Thinking of this, Zhao Yi planned to go to these companies to inspect and see how their preparations were going, so as not to let himself fall by the wayside.
Early the next morning, Zhao Yi took a special plane to Shenzhen, mainly to see how the game studio under Polaris Company was developing the online game he had prepared for the first year of the Internet.
No matter what people think of online games, at least it has made an indelible contribution to the development of the domestic Internet in its previous life.
If it were not for online games, first of all, a large number of early Internet companies would have died in the Internet winter. Secondly, it would have accelerated the popularization of the domestic Internet, allowing early domestic Internet practitioners to catch up with foreign Internet technology.
In this life, Zhao Yi is also planning to use this trick. There is no other way. Only entertainment methods such as online games can attract more people into the world of the Internet and promote the prosperity of the Internet.
The person who came to pick him up this time was Zhang Ruimin. Before arriving, Zhao Yi had already talked to him on the phone. On the way back, Zhao Yi asked Zhang Ruimin to take his car.
Sitting in the car, looking at more and more high-rise buildings outside, this shows that Shenzhen's development has indeed been rapid in recent years. In particular, several companies under Zhao Yi have settled in Shenzhen, which has provided sufficient impetus for Shenzhen's development.
When Shenzhen was first established as a special zone, all you could see at first glance was green farmland, with almost no industry in sight.
To be honest, Zhao Yi originally planned to move some industries here, but the basic conditions at the time were too poor. Setting up precision instrument companies and semiconductor companies here would cost a lot of time and energy, so he gave up.
After several years of development and some basic conditions, at least roads and other traffic problems have been greatly improved. Zhao Yi also established some industrial enterprises here to help Shenzhen develop rapidly.
Now Shenzhen is the bridgehead for Hong Kong and other capital to enter the mainland. They have the same culture and language, and there is almost no sense of isolation. Shenzhen is the first choice for Hong Kong capital to enter the mainland.
It's just that their development speed is still too slow, and the proportion of Zhao Yi's companies in Shenzhen's GDP is still too high. It can be said that most of the contributions to Shenzhen's economic take-off in recent years come from his companies.
After Zhao Yi asked the Hong Kong Housing Company to deceive most of Hong Kong's real estate companies to develop in Japan, Shenzhen's economy should be affected a little, but it shouldn't be huge, because their previous contribution to Shenzhen's GDP was only lower.
"I haven't been here for so long. There are many more high-rise buildings in Shenzhen." Zhao Yi said.
"Shenzhen's economic development has been good in recent years. More and more companies and individuals are entering Shenzhen. It is inevitable that the demand for commercial office buildings will continue to increase." Zhang Ruimin said.
"Who built these commercial office buildings?" Zhao Yi asked.
"Most of these office buildings were built by state-owned companies under the Shenzhen government, while a small number were headquarters built by companies in Shenzhen. The headquarters building built by our Polaris Company is one of them." Zhang Ruimin replied.
"Isn't there still no large-scale land auction?" Zhao Yi asked.
"I haven't heard of it yet. This matter is difficult to handle. Now that the land belongs to the state, the auction of land still needs policy support." Zhang Ruimin said.
Although Zhao Yi has now established several large enterprises in Shenzhen, the land they occupy was not auctioned. It was allocated to them by the Shenzhen Municipal Government, and they have no land property rights in name.
This is why Zhao Yi has never developed real estate on a large scale in the mainland, but only chose to try out the situation in Hong Kong to let the mainland government know some of his understanding of real estate.
After the Hong Kong Housing Corporation operates well, Zhao Yi will propose to the government the development of large-scale real estate projects, which will become simpler and the policy will be easier to pass.
However, Zhao Yi can't wait for so long. It will take a long time for the Hong Kong Housing Company to complete the construction of the new city. After the construction is completed, it will have to be operated for a while, which takes too long.
Then he began to develop the mainland's real estate economy, which seemed unable to achieve Zhao Yi's strategic goals. He hoped to develop the domestic economy to a certain level before the 1990s and have sufficient ability to resist risks.
Although in the past life, the people of our country were in pain due to real estate, the national economy was also at risk of being hijacked by the real estate economy, and government finances were very dependent on real estate.
As a result, everyone in China knows that if the real estate economy continues to develop, it will definitely be detrimental to the real economy, but they just can't stop it. The only way is to delay it until it can be slowly resolved through sustained economic development.
Therefore, Zhao Yi does not intend to develop mainland real estate according to the method of his previous life, but will adopt a method of both renting and selling, so that the people at the bottom can obtain the living space they deserve, and those who are rich can also obtain a higher quality of life.
This means that a large number of low-rent houses will be built for the working class to live in, and high-priced high-end real estate will also be provided for the wealthy to live in and earn their profits.
As for selling ordinary residences, Zhao Yi has no interest.
First, he is not short of money and does not need to raise funds through sales. In addition, in the long run, he will get higher returns through leasing.
The second is that operating real estate through sales will also bring many disadvantages. Zhao Yi has seen too many of these disadvantages in his previous life, so now he does not want to make the same mistakes again.
The first disadvantage is that the vacancy rate of houses remains high and the utilization rate of houses is very low, which will lead to the ineffective occupation of large-scale land. Our country is already short of agricultural land, so it is a pity that it is wasted like this.
However, now Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company is vigorously developing offshore farms, which can alleviate the country's demand for farmland, but this is not a reason to waste. If there are really many, then there is no need to build so many high-rise buildings and build some ground-floor villas. Is it not good.
Secondly, there will be the emergence of real estate speculators. People who have houses and resources will desperately buy houses, thereby creating the illusion of scarcity of houses, raising housing prices, and then arbitraging out, leaving those who really have no money and resources to bear the burden of their lives. debt.
When the number of people with lifelong debts increases, it actually has a huge impact on the domestic real economy. No one dares to spend. In addition to paying off the mortgage every month, the remaining money is only enough for the family's basic living needs.
Not daring to consume or have children is a true reflection of Zhao Yi's previous life. He doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes in this life, so that people may look like they have a high income, but in fact they are not as free as their parents. At least they can still live in spite of the hardships. Raise several children.
This bad view of various issues in the past life is also reflected in many of Zhao Yi's actions. For example, he wants to use his own strength to promote free education nationwide. Only he can do such a thankless thing.
His purpose in doing these things is to provide the people with a relatively relaxed living environment so that they can spend the money they earn without any burden, so that the domestic economy will not stagnate because they dare not spend it.
Although this kind of thing will not happen in the short term, Zhao Yi hopes to have a good plan from the beginning, because once it starts to develop in a bad direction, it is often difficult to change back. This is inertia.
Unless there is a sudden brake, the harm to economic development will be even greater. This is why the previous governments would not want housing prices to fall rapidly no matter what.
In the time that followed, Zhao Yi didn't speak much and kept thinking about this issue. He couldn't take it as slowly as he did in his previous life. He had to make some suggestions to the central government to advance this time.
Although the state has allowed Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company under Zhao Yi to carry out agricultural cooperation and agricultural modernization across the country, due to the large rural population, it is simply not possible to accommodate so many people.
In other words, the problem of rural surplus labor has not been fundamentally solved, but compared to the urban unemployed, they at least still have food to eat and will not cause any trouble.
But it is impossible to get rid of poverty or even get rich. Moreover, even if Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company’s agricultural modernization construction absorbs so many rural people, the amount of agricultural products produced will be so huge that the country cannot digest it at all.
By then, no matter how good the agricultural products are, they will be unsaleable, and the conditions for exporting agricultural products are more stringent than exporting industrial products. The international market cannot be opened in a short time, and it mainly needs to be digested domestically.
However, the country cannot digest so many agricultural products, and it is inevitable that the price of agricultural products will fall. If the selling price is not enough to meet the cost price, it is estimated that they can only be destroyed on the spot, which is commonly known as "the milk is poured out and is not given to the poor." drink".
Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, the agricultural cooperation plan of Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company is not unlimited and is determined based on market demand.
Then it will bring about a very serious problem, which is that the agricultural modernization construction of Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company has greatly improved the efficiency of agricultural production, and the quality of agricultural products is more guaranteed, the types of agricultural products are more diverse, and the sales channels are broader.
Under such circumstances, it will cause huge damage to the existing agricultural pattern. Those farmers who have not cooperated with Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company will have their products unsalable and end up rotting in the fields, seriously affecting their economy. income.
By then, farmers who cooperate with Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company will be able to live a life in the city, while those farmers who have not cooperated with Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company will live a worse life than before.
Such a situation is by no means what Zhao Yi wants to see, so the burden on the rural population must be reduced and more rural people liberated from the land.
To solve the employment problem of so many people, we can only develop industry and service industries. The development of industry still requires a process, and investment in industry also requires a certain cycle. It is not possible to solve the problem of so many labor forces immediately.
However, it is not easy for the service industry to accept so many people for employment, because the service industry requires a large number of people to gather and an industrial population as its foundation. This is why it is called the tertiary industry.
Therefore, the only way Zhao Yi can think of now is to carry out large-scale infrastructure construction in the city, through building high-rise buildings, building roads, building subways, etc., to attract rural people to participate in urban employment on a large scale.
This also has many benefits for the remaining rural labor force. First, they can earn a lot of money, and second, they can broaden their horizons.
Moreover, the gathering of so many people will definitely drive the development of related service industries. At least there will be more restaurants, barber shops will be opened, and other life services will be established, so the number of people employed in the service industry will also increase.
If local commerce is developed, if conditions permit, relevant industrial industries are established, these migrant workers are absorbed into industrial industry personnel, stay in the local area for development, and turn them into citizens.
In this way, the prosperity of cities will increase, and the rural population will relatively decrease. This is the best of both worlds. This is why the rapid development of real estate in the previous life was also a stage where the urbanization rate increased significantly.
This is why Zhao Yi is not disgusted with the development of the real estate industry. He is just very disgusted with the abnormal development of real estate, which has become a tool for plundering the wealth of the people at the bottom, causing a huge gap between the rich and the poor and making people's livelihood difficult.
If you just buy one or two pieces of land in Shenzhen for construction, with Zhao Yi's energy, it is actually very simple, but such a small fight will not solve the problem at all.
If it cannot provide employment for the rural population, Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company’s modern agricultural cooperation plan will not be able to develop rapidly, and social stability must be taken into consideration.
If they are small businessmen, they may not care about these and think that these are only government matters, but Zhao Yi, who has now reached this position, must think about these issues like the government.
Every move and decision he makes will affect the lives of many people and the domestic economy and politics, so you need to think twice before doing anything.
This is one of the reasons why he wants to carry out large-scale real estate development in Shenzhen, but does not plan to approach the Shenzhen Municipal Government, because the Shenzhen Municipal Government is simply unable to make such a decision, so this matter still needs to be discussed with the central government.
Without solving these problems, the modern agricultural cooperation plan of Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company can only be advanced slowly, and it is not possible to gather together and disperse the cooperation points as much as possible across the country.
Zhang Ruimin watched Zhao Yi suddenly fall silent, just looking out the window silently, his expression lost in thought, and he didn't even notice that the car had arrived downstairs at the Polaris Company headquarters.
He also saw that Zhao Yi seemed to be thinking about the problem, so he did not disturb him. He just asked the driver to park the car aside and wait for Zhao Yi to finish thinking.
Speaking of which, Zhang Ruimin was a step ahead of Zhao Da. When he first came to the company, he was actually worried when he saw that his boss was so young.
As a result, after so many years, his original concerns have completely disappeared, and now he is dedicated to developing Polaris Company so that he can not only realize his own life value, but also create huge wealth for his boss and the country.
Especially in recent years, due to the rapid development of Polaris Company and several other companies under Zhao Yi, the face of Shenzhen has been changing rapidly, which made him feel a sense of pride, and he had a share of the credit for this.
It's just that Zhao Yi gave him the feeling before that nothing was difficult for him. Whether it was a financial problem or a technical problem, he could quickly solve it. This was one of the reasons why he was willing to follow him wholeheartedly.
It can be seen from Zhao Yi's expression that there seems to be a very difficult problem plaguing him. This is the first time Zhang Ruimin and Zhao Yi have met so many times.
Today's Zhang Ruimin is no longer the same Zhang Ruimin. As Polaris Company grows stronger, as the president, he becomes more and more powerful, his friends become more and more high-end, and he gets more and more information.
He had never heard from Zhao Yi about some of the things that Zhao Yi had done, but he had heard high-level government figures talk about them. From these things, he could tell that his boss had huge power in the country.
And judging from the layout of some of his brother companies, they are also very ambitious and ambitious. The things that can make him think about are definitely not trivial, because trivial things do not need to worry him at all.
So in this case, Zhang Ruimin didn't dare to disturb him. He just sat quietly and observed the young capital tycoon.
When Zhao Yi came back to his senses, he found that the car had stopped and looked out the window. Outside was the headquarters building of Polaris Company.
"Why didn't you remind me?" Zhao Yi said with a smile.
"I just arrived not long ago. Seeing how hard you are thinking, I don't want to disturb you." Zhang Ruimin also replied with a smile.
"Okay, then let's go directly to Polaris Game Studio to check out the situation. This is a key part of our Internet promotion plan, and we can't let it slip." Zhao Yi said.
"Don't worry, I have also paid a certain amount of attention to this project and will never hold back." Zhang Ruimin promised.
Then the two went straight to the office building where the game studio is located. Now the number of people in Polaris Game Studio is also extremely large, with thousands of people, and they provide a large amount of game resources for Polaris' game consoles every year.
Due to the large number of people and a group of programmers, there is still a big gap in management between the other R&D departments of Polaris Company, so we simply gave them a separate building next to it.
When Zhao Yi entered the game studio, he was surprised by their working environment. Compared with the office environment of Fanxing Software Company, the office here was like an amusement park.
Each floor has a large leisure area, which contains both fitness equipment and amusement facilities, such as slides for children, which Zhao couldn't bear to look at.
Zhao Yi did not expect that these old men could have such childishness. It was not like he had never been to an Internet company in his previous life. Apart from speaking more straightforwardly, he did not find any special hobbies among them.
Look at these programmers, what kind of monsters and ghosts are they that moved the children's slide here? Could it be that such a big person can have fun playing on the slide
Zhao Yi himself didn't understand their thoughts, but he didn't intend to stop them. He was not good at specific affairs management. Since the leader of the game studio had no objection, he wouldn't say anything.
Looking at Zhang Ruimin, I found that his expression was as usual, and he was obviously used to the situation here.
As Zhao Yi walked, he looked around and found that there were people who were obsessed with Japanese comics. They hung a large number of cartoons on the wall, and small groups of people gathered together to comment.
Not long after Zhao Yi came in, the manager of the game studio had already arrived in front of Zhao Yi and Zhang Ruimin and said quickly: "I'm very sorry. I just found out that Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhang are here."
"Mr. Zhao, this is Manager Li. You came here to get the news. I didn't tell him in advance. I hope you won't be offended." Zhang Ruimin explained.
"It's okay. I came here this time to see the opening status of those two online games. Manager Li should take us to see them." Zhao Yi said. (End of chapter)
