Chapter 1484 Cleaning up Moths

When the entire editorial department of "Future" and Academician Zhang, who was the reviewer, were worrying about Lu Zhou's paper, the R&D department of East Asia Electric Power was also having a difficult time because of Academician Lu's appointment.

Song Yangwei, director of the Science and Technology Committee of the Board of Directors, was dismissed from his post, and the top management of the entire R&D department underwent a major shake-up, followed by the reform of the approval mechanism for scientific research funds.

There are rumors that Lu Zhou is reviewing the academic resumes of the senior executives of the entire R&D department, and adopting a zero-tolerance attitude towards those managers who are vegetarians and uncoordinated project managers. For a while, the entire R&D department is panicked. .

Of course, not everyone is panicked.

For those who are diligent in scientific research, the series of measures Lu Zhou made after he came to power are still very popular. For this group of people, they have long been displeased with those department executives who rely on nepotism and those project leaders who have not published a paper but get soft hands with funding.

"On the influence of feng shui on the safety of the controllable fusion core... What the hell are these rubbish subjects? One dares to report and the other dares to criticize!"

A big red cross was drawn on a document, and Lu Zhou, whose face was full of black lines, stretched out his index finger and quickly swiped across the holographic screen, switching to the next document without stopping for a moment.

After a century of development, the scale of East Asia Power has become larger and more bloated.

Behind the huge profitability and scale of the company are exhausted creativity and a bureaucratic corporate culture.

Although this big tree is still luxuriant, it has been riddled with moths.

If it weren't for the life-long hard work that people put in a century ago, Lu Zhou even wanted to sell the stock directly and start a new job with the money.

However, to his surprise, he didn't expect to be pushed to the position of chairman after he said those angry words.

But it is precisely because of this that even though East Asia Electric Power is already terminally ill in his opinion, it is not so bad that it is hopeless.

Even if these future children let him down again and again...

Looking at another study titled "Twenty-seven Methods of Brewing Coffee and Its Effects on Nap Quality", Lu Zhou's brows twitched again.

"Is this even okay?!"

Is this a scam? !

Or the kind that doesn't act anymore.

Looking at this project applicant who has appeared in front of him countless times, and Director Song who has randomly approved 2 million credit points for this kind of rubbish project, Lu Zhou, who feels that his IQ has been raped, finally couldn't bear it anymore Clearly put a mark next to the name of the author of the paper.

Afterwards, he asked his office secretary to throw these moths to the economic detectives to deal with.

At first, I thought it would be fine to persuade them to quit, everyone would get together and leave, and I am their ancestor after all, but now it seems that if I don't kill a group of moths to sacrifice the flag, this team can't lead it!

Looking at the time in the upper right corner of the holographic screen, seeing that it was almost time for lunch break, Lu Zhou took a deep breath and stood up from his office chair.

Although he didn't have any appetite at all, he decided to go to the rest area on the floor to have a cup of coffee after being bored in the office all morning, and get some fresh air by the way.

Now, he can finally realize how difficult it is to run a business.

This is still in his field of expertise.

In addition to scientific research funding, East Asia Electric Power does not know how many problems are hidden...

Holding a paper cup full of coffee in his hand, looking at the city outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, Lu Zhou suddenly thought of his senior who had silently supported him, and couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable for a while.

Although he always restrains himself from recalling the events of a century ago, he still thinks of things that seem to have happened yesterday from time to time.

In fact, since he woke up, he has been urging Xiao Ai to help him dig out things about the senior sister from the history of a century ago.

However, all the clues were interrupted in the third year after his disappearance. There were only limited indirect clues showing that after she resigned as CEO, she went to Beijing to meet her parents.

Then, she disappeared into the vast crowd like a ghost, and no one saw her again...

"Still reviewing the memorial?"

Hearing the voice from behind, Lu Zhou turned around.

I saw a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, also holding a cup of coffee in his hand, walking beside him with a smile on his face.

The AR technology in this era is quite convenient. For those friends who have entered the electronic business card in the address book, even if they can’t remember the name for a while, they can quickly recognize the other party’s name through the face recognition function of the AR glasses. Avoid the embarrassment of forgetting the other party's name in daily social interaction to a minimum.

It was also relying on this function that Lu Zhou remembered that this guy's name was Zhong Ziyu.

"Well, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, I just said it casually." Standing next to Lu Zhou, Zhong Ziyu smiled and continued in a chatty tone, "It has been five years since the AIIB appointed me to East Asia Power. Among the three chairman of the board, you are probably the most courageous one.”

"Thank you for the compliment."

"It's not a compliment, it's just a statement of facts," he took a sip of coffee, looked at the estuary of the Huangpu River outside the floor-to-ceiling window, smiled and continued, "Everyone knows what the problem is, but they stand up and try to solve it Yes, you are still the first."

Lu Zhou said expressionlessly.

"If you do it, you won't let me make a move."

"It's not that we don't want to do it, but the problem is far more complicated than what you see," Zhong Ziyu sighed softly, and continued, "Besides, any company is the same, there will always be people who can do things And people who don’t do it, and the two reach a balance at a certain critical point, and together maintain the efficiency of the enterprise on an acceptable track.”

Lu Zhou: "But it's unfair to those who do things seriously."

"This world is not fair."

"But that's not the reason for us to stop pursuing fairness..." Noticing the unexpected expression on Zhong Ziyu's face, Lu Zhou frowned slightly, "I feel like you have something to say."

"Nothing? I was just a little surprised, but it's not a special surprise..." Zhong Ziyu smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be an idealist."

Lu Zhou: "So?"

Zhong Ziyu: "Please don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything, I just admire your ideas. Ordinary people like us, have no interest in what happens to others... Maybe this is why you can become a great man, and we just The reason for passing by."

"However, it's just a little personal suggestion. Sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing to act too hastily. If the drug is taken too heavily, it may cause a rebound."

"It doesn't matter if a great man is great or not, I just do what I should do. As for the rebound, I'm curious, how else can they jump."

Throwing the empty paper cup in his hand into the recycling bin next to him, Lu Zhou looked at Zhong Ziyu and continued, "At the meeting in the afternoon, please inform all the R&D departments for me. There is no special reason for the researchers whose positions are above the project team leader. Must not be absent."

Zhong Ziyu didn't say anything, but simply nodded and said in a gentle tone.

"I'll let you know."

...

Lunch break is over.

It's exactly two o'clock in the afternoon.

In the meeting room on the first floor of East Asia Electric Power, Lu Zhou arrived at the scene on time.

When he arrived here, the meeting room was already full of people, and it was dark as far as the eye could see. The research institutes of East Asia Electric Power are located throughout Pan-Asia. Although not all of them have been present in person, at least they have stood here through the holographic conference system.

Looking around at the restless researchers and project managers in the audience, Lu Zhou simply read a few opening words, and then went straight to the topic.

"When I checked the accounts, I found that East Asia Power has never been stingy in investing in new technology research and development. Unfortunately, the results achieved have had little effect."

"Later, when I continued to check where every scientific research funding was used, I finally found out where the problem was."

"And this discovery, it pains me."

Looking at the silent meeting room, and the excited, nervous, hostile, or hopeful faces, Lu Zhou continued in a steady tone.

"It is urgent to solve these problems. The approval of scientific research funds and even the entire R&D department of East Asia Electric Power need a thorough top-down reform!"

"Starting today, the unlimited funding approval system will become a thing of the past. The reporting of all projects, from the director of scientific research to the science and technology committee of the board of directors, to the signature of the financial department, will be re-planned."

"As for the existing projects, I will cut 50% of them, and liquidate those projects that were suspected of occupational occupation and serious problems in expenditure in the past, and hand them over to the legal department for accountability!"

Looking at the silent crowd, Lu Zhou slowed down a little and continued.

"The following is the focus of today's meeting."

"Let's talk about how the second-generation controllable fusion project should do this."
