In this way, Alice's big career in Britain was set. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The day of the Li family's visit to England, as well as the next two days, were spent in the city of London. A glance at the office is enough to do anything, and since they are shareholders, of course, they have to follow the whole process of the establishment of the entire enterprise. Even if many things have been completed by Alice in advance, Li Ka-shing will of course have to understand some hardware-level indicators in the future operation process.

So after visiting the Roswell Building, Li Ka-shing met with Remus-Byrne, a veteran designer recruited by Alice from Foster Architects. A few months before and after have been enough for this industry old man to recruit many peers to open a new office office in a good office building in the city.

It was these fifteen people led by him who provided a lot of help in the details of the Alice Building, which was being built in Los Angeles at this time. Don't look at this as the controlling person's own work, Alice is completely in accordance with the law, the contract is signed how to sign, and the design consulting fee is indeed set by her and Bourne after repeated discussions, which is completely the market price.

The basic salary plus welfare allowance is not less than the money that the employees of the whole firm should earn. If you want to say what the difference is, it's just that Bourne, who is also a shareholder, will make less money in the field of share dividends, that is, the net profit will be lower~

Sending people from Hong Kong's Cheung Kong Group is a complicated task, and it will be slowly realized after Li Ka-shing returns to Hong Kong, and then he will continue to work with Li Zekai, who is staying in London. After a preliminary understanding of the office environment and the future design department, the next thing to do on this visit was to go to Exeter, which is located at the southeastern tip of the island of Great Britain.

It is a great honor for a small city with a population of only 100,000 to welcome two billion-dollar businessmen.

"Allow me to referral. ”

In the office on the fifth floor of the research institute, Alice introduced a middle-aged lady with flowing blond hair to the three members of the Li family: "This is Ms. Edmer-Plant, director of the Exeter Industrial Research Institute of the Draken Drilling Company. Ms. Plande, this is the chairman of the Hong Kong Cheung Kong Group, Mr. Li Ka-shing. ”

A very necessary meeting was arranged at this key place. Ms. Plande shook Li Ka-shing's hand in high spirits and said, "Hello, Mr. Li, welcome to invest in the UK, we have been operating in this country for fifteen years, and if you have any related needs, we are more than happy to help." ”

"That's my pleasure. Li Ka-shing greeted politely, and then was invited by Alice to sit down in the reception area.

Ms. Plande said, "Presumably Mr. Li has already visited Miss Wang's research institute?"

"We walked up and looked through the window at the hard-working programmers. Li Ka-shing speaks British English very fluently, even better than Ms. Prund, who is a European: "On the way here, I have already heard the introduction of the young Miss Wang, your company is going to develop into the field of machine tool industry?"

"Exactly. "Although it was only the director of the institute and not the general manager of Draken England who was present, Ms. Plande was far more qualified to sit here than the other person who was in charge of the current goal.

"Ms. Wang's research institute has the fastest supercomputer in the world, and with its help, we can design new machine tools by many percentage points. Our industrial research institute was set up in Exeter in order to make it most convenient for us to cooperate with Ms. Wang. ”

The two Li brothers listened on the sofa next to them, and they had no intention of interjecting. After all, it's not Alice's unconventional, their age is still too immature compared to the business they are doing now. Li Zeju is okay, but the second son, Li Zekai, just graduated from college last year, and it is too late to seize every opportunity to absorb knowledge, so there is no reason not to listen carefully.

"I personally highly agree with your company's initiatives, and I understand that companies that move forward have a bright future. Of course, Li Ka-shing did not skimp on his praise: "I wonder what field Draken is very good at in addition to his rich experience in drilling rig production?"

Today's meeting, of course, was foreseen in advance, and Ms. Plande fully understood what Li Ka-shing meant, and said with a smile: "Although Germany's economy is very developed, after all, its fundamental territorial area cannot be compared to that of the United States. The world is so big, we have a history of 100 years, and we know very well other companies in the same industrial field in China. ”

In terms of pharmaceutical production, because Miss Wang had already known about the head office, Draken, which was in the transition period, did plan to take the pharmaceutical production line as the top priority. If you are willing to give our company a period of time, I believe that the head office will sell a batch of high-end equipment of excellent quality for the new company at a very fair price. What do you think?"

At this point, Ms. Plande could take a short rest, and she took a sip of her coffee. The aroma of the drink wafted through the office, and the other three people in the room also took a sip of the contents of the glass. Li Ka-shing immediately asked about the details of the production line, and as the director of the new machine tool research and development institute, Edmer Plande not only responded easily, but immediately took out a stack of materials from his bag and distributed them to everyone present.

Obviously, it is necessary for everyone to go to the research institute in Draken again, as an investor and a boss, who can not be concerned about the equipment that will be used to produce their own products? But after all, this research institute is also in Exeter, and it can be reached in less than 20 minutes by car, so it is also necessary for everyone to have a general understanding of the information during this time of rest.

"Draken Company, Chairman ......" Alice also looked at the company's brochure for the first time, and to be honest, she was quite interested in this company, after all, the drilling rig has an indescribable charm. Digging all kinds of mines and digging all kinds of tunnels is an absolute "man's romance"!

"Director...... O'Brien Anderson!?"

However, to her great surprise, she saw a very familiar name among them!

It turned out to be such a causal relationship, and when she saw the name, Alice could be regarded as stringing an invisible thread. The female spy who came to find her, Viple, must have been acting under Anderson's instructions. The mysterious programmer's strange algorithm and the borrowing of computers for enterprise transformation are obviously invisible!

"Miss Wang knows Mr. Anderson?" asked Mrs. Plande politely.

"I've met a few times, but it's all on messy occasions. Alice put down the brochure with a bang: "This is marked as an independent director?"

"Yes, Mr. Anderson is an independent director of our Draken and he will not be involved in the day-to-day running of the company except for important meetings. ”

It turned out to be like this, it turned out to be like this, and it was really like this, Alice smiled sincerely: "It's funny, although I have reached a multi-party agreement with your company, I haven't gotten to know all of your directors." Ms. Plande, I would venture to ask, which director was the first to propose the development of the Draken into the machine tool industry?"

Edmer Plande, a former deputy director of technology from the German headquarters in the UK, is now the director of the institute. Whether the status is high or not, whether it is a parallel transfer or a promotion or a delegation, obviously depends on the specific role played by the research institute in the process of company transformation.

Therefore, the question of which director is proposing a company's strategic level resolution is too difficult for her. Plande shook his head and smiled wryly, which was not surprising at all: "I'm afraid you can only ask the top management, Miss Wang, but I think that such a decision of great concern must have been approved by the board of directors after comprehensive discussion." ”

Of course, this level of proposal will not be accepted all at once, Alice knows, her question is just a simple question, and the deeper things are not to be revealed at this time.

But in this way, doesn't it seem like you are in danger?

Alice has never forgotten that when she met O'Brien Anderson in Los Angeles, she was attacked by a European masked and hired Chinatown thug. To say that this was not instructed by the guy, Alice wouldn't believe it when she patted her ass.

Well, it turns out that this guy is still an independent director of Draken?

Independent directors are independent of the company's shareholder group, do not hold positions within the company, have no significant business or professional connections with the company or the company's management and management, and do not make independent judgments on the company's affairs. To put it bluntly, its existence is actually equivalent to retail shareholders with high shareholdings, and non-staff personnel who simply sit on the basis of profits.

It's very inconspicuous, very inconspicuous, and if it weren't for the fact that the brochure handed over by Ms. Plande was really too detailed, no one would know what other independent directors this company would have.

As a result, it's good that the person who once sent someone to make a certain degree of "disadvantage" to himself actually ran into his own partnership?

Although she was only an independent director with no real power, Alice instinctively realized that if she really thought so, the pattern Tucson would be too young, too simple.

"Uncle Akkamán. That night, in her room, Alice hung up the phone at the headquarters of Blackwater in North Carolina: "I'm going to check two people for you, O'Brien Anderson and Ripplel Pushkin, the business representative and independent director of Sid Drakken, I'll send you all the information later, and then we'll discuss it." ”
