CHAPTER 2040: CHAPTER 1863: UPGRADE!

"The Big Recruitment!"

The next day.

A piece of news appeared on Sina.

Among them.

It mainly mentioned the recruitment scale of Hummingbird and Ali this time, with predictions from the editor that shocked everyone—100,000 people, the global number of new employees for both companies over the next year.

After reading it.

Netizens were deeply shocked.

"So many!"

"Impressive."

"Is it true?"

"Of course, it’s true. Look at Hummingbird now, just in Huaxia alone, the total number of employees is in the tens of thousands. Now, their expansion into nearly forty countries, adding 100,000 employees, is not impossible."

"What a pity."

"What?"

"Most are foreigners, not creating jobs domestically."

"Short-sighted."

"+1."

"+1."

"At least have some common sense, alright? Hummingbird ventured abroad, bringing along Ali, so to speak, taking the commodity circulation channels out there. Many enterprises in Huaxia benefit from it, and numerous sellers get a share of the profit."

"Exactly."

"If asked to go abroad, would you?"

"Fool."

"..."

Seeing the news, indeed some people felt disappointed, thinking if it were domestic, they might have a chance to apply, but most of these jobs are overseas, making them visually appealing yet irrelevant to them.

Frustrating.

Of course.

There are also many who wish to venture out, and for the moment, many resumes were sent to the two companies. For these people, they are undoubtedly welcomed, as some key positions are more conveniently filled by their own country’s people.

Lower communication costs.

This is very important.

Also.

If the local people form cliques, it would be troublesome, ten percent is the minimum proportion of Chinese employees in each of Ali’s overseas branches, whereas for Hummingbird, it’s been reduced to three percent.

Different businesses.

After all.

Driving trucks and managing warehouse logistics primarily require labor force, as long as the cost is well-controlled, even amidst a busy day or running across the country, trying to make a stand-alone territory isn’t easy either.

...

India.

Mumbai.

The chairman of the Tata Group, Ladan, frowned. Indeed, things weren’t going smoothly, in other countries, Tang Qing’s allies all wielded decisive power, capable of influencing national policy.

However.

What about him?

Just a big entrepreneur, he had mentioned at Davos, the Indian market is tough to operate in, subtly suggesting to find more people, like those age-old influential families.

But.

Tang Qing didn’t seem to care.

Only sought him.

Consequently.

He could only brace himself, as expected, the progress wasn’t smooth, e-commerce, greatly impacts the local business landscape, many people don’t want this to succeed.

Frustrating.

Wanting to get things done.

So difficult.

Even for him, regarded as an ultra-rich outsider, at this moment, there was anger in his heart, all these family groups that made India what it is today, can’t fill their own stomachs, yet sell grain.

Humph!

Indeed.

He wants change, but has limited power, wants to do good, like building roads, but when land ownership is to the extreme, mostly controlled by those families, even with money, it’s impossible to accomplish.

Forget it.

Listen to Tang Qing.

Do the best he can.

However.

Probably going to lose some face, eventually landing. It seems, Tang Qing doesn’t have much expectation for India, thinking about this, Ladan felt even more frustrated, over a billion-population market.

Underestimated.

"Sigh!"

Ladan let out a long sigh.

Normally.

In this world, there’s never attention without reason, to be taken seriously, there must be something to match it. For the United States to convince India, a strong fist is needed to stand upright.

So.

Military purchases never stop.

However.

Weapons were bought, but respect was not gained. Instead, Europe and America just regard it as a fat lamb. The strength of a country is the strength as a whole, Tata wants to strive but has limited power.

One person pushing forward.

Ten people dragging back.

The result.

Is standing still.

...

February 8th.

Delin Province.

By the beach.

A group of Europeans sunbathing, with the sea breeze blowing, warm and comfortable, the group leader amusingly drinking chilled cola, feeling ecstatic inside, traveling on public funds, paid vacation, couldn’t be more pleasurable.

Work?

Heh!

That’s not something we can drive forward.

Three days ago.

Scientists had food poisoning, they were ’forced’ to commence a vacation mode, first wandering around Xin’an City, checking out holographic projections, tasting local specialties, and lastly, visiting the museum.

One day.

Took a whole day to finish.

Dinosaurs.

Gold.

Diamonds.

Truly as legendary, astonishing, the most speechless part for them was, on the day they visited, there were new exhibits not only shocking them but also visitors from countries worldwide.

Money.

Cash.

A lot.

As much as 2 billion new Asia Dollar bills, piled high, the scene, causing a temporary chaos现场失控, in this world, where is there a museum exhibiting large amounts of cash, yet here it’s done.

Simple.

Brutal.

Direct.

Just laid out in front of you, completely unconventional.

"Haha!"

Thinking of this, the group leader suddenly laughed.

Interesting.

Too interesting.

People here really know how to play, full of innovative spirit.

Yesterday.

They had enough fun and started work, yet, Burmese side told them again, food had some issues, causing physical weakness, still under observation, thus vacation extended again.

So.

They all flew to Delin Province.

Blue sky.

Blue sea.

Beach.

Beauties.

Nothing is missing here, if possible, the group leader wishes the holiday could be extended even longer, play here for three days, Thailand for three days, Huaxia for three days, Japan for three days... not enough, directly a month.

"Group leader, what are you laughing at?"

Next to him.

Other members turned to ask.

"Nothing, if the next month continues like this, it would be great." Facing these ’trench-mates’ temporary colleagues, the group leader made no secret, anyway, they all played hooky together.

Comrades.

Upon hearing that.

The others couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Listen.

Is that something you should say?

This time.

Though dragged into it, but still quite happy, rare without consuming original paid leave. Anyway not ’formally’ playing hooky, at most a domestic criticism, wouldn’t have any punishment.

...

Huaxia.

Shanghai Stock Market.

Smart Space Industrial Park.

Office.

"Oh?"

"As you wished."

Upon hearing the group leader’s ’wish’, Tang Qing couldn’t help but smile. A month, no big deal, just arranging a few more accidents, stumbled getting up, medical errors during injections, poisoned again, choked drinking water...

Too many excuses.

Make a list.

Dragging three days at a time, could drag it to next year.

Suddenly.

"Upgrade conditions completed!"

In the mind.

Came a cold, long-awaited joyous notification, Tang Qing hurried into the system and pulled up his personal information.

Name: Tang Qing.

Level: Level 4 Access.

Withdrawable Assets: 666,666 million

After Level Ten, the currency exchange display disappeared, but could exchange all currencies on this planet, attributes were gone too, the system said one could calculate oneself, only these three pitiful pieces of information left.

On assets.

Tang Qing kept a lucky number, 6.66 billion, unchanged for half a year.

Level 4 Access.

What’s it going to be?
