…
"With the notarization from China Bank, it cannot be faked."
It has to start with an old popsicle who suddenly wakes up and the huge inheritance in his hands.
His name is Zhong Ziyu, one of the managing directors of East Asia Power and a member of the investment strategy committee of the board of directors. Unlike Liu Zhengxing, who has a Chinese character face, he is not sitting here as an individual shareholder, but appointed by the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. He can be regarded as a professional executive with a professional background.
"This is indeed a good idea," the slightly stout man's eyes lit up and he said immediately, "If he takes the lead, there may be hope for it to happen."
"What makes sense?"
Before Liu Zhengxing had time to speak, a slightly stout man sitting not far away from him spoke eagerly.
Seeing that the topic on the conference table had begun to stray, Zhong Ziyu coughed slightly, interrupting everyone's thinking, pushed up his glasses and said.
Of course, he did not deny that the man did have the ability to do so.
"These are a bunch of rip-offs!"
Having said this, the man with glasses smiled faintly and continued, "However, it is meaningless to talk about the ancients. It is better for us to talk about current issues."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Chairman Liu's tight poker face across the conference table.
"Maybe things could get interesting?"
With 1.3% of the shares, he is the largest shareholder of East Asia Power and has been the chairman of the board for five years. Apart from him, those sitting at the conference table at this moment are basically core members of the board of directors or representatives sent by major shareholders such as the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and China Banking Corporation.
"Later facts proved that such an idealized model could not persist. The core R&D department of a high-tech company does not have profit as its first purpose, unless they have too much money and no place to spend it."
"... Even if the 20-year patent period has passed and after several rounds of technology upgrades, East Asia Electric Power no longer needs to pay patent fees to Starry Sky Technology. The annual dividends from the East Asia Power shares held by Starry Sky Technology will still be astronomical. Figures. With the support of this fund, even if the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study is a money-losing business, it will not fall into bankruptcy."
As for why they are sitting here having this meeting...
"That person may not understand scientific research, but he knows enough about Star Technology's business. It's rare for a company to reach the top 100 or even the top ten in the world by relying on personal abilities rather than business models. Obviously Star Technology is such a monster, and its core competitiveness is not the Institute for Advanced Study, but Academician Lu himself as the dean."
In line with the principle of not offending others, he changed his words without leaving any trace in the middle of the sentence, and did not say anything too serious.
"Who do you think that person might be?"
He tapped his index finger lightly on the table, and after glancing at the directors who were looking towards him, he gently pushed down the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and continued to speak.
"There is something."
As he was talking, the director of the Financial Management Committee suddenly noticed that Chairman Liu had an unnatural look on his face.
"That person had a premonition that Starry Sky Technology's 'abnormal' business model would fail to operate sooner or later after losing Academician Lu, so he made two preparations in advance and transferred important assets from Starry Sky Technology in advance."
He took a deep breath and quickly calmed down after getting angry.
Excluding the portion held by large institutions such as the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and China Banking Corporation, Academician Lu, who holds 7% or more of the equity, will undoubtedly become the largest individual shareholder of East Asia Power.
"If he's interested in being on the board... "
As a few holographic lights and shadows dispersed, the originally crowded conference table instantly became empty.
Looking at him with a sinking face, Liu Zhengxing spoke.
The cold winter in January has not yet ended, and there is still a hint of chill in the streets of the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration. However, the atmosphere in the Dongdian Building, located on the bank of the Pearl River estuary, is so hot that it makes people sweat.
The meeting started.
In the office of the board of directors, the man with a Chinese-shaped face loosened the collar of his formal suit, as if to relieve the tension in his heart, and muttered to himself.
The man wearing gold-rimmed glasses pushed up his glasses, sighed softly, and said, "Actually, a long time ago, probably when I was still studying business at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, I was thinking about this issue. Why does the AIIB When Star Technology liquidated its assets, there was no mention of East Asia Electric Power in the file.”
About an hour ago, they received a call from the relevant departments, stating that a frozen equity stake would be released in the near future. They hoped that they would make information disclosure and related preparations to avoid affecting the normal operations of the company.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately aroused thousands of waves.
Liu Zhengxing, Chairman of East Asia Power.
His index finger tapped lightly on the conference table, and a blue beam of light, in the shape of a cubic cone, lit up from the chair directly opposite him.
After waiting quietly for a few seconds, a virtual figure that looked like a puppet model in an old-fashioned clothing store gradually appeared from the holographic beam.
Probably thinking of something, his expression immediately became a little intriguing, and he said thoughtfully.
"These 20% of the shares are in the hands of an old popsicle... How did they get here all these years?"
"As the heir to Starry Sky Technology, only she has the opportunity to do so, and only she has the ability to do so. Her teacher is the famous Professor Krugman. I believe that anyone who has studied economics will be familiar with his " "The Theory of Crisis Prediction" and its accurate prediction of the economic crisis in the middle of the 21st century are no strangers... Not to mention, she herself is a Nobel Prize winner in economics."
"Don't dream about this...it's impossible for the AIIB to approve it."
Not daring to take a breath, the secretary showed an expression of relief on his face and quickly exited the conference room.
These are all matters of vital interest, and no one knows what impact this matter may have on East Asia Electric Power's operations.
"According to the new securities law, the asset ownership of dormant persons is frozen during the freezing period. In other words, in the past century, they did not need to consider the part that belonged to Academician Lu... Of course, from now on, they have to Considered."
At this time, the director of the Financial Management Committee, who had never spoken before, spoke in cautious words.
"You're still only counting East Asia Power's part," another director said with an envious expression on his face, "If I remember correctly, Star Technology still held 20% of East Asia Communications' shares back then... Undersea Although optical cables are not as profitable as our power generation, their market value is not small."
At least the button is already in his hand...
"I just want to know now, are those certificates real?"
It is no exaggeration to say that the equity he holds is even greater than the total share of shares circulating in the market. And with this unimaginably huge wealth, the world's richest man is a modest statement. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is as rich as any country.
This sentence was heard by the secretary standing behind him.
"If my guess is correct, it should be Lu Zhou's sister—Lu Xiaotong."
"Is the air conditioner turned on too much?"
"What the hell, let's just merge and form the East Asia Group! By integrating energy, communications, and industry, we will be the oligarch of the new world."
Thinking of the meaningful words of the bespectacled man when he left, he felt annoyed in his heart.
What a joke!
After more than a hundred years, the largest individual shareholder of East Asia Power only holds 1.3% of the shares.
"I'll go out and ask—"
"yes."
The atmosphere at the conference table became uncontrollable for a time.
"But now, it all makes sense."
A huge oligarch is harmful to the economy of Pan-Asian cooperation and will harm their interests in the long run. Naturally, they cannot agree to such a thing.
"Actually, I don't think Academician Lu's return is necessarily a bad thing. At least judging from the market's reaction, the vast majority of rating agencies have given this matter a positive or above rating... "
"Everything is arranged." There was a trace of imperceptible admiration in the pupils behind the gold-rimmed glasses. After a pause, Zhong Ziyu continued, "There is a very clever trader. This person is as shrewd as No less than the first CEO of Star Technology - Ms. Chen."
Except for a few core members of the board of directors, the other directors all had envious expressions on their faces. So much so that one of the directors, who had never spoken a word from beginning to end, couldn't help but complain.
"In any case, I suggest that you contact Lu Zhou first and find out what his side of the story is. If he only intends to take dividends, it should not have any impact on East Asia Electric Power's operations."
"I need your help."
As the largest investment bank in Asia, in addition to considering economic benefits, they also have to consider the possible impact of every decision on the economic environment and society.
"... Of course, this is just my inference based on the market's reaction. As for whether Academician Lu's return can have a positive impact on East Asia Power, it needs to be analyzed in detail. My suggestion is to contact him first and see. Does he have the idea of joining the board of directors? If he is not interested in the company's operations, there is no need for us to be too nervous."
The short man stood up immediately like a reflex, and his rash movements almost knocked the chair to the ground.
Under his leadership, East Asia Electric Power has maintained stable performance growth for five consecutive years. Just because of an old antique who has come back to life, he has to give up his power.
The fat man asked curiously.
Liu Zhengxing and his secretary were the only two people left in the huge conference room.
"7% of the equity. If I calculated correctly, he should have this much stock in his hands," he sighed softly, and a director sitting at the conference table said in an envious tone, "Such a big one. All this wealth is in the hands of one person. Damn it... in the entire Pan-Asian cooperation, I'm afraid there's no one richer than him."
Looking at the conference room door closed and the empty conference table, Liu Zhengxing suddenly grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it to the ground.
Over the past century, the equity structure of East Asia Electric Power has been basically quite stable. There has been no major equity change involving more than 5% of the shares in the past half century.
Realized something immediately.
"get out."
No matter what the probability of success is.
I don’t know who started this. The good-looking board of directors has completely turned into a lemon meeting.
The few people who came to the meeting packed up the things on the table, nodded to Director Liu who was sitting at the head, and then hurriedly left the meeting room.
"No need," the man with the Chinese character face continued with a serious expression, looking at the digital clock flashing on the conference table, "the meeting will start soon."
Looking at the quiet conference room, Zhong Ziyu pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and continued in a serious tone.
"Who on earth has been working hard for East Asia Electric Power! How dare these white-eyed wolves do this!"
Therefore, it is nothing more than making them so nervous.
The meeting is over.
There was a brief silence in the conference room.
Looking at the man with all the details of his facial features blurred, Liu Zhengxing took a deep breath, his originally sullen expression softened a little, and he spoke in a voice that could not tell the joy or anger.
