I am a great scientist

Chapter 498

City in the Sky - the pinnacle of civilization, a huge meeting room, an important meeting is in progress.

Zhou Wenhai sat in the chair, Zhou Wenhai, and a group of shareholders listened intently to Yang Minghua's work report.

"The group's total turnover in the last quarter: 24.96 trillion, net profit attributable to the third quarter: 1.91 trillion, -3.7% year-on-year, basic earnings per share 3.78 Chinese yuan, the group worked hard to develop the starship market in the first half of the year, and further improved the shipbuilding industry chain Investment, further investment in scientific research, ..., the group will continue to persist in the future, the development of antimatter energy technology, the field of shipbuilding materials, ..., further strengthen, ...." Yang Minghua Taotao continued to talk about his work report.

After a pause, Yang Minghua announced the work arrangement for the next quarter: "In the next quarter plan, we will continue to focus on the starship industry, and at the same time launch the 'super-light speed research project' to continue to be the leader in the aerospace industry. The group will invest... …”

"Wait a minute, President Yang, did the 'Superluminal Research Project' pass the shareholders meeting? Didn't I oppose this plan?" Liu Changchuan suddenly interrupted Yang Minghua's speech very abruptly.

"It was approved by me. The 'Space-Time Wormhole' technology has flaws. The 'Super-Light Project' is the future of the starship industry. Shining Star Group must achieve results in this area so as not to be left behind by other groups." Zhou Wenhai Speak out to support Zhou Wenhaidao.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Zhou Wenhai in unison, and couldn't help frowning in unison.

With the Panshi and Wuheng losing contact one after another, the problem of "space-time wormhole" shuttle has a very serious defect. The larger the size of the interstellar spacecraft, the greater the accident rate of wormhole shuttle, and sometimes some small exploration ships get lost. The universe has cast a shadow over the era of "interstellar voyage" of human civilization.

Space-time wormholes have safety flaws, and 'flight faster than the speed of light' has become an important technology for continuing to develop 'interstellar voyages', which is extremely important for Shining Star Group to maintain its leading position in aerospace.

"Mr. Zhou, the research and development of the 'Super-Light Project' is a bottomless pit. If Xiao Zhou is always there, then of course there is nothing to say. The current Shining Star Group is no better than before. Once such a big project fails, it will be a traumatic thing for us. , I am against it." Liu Changchuan resolutely objected.

"I agree with Chairman Liu's judgment. The group still needs capital investment in many fields, and the R&D investment of 'Flight at the Speed ​​of Light' is too large to be suitable for development." Shareholder Lubs followed suit.

"Mr. Zhou, the sales volume of the 'Caesar' developed by Ximen Group is about to catch up with us, and the 'Riyao' of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is also fighting for orders from the federal government..., we now have wolves in the front and tigers in the back. Putting large sums of money into the 'faster than light project' would be a serious waste of our financial advantage." William Chalt added.

"No, you should take a longer view. It is technology that determines the market, not others. Shining Star Group has always focused on technology, and the 'super-light project' is the future." Zhou Wenhai's face darkened, and he retorted.

"Mr. Zhou, we also agree with this point of view. However, as far as I know, the Ximen Consortium and the Sanleng Consortium have achieved certain results in this technology. We are investing in it. I am afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty!" Liu Changchuan Looking at Zhou Wenhai, he reminded.

Hearing this, Zhou Wenhai's complexion changed slightly, looking particularly ugly.

One wrong step and you lose the whole game.

With the widespread promotion of intelligence-enhancing genetic medicines, the overall IQ of human civilization has been greatly improved. National government agencies and major financial groups have far more abundant reserves of scientists than Shining Star Group. The realm fell into the altar.

Just like moving towards the speed of light technology, Shining Star Group can no longer maintain its leadership in many advanced technological fields.

If it weren't for Shining Star Group's solid foundation, after 31 years in the fiercely competitive technology industry, the era of Shining Star Group would have ended long ago.

There was a "buzzing" sound in the conference room, and the shareholders were discussing.

"Has Ximen Group made a breakthrough in this field? When did it happen?"

"In this way, won't our 'Xingyao 3rd Generation' be blocked?"

"Alas, according to reliable sources, the speed of Mitsubishi Group's next-generation spacecraft should enter the sub-light speed."

"..."

Various technology groups are rising rapidly, while the halo on the Shining Star Group is receding. The shareholders are all anxious and very depressed.

"Mr. Zhou, if you insist on going your own way, I will withdraw my shares from Shining Star Group." A shareholder suddenly expressed his opinion.

"Old Wan, it was you..." Zhou Wenhai looked at Wan Hongbo incredulously, never expecting him to say such words in public.

"Mr. Zhou, Shining Star Group can no longer afford such a torment." Wan Hongbo looked at Zhou Wenhai apologetically, but said unwillingly to compromise.

"Mr. Zhou, Shining Star Group is in a very dangerous situation. If something goes wrong again, it is likely to fall apart. You can't just go your own way." As soon as Wan Hongbo finished speaking, another shareholder agreed.

"That's right! Mr. Zhou! The FTL project has seriously squeezed the group's liquidity. If there is a slight error, the consequences will be disastrous."

"..."

Minority shareholders stood up one after another to refute. In this situation, if Zhou had not controlled more than 51% of the shares of Shining Star Group, he would have been kicked out of Shining Star Group long ago.

A look of exhaustion appeared on Zhou Wenhai's face. Shining Star Group was created by his son Zhou Xing, and he really didn't want it to be destroyed in his own hands.

But without Zhou Xing, how can the Shining Star Group break out of the siege and rise again?
Difficult!

At this moment, an auxiliary robot suddenly walked up to Zhou Wenhai and reported in a low voice.

Suddenly, Zhou Wenhai stood up from the chair in surprise, trembling with excitement.

Seeing this, Zhou Wenhua was taken aback, quickly stopped Zhou Wenhai, and comforted him: "Brother, please speak well, don't get excited, don't get excited."

"It's okay, I'm okay, I'm..." Zhou Wenhai looked at the panicked shareholders, his eyes lit up suddenly.

Zhou Wenhai suppressed his excitement, glanced over the faces of each of the shareholders, and announced loudly: "I'm talking about it today, the FTL project will definitely pass, don't you think about Shining Star Group? Withdrew the shares? All right! Our Zhou family wants your shares, and anyone who wants to sell them can come to me!"

"Dismiss!"

Zhou Wenhai left the conference room angrily, afraid that he would not be able to control his ecstatic emotions if he stayed any longer.

"Boss, wait for me!" Zhou Wenhua looked anxious, looked at the shareholders, and quickly said: "Zhou always speaks in a fit of anger, everyone, don't take it to heart."

After speaking, Zhou Wenhua couldn't wait to follow Zhou Wenhai, intending to persuade him.

With the departure of the Zhou brothers.

The eyes of the shareholders in the conference room were flickering, and they were very moved.

With the passage of time, Shining Star Group, which lost Zhou Xing, gradually became ordinary. Under the siege of countless powerful groups, the stock of Shining Star Group has gradually become a "hot potato". If anyone is willing to accept it, then It couldn't be better.

Zhou Wenhai was just talking in a fit of anger!Does this matter?

He announced it in public, so don't blame them for not being kind enough.

In order not to damage their own interests, all the shareholders looked at each other, and Qiqi showed a 'cruel' smile.

Seeing this, Yang Minghua, Xie Liwu, and Lin Wei were very worried.

Soon, the shareholders left talking and laughing one by one. Yang Minghua, Xie Liwu, and Lin Wei rushed to Zhou Wenhai's office anxiously.

"Knock, knock..." There was a hasty knock on the door of Zhou Wenhai's office.

"come in!"

Hearing this, Yang Minghua, Xie Liwu, and Lin Wei pushed the door open and entered, and they couldn't help being stunned.

I saw Zhou Wenhai and Zhou Wenhua sitting on the sofa in the reception room, looking at them with smiles on their faces, looking very happy.

"I'm right! It must be Minghua and the others." Zhou Wenhai said with a bright smile on his face.

"Haha, Lao Yang, Lao Xie, you must have been frightened! I was also taken aback just now, but I'm fine now, so don't worry." Zhou Wenhua nodded and smiled, looking at Yang Minghua and the others to comfort him.

"Boss Hai, do you really want to take back those shares? That's an astronomical sum!" Yang Minghua looked at Zhou Wenhai in shock and reminded.

Xie Liwu was taken aback, and asked in surprise: "Boss Hai, what are your plans? You can't joke about this!"

Zhou Wenhai laughed, and waved to Yang Minghua and the others: "Come here, I'll talk to your big boss first."

big boss?

Yang Minghua, Xie Liwu, and Lin Wei looked at each other, puzzled.

The chairman's office is more than 200 square meters, with a built-in lounge, reception room, bar counter, study room, ..., and luxurious decoration.

The reception room is on the right side of the door. Yang Minghua just walked into the office, Zhou Wenhai, the scenery in front of Zhou Wenhua is their blind spot.

Hearing this, Yang Minghua, Xie Liwu, and Lin Wei hurried to the reception room.

In front of Zhou Wenhai and Zhou Wenhua, there is a large holographic screen. It turns out that they are having video communication with someone!
Seeing the people on the big holographic screen, Yang Minghua, Xie Liwu, and Lin Wei were all dumbfounded.

"President Zhou?" Yang Minghua called out in disbelief.

"Ha, Lao Yang, Lao Xie, Sister Lin, long time no see!" Zhou Xing greeted them with a smile.

With a "swish", Yang Huahua's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he asked tremblingly, "Mr. Zhou, is it really you, you, you...?"

"Mr. Zhou, are you back?" Xie Liwu trembled excitedly.

"Mr. Zhou, where are you now?" Lin Wei stared wide-eyed and asked ecstatically.

After 31 years, Yang Minghua, Xie Liwu, and Lin Wei were so excited that they couldn't express their emotions when they saw this face that had been thinking about it day and night.

"I'm in the solar system! After listening to my father's suggestion, I will go back after a while." Zhou Xing smiled and replied to everyone
"Understood! Mr. Hai, this is just a plan, we will fully cooperate." Yang Minghua nodded excitedly.

"Haha, that's great! You are back, Mr. Zhou, and they will regret it by then." Xie Liwu laughed heartily, as if he had already seen all the shareholders beating their chests and stamping their feet.

Lin Wei's face was full of joy. Don't be too angry with their work these years. If they hadn't witnessed the rise of Shining Star Group from scratch and couldn't let go of this emotion, they would all want to simply retire. , so as not to wait on those shareholders.

Now, with Zhou Wenhai's trick, he can almost drive out all those hated shareholders from Shining Star Group. The day when Zhou Xing returns will be the time of Shining Star Group's "rebirth".

"Mr. Hai, if you want to take back the shares of Shining Star Group, it will cost a lot of money!" Yang Minghua frowned, looking at Zhou Wenhai and said.

Hearing this, the entire reception room fell into silence.

Over the years, due to the loss of Zhou Xing, the main research and development force, Shining Star Group's research and development speed in various high-tech fields has seriously declined. It can be said that these years have been supported by the rich background of Shining Star Group.

However, with the excellent helper of 'Zhou Xiaozhi', the economic size of Shining Star Group has still expanded to an astonishing level, and the amount of funds needed to recover the released equity is an unimaginable figure.

"Get a part of the funds through equity pledge, and we will figure out the rest." Zhou Wenhai smiled wryly, who said it wasn't!

"Let's divest a part of the assets! If someone wants the Airship Manufacturing Factory, they can also sell it." Zhou Xing suggested with a smile.

"Mr. Zhou, the shipbuilding industry is the hottest field right now, and the airship manufacturing plant is the most important thing. How can we transfer it?" Yang Minghua stared at Zhou Xing in disbelief.

In the era of great interstellar voyages, the most important field is the manufacture of interstellar spacecraft. Big and small chaebols are swarming into this field, regardless of blood, just to gain a little market share. The spaceship manufacturing field includes all aspects, and a little market share is enough. Support hundreds of thousands of industries.

It can be said that the field of interstellar manufacturing is the main field of Shining Star Group. Once this industry is lost, Shining Star Group will also lose its "crown".

"Could it be? Mr. Zhou, have you mastered more advanced shipbuilding technology?" Yang Minghua seemed to have remembered something, and looked at Zhou Xing and asked in surprise.

Hearing this, everyone was shocked and looked at Zhou Xing with bright eyes, looking forward to his answer.

Now that Mr. Zhou is back, it's time for Shining Star Group to subvert the human world again!
"Almost!" Zhou Xing nodded with a smile, and then told everyone: "I will talk about this issue when I go back. The current shipbuilding industry is too backward, and I will sell everything that can be sold. I will ask Xiaozhi to make a list. Follow your mission!"

"Understand! Understood! We promise to complete the task!" Yang Minghua nodded excitedly.

Yang Minghua, Xie Liwu, and Lin Wei looked at each other with joy in their eyes. It was this feeling, the mysterious and passionate feeling that returned.

The return of the king, those scumbags who compete with the Xingyao Festival Group, get ready to tremble!
Yang Minghua, Xie Liwu, and Lin Wei were enthusiastic and energetic.
