Chapter 225 Infrastructure Planning and Construction Center
In fact, almost everyone in the upper echelons of the Lighthouse Country knew that Baffert had a close relationship with the Rothsfeld family.
To put it bluntly, this is no secret.
As the saying goes, there is no airtight wall in the world, especially secrets that can affect the direction of the entire world. It is impossible for the outside world to have no news at all.
For example, on the Internet, news about the Rothsfeld family and a mysterious organization has been circulating for a long time.
It's just that this matter can only be treated as a rumor or urban legend, and it is impossible to get solid approval from any reliable channels.
There will be no real insiders suddenly telling everyone: Yes, these things are true.
So everyone is making wild guesses or even making up nonsense, making these families and the organizations they belong to so magical that they are almost equal to the aliens who rule Blue Star.
But having said that, although it is blown out of proportion now, the energy controlled by this organization is indeed very powerful, and it is unimaginably powerful for ordinary people.
Not to mention anything else, all the major media groups in Blue Star are actually under the control of this mysterious organization, and its influence is almost all over the world.
Even China, which is subject to strict controls, has been penetrated quite deeply.
This is called media dominance.
One thing to say, this is still very useful. It can control the wind and rain in Blue Star. Except for a few countries that can resist this powerful energy of public opinion, most countries are helpless.
Whichever country this mysterious organization wants to bring misfortune to, it can probably succeed, and the success rate is extremely high.
Bill Gass is different from Baffert in that his relationship with a large family like the Rothschilds is not that close and his contacts are not that close.
Compared with the current head of the Rothfeld family, Gass can only be regarded as a younger brother. If he wants to meet Mr. Rolffeld, he still needs Baffert's vision.
Baffert thought about it for a while and finally agreed.
Putting aside the relationship between Baffert and Gass, no matter what, he had to give Gass a little face.
Of course, in the eyes of the Rothsfeld family, the Gass family is nothing. At most, it can only be regarded as a newcomer to the big family, a little better than Ajian Marat.
More importantly, Bill Gass has nothing to do with the squid people.
This is a big obstacle for Gase to continue to move up.
Gus is certainly aware of this major disadvantage, but he doesn't seem interested in joining the Squid Clan, 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 after thinking about it, Hu Jiangshan always felt weird.
What on earth did Bill Gass do here?
Could it be that we really just chatted with him, Hu Jiangshan, about everyday things and nothing more?
Although Gass just said that he wanted to discuss cooperation with Hu Jiangshan, he never made it clear which project he would cooperate on.
The words were vague and foggy.
Hu Jiangshan even felt that Gass was not ready at all. He just thought of it at the last minute.
In fact, this is very possible. Although Bill Gass is a big shot, a technology tycoon, a super entrepreneur, and the former richest man of Blue Star, it stands to reason that he will be very organized in doing things, but Gass is also a human being, and he must have improvised ideas. When something unexpected happens, it is impossible 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. Gass probably regretted selling Tenglong Island.
This was also foreseeable by Hu Jiangshan.
As long as Gass 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 hadn't sold, 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 an individual can do, no matter how rich he is, he cannot do it.
Because if you really want to build a desalination facility, the input and output are not proportional.
Too much money is invested, and the fresh water produced cannot be sold and can only be used for personal use. This is simply not cost-effective.
The key point is that it is useless to have seawater desalination facilities. Even if you bite the bullet and build it, you must have enough power supply to operate it.
Wind power and solar power are definitely not possible.
This requires two large facilities to meet the requirements, and it is not even something that can be done with money. It requires a lot of core technology.
Now only a very few countries in Blue Star can do this, and 99% of the countries don't even have the technology.
But Hu Jiangshan did it, which will definitely shock and puzzle Bill Gass, who doesn't understand how Hu Jiangshan did it.
Not to mention, the ecological recovery speed of Tenglong Bay is so fast that Bill Gass may not even be able to digest such a huge amount of information.
Hu Jiangshan estimated that Gass would definitely suspect that there was some big force behind Hu Jiangshan.
You might even think that Hu Jiangshan is a white glove.
Of course, Hu Jiangshan is not looking down on Bill Gass.
Although Gass is now retired and living a leisurely life as a wandering cloud and wild crane, anyone who knows this person will know that it is only on the surface.
I'm afraid only he himself knows what Gass is actually doing.
Gass is a very capable person. He can do nothing but make a sound, make a big splash, and has super strong action. Otherwise, it would be impossible to turn Microsoft into a world-class dominant enterprise.
So if Gass really wants to work on a project, he needs to talk to Hu Jiangshan. Maybe Hu Jiangshan really wants to hear what he has to say.
Of course, Hu Jiangshan would most likely refuse to cooperate with Gass, because Hu Jiangshan did not believe that an upper-level figure in the Lighthouse Country would have any good intentions for 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 benefits of an island with a bay. It has a protective net. The sea breeze will weaken a lot and become very gentle, making people feel very comfortable.
In addition, Tenglong Island is a large outlying island. Even if a large typhoon comes, it will not be a problem. At most, it will be more windy and rainy.
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 before, the production line factory on Tenglong Island is at the foot of the extinct volcano on the West Island. It is even more secretive than the production line factory on Jiangjun Island. Hu Jiangshan walked for a while to get there.
At this time, Zhang Rui was having 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's meeting was over, Hu Jiangshan called Zhang Rui into the conference room to chat for a while, mainly asking about the recent progress of the production line.
As mentioned before, the current production line on Tenglong Island mainly produces Huayao Shengteng 910 chips. In fact, the difficulty is not as high as that of Kirin 9000S.
Zhang Rui reported to Hu Jiangshan that everything is going smoothly now, and more than 100,000 Shengteng 910s have been produced.
The quantity sounds small, and the production line is not operating at full capacity. Only 30% of the production capacity is open. It can be said that it is just a trial production mode.
Moreover, Shengteng 910 is an artificial intelligence computing chip. Currently, the industry does not have such high demand. These 100,000 chips can actually meet Huayao's current sales needs. After all, there is only one major customer of HKUST Feixun. However, this is only temporary. Huayao's future plans are very ambitious, not only to sell artificial intelligence computing chips to the outside world, but also to use them themselves.
Wang Chengdong and Hu Jiangshan had talked about Huayao's plan before.
Huayao plans to build an artificial intelligence computing center, which requires a huge investment and will deploy a large number of Ascend series computing cards. The demand for the first phase may be hundreds of thousands or even millions of Ascend computing cards.
You must know that an Ascend computing power card requires not just one Ascend 910 chip, but multiple ones.
It may be three chips, or it may be five. Anyway, the demand in the future will be very large, so the yield rate of the production line on Tenglong Island needs to be improved as soon as possible, and it will be improved when the demand increases. It's late.
Zhang Rui said: "Boss, the yield rate of the production line here has reached 82%. We have already evaluated it and there should be room for further improvement. If we are given another month to improve, we should be able to improve it." to 85 percent or even higher.”
Hu Jiangshan nodded: "Dr. Zhang, you are doing a good job, and there is no need to be under too much pressure. The Shengteng 910 does not have such a large production demand, so there is no need to rush."
Zhang Rui was stunned for a moment: "Boss, then..."
Hu Jiangshan held out two fingers: "Two months, I'll give you two months to raise the yield rate to 85%, which will be considered as meeting the standard."
Zhang Ruixi smiled broadly and nodded. One month turned into two months, and the pressure was indeed much less.
"Okay, boss, I understand."
Hu Jiangshan said: "Next, I will devote some of my energy to the office building on Tenglong Island and plan the office area. It doesn't matter if everyone's workstation is a little wider. The place is big anyway, but don't waste it too much. Other space It will be useful in the future.”
Zhang Rui agreed. Although he didn't know what Hu Jiangshan's future plans were, he must be very ambitious.
Zhang Rui is now completely convinced by Hu Jiangshan, and even other members of the team admire this young boss very much.
It feels like Hu Jiangshan has accomplished all the difficult things with ease, which is very magical.
Not to mention that the chips produced here are the most advanced in all Blue Stars, which is a miracle in itself.
After the two chatted, Hu Jiangshan asked Zhang Rui to go and get busy.
Hu Jiangshan came out of the production line factory, looked at the extinct volcano behind him, and then climbed up it by accident.
In fact, there is no way up at all, but there is no vegetation here, and the slope is not steep, so in theory it is not too strenuous to climb up.
But Hu Jiangshan miscalculated. Halfway up the mountain, Hu Jiangshan couldn't climb anymore.
Hu Jiangshan's health is still not good, he lacks exercise.
Hu Jiangshan looked down at the west island of Tenglong Island and saw large tracts of open space.
The East Island has more open space than the West Island. Although there is vegetation, it is in the minority, so there is a lot of space to build facilities.
There is one thing to say, that is, Hu Jiangshan has no such plan, otherwise turning Tenglong Island into a tourist island would definitely be the most perfect and suitable plan.
After all, the ecological environment restoration of Tenglong Bay has begun to bear fruit. As long as it takes a few months, it will definitely be beautiful.
Now is the Internet age. As long as you do a little promotion on the mainland's Internet, you will definitely attract a group of mainland tourists to come and check in.
As long as the first batch of tourists come, word of mouth will spread back and more tourists will come.
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 rates can be higher.
It is close to the mainland, has a better environment, beautiful scenery, and the travel experience may even be better than that of Madai.
In any case, it is better to repair the road network on the island first, so as to facilitate the subsequent development.
Only with asphalt roads can electric commuter vehicles travel more easily. Otherwise, even if commuter vehicles are transported to the island, their range of activities will be very limited.
But building the road network on Tenglong Island is a big project.
Tenglong Island is different from Jiangjun Island. It is several times larger than Jiangjun Island.
The cost of getting to nearby islands is already very high. Needless to say, for Tenglong Island, the cost of road construction will definitely be doubled several times, or even more.
After all, the larger the scale, the higher the cost will be.
Hu Jiangshan's cash flow is still very tight now, and he can only spend 20 to 30 million Hong Kong dollars at full budget.
No matter how much money is saved, it is still difficult to build roads on Tenglong Island.
And Hu Jiangshan can't spend all his money here.
Fortunately, Huayao's next batch of payment should be coming in soon, and Huaxin International's payment for the purchase of semiconductor materials will also be in place. By then, Hu Jiangshan will be much more comfortable.
At this moment, Hu Jiangshan suddenly heard a special effect sound.
"bite!"
Hu Jiangshan was startled, and his heart moved. He hadn't heard this voice for a long time. It was so clear, sweet, and gratifying.
Boron Jiangshan quickly took out his mobile phone and looked at the screen. Sure enough, there was a new message from the "Technology Engine" APP.
[If you find new clues, please check back in time]
It had been a long time since a new facility had been discovered, and now it was finally here, which made Hu Jiangshan very excited.
Hu Jiangshan quickly opened it to see what kind of facility it was.
[Clue]: Infrastructure Planning and Construction Center
[Level]: Junior
[Minimum required area]: 5000 square meters
[Construction period]: 15 days
[Capital investment]: 12 million Hong Kong dollars
Hu Jiangshan felt happy when he saw the name of the clue.
You really get what you want!
The Center for Infrastructure Planning and Construction can, of course, design and build infrastructure.
There are many types of so-called infrastructure, including roads and docks.
This is exactly what Hu Jiangshan needs.
Hu Jiangshan looked at the construction conditions of the facility and found that it actually required 5,000 square meters. No wonder no clues about such a facility were found on Jiangjun Island. The area requirement is really too high.
It requires a construction cost of 12 million Hong Kong dollars and a construction period of 15 days.
It's a bit expensive, but worth it.
Hu Jiangshan decisively clicked "confirm construction".
Construction conditions have begun to be tested.
