Chapter 463: New Year, New Weather
In 2018, Oriental New City has become a new city with an output value of trillions of yuan, thousands of enterprises of all kinds, and more than 1 million industrial workers.
By the end of last year, Oriental Group had expanded by leaps and bounds, with 104 large and small scientific research institutions, 52 subsidiaries, more than 600 factories and more than 140 overseas service organizations, with a total of 320,000 employees, squeezed into the list of the world's top 500.
At the year-end meeting, the group issued a total of 20 billion year-end bonuses to employees! This amount is 10 times the total number of year-end bonuses last year, and the average bonus per person is more than 100,000.
Galaxy Group, Taoyuan Group and Kyushu Industrial Group have also achieved remarkable results, and there is not much difference in employee benefits.
As long as regular employees do not make mistakes, the minimum annual salary is 200,000 yuan, and the low-level managers at the supervisor level can basically reach an annual salary of one million.
Further up, senior managers and scientific researchers who have made important contributions have incomes of up to 10 million, and billionaires at the level of vice presidents, directors, and general managers have also produced a lot.
In short, Oriental New City has become a manufacturing base for the rich, and in terms of the concentration of wealth, perhaps only a few places such as Wall Street and Silicon Valley can compare.
In terms of attracting talents, Viet An is far inferior to Tianjing and Haigang, and private enterprises are also ranked behind foreign and state-owned enterprises.
However, Oriental New Town has broken this law, and the treatment and benefits in China are not only first-class, but also a step a year, improving step by step, which can make people see infinite hope.
What is even more exciting is that the four major groups are still in a period of rapid development, and various opportunities are great. Take a look at the senior executives who now enjoy tens of millions of annual salaries. A year or two ago, most of them were white-collar workers. A few are even fresh graduates out of school.
The all-round management of Super Smart Brain provides a fair and just development environment for the employees of the four major groups, as long as you have real talent and real learning, there will definitely be channels for improvement.
In 17 years, the total assets of the Eastern Group were $150 billion, with net sales of $410 billion and net income of $220 billion.
The annual revenues of the Eastern Bloc alone have already exceeded the fiscal revenues of many countries in a year. It can really be called a rich country.
Taoyuan Group, Galaxy Group and Kyushu Work Group are only slightly worse in scale, with net income of more than $100 billion.
It's surprising that the profits are so high, in fact, the big four groups all have a characteristic, their products are always the most advanced, and where other companies can produce products, the big four groups either give up or have higher technical content.
This gives the Big Four an unshakable supremacy in the industry.
In last year's Fortune Global 500, all four major groups were on the list, relying on various technological innovations and technology licensing in terms of profit margins. It has completely exploded all enterprises in the world.
The scientific research bases of the four major groups of Oriental New City have absorbed more than 21,000 researchers from all over the world, including authoritative and great scientists from all walks of life. No less than hundreds!
Because of the need for confidentiality, the four major groups are also confident that they will not be able to crack the key technology by the outside world, so they rarely apply for patents.
However, the scientists in each room won more than half of the world-class scientific awards in 2017, and their influence in the scientific community far exceeds that of Xinhuaguo.
There are many research institutes in Xinhuaguo, and they often claim to have developed world-leading technologies. But if you dig deeper, many of the technologies are on paper, or rather, in the days of big coverage.
The so-called "world-leading technology" is highly debatable, and second-rate technology is also leading compared to third-rate technology.
Often, after the achievement report and the evaluation of professional titles and advanced evaluations, many "world-leading technologies" will no longer be mentioned.
Judging by the technical indicators reported by the media, Xinhua should have surpassed Western countries dozens of times.
In order to integrate the scientific research strength of the four major groups, Ye Quan ordered the establishment of the Academy of Oriental Sciences, and at the same time awarded 283 scientists who have made great achievements and outstanding contributions in various fields with the title of "academician".
In the eyes of outsiders, the gold content of these 283 academicians far exceeds that of the academicians of the National Academy of Sciences, which attracts scientists from all over the world to join.
Although Ye Quan cracked a large number of super-era products, in technology research and development, the credit of scientific researchers is only a small half;
Although, with a large super brain, it has played a huge role in promoting scientific research, speeding up the process of earth civilization by geometric magnitude;
But the development of this science is inseparable from the wisdom of scientists, and human beings have places that are difficult for artificial intelligence to achieve in terms of imagination, reasoning, thinking, and judgment.
In order to better recruit scientists from all over the world, Ye Quan lured him with more advanced scientific and technological civilization, and even came up with drugs that could prolong his life, so that outstanding scientists from all over the world could work for him, and build the Institute of Oriental Science into a holy place that leads the development of global scientific and technological progress and civilization.
2017 will also be an extremely important year in human history.
Rare earth nano batteries have allowed Xinhuaguo to take the lead in entering the era of clean new energy.
With the completion of the national charging network system, so that the Chinese people are more and more favored by electric vehicles with good performance, major foreign brands of cars, began to slowly withdraw from the market of Xinhua, more than 85% of the new vehicles sold are domestic electric vehicles,
In this year, through the efforts of Taoyuan Medicine, many terminal illnesses have found cures, and other patients have also seen the dawn of hope.
Taoyuan Group has also used patients' stem cells and newly developed 3D bioprinters to mature the printing of artificial tissues and organs, and Paradise Hospital has successfully performed hundreds of organ transplant surgeries.
3D bioprinters use cells from the patient's own body, so there will be no rejection reaction, but the current technical level machine can only print some cartilage and bone marrow for implantation surgery, and the real human tissues and organs are too complex, so that this technology is not easy to be conquered by humans in a short time.
According to statistics, 18 people die every day worldwide because they cannot find a suitable organ transplant, and even if some of them are lucky enough to find the right organ, they still face ongoing challenges such as rejection.
Taoyuan Group has taken a big step forward in artificial organ technology, benefiting countless patients in need of organ transplantation around the world.
At this time, it is no longer a secret that the Black Dragon Army has mastered the human gene enhancement drug, if it is not for the various restrictions on the object of enhancement, and there are dangers in the process of strengthening, I am afraid that the whole world will go crazy for it.
Even so, there are too many people around the world who want to be an enhancer.
In last year's fighting, the country was given a quota of 100,000 boosters at the cost of withdrawing from Burma.
Subsequently, in order to balance the power, the Black Dragon Army sold another 200,000 boosters to Xinhuaguo.
At the end of the 17th year, the Hualong Kingdom already had 500,000 enhancers, of which more than 300,000 were in the Black Dragon Army, which seemed to be a small number, but compared to other countries, the number of second-order and above enhancers in the Black Dragon Army accounted for more than half.
As the old saying goes, in order to alleviate the pressure, Hualong Kingdom has been selling weakened versions of the "Awakened" gene enhancer to various countries on a small scale since October.
The advantage of this weakened version of the reinforcing agent is that the production cost is lower, and the strengthening process is basically no danger, and the disadvantage is that the strengthening effect is also weakened.
Sales were 300,000 units in the first month, and 50,000 units were added every month thereafter until 2 million units per month.
In the beginning, each booster was sold for more than 1 million dragon coins, and it had to be pre-ordered, and on the black market, it could even be sold for 2 million dragon coins, and those who could afford the genetic booster were naturally rich.
It has also sparked protests among the poor in various countries, with a total global population of more than 7.3 billion, with about 370,000 births per day and an annual growth of about 83 million.
According to the sales volume of 2 million pieces per month, only 24 million pieces of booster are supplied to the world every year, which is still a shortage of demand, and the price is difficult to drop to the point where the poor can accept it.
In this regard, Hualong announced that as long as it is a trained and qualified soldier of the Black Dragon Army, it can be strengthened; In addition, public officials who have reached a certain level and have worked for a certain number of years, scientific researchers who have contributed to the country, and citizens who meet the national standards for high-level talents will also receive free reinforcement.
This has undoubtedly caused a wave of immigration to Hualong Kingdom, and if you are strong or have excellent knowledge and skills, you can choose to immigrate to change your destiny.
The gene enhancers sold by Hualongguo are basically first-class, and only a small number of second-level enhancers are sold in the dark.
Naturally, the internal use of the Black Dragon Army is the "Awakened" authentic enhancer.
At a higher level, there are also genetic evolution agents, which can only be called evolution if they are strengthened in all aspects, including lifespan, which are generally only allocated to the military and political high-level, and the four major groups have also given priority to a batch.
Not to be outdone, Xinhua and Lijian announced breakthroughs in gene-enhancing drugs almost simultaneously.
The genetically enhanced drugs developed by the two countries have a stronger effect than the "Awakened" booster, but the side effects of the strengthening process are also stronger, and basically only strong and determined young soldiers can be strengthened, and there is no effect of large-scale promotion at all.
Either way, these are signs that humanity is about to enter the era of genetic enhancement (to be continued......
