The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot novel Chapter 464

Chapter 464: Chapter 424: The Third Disciple, the Number One Ancient Martial Artist! [9 updates]

On the large screen, the names of two investors and the amounts of their investments were clearly displayed.

Venus Group: 200 billion

Lorentz Family: 100 billion

Total: 300 billion.

The allocation of the 300 billion in funds for the laboratory was also listed below.

The Cosmic Carrier project was simply too enormous, with a significant portion of the expenses going to the researchers’ costs in the laboratory alone.

Not to mention the need to purchase rare metal materials and the like.

The Cosmic Carrier proposed by Professor Herwen differed from the current spaceships.

Its speed was supposed to reach the true speed of light, capable of traveling to star systems billions of light years away, just as many sci-fi movies have depicted.

By manipulating the control buttons, space jumps could be made, truly leaping billions of miles in one bound.

But the current level of technology simply couldn’t support the successful birth of the Cosmic Carrier.

It would take at least another fifty years for it to be possible.

So the middle-aged man refused to invest because it was a bottomless pit.

Now, however, the number 300 billion displayed on the big screen felt like a slap in his face.

The middle-aged man’s face was iron blue.

Venus Group’s investment was somewhat understandable, but for what reason did the Lorentz Family invest?

"..."

At that moment, all sounds abruptly ceased.

For Continent O, both the Lorentz Family and Venus Group were like a pair of aces.

The media had forgotten to keep filming, and the viewers watching the live broadcast had gone mad.

"Where is the prophet from yesterday? Come out, how impressive, Professor Herwen actually managed to invite both the Lorentz Family and Venus Group."

"Invited two at once! Herwen’s impressive!"

"I’m dying of laughter, did you see? The Pazzi Family’s faces have turned green; even Herwen doesn’t care for their investment with the Lorentz Family involved."

"Venus Group, although they have invested in scientific research projects before, has never dealt with such a huge sum. Why do I feel like Venus Group and the Lorentz Family are now at loggerheads?"

"Me on the surface: You guys stop fighting! Me inside: Fight, fight, fight!"

Herwen glanced at the reaction of the media and others below the stage, then asked in a low voice, "See, did we scare them to death?"

The assistant was very pleased, "Scared to death."

Teacher Ying is Teacher Ying, indeed, with an entrance that flips the entire scene.

Originally, Venus Group had only planned on investing thirty billion, but then they suddenly changed their minds.

200 billion!

When the assistant asked for the reason, the other side indicated they were not clear, only mentioning that the order came directly from above.

But the assistant was certain, this investment was also pulled in by Ying Zijin.

The assistant smiled amicably, "Does anyone have any other questions?"

"Please, Professor Herwen," a reporter stammered, "who is this researcher?"

For a project of the Cosmic Carrier’s caliber, the researchers’ identities in the laboratory were encrypted, and even if one tried to investigate, it would be impossible to find them.

Only when the project is eventually successful would the researchers be announced in sequence according to their contributions.

"Sorry, we can’t disclose that," the assistant shook his head and smiled, "The only thing I can say is that she is the lead researcher aside from the professor."

Lead researcher!

This term sent a shock through the media.

If the Cosmic Carrier were indeed successfully developed, this researcher would surely be remembered by the entire world.

Their minds had begun already to go over some names of physicists.

"So, Mr. Pazzi, rest assured, the laboratory will continue to operate," this time, it was Herwen himself who spoke, his gaze settling on the middle-aged man, "Later when the Cosmic Carrier is successfully developed, we will consult with the Lorentz Family and Venus Group."

"We’ll see if they would like to offer Mr. Pazzi a ticket on the ship."

Herwen was generally mild-mannered and not one to quibble with others.

But this time, the Pazzi Family intended to interfere with his laboratory.

If it weren’t for the timely investment from the Lorentz Family and Venus Group, even if the laboratory still had money, the Pazzi Family would have exerted strong pressure on it.

This was something Herwen could not tolerate.

Now, the media’s cameras were aimed at the middle-aged man, and they began to ask questions in a flurry.

"Mr. Pazzi, you withdrew your investment, but the Lorentz Family immediately invested 100 billion. Does this prove that they are very optimistic about the project, and that your judgment is not up to mark?"

"I’ve heard that the Pazzi Family and the Lorentz Family have a deep historical connection. Mr. Pazzi, do you think the Lorentz Family is intentionally going against you?"
