[East Asia Energy Caught In The Vortex of a Power Struggle, Staff of the Electromagnet Research Laboratory Resigns Collectively!]

[Scientific Research Reform? Or a Battle of Power!]

[15-Second Short Film Tells the Past and Present Of East Asia Energy, Gives You the Truth Behind History!]

After being taken away by the police in front of so many people, it was impossible not to be seen.

In particular, this person’s role was also the head of East Asia Energy’s largest research unit in the Yangtze River Delta city group, Director Liu Sihai.

Although this was the internal affairs of East Asia Energy, it was obviously not just the employees of East Asia Energy who were paying attention to this matter.

As the largest power company in Asia and the promoter of cross-regional power grids, this company had an extremely special position in both the economic and historical sense. Its destiny had long been firmly tied with the people in the Pan-Asian region.

As Director Liu Sihai was taken away, a series of reform measures for scientific research introduced by Academician Lu, the chairman, had also surfaced one after another.

When they saw the names of the research project that were said to have been cut down by Lu Zhou himself, many people were shocked.

No one thought that the company was corrupt to this degree…

The building of East Asia Energy.

The seating area on the top floor.

Morinaga, who was drinking coffee, looked at Zhong Ziyu sitting on the sofa opposite him. He suddenly spoke.

“The share price of East Asia Energy has fallen quite a bit recently.”

“Isn’t that good?” Zhong Ziyu said with a faint smile, “The Pan-Asian Cooperation can use this opportunity to increase our holdings.”

Morinaga asked casually, “Are you that confident?”

Zhong Ziyu did not give any answer. He just gave an intriguing smile.

Morinaga stared at this smile and thought for a while. He thought of something, and he asked tentatively, “Does your side… plan to make a move?”

“No need to ask, we don’t plan to do anything, and even if we do, we won’t tell you.” Zhong Ziyu smiled faintly. He cast his gaze to the estuary of the Huangpu River outside the window and continued, “Don’t you think this is a good opportunity?”

“The opportunity to expand the power of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank in East Asia Energy?”

“Yes and no.” After a pause, Zhong Ziyu continued in a slow tone, “What we want to know is whether Academician Lu has the ability to settle this matter.”

Scientific research ability was not the same as management ability. It was a risky decision to elect Lu Zhou as chairman.

In fact, the AIIB had been evaluating the positive and negative impacts this incident might have on East Asia Energy.

The manager of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank who was sent to East Asia Energy to serve as the managing director, Zhong Ziyu, who pushed Lu Zhou to the position of chairman, also underwent considerable pressure from the AIIB.

Although this collective resignation and the subsequent exposure of scientific research corruption was a big trouble for East Asia Energy, it could also act as a touchstone in reverse thinking.

If this matter was not settled, then they would never achieve second-generation nuclear fusion.

But if he settled this matter smoothly…

It would undoubtedly become the strongest proof of his management talent.

…

The public opinion was still fermenting.

Insiders kept breaking the news on the personal grievances between Academician Lu’s personality and Director Liu Sihai’s temper, as well as Liu Sihai’s flaws in managing the electromagnet research laboratory.

But, to be honest, this argument was difficult.

A person from 100 years ago was having grudges with someone born at the end of the 21st century…

The age gap was too large.

Lu Zhou’s personality was considered a research project for historians.

After hearing about the news, many reporters wanted to interview the parties, but Lu Zhou was busy with recruitment and was not free while Liu Sihai was busy in jail.

Mansion in the suburbs.

A salesman in formal clothes stood at the gate of the yard with a gardening drone floating beside him; its dazzling scissors shining in the sun.

“Excuse me, who are you?”

“I am a staff member of Huaxia Bank.”

The man who claimed to be a bank employee carried a business smile on his face and continued politely, “Pan-Asian Airlines entrusts us to handle the follow-up procedures for your compensation. In short, I’m here to send the money.

“So… Can you move your gardening drone a little further away?”

The iron door slowly opened, and the drone floating on the side also flew away slowly.

The bank clerk nodded to the access-control camera. Under the supervision of Xiao Ai, he crossed the stone brick road next to the front yard laboratory and came to the door of the main house.

The door opened quickly, and Lu Zhou, who was standing in the hallway, invited him into the room and told Xiao Ai to pour a cup of tea for the guest.

“Sorry, something bad happened some time ago, so I upgraded the security system in the house.”

“It’s okay. Wealth itself is also a kind of pressure. Although I can’t understand your troubles, I still read the news. I am a salesperson of Huaxia Bank. You can call me Manager Ma. I am here today mainly because Pan-Asian Airlines has entrusted us to handle compensation-related procedures for you and send the advance payment to your account.”

As a large-scale commercial bank in the Pan-Asian Cooperation, Lu Zhou has heard of Huaxia Bank before.

During the hijacking of flight N-177 that happened some time ago, Pan-Asian Airlines offered to pay him 10 million credit points. On the one hand, this money was used as compensation for the mental pain. On the other hand, it was also regarded as a reward for his heroic behavior in saving hundreds of passengers on the entire flight.

Pan-Asian Airlines had paid him an advance payment of 1 million credit points, and the remaining 9 million would be paid within one month.

If it hadn’t been for the bank coming to his house, Lu Zhou would have almost forgotten about it.

“Do I need to go through any procedures to get this money?”

Manager Ma said with a smile, “No need, we have handled all the procedures for you. You only need to confirm the receipt and sign the compensation agreement. The remaining money will then be credited to your account.”

A total of 9 million credits.

Although not much, it was quite impressive.

Lu Zhou looked at the string of zeros on the account. He had a thought in his mind, so he looked at the bank clerk sitting opposite him and said, “If I want to take a loan, what procedures should I go through?”

“Loan?” Manager Ma was stunned slightly and asked seriously, “Can I ask, the loan you want to apply for, is it intended for investment or consumption?”

Lu Zhou frowned and said, “Is there any difference?”

“There is a difference even 100 years ago…” Looking at Lu Zhou, who seemed to know nothing about these things, the bank clerk said, “Not just the purpose of the loans, but also the amount… In short, whether it is the interest rate or the loan amount, it varies according to the type of loan.”

“So… I guess this should be considered an investment?”

Manager Ma continued patiently, “Can you be more specific? For example, the industry you invest in, and the amount you expect.”

“The amount is just a billion or two. As for the field of investment… Investing in myself.”

Manager Ma’s eyeballs almost popped out of his head.

“Um… More than one billion is beyond the scope of our business. I will report this matter to the president. Whether it is available or not, I will call you back later.”

Having said that, Manager Ma hesitated for a moment and added softly, “Just a suggestion… If you are not joking, you should be a little serious and reconsider the reasons for the loan.”

When the bank salesperson got up and left, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned.

“Xiao Ai.”

“Huh?”

Lu Zhou muttered weirdly.

“Am I not serious enough?”

“Maybe it’s because Master is too handsome, it makes it hard for people to take Master seriously! (///ω///)”

No wonder!

After hearing this reasonable explanation, Lu Zhou nodded thoughtfully.

That makes sense.
