Chapter 156 The fastest entry into the Fortune 500 in history
The next morning, Ge Yu met Lu An again.
At this moment, Ge Yu looked at Lu An with excitement and said, "I just received the news from my superiors that it's over. There is no danger."
Ge Yu added: "There is no need to rush to mass-produce armed machines. People, just resume normal production activities and deliver it by the end of the year as originally planned."
Lu An nodded: "Okay."
After notifying Lu An of the matter as soon as possible, Ge Yu also left.
After a while, Meng Qiuyan came over and asked: "How's it going?"
Lu An smiled and said: "There was no danger, but I was afraid, I greased my soles and ran away."
Hearing this, Meng Qiuyan couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was still quite nervous knowing the situation.
In the past few days, while "Bear Bears" was still being played in China, the whole world was raising their voices.
The result "disappointed" the whole world, because the scene of the two sides fighting that they most expected to see did not happen.
But the whole world knows that Yingzi lost this game and came to take advantage of the excitement. As a result, he retreated after losing points, which is equivalent to letting the whole world know that Yingzi did not dare to confront him.
After this incident, the prestige of the East rose almost overnight.
Lu An said with a smile: "After what happened, at the Zhuhai Air Show in November next year, there is a high probability that there will be orders for the foreign trade version of the armed humanoid robot."
It is basically certain that the first customer will most likely be a Sat tycoon.
If nothing else happens, in early October this year, Sate will take the initiative to beat brother Hu Sai, and do so with great force, resulting in a big mess.
The wealthy man was so aggressive that he couldn't even fight with his slippers, so he was beaten up.
This is just the right time to catch up. The Zhuhai Air Show will be held in November.
The armed robot will make its public debut at this air show. Others, Lu An, dare not vouch for it, but Sat tycoon saw it and fell in love with this equipment at first sight.
Hide safely in the back, sit on the sofa with the air conditioner blowing and control the robot with the handle to go to the front to fight with others. This is simply a high-end toy tailor-made for the rich and powerful.
It’s Tuesday, July 19th.
· Metaverse Intelligent Control’s new headquarters was officially opened today. It is not only a super workspace that can accommodate 50,000 employees for working and collaboration,
· It has also become the most recognizable new landmark in Hedong District and Jianing City.
The overall layout of the new headquarters is not a simple layout, but a precisely planned urban science and technology complex.
The most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly the core main building. It is not a traditional square block, but consists of three groups of huge, slightly curved curved glass curtain wall structures that converge upward and stagger, and finally form a smooth spire at the top.
From a distance, it looks like a huge, translucent future sailboat cutting through the waves.
It also looks like three huge "petals" with metallic luster holding up the sky. Its unique shape is not only for visual impact, but also optimizes internal lighting and aerodynamics.
The curtain wall uses the most advanced adaptive smart glass at the time, which can automatically adjust the light transmittance and color tone according to the intensity of external light.
It appears soft silver-gray under the scorching sun, effectively insulating and energy-saving; on cloudy days or when more light is needed indoors, it becomes highly transparent,
It introduces natural light to the maximum extent.
At night, the ultra-thin flexible light strips integrated in the glass interlayer are lit and can be programmed to display dynamic light effects, company logos or public welfare information, making the entire building bright and full of futuristic technology. The core main building is about 370 meters high. This height is not even ranked among domestic skyscrapers. Obviously, the building height is not blindly pursued.
However, it still became the tallest building in Jianing City.
The main building is surrounded by well-proportioned podiums, R&D centers, data centers, etc., which together form a super ecosystem that can accommodate 50,000 employees working at the same time.
The internal space adopts a modular and intelligent design, with huge open collaboration areas and dedicated independent spaces intertwined.
The huge underground parking system uses automatic license plate/employee card recognition and intelligent guidance systems to guide vehicles to quickly find vacant spaces.
The building complex is not a steel jungle. The core of the park is a wide "ecological green valley" running from north to south, including artificial wetlands, native plant communities, pea trails and rest pavilions.
The new headquarters also has an employee welfare center. The health center is equipped with advanced physical examination equipment, physical therapy rooms, psychological consultation rooms, etc.
The equipment in the technology gym is integrated with sensors and connected to the employee health APP to provide personalized training guidance.
Diversified catering, setting up multiple large employee restaurants, providing national style catering, emphasizing healthy and organic ingredients.
There is also a large multi-functional auditorium, which can hold company-wide meetings, technology conferences, product launches or large-scale events with a capacity of 10,000 people. It is equipped with the most advanced surround sound and ultra-high-definition giant screens.
The new headquarters was officially opened today. In the next two months, the company's employees will move from HX District to the new headquarters in Hedong District.
Nowadays, everyone living in Jianing City knows that Hedong District is the new city center of the city in the future, and various resources in the city are also tilted towards Hedong District.
You can feel the obvious difference from the property market prices and land prices. Across a river, houses in HX District are 15% cheaper. Hedong District was almost a suburb three years ago. Since Metaverse Intelligent Control confirmed the planning of a new headquarters in Hedong District, the place has been almost the same every year.
In Hedong District now, various infrastructure facilities have gradually been developed.
On the other side, Wu Hongsheng, the top leader of Jianing City, was listening to the work report of his subordinates in the office: "Our city's public fiscal revenue in the first half of the year was 26.135 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of +76.61% compared to the first half of last year."
Wu Hongsheng immediately took the material and looked at it for himself. Although his expression was well managed, he was already happy inside.
This growth rate is simply picturesque and unique in the country.
There is no doubt that Metaverse Intelligent Control is the biggest contributor. The company's tax revenue in the first half of the year reached 38.5 billion yuan, which was handed over to the national treasury and the province, and 11.55 billion yuan was retained in Jianing City. It is the absolute largest taxpayer in Jianing City.
Metaverse Intelligent Control's indirect contribution is also a very considerable amount. The company's employees have high incomes, not only high social security payments, but also high personal taxes.
At this time, his secretary said with a smile: "Secretary Wu, there is one more thing. Today, Fortune Chinese website simultaneously released the latest Fortune Global 500 company rankings. 14 mainland companies are on the list for the first time, including Metaverse Intelligent Control."
Wu Hongsheng was quite happy after hearing this and said: "Okay, this is also the first Fortune 500 company to appear in our city."
The Fortune Global 500 list has always been the most famous and authoritative list for measuring the world's largest companies. The 500 companies on this year's list, which are released annually, have an operating income of US$27.6 trillion and a combined net profit of US$1.48 trillion. The entry threshold is US$20.92 billion, down 11.8% from last year's US$23.72 billion.
Walmart's revenue in 2015 was US$482.1 billion, a slight decrease of 0.7% year-on-year, ranking first for three consecutive years. State Grid's ranking jumped to second place, although its revenue also fell by 2.9%. Zhong Petroleum and Zhong Petrochemical followed closely, ranking 3rd and 4th respectively, and Apple entered the top 10 for the first time.
The number of domestic companies on the list continues to grow, reaching 111 this year. 14 mainland companies are on the list for the first time, including Jingdong,
Yuanjie Intelligent Control, etc.
Wu Hongsheng asked: "Where does Metaverse Intelligent Control rank among the top 500 companies in the world?"
His secretary replied: "The company's operating income last year was equivalent to US$24.2 billion, ranking 445th on the list."
The secretary paused, then continued: "Although in the world It ranks relatively low on the top 500 list, but it has been reported by major media, even far surpassing the big companies at the front, because Metaverse Intelligent Control not only appeared on the Fortune 500 list for the first time, but also became the youngest company in the history of domestic and foreign companies to enter the list. "
It only took three years for Metaverse Intelligent Control to enter the list for the first time, setting a new world record.
The original record holder for the fastest entry into the list was Facebook, founded by Zuckerberg, which took 8 years. However, Metaverse Intelligent Control further compressed this time by five years.
Strictly speaking, it is not three years, but two and a half years.
Because the Fortune 500 companies published every year are based on the previous year's data.
· Metaverse’s growth rate has shocked the outside world. Many people in the media, technology and capital circles almost unanimously believe that the company’s record for the fastest time to enter the list will be difficult to be broken by latecomers.
Many media articles frequently use the word "miracle" to describe it. 99% of companies around the world fail to make the list. Metaverse Intelligent Control's entry into the list is as easy as drinking water.
Wu Hongsheng's secretary said: "Metaverse's entry into the list is just the beginning. It is generally believed that with the company's current development momentum, this year's solid-state lattice battery business and the explosion of Xiaoyuan's robot business, these new performance growth points will inevitably push Metaverse's ranking on the list to rise like a rocket."
Needless to think, Metaverse's performance and revenue this year will only explode even more.
Because two strong performance growth points have been added this year, and Xiaoyuan's robot business has overtaken Metaverse Intelligent Control's bionic prosthetic business.
Wu Hongsheng was extremely happy when he heard this. This also heralded the economic development of Jianing City and the improvement of fiscal and taxation, and these all happened during his tenure, and they are all resources for future general promotion.
Finally, Wu Hongsheng said: "Go and prepare for a meeting. The Jianing City subway project can be put on the schedule."
With ample municipal financial support and combined with the city's rapid development, Wu Hongsheng has decided to plan ahead and put the subway system in Jianing City elsewhere. A city with the same population cannot afford expensive urban infrastructure like the subway.
However, Jianing City's fiscal revenue growth momentum is obviously not one of them, and with the city's current development momentum, it is necessary to plan a subway system.
