Chapter 126: What Are You Afraid of?

The next day, Lu Zheng formally solicited the opinions of all shareholders and received a concurring reply.

The non-internal transfer of shares was quite troublesome, and Lu Zheng, while soliciting the rest of the shareholders, sincerely informed them that the Green Shade Building side would use two other investment companies to dilute the shares, and all shareholders agreed to them one by one.

After signing the formal contract with the four shareholders, Lu Zheng asked Sophie to formally inform the fruit company that the shares of Baddeley, Hans, Missy and Bol were officially changed to be owned by Gammon Investment and Maple Leaf Investment.

So far, Red Oak Investment owns 30% of the company's shares, Gammon Investment has 20.4% of the shares, and Maple Leaf Investment has 22.6% of the shares.

Due to the change of major shareholders, the fruit company had to make a public announcement to social investors.

Lu Zheng asked Sophie to urge the fruit company to complete the research and development of the new project as soon as possible in the form of three companies, without worrying about financial problems.

The current CEO Louis is very happy to get the support of Lu Zheng, the major shareholder, but the other shareholders except the founder are big, you say make money, it's okay to say, this is a loss, God~

I am optimistic about the new high-tech industry, and I used to make money, didn't I? Let that yellow-skinned Chinese kid stare dryly, haha!

What are you afraid of if you continue to invest? That Huaxia kid has a huge 70% stake, and he is not afraid, so what are we afraid of?

Is Lu Zheng really only 70 percent of the shares? This is only on the surface, Huang Weide also owns about 16 percent of the shares by absorbing social shares, but it is relatively scattered.

Once it exceeds 5%, it will be automatically reported to the stock market department for the record, Lu Zheng is troublesome, and regardless of this part of the shares for the time being, it will be regarded as a social idle investment behavior.

The current fruit company is no longer the fruit company at the beginning, strictly speaking, it should belong to the subsidiary of the absolute holding of Luyinlou, according to the shares, Lu Zheng continued to invest 1.4 billion US dollars for the research and development of the 4.0 window operating system.

~~~~~~

Time flies quickly, a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and soon it is May, seeing that spring is about to pass, and summer is coming.

During this period of time, Lu Zheng spent money in addition to spending money, except for the stock market and futures market, pharmaceutical companies, razor factories and G&C companies occasionally made a little insignificant income, nothing else was gained, and it can be said that he was very happy.

The time for Luyinlou to take over these companies is very short, so they are not even qualified to be listed, and there is a hard and fast rule that the company must be listed after three years of the change of ownership.

The razor alone can sell nearly 10 million pieces worldwide every month, with a profit of about 2~50 million US dollars.

George is a shy boy, medium height, with brown curls on his head, a pair of short-sighted glasses, white skin, and vigorous body hair.

Because I love to tinker with batteries since I was a child, after finishing my master's degree in anesthesiology and materials science last year, I encouraged several friends with the same hobby to come to Nanfu Battery to work together and become a researcher.

After they came to Nanfu, they found that Professor Goodenough had twice discovered lithium-ion battery cathode materials, lithium cobalt oxide and lithium manganese oxide.

The former has stable structure, high capacity ratio and excellent volumetric energy density, while the latter is low price, stable, has excellent electrical and lithium conductivity properties, and has lower oxidation than the former.

At the same time, I found a paper: lithium ions can be embedded in graphite, and graphite can also be embedded in lithium ions, and they are quickly integrated into each other.

George excitedly applied for a $2 million research grant from Bill, the director of the research institute, and their application was titled: Lithium-ion battery positive and negative electrodes.

Bill looked at the headline, lithium-ion batteries, and this was the first application of the week, and he looked at the content again, and saw that this young man's starting point and focus were different from those of others, and there was theoretical support for the field.

He was already planning to disagree, and who did not have theoretical support for each subject applicant in front of him?

He took a sip of coffee and suddenly remembered what Thompson had told him: Don't be afraid to do repetitive work, don't be afraid to spend money, the boss only looks at the results, how can he care about money? What's more, how can he guarantee 100% success in research? As long as there is a 30% success rate, the boss will be happy. You have to be bold and let the kids do it, they have the results, and you have the leadership skills!

He picked up the application funds again and saw that it was only 2 million US dollars, and he approved it with a stroke of the pen.

Before George gets the funds, he also needs to sign an agreement with the research institute, which roughly means: as a researcher of Nanfu Battery, he only has the reputation right to his own research results, and has no ownership.

After the signing was completed, he applied for test raw materials with his friends, and after a detailed division of labor, he plunged into the laboratory.

His idea is, since lithium cobalt oxide and lithium manganese oxide are both fine, can a new material be found to replace it?

As we all know, lithium metal is extremely reactive, it can be burned in air or water, and it is very unsafe to use. If lithium metal is directly used as the negative electrode, dendrites will occur during the charging process, which will lead to spontaneous combustion of the battery.

These factors preclude the direct use of lithium to make cathodes and cathodes, and only a new material can be found, which can replace the two metals, cobalt and manganese.

Half a month passed like this, and they tried all the metals they could find in the laboratory, but they all failed regrettably.

Bill was devastated, after all, he was a teenager, and he originally thought that it should be easy to find two alternative metals, but who knew that the process was not only complicated and cumbersome, but also tried almost all known metal elements, and ended up with nothing.

There was a yellow-skinned young man in his team, his classmate, named Ge Zhongxing, who was mainly responsible for recording work in the team.

Today, when the data was recorded, he ran out of ink in the pen, and he had to use a pencil when he was recording, and then he saw that Bill was not very interested, and made a suggestion: "Bill, since metal can't work, why don't we change our thinking." For example, if you use this layer of material left on the paper with a pencil and add it to lithium ions, what will be the effect?"

Bill gave him a reluctant smile, and Ge Zhongxing was stabbed by the smile.

Everyone is for the same goal, so why should you look down on me so much?

"Well, in that case, everyone is tired, let's go back and rest early, maybe a good idea will come up. Ge Zhongxing had long been accustomed to this kind of contempt, and he was slowly unmoved, and he persuaded them to leave first.

Bill was stunned for a moment, thinking about it, maybe everyone has been too tired recently.

"Okay, let's all disperse, go back and think about it. By the way, Ge, you stay and clean up. ”

After Ge Zhongxing heard this notice, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, cleaning must be his own job, but do he really have to clean first?

No, wait for them to leave and do the experiments first, clean up whenever you want, and if you have an idea, you should do it.
