"You're right, Haizhou City didn't have such a proposal, after all, Haizhou City didn't have an industrial base in this area, if you rashly put it forward, wouldn't you be laughing and generous?" Bao Feiyang said to Xu Ruolin: "But we have always had such thoughts in Haizhou. ”

"So, Director Bao, you have to prove to Shanshui Group that you have such a plan, not a temporary idea, or a temporary plan specifically for this investment promotion action." Xu Ruolin unceremoniously pointed out the key points and said, in fact, the point she said should also be the focus of South Korea's Shanshui Group when deciding whether to invest in Haizhou.

Fangyuan Tianxia Information Consulting Co., Ltd. mainly undertakes information and management consulting services of enterprises, among which there are many multinational enterprises or foreign investors who want to figure out the investment prospects of projects and places, so Xu Ruolin is no stranger to such things, and she quickly empathizes with her rich experience and thinks of the key points considered by the other party.

Bao Feiyang took out a stack of documents from the briefcase he carried, flipped out a copy from it, and then turned to the corresponding page and spread it out and pushed it in front of Xu Ruolin: "This document was put forward by us at the party congress of Haizhou City at the end of last year, and it was proposed to focus on building the Haizhou Lingang Development Zone and revitalizing the development blueprint of Haizhou Bay's economy. ”

"This is the future development plan of the Lingang Development Zone that I put forward when I came to Haizhou City to take up my post and reported to Secretary Xue, the leader of the Haizhou Municipal Party Committee, which regards ship repair and construction as one of the three key points of the Lingang Development Zone." Bao Feiyang took out another material from the stack of texts and handed it to Xu Ruolin, who was sitting opposite him: "The shipbuilding industry is the key industry of our Haizhou Lingang Economic Development Zone, and the Lingang Economic Development Zone is the focus of Haizhou's future development. ”

Xu Ruolin took the information handed to her by Bao Feiyang, opened it and took a brief look, but smiled slightly playfully and said to Bao Feiyang: "The four key economic cores? That said, there are other economic cores in Jiangbei Province that are not the focus of building. I don't know how many there are? ”

"Haha!" Bao Feiyang snorted, smiled helplessly and shook his head, Xu Ruolin's words can be described as quite sharp, but it also shows a very helpless reality in Huaxia's current local economic development, that is, the local economic development plan taken out by the government is often not the most reasonable. It is the final result of the balance of power in all aspects.

"Well, no matter what, Haizhou is also the economic core of the provincial level, and this point has a red-headed text issued by the province, which cannot be faked. By the way, if Shanshui Group wants to investigate the feasibility of the project, they will also find a local consulting company? ”

Xu Ruolin said with a smile: "Yes, but Korean companies, like the Japanese, trust the information consulting agencies that have cooperated with their countries in the past." Or those world-renowned consulting firms. When Shanshui Machinery first entered Huaxia Investment, it was looking for Japan's Nomura Credit, and they bought an industry analysis report from Nomura. If they really want to invest in shipyards in China in the future, they will normally look for Nomura Credit, who has a basis of cooperation with them and is more well-known. ”

"Mr. Bao doesn't want us to fight for this business order of Shanshui Group, right?"

Bao Feiyang sighed and shook his head at Xu Ruolin: "I have this idea, but I also know that this is not in line with the rules of the consulting industry, although we do not have a formal business relationship yet." However, you can also be regarded as providing consulting services for our Lingang Development Zone, and if you serve the relevant parties. That would be a violation, and if it was exposed, the goodwill of the other party's Yuantianxia Information Consulting Company would be fatally damaged. ”

Xu Ruolin couldn't help but glance deeply at Bao Feiyang, who was sitting opposite her, in fact, she took the initiative to mention this in her words just now, because she was worried that Bao Feiyang would have such an idea, if Bao Feiyang made this request to herself. At that time, it will be difficult for her to refuse, after all, Bao Feiyang was introduced by the headquarters of Fangxia Group, and was told to take good care of the VIPs, so it is better to speak out first, and block the words that the other party may say. lest you be embarrassed. Moreover, Fangyuan Information Consulting Company, as an information and management consulting agency, pays special attention to information collection, so she also knows that the relationship between Bao Feiyang and Bao Wenying, the CEO of Fangxia Ceramics Group, is very special, although it is not clear what kind of relationship they have.

Bao Feiyang not only knows the rules of the consulting industry, but also knows how to consider the other party, respect the rules of the industry, and not embarrass her, instead of just starting from his own interests like many other entrusted clients, which surprised Xu Ruolin, and couldn't help but increase her good impression of Bao Feiyang.

Xu Ruolin nodded at Bao Feiyang, and said very sincerely: "Okay, thank you Mr. Bao for your understanding, there has just been news from the Korean side of this matter, and it just so happens that we have a team working there, and the company will let them continue to pay attention to this matter." ”

"Due to the tight schedule, the information we collect is relatively limited, and we hope that Mr. Bao will provide us with as much information as possible about Haizhou City and Lingang Economic Development Zone, and then we will do our best to compile an analysis report." Xu Ruolin said that if she was originally a little resistant to such an unconventional project, now she seems to be more proactive.

"As for Shanshui Group and even Nomura Credit, we will also take the initiative to make some contacts, of course, we will tell each other that we have a service relationship with Lingang Development Zone, this kind of contact is very common in our consulting industry, of course, the more important contact must be your Haizhou City in person." Xu Ruolin said while cleaning up the materials on the table.

"Thank you!" Bao Feiyang stood up, stretched out his hand, and politely shook hands with Xu Ruolin: "Miss Xu, if you are free, I will invite you to have a meal tonight, and a few other friends will come over." ”

Xu Ruolin blinked, looked up at Bao Feiyang, and asked with some curiosity: "What kind of friend, does it have anything to do with this matter?" ”

Xu Ruolin raised the materials in her hand that she was sorting out just now as she spoke.

Bao Feiyang nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, there are also people from Haizhou City, they should have brought the materials you need." Secretly said in her heart, this Xu Ruolin is really dedicated. It seems that if it had nothing to do with this matter, she would definitely not have come.

"Okay, I'll go over in the evening, Mr. Bao, if you have something to do, go and get busy first, I'll take a look at these materials here first." Xu Ruolin sat down again as she spoke, opened the information that Bao Feiyang had just handed her and looked at it carefully.

Bao Feiyang watched Xu Ruolin sit down again. I couldn't help but shrug my shoulders a little stunned, I originally thought that I had just talked about that Cheng dù, and then it should be the two of them leaving the airport together, as for this material, of course, I would wait until I went back and then read it slowly. Xu Ruolin came to the airport, not only to meet with him and talk about this consulting business, but also to be responsible for reception, as well as the task of picking him up to the city, but according to the current situation. With a strong woman's personality, she apparently did not have the idea of performing the latter task, but immediately threw herself into a high-speed work state.

Bao Feiyang raised his wrist and looked at the time on the watch, thought about it anyway, there was nothing urgent now, so he simply sat down, took out the notebook in the bag, and then beckoned the waiter to come over, took the menu and ordered two cups of Blue Mountain coffee, and asked if there was any Internet in this café.

The café conditions of Hucheng Airport are second to none in China. Although the Internet is still a new thing in China, the airport café that is at the forefront of the times also provides Internet services for customers who come to visit. It's just that at that time, not every café seat was equipped with an Internet interface, and only a few tables had it, so Bao Feiyang had to change places and have to pay for Internet access.

Xu Ruolin also stood up, holding a stack of materials in her hand and followed Bao Feiyang to a new place, she glanced at Bao Feiyang fiddling with a fashionable and novel laptop in her hand. couldn't help but be attracted to his eyes, looked carefully, and said with some envy: "Director Bao, IBM's, it has to be tens of thousands, right?" ”

Bao Feiyang connected his laptop to the Internet with the help of the café waiter. Then open the email and download the newly received message locally.

In 1996 and 1997, computers in China had gradually begun to enter the lives of individuals and families, and computer teaching had become more common in urban school education, especially cheap and alternative computers such as learning machines had become very popular in the market. Companies such as Fangyuan Tianxia Information Consulting Company have been equipped with desktop computers for necessary positions, but the price of desktop computers at this time is not cheap, and a 486 computer costs thousands of yuan.

However, compared with portable computers, that is, notebook computers, desktop computers are very "cheap and beautiful", an ordinary notebook computer is about 4,000 US dollars, that is, more than 30,000 yuan, and a slightly better configuration of the computer, the sales price is more than 6 or 7,000 US dollars, for example, Bao Feiyang's 1996 IBM product ThinkPad760CD cost 8,000 US dollars, and the domestic price is more than 70,000 yuan. Even Xu Ruolin, a senior white-collar worker, has a high income in terms of the domestic average, but she can't afford to buy such a laptop.

Bao Feiyang said: "Yes, but I think this thing will soon be worthless." ”

As soon as Xu Ruolin heard this, she immediately became interested, she put down the materials she was about to look at carefully and asked Bao Feiyang: "Why, do you think that the progress of technology will make the price of portable computers drop rapidly?" Like Moore's Law? ”

Even if it is the best café in Shanghai, the network speed at this time is very slow, Bao Feiyang replied to Xu Ruolin while waiting for the email to be downloaded successfully: "Yes, you can understand it this way, I think that in two or three years, the price of notebooks will drop significantly, and it will drop to the level that ordinary people will not find it difficult to buy, just like the current desktops, and then in two or three years, they will become cheaper again, and finally the mainstream configuration will stabilize at the level of three or four thousand yuan, of course, I'm referring to business jets. ”

Xu Ruolin blinked her eyes and listened carefully, this is a topic she is very interested in, as a person from an information consulting agency, the computer is an indispensable office configuration, and she usually uses it a lot in her work, so she also has a certain understanding of this aspect.

She said to Bao Feiyang: "Of course, laptops are originally for business. And the prospect you describe is very tempting, which also means that, maybe in two or three years, the kind of machine you have in your hands now will become a useless lump of iron? ”

Bao Feiyang chatted with Xu Ruolin for a while about the future development of computers, and Xu Ruolin seemed very interested in it. She agrees with Bao Feiyang's point of view and believes that the computer industry has a lot of room for development in the future, but Bao Feiyang's words are actually bolder than her ideas, and they always make her feel bright.

"I think the development of computers has roughly gone through such a process, first of all, it is the digitization of numbers, so computers were originally called computers, mainly used to calculate numbers; And then gradually, computers began to be able to process more things, such as helping us to process documents, and I think at this stage it was the beginning of digitizing and digitizing text information, so that we could write reports and store text information on it, which is the business computer ......"

"Then, we began to turn pictures, sounds, and even moving images into electronic information, which can be input and output on the computer, which is a multimedia computer."

"I think the development of technology in the future is this route, all information will be electronic and digitized, and the development of technology is to make this process easier and higher."

What Bao Feiyang said was a bit abstract, but Xu Ruolin had a feeling of sudden realization. In the past, she always felt that the business attribute of computers was relatively large, but Bao Feiyang's words pointed directly to the essence of computers, that is, to digitize all information, words can be digitized, and pictures can of course be used. If you analyze it carefully, the computer has changed the way of writing reports, the way of drawing paper, the way of picture processing, and the way of processing sound and images, as technology becomes more and more popular, the industries and behaviors related to these will change, and that change will be earth-shaking.

"I suddenly felt that if I didn't join this change now, I would regret it in the future." Xu Ruolin said suddenly. (To be continued......)
