Chapter 747
There was winter snow outside the window, and the temperature had reached below zero.
But the low temperature cannot penetrate the double-layer warm glass windows, and the room is still warm. The children of the Raman family wore thick winter clothes to play snowballs outside. The temperatures in India and California are very high, so it is strange to snow.
Seeing the children outside the window having fun, Raman himself smiled knowingly. He was still a rustic a few months ago and has changed a lot now. He has held assets of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars and managed hundreds of the best talents in the world. His demeanor and confidence are booming in him.
Zhou Qingfeng has always been a suspicious person when hiring people, but he does not doubt the person when hiring people. He has no time to manage chores, so he simply ignores it. This has led to his subordinates having great power and responsibilities, and if something happens, he will directly cause trouble for the person in charge.
Raman never thought that he could mobilize huge manpower, material resources and financial resources one day. When he asked for more than 30 million US dollars for the first time, his hand signing was trembling.
However, when this dark-skinned and humble Indian scholar found that power was so useful, he actually hid in the office and cried for a long time. For this reason, he wrote his experiences in China into an email and sent them to his enlightenment teacher in India.
"Dear teacher, I haven't been able to write to you for several months. I used to be because of life difficulties, but now I'm busy with work. Today I have time, I want to tell you about the recent situation.
Three months ago, I was still worried about my future in my residence in California, and suddenly I got a good job to go to China. I swear to the gods that I really don’t know why I was selected? But I couldn’t refuse, so I took my whole family to an ordinary city in northeast China.
In three months, I experienced a great psychological impact. I have a strong confidant at this moment and want to tell you what I see, hear, and think of.
Before I arrived at this city called "Tianyang", I knew that China was already a world-class country. But I also felt that China had imperial capitals, demon capitals, big cities, and a large number of talents, and our India was not bad either.
We have Mumbai, New Delhi, Bangalore, Kolkata, and our biopharmaceutical and software industries are also first-class in the world. I always feel that China can develop within more than 30 years, so India will definitely be able to do it.
But now I find that it is meaningless to focus on only the most developed cities in a country. If you want to compare, you should compare the more ordinary, more broadly meaningful and more basic ordinary cities. "Tianyang" is such an ordinary Chinese city.
After I arrived at Tianyang, I was told that this was a declining old industrial city, with developments shrinking in all aspects and the economy was very bad.
When I saw the wasteland that the laboratory was about to be built, I agreed with this statement. The situation here is really bad. I think it would be great if the laboratory could be built within two years.
But just I found that the difference between me and the locals' measurement standards for "terrible" was too big. The construction workers here only took one day to level the 20,000 square meters of land that the laboratory was going to build.
How could this be terrible? This is obviously awesome!
The construction workers here can call a large number of construction machinery with one phone number, and can easily recruit dozens or even hundreds of workers with rich construction experience with one phone number. Everyone gathers together and immediately understands their responsibilities. They work all night and hardly rest.
One day, it’s really a day to finish the work.
I was surprised that the convenient transportation here could easily transport a large number of construction machinery, and I was surprised that the cheap prices and skilled skills of skilled workers.
But what surprised me most was the organizational management ability of the foreman. Such people in the United States are at the level of project managers, with an annual salary of more than 100,000 US dollars. But through the translator, I asked the other party about civil engineering majors from that university. The answer I got was that this foreman in his fifties graduated from junior high school, and was the village chief of a nearby village and had never attended university.
Please believe me, I was really at a loss at the time.
I think in rural India, a village chief can easily gather hundreds of people, but these hundreds of people should be blind. It is absolutely impossible that hundreds of people in their forties and fifties will all become junior and seniors like in China.
Only then did I realize that education began to be popularized in this country in the 1970s and 1980s, but the result was that the labor force here had strong cognitive abilities and low management costs.
I used to think that India's elite education was correct, but now my concept has been shaken. Anyone in a country has junior high school and high school, and the benefits are extremely obvious.
I thought about it for a long time and never thought that there was a country with such a huge, low-cost, high-quality population. Local workers were not proud of their academic qualifications at all. Everyone said that they were not very good at it. In their opinion, it was almost like blind people who had never been to college.
I absolutely do not agree with this view, and even express anger!
The construction speed of the laboratory is surprisingly fast. Although I have never seen a real investor in this laboratory, there is no doubt that his financial strength is very strong.
The infrastructure construction of the entire laboratory cost about US$300 million. This money was spent in three months, and it was a very enviable experimental park.
The best environment, the most advanced equipment, the best talents, and even the local people were extremely surprised that a wasteland had turned into an extremely beautiful scientific research community.
I am extremely satisfied with my work and life here. Within three months, more than a hundred highly qualified biochemical researchers joined me. Their original nationalities and backgrounds were different, and my job was to coordinate their relationship.
So far, I have done a good job. I have signed a confidentiality agreement to say more about my work content, but I want to talk about life here.
The abundant supplies are normal, but what surprised me was the harmonious interpersonal relationship here. This was what I originally wanted to get in the United States but didn’t. I was surprised to get it in China.
I came from the lower caste of Shudra, and my study experience was extremely difficult. The reason why I went to the United States was to gain a free space for development. I brought my daughter from India to the United States because I didn’t want her to be treated as a slave or even enslaved by her classmates from high caste.
But what disappointed me is that in India, the high caste bullies the low caste, and in the United States, the low caste bullies the low caste. My daughter has been excluded and even bullied in school. I complained to the school teachers countless times, but the answer I got was to ask my daughter not to cause trouble.
My daughter is the most obedient in the world. She is even very timid. How could she cause trouble? But I can't help but change anything.
In this small, dilapidated city in China, my daughter went to a bilingual school the first day, and at night she happily ran to me and said, "Dad, I have made friends. The teachers and children here like me."
This really made me feel very pleased, and I felt this in my interactions with locals. They were not xenophobic. They heard that I came from India and just smiled a few times. After chatting for a few words, they didn’t care about my identity at all.
I was always worried that I would encounter some trouble or discrimination due to the country, nation, and customs. My translator told me that as long as we respect each other, ordinary people in China do not have extreme hatred of foreigners. The official will even deliberately take care of outstanding talents from abroad.
These three months of life have been the most comfortable day in the past decade, and I can't help but plan to live here for a long time. Unfortunately, China's green card is the hardest to get in the world. This is the only thing that frustrated me." (To be continued.)
