That was all they had to do at work.
In the end, the three of them talked about interesting things in life and work.
After enjoying the cold drink and dessert, Chen Yushan looked at her watch and saw that it was almost time. She smiled and spoke.
"I still have a meeting to attend, so I'm going to go now. Oh yeah, Mengqi, remember to say hi to your auntie for me. I'll come visit you guys in a few days. "
Han Mengqi nodded and said, "Okay!"
Lu Zhou looked at the time and stood up from his chair.
"Yeah, I have to go back too. Your car is still at the school gate, right? Let's go together. "
He was going to go back to his office. He planned on sending an email to Sarrot.
If Sarrot was willing to work in China, Lu Zhou would provide him with a laboratory.
If he didn't want to, Lu Zhou would respect his decision and help him find a reliable new employer for his laboratory. That way, they could part ways on good terms. Even though politics affected his research, he didn't want it to continue to affect his life.
Even though Lu Zhou had always been critical of Lu Zhou's tendency to exaggerate, Lu Zhou's academic strength was quite good.
After working together for so long, Lu Zhou admired Lu Zhou.
Chen Yushan walked to the school gate and waved goodbye to Lu Zhou and her cousin. She then got into her silver car.
After Chen Yushan left, Lu Zhou smiled and waved his hand.
Ever since she went to Shanghai from Beijing, he felt like she was a lot more energetic. It was like she was rejuvenated.
Even though he couldn't describe this feeling, Lu Zhou felt like she was different from before.
It's like she found her life goal?
But for someone like her, who has always worked hard, this shouldn't be the first time.
Han Mengqi walked next to Lu Zhou and peeked at his face.
She hesitated for a bit before she spoke.
"Teacher …"
"What?"
"That … What exactly do you think of my sister?"
Lu Zhou looked at her strangely.
"What do you mean?"
Han Mengqi's cheeks were a little hot as she said with difficulty, "It's … that feeling …"
Hearing this question, Lu Zhou went silent for a while, as if he was deep in thought.
Looking at his contemplative expression, Han Mengqi's heart was inexplicably perturbed.
Suddenly, she regretted asking this question.
However, just as she was about to gloss over this question, Lu Zhou, who was thinking about this question, suddenly spoke.
"I guess it's rare to have friends that I can communicate with."
Hearing this unexpected answer, Han Mengqi was slightly stunned.
You don't have many friends you can communicate with?
She didn't know why, but looking at his profile, she suddenly felt an inexplicable pain in her heart …
…
Haizhou, demonstration reactor base.
The demonstration reactor project had been completed. After the commendation conference, everyone was very free. They had made up for the vacation they didn't get last year.
Other than the expert teams that were solving the grid connection technical problems of the generators, which were still extremely busy, most of the researchers and engineers were sitting in their offices. When it was time for a meeting, they would attend a meeting. When it was time to fill in a form, they would write something. The rest of the time, they basically did their own things.
For example, Su Yiwen from the technical department had recently become obsessed with futures. He basically stared at the charts at work. Other than when he was in the bathroom, he basically didn't move his butt.
Looking at the bleak futures trading market, Old Su, who made a lot of money from short-selling, clicked his mouse and sighed with emotion.
"A while ago, the price of Brent crude oil was around $60 per barrel. Now, it's almost below $45 per barrel. How come our three barrels of oil haven't caught up yet?"
If this trend continued, the price of oil would go below $40 per barrel. If that really happened, then all of the domestic oil wells would be shut down.
Zhang Xueqian, who was reading a newspaper, looked at his old colleague and smiled.
"Come on, when our Pangu reactor is connected to the grid, the price of oil won't go down. Forget about lowering the price, when the electric car technology matures and the charging column is introduced to fourth and fifth tier cities, we'll have to charge you twice as much fuel tax. "
Su Yiwen was stunned. "Why is that?"
Old Zhang looked at him and smiled as he said, "Do you know what macro-control is?"
"I do … But what does this have to do with macro-control?"
"Think about it, our country relies heavily on imports of energy, and the energy transportation channel is in the hands of others. After a while, when the fusion reactor is connected to the grid, the cost of electricity will go down. The country will definitely adjust the energy structure, such as promoting alternative energy vehicles. If the price of oil goes down, would you still change cars? "
Su Yiwen thought for a bit and felt like Old Zhang made sense. However, even though he said that, he was a little reluctant to change cars all of a sudden.
Seeing how Old Su didn't say anything, Zhang Xueqian showed off what he read from the newspaper and slowly spoke.
"… Now that there is a breakthrough in lithium-sulfur battery technology, the battery life is no worse than a fuel-burning car. The charging time might still be a problem, but it's much better than a few years ago. Also, I heard that the Power Industry Association seems to be working with a few car manufacturers to standardize the battery interface. When the time comes, you don't need to charge at the gas station, you can just change the battery. Of course, it's hard to say when this thing will be ready, we'll see when the time comes. "
The country had invested hundreds of billions of yuan in alternative energy vehicles, and this money had to come from another source.
Where did this source come from?
It was obviously from those who didn't want to change with the times.
Even though Su Yiwen knew that this was beneficial, he couldn't help but complain, "Isn't this forcing us to change to electric cars?"
Zhang Xueqian: "You can understand it that way … But you have to admit that in the long run, this is the right thing to do."
Whether it was from an environmental perspective or to get rid of the dependence on energy imports, after the establishment of the East Asia Power Company, it was the trend to eliminate fuel-burning cars.
However, the people at the top were quite good at this.
They spent less than 100 billion yuan to build a fusion reactor.
Not only did they save trillions of yuan in energy costs, but they also created a market worth trillions out of thin air.
With the advancement of electrification, the industrial production capacity and social vitality would be further released.
What would the future look like?
Maybe only the future would know.
Suddenly, the office door was pushed open, and Division Chief Wang from the finance office walked in.
He was holding a list and a stack of contracts in his hand. He didn't even bother with small talk, he didn't even take a sip of water. He just went straight to the point.
"The East Asia Power Company is raising funds from the public in the form of a public offering of shares. Are you interested? If not, I'll go ask someone else. "
Su Yiwen was about to ask around, but he was surprised to see that Old Zhang, who had never been interested in stocks, suddenly stood up.
"How many shares were issued?"
Division Chief Wang said, "A total of two billion shares were issued, ten yuan each."
Hearing this, Su Yiwen was shocked.
The f * ck?
Raising 20 billion yuan?!
However, what surprised him even more was what Old Zhang said next.
"I'll buy 100,000 shares!"
Su Yiwen: "???"
100,000 shares!
That's a million!
Doesn't this guy always say that he's poor in the office? How come he's so rich?
However, Division Chief Wang didn't let him get what he wanted.
He shook his head and said, "Each employee can only buy a maximum of 3,000 shares."
When Zhang Xueqian heard the number 3,000, he looked a little awkward.
"Only 3,000 shares?"
"Yes." Division Chief Wang nodded with a blank expression. He didn't plan on bending the rules at all. He said, "There's a limit of 3,000 for technical positions, 2,000 for administrative positions, and 1,000 for other positions. The rules were set by Secretary Feng. If you're not happy with anything, you can talk to him. "
When Zhang Xueqian heard that the rules were set by Secretary Feng, he sighed and didn't say anything else.
Fine, 3,000 shares. Actually, that's not a small amount.
Including the military and the research units scattered all over the country, the entire demonstration reactor project team had around 10,000 people, and only two billion shares were issued to the public. Rather, it would be better to say that it was already very good for them to get three thousand shares. If an outsider wanted to buy a lot, they would probably have to draw lots.
After comforting himself in his heart, Zhang Xueqian took the subscription agreement from Chief Wang's hand. While signing his name on it, he filled in the subscription amount.
"Remember to go to the finance department before Wednesday. Otherwise, the subscription will be invalid."
Division Chief Wang wrote it down in his notebook and looked at the other person in the office, Su Yiwen, who was sitting in front of the computer.
However, before he could speak, Su Yiwen raised his arm.
"I want one too."
After Division Chief Wang left the office, Su Yiwen looked at the agreement in his hand and said emotionally, "Old Zhang, the stock market is risky.
"Old Zhang, the stock market is risky. Aren't we buying too much?"
When Zhang Xueqian heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes. He reached out his hand and said, "If you don't want to give it to me, I'll share the risk with you."
"I was just saying that casually …"
Su Yiwen smiled sheepishly, but the certificate in his hand was tightly covered.
What a joke, he wasn't stupid.
This kind of free money opportunity was hard to come by, how could he give it to someone else?
On the other hand, while the East Asia Power Company shares were being issued to the demonstration reactor project team, online subscriptions also began.
However, the professional investors of major private equity funds and investment companies, who had received the news in advance through various channels, were surprised to find that the 20 billion worth of shares had disappeared in an instant.
