In this way, Alice's career in the UK was settled.

The day when the Li family and the three of them visited the UK and the next two days were spent in London. Just a glance at the office was enough to do anything. Since they were shareholders, they had to follow the establishment of the entire enterprise throughout the process. Even though many things had been completed by Alice in advance, Li Ka-shing would of course have to personally understand some hardware-level indicators in the future operation process.

So after visiting the Roswell Building, Li Ka-shing met with Remus Bourne, a senior designer who was poached by Alice from Foster Architecture. In the past few months, this industry veteran attracted many colleagues and opened a new office in a good office building in the city.

It was the fifteen people led by him who provided a lot of detailed help for the Alice Building, which was built in Los Angeles at this time. Although this is working for the controlling shareholders themselves, Alice took the process according to the law, and signed the contract as it should. The design consultation fee was indeed set by her and Bourne after repeated discussions, and it was completely the market price.

Basic salary plus welfare allowance, all employees of the firm should make a penny of money. If you want to say the difference, it is only that Bourne, who is also a shareholder, will make less money in the share dividend field, that is, the net profit will be lower~

Sending people from the Hong Kong Cheung Kong Group is a complicated job. After Li Ka-shing returns to Hong Kong, he will continue to achieve it slowly with Li Zekai who stays in London. This visit, after a preliminary understanding of the work environment and the future design department, what he has to do is to rush to Exeter, located at the southeast end of the Great Britain Island.

The small city has a population of only 100,000, but it has welcomed the arrival of two billion-dollar wealthy businessmen. It is such an honor.

"Please allow me to recommend it."

In the office on the fifth floor of the institute, Alice introduced a middle-aged woman with fluttering hair to the three members of the Li family: "This is Draken Drilling Company, director of the Exeter Industrial Research Institute, Ms. Edmer Plund. Ms. Plund, Chairman of the Hong Kong Cheung Kong Group, Mr. Li Ka-shing."

A very necessary meeting was arranged in this critical place. Ms. Plander held Li Ka-shing's hand vigorously and said, "Hello, Mr. Li, welcome to the UK to invest. We Drakan have been doing business in this country for fifteen years. If you have any related needs, we are very happy to help."

"That's my honor." Li Ka-shing greeted politely, and then was invited by Alice to the reception area to sit down.

Ms. Plande spoke: "I guess Mr. Li has visited Ms. Wang's research institute?"

"We came up and looked at the hard-working programmers through the window." Li Ka-shing spoke very fluently in British English, even better than Ms. Plande, who is a European: "On the way here, I have heard the introduction of the young Ms. Wang. Is your company going to develop into the field of machine tool industry?"

"That's right." Although only the director of the Institute, not the general manager of the Drakken UK branch, Ms. Plande is far more qualified to sit here than the one who is present.

"Ms. Wang's research institute has the fastest super computer in the world. With its help, our design speed of new machine tools can be greatly improved by a percentage point. Our industrial research institute was established specifically in Exeter to cooperate with Ms. Wang most conveniently."

The two brothers of Li listened on the sofa next to him, without any intention of interrupting. After all, it was not as unconventional as Alice, and their age was still too young compared to the business they were doing now. Li Zeju is pretty good. The second son Li Zekai just graduated from college last year, and it was too late to seize every opportunity to absorb knowledge, so there was no reason not to listen carefully.

"I personally highly agree with your company's actions. Companies that know how to move forward have a bright future." Li Ka-shing certainly did not stingy with his praise: "I don't know what field Draken is very good at besides having rich experience in drilling rig production?"

Of course, I had a premonition in advance for this meeting today. Ms. Plande fully understood what Li Ka-shing meant and smiled: "Although Germany's economy is very developed, its fundamental territory is not as large as the United States. The world is so big. Our Drakan has a history of a hundred years and we have a very good understanding of other companies in the industrial field in China."

"In terms of pharmaceutical production, because Miss Wang would have known about the headquarters, Draken, who is in the transformation period, does intend to take the pharmaceutical production line as the priority goal. If you are willing to give our company a period of time, I believe that the headquarters will definitely sell a batch of high-quality high-end equipment for your new company at a very fair price. What do you think?"

Speaking of this, Ms. Plande could take a little rest. She picked up the coffee and tasted it. The aroma of the drink floated in the office, and the other three people present also drank the cups. Li Ka-shing immediately asked about the details about the production line. As the director of the new machine tool research and development institute, Edmer Plande not only could answer easily, but also immediately took out a stack of information from the bag and distributed it to everyone present.

Obviously, it is necessary for everyone to go to Drakken's Institute again. As investors and bosses, who can care about the equipment that will be used to produce their own products? But after all, this institute is also in Exeter and can be reached in just 20 minutes by car, so during this nap, it is necessary for everyone to use information to understand it roughly.

"Draken Company, Chairman..." Alice was the first time she looked at the company's introduction brochure. To be honest, she was quite interested in this company. After all, a product like drilling rig has an unspeakable charm. Digging deep into all kinds of mines and digging deep into various tunnels is absolutely "man's romance"!

"Director...O'Brien Anderson!?"

However, what was extremely unexpected was that she actually saw a very familiar name here!

It turned out to be such a causal relationship. When Alice saw this name, she could have a link of an invisible clue. The female spy who came to find her must have been instructed by Anderson. The mysterious programmer's weird algorithm borrowed computers to transform the enterprise. There is obviously an invisible relationship between these two things!

"Ms. Wang knows Mr. Anderson?" Ms. Plander asked politely.

"I have met several times, but they are all in some messy occasions." Alice put down the introduction brochure with a thud: "Is this the independent director marked?"

“Yes, Mr. Anderson is an independent director of our Drakken. He will not be involved in the daily operations of the company except for important meetings.”

So that's it, it's like this, it turns out to be like this, Alice smiled sincerely: "It's interesting to say that, although I have reached a multi-party agreement with your company, I haven't known your directors all. Ms. Plander, take the liberty to ask, which director proposed the first to develop Drakken to the machine tool industry?"

Edmer Plande, former deputy director of the technical department sent from the German headquarters to the UK, is currently the director of this institute. Whether the status is high or low or not, whether it is parallel transfer or promotion depends on the specific role played by the institute during the company's transformation.

Therefore, the director of a company's strategic resolution was raised, and this kind of question was too difficult for her. Plander shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You may have to ask the senior executives, Miss Wang, but I think such a major concern must have been approved after comprehensive discussions between the board of directors."

Of course, this level of proposal will not be accepted at once. Alice knew that her question was just a simple question, and deeper things should not be revealed at this time.

But in this way, don’t you seem to be in danger?

Alice has never forgotten that after she met O'Brien Anderson in Los Angeles, she was attacked by a European masker and a hired Chinatown gangster. If this was not instructed by that guy, Alice would not believe it even if she slapped her butt and egg.

OK, it turns out that this guy is still an independent director of Drakken?

Independent directors are independent of the company's shareholder group and do not serve within the company. They have no important business or professional contacts with the company or company managers, and will not make independent judgments on the company's affairs. To put it bluntly, their existence is actually equivalent to retail investors with high holdings and non-staff members who simply make profits.

It is very inconspicuous and inconspicuous. If it weren't for the brochure handed over by Ms. Plande, no one would have known which independent directors this company could have.

As a result, I was so happy that someone who had sent someone to do something "unfavorable" to him actually went to his partnership company?

Although she was just an independent director without any real power, Alice instinctively realized that if she really thought so, she would be broken.

"Uncle Akaman." That night, in her room, Alice hung up the phone at the Blackwater headquarters in North Carolina, USA: "I want to help you check two people, O'Brien Anderson and Viple Pushkin, the business representative and independent director of West Drakken. I'll send you all the information later, and then let's discuss it."
Chapter completed!
