The entire conference room was quiet.

Including the person on stage.

Your project is interesting, yeah, I think its 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 didnt 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, Ill invest 10 million just for starters.

10 million!

There was a huge commotion in the conference room.

For those investors, 10 million wasnt a lot of money, but it wasnt 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?

Shouldnt he at least ask about the companys current operations?

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

However, Lu Zhou didnt ask any questions.

Li Tinghui couldnt help but wonder if this guy was screwing 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 crap, 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 assistant, who was sitting next to him.

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

The assistant looked at Lu Zhou for a while. He pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and looked surprised.

He obviously felt that Lu Zhou looked familiar as well, but he couldnt 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?

Hes Lu Zhou! Academician Lu!

Manager Zhangs hand immediately went up in the air.

Changjiang Capital is investing!

However, his reaction was too slow.

He wasnt the only one who recognized Lu Zhou.

Thats Lu Zhou?!

F*ck, what is he doing here? I didnt know hes 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 god, 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? Were willing to invest 10 million! We just want equity, youll 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 didnt know a lot about Lu Zhou, so he didnt pay attention to the news.

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

Back then, the Pangu reactor hadnt been built yet, and majoring in electrical engineering wasnt 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 wasnt the only person who was shocked.

The person who was surprised the most was Lu Zhou.

The f*ck, I thought you idiots didnt 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 couldnt 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 its 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 Ill keep my mouth shut for the sake of my reputation
