Chapter 179: Nationality
"This is where we're going to work?" Shao Shiming looked at the office area in front of him dumbfounded, he didn't even dream of working in such a place.
Zhou Shuo nodded and said, "There's no need to make a fuss, the office environment of Americans is almost like this." ”
What amazed Shao Shiming was the place where they were going to work. As Zhou Shuo said, it is just an ordinary office configuration in the United States. The three-meter-high lifting frame makes the entire office space look very spacious, and the ceiling of the office area integrates lighting and central air conditioning, which not only has automatic lighting management, but also ensures the most comfortable temperature and humidity.
The use of partitions takes care of the privacy of the public desk, and one person has a full two meters wide usable area. Desks, computers, telephones and even printers. The leather swivel chair with a large backrest looks magnificent. The entire office area is surrounded by evergreen plants, making it feel like you are in a park.
Shao Shiming felt that the high and small computer room used by the development and use of the six-ear IM had already made him feel very comfortable, but compared with the office conditions of the Beichao Computer Company, the level of the municipal party committee guest house and the youth hostel was only at all!
"Well, you can choose your own desk according to your preference. Your job today is to familiarize yourself with the office environment here. Pang Zhou clapped his hands on his stomach, attracted everyone's attention, walked to the window and introduced: "This is the downtown of Seattle, and the hotel where we live is just across the street from each other. For dinner, fresh vegetables, rice, and meat are brought every morning, and we have to choose someone to cook the food every day. ”
"It's the pantry. Tea, coffee, drinks and water can be picked up here. This is the bathroom, and this is the library, which can also be used for resting. Pang Zhou pushed a separate door open. Inside the spacious large room, there is a neat row of fitness equipment. There are also two billiard cases in the middle of the room. There is a large screen TV hanging on the wall.
"Oh, what is this room for?" The programmers rushed in stunned, touching here and there, with a cautious look.
"This is an entertainment and fitness room, and you don't usually pay attention to exercise when you write programs, which is not good for your health for a long time. Occasional fitness can also be better put into work. Pang Zhouha smiled and gave them a demonstration.
Shao Shiming walked around the office area and said with some concern: "Zhou'er." It takes a lot of money to rent here, right? It's not easy for everyone to make money, and this kind of enjoyment is too luxurious. ”
"It's not a luxury, it's a necessary investment." Zhou Shuo waved his hand and said, "Americans, like Chinese, are also very pompous. The people we want to cooperate with in the future are all large companies, and if you don't make it magnificent, people won't even look at you. ”
"But ......" Shao Shiming obviously wanted to stop talking, it was easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it was difficult to go from luxury to frugality, if he had an appetite in the United States. The business is losing money. With such a toss, this team is about to disperse.
"No, but, the six-eared IM will definitely succeed, so you can put your heart in your stomach." Zhou Shuo interrupted him. Shao Shiming also understands what he means, and it is normal to leave a way out of things. However, for him, Liuer IM is a very important step in the development of the whole Pan Han Group. He could not accept defeat.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Shao Shiming said reluctantly.
"Master. What is the environment like here, are you still satisfied? Pang Zhou ran over sweating profusely. Teaching those programmers how to use all kinds of entertainment facilities is a lot of physical work. In particular, a lot of fitness equipment has to be demonstrated by him, otherwise ordinary people really don't know how to get started.
"Yes, you've worked hard. In the past six months, the North Korean Computer Company has been able to achieve such development, and you have made great contributions. Zhou Shuo sighed and patted him on the shoulder, he still remembered the first time he met Pang Zhou and chased him out of the securities trading floor, just to persuade himself not to buy stocks. At that time, he was still a little young and shy, but now he seems to have the momentum of a superior and the shrewdness and ability of an elite in the workplace.
"Where, I'm just doing what Master tells me." Pang Zhou was praised by Zhou Shuo twice, and finally couldn't hold back his expression and showed a proud smile.
"By the way, what about Yu Qiong?" Zhou Shuo glanced around and asked puzzled.
Pang Zhou replied: "Oh, Sister Yu is downstairs, do you want me to call her up?" There must always be someone in charge of the North Korea, and those Yankees have no one to suppress them, so they have to herd sheep. ”
Zhou Shuo shook his head and said, "No need, let's go down and find her." ”
"Okay, just let the master see the current level of development of the Northern Dynasty Company!" When Pang Zhou heard this, he said triumphantly.
The two of them went downstairs, and the office of Liu'er IM was upstairs in the North Dynasty Computer Technology Co., Ltd. Today's Northern Dynasty is no longer what it was at the beginning, Zhou Shuo and Pang Zhou took the elevator down, and they were greeted by a wide front desk and two blonde beauties.
The water meter logo and the company name of Northern Dynasties occupy an entire wall, and the light from two spotlights shines down from the ceiling, setting off the entire signage with extraordinary momentum.
Staff members of different skin tones hurriedly passed by the door, and even when they saw Pang Zhou, they just nodded.
Pang Zhou smiled a little unnaturally: "I usually have less time here, and they don't recognize me very much." Many people were recruited later, and they don't know you, Master, so don't mind. ”
"Am I like that in your eyes?" Zhou Shuo rolled his eyes and said helplessly.
The two of them walked through the open office area, and the general manager's office of the Beichao company was set up in a glass compartment at the end. In the large office of nearly 150 square meters, a large boss desk is placed in the middle. Yu Qiong was wearing a women's suit from the nineties, her hair was slightly wavy, her face was thinly powdered, and she was engrossed in tapping on the keyboard.
Pang Zhou knocked on the door, which was equivalent to Qiong shouting in, and then pushed the door open and walked in.
"Sister Yu, my master is here." Pang Zhou said as he pulled down the shutters of the glass compartment to isolate the view from the outside.
"Principal Zhou, you're here." Yu Qiong picked up a pencil from the table and skillfully pulled her hair back behind her head. Although he only changed his hairstyle, in just a moment, Zhou Shuo felt that the woman who was in the Xiucheng Science and Technology Commission last year was back.
"Director Yu asked me to forward a letter to you. It's also my fault that I put the letter in the salute yesterday, and I had to clean it up before I could take it out. Usually call home more, Director Yu misses you. Zhou Shuo said, took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Yuqiong.
Yu Qiong silently put away the letter, obviously not preparing to read it here. Turned around and took out a document from the desk, handed it to Zhou Shuo and said, "President Zhou, this is the income and expenditure of the Northern Dynasty Company in the first quarter of this year, do you see if there is any problem." ”
Zhou Shuo didn't take this document, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, you and I can be trusted, just look at it when you have time." ”
He hesitated for a moment, then said: "I have a few things to do when I come to the United States this time. There's one thing I'd like to ask both of you for. ”
"You say." Yu Qiong lifted her glasses, and her expression became serious. Although Pang Zhou didn't make a sound, he also sat up straight.
Zhou Shuo sighed and said, "I'm going to set up a sixears company, that is, a sixears company, to take the eyes and ears and listen to the meaning of the eight directions." The operation of this company will be more complicated, and in order to avoid risks, I hope to be able to hand it over to a real American. But if you find a random agent from the outside, to be honest, I don't feel at ease. ”
"Who do you want the two of us to take control of this company?" Yu Qiong and Pang Zhou glanced at each other, turned their heads and asked.
"Both of you are people I can trust." Zhou Shuo didn't have a decision in his heart, after all, American nationality is easy to obtain, but it is almost impossible to change back to Chinese nationality.
"I ......" Pang Zhou thought for a while, and said with some embarrassment: "Master, you know that my father's position in Fengtian City is very important now, and if I change my nationality, I'm afraid he will be affected if he wants to progress." ”
"Then I." Yu Qiong said simply: "I studied in the United States, and my father is only a director of the Science and Technology Commission, so I am afraid that I will not be much of an official in this life." ”
Zhou Shuo closed his eyes, nodded heavily, and said, "I just wronged you." ”
Yu Qiong tugged at the corners of her mouth slightly, showed a satisfied smile, shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I can help Principal Zhou, I'm not wronged." ”
Zhou Shuo is not a mother-in-law's person, so he immediately nodded and said, "Then from today on, the affairs of Liu'er Company will be handed over to you." There are not many things in the Northern Dynasty, can you take care of them? ”
"I can help Sister Yu a lot, anyway, I don't usually have much to do here." Pang Zhou's excuse was compared with Yu Qiong's, and he was also a little guilty, so he immediately took the initiative to stand up and say.
"Then you will take care of the affairs of the Northern Dynasty." Zhou Shuo agreed: "The Liuer Company is on the road here, I'm afraid it will be busy." Yu Qiong can reduce the burden and improve efficiency. ”
Zhou Shuo didn't have any opinions on Pang Zhou, Pang Father had just added strength to himself in the software park project, and he turned his son into a foreigner, which really didn't sound like it. As for Yu Shunshui's side, as long as he is still in Xiucheng, he can always exert his strength.
Zhou Shuo touched his chin, looked at Yu Qiong and said, "The first thing to do next, help me ask Mr. James from Microsoft out first, and see if I can open a breakthrough from him." (To be continued......)
