In order to live in seclusion, I tricked my roommate into falling in love.

Chapter 530: Elbow, Go to the Back Row

But Zi Xiaowei is not a pure scientific researcher.

He couldn't help but shake his head slightly and pointed at the surrounding technology park.

The business park next door has the most sense of design, with a bunch of large and small buildings of different heights.

There are four or five buildings of tens of thousands of square meters, more than a dozen single-family villas of more than a thousand square meters, and several low-rise buildings of several thousand square meters, with a combination of high, medium and low-end.

By building some small lakes, woods and green landscapes in the middle, it can accommodate various businesses to settle in.

It’s just that the economic trend in recent years has simply been moving closer to the law of increasing entropy, which is also the cyclical law of the era of peaceful construction.

All walks of life are controlled by the advantages accumulated through generations of hard work.

It is difficult for people at the bottom to make a breakthrough, and there are not many opportunities for self-reliance to innovate and start a business.

The sudden outbreak of the epidemic has further aggravated the vacancy.

The Internet celebrity park is crowded in the center, spacious around, and has some small landscape ideas. In the future, the surrounding greenery will also have some streams and waterscapes.

But it is still very different from the real mountain and lake model.

So if you really want to come up with something new, you have to go to this earliest science and technology park.

It was designed and built according to administrative planning at that time, and is now ridiculed by students, workers, internet celebrities and self-media as an "imperial layout".

The entire park is dominated by the majestic Internet Building, which is at the highest point at the back, with two rows of side buildings for "civil officials and military generals" descending in sequence on the left and right.

The stepped park in the middle is in the shape of a gate. Standing at the bottom of the road, you really have the feeling of looking up at the temple as if you are paying homage.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with technology.

Zi Xiaowei is already a qualified landscape garden planner. Others will take care of the details, and he just looks at the big picture and feels the general direction:
"If we're too ambitious, shouldn't we create a large lake in the middle, perhaps even connecting it to the other two parks? This would transform it into a majestic whole, rivaling any development zone in China. A northern suburbs e-commerce or auto sales park could even become a national legend... Can we resist such a grand and dramatic project?"

Yes, the land opposite the science and technology park used to be overgrown with weeds and there were few people around.

It is bustling and noisy now. Standing on this high place, you will feel like you are at the top of the world, overlooking all the other mountains.

Especially when this change is brought about by oneself.

The vast majority of people live ordinary lives without leaving any traces in this world.

Now, tens of thousands of people who have made great achievements have gathered here.

It took a whole year for something to be created out of nothing.

It feels a bit like carving words on a monument.

A counterattack that many people dream of.

A victory that brings both fame and fortune.

But Zi Xiaowei resisted the temptation as soon as he opened his mouth.

A retired boss like Mr. Zhou certainly knew the mentality and intention of this sentence, but he didn't expect Zi Xiaowei to be so old.

The old man's eyes no longer looked at the stage, but looked deeply at the young man, then laughed at himself: "I didn't expect that I have retired and still haven't seen through this desire for fame and fortune in my life. I am still obsessed with the success or failure of the work-study network, while you have already let go of the past and moved forward lightly."

Zi Xiaowei wasn't too proud: "What else can I do if I don't let go? As policies and current situations change, I have to adapt. Perhaps it's a good thing that I'm still young and experiencing this kind of change."

"Actually, what I want to talk about is, do you know Flinders? It's an industrial powerhouse in the Great Lakes region of the United States, between Chicago and Detroit. It's the birthplace of General Motors and its headquarters before the end of World War II. Because of its comprehensive civilian vehicle production, it was transformed into the largest armored vehicle production base during World War II. It was a true automobile city of that era, and extremely wealthy."

The senior member of the Department of Agriculture was still well-informed and had a strong memory: "It seems... there was a public incident of soil or water poisoning?"

Zi Xiaowei hummed, "Long-term industrial production has caused heavy metal deposits and leaks, leading to lead poisoning throughout the water supply system. This is a major public health crisis in modern cities. Huge sums were once spent on various facade projects and art center development, but basic public infrastructure was compromised by various cost-cutting measures. When the economic boom receded, even the most beautiful cities lost their productivity and are now so dilapidated that they often don't even have the millions of dollars in municipal spending to cover it."

Mr. Zhou listened attentively: "Is it as if he is reminding us not to go down this old path?"

Zi Xiaowei nodded. "Local governments in China have some money now, and they're interested in improving their urban appearance. Our Mountain Lake model project actually continues this demand, but all sorts of newly built empty and ghost towns abound. If it weren't for the influx of the internet celebrity economy and the automotive industry, this new city would still have a very high vacancy rate. The fundamental problem lies in whether or not we develop productivity. Otherwise, no matter how well we build this place and how lively it gets, it will only enrich the small landlords in this area."

During the Spring Festival, I have dealt with such local interest groups, and in the past six months, I have been able to cooperate with them in various ways like a fish in water.

But this doesn't mean Zi Xiaowei has included himself in the group. Just like he, Dai Anni, and Chang Yueling squeezed in and out to have children, he still didn't consider himself a capitalist.

Mr. Zhou was completely shocked. He even knew the real purpose of Zi Xiaowei's public bonus distribution. At that time, he felt that the young man's vision and pattern were already extremely high.

Only now was I even more surprised. It turned out that his practical considerations were so profound: "Are you already considering solutions to social problems?"

Zi Xiaowei smiled and replied, "Didn't you recommend me to the School of Public Administration for graduate studies? I plan to use this topic as the core of my graduate thesis, focusing on how to leverage productivity to drive urbanization in the new era. I hope to apply what I've learned about the Mountain-Lake Model to real-world cases."

After so many years in charge of universities, the old leader may never have seen such an arrogant graduate student!
Is the research topic about the relationship between productivity and urbanization? Then I will promote the construction of urbanization.

Just ask yourself, which university in China, or even internationally, has achieved this level of research?

Less than a year ago, I was sitting on a mountain ridge, watching the clouds rising and falling in the mountain blocks opposite, and I said that urbanization had left the real estate market in a mess across the country, and the mountain-lake model seemed to be a solution to this situation.

At that time, a group of old professors discussed it with great interest, but they also said that it was just academic deduction and that it was impossible to have such a large amount of funds to try to bring about change.

The old people said they would return to the daily necessities of retirement life.

Young people have gradually started from the garden renovation of a factory area, to the landscape reconstruction of the campus, and then to the planning and construction of a new college. Finally, they have jointly promoted a new workers' city with giant state-owned enterprises such as Jiangan Automobile, and truly want to make it a large-scale mountain and lake model urban area!

It turns out that this young man sitting on the ridge, who became an internet celebrity and a host, eventually became such a big shot?
Anyway, Mr. Zhou didn't care about the award ceremony at all. He asked Zi Xiaowei to send all the planning renderings of the workers' new city, the landscape photos of the underwear park, the renovation photos of the campus wetland park, and the construction renderings of the Automobile College to his mobile phone.

Then he left in a hurry.

Leaving Zi Xiaowei laughing behind his back.

Dai Anni was standing on the other side, surrounded by a bunch of beautiful internet celebrities. She kept glancing at the child's father, and only did not disturb him when she saw him standing with his old leader.

Seeing his sneaky expression, he shook off the contracted influencers and came over, hitting him with the folder in his hand: "If you want to laugh, then laugh it off. Are you trying to pick up girls by being so charming and attractive?"

The power is very small, and the combo is to hold on.

It mainly expresses an intimate relationship, so that the beauties over there can see clearly and not provoke the boss.

Zi Xiaowei collected the folder and left: "Hey, hey, it's easy for me to use the park, the city, and even the live-streaming industry as a banner to gain recognition."

Dai Anni couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and kiss: "What tiger skin, what big flag?"

Zi Xiaowei quickly looked around stealthily and found that all the beauties over there were turning their heads away quickly.

I don't know if she's afraid of being discovered by the boss and fired, or if she's afraid of being noticed by the boss's husband and being abused.

But those who could stand in the corners of the stage were all our own people. The security guards blocked them quietly, and Ding Minggui and Xiaolian even kept a distance from them on the left and right to provide protection.

A completely black Totoro is lying inconspicuously behind you. Get in the car and wait for those people.

It is indeed a very comfortable temporary resting place.

Zi Xiaowei casually turned on the ultra-wide-screen TV and projected a picture from his phone onto it. "Nothing good is sold through livestreaming. At least I've never bought anything from a livestream host. It's essentially the same tactic used in TV shopping 20 years ago, relying on false propaganda, exaggeration, and tricking netizens into impulsive orders. If every host were to be shot down, there would surely be some who were wrongly accused, but if every one is shot down, there will be many who slip through the cracks. This industry is rotten to the core!"

Dai Anni shook her head: "We don't sell fake goods, right? From underwear to cars, they are all good quality and cheap..."

When she said the last four words, Zi Xiaowei stared at her with a half-smile. The capitalist still hesitated: "The quality is fine, but the price... if we cut the marketing and promotion costs according to the brand, our profits will certainly be much greater."

Zi Xiaowei nodded. "That's our secret. Our prices are only slightly cheaper than regular brands, sometimes even more expensive. We rely on the sales tactics of our anchor Xiong to sell our products. As a result, our profits are extremely high, and our sales are enormous. It's impossible not to be rich. But how many internet celebrities who have tasted this fat piece of meat can resist the pursuit of maximum profit?"

In fact, the family often discusses these details and hidden key points. Dai Anni is very serious: "That's why our structure is difficult to copy. We first established an underwear brand, and then became an influencer, a live broadcaster, and even sold cars. The price and quality of all our products are well-known in the market. We are fundamentally different from those live broadcasters who specialize in selling niche, low-priced, and junk products to make money."

Zi Xiaowei applauded the mother of a child who hadn't lost her mind even during pregnancy. "Even if we regulate the entire Jingxi live streaming platform, it won't stop the majority of online celebrities from ruining the industry. They're killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, just to make a quick buck. So, on the one hand, we need to push for standardized qualifications for online celebrities and self-media in journalism schools, and on the other hand, we need to invest money in promoting the development of productivity in society. The bigger we wave this banner, the further we distance ourselves from these sluts."

At the beginning, Dai Anni knew to use the employment of thousands of workers as bargaining chips for her own company. Now Zi Xiaowei has obviously made it more high-end and academic.

It is to protect such a large industry.

Dai Anni listened briefly to a few words and then agreed with him: "You always have your own ideas when doing things like this..."

His eyes were focused on the scene of money being distributed and moved in the distance. After confirming that it would take a while, he signaled with his eyes: "Elbow, go to the back row and have some fun..."

It's broad daylight!
