In early November, Bai Yu inspected Takin Port accompanied by Lu Xiaochen, director of the Municipal Port Authority.

After the "two brands and one team of people" plan was officially implemented, the Municipal Port Bureau had a grasp of the management and supervision of the port; similarly, Bai Yu could legitimately inspect the institutions under the municipal government.

Tu Zhengxiong naturally had another itinerary but did not arrive. He was absent, and no one of the leaders of the management committee building dared to show up. However, Xia Weiguo, who was in the capital of Takinkou Port, didn't care. After receiving the notice, he quickly withdrew from the dock, and did not even change his dirty work clothes with several holes.

After meeting, Bai Yu glanced sharply at him and took the initiative to reach out to hold it. Xia Weiguo quickly rolled up his sleeves and rubbed his body:

"Sorry, Secretary Bai, just as he and the technicians debugged the equipment, my hand was covered in oil, so I found a piece of soap to wash..."

Bai Yu pulled his hand and looked at it: "It's just November, how can you spend winter? Leaders take the lead in going to the grassroots to participate in operations and must abide by the norms and pay attention to wearing gloves throughout the process! If you don't wear it, other technicians won't wear it. Don't underestimate this detail. It has nothing to do with hygiene, mainly to prevent scratches, electric shock and other safety needs."

The leader spoke professionally, and Xia Weiguo nodded in conscience:

"Secretary Bai criticized correctly. I am a careless person. Sometimes I have to look at this and forget the other one. I will definitely pay attention in the future and pay attention."

"I heard that Wei Guo is doing his best to build a smart port. What stage is it now?

Bai Yu said, "My understanding that smart ports are equal to Internet cloud computing, using RFID, QR code, artificial intelligence and other Internet of Things, mobile Internet technology to realize the functions of collecting and distribution port vehicle app reservation, automatic gate verification, intelligent vehicle weighting, information sharing and other functions. Right?"

Xia Weiguodao: "Secretary Bai must have studied theories of smart ports. Indeed, a modern fully automatic unmanned dock cannot be separated from high-tech support in various fields and is also a revolution in cutting-edge electronic digital. In view of the current situation of insufficient funding, currently, the Tailkou Port is mainly committed to the port terminal service intelligent system. First, it is to provide scientific decision-making, that is, to intuitively conduct intelligent statistical analysis of passengers, trolleys, trucks, and buses clearing through visualization technology, combine information such as distribution heat maps, open lanes, customs clearance estimate time and other information to assist the border inspection department in achieving effective scheduling, speed up customs clearance speed and improve service satisfaction; second, it is to build a collaborative work platform to achieve 'flat management' with 'task promotion', provide solutions for different departments of the port terminal to declare faults, manage work handover, record project matters, realize paperless management of assets, improve office efficiency, and build a scientific management model to make the connection and cooperation between departments closer."

"What effect can the system achieve after it is fully launched?" Bai Yu asked.

Xia Weiguo had long heard that the municipal party secretary liked to listen to data and hated to talk loudly. He said concisely: "The traffic efficiency of the terminal gates has been increased by 5 times, the vehicle's time is reduced by 20%-25%, and the cargo retention rate has been reduced by more than one-third."

Bai Yu asked again: "How long will it take to be built? Will it be tested next year?"

"Oh, the construction of smart ports is too expensive, and the practical use is not visible to the naked eye. The Management Committee is also very... very..."

Xia Weiguo avoided Tu Zhengxiong's name, touched his head and sighed, "The current situation is that if you have money in the account, you will rush forward for a while. If you don't have money, you can only stare at me - technology outsourcing, equipment and facilities purchase, server rental, cloud computing, etc. all require continuous investment. It's been five or six years since then, the progress is barely half. The investment is getting bigger, and I...ah!"

Bai Yu did not say anything, and under the guidance of Xia Weiguo, he visited the computer room under construction of the smart port center - it was piled up everywhere, hanging, interlaced with various lines, and most of the static floor was lifted off. Visitors must be careful step by step like stepping on a mine array.

Most computers in the computer room have equipment that are cut open, and the technicians are basically unkempt and unkempt. When they see the city leaders coming in, they don’t know how to get up to greet them, and they are focused on the screen.

After walking around and standing on the second floor platform, looking down at the busy technicians below, Bai Yu suddenly burst into laughter.

"Secretary Bai...the center construction is indeed not...inadequate, many, many hardware facilities and equipment cannot keep up due to insufficient funds..."

Xia Weiguo knew that Bai Yu was very dissatisfied and explained guiltily.

Bai Yu said: "I didn't say hardware, I mean software! Wei Guo, don't be angry if you say harshly - the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked! Look at yourself, this work clothes have not been washed for two months, right? The nails are so long, and there is no time to trim? The mobile phone screen breaks into a spider web, how long can it take to put a film? I know you are a technical background and pursuing pragmatism, but the mental outlook of a unit and a department is very important. The leaders are full of energy and the employees are full of vitality, which can naturally drive the entire team and even the collective upward momentum! Seoul, I will send fifty sets of radiation-proof work clothes back, and next time I go to the central computer room, I don't want to see any clothes other than work clothes!"

"Start with me!" Xia Weiguo said unambiguously.

"The computer, floor, and line installation are all repaired. Wherever the work needs, I think it's just laziness! There are also instant noodles, ham sausages, and beef jerky on the workbench, all swept into the garbage can!" Bai Yu said, "A clean and beautiful environment plays a crucial role in improving work efficiency and has a subtle influence on employees. Weiguo, technology is not a paradise, but also needs to be integrated into society."

Xia Weiguo has never been criticized in public for decades when he worked in the port, but Bai Yu was pertinent and had to blush with his face:

"Secretary Bai is right. I just pursue technology and ignore the requirements for details. In the future, I must follow Secretary Bai's instructions to strictly manage and regulate them comprehensively, and set an example from me as a good example."

Seeing that his attitude was pretty good, Bai Yu then said:

"As for the issue of investment in the later stage of smart port construction, it is estimated that the Management Committee will continue to add more money. Even if there is, it will not be useful. Because the current pressure to improve infrastructure in the Milong Port is very high, and I can't spare the energy to do relatively negligent things, right?"

Xia Weiguo sighed sadly: "I am like a blacksmith in the countryside. I found iron blocks, knocked and repaired them; I couldn't find a hoe to carry it to the ground and farm. What's the solution? I can't rob the bank."

"I'm going to criticize you again! There is a way, the key is that you always use your head!"

Bai Yu pointed at the brain, "In my opinion, in addition to the Management Committee increasing its investment, there are at least two ways out. One is to use its own resources to attract investors; the other is to seek partners to build a bonsai project."

Xia Weiguo was stunned and blinked for a while and said, "Secretary Bai, I...I don't understand what you mean..."

If you don't understand, ask, a very straightforward personality.

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Own resources refer to the right to use container terminals, bulk cargo and shipment and general berths; the right to load and unload, transportation contracting rights; the right to freight forwarding rights; the right to ship agency; the right to designated financial settlement rights, etc., which can all be used as subjects for foreign capital investment. People are interested in the forward rights income of the port. If you get short-term financing, why not get their own things?"

Xia Weiguo pondered for a moment and shook his head: "It's difficult to operate, and there's almost no possibility of implementation," he glanced at no one around him and said softly, "Talkou Port has only the Port and Scope Office to conclude some of the regular management functions. Any matters involving money, power, people, etc. are in the hands of the Management Committee. How can you bear to let Du come out and burn money for me?"

"There is another idea," Bai Yu said, "As far as I know, all coastal ports have been engaged in intelligence, automation, local, regional, and line breakthroughs over the past few decades are often used as promotional introductions for successful experiences. However, since the design, Takino Port has been based on overall development, truly achieving panoramic coverage and seamless docking, and I am afraid that there will be no second one."

"The investment is large, the effect is slow, and the risk is high. Which idiot is willing to spend time in this regard?" Xia Weiguo said self-deprecatingly, "I am the only one who is a fool. I have been shattered at the beginning of my term. I have been applying for funds from the Management Committee for six years! In six years, there have been two cadres who have moved quickly in the position of change. I am still stupid and staying in Takinkou Port to do intelligence..."

Bai Yu said: "You must be a little stupid when doing big things. People who are too smart often have too many ideas and have no perseverance. Weiguo, my idea is to target the advantages of being at the forefront of the integrated intelligent construction of Takino Port, actively contact technology giants to invest in venture capital, and use Takino Port as a model to create high-quality products at all costs. If any port is interested in it, a large order will be enough to recover all costs!"

Xia Weiguo asked in confusion: "Investing billions of dollars free of charge to create high-quality products, is there such a courageous technology giant in the mainland?"

"It is recommended that Weiguo bring a few people to Linzhou to see where high-tech enterprises gather, and any one of them will cost tens of billions. By the way, you can directly find Yu Yu, the secretary of the municipal party committee, and just say I'll introduce it," Bai Yu smiled, "With him coming forward, I think the technology giants will rush to come and burn money."

"Yu Yu..."

Xia Weiguo was secretly shocked and thought to himself that the city party secretary helped attract investment. The technology giants on Linzhou territory would rather lose money than pay!

Then he smiled and said, "Secretary Bai will help me pave the road and will definitely rush it quickly. I will go to Linzhou the next day or the day after tomorrow, and then bring Director Tu Jinjin with him. He has a lot of experience in port intelligent technology..."

Bai Yu's eyes narrowed and he looked at the other person.

Xia Weiguo Dun knew the reason why the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee was alert, so he took a few steps to get a distance from the accompanying staff and whispered:

"Jin Jin is the son of Secretary Tu. He is currently the director of the International Shipping Center of the Mulonggang. He reported to Secretary Bai that he majored in computer science at university. He was originally planning to start his own business in Bihai and Chaoming. He could not resist Secretary Tu and came back to the Management Committee. He should go step by step in the future... But he is really not interested in port business. He ran to Liangkou Port when he has time to discuss intelligent construction with me. To be honest, for six years, whether it is applied for funds or software research, it is different after all, with him helping him. Otherwise, how could he be willing to spend so much money with Secretary Tu's understanding of intelligent construction?"

"oh--"

Bai Yu nodded thoughtfully, and the topic ended here.
Chapter completed!
