The Goddess Shines on America

For people in small towns in the Midwest, every visitor from the metropolises in the East and West is a "pretentious rich person".

Fortunately, Utah is not Idaho, and the acceptance of outsiders is still very strong. The latter is completely a holy place for Christians, with 40% Protestants and 30% Doomsday Christians occupying more than half of the world in the state, while atheists are only one-tenth. One can imagine what would happen if foreign students from the non-Christian world passed by by chance.

Utah is located in the northeast of California, separated by mountains from Nevada. Self-drivers can choose whether to take a trip to Las Vegas on their way to and from the West Coast. Here is dominated by the Rocky Mountains, the Colorado Plateau and the Great Salt Lake Desert. Eighty percent of the population of more than two million gathers in the capital Salt Lake City. One can imagine how desolate and lonely the outside world is.

At the foot of the Acre Mountains in the Rocky Mountains, there is a small city named Lakun with a total population of less than 3,000. Mining is the main source of income, and 60% of the city's male labor force is engaged in this occupation. Of course, in the Salt Lake Desert some distance from Rakun, there are also many military industrial bases, rocket engine factories and even uranium mines built during World War II, but that has nothing to do with them.

Alice-Wang's family came to this city all the way, and the heavy helicopter they brought with them flew into the sky immediately after being pulled out of the cargo hold of Boeing. At the foot of the vast forest and mountains, a small city stood alone on the plateau, and there was rarely a sufficient water system around it. It was just that countless complicated reasons piled up together, which prevented the small city from expanding for many years.

Naturally, the arrival of the family was warmly welcomed by the mayor, and also included the warm hospitality of a few entrepreneurs. As shown by the collected data, 99% of these entrepreneurs are large-scale mine owners, and some municipal officials introduced representatives of waterworks, power plants and other figures. Without even carefully reading their financial statements, at the dinner table, Sophie lightly scratched a number on Alice's thigh, which was the highest amount for buying the entire town.

"Our group is already very experienced in the operation of Changguan Electric Power and Water Conservancy Company." Alice said with a smile, "I personally hold a fairly high stake in the Hong Kong Electric Company, which is in charge of the operation of the entire Hong Kong Electric Power Company. Of course, the Water Conservancy Company is not a problem. Next. As long as I take over, I can definitely use the fastest speed to expand the infrastructure construction of Laken City by more than five times. In one project period, sir, I can make the power plant capable of providing electricity for 100,000 residents ability, not the current three thousand."

When discussing business with a local rich man, the most taboo thing is to completely take away his property. The reason why many of these people cling to one-third of an acre of land and refuse to enter the big cities no matter how much money they make is because of the rural concept. So at this time, they are often not impressed by a huge purchase fee, what they want to see is whether the outsider is doing practical things for the locals.

"That's why Ms. Wang hopes that we can quickly develop Laken into a big city." The mayor said unhurriedly to Flour: "But the increase in the number of people is closely related to the economy and employment. Our Laken city is currently The main industry is mining, you don’t want to create tens of thousands of mining workers in an instant, right? That will attract protests from the environmental protection department, haha.”

"For mining, of course we have to do what we can, unless we want to establish a large multinational company, haha, but that has nothing to do with the local population." Alice said: "Mayor, and everyone, you all Know where my main ability is. So my plan is to build our Rakun into an inland high-tech city, the population does not need to be large, but everyone is a famous intellectual, what do you think?"

As early as when they received the letter from Alice Building, everyone in the Laken City Government could guess Alice's idea, but of course it could only be part of it. The concept of an inland technological city is very clear to people in Silicon Valley, but it is too difficult for a group of industrial and mining owners at the foot of the mountain to understand.

"The Internet is developing at an extremely fast speed, there is no doubt about it? Just like Microsoft, it is just a pure technology company that occupies seven or eight buildings in Redmond City and does not have a factory directly under it, but its products are It can spread all over the world and has nothing to do with local transportation capabilities. Technology-based companies are like this. They are built on the basis of the increasingly developed Internet, and they can easily send products to the world regardless of local traffic conditions.”

"The geographical location of Rakun City is very bad. You understand this better than me. You are all locals. I believe I don't need to say anything about why this city has been dominated by mining for many years. Eighty percent of the residents of Utah are in Salt Lake City, you are backed by the Acre Mountains, although it is rare to have an area with green trees and abundant water, but you can only develop a small amount of animal husbandry and aquaculture, and the main economy must rely on mining.”

"So, here lies the problem. There are only so many local mineral deposits. Unless you don't consider the livelihood and employment of the next few decades and insist on digging out everything in one go, otherwise the local population can only be so large. .Even if you develop your business to a larger scale, as we said, you can only go to other places to find ore, and have nothing to do with the local people."

"So, mayor. If we really want to develop the economy on a large scale and increase the urban population in Laken, which has a worrying geographical location, taking the high-tech route is almost the only way. With the Internet, customers will not care about the registered address of the business Where is it, like my Cisco company is headquartered in San Jose, but its processing plants are spread all over the world, so it has something to do with San Jose's logistics and transportation capabilities?"

Silicon Valley upstarts from the west coast came to invest, and it was the famous young girl. It was hard to describe what the locals were thinking. Instinctively speaking, it should be full of suspicion and underestimation, but Alice is not the lucky one who just exploded from the stock market yesterday, and her ability has been proven by the world long ago. How can they speculate wildly?

Therefore, the banquet and talks that took the dust off the wind finally ended in a good atmosphere. Of course, Alice has no intention of impacting the local original industry. Although there will be a shareholding behavior, it will not directly seize the management rights of the original business owner. Her main site is in the technology sector.

Investment planning is simple.

First of all, since all the purposes are actually for the "hive", the power plant and the water conservancy company must still be fully acquired. Fortunately, these are all in the municipal field, so it is not difficult to talk about.

It is precisely because there are beehives underground that there must be industries with umbrellas on the ground, so a part-time scientific research hospital is essential. The hospital itself serves the residents and wins goodwill. What institutions like scientific research institutes need most is not convenient transportation, but a sound research environment. Alice is even thinking about whether to go to the Acre Mountains cover?

Copying a second Silicon Valley is completely superfluous. Considering the materials that the hive will need in the future, the production of technology product hardware is even more important. So here, what she needs is to let Draken invest in a high-tech industrial processing plant, such as Cisco, Intel, Nvidia, HP, IBM, or the electronic product subsidiary of the umbrella, which is produced nearby. It is used nearby, the product source and production channel are trustworthy and convenient to control, and it also contributes to the economic development of the local town.

Therefore, it is also necessary to establish an Internet-based company that promises to the mayor and others in order to win the trust of the people. In fact, this is really simple and reasonable. Although Silicon Valley is the holy land of the IT industry, there are really such companies all over the United States. After all, everything can be operated by the Internet. As long as Alice's related companies settle down, are you afraid that no programmers will come to apply for jobs or invest in starting a business?

"Mom, make preparations, let's invest in Kingston."

Alice said to Sophie in this way: "It happens that the two founders are both Chinese, so they must be easy to talk to. Now is the time to continue to expand the product line, so there is a great need for more processing plants, which are essential for computers. How can we not let them go to Laken to join in the fun."

"In terms of the added value of computer hardware... Indeed, it is worth it even if it is transported by plane, not to mention that when the economy develops, it is possible to build an intercontinental highway that goes directly to Salt Lake City. As expected of my daughter, she has a really good mind."

"Of course~"
