The breakthrough in lithium battery technology continues to ferment the impact on the capital market.

The world's largest producers of lithium materials are Chile's sqm, American Albemarle, and Germany's Kemitel. These three companies have almost monopolized 80% of the world's brine lithium salt production.

The last trading day before Christmas, almost just opened, investors from the three lithium mining giants received an amazing Christmas gift.

Perhaps the shareholders of the three companies themselves were all overwhelmed by this sudden surprise. When the "Nature" and "Science" of the lithium-plated papers were highlighted, there was no movement in the market. No one thought of a scene. The mrs meeting brings such amazing results.

However, as the development of lithium-ion products in the industry has fulfilled people's expectations, the capital dividend brought by technological breakthroughs has begun to come to an end.

After all, when the upstream of the industry chain feels hot, there is no doubt that the downstream has begun to return to calm.

How the Wall Street capital market changes, Lu Zhou is temporarily not interested in these things, and there is no concern.

First, there is no research on financial aspects. Secondly, he probably has a period of time, and he is not so interested in money.

After financial freedom, he can explore more purely in the field of science without having to pay too much attention to research funding, market value and life issues.

To be honest, Lu Zhou now has some experience of David Shaw’s mood.

Although Wall Street brought him Columbia University can not give him the car beauty and luxury villas, but it can not give him eternal satisfaction.

Perhaps the tens of millions of volatility of the capital game is really stimulating, but this kind of stimuli can't be sustained even in the first few years, and it will be submerged in the emptiness of the tide, and only the numbers that are not aesthetically pleasing are left. The numbness is like a marriage that has been made.

Especially for a massively parallel computing expert, this boring and monotonous digital game, he has been unable to get any quick feeling.

However, science is different.

The joy brought by science is more lasting than any money, beauty, luxury car and even material enjoyment.

Imagine that when a research result comes out, the whole world is changing because of you. Most people don't even feel the rotation of the earth, but you can feel that the whole world is turning for you.

The void after a few seconds?

The numbness after the habit?

nonexistent.

Because the universe is like the Mobius ring, there is never an end.

The same is true of science.

......

With the arrival of Christmas, the entire Princeton town is filled with festive atmosphere.

In contrast, Princeton's campus has been deserted a lot.

Two weeks before Christmas, it was already winter vacation, and it will be placed until the second week after Christmas.

With the exception of some international students, almost all students choose to go on holiday at this time, or go home to "New Year."

Lu Zhou originally planned to have a Christmas party to celebrate the joy of housewarming. The result is not that his friends can't come two or two.

Luo Shixiong and the new girlfriend's girlfriend have returned to China. This guy is not one or two times.

David Lawrence returned to his hometown in Boston on vacation. Almost when Lu Zhou just returned from Boston, he took the plane and naturally could not come back.

As for the school sister in Philadelphia, it is because the tutor's project is too busy, even if I really want to come, but it is really impossible to go.

According to her, her mentor has just received an outsourcing project for a large client, planning a corporate organizational structure for a company with hundreds of millions of assets, and the deadline for the other party is to require completion by the end of January.

The menopausal woman lost a lot of uncomplicated but cumbersome tasks to her, on the grounds that you are not a Christian anyway, and then go home and enjoy the holidays.

Although this argument seems to be no problem, but still let the school sister in the video call with Lu Zhou, could not help but turn a few eyes.

He expressed sympathy for Chen Xuejie's experience, but this kind of management is beyond the scope of his ability, and he can only help.

These three people can't come, Lu Zhou suddenly found that he seems that no one can ask.

Among his friends, the young people close to Princeton are the three.

As for the old professors of the Institute of Advanced Studies, although many people have a very good relationship with him, it is obvious that they do not play together at different ages.

Fortunately, the three students of Lu Zhou have chosen to stay in school, and this party will not be left alone.

Soon it was the day of Christmas.

There was a burning flame in the fireplace, and there was snow and snow on the window.

Sitting on the banquet table in front of the fireplace, Lu Zhou, the boss, opened the champagne and said slowly with the three students sitting around the table.

"Next year is a new year."

Hardy raised his hand: "Professor, this is a nonsense."

Lu Zhou: "..."

If you are embarrassed, more!

Ignoring the speech of this kid, Lu Zhou continued to recite his Christmas message and expressed his vision for the new year.

"...Beginning next spring, there will be newcomers enrolled. I hope that as a brother and sister, you can take the lead."

Vera nodded as she had done in the past and remembered the words of the professor.

Qin Yue is a relatively type of wood, and the expression has not changed.

Hardy screamed as always, patted his chest and said: "Professor, you can rest assured, I will take the lead -"

Lu Zhou said unceremoniously: "Especially Hardy, I hope you can keep up with the progress, especially not to be overtaken by your schoolmates. Otherwise, if I recruit more students, I might be able to name your name. forget."

Qin Yue, who had sipped champagne, almost didn't get caught, and quickly cheated himself to laugh.

Hardy is grimacing: "Oh, Professor, please, please don't do this!"

The living room sounded a happy laughter and the atmosphere gradually became active.

Looking at the strange look of this student, Lu Zhou couldn’t help but smile and laughed and sighed.

"Then you have to cheer."

This is just a joke of an active atmosphere. Of course, he can't forget the name of his student.

Since they choose to hand over their future to him, as long as they don't give up, he will be responsible for it.

Unless, among them, some people did something about academic misconduct, and Lu Zhou was disappointed with his character.

Lifting the glass of champagne, Lu Zhou sent the last Christmas message to the raging fire, the snow outside the window, and his students.

"I wish you all the best in the new year, and I wish our project a complete success, toast!"

Vera, Qin Yue, and Hardy also raised their glasses: "Cheers!!!"

The sound of staggering is constantly ringing.

Although the church bells could not be heard here, the laughter was filled with warmth.

At the dinner table, he laughed at how much he could drink Hardy. However, in a few rounds, Qin Yue, who did not seem to drink very much, was given a drink.

However, after several rounds, Qin Yue also fell.

No one can expect that the most able to drink in the group of hail guessing is actually Vera, who seems to be the weakest.

The empty bottles on the table were already in a row, but the white cheeks were just hung up with a little red glow, which made people wonder where the wines were.

In the past, Lu Zhou did not believe in the amount of Slavic wine. Until he was a mathematician, he began to remember that this was the first few cups.

The slightest gaze stared at the dimly lit fireplace, and the boat that barely poured a cup couldn’t help thinking about it.

In the crackling fire, will you suddenly climb out of a Santa Claus?

If so, will this fire roast the elk that he sledged?

Thinking about it, his consciousness drifted and he gradually became covered with fog.

In this exotic festival, I haven’t been drunk for a long time, and I’ve been drunk once again...
