Portuton, GM Group headquarters.

Larry walked quickly into the building, not even in the mood to respond to the greetings of his subordinates. The CEO who always pays attention to dress up and smiles at this time has a gloomy face that makes people afraid to approach.

The outside of the building was sunny and full of greenery, but he was not in a good mood to pay attention to it.

Today was originally a day off for him to reunite with his family. Who knows that he heard a meteorite-like bad news when he just got up, and even he himself had to rush to the company to sit down. In this case, who can be happy? ?

As soon as he walked into the office, he directly called his secretary Anna and asked, "How was the outcome of the expert meeting?"

Before he arrived at the company, the company had arranged an expert meeting to discuss the possibility of photoacoustic detection technology revealed by Chen Shen at the end of the live broadcast.

Anna hesitated, but finally said the result: "The expert group believes that this is possible. Taking into account Chen's past achievements, the reliability of this technology is more than 80%."

The expert group level of their GM Group is at the top level among global companies, and there were even two Nobel Prize winners in the last century.

In other words, their opinions are much stronger than their own guesses.

Larry couldn't help frowning, and Anna immediately said another result: "However, experts generally believe that Chen's description contains exaggerated elements. The actual effect is definitely not as good as what he said. Maybe this technology is still in its infancy. Status, we still have a chance to catch up."

Larry's mood was not a little relaxed because of this passage. He sat in front of the computer and fell into deep thought, muttering to himself: "Even if this news is false, we cannot afford to lose."

He suddenly looked up at Anna, "How is the group's share price now?"

In fact, it goes without saying that he can guess the general situation, but he just can't bear to open it.

Anna hesitated longer this time, and she paused for a while and said: "The decline has now exceeded 2%, and it is expected that today's decline will be close to 10%.

Despite the expectations, Larry was still weakly leaning on the chair and pressed his temple.

too difficult!

He felt like there were nails on the seat, and he couldn't help but flee.

He once again felt the pressure to be the CEO of General Electric, a century-old group.

GM was once brilliant, known as the most powerful industrial group in the world, and kept buying other companies to expand its business.

In the end, their business scope spans energy, military, aerospace, finance, medical, etc.... more than a dozen fields, with more than 100 factories, and a peak market value of US$800 billion ten years ago.

They are widely loved by the people, and everyone says that even if they don’t have Apple, they can’t live without GM.

But that's what happened before.

GM almost proved a truth with his own body-across so many fields, the pants will definitely crack.

Many of the businesses they acquired have become the burden of the group. The rapid growth of the group basically depends on financial business, and then the financial crisis came...

From 10 billion, to 50 billion, and then to 75 billion, no one knows why GM's market value can dive so much in just ten years.

Up to now, GM's market value is only a mere 56 billion...

Faced with such a crisis, he can only let the group lose weight and sell inefficient businesses or sunset industries to obtain sufficient funds.

Under such reforms, GM has concentrated its main forces on the three major businesses of aviation, energy and medical care.

Among them, the medical business turnover accounts for more than 20% of the whole group all the year round. Of the nearly 20 billion turnover, the profit is nearly 4 billion.

The main income of the medical business is the sales and maintenance of medical imaging equipment...

This coincides with the perfect collision with the photoacoustic detection proposed by Chen Shen...

Larry simply calculated that as long as the market value of his group today does not fall below 50 billion, it is considered good.

This decline made him desperate, but what made him even more desperate was that the cause of all this was that a teenager on the other side took out a piece of paper in the live broadcast and said something unfounded.

Anna was still comforting: "We have such a big drop, a large part of the reason is due to the impact of Gu Ge, the market will slowly calm down."

In her opinion, the printing paper that Chen Shen took out was not worth five billion dollars, and the stock market was just scared by Gu Ge's miserable situation.

The wounds of Gu Ge’s last battle with the corners have not healed, and the stock price is still falling as Baize search users continue to increase.

And whenever Googge releases good news, Edge and Corner will correspondingly publish a news related to Baize Search. Perhaps the number of users breaks through again, or Edge and Corner will get involved in the search engine advertising business...

After such a series of old punches, the market value of Gu Ge can only guard the gate of 930 billion. The previous market value of 1,300 billion was like a big dream.

Larry was a little lost. "Are we... we can only wait now?"

Since the stock price fell, let alone the board's censure, he himself did not agree to it for the first time.

Two years ago, he was appointed to GM to serve as CEO. The main reason was a reward clause. Four years later, as long as the group's stock price rose by more than 150%, he would receive a one-time reward of 300 million dollars.

However, today, two years later, the stock price has dropped by nearly 40 billion dollars...

Seeing that the reward clause was about to fall apart, the black swan came to step on it!

He watched the live broadcast with his grandson for a while before going to bed last night, and even promised him to travel to Danshan during the holiday, but Chen Shen slapped him on the backhand.

Thinking of the 300 million reward, Larry forcibly cheered up, "We can't wait passively. In the current situation, only if we take the initiative to attack can we have the hope of victory!"

He tapped his fingers on the desk for a while before he said: “We are optimistic about the bright prospects of photoacoustic detection and are actively exploring photoacoustic detection technology. It is estimated that no less than three billion US dollars will be invested in the future. Research funding!"

"First announce this news, and then we will consider how to deal with it according to the situation."

Anna immediately understood what he meant, and immediately agreed.

Regardless of whether there is this research and development plan, this news can at least slow down the blood flow.

Larry's words have not stopped, "Use our contacts to ask the other side about the specific situation of photoacoustic testing, and explore the possibility of cooperation between the two sides."

As the world's leading large industrial group, there are countless countries that have cooperated with them, and the accumulated contacts are even more numerous. It is not a problem to inquire about matters that have been made public.

After setting up everything, Larry asked Anna to do it, while he himself was watching the news on the Internet.

"The next step is to see the results of the first test..."
