- The plane flew from east to west and returned to Sunway Airport at just 11 am. There is a two-hour time difference between Canberra and Sunway Town, and the 4,000-kilometer flight took less than five hours.
The top executives left behind are Macaulay, He Xiuwen and Zhang Kai. Li Zhuang has not been away for a long time and there is no trouble.
Li Meng had nothing to do when he came back and didn't want to go to the hospital. Li Zhuang saw that he was moving around as usual and had a good appetite, so he didn't care anymore. After lunch, Chen Xiaojun and Li Meng were pulled over by researchers to inquire about details and check the use of equipment. Li Zhuang got into the hexagonal building and continued working.
"nnd, they are very determined this time. They even used the spies hidden in the Prime Minister's Office. It seems they want to get rid of me and then hurry up. There is no end between us. Who is afraid of whom!"
Li Zhuang recalled his trip to Canberra, and his anger boiled up. He turned around and found a copy of the agreement signed between United Technologies and Beijing in the filing cabinet and studied it in detail. This was a top priority.
The shame of politicians is admirable. This agreement, which was obviously a robbery, turned into a free authorization. Zhang Mingde was so angry that he couldn't eat for three days.
United Technologies has its own system. Those people took away the information and it took some time to fully digest it. However, a large number of traitors left their jobs and returned to the country, making everything completely different.
Li Zhuang cannot be unkind. He dare not and cannot kill all five thousand people. Boring moral arguments and pressure are enough to collapse the company, not to mention that many of them were betrayed by people close to him. He was very angry. As long as he found a traitor who was close to the mastermind, he would let them enjoy the company's biotechnology research results. The two spies who came over in early April were extremely arrogant and sarcastic during the interrogation by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Sending these two guys to the snake park was just a sign of his madness.
Just as he was thinking about it, Xia Yuande and Deng Ming knocked on the door and came in. Li Zhuang looked up and saw some panic on their faces.
"Is something wrong? Why are you panicking?"
"Brother Zhuang, something bad has happened. Our leading products have encountered imitations. It was those people who did it. Most of the orders from China have been cancelled."
"Haha, probably under the pressure of administrative power, and because the quality of their products is similar to ours, many bosses accepted their requests in order to reduce trouble. This is called forced selling, haha, interesting!"
"Li Zhuang, you can still laugh now. Xia Yuande and I are already very worried. What should we do? Zhou Qisen said that you have to make up your mind on matters involving machinery and artificial intelligence."
"Do you cry if you don't laugh? Don't worry, my foundation is stronger than you think; besides, the headquarters has tens of billions of dollars in sales every year. What are you afraid of? Just do it step by step. I have been preparing to upgrade the old system during this time. , with their level, haha, I¡¯m not bragging, it¡¯s not good enough.¡±
Li Zhuang¡¯s face was full of pride. With his accomplishments in the fields of electrical engineering, electronics, automation and artificial intelligence, what could those people do if they took it over? Subsequent upgrades could not be completed by robbing. Big Speaker has brought back so much robotics technology from Japan and Citigroup. United Technologies is still not their opponent in the field of robotics, and is at least one generation behind Japan.
"Old Deng, you go back first, I will talk to the boss about myself." Xia Yuande was chasing Deng Ming.
"Ade, you are going too far. I am your senior brother and fellow countryman after all. You have to give me some face. No, I want to listen. You can talk." Deng Minglai stayed on the sofa and refused to leave.
"Haha, I guess you are still confused. Let me tell you straight. Robot construction has been approved. I plan to invest another 300 billion US dollars to carry out preliminary transformation of the remaining 9,000 square kilometers. I have plenty of money now."
"Ah!" Xia Yuande was smiling playfully, but when he heard Li Zhuang's words, his face was filled with disbelief. Deng Ming, who was sitting on the sofa, got up and sat down.
"Brother Zhuang, where did you get so much money?"
"Haha, this world is full of thieves and robbers, why can't I just take advantage of it?" Li Zhuang didn't hide it.
"No wonder you dare to spend a huge amount of money on a shabby place like a super manor. It turns out you have a backup." Xia Yuande thought thoughtfully, then smiled and said: "Brother Zhuang, if you don't count the money, I need a special plane now." , capable of intercontinental flight.¡±
"Go away! Don't chat during working hours." Li Zhuang scolded with a smile and drove the guy and Deng Ming away.
United Technologies currently has five business jets, three Bombardiers suitable for medium-range flights, and two Gulfstream G700 intercontinental business jets. Li Zhuang doesn't have a special plane because he doesn't like flying. The two G700s are Da Mian and Zhou Qisen's special planes. Xia Yuande is very envious, but unfortunately according to the company's rules and scale, he is not qualified to be equipped with aircraft yet.
After sending away Xia Yuande and Deng Ming, Li Zhuang welcomed Jonathan Smith.
?Intelligent Brain Group, codenamed wai, integrates all the businesses of Wesson Technology and United Technologies Corporation Computer Group, and its president is Jonathan Smith. He and Dylan Fox, president of the equipment service group, are the ones who work the hardest here, because Li Zhuang studies these two areas.
?? wai101¡¯s orders in China have already been delivered, and before waison technology moved to Australia, the efficiency of the vertical system was astonishingly high.
"Daniel, what about the subsequent smartphones? We haven't launched a new product for a year. Now wai101 has no advantage. The new 200,000-neuron smartphone only costs 100 million US dollars."
"Jonathan, don't worry, the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute will complete the relevant research next month. There are not enough manpower now. If you have experts who can recommend them, there will be no place in Australia that pays more generously than here."
Smith hesitated for a moment, then decided to speak: "Daniel, my son is about to graduate from the University of Melbourne with a Ph.D., can he enter the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute?"
Li Zhuang smiled and said: "How is his technical level? You know the company's salary system and internal situation very well. The requirements of the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute are very high."
"It's not bad. He's better than me as a father. I'll ask him to come over for an interview, and you can decide whether you can accept it or transfer him to another department, okay?"
"No problem, you can recommend any expert you trust. By the way, I have always suspected that your brother is an agent. Is he really?" Li Zhuang asked the question that had been in his mind for many years.
"Well, my brother really works for the Immigration Bureau, not an agent, but he likes to pretend to be an agent. Many people are confused by his performance." Smith was a little embarrassed.
"Haha, I understand, go ahead. Don't tell anyone about the new product launch for the time being. I'm going to lie dormant for a while and see how many people jump out to take action."
"Daniel, you are so insidious!"
"Haha, this is called a war that never tires of deceit. Forget it, I don't even know how to tell you in English."
Li Zhuang scratched his head and felt a headache. There were still some problems with deep communication between different languages ??within the company. Vicki has been improving the translation system, but it will take at least four to five years before the universal translation software can be successfully developed. Newly arrived experts from the Language Institute of the Academy of Social Sciences are cooperating with Vicky's research, mainly to clarify the differences between different cultures. This is a task that Vicky cannot complete.
After sending Smith away, Li Zhuang continued working. Now the internal training has been moved to the morning, and the researchers are working hard to recharge their batteries. The Artificial Intelligence Research Institute has less than 600 researchers, and this is the number after integrating research in the headquarters¡¯ artificial intelligence laboratory and automation. Compared with the talents actually needed by the six subordinate research departments, it is far from enough.
"By the way, Thomas, how could I forget about this guy? He is a master, but he often suffers from convulsions. No wonder his life is not good."
Li Zhuang thought of Thomas in Citi and immediately called him: "Tom, I'm in Australia. Is it convenient for you to come over?"
"It's Daniel, I'm on vacation in Hawaii, can you accept me now? Don't worry about Washington? Baby, go away, don't disturb me, there is business." Thomas' lazy voice came from over there.
"Haha, enjoy yourself. I have familiar experts brought here. I am short of people here. Needless to say, the salary is $300,000 per person. I have told you about the rest."
"No problem, there are many masters among my friends. By the way, what position should I take here? You can't ask me to be a researcher, at least the leader of the project team."
"As long as you can pass the assessment, the position of director of the intelligent production laboratory will be reserved for you, provided that you can manage it well."
As soon as Li Zhuang finished speaking, Thomas¡¯s voice immediately became several times louder, ¡°Really?¡±
"Of course, I won't lie to you. Besides, is it necessary? Hey, where are you? Are you having convulsions again?"
Shaking his head and hanging up the phone, Li Zhuang estimated that Thomas might have thrown the phone away when he was happy. When he was in Citiland last year, he had already seen this guy make similar moves. Unfortunately, his ability to pick up things was not high, so he often changed his cell phone.
Thomas¡¯s full name is Tom Thomas. He has a hilarious nickname called ¡°Tom Cat¡±. According to Yamamoto, Singer gave it to him. Singh was a very well-connected person. Li Zhuang didn't like him and never took the initiative to contact him.
Li Zhuang didn¡¯t expect Thomas to call back, since the business had already been discussed. He no longer thought about commercial operations and began to perfect the final draft of the construction robot production process in accordance with the Tokyo Agreement.
Transforming the remaining land is a necessary preparation before major expansion. Otherwise, the company's employees will have no place to live in the future, and the research institute's area will be greatly restricted.
The life in Lizhuang was very ordinary, but during this period, the business environment of United Technologies Corporation became worse step by step. In China, except for the core circle, it is almost impossible to sell products. Overseas sales were wasted for several months due to the relocation of Wesson Technology to Australia and the relocation of the headquarters from Perth to Sunway Township. When he was under house arrest, the mental state of the company's senior management was not very good, which affected the progress of new product development. Although he doesn't take care of much, he must be fished out as the company's spiritual leader and major revenue generator, so the management racked their brains.
Competitors will not wait. United Technologies' sales in April were only half of the same period last year, but consumption increased five or six times.
The senior management was confident, but ordinary employees who didn¡¯t know the inside story were worried. Coupled with the general purge from February to March, some employees began to ask to leave. Adversity knows the heart, big waves wash away the sand, what comes in comes out, and a rigid system will only make the company lose its vitality. After the HR department talks, all those who are determined to leave will be released.
During this period, fewer spies came over, and traitors were identified one after another. Under the surveillance of the never-tiring intelligent brain, the interior of Sunway Town has seen fewer and fewer changes. Li Zhuang estimated that all the masters were in a dormant state. He was very patient and not in a hurry. Sunway Town, a remote place with no village or shop, can greatly limit the speed at which spies can escape. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is equipped with five high-speed helicopters and four modified sports aircraft, so even a sports car cannot escape. Once caught, there are different handling methods depending on the severity of the case, but most of the spies caught recently are being held in prison because they have special purposes, and the underground fortress of the Human Gene Research Institute is about to be completed.
Because of the substantial increase in employees, the company was under great financial pressure, so Da Mian called several banks that had previously loaned money and planned to increase the loan. Among the five banks, only Westpac expressed its willingness to double its original amount to $10 billion. Other banks are pulling the plug and are not prepared to lend again, and the loans are due to expire in mid-June.
Li Zhuang didn't care about this, and the company's financial division took over. Robinson and Mei Yichen, the vice presidents of the division, were both masters. Mei Yifan currently works at the Research Center of the Financial Business Department, and the two brothers are good at different things. At this stage, Mei Yichen is more in line with the company's needs. Before he came, he was the regional general manager of a large bank.
People from four banks came to the door collectively today, urging for loans. The company's management held a meeting in the evening. It was said to be a meeting, but more like a tea party.
"There are always masters in this world, and the people at Westpac are smart. They say they are cunning in finance, but I saw that the top executives of the four banks are not that smart." Li Zhuang said.
"Haha, it's just that I was blinded by greed. This is called being stupid." Zhang Kai said.
¡°Today I saw them drooling as they stared at our factory area, and it was hard to hold back their smiles,¡± Robinson said.
"The amount of our loan is not small. They are probably a little worried, but it looks too ugly." Wang Mei said with a smile.
Li Zhuang was really amused by everyone's comments and comments, criticizing the management of four large banks as worthless. The atmosphere of the meeting was relaxed and pleasant, and everyone was very happy with the results of this period of time, which solved a lot of future troubles.
¡°Have money and force in your hands, but don¡¯t panic in your heart¡± is exactly the current mentality of the management.
"Repay all their loans, Andrew. You will start the registration procedures for Wilson Bank tomorrow. From now on, we will focus on this bank internally and look for several cooperative banks outside."
"Yes, Daniel, the financial crisis is expected to break out within the next three months. What are your instructions?"
"Haha, I don't understand finance. You are experts. Just take care of it and try your best to cooperate with the operation of the joint procurement center."
The tea party is held until ten o'clock in the evening, mainly because the management needs to communicate the next business strategy. The work of transforming the desert is very arduous, and sufficient time is needed for infrastructure construction and preparation of important military-industrial groups.
The starry sky was bright under the night sky, but the weather was a bit cold. Li Zhuang watched the management members leave in twos and threes, feeling a little emotional in his heart.
In the past ten years, three financial crises have occurred, each one more intense than the last, fully reflecting the bad nature of mankind. If it were not for the deterrent of nuclear bombs, the Fourth World War would have happened long ago.
"Haha, crisis is a good thing. Without crisis, I would never have the chance to fill up the research institute." Someone smiled evilly and upgraded the previous concept of "a dead Taoist friend will not die a poor Taoist".
Some people use violence, some use their brains, and some use a combination of soft and hard. All roads lead to Rome.
