Winter snow was falling outside the window, and the temperature had already reached below freezing.
However, the low temperature could not penetrate the double-layer insulated glass windows, and the room was still warm. The Raman family's children wore thick winter clothes and had a snowball fight outside. The temperature in India and California is very high, and snow is a rare thing.
Looking at the children playing happily outside the window, Raman himself smiled knowingly. He was a rustic just a few months ago. Now he has changed a lot. He is in charge of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in assets and manages hundreds of the best people in the world.
His talents, magnanimity and self-confidence are flourishing in him.
Zhou Qingfeng has always used people with suspicion. He has no time to manage chores, so he simply ignores them. This results in the people under him having great powers and responsibilities, and if something goes wrong, he will directly ask the person in charge for trouble.
.
Raman never thought that one day he would be able to mobilize huge manpower, material and financial resources. When he first requested to spend more than 30 million US dollars to purchase equipment, his signing hand was trembling.
However, when this dark-skinned and humble Indian scholar discovered that power was so easy to use, he actually hid in his office and cried for a long time. For this reason, he specially wrote an email about his experiences in China and sent it to his enlightenment teacher in India.
"Dear teacher, I haven't been able to write to you for several months. Before, it was because life was difficult, and now I am busy with work. I have free time today, and I want to tell you about the recent situation.
Three months ago, when I was still worrying about my future in my residence in California, I suddenly got an attractive job offer to go to China. I swear to God, I really don’t know why I was chosen? But I couldn’t refuse, so I took
The whole family came to an ordinary city in Northeast China.
In the past three months, I have experienced a great psychological shock. I have a strong desire to express my feelings at this moment and want to tell you what I saw, heard and thought.
Before I arrived in this city called Tianyang, I knew that China was already a first-class country in the world. But I also felt that China had imperial capitals, magical capitals, big cities, and a large number of talents.
And we in India are not bad either.
We have Mumbai, New Delhi, Bangalore, and Calcutta. Our biopharmaceutical and software industries are also among the best in the world. I have always believed that if China can develop in more than thirty years, then India will certainly do the same.
Can.
But now I find that it is meaningless to only focus on the most developed city in a country. If you want to compare, you should compare it with ordinary cities that are more ordinary, more extensive, and more basic. 'Tianyang' is such an ordinary Chinese city.
When I arrived in Tianyang, I was told that it was a declining old industrial city, with development in all aspects shrinking and the economy in very bad shape.
When I saw the wasteland where the laboratory was going to be built, I agreed. The situation here was really bad. I thought it would be great if the laboratory could be built within two years.
But in just one night, I discovered that there was a huge gap between the local people's and me's standards for measuring "terrible." It only took one day for the construction workers here to level the 20,000 square meters of land where the laboratory was to be built.
What's so bad about this? It's so awesome!
The construction workers here can dispatch a large number of construction machinery with just one phone call, and easily recruit dozens or even hundreds of workers with rich construction experience with just one phone call. When everyone gathers, they immediately understand their responsibilities. They work all night long.
Almost no rest.
One day, really just one day to get the job done.
I was surprised that the convenient transportation here can easily transport a large number of construction machinery, and I was also surprised by the low price and skilled skills of skilled workers.
But what surprised me the most was the organizational management ability of the foreman. In the United States, such people are all project managers with an annual salary of more than 100,000 US dollars. But I asked through a translator which university he graduated from with a civil engineering major, and the answer I got was -
This foreman, who is in his fifties, graduated from junior high school and is the head of a nearby village. He has never gone to college.
Please believe me, I was really at a loss at the time.
I think in a village in India, a village chief can easily summon hundreds of people, but these hundreds of people should be illiterate. It is absolutely impossible to be like in China, where every one of the hundreds of people in their forties or fifties can
Have middle school and high school education.
Only then did I understand that this country began to popularize education in the 1970s and 1980s. The result is that the labor force here has strong cognitive abilities and low management costs.
I used to think that elite education in India was correct, but now my idea has been shaken. If anyone in a country has a middle school or high school education, the benefits are extremely obvious.
I have been thinking about it for a long time and I can’t think of another country that can provide such a large number of high-quality people at a low cost. However, the local workers are not proud of their academic level at all. Everyone says that they have no education and in their opinion have no education.
After college, you are almost as illiterate.
I absolutely disagree with this view and am even angry!
The subsequent construction of the laboratory was surprisingly fast. Although I have never met the real investor of this laboratory, there is no doubt that his financial strength is very strong.
The infrastructure construction of the entire laboratory cost approximately 300 million U.S. dollars. All the money was spent in three months, and the result was an enviable experimental park.
With the best environment, the most advanced equipment, and the best talents, even the local people were extremely surprised that a deserted beach turned into an extremely beautiful scientific research community.
I am extremely satisfied with my work and life here. Within three months, more than a hundred highly qualified biochemical researchers have joined me. Their original nationalities and backgrounds are all different, and my job is to coordinate
relationship between them.
So far, I have done a good job. I have signed a confidentiality agreement and cannot say more about my work content, but I want to talk about life here.
The abundant supply of supplies is normal, but what surprises me is the harmonious interpersonal relationships here. This is something I originally wanted to get in the United States but didn't get it, and surprisingly I got it in China.
I was born in a lower caste of Shudras, and my educational experience was extremely difficult. The reason why I went to the United States was to find a free space for development. I brought my daughter to the United States from India because I didn’t want her to be misunderstood by her upper-caste classmates.
Treated as a slave or even enslaved.
But what disappoints me is that in India, the upper castes bully the lower castes, and in the United States, the lower castes bully the lower castes. My daughter has been excluded and even bullied at school. I complained to the school teachers countless times, but the answer I got was that I
Daughter, don't cause trouble.
My daughter is the most well-behaved in the world. She is even very timid. How could she cause trouble? But there is nothing I can do about it and I can't change anything.
And in this small, so-called "rundown" city in China, my daughter went to a bilingual school on the first day and came to me happily in the evening and said, "Dad, I have made friends. The teachers and children here"
Everybody likes me'.
This really made me feel gratified, and I also felt this when I interacted with the locals. They were not xenophobic. When they heard that I was from India, they just smiled and said "Oh" and chatted a few times.
At the end of the sentence, I don't care about my identity at all.
I had always been worried that I would encounter some trouble or discrimination because of my country, ethnicity, and customs. But my translator told me that as long as they respect each other, ordinary people in China do not have extreme hatred of foreigners. The official will even
Deliberately take care of outstanding talents from abroad.
These three months have been the most comfortable life I have experienced in the past ten years. I can’t help but plan to live here for a long time. Unfortunately, the green card in China is the most difficult to obtain in the world. This is the only thing that makes me depressed.
