Chapter 1492 Who Said I Only Have One Company?

Facts have proved that Song Yangwei is not joking.

Perhaps it was because his practice of cutting down the entire laboratory was indeed a bit out of line. Even though in his opinion this was the only way to save East Asia Electric Power, it was clear that the capital market had their own ideas.

On the second day after Song Yangwei's phone call, the negative news of East Asia Electric Power seemed to be concentrated and broke out, and it frequently posted its presence on major media channels.

Although this kind of news will not interfere with the normal operation of East Asia Electric Power, it has caused its performance in the stock market to slump. Originally, the stock price rose a little because of his return, but now it seems to be beaten back to its original form. .

Even, it is not as good as before...

After staring at the up and down stock price of East Asia Electric Power for a while, Lu Zhou suddenly sighed with emotion.

"I can calculate the trajectory of celestial bodies, but I can't predict the madness of human nature."

Xiao Ai: "Master? 0.0"

Lu Zhou: "Nothing, just a little bit emotional."

This sentence was actually said by Newton.

In his later years, Lord Niu felt that bullying Hooker was no challenge, so he went to the Mint Bureau of the British Empire to find a position as the governor of the central bank and began to get involved in the financial field.

Although this guy is indeed a genius who helped the British Empire complete the excessive reform from the silver standard to the gold standard, but he lost a lot of blood in the stock market.

In particular, Newton suffered a loss of 20,000 pounds at a time when he encountered the "South Sea Company" incident that could keep pace with the Dutch tulips in European financial history.

So much so that in the end he expressed such emotion that he no longer cared about the stocks, and devoted himself to the study of theology and alchemy.

In fact, Lu Zhou did not lose money.

The money he spent a hundred years ago to buy East Asia Electric Power stock is not called money at all, but paper now. It is no longer a question of whether it is difficult or not to want him to lose money, but basically impossible.

It's just that when I think of the guy's threat to me in the video call, I feel uncomfortable for a while.

If I didn't react at all, and just watched him jumping around and shorting my company, wouldn't it seem that I was cowardly?

Really angry, Lu Zhou asked Xiao Ai to place hundreds of orders in the stock market for him without saying a word, and backhanded the 9 million credits that Pan Asia Airlines had just paid him.

However, as soon as the purchase order of 9 million credits was completed, Lu Zhou regretted it a bit.

After calming down and thinking about it, he felt that he was still a little too impulsive.

With 9 million credits, in a pool of the level of East Asia Electric Power, there is no splash at all, and it disappears without even hearing a sound.

Even if you want to increase your holdings, it shouldn't be now.

At least we have to wait until the job fair is over.

"I regret it a bit."

"...w(Д)w"

"It's nothing, I don't blame you either." Looking at the exaggerated strings in Xiao Ai's pupils, Lu Zhou shook his head and said to himself, "It's a pity that there is not much cash, and I can't hear the sound of millions of dollars thrown in." arrive."

It was not long after he woke up from the hibernation cabin.

If it had been a hundred years ago, he wouldn't have needed a loan.

Putting aside the things in the stock market, Lu Zhou who was sitting in the study closed the floating window in front of him, and continued to focus on the unfinished model in his hand.

This thing is a holographic model of East Asia Power's latest controllable fusion reactor.

Compared with his design a century ago, it can be clearly seen that he has improved a lot. Many places that he didn't consider before have been basically perfected in this century of continuous improvement.

There is not much room for further improvement in the energy utilization efficiency of the first-generation controllable fusion technology, and after knowing this, Lu Zhou's thoughts became more firm.

The second-generation controllable fusion, namely deuterium-helium trifusion, is the future of the energy industry!

In order to overcome the difficulties of the second-generation controllable fusion technology, there are two main problems to be solved, one is the ignition of the reactor, and the other is to install the fire.

To put it in more detail, it is to find a container that can hold and compress billions of degrees of high-temperature plasma.

It is obviously unrealistic to expect general materials to be able to withstand this level of energy, so for this "container", Lu Zhou's choice is still the magnetic field.

Although the theoretical calculation result of 10000T sounds a bit scary...

But compared to other technical routes, it is barely a more reliable one.

"However, the question is, where to find such a large magnetic field."

Gently moving his index finger, Lu Zhou removed the electromagnet part from the holographic model of the reactor, enlarged it and moved it closer, and placed it in front of him for a closer look.

In this era, whether it is office or scientific research, paperless has basically been achieved.

The three-dimensional holographic composition can more intuitively reflect every detail in the design, and can allow the designer to easily modify the parts that need to be improved.

After a few trials, Lu Zhou quickly realized the excellence of this scientific research tool.

Especially the part about online collaboration, a tool that allows multiple people to collaborate on the same work. For those researchers in a project team, being able to design while discussing is obviously much more efficient than the previous cooperation model.

However, no matter how powerful the scientific research tools are, they cannot escape the problems of scientific research itself.

Just when Lu Zhou was thinking hard and couldn't think of the answer, a paper he read a long time ago suddenly surfaced in his mind.

"... Magnetic storm compression."

He still remembers that it was a research team of Moscow University who strengthened the magnetic field strength by setting explosives next to the magnetic induction coil and squeezing the magnetic field with the explosion.

Judging from the experimental results, they are undoubtedly successful. In the era when raising the magnetic field strength to more than 100T would kill people, they even made the magnetic field strength to a terrifying 700T!

Although this research result only existed for tens of microseconds, the research team led by Professor Shojiro Takeyama of the University of Tokyo did repeat this experiment. And at the cost of sacrificing the entire set of experimental equipment and an iron door, the magnetic field strength was raised to 1300T in a short period of 100 microseconds.

Although this kind of violent experimental idea sounds unreliable, it seems to be the most promising option so far.

If a stable method can be used to achieve the conditions of magnetic storm compression by using the energy of controllable fusion itself, and generate a high-intensity magnetic field whose frequency is synchronized with the fusion reaction...

The whole device is not necessarily impossible to realize!

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou's eyes became brighter, and his heart was itchy.

If only his team were still around.

Relying on the technical strength of the 22nd century, even if he is pulling Sheng Xianfu and Li Jiangang, directors, he has at least 80% confidence that he will be able to create "Experimental Heap No. 1" first.

"Master, someone is looking for you outside. (ω｀)"

Converging his reverie, Lu Zhou looked at the electronic screen on the small drone lying on the corner of the table.

"who?"

"He claims to be the president of Huaxia Bank. 0.0"

President of Huaxia Bank?

Lu Zhou froze for a moment, and soon remembered the loan issue he had talked with the bank manager yesterday.

Guessing that the president probably came here for this matter, he immediately spoke.

"Let him in."

"Good host.()"

After changing into casual clothes in the cloakroom next door, Lu Zhou went downstairs to the living room.

When he walked down the stairs, the entrance door just opened, and he saw an elegant and easy-going old man in formal attire, standing at the door with a friendly smile on his face.

"Is it convenient for me to come in?"

Smiling friendly to the old man, Lu Zhou said.

"Come in, you're welcome."

Asking Xiaoai to pour a cup of tea for the guest, Lu Zhou, who invited him to sit on the sofa, also took the time to look at the old man while exchanging greetings.

Judging from the graying of his temples, he should be older than he imagined. Because the average life expectancy of people in this era is relatively long, people who are fifty years old look similar to people who were thirty years old in the past.

In this case, the old man may be over eighty years old.

However, this has nothing to do with him.

Just when Lu Zhou was thinking about how to speak, President Sun, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly said with emotion.

"It's too young."

Lu Zhou: "...?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend, I'm just feeling a little bit emotional," President Sun smiled slightly apologetically and continued, "I've heard about your history, It is often praised in history books that you are a young and far-sighted scholar. I have always been confused by this kind of rhetoric, but now that I see you, my confusion is much less."

Lu Zhou cast an unexpected look at him, not knowing what he wanted to express.

After a pause, President Sun continued.

"Innovation is the lifeblood of an enterprise. I have read analysis reports written by many people. Only a thorough shock therapy can save Dongya Power, which is gradually declining in innovation. But I never thought that the huge board of directors No one showed such courage, but you, a dormant person from a hundred years ago, made such a decision."

Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Although he thought there was nothing wrong with what President Sun said, but he praised himself so much in person...

His skin is too thin, it is really unbearable.

"I'm sorry," Lu Zhou said with a slight cough, "I just don't like those moths who don't want to make progress."

"After all, that is your legacy to the Pan-Asian people...I mean a gift, I can understand," President Sun smiled and continued, "Let's not talk about that, I heard from my manager that you want to borrow a A sum of money to invest in yourself?"

Lu Zhou nodded.

"That's right."

President Sun said strangely: "But I don't quite understand... If it is for the second-generation controllable fusion, shouldn't the money be paid by East Asia Electric Power? Why do you need to borrow the money yourself?"

Lu Zhou: "It has nothing to do with the experiment."

President Sun: "Then what are you doing?"

"In order to expand my right to speak in the board of directors," Lu Zhou continued after a pause, "I want to apply for a mortgage, so I can use the stock of East Asia Electric Power. Can you estimate the price for me?"

"The stock of East Asia Electric Power is a high-quality asset, and there is no problem in handling mortgages. The key is how much you want to get out of."

"Let's start with 10 billion."

"Pfft—cough cough!"

President Sun, who was drinking tea, almost choked.

Coughing dryly and calming down his breathing, he looked at Lu Zhou with a look of embarrassment and said dumbfoundedly.

"What do you mean... 10 billion first?"

Lu Zhou frowned.

"Can't you even get a loan of 10 billion?"

"No, with the stocks in your hand, it's no problem to borrow 100 billion, but the problem is that you don't have a clear standard for how much money you need to use—"

Just as President Sun was complaining about Lu Zhou's views on money, the watch on his left wrist suddenly flickered slightly.

Seeing the caller jumping on the holographic screen, the old man froze for a moment, his expression suddenly became serious.

"Sorry, I have a call."

Apologetically looking at Lu Zhou, President Sun stood up from the sofa, walked to the side of the living room, and pressed the switch button.

Lu Zhou was not in a hurry, and waited quietly for him to finish his call while drinking tea.

However, at this moment, he suddenly noticed that the expression on the face of President Sun, who was on the phone not far away, suddenly changed, as if he had heard some amazing news, and his blood pressure rose by a few points.

"What?!"

"Yangwei Capital issued a short-selling report? Are you sure you read it correctly?"

"Okay, I know……"

The call was over quickly.

After closing the video call window, President Sun took a deep breath, returned to the sofa and sat down.

After hesitating for a while, he spoke.

"That... Academician Lu."

Lu Zhou: "What's wrong?"

"If you want to take out a mortgage loan, I really don't recommend you to use the stocks of East Asia Electric Power." President Sun continued sincerely with an apologetic expression on his face, "If you must do this, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for us here. It is difficult to give you a suitable price."

Lu Zhou: "Why?"

"Risk issues... You should go to the stock market to have a look."

With a strange expression on his face, Lu Zhou tapped his index finger in the air, opened the holographic interface, and cut to the window of the stock market.

Almost at the moment when he just logged into the account program, a major bad news jumped out in front of him.

[Yangwei Capital released the latest research report on East Asia Power and gave a sell rating. 】

After glancing at the stock price, which plunged 5% in an instant, Lu Zhou looked at President Sun who was sitting across from the coffee table with a strange expression.

"What is a research report?"

"The research report itself is nothing, the key is that they disclosed the investigation materials about the chaotic power management in East Asia in the research report." Looking at Lu Zhou dumbfounded, President Sun continued, "In short, this is the case, we recommend you to use other assets for collateral. Um, that... do you still need a loan?"

"Loan, why not?" Lu Zhou said naturally, "I'll just borrow 50 billion first."

Hearing this number, President Sun thought he had heard it wrong, and looked at Lu Zhou in a daze and said.

"Five, fifty billion?"

"Well, can't you?"

"Yes, yes, but this requires mortgage..."

"I know, and you can't use the stocks of East Asia Electric Power, right?" Lu Zhou smiled lightly, swiped his index finger in the air, and separated a picture from his account that could be taken as a screenshot, and gently pushed it to President Sun "Who said I only have one company, East Asia Electric Power?"

Looking at the expression that gradually filled with shock, he continued,

"Whichever is suitable, you can choose whatever you want."
