The tone of this letter was quite grand. He believed that Zhao Yi was qualified to join their organization based on his achievements, so he sent an invitation letter to invite him to join their organization. It seemed that this was a gift to him.
There is nothing wrong with this. Everyone has reason to be proud of his own organization. Otherwise, there is no need to join such an organization, so he is not annoyed by such a loud tone.
But later, even if they completely angered him, they said that they already knew his layout very well. In order to show that this was not a blow-up, they also cited many examples, such as the companies he controlled.
It can be seen from here that this organization is not a simple thing, because there are not many people and institutions who fully know the companies under it, and ordinary people are not accessible to it.
However, the companies they listed include almost all his companies in the country, which shows that there are members of theirs in the country, and their identities may not be simple. Of course, they do not rule out being lured by money.
These actually have nothing to do with it. Anyway, he knew a long time ago that such a day might come, so he was not at a loss because of it.
It was just the threatening words that made him a little angry. He probably felt that Zhao Yi would not necessarily ignore them, so he also added threatening words later. If he did not join them, they would be ready to destroy the layout he had worked hard for so many years.
Regardless of whether they have the ability or not, this sentence completely annoyed him. He has never heard anyone dare to say this to him. This is because someone ignores his ability.
This organization is known as "Freemasonry", one of the top ten mysterious organizations in the world. It is a community alliance composed of a group of capitalists. It includes not only capitalists, but also leaders from all walks of life.
This organization also has a very long history. It was founded in England in 1717, almost 300 years ago. The number of members worldwide is estimated to be as high as 6 million.
To be honest, he was actually a little indifferent to these mysterious organizations, but he had to admit that due to their secrecy, long history, and intricate relationships, they must be very powerful.
And after so many years of development, their influence has spread almost all over the world. Almost every important country has their members, including our country.
It's just that he has never had any trouble with these organizations before. As long as they don't provoke them, he doesn't bother to pay attention. After all, he is not full of food and has nothing to do to find trouble for himself.
Obviously, things came to their doorstep this time. As for their claim that they could destroy their own layout, there was both exaggeration and some truth in it.
The first is their influence abroad. They think they can have an impact on his overseas layout. For example, the export trade of his companies may be hit to a certain extent.
Another example is to expose his businesses globally and let him "die in the light". At least they think this is an important bargaining chip for them, otherwise they would not focus on it. It seems that he, like them, is a group of shady maggots.
This time they took the initiative to contact him. I don’t know whether it was because of his financial influence or the mysterious power in his hands. Anyway, they must have taken a fancy to the resources he has. Otherwise, they would have to be recommended by others if they wanted to join. .
However, he has never been threatened by others. If it is just a polite invitation, he will not take it seriously. After all, you are willing to do it, and I am not willing, so don't force it.
And this threatening words completely made him want to get rid of this organization. For him, no matter how many people the organization has, it is actually vulnerable. It just depends on whether he has made this determination.
Fortunately, among the secrets they listed about him, there was no Sunflower Investment Company, because the employees of Sunflower Investment Company were basically not elites before recruitment.
Even Peter can only be at the middle level. Such a talent cannot attract their attention, and it is difficult to join their organization. After all, their threshold is set there.
As for why the domestic industry was leaked, he was too lazy to pursue it, but he still planned to talk to the old man about it. After all, he was very grateful to the old man for his support over the years, and he still had to say hello. of.
Could it be leaked by a senior employee of his company? This possibility also exists, so he also needs to sort out his industries and find all the people with problems.
Throwing the letter aside, he directly convened a meeting at the president level of his subsidiary companies. All presidents must be present no matter how busy they are.
At the meeting, he did not hide anything and directly mentioned that senior employees of his companies might have leaked secrets, but he did not say what the specific secrets were.
Then he decided to send prosecutors to inspect all middle-level managers and above as well as highly educated R&D personnel. At that time, the presidents of each company would have to cooperate.
As for these presidents, he still trusted them. When they were recruited, the investigation on them had been very clear, otherwise he would not have let them serve as presidents of a giant company.
This matter was carried out in secret, and it was impossible to make the whole city a storm. The inspectors, in their personnel capacity, were constantly in contact with key personnel of the company and highly educated personnel, especially those with experience of going abroad.
Now he has a large number of high-end robots in his hands. They are no longer slowly assembled in his laboratory, but are produced and assembled in the Chongqing Robot Factory.
These are additional production capacities that can be used to produce ordinary robots, so there is no shortage of high-end robots. More than 500,000 units have been deployed around the world through different channels.
Therefore, the number of inspectors dispatched was quite large. It only took 10 days to complete the inspection, but no major problems were found inside.
The reason for this is that his companies are relatively cautious about returning overseas personnel and basically do not assign important tasks. Moreover, the country had just started reform and opening up, and the country was still very poor at that time.
If there is no love for the country, most people will not return to the country. As for the country itself, after so many years of turmoil and various reasons, it is basically gone.
So he checked his companies and found no problems. He quite believed in the results, so the problem should not have happened in his companies.
He gave the central leadership a record of the investigation of his subordinates. As for whether they would conduct the investigation themselves, he had no control over it, but the facts must be made clear. At least there were no problems under his own subordinates.
While he was conducting an internal inventory, the high-end robots located around the world were not idle either. They began to sort out the members of the Freemasonry, trying to find all the members in a short time.
Maybe the secret organization they think of themselves has almost no effect on high-end robots, because the most powerful thing about high-end robots is that besides disguising themselves, they can detect the secrets in their minds.
No matter what organization it is, as long as there is a clue, everyone can be found. It is precisely because of this that he is not afraid of any secret organization at all.
This was something he hadn't paid much attention to before, but this time it completely annoyed him, making him decide that he couldn't wait any longer and had to nip the danger in the bud.
Although this time he is mainly investigating the Freemasonry, all other secret organizations are within the scope of his investigation, and he will even put people in. He can no longer feel that it has nothing to do with him like before.
When one's own strength seriously affects the survival space of others, no matter whether he has this idea or not, things will come to him, and no organization will sit still and wait for death.
It was actually foreseeable that he would receive such a threatening letter this time. The main reason was the robot. Owning a robot meant having the power to dominate the economy.
If we really want to adopt a fierce competition approach, then any country will be nothing but scum in the face of an economic entity composed of robots, unable to struggle at all.
By then, the existing international trade order will completely collapse, and it will not be easy to re-establish a trade system. Obviously, this will seriously harm the interests of Freemasonry.
Coupled with this global economic crisis, the global economic situation has been very bad, and all countries have suffered huge losses. As a capitalist organization, the Freemasons have naturally suffered heavy losses.
On the other hand, in our country, although the economy has been affected to a certain extent due to the deterioration of the international economic environment and trade, the domestic economy is booming, and it is even stronger because of the large-scale use of robots.
They invited him to join their organization at this time, and they didn't mean to take advantage of him. After all, his companies are among the best in terms of economic strength and technological strength.
And if he joins, it can also allow their power to penetrate into the country. Since they cannot penetrate their power into the country through their own capital, they naturally want to rely on the Leading Party.
This is why he has been silently targeting foreign capital entering the country for so many years, basically causing them to lose their wives and troops in the country, and most of them ended in disastrous results.
This is also the reason why their capital cannot penetrate. Relying on huge capital, advanced technology, local combat advantages, and a huge group of economic entities, they simply cannot compete.
He threw the letter aside and ignored it, but it only asked his companies to be more vigilant, try not to send senior employees abroad, and try to arrange for foreign employees to complete the work that can be done by foreign employees.
This is to prevent them from being disrespectful of martial arts. Although he is not afraid, he should try to avoid it if he can. If he really wants to target his overseas industry, he has no choice but to do it head-on.
Instead, he hoped that the other party would make some movement, because as long as there was movement, it would be equivalent to having the source of the investigation, and it would be possible to follow the clues. Otherwise, if they remained silent, it would make it impossible for him to start his investigation.
Time quietly came to January 1991, and the annual reports of various companies under his company were also submitted one after another. During this period, he basically only read these reports at home.
Zhou Jinyu and Lin Hexia also knew that the situation was special recently, and they didn't run around. They basically stayed at home. Zhou Jinyu was busy making his new album.
The creative part is basically completed, and now it has begun to enter the recording stage, which is not too difficult for him. In half a month, he will probably meet the fans.
Lin Hexia was also managing the Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings Company remotely during this period. Now that the new year has begun, she is also reading the company's annual report. These are things that must be done every year.
However, the part of playing games every night has not been cancelled. Their civilization in the game "Looking at the Stars - The Origin of Civilization" has developed to the Iron Age.
With the continuous development and growth of his own tribe in the early stage, after Fuluo started to spread his branches, he finally encountered a strange tribe. Fortunately, it was not another monster tribe, which was acceptable.
However, collisions between civilizations are inevitable. They have experienced many wars, large and small, and some have surrendered directly and then become part of their own ethnic group.
Some of them have a certain cultural background before, which is difficult to regain. They can only be used according to normal operations and cannot be used by me. There is no big meaning in keeping them.
The most important thing is that they entered the Iron Age first and started a farming civilization in advance. They no longer had much interest in exploiting labor force, but paid more attention to internal instability factors.
Therefore, those who can be absorbed by them are relatively innocent tribes. If they are taught in a civilized way, they can integrate with their own civilization, otherwise they are not needed.
In order for players to more intuitively feel where the civilization they run ranks in the entire server, he asked the intermediate artificial intelligence to launch a civilization index ranking list.
Numerical statistics are made from aspects such as economic prosperity, force value, civilization development, population, effective ruled area, internal stability, scientific and technological development level, prosperity, etc.
Not surprisingly, the civilization they run ranks first in all indicators, and is naturally the civilization run by the largest player in the entire server.
With this civilization index ranking, players are more motivated, and they also know where they are lacking, so they can make up for it in a targeted manner.
The civilization run by the three of them can develop into the first player civilization only if they don't have much time to play this game, otherwise the civilization will be more developed.
This game was developed by Zhao Yi, who actually has a very clear understanding of the game's mechanics. Coupled with his rich knowledge and high standing, it is very conducive to the development of civilization.
But that’s okay. If they have reached the end of this version in less than a year and have to start the next version, other players will probably be desperate.
They are already in the Iron Age, and the social system is gradually turning to a feudal system. However, the civilization of many other players is still stuck in the primitive period and struggling.
Even a civilization run by intermediate artificial intelligence has just entered the Bronze Age. After all, it mainly teaches others how to play and cannot be too far ahead of the big army.
After reading all the reports at home, generally speaking, although the domestic economy last year was not as booming as in previous years, it was still okay overall.
According to statistics from Shangtong Trading Company, the domestic economy reached 35 trillion yuan last year. Although it is slightly lower than the official growth rate, the difference is not very big.
The official estimates were made without a global financial crisis. However, my country's export scale dropped directly to 4 trillion yuan last year, and the export trade data in the second half of the year was even worse.
He has no good solution for this. He can only wait until the international market slowly recovers. However, the domestic consumption situation is very good, with a lot of growth compared with last year.
Compared with material consumption in previous years, the scale of service consumption last year was much higher. Mainly the tourism and leisure service industries have achieved considerable development, and the sports service industry has also experienced good growth.
Analysts believe that this is mainly due to the fact that after the implementation of the robot replacement plan last year, the consumption enthusiasm of retired workers was higher than before, which led to the overall improvement of the domestic consumer market.
In addition, infrastructure and robots are the main growth drivers, and other industries have also developed to varying degrees. However, even so, the economy last year had the slowest growth rate compared with the previous year.
However, because the total amount is very large, the absolute growth value is still exaggerated. This is because when the economy becomes large, every percentage point of growth cannot be compared with that of small economies.
The only thing that makes him more gratified is that due to the deterioration of the global economic environment, international raw material prices have fallen sharply. As the largest buyer of international raw materials, our country has saved a lot of costs.
Therefore, even if the export business has been greatly affected, the import data has also declined in different ways. Although the data is ugly, the lives of domestic people have basically not been affected in any way.
And because our country is the only major economy in the world that has achieved economic growth, other countries have to establish good relations with our country in order to get rid of the domestic economic decline as soon as possible to increase the export of their own goods.
However, it is still very difficult to export goods to foreign countries. Because our country’s economy is so huge, almost all goods can be produced by ourselves.
In the past, rising labor costs caused many low-profit industries to resort to import substitution, which gave many countries many export opportunities.
This year, my country's robot production will reach an annual output of about 100 million units. In addition to replacing necessary industry positions, many previously low-end industries may also be picked up and strengthened.
Moreover, as the peak period of urbanization in my country gradually comes to an end in the next two to three years, the domestic demand for ore raw materials related to construction will gradually decrease, and then slowly transform into a stock stage.
Last year, my country's iron ore consumption reached 1.5 billion tons, setting a new record. This year, due to the large number of robots participating in the construction industry, the development of the construction industry will further improve.
Therefore, the consumption price of iron ore in our country may reach as high as 2 billion tons this year, and may maintain this figure for one to two years, and then gradually decrease.
Due to the impact of the international economic environment, Shangtong Trading Company has given an expected economic growth value of 40 trillion yuan this year, with an annual growth rate of 14%.
The main driving force for economic growth still comes from the country. Two areas have received great attention. One is the consumption area, which was well affected by last year's data. They are relatively optimistic about this.
The other is that robot replacement work is in full swing, which will lead to the full release of robot-related industries, which will be the main source of power for my country's economic growth.
This includes both the robot industry chain and the economic development of various industries involved in robots. Moreover, this year has only just begun. This field will be the main growth driver of our country's economy for a long time to come.
The growth in the consumption field is accompanied by the premise that people have more free time and sufficient wallets, and these two prerequisites will not be a big problem in our country for a long time to come.
With the gradual implementation and expansion of the robot replacement plan, domestic people have a lot of free time, and naturally have enough time to consume, instead of working non-stop at three o'clock and one line every day.
Coupled with the current off-duty compensation system, they will not worry about not getting paid tomorrow, so they are naturally willing to spend the money they have, and the possibility of saving it is very low.
Because they have no reason to save, the domestic welfare system is very complete, and there is basically no need for people to spend extra money or prepare additional funds for these.
In addition, domestic investment channels are very limited. Except for the small stock market, there are basically not many investment channels for money to improve life. Even houses are not currently open for purchase.
However, people who come from rural areas still have homestead land at home. If they are willing to spend money to build a house at home, it is not impossible. The state does not prohibit this.
In fact, with the current economic scale, he no longer pursues rapid economic growth. It is not a good thing if the economy is running wildly. Sometimes, it is not a bad thing if the economy slows down and settles down.
After so many years of rapid development in our country, it is not without its problems. It is just that he has suppressed them all, and the feeling is not so obvious. If he left it, the situation would be very different.
The most typical thing is that in his opinion, innovation is still not enough. Apart from using the foundation he left behind, there is not much breakthrough innovation overall.
At the same time, due to the rapid economic development of our country's people, their salaries have also increased rapidly. However, in this process, some ideological problems have also emerged.
It needs to settle down and change from the pursuit of economic and income growth to a more pursuit of ideals. This is an important part in determining the healthy development of our society in the future.
His media and public opinion resources have begun to gradually shift from the theory of economic growth to the pursuit of ideals, in order to try to guide the people in the country not to be economic-only, but money-only.
Moreover, it is actually impossible to increase the scale of the economy indefinitely, because human needs are always limited. In fact, most of the economic growth in the previous life was illusory and was nothing more than growth in the financial sense.
What he hopes is that the economy will be stable in the future, and then he will continue to accumulate strength, wait for the next major technological breakthrough, and then begin to usher in a new era.
However, our country's population will continue to grow rapidly in the future, which is not only affected by the potential energy accumulated in the past, but also caused by the increase in our country's average life expectancy.
According to data from China Medical Corporation, the average life expectancy in my country was 80 years old last year, and the expected value in the future is more than 100 years old, with the ultimate life span being about 120 years old.
Due to the improvement of living conditions and the advancement of medical technology, people under 100 years old can still move freely. However, if they are over 100 years old, their physical health cannot guarantee freedom of movement even through medical technology.
In other words, the possibility of accidents for people over 100 years old is greatly increased, so they can only ensure that those under 100 years old can receive timely assistance based on their own medical capabilities.
Therefore, as the domestic population grows, even if the per capita growth rate is slow, the overall economic growth is still very impressive. Therefore, there is actually no need to worry about the growth of the total economic volume.
Besides, he feels that unlimited expansion of personal consumption desires is actually not a good thing, especially when the stage of space resource collection has not yet been reached, and the earth's carrying capacity is limited.
Therefore, he believes that as long as people live without worries about food and clothing and their living conditions are not bad, many other consumptions can actually be regarded as useless consumption.
The reason why we were so desperate to achieve rapid economic growth was mainly because we were too poor at that time. The situation was completely different from the current situation, so naturally we cannot be confused with each other.
After reading these reports and data, he didn't bother thinking about further accelerating economic growth. He just went step by step and let it develop naturally.
At the subsequent corporate annual meeting, he only emphasized the issue of corporate innovation capabilities, including technology research and development, design innovation and demand innovation, and hoped that they would conduct in-depth research and layout around these issues. (End of chapter)
