Volume 2 Qianlong Chapter 26 Dreams, Speechlessness and Yamamoto¡¯s Secret

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Because of energy conservation and emission reduction, as well as some strategic considerations, there are many domestic restrictions on steel plants and large chemical companies, especially steel plants, which are basically unable to obtain approval.  Australia does not have any famous steel companies and its output is not large, but it is one of the main producing areas of iron ore and is also very rich in other mineral resources.

    Domestic research on alloy materials is very average, and the quality of mass production is even worse.  When Li Zhuang thought that he could not invest in a steel plant in China, he thought of investing in Australia. He mentioned this to Da Mian during dinner.

    ¡°Where do you plan to invest in the steel plant?¡± Da Mian asked.

    "Is it okay in the desert near the Fitzroy River?" Li Zhuang said.

    "You're crazy! This is not how you spend your money." Da Mian suspected that Li Zhuang was joking. "It would be okay if you plan to set up a desert management company. We have subsidies, although they are not much, so our investment should be regarded as  We do good for society.¡±

    "Can I obtain ownership of a large piece of land?" Li Zhuang didn't want to discuss this with him.

    "As long as you can afford the land use tax and related taxes, it's not a big problem, let alone in the desert. Of course, if there is resource development, the government will also collect taxes, and it won't give you a free advantage in vain."

    Being familiar with Australia, I immediately introduced Australia¡¯s tax issues to Li Zhuang in detail.  Taxation in Australia is not as complicated as in China. Although there is a lot of public land, there are no strict restrictions on individuals purchasing private land. This is something Li Zhuang has always longed for.

    "Taxation is not a problem. I just want absolute private land ownership, and as long as the taxes are used for social welfare, I am willing to pay the bill."

    "How much area of ??desert do you plan to buy to manage?"

    "Is twenty thousand square kilometers okay?" Li Zhuang rarely spoke loudly.

    "Are you going to be the king of the natives in the desert? There are only 200,000 natives in the country. I'm afraid it would be meaningless for you to become the king." There was a hint of sarcasm on Da Mian's face.

    "I'm serious, not joking!" Li Zhuang reminded him knowing that this sounded a bit outrageous.

    Da Mian rolled his eyes, looking defeated by him, but he didn't bother anymore, and the two discussed the details together.

    The financial problem is not big. Li Zhuang has many good things in his hands, but their domestic applications are limited. However, the company's Perth headquarters has turned his ideas into reality. Even the computer security manager has been upgraded to a system management software with rich functions.  Can be used on all terminals.  The research, production and business teams at the headquarters have developed rapidly, and related departments have been established one after another. The computer software and automation departments are the most outstanding, with many high-level researchers.  After getting involved in the equipment manufacturing industry, the sales of automation systems have been on the rise, and he has accumulated a lot of wealth in the past two years.  Although stimulated by United Technologies Corporation, there are two levels of pseudo-intelligence on the market. It is estimated that it will be possible to enter level three within two years. However, Li Zhuang is not afraid. The pure software simulation core he developed has been tested by the big speaker.  After repeated improvements, the execution efficiency has been greatly improved, which is enough to cope with peers.  In terms of peripheral modules, it has little to do with computers. It is limited by the development level of other industries, so you can take your time.

    Land and tax issues can be big or small.

    The conditions in the Great Sandy Desert are very harsh, and the Fitzroy River in the north does not have a large amount of water. Unlike in China, local officials do not have that much power.  If you want to buy desert land, there are many issues involved, such as environmental groups, relocation of indigenous people, water intake routes and allocable water resources, desert geography, development permits, agricultural land restrictions, etc.  Local government is also very important. Just like in the country, if you fix the power execution department, you will get twice the result with half the effort in many cases.

    Australia¡¯s taxes are very heavy. Income tax, payroll tax, marginal benefit tax, pensions, leave reserves, medical insurance, etc. all need to be paid by enterprises, which is estimated to be about 52%.  There is no general idea of ??how much tax the super estate that Li Zhuang plans to open will pay in the future. After all, this has never happened before.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT???  Buying a piece of desert to manage and become a super-large farm owner has been his dream since he was a child.  No matter how heavy the taxation in Australia is, it will not be heavier than the 64% or more in China.  It's not that he didn't think of other places, such as Mauritania or Mali in Africa, the north of the country, and Tarim, but they were either very chaotic or had no ownership.  He doesn't like chaos any more than he likes Indian culture.  As for not having ownership, he would definitely not do it.  There is another big problem when going to Africa. He doesn't like black people very much. It's not a matter of racial discrimination, it's purely aesthetic.

    Regarding desert control, Guobao's biotechnology laboratory has related research projects. Li Zhuang thought that he had not communicated with Guobao for a long time, so he had to go over and learn about the relevant situation.  Unexpectedly, early the next morning, he was blocked by Zhou Qisen's foursome. The topics they talked about were the power lithium battery combination and some troubles it brought.Wesson Technology is relatively calm internally, but a bit shaken externally.  The status of Chinese people overseas is not high. After all, they are in the minority. There are also many local forces in Australia that are unfriendly to China.

    The issue of power battery modules has become a hot topic now.  Wesen Technology (K City) Co., Ltd. was invested and established by Alta Technology Fund registered in the British Virgin Islands.  Theoretically, Wilson-Lee United Technologies was tied to Wesson Technologies, but after Li Zhuang and Lisa got married, the actual management was like United Technologies registering the Alta Technology Fund, and then investing in and establishing Wilson Technologies.  In the eyes of most people, this is a typical Australian capital investment enterprise, and both overseas and domestic people basically think so.

    This is no better than advertising in the past. Several automobile companies in this province are quite strong. It is rare that they have not messed with Wesson Technology and launched electric vehicles very quickly.  Electric vehicles accounted for half of the new cars sold in the provincial capital alone during this period.  All new taxis will be electric, and because of subsidies, electric vehicles are very suitable for the bus and taxi industries.  Taxi drivers are the most frequent users of cars. They all praise it, saying it is very convenient and the cost is low.  Think about it, a city in the south only purchased some symbolically as a symbol of advancement, but this time it was really used on a large scale.

    Electric vehicle concept stocks are rising across the board, and the curve is soaring. Several listed companies authorized by Wesson Technology have been trading at their daily limit for a week.

    Domestic online public opinion said that Wesson Technology basically uses Chinese scientists and engineers, but it has made the world's first practical electric vehicle power supply solution. This shows that the Chinese people are not bad, and they turn to attack the authorities and say that they are not good enough.  Know how to use people.  Others denounced the laboratory employees as traitors who specialize in making domestic profits for foreign capital.

    Some people are trolls, some people have their brains burned out, and some people are just out of anger.  In recent years, river crabs have been rampant, and the authorities dare not scold them. Even if they did, they would be deleted by the website administrators, so they had no choice but to scold the battery development unit.

    Some people are thinking about increasing electricity prices, some are thinking about charging more parking fees, and some are thinking about Kaka's upstream raw materials in exchange for chips that will account for a greater proportion of profits. Anyway, the two domestic giants do not want to see this scene. All kinds of people are thinking about it.  Forces with different ideas fought fiercely.

    The Western Australian government is very tough this time. Australia is not strong and there are not many people, but few people don¡¯t like to put money on themselves and are afraid that others will remember their good things.  Everyone thinks that Wesson Technology is an Australian-funded enterprise, and its parent company is registered in Western Australia.  As for the Alta Fund, no one takes it seriously. Do they still think that a famous state-owned enterprise registered in the bvi is a foreign enterprise?  It's just to avoid some financial systems and other considerations.

    Australia is a federal system, and Western Australia has strong local influence.  Parliament has been noisy for a week, rejecting the technology blockade proposal and deciding to allow United Technologies to increase local investment in Australia.  Australia attaches great importance to environmental protection, and electric vehicles must be implemented as soon as possible.

    Domestic authorities are afraid of chain reactions, and the management of foreign-funded enterprises is not that simple.  If policies are issued to ban foreign-invested enterprises at will, in an environment where private rights are generally recognized, the impact on international public opinion will be very bad.

    With their abilities, it was easy for them to know that Li Zhuang was a native of their own country and also held shares in the parent company of Wesson Technology. They repeatedly told him not to immigrate and that the country would take good care of him to prevent foreign forces from getting stuck in domestic technology in the future.

    Li Zhuang was somewhat fortunate that he signed a private agreement at that time, allowing Da Mian to take 70% of the shares in the company, and he would get 30%.  However, this kind of business operation is meaningless now. He and Da Mian are son-in-law, and his son Da Mian's grandson will be the first legal heir of United Technologies, not to mention that he and Lisa plan to have more children.  This kind of blood relationship cannot be avoided in Da Mian no matter what, and Da Mian's family is warm and happy. He has reached this age, and according to his personality, the variables can be ignored.

    Citigroup is in chaos. There were originally many companies engaged in basic research and invested a lot of money. This time, they were suddenly overtaken by others. It was unacceptable both psychologically and profitably.  Many companies have sued Wesson Technology, claiming that they have patents first and that Wesson Technology's production process is suspected of stealing secrets.  It feels difficult to deal with it even when you calm down. The patents applied by Wesson Technology in various countries are much more comprehensive than theirs, covering all fields.  This is not a good thing to attack the Chinese authorities. How about attacking the Australian government?  The parent company of Wesson Technology is an Australian-funded enterprise, and its verbal attacks have been somewhat restrained. It either focuses on technical issues or requires patent sharing.

    Those car companies that do not have strong electric vehicle research capabilities are strengthening cooperation with Wesson Technology to gain the opportunity to enter the market. It will take some time to increase the production capacity of new power modules.  Their engineers have analyzed the samples provided by Wesson Technology, and the technology upgrade is very linear.  existing technologyTechnical solutions are enough to make hybrid and electric vehicles mainstream, leaving traditional fuel vehicles without a market in the next five years. Electric motors have sufficient advantages.

    People who are studying lithium manganate are suspicious. They are afraid that lithium iron phosphate is really the direction of the future and that their hard work and investment will be in vain. Various research institutions have held meetings to discuss countermeasures.

    In the first two years of researching lithium iron phosphate, I was overwhelmed by lithium manganate. This time, it was like a shot of chicken blood. I felt that my choice was truly wise and wise. Venture capital institutions and battery companies have stepped up their efforts.  Invest.

    Those who are researching nickel, cobalt and manganese continue to work hard. Anyway, they feel that their field still has a future and cannot be used as power batteries. Do you still dare to compare me with batteries for portable devices?

    Those who study supercapacitors either initiate a lawsuit or feel that supercapacitor batteries really have a future, but now they are just a little more expensive and have more problems.

    The company¡¯s legal department was so busy that Zhang Kai had to start recruiting people again.  Fortunately, now that he is well-known, many big lawyers have expressed their willingness to come and help. However, the number of supervisors is limited, and their income is too high, and the company cannot afford to pay them enough.

    "Every bustle in the world comes for fame, and all the hustle and bustle in the world comes for benefit."  Li Zhuang felt that this was too correct, and it only took one power battery to cause such trouble.  If other things develop, it is estimated that the Legal Affairs Office will have to be expanded into the Legal Department and litigants will be filed every day.

    "Haha, it's all nonsense, it's inevitable." After everyone discussed it, Li Zhuang said with a smile.

    Zhou Qisen was speechless when he heard this. Zhang Kai took over, "I didn't understand your insidiousness before, but now I feel that the shares and high salary you gave me are not easy to get. Forget it, I won't argue with you."

    "It won't work for either of us if we change positions. The one who can do more work has to do more work. You can't ask me to do something I don't know how to do, right?!" Li Zhuang immediately stepped in.

    Zhang Kai choked, and everyone around him laughed, and then dispersed.  It is rare for the management to discuss these gossipy topics together. There are many troublesome things and everyone is busy.

    After sending the management away, Li Zhuang lay in a chair in a daze, feeling that his thinking was too simple. It seemed that dreaming was easier than doing.  The power problem has become more and more serious in recent years. There are now many diesel generators in industrial areas and the cost is high.  This is still local protectionism. In some places, you really can¡¯t make much money.  In addition, if it were not for the advanced manufacturing expert system, profitability would be greatly reduced.  If you use an ordinary rigid automation system, not to mention the failure rate, just changing the work clothes will cost you a lot of time.

    "This guy Thomas could be an agent? It's really unbelievable. Is CIA out of his mind? How come they recruit all kinds of people?" Li Zhuang suddenly thought of Yamamoto's friend Thomas.  After the power module was upgraded, Thomas called him and asked if he was interested in immigrating to Citi.

    Li Zhuang refused on the spot, saying that it was good to stay in China. He had an Australian green card and liked Australia very much. His wife¡¯s relatives were all in Australia and he didn¡¯t want to develop in a strange place like Citi Country.  He did not forget to ask Thomas to take care of Liu Jing. After all, Liu Jing was still studying there.  One yard after another, he felt that Thomas was a nice person and they had something in common.  Of course, this may not be without the intention of beating Thomas up and telling him not to make a fuss about Liu Jing and Liu Ge's family.

    Thomas¡¯s answer made Li Zhuang dumbfounded. This guy actually said, ¡°I am a senior agent and will not do low-level work like coercing hostages. Don¡¯t worry.¡±

    Frankly speaking, Li Zhuang has a good impression of Citigroup.  This country attaches great importance to the basics, is willing to invest, has sound laws, a good environment, and a strong middle class.  However, he doesn't like the Citigroup consortium and hates financial speculators to the core, thinking that those people are scum.  They have taken over most of society's wealth through manipulation and passed on the consequences they caused to ordinary people through economic crises over and over again.

    Thinking of Thomas, Li Zhuang thought of Singer whose name was hard to pronounce, so he picked up the phone and called Da Mian to ask him to pay attention.

    Da Mian felt confused and asked: "Who is Singh, which Singh? There are a bunch of Indians with the surname of Singh and a bunch of doctors. Don't worry, people of his caliber will not look down on us in the short term."

    Putting down the phone, Li Zhuang smiled self-deprecatingly. He was often nervous now and seemed to have not adapted to the role.  DaMian pays great attention to employees in industrial espionage and related departments. The Perth headquarters has established a security department and a human resources department to control some unexpected risks.  The model is similar to that here, which is all about relationships within relationships, but foreign countries may not be as smart as domestic players. After all, there are still some differences in culture.

    Thomas and Singer are both powerful characters, but Li Zhuang feels that the smartest among the three of them is Yamamoto.  Thinking of Yamamoto, he always felt sorry for him, but it was a pity that he was Japanese.  The big horn has dug out Yamamoto's bottom, even trivial things like his liking for gardenias and eating bloody steakTao.  His father is a professor at the University of Tokyo and has two PhDs; his mother works at MIT and also has a PhD.  As for Yamamoto's own resume, Li Zhuang was shocked when he saw it. Thirty-five-year-old Yamamoto was not married yet. Although he seemed dull and dull, he had a doctorate in three fields: physics, computer and electrochemistry.  Got it from three different prestigious schools.

    "Has this guy been studying all this time? No wonder he has become a little dull." Li Zhuang thought to himself, his desire to recruit him into the company became stronger, but he was still a little worried.  The Japanese are famous for their stubbornness. In order to achieve their goals, it is not impossible to sacrifice themselves. The smarter the people, the more stubborn they are.

    This guy has been coming to him for a while now, wanting to join the company.  Li Zhuang's requirements for him were very harsh. He was asked to marry a Chinese girl, become an Australian citizen, and have children before he could work in a laboratory. He had to sign a work contract of at least twenty years, have it notarized by the government, and be published in a newspaper.

    Unexpectedly, this guy agreed readily. Li Zhuang was shocked and wondered if there was something wrong with him. "I can agree to such harsh conditions. Do I plan to sell it to a company or do something like the ancient Japanese daimyo?"  My warrior?"

    He had a beautiful thought, and he just hoped that Yamamoto would not disappoint him.  It would be a shame for such an outstanding talent to become a spy. Big Speaker will not be lenient.  ;
