- Li Zhuang is having a great time this New Year. The only bad thing is that he knows too many people now. He can still hide there in normal times, but there is no place to hide during the New Year. Since only the Chinese cultural circle has the habit of celebrating the New Year, many non-Chinese cultural circle employees continue to work, especially the recruitment teams of the human resources department who stay overseas.
When Sunway City was established on New Year¡¯s Day, Brother Liu¡¯s family had just returned from Citi Country and happened to catch up with the establishment ceremony. Liu Jing brings her own small family, and her husband is very handsome, which Li Zhuang cannot compare with. The young man's name is John Crocker. He comes from a good background. He seems to be a descendant of the Crocker family of the California Consortium. However, the California Consortium has not been as good as before in recent years and has become somewhat unworthy of its name. Liu Jing's oriental charm conquered this handsome boy. When the two got married, Li Zhuang was under house arrest and could not attend the wedding. Their child is just half a year old and is a super beautiful mixed-race little girl who perfectly expresses the excellent genes of her parents.
Li Zhuang is very pleased that Liu Jing and Crocker's families are harmonious. Most beauties have bad fates. He reversed Liu Jing's fate through his own efforts. This is not a success, but also worthy of Brother Liu and Sister Juan's help.
This pair of handsome men and women met at the University of California, Berkeley. Liu Jing completed her master's degree and Crocker was a Ph.D. Liu Jing studied cellular biology, and Crocker studied astronomy, not business administration, which is what ordinary family heirs study. He probably didn't want to inherit the family business, and felt that staying in that consortium in name only was boring.
Liu Jing will not have any problems, Crocker¡¯s HR Department¡¯s evaluation has also passed, Brother Liu and Sister Juan will not have any problems, there is no doubt about the closeness of their relationship with Li Zhuang. Ouyang Tan also reported the arrangement of the five people to Li Zhuang. Liu Jing went to the Biotechnology Research Institute, Crocker went to the Aerospace Science and Technology Research Institute, Brother Liu went to the Energy Group, and Sister Juan took the little kid from Liu Jing's family and waited for a while. I will go to Sunway City Hospital 1 to work again next year.
Li Xiang¡¯s family spent New Year¡¯s Eve at Li Zhuang¡¯s house. They basically did this every year except last year. Su Yunyi's parents and immediate family members all moved here. Fortunately, there were not many people, otherwise Ouyang Tan would have had to worry about how to make arrangements.
"Brother, are you disappointed that Jingjing got married?" Seeing that there was no one around, the brother and sister talked about themselves.
Li Zhuang laughed dumbly and said: "Why do you have such an idea? Your sister-in-law and I live very well. There are relatively few couples like us. I am very grateful to God for his blessing. As for Jingjing, her personality is not suitable for me. , Beauty cannot be eaten. If I married her, I would probably be sitting in a research institute in the capital now with a sad face, instead of leisurely eating watermelon with you. "
"You really don't have any thoughts about her?" Li Xiang was unwilling to accept his error in judgment.
"No, it's just appreciation at most. Don't judge me by public standards. If I didn't have this self-control, I would have married another person long ago."
Li Zhuang felt a little depressed when he recalled his original choice. The change in his expression was caught by Li Xiang, "Have you talked about it before? Why have I never heard of it? I didn't expect that my brother also has a story. Come and tell it to me."
"Stop it, why are you gossiping like your sister-in-law? My emotional experience is very simple. Indulging yourself is the beginning of destruction. Not everyone can be so lucky."
After Li Zhuang finished speaking, he immediately thought of Xia Yuande and his wife, and then of Shi Qiang and his wife. Xia Yuande's family gets along in harmony, but Shi Qiang and Liang Sihan often have quarrels. Fortunately, both of them are now focusing on their children, so they don't make a mess. The emotional experiences of Mr. and Mrs. Shi Qiang were complicated, which laid the foundation for the stability of the family, and their luck was obviously not good.
"What are you talking about? Come and see the little girl, haha, she looks like me, but your genes are not strong enough." Lisa came over with the child in her arms.
Li Zhuang carefully took over his daughter without complaining. He is not good-looking, and it would be better if his son looked like him. If his daughter looked like him, he would probably have to worry about how to find a good son-in-law in the future.
The children of a couple have three innate conditions, IQ, appearance and personality, which come from the combination of the couple, and there are only a few variations.
When he was in Hangzhou before, Yongzi told him a joke. He has an old colleague who is not tall, has a bad temper, is fairly smart, and is short and fat. This guy had a little money. During the blind date, he chose a tall, ugly but honest local girl. He gave up another fellow who was pretty but not tall and planned to improve his genes.
"The so-called agency was too clever, but it cost your life." This guy was extremely unlucky. His son was short, fat, ugly and stupid, and he completely inherited the shortcomings of the couple.
"I'm luckier than him." Li Zhuang muttered, but the people around him heard it inexplicably.
"Who are you luckier than?" Lisa asked.
"Haha, a super unlucky guy. Now I finally?It is frightening to find that the elusiveness of fate is so arrogant. "
Li Zhuang often said some very philosophical things, which sometimes won Lisa's praise, but most of the time he was despised by her, because "Nietzsche is a lunatic, and few people who like to play philosophy are normal."
"People must have faith and a sense of awe. In fact, few people who want to be a master can succeed." Someone continued to pretend to be a philosopher.
"What is your faith? I never know." Lisa is a Christian, but Li Zhuang seems to have no faith.
"I am a believer in the God of the Universe. Have you heard of it?"
"Never heard of it." The person next to him shook his head and ignored him. Once this man is deep in thought, he walks around like this.
"The power of the gods is unpredictable, but I am not afraid of people who pretend to be gods and ghosts. No matter how unpredictable the human heart is, can it be more complicated than the rules of the universe? There are always clues." Li Zhuang said to the little girl.
The little girl¡¯s black eyes were swiveling around, she looked at the big face in front of her curiously, and she peed all over him in shame.
"Honey, you didn't wear a diaper, you are such a dirty girl."
The pseudo-philosopher's thinking was interrupted by an accident. He angrily threw the little girl to her mother, and then went to change clothes, leaving the living room laughing.
Visiting relatives and friends has been a lively time this year, and many white employees have learned to celebrate the Spring Festival. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zaitsev, acting director of the Institute of Genetic Engineering, took key employees to Li Zhuang's house to pay New Year's greetings.
Li Zhuang felt very unlucky to send away the guys who were joining in the fun. They might have been doing great things in the underground laboratory yesterday, wielding scalpels.
" Praying to God may not bring good luck, and unlucky things may not mean that the development of United Technologies will be worse in the new year. Facts have proved that idealistic ideas, no matter how hypnotic they are, cannot resist the laws and rules of human society.
In early February, many states in Citiland enacted legislation restricting the further use of automated equipment. With the obstruction of huge interest groups, it was very difficult to pass these local laws. Some agricultural states have not considered it at all, and WLFS agricultural automation equipment clusters continue to sell well in Citi states.
"The big label of "dumping" has never fallen on United Technologies. The prices of its group's products have always been slightly higher than those of its competitors, and they are known for their well-designed, easy-to-use, stable and long lifespan.
The most painful thing in international trade is that other people's products are better than yours in everything. In many countries, automated production equipment cannot be sold at all, so they have to resort to abnormal means. In the name of protecting their own industries, they raise import tariffs to restrict the entry of wlfs products. . As a result, the World Trade Organization (WTO) was often harassed by Zhang Mingde's leaders, and suing the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Commerce of various countries became the norm.
There are loopholes in international trade rules everywhere, which cannot block the sales of technology. Authorized partners all over the world have caused some headaches for various countries, and even more headaches for Canberra and Perth because of tax issues.
Last December, environmental transformation group wlea won a large order from the United Arab Emirates, with a target price of US$50 billion. Canberra only received a total of one billion US dollars in tax revenue for this project, which was far less than what they expected. The Ministry of Finance sent people to check several times, but could not find any problems, so they had to go back disappointed.
Australia¡¯s tax burden is indeed not low. Last year, United Technologies paid more than 20 billion U.S. dollars in taxes. The company¡¯s finance department is studying changes to the existing system to achieve reasonable tax avoidance. Compared with similar economies, Australia's tax benefits for the wealthy are also much more generous, and its reputation as a "rich people's paradise" is well-deserved.
The problem is that Sunway City is built in a desert area, and the initial investment is extremely high, so it seems very uneconomical. United Technologies' public relations department travels to Canberra and Perth very frequently, mainly to negotiate for more favorable terms.
Helena once gave Li Zhuang a description of the tax classification between Australian governments, so that he could have some understanding of the actual situation in Sunway City. Australia's current tax system is divided into three levels. Those involving the federal government are personal income tax, corporate income tax, goods and services tax, pension tax, national health tax, welfare tax, resource tax and customs; those involving the state government are land Tax, stamp duty, consumption tax, payroll tax, motor vehicle tax, resource royalties tax, bank account tax.
The local government, that is, Sunway City, mainly involves related charges, mainly garbage disposal fees, water, electricity and other service charges.
"You mean we in Sunway City won't receive much money, and most of it will be taken away by Canberra and Perth?" Li Zhuang looked at Helena's form and was very depressed.
"Of course, we can't collect our own money, right? Mayor Wilson." The man beside him nodded.
"Be patient for now, and take your time later." Li Zhuang thought that he must at least save these taxes from Perth. He now??I feel uncomfortable with Perth standing on my head.
The management of the company is responsible for its own management, and the system of spontaneous operation is far from the limit. The combination of the three doctrines is very attractive. The Human Resources Department continues to look for targets in various countries. Various departments in the company have set up frameworks with the addition of new blood. The number of researchers will continue to increase after the Spring Festival.
CERN, Li Zhuang dreamed of taking care of them all, but unfortunately this was impossible to achieve. The Human Resources Department recruited a master, a German named Xavier von Heisenberg, a third-PhD level bookworm with good management skills.
His partner Kevin Durand had just resigned from iter, but he came to the door on his own. This guy studied mathematics and physics at the Ecole Normale Sup¨¦rieure in Paris, and then went to the Ecole Normale Sup¨¦rieure in Paris to get a degree in engineering management. It has to be said that the French are very unique. The famous ¨¦cole Normale Sup¨¦rieure in Paris does not have official diplomas and degree certificates, which makes the personnel of the human resources department busy for an extra week.
These two experts set up the leadership framework of the Institute of Theoretical Physics. Talents are far from enough. They mobilized their relationships and found a group of people from all over the world. In fact, as long as there are masters in each field, they can always find other masters through connections. The world is a big network.
Yamamoto brought his parents and relatives over. The old man Yamamoto and his mother were both in their seventies. The fighting back then has become a thing of the past, and the grandchildren are all in elementary school. After they retired, they heard from Yamamoto that the environment here was good, so they came together to retire. This allowed Li Zhuang to gain twelve PhDs from the Yamamoto family in one fell swoop. The inconspicuous Yamamoto sister Aoki and her husband were also talented people engaged in nuclear theory research.
A company that is too powerful can easily attract talents from other companies in the same industry, thereby draining the industry of outstanding talents and creating a de facto monopoly. If one region is too different from another, it is easy to produce a blood-sucking effect, making the advanced more advanced and leaving the backward regions unable to extricate themselves. The proposal of a certain domestic policy has now fully demonstrated its power, although it was just a no choice at the beginning.
Sunway City, which almost became a laughing stock at first, is very keen on poaching local universities and research institutions in Australia. All units are miserable and frequently write to Canberra. The formal decision was made in May. Sunway stopped its crazy behavior, which made local research institutions breathe a sigh of relief.
By early March, United Technologies had gathered nearly 150,000 doctoral-level researchers. Zhang Mingde has no energy to make trouble for others, because the legal department and public relations department have already been occupied by the troubles caused by the personnel department.
In order to ease relations with other research institutions and large companies, Wesson Technology had to reach technology licensing agreements with them. Although the patent fees were collected leniently, it also consumed a lot of the company's strength and had to suspend large-scale recruitment work, while small actions never stopped.
The situation in China has become increasingly delicate, and the outflow of talents has become more serious. United Technologies has accelerated the pace of recruiting talents in China, making companies and research institutions increasingly weak. In the end, the capital has to introduce policies to restrict the immigration of high-quality talents.
The Alta Technology Fund has been reorganized into an education fund, looking for qualified talents all over the world to train, even black people who Li Zhuang doesn't like very much.
In early May, during a meeting of United Technologies¡¯ management, Zhang Kai showed Li Zhuang a newspaper with a very eye-catching headline: ¡°Unprecedented Public Hazard!!!¡±
"What's going on?" Li Zhuang scratched his head and had no intention of looking.
"Haha, the newspaper said that we are a public nuisance to the world's science and technology community. We have dug out everything we can, and there is nothing we can do about what we can't. I think we still need to strengthen talent training within the company. Sunway Education Group is already ready .¡±
"Li Zhuang, please spare me. Look how thin I am now. My team of 3,000 people is very busy all day long." Zhang Mingde complained. Thin hair had grown on his Mediterranean hair and he looked a little weird.
"Really? If there is no way, let's leave it like this for the time being. We can cultivate better ones internally, and we can't just rely on others." Li Zhuang said it easily, but the management glared at each one.
"You are the boss who is least like a boss. It is unprecedented for the company's major shareholder to be like you." Zhou Qisen complained.
Li Zhuang looked at the people in the conference room innocently and said lightly: "I'm just a technician and don't understand management. You go ahead and do your work. I'll go back and continue my research!"
The whole house looked at his back speechlessly, and they were all a little crazy.
¡°If we say that the person in the world who is least suitable for starting a company is probably him.¡± Zhou Zhi¡¯s words resonated with everyone.
Things must continue to be done. We can¡¯t stop doing things just because Li Zhuang doesn¡¯t care. Everyone here is a shareholder., many people got more money than the guy who just patted his ass and left.
"We have achieved victory in the first stage, and I hope everyone will continue to work hard. Haha, I never imagined that we would cause headaches for big companies and government departments one day!"
Da Mian spoke very loudly. If Li Zhuang were present, he would definitely criticize him for being unethical, although he would hit him head-on every time he mentioned this matter.
