Chapter 53
Xia Ke is currently at a temporary medical point set up in the disaster area. She and Chen Ying are sitting side by side on a blue plastic chair with one corner damaged in the earthquake.
The lights in the temporary medical station corridor shone on the two men, casting a pale glow on their serious faces. The air seemed stagnant, pressing down on them and making it hard to breathe.
When Chen Ying arrived, he had already ordered the surrounding environment to be cleared, so even in the simple setting, their conversation was still safe.
"Xia Ke, have you noticed that our planet has been experiencing far too many disasters lately, and the scope of their impact has been far too vast?"
Xia Ke turned her head and looked at the woman beside her. She had short hair, with strands of white hair visible among her black hair. She was capable and straightforward. She had been in contact with Xia Ke ever since they were bound to the system. During this time, she was gentle and kind, like a kind elder in the family. She was thorough and reliable in her work. She had helped Hongqi Piao's development in a lot, both openly and secretly. Xia Ke herself liked and admired this former diplomat.
If ordinary people can spot the anomaly, how could the national AI not notice anything unusual?
What the system is concealing is definitely not a trivial matter. This matter may not only concern the development of the country but may even concern the future of the planet. This is not something that Xia Ke, as an individual, can handle.
Whether out of a sense of national duty or personal integrity, Xia Ke would not hide this matter.
However, there are two problems now. First, the system doesn't allow him to reveal his existence. Even with Chen Yingfang's many guesses, as long as she doesn't reveal the truth, they will forever remain in the fog, unable to know the whole story. And without knowing the whole situation, they can never fully trust her. Therefore, what she says will definitely be verified from multiple sources. Xia Ke doesn't object to this, but she's afraid of missing the best opportunity.
However, this has little to do with her. As long as she acts with a clear conscience and passes on the information, whether or not people believe it is not up to her.
Secondly, she herself did not understand the ins and outs of the matter and could not disclose any useful information. If her many speculations interfered with the country's plans, then she would become a sinner.
She can't take the blame for this.
Xia Ke carefully considered her words: "I also feel that this is unusual. Like the minister and all the people of Huaguo, I am slowly exploring the reasons behind it. However, only the tip of the iceberg has been revealed. As an ordinary person, it is difficult to see the whole picture. What I can assure the minister is that Hongqi Piao will always be a company that is benevolent and patriotic."
Chen Yingren, being a shrewd person, understood immediately.
Xia knows something, but not the whole story, so she can't reveal it. The following sentence states her position, indicating that the changes on Earth are unrelated to the red flag or the people behind her; her stance will always be on the side of the country.
"As the world's most technologically advanced technology company, Hongqi Piao must have the capability and determination to develop products that explore and solve this problem. I look forward to good news from Hongqi Piao."
"If that day ever comes, I will inform Minister Chen immediately."
Having asked all the necessary questions and given the required attitude, Chen Ying, busy with official duties, did not intend to stay any longer and got up.
"Foreign countries are eyeing Hongqi Piao's various technologies. They have been watching you for a long time. This attack is proof of that. I will have people strengthen your security protection, but you should also be careful and stay in Hongqi Village as little as possible."
Xia Ke nodded solemnly, indicating that she understood.
......
After the Lantern Festival, Hongqi Piao Company officially resumed operations.
Before the start of the project, Xia Ke organized a meeting with each business unit to discuss the progress of each product and the key tasks.
"Last year, our main focus was on developing the H-1 and H-2 series flying cars. This year, our main task is to develop the newer and more intelligent H-3 series flying cars. We will discuss the direction of our development with you, Mr. Xia, later."
"Currently, 35 manufacturers in the Republic and 8 foreign manufacturers have signed patent agreements for thermostatic clothing. The total monthly production capacity of thermostatic clothing can now reach 4 million units. This year, the main task of the thermostatic clothing division is to optimize and update thermostatic clothing based on the existing foundation, develop more commercial applications for thermostatic clothing, and increase assistance and support for patent-signing companies."
"Research on bionic prosthetics has made milestone progress, but it is still some time away from being fully understood and applied. This year, the main goal of the bionic prosthetics division is to finally crack this tough nut."
"Before the holiday, Minister Chen gave us information that there would be data on derivative products of space ring research after the New Year. Our department's recent work is to follow up on this matter and strive to update the product diversification of the space ring business unit."
Chen Ying had mentioned this to Xia Ke.
After nearly a year of research, the country is finally close to understanding the space ring system.
The fact that the country was able to quickly grasp the data of the space ring is largely thanks to the advanced space array that Xia Ke had previously unlocked, which served as auxiliary research data. At the time, Chen Ying didn't say much, only that after the new year, they would share some of the non-military data developed in the space ring with Hongqi Piao. The specific data would need to go through the organization's internal procedures before it could be given to Hongqi Piao Company.
As for the final outcome of the space ring, she declined to reveal it, only telling Xia Ke to follow the news.
"Last year, we completed the construction and decoration of the entire company park. We also negotiated with some businesses, who have agreed to move into our company's shopping mall. This year, I plan to increase the promotion of investment attraction for the shopping mall and strive to enrich the commercial ecosystem of the park as soon as possible."
The speaker was Liu Yun. In fact, it was not difficult to attract merchants to Hongqi Piao's shopping malls. As soon as the news was released, many merchants were willing to move in. The reason she brought up this matter at the meeting was mainly to promote the establishment of the subsidiary.
“Hongqi Piao is a technology company, but because our park covers a large area and has many properties and shops, in order to maximize profits and enrich the park’s business ecosystem, we will inevitably need to rent out the idle shops. The rental of a large number of shops requires more refined management, which cannot be accomplished by one department. Therefore, I suggest that we set up a subsidiary to be specifically responsible for handling this business.”
"Ding! Your company is developing and progressing rapidly. In the process of company development, you have found that some businesses are not within the company's main business scope. In order to standardize business management, please set up a subsidiary for the company's development. 20 points will be awarded upon completion of the task."
Xia Ke raised an eyebrow. The system had already issued the task, so what was there to discuss? She had to agree.
"Liu Yun, you will be in full charge of setting up the subsidiary."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the meeting immediately turned their attention to Liu Yun.
Is President Xia planning to hand over the subsidiary to Liu Yun?
Liu Yun's breathing became heavy. The assistant and the general manager were both general managers in the same company, and the latter was definitely more important. If it was really as she thought, then she would have risen to prominence overnight.
Calming herself down, Liu Yun replied calmly, "Yes, President Xia."
"Everyone has finished speaking, right? Now that you've finished, let me talk about the company's main plans for this year."
