Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 926 Bell Labs Situation

   The next morning

   Yang Chen took the three daughters of Xue Yufei to start a trip to Australia.

   During this period, the tourism industry in Australia was only prosperous in the southeastern coastal areas, and other places were still deserts, and the tourism industry was far less prosperous than later generations.

  Especially in the Northern Territory, which is a popular tourist destination for overseas travel enthusiasts in later generations, a series of tourist facilities are still empty.

   Tourism is a highly competitive global industry. The Northern Territory has amazing natural attractions, vast soil and unique culture. As long as the tourism service facilities are improved, it can become a tourist destination that attracts international tourists.

   However, with more than one million square kilometers of land in the Northern Territory, if you want to build a complete tourism service facility, this work cannot be completed in a short time.

   And, most importantly, after the service facilities are built, how to attract tourists is a big problem.

   Now Yang Chen's Northern Territory Tourism Company, the most troublesome problem now is that some regional tourism service facilities have been built, but there are no tourists, and the service facilities are all empty.

   In addition, there are many places with good views, and sound traffic needs to be improved. Various problems have made travel companies very blind.

Before   , Yang Chen himself didn't have a good solution, he could only let the travel company follow the steps first, but Chen Yulian's words made his mind immediately enlightened.

  What is the most attractive thing about the Northern Territory?

  Natural landscape, special indigenous culture.

  The Northern Territory has many magnificent natural landscapes that are not found in other places. These landscapes are placed in the scenes of movies and TV dramas. It is absolutely very shocking. Thinking that those who sell watches and clothes can advertise through TV and movies to increase brand awareness.

  The Northern Territory has such good natural resources, why can't they be exploited?

   As long as a few movies and TV series filmed in the Northern Territory are popular, and through some publicity, how can some tourists be attracted to the Northern Territory.

   Moreover, the filming of movies and TV series is not an easy job. The filming crew and actors, eating, drinking and sleeping during filming are also a lot of expenses.

   If these can be spent in the Northern Territory, it will promote the development of tourism in the Northern Territory and further improve the quality of tourism services in the Northern Territory.

   Now Yang Chen's Asia Entertainment is getting bigger and bigger, and the TV side has obtained business licenses in various places based on the voice of Li before.

   Today, Asia TV has become the world's largest Chinese-language commercial TV station. Starting from Xiangjiang, Asia TV's business has expanded to Haojiang, Wanwan, inland coastal areas, Southeast Asia, Latin America, Europe and other regions where Chinese are concentrated.

   At the same time, due to the rapid expansion of Carrefour in terms of movies, Asia Entertainment has established a complete cinema chain in Southeast Asia, and the output of movies is no longer restricted by cinemas in various regions.

  Asia Entertainment's investment in movies and TV series is getting bigger and bigger, and the investor system is perfect, so that the cost of filming movies and TV series does not need to be borne by Asia Entertainment Company alone. There are a lot of investors paying for it, and the company only needs to pay attention to quality control.

  With the improvement of quality, especially in the film industry, the requirements for shooting scenes are getting higher and higher. The shoddy production in the past can no longer be mixed in Asia Entertainment.

Most of   Asia Entertainment's film crews were filmed in areas other than Hong Kong. There were a few movies and the era of the same background is gone forever. There are so many natural landscapes in the Northern Territory, there is no reason to waste them.

   Moreover, the fertile water does not flow into the field of outsiders.

  The development of the Northern Territory requires a virtuous circle. If tourism can develop as soon as possible, it can also drive the development of other industries.

   It wasn't until the end of the year that Yang Chen returned to Xiangjiang with the women who were still unfinished. After a period of emptying, the reports on Yang Chen by the media in Xiangjiang finally decreased.

   Back in Xiangjiang, Yang Chen started busy work. At the end of the year, Yang Chen attended the annual meetings of various companies, one after another.

   Every day is not listening to the end-of-year report, or planning the development plan for the coming year, a lot of things make his mind buzzing all day.

   Of course, this is a kind of blissful pain that ordinary people cannot understand.

   After attending the annual meetings of various companies, Yang Chen remembered the laboratory he established not long ago.

   "Jianhan, how is the situation in the laboratory?"

"Any questions?"

   "No big problem, boss, you explained before, everything in the laboratory follows the previous model of Bell Labs."

   "Most of them are very satisfied with our arrangement. After some people have adapted to the life here in Xiangjiang, they have begun to help us poach people and contact their former colleagues."

   "Since the parent company of Bell Labs was split last year, Bell Labs' funding has been cut in half, and more and more researchers have been fired..."

   Since 1984, under the mandatory intervention of the US government's anti-monopoly policy, the famous Bell Labs was officially dismantled.

The parent company of    Bell Labs was split by the US government into seven subsidiaries, namely 'Bell Pacific, Ameritech, Bell Southwest, Bell West America, Bell Atlantic, Bell Southern and Nynex'.

  The parent company of Bell Labs was split, and a large number of scientific researchers changed from centralized research to decentralized research. This process is like the post-disintegration of the Soviet Union.

   Before the disintegration of the Soviet Union, although the economy was not very good, it was barely able to survive.

   Although the annual research funding of Bell Labs in the early days was large, it could be self-sufficient. Once the products developed by Bell Labs were put into the market, they could get great benefits.

   And these profits are converted into funds, which are re-invested in scientific research and new research and development. This cycle of R&D investment and then R&D has kept Bell Labs in a healthy state of development.

   However, with the separation of the parent company, the main source of funding for Bell Labs disappeared. In order to maintain research funding, Bell Labs even began to sell patents to solve the lack of scientific research funding.

   As a later generation, Yang Chen is very aware of how much impact the research of Bell Labs has on technology. Since the split of Bell Labs, the status of the United States in the field of technology has been affected step by step.

  The split of the parent company and the subsequent intervention of Wall Street capital made many heavyweight researchers at Bell Labs unable to concentrate on scientific research in the later period, so that the scientific research career stagnated.

The decline of    Bell Labs is also an important reason for the decline of American scientific research. Although the United States is powerful in science and technology in later generations, it is not unshakable.

  Especially in the field of communications, inland Huawei in later generations is the best example.
