City in the Sky - the top of civilization, a huge conference room, an important meeting is going on.
Zhou Wenhai was sitting on the chairman's seat. Zhou Wenhai and other shareholders listened intently to Yang Minghua's work report.
"The total revenue of the group last quarter: 24.96 trillion yuan, the attributable net profit in the third quarter: 1.91 trillion yuan, -3.7% year-on-year, and basic earnings per share of 3.78 yuan. In the first half of the year, the group worked hard to develop the starship market and further enhance the shipbuilding industry chain Investment, further investment in scientific research... The group will continue to insist on the development of antimatter energy technology and further strengthen the field of shipbuilding materials in the future..." Yang Ming Hua Taotao continued to talk about his work report.
After a pause, Yang Minghua announced the work arrangements for the next quarter: "In the next quarter plan, we will continue to focus on the starship industry, and at the same time launch the 'super-light speed research project', and continue to be the leader in the aerospace industry. The group will invest in this... "
"Wait a minute, President Yang, has the 'faster-light speed research project' been approved by the shareholders' meeting? Am I not opposed to this plan?" Liu Changchuan suddenly spoke up, interrupting Yang Minghua's speech very abruptly.
"I approved it. The 'space-time wormhole' technology has flaws. The 'super-light speed project' is the future of the starship industry. The Shining Star Group must achieve results in this field so as not to be left behind by other groups." Zhou Wenhai Voiced support for Zhou Wenhaidao.
Hearing this, everyone looked at Zhou Wenhai and frowned.
As the Panshi and Wuheng lost contact one after another, extremely serious flaws appeared in the "space-time wormhole" shuttle problem. The larger the size of the interstellar spacecraft, the greater the accident rate during wormhole shuttles. Some small exploration ships often get lost. The universe has cast a shadow over the "interstellar voyage" era of human civilization.
There are safety flaws in space-time wormholes, and "faster-than-light flight" has become an important technology to continue to develop "interstellar navigation", which is extremely important for Shining Star Group to maintain its position as a leader in aerospace in the future.
"Mr. Zhou, the research and development of the 'Super Light Speed Project' is a bottomless pit. If Mr. Zhou is here, then of course there will be nothing to say. The Shining Star Group is not what it used to be. Once such a big project fails, it will be a crippling thing for us." , I hold an objection." Liu Changchuan firmly objected.
"I agree with Director Liu's judgment. The group still has many areas in urgent need of capital investment. The investment in research and development of 'faster than light flight' is too huge and is not suitable for development." Shareholder Lubus followed up with a statement.
"Mr. Zhou, the sales volume of the 'Caesar' developed by Ximen Group is about to catch up with ours, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' 'Sun Yao' is also competing for orders from the federal government... We now have a wolf in front of us and a tiger behind us, and then we will spend a lot of money on it." Investing money in the 'FTL Project' would be a serious waste of our financial advantage." William Charter added.
"No, you should look further ahead. It is technology that determines the market, not anything else. Shining Star Group has always focused on technology, and the 'faster light speed project' is the future." Zhou Wenhai's face darkened and he retorted.
"Mr. Zhou, we agree with this point of view. However, as far as I know, Ximen Consortium and Sanleng Consortium have achieved certain results in this technology. We are investing in it, but we may be in vain!" Liu Changchuan Looking at Zhou Wenhai, he reminded.
Hearing this, Zhou Wenhai's expression changed slightly and looked particularly ugly.
One wrong move and the whole game is lost.
With the widespread promotion of intelligence-enhancing genetic medicines, the overall IQ of human civilization has been greatly improved. National government agencies and major consortiums have far richer reserves of scientists than the Shining Star Group. After Zhou Xing's disappearance, the Shining Star Group's scientific research The field fell to the altar.
Just like the technology moving towards the speed of light, Shining Star Group can no longer maintain its leadership in many advanced technological fields.
If it weren't for the fact that Shining Star Group still has a solid foundation to support it, in the fiercely competitive technology industry, after 31 years, the era of Shining Star Group would have come to an end long ago.
There was a "buzzing" sound in the conference room, and shareholders started talking.
"Did Ximen Group make a breakthrough in this field? When did it happen?"
"In this case, won't our 'Xingyao 3rd Generation' be blocked?"
"Well, according to reliable information, the speed of Mitsubishi Group's next-generation spacecraft should enter sub-light speed."
“…”
Various technology groups are rising rapidly, but the halo around Shining Star Group is receding, and shareholders all look anxious and very depressed.
"Mr. Zhou, if you insist on having your own way, I have decided to withdraw from Shining Star Group." A shareholder suddenly expressed his position.
"Lao Wan, it was you..." Zhou Wenhai looked at Wan Hongbo in disbelief, not expecting him to say such words in public.
"Mr. Zhou, now and then, Shining Star Group can no longer afford such trouble." Wan Hongbo looked at Zhou Wenhai apologetically, but was unwilling to compromise.
"Mr. Zhou, Xingyao Group is in a very dangerous situation right now. If something goes wrong again, it is likely to fall apart. You can't just go your own way." As soon as Wan Hongbo finished speaking, another shareholder agreed.
"Yes! Mr. Zhou! The FTL project has seriously squeezed the group's liquidity. If there is a slight mistake, the consequences will be disastrous."
“…”
One after another, small shareholders came forward to refute this situation. If Zhou had not controlled more than 51% of the shares of Shining Star Group, he would have been kicked out of Shining Star Group long ago.
A look of exhaustion appeared on Zhou Wenhai's face. Xingyao Group was a company founded by his son Zhou Xing, and he really didn't want to let it be destroyed in his own hands.
But how can the Xingyao Group, which has lost Zhou Xing, break out of the siege and rise again
It’s difficult!
At this moment, an auxiliary robot suddenly walked up to Zhou Wenhai and reported in a low voice.
Suddenly, Zhou Wenhai stood up from his chair in surprise, trembling with excitement.
Seeing this, Zhou Wenhua was startled, and quickly stopped Zhou Wenhai and comforted him: "Brother, please say good things carefully. Don't get excited. Don't get excited."
"It's okay, I'm okay, I'm..." Zhou Wenhai's eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at the panicked shareholders.
Zhou Wenhai suppressed his excitement, glanced at the faces of each shareholder, and announced loudly: "I'm just teasing it today. The FTL project will definitely pass. You are not optimistic about Xingyao Group, are you? You all want to Withdrawing your shares? Okay! Our Zhou family wants all your shares. Anyone who wants to sell can come to me!"
"The meeting is over!"
Zhou Wenhai left the meeting room angrily, fearing that he could not stay any longer and unable to control his ecstatic mood.
"Boss, wait for me!" Zhou Wenhua looked anxious, looked at the shareholders, and said quickly: "Mr. Zhou said something out of anger, please don't take it to heart."
After saying that, Zhou Wenhua couldn't wait to follow Zhou Wenhai, intending to persuade him.
With the departure of the Zhou brothers.
The eyes of the shareholders in the conference room flickered and they were very moved.
The Shining Star Group, which lost Zhou Xing, gradually became ordinary as time went by. Under the encirclement and encirclement of countless powerful groups, the Shining Star Group's stock gradually became a "hot potato". If someone is willing to accept it, then It couldn't be better.
Zhou Wenhai just said it out of anger! Does this matter
He announced it in public, so don't blame them for being unkind and righteous.
In order not to damage their own interests, all the shareholders looked at each other and showed a "cruel" smile.
Yang Minghua, Xie Liwu, Lin Wei and other group elders were worried when they saw this.
Soon, the shareholders dispersed chatting and laughing one by one. Yang Minghua, Xie Liwu, and Lin Wei rushed towards Zhou Wenhai's office anxiously.
"Knock knock..." There was a rapid knock on the door of Zhou Wenhai's office.
"come in!"
Hearing this, Yang Minghua, Xie Liwu, and Lin Wei pushed the door open and were stunned.
I saw Zhou Wenhai and Zhou Wenhua sitting on the sofa in the reception room, looking at them with smiles on their faces, looking very happy.
"I'm right! It must be Minghua and the others." Zhou Wenhai said with a bright smile on his face.
"Haha, Lao Yang, Lao Xie, you must be scared! I was also shocked just now, but it's okay now, don't worry." Zhou Wenhua nodded and smiled, looked at Yang Minghua and the others and comforted them.
"Mr. Hai, do you really want to take back those shares? That's an astronomical sum!" Yang Minghua looked at Zhou Wenhai in shock and reminded.
Xie Liwu was taken aback and asked in surprise: "Mr. Hai, what are your plans? You can't joke about this!"
Zhou Wenhai laughed and waved to Yang Minghua and the others: "Come here and meet your big boss first."
big boss
Yang Minghua, Xie Liwu, and Lin Wei looked at each other, puzzled.
The chairman's office is more than 200 square meters, with built-in lounge, reception room, bar, study... It is luxuriously decorated.
The reception room is located on the right side of the door. Yang Minghua has just walked into the office, Zhou Wenhai, and the scenery in front of Zhou Wenhua is their blind spot.
Hearing this, Yang Minghua, Xie Liwu, and Lin Wei hurriedly walked to the reception room.
In front of Zhou Wenhai and Zhou Wenhua's eyes was a large holographic screen. It turned out that they were having video communication with someone!
Seeing the people on the big holographic screen, Yang Minghua, Xie Liwu, and Lin Wei were all stunned.
"Mr. Zhou?" Yang Minghua called out in disbelief.
"Ha, Lao Yang, Lao Xie, Sister Lin, long time no see!" Zhou Xing greeted them with a smile.
With a "swish" sound, Yang Huahua's eyes suddenly turned red and he asked in a trembling voice: "Mr. Zhou, is it really you, you, you...?"
"Mr. Zhou, are you back?" Xie Liwu trembled with excitement.
"Mr. Zhou, where are you now?" Lin Wei asked ecstatically with wide eyes.
Thirty-one years later, Yang Minghua, Xie Liwu and Lin Wei were so excited that they saw this face that they thought about day and night.
"I'm in the solar system! After listening to dad's suggestion, I will go back after a while." Zhou Xing smiled and replied to everyone
"Understood! Mr. Hai, this is a trick. We will cooperate fully." Yang Minghua nodded excitedly.
"Haha, great! Mr. Zhou, you are back. They will regret it when the time comes." Xie Liwu laughed heartily, as if he could already see the shareholders beating their chests and feet.
Lin Wei's face was full of joy. Don't be too frustrated by their work these years. If they hadn't witnessed the rise of Shining Star Group from scratch and couldn't let go of this emotion, they would have just retired. , to avoid having to serve that group of shareholders.
Now, with one move, Zhou Wenhai can almost drive out all those annoying shareholders from the Shining Star Group. When Zhou Xing returns, it will be the "rebirth" of the Shining Star Group.
"Mr. Hai, if you want to take back the equity of Xingyao Group, it will cost a lot of money!" Yang Minghua frowned and looked at Zhou Wenhai.
Hearing this, the entire reception room fell into silence.
Over the years, because of the loss of Zhou Xing, the main force in R&D, Shining Star Group's R&D speed in various high-tech fields has seriously declined. It can be said that these years have been supported by Shining Star Group's rich background.
However, with the outstanding helper "Zhou Xiaozhi", the economic size of Shining Star Group has still expanded to an astonishing level, and the funds required to recover the released equity are an unimaginable amount.
"We will obtain part of the funds through equity pledge, and we will figure out how to deal with the rest." Zhou Wenhai smiled bitterly, who said otherwise!
"Strip off an asset! If someone wants it, the airship manufacturing factory can be sold," Zhou Xing suggested with a smile.
"Mr. Zhou, the shipbuilding industry is now the hottest field, and the airship manufacturing plant is a top priority. How can it be transferred?" Yang Minghua stared at Zhou Xing in disbelief.
In the age of interstellar navigation, the most important field is the manufacturing of interstellar spaceships. Large and small chaebols are swarming into this field, regardless of blood, just to gain a little market share. The spacecraft manufacturing field covers all aspects, and a little market share is enough Support hundreds of industries up and down.
It can be said that the interstellar manufacturing field is the main field of Shining Star Group. Once it loses this industry, Shining Star Group will also lose the "crown" above its head.
"Is it possible? Mr. Zhou, have you mastered more advanced shipbuilding technology?" Yang Minghua seemed to have remembered something and looked at Zhou Xing and asked in surprise.
Hearing this, everyone perked up and looked at Zhou Xing with bright eyes, looking forward to his answer.
Now that Mr. Zhou is back, it’s time for the Shining Star Group to subvert the human world again!
"Absolutely!" Zhou Xing smiled and nodded, and then told everyone: "I will discuss this issue when I get back. The current shipbuilding industry is too backward. Everything that can be sold is sold. I asked Xiaozhi to make a list. You just carry out your mission!"
"Understood! Understood! We promise to complete the task!" Yang Minghua nodded excitedly.
Yang Minghua, Xie Liwu, and Lin Wei looked at each other, their eyes full of joy. It was this feeling, the mysterious and exciting feeling that came back.
The King is back, those scumbags who compete with the Star Festival Group, prepare to tremble!
Yang Minghua, Xie Liwu and Lin Wei were enthusiastic and energetic.
