- When Li Zhuang left Citi Country, it was early June and the weather was hot. After getting on the plane at Los Angeles International Airport, he did not return directly to his country, but flew to Perth first. Mr. Wilson was about to turn seventy-five and was preparing to hold a grand banquet. Lisa, her mother Sophia and their three children returned to Port Hedland. Of course, as his grandson-in-law, it was impossible for him to turn a blind eye. That was not an ordinary disrespect, but extremely excessive.
Li Zhuang likes to attend birthday banquets for the elderly. Anyone who has a 90th birthday in the family around K City will definitely receive a big personal gift from him. This habit of respecting the elderly was quite puzzling within the company. Only Guo Bao knew it, but did not ridicule him because this guy had the same problem.
After arriving in Perth, seeing that Mr. Wilson's birthday banquet was still half a month away, Li Zhuang walked around the headquarters of United Technologies in Perth, mainly to familiarize himself with the environment of the headquarters and understand the progress of research and development. Most of the supervisors were We all know each other, but there are many new people. The headquarters has been expanding rapidly this year.
This is Li Zhuang¡¯s first visit to the Australian headquarters in the six years since United Technologies was established. The company¡¯s management basically knows him because he has been to K City many times. The inner circle of Da Mian can understand, but the peripheral employees feel that he is too grand. The real reason is surprisingly simple.
The administrative building of United Technologies Corporation¡¯s Perth headquarters is a four-story building. There are fewer people and more land. The administrative building covers an area of ??nearly 30 acres. The shape is nothing special, similar to the surrounding buildings, not as unusual as the Hexagonal Building. Da Mian's office was on the fourth floor, and the security guard took the visitors directly to the chairman's office. Da Mian looked up from the pile of documents and greeted Li Zhuang happily.
"Daniel, let me introduce you to the company's management. There are some new people. I'm so busy that I don't even know who they are. Forget it, I'll give you a list."
Da Mian has lost some weight and is not as strong as before, but his Chinese skills have improved a lot. Li Zhuang thought it was just right. Da Mian was not young now. If he got fatter, he would have to consider going to the hospital. Common diseases such as high blood pressure and hyperlipidemia would probably be inevitable.
Da Mian called his secretary to send over the list and started talking to Li Zhuang.
"How does it feel to stay in Citi Country? Now the financial crisis seems to be coming back, and all countries are issuing banknotes indiscriminately. It's really a headache. Andrew has to work overtime every day. The Mr. Mei you called here is good, and he cooperates well with Andrew."
"It feels like there are many crises over there. There are too many people in Citigroup, and the employment pressure is great. The Great Leap Forward of automated equipment has caused many ordinary people to lose their jobs. Mr. Mei? Are you talking about Mei Yifan?"
There is more than one person with the surname Mei in United Technologies Corporation's Financial Division. His brother Mei Yichen and his family of five also followed Mei Yifan to Australia. Even their family moved to Australia because of frequent earthquakes in Taiwan.
"Yes, it's MeiYifan. His Chinese name is too difficult to pronounce, so we usually call him Fenix ??in English." Da Mian finally spelled out Mr. Mei's full name.
¡°Haha, it¡¯s better if it¡¯s not a parallel import, otherwise I¡¯d really have trouble explaining to my master.¡± Li Zhuang was a little lucky.
Just as he was talking, Secretary Da Mian came in with information, "Uncle, this is the information you asked for."
Li Zhuang was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered something. Just when he was about to open his mouth, he saw Da Mian lecturing his secretary: "Anna, how many times have I told you not to call me uncle in the company, but to call me Mr. Wilson, do you understand?"
"I know, uncle." The little girl Anna agreed aggrievedly, and Li Zhuang laughed loudly, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Anna, it's nice to see you again. It's been a long time. You've grown up now." Anna Sterling, a handsome niece, has just graduated from college. When Li Zhuang first met her, he was still a middle school student. This time he was wearing professional attire, so I didn't recognize him for a moment.
"Hello, Daniel, nice to meet you, long time no see." Anna's expression showed a hint of surprise. She didn't expect Li Zhuang to suddenly visit the headquarters.
"Go down, it's working time now." Da Mian ordered.
"Yes, Mr. Wilson." After Anna said that, she turned and left, gently closing the door of the small conference room.
"Whose idea was it?"
"Your mother-in-law Sophia, haha!" Da Mian laughed loudly, and Li Zhuang lamented that this guy's nerves were thick. The two of them have opposite personality types, but they get along harmoniously. It seems that both of them don't care much and have common ground in technology. Li Zhuang likes automation the most, and this is what he studies on a large scale. Over the years, the technology has never fallen behind.
"By the way, Daniel, I just got my Ph.D. from my alma mater." Da Mian's face was a little shy, "Thank you. My doctoral thesis contains the information you gave me. The IEEE fully accepts it and is very grateful for the submission. No changes were requested.¡±
Li Zhuang was stunned.Then he laughed so hard that he was out of breath, "You plagiarized, forget it, I, the original author, decided not to report you."
There was not much time to stay in Perth, and we had to go to Sunway Town. The two did not chat anymore and continued to work. Li Zhuang took the information and browsed it hastily, thinking a lot.
The structure of the United Technologies Corporation headquarters is similar to that of Wesson Technology, except that the industrial group is stronger.
The main management personnel are as follows:
President, Da Mian.
His broad personality determines that he has many true friends and a wide social circle. He loves running around and hanging out with his friends, so putting up the framework of the Perth headquarters was a piece of cake for him. In contrast, Li Zhuang's social circle is not large, and he is very constrained in doing things. In the six years since United Technologies was founded, there have been very few espionage incidents. Of course, this is also related to the manufacturing-oriented structure.
Executive Vice President, Benjamin McCauley, is also in charge of the research department.
Dr. Macaulay obtained all his advanced degrees from ANU. He is an undergraduate classmate and a double PhD holder. He is a short, thin white man with slight baldness. He is very conspicuous in an environment full of tall and fat people in Australia. When he first came to K City, Li Zhuang had a very deep impression on him. He was a very interesting person.
Executive Vice President, Dennis Howard.
Dr. Howard was recommended by Mr. Wilson, the eldest son of his old friend. Howard and Da Mian have known each other for a long time, probably when they were wearing crotchless pants.
Vice President, Dylan Fox, also manages the Equipment Services Group.
Dr. Fox graduated from Cambridge University and is a colleague and friend of Damian Old Company. When Li Zhuang looked at his age, he realized that Da Mian had a wide range of friends, both young and old, so it was no accident that he fell in love with him.
Vice President, Lund Macmillan, is also in charge of the energy group.
Dr. MacMillan graduated from the University of Melbourne and is an old classmate and friend of Da Mian. How long have you known each other? I don't know, I guess it can't be less than twenty years, because this guy's hometown is Port Hedland.
Vice President, Jonathan Smith, is also in charge of the Computer Group.
Dr. Smith graduated from ECU and is the younger brother of Smith, a man Li Zhuang always thought was an agent. Da Mian dared to call him over. It seemed that the relationship between Mr. and Mrs. Smith and him was deeper than imagined.
Vice President, Andrew Robinson, is mainly responsible for the financial business department and the coordination between the headquarters and Wesson Technology. This person Li Zhuang is very familiar and I haven't seen the specific information. If he had a problem, Da Mian would probably rush forward and fight to the death.
Finance Director, Helena Jones
Ms. Jones was recommended by Mr. Wilson. It is said that she is the little sister of a friend in Da Mian. Li Zhuang didn't know what his maiden name was. The Finance Department is a key department, and the relationship between Ms. Jones and Da Mian should not be simple.
Director of Public Relations, Henry Wilson.
Henry is Da Mian¡¯s cousin, a former government employee, uwww.piaotia.com a contemporary Chinese named Jeffrey Tao, and his Chinese name is Tao Kan. Tao Kan is now completely assimilated and cannot even speak Chinese. Of course, you can't blame him. His wife and mother are both white, and the family has been here for more than a hundred years. Dr. Tao's relationship is with Sophia. His wife is Sophia's cousin and she is very down-to-earth, Dr. Anu.
Director of Security Department, David Brown.
¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤
Except for David Brown, none of these people are strangers.
"Tell me about David Brown. This man is in an important position, so he shouldn't have a background." Li Zhuang had discussed the company's talent strategy with Da Mian before, and would rather be more stable.
"Haha, you're talking about David. He just retired and came to me to find a job. A former Australian Army colonel, my middle school classmate and an old friend for more than 30 years. If he has any questions, I will come to me from the fourth floor. Jump down."
Li Zhuang didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. Da Mian always used his previous words to ridicule his cautiousness, because ¡°jump off the building¡± was his self-punishment mantra, and of course he never jumped. He is afraid of heights and hates flying.
That night, the headquarters management held a small welcome banquet for Li Zhuang¡¯s arrival, and he met Mr. David Brown. A tall, lean man with a military temperament and a short cut hair, without any cynicism of an Australian cowboy. He is quite handsome, but his poker face seriously affects his affinity.
"Hello, Mr. Brown, nice to meet you."
"Hello, Daniel, I've known you for a long time, and it's nice to meet you. In fact, we have met before, maybe you didn't notice, at your wedding to Lisa." Mr. Brown's voice was very magnetic.
"Really? I was busy at the time, please forgive me." Li Zhuang apologized to Brown, and the other party expressed his understanding.
After chatting for a few words, BuThen he kept silent.
¡°Daniel, David¡¯s character is just like this, so don¡¯t mind.¡± Da Mian tried to smooth things over.
"It's okay, not everyone likes to chat. Haha, there is someone who is completely different from Mr. Brown." Li Zhuang thought of Chen Xiaojun, and then asked in a low voice: "Has D.W.'s hexagonal building been built? External equipment and wiring What about installation?¡±
"It's built, and the relevant facilities have been completed. Are you ready to go there? I plan to go there with you. I haven't seen a real Zhinu yet."
After the establishment of the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, Li Zhuang told Da Mian about Zhinao. Of course, he didn¡¯t tell about Vicky. Lisa was very tight-lipped.
"Okay, we'll leave tonight. Time is very tight. It's not peaceful outside now. I plan to move Wesen Technology to Sunway Town early next year. You should pay more attention to the construction of the super estate."
Because we are in a period of rapid development, the management of the headquarters are very busy, and many people have to go back to the office to work overtime later. The small banquet held in the hotel near the headquarters ended hastily.
The two people used a special plane that night, a Bombardier purchased by the company two years ago. The core employees of the security department watched it very strictly.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect that I would be able to sit on a special plane now, Daniel, it¡¯s all thanks to you.¡± Da Mian suddenly said something very Chinese.
"Haha, this is called fate. It all depends on man-made things. All you have to do is respect God." Li Zhuang's answer made Da Mian stunned, not knowing what he was talking about.
Li Zhuang needed to catch up on the jet lag, so Da Mian didn¡¯t speak anymore. Both of them were taking a nap to cope with the evening work.
Bombardier was very comfortable. Li Zhuang was in a daze, and his mind flew to more than a thousand kilometers away, where his children who had traveled across the ocean had an uncertain fate.
