Chapter 275: An Invitation from the Mainland
Zuo Shaoji is worthy of being an expert in agriculture, and after his team joined, it only took half a day to find out the experimental data that Ling Shizhe had worked hard to make these days, and also pointed out several mistakes.
The next day, they all entered the state of work, they were all experts in agriculture, more than a hundred times stronger than Ling Shizhe's two knives, plus it was teamwork, and the relevant data on the production of potato noodles was quickly taken out.
Not only were yellow potato noodles made, but purple potato noodles, red potato noodles, and black potato noodles were quickly made, and potato bread and potato cakes were also made.
At the same time, Zuo Shaoji also specially configured a compound collagen polypeptide powder according to the attributes of potatoes, added it to the potato flour and flour mixture in a certain proportion, and pressed it into a dough under 6 tons of high pressure, and the reticulated gluten tissue structure inside will become very stable, which is many times better than the collagen powder that Ling Shizhe originally used.
This new type of compound collagen polypeptide powder also greatly improves the toughness of the dough, Ling Shizhe experimented, a 1.5-meter-wide dough that is three points thinner than paper, can withstand 18.6 kilograms of weight without breaking.
With such strong toughness, Ling Shizhe doubts that such noodles can be delicious?
The answer was soon revealed, Zuo Shaoji is also a gourmet, and he will have good cooking skills, cutting the dough into noodles by hand, and making a large plate of pasta for the farm workers to taste, he has nothing to say.
Those farm workers devoured them one by one, and even Ling Shizhe, who didn't like pasta very much, ate them with relish. This is a testament to the fact that the dough that can withstand a weight of 18.6 kg tastes excellent.
Zuo Shaoji told Ling Shizhe. "Actually, if you look closely, you will see that the noodles taste very good. His toughness is usually stronger than that of ordinary noodles, this is because the gluten in the noodles is working, the gluten in the noodles is generally reticulated and divided, if the thinner and more uniform the divisions, the toughness and elasticity of the noodles will be stronger, and the better it will taste.
The noodles are so good that they have a good chewiness, and the so-called chewiness is the comfort that people produce in the process of biting into food, expressed by the damping coefficient, which has been studied. The best damping coefficient for food chewing is 1.8, above or below this value, the food will become unpalatable, and the closer to the value of 1.8, the person will feel very comfortable when eating, the more comfortable he will be, the more delicious he will feel the food. ”
Ling Shizhe can be regarded as knowledgeable, but he didn't expect that whether the food is delicious or not is related to the data, that is not to say. If all foods are based on the 1.8 figure, can you make the most delicious food in the world?
Zuo Shaoji denied: "Theoretically right, but in fact wrong, because people enjoy food." It is not only an indicator of the comfort of biting food, but also the appetite stimulation caused by the taste and aroma of food, which is also a key factor in determining whether the food is delicious or not. And taste and fragrance determine people's taste habits. And everyone's taste is different, and some like spicy food. Some like to eat sour, and some like to eat sweet. Different people have their own taste preferences.
Whether the dish is good or not, whether it meets the taste of the public, mainly depends on the cooking skills of the kitchen magician (chef). The only thing we can do is to process the potato noodles as close to 1.8 as possible. ”
Ling Shizhe originally planned to stay in the third sister's farm for a few days before leaving, but when he was about to go back, Alison sent a special invitation.
This is an invitation from the Republic of China, inviting Ling Shizhe to go to the mainland for an academic visit.
Alison told him on the phone that not only Ling Shizhe, but also many famous Chinese scientists in Europe and the United States, such as Ding Zhaozhong, also received the same invitation as Ling Shizhe.
"What do you think about Alison?"
Allison said on the phone: "Boss, if you are a simple Hong Kong or Canadian, it is not a bad thing to go to the mainland, since the coup in China in October, the world has a premonition that the policy of Chinese mainland will change, China is currently the world's largest country that has not been developed by the Western commodity economy, and her market potential is very huge."
However, you are also a high-ranking general of the Kuomintang/Kuomintang/Party, and the two sides of the strait are now in the stage of military confrontation, and it is difficult to predict what political consequences will be if you go to China. ”
Although Alison is a Westerner, as Ling Shizhe's subordinate, he still has a lot of effort into China's history and culture, and he still has a relatively good understanding of China's current situation, unlike many Westerners, who don't even know which continent China is on the earth.
"Do you think the mainland will detain me?" Ling Shizhe asked.
"No, I've checked it, the invitation is from the mainland, and they won't do it, but if you go to China, it's hard to say how the Taiwan authorities will react, after all, we're talking to them about investment now." Allison voiced his analysis.
In March of this year, that is, in March of '76, Taiwan's Legislative Council and the two houses of Taiwan's Executive Yuan passed a new version of the "Foreign Investment in Taiwan Law," which stipulates that, except for special industries, foreign businessmen who invest and set up factories in Taiwan are allowed to exist in the form of sole proprietorship, and may not engage in joint ventures with the authorities and local enterprises.
This is one of the biggest changes made in the Taiwan/Gulf policy since Chiang/Jing/Guo came to power, because Taiwan's economic development has reached the window period of transformation to today, from the original labor-intensive to high value-added technology-based, and then with the original policy that foreign investment in Taiwan must be joint ventures with the Taiwan authorities or joint ventures with Taiwan enterprises, it can no longer meet the needs of Taiwan/Bay's future economic development, and it is imperative to cancel it, and only by allowing foreign businessmen to build factories or wholly-owned enterprises in the country, can Taiwan/Bay complete its industrial transformation.
Chiang Ching-kuo still saw this very clearly on this point, so he asked the executive and legislative houses to pass this law.
However, the passage of the law is not easy, and the resistance comes from the conservative forces in Taiwan/the Gulf, who are all direct or indirect beneficiaries from the joint venture economy, and they are the biggest victims after allowing wholly foreign-owned enterprises. Because for the past few decades, they have been the local head snakes. Relying on joint ventures with foreign businessmen, you don't need to pay anything yourself. You can sit back and enjoy huge profits.
And once the law allowing WFOE is passed, they still want to be like it used to be, so they are trying to prevent the passage of the new law by all means. It's a pity that no matter how much trouble they make, but the new monarch is determined to make a decision, they can only stare dryly.
Among them, a few disobedient and wanted to make a fuss were all cleaned up by Xinjun, so that they could see what official law is.
After the passage of the Foreign Investment in Taiwan Act, the Taiwan authorities have established a commercial office in Canada. I found Ling Shizhe, hoping that Ambrera would invest in Taiwan.
Ling Shizhe discussed with Allison and Foster, first make a trial, first build a wholly-owned battery factory in Taiwan to test the water, if the effect is good, there is no mess of fucking things, and then all the battery factories in Hong Kong will be moved to Taiwan/Bay to make room for Ambrera Aerodynamics.
Hong Kong is so small that you have to find a place to build a factory. Ling Shizhe is really fed up.
There are two battery factories in Hong Kong, one in Kwun Tong next to the "Billion Chip Industrial Park", which will vacate him, and the chip industrial park will expand in the future. The other is in the New Territories. The proximity to the aeronautical power laboratory, 600 acres of land is also convenient for upgrading the aeronautical power laboratory into a factory in the future.
When the aero engine laboratory was first established, Alison advocated for the laboratory to be built in Canada. Because the place is big enough, Ling Shizhe doesn't want Canada to enjoy the benefits of the aero engine industry. I'd rather spend more money on my own and build the laboratory in Hong Kong. However, due to the fact that Hong Kong is too small, Ling Shizhe built the main laboratory in Hong Kong and a branch laboratory in Raccoon Town.
If the battery factory can be relocated to Taiwan/Bay, the vacated land will be completely sufficient, and the branch laboratory in Raccoon Town will be moved to Hong Kong, so that everyone will not have to work so hard at both ends.
In addition, there is also a Hong Kong television, electric fan and radio and washing machine factory in the New Territories, all of which are the property of the Qin family in Nanyang, who moved to Hong Kong during the Indonesian Chinese exclusion period in the 60s, and these three factories add up to 1,800 acres.
In the past ten years, there have been a lot of immigrants in Hong Kong, which has caused the population to increase dramatically, and it has approached the critical point of Hong Kong's population capacity.
So Ling Shizhe instructed Andy, who was in charge of Hong Kong. Grove, no matter what, I'm going to take all the land down.
Andy. Grove found the Qin family for the first time, and the method he used was very simple, because the Qin family was one of the display foundries of Apple, as long as the land was sold to Ambrera, the Qin family would gain the friendship of Ambrera, and there would be a certain tilt towards them in the display OEM order in the future.
Andy didn't say what would happen if the land wasn't sold to Ambrera, but the subtext in it was something that everyone could hear.
Qin Lutian was so angry that he claimed to complain to Ling Shizhe, but Andy only said one sentence, "You are not qualified to bargain with us, you only have two choices: agree and disagree, but my boss also said that we have cooperated for so many years, and we have cooperated very happily with each other, and I hope to continue to cooperate." Since we are business partners, we will not let our friends suffer, and the price is easy to say. ”
I didn't expect Qin Lutian to agree immediately, Andy. Grove gave him plenty of time to think about it, once the Qin family's land was merged, Ling Shizhe would be able to establish a complete aero-engine industrial park integrating R&D and production in Hong Kong.
Fortunately, it was in the seventies, if it was a few years later, Ling Shizhe wanted to build an aero engine factory in Hong Kong, it could only be wishful thinking, and the expensive land cost alone was not something Ling Shizhe could afford, not to mention facing a series of diplomacy caused by Sino-British negotiations.
It can be said that the timing of Ling Shizhe's rebirth is very good, he has enough time to lay out Hong Kong, after all, as a Chinese, he does not want Hong Kong to return to the mainland, always have trouble with the mainland, in fact, the gap between Hong Kong and the mainland, the root cause is still caused by Hong Kong's deformed real estate economy.
98 years Southeast Asian economic crisis affected Hong Kong, 03 years Hong Kong economy began to recover, but Hong Kong's GDP growth rate is only 0.3% per year, and Li / Jia / Cheng led by the real estate predators, from 03 to 08 years, the wealth of real estate developers has increased dozens of times, especially Li / Jia / Cheng, to 15 years, his wealth has increased nearly 100 times, and at the same time Hong Kong's bottom people's life, but Wang Xiaoer's New Year, year by year.
Hong Kong's employment pressure is the highest in China, coupled with perverted housing prices and rents, they don't have to make trouble, plus the stirring up of Western forces...... Hmph, there are all kinds of strange things, and Ling Shizhe doesn't think it's any strange.
"Alison, I'm not going, but I've written a poem, and you can give it to them." Ling Shizhe hung up the phone. (To be continued......)
