Chapter Eighty-Eight: Where There Is Metal, There Are Husks
......
......
The weather in early spring did not make the flowers and branches in the green space along the streets of the capital SAR begin to spread, and the temperature of 30 degrees north latitude seems to be still immersed in the memory of winter. The empty streets are filled with only a handful of pedestrians, and the center of the Federation is as serious and monotonous as ever, like the magnificent buildings lining the streets, which make it difficult to feel close.
West 12th Street, a district that is far away from the major departments of the political axe, is quieter, and this street is home to several of the largest companies in the Federation, but it is not as prosperous as the city of Hong Kong, and there is no bizarre three-dimensional image to show off to the sky. The exterior of these buildings is ordinary and calm, with a sense of solemnity that has been seen in the history of mankind.
At the corner of the street facing Charter Square, there is a building whose exterior wall has a faint metallic sheen, but does not form a strong reflection of sunlight.
Xu Le looked at the building in front of him, which had almost zero light pollution, squinted his eyes and counted the floors twice, confirming that it was forty-seven.
This boring act of counting floors was his method of calming his nerves - it was the first time in his life that he applied for the job, and the object of the application was the most famous Fruit Shell Mobile Company in the Federation.
When Xu Le was an apprentice repairing household appliances in the pit workshop, joining the Federal Fruit Shell Motor Company was his life dream. For the young people of the Federation who are aspiring to this, the name of the Fruit Shell Mobile Company has always been covered with a dizzying brilliance.
Guoke Motor Company is the largest mobile company in the entire federation and represents the standard of the entire industry. The status of this mobile company, forged by both history and reality, has changed the lives of countless people in the Federation, and the Jingnong high-energy battery is the most amazing invention of this mobile company countless years ago.
With the growth of the Federation, the company has developed into a petted company, with a wide range of business covers a wide range of fields, including automobiles, multi-purpose ships, spacecraft, airport machinery and equipment, ground transmission systems...... The motorized company has a very arrogant slogan:
"Wherever there is metal, there is a sign of a husk. ”
This sentence is not false, although the archives of the Federation have not been declassified, but everyone, including the Empire, knows that the development of the Federation military's continuous series of mecha starting from Type B has the participation of Guoke Mobile Company, and the military's space battleships are naturally inseparable from this company.
Such a giant enterprise affects all aspects of the Federation, but no one can really know who this company belongs to. However, unlike other family businesses that do not disclose information, Guoke Mobile Company has always been at the forefront of all enterprises in terms of equity information disclosure, and such a behemoth, if you want to play mysticism, whether it is those politicians or ordinary people in the Federation, it is impossible to accept.
The reason why no one knows who the owner of the company is to this day is that the shareholding structure of the company is very complex, in addition to the 30% equity of the federal citizen fund at the time of the First Constitutional Era, there are countless public welfare funds or private funds.
The Federal Citizens' Fund, in which 30 per cent of the shares are owned, is exercised on behalf of the Federal Administrative Council. In addition, the second largest single shareholder is the Veterans Association, also known as the Veterans Association, but the Veterans Association's equity is only 1.4 percent, which shows that the shareholding structure of Guoke Mobile Company has become outrageously complex.
The reason for this situation is also determined by history, large enterprises that can affect the foundation of the federation must be absolutely controlled by the federation, but those profit-seeking financial giants, the big families hidden behind the scenes, how can they let go of this piece of fat, under countless years of competition, everyone found that no one had the ability to swallow this company alone, which caused the current situation.
The federal military, as well as the Academy of Sciences, also have a proxy stake in the Fruit Shell Mobile Company. According to the last precise calculation by the Federal Statistical Office in the 41st year of the constitutional calendar, if the federal citizen fund and the equity of those with military background are all counted, the equity of the Fruit Shell Mobile Company that the Federation can control has reached 41 percent.
The Bureau of Statistics and economists believe that under the strict supervision of relevant laws, insider trading between as many as 3,000 equity owners has been completely blocked, and it is difficult to fundamentally change the complex shareholding structure formed by history.
At this point, the federal political axe was relieved.
Therefore, nominally, Guoke Mobile Company is an enterprise belonging to all the people of the Federation, while the countless funds and private individuals who hold scattered shares in their hands can only enjoy dividends and related rights.

......
Before leaving the university town of Linhai Prefecture, Xu Le had already submitted his electronic resume to several well-known mobile companies in the federation through the Internet, and at the end of the resume, he attached his transcript of being an auditor at Ewha University, and at the same time attached a letter of recommendation written by Professor Zhou.
When he asked Professor Zhou for help writing a letter of recommendation, Professor Zhou did not hesitate at all, because after only one year of study, the professor clearly judged that Xu Le, a student, had a very valuable intuitive sensitivity and a very strong practical ability in mechanical training...... The only thing that made Professor Zhou feel a little puzzled was that since Xu Le was the person that Professor Jin fancied, why didn't he just let Professor Jin introduce him to those big companies, although Professor Jin had been away from S1 for many years, but with Professor Jin's reputation in the industry back then, his students should be qualified to choose companies at will.
The electronic resume is attached to Xu Le's citizen number, and after the resume is submitted to several large mobile companies in the federation, it belongs to some files outside the ** protection regulations, and can be directly accessed by the personnel department of these companies. Xu Le was not worried that those companies would be able to find anything unusual from his files, after all, the shoddy chip on the back of his neck was used to hide and seek with the Charter Bureau, and it was impossible for something to go wrong in the files.
But regarding the prospect of applying for the job, Xu Le did not have the slightest confidence in his heart, no matter how brilliant his transcript was at Ewha University, he was only an auditor after all, and he did not even get a diploma. If a veteran with a military mechanic background can have some kind of advantage in applying for these large mobile companies, it is clear in his file that he is just a mine road maintenance soldier squatting in the Donglin Region......
However, I don't know if it was Professor Zhou's recommendation letter that played a role, or for some other reason, not long after the resume was sent, Xu Le received electronic interview invitations from three mobile companies.
Xu Le did not hesitate to choose the Guoke Mobile Company, so at this time, his people would appear in the Capital Region and at the door of this building.
"Where there is metal, there is a husk. ”
Xu Le squinted his eyes, looked at the row of small characters in front of the door of the building and the husk sign deep in the metal wall at the end of the characters, and took a deep breath.
This slogan in front of the headquarters of the Fruit Shell Mobile Company is more concise and powerful than the slogan circulated among the people of the Federation, as if there is a kind of magic. He finally made sure that there was nothing inappropriate about his clothes and walked into the building.
......
......
"It can't be Tai Zhiyuan's help, right?" Xu Le smiled slightly, just after that conversation on the beach by the sea, he had never seen Tai Zhiyuan again. Although these two young people are indeed friends in a sense, after all, the distance between the classes is too great, so it is impossible to contact them as often as ordinary friends.
Regarding the assassination of the Linhai Prefecture Gymnasium, the investigation of the federal political axe has come to an end, whether it is Shi Qinghai or Zhang Xiaomeng, Xu Le will be noticed by the political axe and invited to tea by the FBI, but because of Xu Le's positive role in this matter and the strong suppression of the Tai family, Xu Le's role in this matter has been sealed in a secret file, and he successfully returned to the life of an ordinary person.
"Welcome to Fruit Shell. A sweet-looking female staff member at the front desk of the building confirmed Xu Le's name and citizen number, clicked on the location on the touch screen, and said with a smile: "The interview is held in Area C on the 32nd floor, I wish you all the best." ”
The service attitude is very good, not at all like a giant enterprise owned by the Federation, Xu Le was slightly stunned, and suddenly had a ridiculous feeling in his heart, as if he had returned to the Xingchen Club, and he was discussing the content and price of the service with the front desk lady. He blinked vigorously and smiled a little embarrassedly at the front desk lady.
After taking the high-speed elevator to Area C on the 32nd floor, after completing the registration, Xu Le did not queue up and was taken directly to a room by the staff.
This is not a privilege, the HR department of Guoke Mobile Company conducts a second examination, and all candidates, before the actual employment examination, will go through two screenings, one is to filter the resume, and the other is to interview in the room.
The deputy director of the seventh division of the second personnel department of Guoke Mobile Company, a middle-aged man with a slightly bald head, glanced at Xu Le, who pushed the door in, and then looked at the archives and profiles on the light screen, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and he was very dissatisfied with the work of his colleagues in the fourth personnel department.
Although Ewha University is the most powerful institution in the three major systematic training institutions except for the three colleges, how can an audit student be qualified for the research work of Guoke Mobile Company, although there is a letter of recommendation from the professor, the transcript is not bad......
The middle-aged man with a slightly bald head glanced at the leaders around him with an inquiring eye, and then asked indifferently to Xu Le, who was sitting in the chair: "I won't ask you why you want to enter the Guoke Mobile Company, and I don't want to express any opinions on your resume, because that's not my scope of work, I just want to ask you what you think about the name of the company." Why is our company called Fruit Shell Motor Company? ”
Xu Le sat on the chair, although his mood was a little nervous, but his expression did not leak the slightest, and when he heard the official speak, the last trace of nervousness disappeared, and he was silent for a moment, preparing the answer in his heart. At this moment, he naturally thought of Uncle Feng Yu's arguments about the relationship between machines and human bodies.
