Alpha Predator

Shen Dai briefly introduced himself, and then began the report speech.

Although the teacher told him not to be too nervous, he didn't dare to neglect at all. During this time, he was almost preparing for this moment. In the future, he will become an investor of his own independent project, and he is very grateful to the teacher for giving him this opportunity.

The discomfort caused by too many alphas gathered in one room was overwhelmed by excitement the moment he picked up the microphone.His gaze unconsciously found Qu Moyu who was sitting in the first row. As expected, Qu Moyu was looking at him and only at him. After noticing his gaze, he nodded slightly.Shen Dai received great encouragement, he straightened his chest, took a deep breath, showed a calm smile, and started his speech.He switched the ppt, occasionally looked at the prompts in his hand, and from a very professional point of view, explained their scientific research achievements and future plans in the past year in as easy-to-understand language as possible.

Qu Moyu stared intently at the handsome and upright young man on the stage. He was confident and generous, and he talked eloquently. His fair skin was brighter and more moist under the spotlight, his eyes were clear and full of rich knowledge, and his tailor-made dark blue The suit perfectly framed his figure, somewhere between a man and a teenager.

The whole speech lasted about four to ten minutes, and Shen Dai felt a little tightness in his chest as it went on.Although alphas in public places will control pheromones and will wear barrier stickers, when there are too many people and the space is not well ventilated, a lot of pheromones will inevitably be mixed.Shen Dai drank water frequently and finished the speech while keeping his mind clear.

And the real challenge may have just begun, because next he has to answer investors' questions.

A shareholder was the first to ask the question that Qu Moyu asked in the morning, and Shen Dai explained it.Someone asked when this upgraded extraction method could be put into use and when the market return could be seen. Shen Dai also patiently explained their plan according to the content given by the teacher.The mine in South Africa has aroused the general attention of investors. Shen Dai has been prepared for a long time. Two days ago, he asked his teacher to record a video in the mining area. The teacher will introduce the current prospecting situation and future prospects of this mine. more convincing.

Suddenly, Qu Chengchen raised the pen in his hand, then turned on the microphone in front of him, and Shen Dai also stood ready.

"Hello, Mr. Shen." Qu Chengchen nodded with a smile, then scratched the draft paper full of notes in front of him with a pen, "Your speech was well done, I have summed up a few questions, please answer them."

"Please speak."

Qu Chengchen said solemnly: "You mentioned in your speech that your team tried a new chlorination method in the decomposition of concentrate. This chlorination method can improve the efficiency to a certain extent in the traditional pretreatment, but for The budget for this is too large. Pre-treatment is a step with relatively low technical threshold. The acid method, alkali method or chlorination method used in various countries is not much different in time, cost and loss. It’s definitely not as clear as you, but in my opinion, it’s not worthwhile to spend money on improving the pre-processing methods. The group’s expectation for you is more innovative, more efficient, and less wasteful extraction technology. I hope you can explain it. .”

"Your question is very valuable. At the beginning, we also hoped to use the most cost-effective way to realize our ideal of extraction process, but then we encountered many obstacles. If the step of decomposing concentrate is not done well enough , will affect several subsequent steps. If this problem is explained from a professional point of view, one is very time-consuming, and the other is that it is difficult for non-professionals to understand. To use a popular metaphor, it takes a little time in the early stage to sharpen the ax faster. You can cut more firewood in the later stage.”

"This explanation sounds reasonable." Qu Chengchen looked down at the draft, "Second question, the method commonly used in the world to separate a single rare earth is ion exchange, but in your research, the solvent method has completely replaced Ion exchange, the solvent method is indeed higher in extraction efficiency than ion exchange, but the disadvantages are also obvious. At present, the most effective separation of ultra-high-purity single rare earths and heavy rare earths is ion exchange chromatography, which is also the cause of your research. The main reason for the lack of progress in the field of heavy rare earths. Professor Liu is very confident in the breakthrough of heavy rare earths, and gave a three to five-year..." Qu Chengchen smiled, and his tone was somewhat contemptuous, "Vision, I only want to It can be described in these two words. But the reality is, why do we use the existing ion exchange method and spend billions of investment and research funds to study the improvement of the solvent extraction process on heavy rare earths. From a commercial point of view , this input-output ratio is very poor.”

Scientific research is to invest a huge amount of money in the early stage to gamble a huge return. This is something that every investor understands. Of course, it is very common for investors to spend real money without seeing the money back. .However, Shen Dai's group's results last year were not bad, and it can even be said to be the best among several research groups. Can not help but be surprised.

Such a question is very difficult to answer. It is like a person throwing stones into a well. A hundred stones can fill it up, but when he throws fifty stones, he gets impatient. Shen Dai has to persuade him to continue throwing the rest. fifty.

Although Shen Dai had been prepared for a long time, he was also annoyed by Qu Chengchen's deliberately making things difficult. He glanced at the draft paper. Although he couldn't see anything clearly from a distance, it was full. After he answered this, there were even more tricky things. Waiting for himself, at this moment he felt more and more stuffy in his chest, and his body was a little hot.He took a deep breath again, calmed down, and replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Mr. Qu, the ion exchange method is indeed the most mainstream separation method at present. The teacher has already seen the ceiling of the ion exchange method. We are very optimistic about the prospect of the solvent extraction method. It is also the most important research direction of our group, once successful, whether it is light rare earth or heavy rare earth, it can achieve great efficiency improvement, and the return will be amazing."

"But judging from your performance in the past three years, your progress in the field of heavy rare earths is very limited, and the numbers in the financial report are really 'amazing'. Instead of digging into the horns, why not choose a more secure way, for example, in the Only light rare earths are studied in the solvent extraction process."

Qu Moyu's complexion darkened. A few people away, he gave Qu Chengchen a sideways glance, but unfortunately Qu Chengchen couldn't see it.

Shen Dai wiped the sweat from his forehead: "We..."

"Chengchen." Qu Moyu also turned on the microphone switch at some point, and the deep voice was slightly distorted in the loudspeaker, accompanied by some noise, but he couldn't stop the displeasure in his tone, "The rare earth extraction The relationship with your chemical industry department is limited, and the first group to study non-ferrous metals doesn't see you being so curious."

Qu Chengchen said with a smile: "Because there is nothing wrong with the first group's speech, I have no doubts. I am not curious, but I am responsible to the shareholders."

"I know more about rare earth research than you do. Professor Liu has solid theory and data to support his judgment on pre-treatment and investment in solvent method. Their plans have been professionally evaluated. Even a single expenditure can withstand accounting and auditing." Qu Moyu's eyes were flickering, deep and dark, "Your professional knowledge reserves are low, and it is inevitable that there will be many things you don't understand, but you should understand the risk control of the group. Confidence in ability."

"Risk control is to control risks, which means that risks do exist. I really don't know much about rare earths, which made everyone laugh, but I think what I raised are reasonable doubts. After all, as shareholders holding original shares, every penny they spend I have a share of the money." Qu Chengchen sneered, "Answering questions and solving doubts is the meaning of an investor meeting."

"Your doubts have been questioned many times by people who are countless times more professional than you in the process of budgeting."

The two brothers looked at each other slowly with a few people in the middle. Under this kind of provocation, the pheromone of resistance was quietly brewing in the body.

There was no sound in the conference hall.The two brothers of the Qu family have fought openly and secretly since they were young. It is not a new thing, but it is relatively rare to choke in public. When they noticed that the two of them had quietly released pheromones, everyone felt like an enemy.

When two top alphas start fighting for information, the surrounding alphas must also release pheromones to protect themselves.

Yan Mingxiu, who happened to be sitting between the two of them, immediately opened the pheromone barrier to isolate their influence on him.Many of those shareholders and executives are alphas, and they are also forced to release pheromones, lest they be swallowed up by the pheromones of the three top alphas.

Yan Mingxiu stood up with a dark face, and walked out of the conference hall.

For a moment, the alpha pheromone concentration in the conference hall rose rapidly, and Shen Dai felt an invisible hand strangling his throat, his whole body felt dense tingling pain as if electrified, and the blood on his face faded completely , he held onto the lecture table, his body began to tremble.

Qu Moyu was the first to notice Shen Dai's strangeness, and he immediately withdrew the pheromone.

Qu Chengchen also came down the steps, and he made an apologetic look: "I'm sorry, it has affected Shen Gong."

"Shen Gong turned out to be an omega?" A shareholder said in surprise, "I really can't tell."

"There are still omega in the research institute?"

There was a lot of discussion in the audience.

Shen Dai forced himself to bow and said, "Sorry, I'm sorry." He walked off the podium with weak legs, ran out the side door, and went straight to the bathroom.

It's over, something is wrong, the body's reaction...

A tall and strong man who looked like a bodyguard stood at the door of the bathroom, and stopped Shen Dai: "Excuse me, please wait a moment."

"I can't wait!" Shen Dai's face was frighteningly pale.

Seeing his appearance of fainting at any moment, the bodyguard hesitated: "Should I call for you..."

Shen Dai pushed away the bodyguard and rushed into the bathroom, then collided with a tall figure who was walking out, and the man grabbed his arm.

Shen Dai looked up and saw that it was Yan Mingxiu, his legs were so weak that he could hardly stand, and he fell straight to the ground.

Yan Mingxiu frowned: "You can't be in heat, are you?"

"Please... help me." Shen Dai was so anxious that he wanted to hit the wall. Why did he always encounter such a predicament? In the laboratory three years ago, but this time in the office building, he could have postponed it if he took the medicine. It's been a few days, but just now his body suffered the impact of a large amount of alpha pheromone, completely disordered, and fought back in place during the estrus period.

"I won't help you, I have a wife." Yan Mingxiu said helplessly, "My bodyguards will guard the door, and I will call the security department to deal with it."

"It's too late." Shen Dai trembled, "Call me Qu Moyu, please."

Only Qu Moyu can save him, this is the belief engraved in his bones.
