Chapter 299 Bills shock
Time enters March 7, 2002.
The United States began air strikes on Taliban and Al Qaeda targets in Afghanistan in retaliation for the Al Qaeda organization, which was sheltered by the Taliban at the time.
And asked them to hand over bin Laden, the mastermind of the 9/11 incident.
After the Taliban learned about it, they directly rejected their request, but said they could take responsibility for the 911 incident.
This almost monkey-like behavior completely angered the Pentagon.
The coalition forces composed of the United States and Britain soon entered Afghanistan and made contact with the local Northern Alliance.
The two sides later reached an agreement and planned to cooperate to overthrow the Taliban authority and conduct air strikes that night to attack multiple Taliban and al-Qaeda strongholds.
The United States used different types of weapons in the first round of air strikes.
At the same time, they also dropped a large amount of relief supplies during air strikes. According to them, "This is to provide relief to civilians injured in air strikes."
Three consecutive days of bombing.
Al Qaeda suffered a major blow and its power in the northern region began to disintegrate.
March 10th, evening.
Core members of the Taliban fled Kabul under cover of darkness.
However, satellite photo intelligence from the United States shows that the remnants of Al Qaeda are present in the 2,740-meter-high mountain range to the west of Mount Godhra.
The Special Forces Forces (SOF) called the area the "Remington Barrier".
then.
Operation Anaconda officially launched...
at the same time.
Bill Gates and Infinity Company executives conducted several rounds of negotiations, but even though he became very impatient, no substantial progress was made.
Both sides insist on their own opinions. Infinity Company insists on the bottom line of the source code and refuses to give in. But Bill is determined to get the source code.
He couldn't tolerate anyone sharing this market with him.
However, he is also very aware of his own advantages, so he has no worries that the other party will refuse to cooperate with him.
But until now, he still doesn't know what the other party really wants.
During this time.
Director Zhang was also very concerned about this matter and called many times to inquire about the progress of Lin Zeju's negotiations.
After all, this is Bill Gates. Even though he has been squeezed out of his position as the richest man in the world, he is still a very important rich man in the United States.
He said that he would try not to embarrass others too much.
Lin Zeju disagreed. Business negotiations, of course, put interests first. There would be no human relations. Otherwise, wouldn't it become a project bidding?
In his spare time, he would also take Bill around.
However, after seeing the Infinity Company headquarters and a large area of land, Bill was surprised, very surprised!
Such a large amount of land is owned by Infinity Company.
Moreover, people on the other side complained that the number of researchers in the company had increased from 300 at the beginning to more than 3,000 now.
There are also tens of thousands of technicians and production workers, which has far exceeded the original design capacity. They are ready to expand the company's footprint again!
Everything he saw and heard simply refreshed Bill's inherent impression of China!
Such a large research institution that integrates research, development, and business is rare even in Europe and the United States!
Not to mention the beautiful environment of Infinity Company, just the advanced experimental instruments and equipment he observed made him unable to believe his eyes.
Isn’t it said that a technology embargo has been imposed on China?
Why are the instruments here no worse than those in large research institutes in the United States?
There are also a few instruments and equipment that he has never seen in European and American laboratories!
With so many advanced equipment, so many scientific researchers, and the research strength of an infinite company, how terrifying it would be!
He couldn't help but ventured to ask Lin Zeju, and then he learned that these instruments were the products of Infinite Precision Instrument Manufacturing Company, a subsidiary of Infinite Company, one of its research departments.
They use first-class equipment themselves and supply small quantities to national laboratories. Second-rate products are sold domestically. They are also preparing to further explore the international market and sell their instruments and equipment to other countries.
The initial target is those third world countries.
Lin Zeju even took him to a machinery factory outside the company for an on-site visit.
It is said that this company often does OEM work for Infinite Company and is considered one of the companies with close cooperation.
The company has grown from a small workshop to more than 50 machines now.
The boss is a simple and honest middle-aged man.
When he heard that Bill Gates was coming to visit his factory, he was completely confused. If Lin Zeju's assistant hadn't personally informed him, he would have definitely thought that someone was talking nonsense!
Immediately afterwards, the news leaked out for no apparent reason.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the workers who were supposed to get off work refused to leave. They stood next to the machine one by one, pretending to be wiping the machine tool again and again with a cleaning cloth.
Damn I didn’t know how hardworking I thought I was!
Since Infinite Company launched a series of cooperation agreements, some companies that work closely with them have completely adopted new working systems.
All employees have changed to an eight-hour work system and three shifts, and their salary levels have more than tripled on the original basis.
These increased wages are specifically subsidized by Infinity Company.
The purpose is to cultivate more practical technical talents.
The company will regularly send people to provide some technical training to workers.
When it was first implemented, many workers were extremely uncomfortable with it, and some even felt that they were not worthy of such a high salary.
They used to work twelve hours a day and were used to it.
So much so that I don’t know what to do when I get off work so early.
But the factory boss still resolutely implemented the new system.
He had to abide by the fact that investigators from Infinite Company often came to hang out, and if they were found to have violated the rules, their cooperation qualifications would be permanently revoked.
Moreover, Infinite Company has said that they only give workers the value they deserve.
This made the factory owner feel moved but also in awe.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He is worthy of being the light of the nation and a representative of foreign-funded enterprises.
Many times, it's not that their factories don't want to raise wages for workers, but that their profit margins are limited and they have too many crooks to deal with, otherwise they would have to inspect them every day.
Now, helping Infinite Company to process products, although the requirements are very high, the profits from their orders are also extremely generous.
Everyone in the industry knows it.
They never default on payment, they always pay and deliver the goods.
They will even take the initiative to provide technical and equipment support.
The factory has developed so far that they have almost no external processing. They can make a living just by taking orders from Infinite Company!
When Lin Zeju and Bill walked in, the factory owner immediately greeted them excitedly, and behind them stood a group of skilled workers in blue uniforms.
Bill looked them over for a moment.
Finding that they were generally relatively young, probably only around twenty years old, he couldn't help but sigh that in the United States, many young people of this age were still listening to lectures from professors in universities.
And they have become excellent technical workers.
Many of them had their hands and feet shaking with excitement when they saw him.
That kind of "fanatical" look in his eyes like seeing a star.
This not-so-smooth trip to China helped him regain a lot of confidence.
After all, his legendary entrepreneurial history has long been exposed by countless media, and his books on success are available in major bookstores.
It is normal to meet a few of his admirers in China.
However, when he saw the small boss of the factory pointing at a five-axis linkage machining center, he said that this machine was just a second-rate equipment.
Bill felt dizzy at the time!
These instruments and equipment are used in many small laboratories in the United States, but they are scornfully regarded as second-rate goods by this factory owner who only has a junior high school education!
In this way, the equipment used by Infinite Company must be the world's top precision instruments!
