Scholar’s Advanced Technological System - Chapter 1484
Chapter 1484 – The Master Of This Era!
The conference ended.
Footsteps and voices of complaints came out of the conference room.
With an angry expression on his face, an old man about 50 or 60 years old spoke furiously.
?What the hell is that Academician Lu doing?!?
Soon, another middle-aged man, about 30 or 40 years old, also echoed angrily.
?Cutting down 50% of scientific research projects; this guy is crazy! Second-generation controllable fusion? Without sufficient funds, we can?t do anything!?
?This is completely unreasonable! Although he is Academician Lu… But it has been more than a hundred years, why does he think that his theory can be applied now??
Listening to the voices of the people next to him, Director Liu Sihai, who was surrounded by the crowd, had a gloomy expression on his face. He hadn?t said a word since he stepped out of the door of the conference room.
At the conference, the paper named ?Twenty-seven Methods of Coffee Brewing and Their Effects on the Quality of Napping? that Lu Zhou criticized by name was his masterpiece.
It was precisely because of this that when Lu Zhou said that he would be held accountable and liquidated, he suddenly panicked and didn?t know what to do for a while.
He was in his early thirties and had poor academic experience. Normally, it was absolutely impossible for him to sit in the position of a laboratory supervisor, not to mention the most critical and most adequately funded electromagnet research laboratory.
The reason why he was in this position was thanks to his wife, who was slightly older than him. Her father was on the board of directors of the Science and Technology Committee.
Of course, these things were now in the past.
At the previous board meeting, Lu Zhou, who took up the post of chairman, removed Song Yangwei from his position on the grounds of reforming the R&D department and took the position of the Science and Technology Committee.
Although his father-in-law?s Song Capital was still a shareholder of East Asia Energy, the power of the board of directors had been deprived of voting rights. If Lu Zhou really wanted him gone, there was nothing he could do.
He worked quite hard to make up ?reasons? for funding!
After reading the dissatisfaction on his boss? face, Yang Xiaofeng glanced left and right, then immediately scolded.
?This Lu Zhou is too despicable! Is he the real Academician Lu? I seriously think that he is a fake!?
Although he hoped that this was the case, it was obviously stupid to question his identity.
A related researcher walking nearby sighed and said in a heavy tone, ?Whether it is fake or not, the Pan-Asian Cooperation is always on his side, including the AIIB… Although I don?t understand why those major shareholders are so optimistic about an old popsicle from a hundred years ago, the power he holds is too great.?
Although these senior executives in scientific research usually did not care about the business side of things, they were still in the company and heard about the board voting.
Lu Zhou was able to directly overthrow Song Yangwei on the board of directors and grab the position of the director of the Science and Technology Committee from him. This was largely because he was supported by a large number of major shareholders, such as the AIIB.
Otherwise, relying on his 7% of the shares and his poor connections in the East Asia Energy Board of Directors, it would be almost impossible to get things done.
?What?s the point of the board of directors? No matter how good he is, he is still alone. If he wants to do something, he still needs someone else to work for him.? Yang Xiaofeng continued with a sinister smile in his eyes, ?I have an idea. Instead of making the old popsicle give in, it is better to make him maintain the status quo.?
Liu Siha was worried that Lu Zhou would get rid of him, so he immediately spoke up.
?What?s the idea? Tell me!?
?Academician Lu?s prestige in the academic world is true, but after all, it came from a hundred years ago. His connections no longer exist in this era. And you are the leader of the electromagnet research laboratory. If he gets rid of you, there will be no one to replace your seat.?
Director Liu Siha?s eyes gradually brightened. Yang Xiaofeng smiled and continued slowly.
?If the whole R&D department is in chaos, forget about second-generation controllable fusion, I?m afraid that the normal business of East Asia Energy will also be affected. Seeing the chaos left by him, even if the AIIB believes in him, they have to admit that he is not a good manager at all. At that time, he won?t even secure his chairman seat.?
?Genius!?
After listening to Yang Xiaofeng?s words, Liu Sihai?s face suddenly showed an overjoyed expression. His eyes became brighter as he continued to mumble, ?As long as Lu Zhou loses power in the board of directors, in order to clean up the mess he would undoubtedly leave behind, the board of directors will definitely invite Director Song back.?
When my father-in-law returns to his position in the Science and Technology Committee, I won?t have to worry about my future in East Asia Energy!
Even if Lu Zhou removed him as laboratory director, it would only be a matter of time for him to transfer to a top position of other laboratories!
Zhao Xiaofeng gave a flattering smile.
?You?re brilliant, Director Liu!
?What he?s doing is not just hurting our interests! What we have to do now is to unite those who are dissatisfied and fight against the old popsicle!
?He will then know who is the master of this era!?
…
The day after the research conference ended.
Although not everyone was eligible to participate in the conference, the content of the conference spread the day it ended.
In addition to Lu Zhou?s deployment of second-generation controllable fusion technology at the meeting, what attracted the most attention from researchers was the reform program he put forward at the meeting.
Whether it was cutting half of the scientific research projects or changing the approval process for scientific research funding, every measure proposed by Academician Lu was closely related to the vital interests of the scientific research workers of East Asia Energy.
Therefore, regardless of whether it was within the Pan-Asian Cooperation or not, every research unit under East Asia Energy was talking about this.
?Director Liu of the electromagnet lab was actually removed? Really??
?That?s the author of ?Twenty-seven Methods of Coffee Brewing and Their Effects on the Quality of Napping?? I heard that the funding was applied for 2 million? Haha, it?s finally time for him to leave! He?s an insult to our company!?
?Shhh, don?t talk nonsense. Director Liu is the son-in-law of Director Song. Academician Lu only warned him at the meeting. If nothing happens in the end, what you said today will reach his ears. Are you not afraid of him??
?F*ck? Really, he?s going to come after me? Also, I?m not the only one who said this…?
Tang Yunge listened to the discussion of his colleagues in the office. He felt that these guys were really not afraid of dying. They even dared to talk nonsense.
However, if someone were to ask him what he thought, he would still applaud Academician Lu for cleaning Director Liu.
Because he was the kind of person who liked to get things done.
Inside the electromagnet research laboratory, these front-line scientific researchers did the hardest work and the most demanding jobs, but in the end, they might not even be able to put their names on the research papers.
They had to forget about receiving credit for the research results that Director Liu and other stakeholders focused on.
Being able to put their names on the thesis could already be regarded as ?a blessing from the heavens?.
On the one-third acre land of the electromagnet research laboratory, Director Liu was the king.
However, ever since Academician Lu returned, everything seemed to have changed.
When he saw the triumphant ceremony at the Heart of Asia through his VR headset, his heart was filled with emotions. He felt that this great man from a century ago would bring a little excitement to the lives of the Pan-Asian people.
And now, his feelings came true.
As Tang Yunge looked at the email in his mailbox, he felt a wave of emotions.
He didn?t know why Academician Lu became interested in an unknown person like him.
But his intuition told him that this should be a good thing.
?Bro, why are you so happy??
Tang Yunge immediately suppressed the smirk on his face and coughed dryly.
?Happy? Am I? By the way, I still have something to do this afternoon, so let?s postpone the experiment until tomorrow. I don?t trust you to do it yourself.?
The colleague didn?t think much. He just replied with a smile, ?Okay, tomorrow it is.?
