Chapter 563 The establishment of Hong Kong Polytechnic
On the third day, March 4, Wang Zhiqun once again came to Yang Wendong’s office in Changxing Building;
"Yang Sheng, I have compiled the information on the development of LED light technology." Wang Zhiqun gave the information to his boss, and then continued: "LED light technology was discovered in 1900, and what was discovered at that time was yellow. But it’s very dark, not suitable for lighting;
In the following decades, scientists from all over the world discovered red and infrared colors one after another, but these brightnesses were still too low and could only be developed in some electronic industries, such as prompts and alarms;
If you want to use it for normal light bulbs, the technology, brightness and cost are all too far apart. ”
"Well, what about the fluorescent lamp?" Yang Wendong asked again.
Yang Wendong is not very familiar with the development history of LED, but he remembers that in his previous life, it only became popular in the mainland at the beginning of the 21st century; it is probably impossible to develop this technology now.
But maybe fluorescent lamps can be used. This thing became popular in the mainland when he was a child, that is, in the 1990s, and it must have been earlier in other developed countries;
Although fluorescent lamps are not as soft as LEDs, they are much better than light bulbs. They not only protect the eyes, but also have huge potential in saving energy.
Wang Zhiqun said: "Fluorescent lamps are also called fluorescent lamps. They contain phosphors inside. These phosphors are made to emit visible light through a special method. This technology has already appeared in 1938, but the cost is extremely high;
In the past few decades, many companies in Europe and the United States have done a lot of research and improvements in the field of fluorescent lamps. Both costs and power saving have been improved. However, in terms of cost performance, they are still not as good as the simplest incandescent lamps. ”
"So which companies in the world are currently stronger in the field of fluorescent lamps?" Yang Wendong asked.
Wang Zhiqun replied: "It should be GE in the United States, and Philips in Europe. I heard that Japan has also done research, but the results seem to be inferior to Europe and the United States."
Yang Wendong nodded and said: "Okay, I will continue to pay attention to the technological progress in this area abroad. In addition, Honor Electronics has also established a lighting business department within the company to specialize in the research of various lights, including LED and fluorescent lamps;
< br>
If the technology is not good for the time being, we can introduce some technology from Europe and the United States. Not to mention surpassing Europe and the United States in the future, but in Asia, it must have a certain level. Even if it can only be produced, that is still good. ”
The research and development of this type of technology belongs to basic industrial technology and is relatively difficult. However, Honor Electronics is now considered a relatively famous electronics company in Asia. Excluding several major Japanese giants, the top few are about the same;
When it develops to a certain level, any large company will have to develop in the direction of research and development, especially if it is positioned as a high-tech company.
Also, in the future, when I want to make game consoles and computers, out of social responsibility, I have to do some research on light sources. Otherwise, the light emitted by the game console will be uncomfortable for the eyes for a long time, which may also cause very serious consequences. For the consequences of children's eyes, it is not said that it can be protected, but at least excessive damage must be avoided.
Wang Zhiqun replied: "Yang Sheng, production is not a big problem. As for research and development, Hong Kong has too few talents in this area. I think it is better to build research centers in Europe and the United States, and then send some Hong Kong people there appropriately."
"Okay, this method is indeed a very compromise." Yang Wendong nodded in agreement;
Hong Kong's electronic technology industry has developed quite well in recent years, but the core is still production. As for research and development, except for Honor Electronics, other companies have almost zero. At most, they may also do some research and development in the area of production technology.
For some R&D and even improvements with some technical content, Honor mainly entrusts overseas R&D bases.
Wang Zhiqun said: "Yes, it can only be like this for a short time, but now it is gradually getting better. The first is that I have sent a large number of technical personnel to study in Europe and the United States, and they will gradually come back in one or two years;
The second is that I also select high-quality students in the university, sign binding contracts with them, and then send them to European and American universities to study for postgraduate studies. They can come back in two to three years, and the number is hundreds;
These people are the foundation of our group's R&D industry in the future. As long as they develop well, then at least our group will have some modern electronic R&D capabilities in Hong Kong. In addition, I am also poaching people. As Hong Kong's economy develops and the political situation stabilizes , many Europeans and Americans are not opposed to settling and working in Hong Kong for a period of time. ”
"Okay, let's continue in this regard. Although the cost is a bit higher, the benefits will be greater in the long run." Yang Wendong nodded and said.
In the future, electronic products such as game consoles, computers, portable music players, etc. will require a lot of technical personnel to study. Even if one of them succeeds, the future benefits will be huge;
For example, the minesweeper game on the computer may not be very profitable in a short period of time, but this kind of game can continue to be profitable for many years. In the future, when every computer is available, even if a computer charges 10 cents, it will be able to make money. Easily covers today’s expenses;
Of course, whether it can be used on every computer is a question. After all, even if Windows appears in Hong Kong, it is unlikely to become the only system in the world. However, there is more than one kind of game. If there are more games, it will definitely be able to recover costs and even make a profit economically.
Wang Zhiqun said: "Okay, Yang Sheng, there is another thing. The Hong Kong government is planning to promote a polytechnic. This may also be our opportunity. Let the Hong Kong government bear the cost of social training. This is better than cultivating it ourselves. Much stronger.”
"Polytechnic?" Yang Wendong thought for a while and said, "Yes, we can contact the Hong Kong government to see if we can expand the scale of this college. If we want to develop industry, we must have enough science and engineering talents, and even real estate and finance. Same.”
"Learn mathematics, physics, and chemistry, and you will not be afraid of traveling around the world." This sentence is a classic saying after the mainland was reformed in the previous life. Its meaning is absolutely accurate. Mathematics, physics, and chemistry are the foundation of everything. Modern industry, civilization, and even agriculture require mathematics and physics. Chemicalization;
In the past life, the importance of English was sometimes more important than mathematics, physics, and chemistry in the later stages of reform in the Mainland. The premise was that the popularization of quality education allowed too many people to understand basic mathematics, physics, and chemistry, which made it worthless; but if a place wants to develop, then Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry must be mastered by all employees, and academic qualifications may even be devalued. When graduate students go out to deliver food, it seems sad to individuals, but from a national level, it can be seen that the academic quality of all employees is strong.
Historically, the Hong Kong Polytechnic should have been established in 1972, but now due to Yang Wendong's interference, Hong Kong's industry is much more developed than in the past, so it is normal for this college to be born early;
After the 1970s, the British Hong Kong government began to seriously manage Hong Kong, intending to restore the empire's former glory in Asia. It was also happy to see the rapid development of Hong Kong's industry. Furthermore, British capital in Hong Kong controlled too much infrastructure, and Chinese capital controlled too much. The more powerful the factory, the more they can collect money while lying down.
"Okay." Wang Zhiqun said with a smile.
The planning of the Hong Kong Polytechnic is of great significance to the entire Changxing Group. Not only Honor Electronics, but also Changxing Industrial, Changxing Finance, Shipping and even Watsons all need a large number of engineering and science talents. Even Wall Street, for the top mathematics department Geniuses are also willing to pay high prices to hire them.
This incident has also become a high-profile news in the Hong Kong market. The Hong Kong business community is also looking forward to polytechnics because many factories need talents in this field. Without talents, it is difficult to make progress. This is also the consensus of many factory owners. Especially now that the real estate market is strong, many capable people have switched jobs from factories to the real estate industry.
Organizations such as the Chinese Manufacturers' Association of Hong Kong have actively supported the establishment and development of the Polytechnic, providing the school with funding, equipment and other assistance. Changxing Group, as the largest industrial giant in Hong Kong, naturally also participated and donated 1 million Hong Kong dollars, and also promises to recruit more than 200 graduates in polytechnics every year in the future, provide internship opportunities, etc.
Let students who enter the college and their parents know that after graduation, they can have stable, high-income jobs, and encourage them to enroll in school. This is beneficial to the Hong Kong government, schools, student families, and many factories in Hong Kong. of.
With the promotion of all parties, in mid-March, the Hong Kong government announced that the "Hong Kong Polytechnic" was officially established and the first batch of enrollment will be held in September this year.
On March 17, Yang Wendong was invited by the Hong Kong Governor Dai Linzhi and came to the Hong Kong Governor’s House;
"Mr. Governor of Hong Kong, congratulations." Yang Wendong smiled and said after seeing Hong Kong Governor Dai Linzhi: "You can continue to be in charge of Hong Kong for more than a year."
Dai Linzhi's term was originally about to end in the middle of this year, but for some reason, the British side has not been able to find the next suitable person. Maybe he also wants to become the governor of Hong Kong, which is much more difficult than before;
The first is that Great Britain has much higher hopes for Hong Kong than before, and naturally hopes for a political strongman to manage Hong Kong;
The second is the rise of Chinese capital in Hong Kong, which poses omnipresent challenges to British capital. However, from a political perspective, the British Hong Kong government can no longer directly intervene in such matters. It must use political wisdom to protect the interests of British capital in Hong Kong;
The third is that if there are various changes in the north of Hong Kong, especially after the conflict with polar bears, Western countries will have some changes in the mainland;
There were so many problems here that the time traveler Yang Wendong couldn't figure it out, and at the same time, he didn't want to get involved.
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
As the new governor of Hong Kong has not yet been elected, Dai Linzhi will naturally need to stay in office for a while.
"It's only been more than a year, and I have to leave sooner or later." Dai Linzhi smiled and said: "The future of Hong Kong still lies in the hands of people like Yang Sheng, no matter who is the governor of Hong Kong."
< br>
Although I don’t want to see it, the fact is that Chinese capital led by Yang Wendong has become a huge threat to British capital in Hong Kong;
Fortunately, Yang Wendong's core industry is export. There are not many industries that compete with Hong Kong's local British giants. Real estate is not something that anyone does. In other aspects, it is only a container port.
"I just hope that Hong Kong can develop better." Yang Wendong smiled and said: "Mr. Governor, are you calling me here because of the port auction that is about to start at the end of the month?"
After the success of its first container terminal, Hong Kong Ying immediately launched multiple port terminals and restricted a consortium to participate in only one to avoid being a dominant player;
But you have Zhang Liang's plan. I have a wall and ladder, so I can't do it openly. Then I can also gather other Chinese capital to participate, or let Hutchison Whampoa, which is indirectly controlled by me, participate, and then I can acquire Hutchison Whampoa later. It's back to your own hands.
"The port can just bid normally. Whoever gets it depends on his own ability. The Hong Kong government will not interfere." Dai Linzhi shook his head and said.
Although the British in Hong Kong want to protect British capital, in today's political environment, it is impossible for the Hong Kong government to violate regulations and protect British capital. If it happens again in 1967, then they, the British, will really have to get out.
Yang Wendong said: "That's because the Hung Hom Tunnel will be opened to traffic next month."
In 1967, he seized the opportunity. In addition to hoarding land and buying some British capital at the bottom, the other two businesses were the port and the Hung Hom Tunnel;
Although this tunnel itself is not profitable because it is a public infrastructure, and the fares need to be negotiated with the Hong Kong government, it also allows Changxing Infrastructure to control the core economic lifeline of Hong Kong. At the same time, the large areas of land on both sides of the tunnel entrance will be extremely valuable in the future;
However, the construction of the tunnel is even slower than that of the pier. It was not completed until the beginning of this year, then tested, and it was not opened to traffic until next month.
"No." Dai Linzhi smiled and said, "That's right. The Hong Kong government is planning to invite some consortiums in Hong Kong to participate in a large number of charitable public construction projects."
