Playing futures this time

These few words immediately stunned Yu Kebao.

Not only Yu Kebao, but also Tan Hongbo and several other doctors and masters, their eyes widened when they heard this.

"You mean, if we figure out graphene, we can win the Nobel Prize?"

"The Nobel Prize is the most awesome award in the world. No one from our country has ever won this award!"

"If our project can win the Nobel Prize, won't we all be recorded in history?"

"Then I won't be a Touxiang layman?"

Everyone said something to each other, and the more they spoke, the more excited they became.

As the most well-known comprehensive award in the world, the Nobel Prize should be regarded as the most coveted by everyone. Whether it is physics, chemistry, mathematics, economics, or medicine, several major categories are basically covered.

Not to mention the bonus is quite generous.

For example, in 2000, the five major Nobel Prizes and the Nobel Prize in Economics amounted to nine million Swedish kronor, equivalent to one million U.S. dollars.

In 2001, the centenary of Nobel's birth, the prize will be increased to US$1.4 million.

Of course, this is not important.

It’s only a mere US$1.4 million.

Lu Yiming’s goal is to win glory for the country!

Won the Nobel Prize twenty years early with Xia nationality!

What I want is this feeling.

Yu Kebao was moved.

If you can win the Nobel Prize, let alone associate professor, you will be the vice president.

Nationally famous—no, globally famous!

The family tree must be re-opened from here, and the first incense stick of Qingming Festival must be placed on the grave.

This temptation is not something that ordinary people can resist!

In comparison, the reward of more than one million US dollars is really nothing.

Seeing that everyone was excited, Lu Yiming struck while the iron was hot and said: "Don't you believe it yet? You should know the theoretical properties of graphene. If it can be prepared or even mass-produced, it will definitely win the Nobel Prize."

.”

Yu Kebao hesitated for a moment, then decided to go according to Lu Yiming's plan. Although he accepted death, he also knew that it would be too difficult to find a benefactor dad like Lu Yiming, who was "foolish and rich". After passing this village, there would be no

This is the store.

However, Yu Kebao still complained: "It is still unclear how to prepare graphene, and research will take a while."

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "I think you can try the mechanical peeling method. Use transparent tape to peel off natural graphite layer by layer, and you should be able to obtain a single-layer graphene structure."

"Mechanical peeling method?"

Yu Kebao was a little excited, but then he stopped: "Let's not say whether this method is feasible. Even if it is feasible, the production efficiency is too low and cannot be industrialized and mass-produced at all. This means that even if the research

Success has no economic value."

In fact, this is also true. This method can indeed prepare micron-sized graphene, but its controllability is low, it is difficult to achieve large-scale synthesis, and it has almost no commercial value.

But just because it has no commercial value, doesn’t mean it can’t be hyped!

Lu Yiming said: "Regardless of whether there is economic value or not, solve the problem from scratch first. Isn't this the consistent idea of ​​​​scientific research? Make it for research first, and then find a way to mass-produce it after the research is clear.

What’s more? Besides, for such a cutting-edge subject, being able to separate graphene would shock the world. Isn’t it unrealistic to just think of large-scale commercial use?”

When Lu Yiming said this, Yu Kebao felt a little sick, scratched his head and said, "It seems to be the same thing."

After all, everyone is squatting in the laboratory to conduct research, and there is still a huge gap between the laboratory products and the introduction to the market. The problem that needs to be solved now is still the problem of creating something from scratch.

Seeing that Lu Yiming was so confident, Yu Kebao didn't say anything else.

Anyway, it was Lu Yiming who paid for it, so he didn’t feel bad about spending it.

Moreover, graphene, a material that currently only exists in theory, has become interesting to him. If it is successfully produced and those properties are verified, it is estimated that he may actually win the Nobel Prize.

After completing Yu Kebao's ideological work, Lu Yiming also invested in the experiment. Although he did not have much professional knowledge accumulation in materials science, he had the right direction after all. Therefore, under his guidance, the entire project team

The progress can be said to be rapid and rapid.

At first, Yu Kebao was not convinced that Lu Yiming acted as a theoretical guide. After all, laymen guide experts. You, a guy who has not even accessed the periodic table of elements, came to guide a group of physics Ph.D.s in experiments. It was a bit big.

No need to.

But as the experiment progressed, and the initial results of graphene appeared, Yu Kebao gradually changed his attitude, became serious and focused, and seemed to have seen the flickering dawn in his eyes. As for Lu Yiming's imagination, he also

I can only give a thumbs up silently in my heart.

Needless to say, this richest man still has something.

Moreover, Lu Yiming went beyond theoretical guidance. When he had nothing to do, he went to the company's laboratory and personally participated in experiments, and had a great time.

This made Li Yiwen complain very much: "You are a guy who is not doing his job properly. You have invested hundreds of millions. Is it possible that you are just trying to live out your addiction as a scientist?"

In response, Lu Yiming did not refute, but said with a smile: "What? After fighting for a lifetime, can't I enjoy it?"

Li Yiwen was too lazy to argue with Lu Yiming and directly changed the subject and said: "In the beautiful country, I kept two billion US dollars according to your wishes. What are you going to use this money for?"

Lu Yiming blurted out without thinking: "Specialize in futures."

"Speculating in futures?"

Li Yiwen was immediately shocked: "What futures?"

It’s not surprising that Li Yiwen had such a big reaction. It’s really that futures are too much of a psychological test. Stocks are okay, and I can analyze them a little, but futures are very metaphysical, and many analytical masters have failed in this field.

Somersault, or even lose with no bones left.

Have you ever heard of forced liquidation?

The income did not meet expectations and was flat, which made my mother even recognize her.

Lu Yiming said: "Oil."

Then, before Li Yiwen could ask questions, Lu Yiming continued: "Don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure about."

Others don't know the trend of international crude oil prices, but Lu Yiming, as a reborn person, knows it well.

In 2001, under the attack of the weak economy of the United States and the increase in production of non-OPEC countries, oil prices began to decline. OPEC once again fell into a series of cycles of reducing daily production quotas. On September 1, 2001, OPEC reduced the daily production quota by 3.5 million barrels.

, want to artificially interfere with market supply and demand.

Without the Twin Towers, such cuts might have been enough to reverse the decline.

However, the shocking collision of the planes not only caused the collapse of buildings and American airline stocks, but also international oil prices. This was already a certainty.

Li Yiwen couldn't find any reason to refute Lu Yiming's gaze. After all, Lu Yiming had relied on this thing to become the richest man in Asia in the past few years.

"Okay, buy up or down?"

Lu Yiming said without hesitation: "Of course I'm buying or selling."

"Buy down?"

Li Yiwen couldn't help but frown: "Are you sure? OPEC is reducing production, and global oil consumption has not decreased. Logically speaking, the price should not be increased? You are violating the laws of economics."

Lu Yiming didn't explain too much. After all, he didn't know the inside story. He just knew that according to the time point before rebirth, it should fall now.

"Economic laws are nothing. Do you understand what government will is?"

Li Yiwen said: "Okay, how much do you want to buy?"

"Cousin, you know me well. Of course I am a stud."

Li Yiwen didn't feel surprised: "I think so."

Lu Yiming then said: "By the way, let's get some leverage or something, and we will win for sure."

Two billion is neither too much nor too little. Li Yiwen has become numb to such figures in recent years, but Lu Yiming actually wants to increase leverage, which makes Li Yiwen feel that it is unnecessary.

"Two billion is a lot, and we need to increase leverage. Are you sure?"

However, Lu Yiming said: "Of course, the leverage can be as high as you want. I can't miss this opportunity to make money for free."

"Free money?"

Li Yiwen sensed the end point and frowned: "Did you get some inside information?"

This size is a competition at the national level. How can ordinary futures speculators play like this?

But now that Lu Yiming is full of confidence and says it was a free opportunity, Li Yiwen will naturally think of it.

Lu Yi was clearly pretending to be mysterious and said with a smile: "The fewer people know about this kind of thing, the better. Go to work quickly."

Lu Yiming is not, it's because he doesn't know it himself, he just knows the result.
