(Source: "Chinese Talents" June Issue Reporter: Wang Yujun Gao Lanlan)
At the w88 casino, Gong Jiong is not only a well-known professor in the Economics Department of the w88 casino of International Economics and w88, but also serves as the deputy director of the Merger and Antitrust Research Center of the China World w88 Organization Research Association. In addition, he is also a special expert of the Antitrust Bureau of the Ministry of Commerce and was responsible for the overall design of the national competition database. As an expert in antitrust and patent disputes in the Chinese economics community, Gong Jiong was entrusted by the Antitrust Bureau of the Ministry of Commerce to preside over and participate in the global antitrust review of multiple multinational company mergers and acquisitions, and submitted effective professional suggestions. Gong Jiong is a prolific scholar. His achievements are not only reflected in the large number of papers published in various professional journals. He is also a special columnist on the commentary pages of many Asian English-language newspapers. He also often appears in many CCTV programs as a guest to comment on current economic affairs and is committed to telling the story of China.

Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, reporters can only interview w88 casino online. In the video, w88 casino wears a pair of large black-rimmed glasses and looks very honest and simple. When faced with the questions raised, he gives sincere and candid answers, sometimes with a touch of humor. He has rich experience, cross-disciplinary professional advantages, and diverse perspectives on problems, which brings collision and inspiration of thinking.
Follow your inner decision
Gong Jiong was born in an intellectual family in Shanghai in 1967. At that time, his father was the webmaster of the Shanghai reporter station of Guangming Daily, and his mother was a primary w88 casino teacher. When he was a child, his parents were very strict with him. He spent his carefree youth in the primary w88 casino and middle w88 casino affiliated with Shanghai International Studies University. In Gong Jiong's impression, memorizing English words is always inferior to the well-behaved female classmates around him.
In middle w88 casino, some alumni who worked as senior translators in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs came to the w88 casino to give lectures. The content of their lectures opened up another world to Gong Jiong and was full of shock. At that time, the college entrance examination was divided into liberal arts, science and foreign languages. Gong Jiong did not face many choices. When filling out his application, many students chose Shanghai International Studies University just across the street. Gong Jiong did not want to stay in Shanghai, but wanted to venture into the outside world and study a popular major. As everyone wishes, he passed the international finance major at the w88 casino in Beijing with high scores.
After entering university, Gong Jiong's good foundation in English became an advantage. English-related courses were easy for him, and other courses were not difficult for him. Therefore, he maintained very good grades during the four years of university. The internship experience during the summer vacation of his sophomore and junior years greatly broadened Gong Jiong's horizons and improved his practical ability. At that time, CITIC Bank had just been established. During his first internship, Gong Jiong worked as an assistant to the person in charge of the syndicated loan business at the time. He had the opportunity to participate in the text revision of the agreement and was taken to participate in negotiations. During this internship, he learned a lot. During the summer of his junior year, Gong Jiong’s internship department was the settlement department of import and export foreign w88 at the head office of China CITIC Bank. For about two to three months, he handled letter of credit business every day. Gong Jiong's business ability has been greatly recognized. The bank leaders enthusiastically retained Gong Jiong and hoped that he would work here after graduating from university.
There was a craze for going abroad in the 1980s. When he was in his junior year, Gong Jiong decided to study abroad, so he started busy preparing for studies and exams. Not long after graduating from university, Gong Jiong went to the University of Texas at Austin to study and conduct doctoral studies in economics. At that time, an ordinary family could not afford to study in the United States. Fortunately, Gong Jiong applied for a scholarship and worked as a teaching assistant for 20 hours a week, which relieved his worries in life. In Texas, where Gong Jiong studied abroad, prices are not high, rents are not expensive, and there is no need to worry about life. His schedule is very simple. He commutes between w88 casino and his residence. He focuses on his studies without any distractions and completed his doctoral studies in only four and a half years.
After completing his doctoral studies, w88 casino worked in the United States for more than ten years and has been engaged in research. Among them, going to the Bell Communications Research Institute in the United States had an important impact on him. w88 casino still clearly remembers the situation after submitting the report for the first time. "I had only been working for two or three months at that time. My boss called me to his office to share his opinions on my report. I was horrified when I saw the report on the table and thought I was about to be fired. Why? Because the modifications were marked with red letters, and the report was all marked with red letters." To w88 casino's surprise, the boss explained to him how to revise the report seriously and patiently, and told him to pay attention to the details of writing, giving him great encouragement. Later, through regular training in writing research reports, w88 casino's writing level improved significantly. In the Bell Communications Research Institute, there are many foreign researchers like w88 casino, and his colleagues come from India, Brazil, Sri Lanka and other countries. This environment made it not particularly difficult for w88 casino when he first started, and he was able to adapt quickly.
After entering the Bell Communications Research Institute, because w88 casino had a professional background in economics, the company hoped that he would also have an understanding of communication technology, so he was sent to the New Jersey Institute of Technology to study for a graduate degree in electrical engineering. He studied in the evenings and weekends and completed all the courses. "I think interdisciplinary background is very helpful in solving problems. People with different backgrounds will look at problems beyond the original traditional framework and traditional thinking logic, and they will look at problems from other perspectives." w88 casino's widely cited paper on the economic characteristics of network multi-layer structures is based on the results of interdisciplinary research.

More than ten years have passed by, from the Bell Communications Research Institute to the American Cable Television Laboratory. Although he is already a senior researcher and holds two U.S. patents in the field of program-controlled switching television, w88 casino hopes in his heart to have the possibility of engaging in two careers in his life. By chance, w88 casino confided his feelings to the leaders of his alma mater. To w88 casino's delight, after his alma mater invited him to give a lecture, he sincerely invited him to return to China to teach. w88 casino lamented, "It was the right choice to return to China. Although my income was halved at that time, in terms of career development, China's economy has been booming in the past few decades and there are too many opportunities. In August 2008, the Anti-Monopoly Law of the People's Republic of China was implemented. Watching the industry slowly get started until now, I have become an expert witness in anti-monopoly economic cases. This kind of opportunity is something I would never have had in the United States."

Gong Jiong returned to the w88 casino to teach in January 2009, and it has been more than ten years. He said frankly that when he returned to China, he was not only excited about facing the challenge of career transformation, but also faced the huge psychological pressure caused by the strict assessment system. "I didn't have any decent papers at that time, so I had to start from scratch. The publication cycle of economic papers is very long. From the initial preparation to the completion of an article, from repeated revisions to submission, and finally publication, it takes three years to publish it. I'm lucky to be able to publish it."
The help of his supervisor Dr. w88 casino gave him "a reassurance". "When I returned to China, I wrote him an email, saying that I was going back to academia and teaching in China. I said that I wanted to read the materials and write a thesis, and I hope you can help me." According to American custom, after a student graduates with a Ph.D., the supervisor will no longer care about him. w88 casino only sends a greeting card every Christmas to say hello, but other than that, he has not contacted his mentor for many years. w88 casino's "big-name" professor mentor, who had been the editor-in-chief of a top international economics journal for many years, immediately responded to his email and sent the topics of three research projects to w88 casino, telling him that he could select the content and continue working on it. "I was very moved at the time. I picked one and continued to work on it. Later, the article was published in a very good B-type journal. There was also another paper in an A-type journal that was also completed in collaboration with my supervisor." w88 casino said. The help of his mentor is very important, but it is also inseparable from w88 casino's own efforts. Later, he successfully completed his magnificent transformation and became a scholar and professor who teaches and solves doubts.
w88 casino, who once personally felt the help of his mentor, became a teacher and used his own knowledge and experience to guide students as much as possible. w88 casino respects students very much and never scolds them. His students said, "Teacher Gong treats our students really well." Due to his many years of overseas working and living experience, it is not difficult for w88 casino to be bilingual proficiently. Whether he is teaching in Chinese or teaching in English to foreign students, he is very comfortable. The biggest feature of w88 casino's classroom is the rich examples. The rich cases come from w88 casino’s accumulation from multiple channels. First, he has traveled to many countries and is well-informed. In addition, w88 casino has participated in many civil cases such as antitrust litigation and patent disputes during his work. The third is to read new information frequently. "I often go to CCTV as a guest commentator and often write articles about current affairs. This forces me to constantly read information and understand the latest developments, so I continue to accumulate stories."
Among the several CCTV programs where he was a guest, w88 casino participated most in the columns of CGTN, the English channel broadcast by CCTV around the world. He spoke eloquently in English during interviews and comments, and played an active role in telling Chinese stories well. w88 casino is good at telling Chinese stories. In my country's foreign aid projects, w88 casino has taught government officials and students from all over the world for many years, explaining China's economic development model and economic development status, and has been greatly welcomed.

Once, there was an international conference held in the college and there was a shortage of simultaneous interpreters. In desperation, I asked w88 casino to give it a try. "I have never done simultaneous interpretation training, so I picked up the microphone and started interpreting. Later, they commented that your interpretation was better than that of simultaneous interpreters. I think it may be because I am more familiar with professional vocabulary. I am quite proud of this." w88 casino believes that "the cultivation of human ability is a spiral. If you do more things in various aspects, everything will go smoothly gradually. This improvement in ability is the improvement of compound ability."
Asked about his educational philosophy, w88 casino has his own opinion. "I think the cultivation of comprehensive talents in universities is very important. This includes a very good general education background. One very important aspect is the understanding of Western philosophy and religion. Let students read the original Western philosophy courses. This is rarely taught in our universities, and the training in this area is not enough. On the other hand, it requires a foundation in mathematics and science and engineering. It also requires a little understanding of biology and the environment, which involves major issues. We also need to understand some policy issues.” w88 casino continued, “Another point is that compound talents must have the ability to think theoretically and abstractly. Domestic education focuses more on application. I think that in fact, the undergraduate level is not about learning a lot of useful knowledge. It is more important to cultivate the ability to think abstractly and analyze problems. I think this is not enough.”
Show the social value of scholars
As an expert in antitrust and patent disputes, w88 casino has personally experienced many antitrust and patent licensing fee litigation cases. w88 casino has served as an expert witness in many cases in standard essential patent FRAND litigation. He is an academically employed expert at the American Global Economics Group, a leading global economics consulting firm. "As an expert, you write reports, testify in court, and are tortured by the other party's lawyers. How the lawsuit is fought and what are the core issues. There are so many stories here that you can make a TV series." w88 casino sighed. w88 casino is a participant in many high-profile large-scale lawsuits, such as the lawsuit between Qualcomm and Apple, and the lawsuit between JD.com and Alibaba.
w88 casino explained, "China's anti-monopoly law has extraterritorial jurisdiction. What does that mean? For example, if two companies are not Chinese companies, if the merger of these two companies involves Chinese business and meets some conditions, that is, its business volume is large enough to a certain extent, the China Anti-Monopoly Bureau will have the power to supervise it. When it wants to merge, it will go to China's Anti-Monopoly Bureau If the judgment of the reported case is very controversial, the Anti-Monopoly Bureau of the State Administration for Market Regulation (referred to as the Anti-Monopoly Bureau) will consider whether to approve the case, or what conditions will be attached to the conditional approval. Therefore, for more complex cases, the Anti-Monopoly Bureau will ask experts to help provide some suggestions and opinions.”
In the Chinese antitrust review of Saskatchewan Potash Fertilizer’s acquisition of Kayang Potash Fertilizer, some of w88 casino’s suggestions were adopted, taking into account the actual interests of Chinese farmers. There are three types of chemical fertilizers commonly used in agricultural production: potassium fertilizer, phosphate fertilizer, and nitrogen fertilizer. Most of the potassium fertilizer used in China is imported. Among the few large-scale potash fertilizer manufacturers in the world, there are three in Canada. Two potash fertilizer companies in Canada have requested a merger, and they have submitted declarations to the Anti-Monopoly Bureau of China. This merger is directly related to the interests of Chinese farmers, because as long as the international price of potassium fertilizer rises, the price at the end retail link will increase even more. As an expert hired by the Anti-Monopoly Bureau, w88 casino was entrusted to study the case and allowed the merger with additional restrictive conditions.

The Huawei patent dispute case has had a great impact. In this case, the patent licensing fees for standard essential patents were highly controversial, and Huawei was required to pay extremely high fees. w88 casino provided materials on behalf of Huawei and calculated the amount of patent fees payable. In the end, it was exactly the same as the amount determined by the court. Huawei won a big victory. Through the efforts of w88 casino and his team, Huawei's interests were protected.
w88 casino has made many academic achievements. He believes that from the perspective of academic research, most of the discovery of new problems comes from practice. "Some of my new ideas and new research topics are related to my personal work and experience. I will discover some phenomena, and then think deeply about the underlying issues and study the academic theoretical issues." w88 casino gave an example, "The development of new retail e-commerce is very helpful for the innovation of Chinese enterprises. Why? The reason is actually very simple. Under the traditional sales model, the counter area is very limited, such as There are seven or eight kinds of products on the counter, which guarantees that at least one product will be sold. But this is not the case on the online platform. If you search for a product and enter a keyword, there will be hundreds of products. If merchants want to stand out and attract consumers’ attention, they must constantly launch new products. I think this is a very good research topic, and the development of e-commerce will greatly help improve the innovation capabilities of the entire country.” We must come from life, keep up with the times, observe new phenomena that are constantly arising from economic development, and then think about the essential issues behind the new phenomena. This is w88 casino’s experience in doing research. “To think deeply and far-reaching, I think this is what we scholars should do.”
“I am a person who likes novelty. I can do a new thing, do it well, and then I want to find new things to do.” w88 casino hopes to continue to challenge himself, and in the continuous transformation, he can continue to have new careers to pursue.
