Chapter 1490 Invest in Myself

[East Asia Power is deeply involved in the vortex of power struggle, and the staff of the electromagnet research laboratory resigned collectively! 】

[Scientific research reform? Or a power struggle? 】

【The 15s short film tells about the past and present of East Asia Electric Power, and takes you to understand the truth behind the history! 】

Being taken away by the police in front of so many people, it was impossible not to be seen.

In particular, this person's identity is still the head of the largest research unit of East Asia Electric Power in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration, director Liu Sihai.

For the sake of today, although it is the internal affairs of East Asia Electric Power, it is obviously not only the employees of East Asia Electric Power that are concerned about this matter.

As the largest power company in Asia and the promoter of cross-regional power grids, this company has a very special position in both economic and historical senses. Its destiny has long been firmly linked with the people of the Pan-Asian region bundled together.

With director Liu Sihai taken away, a series of reform measures for scientific research introduced by Academician Lu after he took office as chairman also surfaced.

Especially when they saw those research topics that were said to be cut off by Lu Zhou himself, many people felt "this is okay?!" in their hearts.

No one expected that under the uncovered cover, it had rotted to such an extent...

The building of East Asia Electric Power Co., Ltd.

Lounge area on the top floor.

Looking at Zhong Ziyu who was sitting on the opposite sofa, Morinagamoto who was drinking coffee suddenly said.

"The stock price of East Asia Electric Power has dropped a bit recently."

"Isn't that just right?" Zhong Ziyu smiled lightly and said, "Taking this opportunity, our Pan-Asia cooperation can just increase our holdings."

Raising his eyebrows, Sen Yong forever asked casually curiously.

"Are you so confident?"

For this question, Zhong Ziyu did not give any answer, but gave an intriguing smile.

After staring at this smile and pondering for a while, Morinagamoto's heart suddenly moved, and then he asked a question tentatively.

"Could it be that your side... plans to make a move?"

"Don't guess, we don't plan to do anything, and even if we do, we won't tell you." With a faint smile, Zhong Ziyu turned his attention to the estuary of the Huangpu River outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and continued, "Don't you think Is this a good opportunity?"

"Opportunities to Expand AIIB's Powers in East Asia Power?"

"Yes and no," Zhong Ziyu continued after a pause, "In contrast, what we want to know more is whether Academician Lu has the ability to settle this matter."

Scientific research ability is not equal to management ability. It is a very risky decision to elect Lu Zhou as the chairman.

In fact, within the AIIB, they have been evaluating the positive and negative impacts this incident may have on East Asia Power.

Zhong Ziyu, who was assigned by the AIIB to serve as the executive director of East Asia Electric Power and pushed Lu Zhou to the position of chairman, also endured a lot of pressure from the AIIB.

Although this collective resignation and the subsequent exposure of scientific research corruption are not a small trouble for East Asia Electric Power, it can also serve as a touchstone in reverse.

If you can't even settle this matter, then don't worry about the second-generation controllable nuclear fusion, it's a joke to do anything.

But if he settles this matter smoothly...

It will undoubtedly be the most powerful evidence of his managerial talents.

...

Things in the field of public opinion are still fermenting.

Insiders kept breaking the news, the personal grievances between Academician Lu and Director Liu Sihai, as well as his personality flaws and so on, will destroy the electromagnet research laboratory.

But to be honest, this argument is untenable no matter how you think about it.

A dormant person from 100 years ago, you said that he had a grudge with your ancestors, but it is reasonable to say that he has a grudge with you, a person who was born at the end of the 21st century...

The speed of this enmity is too fast.

As for the flaws in character, to be honest, that already belongs to the research category of historians.

Smelling the news, many reporters wanted to interview the parties involved, but Lu Zhou was too busy recruiting and Liu Sihai was too busy going to jail, so they could only let it go.

Villas in the suburbs.

A salesman in a formal suit stands at the gate of the yard, beside him is a gardening drone floating, and the shining scissors are shining in the sun.

"May I ask who you are?"

"I am a staff member of Hua Xia Bank."

Facing the access control camera next to the iron gate, the man who claimed to be a bank employee continued politely with a business smile on his face.

"Pan Asia Airlines entrusted us to handle the follow-up procedures of compensation for you. In short, I am here to send money."

"So... can you let your gardening drone move the scissors a little farther away?"

The iron door opened slowly, and the drone floating aside also flew away.

Nodding towards the access control camera, the banking clerk, under the surveillance of Xiao Ai, walked across the stone brick road next to the laboratory in the front yard and came to the door of the main building of the villa.

The door opened quickly, and Lu Zhou, who was standing at the entrance, invited him into the room, and ordered Xiao Ai to pour a cup of tea for the guest.

"Sorry, some bad things happened a while ago, so I upgraded the security system in the villa."

"It's okay, wealth itself is also a kind of pressure. Although I don't understand your troubles, I still read the news. Let me introduce myself. I am a salesman of Huaxia Bank. You can call it Manager Ma. I am here to visit today Your main reason is that Pan Asia Airways has entrusted us to handle compensation-related procedures for you and transfer the advance payment to your account."

As a large-scale commercial bank in the Pan-Asian Cooperation, Lu Zhou has heard the name of Huaxia Bank. Even the safe he got before was kept by them.

In the hijacking of flight N-177 some time ago, Pan Asia Airlines proposed to pay him 10 million credits in compensation. On the one hand, the money was used as compensation for moral loss, and on the other hand, it was also regarded as a reward for his heroic actions that saved hundreds of passengers on the entire flight.

Pan Asia Airlines has already paid him an advance payment of 1 million credits, and the remaining 9 million will be paid within a month.

If it wasn't for the bank's initiative to come to the door, Lu Zhou would have almost forgotten about it.

"What procedures do I need to go through to get this money?"

The horse manager said with a smile.

"No, we've already handled all the procedures for you. You just need to confirm the payment and sign the compensation agreement, and the rest of the money will be transferred to your account."

A total of 9 million credit points.

Although not much, it is quite considerable.

Looking at the string of zeros on the account, Lu Zhou's heart suddenly moved slightly, and he looked at the bank clerk sitting opposite him and said.

"If I want to get a loan, what procedures should I go through?"

"Loan?" Manager Ma was stunned for a moment, and asked earnestly, "May I ask, is the loan you want to apply for intended for investment or consumption?"

Lu Zhou frowned and said.

"Is there any difference?"

"This is different even 100 years ago..." Looking at Lu Zhou who seemed to know nothing about these things, the bank clerk said dumbfounded, "Not only the purpose of loans, but also mortgage and unsecured The difference... In short, whether it is the interest rate or the loan amount, it varies according to the type of loan."

"In that case... that should be considered an investment?"

The manager Ma continued patiently, "Can you be more specific? For example, the industry to invest in, and the amount you expect."

"The amount can be more than a billion. As for the field of investment... it can be regarded as investing in myself."

Hearing this casual explanation, Manager Ma almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

"This... more than a billion yuan is beyond the scope of my business. I will report this matter to the president. Whether there is any result or not, I will call you back later."

Having said that, Manager Nama hesitated for a moment, and added something in a low voice.

"I'm just suggesting... if you're not kidding, it's better to be a little more serious and reconsider the reason for the loan."

Looking at the bank clerk who got up to leave, Lu Zhou was slightly taken aback.

"...Xiao Ai."

"Um?()"

Touching his cheek, Lu Zhou muttered strangely.

"Am I not serious enough?"

"Maybe it's because the master is so handsome, it's hard to be serious! (///ω///)"

I see.

Hearing this reasonable explanation, Lu Zhou nodded thoughtfully.

That being said, it makes sense.
