Chapter 61 Successful Pilot Production of Plephatic Bacteria
Two hours later.
Shenhong Electronics issued an announcement stating that the company is planning to acquire 100% equity of Xin'an Shenlan Technology Co., Ltd. through a combination of share issuance and cash payment, which is expected to constitute a major asset restructuring.
After the announcement was released, the more than 5 shareholders holding the stock were in an uproar.
Mergers and acquisitions of listed companies are considered a major positive factor in the A-share market, often resulting in stock prices doubling. Encountering such a merger is akin to winning a lottery IPO, a rare and highly sought-after event.
The more than 5 retail investors in Shenhong Electronics are undoubtedly lucky; it's no different from winning the lottery.
The current closing price is 3.73 yuan per share. If you didn't buy it today, you probably won't be able to buy it again in the future.
Once the restructuring is completed and the company resumes trading, it will inevitably see a series of limit-up days with decreasing trading volume.
Some are happy while others are sad; those who hold the shares are overjoyed, while those who missed out are filled with envy and jealousy.
Those who originally held the shares but sold them are now kicking themselves.
At this moment, the stock forum of Shenhong Electronics, which had little popularity, suddenly saw a surge in popularity.
[Holy crap, no way? Shenhong Electronics is going to merge and reorganize?]
[Major positive news! Major positive news!]
[Fellow investors in the car, buckle up and get ready for takeoff!]
[I'm devastated! I just cleared out my positions today and this huge piece of good news comes along.]
[He too collapsed before dawn, his legs aching from pounding.]
[I almost couldn't resist cutting myself the day before yesterday, thankfully I held on, otherwise I would have fainted from anger and am now waiting to eat a big piece of meat.]
What does DeepBlue Technology do?
[I don't know, I've never heard of it.]
[I searched online and found it's a startup company, apparently focused on environmental protection.]
[This feels like a scam, don't fall for it.]
……
After their initial excitement, many investors checked DeepBlue Technology and suddenly felt like they had been disappointed.
Because DeepBlue Technology is a startup that was only established recently, and there haven't been any significant achievements yet.
Many investors suspect that Shenhong Electronics is hyping up the restructuring concept to drive up the stock price and attract investors to buy in, only to announce the restructuring failure later and then fleece them.
It's no wonder investors are so skeptical, mainly because the situation at DeepBlue Technology makes it hard to believe that this is a genuine restructuring.
The company's "Shadow" project is top secret, and the "Plastic-Eating Bacteria" project has not been made public. The Zhou family, who knew about this, is finished, and now no one dares to conduct a background check on Deep Blue Technology.
From an investor's perspective, this company has no value whatsoever, so it's not surprising that they suspect it's a speculative restructuring.
……
It's July now.
DeepBlue Technology now has 186 employees and is still expanding.
By November 5th, all the Shadow combat suits ordered by the military in small batches had been produced.
It is worth mentioning that the stealth version of the 191 rifle is not manufactured by Deep Blue Technology, but by another state-owned arsenal that produces all the components according to Deep Blue Technology's requirements.
It was then transported to Deep Blue Technology for final assembly, where it was fitted with stealth technology to match the Shadow Combat Suit.
"Finally done."
Huang Chongwei breathed a sigh of relief. The equipment was neatly stacked on the shelves, and each shockproof box was sealed with a "top secret" sticker.
Lin Chuan stood in the warehouse looking at the rows of boxes, then looked at Huang Chongwei and the others and said, "Everyone has worked hard. The mission is complete. Let's get ready to load and ship the goods."
Several large transport vehicles have already entered DeepBlue Technology's warehouse.
Around 2:30 p.m., the equipment and its repair kits were all loaded onto the truck, and the transport vehicle drove out of DeepBlue Technology.
Lin Chuan returned to his office, and a few minutes later, Jiang Miaolan came in with a document.
"The payment has been transferred to the company, totaling 8.82 million yuan."
She placed the documents on her desk. The payment efficiency was quite fast. The military obviously knew that DeepBlue Technology was a startup and its cash flow wouldn't be very abundant. Normally, the repayment cycle would be very long.
Lin Chuan glanced at it, then signed and stamped the document.
The revenue from this military order was not low, but the profit was not high, with a net profit of only 4412 million yuan.
Some military products can have a profit margin of over 30%, but this is only because the company took a risk and used some clever tricks to achieve such a high profit margin.
The real breakthrough in the 5% profit margin will come with the new pricing mechanism of "target price + incentive profit" implemented in 2019. If the company's actual cost is lower than the target cost, it can even receive an incentive profit of up to 70% of the target profit.
As for the current situation, the profit margin of "small tricks" on fixed points is not that high.
Lin Chuan obviously wouldn't do that. His real benefit in the military industry was that he ensured Deep Blue Technology received protection from the military, which was an invisible benefit.
As for profits, Lin Chuan has plenty of ways to earn them from the civilian market. The current "Plastic Absorption Bacteria" business segment has a revenue of 10 billion yuan, with a net profit of 7.22 million yuan.
……
The date is March 16st.
While Shenhong Group was pushing forward with its backdoor listing and restructuring, the pilot-scale testing of the "plastic-eating bacteria" project was also nearing completion.
Inside the pilot plant of the Hezhu Waste Treatment Center, the last container of plastic waste is churning in the fermentation tank.
Zhao Funing stood in front of the control panel, staring at the data curves on the screen, and picked up the walkie-talkie.
"You can take samples now."
Cui Zhaohan responded beside the fermenter, opened the sampling port, collected 50 ml of turbid liquid in a sterile bottle, and then sent the sample to the testing station, filtered it with filter paper, and weighed it.
Three minutes later, his voice came through the walkie-talkie: "Residual weight 41 grams, initial plastic 1023 grams, degradation rate 96%."
Zhao Funing wrote these numbers down in her notebook. This was the 120th batch of samples since the pilot-scale operation began, with the degradation rate remaining stable at 95% to 98%, with fluctuations not exceeding 3 percentage points.
There were no failures in 120 consecutive batches.
Outside the factory, Lin Chuan was standing at the entrance, next to Li Bingqian, the general manager of the Xin'an Business Department of Henghui Group.
"Mr. Li, have you reviewed the data from the pilot test?"
"I've seen it."
Li Bingqian nodded, his eyes and tone conveying a sense of relief that everything had settled down.
After a moment, Li Bingqian looked at Lin Chuan and said, "Our headquarters believes it's time to hold a press conference to officially announce this major technological innovation. Mr. Lin, what do you think?"
This statement also shows that Li Bingqian now has great respect for Lin Chuan.
The same applies to Henghui Group; they did not rush to make an announcement, but first sought Lin Chuan's opinion.
Clearly, the Zhou family's ordeal in Xin'an City had a significant deterrent effect on Henghui Group, and they now have no doubt that Lin Chuan has a powerful figure protecting him.
Henghui Group was actually eager to announce this achievement as soon as possible, even more so than DeepBlue Technology.
Because Henghui is also a listed company, and its stock price has plummeted recently.
The reason is the dramatic change in the third-quarter financial report, which turned from profit to loss, with a staggering loss of 8.59 million yuan in the third quarter.
The reason for such a huge book loss is that 10 billion yuan was "contributed" to DeepBlue Technology for goods, but there was no sign of the goods, so naturally the cost could not be recovered, let alone a profit.
The details of the cooperation between Henghui Group and DeepBlue Technology have not been disclosed, and the pilot-scale tests are kept confidential due to commercial confidentiality.
The increased R&D investment was reflected in the third-quarter financial report, but from the investor's perspective, Henghui Group's loss of two years' worth of net profit in just one quarter was quite alarming.
The result was a panic sell-off, causing the company's stock price to plummet.
As of now, the company's market value has fallen to 89 billion, with a cumulative drop of -57% since the release of the third quarter report, exceeding the halving threshold.
At this moment, Li Bingqian looked at Lin Chuan, waiting for his reply.
Lin Chuan thought for a moment and then nodded: "No problem, let's hold a joint press conference. Your company will host it, and I'll attend."
Li Bingqian replied, "Okay, I'll report to headquarters right away and make sure everything is in order."
He could imagine that once this achievement was announced to the public, it would inevitably cause a huge sensation.
Moreover, Li Bingqian will make a fortune, because during this period when Henghui's stock price plummeted, he used his wife's stock account to buy a lot of Henghui's shares at the bottom.
As soon as the results are announced, Henghui's stock price will definitely take off.
