Chapter 47: Transhumanism Inc
After deciding to join the company "Transhumanism", Tao Enhai did not hesitate. He quickly followed the contact information on the business card to find Xiang Shan and signed an agreement with the company's legal counsel. At the same time, he also settled the matter with the hospital at the same time.
This series of things took less than two days. This is mainly because he has been recuperating from his injuries for several months, and most of the patients he was responsible for have been discharged.
The hospital seems to be happy to facilitate this. As a result, his hand is indeed unable to continue the operation. As a director outside the gods, his worth is undoubtedly discounted. Secondly...... It's a Foigt, after all!
If nothing else, as long as it is preached that "the doctors of our hospital have gone to Mr. Foigt for further study", this is a golden sign.
However, after doing all this, he once again went to an office building on the outskirts of Beiping. "Transhumanism" [hereinafter referred to as "Superman" or "Superman Enterprise"] does have a business unit in the West Third Ring Road. There are clerks everywhere, and all the miscellaneous departments such as finance, legal affairs, and human resources are still there.
By the way, that titular "headquarters" is indeed unpopular, and there are very few people. When signing the agreement, Tao Enhai went there once, and remembered that it was very empty, the office environment was good, and the benefits were okay. At first, he muttered about how the administrative department of a company has only such a small number of people, and then people told him that the company's business is highly automated, and the system is written by the chairman himself.
After going back, Tao Enhai also checked the chairman's path by himself, and found that his so-called "let's be a scientist" was by no means a lie. The chairman was born in Tsinghua University in Beiping, and his mentor is said to be a well-known figure in that field. Before this old Dong graduated, he was already behind and led a laboratory.
Strange to say, though. He helped his mentor manage a laboratory at the Tsinghua Basic Industry Training Center, and it didn't take long for the records to show that the management of the lab had changed again. The chairman didn't know when he left.
According to the records, his mentor also handed over the project at hand. Xiang Shan's mentor disappeared for two or three years, and came back to continue to manage the past projects.
And this chairman is different. His next resume is that of "Director of the Institute for Integrated Civilization Studies of the United Nations University".
The "Institute for Comprehensive Civilizations" under the United Nations has very little information, and it does not seem to produce any papers on the surface, as if it is an organization with mixed funds.
However, after a little understanding, everyone will be in awe of this organization.
It was during his tenure at this institution that Yogmov Foigt achieved his most important achievement, the cracking of the enzyme system.
Although the news on the surface of the news, the reason for the "cracking of the enzyme system" is attributed to the "analysis of the organic matter in hydrothermal organisms in the submarine crater".
But there is no shortage of speculation on the Internet that this "Comprehensive Institute of Civilizations" is studying aliens. And a large number of scientists who have made achievements in it have relied on the technology to crack alien civilizations.
In short, there are many opinions on the Internet.
But one thing is clear to Tao Enhai.
Aliens do exist.
A few years ago, various countries confirmed this news. In order to avoid social unrest, almost all countries have made great strides in terms of culture. Even in those years, various countries have triggered a "science fiction fever". Whether classic or sparse, all kinds of extraterrestrial-related movies have been dragged out and remade again and again. All sorts of science fiction were pulled out and printed in edition after edition.
Humanity has finally managed to digest the news without causing a huge social upheaval.
"The chairman may have studied alien ......" Tao Enhai thought confusedly: "A hardware engineer...... Hacking alien computer systems? ”
In the movie, there are often scenes of "human hackers hacking into alien computers". Tao Enhai has always felt that this plot is very anti-intellectual. If a civilization can really cross the sea of stars, then its computers should be incomprehensible to human beings.
From this point of view, being able to be selected to participate in alien research in the first place shows that this chairman is extraordinary.
Thinking of this, Tao Enhai was indeed a little more in awe of the chairman.
It would be nice if he could talk openly and honestly about the treatment......
When he went to the outskirts of the city to see Xiang Shan, he thought so.
By the time he came out of the subway station, the sun was already setting in the west. This is a newly built complex. Some of the labs with corporate backgrounds are located here.
There are also mobile office buildings.
Tao Enhai walked in briskly. This office building is rented by a transhumanist corporation. That's the point of Superman Enterprise. Although there is also a desk for Chairman Xiang on the West Third Ring Road, the chairman obviously prefers this side. Even the technical department is placed here, and the "headquarters" of the West Third Ring Road has only two technicians who can repair computers.
Tao Enhai walked to Xiang Shan's office. The door opened automatically.
Xiang Shan stood at his desk, as if sorting through paper papers. When he heard the movement, he turned his head to see that it was Tao Enhai, and asked a little strangely, "Doctor Tao, why are you here?" ”
"Huh?" Tao Enhai said: "I received the company's identity card at noon. ”
"It shouldn't be 'noon.'" Xiang Shan was a little strange: "Judging from the system records, you finished the file at half past two." ”
Tao Enhai nodded: "Yes, that's right." ”
"You can't seem to drive now...... Sorry, I didn't mean that. "Wave your hand to the mountain.
Tao Enhai nodded: "I understand." You have no malicious intent. ”
"You're coming by public transport. But whether it's a bus or a subway, the West Third Ring Road is a long way to get here. Xiang Shan asked.
Tao Enhai nodded, talking nonsense in his heart, if the road is not long, I will still come to this point?
Xiang Shan said: "Conservative estimate, you should be 4:40 here?" What does the five-point difference look like? ”
Tao Enhai nodded again.
"That's all off work." Xiang Shan pointed to the bell behind Tao Enhai: "It's time to get off work." ”
Tao Enhai was stunned, turned his head in confusion, and then turned back and looked at Xiang Shan: "What did you say?" ”
"It's off. We strictly work from 9 to 5. Xiang Shan said, "There is a two-hour lunch break at noon. Technically a six-hour workday? ”
Tao Enhai was once again in chaos.
Xiang Shan pointed to himself: "I'm going to get off work too." He spread out his hands: "I thought you would go home and rest by yourself after you got your ID card." That's why I didn't arrange a special car for you - if I had known you wanted to come, I should have asked the people from the West Third Ring Road to prepare it for you. ”
The corners of Tao Enhai's mouth trembled, and he didn't know what to say.
It's weird. Really, it's weird.
He had never heard of such a company.
Nine in the morning and five in the evening? A two-hour lunch break in between? Don't work overtime?
How can there be a research institute that does not work overtime?
Every tutor will try to let students learn in the laboratory as much as possible!
This...... This......
He remembered that his wife had told him to report to the chairman after he had handed over the file. The wife also said that she was also the person who was personally dug up by the chairman, and she had to learn to show goodwill......
After the delivery, when he found that the people in the West Third Ring Road did not prepare a commercial car, he also felt that he might have been left out in the cold......
Who would have thought that this neuropathic company would leave work so early?
"You may not know my company's culture." Xiang Shan said: "My comrades and I are both people who hate struggle......"
But......
Tao Enhai plucked up his courage and asked, "We're also a research institution, aren't we...... What if inspiration strikes......"
"Ah, this." Xiang Shan said: "This is easy to say, I really have an explosion of inspiration, and I can apply for overtime." However, there is a cap on the amount of overtime per month, and you must receive double compensatory time off in the future. Before applying for overtime, everyone must weigh whether their own 'inspiration' is really worth taking up valuable overtime quota. ”
"Ah......" Tao Enhai opened his mouth: "No...... This ......"
It took him a long time before he asked, "Is this a company?" ”
Xiang Shan nodded: "Indeed." ”
"So can we really make money like this?"
"Why not?" Xiang Shan asked rhetorically: "As long as the research institute is still operating, there will be a steady stream of money flowing here." Why can't you make money? ”
"However, other companies often work overtime......
"Ah, that's because their management department is too wasteful, and it's spreading work that can't be done in eight hours to employees, which reduces the efficiency of the company." Xiang Shan said expressionlessly: "Please believe in the power of science. The company's management system is also built by me, which is very scientific and reasonable. ”
Tao Enhai even felt that his tone was a little sarcastic.
After a few minutes, Tao Enhai said, "This ...... It's true that I'm too shallow......"
- What the hell am I frustrated......
Tao Enhai was unhappy with his performance. He thinks that he may be showing off in front of this boss?
However, who would have expected this company...... No, is it "our company" so neurotic?
"Doctor Tao, you have to change your mind." Xiang Shan thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know why a master's degree is called a master?" ”
"Why ......," Tao Enhai asked.
"In the artisan guilds of Western Europe, the apprentice was physically attached to the instructor. The apprentice will become a skilled craftsman as a 'master'. It's a very foul-smelling feudal remnant wow! Xiang Shan waved his hand: "All the academic circles you saw in the past are all feudal poison!" We need to change – yikes! These guys don't even wait for me! ”
This last turn really scared Tao Enhai.
Xiang Shan grabbed Tao Enhai and said, "If you don't go home for dinner at night, let's come together." The chairman personally takes you to experience the company culture. But ......"
Xiang Shan smiled: "We have to take the subway." The cattle filled the company's cart. ”
