"Dai Yi, go find Mr. Yang's assistant and bring the clip clip just now."

"OK."

Dai Yi quickly walked into the lounge with the clipping clips that Yang Fan had displayed. Du Qiu used him as a guise and read the reports of questioning and attacking the higher education system again. Then he picked out a few more insightful copies and ordered: "Fax these reports to Mr. Liu and ask him to find out who was instructing him behind the scenes."

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

"These articles are clumsy and have too low grades. They are taken directly to Lawyer Hu of the Legal Department and asked him to deal with them." Du Qiu put the college entrance examination materials in his file bag and held them in his hand and asked: "Is the preliminary planning map of the smart city experimental zone in the strategic intelligence room?"

"Here I am."

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

After Snapdragon opened its official forum in May, several special gossip employees built a high-rise post called "Rumor Harvester", which enjoyed collecting various gossips from celebrities and entertainment stars. This post was very popular, and there were tens of thousands of replies in less than two months. There were many real shady stories and a lot of online slander was born. It was the most popular post on the domestic Internet in 1995.

During the Internet Conference in August, at the request of many netizens, the forum specially added a new section called "Goggy Words" to the gossipers based on this. In 1995, the computer was expensive and the Internet fee was also expensive. Most netizens who often rush to the Internet were doing well. The social class was relatively high, but they did not have a strong sense of confidentiality. Therefore, in this section, there are often some very valuable policies and economic information that ordinary people cannot access, but are very valuable.

Shortly after taking office, Yang Fan discovered the importance of this section, so he recruited several talents who were good at collecting and analyzing information and set up an online public opinion room. After Du Qiu proposed the concept of a smart city in November, he needed a lot of information and data to write the draft, so he upgraded the online public opinion room to a strategic intelligence room, which specifically provides information support for the company's strategic decision-making.

The strategic intelligence room is located at the innermost part of the east side of the 18th floor. It used to be Chen Dayou's office, which was decorated very luxuriously, but the wine cabinet, refrigerator and leather sofa were all moved away and replaced with printers, scanners, server-level computers and two rows of large, tall and wide bookcases.

A man wearing glasses was scanning the document inside. The man's name was Chu Guocai. He used to work in the Archives Management Section of Sanjiang Provincial Press Group. He was shy. When he saw Du Qiu coming in, he greeted him with some restraint: "Mr. Du, hello, that."

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

"I'll help you get it here." Chu Guocai was very familiar with all the information in the room. He took out the planning sketch of the smart city experimental zone from the bookcase very quickly, spread it on the only preserved mahogany desk in the office, pressed it with paperweight, and said, "Mr. Du, look."

From the map, Yuncheng is like a spread out egg cake. It has 4 districts and 3 counties under its jurisdiction, covering an area of ​​about 7,800 square kilometers, equivalent to 3.5 Tokyo. Apart from a few hills, it is all plains. It can be said to be a flat river and a fertile field of thousands of miles. It was once regarded as a grain production base by the state for a long time, so industry and commerce were not very developed. The urban area for which it was truly built and developed was only more than 500 square kilometers, and even the first ring road had not been completed, which was very shabby.

In this environment, planning a new area is like painting on white paper, drawing whatever you want, so the preliminary planning is very bold. I directly circled an area of ​​about 1,800 square kilometers in the southwest, which is 1.5 times that of Pudong New Area. It is almost impossible to be approved. Even if it is approved, it is impossible to have money to build it.

According to Du Qiu's calculations, in the next 20 years, even if the whole province of Sanjiang Province is in power, it can only build a new district of about 200 square kilometers in Yuncheng. If there are more, unless the state directly governs Yuncheng and then calls on all parts of the country to contribute money and people to help, it is better to take a shower and go to bed.

200 square kilometers sounds not big, but it is not small. It requires at least a trillion yuan investment to build it. The truly prosperous core area is estimated to be no more than 50 square kilometers. After all, Manhattan in New York is only 60 square kilometers.

Humans are natural animals and are very sensitive to the environment. For psychological security, when building new cities on the plains, they will definitely choose places with mountains and water. Therefore, the core area of ​​the experimental zone is either near the Majiaqiao Reservoir or near Qingyun Mountain. In addition, other places are not attractive. Now the province and the city have chosen to build government and business districts near the Majiaqiao Reservoir. Therefore, if the software park is relocated, it is best to replace the land near Qingyun Mountain. There is also a lake here, which has huge development potential.

Du Qiu's eyes moved back and forth on the planning sketch, staring at Majiaqiao Reservoir, and then turning to Qingyun Mountain, as if he was playing the famous simulation business game "Urban: Skyline". He just opened a new stage and was struggling to choose the initial construction site. This supreme pleasure and huge challenge of playing reality as a virtual game made him obsessed with it and could hardly extricate himself.

"Assistant Chu, what's the name of this lake near Datao Shu Village?"

"It is said that this is a lake that fell and smashed out by a meteorite, so it is called Xingxing Lake."

"How many people are there in the area surrounded by Qingyun Mountain, Da Taoshu Village, Xingxing Lake, Botanical Garden?"

"Is this area?" Chu State just looked at the planning map and sang it out quickly, saying: "This area involves 15 natural villages. According to statistics in 1990, there are about 20,000 to 28,000 people."

“Where is the area?”

“There are about 9,100 acres, which is about 6 square kilometers.”

Awesome, it's a personal calculator...

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

Du Qiu was thinking, but Yang Fan pushed open the door and asked, "Mr. Du, is there anything you need to ask me?"

"What did the city say about the land replacement of the software park?"

"The city proposed two plans." Yang Fan pulled out a pencil from the pen holder and 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 the 150 acres of the first phase."

The software park originally only spent 500 yuan per mu of Snapdragon. Now the city recovered it for 10,000 yuan, and it has increased its value by 20 times in a few months. The conditions are very generous, but people are not satisfied with their hearts. Du Qiu knew very well that after the land was taken back, the city could immediately sell it for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. If it is left until 2000, it will increase its value to millions per mu. Therefore, he was not moved by this plan and asked: "What about the second plan?"

"The second plan is to replace land in other areas. Different areas and different replacement ratios are also different." Yang Fan drew three circles on the planning map with a pencil and said: "A place 2 kilometers west of Majiaqiao Reservoir can be exchanged for 1.5 mu, and a place about 1.5 kilometers south of the Botanical Garden can be exchanged for 1 mu. There is also a place between Qingyun Mountain and Dataoshu Village, 1 mu can be exchanged for 3 mu."

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

"Yes, the experts from the China Academy of Regulations have suggested this, and the province and the city have basically reached a consensus." Yang Fan saw Du Qiu staring at Qingyun Mountain and was a little puzzled, saying: "With Yuncheng's financial situation, it will take at least 10 years to expand to Qingyun Mountain. So I think the land on the south side of the Botanical Garden is the best choice, which is moderately far away from the planned business district, and it will not affect our development of the Botanical Garden."

"If Yuncheng had to do it by itself, it might not have been able to expand here in 20 years, but..." Du Qiu also pulled a pencil from the pen holder, and explained while drawing the virtual drawing on the planning map: "If you build a university town here in Xingxing Lake, divert the students of several universities in the city, and then build a software park here in Dataoshu Village. A two-pronged approach will be carried out. At most, this area will flourish in five years."

"Build a university town?" Yang Fan's eyes lit up, but he quickly shook his head and said, "These universities in Yuncheng are all in the city. They have no motivation to move to the suburbs, and they do not have enough financial resources to build a university town."

"If there is no motivation, we will help them create motivation." Du Qiu smiled, took out the college entrance examination materials from the file bag, and said: "You just said that recently, many media have used me as an example to prove that there are problems in the domestic higher education system. We can use the power to fight and use this public opinion."

Yang Fan was a little confused. He took the college entrance examination materials and glanced at them, and asked, "How do you want to use them?"

"I am going to hold a press conference to say that there is indeed a problem in the domestic higher education system, and the key to 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: "The enrollment is expanded at least 20% every year. By 2000, the enrollment scale of undergraduate students will double compared to now, reaching 1 million. In order to meet the needs of new students to enroll in the future, a university town must be built."

"Extend recruitment?" Yang Fan showed a sarcastic smile on his lips and asked back: "What reason does Mr. Du make the superior agree to the expansion recruitment?"

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

"Secondly, Chinese people attach the most importance to their children's education. The economy has been unstable in the past two years and their consumer confidence is seriously insufficient. In order to stimulate consumption and boost the economy, enrollment needs to be expanded..."

"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 towards the middle and high-end. The number of college students is seriously insufficient and it needs to expand enrollment..."

"Fourth, China has many talented talents like me. Unfortunately, it was delayed by the high threshold of university and did not get the opportunity to display its talents, so it needs to expand its enrollment..."

There are many reasons for the expansion of university enrollment. Du Qiu only said four things. Chu Guo, who was listening, nodded frequently and agreed: "Mr. Du is right. Universities should be expanded. I once read a report saying that the enrollment rate of colleges of China for young people aged 18 to 22 is only 2.4%, while South Korea is 51%, Thailand is 19%, India is 8%, and South Korea is a developed country. That's fine, but Thailand and India are not as good as China, and the enrollment rate is several times higher than ours. It's too unreasonable!"

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

"The statistics done by the World Bank should not be wrong."

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

"Come and copy one for me." Yang Fan ordered, then looked down at the planning map. 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 will not change the policies easily. How likely do you think is the way we promote the expansion of enrollment in universities?"

"Enrollment expansion is imperative. Even if we do nothing, the top will implement it at the latest for three years." Du Qiu made this judgment without any pressure and said with a smile: "But you are right, education should not be easily moved, so any policy must be fully demonstrated and tested. In the name of the Smart City Experimental Zone, we applied to the Ministry of Education and the Provincial Government to build a university town and promote several universities in Yuncheng to conduct experiments on enrollment expansion. Do you think the success rate will be much higher?"

"In this case, I support the replacement of the land in the Software Park near Da Taoshu Village." Yang Fan no longer objected and said: "Snapdragon alone is probably not enough. Mr. Du would better communicate with Mr. Chen's father."

"I'll go find him tonight."
