Chapter 84: Chapter 85 Live Broadcast Accident
“Classmate Zhang, we et again. Can I take a few minutes to ask you a few questions?” Standing in the front, Reporter Lin Xuanyuan, who was an old acquaintance of his.
Fa brings trouble as surely as strength draws challenges, and although Zhang Yuan wanted to say “I’m not taking any interviews,” the microphone was already in his face.
Seeing their “if you don’t take the interview, you’re dead” stares, Zhang Yuan got a jolt of fear and quickly swallowed the words he was about to say.
“Hi, Reporter Lin, hello…”
This group of lovely young ladies specialized in collecting all sorts of news from the ti period of the Earth Era. With a sense of sll keener than a hunting dog’s, once they targeted soone, no corner could hide them.
Even big shots like Academician Ding could only comply obediently with interviews.
...
After all, many people on Earth were still following this spaceship, and writing news from ti to ti helped maintain the influence of the “Earth Era,” which was beneficial for the entire aerospace industry and future deep-space plans.
This was politically correct!
Just kidding, Zhang Yuan didn’t dare confront them head-on.
Reporter Lin bead satisfactorily and signaled the photographer behind her to adjust the cara lens properly.
She cleared her throat and asked, “Mr. Zhang Yuan, you’re halfway through your journey to Jupiter. As the first person on the Falls wealth list to break nine digits, do you have any special thoughts?”
Zhang Yuan took the microphone, hesitated for a few seconds, “Not too many thoughts… just a billion, too much money is also pointless.”
Reporter Lin glared at him, how could he say sothing like that?
Zhang Yuan quickly shifted his tone, “Actually, the list fluctuates a lot. The billion I own represents the valuation of equity, not cash in hand. Valuation and actual cash are two different concepts…”
Reporter Lin laughed and said, “Classmate Zhang is really modest. I heard soone has already offered over a billion to buy all your shares. So, cashing out must be quite easy, isn’t it? Have you ever thought about selling your shares into cash?”
Zhang Yuan just wanted to end the interview quickly, and responded bluntly, “I’ve never thought about it!”
“Do you think the company still has room to appreciate, so you choose not to sell these shares?”
“Yes!”
Reporter Lin’s professional smile blood again, “Another question here, why has the value of the shares you hold skyrocketed? In half a year, it’s gone from two million to a hundred million, increasing fifty tis!”
Zhang Yuan thought about it and said, “Because during the financing, the whole company was re-evaluated.”
“Let’s put it this way, it started as a small startup with no results, venture capital of twenty million, I held 10%, so a net worth of two million. Later, the project was successful, obtained copyrights and patents, plus the simulation effects were good, and those big companies sward to invest ten billion…”
“Ten billion isn’t much for hardware developnt because the subsequent R&D costs are very high, simulation experints in supercomputers can’t replace the real reality, and if we want to industrialize, we still need to make various molds for real testing, and a mold could cost millions…”
“If the R&D fails and there’s no new investnt, my net worth will quickly return to zero. Well, that’s about it.”
The young lady nodded earnestly, understanding this basic knowledge.
Zhang Yuan continued, “I’m not very clear about the specific developnt process, you can ask Mr. Guo Hao, who is my contact on Earth. Anyway, I only handle so theoretical stuff, I’m not responsible for subsequent tests…”
She then asked, “So, do you take part in managing the company’s operations? If a real crisis happens, what would you do from so far away?”
Zhang Yuan was getting a bit impatient, with so many questions, one after another, she could probably go on forever.
And the crowd of onlookers had already gathered around, their eyes making his scalp tingle.
“It doesn’t matter, I’m just a minor shareholder, I don’t get involved in internal operations, nor have much say. Currently, I’m only involved in so technical developnt. Whether the company goes bankrupt or operates normally, well, I still hope they operate normally…”
“If it goes bankrupt, it’s just mismanagent, but I believe with the support of so many big companies, it won’t co to that.”
“…” Reporter Lin saw his nonchalant and absent-minded deanor and felt quite annoyed.
After all, it’s a billion, big news, and you’re acting like this!
But still maintaining professional etiquette, she showed her six teeth and smiled, asking, “Then, with this billion, do you regret leaving Earth? A billion is like reaching the pinnacle of life, and after arriving at Jupiter Base, you still have one chance to return to Earth…”
“Regret? I have no regrets,” Zhang Yuan stated plainly. “It feels like I’ve just earned a bit of a Ga Coin, a little thrill, but not much excitent.”
“A billion amounts to what? It’s like 300 kilograms of gold. With the vastness of the stars, would you get extrely excited for 300 kilograms of gold? I sure wouldn’t.”
Hearing him say this, the whole crowd of onlookers burst into laughter.
“I…”
The lady reporter’s forehead veins twitched, wanting to say “I would,” while also wishing she could punch him.
She finally managed to get a few words out, “It seems our Classmate Zhang truly has an exceptionally noble spirit…”
“Any last words for everyone?”
These words were practically the concluding remarks of the interview segnt, and Zhang Yuan finally recited the prepared closing remarks, showcasing a sunny smile.
“In the coming period, I will continue to strive, overco shortcomings, promote strengths, study diligently, work hard, unite with colleagues, focus on communication, and duly perform my job responsibilities, assisting…”
Reporter Lin couldn’t help but roll her eyes, biting her lip hard to keep from completely losing her temper.
“Cut it, cut it, cut this whole segnt! Zhang Yuan, listen well, you can’t say that, we need to redo the interview!”
“Reporter Lin, it can’t be cut! It’s been broadcast live!”
“What?!”
The interview, which started strong but finished weak, thus ended, including a broadcasting accident.
[66666]
[…Earned a billion, feels like just a bit of Ga Coin, slightly thrilled!]
[Rember everyone, a billion is just 300 kilograms of gold!]
[…Look at that cute reporter lady, her face was like a red balloon, about to explode with anger. The two of them have a scandal, they look quite compatible!]
[Academic God is aweso, worship! Orz]
[When can I own 300 kilograms of gold, even 30 kilograms would be good, or 3 kilograms, no, even 300 grams would do… The universe is so vast, yet I don’t even have 300 grams of gold, poor enough to make the aliens laugh at .]
