Volume 7 Section 111 Dare to be the first in the world (2)
What is lacking in Handu now?
What is lacking is a more convenient environment and a more open atmosphere.
The former is composed of infrastructure such as roads and communications, while the latter is composed of the policies and work styles of local governments.
Therefore, Sha Zhengyang's idea of taking the lead in building an inland transportation construction highland has been fully supported by Mao Xiangdong at the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee.
Because there are so many expressways in the province, except for the Jiawan Expressway, all of them revolve around Handu as the center, Hanzhaofu, Hanwu, Duyi, Hanqin Expressway, all of which are the case, if these expressways can be built a few years earlier than originally expected, you can imagine how much this has improved the construction of Handu's national inland central city.
In Mao Xiangdong's view, this may be a conceptual thing that Sha Zhengyang learned from contact with a higher level during his temporary training in Yanjing, and he has not even had time to put it into practice, but if you can't push it earlier, maybe by the time you know, other cities will already be ahead.
Therefore, Mao Xiangdong tried his best to let Handu take the lead in every link and every field, which is also Mao Xiangdong's strategy of daring to be the first in the world at the enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee of the Handu Municipal Party Committee, and in his opinion, many of Sha Zhengyang's views and ideas and thinking horizons have the temperament of a leader.
During the period of contact with Sha Zhengyang, Mao Xiangdong felt that he had gained a lot.
This young man's vision is very forward-looking, such as fully promoting the construction of the Hanchuan Expressway, adopting the model of packaging and bundling these expressway assets and projects, absorbing private and foreign capital from Hong Kong, and finally operating and listing.
When these people still regarded the construction of expressways as a golden doll that could lay eggs and were reluctant to let go, Sha Zhengyang had already seen how great advantages and benefits the early completion of these expressways would bring to the investment and development environment of the entire Hanchuan Province.
Compared with the income and profits brought by the toll of the expressway, the overall investment environment of Hanchuan Province has been greatly improved, the transportation advantage is compared with the establishment of surrounding provinces and cities, and the reduction of transportation costs, which can attract more investment in, and this advantage is not comparable to the profit of the toll at all.
It's ridiculous that Li Ming and Wei Wenhui are still there thinking about whether they should do this, whether they can do it, their eyes are not even as good as a thirty-year-old young man, and Mao Xiangdong feels embarrassed when he thinks of this.
The same situation falls in Handu is to further accelerate the construction of communication network infrastructure, for which Mao Xiangdong went to Yanjing three times to dock with the Ministry of Information Industry and China Telecom, the purpose is to take the ADSL, a new thing that can greatly improve the Internet transmission mode, as soon as possible in Handu to test, originally the Ministry of Information Industry was intended to try in Shanghai and Shenzhen, but Handu attitude is very positive, but also contacted the relevant enterprises - Alcatel came to conduct a preliminary survey, so the Ministry of Information Industry finally agreed to the current pilot project in Handu.
In this regard, the positive attitude of the Handu Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government has played a key role, and Sha Zhengyang has also discussed with Mao Xiangdong that once ADSL is the first to be commercialized in Handu, it will inevitably greatly contribute to the rapid development of Handu's Internet industry.
But this time period is not long, because if Shanghai and Shenzhen find out about this situation, with their strength, I am afraid that it will not even take a year to catch up, and they may even surpass Handu.
Therefore, if Handu wants to maintain its leading edge all the time, it must also take targeted measures in other aspects to encourage and attract the Internet industry to settle in Handu, encourage and attract more Internet talents to work and live in Handu, and create an environment more suitable for the Internet ecology to survive in Handu.
"I know that even if Handu takes the lead in launching the ADSL commercial environment, there is still a big gap between Handu's conditions in Shanghai and Shenzhen. As long as these cities in Guangzhou have the heart to catch up, they can quickly catch up with and surpass Handu, so I'm also thinking about the ecology you mentioned, well, it's an ecosystem, how to create an ecosystem that can be suitable for these websites and enterprises that are suitable for the Internet, and I think that Handu is the most suitable place for them to take root and bear fruit, I'm afraid it's the ecosystem you said, right?"
Once Mao Xiangdong identifies something, he must not hesitate to push it forward, so he knows that this Internet ecology is still a little vague and half-understood for him, but his intuition tells him that this should be an industry with very broad development prospects.
Sha Zhengyang and he mentioned that if everything can be interconnected through the Internet as he said, then it is really the end of the world, e-mail is just the most basic way, he also talked about such as instant communication methods that can be similar to telephones, advertising methods, means of searching for goals and answers, and even enjoy a variety of online games while sitting at home, which can be said to be extremely colorful.
These may sound impossible at first glance, but e-mail is the most typical example, who can imagine that it used to take several days or even ten days to send a piece of information, now it can be transmitted to the other party in the blink of an eye, and then printed out, even without the other party waiting.
All in all, the emergence of the Internet seems to have made everything possible, Mao Xiangdong has this hunch, if anyone can seize this industry and can fight the tide, maybe they can win an era.
For Mao Xiangdong's description, Sha Zhengyang thinks it's similar, the word ecology was used a lot in his previous life, almost anything can be described by ecology, if you have to use a popular language to explain, in fact, it is an organic integration system, which is probably what it means.
The Internet must be an ecology, and this ecology is infinite, and countless ecosystems can be derived in countless fields, so in the previous life, Tencent had an ecology, Ali had an ecology, Baidu had an ecology, and almost every Internet giant that grew up was inseparable from the ecology, and you couldn't play without the ecology.
For Mao Xiangdong, if Handu can create an ecosystem suitable for the development of Internet-related industries, then Handu will be able to be invincible in the future competition of this industry, although he is not sure how big the Internet industry ecology will be in the future, but now start early, absolutely good.
According to Mao Xiangdong's vision, this kind of ecology suitable for the development of Internet-related industries also needs to be developed, cultivated and optimized from the aspects of hardware and software.
For example, the ADSL broadband that Handu is building now is a hardware optimization, which can quickly increase the speed from dial-up Internet access to many times faster, so that all kinds of communication and production efficiency have been greatly improved.
Even highway construction is also a hardware construction on the one hand, the development of the Internet industry also depends on people, people have to live and travel, so the transportation is convenient, they can travel more easily, it is also an improvement, but compared with this ADSL broadband improvement optimization, its relevance is much inferior.
"Secretary Mao, that's pretty much what it means, the Internet industry is going to develop, in fact, there are some signs and signs now, such as the largest web portals that mainly spread news and information, as well as websites with e-mail as a pioneer, for the time being, because the Internet is still an emerging direction, although many people have realized that this industry will change the whole world in the future, but they have not yet found how to make money from this industry, as if the vast majority of people can only use it as a new media method, to paste advertising to obtain income, ……”
Sha Zhengyang knows very well that all the pioneers who are panning for gold on the Internet are still confused looking around for how to find business opportunities to make money from this industry, and now practitioners can only analyze and judge whether the website or company has development potential from the click-through rate and popularity, which is precisely the most unreliable.
"What about the directions you mentioned to me in Zhengyang, such as the games you mentioned, and selling things on the Internet, and various services,...... Mao Xiangdong asked with great interest.
"This needs to be established in a relatively mature system in order to really play its role, but every industry is in such a stumbling and at a loss to come out, everyone has an experimental process, no one knows what the industry will produce tomorrow, I can imagine some directions, they can, but how to achieve it from the technical point of view, how to make them mature from the business model so that they can be maintained, this is a problem, only people engaged in this industry continue to explore and answer. ”
Sha Zhengyang added a sentence leisurely: "It is precisely this kind of chaotic groping that contains infinite vitality and charm, so that people can be happy to find in it, and once successful, they may become the pride of the times, well, the NASDAQ stock market in the United States is dominated by the Internet industry, and the stock index has exceeded 2000 points since July, and the climbing momentum has not diminished, more and more fierce, I believe it will not be long before its stock index may double, all this is so unimaginable!"
"Well, Zhengyang, don't describe it to me, since I have identified this wave, then I will not retreat, what do you think the Handu Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government can do now, how can we build the ecology you said better, so that the Internet can really take root in our Handu and live everyone?"
