- The Intelligent Production Laboratory is the place where Wesson Technology¡¯s computer talents are most concentrated, with hundreds of PhD holders. However, no one in the "80-member group" has received a doctorate degree, and the youngest one is still a junior. Although he is not well-known in the IT world, there is no doubt about Li Zhuang's level, as evidenced by the excellence of his disciples. Within the intelligent production laboratory, he is the chief instructor, often gives lectures, and has a teacher-student relationship with most people.
"You have to seriously consider how much of your group of students who are in computer science can keep their jobs. They are not regular employees." Zhou Qisen said.
Li Zhuang rubbed his face, "On other people's territory, you can't be too arrogant. Just argue with reason. Besides, we are a foreign-funded enterprise. How many of the eighty-member group are naturalized?"
Zhou Qisen calculated it silently, raised his head and said: "There are about ten people, the others have not been considered for the time being, but the four you are most optimistic about have all become Australian citizens. I hope the problem is not big."
Li Zhuang was silent for a moment, "I'll ask Zhang Kai, he is good at this kind of stuff."
Zhou Qisen said: "Let's go together. Computer companies have spent tens of millions in training fees. I hope researchers will not do outrageous things, otherwise it will be too disappointing."
When the two arrived at the executive vice president's office, Zhang Kai was waiting. Li Zhuang went straight to the point, "Someone is coming from the capital tomorrow, probably related to the research on smartphones. Can you give me an idea on what to do?"
Zhang Kai said softly: "What else can we do, cool! The soldiers are coming and will cover up the water and the earth. You don't have to have a phone, why are you running around?"
Li Zhuang smiled and said, "It's easy to get rusty if you sit in the office all the time. Come out and change your mind. You'd better help me think about it. You are a master at negotiating. I am very good at it. I will count on you and Zhou Qisen tomorrow."
Zhang Kai waved his hand, "Go ahead and count the doctoral-level researchers in the Intelligent Production Laboratory to see who is wrong."
Li Zhuang nodded goodbye and went straight back to the office. He picked up the phone and called Jin Changze, "Changze, is there anything unusual during this time?"
"It's normal now. The park is no different from before. I heard from Dr. Zhou that someone from Beijing will come tomorrow."
Li Zhuang hummed, "I'm afraid there will be an accident, so you should be more vigilant from now on."
"Don't worry, I will increase the defense level."
Li Zhuang put down the phone and called up the information of the computer researcher and pondered the doubts. He ignored the disciples for the time being. He didn't expect them to work for the company. It would be best if they didn't come.
¡¡
Early the next morning, Wesson Technology executives met at the gate to welcome visitors from the capital. The motorcade was huge and magnificent.
Zhou Qisen chuckled, "Good guy, such a big convoy seems to be quite impressive. Could it be that they are searching for talents along the way, and we are just one of the stops?"
No one answered, because the convoy had stopped, and people of all sizes emerged from it, but judging from their temperament, there were only about twenty people who were really doing the work. It's unclear whether there are people from the special department involved. People who have received strict training are good at disguise.
The leader¡¯s surname is Duan, an academician of the Academy of Sciences, and the leader of the government department is a gentleman surnamed Zu, who is said to be a senior official in charge of this project. Academician Duan's name is out there, so he can't fake it. It's hard to tell his ancestors. Who knows which yamen he belongs to.
The meaningless pleasantries made everyone feel excited, but at the beginning of the meeting, we didn¡¯t know what the situation would be like. After the beginning of the new year, computer researchers from various research institutes were transferred. Related news can be seen everywhere in newspapers and websites. As always, they are very heroic in their work. As for whether the harassed unit agrees, that is not something that some people need to consider.
We sat down in the small conference room in the administrative building, the president¡¯s secretary gave us tea, and everyone started talking about business.
Academician Duan said: "Dr. Zhou, I met your mentor Mr. Yu before I came out. He praised you very much. You have contributed a lot to the development of Wesen Technology into its current scale in just a few years."
"Thank you Dr. Duan for the compliment," Zhou Qisen said habitually. As soon as he opened his mouth, he knew he had made a mistake, so he had to bite the bullet and continue, "This is the credit of all my colleagues. I am just the leader. If you have anything to say, Bar."
Academician Duan frowned slightly, seemingly uncomfortable with the title "Dr. Duan". Doctorates are everywhere, but academicians are very few. Zhou Qisen has often gone abroad in the past few years. Wesson Technology also mainly refers to academic qualifications internally, and he forgot to change his name for a while.
"Young people are terrible, this era is still yours after all. Without further ado, the main reason for coming here this time is to recruit employees who are familiar with computers at Wesson Technology to participate in bai's research work. This time we are mobilizing the whole country, and I hope you can support it. This is A major event related to the future and destiny of the country and nation.¡±
Academician Duan boasted a little, and then started some mobilization. The slogan was very old-fashioned and very practical.
??Zhou Qisen continued, "Of course we can support it if we can, but Wesson Technology is not computer-based. Do you think we can find useful talents here?"
"Your place is very intellectually intensive and there are many experts. We have a recommendation list of schools. I hope you can agree."
After finishing speaking, Academician Duan turned around and asked the legal representative who was regarded as an invisible person, "Mr. Li won't object, right?"
Although he didn't like this guy, Comrade Li had no choice but to say, "You have to let us see the specific list first. We also have to ask for the consent of individual employees. What do you think?"
¡°Minister Zu, could you please show me the list?¡±
Li Zhuang watched their performance coldly and knew it well. The person named Zu is probably a deputy minister. It is impossible for a full minister to travel around the country and have a lot of things to deal with. I don¡¯t know what department it is specifically. Wesson Technology¡¯s Internal Affairs Department is also a department.
Zhou Qisen took the list with both hands and scanned it, then stood up immediately, "Many of the people on your list are not computer professionals. Tell me, what do you mean?"
Li Zhuang was shocked. Are these people carrying private goods? This kind of thing is very common now. It is common for people in official circles to seek benefits for themselves while doing business.
Academician Duan chuckled, "We can't just study smart machines, robots and automation are both subsidiary research projects of AI. Wesson Automation is famous, and we need many talents."
Zhou Qisen's face turned slightly red, "We are a foreign-funded enterprise. If you must choose, we must obtain the consent of our employees. In addition, if it involves the company's technical secrets, if there are competitors using the company's technology outside, we reserve the right to litigate. "
Academician Duan nodded, "That's natural. You are an enterprise after all, and you have to follow the procedures that should be followed."
Zhang Kai didn¡¯t say anything, Li Zhuang didn¡¯t say much, Minister Zu didn¡¯t say a word, and the matter was settled like this for the time being.
In the next few days, people in Wesson Technology were in panic, and all the researchers who were not Australian citizens were interviewed by the company's human resources department and the Beijing talent selection team. The talent selection team acted very quickly. As long as they agreed, someone would immediately help them go through the formalities and leave for the capital. One-third of the Intelligent Production Laboratory was occupied at once, mainly by senior researchers in computers, robotics and automation.
On the last day, the conflict finally broke out. They wanted to transfer core employees of the new energy laboratory on the grounds that "robots need energy."
"Zhou Qisen, you are not Chinese, so why don't you think about the country? Besides, these are China's precious assets. If they are allowed to be used by foreign-funded enterprises, we are already merciful outside the law. Don't go too far, this is still the world of xx .¡±
Minister Zu is full of yin and yang aura and full of authority. Zhou Qisen was furious, "I am now Australian, British, and Citizen, and do not have Chinese nationality. I ranked fifth in the city in the college entrance examination and passed the university entrance examination. The wealth I have created for the country over the years has been worthy of the so-called training fee." . Showing mercy outside the law? Don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t know that you are here specifically for us. Who is afraid of whom? At worst, we will break up and we will go back to Australia!"
Both Zhang Kai and Li Zhuang stood up, and the atmosphere in the conference room was tense.
When Academician Duan saw that something was going wrong, he quickly smoothed things over, "Being friendly makes you rich, being friendly makes you rich, don't argue, Minister Zu, or just forget it and let's look for it somewhere else."
The two parties broke up on bad terms, and the visitor from Beijing left angrily, but the management of Wesson Technology did not say goodbye.
"How long can a dying old lady continue to be arrogant? Damn!"
Zhou Qisen spat disdainfully, showing no image of a cultured man. The supervisors smiled bitterly beside him.
The Beijing talent selection team has been to internationally renowned large companies, but they have contacted employees privately, instead of directly opening up to important people like they did at Wesson Technology. The final analysis is that Wesson Technology is too small and cannot be compared with large companies with sales of more than 100 billion US dollars. Pure R&D companies have flaws and are prone to being spied on. Even well-known institutions like Bell Labs are either in the name of the country or in the name of a giant company. **Among the R&D institutions, Wesson Technology is one of the larger ones.
The company management discovered the true purpose of the people coming from Beijing on the third day. When a doctor from the Intelligent Production Laboratory left his job, he ran to the director's office and said, "I'm leaving, Mr. Li, please take care!"
Li Zhuang immediately concluded that some people were undercover and some were coerced. The pervasive relevant departments were able to deal with these researchers with ease. The so-called talent selection team in Beijing is clearly targeting Wesson Technology and does not represent the real thoughts of the top management. They are not that stupid and have the power to bring in private goods.
The city government that received the request for help reported to the province, but was beaten back. There were people from the capital not only from the province, but also from the central government. In addition, K city is developing rapidly, and many companies that originally planned to invest in the provincial capital have moved here instead. The relationship between the two cities is somewhat tense. These people make excusesIt's so full that people can't find any thorns in it. Only Wesson Technology can feel the pain in the heart. Everything was covered up, and even ordinary people who were jealous of the income of Wesson Technology employees were overjoyed.
Wang Wenming acted so quickly that it took only one day after the Beijing talent selection team left to find out the whole story and reported it to Zhang Kai, who immediately convened a meeting with senior officials.
"What should I do?" Zhou Qisen asked.
Li Zhuang snorted, "What else can we do? We have invested so much in training that some people regard us as a training base. If researchers in important positions still retain Chinese nationality, they will be dismissed directly."
The audience looked at each other, Zhang Kai coughed, "It's hard to find talents now, why not transfer them to non-important positions?"
Li Zhuang half-smiled, "Do you think they will agree? I'm surprised that Wesson Technology has developed so fast. Slow down, just slow down, it's no big deal. There is no need for people who can't figure things out to be in Wesson Technology." We are a company that operates legally. We should not use big names to pressure people. If we play politics every day, we will have no time to engage in research and development."
Just when Zhang Kai wanted to continue, Zhou Qisen clapped his hands and said, "Let's do it this way. We can't deal with the government and businessmen. Don't forget, it's not just our competitors who are looking for trouble, but also local Australian forces. Super estates are under great pressure now. If you have any opinions, you can Put it forward, and if you have no objections, go back and investigate the employees¡¯ wishes and handle it within three days.¡±
The members of the high-level joint meeting walked out silently. If the resolution is strictly implemented, I don¡¯t know how many of the subordinates who have been together day and night will choose to leave. Some of them may even stand in the dock in the future.
Li Zhuang returned to the office, picked up the phone and called Li Zongyang, Ren Mingmei and Fu Jiaguang, asking the chief and deputy team leaders of the eleven project teams, as well as their subordinate supervisors and core employees to have a meeting in the large conference room on the ninth floor.
Since the Intelligent Production Laboratory and the Basic Physics Laboratory occupied the Hexagonal Building, there has never been such a large-scale joint meeting. The employees were all puzzled, and they were even more surprised to see the serious-looking legal representative.
"Azhuang, what's the matter?" Miao Xingyan asked.
Li Zhuang glanced at the venue and said in a deep voice: "The senior management made a decision today. If researchers in important positions still retain Chinese nationality, they will be dismissed directly."
There was an uproar in the conference room. Some people were indignant and said, "What does nationality have to do with research? The company did not restrict nationality when recruiting people. Now that it is prospering, don't you want to burn bridges?"
Li Zhuang narrowed his eyes, and then relaxed, "The talent selection team in Beijing has severely damaged the company's research. Half of the fourth-level and above researchers in many laboratories have been removed, all because of their nationality. We can see losses as high as more than one billion, far away The period and invisible ones are at least over 10 billion. Don¡¯t worry, we will provide adequate compensation for the dismissed researchers and we will not take advantage of you.¡±
There was surprise in the conference room, and Miao Xingyan hesitated, "Is it really that big?"
Li Zhuang sighed, "Researchers on the mcsb project team have also resigned. They may have been coerced. I guess Citigroup will take action. Wesson Technology affects too many companies. Maybe we will become the center between Beijing and Washington. Sandwich biscuits. It¡¯s no longer a luxury to have both sides. If you continue to play your own tricks, Canberra will take action.¡±
The conference room fell into silence for a moment, and no one spoke for a long time. Li Zhuang continued slowly, "You are all employees in important positions, and your safety level is not bad. I believe you will not do anything to disgrace the company, but have you ever thought about whether your character is good if the person who came last time threatens you again? Yes, I¡¯ll give you three days to think about it.¡±
Bo Ronghui stood up and said, "Canberra is not a good bird either. Australian citizenship may become a bigger trouble."
People in the conference room couldn't help but talk about politics "in a daze". Li Zhuang chuckled lightly, "But there are few people in Australia. There are millions of people in the United Technologies system, including their family members, plus our circle of connections, so it's easy to handle."
Bo Ronghui scratched his head, "How many people are there in Australia?"
The attendees were stunned. Li Zhuang said: "The specific number is unknown, but it should not exceed 30 million, which is not much more than H Province."
Bo Ronghui sat down with a sigh and stopped talking. The conference room fell into silence again. Li Zhuang smiled and stood up and left, ignoring him and concentrating on research.
¡¡
In April, Wesson Technology¡¯s business system was operating well, but its research system suffered heavy losses. Li Zhuang looked at the many vacant seats in the office of the Intelligent Production Laboratory and sighed. At the same time, he was glad that the four major disciples did not have high academic qualifications, and no one even looked at Jin Guozheng, who had top qualifications.
In the files of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, this mess that happened in April was named the "Old Lady Incident", a meaningful name that came from Zhou Qisen's mouth.
The construction speed of the super estate is accelerating, and the desert transformation cannot start quickly.??. Wu Wg and Wang Feng chose the area close to La Grange to start building factory areas, research areas and residential areas. This area is not considered a real desert. The factories in the relationship circle did not expand, but instead increased investment near Perth and La Grange. It's hard to find people, but it doesn't matter. Now wlfs has the strength in automation to achieve unmanned production.
"Is it necessary to retain my nationality? But if I also naturalize, I may run into trouble in some operations."
Li Zhuang had a headache, and then felt ashamed for his impure motives for marrying Lisa, "If I hadn't married Lisa, I would probably be the one who was sent to the capital this time, but I am considered a big businessman now. They dare not act arbitrarily.¡±
It is impossible to walk in the cracks without paying the price. Life is not perfect. Outside the window, someone was shouting and cursing. I don¡¯t know who they were scolding. Maybe it was the senior management of the company, maybe it was the group of people named Zu.
