    Li Zhuang recalled how worried Zhou Qisen was at the year-end summary meeting before Christmas last year. He said at the time, "Our application technology is getting more and more advanced, but it is about to become a public enemy." However, Li Zhuang did not expect it to come so soon.  .

    Among the group companies wholly-owned and equity-owned by United Technologies Corporation, six groups including the military industrial group wlms, the medical and health group wlhc, the agricultural group gsaa, the energy group wles, the power group wlps, and the intelligent brain group wai are the most powerful.  These six groups are involved in the five most sensitive high-profit areas and the highly concerned power and IT industries. These seven areas are where the most powerful forces are concentrated on our planet.

    Seven years ago, the company¡¯s management looked at the increasing scale of its subordinate companies and planned to change the registered capital system to avoid interference from the Wilson Act.  After a year-long accounting and investigation, and fully taking into account the future development space, the management made changes to the ownership structure of United Technologies. Cross-shareholdings are common in the entire system, and established a company with Wilson Banking Group and Wesson Technology as the core.  new system.

    Each group under United Technologies Corporation has re-registered, which is wlms, www.piaotia.comsltd.

    Other groups have also made corresponding adjustments, such as Broome Tourism Co., Ltd., Gibson Minerals Co., Ltd., Sunway Materials Co., Ltd., LaGrange Logistics Co., Ltd., etc., plus the Australian Environmental Renovation Group aeag, Wilson Banking Group wboa  , Australian satellite services group assg, jointly built a new United Technologies Corporation.

    All this is just a name change, there will be no fundamental changes.  The outside world knows it, so some people call the adjusted system the Wilson Consortium or the Lee Consortium. This small deception can't hide the experts, but it is very effective. This is to exploit the loopholes in the bill. This loophole cannot be filled by the bill, but other companies have not.  When copying methods, economies of scale must be considered.  The management difficulty of giant companies will not be lower than that of national management.

    Although United Technologies is called a company, it is no different from a country. It is a self-contained force.  There is no fool for employees who can join. In the past, even if they did not have shares, the company's salary system could still guarantee their income.  Among the employees, the longest-serving employee has nearly eighteen years of service. It can be said that he has devoted the best years of his life to this large collective. The company has not treated them badly. Their living conditions are excellent and the turnover rate is extremely low.

    In modern joint-stock companies, the protection of the interests of small shareholders has always been a headache for researchers on corporate financial systems.  The shares of United Technologies employees are all distributed, just like before. This major adjustment was actually arranged by people from the Finance Department and the Investment Department of Wilson Banking Group. The employees were just going through the formalities.  As long as employees have joined the company for more than three years, everyone is a small shareholder, and many problems that may arise outside will not occur here.

    The establishment of this system has prerequisites and a very narrow scope of application. It is specially created for an industrial system such as United Technologies Corporation that focuses on R&D and high-tech and high-profit profits.  There are many problems that are not perfect or cannot be perfected at all. Scholars from the Wesson Academy of Social Sciences have been engaged in research on system management improvement for a long time.

    A business system that has contact with all the powerful forces on the planet has put increasing pressure on United Technologies' security.

    United Technologies Corporation¡¯s three major intelligence agencies, the Internal Affairs MIA, the Overseas Investigation Bureau OBI, and the Security Intelligence Bureau IAS, have an annual budget of 500 million gold coupons. As of December 31 last year, they had a total of 62,074 employees.  The Business Intelligence Center of the Marketing Department has 5,120 employees and an annual budget of 25 million gold coupons.  The United Technologies Corporation Security Department has a total of 31,350 employees, the Wilson State Police Internal Affairs Force has 31,000 employees, and there are nearly 20,000 public security police officers in dozens of cities and towns in Wisconsin.

    The Minister of Internal Affairs, Jin Changze, is an old employee who has been with the company for more than ten years. He has worked in the company since the founding of Weisen Technology. He is a person Li Zhuang trusts. Dozens of his family members, relatives and friends work in the company.  .  The work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is relatively easy. Weizhou has a dense intelligence security system, but identifying spies in the Overseas Investigation Bureau and the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of Security is not an easy task. Employees stationed abroad are frequently corrupted and co-opted. The Ministry of Internal Affairs  The Counterintelligence Division and the Cleanup Force were in a state of tension for a long time and had to recruit new personnel to work in turns.

    The director of the Overseas Investigation Bureau, Rich Jackson, is a former CIA employee. There are four deputy directors, Martin Petrov, Liancheng, Jerome Wilson, and Norman Barry.

    The headquarters of the Overseas Investigation Bureau consists of an office, an audit office, a policy research and planning office, a management office, a science and technology office, and an intelligence office.  The Management Division is responsible for communications, logistics, security, finance, medical services, personnel, training and education, and data processing sections; the Operations Division is composed of counterintelligence, foreign intelligence, covert operations, central cover sections, evaluation, planning and design sections, and operational forces.  It is headed by the Operations Section of the Operations Division; the Intelligence Division consists of the Management and Analysis, Weapons Control Intelligence, and Collection Requirements and Evaluation Sections.

    The branches in various countries have only code names, and there are twelve offices in total: one in Citigroup, two in Japan, and three inChina has four stations in Germany, five in France, six in Russia, seven in the United Kingdom, eight in Southeast Asia, nine in South America, ten in the Middle East, eleven in Africa, and twelve in South Asia.  Internal people call the action force the Thirteenth Division because this force has been overseas for a long time and has a large number of people.

    Jackson is John Crocker¡¯s uncle. He is a senior employee who joined the company very early.  Petrov is Andreev¡¯s college classmate and a former employee of the Russian Ministry of State Security; Liancheng is a fellow villager of Lizhuang and a former member of the Chinese MSS; Jerome Wilson is Lisa¡¯s cousin, and Norman Barry is Hof  Mann's cousin, both used to play in Canberra's special unit.

    These five people all have working experience in the intelligence service, and they were all outstanding figures at the supervisory level, but the Overseas Bureau of Investigation OBI is a piece of shit.  This department has been established for nearly ten years. It has hired many experts for training and spent hundreds of millions of gold coupons on training. It is still no match for the intelligence departments of major powers and often calls for support from operational troops.  Li Zhuang was very angry. The five bureau chiefs were embarrassed and aggrieved at the same time. They said that the construction of the intelligence system would take a long time and there were not many experienced employees in the bureau.

    Li Zhuang thought about it carefully and felt that they were right. This area really requires a deep knowledge. Remembering that the predecessors of CIA and FBI were also rubbish at that time, he had to ask major research institutes to set up corresponding groups to provide technical support, and Overseas Investigation Bureau employees took  The high-end equipment can barely support it.

    ¡°Zhuangtou, we¡¯re here, Jackson is at the door.¡± Li Meng reminded him.

    The headquarters of the Overseas Investigation Bureau is a complex of five gray buildings. It is relatively remote and located at the junction of the cities of Willin and Wesson.  The ground here has been hollowed out and it is a standard military control area. The Weizhou Police Internal Affairs Unit is located nearby.

    Although he was dissatisfied with the results of the Overseas Investigation Bureau, Li Zhuang still respected Jackson.  The director worked hard for the construction of the Overseas Investigation Bureau, although his behavior of often going to the Biotechnology Research Institute to extort health products was a bit unkind.

    "Hello, boss!" Jackson was a little afraid of Li Zhuang. He didn't know why, maybe it was out of a common intuition among intelligence officers.

    "Hello Richie, do you know about the disappearance of employees from the business department and the medical group?" Li Zhuang got straight to the point.

    "I just called and said that the Los Angeles branch of wlhc has reported the case to them and is investigating."

    "Go up and sit down. I have something else to ask you, Ade, come up together." Li Zhuang was a little curious when he saw Xia Yuande. He had never been to this place before.

    The director¡¯s office is on the ninth floor of the second building, with a small conference room next to it.  When Li Zhuang and Xia Yuande came up, they saw no one.

    "Where have they all gone?" Li Zhuang was a little confused.

    "We invited the former director of the British SIS to come and teach counterintelligence courses." Jackson said.  sis, the British Secret Intelligence Service, the famous MI6.

    "You're not a liar again, are you?" Li Zhuang said casually. Jackson's old face turned red, while Xia Yuande looked in disbelief.

    "Brother Zhuang, who is so bold and dares to go to the intelligence department to defraud?" the old handsome guy asked.

    ¡°Ask Rich, this matter is still the laughing stock of the intelligence community!¡± Li Zhuang became angry when he thought of this incident. Afterwards, he ordered to cut the training expenses of the Overseas Intelligence Service and let the robot drag the big liar to the Human Gene Research Institute.

    "This incident was purely accidental. That guy is indeed a master and has worked in a well-known organization." Jackson was very depressed when he said this. He had worked in CIA for more than ten years and considered himself to be a master, but he didn't expect that he would fall into such a big trap.  Somersault.

    Arthur had never heard of this matter. When he listened to Jackson's story, Xia Yuande found it a bit unbelievable. This matter had to start from nine years ago.

    ??In the company¡¯s planning, the most difficult areas to recruit senior talents are the aerospace, medical and intelligence departments. These departments have special characteristics.  In terms of aerospace, the company took advantage of the turbulent situation to poach many people from China. The Russian economy was not good, so the company provided a lot of assistance and was able to exchange for good talents. There were very few people like Andreev.  It is difficult to recruit talents in Citigroup. Fortunately, this country has a developed aerospace industry and many people have worked for NASA, so the company has found some experienced people.

    The medical field is quite special. In Li Zhuang¡¯s impression, there is no country where high-level doctors and medical researchers have a bad life. Even in China, where doctors have a very bad reputation, high-level medical talents are paid well.  The Institute of Medicine mainly takes advantage of its geographical location to poach Australian universities, research institutes and large hospitals. Even Huffman came here this way.

    In terms of intelligence, it goes without saying that the talents in this field are more or less insane and cannot be measured by common sense.  There are many double agents. Even well-known organizations such as CIA, FBI, MSS, SIS and kgb have fallen into trouble, not to mention United Technologies Corporation, which is mainly composed of scientists and engineers.Big collective.

    Everyone knows that United Technologies is rich. Its annual patent royalties alone are as high as one billion gold coupons, and the profits of industrial groups are several times this number.  We are not afraid of thieves, but we are afraid that thieves will miss us. Therefore, the company's top management has always spared no effort in investing in the security system, and the three major intelligence agencies have sufficient funds.

    When there were not many people in the early days, the three major intelligence agencies and the commercial intelligence center had nearly 10 billion US dollars in annual funding, which was more than the intelligence agencies of many countries.  Considering the particularity of this field, except for some reliable external talents, we basically look for core employees who can adapt to this field from within.

    Training is a common thing, and the security committee composed of the management of the three major intelligence agencies is responsible for training operations.  The economic crisis has lasted for many years and political turmoil has occurred frequently. Many professional intelligence personnel have lost their jobs, or simply cannot stand the too fierce struggle and have withdrawn from the field.  These experienced talents are important targets hired by the safety committee to give lectures.  Although the rules of the intelligence community are very strict, it is normal times and the country has sufficient restraint. However, few of these agents are normal and they will not control too much.  What the Security Committee wants to teach them is skills, not inquiring into the secrets of several major intelligence agencies. For the sake of gold, many people often take the opportunity to travel to make some extra money.

    The first person who came here was the former deputy director of the Operations Division of CIA. That guy had been out for a few years, but his level was quite good.  The three-day training was an eye-opener for the rookies in the intelligence community. Some of the techniques he taught were used within a few days, and the results were very good.  Therefore, the Finance Department of the Safety Committee paid a high lecture fee of 20,000 gold coupons.  When the proud former deputy director returned to Citi, he was noticed by his old colleagues who had worked at CIA. This matter slowly spread, and everyone knew that the United Technologies Corporation Safety Committee was looking for a teacher to give lectures.

    The Security Committee is a semi-public organization to the outside world. As for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Overseas Investigation Bureau and the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of Security, they are not on the official list and even have internal code names.  The Ministry of Internal Affairs is the first bureau, the Overseas Investigation Bureau is the second bureau, and the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of Security was established the latest and is the third bureau.  Many employees have worked in the Safety Committee for many years and do not know the actual name of their own unit. They think that the other two bureaus are branches of the Safety Committee and there is no big difference.  This is inherited from Lizhuang's old habit. Weisen City and Xinwei City are both digital worlds. There are basically no place names here, which is the place where the outside world collapses the most.  For example, someone asked, where is Route 11, Route 342?  Non-experienced employees will not know the specific place. It may be Route 4 that is parallel or intersecting with Route 3, but usually it is not. In fact, it is Route 7 that is parallel to Route 342, and the road that crosses it is called Route 473.  , the terrible thing is that this road is only ten kilometers long.  The installation of base protection systems in Weisen City and Xinwei City is very common. It is difficult for satellites to capture specific maps. Unless the big country develops new technologies, it will not be completed in the short term.

    Li Zhuang was thinking about his proud work, but he didn't expect that while he thought most of the people engaged in intelligence were insane, Jackson also thought that the people at Wesson Technology were unreasonable.  Originally, there was a vacant house in Weilin City, but Jackson firmly refused to move to Weilin City. He couldn't stand the digital streets and chose to settle in Weilin City, which is mainly composed of engineers.

    Jackson was telling stories by himself and ignored Li Zhuang. It was very common for the big boss to be in a daze.

    ¡°We invite people to give lectures many times, and the training fees are always very high. There are many experts who come to give lectures, but there are also many who are pretending. A guy who once worked in the Russian Ministry of State Security came over to join in the fun.  What we need most is a lecture on operations and intelligence. That guy used to be an office worker, but he pretended to be very experienced and kept us in shock. Later, when we went out to make phone calls, the secret was revealed and he was caught by the security system.  The mastermind found out that he was a liar."

    When Jackson said this, his face was embarrassed, but Li Zhuang knew that things were not that simple.  Over the years, OBI has suffered repeated defeats and has gained a bad reputation in the intelligence community, becoming a laughing stock among established agencies.  He didn't want to expose Jackson's shortcomings in front of Arthur and Xia Yuande. It was unkind. After all, everyone wanted to save face.

    The phone on the table rang, and Jackson stood up and picked up the phone, "Well, it's me, what's wrong? Huh?! How could this happen? Let's deal with the aftermath. I told the boss to pay attention to safety behind."

    "Boss, there is news from Beijing. What you told us last time was not completed. All three departments in Beijing were wiped out. The deputy directors of the three departments were double agents and have fled to Citigroup. In addition, wlhc China Branch received dozens of  There were summonses, all for lawsuits, saying that there was something wrong with our smoking cessation products, and someone even carried a body and blocked the door of the Shanghai office."

    "Let's do it step by step. We must provide compensation for the injured employees. Report the list to Vicky. I will go there to visit the family in person." Li Zhuang's voice was low, and he didn't know how many times it was this time.

    As for tobacco control, let¡¯s save it. Last year, ChinaThe tax paid by Xia Tobacco Industry to the government alone is 500 million gold coupons. What a huge number, not to mention the overall profits of the tobacco industry and the huge number of employees.

    One of the things that needed to be asked had no answers, and the other had a tragic ending. Li Zhuang, Xia Yuande and Arthur left the Overseas Investigation Bureau in despair.  He decided to go back and make a thorough summary to see where the problem lies.  Behind the brilliance of United Technologies in recent years, there are many shadows, and it is getting closer and closer to crisis.
