The China Banking Regulatory Commission has approved foreign legal person banks to enter China, and Bank of Cronos is one of them.
Koronos Bank is a bank established by Li Zetian in China. Because of Li Zetian's wealth and reputation, Chinese people trust Koronos Bank very fast, and the depositors increase very fast. At present, Cronos Bank has basically completed its layout in first-tier cities in China, and has begun to set foot in second-tier cities.
There is a branch of Cronos Bank in Hangzhou.
Therefore, Li Zetian asked Koronos Bank to borrow money from the Hangzhou government.
Building a city brain requires building a lot of infrastructure, so it takes a lot of money.
At the moment, Li Zetian first sent someone to investigate and calculate the budget.
A week later, when the budget came out, Li Zetian came to Colonos Bank.
The head of the Hangzhou branch of the Bank of Cronos is a native of Hangzhou. His name is Li Chuan. He is 42 years old. He graduated with an MBA from Harvard University and is tall. He used to work in the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. to Cronos Industries.
In the president's office, Li Zetian said to Li Chuan, "The budget of the city brain may be 20 to 30 billion yuan. Li Chuan, how much money do you think Koronos Bank can borrow from the Hangzhou government?"
Li Chuan frowned and replied, "Mr. Li, 20 to 30 billion RMB is too much! Although Hangzhou is a well-developed city, many cities are now heavily indebted, and Hangzhou will have such problems in the future."
Li Zetian asked again, "In your opinion, how much is appropriate to borrow?"
"Below 5 billion yuan."
Li Chuan thought for a while and said, "Mr. Li, the city brain is too large, and it is very difficult and expensive to promote it comprehensively. I think we might as well find a place as a pilot to see how the city brain works. If If it's good, the Hangzhou government will find a way to come up with the money to do this."
Hearing this, Li Zetian couldn't help but nodded, feeling that Li Chuan's suggestion was good.
Li Chuan continued: "In this way, the scale is smaller, and the cost of capital is also sharply reduced, and it is also effective. The urban brain project can be completed in a very short period of time!"
"Well, your suggestion is very good. I'll talk to the government right now."
After that, Li Zetian said goodbye.
Along the way, Li Zetian couldn't help but reflect and muttered to himself: "Why didn't I think of doing a pilot first? Damn, maybe it's because he is too rich and too ambitious, which has caused his arrogant and indomitable character right now..."
Before you know it, the car arrives at the city hall.
Li Zetian went directly to the mayor's office and immediately told him about the pilot.
"Mayor, I thought about it, Hangzhou is a big city, and it is difficult for the city brain project to be carried out smoothly, and we have no experience in this area, so we might as well choose a place for the pilot, so that we can spend money There are also fewer projects, and the projects are carried out quickly. At the same time, we can also see how the city brain works.”
After Li Zetian finished speaking, the mayor nodded immediately, "Well, step by step, it's very stable, I agree!"
"Mayor, which place do you think is suitable as a pilot?" Li Zetian asked.
"Xiaoshan!" The mayor knew Hangzhou well, and then introduced to Li Zetian in detail, "Xiaoshan is a district under the jurisdiction of Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province. It is only separated by a river from the main urban area of Hangzhou, with a total land area of 1420.22 square kilometers, and its comprehensive strength ranks among the top. No. 1 among all counties (cities, districts) in Zhejiang, it has been rated as 'Top Ten Counties in China' for many consecutive years, and has won the 'No. 1 Investment Place in Mainland China' for many times. , the richest man in Zhejiang's economy, a leisure resort in Zhejiang, and a paradise for people's livelihood in Zhejiang'!"
Li Zetian nodded, "Well, Xiaoshan is really good. It seems that it is indeed suitable as a pilot... OK, then Xiaoshan!"
"Mr. Li, now that the plan has changed, what about the loan you promised to do?" the mayor asked.
Li Zetian said with a smile: "The pilot requires less funds, and once the pilot is successful, the entire Hangzhou will carry out the urban brain program. Therefore, my commitment remains unchanged. However, large loans will only be borrowed when Hangzhou is fully renovated. To the government. You know, the money's going to go to the program."
"Alright!" The mayor laughed. It would be nice if he could borrow money.
…
After the plan was changed, Koronos Bank borrowed 2 billion yuan from the Hangzhou government. Of course, 2 billion yuan is nothing. In fact, the Hangzhou government is also very rich. If it is only to build the urban brain plan in the pilot project of Xiaoshan, the Hangzhou government can solve it on its own. But who thinks too much money? With more money, the government can carry out more projects and increase Hangzhou's GDP, which is of great benefit to officials' promotion in the future.
Soon, the City Brain Project was officially launched in Xiaoshan. Li Zetian arranged for Koronos Industries (China) and Koronos Bank to oversee the Hangzhou government and the progress of the City Brain Project.
It is common for Chinese officials to embezzle funds, eat, drink, and embezzle. Therefore, supervision is essential.
Of course, Li Zetian also knows that China's national conditions are such that there are always corrupt officials at work, but supervision can still play a role. But then again, it's not up to him. Li Zetian just lends money to the government, how the government uses it is the government's business... What Li Zetian hopes is to promote the smooth progress of the urban brain project.
…
…
On the morning of January 1, 2007, it was sunny.
Li Zetian held a press conference together with the leaders of the Hangzhou Municipal Government. At the press conference, the city brain plan was announced to the public.
In fact, Li Zetian wanted to do it secretly, and then report it when it was successful.
This is not a sound, it is a blockbuster, shocking enough.
However, as everyone knows, to cooperate with the government, what does the government want? Fame! Achievement!
The City Brain Project, just hearing the name makes me feel like it's going to blow up the sky, can the government let the plan hide
Li Zetian could only push the boat along the way and promised them to publicize the city brain plan.
As soon as the news came out, as expected, China, and even the whole world, was a sensation! ! !
After the press conference, Li Zetian read the comments on the Internet. Damn, the comment area was very lively.
"Damn it, it's shocking! City brains? Let artificial intelligence help the government manage the city!! Do you want to blow up the sky like this, in the future, will artificial intelligence rule the earth?!"
"Yeah, it's so unsafe, if artificial intelligence produces wisdom, it will enslave human beings!!!"
"I was shocked after seeing this news! Artificial intelligence manages the city? First of all, I don't say whether it can be realized technically, but I will give Chronos Li and the Hangzhou government 10,000 likes for this idea. Artificial intelligence technology will definitely To improve the quality of life in cities, those netizens who say that artificial intelligence rules and enslave human beings, you are really worrying! How can artificial intelligence produce wisdom? They are just codes and can only follow orders!"
"Hehe, with the current artificial intelligence technology, it is absolutely impossible for artificial intelligence to generate wisdom! Maybe decades or hundreds of years later, artificial intelligence will really generate wisdom, but that's my business, I am so dead. up."
