Wang Jian used to be a "medical genius" and "conscientious entrepreneur" who were well-known throughout the country, but he was named "making a fortune in the country".
In the three years of the epidemic, the world is facing an unprecedented crisis, countless people have lost their jobs, but Wang Jian's worth has risen, and he has made as much as 22.28 billion in just three years.
Not only that, Wang Jian also threatened that he would live to be 120 years old, and his employees would also live to be 100 years old.
Why does everyone have different evaluations of Wang Jian, and how can he successfully "make money" under the epidemic? What's the story behind this?
A medical genius in the fight against SARS
When it comes to SARS in 2003, the post-00s may not have much impression, but many post-80s and post-90s are impressed.
SARS, also known as SARS virus, is very terrifying and contagious, and the fatality rate is quite high in that era when transportation, network, and medical care are relatively underdeveloped.
In the face of this unknown and terrifying epidemic, the country fell into a huge panic for a while, and at this critical moment, Wang Jian's BGI had just been established.
Such a special opportunity allowed Wang Jian to quickly find the meaning of life - he had to overcome the huge problems in epidemic prevention and control.
Just do it, Wang Jianma organized his team and immediately devoted himself to the work of analyzing the virus genes.
Through the diligent research of the entire company, the team led by Wang Jian found an efficient and reliable method of virus detection, and put it into the market in a short period of time.
At that time, all parts of the country were suffering from the invasion of the virus, and with the emergence of virus detection reagents produced by BGI, the epidemic was quickly detected more accurately and efficiently in clinical practice, which greatly curbed the spread and spread of SARS and promoted the early end of SARS.
At such a critical moment, countless people thought that the China Conference would make a lot of money through this law, but they didn't expect that Wang Jian made a direct decision - to donate his research results free of charge.
This has also made Wang Jian highly praised, and BGI has since become a benchmark for conscientious enterprises.
Judging from Wang Jian's life experience, Jian is a genius in the study of genes, he studied hard since he was a child, and was later admitted to Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine with excellent results.
At that time, it was still the 80s of the last century, and China's medical education was still relatively weak, so Wang Jian, who was very smart, immediately applied for further study in a well-known university in the United States after graduating from Beijing University of Chinese Medicine with a bachelor's and master's degree, and began to learn more advanced knowledge abroad.
In the following six years, Wang Jian engaged in research related to human genes in many well-known schools in the United States, and founded the Seattle Chinese Biomedical Association in 1991.
It can be said that Wang Jian's research on human genes can be described as a rare "genius".
But at such a glorious moment, Wang Jian chose to give up everything in the United States and resolutely returned to the motherland.
In 1999, the BGI Research Center rose to prominence with the efforts of Wang Jian, and four years later, SARS successfully made BGI a genius in the eyes of the public.
The new crown epidemic has caused "national hardship"
SARS in 2003 and the new crown at the end of 19 years are undoubtedly two of the most terrible catastrophic events in the 21st century.
During the Spring Festival in 2019, it was a happy time for the family, but a terrible epidemic suddenly came to Wuhan, Hubei, and Wuhan fell for a while, becoming the hardest hit area.
It coincided with the Spring Festival, the flow of people was huge, and the disease spread to the whole country overnight, and because of the development of the transportation network, the virus spread all over the world in a few days.
After 21 years, Wang Jian once again stepped forward and once again shouldered the heavy responsibility of overcoming the epidemic.
Because the new crown virus has a certain similarity with the SARS virus, Huada began to use SARS as the basis for detecting where the key point of virus transmission is.
In the face of the grim situation, BGI took risks and set up a professional laboratory of "Fire Eye", and the experience brought by SARS also provided a lot of motivation for "Fire Eye", and it only took four or five days for BGI to develop a diagnostic reagent to detect the virus.
In the face of serious developments across the country, this precious detection reagent has become a lifesaver.
As soon as the reagents were released, major manufacturers began to rush to buy them overnight.
Although the threat of the new crown is more terrifying than SARS, the opportunity to make money falls on the head, and no one will easily refuse.
At first, it was a popular nucleic acid test in China to see if it carries the virus, and then BGI quickly promoted this reagent to the world with technology and productivity.
Because of this, under the epidemic in just three years, Wang Jian's worth has risen, and he has directly multiplied his assets several times.
is the so-called "there are many people who are popular", which has also become the reason why Wang Jian is called "national difficult wealth".
How many people have considered that at the most severe moment of the epidemic, Wang Jian and his BGI employees risked their lives and desperately contacted infected people again and again to obtain data to study reagents, and how much money and material resources did BGI invest in research?
It can be seen from this that Wang Jian's "national hardship wealth" is what he deserves. Both he and BGI have contributed to the three-year fight against the epidemic.
The ambitious "madman"
As a "genius" in the field of genetics, Wang Jian has always had more ideas than ordinary people in this regard.
It is human nature to die of old age, sickness and death, and Wang Jian's lifelong research is to approach longevity.
With Wang Jian's unremitting efforts, BGI has become one of the most authoritative institutions in the world for gene research, and it is for this reason that Wang Jian has another reputation - gene maniac.
Immortality is the wish of people since ancient times, but no one has ever realized it.
In a program in 2018, Wang Jian said bluntly in front of the host: "I want to live to be 120 years old, and my employees can also live to be 100 years old!"
What kind of self-confidence and heroism is Wang Jianneng to issue such a slogan?
People who don't know Wang Jian may think that Wang Jian's remarks are exaggerated and foolish dreams, but judging from the current research results of BGI, the increase in life expectancy in the future will no longer be empty words.
From the perspective of Wang Jian's control of BGI's internal employees, the future period will also become the near future.
Wang Jian believes that the key to longevity is to have a healthy life plan, and his employees have a personalized healthy diet plan, as the so-called eat well, sleep well, and be in good health, exercise is naturally indispensable.
In order to give employees more opportunities to exercise, Wang Jian even canceled the elevator in the office building, climbed the stairs every day to increase exercise, and also installed fitness equipment in the company to facilitate fitness at any time.
Naturally, Wang Jian is the leader of all this, and he himself insists on exercising every day, developing scientific eating habits and sleeping time arrangements.
It is also under the leadership of BGI that many netizens who seem to pay attention to their own physical health have also followed suit and paid more attention to their physical health.
As a "madman" in the field of genetics, Wang Jian told everyone with his own ability and actions that as long as we can all work together, we will eventually overcome the problem of human lifespan in the future.
epilogue
There are too many impossibilities in life, and you can't think about not doing it if you can't do it. Wang Jian's experience tells us that success is achieved by one's own ability and hard work.
Not just one person can stand up in times of crisis, regardless of their own safety, to serve all mankind, and the 22.28 billion yuan is also the labor income of BGI.
Although many people now have misunderstandings about BGI, time will prove that the nobility of BGI is to serve all mankind, and I hope that Wang Jian will not forget to continue to work hard in the face of everyone's doubts and strive to overcome the problem of longevity as soon as possible!
