Scholar’s Advanced Technological System Chapter 953 - I“m Investing!

953 I“m Investing!

The entire conference room was quiet.

Including the person on stage.

“… Your project is interesting, yeah, I think it’s good.”

Everyone in the conference room was staring at Lu Zhou. Lu Zhou was about to explain why he thought the project was good, but he didn’t know what to say.

After a couple of seconds, he cursed in his mind and said, “I think your PowerPoint is interesting, but 5 million is not going to be enough.” Lu Zhou then added, “I’ll invest 10 million just for starters.”

10 million!

There was a huge commotion in the conference room.

For those investors, 10 million wasn’t a lot of money, but it wasn’t insignificant either.

What confused them the most was how this project was even worth 10 million in the first place?

However, Lu Zhou sat back down without explaining anything. The guy on stage was muddled.

Is this guy going to invest without asking any questions?

Shouldn’t he at least ask about the company’s current operations?

That will give me a chance to go through my PowerPoint again…

However, Lu Zhou didn’t ask any questions.

Li Tinghui couldn’t help but wonder if this guy was s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g with him…

10 million for this project?

Whose dumb*ss kid is this?

General Manager Zhang from Changjiang Capital was sitting in the front row. Seeing how someone was willing to invest in this piece of c.r.a.p, he frowned and looked toward the back.

He then realized that the guy standing up in the back row looked familiar.

Who is that?

He looked at his a.s.sistant, who was sitting next to him.

“Xiao Yang, take a look at that guy, I feel like… he looks familiar.”

The a.s.sistant looked at Lu Zhou for a while. He pushed his gla.s.ses up the bridge of his nose and looked surprised.

He obviously felt that Lu Zhou looked familiar as well, but he couldn’t recognize him.

However, an image suddenly flashed through his mind, and his eyes widened as he spoke.

“Zhang, Mr. Zhang…”

Manager Zhang immediately said, “You know who that is?”

“He’s Lu Zhou! Academician Lu!”

Manager Zhang’s hand immediately went up in the air.

“Changjiang Capital is investing!”

However, his reaction was too slow.

He wasn’t the only one who recognized Lu Zhou.

“That’s Lu Zhou?!”

“F*ck, what is he doing here? I didn’t know he’s attending this summit? I just heard that the female CEO from Star Sky Technology is coming… Why is Academician Lu here?”

“Charging station… Nuclear fusion… I think I know what is going on.”

“Star Sky Technology plans on developing electric chargers! Oh my G.o.d, how did I not know about this?”

Three other hands were up in the air.

“Haitian Venture Capital is willing to invest 5 million! 10 million is not going to be enough, you should be targeting China Guodian Corporation! We will help you complete your series A financing! But we want more equity!”

“Manager Yang, if 10 million is not enough, what is 5 million going to do? We’re willing to invest 10 million! We just want equity, you’ll have total control over the business operations! We can help you finance your series A as well!”

“Yifang Venture Capital is willing to invest 15 million!”

“I want to invest as well!”

The conference room was in chaos.

A second ago, these investment companies thought this project was a piece of garbage. But now, they were fighting over the opportunity to invest.

The host was dumbfounded.

None of the investors were asking questions; instead, they were presenting ideas to the young entrepreneur. Everything from taking the company to public to initial product production.

This was the first time the host had seen something like this.

Not only was the host dumbfounded, but Li Tinghui was also muddled.

At first, no one was planning on investing; no one even asked about the business plan. He was ready to accept failure, but now, the situation had totally changed?!

All of this happened because the person in the back row wanted to invest 10 million.

In the midst of the noisy investors, he was able to finally recognize the man sitting in the back row…

Honestly speaking, Li Tinghui didn’t know a lot about Lu Zhou, so he didn’t pay attention to the news.

However, he heard his supervisor talk about Lu Zhou a couple of years ago…

Back then, the Pangu reactor hadn’t been built yet, and majoring in electrical engineering wasn’t nearly as popular. His supervisor was just a normal electrical engineering professor. However, an invitation sent from the Academy of Engineering invited his supervisor on a secret mission to Haizhou…

His supervisor helped build the first controllable nuclear fusion reactor.

Li Tinghui wasn’t the only person who was shocked.

The person who was surprised the most was Lu Zhou.

The f*ck, I thought you idiots didn’t want to invest?

Why are you trying to steal this from me?

This was the first time Lu Zhou experienced something like this outside of academic conferences…

Actually, this had nothing to do with the technology of the company.

After all, he couldn’t come up with a single reason on why this was a good investment. He just thought the kid reminded him of himself, so he decided to throw in some money.

Zhongshan New Materials, which was controlled by Star Sky Technology, had its own battery production business anyway. Zhongshan New Materials worked with many electric vehicle companies and batteries that were downstream in the supply chain. He might even be able to compete against Elon Musk in the Yangtze River Delta City group charging station market.

Xiang Hongchuan, the partner from Zhujiang Venture Capital who was sitting next to Lu Zhou, finally realized what was happening. He politely smiled at Lu Zhou.

There was no chance for a small player like him to grab a piece of the pie.

“Um… Academician Lu, 10 million is quite a big investment, and it’s risky. Maybe you should think about diversifying?

“We happen to have some funds, maybe… think about it?”

Lu Zhou: “…”

Should I tell this guy to go f*ck himself?

I guess I’ll keep my mouth shut for the sake of my reputation…
