It had been two days since he came back from Shanghai.
Zhongshan International mansion.
Lu Zhou was sitting in his study room on the second floor. He was studying the calculations on the draft paper when a video call request suddenly popped up on the bottom right corner of his computer.
When Lu Zhou saw that it was a video call from Shi Xiaotong, he put down the pen in his hand and pressed the answer button.
As soon as that lively and cute face appeared on the screen, an excited voice could be heard impatiently.
"Bro, you're famous!"
Lu Zhou looked at his sister, who had stars in her eyes. He hesitated for a second and asked.
"What … What's wrong?"
Xiao Tong: "Do you remember the thesis you gave me a few days ago? Professor Krugman took it to the report for you … Oh, no, published it. The entire economics community is studying your L-Z model! If you're on Facebook, you can see people discussing this in any macroeconomics community! "
Lu Zhou: "L … Z?"
Xiao Tong said excitedly, "Yeah! Professor Joseph named it himself! "
Lu Zhou: "…"
mmp！
These economists are really bad at naming things.
To think that he still had a little bit of hope …
Lu Zhou coughed and said, "That's it?"
"What do you mean that's it? This was already very impressive, okay?! Also … "Xiao Tong sat cross-legged on a chair and said mysteriously," Apparently … Someone wrote a letter of recommendation to the Nobel Prize Committee, recommending you for this year's Nobel Prize in Economics! "
Lu Zhou looked at how excited Xiao Tong was. He smiled and shook his head as he said, "You should pay more attention to your studies. As for the Nobel Prize in Economics … I'm more interested in winning the Nobel Prize in Physics. The possibility of winning the Nobel Prize in Economics is much higher, but no one has contacted me yet. Obviously, it's not easy to win two Nobel Prizes, so don't worry about me. "
Xiaotong stuck out his tongue and said, "I can't afford to offend him, I can't afford to offend him. I'll pass him some Coca-Cola."
"Alright, stop talking nonsense with me. Go do your own things. Your brother is busy, and I'm not as free as you."
When he heard his brother say that he was free, Xiaotong immediately argued unhappily, "How am I free? I'm also very busy! As soon as I returned to Princeton, Professor Krugman gave me a bunch of tasks. I have to read at least two theses a day and take notes … I've only been here for two weeks! This is simply exploiting the laborers! "
"That's a problem." Lu Zhou was amused. "I'll introduce a few of my students to you when I'm free. You won't complain when you see their workload."
Assigning tasks to you meant that they were interested in training you. If they really wanted to squeeze you dry, they would just throw you some mechanical, repetitive work that would not improve you in any way. In the end, the thesis would not even have your name on it.
It could be seen that Professor Krugman was very serious about training Xiaotong. Regardless of whether or not it was for Lu Zhou's sake, Lu Zhou still remembered this favor.
After chatting with Xiaotong for a bit, Lu Zhou turned off the video call and placed his attention back on the thesis in his hand.
Lu Zhou looked at the densely packed equations and suddenly felt a headache. He sighed heavily.
"I have to decide whether or not to go before June …
"Ah, if only the Riemann's conjecture was as simple as the L-Z model."
He was actually quite interested in going to the St. Petersburg mathematicians conference.
However, since Lu Zhou had chosen to use Riemann's hypothesis as the content of the 60-minute report, he had to make some achievements. Even if the mathematics community treated him as a brave warrior, he wouldn't be able to go on stage and talk about something that was too obvious.
Lu Zhou shook his head and put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind. He placed his attention back on the thesis in his hand and began to launch a new round of challenges against the crown that had dominated the mathematics world for a century and a half …
…
While Lu Zhou continued to study the notes in his hand, Li Tinghui, who was in a conference room at Star Sky Technology in Shanghai, finally received his first financing contract in his life.
Although, the contents of the contract made him love and hate it at the same time …
He read the contract from beginning to end and looked at CEO Chen, who was sitting across the conference table.
"60% … Isn't that a bit too high?"
Very few startups would give up 60% of their shares in an angel round. Even 30% was quite rare.
If he signed, it would mean that he would go from being the largest shareholder to working for Star Sky Technology. Not only that, but it would also affect the subsequent A and B series of financing.
No venture capital firm would invest in a company whose founder had already lost control of their own company, unless Star Sky Technology had no plans to continue financing.
However, Chen Yushan dismissed Li Tinghui's argument with one sentence.
"I think this is the most suitable solution, and it's the only one we can accept.
"We have an independent research and development team …"
Chen Yushan took a sip of tea and spoke.
"How does it compare to the Institute for Advanced Study?"
Li Tinghui didn't know if he was shocked by the CEO's aura or the name of the Institute for Advanced Study, but this time, he couldn't say a word.
Chen Yushan tapped her finger on the desk as she slowed down her speech.
"I actually don't agree with Academician Lu's idea. He's not a good businessman, in my opinion, he's doing charity."
She saw how nervous the young man was, so she continued to speak.
"We can research and develop the wireless charging station technology ourselves. We have a good relationship with Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang provinces. It shouldn't be a problem for us to set up a wireless charging station company. At most, we just need to spend some time to promote the business and train people who are familiar with this business."
At this point, Chen Yushan smiled and said in a tone that didn't sound like she was joking.
"What do you think? An annual salary of half a million yuan, do you want to work at Star Sky Technology? "
Her dimpled smile was like a bloomed cornflower, blooming with breathtaking charm, but also blossomed with the cruelty of a devil.
Even though Li Tinghui knew that financing wasn't charity, he didn't expect CEO Chen's proposal to be so aggressive.
"CEO Chen, you're kidding …"
Li Tinghui took a deep breath and struggled for a second. In the end, he signed the financing agreement.
He had no choice.
Even though the price was high.
But the resources that Star Sky Technology could provide him were insane.
Whether it was their relationship with the government, their technology research and development capabilities, or their cash flow. Just like CEO Chen said, even if Star Sky wanted to build a "DD Charging" or "CC Charging", it wouldn't be a problem at all.
As expected …
I'm still too young.
Chen Yushan looked at Li Tinghui, who signed the financing agreement, and nodded with approval.
"Very good, from now on, the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study will set up an independent research institute on wireless charging stations. Your research team can go to Shanghai. As for those who don't want to go, just fire them.
"As for you, I need you to stay in Shanghai and move the management team from the small suburban office building to the Pudong New District."
"But …"
Chen Yushan didn't want to wait for him to finish. She said nonchalantly, "That's for you to think about. I'm only responsible for sending the money, then arranging the resources you need. If you move your company next to us, it will only be good for you. There is no harm. "
This devil …
Li Tinghui took a deep breath and nodded. He carefully put away the financing agreement and left the office.
He hoped that his decision today was correct.
He also hoped that one day, he wouldn't regret today's decision …
Chen Yushan looked at the door close and smiled as she shook her head.
She's still too young.
Star Sky Technology did have the ability to create a charging station company, but having the ability and energy were two different concepts.

If he had done his homework, he would have found out that patent management was the core business of Star Sky Technology. Star Sky Technology, which focused all of its energy on the space shuttle assembly center, didn't have the time to focus on the power export market in the Yangtze River Delta city group.
Because of this, financing a charging station company with potential was the best choice.
This was the same as why Star Sky Technology didn't produce electric cars or lithium-sulfur batteries. Taking on a small part of the risk wasn't as comfortable as taking on the entire industry chain.
As for "disagreeing with Academician Lu" and "intending to set up a wholly owned subsidiary to enter the charging station market", that was just something she made up without even thinking about it.
Of course, even if Li Tinghui could think of these things, he didn't have a good solution.
After all, Star Sky Technology's resources were exactly what he needed, but for Star Sky Technology, he was just a potential investment target.
"Ah, I really want to go back to the headquarters … The traffic and air quality here are so much worse than Jinling."
Chen Yushan stacked the documents on the conference table and faced the empty conference room. She was temporarily out of work mode. She stretched out her arms like a cat and rested on the table for a while.
The tough expression on her face was swept away. She flipped her lips and blew a few strands of bangs on her forehead as she muttered in a low voice.
"That guy, he didn't even call me when he arrived."
"He probably went into seclusion again."
