- "Why does Canberra insist that I go there?" Li Zhuang thought about it on the plane. The lack of experts is a strong excuse, but they can come to Bandar Sunway, which has a bigger airport than both Canberra and Sydney.
"Xiaojun, why do you think Canberra wants me to go there?" Li Zhuang thought about some possibilities, but was not sure, and planned to ask Chen Xiaojun for his opinion. Apart from not liking reading, he has a very flexible mind. Li Meng didn't need to ask, he couldn't figure it out.
"Zhuangtou, isn't this very simple? They are the central government, and you are a businessman. Of course, you go to see those high-level officials, rather than them coming to see you. This is the rule. It is very likely that they want to give you a slap in the face and make you This river-crossing dragon knows the power of local snakes, so don¡¯t be too arrogant in the future.¡±
"Haha, I can't rule out this possibility. I'm not familiar with the character and habits of Australians." Li Zhuang felt that what Chen Xiaojun said was possible, but not necessarily. After all, this is a world dominated by businessmen, and Australia's military is not strong.
When the plane arrived at Canberra Airport, Li Zhuang was pleased to find that the senior management was very considerate and sent the Vice Prime Minister and Zhou Qisen to the airport to greet him.
¡°United Technologies is a large enterprise with an annual profit of over 10 billion U.S. dollars. It seems that there is something wrong with my thinking.¡± Li Zhuang pondered while chatting with the Vice Prime Minister.
"Welcome Mr. Li to Canberra, I hope you don't mind. We know that it is very risky for you to come from China, and I'm afraid there are some shadows in your heart. There are just some special things that need to be discussed with you this time." The Vice Prime Minister was very polite.
"It should be, it should be, how can I let you come to see me." Li Zhuang got off the donkey along the slope, and a group of people got into five bulletproof Mercedes-Benz and set off to the Prime Minister's Office.
Li Zhuang kept talking to the person next to him, thinking about the real reason. Politicians are mostly actors. What Mr. Wilson said is definitely not wrong.
Entering the luxurious conference room of the Prime Minister's Office, Li Zhuang was slightly surprised, because there were all kinds of people here. Depending on their temperament and attire, they could be divided into three types: politicians, soldiers and experts and scholars.
"Hello everyone!" Li Zhuang greeted him bravely and introduced him hurriedly. The local snake is indeed a local snake. Everyone here knows a lot of people, even several generals in the military know their names.
Li Zhuang is now well-known. According to his wealth, he is a rich man; according to his academic ability, he is the number one person in computer and automation in Australia. He greeted everyone one by one, and everyone who shook hands with him was very polite. Only one person did not stand up because he was in a wheelchair. He was Army Commander General Hughes.
Seeing that Li Zhuang was a little confused, the general smiled to himself, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I fell down while climbing a mountain last month and broke my bones. I have to ask you to come see me."
When Li Zhuang heard this, he almost fainted, "Why is my luck so bad? Of course, there is still the possibility of someone trying to bully me. People here have different ideas."
"You can't argue with a patient. It's very rude, so Li Zhuang was polite."
After everyone was seated, a waiter brought the green tea that Lizhuang needed. There should be no problem with the safety here. It would be difficult for him to drink pure water alone.
"To try or not to try?" Li Zhuang's hand holding the poison detector shook, and he thought about it and decided to try it. All eyes in the room were focused on him, looking at what he was holding. The atmosphere was very strange.
"Ahem." Da Mian coughed twice, preparing to remind Li Zhuang that this was a serious occasion. He was simply slapping his master in the face.
The sound of "didi-didi-didi-didi" came, and Li Zhuang stood up suddenly and shouted: "Catch the waiter just now." His voice was like thunder in the silent conference room, shaking everyone in the conference room. Startled.
"What's going on?" asked the office director next to him.
"There is compound poison in the tea!" Li Zhuang roared through gritted teeth. His words caused chaos in the conference room, and within ten seconds, the entire Prime Minister's Office was in chaos.
There are experts who research poisons in the Biotechnology Research Institute, and they have studied various attack mechanisms. This small handheld detector is worth millions of dollars. Advanced compound poisons are difficult to detect using ordinary methods because they require an inducement to cause their onset, and the poisoner has probably already arranged for the follow-up. This is a method used by senior spies and requires considerable knowledge accumulation.
Li Zhuang sat on the sofa, sweating profusely. He was glad that the sense of crisis allowed him to escape. Wesson Technology began to recruit experts who studied poisons from the second year on, because poisoning cases were very common. His enemies are a powerful class and will definitely try their best to make him disappear. As for the loss of agents, they are sacrifices for the country.
In fact, the Snake Garden of the Institute of Biotechnology has already received two visitors. This is an important reason why Li Zhuang does not want to go. His psychology cannot be adjusted for a while. He didn¡¯t mention it, nor did he mention the national treasure.Ti, you know you can¡¯t joke about this.
"nnd, do you think my sword is not fast enough? I will make you disappear within five generations, just wait and see!" Li Zhuang's low voice made Zhou Qisen smile bitterly, although the visitor to the snake garden was brought by Jinchang Ze Someone dragged him away, but that doesn't mean he didn't know. Since the director of the Security Committee was Li Zhuang, and this was a sensitive period, he did not compete with Li Zhuang for the means to deal with spies, because the large number of company researchers leaving the company had already brought serious side effects.
People who poison themselves disappear very quickly, and it is not easy to catch such people. Canberra did entertain the idea of ??a demonstration, but it was no longer necessary as they were disgraced and the roar of the Special Branch chief could be heard in the corridors.
While apologizing, the Prime Minister also explained the reasons for asking Li Zhuang to come. On the one hand, Australia did not have deep research in the field of robotics and was a little scared. On the other hand, it was inconvenient for the Commander of the Army. The military and research institutes strongly requested that Li Zhuang come. Zhuang come over.
"You discuss the robot construction with Da Mian, and I'll talk to these generals and colleagues. What do you think?" Li Zhuang's mood slowly calmed down and he decided to finish the matter.
"No problem, I'm sorry, I frightened you this time, please accept my apology." The Prime Minister was very polite, his face slightly red. It would be unjustifiable to have a guest almost die in his own home.
Li Zhuang moved to the conference room next door. As soon as the generals and experts entered the door, they surrounded him and started a noise attack.
"Stop, let's sit down and talk slowly. Let's start with our colleagues, okay?"
"Okay, please speak slowly, we don't know much about this." A brigadier general interface who was just introduced as working at a military research institute, Li Zhuang remembered that his name was Stanley Lines.
"Let me go first, Mr. Li, we have met before and I have tested your software." Dr. Watson, who works at a research institute in Canberra, said.
"You're talking about the computer security manager?" When Li Zhuang came to Australia for the first time, he encountered this inexplicable thing.
"Yes, I have always had a question. It seems that you are using a new language that has never appeared on the market, right?"
"Yes, it is a brand new language. I have been researching it for many years before it was finally completed." As soon as Li Zhuang finished his words, there was a sound of inhalation in the conference room. Those who can be dispatched to participate in the meeting have basically learned computers, otherwise they will only be blinded.
The inventor of every computer language is a great person and can be called a master. The computer field is a place where people with high IQs are concentrated. Compared with Li Zhuang's identity as a businessman, his identity as a computer expert is more valued by everyone. Knowing that Li Zhuang was the inventor of the new language, the people in the room suddenly became more respectful.
¡°Will you officially release it in the future?¡± Watson asked again.
"This kind of language cannot be used by ordinary people, and its advantages and disadvantages are equally outstanding. As for its official release, I haven't thought about it yet. With the development of smart phones, it may happen one day."
"Watson, don't ask anymore, there's not enough time." The Brigadier General interrupted him, and then brought up the robot, "Mr. Li, do you think the intelligent robot can be controlled?"
"Yes, I am developing new control technology, which will be completed within three years, which can minimize the possibility of riots by intelligent brains and robots. In fact, compared with the frequent convulsions of humans, intelligent brains and robots are much more reliable."
People in the conference room were speechless when they heard Li Zhuang's words. Artificial intelligence is one of the most cutting-edge fields, and there are very few experts. Li Zhuang, a senior person, said it was reliable, but they couldn't refute it and said it was unreliable. They couldn't find a suitable reason.
As the conversation progressed, Li Zhuang discovered that the level of these people was quite good, and he couldn't help but want to recruit him. He then smiled mockingly and gave up the idea. He was not yet on a stable footing. It is estimated that in the next twenty years, the Vicki level There is enough inside.
"Can we entrust United Technologies to develop combat robots?" General Lines suddenly mentioned a sensitive topic.
"The Tokyo Agreement is no joke, Australia is a signatory!" Li Zhuang frowned. As soon as he saw the room full of generals, he knew that the Australians, who had insufficient military resources, wanted to be lazy.
"Don't worry, no big country says one thing but does another. Our military strength is very poor now and it is difficult to recruit troops. My friends often complain to me that they can't find the right people and there are fat people everywhere."
"As long as the military can handle it well, I don't mind developing advanced combat robots for you, but it takes time. Our level is not as good as Citigroup and Japan. To be honest, in fact, robots below B level can be used. There¡¯s no need to worry about safety, and it¡¯s very smart and greatly reduces the workload for soldiers.¡±
"Really?" General Lines couldn't believe it.
"Haha, I am a human being, I still want to live, and I won't talk nonsense." Li Zhuang's words made Lanes happy, and he repeatedly said that he would report to his superiors and strive to issue the order as soon as possible.
Robots are an important pillar industry of United Technologies Corporation in the future. Li Zhuang must open a breakthrough, so he revealed some secrets to at least gain the recognition of his peers. If all colleagues are skeptical, promotion will be far away.
There is a lively discussion here, but Da Mian and Zhou Qisen¡¯s team are having a hard time talking. Robotic construction is not the problem, the problem is supervision, land area and land use taxes. The management of United Technologies Corporation is not bad at negotiation and has many experts, so the chairman can safely let them handle it on their own.
Li Zhuang did not go out to eat for dinner, but ate the dry food he brought here. His attitude made everyone in the conference room embarrassed. Some of them were so suspicious that they went to eat in restaurants outside and did not dare to eat the food provided by the Prime Minister's Office.
"Compared with the intensity next door, Li Zhuang's place finally became a classroom, and he answered the technical questions raised by everyone. The Artificial Intelligence Research Institute has a serious shortage of employees, and he plans to take a long-term view to catch big fish.
The negotiations next door continued until twelve o'clock in the night. Li Zhuang did not go out to stay in the hotel, but chose to rest at the Prime Minister's Office and read the agreement signed by the two parties. Perth and Port Hedland are already done, just waiting for Canberra.
Li Zhuang did not read the detailed content. He was very tired today. He was concerned about the area and land use tax. The content inside surprised him.
If the robot construction is approved, it is certain that Canberra will send people to supervise it, otherwise it will easily cause diplomatic trouble. The Tokyo Agreement Supervision Team stationed in Canberra is not blind. The approved desert land area is 100,000 square kilometers. After the transformation is completed, the used part will be taxed at 50%, and the self-residential area will be subject to relevant laws.
Regarding the industrial and commercial land expansion from LaGrange to Port Hedland, the tax rate will be 75% of the relevant standards. This will be the priority direction for United Technologies, after all, desert transformation requires time and money.
The application for the establishment of Sunway City has been approved, provided that the residential population of Sunway Town and nearby areas cannot be less than one million. There are many other conditions, such as technical support, employment requirements, environmental protection, etc., there are hundreds of them. The company's management fully understood Li Zhuang's ideas and secured enough preferential conditions. The most conspicuous one is the land for future research institutions. Canberra has given a duty-free zone with a limit of 10,000 square kilometers, mainly in the desert area. Normally, no one would take it for free.
Li Zhuang was lying on the bed and remembered what Zhou Qisen said, "Some people say that we are taken advantage of. I hope we will not really become taken advantage of in the end."
"Haha, everyone just gets what they need. It's too early to tell the outcome. There will be opportunities to acquire a larger area. This is a paradise for big companies." Li Zhuang entered his dream while talking to himself.
Early the next morning, the company management set off for the airport to return to Bandar Sunway. Everything went smoothly except that Li Zhuang was almost poisoned.
Considering safety, Da Mian, Zhou Qisen and Li Zhuang sat separately and did not squeeze together. The way to the airport went very smoothly without any accidents.
When getting off the car at the airport, Li Zhuang just got out of the car door and was about to stroke the wrinkles on his clothes when he was hit hard by Li Meng and fell onto his back. A little later, a "bang" sound came, and the scene was in chaos. Canberra executives were looking for places to hide from the bullets as they bid farewell.
Li Zhuang dragged the big man with bloodshot eyes from the corners of his mouth and hid behind the pillar. The huge impact of the sniper rifle bullet knocked Li Meng over. Fortunately, the bulletproof vest developed by the Nanotechnology Research Institute and the Materials Research Institute dispersed the impact throughout the body and there were no fractures.
"Mengzi, can you do that?" Li Zhuang asked with concern.
"It's okay, I can't die, but my chest feels tight. Zhuangtou, you have to let those people change it. Although this thing is advanced, it is not good enough."
The bodyguards of the big shot were looking for the attackers. Chen Xiaojun, who was near Lizhuang, suddenly opened the huge suitcase he had been carrying with him, quickly assembled the high-precision rifle that had been disassembled into modules, put on the photoelectric helmet, and then threw away the obstructive robe on his body. , revealing the full set of equipment inside.
"He's not a Muslim? Ah, a metal exoskeleton!" Lines shouted from the side.
Li Zhuang sounded very depressed, "How can a guy like Chen Xiaojun, who eats everything, be a Muslim? But he is very good at pretending. He must have learned it."
Chen Xiaojun¡¯s outfit is very cool. Everything on his body is made of special products, which cost much more than an ordinary metal exoskeleton system. They are engineering samples that have been completed for testing.
The attacker¡¯s marksmanship was very accurate. He shot twice and changed places, which made it difficult for the bodyguards, who were mainly equipped with short guns. Within thirty seconds, six people near Lizhuang were hit.
The sound of sirens was heard, but it was meaningless. Chen Xiaojun could onlyAfter firing two rounds of bullets, the gunfire completely calmed down.
Li Zhuang led the company management towards the two special planes. Lines caught up and shouted: "Mr. Li, we want to buy a metal exoskeleton."
Li Zhuang almost fell over, "Why do you want to buy everything we have? Do you have the funds? Fortunately, unlike some people, who only think about robbing, I didn't come to the wrong place!" After getting on the plane, his heart completely calmed down. United Technologies' special planes have been modified, so there is nothing to worry about in the Australian sky. This is one of the important reasons why he dares to come to Canberra.
The temperature in Canberra in April was not high, and the rising sun outside the window was very warm. Li Zhuang was filled with joy and finally took the second solid step.
