Alpha Predator - Chapter 15

[top predator]

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

Although the teacher told him not to be too nervous, he did not dare to neglect at all. He was almost all preparing for this moment. The golden masters sitting under the stage not only determined the budget of the project team, but also very likely To become an investor in his own independent project in the future, he is very grateful to the teacher for giving him this opportunity.

The discomfort caused by too many alphas gathered in one room was overshadowed by excitement the moment he picked up the microphone. His eyes unconsciously found Qu Moyu who was sitting in the first row. As expected, Qu Moyu was looking at him, only looking at him. After sensing 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 to the ppt, and occasionally read the prompt words in his hand. From a very professional perspective, he explained their scientific research results and future plans in the past year in as simple and easy-to-understand language as possible.

Qu Moyu stared intently at the handsome and tall young man on the stage. He was confident, generous and eloquent. His fair skin was brighter and moister under the spotlight. His eyes were clear and full of rich knowledge. The tailored dark blue The suit perfectly outlines his physique, which is somewhere between an adult and a teenager.

The whole speech lasted for about 40 minutes, and as the time went on, Shen Dai felt a little tighter in his chest. Although alphas in public places will control pheromones and put stickers on them, but 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 awake.

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

A shareholder was the first to ask the question Qu Moyu had 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 returns could be seen. Shen Dai also patiently explained their plan according to the content given by the teacher. The South African mine has attracted widespread attention from investors. Shen Dai was well prepared. He asked a teacher to record a video in the mining area two days ago. The teacher introduced the current prospecting situation and future prospects of the mine. The teacher appeared on the stage. more convincing.

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

“Hello, Gong Shen.” Qu Chengchen nodded with a smile, and then scribbled the scrap paper in front of him with his notes written on it with a pen, “Your speech is well done, I have summed up a few questions for you to answer.”

“Please say

Qu Chengchen said solemnly: “You mentioned in your speech that your team has tried a new chlorination method in the decomposition of concentrates. This chlorination method can improve certain efficiency in traditional pretreatment . But the budget spent on this is too large. Pretreatment is a step with relatively low technical threshold. The acid method, alkali method or chlorination method used in various countries are all similar in time, cost and loss. I You definitely don’t know as much about rare earths as you do, but in my opinion, it’s not cost-effective to spend money on improving pre-processing methods. The Group’s expectations for you are more innovative, more efficient, and lower-loss extraction technology. I hope you can Explain.”

“Your question is very valuable. At first, we hoped to use the most cost-effective way to realize our ideal of the extraction process, but then we encountered many obstacles. In this step of decomposing the concentrate, if If you don’t do it well enough, it will affect the following steps. If you explain this problem from a professional point of view, one is very time-consuming, and the other is that it is difficult for non-professionals to understand. The faster the grinding, the more firewood can be chopped later.” “This explanation sounds reasonable.” Qu Chengchen glanced down at the draft, “The second question is that the method commonly used in the world to separate single rare earths is still ion exchange, but In your research, the solvent method has completely replaced the ion exchange. The solvent method is indeed higher than the ion exchange in extraction efficiency. On the contrary, the shortcomings are also obvious. At present, the separation of ultra-high-purity single rare earth and heavy rare earth is the most effective. Ion exchange chromatography, which is also the main reason why your research has not progressed in the field of heavy rare earths. Professor Liu is very confident in the breakthrough of heavy rare earths and has given a three to five years…” Qu Chengchen laughed After a moment, the tone of voice was a little contemptuous, “Vision, I can only use these two words to describe it. But the reality is, why should we use the ready-made ion exchange method and spend billions of investment and research funds to study the solvent extraction process in The increase in heavy rare earths. From a commercial point of view, the input-output ratio is very poor.”

Scientific research is about investing a huge amount of money in the early stage to bet a huge return. This is something that every investor understands. Of course, it is also common for investors to spend real money and not see the money back. . However, the results of Shen Dai’s group last year were not bad, and it can even be said to be the best among several research groups, but Qu Chengchen didn’t say anything during the first two groups of speeches. Can not help but surprised.

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

Although Shen Dai was well prepared, he was also annoyed by Qu Chengchen’s deliberately making things difficult. He glanced at the draft paper. Although it was far away, he couldn’t see anything clearly, but it was full of them. After he answered this, there were more tricky ones. Waiting for himself, at this time, he felt more and more suffocated in his chest, and his body was a little hot. He took a deep breath again, calmed down, and replied without being humble or arrogant: “Mr. Qu, ion exchange method is indeed the most mainstream separation method at present. The teacher has seen the ceiling of ion exchange method. We are very optimistic about the prospect of 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 the performance of 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 going to the horns, why not choose a more secure method, for example, only study light rare earths in the solvent extraction process.”

Qu Mo Yu’s face darkened, he glanced at Qu Chengchen across a few people, but unfortunately Qu Chengchen couldn’t see it.

Shen Dai wiped the sweat left on his forehead: “We…”

“Chengchen.” Qu Moyu also turned on the microphone at some point, and the low voice was slightly distorted in the amplifier, accompanied by some noise , but he couldn’t stop the displeasure in his tone, “Rare earth extraction has a limited relationship with your chemical industry. The first group of non-ferrous metals is not as curious as you.”

Qu Chengchen smiled: “Because the first group’s speech There’s nothing wrong, I have no doubts. I’m not curious, I’m responsible to the shareholders.”

“I know more about rare earth research than you. Professor Liu has solid theories and data to support his judgment on pre-processing and his investment in solvent methods. Their plans have been professionally evaluated, and every report in the financial report A single expenditure can also stand up to accounting and auditing.” Qu Moyu’s eyes were bright and dark, deep and dark, “You have a low reserve of professional knowledge, so there will inevitably be many things you don’t understand, but you should be aware of the group’s risk control. I have confidence in my ability.”

“Risk control is to control risks, which means that risks do exist. I really don’t know much about rare earths, which makes you laugh, but I think what I have raised are reasonable questions. After all, as shareholders holding original shares, they I have a share of every penny spent.” Qu Chengchen sneered, “Isn’t answering questions the meaning of an investor’s meeting?”

“Your doubts are more professional than you in the process of budgeting. The people of Beibei have questioned it many times.” The two

brothers looked at each other slowly with a few people in the middle, under this kind of provocation, the pheromone of resistance silently brewed in the body.

There was silence in the conference hall. The two brothers of the Qu family have been fighting openly and secretly since they were young. It is not new for a long time, but it is relatively rare to choke in public. When they noticed that the two secretly released pheromones, everyone was like a formidable 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, immediately opened the pheromone barrier to isolate them from their influence on him. Most of those shareholders and executives are alphas, and they are also forced to release pheromones, lest they be spit out by the pheromones of the three top alphas.

Yan Mingxiu stood up with a dark face and walked outside the conference hall.

For a time, the concentration of alpha pheromones in the conference hall increased rapidly. Shen Dai only felt that an invisible hand was strangling his throat, and his whole body stinged like an electric shock, and the blood on his face faded. , he grabbed the lecture table and began to tremble.

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

Qu Chengchen also went down the steps, and he made an apologetic look: “I’m sorry, it affects Shen Gong.”

“Shen Gong is actually an omega?” a shareholder said in surprise, “I really can’t tell.”

“The Institute Is there an omega in it?” There was a

lot of discussion in the audience.

Shen Dai strongly bowed: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” He walked off the podium with his 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 bodyguard-like man stood at the door of the bathroom, stopping Shen Dai: “I’m sorry, please wait.”

“I can’t wait!” Shen Dai’s face turned white scary.

The bodyguard looked like he was about to faint at any time, and hesitated for a moment: “Would you like to call for you…”

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

Shen Dai looked up and saw that it was Yan Mingxiu. His legs were so weak that he could barely stand, and he fell straight down.

Yan Mingxiu frowned: “Aren’t you going to be in heat?”

“Please… help me.” Shen Dai was so anxious to hit the wall, why did he always encounter this embarrassing situation, he was experimenting three years ago Room, this time in the office building, he could have delayed taking the medicine for a few days, but just now his body was hit by a lot of alpha pheromones, and it was completely disordered, and he 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 his belief engraved in his bones.
