Chapter 477 The Big Plan

The global media has been boiling for a while, and the heat has finally subsided.

Lin Rui began to think about another question, Weiyang Technology has raised so much money, how should it be spent?
Nearly $600 billion in cash is not a small amount.

After thinking about it, there are nothing more than the following points. One is to increase research and development efforts and spend more funds on research and development.

The second is to strengthen investment in the field of basic data, such as cloud computing and cloud services. Lin Rui plans to spend another 110 billion US dollars to deploy large-scale data centers around the world, and compete with Amazon and Microsoft for the overseas cloud computing market.

The third is to increase the scale of Weiyang Technology Investment Fund and invest in more technology companies.

In the four or five years since its establishment, Weiyang Science and Technology Investment Fund has invested in hundreds of start-up companies. Although 70% of them have failed, overall, they have already made a lot of money.

Items [-] and [-] were easy. After two meetings, they were settled easily.

Only the second item is in line with the country's grand strategy of "counting from the east to the west". We should not only focus on foreign markets, but also need to plan well in the country.

From the perspective of geographical background, energy and electricity in the east are relatively scarce, and the cost and price of use are relatively high.

The western region has more energy and electricity, which can provide very abundant energy and cheap electricity.

As a “big energy consumer”, data centers account for nearly 60% of operating expenses, and the low cost of electricity in the west will effectively alleviate their energy consumption and cost pressures.

In addition, the west has vast land and few people; the east has scarce land resources and dense people, and the two can form a good complement.

After some investigation and research, and with reference to the opinions of think tanks, Lin Rui decided to build five ultra-large data centers in China with an additional US$50 billion on the basis of more than a dozen existing medium and large data centers in China.

In 5 provinces of Guizhou, Sichuan, Chongqing, Qinghai and Mongolia, each invested 10 billion US dollars.

In addition, another 60 billion US dollars will be allocated to deploy foreign data centers and cloud computing businesses to seize the international market.

……

On this day, Lin Rui hid at home for a while, and accompanied Su Hongxiu to read books, surf the Internet, and chat about household chores.

The question about the rapid increase in housing prices in Los Angeles unexpectedly became a hot search again.

As a non-provincial capital city, the house price not only surpasses the provincial capital Shangzhou directly, but even catches up with Rongcheng, Xi'an, and Jiangcheng.

With the current trend, it is no surprise that the future can catch up.

This made many people complain, including some young people who work and live in Los Angeles.

Although under the influence of Lin Rui in recent years, Los Angeles has developed well, and the economy has risen rapidly, which has also ushered in a big jump in the wage level of the entire city.

However, except for the direct employees of the company under Lin Rui's name, it is basically impossible for the increase in wages to keep up with the increase in housing prices.

It used to be a very easy-to-live city with low housing prices, prices, and consumption. It was very friendly to young people, but now it is suddenly not so friendly.

This has a great impact on the competitiveness of the entire city and its attraction to talents.

Although the housing prices are high, the Los Angeles city government sells land very well, and can invest a lot of money in infrastructure construction.

However, it is also clear that excessive housing price growth is harmful to a city and will overdraw a city's development potential.

A stable and sustainable housing price is the most beneficial to a city.

However, they are still a bit unable to stop the car now. Who made the built-up area of ​​Los Angeles so large, and all companies, including Lin Rui's companies, are within this range.

The limited land resources in Jiancheng District, coupled with the influx of a large number of people, has a strong demand for housing, which is the biggest driving force for rising housing prices.

Facing the rapid development of the city, the Los Angeles city government did not have a plan. More than a year ago, the two counties under its jurisdiction were dismantled and turned into districts.

The area of ​​the Luocheng District directly exceeds 3000 square kilometers.

However, the time is too short. The new area is still undergoing infrastructure construction and planning. There are not many enterprises and people. It will take many years to develop.

……

The housing prices in Los Angeles grew too fast and the development was deformed, which also affected the enterprises under Lin Rui's name, so he had to intervene to solve it.

The city was also overjoyed to hear that Lin Rui was willing to help.

As a person who directly promotes the rapid economic development of Los Angeles by himself, Lin Rui's influence on Los Angeles is unquestionable. In many cases, the Los Angeles government has to cooperate with Lin Rui's enterprises to make plans.

In fact, the city has already discussed with Lin Rui about the housing price problem, but no fundamental solution has been found.

The best way is to shift part of the economic center of gravity and develop new districts with thousands of square kilometers of land, so that the problem of land scarcity will be easily solved, and the root cause of the rapid rise of housing prices will also be solved.

However, it is not easy to rebuild an economic center in a piece of wasteland. Although the Los Angeles city government is actively promoting it, the results are limited.

……

Moreover, in addition to the rapid growth of housing prices, the problem of traffic jams in downtown Los Angeles has become more and more serious in the past year, which made Lin Rui a little distressed.

No matter how good the car is, no matter how expensive it is, it can block you if it is blocked on the road.

Lin Rui recently bought a few more helicopters, and built aprons in the villa and on the company building. When he heard that the traffic was bad, he took the plane directly.

……

Lin Rui considered for a long time, and had a long talk with several main leaders in the city, and finally made a decision to move the headquarters to the new district.

However, this matter is not that simple. Taking advantage of the opportunity to rebuild the new headquarters, Lin Rui also wants to realize a big plan in his heart, a big plan that is absolutely shocking.

This matter has been communicated with the main leaders of the city. They understand that this will greatly promote the development of Los Angeles, and they have rushed to the province to lobby.

This kind of large-scale planning must be approved by the central government, and the city alone cannot promote it. It must be worked together by the provincial and municipal levels.

……

In the next few days, Lin Rui seemed to be at leisure, wandering around Los Angeles with a few girlfriends every day. Of course, most of the places were in the new district.

As a famous cultural and tourist city, Los Angeles has excellent natural scenery. Although the new area has few enterprises and has not undergone large-scale development, the scenery is first-class.

There are mountains, waters and lakes, and the mountains and rivers are all beautiful.

After several days of investigation and play, Lin Rui finally found a place with an extremely good location.

The excellent geographical location mentioned here does not mean that the economy is well developed, there are large enterprises, or it is close to the urban area.

On the contrary, it is far away from the urban area, thirty or forty kilometers away.

The main reason is that the natural scenery here is extremely beautiful, surrounded by mountains and rivers, the air is fresh, and it is surrounded by places of interest, mountains, rivers and ecological wetlands.

In this area, the land area available for development is more than 30 square kilometers, and there is an ecological zone of more than 100 square kilometers around it. In order to protect the local ecology and excellent natural scenery, it is not within the scope of development.

What Lin Rui likes is the more than 30 square kilometers of land that can be developed surrounded by mountains and rivers.

Not only is the area large enough, but what makes him most envious is the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers. If this is the basis, we can build a building that combines classics with modernity, and technology with mountains and rivers.

An epoch-making, picturesque, and extremely technologically intelligent super-large headquarters, the picture can be imagined.
