Chapter Five Hundred and Sixty-Four Countries' Responses - Other Countries 2
The University of Cambridge is very happy that Oxford University has not contributed. I used to worry about who has the final say in the technology town, but now there is no need to worry about it. The UK and the United States are very different. There are many well-known and powerful companies in the United States, and universities are not
It is possible to take the lead in such a major project. There are not such strong companies in the UK, at least no companies that can convince the public; this makes universities inevitable to take a dominant position in technology towns.
The best universities in the UK are nothing more than Oxford and Cambridge. Now Oxford has taken the initiative to give in. Cambridge will definitely have more say. It is more appropriate for the British technology town to be named Cambridge Town. This is the true leadership of the University of Cambridge.
idea.
One thing the British are better at is that they know their own strength. They only plan to build a science and technology town, and even if they have the funds, there will not be that many companies and universities to settle there; but there are conflicts over site selection.
The United Kingdom, the full name of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, is located in the British Isles northwest of the European continent and is surrounded by the North Sea, the English Channel, the Celtic Sea, the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.
The United Kingdom is a Western European island country consisting of England, Wales and Scotland on the island of Great Britain, Northern Ireland in the northeastern part of the island of Ireland, and a series of affiliated islands.
The establishment of a science and technology town can promote local economic and technological development to a certain extent. The most ideal choice is to build it in England. Compared with Scotland and Northern Ireland, which often argue for independence, England is more trustworthy. Although Wales is more obedient,
However, the land area is too small, and the location is not very suitable.
Construction in England quickly reached a consensus. After all, the real power in the British Empire was the English. The most ideal choice was London, but London no longer had excess land planning. It was simply not feasible to build a technology town in London.
.
The British are very good at protecting private property. There are dozens of legal provisions emphasizing the issue of private property. Now it seems that the only choice for a technology town is in Liverpool or Manchester.
But this will provoke another conflict, that is, the conflict between two cities. And it is a conflict between several worlds. Neither city will give in. After all, no one can afford to lose.
Liverpool reached the peak of urban development in the 18th century: it was once the second largest city in the United Kingdom after London. Relying on the disgraceful slave trade, it became the second largest port in Europe (the first was Amsterdam). Here was born
Britain's first dockyard. At the beginning of the 19th century, 40% of world trade was completed through Liverpool dockyard.
Port Albert was an important port in Liverpool at that time. Before and after the Industrial Revolution, Britain had close connections with trade and the slave trade with other parts of the world.
However, with the advent of the Industrial Revolution, Liverpool, which adhered to traditional trade, fell behind, while Manchester, which was only more than 40 kilometers away from Liverpool, flourished and became the new British industrial center relying on the textile industry represented by the "Jenny Machine".
Since Liverpool is a major raw material export city, many industries in Manchester must rely on the transmission of the Mersey River. This makes Manchester City people lament the high cost of transmission on the one hand, and secretly develop a canal specifically to serve themselves on the other.
At the end of the 19th century, the Manchester Canal was opened, stretching 58 kilometers from East Harlem to Manchester, perfectly allowing ships to bypass the Liverpool docks.
The people of Liverpool felt that their dignity had been violated and attacked the people of Manchester with ridicule, saying that they were "blue-collar old-timers" who only knew manufacturing. The people of Manchester used the title "scousers" to define the people of Liverpool, and insinuated that the people of Liverpool were called "scousers".
"scouse" (fried beef) is the food, and the whole city has a vulgar temperament.
The struggle between the two cities in the historical development process created the best script in history: a war of words over a canal.
As the time entered the 20th century, the conflict between the two cities intensified due to football. Now suddenly the location of a technology town was added, which caused a headache for the British senior officials.
These two candidate cities suddenly disrupted the British high-level plan to position a technology town. The two cities can be said to be unwilling to give in to each other. Moreover, the two cities’ votes in parliament and their own strength are almost the same; in the end, there is no way but to retreat.
The next step is to establish technology towns in two cities.
The conflict was barely settled, but this was by no means what the British top brass wanted to see. However, the matter was a foregone conclusion and no one could change it.
After the United States and the Soviet Union announced the establishment of technology towns, the British also announced the establishment of two technology towns in Liverpool and Manchester.
Seeing this situation, of course other countries cannot lag behind. The French have an inherent romanticism. Now that the UK has established two technological towns at once, the French feel that their strength is no weaker than that of the British. Therefore, they quickly passed a resolution to build two technological towns in Marseille and the suburbs of Paris.
By building two technological towns, the French can indeed be proud of the British in this era.
Different from its inaction during World War II, France directly withdrew from NATO during the de Gaulle administration. All domestic weapons and equipment are basically self-produced, which has led to many high-tech and military-industrial enterprises in the country. The French may have the strength to establish a technology town alone.
, and they are all very reluctant. Now that two companies have been established at once, it is difficult to develop, and the outcome is already doomed.
The Germans are very pragmatic in this regard and know their own strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, they established a technology town in the Ruhr area and even brought Switzerland together.
The industry in the Ruhr area was the material basis for Germany to launch two world wars. After the war, it played a major role in West Germany's economic recovery and economic take-off. Its industrial output once accounted for 40% of the country's total. It still plays a decisive role in the German economy.
Status. The outstanding feature of the Ruhr Industrial Area is that it
The industrial zone started with the coal mining industry. With the comprehensive utilization of coal, coking, electric power, coal chemistry and other industries have been vigorously developed, which has promoted the development of the steel and chemical industries. With a large amount of steel, chemical products and sufficient electricity supply,
On this basis, the machinery manufacturing industry was established and developed.
The Germans just want to add some modern industries to the original foundation, and they also want to strengthen in the fields of CNC machine tools and mechanical instruments. This is one of the reasons why Switzerland is attracted. The potential and strength of the two countries combined cannot be underestimated.
.
Seeing the behavior of the Germans, Bao Zixuan knew that this was a strong enemy. The Germans were too pragmatic and were not blinded by economic development and domestic technological foundation. They were a terrible opponent. Now it seemed that they could only think of something in East Germany.
way.
The reunification of the two Germanys is the general trend, and no one can stop it. However, if the layout in East Germany is successful, Germany's development will definitely not be so smooth. It seems that we must be prepared in advance.
After France and Germany announced the establishment of science and technology towns, the Japanese also announced the construction of a technology town in Fukushima and Daban. Japanese companies also refused to accept everyone, and in the end they could only settle for the second best. And at this time, domestic
The real estate market is booming. In Japan, which has a very small land area, it is difficult for a city to allocate much land.
After the Japanese announced the construction of technology towns, other countries around the world also announced their own technology town plans.
Of course, these are mainly Western developed countries. Countries and regions with poor technology do not have such confidence and strength.
China has also discussed the issue of science and technology towns, but the country does not have the foundation to build science and technology towns. Reform and opening up has just begun to make some progress, and the economic situation and scientific and technological strength do not have the conditions for the establishment of science and technology towns.
However, the Arabs are very thoughtful, especially when Israel announced the establishment of a technology town in Tel Aviv. This greatly stung the nerves of the Arabs, so Saudi Arabia decided to build a technology town based on the technology of the ground-effect aircraft factory.
Saudi Arabia, which has a lot of money, announced that as long as there are high-tech companies willing to come over, any conditions can be negotiated. Not to mention that it has actually had a certain effect. Seeing how powerful Saudi Arabia is, many small businesses in the West want to come over and take advantage.
Some companies with technology have really developed with the support of Saudi Arabia's huge funds. Of course, more companies come to defraud money. At this time, Saudi Arabia does not care about so many companies. As long as there are companies coming, it must not be compared to the Jews.
Go down.
Because of the promotion of Bao Zixuan, Israel has attracted many chip companies to settle in the world. Jewish capital has absolutely no say in the economic control of many companies. Rather than establishing a technology town in Tel Aviv, it is better to establish a chip production and R&D base.
It is appropriate because most internal companies are engaged in chip production and research and development.
