The Goddess Shines on America - Chapter 646
For people in small towns in the central and western regions, every visitor from the eastern and western metropolises is a “pretendingly rich man.”
Fortunately, Utah is not Idaho, and the acceptance of outsiders is still very strong. The latter is completely a holy land for Christians. Forty% of Protestants and 30% of eschatology occupy most of the state of the world, while atheists only have one-tenth. I can imagine what the result would be if the foreign students from the non-Christian world passed by accidentally.
Utah is located in northeastern California, separated by mountains by Nevada. Self-driving passengers can choose whether to go to Las Vegas on their way to and from the West Coast. It is dominated by the Rocky Mountains, the Colorado Plateau and the Great Salt Lake Desert. Eighty percent of the population of more than two million is gathered in the capital Salt Lake City. It is imaginable how barren and lonely the outer world is.
At the foot of the Aklay Mountains in the Rocky Mountains, there is a small city called Lakun with a total population of only three thousand. It uses mining as its main source of income. Sixty percent of the male labor force in the city is engaged in this occupation. Of course, in the salt lake desert some distance from Lakun, there are also many military bases, rocket engine plants and even uranium mines built during World War II, but that has nothing to do with them.
Alice-Wang’s family came to this city with twists and turns. After being pulled out of Boeing’s cargo hold, the heavy helicopter that came with them immediately carried them to the sky. At the foot of the vast forest and mountains, the small city stands alone on the plateau. It is rare that there are abundant water systems around it. It is just that countless complicated reasons have been piled together to prevent the small city from embarking on the path of expansion for many years.
The arrival of the family naturally received a warm welcome from the mayor, as well as the hospitality of a few entrepreneurs. As shown by the collected data, ninety-nine percent of these entrepreneurs are large-scale mine owners. It is remarkable that some municipal officials have introduced representatives of water plants and power plants. You don’t even need to read their financial statements carefully. At the table, Sophie gently drew a number on Alice’s thigh, that is, the highest amount of money to acquire this entire town.
“Our group has already had a lot of experience in the operation of power and water conservancy companies.” Alice smiled: “The Hong Kong Electric Company, which is responsible for the operation of the entire Hong Kong electric power company, personally owns a very high stake. Of course, the water conservancy company is not a problem Down. As long as I take over, I can definitely use the fastest speed to expand the infrastructure construction of Laken City by more than five times. In one project period, this gentleman, I can give the power plant the power to provide electricity for 100,000 residents. Ability, not the current three thousand.”
When talking about business with a local rich man, the most important thing to avoid is to completely take away his property. The reason why many of these people hold on to one acre and three quarters of land, no matter how much money they make, they do not want to go into big cities, because of their rural concepts. Therefore, at this time, they are often not impressed by a huge purchase fee. What they want to see is whether outsiders do real things for locals.
“So Miss Wang hopes that we can quickly develop into a big city in Laken.” The mayor said to the flour without hesitation: “But the increase in the number of people is closely related to the economy and employment. We are currently in Laken City. The main industry is mining. Wouldn’t you want to create tens of thousands of mining workers in an instant? That would attract protests from the environmental protection department, haha.”
“For mining, of course, we have to do what we can, unless we are setting up a large multinational company, ha ha, but that has nothing to do with the local population.” Alice said: “Mayor, and everyone, you all I know where my main abilities are. So my plan is to build La Quinta into an inland high-tech city with a small population, but everyone is a well-known intellectual. What do you think?”
As early as when the letter originated from the Alice Building was received, everyone in the Laken City Government could have guessed Alice’s idea, but of course it could only be part of it. The concept of an inland technology city is very clear to the people of Silicon Valley, but it is too difficult for a group of industrial and mining owners at the foot of the mountain to understand.
“The Internet is developing at an extremely fast rate. There is no doubt about this? Just like Microsoft, it is just a pure technology company that has only seven or eight buildings in Redmond and no direct factory, but its products are It can reach all over the world and has nothing to do with local transportation capabilities. This is the case for technology-based companies. They are based on the increasingly developed Internet and can easily send their products to the world regardless of local traffic conditions.”
“The location of Lacun City is very bad. You know better than me. You are all locals. Why this city has been dominated by mining for so many years? I believe I don’t need to talk too much. 80% of the residents of Utah are here. Salt Lake City, you are backed by the Akre Mountains. Although it is rare to have an area with green trees and abundant water sources, you can only develop animal husbandry and aquaculture in a small amount, and the main economy must rely on mining.”
“So, the problem lies here. There are only so many local mineral deposits, unless you do not consider the livelihood and employment of the people in the next few decades, and you insist on digging everything out at once, otherwise the local population can only be so large. Even if you several of you develop your business to a larger scale, as we said, you can only look for minerals in other places and have nothing to do with the locals.”
“So, the mayor. If we really want to develop the economy on a large scale in Laken, where the geographical location is worrying, and increase the population of the city, taking the high-tech route is almost the only way. With the Internet, customers will not care about the business’s registered address. Where is it, like my Cisco company is headquartered in San Jose, but its processing plants are all over the world, and it has something to do with San Jose’s logistics and transportation capabilities?”
The upstart in Silicon Valley from the West Coast came to invest, and she was still the famous young girl. It’s hard to describe what the local people think. Instinctively speaking, it should be full of suspicion and underestimation, but Alice is not the lucky one who just broke out of stocks yesterday. Her ability has long been proved by the world. Which round of their own guesswork?
Therefore, the banquet and talks that were cleansed up in the dust finally ended in a good atmosphere. Of course, Alice has no plans to impact the local original industry. Although there will be behaviors to buy shares, she will not directly seize the management rights of the original business owners. Her main turf is in technology.
The investment plan is simple.
First of all, since all the purposes are actually for the “hive”, power plants and water conservancy companies must be acquired in full. Fortunately, these are all in the municipal area and it is not difficult to talk about.
Because there are honeycombs underground, there must be an umbrella industry on the ground, so a hospital with a part-time scientific research function is indispensable. The hospital itself serves the residents and wins goodwill, and what an institution like a scientific research institute needs most is not convenient transportation, but a complete research environment. Alice is even considering whether to run in the Acre Mountains. Cover?
Copying the second Silicon Valley is completely unnecessary. Considering the materials that the hive will need in the future, the production of technology products and hardware is even more important. So here, what she needs is to let Draken invest in a high-tech industrial processing plant, Cisco, Intel, Nvidia, HP, IBM, or the umbrella’s self-produced electronic product subsidiary, which is produced nearby. It can be used nearby, the product source and production channels are trustworthy and easy to control, and it also helps the economic development of the local town.
Therefore, it is also an Internet-based company that has promised to the mayor and others in order to win the trust of the people, but also needs to be established~www.mtlnovel.com~ In fact, this is really simple and reasonable. Although Silicon Valley is a sacred place in the IT industry , But this type of enterprise is really everywhere in the United States. After all, everything can be operated on the Internet. As long as Alice’s related companies settle down, are you afraid that no programmers will come to apply for jobs or invest in business by themselves?
“Mom, get ready, let’s invest in Kingston.”
Alice said to Sophie like this: “It just so happens that the two founders are both Chinese and they must be easy to talk. It is now the time to continue to expand its product line, so it also needs more processing plants, all of which are indispensable for computers. Hardware, how can we stop them from coming to Laken to join in the fun.”
“With the added output value of computer hardware… Indeed, even if it is transported by air, it is worth it. Besides, when the economy develops, it is possible to build an intercontinental highway directly to Salt Lake City. As expected, my daughter, she has a good mind.”
“Of course~”
