The meeting was over.
Dense footsteps and complaints poured out of the conference room together.
With an angry expression on his face, an old man in his fifties or sixties spoke angrily.
"What the hell is that Academician Lu doing?!"
Soon, another middle-aged man in his thirties or forties echoed angrily.
"Cutting 50% of the scientific research project, this guy is crazy! Second-generation controllable fusion? Without enough funding, we can't do anything! "
"What a troublemaker! Although he is Academician Lu … It has been more than a hundred years. Why does he think that his theory can be used until now? "
Listening to the voices of the people next to him, Director Liu Sihai, who was surrounded by the crowd, had a gloomy expression on his face. He hadn't said a word since he stepped out of the conference room door.
At the previous meeting, the paper named "Twenty-seven Methods of Coffee Brewing and the Impact on the Quality of Nap" that Lu Zhou criticized was his masterpiece.
It was precisely because of this that when Lu Zhou said that he would hold him accountable, he suddenly panicked and didn't know what to do for a while.
With his early thirties and unimpressive academic resume, it was absolutely impossible for him to sit in the current position of laboratory supervisor, not to mention the most critical and well-funded electromagnet research laboratory.
The reason why he was able to sit in his current position was thanks to his wife, who was slightly older than him, and his father-in-law, who sat on the Science and Technology Committee of the Board of Directors.
Of course, these things were now in the past.
At the previous board meeting, Lu Zhou, who took office as the chairman, dismissed Song Yangwei on the grounds of reforming the research and development department, and personally took up the post of the Science and Technology Committee.
Although his father-in-law's Song Corporation Capital was still a shareholder of East Asia Power, his power on the board of directors had been deprived of the right to vote. If Lu Zhou really wanted to take him down, there was nothing he could do.
Logically speaking, it was also very hard for him to make up some excuses to get funding every day!
Zhao Xiaofeng saw the displeasure on his boss's face, so he followed him closely. He looked around and immediately cursed out.
"This guy surnamed Lu is looking down on people too much! Was he really Academician Lu? I'm seriously suspecting that he's a fake! "
Although he hoped that was the case, at this point, it was obviously impossible to give him the identity to reverse the verdict.
A researcher walking next to him sighed and spoke in a heavy tone.
"Regardless of whether he is a fake or not, the Pan-Asian Cooperation is on his side now, including the AIIB … Although I don't understand why those major shareholders are so optimistic about an old popsicle from a hundred years ago, the power behind him is too huge."
Even though the senior management of the scientific research department didn't care much about the company's business, they still heard about the board of directors voting.
Lu Zhou was able to directly overthrow Song Yangwei at the board of directors and snatch the position of director of the Science and Technology Committee from him, to a large extent, because he had the support of the AIIB and other major shareholders.
Otherwise, with only 7% of the shares and his poor connections in the East Asia Power board of directors, it would be almost impossible to get things done.
"What's the use of the board of directors supporting them? No matter how powerful he is, he is still one person. If he wants to get things done, he still needs someone to work for him." A sinister smile flashed in Yang Xiaofeng's eyes as he continued, "I have an idea. Even if it doesn't make the old popsicle give in, it can at least force him to maintain the status quo."
Liu Sihai, who was worried that Lu Zhou would attack him, immediately spoke.
"What idea? Tell me! "
"Academician Lu's prestige in the academic community is true, but after all, it came from a hundred years ago. His connections no longer exist in this era. And you are the leader of the electromagnet research laboratory. If he really wants to take you down from your current position, then what awaits him will be a situation where there is no one he can use. "
Looking at Director Liu Sihai, whose eyes were gradually brightening, Yang Xiaofeng smiled sinisterly and continued slowly.
"If the entire R&D department is in a mess at this time, forget about the second-generation controllable fusion, I am afraid that the normal business of East Asia Power will be affected. Seeing the mess he left behind, no matter how much the AIIB trusts him, they have to admit that he is not a manager at all. At that time, forget about being a director of the Science and Technology Committee, he may not even be the chairman. "
"Wonderful!"
After listening to Yang Xiaofeng's words, Liu Sihai's face suddenly showed an overjoyed expression. His eyes became brighter and brighter as he continued to mutter to himself.
"As long as Lu Zhou loses power on the board of directors, in order to clean up the mess he left behind as soon as possible, the board of directors will inevitably invite Director Song back."
When his father-in-law returned to the position of the Science and Technology Committee, would he still have to worry about his future in East Asia Power?
Even if he was removed from the position of the laboratory director by Lu Zhou, it was only a matter of time before he was transferred to the position of the leader of other laboratories!
Zhao Xiaofeng saw that his boss understood his meaning, so he smiled and flattered him.
"Director Liu is wise!"
"If he does this now, it is not just us who will suffer losses! What we have to do now is to unite those who are dissatisfied and give that old popsicle a lesson! "
"He will naturally know who the master of this era is!"
…
The day after the end of the researchers' congress.
Although not everyone was eligible to participate in the meeting, the contents of the meeting spread like wildfire as early as the day it ended.
In addition to Lu Zhou's deployment of the research and development of the second-generation controllable fusion technology at the meeting, the reform program he proposed at the meeting attracted the most attention of the grass-roots scientific researchers.
Whether it was cutting half of the scientific research projects or changing the approval process for scientific research funding, every measure proposed by Academician Lu was closely related to the immediate interests of those grass-roots scientific researchers in East Asia Power.
Therefore, whether it was in the Pan-Asian Cooperation or not, almost as long as it was a research unit under East Asia Power, people could hear people discussing the meeting.
"Director Liu of the electromagnet laboratory was actually dismissed? Really? "
"The author of" Twenty-seven Ways to Brew Coffee and the Impact on the Quality of Nap "? I heard that he applied for 2 million yuan? Haha, I should have fired this guy long ago! Keeping him there is simply an insult to my IQ! "
"Shh, don't talk nonsense. Director Liu is the son-in-law of Director Song. Academician Lu just warned him at the meeting. If nothing happens to him in the end, what you said today will reach his ears again. Aren't you afraid that he will make things difficult for you? "
"F * ck? No way, can this matter be turned around? Also, I'm not the only one who said this … Even if he wants to make things difficult for him, he doesn't have to look for me. "
Listening to the discussions of his colleagues in the office, Tang Yunge really felt that these guys were really not afraid of death. They dared to say anything.
However, if you asked him what he was thinking, he was quite happy that Academician Lu was able to teach Director Liu a lesson.
There was no other reason, because he was probably the kind of person who really did things.
In this electromagnet research laboratory, frontline grass-roots scientific researchers like them did the hardest work and enjoyed the harshest treatment. In the end, they might not necessarily be able to put their names on the research results.
All the research results that were targeted by Director Liu and other people with connections were basically impossible to do.
To be able to put a name on one's own paper was already considered a "great favor".
At least in the electromagnet research laboratory, Director Liu was like a local emperor.
However, since Academician Lu came back, everything seemed to have changed.
When he first saw the triumphant ceremony of the Star of Asia in the VR helmet, his heart was filled with a surging feeling. He felt that this great man from a century ago would bring a different color to the lives of the Pan-Asian people.
And now, it really happened.
Looking at the email in his mailbox, Tang Yunge felt a burst of emotion in his heart.
He didn't know why Academician Lu was interested in a nobody like him.
But his intuition told him that this should be a good thing.
"Brother, why are you so happy?"
Hearing the voice of his colleague next to him, Tang Yunge immediately stopped the smirk on his face and coughed.
"Happy? Really? By the way, I still have something to do in the afternoon. Let's postpone the experiment until tomorrow. I'm still worried about you doing it yourself. "
The colleague didn't think much and replied with a smile.
"Okay, let's wait until tomorrow."
