After the bus was parked, under the leadership of Bai Yuquan, the administrative manager of Snapdragon, the group came to the door of the Lianyuan Hotel, one of them was wearing glasses, a middle-aged man of about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, as soon as he saw Du Qiu, he directly made a request: "Xiao Du, I won't visit here, you send a car to take me to your company to see." ”

"Professor Gao, don't worry, I'll take you to the company as soon as I'm done. Du Qiu pointed to a clumsy and interesting rockery in the gatehouse, and persuaded with a smile: "This place has a long history and beautiful scenery, even if you don't look at the house, it's not bad to take a walk, it won't take much time." ”

"There's an important academic meeting at school next week and I have to go back to Ice City tomorrow. Professor Gao had a typical Chinese face, giving people a serious and square feeling, and turned his head to urge everyone: "Let's all go in, and strive to read it as soon as possible." ”

"Professor Gao, don't worry, I have already bought the ticket for you. Bai Yuquan made a polite and thoughtful gesture of please, and said while leading the way: "The direct flight at 2 o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow will arrive in Bingcheng at about 5 o'clock." ”

"Okay, thank you. ”

Du Qiu fooled a total of 8 senior talents to visit Yuncheng this time, among which the oldest, the most capable, and the highest position is Professor Gao Wengao, he is 39 years old this year, has produced a lot of scientific research achievements, not only professors and doctoral supervisors, but also the director of the Department of Computer Science of Bingcheng University of Technology and the core member of the National 863 Program Intelligent Computer Theme Expert Group, and will become an ACM-Fellow in the future. IEEE-Fellow and Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, he is a world-class leader in the field of artificial intelligence and multimedia.

Such a super talent, Snapdragon will definitely not be able to dig it now, but it can win over feelings and establish a good cooperative relationship, so after Du Qiu met Professor Gao at the meeting of the Ministry of Electronics Industry, he used both soft and hard methods, lobbied him in many ways, and fooled him to Cloud City to visit and investigate.

In addition to Professor Gao, the remaining 7 are all senior talents who are interested in joining Snapdragon, aged between 25 and 35, and are in the golden age of their youth, either publishing innovative high-quality papers, or completing complex high-level scientific research projects, and are all young talents with great development potential in the domestic computer field.

In Du Qiu's eyes, these 7 people are like rockets filled with fuel, everything is ready, just a chance to ignite, as long as they are given a good R&D environment and sufficient financial support, plus a little bit of direction, they can soar into the sky and create hundreds of millions of dollars worth of scientific and technological achievements for Snapdragon, so they are very attentive to hospitality, and they are full of thirsty posture, and they will personally take them to visit the residence as soon as they return to Cloud City.

"Old man, look at that building, it's so beautiful, it's the same as the villa of the big family of the Republic of China in the movie. ”

This aunt has a good eye, these buildings are indeed buildings in the Republic of China, designed by the famous architect Professor Yang Tingbao in 1946. Bai Jie temporarily acted as a docent, introducing: "Professor Yang is known as the first person in modern architecture in China, and was elected as a member of the first faculty of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1955, which is equivalent to the current academician, so these buildings are not only beautiful, but also particularly solid, even after decades of wind and rain, there is no problem at all." ”

"It turned out to be designed by academicians, no wonder it's so good-looking. ”

"That pond over there is a lotus pond, right? It looks quite large, at least eight or nine acres. ”

"The area of the lotus pond is a little more than 10 acres, and it is particularly beautiful when the lotus flowers bloom in summer, and many students of the Academy of Fine Arts often come here to sketch. ”

Everyone listened to the introduction, while visiting, while walking towards the model house, there was a person wearing glasses and about the same age as Qin Mu left behind, walking side by side with Du Qiu, and asked: "I heard Qin Mu talk about the smart city pilot zone last night, and it has been approved?"

"It hasn't been officially approved yet, but it's basically a foregone conclusion. Du Qiu spread his hands and said: "Sanjiang Province originally wanted to let Yuncheng eat alone, but it didn't succeed, and a total of five cities were approved to build pilot zones, Beijing, Pujiang, Pengcheng, Jiangcheng and Yuncheng. ”

"Qin Mu said that Cloud City has the highest specifications?"

"Hmm. Several other cities have adopted the model of the Economic Development Zone, demarcating a piece of land as a pilot area, only Yuncheng has adopted a model similar to the Pudong New Area, demarcating a new administrative district as a pilot area, and the level is tentatively set as a deputy department, but I heard that the province is still active, striving to move up one level. Du Qiu glanced at the crowd in front of him and said with a smile: "At present, the plan is still in a state of secrecy, if you want to jump ship and come to Cloud City, it is best to hurry up, otherwise after the plan is announced, the threshold for Snapdragon will be much higher." ”

"Even Qin Mu knows, is it still confidential information?"

"The devil is in the details, the list of cities in the test zone is not confidential, but how to build the test zone is still confidential. Du Qiu didn't want to say more, but just reminded: "Snapdragon will be deeply involved in the construction of the smart city pilot zone, and the funds and scale involved will far exceed your imagination." ”

"Then I'll see. The man smiled, looked at the sparkling pond not far away, and changed the subject: "This hotel is not small, how many buildings are there?"

"Eight buildings were built before the liberation, and six more buildings were expanded at different times after the liberation, a total of 14 buildings, and the nine buildings here are all residential buildings, which can accommodate a total of 160 households. Du Qiu pointed to the opposite side of the lotus pond and introduced: "The five buildings over there are commercial buildings, which were rented out to open video halls and dance halls and other things in the past, and I bought them all and sent them away, ready to transform them into cafes, restaurants, bookstores, bowling alleys and other entertainment and leisure places, which will almost open in June next year." ”

"Sounds pretty good, it's definitely more comfortable to live in than the house assigned by the school. ”

At this time, a woman with short ear-length hair in front of her turned her head and greeted: "Yuzu, what are you talking about with Du Qiu?" Hurry up and keep up, Sister Bai said that she was about to go to the model room. ”

"It's coming. ”

Du Qiu looked at his back, shook his head and smiled.

This person's name is Jiang You, he is Qin Mu's friend, he has outstanding talent and first-class ability, but unfortunately he has a soft personality and is a strict wife, when Snapdragon was just established in March, Du Qiu once wanted to poach him at a high price to join, he himself was very excited, but he was stopped by his wife Yu Shuqin, and he failed to succeed, and now it is the second attempt.

Jiang You quickly caught up with his wife, and said softly and tentatively: "Xiaoqin, I think the environment here is very good, what do you think?"

"You don't even think it's good if you haven't even seen the model house?" Yu Shuqin glanced at him, then raised her voice and asked, "Sister Bai, are there kindergartens and elementary schools around here?"

"Not only yes, but also very good, the kindergarten is an experimental kindergarten directly under the provincial general office, the primary school is the provincial key Hengshan Road Primary School, Mr. Du's nephew will go to this primary school in the second half of next year. ”

"Really?" Yu Shuqin was very surprised when she heard this, turned her head and asked, "Du Qiu, you are so rich, don't you send your nephew to study abroad?"

"I think the quality of basic education in China is very good, not worse than abroad, and children are immature, if they can't adapt to the new environment after going abroad, they are easy to be autistic or extreme, which is not conducive to growth. Du Qiu and his mother are not superstitious about foreign education, and said: "My sister plans to let her baby son finish college in China, and it is up to him to decide whether to study abroad after graduating from college." ”

There is a famous sentence in the "Three Character Classic" "Xi Meng's mother, choose a neighbor", Chinese have always attached importance to education, especially concerned about the school environment and the quality of classmates, seeing that Du Qiu personally assured that his nephew would grow up in China, and just studying in the nearby primary school, the eyes of the families of several talents lit up, and began to tend to support their husbands or sons to jump ship to Snapdragon.

Yu Shuqin is no exception, she is not highly educated, but she is very shrewd, because of Qin Mu's relationship, she knows more information about Du Qiu than others, for example, he is a good teacher, attaches great importance to education, and loves his nephew very much, and has repeatedly said that he wants to train as a successor, so it can be estimated that the teaching quality of this school must be very good, and the future will get better and better......

A few minutes later, when Yu Shuqin came to the dormitory model room, the balance in her heart was even more tilted, because the room was very exquisitely decorated, exquisite and elegant, full of middle-class elite style, furniture and electrical appliances are also imported high-end goods, except for the area is a little small, everything else is in line with the perfect residential image in her heart, in it, trance has become an urban white-collar worker in European and American movies or Dongying TV series.

"Sister Bai, when we moved in, did we have these furniture and electrical appliances?"

"Yes, the full set is complete, you can move in with your bag, if you don't like the furniture and appliances in the model room, you can also replace it with other products of the same grade. Bai Jie patted the leather sofa in the living room with her hand and said, "But tell me in advance, because these furniture are all imported and need to be reserved." ”

"How much is the rent for a month of living here?"

"If you want to come to work in Snapdragon, you can live rent-free for two years, and you only need to pay utility bills and property fees every month. Seeing this, Du Qiu spoke at the right time, and said with a smile: "With your family's grapefruit ability, the annual salary will not be less than 200,000, and after two years, you are fully capable of buying a big house of your own in any city in China, and you don't need to worry about the company." ”

Annual salary of at least 200,000 ......

Buying a house in two years......

As soon as these words came out, not only Yu Shuqin was moved, but also the families of several other talents, because they all lived in the simple dormitories assigned by universities or research institutes, and life was very inconvenient, and owning a big house of their own was the ultimate dream, but with the current salary level, if you don't take out a loan, you have to buy a house of about 100 square meters in the suburbs of Beijing for more than 30 years.

Even Professor Gao, who had been absent-minded, couldn't resist it a little, and sighed: "Xiao Du, if you had returned to China 10 years earlier to found Snapdragon, I would have jumped ship to work for you." ”

"Ten years ago, I was only 12 years old, and if Professor Gao came to work for me, I would have to make a muddy house for you. ”

"Forget it then, haha. ”

After visiting the two model houses, several talents and their families basically lost their ability to resist, and began to plan their future life in Cloud City, one of the aunts in her 50s asked: "I heard that Snapdragon is preparing to build a high-end residential community, can you tell us about it?"

"Okay. Bai Jie prepared very thoroughly, took out a tourist map of Cloud City, pointed to the location of the botanical garden, and said: "Mr. Du invited several world-renowned architectural design firms from Dongying to bid for the best high-end community in China......

"It's too remote here, isn't it?" the aunt interrupted her introduction and questioned, "It's more than ten kilometers away from the city center, I think it's better to ...... here."

"Auntie. Du Qiu concocted the same method, interrupted her words, and said lightly: "In Cloud City, where I live, where is the city center. ”
