Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

As a staff member of Kyoto City, I naturally hope that the city will get better and better, and that the people will live a prosperous life and live and work in peace and contentment. But the premise is that there is industrial support. The semiconductor and computer industries are absolutely high-tech; no matter where they settle, they are warmly welcomed. Now that Bao Zixuan wants to invest, there is no reason to object; he will even do his best to facilitate this matter. Serving as an official for one term can bring benefits to a place; it can also be regarded as an account to the local people.

Taking Silicon Valley as an example, the action will definitely not be small; too little investment is not in line with Bao's personality. Although I don’t know who gave Bao the richest man the courage, given his strength, it is not difficult to do anything he wants to do.

The Kyoto staff thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Bao, do you want to make Zhongguancun a place like Silicon Valley in the United States? To be honest, it sounds very exciting, but sometimes we have to consider the actual situation."

"Even if you don't want to admit it, there are some things that you have to face; there is such a big difference between the two. I really want to know how you think about it."

Being able to recognize the gap is itself a kind of progress; always feeling that you are invincible will ultimately harm others and yourself. With a clear understanding, things will be more secure in the future; it can be said that we have taken a big step forward towards success.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "The popularity of home computers in the United States began ten years ago, and now middle-class families have basically used computers."

"In just over ten years, computers have entered ordinary households from laboratories, banks, universities, and research institutes."

"In fact, this is not just the case in the United States, but also in developed countries in Europe; the first round of computer popularization has been completed in most countries. In other words, many children can already communicate with the outside world at home."

"Although Xiangjiang is a little worse, the students of Heiyun still have no problem at all logging into the Internet through their computers at home."

"With the eradication of Moore's Law calculations, in ten years the price of computers will be only a quarter of what it is now, or even lower. And China's economic development in recent years can be described as rapid."

"In fact, some families in mainland China have already installed computers; they are just not connected to the Internet and are not very practical. But some children can already have access to them. This is an improvement."

"Heiyun has conducted internal deductions, and the popularization of home computers in China will begin in ten years at the latest; by then computers will have entered thousands of households. In other words, every middle-class family and above will have one or several computers, and the market size is beyond imagination. .”

"The reason why the United States can stand out among the others in the field of computers has a lot to do with the penetration rate. Starting to be exposed to computers in elementary school can unleash their talents to the greatest extent. At present, many Chinese children have not even been exposed to computers, and have not even seen them. But even if you have extraordinary talent, it is difficult to discover it.”

"In the computer field, it is not just a question of talent; technical accumulation is also very important. But currently these are not available and we are already far behind."

"We also have our own advantages, which is our population base. When computers become truly popular, no country will be able to compete with China for programmer positions."

"To solve these problems, the early foundation must be laid; various conveniences must be provided for talents."

"To build Zhongguancun based on Silicon Valley seems a bit overestimating our capabilities. But if we don't have confidence in ourselves, how can we attract foreign companies to settle in."

“Technical exchanges are very important in the computer field; only by gathering the strengths of many families can we remain invincible in future competition.”

There was a lot of talk, but some of it didn’t sound very clear; computers had just started, and it wasn’t just primary school students; most of the people on site had never actually operated it. It's strange that you can understand it. After all, some things can only be imagined; that's not possible!

Fortunately, the core point of view is still very clear. Heiyun Group has conducted a detailed investigation; within ten years, computers will enter thousands of households and become standard equipment.

Twenty years from now, there will be no shortage of computer talents in China, so it is not impossible to build Zhongguancun into an existence like Silicon Valley in the United States.

If you want to develop the regional economy or become the best in a certain field, both talent and capital are indispensable. According to Bao Zixuan, China mainland will not lack computer-related talents; combined with the other party's terrifying financial resources. It is not said that Zhongguancun will be built to the same level as Silicon Valley, but it can at least occupy a place in the world's computer field.

The Kyoto City staff thought for a while and said: "Mr. Bao's analysis is indeed very reasonable; there will be no shortage of computer-related talents in mainland China in the future."

"As long as it develops at full strength, policies will provide certain support; it is not impossible to turn Zhongguancun into Silicon Valley."

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. Although we all have high academic qualifications, in front of you, a top expert in the computer field, we may not even be qualified to be students. Therefore, if you have any ideas or decisions, you can speak out; we will give you our full assistance. "

The words are indeed very modest, but they are not completely unreasonable. As a Tuling Award winner, students who can let Bao Zixuan take classes in person, especially in the computer field, must not have too low a level. Not to mention belonging to the ranks of the world's top programmers, at least in the computer field, one must have certain achievements.

Bao Zixuan thought for a moment and said, "I would like to ask you, do you want to not have to renovate Zhongguancun in the next hundred years? Or do you want to deal with it for ten or eight years?"

“Of course there are pros and cons to both, and as an investor it is not easy to make the final decision.”

Two plans are directly given, and no transformation is needed for a hundred years; the money spent will be an astronomical figure; what does it mean to cover the other side?

The Kyoto staff thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Bao, we are naturally leaning towards the Centennial Project. Can you give us a detailed introduction?"

No one has nothing to do but tinker with things every day; it’s better to ask clearly!

Bao Zixuan: "Currently, business in Zhongguancun seems to be pretty good; merchants can make money; it can contribute a lot of tax revenue."

"But I don't know if you have noticed that the roads are already congested, which shows that there are problems with the planning itself. The ancients did not consider how wide the roads would be for cars in the future."

"So we must first solve the traffic problem. Roads are congested every day. Whether it is consumers or investors, they will not be in a good mood."

"Not to mention wasting time, the most important thing is that work efficiency will be greatly reduced; sales will naturally decrease accordingly."

"To build a century-old project, we must make an overall plan for Zhongguancun; almost all businesses must be relocated; the site must be vacated."

"And this process takes at least two years, and venue arrangement is a troublesome matter. When faced with merchants who receive huge amounts of money every day, no matter how good the words are, the other party will not believe it easily."

"No one can say for sure what will happen in the future. There will be great resistance to all relocations; these are issues that need to be seriously considered."

"If I were to do the overall planning, I would build a single 8-lane main road; and hollow out the entire Zhongguancun underground to use it as a parking lot and underground pedestrian crossing!"

"Connecting all the buildings together through underground passages; that leaves a lot of time."

"Both sides of the street serve as commercial areas; shopping malls with less than ten floors are built, and merchants can choose to rent or directly purchase shops."

"In addition to the commercial street, there are also several pedestrian streets that mainly sell small products, and the supporting facilities must not be missing."

"At the same time, we need to build an innovative industrial park for emerging companies to use as offices. The rent will be extremely low or rent-free for qualified companies to use."

"Once a company is started, it must bear corresponding responsibilities. Whether it is to compensate for the rent or to take out shares; in short, the choice lies with the entrepreneur."

"We also need to provide some land for large companies to build headquarters at a low price; but the nature of the land must be clearly stated, and it cannot be used for anything other than office and research and development."

"All the remaining land will be built into hotels and apartments; it will be leased to people working in Zhongguancun, and the rent must be controlled within a reasonable range."

"As for coping with the situation for ten to eight years, we can directly renovate some old buildings; it doesn't cost much."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Bao Zixuan prefers a century-old project; although the words are very simple, the meaning is very clear.

People in Kyoto are also considering the overall transformation of Zhongguancun; it is not easy to say that it is not easy, and there are too many interests involved. But if he does nothing, Bao Zixuan will be very disappointed and his impression of Kyoto will be greatly reduced.

Either destroy or establish, a choice must be made at this moment.

The Kyoto staff thought for a while and said: "Mr. Bao, I personally prefer the Centennial Project, but there are some things that I still need to ask for permission. I will definitely give you an answer tomorrow morning at the latest!"
