Zhao Yi stayed at Jishi Materials Company for nearly two weeks.
If it was just a matter of technical information, it wouldn't take that long. Instead, he would need to give the technical staff of Cornerstone Materials Company systematic training on the technical principles of microbial cultivation and the use of microorganisms for material preparation.
Microbial cultivation technology involves many biotechnologies, especially some undiscovered biological theories, which require Zhao Yi to personally train and explain and give them a good class.
The use of microorganisms for material preparation involves the preparation of special target microorganisms, as well as the technical methods and theories of related principles.
It can be said that these technologies are confidential technologies. Before the training, Zhao Yi took the list of technical personnel from the entire company, and then filtered them one by one with Zhou Ling to select technicians who were loyal, reliable, and had outstanding technical capabilities before starting. Training.
Of course, a stricter confidentiality agreement is indispensable. After all, if this technology is leaked, the impact will be great.
Not only will it cause economic losses, but it will also make Cornerstone Materials the target of hostile countries. It will be troublesome to use endless means to deal with Cornerstone Materials or himself.
After the training for these technical personnel was completed, they explained why several technical documents were designed in this way, what principles were used, etc., and the subsequent specific operations were left to them to complete by themselves.
Since Cornerstone Materials Company itself does not have many technicians with biology majors, several key players were transferred from the Qingnong Biological Laboratory at the beginning.
Let these technicians with a background in biology lead these new material scientists to conduct more specific experimental operations.
There are not many biological talents in our country, and the biological disciplines were not very strong before, and investment was limited, which is why we are in today's predicament.
There are still many students recruited for the biology-related majors set up by Tianwen University, but they are still in the sophomore stage and cannot be used by Zhao Yi.
It will take two years for this group of people to graduate from their bachelor's degree. If biology majors want to master it, they need to go to the doctoral level, so that they can be independent, which is very different from software majors.
This time, talents majoring in materials science were forced to change careers. Fortunately, there were professional experts to guide them, and their wages were not reduced, but were slightly increased.
The purpose is to allow them to have no worries, learn new things with peace of mind, and be able to independently develop biotechnology as soon as possible.
After leaving Cornerstone Materials Company, Zhao Yi returned to Kyoto and prepared to design a complete set of shipbuilding technologies.
This includes not only the design technology for various types of ships, but also related technologies such as mechanical equipment for building ships, which involves a very wide range of technologies.
If Haiyan Shipping Company is allowed to study it slowly by itself, it will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse.
So as soon as Zhao returned to Kyoto, he began to stay at home and concentrate on organizing technical data in these aspects. Fortunately, the industrial software developed by Fanxing Software Company is powerful enough, saving him a lot of time.
This period of "working hard" lasted until the beginning of July, which meant that Zhao Yi stayed at home for more than half a month. If it weren't for Lin Hexia's news that the British Hong Kong government was preparing to hold the seventh land auction, he would have been They don't even plan to leave the country.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether Zhao Yi goes or not, but as a participant in this big event, if he can't watch it up close, he always feels like something is missing, so he still plans to make another trip.
Zhao Yi is not alone when he goes to Hong Kong this time, because Zhou Jinjue and Zhou Jinyu are on summer vacation, so he might as well take them to Hong Kong for fun. They haven't been to Hong Kong yet, so it would be good to take them to see the world.
The two of them were obviously much more excited than Zhao Yi. They had prepared their luggage early. Zhao Yi had advised them early not to bring a lot of things, because they would have to buy a lot. If they brought too many things, it would be difficult to carry them. Coming back is more difficult.
It's a pity that they didn't listen, so Zhao Yi just let it go. Anyway, he brought a change of underwear with him, and other things were available at Lin and Xia's residence.
If you don't have enough, just buy it. It doesn't matter if you are too lazy to buy it. You can just ask the secretary or security personnel around you to buy it.
After getting off the plane, Lin Hexia came to pick her up in person. Although two people were added, they did not choose to live in a hotel. Although Lin Hexia could not accommodate so many people, she bought the houses above and below the house she lived in and on the same floor.
Security personnel had been arranged to live in these houses before, so it didn't matter if Zhou Jinjue was allowed to live in these houses temporarily this time.
Zhou Jinjue didn't have any objections to his special arrangement. He was relatively independent to begin with, so it was okay to live in a house by himself. Besides, he was not used to being squeezed into the same house as Lin Hexia, so it was better to be alone.
With Zhou Jinjue and Zhou Jinyu, it was no longer suitable for Zhao Yi and Lin Hexia to stay at home, so they began to take them around Hong Kong, visiting various scenic spots, and then went to major shopping malls to shop for goods.
The material richness in Hong Kong is not comparable to that in the Mainland. Zhou Jinyu turned into a shopping madman, which made Lin Hexia who accompanied her feel overwhelmed, let alone Zhao Yi and Zhou Jinjue.
Fortunately, this visit to Hong Kong is not all about wandering around. On July 8, the British Hong Kong government started its seventh land auction. This land auction naturally attracted the attention of all Hong Kong citizens and even more affected Perspectives of relevant participating countries.
Although the overall consumption of the previous auctions was huge, judging from the situation in the past few months, the mainland has not been affected at all. The relevant government investment projects that had been planned before have not been affected in any way and are still proceeding normally.
Of course, they had doubts about whether these funds were not from the mainland. After all, there were still several mainland companies that saw a sharp increase in operating income in 1983. However, through their investigation, they found no signs of relevant fund mobilization by these companies.
The land auction funds of Hong Kong housing companies all go through HSBC, and HSBC is now a private bank and does not need to disclose some information to the outside world, and its confidentiality capabilities have been greatly improved.
Qi Xiaming, who had not left the public eye in the past few months, was immediately surrounded by a large number of reporters as soon as he arrived at the auction site.
It can be said that Qi Xiaming is now the darling of the Hong Kong media. If there is no news about the Hong Kong Housing Company or Qi Xiaming every day, other reports will feel boring.
The Hong Kong Housing Company also intends to cause this kind of continuous news fever, because only by knocking the British Hong Kong government down from its peak can it have the effect of damaging the morale of the British government, and they will no longer engage in some inexplicable things. .
This time, the British Hong Kong government put up 1,000 hectares of land for auction. Most of the land is located in rural areas of Yuen Long District, so the unit price of the land will not be very high. However, due to the large area, the final total transaction price will definitely be an astronomical figure.
Therefore, the auction site is both boring and touching. The boring thing is that there is only one bidder at the auction site, and there is no atmosphere that an auction should have. The boring thing is because the nature of this matter is special, and the transaction amount involved is huge. , attracting attention from all parties.
I don’t know what the British Hong Kong government planned this time. Some land in remote rural areas was auctioned at a price that exceeded the market price. As the only auctioneer at the scene, how could Qi Xiaming follow the British Hong Kong government’s wishes and cause several pieces of land to be unsold? .
The British Hong Kong government made emergency adjustments to the land auction prices, which were basically based on market prices. After all, the ultimate goal of the British Hong Kong government was to drain the mainland's funds, not to mess with other things.
Things went smoothly later on. Several pieces of land that failed to be auctioned were finally put up for auction again by the British Hong Kong government, and the land prices also followed market rules.
After all the land auctions were completed, everyone who participated in the auction applauded in unison. Although the average price per square meter of the 2,000 hectares of land was only 15,000 Hong Kong dollars, the total capital scale reached 300 billion Hong Kong dollars. , which is much higher than the last time of HK$180 billion.
So far, the Hong Kong Housing Corporation has held 2,536 hectares of land, with a total cost of HK$805 billion, which is more than US$100 billion when converted into US dollars. It can be said to be an unprecedented huge amount of money.
Previously, Zhao Yi planned to ask the Hong Kong housing company to borrow money from HSBC and pretend that funds were exhausted. Later, the British government got involved and no longer needed to be so mysterious, so he changed his strategy.
Besides, with so much money now, if most of it is loaned by HSBC, then HSBC will definitely be questioned by all walks of life.
Moreover, the news of tightening loans in the real estate industry has just been released, and then turning around and giving huge loans to Hong Kong housing companies will cause a huge blow to the credibility of HSBC.
When Qi Xia Ming came out of the auction, he was still surrounded by reporters. However, facing so many reporters, Qi Xia Ming was still full of confidence, as if the auction just now was just like buying something in an ordinary market and was not worth mentioning.
In particular, he said to reporters: "This small amount of funds will put no pressure on Hong Kong housing companies at all."
The British Hong Kong government and other participating countries have turned green with anger, and those with a bad temper are about to throw their stools down.
At the same time, Qi Xiaming's statement also surprised all parties. They were surprised that the mainland dared to gamble, and they were also surprised by the mainland's wealth.
This time, Zhao Yi did not have to wait long. The eighth land auction started in full swing. It was only two days before the seventh land auction. It seemed that the British Hong Kong government wanted to suppress the arrogance of the Hong Kong Housing Company.
This time, the British Hong Kong government took out all the remaining land that had taken more than a month to recover. The total area reached an astonishing 5,000 hectares, basically all the land in the northern New Territories. .
Fortunately, although the northern part of the New Territories is flat, it is indeed the farthest away from the central area of Hong Kong and is close to Shenzhen. This area was not effectively developed until Zhao Yi was reborn in his previous life.
The land price here is much lower than last time. The final average land price per square meter was 8,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the total cost reached 400 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is about 50 billion US dollars.
In fact, the funds now spent have exceeded the total amount of funds Zhao Yi planned to invest before, so funds need to be temporarily transferred from the investment company. Fortunately, Sunflower Investment Company has sufficient cash and no major problems have arisen.
At this point, everyone in Hong Kong knows that the British Hong Kong government is at the end of its rope, because they have auctioned off all the land they have been able to acquire, and there is no land left to sell.
Sure enough, within a few days, the British Hong Kong government issued a statement stating that the land auction had come to an end and no further land auctions would be held.
This is tantamount to the British Hong Kong government raising the white flag.
Regarding this result, Zhao Yi was not surprised at all. This was due to calculated calculations and unintentional calculations. The British Hong Kong government's trump card was clearly there, and only he knew his own trump card.
Now that I am involved, I am definitely 100% sure of winning. (End of chapter)
