this man is not calm

Chapter 450: Spread of Influence
The biggest obstacle lies in the distribution of benefits.

Currently, there are about seven million mobile phone users, while the number of PHS users has exceeded 80 million and is heading towards 100 million. The scale of the two is not on the same level.

However, the market potential of the two cannot be simply compared by the number of users.

Those who can afford a mobile phone are likely to be able to buy a computer, get broadband, and pay the high Internet fees;

But Xiaolingtong users are not so generous. Not to mention computers costing thousands or tens of thousands, they are probably reluctant to spend on mainstream mobile phones that cost around 5,000 yuan. Jinxi Mall does have super cheap Mercury 2nd generation mobile phones during the New Year promotion, which can be bought for more than 3,000 yuan with a full discount, but the quantity is limited for a limited time purchase. There are not many group purchases in Jinxi chat shopping groups, so it is impossible to meet the needs of everyone.

In a short period of time, the advantages of Xiaolingtong and Jinxi Chat are difficult to suppress. When Jin Shang goes to seek cooperation, he actually has a slight advantage.

"The key is the in-depth cooperation between Jinxi Chat and Fetion. The ability to receive messages from each other is a prerequisite. It would be even better if the account data can be linked and connected to surrounding applications such as music, video, games and social networking sites. We will try our best. If not, we won't force it..."

“How is the SMS exchange charge calculated?”

"We still insist on one-way charging. We don't care whether the other party charges two-way charging. However, we will try to unify the standards of SMS packages to facilitate the expansion of user groups and attract more urban white-collar workers and business elites to join."

Nowadays, most of the strong communication needs are for work purposes, and individuals and families are not yet wealthy enough to use mobile phones to transmit daily messages.

If you have something important to say, a landline is probably enough.

"If this is the premise, then there is still room for negotiation."

After thinking about it, Yang Qi agreed with Jin Shang's judgment. He then looked at Liu Yanqing, the head of the product department, who also had no objection.

The decision was made. As long as Liu Yanqing could agree on the basic framework of the cooperation before her wedding leave next month, the rest would be left to the employees below to implement.

With Jin Shang and Hao Qilian reaching a preliminary agreement, the project progressed quickly.

The general strategy is to focus on three-year cooperation. If both parties have no objection, the contract will be automatically renewed for two years after the expiration.

We will talk about the details of what the situation will be in five years.

After such a long time, I don’t know what changes will happen. By that time, I don’t even know whether Jinxi Chat and Fetion will still be there, or whether they will be the same as they are now.

But one thing is certain, the cooperation between the two parties now is carried out with the intention of taking advantage of the other party, and the purpose of compromise is to compete better.

Whether the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind, depends on their respective abilities.

After the Lantern Festival, the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival completely fades away.

The plan for the year starts with spring, and the plan for the day starts with the morning. This year's New Year's Day is unusually early, resulting in gusts of cold air moving south after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, adding a bit of chill to the capital.

Although there was no rain or snow, the temperature was really low. Water and ice could be seen on the road in the morning and evening. Hardworking people took out their down jackets and put them on.

February 14th, Saturday, is Western Valentine's Day. Some businesses want to hype up the concept and hold promotions to sell goods, but it is unknown how effective it will be. Judging from the flow of people in the commercial street, it seems to be unremarkable.

Young people like to give each other cakes, chocolates and other things, and everyone likes it. After all, they are sweets and naturally suit their appetite. But to say how popular it is is probably an overstatement.

Throughout the year, we are busy celebrating local festivals, so how can we have the time to care about foreign festivals?

The weather was a little better at noon, and Jin Shang met his second uncle Zhang Hua who came to the capital and chatted about some things.

The two came to the data center park along the river bank of Majiabao, which has changed a lot. The internal and external windbreaks and ecological forests have been planted, and the seedlings have grown some new buds. The strong sun in the past few days warmed up the bamboo and willows, making them feel like all things are sprouting. But now they are suppressed by the late spring cold, but their ability to resist cold and stress is good. They are just growing slowly now, not stopping growing.

Following the center of the park, there is a canal that draws water from the Liangshui River. There are several small pools on the edge, surrounded by flowing river water. It can appropriately reduce the degree of salinization in the area, alleviate heavy metal enrichment, and speed up land management.

In order to monitor the surrounding water quality and issue early warnings, a batch of grass carp and crucian carp were released into the pond. Because there were no competitors, they grew very fast in the past six months.

In principle, eating it is not allowed for fear of affecting health, but the old farmers nearby don't care and come to fish or catch fish from time to time. After several attempts to control it and seeing no effect, they no longer insisted and just put up a few warning signs.

Later, it seemed that the fish were fine to eat and tasted pretty good, so the commotion died down.

After passing the warning area, Zhang Hua frowned slightly and looked at the wind turbine that was turning in the distance. The noise of wind blowing the blades and the generator turning came over, one after another. It was okay if it was short-lived, but it became a bit uncomfortable if it lasted for a long time.

"very noisy!"

"This is a blade made of special materials and with new technology, so the noise is very low. The old-fashioned wind turbines have a big impact even two kilometers away, especially at night, affecting sleep."

At present, the average installation price of each wind turbine in this area is more than seven million yuan, which is definitely worth its price. It is hard to say whether it is world-leading, but it is definitely the result of top-level excellent science and technology.

For this large wind farm that is about to be connected to the grid, the noise that a person can feel if they are 200 meters away is roughly equivalent to several people talking at a normal volume nearby. After 500 meters, there will not be much impact.

How is it possible to deploy large wind farms in remote urban areas without considering these issues?

Every penny must be invested in key areas.

There are two rows of more than 30 wind turbines arranged along the corner of the river bank. The installed capacity is amazing, but considering the unstable characteristics of wind power, it is basically difficult to maintain high-load operation for a long time.

In comparison, the scale of photovoltaic power stations is much larger.

As for which one has higher power generation efficiency, it depends on the timing and location, and cannot be generalized.

Outside the wind farm is a riverside road with two rows of street lights and small solar cell panels mounted on them. Outside is a windbreak belt, and outside that is a photovoltaic power station. Next to it is an integrated agricultural and photovoltaic breeding area, a septic tank, a biogas tank, a sewage treatment plant, a paper mill, a hydrolysis and fermentation workshop, a gas storage station, a charging station, a substation, etc.

The above-mentioned working areas are surrounded by a drinking water channel connected to several small pools and wrapped in a layer of fast-growing forest land, which will isolate all possible noise pollution, odor spread and radiation hazards.

Five hundred meters away is the top priority - the data center, flexible DC power and smart city energy processing center.

This is the capital city. If you want to "do something big", you have to think carefully and take all aspects into consideration.

New energy street lights have been installed, and there is a large parking lot and a large sports park with a small football field, basketball court and tennis court, as well as an indoor heated swimming pool nearby. They are fan-shaped and spread outward, so that schools, kindergartens, hospitals, department stores, residential areas and other places farther away are away from the influence of noise and odor.

"These are... yours?"

"Most of them are. For the others that don't belong to me, my opinion should also be considered. For example, if a private school or a shopping center is built too far away from the residential area, or the direction of the gate is changed, the impact will be huge..."

"I understand!"

The value of land and real estate is related to the land and real estate itself, but more importantly, it is related to the surrounding facilities.

There is a large commercial plaza and a crematorium nearby. The prices of the surrounding properties are very different, one is in the sky and the other is underground. They are completely not on the same level, even though the construction quality is similar.

"Urban planning is a systematic project, and development must be done step by step. Although such a large area is difficult to develop, it must first have industries, employment, taxation and consumption before each unit in the business map can be filled step by step."

It is unknown what happened in the previous life, but the development of the capital in this life is not particularly balanced. Apart from the central urban area, the north and southeast have benefited the most from expansion as they are closer to water sources. It is not surprising that the northeastern resource areas and seaports developed first. The west and south are either mountains or poor brothers around the capital. There have been no major changes, and it is difficult to have a leapfrog development.

In recent years, thanks to the opening of the north-south transportation artery and the "vegetable basket project", small handicraft industries in western Beijing have begun to show signs of rising, especially the priority pilot projects of IT Internet, which have injected new vitality.

As for the south, there is really nothing special about it. Locals think there is nothing good to be praised. Compared with other districts, the economy is backward, development is difficult, and there is no profit growth point. Even Jin Shang did not want to invest here at first. He even went to a farther place to invest in a hop planting base and build a small handicraft manufacturing center, which was better than struggling in such a mediocre place.

Fortunately, after careful investigation, it was found that there are not many areas with dense wind vents and photovoltaic resources in the Gyeonggi region, and even fewer worth developing. The area near Liangshui River in Majiabao received a rating of "so-so, not bad", so the first large-scale data center was decided to be settled there.

At least the distance is close, so it is convenient to look after.

There were originally few inhabitants in the area near the river, and it used to be a relatively backward factory area. Development had been difficult to implement after the relocation, so Jin Shang got a bargain.

A few scattered small villages quickly gave up their houses and several vegetable plots under the promised conditions of "high compensation" and "reconstruction discounts".

If we really want to be strict, it is hard to say how much of the money belongs to them. Now they can just take the money and leave, and everyone thinks they have made a profit.

Not to mention the far-fetched ideas, the current debugging has been basically completed, and the grid connection is the last step. After that, the city power grid will trade electricity with the data center park in a flexible electricity price model.

The last round of tests will be completed next week. After the grid is connected, the city power grid will buy a huge amount of electricity for one month at a standard price of 0.21 yuan per kilowatt-hour, especially during the peak daytime electricity consumption, in consideration of the surge in electricity consumption at the start of the New Year.

Based on the current test results, power engineers have drawn up power generation and load curves, as well as a series of indicator results. Most of them are still incomprehensible to Jin, but professional technicians can arrange gas-fired generators and large-capacity energy storage batteries to perform peak shaving and valley filling according to their characteristics, stabilize the output of electricity, and prevent fluctuations.

The urban power grid also distributes power transmission and distribution demands based on this indicator. After the smart city flexible DC system with data center as the core meets the requirements, it receives sufficient compensation. It is a win-win or multi-win situation and no one suffers.

After explaining for a while, second uncle Zhang Hua roughly understood how Jin Shang used this place.

After entering the park office, the whistling sound of the wind outside finally stopped.

“The soundproofing is good.”

Jin Shang smiled and responded:
"If there is no protection in this place, it will be unbearable after a long time. Besides, it's not all bad. For photovoltaic power stations, driving away birds is a very troublesome thing. It can't be done manually. Wind turbines... can scare them away."

Cleaning photovoltaic panels is not easy. If there are many birds pecking at them or bird droppings fall on the photovoltaic panels, it will damage the equipment over time.

"So...how is your breeding center?"

"It's OK! First, it's far away and there are soundproof materials to absorb energy. Second, the cattle and sheep have more or less adapted to it over time. When the wind turbine was first tested, the livestock had a loss of appetite, but it has improved a lot now."

"That's good!"

Zhang Hua breathed a sigh of relief. His nephew had finally gotten ready to try his hand at agriculture and animal husbandry. If he stopped investing more because of a bad start, it would not be a good thing for Glacier Trade.

“How about an agro-photovoltaic complementary plant factory?”

"It's not bad! In the past six months, we have basically maintained a certain income by growing off-season vegetables. We don't make much money, but it's quite important. Many grassroots cadres in charge of people's livelihood have come to inspect us, and the response has been good."

“Only relying on growing vegetables?”

"I have also tried growing edible fungi and medicinal herbs. The former is okay, but as for the latter... I only have some success with golden thread vine."

After Jin Shang pondered for a while, he added hopefully,

"The process is going well. We have selected several high-value crops. In addition, I am also thinking about whether to cultivate seeds and seedlings as a second focus. Selling vegetables alone is not very interesting. After all, the space is limited. If we really want to expand and become stronger, we might as well raise pigs in buildings."

"Seeds, seedlings, calves, piglets, chicks?"

Zhang Hua agreed after hearing this.

"That's one way! I checked the seeds and small livestock you sent before the New Year. They are all good and there are no major problems."

"That's good! How about sea rice? Is that okay too?"

"It's so-so, but it's more reliable than the products I have... and the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. How did you breed them? It seems to be very efficient."

How can it not be efficient?

The "Golden Finger" is much more reliable than conventional means.

The biggest problem with sea rice is not its stress resistance and yield, but its stability and consistency.

Generally speaking, the breeding of new crop varieties, except for genetic modification, is basically carried out through hybridization and selection. The main means is to breed in large quantities, select the best from the best, pick out the traits that meet the requirements, and stabilize them into new subspecies.

But the reality is that the superior varieties selected often have problems in the second or third generation.

To make an inappropriate analogy, a group of calico cats are carefully selected with the intention of having their offspring be calico. However, it turns out that their offspring often have impure fur color, and may even produce tabby cats, orange cats or some other breeds.

If it were just a harmless trait like coat color, it would be fine, but the key is that sea rice is a crop that concentrates the superior genes of several varieties. Because of excessive hybridization, the mixture is impure, and their offspring are more likely to revert to their ancestral home or undergo drastic changes.

This requires experts to cultivate through generations, exchanging time for space, eliminating individuals containing impurities or useless genes from the total gene pool, and ultimately achieving complete domestication and cultivating crop varieties that fully meet the requirements.

The cultivation of truly excellent and stable new varieties often takes 10 to 20 years to complete, and the golden period of research and development for an agricultural expert is only that long.

This line of work is dull and uninteresting, filled with all sorts of unexpected events and setbacks. If you are not careful, half a lifetime of hard work will go to waste. Ordinary people often only remember the successful heroes, but fail to pay attention to the countless people who contribute silently behind the scenes.

At the beginning, Jin Shang did not realize that his "golden broom" only accelerated growth and prevented side effects. It was only later that he came to his senses.

No matter how well this agricultural-photovoltaic complementary base is built, it will only be so-so. But if a groundbreaking new agricultural and animal husbandry variety is really cultivated, the patent fees will be huge. Even if it is not a super crop that changes the world, a superior variety with a little bit of characteristics will be amazing.

Raising livestock cubs is just a trial run; domesticating sea rice is an important step. This thing is indeed quite unpalatable and its yield is average, but it can grow on heavily saline-alkali land, and this advantage alone makes it worth developing vigorously.

Not to mention far away, just the Jiaodong Peninsula in the south has a total of about 10 million acres of saline-alkali land. If such a large area could be used to grow sea rice, it would be amazing.

If people don't like to eat it, it can be eaten by livestock, right? If that doesn't work, it can be used as a material for bioenergy.

In Julunpo, the hometown of my second uncle Zhang Hua, the area of ​​saline-alkali land is almost as large as that of the Jiaodong Peninsula, and there are also many areas in Jiangsu and Zhejiang and the Northwest that need to be managed.

"Its cold resistance needs to be improved, but its salt and alkali resistance is indeed very practical and has some commercial value. I plan to find a place near the mouth of the Yellow River to test its effect first."

Mouth of the Yellow River?
That must be near Dongying!

No matter in the past life or in this life, the areas along rivers and the sea are severely affected by salinization. If there is a way to turn those lands into treasures, it would be a great thing with immeasurable merits.

Sea rice is actually not a new thing. It was launched more than ten years ago, but the progress has not been smooth.

In fact, if you think about it, it makes sense. The natural evolution of a new subspecies takes at least hundreds or thousands of years and dozens of generations of alienation. If artificial intervention of ten or twenty years can produce a good result, it is already pretty good.

And Jin Shang's "golden finger" seems to be able to effectively speed up this process, which is wonderful.
