October 22nd.
United States.
Seattle.
This is a city located on the Pacific coast of Washington State.
It is also an important technology industrial cluster area in the United States, with many large and small high-tech companies.
The headquarters of Microcrystalline Technology are located in the southeastern suburb of Seattle, on a massive factory site covering hundreds of acres. All branches of Microcrystalline Technology, including the production division, research and development, and management, are located here.
It only maintains offices in downtown Seattle and New York.
8:15 AM.
The two vice presidents and all the department managers of Microcrystalline Technology are standing at the entrance.
They stand in the shadow of the huge arch, away from the heat.
One by one, dressed in suits and ties, all but the head of the laboratory are Caucasian. Today is the day the new CEO takes office and they dare not neglect it.
Different though American society may be.
