"But it isn't." Chief Scientist Rum insisted. He was a white German man in his sixties. He was bald and beardless, but this made him look more intelligent.
"I know!" Lorraine kicked the seat next to him in frustration. "I'm just letting you hold on for a few days! It's not like we're going to apply for a patent right away. What's the rush?! "
"As long as it's not time to make it public, won't people believe whatever you say?" Lorraine took a deep breath and patiently persuaded the chief scientist, Rum.
"Also, I won't let you take responsibility for nothing." "As long as you help me weather this storm, if the stock price can reach five hundred dollars by tomorrow, I'll give you stock options!"
Chief Scientist Rum's pupils shrank sharply, and he immediately asked shrewdly, "Options? How much? "
"This number." Lorraine wrote a number on a piece of paper and pushed it in front of him. "If the stock price goes up to five hundred dollars tomorrow, you'll be a billionaire."
For Rum, although the field of science was fascinating, only the charm of money could not be resisted.
"Deal!" He immediately high-fived Lorraine and took the note that Lorraine had just written. Of course, he did not forget to have Lorraine sign it...
After Rum left, Lorraine sat alone in the conference room for a while. The expression on his face kept changing, just like the weather in New York in June.
He was the last to leave the conference room.
When he walked out of the conference room, his face had already changed into a warm and elegant smile. His arms were swinging unhurriedly as he calmly left the New York laboratory.
Tomorrow, he would go to the New York Stock Exchange. He would give an important speech there. It would be an important speech for the whole world and mankind.
…
The New York Stock Exchange was located at 11 Wall Street in Lower Manhattan, New York. It was a ten-story building with ancient Greek Renaissance style.
At seven o 'clock the next morning, the street lamps on both sides of the street were still dimly lit.
Lorraine rode the bulletproof Rolls-Royce Phantom to the entrance of the New York Stock Exchange.
This was the stock exchange with the largest trading volume in the world. It was also the stock exchange with the longest history. This building alone had a history of more than a hundred years.
Of course, the history of stock trading itself was even longer, at least two to three hundred years.
There was no doubt that Lorraine's speech here would have a huge impact on the world.
Standing on the bell-ringing balcony above the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange, Lorraine felt like he was facing the history of mankind.
Below the stage was an electronic trading screen flashing with blue light.
The bustling traders wore badges on their chests and looked at the man standing on the balcony warily.
This man used to call the wind and summon the rain in the world financial market, but he was once suppressed by the plummeting stock prices and almost turned white overnight.
Today, he stood here again, facing his battlefield, facing the whole world, facing the entire human race.
After the market closed last night, they received a notice saying that before the market reopened today, the chairman of the Lorler Group, Mr. Lorler the Third, would be here to give a speech and announce a very important discovery.
This news alone caused the price of the Lohler Group's shares to soar to a hundred US dollars per share on the stock exchanges around the world. This far exceeded the twenty US dollar "barrier" that stock analysts had once estimated. It even made their forecast of thirty US dollars a joke.
Trading before the market opened this morning also showed a lot of shorting.
The traders were frantically closing out their positions.
Everyone's mood was just like the stock price of the Lohler Group before the market opened, rising steadily.
Lorler noticed it as well.
This was all within his expectations.
He already knew that as long as the "perfect genes" became a reality, the bears who shorted the stock market would all lose money!
However, his expression was still very calm. It was the kind of indifference and gentleness that came from someone who had been through a lot.
Only he knew that in order to achieve this, the sharp awl in his palm had already pierced himself until he bled.
Because his calmness was completely achieved through the intense pain. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would not be able to control his racing heartbeat and jump off the small balcony …
…
At nine o 'clock, Lorler calmly held a small hammer and knocked on the control panel in front of him.
The bell rang and lasted for a total of ten seconds.
When the bell ended, the stock market opened.
All the traders began to multitask. On one hand, they stared at the stock price in front of them, while on the other hand, they listened to the white-haired middle-aged man, Lorler, who stood on the balcony of the trading floor.
Not long after, his English with a British accent rang out in every corner of the New York Stock Exchange floor. It was also broadcast live on television to the rest of the world.
"Ladies and gentlemen, how are you?"
"I am Lorler the Third, the chairman of the Lohler Group. I am also the decision-maker for the orphanages, laboratories, and various scientific research institutions that the Lohler Group has funded.
"I know that in the past month, there have been many rumors about the Lohler Group spreading around the world.
"Here, I would like to reserve the right to sue all the media and netizens who created and spread the rumors.
"What I want to tell you is that everything they said is false!"
"The Lohler Group has always been committed to giving back to society and working hard to build a better and more advanced human society!
"Our orphanages have taken in tens of thousands of orphans!
"Our laboratories have made countless discoveries that are beneficial to human health!
"Our scientific research institutions have always been working hard for the future of humanity!
"Today, I stand here to tell everyone that the Lohler Group has invested a huge amount of money in genetic research over the past hundred years has finally achieved a breakthrough!"
His voice paused for a moment, and his gaze looked into the distance as if he was looking into the distant future.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat. They involuntarily stopped what they were doing and looked even more nervously at Lorler, who was standing on the small balcony of the trading hall. They had no idea what kind of sensational words he was going to say.
Lorler waited until everyone's attention was on him before retracting his gaze. His voice suddenly rose an octave.
"Today, I would like to announce that the laboratories under the Lohler Group have successfully edited the 'perfect gene' that belongs to humanity!"
In the trading hall, in front of their televisions, almost everyone who was listening to this speech from all over the world became restless.
"Perfect gene?!"
"What is a perfect gene?!"
"Is there really such a thing?!"
Lorler's eyes revealed an irrepressible fanaticism. This was because he saw the rising stock price in the trading hall!
200 US dollars!
300 US dollars!
400 US dollars!
500 US dollars!
600 US dollars!
…
The stock price of the Lohler Group was jumping by 100 US dollars every minute. In less than 10 minutes, it had already returned to its highest price of 1,000 US dollars a month ago!
However, it did not stop. It was still rising!
There was a limit to how much the stock price could fall. At most, it could fall to zero.
However, there was no limit to the rising stock price. This was because no one knew when it would reach its peak!
Originally, the stock price should not have skyrocketed like this. However, there were too many people who had shorted the stock. Now that the system was forcing them to liquidate their positions, everyone had almost lost control of their accounts. At the critical point, they would be forced to buy their shares. This was why the stock price was rising so rapidly.
And this skyrocketing stock price was the most powerful shot in the arm.
Lorler was so excited that he could not control himself. He loudly promoted the prospects of the "perfect gene."
"Do you know what the perfect gene means to humanity?!
"This means that we can unravel the mysteries of all genetic diseases! We can find suitable therapies!
"This means that all kinds of incurable diseases, including cancer, can be completely cured using gene therapy!
"This means that everything that is not good can be solved at the genetic level!
"This means that we, humans, have become God who can control our own lives for the first time!
"We believe in God!
"Because God sent His Son, Jesus, to preach the gospel to us!
"The perfect gene is a gift from God!"
"The perfect gene is a great technological advancement that our Lorler Group has spent a hundred years and tens of billions of assets in exchange for!
"People in the last century often said that the next century will be the century of biological genetic science!
"I believe that this is the most accurate prophecy made by humans in the last century!
"Because in this century, with the arrival of the 'perfect gene,' we will truly usher in the golden age of biological genetic science!"
Lorler faced the sky and stretched out his hands, like a pastor preaching the gospel. His body was practically shining with a holy light.
And just as his voice fell, the Lorler Group's stock price had already broken the 2,000 US dollars mark per share!
It was a full 100 times higher than the 20 US dollars mark that the stock analysts had predicted a few days ago!
