The cold winter of January is not over yet. The streets of the Yangtze River Delta city cluster are still cold. However, the East power tower, which is located on the Bank of the Pearl River Estuary, is now hot and sweaty.

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

"Is the air conditioner on too much?"

The words were heard by the Secretary standing behind him.

I saw that man with the a short head, immediately stood up like a reflex, and almost knocked his chair to ground with the reckless action.

"I'll go out and ask --"

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

Liu Zhengxing, chairman of East Asia power.

With a 1.3% stake, it is the largest shareholder of East Asia power, and has been sitting in the position of chairman for five years. Besides him, those who are sitting at the conference table at this moment are basically the core members of the board of directors or representatives sent by the major shareholders such as the aiib and the Bank of China.

As for why they sit here for this meeting

It started with an old popsicle who suddenly woke up and the huge legacy he had in his hand.

The meeting began.

Before Liu Zhengxing could speak, a slightly fat man sitting not far away from him could not wait to speak.

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

About an hour ago, they received a phone call from the relevant departments, saying that there was a frozen share right about to be lifted in the near future, hoping that they would do a good job in information publicity and related preparations to avoid affecting the normal operation of the enterprise.

As soon as the news came out, it aroused thousands of waves.

Since this century, the equity structure of East Asia power has been basically stable, involving major equity changes of more than 5% shares, which has not happened in nearly half a century.

So it's nothing more than making them nervous.

This is a matter of vital interest. 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 with gold rimmed glasses pushed his glasses, sighed softly, and said, "in fact, a long time ago, when I was studying business at Shanghai Jiaotong University, I was thinking about this problem. Why did the Asian investment bank liquidate the assets of star technology when the files did not involve the part of East Asia power at all? "

His name is Zhong Ziyu, one of the managing directors of East Asia power, and director of the investment strategy committee of the board of directors. Unlike Liu Zhengxing, who has a Chinese face, he is not sitting here as an individual shareholder, but a professional executive appointed by the aiib.

His index finger lightly clicked on the table and looked around at the directors who came to him. Then he gently pushed the gold rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and continued.

“…… Even after 20 years of patent period, and after several rounds of technology upgrading, East Asia power has no need to pay patent fees to star technology. The annual dividend of those shares of East Asia power held by star technology is still an astronomical figure. With this fund support, even if Jinling Institute of higher learning is a money losing business, it will not fall into bankruptcy. "

"But now it makes sense."

Looking at him like water, Liu Zhengxing said.

"What makes sense?"

"Everything is arranged," said Zhong Ziyu after a pause. "There is a very clever operator, who is no less astute than the first CEO of star technology, Ms. Chen."

"That person may not know about scientific research, but he knows enough about the business of star technology. Few enterprises have achieved the top 100 or even top 10 position in the world by relying on their own capabilities rather than business models. Obviously, star technology is such a monster. Its core competitiveness is not higher research institutes, but academician Lu as the president himself. "

"The man had a premonition that after the loss of academician Lu, Star Technology's" abnormal "business model would not work sooner or later, so he made two preparations in advance, and transferred important assets out of the name of Star Technology in advance."

"Later facts proved that such an idealized model could not be persisted. The core R & D Department of a high-tech enterprise does not take profit as the first goal, unless they have too much money to spend. "

The fat man asked curiously.

"Who do you think that person might be?"

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

"As the successor of star technology, only she has the opportunity to do so, and only she has the ability to do so. Her teacher is a famous professor Krugman, who believes that anyone who has studied economics will not be unfamiliar with his "theory of crisis prediction" and his accurate prediction of the economic crisis in the middle of the 21st century Let alone, she is the Nobel Laureate in economicsSpeaking of this, the optician smiled lightly and continued, "but it's not meaningful to talk about the ancients. We'd better talk about the current problems."

There was a brief silence in the meeting room.

At this time, the director of the financial management committee, who has never spoken before, said in cautious words.

"In fact, I think academician Lu's return is not necessarily a bad thing. At least from the reaction of the market, most rating agencies have given a positive and above evaluation on this matter... "

Just as he was speaking, the director of the financial management committee suddenly noticed that the look on Chairman Liu's face was a little unnatural.

Immediately realized what.

In line with the principle of not offending people, he changed his mouth when he said half of it without trace, and didn't say it too dead.

“…… Of course, this is just my inference from the market reaction. As for whether academician Lu's return can have a positive impact on East Asia power, we need to analyze the specific situation. My suggestion is to contact him first to see if he has the idea of entering the board of directors. If he is not interested in the operation of the company, in fact, we don't need to be too nervous. "

"7% equity, if I'm right, he should have so many shares," said a director at the meeting table with a slight sigh, enviously. "Such a large fortune is in one's hand. Damn it The whole Pan Asian cooperation, I'm afraid, can't find anyone with more money than him. "

After more than 100 years, the largest individual shareholder of East Asia power only holds 1.3% of the shares.

Apart from the shares held by big institutions such as aiib and Bank of China, academician Lu, who holds 7% or more of the shares, will become the largest individual shareholder of electric power in East Asia without any suspense.

It's no exaggeration to say that the shares he holds are even more than the total shares in the market. And with this huge and unimaginable wealth, the richest people in the world are modest. It's not too much to say that they are rich and can be enemy countries.

"You still only count East Asia power," said another director, with an envious expression on his face. "If I remember correctly, Star Technology held 20% of East Asia Communication shares in that year Although submarine cable is not as profitable as our power generation, its market value is not small. "

The atmosphere on the conference table was once out of control.

I don't know who started the meeting. A good board of directors has completely turned into a lemon meeting.

Except for a few core members of the board of directors, the other directors can't envy each other. So that from a to Z, one of the directors make complaints about it.

"The 20% stake is in the hands of an old popsicle How did they come here all these years? "

"Under the new securities law, during the freezing period, the ownership of the assets of the dormant is frozen. That is to say, in the past century, they don't need to consider the part that belongs to academician Lu Now, of course, they have to think about it. "

"Well, let's just merge and establish the East Asia Group! With the integration of energy, communication and industry, we are the oligarchs of the new world. "

"It's really a good idea," the slightly obese man said as soon as his eyes brightened. "If he leads, maybe it will be possible."

Seeing that the topic on the conference table has started to deviate, Zhong Ziyu coughs gently, interrupts people's brain holes, pushes down his glasses and says.

"Don't dream about this It's impossible for the aiib to approve it. "

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

A huge oligarch is harmful to the Pan Asian cooperation economy. In the long run, it will harm their interests. Naturally, they cannot agree to such things.

Of course, he does not deny that the man has the ability to do so.

No matter what the probability of success is.

At least, the button is in his hand

Looking at the quiet meeting room, Zhong Ziyu pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and continued in a serious voice.

"In any case, I suggest contacting with the boat first to find out what he said. If he is only going to eat dividends, it should not have any impact on the operation of East Asia power. "

"If he is interested in joining the board of Directors..."

As he said that, his eyes fell on the opposite side of the conference table, on Chairman Liu's tight poker face.

Perhaps he thought of something, and his expression immediately became somewhat intriguing, he said thoughtfully.

"Things may be interesting?"

……

The meeting is over.

As several holograms disappeared, the original crowded conference table became empty in an instant.A few people who came to the meeting gathered the things on the table, nodded to Liu Dong, who was sitting in the first place, and then left the meeting room in a hurry.

Liu Zhengxing and his secretary are the only two people left in the huge conference room.

"You go out."

"Yes."

The atmosphere did not dare to breathe, the Secretary's face showed a relieved expression, and quickly left the conference room.

Seeing 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 eats grass from inside and outside!"

"Who in the world has been working hard for East Asia power! How dare these white eyed wolves do that! "

The thought of the meaningful words that the spectacled man had said when he left, made him angry.

Under his leadership, East Asia electric power has maintained stable growth of performance for five consecutive years. Because of a dead and alive antique, it is necessary to let him give up the power in hand.

Are you kidding me!?

He took a deep breath. After the fire, he soon calmed down.

The index finger lightly clicked on the conference table, and a bright blue beam of light, cube shaped, came from the chair directly opposite him.

After a few seconds of quiet waiting, a virtual human image, like a puppet model in an old-fashioned clothing store, gradually emerged from the holographic beam.

Looking at the man whose facial features and details were all blurred, Liu Zhengxing took a deep breath. His sullen expression converged a little, and he said in a voice unable to hear his joy and anger.

"There is one thing."

"I need your help."
