It lasted for nearly three hours before Professor Solow left; but the shock to him today was too great. Why the Black Cloud Group can develop so quickly has basically found the answer. It has something to do with Bao Zixuan himself being a genius, but it is more about his mind and pattern.
It sounds simple, but there are only a few people who actually do it. Heiyun Group's R&D investment can range from hundreds of millions to tens of billions. It is still unknown; how much trust can be obtained by writing a report. The idea of a science and engineering man is relatively simple. After finally encountering such a good boss, can you not work hard!
Professor Solow has served as a consultant to many companies in the United States and is even a frequent visitor to the White House. But even if Americans talk about how to attach importance to investment in scientific research, they definitely do not have the courage of Heiyun Group and Bao Zixuan. It is impossible for the financial department personnel to come to the door on their own initiative, and the application of scientific research personnel can be approved, and they are already burning high incense. Then you can also count on others to take the initiative to send you money. It is estimated that no country or enterprise can do it.
Maybe this is the gap. Bao Zixuan himself is an engineer, and of course he knows where the focus and time should be placed by the technicians.
But at this moment, Professor Solo began to think again. Bao Zixuan invited him to be the strategic advisor of Heiyun Group; he did not refuse, but he did not agree. As the most famous economist in the United States, of course, he knows the impact and threat of the Black Cloud Group to domestic enterprises. With his knowledge of the White House, he would never let Heiyun Group and Bao Zixuan grow and develop.
If there is fair competition, all American companies, and their heads, are not the opponents of Heiyun Group and Bao Zixuan. It may be precisely because the other party was born in science and engineering and did not know how to manage a business that Heiyun Group developed so rapidly.
It sounds simple to say that the boss delegates power, but there are not many people who actually do it. If the White House takes action against Heiyun Group and Bao Zixuan, then as a strategic adviser, the position can be very awkward. Although the conditions offered are very attractive, and the contribution of that kid to MIT is obvious to all. But the economy must serve the overall situation of the country; as an economist, of course, understand this truth.
In fact, the richest man in Bao is also tentative. It would be best if Professor Solo agreed. But the other party refuses, then it proves that the problem is not simple. As an economic adviser to the White House, you must know some of the thoughts of the top American. If you hadn't been careful everywhere, and the Soviet Union had not yet disintegrated; it was estimated that the Americans would have taken the Black Cloud Group for a long time.
From the analysis of Professor Solow's expression, it is not difficult to see that he must know something. Just because of the principle of confidentiality, I can't say it. The richest man Bao is not a judge, so no evidence is required. It seems to speed up the pace, otherwise it will not end well when the Americans come to ask for trouble.
While Bao Zixuan was thinking, his subordinates came to report, and the royal family sent him an invitation letter.
Gustaf, the Kingdom of Sweden, invited him to the palace tomorrow morning for talks and lunch together.
Although he has never met Bao Zixuan, and the other party is just an ordinary businessman; he is not a state dignitary. But no one dared to treat him as an ordinary businessman, even without the relationship of Fucaira; the strength and scale of the Black Cloud Group alone had to be taken seriously.
Although Sweden is very rich, it also hopes that multinational groups will actively invest in it.
Wherever he goes, he will receive invitations from dignitaries and royal families from all over the world, and the richest man is used to it. However, as the host, being able to take the initiative to invite you is also an honor in itself, and the face that should be given should still be given. And Sweden does have many fields worth investing in. If the other party allows it, it can be carefully considered.
However, this possibility is unlikely, after all, the country itself is not short of money. After the 19th century, with the growth of the capitalist economy and maintaining neutrality in world politics, Sweden's economic development gradually accelerated. By the middle of the 20th century, it developed rapidly and became an industrially developed capitalist country. Since the 1970s, Sweden has implemented a new industrial adjustment strategy, increased the intensity and investment in scientific research, developed modern high-tech industries, and became a modern welfare society.
The national happiness index has always been ranked among the top in the world. In such a country, it is not so easy for external funds to enter. Moreover, there is also a troublesome problem in investing in building factories, that is, the problem of labor costs. The welfare benefits of the Nordic countries are always at the forefront of the world, and they are allowed to work overtime; not to say it is impossible, but it will cost a lot. Therefore, in addition to domestic companies choosing to build factories in China, foreign companies should forget it!
The next morning, Bao Zixuan deliberately changed into formal clothes. How to say that the other party is also the king of Sweden, you still need to pay attention to etiquette.
After two rides in the royal motorcade, they soon came to the Swedish Royal Palace.
The Swedish Royal Palace was built in the Middle Ages and was originally a military fortress. At the end of the 17th century, it was gradually transformed and expanded to become the Royal Palace today. Although the royal family has now moved out to the Queen's Island Palace on the outskirts, the Stockholm Royal Palace is still the official residence of the King of Sweden; therefore, it is still chosen here when receiving important guests.
The palace is built near the water, the buildings are distributed in squares, and the white exterior walls are elegant and elegant. There are two stone lions in front of the main entrance, two guards wearing red tassel caps more than one foot high and wearing medieval military uniforms standing with guns, tourists can take pictures with them.
Although there are tourists coming in today, the security check level is obviously much stricter than before, and some areas are not open. The king can't go wrong, and Bao Zixuan can't go wrong; it's normal to raise the security level.
Gustav, who is in his early forties, is the golden age of a man. As a head of state, it is definitely a period of youth and power. But limited by the system, he has no real power. It is more of a symbolic meaning, and it seems that it is inappropriate to invite Bao Zixuan; after all, the king himself does not directly manage the country, but there seems to be nothing wrong with it.
The King of Sweden said with a smile, "Welcome Mr. Bao to Stockholm. I hope this place will bring you good memories."
This is a basic diplomatic occasion, and Bao Zixuan has to follow the rules. So he smiled and said, "Thanks to His Majesty the King for his invitation, Sweden is a beautiful and rich country. The environment here is very beautiful and the climate is very good; I have decided to wait until the children are older and bring them on vacation."
Being able to bring the children here is enough to show the sincerity of the richest man. If all aspects are not good here, who will bring children over for adventure.
Bao Zixuan communicated with the king in Swedish throughout the whole process, which made the people next to him feel good. It is said that Bao Zixuan's language talent is extraordinary, and it seems that this is true now. After all, in the whole world, there are not many people who speak Swedish.
Gustav said with a smile: "Thank you for your recognition of Sweden. I also have three children, and they can play together when the time comes."
Then he said: "This is my wife, Sylvia Somolet; he is a loyal user of Black Cloud products. Hearing that your Excellency is visiting, he must invite you to the palace as a guest."
A typical sibling love, but the richest man Bao knows very well that the woman in front of him is not simple. I just don't know if the Swedes also pay attention to female juniors and hold golden bricks.
Sylvia Somollet was born in Heidelberg, Germany on December 23, 1943. Silvia is a commoner. Her father is a German businessman and her mother is Brazilian. She lived in Brazil for 11 years when she was a child, and later graduated from a translation school in Munich, Germany. In 1972, Silvia met King Carl XVI-Gustaf of Sweden at the Munich Summer Olympics. In 1976, King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden married Silvia. This is also the first time the Swedish royal family has had a current king marry since 1797. Sylvia is graceful in manners, elegant in manners, masters six or seven languages, and is deeply loved by the Swedish people.
Bao Zixuan said very seriously: "Thank you very much for the invitation of Her Royal Highness the Queen, I am really flattered; I also thank Her Royal Highness for his love and support for Heiyun products. I hope that if you find any problems during use, please give more valuable opinions!"
Somollet: "Mr. Bao is too polite. It's our honor to have you come to Sweden. At the same time, we haven't found any problems with the products of the Black Cloud Group."
Bao Zixuan didn't bring his wife here, so the two of them just said hello; today's protagonist is not a woman, the Queen of Sweden knows diplomatic etiquette well.
In order to reflect the people-friendly side, it is also to promote the national culture to Bao Zixuan. The king began to take him around the palace and acted as a docent; at the same time, when he saw tourists, he would take the initiative to say hello.
European royal families have done this very well. Most of them implement constitutional monarchies and have no real power. They do not need to manage state affairs, so they will have more time to go to the people.
