As the voice sounded, the entire conference room fell silent.
Including the person standing on the stage.
"… Your project is very interesting. Yeah, I think it's good."
Seeing that almost everyone in the conference room was looking at him, Lu Zhou was about to casually talk about what he thought was good about this project. However, he found out that he couldn't tell what was good about it. He wanted to imitate Rebs's humor and act cool, but as someone who had never acted cool before, he really didn't know how to act cool in a fresh and refined manner.
After thinking for ten seconds, Lu Zhou couldn't figure it out. He coughed and forcibly ended the topic.
"The things you wrote on your PowerPoint seem a bit interesting. Five million is probably not enough." Lu Zhou thought for a while and said, "I'll invest ten million first."
Ten million!
The entire conference center was in an uproar.
For the people here, ten million might not be a lot, but it was definitely not a number that could be easily spent.
What they didn't understand was how this project was worth ten million?
However, Lu Zhou didn't say anything. After he spoke concisely, he sat back down. The young man standing on the stage was confused.
He didn't even ask about the details before investing?
At least ask about the current operation of the company, right?
He could take the opportunity to make up for the mistakes in the PowerPoint just now …
However, the investor didn't say anything. He just sat down and didn't even let him see his face.
Li Tinghui almost couldn't help but wonder if this person was here to cause trouble …
Investing ten million for this project?
Which landlord's silly child is this?
When General Manager Zhang of Changjiang Capital, who was sitting in the front row, saw that someone was actually investing money in this project, he suddenly frowned. He wondered which family the bidder was from, so he looked back at the person who stood up again.
This time, he took a closer look and found that the face seemed a bit familiar.
Is he really the son of a rich family?
Thinking of this, he winked at the secretary sitting next to him.
"Xiao Yang, look at who that person is, I feel like … he looks a bit familiar, but I can't remember."
The secretary stared in Lu Zhou's direction for a while and pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose. There was a look of surprise in his eyes.
Obviously, he also felt that this face was somewhat familiar. He should have seen it somewhere before, but he also couldn't remember where.
However, at this moment, an image that he had seen on the news flashed across his mind, and his eyes widened.
"Zhang, Director Zhang …"
Mr. Zhang immediately said, "You've thought of it?"
"He … he looks like Lu Zhou! That Academician Lu! "
Before he could finish his sentence, CEO Zhang's right hand was already raised into the air at lightning speed.
"We, Changjiang Capital, will invest!"
However, his reaction was still a little slow.
Obviously, he was not the only one who recognized Lu Zhou's identity.
"That person is Lu Zhou?!"
"Damn, why is he here? I didn't hear any news that he was going to attend this summit. I only heard that the only daughter of the Chen family came on behalf of Star Sky Technology, and they should be in a meeting right now … Why is Academician Lu here? "
"Charging stations … Electric … Controllable nuclear fusion! I think I understand something … "
"Star Sky Technology plans to enter the charging station field! Oh my god! Such a big game of chess, but I didn't hear anything about it! "
The moment CEO Zhang raised his hand, hands rose up one after another, as if they were surrendering.
"We, Haitian Ventures, will invest five million! Your project is not bad, but 10 million is definitely not enough for you to burn. Your target should be Guodian Group and the shared charging stations. We will send professional managers to help you complete a series of operations from financing to listing, but in return, I need you to give up more shares! "
"CEO Yang, you're a big spender, but it's still not enough. Like you said, 10 million is definitely not enough, what can 5 million do? We, Eternal Investment, will invest 10 million! We only want shares, we don't interfere with the original team's experience! Isn't it just going public? We also have a professional team! "
"We, Yifang Real Estate … Oh no, Yifang Venture Capital will invest 15 million!"
"I, Wang Duoyu, will invest in this project!"
The scene was extremely chaotic, it was not as quiet as before.
The major venture capital companies that thought this project was a fool raised their placards like crazy. Even the general manager of A 'Li Venture Capital raised his placard, and he even offered a high price of 10 million.
Dumbfounded by the scene, the host standing next to the stage was dumbfounded.
Not a single person asked a question, they were all helping the founder with ideas. They even arranged everything from the initial operation of the product all the way to the Nasdaq bell.
This was the first time he had seen such an exaggerated scene.
Not only was the host shocked, but Li Tinghui, who was left on stage, was also completely stunned.
Originally, not a single person raised their placard, even the venture capitalists in the audience didn't want to ask about the company's operation. He was already prepared for the failure of the angel round of financing, he didn't expect things to turn around!
The key to all of this was that the person sitting in the back row raised his hand and expressed his willingness to invest 10 million.
His ears were filled with the noise of the audience, and he finally recognized the man sitting in the back row without a nameplate …
Honestly speaking, he didn't know this man. Because he didn't pay attention to current affairs, he had never seen this man's face.
However, he heard his supervisor talk to him about the past three or four years ago in a fascinated tone …
Back then, the Pangu reactor wasn't called the Pangu reactor yet, and electrical engineering wasn't as popular as it was now. His supervisor was just an ordinary electrical engineering professor. However, a transfer order from the Academy of Engineering made his supervisor carry an unusual mission. He carried a backpack and went to Haizhou alone, throwing himself into the wave of a great cause …
Then, he was honored to become a great and ordinary screw in the controllable nuclear fusion project.
Li Tinghui wasn't the only one who was shocked.
The most shocked person in the audience was, of course, Lu Zhou himself.
F * ck, I thought you guys didn't think this thing would work?
Why are you all trying to steal it from me?
Speaking of which, this was the first time Lu Zhou felt like he was so popular outside of an academic conference that it had nothing to do with his appearance …
Also, it probably had nothing to do with academics.
After all, he had been working hard for a long time, but he couldn't think of any good points in this project. He just liked this young man, so he decided to invest in this project in memory of his lost youth.
Zhongshan New Materials, which was controlled by Star Sky Technology, also had a battery production business. Zhongshan New Materials had a close relationship with many alternative energy vehicle and battery companies in the supply chain. Lu Zhou's investment wouldn't be a loss. Maybe it would even cause some trouble for Elon Musk, who was planning on occupying the charging station market in the Yangtze River Delta city group.
Xiang Hongchuan, the partner of Zhujiang Venture Capital, who was sitting next to Lu Zhou, finally realized what was going on. He turned his neck and squeezed out a smile at Lu Zhou.
Even Alibaba Group had raised its placard, so there was no chance for Lu Zhou to compete with the big names in the front row. Their only chance was right next to him.
"Um … Academician Lu, CEO Lu, 10 million is not a small amount of money. Investing in a startup is risky. If we lose, we'll lose everything. Should we consider sharing the risk?"
"We happen to have some spare funds, how about … you think about it?"
Lu Zhou: "…"
At this moment, there was only one word in his heart, but he didn't know if he should say it.
But considering his status as an academician, he decided not to say it …
