Chapter 785 Old Butterfly Is Here to Pick up the Goods Again
In the following days, members of the rocket engineering team of the Xichang base arrived one after another.
Most of these engineers trained by the space agency for many years were brought here by Zhou Rui. Only one-third of the old members were left in the Xichang base, and the new members were transferred from Taiyuan and Jiuquan bases.
And even the remaining one-third will most likely come to Taiyi to work in the future, after all, the treatment here is better.
This is the so-called talent flow. The people below have room for upward mobility, and the people above have better development.
Otherwise, any system will eventually become bloated over time, because the demand for fresh blood is far greater than the space vacated by normal retirement.
Units like the space agency cannot start "optimization" and export talents to the society. This wave is actually a win-win situation.
With more manpower, the progress of "Capture 2.0" has also accelerated a bit, so Zhou Rui pulled Wang Tao and others out to be responsible for the intelligent transformation of the factory, vowing to turn it into a comprehensive intelligent factory.
In this way, there are two teams, one for the capture and one for transformation, and everything is in order.
Going out early and returning late every day, the days are quite fulfilling, and the date of departure for Ryukyu is getting closer and closer.
After Zhou Rui announced the itinerary, the outside world responded quite well. First of all, the locals of Ryukyu warmly welcomed him. He has not been there yet, but Ryukyu is already full of Zhou Rui's legend.
Not only will Zhou Rui get candy if he licks it well, but if he takes this opportunity to get global exposure, it is also very important to let more people know the current situation of Ryukyu.
On the main island, some members of parliament who can't even remember their names hummed a few words, but they probably regarded it as fart.
As for the domestic Internet, it's fun, all of them let Master Zhou win glory for the country.
What glory? Show the glory of China!
"As long as you are brave, Yui will take maternity leave."
"Although I have always said that it is my wife, if Master Zhou has a chance, I will bear it and send me a photo later."
"I will dream my wife and ask her to tell Master Zhou everything."
"Can I wait downstairs? I am worried that my wife will be thirsty."
"Master Zhou, it doesn't matter whether you wear it or not. I will take my child's surname."
A bunch of people are afraid of chaos in the world. In order to be a funny person, they would rather pretend to be minotaurs.
In just two days, Zhou Rui felt that his comment area was polluted with a green color.
In the middle, Zhou Rui communicated with Kuang Xuejun once. Of course, they didn't talk about the hot memes on the Internet, but followed up on the progress.
The first batch of security personnel has arrived in Ryukyu and started a comprehensive investigation. Every street that may pass by, every accommodation that will stay, and even every person who will see Zhou Rui are all within the scope of the investigation.
The official letter said that there are 150 people. In fact, for this trip, there are more local forces involved. After all, the committee has a lot of manpower in Ryukyu.
Especially with Lintuo leading the team there, both Zhou Rui and the organization were very relieved. This guy is an ace.
On this day, Zhou Rui was busy at the "Wanhu Base" for most of the day, and drove to Lujiazui in the afternoon.
An old butterfly came.
Abu called and said that Khalid had arrived in Shanghai. Originally, Khalid was going to come to the "Wanhu Base" to see the world, but the base was still messy, so Zhou Rui refused.
He didn't agree to dinner, just meet and chat.
The old butterfly is still exaggerated, and booked the top floor of the "Carlton" luxury hotel in Lujiazui.
At the entrance of the hotel, the most powerful crown prince of the Arab Emirates has been waiting for a long time, wearing an exquisite rose purple suit, holding a cane, and the pocket square on his chest is all with gold edges.
So Zhou Rui called him the old butterfly, and he was definitely not wrong in his nickname.
In contrast, Zhou Rui was much more low-key. He drove an "ordinary" Mercedes-Benz GLS, and it was traveling back and forth in the industrial zone these days. The body of the car was covered with mud spots, so that the doorman was stunned for a moment.
However, Khalid still greeted him with the brightest smile.
"Mr. Zhou! We meet again. Please come here in person."
Zhou Rui shook hands with Khalid: "It's not cleaned up over there, so I won't show you. Let's talk about it later."
He handed the car keys to Abu, and he estimated that he would send it to a car wash, and he and Khalid went to the top floor of the hotel.
This place is almost face to face with the big gourd, and the scenery is pretty good. Khalid has already prepared tea and cigars.
Sitting in front of the French window, Khalid cut the cigar for Zhou Rui and handed it over, saying: "Mr. Zhou, would you like to try it? Beike, I like the strong-flavored type recently."
After Zhou Rui took it, he casually said: "Oh, I like the sauce-flavored type."
Khalid nodded, secretly noted Mr. Zhou's preferences, and decided to buy some sauce-flavored cigars for Mr. Zhou in the future.
Zhou Rui followed his habit and took the cigars but didn't light them. Cigars are just a hobby except for the cultural bonus, and there is nothing curious about them.
He took a sip of Arabic tea: "I heard from Abu that you want to join the 'Ryukyu Investment and Reconstruction Committee'?"
Khalid thought: I just want to follow you and improve our friendship.
But he said: "I have this idea. I heard that you will lead the team soon? I wonder if there is a chance to join together?"
Zhou Rui nodded and said: "I will leave on the 15th, and I can join you."
The main purpose is to talk about this matter. With Khalid's participation, the scene is more "diversified", giving the outside world a stronger sense of "business" and weakening a little "political sense".
The organization will send one or two "corporate representatives" at that time, but they are all Chinese companies, which are not as effective as Khalid's signboard in form. He has discussed it with Kuang Xuejun, and he will notify him after it is decided.
As for whether Khalid will really invest, Zhou Rui estimates that Lao Hudie will still spend millions of "wasted money". The key to getting a hand is participation. He knows why Lao Hudie is interested in Ryukyu very well.
As for matching goods, the more you spend on him, the more you can get real good things later. This is how the perovskite factory came about.
The two checked the itinerary, and at the end, Khalid mentioned another thing.
"By the way, there will be a launching ceremony at the Shamshi factory the day after tomorrow. Can Mr. Zhou come to attend it?"
Shamshi is the name of the perovskite factory.
Last time the project was finalized, he held a so-called "ceremony" in the smart town.
This time when it is officially put into operation, he will do it again.
In fact, Khalid is not idle. He is also very tired from running around, but for the Middle Eastern tycoons, especially the ambitious Middle Eastern tycoons.
It doesn't matter how much money "Shamshi Solar" can make. Anyway, no matter how much it makes, it won't be as much as oil.
How much reputation it can earn is more important.
He has personally experienced the shock of the "smart industrial cluster" and is very confident that he can let the world know the "technological strength" of the Arab Emirates.
He even invited several equally influential crown princes in the Middle East.
He is not the kind of person who eats and waits for death, but steps into the center of his own power.
It can't be considered a return of favors, at most it is to take what they need and help each other. Zhou Rui no longer refuses, but said that he may only have half a day to give him.
Khalid thought about it and decided to maximize the benefits of this half day. At that time, he would not let Zhou Rui participate in the regular ceremony during the day, but put it in the evening to introduce Zhou Rui to several other crown princes.
That's called having face.
