Chapter 1784 Small talk on the plane (2)
Speaking of invisibility cloak, it exists in various science fiction and magic novels, and people in reality have been studying it, especially in recent years, Han Xuan has seen many scientific papers on "invisibility".
The reason why human eyes can see objects is because the object blocks the passage of light waves. If a certain material can be developed and attached to the surface of the object, and thus the light waves blocked by the object "walking around", then the light seems to be unblocked, which realizes visual invisibility.
Han Xuan asked Isabelle and said: "Which aspect do you do research? Are you going to imaging clothes?
The current technical level seems to not meet the requirements. Apart from the military, there are probably not many people who are interested in this technology. This is just a trick, but it should be quite interesting."
What he said is clothing imaging, which means installing a camera behind the clothes, then converting the image to a projector in front of the clothes, and then projecting the image onto a material made of special materials. This is a major aspect of the research on invisibility clothing.
"What you are talking about is just a low-end stealth technology. We have always believed that light propagation has regularities and it is difficult to change it. Recently, the research team I participated in has developed a new grid-like material that can change the propagation path of light, but it is not yet mature.
Just like putting a stone into a stream, the stream will bypass the stone and continue to move forward. The working principle of the invisibility cloak is basically similar to that of it, and it can guide the light shining in other directions.
This technology has been successful in the lab and is still a long way from real-life applications. I sponsored $8 million in research funding to try to create a huge mirage."
Isabelle is an absolute rich woman. Now her assets in banana investment company are rising. Han Xuan has helped her invest in many good projects, such as chain pharmacies, clothing companies, game companies, etc.
She also holds a portion of the shares of the super-large copper, gold and silver-companied mine. It has not started to be steadily mined, but as time goes by, it is getting closer and closer to mining time. In addition, the copper price has begun to rise, the value of the mine has more than doubled, and it must have been profitable.
Putting aside these industries that belong to her, Isabelle's parents are also super rich, and they are destined not to worry about money in their entire lives. When it comes to these interesting scientific research topics, they talk a lot more.
Guo Muzhou listened with relish and told him at this time: "Then can't we build a skyscraper, the kind that people can't see?"
"It's true, but this can easily cause disasters, such as a helicopter crashing into it, etc."
Han Xuan thought for a while and found that such a building seemed cool. He continued to say to Isabelle: "You try to study it in this regard. If you can really build such a skyscraper, I might give it a try..."
The people on the plane were chatting, and they were full of energy in the early morning and were not sleepy. In the airplane sealed cabin, there was not much to do except chat and watch movies.
During this period, Han Xuan received a call. Mr. Hamilton of Star Investment told that the total shares of Time Warner Group held by various companies exceeded 50%, which reached exactly 50.1%, achieving its holdings in the world's number one media company.
Being able to acquire so many shares in such a short time greatly exceeded Han Xuan's expectations, which made him begin to have a new understanding of his strength. Such old giants surrendered in front of him. There seems to be no particularly difficult things in the world.
As the price of getting so many shares, Han Xuan spent cash and a small amount of Blueberry Group stocks, with a total amount of more than $50 billion. Now he has controlled Time Warner Group, which is worth it. As early as a few days ago, he had joined hands with the board members to remove former chairman Mr. Case, the former chairman of the board, and successfully grasped the voice of the company.
The reason why he holds more than half of his shares is because a fund management company that is deeply in the Internet crisis agreed to sell him 6.6% of the shares of Time Warner Group, officially taking over Time Warner with an absolute advantage.
After hanging up the phone, Han Xuan thought for a while, then called Executive Kesten Miller again and asked him, "What are you doing?"
"The accounting firm handles accounting, and this year is almost over. I am preparing to summarize the financial report to you.
Boss, do you have something to come to me? If it is a promotion, I checked the sales statistics this morning. In the three days of price reduction promotion, our company has sold more than 46,000 cars worldwide."
The executive Kesten Miller said in a very happy tone because the holiday is about to take place in a few days. After the whole year of busyness, you can take a break, spend some time with your family, go out for a trip, and so on.
Han Xuan then told him: "Is that true? The sales volume is pretty good. You should have sold a lot in the past few days. It's okay to cut prices in the short term. Anyway, you can earn money back from the later maintenance.
But I don’t want to talk to you about this today. Fortunately, in recent days, I have successively acquired some shares of Volkswagen Group, with a share of about 6%. I will continue to increase my holdings in the future until I acquire the controlling stake in this company.
When formulating the next development strategy, remember to consider the German Volkswagen Group and swallow it up within a year. At that time, the market share we have will increase by a lot, and the problems you are worried about will be solved."
The executive Kesten Miller on the other end of the phone was a little confused. He was frightened by this important news and could not recover for a while. He had been with Volkswagen in Germany for a while, but was later poached by the headhunter company. Naturally, he knew how perfect the sales channels of this company were.
After the initial impact, he immediately became excited. As early as the early days of Han’s Automobile Group, he suggested that Han Xuan directly acquire part of the shares of a veteran giant company, but Han Xuan never agreed. Now he suddenly figured it out. Of course, the executive of Kesten Miller was happy, which means saving a lot of development time and also means that the company's scale will expand a lot.
only……
“Volkswagen Group?
...Boss, why did you choose it? Whether it is Germany BMW or Daimler-Benz Group, it is better than acquiring Volkswagen Group.
It’s not that it is not as good as BMW and Mercedes-Benz, but that it is almost impossible to acquire Volkswagen Group. During World War II, it was a German military factory, and later a special bill against Volkswagen Group was promulgated to prevent it from being acquired."
The tone was so funny that the executive of Kesten Miller thought the boss was not clear about this and regarded Volkswagen Group as an ordinary company.
"I know, don't worry about this, I'll handle it."
Han Xuan's words made Executive Kesten Miller think a lot and continued: "If this is the case, that would be great. Volkswagen's mid- and low-end car market is huge, just filling the shortcomings of our company..."
*********************************************
Snow Mountain Ranch.
It snowed again today, but it was not as thick as the 1980s. The impact of global warming continued, with snow falling much less last year than before.
The snowfall this year is not as good as the previous year. The heavy snowfall that Han Xuan could flood people when he was a child has not appeared for many years. The grassland was flooded with a thick layer of snow, and the surface of Rota Lake turned into a flat snow that could not be seen at a glance.
In order to prevent the fish under the lake from dying due to lack of oxygen, the cowboys deliberately cut out several large ice holes, with broken ice floating on the surface, and they can also see the fish that breathable upwards.
The winding Forest River is not deep, but now it is broken because the weather is too cold, and the rafting and hot air balloons cannot be played. Because the snow is not heavy, many tourists on Bachelor Mountain are skiing.
Although several new hotels have been built, compared with the number of tourists who hope to come to the Snow Mountain Ranch for vacation, it is still in a long-term shortage. Especially in winter every year, reservations are not necessarily possible to book a room for reservations half a year in advance. Some people booked last winter and only came here to play this year.
Beef cattle and beef sheep have been sold before winter. The cattle pens and sheep pens they originally lived in were cleaned, and the cattle, alpacas, etc. were locked in a warm room. Because the temperature inside was high, the snow on the roof was much thinner than other places.
The branches of the orchard fruit trees are covered with snow, and the transformed vegetable greenhouse is very warm. Some tourists are playing dog sledding. The sled dogs raised their heads one after another when they heard the roar of planes...
