Volume 4: Walking in the Solar System Chapter 45: Followers and Leaders

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Wesson Technology's vertical system has turned many ideas into reality in just a dozen years, and the management capabilities of Zhou Qisen's team are obvious to all.  Li Zhuang is self-aware and knows that he is a theoretical person and cannot compare with the real masters, so he rarely interferes. The company's self-discipline system can control these smart people in high positions for him.

    People who like to talk a lot in life rarely have outstanding management skills. Only people with high IQ and EQ can manage a system like United Technologies that has both research and industry. Zhou Qisen is very qualified to be the president, and he is a member of the Ninety-nine People Joint Conference.  The main final ruling is that the governor is very happy now, and there are many affairs in Wisconsin, which has a rapidly growing population.

    Li Zhuang and Da Mian, the two largest shareholders of United Technologies, basically don't care about the company. Zhou Qisen has been in the position of president for almost ten years, but Li Zhuang hopes that he can continue. Who knows what files he added to the computer expert?  Here comes a blow.

    "The president looks glamorous, but in fact it is not interesting. I have decided to resign in five years at most and continue my research!"

    "Dizzy! Zhang Kai's article won't have any side effects, right? No, Zhou Qisen has a very thick skin. Such a small blow can't shake him. It should be that his official fans' desires have been greatly satisfied."

    Li Zhuang scratched his head and recalled everything related to Zhou Qisen.  This guy has a connection with the company or him. When Zhang Kai was shameless, he was planning to immigrate to the UK. His father supported his decision, but his mother, who was opposed to it, had passed away.

    I don¡¯t know how Zhang Kai made the promise to him, but pure interests and positions will definitely not be able to impress this shrewd guy. It should be the result of multiple factors.  Zhou Qisen has a complicated mind and has always been a successful person. His wife Han Shumei's natal family is wealthy.  It is easy for technical talents of their level to immigrate, and there is no need to grit one's teeth and become mentally ill for the little money invested in immigration.  Their family is the envy of countless ordinary people. They go abroad whenever they want and come back whenever they want.

    When Weisen Technology started, the management dominated the company¡¯s development.  Li Zhuang's biggest role is as an investor. Without these like-minded people, with his little ability, the possibility of success is very small.  God is the one who can cover everything. This world is full of dangers and there are many masters. Only masters can compete with masters without falling behind.

    The proportion of executive talents cultivated by the domestic education model is not large, and many scholars have called for strengthening the cultivation of such talents.  Many groups cannot find qualified management talents and can only choose abnormal management models. This is one of the reasons why they cannot truly grow.  There are very few large-scale private enterprises, and the management system is a very important factor. It is obviously unfair to blame all the troubles on politics, because there are also many large enterprises in developed countries that have closed down due to poor management.

    There were no management experts in Li Zhuang¡¯s original circle, and they were either engaged in business or technology.  In order to boost his morale, he pretended to be ambitious, but he was not sure of victory and his life was full of chance.  United Technologies could grow to such a scale that no one, including management, had imagined.  Pragmatic people will not set their goals too high. Doing business is not about sitting at home, patting your head, self-hypnosis and daydreams. Unpredictable parameters such as the general situation and policies are a headache.

    The employees of Weisen Technology¡¯s preparatory team are still working in the company. Except for Wang Feng who can keep up, the others are in non-core departments.  Except for a few laboratory directors, most are still staying put. All they can enjoy is wealth growth, while scientific researchers hope to gain academic achievements. Their current living conditions are already very favorable.

    Zhou Qisen has been able to sit in the position of president for fifteen years and no one can oust him, which shows that this guy is an outstanding talent and is not comparable to ordinary people.  Among the members of the ninety-nine joint meeting, there are about thirty people who are proficient in both management and technology. Their background, ability and qualifications are all impeccable. They are also capable of being president, but from the current perspective, no one can reach Zhou Qisen's level.

    There are currently three first-tier candidates for the president of United Technologies Corporation. Dylan Fox, Huang Chaoqun and Benjamin McCauley are all vice president-level figures at the headquarters.  Fox is young, WLFs is well managed by him, and he is the best candidate.  Huang Chaoqun is two years older than Zhou Qisen, and his management capabilities in research and development are not as good as Fox's, while Wesson Technology is the focus of the company.  Macaulay is the most comprehensive among the three, has rich experience, and has sufficient qualifications, but he is too old and may not be able to handle it mentally.

    Tomer Miller, president of the military industrial group WLMs, is the fourth candidate, but WLMs is very important, and the possibility that the joint meeting will choose him as president is not high.

    Lawrence Hardy, president of Power Group WLPs, was the fifth candidate, but he had not been with the company long enough, although he was extremely outstanding.  Dr. Hardy is younger than Fox, only forty this year, half-Chinese, and can speak fluent Chinese.

    Military industry, medical care, energy, power and brain powerLarge groups are not listed and do not need to disclose their financial status. Their management levels are relatively high.  There are also many management experts in the second echelon, but it takes time to prove their loyalty and potential.

    For the moment, Zhou Qisen has to continue to stay, even though his desire for officialdom has been satisfied.  Ever since the company moved to Australia and grew rapidly, Canberra couldn't do anything about him within the existing system. Li Zhuang, who could suppress him, delegated almost all power to him and Da Mian, except for the director of the safety committee, who no one wanted to take over.  .

    Zhang Kai has probably wanted this position for six or seven years. He should know the troubles of this position, so he visited all the famous scenic spots on the earth beforehand.

    "This guy is cunning enough!" The chairman, who could not leave Weizhou, thought of the former executive vice president known as "The Traveler" and felt a little jealous.  He had no time to prepare and the incident happened suddenly, but Zhang Kai had the time to do everything he wanted to do before taking over the position of director of the safety committee.

    Li Zhuang came back to his senses and started to read what Zhou Qisen wrote. Unexpectedly, it started with the topic of the safety committee, and it was marked that it was written for him. He wrote a little bit about everything related to the company's operations, and it was passed by the joint meeting.  The company's adjustment plan has become an attachment.

    ¡°It¡¯s better this way. If it¡¯s too long, I might not be able to read it all in one night.¡± The computer expert secretly rejoiced. As soon as he saw the detailed adjustment plan of nearly 500 pages, he immediately decided to desert and let the company¡¯s senior management handle it on their own.

    Zhou Qisen¡¯s article involves the safety committee, R&D adjustments, industrial group adjustments, asa and large aircraft projects, etc. It is very scattered. There is no way around it. The company has nearly a thousand secondary branches.

    The Safety Committee will exist for a long time. Whether its final destination will be merged with relevant agencies in Canberra or continue to exist is not something that the company management can predict.  Zhou Qisen went to a meeting in Canberra last month. When the member of Congress responsible for security affairs asked about this matter, his attitude was the same as before. He also asked Congress about the timetable for establishing a new intelligence agency. However, the relevant people could not reply, mainly because of funding and other states.  Attitude.

    Congress is discussing plans to split the Australian Security Intelligence Service (ASIO) into the Australian Department of Home Affairs, the National Security Agency and the Defense Intelligence Agency, preparing to unify the intelligence departments of each force.  United Technologies doesn't care. Most of the other forces hope that the behemoth Security Council can be dismantled. However, two forces disagree, saying that it has a totalitarian tendency and is not in line with the spirit of the establishment of the Federation.  This matter cannot be resolved in the short term because the National Assembly Security Affairs Committee cannot obtain sufficient funding.

    Li Zhuang discussed the sensitive topic of the Security Committee during the Prime Minister's visit. The Prime Minister was helpless. Although the Australian armed forces were not weak with donations from Weizhou, the intelligence department was mediocre and could not guarantee the safety of United Technologies.  ASIO maintains a close cooperative relationship with the Overseas Investigation Bureau and the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of Security, and rarely sets foot in Wisconsin.

    Weizhou is Australia¡¯s research and development center and needs special protection.  Now the possibility of a world war is very small. The military can ensure external security, but internal security can only be handled by Weizhou.  The sequelae of rapid development have already emerged, and the establishment of relevant federal government agencies has lagged behind.

    There is not much written about the Safety Committee. Zhou Qisen rarely interferes with this organization, not because he is worried about Li Zhuang, but because he doesn¡¯t want to get into trouble. This area is full of black, and it is easy to not wash it off if you put your fair hands in it.

    "The ultimate goal of this adjustment is to strengthen theoretical research and eventually bring it to the same status as applied research and development. We are not followers now. The leaders pay a higher price because there is no reference target."

    Li Zhuang felt the same when he saw this sentence. In the past, when the company was a follower, it could avoid many detours, but now it cannot. The company's research in many aspects has surpassed other forces, and there is no one to catch up with.  In this adjustment, most research institutes were eliminated, leaving only three major research institutes: artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, and nanotechnology.  Changing the internal communication model based on research institutes to one based on research institutes is more efficient, but the safety factor is reduced. It is difficult to achieve both efficiency and safety in R&D management.  It used to be closed management, but any closed management model has limits, even in vertical systems. Only open management has sufficient space.

    The adjusted Wesson Technology includes asa, Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, Genetic Engineering Research Institute, Nanotechnology Research Institute, Department of Physics, Department of Chemistry, Department of Mathematics and Systems Science, Department of Biology, Department of Earth Sciences, Department of Agricultural Sciences, and Department of Medicine,  It has 18 branches including the Department of Mechanics, the Department of Information Science, the Department of Materials Science, the Department of Management Science, the Department of Energy Science, the Department of Environmental Science and the Department of Engineering, with hundreds of research institutes and nearly 3,000 laboratories affiliated to it.

    The communication model with the research institute as the main body improves management efficiency and R&D progress, and significantly reduces the cost of the joint dispatch centerThe academic department has replaced some of its functions, and the flattening of management has been further enhanced, but it has not brought greater pressure to the top management.

    In the past, the company mainly followed the footsteps of developed countries, but now it cannot do so, because even Citigroup¡¯s public theoretical research cannot keep up with the company¡¯s progress.  Just like others on the track are panting and unable to run, the followers have no choice but to run to the front, even though the end point is very far away.

    Companies in the energy and power sector can compete with any force, regardless of the type of research.  In terms of energy, nuclear fission power plant NPP has fallen behind and does not require intensive research. It focuses on research on nuclear waste treatment.  The research and development progress of nuclear fusion power plant TPP is normal. It may surpass etpt and become the first in the industry. The possibility of Citigroup overtaking it is very small.  There are two TPP projects under construction in Weizhou, one of which supplies power to the Pilbara region.  Western Australia intends to build a TPP with an installed capacity of three million kilowatts near Perth to cope with increasing electricity consumption.

    In the past four months, the energy group wles has received a total of 200 million kilowatts of orders in China. Coupled with Lizhuang's "loan return", these power plants will greatly improve China's energy and environmental difficulties, and are partially aided.  Fuel is currently provided by wles. In the future, Chinese research institutions will focus on domestic procurement after catching up.

    The Desalination Laboratory has used recent research results to build a dozen large-scale desalination plants in the north, with the same level as Weizhou.  These projects greatly promote company-related research and are a win-win situation.

    There are many researchers from Mexico in the company. This country is very chaotic, and the 13th Overseas Investigation Bureau often goes to this place.  It has 130 million people and rich resources. It is an important market for the company. It has been an important target of the company's support in recent years. Several large groups have close ties with Weizhou.

    In the power sector, Weizhou has been able to produce all engines, and the quality has reached first-class standards.  Nuclear engines have been developed into series, the solid nuclear fission engine has been successfully tested, and the gas core nuclear fission engine can be completed within three years. This is a truly high-end product.  Research on nuclear fusion engines is proceeding step by step, and flight tests will definitely be completed within fifteen years.

    There are a wide variety of conventional engines, and WLPs can produce all products.  Aviation engines include scramjet engines, pulse blast wave engines, turbines, aviation motors, etc. As long as Citigroup can produce them, they can be produced here, and most of the products are not inferior to competitors.  Internal combustion engines, gas turbines, steam turbines and electric machines are all solid, and nearly ten sets of marine nuclear power units have been produced.

    Compared with engines, the aircraft field is much inferior, but the aerospace group www.piaotia.coms military aircraft division expects to catch up with Citi within five years.  The current backwardness is not due to research problems, but to insufficient personnel. Skilled engineers are still being trained. The construction of necessary production facilities and theoretical verification will take time.

    Companies in the seven most profitable fields on the planet have maintained strong pressure on their competitors, and have slightly gained the upper hand in terms of turnover and profits.  What the company is best at is turning ideas into reality. There are fewer and fewer valuable theories that have been screened, so they have to increase investment in basic research to maintain progress in the engineering field.  The exhaustive method is expensive and is not the method of choice in advanced engineering fields.

    It is difficult to obtain usable information from peers in the aerospace field, and of course asa itself does the same.  The results of the Space Science Institute are kept confidential. On the contrary, the research institute under the Ministry of Astronomy has been very popular in recent years, but it cannot be used in the short term. It involves human beings' understanding of the universe, killing two birds with one stone.

    In addition to maintaining close cooperative relationships with cosmology, theoretical physics and mathematics research institutions in other countries, basic research in the field of engineering is handled by the company's relevant research institutes.

    According to human habits, other forces must still have room for power. Weizhou also has a lot of hidden strength. The advanced level of its technological reserves has surpassed the products available on the market for at least five years. Perhaps it can only be achieved after the technological level reaches a higher level.  Know the true level of your opponent.

    I have it, but you don¡¯t. No matter how much you brag, you can¡¯t change the reality. The simple deduction is that your skills are inferior to others, just like aerospace planes and aerospace fighters.  The aerospace planes of NASA and ASA have become the main means of transportation for materials required by the space station, but other forces rarely use such low-cost spacecraft. At least this shows that their technology is immature and they are not confident enough.  Small test aircraft do not belong to the category that needs to be treated seriously, and are still far from a real large-scale aerospace aircraft.

    "The end of next month will be when our astronauts land on the moon. I hope everything goes well." Zhou Qisen wrote a wish at the end of the article.

    "I also wish them good luck." The computer expert muttered, scanned the attachment directory, and then rationally chose to give up. The Artificial Intelligence Research Institute had already filled his head and he didn't want to know anything else.

    Continue??file, the article on the second to last line on the first page made Li Zhuang overjoyed. It was added a day ago.  The author is Durand, director of the Department of Physics and director of the Institute of Plasma Physics, which is the main research and development unit of nuclear fusion reactors.

    Content summary: "The inertial confinement nuclear fusion experimental reactor was successfully ignited! It is expected that a demonstration power plant can be built within three years or the research and development progress of the inertial confinement nuclear fusion engine can be improved!"
