Rebirth 2008: I Can Make Money Reading

Chapter 456: A Big Step Forward

The project team of Xinghai Group visited Ningcheng. According to the instructions of Chairman Mu Yang, the rocket launch site was selected at Dagutou Island, Xiangshan County, Ningbo City, accompanied by relevant departments of Jiangnan Province.

The leaders of Ningcheng Shi and Jiangnan Province Sheng attached great importance to the investment project of 100 billion yuan.

After a few days of preliminary investigation, there is no problem.

However, there are many problems in the location selection of smart city projects.

If you choose to be in the south of Binjiang District, tens of thousands of original residents will be involved, which is very troublesome, and it is difficult for the H City ZF to choose. H City ZF also wants to take this opportunity to truly develop H City into a super first-tier city.

Xinghai Group's smart city plan is very attractive. On April 5, Xinghai Group and H City ZF jointly held a press conference to announce the news.

Compared with Xinghai Group's rocket launch of satellites, the smart city plan has attracted more media reports and attention from various countries, and netizens all over the Internet have discussed it.

"I'm sorry, Xinghai Group plans to invest no less than two trillion yuan. This is too exaggerated. Can they come up with so much money?"

"If the smart city is really successful, City H can really become an international metropolis, surpassing Shanghai and the imperial capital."

"It is estimated that the housing prices in City H are about to change. I heard that the transaction rate has been very high recently. Some people want to take advantage of the bottom. Although the location has not been confirmed, it is definitely not the current city center."

"I'm still very much looking forward to what the smart city will look like after it's completed. Xinghai Group has already started collecting design proposals from around the world."

...

Xinghai Group, Chairman's Office.

In Mu Yang’s spare time, he fantasized about a smart city. When he was free, he downloaded a stand-alone version of the simulated city, planning, building, expanding, and managing. There are still some things in it that can be used for reference.

Of course, games are made by people, and the game designers are not necessarily urban planning professionals. There must be many problems, and they cannot be copied. Copying the design will probably fail.

Mu Yang combined with the actual situation, urban traffic and parking are a very big problem.

Jiangnan Province is rich in people, and the per capita car ownership ranks first in the country. However, due to license restrictions and parking difficulties in the Imperial Capital and Shencheng, it is indeed not as good as Jiangnan Province.

It won't take another few years. At present, parking in the urban area of ​​H city is not convenient, especially in the old city. In a few years, it will be really difficult to find a place to park in the old community.

For many ordinary people, a car is a face, and it is impossible and inconvenient to not have a car.

There are too few public parking spaces and they occupy an area. ZF is of course unwilling to increase investment in public parking spaces in order to sell the land. Anyway, as long as the project occupies too much land and has low returns, such as football fields and tennis courts, they are not willing to invest in it. too much.

At present, Mu Yang is planning like this.

Underground subway layer: Conventional subway, as a public transportation, due to the new planning, the design is more reasonable. The subway is required to be faster, more stable, safer and less noisy. During the war preparation period, it can be used as an air-raid shelter.

Basement floor: add underground parking spaces, which can also be used as a drainage system during floods.

The first floor above ground: Conventional car traffic, designed according to traffic flow, no difference from the current one, except that there will be more lanes.

The second floor above the ground: the viaduct is reserved, the number of lanes is the same as the ground, the space is used reasonably, the entrance and exit intervals are arranged reasonably, and the interval is changed from the conventional 1 kilometer to 1.5-2 kilometers. There is no need to go to the viaduct for short distances.

The third floor above the ground: the upper part of the viaduct, the flying route of the flying car. The flight route is based on the benchmark of the viaduct installation, and the crossing does not interfere. At the same time, it also sets up flight rules for flying cars.

In order to reduce ground land occupation, in addition to building public parking lots underground on main lines, parking lots can also be built underground on branch lines and green belts;

If it is not enough to use, intelligent vertical parking garages can also be built, and intelligent parking garages are currently produced by manufacturers. However, most of the smart parking garages are built by Fangkai in order to meet the acceptance of relevant ZF departments and create some false parking spaces. Many smart parking garages cannot be used at all, and even have poor structural strength, instead occupying public resources.

In terms of transportation, Muyang has no better way to solve the problem of traffic congestion and difficult parking. It can only increase the intensity of infrastructure construction and use better materials to prevent renovation in a short time.

Mu Yang hates road renovation the most, because it kills the merchants on both sides of the road. The owners of these merchants managed to rent the pavement, but they renovate the road every year and do gross business.

He is not an expert in urban planning. The above traffic planning and parking planning are just his personal ideas. There may be better ways.

It is estimated that the smart city planning and rocket base planning will be finalized in the second half of the year.

Mu Yang threw these two projects to the project team. He asked about the progress when he was free. He has been busy with scientific research in the company, and when he returned home, he would just accompany his two children.

In three months, his two children will be one year old.

Both the son and the daughter are more than 80 centimeters tall, which is considered to be at the upper-middle level among their peers.

The child is healthy, and Mu Yang has no major worries.

But there are still many small troubles. Recently, his daughter likes to suck her thumb, which is a very bad habit. He and his wife are more worried that the daughter will not get rid of this habit when she grows up.

Song Xuelu also knew what caused her daughter's habit. After discussing with her husband, she planned to stop the baby step by step, and don't put the bottle next to the child. It is not a good thing to get used to sucking.

After a few days, Mu Yang found that her daughter sucked her fingers less frequently, and this trouble was gone.

April 15.

Mu Yang finally made and debugged the chip design software EDA, and named it "XH-EDA".

From now on, there is no need to worry about EDA being stuck by foreigners.

The software itself does not add computing power to the chip. Whether the chip is good or not depends on the design architecture and design level, as well as the manufacturing process.

Compared with peer EDA, XH-EDA is more powerful, more convenient to use, and runs more smoothly.

We all know that if you want to draw a circuit diagram on a fingernail-sized chip, the circuit diagram is densely packed, not to mention other functions of the software. If the software takes up too much memory when running, the computer will freeze, and the normal zoom-in and zoom-out functions will not work. normal use.

The EDA is successfully developed, and Mu Yang does not plan to disclose it to the outside world unless the Xinghai Group's chip is successfully developed.

He intends to license this software to domestic chip design companies, and will not open it to foreigners for the time being.

Mu Yang didn't know how those chip magnates would react after knowing Xinghai Group's chip development, and what trouble it would bring them, but it can be seen from Yamazaki Mazak.

Since Xinghai Group's five-axis linkage CNC machining center was released, Yamazaki Mazak's life has not been very good recently, and many Huaguo companies have canceled Yamazaki Mazak's orders.

The Fourth Petroleum Machinery Factory originally planned to order a five-axis CNC machining center with Yamazaki Mazak, and was about to sign the contract. In the end, because of the Xinghai Group, its chairman, Mr. Yang, finally decided to cancel the order.

Taro Miyamoto, Sales Director of Yamazaki Mazak Huaguo Branch, received the information that the order was cancelled, and personally called the customer to ask the reason. He is Huaguotong, and communication in Chinese is not a problem.

"Due to some financial problems in our company, I am very sorry. Our cooperation with Mazak may not be able to continue. I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate again next time."

"Why, didn't we talk about it well before? Mr. Yang, 8 million dollars, this price is very cheap."

Mazak sold a set of obsolete equipment to customers. If it was before, 8 million dollars is not expensive, and it may not be available.

If you don't sell it to Huaguo, but sell it to local customers or customers from other countries, you can't sell it at this price, half of it would be good.

"I know, and I'm very sorry."

"Mr. Yang, if it is a matter of price, I can apply again to the board of directors. We can still negotiate on the price. If we feel that we are behind, we have the latest generation of five-axis linkage machine tools. Of course, the price will be higher. It only needs 20 million U.S. dollars.” Miyamoto Taro attaches great importance to this order, and for 8 million U.S. dollars, he can get a lot of commission.

If it was two months ago, would you like to buy it or not.

As for the company's most advanced equipment, they do not sell it, and export to China is also prohibited.

But since Xinghai Group announced their self-developed five-axis linkage CNC machine tool, many companies in Huaguo canceled the purchase of their company's next-generation equipment. Not long after that, they lost tens of millions of dollars in orders.

The equipment announced by the Xinghai Group is more advanced than their new generation of equipment. It is useless for them to restrict the new generation of products. They sell as much as they can.

Xinghai Group is like a stirring stick, confusing the market for five-axis CNC machine tools.

Damn Xinghai Group!

"The price is too high, we can't afford it, let's talk about it after a while."

"Mr. Yang, as far as I know, your company's finances should not be a problem. If I'm not wrong, you are going to purchase Xinghai Group's equipment. I don't deny that Xinghai Group's equipment has advanced functions, but they are new manufacturers. It’s hard to say whether it will be stable or not, and if it’s not used for a few months, it will cause frequent problems. Moreover, their equipment, even if it’s a regular model, needs 200 million RMB, which is equivalent to 25 million US dollars; while our new generation equipment only needs $20 million."

"The quality of Xinghai Group's equipment should not be as bad as you said. They have a warranty. If there is a problem, you can refund us. Mr. Miyamoto, if there is a problem with your equipment, can you refund us? The three major items can Is the warranty guaranteed for two or three years? As for the price you mentioned, it is indeed very expensive, but it is easy to use, and the work efficiency of one machine is higher than that of several other machines in the same industry, and its precision is high.”

"The warranty of the three major components is two or three years, that's impossible." Taro Miyamoto didn't know the specific equipment purchase agreement, but only knew the approximate price.

"That's it, we have the opportunity to cooperate again."

Mr. Yang also didn't want to insist that he would not have opportunities to cooperate with Mazak in the future.

They did turn to Xinghai Group, but they said that Xinghai Group's equipment is really expensive. Even if they don't want to buy Xinghai Group's equipment, but want to buy Mazak's inferior equipment, it will take a while for them to lower the price.

The emergence of Xinghai Group's five-axis linkage CNC machine tools has forced these arrogant foreigners to automatically cut prices, and even the equipment that was not sold before had to let go.

In this way, Xinghai Group's equipment sells for 200 million US dollars, and Namazak's similar equipment is worth up to 8 million US dollars, and it wants to sell for 2,000 US dollars, which is really beautiful.

As for the $8 million equipment we talked about earlier, a 45% discount is about the same.

Therefore, Mr. Yang is not in a hurry at all.

Sorry, I don't have any writing status, so I am too embarrassed to post it, and I don't know how to explain it to everyone. The whole family is almost dead, his wife and mother-in-law are sore all over, and the old farmer also has some discomfort in his throat.
