Portuton, General Motors Group Headquarters.

Larry walked briskly into the building, not even in the mood to respond to the greetings of his subordinates, and the CEO, who usually pays attention to dressing up and smiling, had a gloomy face at this time, making people afraid to approach.

Outside the building, the sun was shining and green, but he wasn't in the mood to pay attention.

Today was supposed to be a rest day for him to reunite with his family, who knew that he had just gotten up and heard a meteorite bad news, and even he himself had to hurry to the company to sit down, who could be happy in this situation?

As soon as he walked into the office, he called his secretary Anna and asked, "What is the outcome of the expert meeting?" ”

Long before he arrived at the company, the company had already arranged an expert meeting to discuss the possibilities of photoacoustic detection technology revealed by Chen Shen at the end of the live broadcast.

Anna hesitated, but finally stated the result: "The expert group believes that this is a possibility, and considering Chen's past achievements, the reliability of this technology is more than 80%. ”

The level of their GM Group's expert group is among the top in the world, and there were even two Nobel laureates in the last century.

In other words, their opinions are much stronger than their own guesses.

Larry couldn't help frowning, and Anna immediately said another result: "However, experts generally believe that Chen's description is exaggerated, and the actual effect is definitely not as good as he said, maybe this technique is still in its infancy, and we still have a chance to catch up." ”

Larry's mood was not a little relaxed by this passage, he sat in front of the computer and fell into deep thought, muttering to himself: "Even if this news is fake, we can't afford to lose." ”

He suddenly looked up at Anna, "How is the group's stock price now?" ”

In fact, needless to say, he can guess the general situation, but he can't bear to open it and look at it.

Anna hesitated for a longer time this time, and after a while, she said: "Now the decline has exceeded 2%, and it is expected that the decline will be close to 10% today." ”

Despite his expectations, Larry leaned feebly back in his chair and pressed his temple.

It's so hard!

He felt as if there were nails in his seat, and he couldn't resist running away.

Once again, he felt the pressure to be the CEO of GE's century-old group.

GM was once so brilliant that it was known as the world's most powerful industrial conglomerate, and with the money in hand, it kept buying other companies to expand its operations.

Eventually, their business scope spans energy, military, aerospace, finance, medical and so on...... It has more than 10 fields, more than 100 factories, and a peak market value of 800 billion US dollars ten years ago.

They are widely loved by the people, and everyone says that their country cannot be without universal even if there is no apple.

But that's all in the past.

GM almost proved a truth with his own corpse - across so many fields, the pants will definitely crack.

Many of the businesses they acquired became a burden on the group, and the group's rapid growth basically depended on the financial business, and then the financial crisis came......

From 10 billion, to 50 billion, and then to 750 billion, no one knows why GM's market value has plunged so much in just ten years.

As of now, GM's market capitalization is only 56 billion yuan......

Faced with such a crisis, he can only let the group slim down and sell off inefficient businesses or sunset industries to get enough money.

As a result of these reforms, GM has concentrated its efforts on its three major businesses: aviation, energy, and healthcare.

Among them, the turnover of medical business accounts for more than 20% of the whole group all year round, and the profit is nearly 4 billion yuan of nearly 20 billion yuan in turnover.

The main revenue of the medical business is the sales and maintenance of medical imaging equipment......

This happens to collide perfectly with the photoacoustic detection proposed by Chen Shen......

Larry simply calculated, as long as the market value of their group does not fall below 50 billion today, it is good.

This drop made him desperate, but what made him even more desperate was that the cause of all this was just a teenager on the other side of the strait who took out a piece of paper in the live broadcast and said something unsubstantiated.

Anna also comforted on the side: "A large part of the reason why we have such a big drop is because of the influence of the grain pigeon, and the market will slowly calm down." ”

In her opinion, the piece of printing paper that Chen Shen took out was not worth five billion dollars, and the stock market was just frightened by the tragic situation of Gu Ge.

The wounds from Gu Ge's last battle with Angjiao have not healed until now, and the stock price is still falling as Bai Ze's search users continue to increase.

And every time Gu Ge releases good news, Angjiao will correspondingly release a message related to Bai Ze search, perhaps the number of users will break through again, or Angjiao will get involved in the search engine advertising business......

After such a series of old punches, the market value of Gu Ge can only guard the door of 930 billion until now, and the previous market value of 1.3 trillion is like a big dream.

Larry was a little distracted, "We ...... Now you can only wait? ”

The stock price fell, not to mention the reproach of the board of directors, and he himself did not agree to it at the first time.

He was appointed to GM as CEO two years ago, and the main reason was a reward clause - after four years, if the group's stock price rises by more than 150%, he will receive a one-time reward of 300 million US dollars.

However, two years later, the stock price has fallen by nearly $40 billion......

Seeing that the reward terms are about to be in vain, Chen Shen, the black swan, stepped on it!

He watched the live broadcast with his grandson for a while before going to bed last night, and even promised him to travel to Danshan together during the holidays, but he was slapped by Chen Shen on the backhand.

Thinking of the reward of 300 million, Larry forcibly cheered up, "We can't wait passively, with the current situation, only if we take the initiative can we have hope of victory!" ”

His fingers tapped on the desk for a long time before he spoke: "We are optimistic about the bright prospects of photoacoustic detection, and are actively exploring photoacoustic detection technology, and it is expected that no less than three billion US dollars will be invested in research funds in the future!" ”

"Let's announce this first, and then we'll think about how to deal with it according to the situation."

Anna immediately understood what he meant and immediately agreed.

Regardless of whether there is such a research and development plan or not, this news can at least make the blood flow a little slower.

Larry's words did not stop, "Use our contacts to ask the other side about the specific situation of photoacoustic detection and explore the possibility of cooperation between the two sides." ”

As one of the world's largest industrial conglomerates, they have worked with countless countries and countless connections, so it's no problem to inquire about matters that have been made public.

Once everything was laid out, Larry asked Anna to do it, while he himself watched the news on the Internet.

"Now it's time to see the results of the first test......"
