Chapter 1480 I Support

The moment the voice fell, the meeting room was terribly quiet, and the air seemed to freeze, as if even a hair falling on the ground could be heard.

I will be the chairman of the board...

An old popsicle from 100 years ago is going to run for the chairman of East Asia Power! ?

When the first person started to react, there was an uproar of astonishment that followed.

"You, you want to participate in the election of the board of directors?"

Lu Zhou looked dumbfounded and didn't seem to be joking. A man in his fifties or sixties sitting at the conference table said in an unbelievable tone, "But...you just woke up and took over such a big job. Can a group manage well?"

Finally, someone raised his head and questioned Lu Zhou, and the questions flooded in like a tide, and suddenly got out of hand.

"That's right! The market value of East Asia Power occupies a pivotal position in the GDP of the entire Pan-Asian cooperation region! This is no joke!"

"I agree with Director Zhao's point of view! The future of East Asia Electric Power is not only related to its own company, but the savings of millions of shareholders, the hopes of billions of people, and the stability of the economy and industrial production in the entire East Asia region! I It's not that I doubt your ability... It's just that you are from the 21st century after all, and now both the rules and the environment are different from before!"

"Don't be too serious about your words... I believe Academician Lu's starting point must be good, but he is a little emotional. My suggestion is that if you want to get involved in the operation of East Asian Power, you might as well first discuss it with the Technology Development Committee of the Board of Directors. Appoint a director? Or be the director of the scientific research department... We guarantee that your funding will be the most adequate among all departments."

"Are you really Academician Lu? In my impression, Academician Lu is not interested in such troublesome things!"

In addition to those who put their opposing opinions on the table, there are also some who stand up to smooth things over.

But the meaning inside and outside the words are all there, that is, he is not optimistic about him, and he said so much just to give him a step down.

Some people simply questioned his identity, and began to lead the topic in the direction of whether he was Academician Lu.

The entire conference table was like a big pot, boiling a pot of water, looking at the two directors who couldn't wait to jump up, a playful smile gradually appeared on Lu Zhou's face.

Just a few days ago, Pan Asia was celebrating his "resurrection", with congratulatory messages from those who have benefited from his academic legacy.

This naturally includes the board of directors of East Asia Power.

Looking at it now, probably not a single word of the joint letter expressing congratulations and praise to him was true.

In just a few days, after he took out the shares that had been frozen for a century and expressed the idea of ​​returning to the board of directors, their attitudes changed 180 degrees in an instant.

But now, these people simply took off their camouflage, and even pointed their guns at themselves with a unified caliber...

Those hypocritical remarks are not even comparable to a steaming pot of grilled fish.

After brewing emotions for a moment, just when Lu Zhou was about to speak, Zhong Ziyu, who was standing beside him, suddenly raised his volume to overwhelm the voices of everyone in the meeting room, and announced in a firm tone.

"The AIIB supports Academician Lu's choice."

The moment this sentence was spoken, the voice on the conference table immediately dropped a few decibels.

After hearing it for a while, Zhong Ziyu continued in a calm tone.

"On behalf of the AIIB, I will vote for it."

There was an uproar in the meeting room.

The roaring sound even overwhelmed Cai just now.

Director Zhao, who was about fifty or sixty years old, had a flushed face, saliva flying all over the place, hitting Zhong Ziyu's face like bullets.

"Are you crazy? You actually pushed an old... dormant person from a century ago to the position of chairman?! Are you not afraid that the capital market's expectations for us will collapse directly?"

"That can only show that they have no vision." Looking at him indifferently, the man with gold-rimmed glasses curled up an imperceptible smile, and continued in a calm voice, "Although I never believe in destiny , but this time I am willing to take a gamble. The establishment of East Asia Electric Power is inseparable from his wisdom, and I believe that under his leadership, East Asia Electric Power can be greater than it was a century ago.”

There were whispering voices at the conference table.

However, before everyone digested the amount of information in this sentence, another voice came from the conference table.

"Our SoftBank Group thinks so too!"

As if regretting that his movements were a step slower, Morinaga Moto, who was slightly fatter, couldn't wait to stand up after Zhong Ziyu finished speaking.

"Although our SoftBank Group did not experience that great era with Academician Lu, I have admired the legend of the 'God of Mathematics' for a long time." After looking around at the people at the conference table, he smiled kindly Laughing, he continued, "We admit that such a decision may cause some controversy, but the board of directors has not yet concluded, and the results of the election have not yet been announced. If you want to sell your stocks, you can raise your cards at any time... It just so happens that we Here, there is an idea of ​​increasing holdings."

Director Zhao's face turned green into a ray of light. Now that the AIIB has already stated its position, the probability of academician Lu being elected chairman is unshakable.

Not to mention the icing on the cake with SoftBank Group...

Not only Director Zhao, but also a group of "minor shareholders" staring at the position of chairman, with embarrassed expressions on their faces, sitting at the conference table, you look at me, I look at you, but can't say a word .

At this moment, Director Song Yangwei of the Science and Technology Committee of the Board of Directors pushed his glasses, stood up with a trembling body, stared at Lu Zhou with cloudy pupils, and said in a serious tone.

"I want to ask you a question, the second-generation controllable nuclear fusion you mentioned just now...are you joking, or serious?"

Since the establishment of East Asia Electric Power, they have been researching the second-generation controllable nuclear fusion technology, but this century has passed, but there is no movement at all.

Director Song admitted that although there is indeed a reason why East Asia Electric Power itself did not take it seriously, the technical difficulty involved is also undeniable.

Now an old popsicle more than 100 years ago woke up and said that the second-generation controllable nuclear fusion technology will be the development direction of East Asia Electric Power in the next stage. Except for the word magic, he still thinks it is magic.

"You actually asked such a question, I suggest you give me your seat as well."

"While serving as the chairman, I will also serve as a director of the Science and Technology Committee, and personally appoint the scientific research director of the group... If there is no suitable candidate, I will also take the position of director of the scientific research department of the group." Lu Zhou continued in a calm tone, "100 years have passed, and you still treat the second-generation controllable fusion as a joke. Are you joking or am I?"

Song Yangwei: "That's not what I mean...it's just—"

"It just sounds too unrealistic, right?" Lu Zhou interrupted him and continued, "I can understand if someone else thinks so, but you are the leader of the East Asia Power R&D department, and even you Think, I really want to know how on earth you got to be in this position."

Averting his eyes from the old man with a flushed face, Lu Zhou continued in a calm tone.

"Just say it again, I'm not joking."

"I will solve the second-generation controllable fusion problem during my tenure."

"above."
