Zhao Yi did not set up a large number of his industries here because of Shanghai's geographical advantages and business environment, because he felt that even in cities like Shanghai and the capital, the scale of industries should not be too large.
The reason why a large amount of resources were given to these first-tier cities in the previous life was that it was easier to win the favor of foreign investment and concentrate efforts on big things. If you sprinkle pepper on it, it would be difficult to see results.
The concentration of resources in big cities is conducive to our country's integration with the world, and it can take on more international resources. In an environment like the previous life, it will bring greater increase in benefits, which is a wise choice.
However, the situation in this life is obviously fundamentally different from that in the previous life. In addition to the relatively superior geographical location and relatively friendly business environment of large cities, other functions are not as prominent as in the previous life.
Not only Zhao Yi understands this truth, but the central government also understands this truth and will not over-concentrate resources in big cities. Instead, it will provide greater support to other economically backward areas.
Despite this, big cities like Shanghai, Capital City, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen are still as prosperous as in previous generations. Especially when new urban areas are built, the effect is even better than in previous generations.
However, as far as the urban population is concerned, it is not as fast and as large as in previous generations. This is because the economy of other regions in our country, especially the economic development of key cities in the province, is not slow at all. The growth rate and total volume of the provincial economy are both Qualitative improvement.
Not to mention the provinces and cities he had deployed earlier, Henan, which he has only paid more attention to in recent years, has seen its economic development speed significantly increase by more than one level, and the number of jobs has also increased rapidly.
Because he built Huaxin Precision Manufacturing Company in Henan. Although there is only one company headquartered in Henan, the employment scale and output value growth brought by this company are still impressive.
After several years of exploration, Huaxin Precision Manufacturing Company has figured out a method suitable for its own development. With the cooperation of other brother companies, the business has grown very fast.
Although the work done by Huaxin Precision Manufacturing Company seems to be relatively hard, due to the advanced equipment, the work intensity of employees is actually not very high. Now it is promoting the development of large-scale manufacturing business, and the profit margin has increased significantly compared with before.
Not to mention that many companies in the provinces and cities where he had already deployed earlier have grown into super giants. Even Procter & Gamble Daily Chemical Company, which he didn't care much about before, is now a giant company worth hundreds of billions.
It can be said that as long as each province has such a giant company, the economy of this province will not be too bad. It will not only have stable financial sources, but also be able to provide a large number of direct jobs and derivative jobs.
In addition, there are now urbanization projects in various provinces and cities, and the remaining labor force can basically be solved locally. There is no need to travel thousands of miles away to make a living.
Therefore, the migrant population in Shanghai is actually not as large as in the previous life. Even those who come to Shanghai to make a living are highly educated people, and it is easy to obtain a Shanghai household registration, so there is no obvious difference between locals and foreigners.
At present, the household registration system is not fully open, but in the process of urbanization development, the household registration issue is an unavoidable issue. At present, mutual recognition of household registrations within the province has been opened.
To be honest, although the household registration system still exists, it does not have as big an impact as it did before, because education, medical care, and elderly care have been coordinated across the country, regardless of region or household registration.
As long as these three important benefits are separated from the restrictions of household registration, the existence of household registration will actually be infinitely weakened. In addition, the future housing supply will mainly be provided by China Housing Corporation, which will also be decoupled from household registration.
The only role of household registration now is that you may receive more local care, which can be regarded as a kind of identity recognition. Putting aside this conscious prejudice, it actually does not have much effect.
With the comprehensive development of government informatization across the country, businesses that previously required going to the place of household registration can now be handled locally with just an ID card.
In the final analysis, the regional blackness and regional superiority that were common in previous lives were caused by economic imbalance. Economically developed areas have a certain sense of superiority in terms of identity, which is inevitable.
But what he and the government have to do is to try to keep the economy of each region relatively balanced. First, the economy of each provincial administrative division is relatively balanced, and then the economy of various cities within the province is relatively balanced.
In this case, whether you live in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, or in a small city in the mainland, the quality of life is basically the same. Wages in big cities may be higher, but they are not particularly high, and the cost of living is also relatively high. some.
Of course, the salary level here is almost the same, which refers to the same position. The salary of senior talents will definitely not be the same as the salary of ordinary labor. If it is really the same, there may be problems.
It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that these three industries were basically established in Shanghai in the early stage, because at that time there were only a few cities in the country with relatively good economic foundations.
The urban construction in the mainland is very backward, and the transportation construction is also backward. The only option is to build early industries in these cities with good economic foundation and excellent transportation geography.
Later, the transportation problems in the inland gradually improved. Although only the highway construction was very advanced and the railway construction was still relatively lagging behind, it was much better than before. So he gradually moved many coastal industries to the inland.
Many products of Polaris Company are constantly moving closer to southern Hunan, southern Jiangxi, and eastern Guangxi, hoping to drive the development of these areas instead of all being piled up in the Pearl River Delta.
Pusi Chemical Company also followed this idea and took advantage of the chemical leakage incident at Asange to transfer all chemical production links here to the mainland.
Even the production of chemicals for export is being transferred to other coastal areas. Because not all coastal areas are economically developed, it is very necessary to transfer certain industries to these coastal areas.
Generally speaking, industrial transfer refers to the transfer of a complete set of industries. The scale may not be as large as the concentration, but "a sparrow may be small but has all the internal organs" because the construction of industrial chain clusters is very conducive to increasing competitiveness.
As for the size of the relocated industries, it is determined based on the population of the area, as well as the degree of local economic development and employment saturation.
Instead of piling up all similar industries in one place like in the previous life, and recruiting workers from other places if there were not enough people, resulting in a large number of migrant workers and resulting in a lot of social problems.
Moreover, splitting a huge industrial chain cluster into several relatively small industrial chain clusters will also help share risks and reduce transportation costs. There is no need for a product to be transported from south to north, and it can be supplied nearby.
Even if Pusi Chemical Company carries out such operations, the scale of the headquarters and R&D institutions left in Shanghai is still very large, with the number of employees still reaching 100,000.
80,000 of them are researchers, scattered in various chemical research institutes here, and the remaining 20,000 are staff responsible for headquarters management, logistics, operations, marketing, etc.
It seems that 20,000 people is a bit too much. In fact, as such a large group enterprise with business all over the world, this kind of staff size is not too much.
The area where 100,000 people gather is naturally not small, and his companies all pay special attention to the living and working environment, so the density of people is not particularly high, which further increases the area of the park.
In fact, it is not very appropriate to call this place the Chemical Industrial Park, because there is no chemical production company here, so it is simply called the Pusi Chemical Park, which is basically the industry of Pusi Chemical Company.
Nowadays, Pusi Chemical Company has become a behemoth. There are so many people in the headquarters alone. It can be seen that the number of employees in the production, transportation, and sales links below must also be very large.
According to the annual report given by Pusi Chemical Company last year, the company's total number of employees reached nearly 2 million, involving almost all categories of chemical production and research and development.
This still means handing over a considerable part of the basic chemicals to the China National Chemical Corporation for production. Otherwise, the staff size will be larger. Of course, they also retain the production of some basic chemicals themselves.
Although the profit margin of basic chemicals is not high, they are the raw materials for the production of many complex chemicals. If it is handed over to others, Pusi Chemical Company is definitely not particularly comfortable, even if the other party is a state-owned enterprise.
Therefore, it is very necessary to retain the production and research and development of some basic chemicals within the company, and even for the same basic chemicals, the production quality and standards are different.
The more high-end chemicals, the higher the quality and requirements for basic chemical raw materials. Most of these are produced by Pusi Chemical Company itself, because the profit margin is still good for high-quality basic chemicals.
The main source of profit for Pusi Chemical Company is from high-end chemicals and chemical materials. The basic chemicals produced by itself are basically digested internally. As raw materials for extended chemicals, they are generally not sold externally.
This is also the reason why Pusi Chemical Company has as many as 80,000 R&D personnel, which far exceeds the number of researchers in other chemical companies and ranks first in the world.
It can be said that most of the chemical talents trained by my country's education system have entered Pusi Chemical Company, some of them have become engineers, and some have entered its research institutions.
In fact, even so, domestic talents cannot meet their needs, so a considerable number of researchers are from other countries, and the proportion is not low.
In the past, it would have been more difficult for foreign talents to come to China to engage in research work, because most people were not willing to leave their hometowns to work in backward countries.
But things are different now. First, Pusi Chemical Company itself is a giant company. It is now the most famous in the field of chemicals and has a tendency to become the dominant company.
Therefore, for researchers who are interested in making achievements in the field of chemicals, Pusi Chemical Company is still very attractive, especially Pusi Chemical Company's unique chemical research methods, which they are more interested in.
Although this seems to allow my country's technology to be learned, in fact, it is not the case. Pusi Chemical Company is different from Cornerstone Materials Company. Although it does have some unique technologies, it is not to the level of confidentiality.
Compared with the value brought by these foreign researchers, it is not necessary to keep these technologies confidential. Unlike Cornerstone Materials, which has its own exclusive technology for survival, it is classified as confidential.
So up to now, although Cornerstone Materials is already the world's largest materials R&D and production company, it has almost no foreign researchers in its domestic headquarters. They all conduct research in their research institutions abroad.
Second, the scale of my country's economic development has increased, urbanization has achieved certain results, and various infrastructures have gradually caught up. The convenience of life is not much worse than that of developed countries.
With further development in the next few years, the convenience of living in our country will be much higher than that in developed countries. By then, our country's attraction to high-end talents will be further strengthened.
Zhao Yi is open to using senior foreign talents. It does not mean that only domestic talents must participate in everything, especially for projects that do not require high confidentiality.
What he is more opposed to is the blind pursuit of foreigners. He feels that "foreign monks can chant sutras". What he needs are top foreign talents with real talents and learning. He is not very rare for those who are just passing the Yu or ordinary talents.
This is just like the universities he invested in. Those who want to study abroad must be top-notch talents. Ordinary talents will not ask for money even if they are given money. This is what Tianwen University does.
Anyway, these schools are private schools, and there will be no international pressure, nor do they care about the world university rankings. Compared with these false names, they care more about the real benefits.
They have the confidence to do this because Zhao Yi is behind them. They only need to train their students well and their reputation will not affect the students' employment at all.
Tianwen University is now the talent supply base for his industries, providing more impetus for the development of his industries. Since his industries cover a wide range of industries, and Tianwen University is a general university, the two are a perfect match.
For students at Tianwen University, entering one of his companies is basically equivalent to entering a world-class company, because his companies are world-class, if not number one.
Therefore, Tianwen University may not be as international as other schools, but the talents admitted every year are also top-notch. It can not only provide first-class educational resources, but also clearly arrange the employment of students.
For example, Tianwen University of Information Technology selects the best from high school students across the country. Although there is currently no international student, it does not affect the reputation of Tianwen University of Information Technology at all.
Because as Tianwen University of Information Technology gets on the right track, many research results have been produced one after another, and these results are world-leading. They rely on their own strength to sit directly at the top of the information technology universities.
It is also the fastest-rising university in the world. After all, they have only been established for a few years. They are also an information technology university that many people aspire to. The only thing that makes people complain is that they do not recruit international students.
Duan Jianhong is no longer involved in research at all. He has more than 80,000 researchers under his command. Many of them are more talented in scientific research than him. One person more than him is not more, and one less than him is not much.
Just when he saw him, Zhao Yi noticed a trace of white hair on his temples. He was considered the older one among the presidents of his companies. He was in his 40s when he first came in, and now he is in his early 50s.
The presidents of other companies under his umbrella are generally under 40 years old. They are young and powerful. This is why Zhao Yi caught Duan Jianhong's gray hair on his temples when he saw him.
But overall, Duan Jianhong's spirit is still very good, but as he gets older and works more, he has gray hair on his head. Of course, with current technology, it is very simple to make it black. of.
Chinese pharmaceutical companies have special drugs to treat the problem of gray hair. There is no need to dye it black, but Duan Jianhong obviously doesn't care about his hair turning gray, so he doesn't use this drug.
Zhao Yi came here not to listen to Duan Jianhong's report, because the relevant reports will be sent to his mailbox. Listening to these feels like a waste of time.
Instead, it would be better to chat with Duan Jianhong and increase mutual affection. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the current main research direction of Pusi Chemical Company and see if we can provide some help.
For example, the super flame retardant they are currently working on has not yet met the internal goals and requirements of Pusi Chemical Company. However, there are quite a lot of derivative chemicals, and a lot of money has been recovered in advance for this research work.
In response to their problem, after Zhao Yi heard it, he felt that it could not be solved in a short while, because their requirements were too high and could not be accomplished by conventional chemicals.
This made Zhao Yi confused as to whether he should tell him some of his ideas in advance. If he told him, he could save a lot of research funds and human and intellectual resources.
But in this case, it will reduce the probability of the birth of many other chemicals, because they will not try too much and just go straight to the topic, which will naturally reduce more possibilities.
Just like their current research, although no chemical flame retardant has been born that meets the final goal requirements, many other chemicals have been born and have been successfully used in other fields.
The most typical example is the flame retardants they use in coatings. Cornerstone Materials' coating products have become the global leader, but these coatings do not have flame retardant effects.
However, by adding Pulse Chemical Company's new flame retardant inside, these coatings can have a very good flame retardant effect and play a very good role in home interior decoration.
After using paint with flame retardant effect, even if a fire breaks out at home, the damage will not be great. If it is combined with fire prevention equipment, basically no major fire will occur.
This is very friendly for use in residents’ homes. Chinese housing companies will use this kind of paint with flame retardants for internal decoration. It has a very good effect on preventing fires in residential buildings and is also an effective way to reduce property losses.
It can be said that this kind of flame retardant is much more effective than traditional flame retardants, has almost no harm to the human body, has a very wide range of uses, and has brought very large economic benefits to Pusi Chemical Company.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yi had no intention of telling him how to do it, but let them study it on their own, because he felt that flame retardants for forest fire prevention were not that urgent.
Although watching large tracts of forest burn down will not only cause a lot of economic losses, but also produce a lot of pollutant gases, in terms of forest fire prevention, other means can be used to effectively prevent forest fires, and this is not the only way.
He also has a large number of forest areas that need fire prevention, but through Internet of Things technology and satellite technology, forest fires can be detected in the bud.
Forest areas such as Badain, Jilin, use temperature difference sensors on a large scale. As long as there is an abnormal temperature in the area, an alarm will be issued immediately. The accuracy is very high. Basically, the fire has been discovered before it gets bigger.
At that time, you only need to use helicopters to spray water on the fire areas to extinguish them. In addition, there will also be infrared sensors and other equipment that can intelligently monitor a larger area.
In addition, Fluclight Environmental Management Company has also commissioned Future Space Technology Company to develop related satellites, which can not only survey forest resources, but also conduct all-round monitoring and positioning of large-area forest fires.
For those forests with effective management, there are many ways to solve the fire problem, and the reliance on these flame retardants is not heavy, at least for his forest areas, this is the case.
However, most forests are still unmanaged. This is also the biggest application scenario for Pusi Chemical Company to develop this flame retardant. Otherwise, there would be no need to develop it at all.
In fact, the research and development goals of Pusi Chemical Company are getting closer and closer to the business of Cornerstone Materials Company, but the research methods between the two are different. After all, chemicals are also a kind of materials.
Strictly speaking, the coating products of Cornerstone Materials are also chemicals, but they are not produced through conventional chemical production. They mainly use biotechnology, supplemented by other technologies.
This is the difference between the two companies, but their goal is to provide the world with diversified materials to meet the increasing needs of people's lives and scientific development for materials.
Finally, Zhao Yi believes that Pusi Chemical Company can also focus on water pollution control, hoping that they can develop chemicals or chemical families that are almost harmless but can easily control water pollution.
The process of my country's industrialization, due to its special attention to environmental protection, has not caused serious pollution to the land, water systems and atmosphere. At least compared to the speed of my country's industrial development, these impacts are very small.
But the world is very big, and many countries, especially developing countries, will produce a lot of pollution during the process of industrialization, causing serious pollution to land, water systems and the atmosphere.
In his view, this is also a very large market. If these countries can be provided with cost-effective treatment solutions, the market size will be much larger than the super flame retardants they are developing.
Although this may seem to be taking away the work of the Luoguang Environmental Management Company, in fact, it is not the case. The main business of the Luoguang Environmental Management Company is to prevent it before it occurs, while Pusi Chemical Company is targeting the pollution that has already formed. (End of chapter)
