Recently, there had been a lot of people visiting Lu Zhou.
First, there was the leader of the State Administration for National Defense, then the second-in-command of the Energy Bureau. Then, Luo Wenxuan and Chen Yang also came to him with the "quantum mechanical system of random Hermitian matrices corresponding to the Riemann function" and the "Hodge conjecture" problems. Lu Zhou wanted to do his own research project, but he couldn't refuse.
After all, he was the one who asked Luo Wenxuan to do the research on the Riemann zeta function. Now, he was the one who was slacking off.
As for Chen Yang's research project, some of the problems in it would help Lu Zhou improve the hyperelliptic curve analysis method. Also, Lu Zhou was the one asking Luo Wenxuan for help, so he couldn't refuse …
On the last Monday of March, Lu Zhou yawned and was about to leave his house to go to the Jin Ling University mathematics department. The moment he opened the door, he saw a man with a beer belly. The man had a kind smile on his face, and he was holding gifts in his hand. He was standing in front of the courtyard, and he was about to ring the doorbell.
After calming down and recognizing the identity of this person, Lu Zhou asked with some surprise in his voice.
"Mr. Liu? What are you … "
"It's the holidays, so I brought some gifts," said Liu Wanshan as he walked through the iron gate.
Liu Wanshan walked through the open iron door and said with a hearty smile, "You scientific researchers work so hard. When I think about you guys spending all day and night in the laboratory, I'm worried about your health. This is a mountain product that I asked someone to bring back from Mount Changbai. When I make chicken soup, I stew it in two sections. It can nourish the body! "
Lu Zhou: "…"
Holidays …
Lu Zhou thought for a bit and realized that there were only two holidays left. One was the Fool's Day, and the other was the Qingming Festival.
However, this was obviously not the time to complain.
Lu Zhou took the gift from Mr. Liu and invited him into his home.
He looked at the beautifully packaged ginseng, taisui fungus, and polygonum multiflorum, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
I'm fine, is it really okay to eat these things?
"You're too polite."
After Liu Wanshan sat down, Lu Zhou poured him a cup of tea. He then sat on the sofa across from him. "I have to go to Jin Ling University in a bit, so let's save the small talk for next time. You know that I don't like to beat around the bush. If you have something to say, just tell me. "
Seeing that Lu Zhou pointed out the purpose of his trip, Liu Wanshan suddenly smiled embarrassedly.
"Since you've seen through me, then I won't stand on ceremony."
As he spoke, this man, who was overflowing with good fortune and usually looked somewhat imposing, actually used a somewhat aggrieved tone to complain to him about his sufferings.
"Wasn't the new energy market very popular a while ago? I was thinking that the supply of lithium-sulfur batteries was too big, and we were just making lithium materials. Therefore, I acquired a small factory and merged their production line. While producing the cathode and cathode materials, we also did lithium-sulfur battery assembly. You know about this. "
Lu Zhou nodded and said, "Is there a problem?"
"The problem is your thesis." Liu Wanshan slapped his thigh and sighed. He then said, "You don't know this, but when your thesis came out, especially after it went to CTV, the entire new energy industry was like a bucket of cold water.
"Just our factory alone, in the first two weeks, the factory's profits were pretty good. We couldn't even handle the orders that came in one after another, so we had no choice but to hire a new batch of workers. But now, it's only been two weeks, and we can't even get a single order. The small factories that originally placed orders don't even want a deposit! All of the products are wasted. We're not an electric car company, why do we need so many batteries! "
"Really?" Lu Zhou frowned and said, "Even if lithium-air batteries were to be popularized, they wouldn't be popularized in a month or two. Not to mention, for the new energy industry, this should be a good thing. "
"I'm not afraid of technology not being updated, I'm afraid that when it's about to come out, everyone will wait and see." Liu Wanshan sighed and said, "As for lithium-air batteries, it's good for electric vehicle manufacturers, but for small entrepreneurs like us, it's a disaster."
Small entrepreneurs?
Lu Zhou looked at this guy pretending to be pitiful and couldn't help but complain in his heart.
He's the CEO of a public company, can he not be so lame?
However, he had neglected these things that Boss Liu had mentioned.
Actually, Lu Zhou was quite helpless. He just casually wrote his thesis according to Chen Yushan's suggestion. He didn't expect the academic community to over-interpret his thesis, even the media and industry were over-interpreting it.
The lithium-air battery problem was solved, but it wasn't written in his thesis!
Seeing how Lu Zhou's expression didn't change, Liu Wanshan asked in a euphemistic tone.
"I won't make any excessive requests, I just hope that you can think about the workers at Zhongshan New Materials … For example, publish an article saying that lithium-air batteries won't be realized so soon. This will give us a chance to adjust our production capacity."
Liu Wanshan didn't think writing an article was a big deal, right?
He didn't even have to write it himself, he could just let his students write it.
However, Lu Zhou didn't think this way. When he heard that someone wanted him to publish an article, he felt like his head was about to explode.
"I admit, I was negligent, I didn't lay the groundwork." Lu Zhou coughed and said in a serious tone, "But I can't write an article like this. The most important quality in academia is to be realistic. I can tell the truth, but I can't lie!"
Not to mention, Chen Yushan told him that she was playing a "big game".
Lu Zhou was also curious about what this game of chess was all about.
Liu Wanshan looked at how Academician Lu didn't seem to want to help at all. He was disappointed.
Of course, even though he was disappointed, he didn't blame Lu Zhou for not helping him. First of all, he wasn't worthy of Lu Zhou's help, and second of all, he understood what Lu Zhou was talking about.
After all, compared to the profits of his own company, Lu Zhou represented the entire China academic community, as well as the image of all of China's young scholars. Even the total output of hundreds of companies couldn't compare. Even if Lu Zhou didn't want to help, it was understandable …
The purpose of this trip was completely lost. Liu Wanshan planned to get up and leave after a few words of greeting. However, Lu Zhou, who was sitting across from him, suddenly seemed to remember something and spoke.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot, send a few engineers from the factory to the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study."
Liu Wanshan, who was about to leave, swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He paused for a moment and asked, "Engineer?"
Lu Zhou nodded and said, "Yeah, new lithium-air batteries … I plan on integrating wireless charging technology. You have experience in car batteries, and we have the technology for lithium-air batteries and wireless charging. I think we can cooperate. "
Lu Zhou smiled.
