Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 225 Infrastructure Planning and Construction Center

In fact, almost everyone in the upper echelons of the Lighthouse Country knows that the Baffert and Rothfeld families have a close relationship.

To be frank, this is no secret.

As the saying goes, there is no wall that is impenetrable, especially when it comes to secrets that can affect the direction of the entire world, it is impossible for the outside world to have no knowledge of them at all.

For example, news about the Rothfeld family and a mysterious organization has been circulating on the Internet for a long time.

However, this matter can only be regarded as a rumor or urban legend, and it is impossible to get any confirmation from any reliable channel.

There will never be a real insider who suddenly tells everyone: Yes, these things are true.

So everyone was guessing, or even making up stories, making these families and their organizations sound so magical that they were almost equivalent to the aliens who ruled the blue planet.

But having said that, even though it is being exaggerated now, the power held by this organization is indeed very strong, so strong that it is hard for ordinary people to imagine.

Apart from anything else, the major media groups across the Blue Planet are actually all under the control of this mysterious organization, and their influence spreads almost all over the world.

Even China, a country with strict controls, has been deeply infiltrated.

This is what is called media dominance.

To be honest, this is still very useful. It can make things happen on the blue planet. Except for a few countries that can resist this powerful public opinion energy, most countries are helpless.

If this mysterious organization wants to bring misfortune to a country, it will most likely succeed, with a very high success rate.

Bill Gates is different from Baffert. He does not have such a close relationship with big families like the Rothfeld family, and his interactions with them are not that frequent.

Compared with the current head of the Rothfeld family, Geis can only be regarded as a younger brother. If he wants to meet Mr. Rothfeld, he still needs Baffert's vision.

Bafott thought about it and finally agreed.

Regardless of the relationship between Baffert and Gass, he had to give Gass a little face no matter what.

Of course, in the eyes of the Rothfeld family, the Gass family is nothing. At most, it can be regarded as a newcomer among the big families, slightly stronger than Ajiang Marat.

More importantly, Bill Gates has nothing to do with the squid people.

This is a major obstacle for Gass to move forward.

Gus is certainly aware of this major disadvantage, but he doesn't seem interested in joining the squid tribe, at least for the time being.

At the same time, Tenglong Island.

Hu Jiangshan finally breathed a sigh of relief after sending the Gass family away.

But Hu Jiangshan thought about it and always felt something was strange.

What on earth is Bill Gates doing here?
Was it really just a casual chat with Hu Jiangshan and some random things?
Although Gais just said that he wanted to discuss cooperation with Hu Jiangshan, he never made it clear from beginning to end which project they wanted to cooperate on.

It's vague and confusing.

Hu Jiangshan even felt that Gais was not prepared at all, and he had come up with this idea on a whim.

In fact, this is very possible. Although Bill Gates is a big shot, a technology tycoon, a super entrepreneur, and the former richest man on Blue Planet, he should be very organized in doing things, but Gates is also a human being. He must have temporary ideas and wild ideas. It is impossible for him to make a complete plan before doing anything.

Hu Jiangshan could even see that Gass and his daughter Catherine were fascinated by the scenery of Tenglong Island, and Gass probably regretted selling Tenglong Island.

This was also something Hu Jiangshan could foresee.

As long as Gus comes back to take a look, especially when he sees the changes in Tenglong Bay, he will definitely regret selling Tenglong Island.

But then again, if Gass didn't sell, he wouldn't have been able to do what Hu Jiangshan did, especially the feat of building a desalination plant on Tenglong Island.

This alone is not something that one person can do, no matter how rich you are.

Because if you really want to build a seawater desalination facility, the input and output will not be proportional.

Too much money is invested, and the fresh water produced cannot be sold and can only be used by the individual. This is extremely uneconomical.

The key point is that desalination facilities alone are useless. Even if they are built with gritted teeth, there must be sufficient electricity supply to operate them.

Wind power and solar power generation definitely won’t work.

This requires two large facilities to meet the requirements, which is not something that can be achieved even with money; it requires a large amount of core technology.

Now only a very small number of countries on Blue Planet can handle these things, and 99% of countries do not even have the technology.

But Hu Jiangshan managed it, which would definitely shock and confuse Bill Gates, who would not understand how Hu Jiangshan did it.

Not to mention, the ecological recovery of Tenglong Bay is so fast that Bill Gates may not even be able to digest such a huge amount of information.

Hu Jiangshan estimated that Geis would definitely suspect that there was some powerful force supporting Hu Jiangshan.

Some people even think that Hu Jiangshan is a white glove.

Of course, Hu Jiangshan is not underestimating Bill Gates.

Although Gass is now retired and leading a leisurely life, anyone who knows him will know that it is only on the surface.

What Gais is actually doing, perhaps only he himself knows.

Gates is a very capable person. If he doesn't make a name for himself, he will make a big splash. He is also very proactive, otherwise he would not have been able to build Microsoft into a world-class dominant company.

So if Gates really wants to start a project, he should talk to Hu Jiangshan, and Hu Jiangshan might really want to hear him talk.

Of course, Hu Jiangshan would most likely refuse to cooperate with Geiss, because Hu Jiangshan did not believe that a top figure in the Beacon Country would have any good intentions towards China.

Hu Jiangshan sat on the large terrace on the second floor of the villa for a while, drank two glasses of red wine alone, and enjoyed the sea breeze of Tenglong Bay.

This is one of the great advantages of an island with a bay. It is like having a layer of protection. The sea breeze will be weakened a lot, becoming very gentle, making people feel very comfortable.

In addition, Tenglong Island is a large outlying island, so even if a large typhoon comes, nothing will happen, at most the wind and rain will be stronger.

This villa is so comfortable that Hu Jiangshan wants to stay here for two days.

Then, Hu Jiangshan left the villa and went to the Tenglong Island semiconductor production line factory.

As mentioned earlier, the production line factory on Tenglong Island is at the foot of the extinct volcano on Xi Island. It is even more hidden than the production line factory on Jiangjun Island. It took Hu Jiangshan a long time to get there.

At this time, Zhang Rui was holding a meeting with the core members of the team in the conference room. Hu Jiangshan did not disturb them, but walked around the production line control center.

After Zhang Rui and his colleagues finished their meeting, Hu Jiangshan called Zhang Rui to the conference room to chat for a while, mainly asking about the recent progress of the production line.

As mentioned before, the production line on Tenglong Island currently mainly produces the Huayao Shengteng 910 chip, which is actually not as difficult as the Kirin 9000S.

Zhang Rui reported to Hu Jiangshan that everything was going smoothly and more than 910 Ascend s had been produced.

The number doesn't sound like much, and the production line is not running at full capacity, with only 30% of the production capacity open. It can be said that it is just a trial production mode.

Moreover, the Ascend 910 is an artificial intelligence computing chip. Currently, the industry does not have such a high demand. These chips can actually meet Huayao's current sales needs. After all, there is only one major customer, Keda Feixun. However, this is only temporary. Huayao's future plans are very ambitious. It will not only sell artificial intelligence computing chips to the outside world, but also use them for itself.

Wang Chengdong and Hu Jiangshan had discussed Huayao’s plans before.

Huayao plans to build an artificial intelligence computing center, which requires huge investment and the deployment of a large number of Ascend series computing power cards. The first phase of demand may require hundreds of thousands or even millions of Ascend computing power cards.

You should know that a Ascend computing power card does not only need one Ascend 910 chip, but multiple ones.

It could be three chips, or it could be five. In any case, the demand will be very large in the future, so the production line yield on Tenglong Island needs to be improved as soon as possible. It will be too late to improve it when the demand increases.

Zhang Rui said, "Boss, the yield rate of the production line here has reached 82%. We have evaluated it and there should be room for further improvement. If you give us another month to improve it, it should be able to reach 85%, or even higher."

Hu Jiangshan nodded and said, "Dr. Zhang, you have done a great job. There is no need to be too stressed. The production demand for Ascend 910 is not that great yet. There is no need to rush."

Zhang Rui was stunned for a moment: "Boss, then..."

Hu Jiangshan held up two fingers and said, "Two months. I'll give you two months. If you can raise the yield rate to 85%, it will be up to standard."

Zhang Rui smiled happily and nodded. As one month turned into two months, the pressure was indeed much less.

"Okay, boss, I understand."

Hu Jiangshan said: "Next, we will devote some energy to the office building of Tenglong Island and plan the office area. It doesn't matter if everyone's workstation is a little spacious. Anyway, the place is large now, but don't waste too much. The other space will be useful in the future."

Zhang Rui agreed. Although he didn't know what Hu Jiangshan's future plans were, he believed that they must be very grand.

Zhang Rui is now completely convinced of Hu Jiangshan, and even other members of the team admire this young boss very much.

It feels like no matter how difficult the task is, Hu Jiangshan can accomplish it easily, it's magical.

Not to mention that the chips produced here are the most advanced in the entire Blue Star, which is a miracle in itself.

After the two finished chatting, Hu Jiangshan asked Zhang Rui to get busy.

Hu Jiangshan came out of the production line building, looked at the extinct volcano behind him, and then climbed up it as if possessed.

In fact, there is no way up at all, but there is not much vegetation here and the slope is not steep, so theoretically it is not difficult to climb.

But Hu Jiangshan miscalculated. When he reached halfway up the mountain, he could no longer climb.

Hu Jiangshan's health is still not good as he lacks exercise.

Hu Jiangshan looked down at the west island of Tenglong Island and saw large areas of open space.

There is more open space on the East Island than on the West Island. Although there is vegetation, it is a minority, so there is plenty of space for building facilities.

To be honest, Hu Jiangshan has no such plan, otherwise turning Tenglong Island into a tourist island would definitely be the most perfect and suitable solution.

After all, the ecological environment restoration of Tenglong Bay has achieved initial results. In just a few months, it will surely be beautiful.

Now is the Internet age. As long as we do a little publicity on the mainland’s Internet, we will definitely attract a group of mainland tourists to check in.

As long as the first batch of tourists arrive, word of mouth will spread and attract more tourists.

Of course, it is also necessary to build a hotel on Tenglong Island. Once it is built, it will be a cash cow and the room rate can be higher.

It is close to the mainland, the environment is good, the scenery is beautiful, and the travel experience may even be better than that of Maldives.

In any case, we should repair the road network on the island first, so as to facilitate the subsequent development.

With asphalt roads, electric commuter vehicles can travel conveniently. Otherwise, even if the commuter vehicles are transported to the island, their range of movement will be very limited.

But building a road network on Tenglong Island is a huge project.

Tenglong Island is very different from Jiangjun Island. It is several times larger than Jiangjun Island.

The cost of building a road to Jindao Island is already very high, not to mention Tenglong Island. The road construction funds will definitely need to be multiplied several times, or even more.

After all, the larger the scale, the cost will increase exponentially.

Hu Jiangshan's cash flow is still quite tight now, and at most he can only come up with 20 to 30 million Hong Kong dollars.

No matter how much money is saved, it is still difficult to build a road on Tenglong Island.

Besides, Hu Jiangshan can't spend all his money here.

Fortunately, the next batch of payments from Huayao should be coming in soon, and the payment for the purchase of semiconductor materials from Huaxin International will also be in place. By then, Hu Jiangshan will have much more financial resources.

At this moment, Hu Jiangshan suddenly heard a special effect sound.

"Ding!"

Hu Jiangshan was stunned and his heart moved. He hadn't heard this sound for a long time. It was so crisp and pleasant, which made him happy.

Bang Jiangshan quickly took out his mobile phone and looked at the screen. Sure enough, the "Technology Engine" APP sent a new message.

[New clues found, please check in time]

It has been a long time since any new facilities were discovered, and now there is finally one, which makes Hu Jiangshan very excited.

Hu Jiangshan quickly opened it to see what kind of facilities it was.

【Clue】: Infrastructure Planning and Construction Center

[Level]: Junior
[Minimum required area]: 5000 square meters

【Construction period】: 15 days

【Capital Investment】: 1200 million Hong Kong dollars

Hu Jiangshan was delighted when he saw the name of the clue.

Whatever you want comes true!
The Infrastructure Planning and Construction Center can, of course, design and build infrastructure.

There are many types of so-called infrastructure, roads and docks should all be counted.

This is exactly what Hu Jiangshan needs.

Hu Jiangshan looked at the construction conditions of the facility and found that it would take 5,000 square meters. No wonder no clues of such a facility were found on Jiangjun Island. The area required was too high.
The construction cost is HK$12 million and takes 15 days.

It's a bit expensive, but worth it.

Hu Jiangshan decisively clicked "Confirm to build".

Testing of construction conditions has begun.
