The China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC) has approved the entry of foreign-incorporated banks into China, and Chronos Bank is one of them.

Chronos Bank is a bank established by Li Zetian in China, because Li Zetian has strong financial resources and reputation, Chinese people are very trusting of Chronos Bank, and the number of depositors is very fast. At present, Chronos Bank has basically completed its layout in China's first-tier cities and has begun to set foot in second-tier cities.

There is a branch of Chronos Bank in Hangzhou.

As a result, Li Zetian asked the Chronos Bank to borrow money from the Hangzhou government.

Building a city brain requires a lot of infrastructure, so it takes a lot of money.

At that moment, Li Zetian first sent someone to investigate and calculate the budget.

A week later, when the budget came out, Li Zetian came to Chronos Bank.

The president of the Hangzhou branch of Chronos Bank is a native of Hangzhou, named Li Chuan, 42 years old, graduated from Harvard University MBA, tall, originally worked in the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and was later poached by Korn Ferry International headhunting company, and was poached to Chronos Industries.

In the president's office, Li Zetian said to Li Chuan: "The budget of the city brain may be two or three hundred billion yuan, Li Chuan, how much do you think the Chronos Bank can borrow from the Hangzhou government?"

Li Chuan frowned and replied, "Mr· Li, 20 to 30 billion yuan is too much! Although Hangzhou is a city that has developed well, many cities are now heavily in debt, and this kind of problem will arise in Hangzhou in the future. ”

Li Zetian asked again: "In your opinion, how much is appropriate?"

"Less than 5 billion yuan. ”

Li Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Mr· Li, the city brain is too large, and it is very difficult and expensive to promote it comprehensively. I think it's a good idea to find a place to use as a pilot to see how well the City Brain works. If it is good, the Hangzhou government itself will find a way to come up with money to do this. ”

When Li Zetian heard this, he couldn't help but nodded, feeling that Li Chuan's suggestion was good.

Li Chuan continued: "In this way, the scale is small, the cost of money is also sharply reduced, and the effect is fast, and the City Brain Project can be completed in a very short time!"

"Well, your suggestion is very good, I'll go talk to the government. ”

After speaking, Li Zetian took his leave.

Along the way, Li Zetian couldn't help but reflect and muttered to himself: "Why didn't I think of making a pilot first? Damn, maybe it's because I'm too rich and too ambitious, which has caused my current ...... of being empty-eyed and unstoppable."

Before I knew it, the car arrived at the city hall.

Li Zetian came directly to the mayor's office and immediately told him about the pilot.

"Mayor, I thought about it, the city of Hangzhou is too big, it is difficult to carry out the City Brain project smoothly, and we have no experience in this area, so we might as well choose a place to do the pilot first, so that the cost is less and the project can be carried out quickly. At the same time, we can see how effective the City Brain is. ”

After Li Zetian finished speaking, the mayor immediately nodded, "Well, step by step, this is very stable, I agree!"

"Mayor, which place do you think is suitable as a pilot?" asked Li Zetian.

"Xiaoshan!" the mayor knows Hangzhou well, and then introduced Li Zetian in detail, "Xiaoshan District is the municipal district of Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, 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 first among all counties (cities and districts) in Zhejiang, and has been rated as 'China's top ten counties' for many years, and has been ranked 'the first place in Chinese mainland with great investment for many times, and is known as 'the source of Zhejiang civilization, the hub of Zhejiang transportation, the richest economy in Zhejiang, and the leisure resort of Zhejiang, Zhejiang's Paradise of People's Livelihood'!"

Li Zetian nodded unconsciously, "Well, Xiaoshan is really good." In this way, it is indeed suitable as a pilot...... Okay, then Xiaoshan!"

“Mr· Li, now that your plans have changed, what about the money you promised to borrow?" the mayor asked.

Li Zetian said with a smile: "The pilot requires little money, and once the pilot is successful, the whole of Hangzhou will also carry out the City Brain Project, so my commitment remains the same, but the large amount of borrowing will not be lent to the government until Hangzhou is fully renovated." You know, all this money is going to be spent on the project. ”

"It's fine!" the mayor laughed, if only he could borrow money.

……

After the plan, Chronos 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 in Xiaoshan this pilot to carry out the construction of the city brain plan, the Hangzhou government can completely solve it by itself. But who is afraid of having more money? With more money, the government can carry out more projects to increase Hangzhou's GDP, which will greatly benefit the promotion of officials in the future.

Soon after, the City Brain project was officially launched in Xiaoshan, and Li Zetian arranged for Chronos Industries (China) and Chronos Bank to oversee the Hangzhou government and the progress of the City Brain project.

It is not uncommon for Chinese officials to embezzle funds, eat and drink, and embezzle, so supervision is not indispensable.

Of course, Li Zetian also knows that China's national conditions are like this, and there are always corrupt officials who are responsible for it, but supervision can still play a slight role. But, then again, it's not his business. Li Zetian only lent money to the government, and how the government used it was the government's business...... What Li Zetian hopes is to promote the smooth progress of the City Brain project.

……

……

On the morning of January 1, 2007, it was sunny.

Li Zetian and the leaders of the Hangzhou Municipal Government held a press conference, at which the City Brain Plan was announced.

In fact, Li Zetian wanted to do it secretly, and then report it after it was successful.

This is just a blockbuster, a blockbuster, shocking enough.

However, everyone knows that when cooperating with the government, what does the government want?

The City Brain Project, just by hearing the name, I feel like it is blowing up the sky, and the government can make the plan hidden?

Li Zetian could only push the boat down the river and promised them to publicize the City Brain Project to the outside world.

As soon as the news came out, as expected, China and even the world were all sensational!!

After the press conference, Li Zetian looked at the comments on the Internet, damn, the comment area was very lively.

"Damn, it's really shocking! City brain? Let artificial intelligence assist the government in managing the city!! Don't you want to blow up the sky like this, in the future, will artificial intelligence rule the earth?!"

"yes, it's so unsafe, in case artificial intelligence produces intelligence, it will enslave human beings!!"

"When I saw the news, I was shocked! Artificial intelligence manages cities? First of all, I don't want to say whether it can be technically realized, but I will give Chronos· Li and the Hangzhou government gave 10,000 likes. Artificial intelligence technology will definitely improve the quality of life in cities, and those netizens who say that artificial intelligence rules and enslaves human beings, you are really unfounded! How can artificial intelligence produce wisdom? They are just code, and they can only follow orders!"

"Hehe, with the current artificial intelligence technology, it is impossible for artificial intelligence to produce wisdom! Maybe decades, hundreds of years later, artificial intelligence will really produce wisdom, but that doesn't matter to me, I'm dead. ”
