Chapter 1029: Six Academicians from One Family

Ten newly elected academicians, including Huang Qiang and Zhao Xing, were invited to attend the evening academician dinner.

After all, from now on, they are also considered to be members of the academician team.

Huang Qiang and Zhao Xing saw Liu Tao and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Teacher!"

Even though they graduated so many years ago, they still called Liu Tao "Teacher" in private.

"Well, you two are good. You have finally been elected as academicians, but you can't be proud. You have to continue to work hard. If you are proud and lazy, it will go against the original intention of being elected as academicians." Liu Tao nodded slightly and encouraged the two.

Liu Tao has always been very concerned about these two first batch students.

The two have also worked hard, and they have been relatively smooth over the years.

"Congratulations to the two seniors!" At this time, Liu Ziyu and Chen Nianzhen came over and congratulated the two on their election as academicians with a smile on their faces.

Huang Qiang smiled bitterly and said, "It's been a long time since we last met, you two junior sisters. You two were elected just a few years after graduation, but we are all bald now!"

"That's right, if we don't get elected as academicians, we won't be able to go to the next gathering!" Zhao Hua nodded repeatedly.

The brothers and sisters of the same school would have a dinner together every year before the Spring Festival.

They have persisted for so many years, and Liu Tao sometimes attends and sometimes is absent.

Chen Nianzhen said, "Speaking of gatherings, this year we will have a dinner on the rooftop of our company's headquarters in Fuxian Lake. I also hope that the two senior brothers will bring their sisters-in-law and children to the scene. Ziyu and I have been preparing for this year's gathering for a long time. Ziyu also begged for several bottles of good wine from the teacher!"

The headquarters building of 'Dandelion' Technology Company in Fuxian Lake has been fully built and moved in.

As for the office building originally located in Dianchi Lake, it is used as a branch office location.

Although the two's wealth has shrunk significantly due to the bursting of the Internet bubble, they actually cashed out continuously last year, and even this year's quarterly and semi-annual financial reports have not been announced. During this period, they have continued to absorb shares and increase their holdings in the company.

Liu Ziyu now holds 60% of the shares, Chen Nianzhen holds 30% of the shares, and only 10% are actually held by stockholders and investment institutions in the market.

At its peak, the market value of "Dandelion" exceeded 3 trillion Hong Kong dollars, but now it is less than 150 billion Hong Kong dollars, a drop of more than 95%. Other Internet companies have fallen very hard.

However, Liu Ziyu and Chen Nianzhen are sitting on the Diaoyutai, because the company's financial situation is actually very good, the company's profits have actually hit a record high, and the two of them have a lot of cash in their hands, so the company has not laid off employees so far.

Liu Ziyu and Chen Nianzhen admire Liu Tao for his foresight last year.

"Really!?" Huang Qiang and Zhao Hua couldn't help but brighten their eyes, because they all knew that Liu Tao's most abundant thing is good wine.

When they were still studying, Liu Ziyu would occasionally get good wine from Liu Tao, which was unforgettable for them.

Liu Ziyu smiled and said, "My brother was very generous this time and gave me ten bottles of good wine, enough for us to drink!"

"Then I'm looking forward to it!" Yang Wei came over with a smile on his face, and then congratulated Huang Qiang and Zhao Hua, "Two senior brothers, congratulations on your election as academicians!"

Everyone was talking and laughing, walking together.

On the eve of New Year's Day, the list of elected academicians for this session came out, and was published on the official websites of Huazhong University of Science and Technology and the Academy of Engineering, and reported on CCTV and Renren Daily.

The universities, research institutions, cities, and provinces where the 20 newly elected academicians are located announced this good news to the public on the homepage of their official websites.     This also caused heated discussions in the society. These new 20 academicians became famous all over the country and were well known to ordinary people.

From December 31 to January 1, 2001, grand celebrations were held around the world to welcome the arrival of the new millennium.

Celebrations are also underway at Fuxian Lake, with fireworks constantly blooming in the sky and a fireworks show going on.

The area around Fuxian Lake is included in the control scope. Currently, in addition to various scientific research institutions, senior nursing homes, senior sanatoriums, tourist hotels, etc., the only company built here is the "Dandelion" Technology Company!

The environment on the top of the "Dandelion" headquarters building is very beautiful. It is an open-air venue with green vegetation and various flowers. There are also restaurants, coffee shops, milk tea shops, and dessert shops. These are all made by Liu Ziyu and her friends, and they are completely free.

After get off work, "Dandelion" employees can come here to eat, drink coffee, milk tea, tea, taste desserts, and then look at the beautiful scenery of Fuxian Lake.

The housing prices around Fuxian Lake are currently the highest in the mainland, and it is the first place in the country to break through 20,000/square meter. The housing prices here are even higher than those around Dianchi Lake, and second only to Hong Kong and Macao in the country.

Those who can buy a house here are either rich or rich!

At this time, there was no one around in the rooftop restaurant. This area was the best. You could see Fuxian Lake and the fireworks show.

Liu Ziyu and her friends were having a party here.

Except for Liu Ziyu and Chen Nianzhen, who brought their nephews and nieces, the others brought their spouses and children.

The table was already filled with all kinds of delicacies.

There were all kinds of seafood such as king crabs, big red dragons, winter crabs, groupers, and yellow croakers, as well as wild boar meat and other wild game in the mountains.

There were Moutai and wine for wine, and various top-grade teas for tea.

Even for steak, the best was chosen.

For today's party, Liu Ziyu even invited a retired imperial chef to cook.

The two are among the richest people in the country, and they don't feel anything about spending this little money.

Even Chen Weihong, Liu Tao's doctoral student who has not yet graduated, attended tonight's party.

"Aunt, the scenery here is so beautiful, and it's so wonderful to work here!" Chen Weihong couldn't help but admire.

This is her first time here. Before this, she was at the Panshan Group headquarters, and at most she played around Dianchi Lake.

Chen Weihong, 26 years old this year, just passed Liu Tao's master's thesis and got a master's degree certificate and a master's degree certificate.

"Their headquarters is the only building around Fuxian Lake, and it was specially approved! Other companies want to build headquarters here, but they can't." Huang Qiang smiled, "In terms of environmental protection, their company here represents the most advanced level in the country."

"We pay a lot of taxes, and this year's tax payments have exceeded 20 billion yuan! And the real estate here, we play a huge role in driving it." Liu Ziyu said.

After the preferential policies, Dandelion Technology Company has become a major taxpayer, and the total tax amount has been rising every year.

Even though the Internet bubble burst this year, the tax amount of Dandelion Technology Company is still rising.

This is just the company's tax amount, and there is also the personal income tax paid by employees, which is also very considerable, with a total tax amount of more than 5 billion yuan a year!
