The elderly chairman was still giving an impassioned speech. Faced with a small number of guests whose appearance was not high in quality, he spoke with long-lost passion. Every time I talk about it, I can’t help but look back at the glorious history. He had reviewed the history of Comet de Frei several times, so he kept tracing it back. As long as there was a little bit of origin, he would talk about it again, and he almost started talking about it from the beginning of Pangu.
Originally, the speech could have ended a few hours ago, but the old chairman kept saying 'I will say two more words', 'I will add two more points', 'It must be emphasized', 'I will say two final words', 'The last and last words'. ...', 'I have a few words for you all'...
The total length of the speech is consistent with the planet's 80-hour rotation period.
Fortunately, the meal cycle of human beings is still relatively fixed. The old chairman has already prepared the banquet, which cannot be delayed. Anyway, he can still talk during the meal, but the scheduled visit before the meal was covered by the speech. .
The speech finally ended and everyone moved to the restaurant. The old chairman was excited and wanted to continue speaking. At this time, the assistant quietly reminded him a few words, and then the old man remembered that the lieutenant general representing the military had not said a word. Although he was confused, he was not stupid, so he gave up the podium to the lieutenant general. It's just that the lieutenant general's face was already very dark, and he just said a few words and ended. The extreme simplicity is in sharp contrast to the verbosity of the old chairman.
The old chairman was startled for a moment, then he calmly greeted the guests one by one, as he was accustomed to the wind and waves and there were people above him.
Chu Jungui and others were sitting in the corner. When the old man came over, he was already at the second to last table. He didn't even have much interest in talking. He nodded politely and went to the last table to end the whole process.
Chu Jungui wasn't angry either. According to the rules, the company Li Ruobai found was not even qualified to be a primary supplier to Devre's Comet. The chairman is old, so naturally he cannot have any interest in such a small company.
Chu Jungui had already begun to check the company's board of directors' information in his mind. The old chairman owns 2% of the shares. Interestingly, the other 22 directors on the entire board of directors only own 0.7% of the shares. Chu Jungui began to check the detailed information, and with the help of the high authority given by the doctor, he successfully uncovered the background of all the directors.
This time I really found a lot of things. For example, several directors are inextricably related to the old chairman, and several directors have nothing to do with the old chairman on the surface, but in fact they are just agents who were pushed to the stage, and there are other people behind the scenes. people.
Looking at it this way, almost every director is not simple, and nearly 80% of directors are directly or indirectly controlled by the old chairman.
As an old company with a long history, Devere's Comet's shareholders are quite dispersed. The largest single shareholder holds only 6% of the shares, and there are hundreds of thousands of large and small shareholders in total. The current situation is due in large part to the steady and determined long-term decline of Comet DeVry. Over the past 30 years, the company's stock price has fallen by 60%, and its annualized compound rate of return is only just over -1%. According to the old chairman, the company's current performance is very resilient.
According to local custom, this meal is the first meal of the day. After the event, everyone took a bus to visit the research institute and production plant.
The institute is a quite old building, and the carvings and decorations have traces of time, but the level of exquisiteness can be seen. Chu Jungui, who has art components, can see the standard of this building when it was first completed. It can be said that the entire building is a work of art.
The interior of the institute is quite neat and clean, full of modern high-tech atmosphere. Researchers hurried past one after another, as if they were shouldering the great task of saving mankind. Everyone is walking through a mid-air corridor, which is entirely made of one-way glass. Standing here, you can have a panoramic view of the entire work area.
More than a dozen large and small conference areas were basically full, with researchers holding meetings enthusiastically and discussing issues. In front of the large main brain terminal in the distance, several senior researchers were studying data. There were many knowledgeable people in the delegation. When they saw the nebula-like data, they immediately admired and appreciated it. Anyone who can understand and directly use this kind of multi-dimensional raw data is a fierce person.
Chu Jungui also glanced over and took in the data. Unlike other people, Chu Jungui's vision was completely inhuman. He could see all the data clearly even from a distance, and several nebula data were analyzed within seconds.
Chu Jungui used a few seconds, then the time required by a normal researcher would be measured in hours. The capacity of these groups of data far exceeds the data processing capabilities of normal humans. Even if the most advanced personal chip is installed, it will be very difficult. Unless you are a handful of geniuses, using raw data directly is asking for trouble and is inefficient.
After further analysis, Chu Jungui found that the data itself had many problems. For example, one group of data is about starship structure, while another group of data is about fuel efficiency. In the field of starship design, this is a major difference between two categories. However, the two researchers discussed it very seriously, carefully studying the data on the opposite side from time to time. It's like a historian and a mathematician doing research together. It's impossible for both parties to have a common language, unless they are studying food and beauties.
Moreover, the data itself is not complete. For example, the data on starship structures contains data on hundreds of structural parts, large and small. But the problem is that many of these structural parts have no connection with each other, and no classification logic can be seen. It is just random. pile up.
Seeing this, Chu Jungui already understood that the entire research hall was a large stage. The military representatives were obviously not surprised, and the seriousness and appreciation on their faces seemed very sincere and professional.
After seeing the research institute, the next step is the production plant. This factory specializes in the production of beam cannons and is one of the few bright spots of Comet Devre. The level of the Dynasty's beam cannon is a whole generation behind that of the Federation. Therefore, although the beam cannon of Devre's Comet is considered to be top-notch in the Dynasty, it is still a bit inferior in the eyes of Chu Jungui, who has fought countless battles with the Federation.
The factory's production line is quite good, at least the presentation is impeccable. This factory produces the core component of the beam cannon, the energy crystal.
The old chairman was waiting in front of the production line. It took a total of an hour from cutting to when a crystal blank was released. Then after cutting and polishing, the blank turned into three core crystals.
The old chairman took the core crystal from the staff with some difficulty. After all, this is a 50-kilogram big thing. It is not a problem for normal people, but it is a bit difficult for an old man.
The old chairman showed the crystal and handed it to the military lieutenant general. The lieutenant general looked at it for a few times and was very satisfied with the quality, and finally showed a rare smile.
The lieutenant general passed the crystal to the next person, and then passed it around one by one. In order to avoid wasting time, the staff also brought over the other two crystals cut in the same batch. By the time the crystals arrived in front of Chu Jungui, they were already the last batch. By this time, the treatment of individual viewings was no longer available, and it was all watched by a group of people.
