Chapter 1372: Ship of Theseus

Everyone has several achievements in his life that he is proud of, and Genia. Rowling firmly believes that with Eric. Tan’s acquaintance is the most important achievement in her career, not one of them.
Since she took over the first commission of the young Chinese man, "Heidrick & Struggle International Consulting Co., Ltd." has been able to harvest from this client every year so much that all peers are jealous. In the "Matrix" laboratory and its After the most important core companies have handed over the introduction of high-level talents to "Heidrick & Struggle" for execution, with the expansion of companies such as "Cisco", "SGI", "MIPS" and "iDoorsoft", In the process of conquering cities and rapidly growing into a leader in the IT industry on a global scale, "Heidrick & Struggle International Consulting Co., Ltd." has also grown rapidly, just like the description printed on its corporate profile. Zhe is the world's largest professional company providing corporate leader search and corporate leadership consulting services."
Genia. Ms. Rowling herself has also risen step by step because she opened up this milestone for the company's development. Just last year, she took over the authority of the company's CEO.
Therefore, "Heidrick & Struggle" has always attached great importance to the commission from Tan Zhenhua. What's more, this commission is an excellent performance opportunity that Rowling believes can best reflect the company's capabilities and values!
Genia. Rowling decided to go to Hamburg to conduct the command, and temporarily transferred the business elites in the major cities of West Hans to Hamburg, vowing to complete the commission beautifully, cleanly and thoroughly!
Tan Zhenhua’s entrustment is: to dig up all the people from LMG at all costs, even if this person is just a cleaner from LMG!
He marked a sky-high price of 10 million U.S. dollars for this commission, which is probably the highest bid ever in the "headhunting" service industry in history!
This is really not that Young Master Tan Er has too much money to be scattered everywhere, it is that he is bound by various laws and regulations, and he can only do this.
According to West Hans law, when a non-West Hans local company acquires more than 25% of a West Hans company in a "critical field", the West Hans Ministry of Economic Affairs will intervene in the review of the merger case.
LMG is a leading company in the field of West Hans dredgers. Although its scale is not too large, it clearly meets the definition of
key areas
because of its leadership in the industry. With Tan Zhenhua’s background, West Hans’ 99.99% of the review fails, so he can only acquire no more than 25% of the company’s equity at most. If he wants to achieve the purpose of controlling the company through this method, he will not work, even if he is willing to pay more checks. It is also impossible to support Cole's "buy country" operation.
What's more, he still has bigger projects to do with the funds he currently has, and he won't be able to release it for a while.
Through the first round of negotiations with Dr. Bazel, he also knew that LMG would never transfer technology easily, and even the compromise solution of "co-design" was completely rejected. Do you still expect them to sell technology?
Then only plan B is implemented.
Unlike Helan IHC and Belgian Yangdenu Group, two world dredger giants with their own design and self-build capabilities, LMG is a design company with strong system integration and supply chain integration capabilities, which rely on these capabilities And West Hans' strong social manufacturing foundation and parts supporting processing capabilities occupy one of the top three dredgers in the world. Although it has the smallest market share among the top three, its asset-light operating model is unique. , Profitability is not bad.
However, this operating model has one of the biggest weaknesses. Tan Zhenhua also intends to target this weakness. The codename he took for the B plan is-"Theus Plan".
Theseus was the king of ancient Athens. His main deeds include: annihilating many famous robbers; solving the maze of Minos and defeating the Minotaur Minotaur; kidnapping the beautiful Helen and detonating Troy for ten The war also left the legend of the Trojan horse; the attempt to hijack Hades’s wife Persephone but failed, etc., is a legendary ancient Greek hero who can cause trouble and toss.
However, Tan Zhenhua’s plan for his name was not because of his "heroic deeds", but because of a ship, the most famous philosophical "ship of paradox"-"The Ship of Theseus." .
The problem is this: "Theseus’ boats can sail for hundreds of years at sea. This is due to continuous maintenance and replacement of parts. As long as a wooden board rots, it will be replaced, and so on, until all The parts are not the first ones. Then the question arises, after the last original part is replaced, is the ship still the original ship of Theseus? It obviously has nothing to do with the original ship. Is there a physical connection? If it is not the original ship, when did it cease to be the original ship?
This question full of paradoxes has a more meaningful extension: "If a new ship is rebuilt with the old parts taken from the ship of Theseus, then which of the two ships is the real one? The ship of Theseus?"
Tan Zhenhua's interest in philosophy is limited, and he has no time to delve into this kind of open mouth problem, but this does not prevent him from using it to solve his current troubles-there are only 300 people in LMG, and he established a family. The new shell dredger design company, and then think of a way to dig over 300 people, then, this new company or the old company, which one is the real LMG?
And to do so, it seems that there is no violation of any Western Hans law, right?
The goal is clear, the funds are abundant, and the manpower is all in place, Genia. Rowling completed her deployment and all the preliminary preparations, and "Heidrick & Struggle" launched the largest "headhunting" operation in its history.
And Dr. Bazel's head hurt immediately.
PS: LMG, one of the world's leading companies in the marine muddy water system and dredging equipment industry, was renamed VanoordLMG after merging with the Helan Vanoord Dredging Company in 2003. In 2006, it received a commissioned design order from "CCCC Tianjin Waterway Bureau Co., Ltd." , And Shanghai Jiaotong University jointly designed a self-propelled cutter-suction dredger. The design was completed in 2008. The ship started construction on April 28 of the same year. China Merchants Heavy Industries (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. was responsible for the specific construction. In 2010 The construction was completed on New Year's Day and the sea trial started, and delivered to users in the same year.
This ship is the "South China Sea Island Building Artifact" familiar to military fans. Its installed power and dredging capacity rank first in Asia and third in the world. It is known as the "Nature's Magical Workmanship"-Sky Whale.
