Chapter 223 The Precarious General

Boston, General Motors headquarters.

Larry walked into the building quickly, not even in the mood to respond to the greetings from his subordinates. The smiling CEO, who usually pays attention to dressing up, now had a gloomy face, making people afraid to approach him.

The sun was shining outside the building and the greenery was abundant, but he was not in a good mood enough to pay attention to it.

Today was supposed to be a rest day for him to reunite with his family, but who would have heard bad news like a meteorite falling from the sky just after getting up, and even he himself had to rush to the company to sit in town, who would be happy under such circumstances ?

As soon as he entered the office, he directly called his secretary Anna and asked, "What's the result of the discussion at the expert meeting?"

Long before he came to the company, the company had arranged an expert meeting to discuss the possibility of the photoacoustic detection technology disclosed by Chen Shen at the end of the live broadcast.

Anna was a little hesitant, but in the end she gave the result: "The expert group believes that there is a possibility. Considering 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 wild guesses.

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

Larry's mood did not relax a little 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 can't afford the loss."

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

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

Anna hesitated for longer this time, and hesitated for a while before saying: "Now the drop has exceeded 2%, and today's drop is expected to be close to 10%."

Although he had expected it, Larry still leaned weakly on the chair at this time, and pressed his temple.

too difficult!

He felt as if there were nails on the seat, and he couldn't help running away.

He once again felt the pressure of being CEO of the century-old conglomerate General Electric.

The former GM was extremely brilliant and was known as the most powerful industrial group in the world. With the money in hand, it kept acquiring other companies to expand its business.

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

They are widely loved by the people, and everyone says that their country can't live without GM even if it doesn't have Apple.

But that was all in the past.

GM almost used its own dead body to prove a truth-across so many fields, the pants will definitely tear.

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

From 10 billion, to 50 billion, and then to 750 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 56 billion yuan...

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

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

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

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

This happens to perfectly collide with the photoacoustic detection proposed by Chen Shen...

Larry made a simple calculation, as long as the market value of their group today does not fall below 50 billion, it will be fine.

This drop made him desperate, but what made him even more desperate was that all this was caused by a young man on the other side taking out a piece of paper in the live broadcast and saying something without evidence.

Anna also comforted: "We have experienced such a sharp drop, a large part of the reason is the influence of Gu Ge, and the market will gradually calm down."

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

Gu Ge’s wounds from the last battle with Edge and Corner have not healed yet, and the stock price is still falling as the number of Bai Ze search users continues to increase.

And whenever Gu Ge releases good news, Angle will correspondingly release a news related to Baize Search, maybe the number of users has broken through again, or Angle will get involved in the search engine advertising business...

After such a series of old punches, Gu Ge's market value can only guard the door of 930 billion. The previous 1.3 trillion market value was like a big dream.

Larry was a little lost, "We...can we just wait now?"

The stock price fell, not to mention the censure of the board of directors, he himself did not agree immediately.

He was appointed to serve as CEO of GM two years ago. The main reason is a reward clause-after four years, as long as the group's stock price rises by more than 150%, he will receive a one-time reward of 300 million dollars.

However, today, two years later, the stock price has fallen by nearly 40 billion knives...

Seeing that the terms of the reward were about to fall through the cracks, Chen Shen, the black swan, stepped on it!

Before going to bed last night, he watched the live broadcast with his grandson for a while, and even promised him to travel to Danshan Mountain together during the holidays, but Chen Shen slapped him backhandedly.

Thinking of the 300 million reward, Larry forcibly pulled himself together, "We can't wait passively. Under the current situation, only if we take the initiative can we have the hope of victory!"

He tapped his fingers on the desk for a long time before he said: "We have released news that we are optimistic about the bright future of photoacoustic detection and are actively exploring photoacoustic detection technology. It is estimated that we will invest no less than three billion US dollars in the future. Research funding!"

"Announce the news first, and then we will consider how to deal with it according to the situation."

Anna immediately understood what he meant and agreed immediately.

Regardless of whether there is a research and development plan or not, this news can at least slow down the blood flow.

Larry's words did not stop, "Use our contacts to ask the opposite party about the specific situation of photoacoustic detection and explore the possibility of cooperation between the two parties."

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

After arranging everything, Larry asked Anna to implement it, while he himself watched the news on the Internet.

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