Chapter 1758 Tunnels and Computers

The Xiangjiang government has also made frequent moves recently.

Just a few days after Yin Jun came back, the governor announced another plan.

Because the burden on Hongjian Passing Tunnel in Xiangjiang is too heavy and there are more and more vehicles in Xiangjiang, the Xiangjiang government agreed to the plan to build a second undersea tunnel proposed by Qilin Group.

Qilin Group's plan was proposed at the beginning of the year, but this matter was actually a quarrel.

The repair of the undersea tunnel is definitely a repair, but the scale is exactly what it is, which plan is set by the Kirin Group, and whether to repair it is required by the government.

Fortunately, there is no change in this matter.

Now, except for Kirin Group, which has such a large amount of funds, no group can afford the construction of such a new undersea tunnel.

Jardine Mahjong is busy transferring its registered address, and is really powerless about this project with an estimated cost of more than HK$5 billion.

After the announcement was made, people found that the budget cost given by Kirin Group was higher.

The 4-kilometer East District Undersea Tunnel project costs a total of HK$7 billion. The estimated construction time is 2 years, and the passing vehicles are loaded by 160,000 vehicles per day.

The plan for the undersea tunnel in the East District is to choose a slightly longer, but more convenient "Niutaoko-Queen Farm" plan.

In just 4 kilometers, it costs HK$7 billion, and this tunnel is like gold.

For the sake of this undersea tunnel project in the East District, after the government agreed, Qilin Group specially recruited more than a dozen top construction engineers from mainland China to set up more specific construction plans.

Such a long-distance tunnel construction must be built using caissons. However, considering that this section of water and the situation of the first undersea tunnel are not understood, it still needs to be considered carefully.

Those pipelines that require caissons need to be specially customized in the mainland and then transported to Xiangjiang, and then welded together after caissons.

When this group of mainland bridge and tunnel experts arrived in Xiangjiang in a dusty manner, Yin Jun specially invited them to have a meal.

But they were not interested in delicacies and started asking about the specific construction conditions and links at the table. It seemed that they wanted to enter the working state immediately.

"When we came, Mr. Yun told us that this was an extremely difficult but extremely glorious task. We will do our best to complete it! As for everything else, it doesn't matter. As long as we give us the best working environment and support, it is enough."

The old man with white hair in the head said something that made Yin Jun feel deeply moved.

He remembered the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Australia Bridge that was opened in 2018, but it was also completed under such conditions.

Without these pure efforts and struggles of the elderly, there would definitely be no miracle.

Facing them, Yin Jun said that everything else was redundant.

He could only instruct the project leaders to create the best conditions for these experts, whether at work or in life.

Many people who were seeking Britain expressed strong doubts about Yin Jun's promising and relying on the mainland to build undersea tunnels.

They shouted in the newspaper that the mainland was behind in everything and had no advanced concept of undersea tunnel construction, and they were all made of local buns.

Letting this group of mainlanders design and supervise will not only make HK$7 billion worth of waste, but more importantly, there may be safety hazards.

Yin Jun disdained this.

In the 1950s, a large number of water conservancy facilities were built in the mainland, and these water conservancy facilities were still playing an important role in 2020.

Among the experts who have come here, many of them have presided over the construction of water conservancy facilities twenty or thirty years ago.

Among them, there are many experts in tunnels, aerodynamics and physics who have studied in Europe and the United States.

Yin Jun even knew that several people were covered with national flags after their deaths.

Such a super big guy, it is not easy to build your 4-kilometer undersea tunnel, but it is definitely more than enough.

In Yin Jun's case, this is also a time to show the mainland's superb technology capabilities to the people of Xiangjiang, so that they know that many aspects of the mainland are much more advanced than Xiangjiang.

The mainland is now only economically poor, but in terms of science and technology, it has never stopped its development efforts.

In the past twenty or thirty years, even if I tighten my belt, I have not lost research funds in this regard.

Mr. Yun and Mr. Xiao also know this truth.

As long as these engineers and experts make beautiful achievements, there will be great bonuses in the hearts of the people of Xiangjiang, which will make them more confident in the mainland.

At the same time, this is also a good opportunity to integrate into the economy and society of Xiangjiang.

Through this successful cooperation, if there are similar opportunities in the future, wouldn’t we be able to do a few more big deals?

A total of billions of businesses are rare in the mainland today!

...

There is no summer vacation for those who work, but the students have it.

Although it is the end of September and the new semester has started, the sales of Kirin Computers around the world still catch a wave of tails and continue to sell large batches of computers strongly.

A marketing genius once said that the best thing in the world is to sell it to women and children.

And the child must be divided into children or students.

Children’s natural toys and clothes are more important, but students’ words will naturally make everything that makes them successful.

Countless parents, even if they eat pickled vegetables and steamed buns themselves, still sign up for the high-priced tutoring classes for their students at home without blinking.

For all kinds of things you can learn, you can buy them if you can. If you can’t, you usually have to buy them if you borrow money.

Of course, there is also a prerequisite for this, that is, parents can earn a good salary, and the minimum is above the food and clothing line.

If it were the current mainland parents, it would be good if there were one out of 100 that could provide these conditions.

Everyone has just had a full meal, so how can I have so much free time to think about these things?

But the parents in Xiangjiang are different.

The money they earn has already met their living needs, so they are willing to invest in their children's education.

The hottest product in Xiangjiang this summer is undoubtedly Kirin Computer.

This latest smart computer launched by Kirin Group is much better than the previous typewriter computers.

With Microsoft's windowing system, computers have become a new type of tool that can learn a lot of different knowledge and open a new door for students.

Computers have already become popular in the United States and have been delayed by the arrival of Xiangjiang for several years.

The main reason is actually because the price is too expensive.

The amount required in Xiangjiang is small, and importers cannot dilute the cost and also maintain the store, so it is about 30%-50% more expensive than in the United States, and even higher.

Such a threshold makes it very few private individuals who buy computers in Xiangjiang, and most of them are used by public offices and large companies and consortiums.

Even if Microsoft systems emerge and the functions that computers have developed leaps and bounds, not many ordinary residents in Xiangjiang have purchased.

But Kirin computers are produced in Xiangjiang, and Yin Jun has always taken care of his own people. When the price is 20% cheaper than the United States, of course, the people in Xiangjiang are willing to let their children get more contact with computers!

Don’t doubt that in this era, computer games have basically not appeared, and everyone buys computers for learning.

Computers in Xiangjiang are cheap, and so are Baodao.

After all, they are all a family, and the computers from Kirin dumped to Baodao are sold at HK$20,000 each.

The population of Baodao area is five times that of Xiangjiang, but its economic development level is almost the same.

When the authorities did not dare to interfere with the sales of the American computer company, Yin Jun still adopted the dealer system and gave the Kirin computer package to a Baodao Electronics Company for sale. This also gave Baodao some face so that he would not be slapped in the face anytime and anywhere.

I gave my own discounts, such as Japan, China, South Korea, and Singapore, and the prices were the same as those in the United States.

On the one hand, it is also because their taxes are very high. The profits that can be made by one of the units for $2,999 are sometimes not as good as those made in Baodao and Xiangjiang.

However, in order to promote the popularity of computers as soon as possible and allow more people to use computers, thus pushing forward the progress of various hardware and software of computers, Yin Jun did not care about this little profit.

You know, even if Yin Jun doesn’t make a penny on the Kirin computer, he can make a lot of money in subsequent repairs and parts replacements.

Then there is Microsoft's window system, which Yin Jun occupies 50% of the shares. How much can he earn for every time he sells a window system?

During the summer vacation, the two months are just the time when the children are on vacation at home and there is a lot of time.

Parents think that instead of letting them play crazy, it is better to buy them a computer to learn. So overall, sales have increased significantly compared to previous months just by relying on the purchase volume of students.

Adding together in August and September, with Baodao and Xiangjiang Aomen Asia, the total sales volume exceeded 100,000 units in one go.

The total sales volume of more than 20 countries in Europe also exceeded 160,000 units.

North and South America combined have another 200,000 units.

Such a great sales situation has made the Los Angeles factory not sure how many times it will increase production expectations this year.

Under Yin Jun's instructions, Xiangjiang even increased its production capacity significantly.

So far, the annual production capacity has reached 1.5 million units.

The Kirin Computer Factory with 20,000 employees originally had a huge waste of labor resources, but now it has a 70% employee utilization rate, which surprised Yin Jun a little.

It seems that by the year after year, the factory will have to expand its recruitment of workers again!
