Chapter 577 Unexpected Cake?
Without any hesitation, Chen Yushan agreed to Lu Zhou's invitation.
After receiving the offer from Xingkong Technology, she went to Shanghai almost on the same day.
Xingkong Technology's branch in Huaguo is registered there. As his work gradually shifts to the domestic side, Xingkong Technology's business center will gradually shift from Philadelphia to Shanghai.
Lu Zhou can still trust the senior sister's ability.
Especially after learning that the structure of Xingkong Technology Patent Management Company was initially in charge of her, he felt more at ease in entrusting these matters to her.
After returning to Jinling, Lu Zhou greeted Principal Xu, and then moved his belongings into the office of the Academy.
From April to May, his number theory class is about to start.
In addition, this year he will also consider bringing a few masters and doctors in mathematics and computing materials. On the one hand, it can reduce the burden on his own research, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as helping his alma mater to cultivate several outstanding talents.
At the same time, when Lu Zhou gradually shifted the focus of his work to Jinling University, the reorganization of the STAR demonstration reactor project team in Haizhou was also proceeding in an orderly manner.
It's just that what Lu Zhou didn't expect was that not only the eastern industry-research complex, but also the establishment of East Asia Electric Power had a lot to do with him.
On the phone, Feng Shuqing, who reported the work situation to Lu Zhou during this period, happened to talk about this matter.
"...In order to accelerate the laying of cross-regional power grid projects in Southeast Asia, the state intends to introduce private capital to participate in the construction of East Asian power under the premise of state-owned capital holding. The electric power company privately issued a total of 20 billion RMB of shares, and at the same time, it also publicly issued shares worth 20 billion RMB to the public to raise start-up capital.”
Turning the ballpoint pen in his hand, Lu Zhou frowned and asked, "Is it appropriate for this kind of enterprise to introduce private capital?"
Feng Shuqing smiled and said: "There is nothing inappropriate. Now it is not the past. Taking the road of marketization is the consideration of long-term development. In addition to reducing the vigilance of other countries, moderately introducing private capital can also bring social The energy is put to good use."
"What's more, these shares do not involve specific management rights. How the company should operate, and which regions the business should expand to, still follow the policy."
Lu Zhou nodded: "That's fine, I know about this."
Feng Shuqing: "Ah, by the way, although you must be notified of this matter, I still hope that Professor Lu will keep it secret for the time being."
Lu Zhou: "Isn't it going to be released publicly?"
Fengshuqing coughed lightly: "Although it is a public offering... But we can't let everyone buy it. Letting the news out now is purely to increase the difficulty of our work."
Naturally, it is impossible for everyone to get in the car with this kind of free money opportunity.
I'm afraid that the tens of billions of stocks in this area will be snatched up just after the news is announced.
Although he didn't ask about the specific progress of the reorganization work, the matter Feng Shuqing mentioned caught Lu Zhou's attention.
After all, that is controlled nuclear fusion.
In at least ten years, the only company capable of making fusion reactors is Dongfang Electric Power. What business can be better than a monopoly business?
Considering the huge domestic power supply demand and the outrageously low cost of controllable fusion, it is almost impossible to lose money.
It happens that I have a lot of money and don't know where to spend it, so I might as well use it to support the construction of the national nuclear power industry.
Thinking of this, after hanging up Secretary Feng's phone, Lu Zhou leaned back on the office chair and thought for a while, then immediately called Chen Yushan.
After the call was connected, he asked immediately.
"How much money do I have now?"
Hearing this question, Chen Yushan, who was sitting in her office in Shanghai, almost spit out a mouthful of water, and couldn't help complaining: "Don't you even know how much money you have?"
There are still people in this world who ask this question.
Is it really okay to show off your wealth so much?
Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly and said: "I usually leave it to the professional manager to take care of the company. I was too busy last year and didn't pay much attention... Aren't you just in Shanghai right now? By the way, help me see Let's see."
Looking at the mountains of documents on the desk, Chen Yushan sighed with some headaches: "Okay, I will send you a financial report later."
Lu Zhou: "Well, then please."
Didn't have to wait long.
On the morning of the second day after Lu Zhou ordered this matter, Chen Yushan made the company's financial report and sent it to his mailbox.
After downloading the attachment in the mailbox, Lu Zhou opened it and took a look.
I don't know if I don't see it, but I was shocked after seeing it.
For the entire year of last year, Xingkong Technology only had a net profit of 470 million U.S. dollars in its intellectual property business! Compared with last year, the profit increased by 37.6%!
If it were to be listed on the NASDAQ board, the market value would be at least 40 billion U.S. dollars.
Looking at this financial report, Lu Zhou couldn't help feeling emotional.
Counting last year's profits, the company already has $1.2 billion in its account.
Before I knew it, I was already so rich.
This feeling is really a bit indescribable.
Of course, Xingkong Technology's business is basically only intellectual property.
In addition, there are also cooperations with Julius Baer Group and Nuclear Industry Group on SG-1 superconducting magnets and liquid lithium neutron recovery systems, but the total profits of those businesses are only so small, and the main The business is several orders of magnitude worse, which can basically be ignored.
After reading the financial report attached to the email from beginning to end, Lu Zhou thought for a while, then picked up his mobile phone and called Chen Yushan again.
The phone rang twice and was quickly connected.
As soon as the connection was made, Chen Yushan's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Have you read the financial report?"
Lu Zhou: "Well, I've finished reading it. In addition, I have something I plan to leave to you to do."
Chen Yushan: "Hmm, what's the matter? Tell me."
Lu Zhou: "The reorganization of the STAR-2 project team will be completed in March, and the separated management and technical personnel will be retained in the form of East Asia Power Company. At the same time, the newly established East Asia Power Company will be responsible for controllable fusion at home and abroad and cross-regional power grid interconnection. related business..."
After briefly explaining the business situation of East Asia Power, Lu Zhou paused for a moment, then continued, "It just happened to catch up with this opportunity, it would be a pity if we missed it."
The stocks of non-listed companies cannot be circulated in the stock market, but there is a high probability that Eastern Power will go public like other power companies in the future, or split part of its business and go public.
Under such circumstances, no matter how many stocks you buy now, you can make a profit without losing money.
And even if they don't reduce their holdings and cash out in the secondary market at that time, given the future market prospects of fusion reactors, they can get a lot of money just by taking dividends.
Although Lu Zhou is no longer short of money, no one thinks he has a lot of money.
What's more, there are so many projects that burn money, and the little money I have on hand may not be enough.
Chen Yushan: "How much do you plan to buy?"
Lu Zhou thought for a while.
"Just buy a billion first."
