A few days later, led by leader Wen, Cao Weidong formally met with the leadership team of Tongquan City.
The two parties sat together to discuss matters related to building a smart city.
In fact, there is no need for Leader Wen to take the lead; everyone is already acquaintances.
After all, Zhenhua Energy Plant is located in Tongquan City and pays huge taxes and fees every year. It is almost one of the pillar industries of Tongquan.
However, there is still a process that should be in place.
At this seminar on smart cities, Director Zhang nodded frequently while listening to Cao Weidong talk about his ideas. In the end, he held Cao Weidong's hand tightly and said with emotion.
"Comrade Cao, we hope to work with you to build Tongquan and build it into the first smart city in China and a beautiful and livable city."
He understood the above meaning and therefore unconditionally agreed to all requests made by Cao Weidong.
Cao Weidong also responded quite firmly.
"Don't worry, we can definitely do it!"
Seeing that everyone was talking about it, the photographer was standing nearby.
"Dear leaders, please stand inside, and then everyone will look at the camera together, and we will take a photo."
Under the arrangement of the photographer, Leader Zhang stood in the middle, Cao Weidong stood on his left, and the others lined up in order, and then took a group photo under the banner hanging "Build a Beautiful Tongquan, Create a Smart City".
In the future, this photo will be preserved forever as a witness to the development of Tongquan City.
........
Soon, major newspapers and periodicals published articles with similar content.
The title is - [Xinghuo Electronics Factory has officially settled in Tongquan City, working together to build a first-class modern smart city!]
In this article, the author uses a large space to introduce the concept of smart cities, as well as the convenience it can bring to citizens, etc., and explains that the smart city project has been implemented and the first smart city will be born in Tongquan.
This article immediately aroused widespread heated discussion among the people after it was published in the newspaper.
What?
The smart city that I always thought was a science fiction concept is about to become a reality?
This gave everyone a trancelike feeling that a myth had come true.
It's as if Sun Wukong was really pressed under the Wuzhi Mountain, and then he really ran into the Peach Garden, where he captured seven graceful little fairies with bulging fronts and backs, and finally only stole a few peaches...
It's outrageous but also contains an indescribable truth.
All in all, everyone was talking like crazy.
The happiest people here are the citizens of Tongquan.
Almost every house is decorated with lanterns and colors, just like celebrating the New Year.
Citizens in other cities were unhappy.
Everyone called and asked why they were not the first to receive the smart city quota.
Faced with such inquiries, many cadres were helpless.
They also want to become a smart city.
But it's not something they can decide.
Therefore, these cadres could only comfort them while looking at their former poor brothers with envy and jealousy, secretly drooling.
........
After finalizing all the cooperation details with Tongquan's leading cadres, Cao Weidong immediately got into work.
He inspected Tongquan City and finally selected an area.
It's not too far from the city center.
He plans to build a data station at this location.
All data about the city is stored, aggregated, analyzed, and interacted with here.
In short, this is the data interaction center of the smart city, which is also the "brain" of the city.
Next to the data station, he also plans to build a cutting-edge technology research and development base.
The main task of the cutting-edge technology R&D base is to develop various adaptive products and technologies based on smart cities.
Because it only serves a single individual in Tongquan City, the scale of this research base will not be too large, but it must strive for excellence, including the use of equipment, researchers, etc.
As for the new products and technologies accidentally discovered during the research and development process, Cao Weidong plans to directly authorize them to other domestic technology companies and semiconductor companies to allow them to conduct universal research.
This can be regarded as leading everyone to develop together.
After having a general direction, Cao Weidong immediately drafted a technical document and submitted it.
After reading it, Director Zhang immediately approved the note and expressed his full support.
It took almost only a week for the land to be vacated, and the next step was to start construction.
During this period, Cao Weidong was not idle, but was busy selecting and allocating equipment and selecting researchers.
The days passed quietly in this peaceful and busy time.
Until this day, Cao Weidong met a visitor who surprised him.
.......
The middle-aged man in front of him was full of enthusiasm, smiled and handed Cao Weidong a business card, and then said.
"Hello, Mr. Cao, I am Ren Zhengfei from Huawei. This is my business card. It is a bit presumptuous to come to see you this time. Please forgive me."
Cao Weidong didn't want to pay attention to it at first.
Every day, many people came to ask for cooperation, and he couldn't bear to be bothered.
But after hearing that familiar name, Cao Weidong was stunned for a moment and subconsciously took the business card handed over by the middle-aged man in front of him.
"You said your name is Ren Zhengfei? Um, Ren Zhengfei from Huawei?"
He glanced at the business card.
That's right, the man in front of him is the well-known Ren Zhengfei, the founder of a great technology company who withstood the sanctions of Eagle Sauce and completed technological upgrades.
Thinking back on the development history of Huawei in my mind.
At this time, Huawei should still focus on the production of switches and telephones. Because of its reliable product quality, it gradually stood out and became a leading company in the field of China Telecom communications equipment.
Ren Zhengfei asked with some confusion.
"Mr. Cao, you seem to know me. Have we met somewhere?"
"No, I have friends who have bought your products and mentioned them to me."
Cao Weidong said casually, then looked around, pointed to a sofa next to him and said.
"Let's go over and talk. I have to attend a meeting at three o'clock, so you have...well, forty minutes." Cao Weidong looked at his watch and said to Ren Zhengfei.
Ren Zhengfei was overjoyed.
In fact, he was waiting for Cao Weidong to pass by with the mentality of giving it a try. He did not expect that things would develop so smoothly.
The sofa that Cao Weidong pointed to was placed at the entrance and exit for people to rest temporarily. It was quite old, but neither party paid attention to it.
After sitting down, Ren Zhengfei first expressed his gratitude, and then explained his purpose of coming.
"Mr. Cao, I like your smart city plan very much, so I took the liberty to ask if I can participate in this project."
"We are the leading telecommunications and communication equipment manufacturer in China, and we will definitely be very helpful in the communication architecture of smart cities."
During this period, Ren Zhengfei had been troubled that Huawei did not have its own core technology.
Therefore, while exploring and occupying foreign markets, he actively promotes the research and development of his own technology and products.
After seeing the smart city plan in the newspaper, Ren Zhengfei was immediately moved. His intuition told him that this would be an opportunity for Huawei's development, so he immediately came to seek cooperation.
After hearing Ren Zhengfei's request, Cao Weidong suddenly had an idea in his heart.
