After the scandal broke out at Shining Star Group, a major personnel adjustment was made, and then, under people's attention, it quickly returned to silence.
The appearance that everyone expected Zhou Xing, chairman of Shining Star Group, did not happen.
The sun rises and the moon sets, the stars rotate, and time flies by day by day.
The Shining Star Group scandal was soon forgotten by people, and the world's attention focused on the political confrontation between the two major powers in the world.
The United States is a long-established world power. It has been firmly ranked first in the world in science and technology, economy, finance, and military for decades. It has a unique geographical environment and occupies most of the world's shipping lanes. It has as many as 374 overseas military bases distributed throughout the world. More than 300,000 troops are stationed in more than 140 countries and regions; they firmly control the maritime throats: the Gulf of Alaska, the Korean Strait, the Indonesian Makassar Strait, the Sunda Strait, the Malacca Strait, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait at the southern end of the Red Sea, and the Suez Canal at the northern end. , … etc.
Relying on its powerful military power, the United States federal government has united with most countries in the world to implement an all-round blockade.
However, China has always maintained a mandatory policy of food self-sufficiency, actively developed new energy applications, and reduced dependence on external energy. At the same time, the country has various complete industrial chains, coupled with the strong productivity of intelligent machinery manufacturing, the huge Human resources, under the all-round blockade of the U.S. federal government, not only did the national economy not collapse, but it took advantage of the opportunity to rein in the domestic forces of U.S. capital, prioritize domestic troubles, engage in construction, and actively expand externally.
The direction of the world's political landscape is closely related to the lives of all mankind.
The shadow of war has shrouded the world, resulting in a sharp decline in large-scale international transactions, skyrocketing resource prices, economic crisis, rising unemployment... With numerous economic problems, people feel that life is becoming more and more difficult.
However, the war started by the US federal government cannot be easily stopped. For China, the Gulf Islands issue is non-negotiable and mediation by various countries is useless. No one knows how long this political confrontation will last.
The two countries have continued to carry out large-scale military demonstrations. China has unveiled its robot combat troops, and the United States, not to be outdone, has unveiled combat mechas.
The two major powers in the world have no choice but to embark on the path of arms race.
The atmosphere of war surrounds the world all the time.
A year has passed in the blink of an eye. The competition between the two big countries has made people live in the shadow of war, and they are frightened. People gradually forget the influence of a certain person on the world.
…
In the headquarters building of Shining Star Group, a regular weekly meeting is taking place.
A knock on the door interrupted Yang Minghua's speech.
"Please come in!" Yang Minghua stopped speaking and looked at the door with a frown.
With a creak, the door was pushed open. The female secretary reported to Yang Minghua and said: "Mr. Yang, after receiving the notice, Mr. Zhou has temporarily decided to attend the regular meeting and will arrive in about fifteen minutes."
"Well, thank you!" Yang Minghua nodded in surprise.
The female secretary quickly left.
Yang Minghua looked at the others and said in conclusion: "Mr. Zhou is coming over later. Let me make a long story short. The group's profits this quarter have dropped significantly, especially in the materials field. Boosted by military demand, there should have been good profits. However, in the civilian direction Development efforts are seriously lagging behind, and the next work should focus on... the medical field... "
At the meeting, Yang Minghua quickly summarized the matters of this meeting and established the work arrangements for the next cycle of the group.
Soon, a sound of "bah, bah" footsteps came from outside the gate from far to near.
Everyone was shocked and looked out the door. Zhou Xing's figure immediately came into view.
Zhou Xing was seen wearing blue jeans on his lower body and a white shirt on his upper body. He had an angular face with a smile, slowly walking towards them, like a tail, following the small robot closely behind Zhou Xing as usual.
The small robot is about one meter tall. It has a white ceramic body that is round and smooth. Its small face covered with high-grade silicone is somewhat similar to Zhou Xing's. It has a pair of sapphire-shaped electronics. The overall appearance looks both sci-fi and cute.
"Mr. Zhou, good morning!"
Seeing Zhou Xing, everyone couldn't help but stood up and welcomed him.
Zhou Xing walked directly to the chairman's seat and greeted everyone with a smile: "Sit down! Sit down! You're welcome."
After saying that, Zhou Xing sat down, and everyone followed suit one by one.
"Mr. Zhou, do you have anything urgent to announce?" Yang Minghua looked at Zhou Xing curiously and asked.
It has been a long time since Zhou Xing showed up in the group meeting room. Unknowingly, they have become accustomed to Zhou Xing not attending meetings. The group's office system is very powerful. Even if Zhou Xing does not attend the meeting and acts as a hands-off shopkeeper, he can ensure that the group Keep running steadily.
However, Yang Minghua couldn't help but feel very curious when he suddenly made an exception to attend the meeting today.
Zhou Xing smiled slightly and did not directly answer Yang Minghua's words. Instead, he asked him: "Are there any special holidays recently?"
Hearing this, Yang Minghua couldn't help but be startled: "Today is September 11th. There seems to be no important date in the near future! What are you going to do, Mr. Zhou?"
"Well! Since there isn't one, let's create one! On September 15th, I will hold a press conference." Zhou Xing announced to everyone with a smile.
More than two years have passed, and Zhou Xing has not come up with any new inventions. Today, he suddenly attended the meeting, and no one thought about it.
Now, after listening to Zhou Xing's high-spirited propaganda, everyone was stunned.
"Mr. Zhou, has your research made any progress?"
"Create a festival, what kind of festival, Mr. Zhou, can you introduce it to us?"
"Mr. Zhou, what exactly did you invent?"
“…”
With a "boom", the meeting site was in commotion. Yang Minghua, Lin Wei, Chen Fan, Xie Liwu... all looked at Zhou Xing excitedly and asked questions feverishly.
"Hurry up and arrange the venue. You have been waiting for four days. You have been patient for four days. I will announce this news on the stage." Zhou Xing smiled and shook his head.
Hearing this, everyone's eyes widened and they all looked at Zhou Xing angrily. They all gasped and started "gnashing their teeth".
"Mr. Zhou, you can't do this! We have been with you for so long, so we should give you some privileges at least!"
"No way! Mr. Zhou! How can you make us survive these four days like this!"
"Mr. Zhou, this is a breakthrough in life-extending biotechnology! That's right!"
“…”
Yang Minghua, Lin Wei, Xie Liwu... The senior executives of Xingyao Group seemed to be drunk collectively. They were all blushing and questioning Zhou Xing excitedly.
Zhou Xing smiled and said nothing, nodded to everyone, and then shook his head, making everyone dumbfounded.
What does Mr. Zhou mean by this
Everyone stared at Zhou Xing and went crazy.
"Mr. Zhou has made a breakthrough in life-extending biotechnology? How many years can we extend our lives?" Yang Minghua panted heavily and asked through gritted teeth.
Everyone looked at Zhou Xing with bated breath, nervously.
Extending lifespan is the dream of human beings. Everyone present is the senior manager of Xingyao Group. The youngest among them is more than fifteen years older than Zhou Xing. With considerable wealth, the only thing they fear is physical aging and the end of life. .
Now Zhou Xing announced that a new research result has come out, and it is a special result that can be celebrated by creating a festival.
Everyone invariably thought of the life-extending biotechnology being developed by Zhou Xing.
Facing everyone's gaze, Zhou Xing smiled and shook his head: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you! Life extension biotechnology is not that easy to break through."
After hearing this, everyone's expectations were disappointed and they were immediately extremely disappointed.
"Not life-extending biotechnology? What is that?" Chen Fan looked at Zhou Xing and asked persistently.
Zhou Xing glanced at the disappointed people and smiled mysteriously: "It is a research result in the field of biology and energy. You hurry up and arrange the venue. I will announce the specific content in public."
Hearing this, everyone was speechless for a while and were very dissatisfied with Zhou Xing's explanation. However, he was the big boss and his decision was an order.
"President Zhou, let's hold this press conference in the lobby on the first floor of the headquarters!" Yang Minghua suggested to Zhou Xing.
Zhou Xing nodded with satisfaction and arranged: "Well, let Xiaozhi cooperate with you in your work."
"clear!"
Hearing this, Yang Minghua nodded understandingly and looked at the small robot behind Zhou Xing, very curious about its abilities.
This robot called "Xiao Zhi" is the chairman's intelligent assistant. If Yang Minghua guessed correctly, the entire operating system of the group is under its jurisdiction. However, how strong its capabilities are, because Zhou Xing's Deliberately concealed, no one in the entire group knew.
Four days is neither long nor short.
Under Zhou Xiaozhi's "instructions", the staff at the Shining Star Group headquarters were busy setting up the venue for the press conference, as if they had been given "chicken blood".
…
The headquarters of Global News, a vast office area, is a busy place. Editors, people talking on the phone, people printing documents are all busy collecting and compiling current news from all over the world.
The sound of footsteps, the sound of documents being turned, the sound of voices... the entire office area was as lively as a vegetable market.
At this time, a white editor who had just received the call suddenly jumped up from his seat.
"What! Say it again?" The white editor looked shocked and asked loudly for confirmation on the other end of the phone.
"Xingyao Group! Press conference? Really? Really? Are you sure?" The white editor was excited and rushed to the phone to verify again and again.
The white editor spoke on the phone very loudly, covering many people.
Suddenly, the entire office area seemed to have been pressed on the freeze button. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the white editor who was talking on the phone.
"Hans, who is the person you are talking to? Is Shining Star Group going to hold a press conference?" As soon as the white editor hung up the phone, someone immediately asked.
"Yes! Yes! On the 15th, the staff of Xingyao Group asked us if we wanted to participate." Hans's dull eyes regained his energy and he replied loudly while looking at everyone.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and then there was a "crash" and the entire office area immediately became a mess.
"Oh God! Is the thing you are most worried about finally happening again?"
"Participate! We must attend this press conference!"
"Miracle Zhou, who has been silent for more than two years, is about to create another miracle. We are finished!"
“…”
In the spacious office area, screams and sighs came and went, and everyone was shocked by this amazing news.
With no time to pay attention to everyone, Hans ran quickly to the office of his top boss, the editor-in-chief Wollaston.
Facing the ajar door of the office, Hans broke in without knocking.
Wollaston, who was sitting in front of the computer reviewing documents, was startled when Hans rushed in.
Wollaston looked at Hans angrily and asked loudly: "Hans, what are you doing!"
"BOSS! Shining Star Group called to hold a product launch event on Friday this week, and they invited us to attend!" Hans took two deep breaths and reported to Wollaston.
With a "pop", Wollaston, who was originally angry with Hans, suddenly stood up from his chair.
Wollaston looked at Hans with wide eyes and asked excitedly: "Really? What did you say? Are you sure?"
"Yes! BOSS, the call is from Beijing. The news that Shining Star Group is about to hold a press conference is true, absolutely true!" Hans looked at Wollaston excitedly and answered firmly.
"Really? Is this news true?" Wollaston suddenly felt lost.
"Yes, BOSS! It's true! I have verified the other party's identity." Hans nodded and confirmed.
Wollaston took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and ordered: "Quick, quick, put this message up immediately. Get ready, take Joanna and Lianne, and leave for Beijing immediately. ."
"Understood! BOSS!" Hans nodded in agreement. Before he finished speaking, he turned around and rushed out of the office.
Watching Hans disappear quickly, Wollaston sat down on the chair. The expression on his face was sometimes excited, sometimes lost, sometimes confused... constantly changing, and his expression was extremely complex.
After a few minutes, Wollaston stared at a written document on the LCD screen and cleared it with a look of regret.
Wollaston turned to look at the setting sun outside the floor-to-ceiling window. In the dark, he seemed to see the fate of the country like the setting sun, spreading its last afterglow.
What happened in the Global News office area is also happening in the headquarters of various media companies around the world.
On September 15th, Shining Star Group will hold a grand product launch conference. As soon as this news came out, the entire world's media collectively lost their voice.
"On September 15th, the world will focus on the Shining Star Group's press conference. After the flying car, the genius scientist Zhou Xing will create another miracle."
"The genius scientist Zhou Xing shows off his power again, and the conflict between the two countries may come to an end."
"He is back, are your hearts ready? Let us look forward to it together on September 15th!"
"The pace has not stopped. What kind of scientific miracle will he create this time?"
“…”
At this moment, there is almost only one voice left in the world. Compared with the news that Shining Star Group is about to hold a press conference, other news has obviously become unimportant. Various eye-catching news headlines appear all over the world. Home page of the media's news website.
Suddenly, the whole world's eyes were focused on Shining Star Group, waiting for the arrival of September 15th.
