- Li Zhuang returned to the office and didn't stay long before heading to the Safety Committee office building, where Tao Kan was waiting for him.
"Why are you all here?" The director walked into the office and found that the heads of the three major agencies under the Security Committee were all there, including the Minister of the Interior Kim Chang-zee, the Director of the Overseas Investigation Bureau Rich Jackson, and the Director of the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of Security Todd Kanazawa. I was chatting around the conference table, and the relevant supervisors Tao Kan, Helena, and Henry Wilson were also there.
"We have been sued. People from the Ministry of Finance have obtained evidence provided by other forces and want us to pay taxes." Helena smiled bitterly and said: "The strategy set by the management is not working. I think we should find other ways. The current operational risk is too high.¡±
"The United Nations investigation team has just arrived and said there is a problem with our operations. I don't know which force is cooperating with them." Henry said.
"Changze, where are you?" Li Zhuang asked.
"We have caught another spy, how should we deal with it?" The Physics Ph.D. is very interesting. He never makes the final decision, saying that doing so will shorten his life. Li Zhuang tried to beat him up at the company's internal sports meeting, but he was beaten instead.
"Is it serious?"
"It's not serious. He's an ordinary commercial spy. He doesn't work in the core department, so he doesn't need to be sent to the snake farm." Jinchang then added: "Sun Guobao is a bit over the top. He raises all kinds of snakes. Now I don't care." I¡¯m a little afraid of going there.¡±
"Serve in hard labor for three months and then be driven away. This is how we will deal with situations like this in the future, no need to ask me," Li Zhuang made his decision and turned to Jackson: "Rich, what about you?"
"Three offices have reported that there may be major changes in the capital. You must be prepared." The news Jackson dropped was very shocking.
Li Zhuang glanced at the two people in charge of the local area, "Todd, go on, Jeffrey, why are you here? Every time you come here, basically nothing good happens."
"Todd, let me tell you first. Here's the thing, some environmental groups are suing us for destroying the ecological balance, and I'm arranging for people to settle the matter."
"I actually have nothing to do. David is sick and asked me to come over and ask for leave for him. I also have a personal request. My friend doesn't want to work in a mercenary organization and wants to find a job. Is that possible?"
"Follow the procedures. Don't show favoritism. It's not easy for us to have this foundation now. There are a lot of people watching." Li Zhuang decided to handle it according to the usual practice. Even his brother-in-law Su Yunyi and his family did it this way. A bowl of water must be balanced. Will break internal rules.
"Okay, there's nothing to say about his ability. I have confidence in him." Kinzel stopped talking.
"Is there anything else? If not, let's break up the meeting. Whatever happened today, come and join in the fun." Li Zhuang saw everyone shaking their heads and waved them away.
The Security Committee is not far from the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute and has an office in the administrative center, but it is just a liaison office. The total area of ??Sunway City, Wesson City, Wellin City and Xinwei City is nearly 60,000 square kilometers. The total population within the jurisdiction is four million, accounting for 70% of the total population of Western Australia. With the progress of recruitment, continues to increase.
Since the passage of the Wesson Act, apart from Canberra's cooperation in the construction of New York City, the relationship between the two parties has been relatively subtle in other aspects. There have been minor troubles for more than a month, but they all failed in the face of the company's complete defense system.
In fact, since the establishment of two major intelligence agencies last year, the legal department and public relations department have been expanded, and the marketing department¡¯s business intelligence center has been strengthened, Australia does not have many secrets for Li Zhuang. It is a vast place and sparsely populated. It can be seen from the dynamic distribution map of the Safety Committee that with Sunway City as the center, spider web-like tentacles extend to various cities and communities.
United Technologies Corporation has a very complete industrial system and a huge purchase volume, which has eased the relationship with large foreign companies all over Australia. After being independently registered, Sunway Materials Co., Ltd. is building a giant steel plant with an annual output of 20 million tons of steel near Port Hedland. The supporting terminals and iron ore channels are also under construction simultaneously.
??There are almost no regions and forces in Australia that can break away from their relationship with Sunway. The industry, agriculture, service industry and technology divisions cover all aspects. The military-industrial complex cooperates happily with the Australian armed forces. The tourism group's business scope is expanding, and even the indigenous people cannot escape the company's tentacles. Among the more than 200,000 indigenous people in the country, one-third work for Sunway or are related to the Wesson Institute of Social Sciences.
In March of this year, the business department received a weird development order, a six-legged "rabbit terminator", a request jointly put forward by several agricultural and animal husbandry associations, led by the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics.
Australia¡¯s rabbits are an exotic species that once overran the continent, reaching 10 billion at its peak. This place is very suitable for the survival of rabbits. Even after biological and chemical warfare, there are still about 800 million rabbits. Rabbits are a common food in United Technologies' cafeterias.
Australia is suffering from drought and water shortage, rabbits?It is a nuisance species that not only seriously affects the ecology, but also threatens the survival of local marsupial species. Biological methods are flawed. After United Technologies Corporation used construction robots on a large scale, the first thing that relevant interest groups thought of was hard solutions.
The development of the "Rabbit Terminator" went very smoothly, and mass production began in June, integrating many of United Technologies' advanced technologies.
The weapon uses a 10kw solid-state laser from the Laser Weapon Research Institute, with two ultra-precision manipulators. The power source is a hybrid system with folded concentrated solar cells. The intelligent core is s5, and the supporting server is developed by the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute and uses a low-power four-core eight-thread risc processor from the Institute of Applied Physics.
The Rabbit Terminator, nicknamed rt, is equipped with a GPS receiver, wireless LAN and cave detector. It is usually controlled by an airship or helicopter when used. This project was funded by United Technologies Corporation D&E charitable funds, and a total of 500 units were produced.
When the Australian Army's combat robots were still hiding their heads and tail, RTs could often be seen in deserts and grasslands. The scary hissing sound when the laser was fired, the buzzing sound of the motor driving the drill, and the sharp nano-alloy spears inserted into the ground. The sound of squeaking often reaches the ears of tourists and herdsmen.
"The first combat robot to be put into public use, but the object of the struggle is rabbits." Some media commented rt.
Faced with the turbulent public outcry, the spokesperson of the United Technologies Corporation's public relations department imitated the Citizen and shrugged, looking innocent, "RT is just a civilian product, not a combat robot. I think you need to go to Tokyo to see high-end products."
"One sentence choked reporters and peace groups. The real combat robot has only been unveiled for a short time. Now even the Citizen military is unwilling to show it off.
There are many similar actions, and the marketing department of United Technologies Corporation is racking its brains to make ordinary people accept and get used to the existence of robots. This is a subtle strategy, and the Storm series, independent manufacturing robots, rabbit terminators and intelligent traffic management systems are all products of this strategy.
It¡¯s not that there are unscrupulous forces looking for trouble in Canberra, but they all went bankrupt under the means of the company¡¯s public relations department. There are not that many strategies to use in this world. In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies are false. For example, Citigroup's methods are not fancy, but it is better than China in the international arena. It first lays a solid foundation and captures the hearts of the people in the country, and then uses a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other.
Li Zhuang is a supporter of Theodore Roosevelt. After reading his biography, it is no accident that he became a celebrity. Human nature is inherently evil, there is no need to argue about this. Selfishness is human nature, a characteristic of biological networks. Ordinary people consider issues from their own perspective. The occasional hot-headed person is just a small splash among billions of humans, and is often exploited by conspirators.
The wisdom of the "big stick strategy" is undoubted. It has found the weaknesses of human nature and is far smarter than those ideas that boast of being more advanced. In the past two years after Li Zhuang arrived in Australia, United Technologies has developed rapidly without serious problems, which proves that this strategy is very feasible.
Within the company¡¯s current research, the only prohibited research is biological robots and combat robots. The control of the former researchers is very tight, no less than that of the military of major countries. They adopt a combination of soft and hard methods, which is also a "big stick strategy". The latter is mainly the responsibility of the robotics laboratory, and the supporting R&D institutions are within the scope of the license. The manufacturing of the loudspeakers is controlled in an underground factory, so there is no need to worry about leaks. Apart from Li Zhuang, only five people have entered the large underground factory of the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute. These people are either relatives or top management.
? People who are crazy will tear themselves down, but obviously these smart people will not. Tao Kan, who had always been worried about Li Zhuang, told him in private communication that Li Zhuang did not trust him.
"Your experience is very complicated, and I can't trust you in the short term." Li Zhuang always speaks straightforwardly in non-public places.
"How could I betray you? United Technologies is the largest company in Australia. You and I are related, and my family business has grown and developed because of the company. Who can give me such a good condition? Besides, I'm not stupid, you I am not the kind of person who is soft-hearted. With the company's current system and military power, Canberra cannot shake your foundation. In this case, will I make the wrong choice? It is impossible for a lawyer with emotional intelligence problems to become a barrister. "
Tao Kan has worked in many units and started his own business. His character is the fundamental reason why he cannot gain Li Zhuang's trust. He is a little timid, not firm enough, and likes to act according to the prevailing circumstances. In contrast, Zhang Mingde has a plan, and once determined, he will implement it without hesitation. His execution ability has impressed the company's management. His skills are used in the process of handling affairs, rather than looking forward and backward for fear that he will not end well.Ouyang Tan gave Tao Kan a very high evaluation, saying that he has excellent interpersonal skills, is thoughtful, has normal behavior patterns, and is not the kind of person who is easily distracted.
"I'm not biased. His behavior is prone to problems." The computer expert argued.
"Do you know why we all call you computer expert? It's because you have fixed some patterns. People's hearts are very complex and there are no stable behavior patterns. For example, last time that guy Flins had a brain problem. He seemed normal, right?" Ouyang Tan retorted.
Bill Frings used to be the acting president of the Research Institute of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, and he has not left the company now. He is a lesson to other researchers. He seldom drank alcohol and once complained a lot after drinking. He violated the company's confidentiality policy and talked about the solution for the company's sewage treatment membrane project.
This serious leak of security committee files is known as the "Flins Incident", and this guy can now only work hard for the company to pay off its debts. If not for the outstanding work of the Legal Department, the total financial losses would have exceeded a billion dollars. He is not Liang Can, and it is impossible for Li Zhuang to bear debts for him.
The relationship between United Technologies and Washington is not good, mainly because of economic interests. Citigroup¡¯s advantageous industries, Sunwei, are all involved. Most of the weapons used by the Australian military are imported and difficult to maintain. WLMs took over the maintenance of the heavy weapons of the Australian armed forces, causing Citigroup to lose many orders.
In terms of agriculture and animal husbandry, United Technologies Agriculture Group has independently registered as Dasha Agriculture Group Company, referred to as gsaa. This company name, which makes the Australian people speechless, is nothing but hateful in the eyes of colleagues in Citigroup.
?? gsaa has helped Australian farmers establish a complete supply and sales system, design advanced trading platforms and logistics management systems, and minimize unnecessary costs. Australia's agricultural and animal husbandry technology itself is very advanced. Agricultural groups have recruited a large number of relevant talents to form a wide variety of research institutes. Combined with the high-end technology of biotechnology research institutes, a large number of green foods that meet standards have emerged.
?? GSAA¡¯s products are all exported, and it also purchases agricultural products that meet standards for export, and has established stable cooperative relationships with major agricultural and animal husbandry exporters. The daily necessities of the group¡¯s employees and their families are purchased from Australia, with the bulk of the food items being purchased. Except for the rice that some employees like, everything else comes from local farmers and agricultural and animal husbandry companies in Australia.
Citi is the world¡¯s largest exporter of agricultural products, and France is the EU¡¯s largest supplier of agricultural products and the world¡¯s second largest exporter of agricultural products. These two countries are also competitors of United Technologies in other aspects. After careful research and packaging promotion by GSAA, Australian red wine has become a strong rival of French red wine. It has good soil and climate suitable for the growth of wine grapes.
The cultural industry is Citi¡¯s advantage, with Disneyland and Hollywood being the most famous. The reputation of Sunway Amusement Park is not bad at all now. Unlike Disney, it focuses on high-tech entertainment facilities. Many weird and weird things that are secret in other places or can only be watched on video can be found here. Tourists traveling to northern Australia now uniformly choose Sunway International Airport as a transit point, and Sunway Amusement Park is a must-see.
In the IT industry, the newly born wai can cover many profitable areas, and these are often the cash cows of Citigroup. Issues related to patents have been dealt with, and now almost no company in Citigroup can make wai money.
The Australian automobile company, which is technically supported by multiple research institutes of United Technologies Corporation, has only been established for more than a year. It has already expanded five or six times and is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange. Now, apart from famous brands, there are not many Citi domestic products in Australia.
Li Zhuang, who likes the "big stick strategy", was very depressed last month because the Citizen Navy was loitering in the sea near La Grange again. What makes people laugh is that when the old destroyer went up to join in the fun, it couldn't keep up with the new ships of the Citizen Navy. The engine overheated and leaked oil again, but it was the tugboat of the logistics group that pulled it back.
The computer expert who was labeled a "rich man" by the media became so angry that he decided to donate five 10,000-ton destroyers to the Australian Navy, which are being designed by the Ship Research Institute of the Military Industry Research Institute.
The Australian Navy is ecstatic, Canberra is wondering about Li Zhuang¡¯s real thoughts, the Citizen Navy is confused, and Washington is too busy to pay attention to this little thing.
The Prime Minister personally called to inquire about the details, and made a grand statement. He went home at night to find out the details, and the answer he received was, "I like large destroyers!"
"Tch! You must have planned ahead, otherwise the progress of the Military Industrial Research Institute would not be so fast."
"When these five destroyers are built, I will build all the ships used by the navy one by one. When the Citizen Navy comes over, the Australian Navy can go up and intimidate them." Li Zhuang said while waving his fist to demonstrate.
The people in the living room who could understand were speechless, not knowing whether the person in front of them was an expert or a gangster boss.
