.

After the annual meeting, Luo Ming and Lin Shuwen flew back to Bingzhou on a private plane.

Last year, both families celebrated the New Year in Shanghai, so naturally they will go home this year.

On New Year's Eve, the Lin family started drinking as they did in previous years. Lin Shuwen and Lin Shuyue were probably the only two people in the family who didn't like drinking, and they concentrated on the food on the table.

This year's New Year's Eve dinner was prepared by Zhou Qingping. Recently, Zhou Qingping has become obsessed with Northeastern cuisine, and many of the dishes are from the Northeast.

Lin Shuwen especially likes sweet and sour pork, which is a dish with a sweet and sour taste. I don’t know why Lin Shuwen has been particularly fond of this flavor of dish recently.

She used to love spicy food, but recently she doesn’t like chili as much.

It is worth mentioning that sweet and sour pork was not originally a sweet and sour flavor. This flavor originated from the Harbin area and was originally created to cater to the tastes of foreign guests. After the modification, sweet and sour pork became more popular and the taste was gradually determined.

"Ugh~" While eating, Lin Shuwen suddenly felt nauseous and retched.

"Wenwen, are you okay? Why did you vomit after eating so well?" Lin Shuyue said as she handed over a glass of water.

Lin Shuwen took the water cup and took two sips. After she felt the churning in her stomach subside, she said, "Maybe I ate too fast!"

Lin Shuyue didn't think much about it and said casually: "No one is competing with you, why are you in such a hurry?"

Lin Shuwen smiled awkwardly. She also felt quite ashamed. She was not a child anymore. How could she eat so much that she vomited?

The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year, Luo Ming came to pick up Lin Shuwen after lunch.

There is actually nowhere to go on the first day of the Chinese New Year, so the cinema is the first choice. Luo Ming booked the movie tickets in advance and planned to take Lin Shuwen to watch the new movie "The Wandering Earth" produced by Zhuoguang Entertainment this year. Speaking of "The Wandering Earth", we have to mention Chinese science fiction.

As early as the beginning of the 21st century, that is, in the 0s, China introduced several excellent foreign science fiction blockbusters. At that time, many Chinese directors shouted slogans, saying that they wanted to make better local science fiction works!
Unfortunately, although the slogans are loud, none of the movies are up to par.

Around 10 years ago, several movies were released under the name of science fiction films. With overwhelming publicity, they aroused patriotic sentiments among many audiences, and they rushed to the cinema to pay for the movies.

However, after watching the movie, everyone fell into deep confusion. What was this movie about?
Going to the cinema again and again with high expectations, only to return disappointed again and again, many viewers feel they have been taken advantage of after being repeatedly tortured by these few bad sci-fi films. These crappy directors are deceiving domestic audiences and making money by stirring up emotions, while at the same time bringing shame upon themselves abroad. They have no bottom line at all.

Chinese science fiction films have also been boycotted. To be honest, if "The Wandering Earth" had not been produced by Zhanguang Entertainment, many viewers would probably be resistant to it and would not be willing to go to the cinema to watch it in the first place.

Currently, none of the movies produced by Zhuoguang Entertainment, whether animated or comedies, has a score below 8 points.

Just for this reason, some viewers are willing to believe in Zhanguang Entertainment.

Of course, there are also some audiences who, based on their distrust of domestic science fiction films, will never buy tickets to watch China's domestic science fiction films. After all, spending money is a small matter, but spending money to suffer is too disgusting!
"A Ming, is this movie good?" Lin Shuwen asked while chewing on a candied haws.

Luo Ming looked at her strangely. In his impression, Lin Shuwen didn't like sweet and sour food. But today, for some reason, she wanted to eat candied haws as soon as she got off the car.

"What are you looking at? I'm asking you a question!"

"Well, there must be no problem with my script. Besides, look at the theater, it's full of people! The audience has sharp eyes."

"Are there still not enough seats for the movie on New Year's Day?" Lin Shuwen said unhappily.

"Just wait and see, this movie will definitely be good!"

As soon as Luo Ming finished speaking, the lights in the theater went out, and the first thing that appeared on the big screen was naturally the dragon logo, which was the public screening license issued by the Review Department.

The movie begins with a scene of a beach at night.

"Quick, quick, quick, look, it's Jupiter!" A man's soft voice sounded: "The largest planet in the solar system."

"Dad, there is an eye on Jupiter." A child's voice sounded at this time.

"That's a big storm on Jupiter," the man explained.

The audiences have watched countless movies and will know at first glance that the opening scene will either be about the male protagonist taking his son to watch the stars, or about the father dying or not being with his son for some reason, and the son watching the stars is the protagonist.

"This opening is so cliché! I can guess how it's going to play out next." Lin Shuwen complained.

"All I can say is don't worry, look down!"

Lin Shuwen curled her lips and turned to look at the screen.

"What's a storm, Dad?" the boy asked.

"Jupiter is like a big balloon. Ninety percent of it is hydrogen," the man said.

The boy was obviously not satisfied with his father's explanation, so he turned to the old man sitting next to him and asked, "Grandpa, what is hydrogen?"

"What is hydrogen?" Grandpa Han Ziang smiled and asked.

The man touched the boy's head and said, "Dad drives the big rocket fuel."

"Hydrogen is the fuel that my dad uses to drive the big rocket!" The little boy even went to explain this to his grandfather.

At this time, the man's gentle voice sounded again: "Liu Qi, wait until the day when you can see Jupiter without a telescope, Dad will be back."

"Where are you going?" asked the boy Liu Qi.

"Dad is going on a mission, the most important mission in the world," the man said.

When the boy Liu Qi fell asleep, Liu Qi's father Liu Peiqiang said to Han Ziang: "After I leave, you will be Liu Qi's only guardian. You don't need to draw lots. You can directly obtain the qualification to live in the underground city. This is also the only way for you and Liu Qi to survive."

"Okay, stop talking." The old man solemnly held the tag handed over by Liu Peiqiang.

"Dad, I'm sorry." Liu Peiqiang said to his father-in-law with self-blame in his eyes.

"Tsk, it seems like the son is the protagonist of the movie. The father is gone, the son becomes rebellious and gets into all kinds of trouble. Can this be called science fiction?"

"Indeed, I thought that Zhanguang Entertainment could make a good science fiction movie, but I didn't expect it to start like this."

"I'm afraid these two hours are going to be tough."

"I should have gone next door to watch 'Smile'."

Listening to the audience's whispers, Lin Shuwen said jokingly, "Is Ah Ming going to fail this time?"

"It can't be turned over, it's a sure win!" Luo Ming answered confidently.

"is it?"

"Yes! This part is actually an introduction to the character's background. The mother is gone, the father is away on a mission, and the child will be raised by the grandfather alone."

At this time, the camera in the movie began to move from near to far, and the whole picture of the sea appeared in the camera, but the end of the sea was not the coast, but a giant metal object. The voice of narration began to appear, explaining the background of the world in the movie.

"At first, no one cared about the disaster, it was just a wildfire." The picture then changed to a scene of a wildfire.

"A drought." The scene turned into a barren land for thousands of miles.

"The extinction of a species." The picture turned into a rotting animal corpse.

"The disappearance of a city." The scene turned into a chaotic city.

Then the scenes began to switch, and the narration began: "Until this disaster, it was closely related to everyone."

After this sentence was said, the background music changed, and the tone of the narration also changed, becoming a rather formal voice similar to that of a broadcaster: "The sun is rapidly aging and continuing to expand. In a hundred years, the sun will expand to engulf the entire earth. In three hundred years, the solar system will no longer exist.

Faced with this catastrophe, mankind showed unprecedented unity. In order to allow more people to survive, the United Government decided to push the entire Earth away from the solar system and fly to a new home 4.2 light years away.

This grand and long-term human migration plan is named the Wandering Earth Project.

The narration ends here, and what follows is the scene of the planetary thrusters being activated.

The cinema was quiet for a moment, then immediately became noisy again:
"Holy crap! Isn't this movie about everyone going to live on an alien planet?"

"Pushing the Earth away from the solar system is a brilliant idea!"

“It’s really an unimagined path! It feels a bit new.”

"It takes the Earth out of the solar system. No wonder this movie is called The Wandering Earth."

"My intuition tells me that this movie will be a grand and romantic one!"

Lin Shuwen's expression also changed at this moment, because this movie is indeed a science fiction movie that conforms to the Chinese sentiment.

The Chinese people have a special feeling towards home, hometown and homeland. We care a lot about our homeland and have our own attachment and cherishment.

In works created based on the thinking of people in many countries, the sun is failing, and most of the time all human beings abandon their own planets and migrate to other planets.

But this movie is about taking the earth on a wandering journey, which is in line with the Chinese people's thinking. As long as there is a way, we will not abandon our homeland and our native land.

There is no place like home, and only the Chinese can understand the romance of returning to one's roots. (End of this chapter)
