The winter in January is not over yet. The streets of the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration still carry a bit of chill. However, at the moment the Dongdian Building is located on the bank of the Pearl River Estuary, the atmosphere is hot and sweaty.

In the office of the board of directors, the man with a Guozi face loosened the collar of his formal suit, as if to relieve the tension in his heart, and muttered to himself.

"Is the air conditioner too big?"

The sentence was heard by the secretary standing behind him.

I saw the man with a low head, and immediately stood up like a conditioned reflex. He almost knocked the chair down on the ground with his careless actions.

"I'll go and ask now"

"No," looking at the digital clock flashing on the conference table, the man with the Chinese character face continued to say, "the meeting is about to begin."

Liu Zhengxing, Chairman of East Asia Power.

With 1.3% of shares, as the largest shareholder of East Asia Power, and has been in the position of chairman for five years. Except for him, who is sitting at the conference table at this moment is basically a core member of the board of directors or a representative sent by the major shareholders such as the AIIB and China Bank.

As for why they are sitting here for this meeting ...

It had to start with an old popsicle that suddenly woke up, and the huge legacy in his hand.

The meeting began.

Before Liu Zhengxing had time to speak, a slightly fortunate man sitting not far from him could not wait to speak.

"I just want to know now, are those credentials real?"

About an hour ago, they received a call from the relevant department, stating that a frozen shareholding was about to be lifted in the near future, and they hoped that they would make information disclosure and related preparations to avoid affecting the normal operation of the enterprise.

Once the news came out, it immediately stirred up the millennial waves.

Over the past century, the shareholding structure of East Asia Power has basically been quite stable, involving major equity changes of more than 5%, and it has not happened once in the past half century.

Therefore, nothing more than make them so nervous.

This is a matter of vital interest, and no one knows what kind of impact this matter may have on the operation of East Asia Power.

"With the notarization of the Bank of China, it must not be fake."

The man wearing gold-rimmed glasses pushed the glasses, sighed softly, and said, "Actually long ago, when I was still studying business at Shanghai Jiaotong University, I was thinking about this question. Why is the AIIB right? When Xingkong Technology carried out the asset liquidation, there was no part of the dossiers related to East Asia Power. "

His name is Zhong Ziyu, one of the managing directors of East Asia Power, and a member of the board's investment strategy committee. Unlike the national face of Liu Zhengxing, he was not sitting here as an individual shareholder, but was appointed by the AIIB, a professional executive with a class background.

After forefinger slightly on the table, after glancing around at the directors who were looking at him, he gently pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the lower bridge of his nose and continued to speak.

"... Even if the 20-year patent period has passed and after several rounds of technology upgrades, East Asia Power has no need to pay patent fees to Xingkong Technology. The shares of East Asia Power held by Xingkong Technology are still an annual dividend. Astronomical figures. With this financial support, even if the Jinling Institute of Advanced Research is a losing trade, it will not let it fall into bankruptcy. "

"But now everything makes sense."

Looking at him sinking in water, Liu Zhengxing said.

"What makes sense?"

"Everything is arranged," a hint of imperceptible admiration flowed from the pupil behind the gold-rimmed glasses. After a pause, Zhong Ziyu continued, "there is a very clever trader. No less than Ms. Chen, the first CEO of Xingkong Technology. "

"That person may not understand scientific research, but he knows enough about Xingkong Technology's business. Few companies rely on personal capabilities rather than business models to achieve the top 100 or even top ten positions in the world. Obviously Xingkong Technology is such a monster. Its core competitiveness is not the Academy of Higher Learning, but Academician Lu as the dean. "

"That person foresaw that after the loss of Academician Lu, Star Sky Technology's" malformed "business model would sooner or later cease to function, so he made two preparations in advance to transfer important assets from Star Sky Technology in advance."

"Later facts have proved that such an idealized model has indeed not been able to persist. The core R & D department of a high-tech company does not take profit as the first goal, unless they have more money and have nowhere to spend."

The blessed man asked curiously.

"Who do you think that person might be?"

"If my guess is correct, it should be Lu Xiaotong, Lu Zhou's sister."

"As the heir to Xingkong Technology, only she has the opportunity to do so, and only she has the ability to do so. Her teacher is the well-known Professor Krugman. I believe that as long as people who have studied economics, "Crisis Prediction" and its accurate predictions of the economic crisis in the middle of the 21st century are no strangers ... let alone she is the Nobel Prize winner in economics. "

Having said that, the glasses man smiled slightly, and continued, "However, it doesn't make much sense to talk about ancient people. We still talk about the current problem."

The meeting room was quiet for a moment.

At this moment, the director of the Financial Management Committee, who had never spoken, said in a careful wording.

"Actually, I think that the return of Academician Lu is not necessarily a bad thing. At least from the reaction of the market, most rating agencies have given more positive comments on this matter ..."

While talking, the director of the financial management committee suddenly noticed that the look on Chairman Liu's face was a bit unnatural.

I immediately realized what.

Based on the principle of no sinner, he changed his mouth without a trace, and didn't say too much.

"... Of course, this is just an inference I made from the market's response. As to whether Academician Lu's return can have a positive impact on East Asia Power, we need to analyze the situation. My suggestion is to contact him first. See if he has the idea of ​​entering the board of directors. If he is not interested in the company's operations, we don't need to be too nervous. "

"7% of the stock, if I'm not mistaken, he should have so many stocks," said a director, sitting at the conference table, with an envious tone, and sighed softly. All the wealth is in the hands of one person. Damn ... I don't think we can find anyone richer than him in the whole Pan-Asian cooperation. "

After more than 100 years, East Asia Power's largest individual shareholder also holds only 1.3% of the shares.

Except for those held by large institutions such as the Asian Investment Bank and the Bank of China, Academician Lu, who holds 7% or more of the equity, will become the largest individual shareholder of East Asia Power without any suspense.

It is no exaggeration to say that he has more equity in his hands than even the shares in the market. With this huge and unimaginable wealth, the world's richest man is humble, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is rich but an enemy country.

"You still only count the part of East Asia Power," with an envious expression on his face, another director said. "If I remember correctly, then Xingkong Technology also held a 20% stake in East Asia Communications ... Although submarine cables are not as profitable as our power generation, their market value is not small. "

The atmosphere at the conference table became uncontrollable for a time.

I don't know who started this. The good board has completely turned into a lemon lemon conference.

Except for a few core members of the board of directors, the other directors have envious faces. So that one of the directors who never spoke from beginning to end couldn't help but utter a word.

"The 20% stake is in the hands of an old popsicle ... how did they get here these years?"

"Under the new securities law, the dormant's asset ownership is frozen during the freezing period. That is to say, in the past century, they do not need to consider the part belonging to Academician Lu ... Of course, from now on, they must not Don't think about it. "

"What's so special, let's just merge and set up the East Asia Group. Forget about integrating energy, communication and industry, we are the oligarchs of the new world."

"This is indeed a good idea," said the man, who was slightly fortunate, with his eyes brightened. "If he took the lead, he might have hope."

Seeing that the topic on the conference table had begun to deviate, Zhong Ziyu coughed slightly, interrupted the brains of everyone, and said after pushing down his glasses.

"Don't dream about this ... the AIIB will not be able to approve it."

As the largest investment bank in Asia, in addition to considering economic benefits, they also have to consider the possible impact of each decision on the economic environment and society.

A huge oligarch is harmful to the economy of pan-Asian cooperation, and in the long run it will harm their interests. Naturally, they cannot agree to such a thing.

Of course, he did not deny that the man did have the ability to do so.

Regardless of the probability of success.

At least, the button was already on his hand ...

Looking at the quiet conference room, Zhong Ziyu pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose and continued to speak with a serious tone.

"In any case, I suggest contacting Lu Zhou first to explore his tone. If he is only planning to pay dividends, it should not have any impact on the operation of East Asia Power."

"If he is interested in getting on the board ..."

With that said, his eyes fell across the conference table, Chairman Liu's tight poker face.

He probably thought something, and his expression immediately became somewhat intriguing, saying thoughtfully.

"May things get interesting?"

...

the conference has ended.

With the dispersal of a few holographic lights and shadows, the original conference table suddenly became empty.

A few people who came to the meeting gathered the things on the table, nodded to Liu Dong who was in the first place, and then hurriedly left the conference room.

In the large conference room, only Liu Zhengxing and his secretary remained.

"get out."

"Yes."

The atmosphere did not dare to breathe, the secretary's face showed a relieved expression, and quickly exited the meeting room.

Watching the door of the conference room closed and the empty conference table, Liu Zhengxing suddenly grabbed the tea cup on the table and fell to the ground.

"This group of wall grass!"

"Who the **** has been working hard for East Asia Power! How dare these white-eyed wolves do that!"

Thinking of the meaningful words of the man in the glasses when he left, he was annoyed.

Under his leadership, East Asia Power has maintained a steady growth in performance for five consecutive years. Just because of a dead and living old antique, it is necessary for him to give up his power.

What a joke! ?

Taking a deep breath, after calming down, he calmed down quickly.

The index finger lightly tapped on the conference table, and a azure blue light beam was in the shape of a cubic cone, lit from the chair directly opposite him.

Waiting quietly for a few seconds, a virtual portrait like a puppet model in an old-fashioned clothing store gradually emerged from the holographic beam.

Looking at the man whose facial features were all obscured, Liu Zhengxing took a deep breath, his original angry expression converged a little, and said in a voice that could not hear him.

"There is something."

"I need your help."

Light pen
