In name only: The land of Handong, I shall rule its fate.

Quiet!

Lin Zhiyuan tapped the table again, forcefully suppressing the commotion below.

"Secondly, science and technology innovation enclaves."

Leveraging the province's unique collaborative advantages, we will gradually form a science and technology innovation enclave model that connects "province-wide R&D with Chuzhou mass production".

We need to commercialize the research results from Hanbei, and we need to mass-produce the research findings from Hannan.

Furthermore, it connects with universities both within and outside Handong, such as Nanjing University, and overseas talents, to establish four types of innovation platforms:

1. Semiconductor Electronic Chemicals Research Institute;

2. Innovation Center for Automotive PCB and Computing Hardware;

3. Carbon fiber lightweight equipment laboratory;

4. New Energy Battery Supporting Technology R&D Center.

The breathing of the crowd grew heavier; this was the place where Chuzhou was about to become the province's processing plant for Handong.

Although it's hard-earned money, it's still a lot of money!

"The third point is the hub economy."

Transforming multimodal transport (road, rail, water, and air) into a core competitive advantage for Chuzhou's industries is crucial. While Chuzhou Port currently boasts the highest inland container throughput in the province, it merely serves as a basic logistics hub. This isn't what we truly aim for; a multimodal transport hub connecting Handong, Donghai, and the central part of the Shanghai-Hangzhou triangle—a supporting port for the industry—is the real goal.

1. Dedicated industrial wharf near the port;

2. Bonded warehousing for combined road, rail, and water transport;

3. The Grand Canal Industrial Economic Belt;

4. Integration of cross-border e-commerce and manufacturing.

This includes, but is not limited to, the four points mentioned above.

Article 4, Data Center.

It has been upgraded from a regular computer room to a green computing hub and an industrial internet service center.

Since the establishment of the first phase of the communication call center server room in 06, multiple server rooms and data centers have been established, which is also an unparalleled advantage unique in the province.

We can provide digitization services to factories in neighboring cities and even neighboring provinces:

For example, building green and low-carbon computing power clusters, supporting industrial internet platforms, and attracting foreign cloud service providers can also enable local production of computing power hardware, forming a small closed-loop development circle of digital infrastructure encompassing "data center—boards—energy storage."

Lin Zhiyuan continued without pausing:

"The fifth point, which is also an additional factor I have chosen for the economic development of Chuzhou, is artificial intelligence."

I believe everyone is familiar with this concept, or has encountered it in movies, TV shows, or popular science articles.

To be honest, it's very difficult to achieve significant progress with the current level of technology, but we can make a long-term plan, a plan built on the fourth data center.

With the maturity of neural network deep learning technology, the accuracy of image recognition has skyrocketed. The key point is that for the first time, it relies on GPU graphics cards to accelerate computing, no longer relying solely on the CPU. However, this also places new demands on the layout of the computer room.

Following the current development path of artificial intelligence, it is inevitable to train a large number of GPU clusters, which will significantly increase the power consumption of a single rack, and current new data centers cannot meet the demand.

Therefore, I divided it into two stages: weak intelligence and strong intelligence.

Let's leave strong intelligence aside for now.

Weak AI can only perform single tasks and lacks a thought-integration model; it's more like an alternative search engine, but it still has endless commercial potential.

Examples include facial recognition, surveillance image recognition, text OCR, industrial quality inspection AI, chatbots, drawing AI, speech-to-text conversion, and model inference computing power.

"As for strong intelligence..."

Lin Zhiyuan stopped abruptly, his gaze calmly sweeping over everyone. "I've told you the secrets to Chuzhou's wealth. If you want them, go find them."

His words were plain and uneventful, yet they swept over everyone's hearts like the most violent storm.

What's the biggest fear in business? Not finding your direction.

But today, and now, Lin Zhiyuan has completely laid out Chuzhou's development plan for the next few years, or even more than a decade.

You can sit here.

Each of them is well-off, but they either already have a large market share in the industry or the market is already saturated. They are more eager than anyone else to find a new niche.

A cake that, backed by the municipal or even provincial government, is enough for them to eat their fill.

The meeting is over!

After Lin Zhiyuan uttered the last two words, these so-called entrepreneurs were asked to leave again by the staff.

"Executive Director Lin, aren't we letting them off too easily?"

Sun Haiping pursed his lips tightly.

In his view, not punishing them was already an enormous act of leniency; it would be more appropriate to throw some bait at them and let them fight tooth and nail.

"Cheap?"

Lin Zhiyuan's lips curled into a cold smile. "There's no such thing as a free lunch. What's free is often the most expensive."

"They either depended on or compromised with the Chen family, and they reaped so much benefit from Chuzhou and its people. Of course, they should be made to give it all back, willingly, thinking they have made a profit, but in reality, they are giving back to the people."

"Because the city government is short of money?"

Cheng Jingtao seemed to be deep in thought.

A lot of funds in Chuzhou are currently tied up in projects, and even in the pockets of Chen, Yao, and Lin, but since they haven't been sentenced yet, the money is unlikely to be recovered.

"You can't use money like that."

Lin Zhiyuan advised, "Government money should be used wisely and for the benefit of the people rather than for personal gain. For projects like this that require huge investments and large-scale spending, let them pay for them and return any ill-gotten gains or even their savings."

"But what if it works..."

Sun Haiping still has concerns.

These are all genuine industrial clusters worth hundreds of billions of yuan, which are crucial to the future of Chuzhou.

Whoever controls these industries will have a place in Chuzhou's future.

"The process of creating something from nothing is chaotic, disorderly, and driven by natural selection. It is a process of building, destroying, and monitoring. We can stand from the perspective of an observer and select the truly suitable entrepreneurs for the people."

"Those who are unrighteous and heartless..."

"Handong is not just Chuzhou, and the country is not just Handong. Those seasoned enterprises will enter the market on time. The bloody moments of market competition are not only in the development zone, but also before the decisive dawn."

His words, spoken softly, carried an overwhelming sense of bloodshed.

The five people standing next to Lin Zhiyuan, including Tian Guofu, all shuddered.

Fear surged in Tian Guofu's eyes.

He seemed to finally understand the gap between himself and his opponent! He finally understood why he always suffered a crushing defeat!

"Comrades Haiping and Jingtao, you haven't had a liaison officer yet since you came to Chuzhou, have you? There are two interesting young men in the Municipal Office. Why don't you let Comrade Chusheng introduce you to them?"

"Get to work as soon as possible."

Lin Zhiyuan suddenly said something.

"Yes, Executive Director Lin."

The three of them quickly agreed.

Song Chusheng felt even more envious; a chubby little boy and a little girl had caught the eye of Executive Director Lin.

"Secretary Guofu, would you like to take a walk with me?"

Lin Zhiyuan turned his head and asked.

"Extremely happy to."

Tian Guofu paused for a moment, then flashed a familiar, formulaic smile. "How about we go check it out at the Municipal Public Security Bureau?"
