One of the best universities for hydraulic engineering in the United States, the University of California, Berkeley.

Wu You hurried to the dormitory and handed the newspaper to his roommate with excitement on his face.

"Sun Qing Sun Qing, read the newspaper quickly!!"

Wu You and Sun Qing are both graduate students in the Department of Hydraulic Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, and will graduate this year.

Wu You said excitedly: "China wants to build the Three Gorges Dam, this is really an amazing feat!" The two of us can return to China to serve the motherland and use what we have learned to do our best for the super project of the Three Gorges Dam! ”

However, after Wu You finished speaking, he didn't notice the embarrassment on Sun Qing's face.

Halfway, Sun Qing said squirmingly: "I'm sorry, Wu You, I'm not going back to China, I've decided to stay in the United States!" ”

"You, what did you say?!"

Wu You's face was stunned, and he even thought that he had heard it wrong.

Seeing this, Sun Qing simply had a complete showdown and said: "My mentor Renard Adam recommended me to work at Emerson in the United States, and I have readily agreed......"

"Sun Qing, how can you do this?! Both of us are state-sponsored publicly-funded students, and before we came to the United States to study, didn't we all say that we should learn our skills well, and then return to China to serve the motherland! And you can't go back now! I really misjudged you, and I've always regarded you as a good brother! ”

Wu You was furious, he never thought that his good brothers and classmates would be nostalgic for the privileged life in the United States, and he was even so angry that he didn't know what to say at the moment.

Sun Qing felt that he could not hold his face, and was ridiculed by his friends as ungrateful, but when he compared his life in China and the United States, he resolutely chose to stay in the United States.

In order to prove that he had made the right choice to stay in the United States, he made excuses and expressed disdain for the "Three Gorges Dam" project.

"What's the good thing about returning to China, do you really think that China can build the Three Gorges Dam? You and I are both top students of water conservancy projects, so we naturally understand how difficult the construction of the Three Gorges Dam is! I don't think that China is capable of building it! In fact, I have just seen the news with my mentor Renard Adam, and even the mentor has questioned the project, claiming that the construction of the Three Gorges Dam project is extremely difficult and China simply cannot build it! If I go back to China, I will only waste my talent! ”

"You're making excuses for your own selfishness!" Wu You sneered, "Okay, I don't bother to argue with you, I will return to China soon to participate in the construction of the Three Gorges Dam project, I believe that we will Chinese be able to complete this super project that has attracted worldwide attention!! ”

After Wu You finished speaking, he left angrily.

When Sun Qing heard this, there was no trace of shame on his face, but he was a little hideous and angry: "You are patriotic, you are noble, you are amazing, I, Sun Qing, just like glory and wealth, and I like the rich life in the United States." Who wants to go back after seeing the prosperity of the United States?! ”

Are there fewer people who come to the U.S. to study and end up staying in the U.S. and are unwilling to return to their home countries?

Sun Qing felt that he had done nothing wrong, everyone had the right to choose life, he was just unwilling to be poor.

……

A few days later, just as Wu You was about to return to China.

A piece of news about Borderless Group made headlines in major media outlets.

"Wujiang Group recently held a press conference, saying that it will spend a huge amount of $15 billion to invest in China's highway ......"

After reading the newspaper, Wu You couldn't help but shout excitedly: "Zhuang!! ”

If you want to get rich, build roads first!

Wujiang Group's investment in expressways will surely make China's transportation industry more and more convenient, thereby promoting the country's economic development.

Chinese mainland is undergoing earth-shaking changes every moment, and Wu You is already impatient to return to China and contribute his own strength!

Wu You is not alone, thousands of overseas students have also resolutely succeeded in their studies and embarked on the road back to China.

……

……

"Leader, this is our Wujiang Group's expressway investment plan, we will follow the investment in Guangzhou-Shenzhen Expressway, and then invest in nine expressways, including: Beijing-Shanghai Expressway, Beijing-Harbin Expressway, Shanghai-Kunming Expressway, Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway, Shenhai Expressway, Changshen Expressway, Shanghai Ring Expressway, Xiamen-Guangzhou Expressway, Capital to Shanghai Expressway!"

Shi Yuanzhou contacted the relevant leaders and spoke.

When the leader heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Few companies in the country are willing to invest in infrastructure, especially highways.

First of all, investing in expressways costs a lot of money and takes a long time to pay back.

Secondly, the profits are not large, at least compared with the real estate and Internet industries.

Therefore, the state is supportive of Wujiang Group's investment in expressways and is happy to see it happen.

After 30 years, the highway belongs to the state.

This is equivalent to Wujiang Group building highways for the country for free, so why not?

Soon, Wujiang Group finalized the investment cooperation with the state.

As soon as the funds are available, the construction of the highway is planned on a large scale, which will require the recruitment of many workers.

Building roads is not a high-level technical job, but anyone who can endure hardships can do it.

However, road builders will give priority to migrants from the Three Gorges Dam.

Wujiang Group's plans are interlocking.

In this way, the resettlement of the Three Gorges Dam can be quickly solved, the pressure on the government to persuade the local people to resettle, and the construction period of the Three Gorges Dam can be shortened.

Chen Li, an old farmer, and his family live in the countryside downstream of the Three Gorges Dam.

"Chen Li, the significance of the country's construction of the Three Gorges Dam must be known to you. The merit is in the contemporary, and the benefit is in the future. Now, many people in the village have agreed to the state's arrangement to emigrate to other places. The village secretary came to persuade Chen Li's family again, "The state is kind to you, not only with the resettlement fee, but also with a job for you." No, the country is now preparing to build a large-scale highway, you have a few strong laborers in your family, you can go to build roads, the monthly salary is 800 yuan, which is more than what you earn from farming at home! ”

Working in the family farm, I can't earn a few dollars a year, and I have enough to eat at most.

If you go to build roads, the monthly salary of 800 yuan is higher than the salary of many people in the city.

Chen Li asked in disbelief: "Secretary, are you sure that the monthly salary is 800 yuan?" ”

The secretary nodded and said, "Of course it's certain!" The company that invested in the construction of the expressway is a well-known Wujiang Group in China, with very strong financial resources, and it is said that there are 100 billion US dollars in cash deposits! According to the current exchange rate between the renminbi and the U.S. dollar, 1 U.S. dollar is equal to about 6 yuan. In other words, Wujiang Group has nearly 600 billion yuan in deposits. A company as big as Wujiang Group, can it still deceive you?! ”

"Oh my god, the Borderless Group is so rich!!" Chen Li had a look of disbelief on his face.

All of his family's savings add up to less than 5,000 yuan.

Wujiang Group has 600 billion.

"The boss of Wujiang Group is so rich, he must eat sea cucumber and abalone every day......" Chen Li sighed, with a look of envy.

"What do you take care of other people's food, do you want to do the work of building roads, if you want to go, go to me to sign up, and arrange it uniformly when the time comes. By the way, the premise is that you agree to immigrate to other places. The senior village official said.

Chen Li grinned: "Such a good thing, why don't you agree!" My family can contribute five strong laborers to build roads, each person is 800 yuan per month, that is, 4,000 yuan, and this year, my family can save 48,000 yuan! When the time comes, my three sons will have the money to marry their daughters-in-law! ”

Rural people are also shrewd and know how to calculate this account.

Working at home farming, you can't save a few dollars all year round, so it's really better to build roads.

It's hard work, but the salary is high, 800 yuan, where to find such a good job!

……

The resettlement of the Three Gorges Dam is proceeding well.

The Three Gorges Dam project was officially launched on February 24, 1993.

More than 60,000 people participated in the construction of the entire project, which is simply shocking.

Zhao Ye saw that the project had finally started ahead of schedule, and his heart was half relieved, and after that, he just had to pay attention to the progress of this project at any time.

During this period, Wujiang Group invested in many projects and spent money like water, but after losing the US market, Wujiang Group's profits fell sharply.

Zhao Ye had to find a way to open the hang and get some more money.

Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio also has an animated film "The Lion King" on hand that has not been released.

If it weren't for the delay caused by many things, the animated movie "The Lion King" would have been released a long time ago.

Without the U.S. market, the revenue of the animated film "The Lion King" will shrink for the most part, and with the addition of peripheral products, it may be a profit of hundreds of millions of dollars.

But it will be a big surprise for the Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio, which has never had such a lucrative animated film before.

In the previous life, the box office of "The Lion King" exceeded $1 billion, and the peripheral income was much higher than the box office. The Disney Company made a lot of money.

In order to hit Disney and Hollywood, Zhao Ye unceremoniously cut off "The Lion King".

Now, the American studio version of "The Lion King" has finally been finalized and will be released worldwide on July 7 during the summer vacation. (Except the United States)

It's still four or five months before the movie comes out.

At this time, Zhao Ye had already decided to deal a heavy blow to Hollywood in the United States in the movie.

It took him some time to curate three projects.

First, in the Chinese version of "Independence Day", a huge spaceship that reaches hundreds of miles approaches the Earth, and then levitates over the transformed Lujiazui, and Zhao Ye directly moves the story to China.

Second, the Chinese version of Pirates of the Caribbean - "Pirates of the South China Sea". In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, there were many Chinese pirates, wouldn't there be more to write about than the Caribbean pirates?

and then "Titanic", and Zhao Ye has even written the script, the script written by James Cameron in his previous life is already perfect, otherwise this movie would not have touched so many people.

No one dares to invest in the movie "Titanic" now, but Zhao Ye dares to let the money that Hollywood film companies should make to Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio, which is very happy.

Of course, there is another very important reason, which is to cultivate digital light and magic companies.

At present, Digital Light & Magic is about to finish the movie special effects of "Jurassic Park", and can take on the film special effects projects of "Independence Day", "Pirates of the South Seas" and "Titanic".

Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio.

Zhao Ye handed over the project he had planned for many days to the executives of the American Film Studio.

"Today, Borderless Group has banned its entry into the U.S. market. If we don't make a statement, the United States will still think that our Borderless Group is easy to bully. I have decided to snipe at all aspects of country M in the business field, including the film and television industry! Zhao Ye said in a deep voice.

"Although the planning plans of "Independence Day" and "Pirates of the South Sea" are relatively detailed, the specific content needs to be improved, and I require the plot to be ups and downs, fewer loopholes, and the special effects scenes are grand and shocking!"

"The movie "Titanic" approached James Cameron and asked him if he was interested in directing, if he didn't want to, then we would find a domestic director to shoot it ourselves."

With good ideas and good stories, coupled with powerful special effects, the box office will not be too low after all, and Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio is also cultivating its own directors.

If Zhao Ye wasn't afraid that others would ruin the classic movie "Titanic", he wouldn't have let people go to James Cameron.

There are still too few powerful directors who make this kind of blockbuster in China.

Zhao Ye hesitated for a moment, and said to everyone: "Send a copy of the script to Zhang Yimou, see if he is interested in filming "Titanic", ......"

Now, the relationship between the Borderless Group and Country M has reached the freezing point, and Hollywood will also collectively reject the Borderless Group. James Cameron is afraid of being banned, and may not dare to make a movie about Borderless Group.

There are only a few people in China who have the ability to shoot "Titanic", Zhao Ye thinks about it, and there are only a few, and Zhang Yimou may be more powerful.

The male protagonist has to be Xiao Lizi, because he is handsome.

The heroine, it's best to use the original person.

The other actors are also casual.

There are a lot of newcomer actors who want to get ahead, no matter if they are blocked or not, they will definitely not let go of a big-budget movie with an investment of up to 200 million US dollars.

More than an hour later, Zhao Ye left the Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio.

Then let the driver take him to the MP3 R&D department.

Zhao Ye has already done some work on Hollywood movies, and the next thing is for American record companies.

The launch of MP3 players will surely stimulate the development of pirated music websites around the world.

Everyone wants to download pirated music, and the traffic of pirated music websites naturally increases.

The U.S. Records is now unable to enter the U.S. market, so what can you do with the U.S. Record Company?

What's more, Wujiang Group only develops MP3 players, and does not make pirated music. What does the proliferation of pirated music have to do with our Wujiang Group?

Not long after, Zhao Ye and others came to the MP3 player development department.

The person in charge immediately introduced the development progress of MP3 to Zhao Ye.

There are two main difficulties in MP3 players, one is the MP3 decoding chip, and the other is storage.

But this is not a big problem for the Borderless Group.

This MP3 player was designed by Zhao Ye himself, and its appearance is completely similar to the first-generation iPod model, and even the brand name is completely identical.

Zhao Ye played with the iPod in his hand, and his heart was full of joy.

"Boss, the iPod player has basically been successfully developed, and it is currently being tested to see if there are any bugs...... The biggest problem right now, though, is that we don't have enough music rights. The person in charge worried.

Zhao Ye smiled and said, "Don't worry, this time, we ...... in vain Ahem, no music copyright is required. The mountain people have their own tricks! ”
