novelTele Chapter 62 Press Conference
Chapter 62 Press Conference
Friday, June 11.
The press conference is scheduled for 10:00 AM in the conference hall of the Xin'an Business Department of Xin'an Henghui Group.
Previously, Henghui Group had issued a public announcement stating that it had significant innovative technological achievements to announce.
At 9:30 a.m., the A-share market opened for the morning, and Henghui's stock price opened 3.58% higher. It quickly rose to 9.52%, almost hitting the daily limit.
However, the price subsequently fell sharply, with heavy selling pressure from above. Many people chose to take advantage of the news-driven rebound in the stock price and quickly exit.
Clearly, investors believe this is just a rebound.
What major technological achievement could reverse a quarterly loss of 8 million?
The expectations for this industry sector are not high to begin with, and there is not much room for imagination. Even if there is a technological breakthrough, how much room for incremental growth can there be?
Around 9:50.
People from DeepBlue Technology also arrived. Lin Chuan arrived with Zhao Funing and several other members of the Plasticizing Microbes project team.
Ten minutes later, the press conference started on time.
On the Henghui Group side, Li Bingqian's rank was not high enough, so the person representing Henghui was Zhou Chengyue, the company's vice president, who flew in specifically from Shanghai.
"Dear friends from the media, thank you for coming today." Zhou Chengyue's voice resounded throughout the hall: "Today, Henghui Group and DeepBlue Technology are jointly holding this press conference to officially announce a major revolutionary technological achievement."
Zhou Chengyue stepped aside to reveal the screen behind him, which displayed a photo. Reporters in the audience immediately focused their cameras on it.
It was a transparent petri dish containing a pale yellow liquid with some white sediment at the bottom.
"This is a type of microorganism developed by DeepBlue Technology, a genetically modified bacterial group, namely, plastic-eating bacteria. As the name suggests, this microorganism feeds specifically on plastic."
Microorganisms that feed exclusively on plastic?
The media reporters in the audience all looked surprised, and many were skeptical.
Zhou Chengyue continued, "Under normal temperature and pressure, plastic-degrading bacteria can efficiently degrade common plastics."
He shifted his gaze from his prepared remarks to the reporters in the audience.
"Plastics including PET, PE, PS, PP, and PVC can all be completely degraded within seven to thirty days. The degradation products are mainly carbon dioxide and water, with a small amount of minerals. The entire degradation process is non-toxic and harmless."
Zhou Chengyue further emphasized: "This is the cleanest and most environmentally friendly white pollution treatment solution known in the world."
The reporters in the audience were in an uproar.
A buzz of discussion immediately arose, and everyone's faces showed shock and disbelief.
Whether it's microorganisms eating plastic, efficiently degrading it, or producing harmless byproducts, it's all big news, and combining them together is even more remarkable.
If Henghui Group isn't exaggerating, it means that the white pollution that has plagued humanity for seventy or eighty years will finally have an unprecedented and outstanding solution.
Highly efficient and environmentally friendly.
Zhou Chengyue continued playing the next slide.
This is a comparison image.
On the left is the traditional plastic recycling process.
Sorting, washing, crushing, melting, granulation—a long series of steps, each with its own cost.
The right side shows the flowchart of the plasminogen lysate scheme.
It is put into a fermentation tank, where bacteria and nutrient solution are released, and then it is left to degrade.
Zhou Chengyue turned to the next page, which contained a time-lapse video.
In the video, a piece of PET plastic film is immersed in liquid. Time starts from zero, the edges of the film slowly become blurred, cracks appear on the surface, it breaks into small pieces, becomes particles, and finally disappears completely.
The entire process was compressed into thirty seconds in the video.
"The pilot-scale testing has been completed at the Hezhu processing center of Henghui Xin'an Business Department, which has processed more than 200 tons of plastic waste with a stable degradation rate of over 95%."
Some reporters in the audience began taking notes rapidly in their notebooks, while others raised their cameras to take pictures.
"Next, please welcome Mr. Lin Chuan, founder of DeepBlue Technology and technical leader of the Biophagocytic Microbiota project, to give us further technical explanations."
After Zhou Chengyue finished speaking, he left the podium.
A moment later, Lin Chuan walked onto the stage, and all the reporters' eyes were focused on him.
The reporters present were all surprised when they saw Lin Chuan.
Those who meet Lin Chuan for the first time are immediately attracted by his appearance, which is completely different from what they imagined. They never expected that the founder of DeepBlue Technology would be such a handsome young man.
Lin Chuan walked steadily and calmly onto the stage, his name and position displayed on the large screen behind him.
Lin Chuan didn't bring a prepared speech. He looked around at everyone and slowly said, "Good morning, I am Lin Chuan. I would like to take ten minutes to answer three questions."
Get straight to the point, quick and to the point.
Lin Chuan then raised his first finger.
"First, is the plasminoid bacteria real? Yes, it is."
"The pilot test data will be made public, and any qualified third-party organization can verify it."
"We welcome verification and we welcome questioning; scientific things are not afraid of being questioned."
Lin Chuan then raised his second finger.
"Second, are plasminoides safe? Yes, they are."
"Plastic-eating bacteria only recognize specific plastic polymers, have no degradation activity on other materials, and are harmless to the human body."
"It requires a special nutrient solution to maintain its activity and reproduce. Without this nutrient solution, it will become inactive within 72 hours in the natural environment, unable to colonize or spread, and therefore poses no risk to the ecosystem."
Lin Chuan paused for a moment, then raised his third finger.
"Third, when can plastic-eating bacteria be used on a large scale? We have completed laboratory research and development and pilot-scale verification, and are currently undergoing biosafety assessment and environmental release approval."
"The company will continue to release information about the specific progress of the subsequent engineering and industrialization phases."
……
Meanwhile, in the capital markets...
Henghui's stock price immediately surged, hitting the daily limit up price in seconds and locking in the limit up.
Some retail investors who didn't follow the press conference were completely bewildered and had no idea what had happened.
There was also a trading volume of 1.7 million yuan at the limit-up price, most of which were retail investors who were trapped and happened to break even at this point, or who chose to sell when they were close to their cost line.
Many people sold during the rapid rise and fall in the morning.
Others believe it was just a one-day phenomenon, merely a rebound.
But as time went on, the news began to spread after the press conference ended, and stock software started pushing out breaking news, causing the popularity of Henghui Group's stock to soar.
This caused quite a stir in the stock's online forum comment section.
Those who bought shares today must be furious; such a huge positive development has sent Henghui soaring.
[What's going on? What happened?]
[A company called DeepBlue Technology, the one that's going public through a reverse merger with Shenhong Electronics, has invented a microorganism that eats plastic. You can search online for details. In short, it provides a clean, environmentally friendly, and efficient solution to the white pollution that has plagued humanity for seventy or eighty years.]
[What is the relationship with Henghui?]
[It's okay? Henghui and DeepBlue Technology have reached a strategic cooperation agreement.]
[Holy crap! I sold 70% of my position to do a quick trade, but it's gone too fast! Can I buy it back?]
[You're overthinking it. The price has already hit the daily limit; it's impossible to buy in. It'll definitely open at the limit up next week.]
[This is insane! I cleared everything out this morning, and then this huge positive news suddenly came out at noon?]
[Haha, I didn't expect to be so lucky with my first bet! Too bad I didn't buy enough.]
