"Dai Yi, you go to Mr. Yang's assistant and bring the newspaper clipping folder just now. ”

"Okay. ”

Dai Yi quickly walked into the lounge with the newspaper clippings displayed by Yang Fan, and Du Qiu read the reports that questioned and attacked him again under the guise of questioning and attacking the higher education system, and then picked out a few more insightful ones, and ordered: "Fax these reports to Mr. Liu, and let him find out who is behind it." ”

"Don't you need to show Mr. Liu those reports that spread rumors?"

"These articles are clumsy and of too low grade, so I took them directly to Lawyer Hu in the legal department and asked him to deal with them. Du Qiu put the college entrance examination materials into the document bag, held it in his hand and asked, "Is the advance planning map of the smart city pilot area in the strategic intelligence room?"

"Yes. ”

"You go and call Mr. Yang, I'll wait for him there. ”

After Snapdragon opened the official forum in May, a few special gossip employees built a high-rise post in it, called "Rumor Harvester", to collect all kinds of gossip from social celebrities and entertainment stars for fun, this post is very popular, there are tens of thousands of replies in less than two months, which has exploded a lot of real hammer shady, and also gave birth to a lot of Internet nonsense, which is the most popular post on the domestic Internet in 1995.

In 1995, computers were expensive, and Internet fees were also expensive, and most of the netizens who often flooded the Internet were mixed well, and the social class was relatively high, but they did not have a strong sense of confidentiality, so in this section, there were often some ordinary people who could not reach, but very valuable policy and economic information.

Yang Fan soon found the importance of this section, so he recruited several talents who are good at collecting and analyzing information, and set up a network public opinion room, after Du Qiu put forward the concept of smart city in November, a large amount of information and data need to be used when preparing the draft, so the network public opinion room was upgraded to a strategic intelligence room, specifically to provide information support for the company's strategic decision-making.

The strategic intelligence room is the innermost on the east side of the 18th floor, which used to be Chen Dayou's office, and the decoration is very luxurious, but the wine cabinet, refrigerator and leather sofa have been moved and replaced with printers, scanners, server-level computers and two rows of high and wide bookcases.

A man wearing glasses was scanning documents inside, this person's name was Chu Guocai, who used to work in the archives management department of Sanjiang Provincial Newspaper Group, and he was more shy, seeing Du Qiu coming in, he greeted him with some restraint: "Mr. Du, that, hello." ”

"Assistant Chu, I want to take a look at the preliminary planning map of the experimental area. ”

"Here, I'll take it for you. Chu Guocai was very familiar with all the materials in the room, and very quickly took out the planning sketch of the smart city pilot area from the bookcase, spread it on the only remaining mahogany desk in the office, pressed it with a paperweight, and said: "Mr. Du, look at it." ”

From the map, Yuncheng is like a spread out egg cake, under the jurisdiction of 4 districts and 3 counties, covering an area of about 7800 square kilometers, equivalent to 3.5 Tokyo, surrounded by a few hills, all plains, can be said to be a horse Pingchuan, fertile fields for thousands of miles, has long been regarded as a grain production base by the country, so industry and commerce are not very developed, the real development of the urban area is only more than 500 square kilometers, even a ring road has not been completed, very shabby.

In such an environment, planning a new area is like drawing on a blank sheet of paper, and you can draw as you want, so the early planning is very bold, directly enclosing an area of about 1,800 square kilometers in the southwest, which is equivalent to 1.5 times the size of Pudong New Area, and it is almost impossible to be approved, and even if it is approved, it is impossible to have the money to build.

According to Du Qiu's calculations, in the next 20 years, even if the whole province of Sanjiang Province is raised, it can only build a new area of about 200 square kilometers in Yuncheng.

200 square kilometers sounds small, but it is not small, at least trillions of investments can be built, and the area of the truly prosperous core area is estimated to be no more than 50 square kilometers, after all, Manhattan, New York is only 60 square kilometers.

People are natural animals, very sensitive to the environment, for the sake of psychological security, when building a new city on the plain, it will definitely be the first choice of places with mountains and rivers, so the core area of the experimental area, either near the Majiaqiao Reservoir, or near the Qingyun Mountain, in addition, other places are not attractive, now the province and the city have chosen to build the government affairs district and business district near the Majiaqiao Reservoir, so if the software park is relocated, it is best to replace the land near Qingyun Mountain, where there is also a lake, and the development potential is huge.

Du Qiu's eyes moved back and forth on the planning sketch, staring at the Majiaqiao Reservoir for a while, and turning to Qingyun Mountain for a while, as if he was playing the famous simulation game "City: Skyline".

"Assistant Chu, what's the name of this lake near Big Peach Tree Village?"

"Legend has it that it is a lake that fell from a meteorite, so it is called Star Lake. ”

"Qingyun Mountain, Big Peach Tree Village, Xingxing Lake, Botanical Garden, how many people are in the area enclosed by these four points?"

"Is this area?" Chu Guocai looked at the planning plan and quickly calculated it, and said: "This area involves 15 natural villages, and according to the statistics of 1990, there are about 20,000 to 28,000 people. ”

"What about the area?"

"It's about 9,100 acres, or about 6 square kilometers. ”

Awesome, what a humanoid calculator......

More than 9,000 acres should be enough to build an ideal smart city model community......

Du Qiu was thinking about it, when Yang Fan pushed open the door and asked, "Mr. Du, is there anything to do with me?"

"What does the city say about the land exchange of the software park?"

"The city has proposed two proposals. Yang Fan took out a pencil from the pen holder, pointed to the planning map and said: "The first plan is that the city will recover 850 acres of land in the second and third phases of the software park at a price of 10,000 yuan per mu, and we will continue to develop 150 acres of the first phase." ”

The software park only cost 500 yuan per mu of Snapdragon, and now the city has recovered it for 10,000 yuan, and the value has increased by 20 times in a few months, and the conditions can be described as very rich, but the people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, Du Qiu knows very well that after the land is taken back, the city can immediately sell it at a price of hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, and if it is left after 2000, it will increase in value to millions of acres, so he is not moved by this plan, and asks: "What about the second plan?"

"The second option is to replace land with land from other regions, and the proportion of the replacement is different depending on the region. Yang Fan drew three circles on the planning map with a pencil and said: "2 kilometers away from the west side of the Majiaqiao Reservoir, you can exchange 1 mu for 1.5 acres, about 1.5 kilometers away from the south side of the botanical garden, you can exchange 1 mu for 2 acres, and here between Qingyun Mountain and Da Taoshu Village, 1 mu can be exchanged for 3 acres." ”

"The city is going to develop the Majiaqiao Reservoir first, and then expand towards Qingyun Mountain, right?"

"Yes, the experts of the Central Academy of Planning and Planning have suggested so, and the province and city have basically reached a consensus. Yang Fan saw Du Qiu staring at Qingyun Mountain, a little puzzled, and said: "With the financial situation of Cloud City, it will take at least 10 years to expand to Qingyun Mountain, so I think this land on the south side of the Botanical Garden is the best choice, it is far from the planned business district, and it will not affect our development of the Botanical Garden." ”

"If Yuncheng tosses it by itself, it may not be able to expand here in 20 years, but ......" Du Qiu also took a pencil from the pen holder, and explained while drawing on the planning map: "If you build a university town here in Xingxing Lake, divert the students of several universities in the urban area, and then build a software park here in Da Taoshu Village, the two-pronged approach, at most 5 years, this area will prosper." ”

"Build a university town?" Yang Fan's eyes lit up, but he quickly shook his head and said: "Several universities in Yuncheng are located in urban areas, and they have no incentive to relocate to the suburbs, and they don't have enough financial resources to build a university town. ”

"If there's no motivation, we help them create motivation. Du Qiu smiled, took out the college entrance examination materials from the document bag, and said: "As you just said, many media have recently used me as an example to prove that there are problems in the domestic higher education system, and we can use our strength to take advantage of this public opinion." ”

Yang Fan was a little confused, took the college entrance examination materials and glanced at them, and asked, "How does Mr. Du want to use it?"

"I'm going to hold a press conference and say that there is indeed a problem with the domestic higher education system, and the crux of the problem is that the number of students enrolled is too small, and it needs to be expanded!" Du Qiu stretched out two fingers and said: "At least 20% of the enrollment will be expanded every year, and by the year 2000, the undergraduate enrollment will be doubled compared with the current one, reaching 1 million. ”

"Expansion?" Yang Fan showed a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth, and asked rhetorically: "What reason did Mr. Du use to get the upper authorities to agree to expand the enrollment?"

"First, there are more and more laid-off workers in China, and in order to alleviate the employment pressure and prevent them from competing for jobs with young people, we need to expand the recruitment ......"

"Second, Chinese attaches the most importance to children's education, the economy has been unstable in the past two years, and consumer confidence is seriously insufficient, so in order to stimulate consumption and boost the economy, it is necessary to expand enrollment ......"

"Third, China's industrial system has passed the low-end stage in the early stage of reform and opening up, and has begun to march to the middle and high-end, and the number of college students is seriously insufficient, and it needs to expand the enrollment ......"

"Fourth, there are many talented talents like me in China, but unfortunately they were delayed by the high threshold of universities and did not get the opportunity to display their talents, so they need to expand their ......."

There are many reasons for the expansion of university enrollment, Du Qiu only said four, and Chu Guocai, who was listening on the side, nodded frequently and agreed: "Mr. Du is right, the university should expand its enrollment, I once read a report that said that the university enrollment rate of young people aged 18 to 22 in China is only 2.4%, while South Korea is 51%, Thailand is 19%, India is 8%, South Korea is a developed country, forget it, but Thailand and India are not as good as China, but the enrollment rate is several times higher than ours, it is too unreasonable!"

The enrollment rate of 2.4% was a bit shocking, not only Du Qiu was surprised, but even Yang Fan was moved and asked, "Is your data accurate?"

"The World Bank's statistics should not be wrong. ”

"Find this report and print it out to me. ”

"Give me a copy too. Yang Fan commanded, then looked down at the planning map, and after pondering for a while, it was still difficult to make a decision, so he said to Du Qiu: "Mr. Du, I have always admired your overall view, but education is the foundation of the country, and it will not change the policy easily, how likely do you think it is that we will promote the expansion of university enrollment?"

"It is imperative to expand the recruitment, even if we don't do anything, at the latest for three years, we have to implement it. Du Qiu made this judgment without pressure, and said with a smile: "But you are right, education can not be moved lightly, so any policy must be fully demonstrated and tested, we in the name of the smart city pilot zone, to the Ministry of Education and the provincial government to apply for the construction of a university town, to promote several colleges and universities in Yuncheng to do experiments for the expansion of enrollment, do you think the success rate will be much higher?"

"In this case, I support the exchange of the land in the software park near the big peach tree village. Yang Fan no longer objected, and said: "I'm afraid that Snapdragon alone is not enough for this matter, Mr. Du had better communicate with Mr. Chen's father." ”

"I'll go find him tonight. ”
