this man is not calm

Chapter 430 Timing
After drinking some wine, the slightly tipsy Jin Shang pretended to be tired and didn't understand, so he fooled people.

After eating and drinking, Jin Shang called his family to report his safety. After a quick wash, he went to bed early.

The next morning, after breakfast, Jin Shang and Qi Zhaoyun sat in the hotel lobby lounge drinking tea. Looking at the city street scene outside the glass window, he couldn't help but sigh:
"It's a strange city. The light rail runs in the sky, the subway passes through high-rise buildings, the boat runs on the bridge, and people travel uphill or downhill. Modernization and old decay go hand in hand, and busy people and idle street urchins live in peace. It has preserved local characteristics and integrated various cultural traditions from all over the world. I heard that this is one of the cities with the most ethnic minorities. It's hard to imagine that a large county town built on an uneven hilltop exudes the vitality of a modern city from the inside out..."

"The word 'energetic' is so accurate. We have all lived in Beijing for a long time and are used to the 'heaviness' of the capital. We are still a little uncomfortable with this less serious style."

"If I have to make a distinction, I still think that this is an atypical southern city, with a completely different flavor from central and eastern China."

Taking a sip of the fragrant tea, Jin Shang said sincerely,
"I didn't feel that way before, but now that I've seen more, I can clearly feel the difference between southerners and northerners. The differences in culture, dialects, and customs are secondary. The two have huge differences in their mental state, social positioning, and self-cognition. It's really not easy to force such a large area into a whole, to shape it into a country and a civilization."

The Internet, which spans time and space, is no less important to the vast Eastern land than the standardization of writing and railway standards. It can actually enable ethnic groups that have no direct contact for generations to communicate on one platform, interact with each other and eliminate misunderstandings.

An important part of infrastructure is power supply, erecting towers, installing antennas, and laying base stations. Whether people can pass through and goods can flow is another matter. We can no longer be put together as isolated islands as we did in the past.

As he glanced around, his focus fell on an iron box-shaped device hung on a pole with a special mark on it. It was a signal station installed for mobile phones, providing signals for the use of Xiaolingtong.

Following Jin Shang's gaze, Qi Zhaoyun also looked over there.

"It seems that the promotion here is quite good. The people of Yuzhou are quite tolerant and can quickly accept the birth of new things. I heard that the permanent population here has exceeded 21 million. Even if we can only capture 10% of the user market, it is still considerable. Perhaps, in the near future, we will receive a report that the number of Xiaolingtong users has exceeded 100 million."

The development speed of Xiaolingtong in this life is much faster than that of Starcom in the previous life. The key difference lies in the fact that Jinxi Culture is much stronger and dares to make large investments. It directly promotes it nationwide without sufficient market demonstration and small-scale pilot projects, and offers all-round discounts to attract users.

There is no need to slow down the growth rate for three years and reach the peak in five years. From the initiation of the project to now, it has only been more than a year, and we have completed the journey that our peers in the previous life took three to five years.

"This thing is a booming market where the fast fish eat the slow fish. When others are not aware of it, we will go all out and eat up almost all of the national market in less than two years. We will almost achieve our goal."

The mobile phone users, which had been developing steadily, have been slightly affected. Fortunately, there is not much overlap between mobile phone and PHS users, and the two are not mutually exclusive and can be compatible. In comparison, pagers, which still occupy a large market share, are like a skinny camel, much more powerful than a foal that has not yet grown up.

The prospects for voice broadcasting stations are already a bit bleak, but ordinary people and practitioners are still unable to fully appreciate the rapid decline of this industry. It is estimated that it will take another one or two years before there will be a significant market reaction.

"Boss Jin's vision is really sharp. He knows that this little thing can make a lot of money."

“I don’t know how many more years this business, which guarantees guaranteed profits regardless of weather conditions, can last.”

I hope Old Huang is in good health and lives a hundred years... No, I hope he lives to be one hundred and twenty years old. He can protect Young Master Jin for a few more years, and both sides will gain what they want.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Last night, Manager Ma wanted me to invest in Panda Technology. What do you think?"

"I'm not familiar with the place, and I haven't found the way out yet, so it's better not to mess around."

The business environment, whether promises can be fulfilled, preferential policies, human and material resources, educational resources, prices and wage levels are all criteria that need to be considered.

More importantly, there are Pizza Hut, WandaVision, Dolittle and the like everywhere, and it is still unknown whether they can accept Jin Shang and Jin Xi Culture to make money together.

It's easy to spend money, but hard to get it back.

There are many tricks to play, such as equal rights for equal shares, boards of directors, supervisory boards, third-party accounting firms, etc. Rules are only followed when both parties are evenly matched. Once the strength is unequal, the cost of breach of contract is not high, but the benefits are enviable, then it is hard to say how useful the so-called agreement and contract are.

"I really shouldn't have acted rashly. Panda Technology... doesn't have anything I absolutely need."

Go build cars now?

Apple can't succeed if it's missing any corner. Even if it invests hundreds of billions every year and burns for ten years, there's still no telling if it will succeed.

This is a bigger pit than building a wafer factory to make chips nowadays. People like Jin Shang who are incompetent should not get involved in it.

What, Panda Technology has a market value of only over 10 billion, and you can just grit your teeth and buy it?

Don’t be silly. When a certain company owed more than 2 trillion yuan, its market value was only more than 10 billion yuan. Who could buy it?
Do you really think that just because you hold shares in name, you are a shareholder with a say?

In the capital market, naivety has to have a limit.

What's more, the automobile industry is a key industry with wide ramifications, a very long upstream and downstream industrial chain, which drives the surrounding supporting industries and provides quite amazing employment. The phrase "this is a big deal" is not enough to describe its intricate conflicts of interest.

If this car factory really can't hold on and goes bankrupt and reorganizes, Jin Shang really doesn't mind moving its brand reputation, car manufacturing technology, factory machinery and skilled technicians to its old nest and rebuilding a new one.

Now, we have to wait a little longer.

"If the company is viewed as a sapling that is growing vigorously, then its base must be in Beijing, its roots must spread to the north and west, and its branches and leaves must extend to the south."

"Boss Jin's description is quite appropriate."

As a local tyrant in Gyeonggi Province, if you don't take root there, you will be abandoned and despised. So your roots should spread northward and westward because these places are rich in resources, sparsely populated and have little competitive pressure, which is conducive to absorbing sufficient mineral nutrients. The southern region has a developed economy and abundant vitality among the people, which is more suitable for doing business and making money, just like lush branches and leaves with abundant sunshine, which is just right for photosynthesis. You can make full use of the resources in the north and complete a whole internal cycle.

"In recent years, the heavy industry in the port cities around the Bohai Sea has become increasingly developed, especially near Pingzhou. The steel production capacity has soared to an extremely exaggerated level, and it has taken advantage of sea transportation..."

Take the Beijing Steel Plant as an example. Although it is located in the capital and is of great importance, this thing obviously benefits from large quantities and is very sensitive to costs. It is not yet at the point where producing one kilogram of steel is less than selling one kilogram of pork, but that is only a matter of time.

Iron ore and coal are transported from the port to Beijing, smelted and then transported to Pingzhou Port, shipped to the whole country and even the world. Just a few hundred kilometers of railway transportation, a round trip, means that the cost of Beijing steel mills has increased significantly, profits have dropped, and competitiveness has been weakened.

Listening to Jin Shang's story, in which he talked about the advantages and disadvantages of the large industrial factories in Beijing one by one, Qi Zhaoyun suddenly seemed to understand something.

"What Mr. Jin means is that as the urbanization of Beijing continues to advance, non-capital functions will continue to be evacuated to the surrounding areas. Industrial projects that are not essential to Beijing may not be the future development direction?"

"This is inevitable. Urbanization cannot expand indefinitely. When the tertiary industry accounts for more than 80 percent, Beijing will become a super city that integrates IDC, Internet technology, high-end services, finance, etc."

This is not deindustrialization, but the relocation of unnecessary concentrated production capacity. After all, the current water shortage in the northern region is real. There are no Great Lakes here, and the super fresh water resource North Sea is too far away.

In order to balance the north and the south, Jin Shang and Jin Xi Culture are constantly making efforts in the north to find new growth points, which is an extremely correct thing to do.

New energy, IT electronics, chip semiconductors, urban intensive ecological breeding, plant factories, waste recycling and reuse, data centers, service industries, high-end branding strategies, central business districts, large shopping malls, film and television entertainment, tourism real estate, finance and insurance, etc., do not have particularly high demands on water resources and geographical conditions, and are very suitable as supporting facilities for the capital.

It is likely that electrification and smart city concepts will be added in the future.

As for steel, metallurgy, coal chemical industry, and light handicraft industries with low added value, they will either be relocated to surrounding satellite cities or suburbs, or developed in the south.

As for other cities in the north, how they can give full play to their own advantages and complete industrial upgrading depends on their respective abilities.

Jin Shang now provides a comprehensive development model based on new energy, data centers, intelligent agriculture and animal husbandry, IT Internet, film and television entertainment, electronic games, consumer electronics, etc. Since everyone has no ideas, why not go down this path and give it a try?
As for Panda Technology, which has extended an olive branch, sorry, the timing is not right. Jin Shang's career focus has not yet shifted to the south, and Jinxi Culture, as a "sapling", is not strong enough to extend its tentacles so far.

Just as the two were chatting, Jin Shang's phone rang and he picked up the phone to answer it.

"Hey, are we almost there? Great, we'll be there soon..."

After hanging up the call, Jin Shang showed a relaxed smile and said to Qi Zhaoyun:
"The 'Water Bird' is almost here. We will meet up at the dock and then have a good time on this great river for two days."

"Then I'll take the TOEFL and take a ride on Mr. Jin's yacht."

I'm just going out for fun on business, definitely not to have a yacht party.

The Jinsha River section in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River has abundant fish resources. The spawning grounds of three typical sturgeons are all here. During the same period in the previous life, the white sturgeon and the Chinese sturgeon were basically nowhere to be seen, and only the Yangtze sturgeon was barely okay. The Baiji dolphin was hard to find and was in danger, and the Yangtze finless porpoise was also rarely seen.

A few hours later, Jin Shang stood on the yacht, looking down at the large school of fish gathering not far away, dyeing the water surface black, and couldn't help but sigh:
"The protective measures are working, but the damage caused by human activities is still too great, and I don't know how long they can last."

In this life, there have been endless arguments over various issues, including environmental protection, due to the delay of large-scale hydropower station projects in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

The migration route has not been interrupted, so these "living fossils" in the water still have a glimmer of hope, but it is hard to say what will happen in the future.

"I have always felt that the description of the theory of evolution, in which only the fittest survive, makes sense. However, it is a pity that species become extinct due to human factors."

Twenty or thirty years ago, fishing was much more severe than it is now, with two or three hundred thousand sturgeons of various kinds caught each year. Even the largest populations could not withstand such a tossing. In addition, various developments, such as sand mining on the riverbed, led to sudden changes in the environment, and many local species found it difficult to adapt for a while.

Among them, the Chinese sturgeon is the "king of fish in the Yangtze River" most likely to disappear, and the others will also be greatly affected.

Fortunately, since 1993, relevant departments have begun to take positive and effective measures to provide protection, stopping the trend of accelerated extinction. However, this is only a limited relief and does not solve the fundamental problem.

Jin Shang asked someone to bring up a large bucket of river water. It could be seen that there were many small fish including sturgeon fry in it. They would grow up while heading east to the sea. When they grow up, they would swim upstream and come back to breed.

"Can this thing be kept?"

Qi Zhaoyun, who understood the law, smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"There seems to be no successful cases of artificial breeding at present. The Yangtze sturgeon has barely achieved limited human intervention to promote natural reproduction. I have never heard of other cases. And in principle, private breeding of this thing is not allowed. If there are more than a certain number of fish, they will be held responsible."

"Then I can set up a zoo, an endangered animal protection center, or a public welfare biological research institute. Can you give it a try?"

"This...is not my expertise. I need to ask practitioners in this field and check the information and past cases."

"Then... forget it!"

Because of his "golden finger", Jin Shang will most likely be able to protect these endangered animals for a while, but what's the use?

The white sturgeon needs to be protected, but should the baiji dolphin be saved?
There are still some surviving Lop Nur tigers, South China tigers, and clouded leopards. Should we intervene in all of them?
If it rains, let it rain. If my mother wants to get married, let her get married.

The old will not go, and the new will not come!
Known and unknown animals and plants are disappearing all over the world every moment. How could Jin Shang have the time to care about it?

Limited human and material resources, especially the "golden finger" power, should benefit people, not these wild animals.

"I heard that there are artificially cultivated sturgeons in the north, which are imported from abroad. They are delicious. I will try them when I go back. They are really good. Let's raise a batch and use them as company welfare."

"I'll find out the situation and report back."

"Don't worry, these are all minor matters. When you go back, the content division has an investigation report. Go and study it. Jinxi Music, Jinxi Video, Jinxi Games, and Jinxi Library have counted a number of infringing peers. You are ready to sue. It's the end of the year again, and you have to make an example of them and deter a group of troublemakers who are jumping on the bandwagon but have no awareness of copyright."
