The meeting was over.
When the door of the conference room opened, many shareholders who came out of it had ugly expressions on their faces.
Of course, there were also a few people who came out of the conference room with a satisfied expression on their faces.
Although the second-generation controllable fusion technology was only icing on the cake for East Asia Power, once this technology made a breakthrough, it would be tantamount to directly utilizing the rich reserves of helium-3 on the moon.
At the same time, the second-generation controllable fusion technology would be safer than the first-generation controllable fusion technology. Deuterium-Tritium fusion would produce excess neutrons while releasing huge amounts of energy, which would cause damage to the nuclear reactor device.
However, helium-3 was different. After reacting with deuterium, not only would the energy released be far greater than that of the first-generation controllable fusion technology, but it would also not release excess neutrons to the outside world. Instead, it would be replaced by harmless protons, which was hydrogen.
Although in their opinion, Academician Lu's bet on the second-generation controllable fusion technology was a gamble, this matter was originally a gamble about the future.
At least, the odds of winning by betting on Academician Lu were greater …
Captain Xing, who was waiting by the door, noticed Lu Zhou walking out of the conference room. He put down his arms and walked towards him with Shi Jin.
Seeing Captain Xing walking towards him, Lu Zhou stopped with Ling, who was following him closely, and cast a questioning look at him.
"Are there any new clues in the investigation of the bombing?"
"There are some clues." After a pause, Captain Xing continued, "I don't know if Academician Lu has heard of an organization."
"What organization?"
"The Spirit of The Universe Foundation."
The Spirit of The Universe Foundation?
The moment he heard this name, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned, and his expression gradually became serious.
He had heard of this name before.
He even heard Wang Peng talk about it not long ago.
"You mean … the person who attacked me is related to The Spirit of The Universe Foundation?"
Captain Xing nodded.
"This is our judgment."
Lu Zhou asked immediately.
"Is there any evidence?"
"There is no direct evidence, but there is indirect evidence." Captain Xing paused and continued with a serious expression, "Chairman Liu's death is very strange. In particular, we received intelligence from an informant. There is enough evidence to show that Chairman Liu had close contact with The Spirit of The Universe Foundation before his death and reached a certain deal with them."
"… A deal?"
"Yes." Captain Xing nodded. "Liu Zhengxing commissioned The Spirit of The Universe Foundation to help investigate you, and then for some reason, they directly hired a killer to assassinate you."
"In addition, according to our investigation of Chester, he has a close relationship with Ruzas, the hijacker on flight N-177. All signs indicate that The Spirit of The Universe Foundation seems to intend to package the whole case as a case of murder for hire with the nature of revenge. "
Be it the hirer or the perpetrator, both had sufficient motives to commit the crime.
However, Lu Zhou was still a little confused. What did he do to make The Spirit of The Universe Foundation chase him for a century?
"There is one thing I still don't quite understand." Looking at Captain Xing, Lu Zhou continued to ask, "Regardless of the motive to kill me … Why do they have to go through so much trouble to package it as a murder for hire? They even used Liu Zhengxing as a chess piece for this. "
"Maybe they don't want to expose their existence too much." The expression on Captain Xing's face was full of solemnity. "This is what we are most worried about."
"If even a person like Liu Zhengxing is an insignificant character in their eyes and can be sacrificed at will just to keep a secret …"
Looking at Lu Zhou, whose face began to change, Captain Xing continued in a serious tone.
"Their infiltration into our society may have reached an unimaginable level!"
"I even suspect that there are people in the conference room just now …"
…
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the East Asia Power board meeting finally came to an end.
However, compared with the previous meetings, the speed at which this meeting ended was undoubtedly much faster. In just one morning, all the issues that should be discussed were discussed.
With the support of the AIIB and other shareholders, Lu Zhou, as the largest individual shareholder, was elected as the chairman of East Asia Power with a large vote advantage of more than 70%.
After the resolution was completed, the news was announced on the official website of the East Asia Store.
At the same time, East Asia Power's development plan for the next five years was also announced.
In the next five-year plan, East Asia Power would adjust the direction of development from the existing market to the development of new technologies at the strategic level.
In particular, the second-generation controllable fusion technology would be the focus of East Asia Power's research and development in the next five years.
In addition, according to the voting results at the board of directors, Director Song Yangwei of the Science and Technology Committee of the Board of Directors was dismissed, and the vacant position was held by Chairman Lu Zhou.
After a series of announcements, everyone who was paying attention to the progress of this meeting was stunned.
No one expected that Academician Lu would serve as the chairman of East Asia Power and hold so many positions, firmly holding the power of research and development in his own hands.
Interestingly, the feedback given by the capital market to such a result was also beyond everyone's expectations.
After some fluctuations, the stock of East Asia Power rose all the way.
Not only was the AIIB increasing its holdings, but even investment companies such as Yangtze River Delta Bank, South Africa Investment, and SoftBank Group also gave optimistic views on the future expectations of East Asia Power.
When interviewed by the financial media, Zhong Ziyu, the investment manager of the AIIB and one of the managing directors of East Asia Power, explained his choice in a relaxed tone.
"… Second-generation controllable fusion technology will completely change the pattern of the world's energy industry, just like what the first-generation controllable fusion technology once did.
"Once this technology makes a breakthrough, East Asia Power will be as great as it was a century ago, and our cross-regional power grid will be further expanded and extended to further places.
"Whether it is for the consideration of East Asia Power itself or for the consideration of the economic development of the entire Pan-Asian region, it is the best choice to let him serve as the chairman!"
When a man achieves success, so does his dog.
Not only had the stock price of East Asia Power risen sharply, but the stock prices of mining companies on the Moon, especially those that had the ability to develop helium-3 resources, had also risen to varying degrees.
For those shareholders who transferred their shares at the board meeting, there was no other adjective that could describe their mood at the moment other than wanting to die.
However, these people were only a minority. Although most people said they were not optimistic, they did not sell their shares in the face of the bait thrown by some investment institutions such as Morinaga.
Opposing Lu Zhou as the chairman was only a subconscious reaction to protect their own interests. Most people were still quite optimistic about the future of East Asia Power.
Even if the chairman came from a hundred years ago, what did it matter?
How could a giant like East Asia Power fall because of the incompetence of a certain chairman?
In any case, the entire Pan-Asian energy market was under their monopoly.
This foundation had not changed for a hundred years …
