The venue was noisy and full of people.
“It’s bankrupt and yet you talk so nicely;
I had only been working for a few months when I was laid off and unemployed;
Alas, wouldn’t acquiring us mean annihilating us;
How much money can you get from a few cents share? "
Some people chattered even more when they thought about the possibility of working as maintenance workers for the clones and robots produced by the Arctic Company.
"Arctic Company is not a place for people, the working hours of 996 are outrageous;
I graduated from Er Yaoyao, so I went to their unscrupulous company. "
“The benefits there are not bad, but people didn’t like our projects in the past.
I don’t know if I can find a good position, and I still have a wife and children to support. "
The host's speech was also beyond Ye Yuanfeng's expectations. He looked around sadly, wondering how could this happen?
He looked at Li Chaoyang in confusion again, and Li Chaoyang pursed his lips and shrugged, nodding to him. Only then did Ye Yuanfeng realize that this was what he meant by his previous words.
The woman on the stage continued to speak:
“Colleagues, please be quiet. The company’s reserve funds and projected revenue are far from making up for this year’s projected losses!
Our three main investors have decided not to inject capital into the company, and it will be unsustainable even if it continues to develop.
Now, please colleagues, please call up the voting machine in the cloud machine and browse and select the latest uploaded files.
The voting will take place immediately. After ten minutes, all employees are asked to leave the venue and go to the heads of each department to understand the remaining matters! "
the speaker snapped, unceremoniously. I read another explanation and said no more.
Beta also recognized the host's words and took the initiative to comfort Ye Yuanfeng:
"Although the jellyfish company has made great profits, humans have healed the scars and forgotten the pain. When a virus is gone, no one will care or think about it anymore, even if thousands of people have died because of it.
Bacteria and viruses mutate and evolve all the time. Once a new pathogenic source develops and the passive resistance of the vaccine cluster becomes ineffective and cannot work, others will accuse you of being useless.
Although the Jellyfish Company has lowered its ideal goal to a general goal: establishing an "immune active defense project", this project is even more difficult to start and costly.
So let alone using perfect immunity to achieve immortality.
The capital market and consumers have access to Arctic Company's body-changing technology, but Jellyfish Company cannot create the "elixir of life."
Although it became famous earlier than Arctic Company, the people only want results, only results, only results!
As long as it is useful, effects that cannot be achieved through immunity can be achieved easily by changing bodies. So what's the harm in abandoning this useless company that has saved thousands of people.
In fact, in the eyes of the staff of Jellyfish Company, Arctic Company's so-called immortality plan is nothing more than an opportunistic method.
It’s just that there is success and failure, there is a market only when there is demand, and there is value only when there is a market. The market has abandoned Jellyfish Company..."
The more Ye Yuanfeng listened, the more uncomfortable he became. He turned off Beta, and then opened the voting content: Do you agree that his shares will be acquired?
A long explanation followed. Looking at the question, Ye Yuanfeng and Li Chaoyang looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They were really angry and funny, as if they had a choice.
Ye Yuanfeng said in a low voice with disappointment: "Did we walk too far in an impossible direction for too long?"
Li Chaoyang shrugged and said, "Well, although people can't fly, they can take planes. Although their individual functions cannot be used for a long time, they can be transferred to the clone. That seems to be the case."
He waved his hands helplessly, actually sighing secretly.
The two of them have the same research direction. Losing the platform of Jellyfish Company and giving up the current direction is tantamount to giving up the belief and the person I have loved for many years.
Everyone was depressed and melancholy, and slowly left the scene, disappearing like clouds of smoke.
This short meeting of less than twenty minutes left people feeling frustrated and overwhelmed.
Ye Yuanfeng and Li Chaoyang are still discussing.
At this time, Ye Yuanfeng saw Li Yiming walking towards their position and saw that his face was haggard and not as energetic as before.
He quickly stood up and said, "Teacher, are you okay?"
Li Yiming replied calmly: "Yes."
Li Chaoyang was about to ask about his father's condition: "Dad. You."
Li Yiming said again: "Yuanfeng, Chaoyang, you two come to my office. I have something to tell you." After speaking, Li Yiming turned and left without waiting for a reply.
Ye Yuanfeng watched Li Yiming's slightly thin back leave, looking thin, slumped, and depressed.
He remembered a sentence that Teacher Li once quoted in class: "Life is the season of sowing, and the harvest is not here."
It's just that this wise man who has struggled for half his life has now lost the wilderness he has cultivated for decades. How can others understand the loneliness and sadness in his heart.
The moon is bright and the wind is clear, and the night is long with the solitary lamp.
Ye Yuanfeng and Li Chaoyang had arrived at Li Yiming's office and saw Li Yiming looking out the window alone, sighing in thought for a long time, feeling lonely.
Li Yiming heard the footsteps and looked back, seeing Ye Yuanfeng and Li Chaoyang standing at the door, waving for them to come in.
Before the two of them greeted each other, Li Yiming said slowly: "You two sit down, I have something to give to you."
After Li Yiming finished speaking, he turned around and took out a white box from the safe.
The box is about the size of a small tablet, only half a fist thick in height, and has a handle on one side for holding it.
Li Yiming handed the box to Ye Yuanfeng and opened it.
There are two rows of five small bottles in the box, a total of ten small bottles, which are similar to the automatic injection bottles used by Jellyfish Company to hold vaccine clusters.
Li Chaoyang looked over and said, "Dad, is this a new vaccine cluster?"
Li Yiming shook his head slightly and said, "This was sent by Lin Zhidong."
Li Chaoyang asked: "Is he the leader of the Antarctic Society?"
Li Yiming said: "Well, it's him."
Ye Yuanfeng suddenly heard about the Antarctic meeting and said, "They are also studying vaccine clusters?"
Li Yiming said directly: "This is the 'active defense vaccine' they developed."
Ye Yuanfeng and Li Chaoyang were both surprised: "Ah!"
The two asked one after another: "A hundred poisons can't attack medicine?" "Has it been tested on humans? Is it effective?" "Can it be mass-produced? How high can the resistance rate be?"
Li Yiming said: "I will send the specific data to your private mailbox shortly."
The two of them wondered: "Can this information be sent to us?"
Li Yiming did not answer their too many questions: "Yeah."
Li Yiming was more like talking to himself and said:
"Well, Lin Zhidong just wants to develop a universal vaccine so that the people in his Antarctic Society can live healthy and peacefully until the age of eighty-four.
On the contrary, we are more eager for quick benefits, thinking only about perfect immunity and immortality. In the end, we have not even developed active immunity. "
Li Chaoyang couldn't help but question: "Is this really an active defense vaccine?"
He has been studying under his father since he was a child, and even started studying perfect immunity and active immunity in depth at the beginning of middle school, but for ten years, progress has been slow.
Li Yiming replied: "Yes, because I also participated in their system engineering and provided some help."
Li Chaoyang asked doubtfully: "Dad. You?"
Li Yiming said softly: "Their project is partially open to public welfare, and the main research is completed by them. I just tried my best as a friend, and it has nothing to do with jellyfish. Besides, jellyfish can't complete it."
"Why?" Li Chaoyang was curious about why his father said that the Jellyfish Company could not be completed. Li Yiming just shook his head and said nothing.
Ye Yuanfeng on the side knew that what Li Yiming told them must have a profound meaning, so he hurriedly asked: "Teacher, what do we need to do if we are given these?"
Li Yiming said: "Well, there is a problem now: it cannot be mass-produced. Even if it is connected to our jellyfish company, it can only be produced on a small scale." Li Yiming sighed again, "Besides, now..."
Ye Yuanfeng knew in his heart that now that the jellyfish had been acquired by the Arctic, it was even less likely that the Antarctic Association would be given the opportunity to mass-produce it.
