Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

In fact, there is no question of who wins and who loses. The proposal thrown by Lu Zhou is definitely a win-win for him and Umicore.

Otherwise, Carlotte would not nod so easily.

After all, it's a $ 400 million business.

Even for an international chemical giant such as Umicore, this is by no means a small number, especially under the embarrassing conditions of Lu Zhou's proposal of "paying off before the end of the year".

After signing the letter of intent for cooperation, in order to quickly persuade the board of directors, Carlotte could not even afford dinner, and had only had time to open a bottle of champagne and a toast, and then hurriedly left the hotel while calling.

According to his commitment to Lu Zhou, he will fly back to his headquarters in Brussels, Belgium tonight to convince the board of directors to agree to the patent cooperation agreement and try to sign the contract before the end of the year.

As for whether he can do it, Carlotte can only say that he does his best.

After all, for a listed company, transactions involving hundreds of millions of dollars cannot be made casually.

In addition, regardless of whether the contract is finally negotiated, from the moment the letter of intent is signed, relevant information must be disclosed in advance on the securities market.

The call from Carlotte was just to the secretary of the board.

After enjoying the rest of the dinner quietly, Lu Zhou got up and left the hotel lobby, stood on the elevator, and went straight back to the room where he stayed.

He walked very lightly along the way, just like his mood.

Until the door behind him closed, Lu Zhou woke up like a dream, realizing what an amazing thing he had just done.

"Four hundred million dollars ..."

Sitting on the bed, looking at the letter of intent for cooperation, feeling the accelerated heartbeat, Lu Zhou's mood was difficult to calm for a long time.

Unexpectedly, this night's effort, he realized the class jump from the middle class to financial freedom.

When he was young, he had daydreams of winning five million lotteries, as many as ten million, even hundreds of millions ... To be honest, he never even dreamed.

What can I buy?

Hire another teaching assistant?

Get a super calculation for Xiao Ai?

Let Dad buy two sets for him in Shanghai?

still is……

Clockwork first?

Fortunately, reason has the upper hand.

Lu Zhou, who just took out his mobile phone, finally restrained the urge to "share joy" with his fans and stuffed the phone back into his pocket.

When it comes to money, keep a low profile.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Zhou meditated a few ordinary times, got up and took a shower in the bathroom, calming the boiling brain a little.

As for the question of "so much money to buy", he plans to wait until the contract is signed before thinking about it ...

After washing, lie flat on the bed.

I thought I could fall asleep soon after a busy day, but after a few days in the middle of the night, Lu Zhou didn't feel a little sleepy.

I don't know when it started, a little morning dawn appeared outside the window.

He didn't realize that he hadn't slept all night until the alarm of his cell phone sounded.

In fact, what Lu Zhou didn't know was that it wasn't just him who stayed up all night.

This night, many people stayed with him all night.

As for the reason, it has to go back a few hours.

Just at 1:00 am Washington time, Umicore Corporation, located in Brussels, Belgium, suddenly disclosed a US $ 400 million patent cooperation plan on its official website.

It is this news that has disturbed many investors' dreams.

Although the media has reported more than once on the "major research results" of lithium anode materials, and it has been accompanied by various bright and blind titles, so far, no chemical company has really started the industrial production of lithium anode materials.

And this time, Umicore suddenly paid a huge sum of money to obtain a patent license for lithium anode materials.

The sensitive capital market finally smelled a bit of wind and grass.

This day seems to be finally here.

...

The sun rose the next day, and M was still in progress. Except that the land boat that had stayed for a night was still sleeping, everything in the venue seemed no different from yesterday.

However, Wall Street, which is no more than a hundred kilometers away from Boston, the entire lithium battery-related plate is boiling like a carnival.

Almost all companies involved in the lithium battery industry have seen their share prices rise to varying degrees in less than half an hour after opening.

This kind of grand occasion not only stays in the lithium battery related industries, but also feeds back into the lithium material futures market.

After all, Lu Zhou underestimated the market's enthusiasm for lithium batteries and also underestimated the influence of his partners.

Speaking of market value and fame, companies such as Umicore may not be able to compare with customers who produce batteries such as Samsung, Sony, Panasonic, and BYD, and more than "customer customers" with billion-dollar mobile phones, new energy vehicles, and other technologies. the company.

But to say that the industry influence, these chemical giants with hundreds of years of history, they are not inferior to them.

As for the reason, it is very simple.

Five years can make a Tesla, and ten years can make an Apple or Microsoft. But if the pace of technological progress can't keep up with the times, maybe they will be replaced by new high-tech companies within ten years.

However, for those companies that are upstream of the industry chain, although their prospects lack imagination, the risks that are evenly distributed to them are relatively minimal.

After all, no matter what products are popular on the market, the demand for chemical raw materials always exists.

However, no matter how the capital market responds, these things have nothing to do with Lu Zhou for the time being.

At least, for now, he doesn't have the extra energy to pay attention to these.

As soon as he slept in the afternoon, Lu Zhou stretched his waist, picked up his mobile phone and looked at the time. As a result, he didn't watch the time, but saw a missed call full of screen.

Some of them came from Professor Chirick, some from China, and some missed calls.

As I was having a headache about which phone call to start from, another call came.

Subconsciously pressing the connect button, Lu Zhou moved the phone to his ear.

"Hey?"

"it's me."

Upon hearing the familiar voice on the phone, Lu Zhou froze slightly and asked with an uncertain voice.

"Professor Li?"

There was a hearty laughter over the phone.

"Haha, it seems you haven't forgotten me."

Lu Zhou also smiled, and said embarrassedly, "How can you forget this? Speaking of which you changed the number?"

For Professor Li ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Lu Zhou will not forget, of course, if it was not for the old gentleman's help, his system task might not be completed smoothly. It was just an unfamiliar number that called him so that he wouldn't respond for a while.

Professor Li said with a smile: "It's not a number change. I'm on a business trip and I'm using a temporary number."

"A business trip?" Lu Zhou's expression couldn't help but be weird. "Are you in Boston?"

"Not only in Boston, I listened to your briefing yesterday, it was really wonderful," Professor Li said with a sigh, and finally did not forget to tease him, "How about, I had a good time last night, rest today Done yet?"

Lu Zhou coughed softly: "What's fun? I fell asleep as soon as I went back yesterday ... I just didn't fall asleep. By the way, where are you now?"

Professor Li smiled and said, "I'm just downstairs, sitting in the hotel lobby. Just in time for dinner, if you have time, let's have dinner together. If we haven't had enough sleep, we Just meet again the next day. "

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "How come I don't have time, I will come down."
