Chapter 166 Technology City Project

"When?" At this time, Zhou Ming was holding the mobile phone by his ear, and said to the other end of the mobile phone.

"The 30th of this month, the place is..." A man's voice also came from the other end of the phone.

This phone call didn't last long. It was originally a notification call. After Zhou Mingxun asked the specific situation, both parties hung up the phone.

This call came from Zhou Ming's company. As for the reason for the call, it was related to Bai Province's superiors.

It turned out that the leaders of Bai Province wanted to vigorously develop Bai Province and use the capital city of Bai Province.Luzhou City, which is also the only one in Bai Province that has a 985 university, is the main building target, and relies on the Huaguo University of Science and Technology located in Luzhou City, as well as the extremely rapid development momentum established in less than a year. Future Smart Technology Co., Ltd. and the branch company of Future Biotechnology Co., Ltd. moved from Jinling to build a science and technology city in the district where Huaguo University of Science and Technology is located.

Bai Xingbo has great ambitions this time. He wants to use Zhou Ming's identity, his two companies, and Huaguo University of Science and Technology to formulate a series of programs such as rent subsidies, house purchase subsidies, living subsidies, and preferential treatment for talents. The introduction of policies will turn Luzhou City into a true high-tech city in China that can rival Silicon Valley in the United States within ten years.

In order to attract talents, all parts of Huaguo have formulated a series of different talent introduction policies, but the current policies are still aimed at doctors and higher talents, and the preferential policies for ordinary undergraduates are not very obvious.

In a few years, all parts of the country will generally provide a series of subsidies for renting, buying houses, settling down, living, etc. for talents with a bachelor's degree or above.

Four years later, that is, 2020.

Quancheng City’s talent introduction policy includes rent subsidies and house purchase subsidies. The rent subsidies are paid in accordance with the standards of 1500 yuan, 1000 yuan and 700 yuan per month for full-time doctoral, master’s and undergraduate students for three consecutive years. The house purchase subsidy is in line with the purchase conditions Families of full-time doctoral and master students can enjoy a one-time housing subsidy of 15 yuan and 10 yuan respectively when they buy their first house locally.

Pengcheng’s talent introduction policies include settlement policies, living allowances, rental subsidies, and preferential treatment for talents. Among them, the content of the settlement policy is that those with a college degree (under 35 years old) and above who have Pengcheng social security can settle.

The living allowance is 15000 yuan for undergraduates, 25000 yuan for masters, and 30000 yuan for doctors, all of which are paid at once.

Then there is the rental subsidy. Its policy content is to provide 30 housing units for talents, but only those with a master's degree or above can be given priority to rent.

The content of the house purchase subsidy is for talents with a master's degree or above, and those who meet the conditions can apply for the purchase of houses for talents with a construction area of ​​less than 90 square meters.

最后的人才优待是对于国际顶尖人才和团队最高支持5000万元，高端人才有20万-1000万元的配套资助和100万-300万元奖励。

Jinling, the city where Zhou Ming graduated with a bachelor’s degree, also has settlement policies, rent subsidies, house purchase subsidies, start-up subsidies, and job interviews.

The settlement policy is that talents with a master’s degree or above and a bachelor’s degree under the age of 40 can settle with a graduation certificate, and technical and skilled talents can settle with a senior worker or above professional qualification certificate.

The rental subsidy is 600 yuan per month for bachelors and senior workers, 800 yuan per month for masters, and 2000 yuan per month for doctors, which can be received for 36 consecutive months.

The house purchase subsidy is that the loan amount for high-level talents to withdraw provident funds to purchase self-occupied houses can be relaxed up to 4 times, and the maximum house purchase subsidy for talents who live comfortably is 200 million yuan;

The start-up subsidy is a one-time start-up subsidy of 2000 yuan for college students to start a business in Jinling for the first time.

For job interviews, fresh graduates from other places will enjoy an interview subsidy of 1000 yuan when they come to Jinling for an interview.

After talking about some subsidies issued by these cities in order to introduce talents, let’s talk about the talent subsidies in Luzhou City.

At the end of 2020, Luzhou City also has talent subsidies and housing guarantees for talents, but the standard of rent subsidies is 2 yuan per person per year for doctors, 1.5 yuan per person per year for masters, and 1 yuan per year for undergraduate graduates. Graduates of junior colleges and higher vocational colleges are 0.6 yuan per person per year.

In terms of living allowances, doctors, full-time masters, graduates of 985 and 211 colleges and other urgently needed talents who meet the talent catalog can be given a monthly living allowance of 3000 yuan and 2000 yuan respectively within three years.

For the vast majority of undergraduates who did not graduate from 985 and 211, even in 2021, they can only get a subsidy of 10000 yuan a year in Luzhou City.

Although this amount of money is not a small subsidy compared to so many cities in the country, it is definitely not too much, and it is intended to turn Luzhou into a city of science and technology and attract a large number of talents with a bachelor's degree or above If it flows into Luzhou City, this policy is definitely not enough.

Attracting talents is not just about top talents. A pyramid is built piece by piece from top to bottom. Only top talents, without ordinary talents, it is impossible to develop a city.

Zhou Ming has also experienced the future from the third perspective several times. He has seen some future things with his own eyes. He knows that Luzhou is now in its initial stage. If he really wants to develop rapidly, then talent subsidies and other talent introduction policies must be indispensable. .

The leaders of the White Province mentioned that within ten years, Luzhou Science and Technology City will be built into a Silicon Valley that can rival Silicon Valley. It is another name for the Santa Clara Valley where high-tech businesses gather. Because it was the first place to research and produce silicon-based semiconductor chips, it is called Silicon Valley.

Silicon Valley is also known as the kingdom of the electronics industry and the computer industry. It is the pioneer and center of high-tech innovation and development in the world. It is supported by top American universities with strong scientific research capabilities, such as Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley.

In terms of structure, it is based on a group of high-tech small and medium-sized companies, and also has Google, Facebook, HP, Intel, Apple, Cisco, Nvidia, Oracle, Tesla, Yahoo and other large companies. technology and production as a whole.

Although Luzhou City is the capital city of Bai Province, it is not even considered a first-tier city in China, at most it is a second-tier city.

Bai Province wants to turn Luzhou City into a high-tech city comparable to Silicon Valley within ten years. If such a slogan spreads, most people will probably think it is a dream. He would laugh at Bai Sheng because he wanted to eat one bite and become a fat man.

You, Zhou Ming, are a genius and powerful. That’s right. Your future biotechnology company and future smart technology company are indeed developing amazingly. In the future, you will be able to develop into a world-class top technology company.

However, no science and technology city can be developed by relying on one person and one or two companies. Even if you can keep Zhou Ming in Luzhou City, you will eventually face a situation where you cannot support yourself alone.

These are the true thoughts of most people in the country after the news that Bai Province is building a technology city and striving to rival Silicon Valley within ten years.

However, from the perspective of the leaders of Bai Province, judging from the projects established by Future Smart Technology Company and Future Biotechnology Company, especially the more than 100 projects that Future Biotechnology Company plans to complete within this year , according to the development of this momentum, coupled with the full support of their Bai province, the science and technology city of Luzhou City is likely to be comparable to or even surpass Silicon Valley in ten years.

Silicon Valley is the kingdom of electronic industry and computer industry, so our science and technology city in Luzhou should focus on the development of biology, and the development of artificial intelligence and optoelectronic technology as a secondary development, right?

In terms of artificial intelligence, Luzhou City already has iFLYTEK, and in addition to the future intelligent technology company that has developed a blockbuster technology that can accurately predict the structure of proteins, in addition to biology, artificial intelligence is also an important aspect of Luzhou City. object of support.

Founded on December 1999, 12, iFLYTEK specializes in intelligent voice and language technology research, software and chip product development, voice information service and e-government system integration. Its founders are Liu Qingfeng, who graduated from HKUST, and his ten Several classmates.

Zhou Ming is now a professor at HKUST, and he also knows some professors from the Department of Information and Intelligence.

Before Li Mingzhi knew the news about Zhou Ming's super beans in advance, and after making a small profit in the stock market of the four major grain merchants, when he invited Zhou Ming to dinner, Chen Wen and the others told Zhou Ming at the dinner table that they would give him and Xunfei's boss Matchmaking, let the two of them get to know each other.
Since they are all from the University of Science and Technology, and they all have companies in Luzhou City, they can contact and cooperate more if they have the opportunity in the future.

It's just that at that time, Zhou Ming only had a few words of casual entertainment. Zhou Ming would understand the specific affairs of the company and designate a development plan, and generally would not intervene.

However, this time Bai Province wanted to build a technology city, and it must have called the bosses of some technology companies. The bosses who were born in HKUST iFLYTEK would definitely not stop calling, and Zhou Ming could chat with him then.

However, the science and technology city that Luzhou is going to build is mainly for the development of biology, although Zhou Ming is the only biotechnology company that can be sold in Luzhou City, and it is still a branch.

However, although Zhou Ming's company is still a branch company, the results it can produce are already equivalent to more than a dozen top biotechnology companies.

After all, the scope of Zhou Ming's biotechnology company is too wide. As long as it is related to biology, it covers almost everything.

Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about the projects that have been developed by the branch since it opened a branch in Luzhou.

The innovation of protein feed bioengineering manufacturing technology, the innovation of pig breeding technology and the cultivation of new varieties, the improvement of breeding technology of reed chicken and the research on rapid growth are all related to the life of ordinary people.

There are also molecular chaperone-mediated autophagy and hematopoietic stem cell aging, neural precursor cell transplantation to treat ischemic stroke to promote neural circuit reconstruction, and the functional mechanism of key protein machinery for intestinal mucosal immunity. These are all related to the body of ordinary people. The aspect of health.

There are also many researches on the design and development of new live vaccines based on synthetic biology, the design and system optimization of high light efficiency circuits in plants, the control of radionuclide pollution in uranium mining areas, and biological treatment technologies.

It can be said that although the research field of Zhou Ming's biological company is only the study of biology, it more or less covers people's life, old age, illness, death, food, clothing, housing and transportation.

However, since the day he received the news was only the 28th, and it was two days before the meeting officially started on April 30th, Zhou Ming continued to prepare for the artificial glucose after hanging up the phone.

By four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Ming summoned several postdoctoral assistants.

"Xia Xiao, Kang Ruicai, Wan Xingwen, I called the three of you out of the lab this time because I have something to tell you.

I'm going to take the research on artificially synthesized glucose a step further. Those experiments that you haven't finished at hand should be finished early, so that you can start to enter the next stage.

If you have finished the relevant experiment, don't rush to the next experiment, start to read some information.

I have organized the catalog of relevant literature on the materials you want to see, and I have organized them into a document, and I will send it to the group in a while.You read according to your own blind spots of knowledge, and you don’t need to read what you have read.

The next phase of experiments on artificially synthesizing glucose will begin next month, that is, in May. "

When Zhou Ming called the three postdoctoral assistants in his laboratory, he straight to the point and said to the three students.

Xia Xiao is the only woman among the three. She graduated from Huaguo Agricultural University with a Ph.D.

Kang Ruicai is a doctoral student who graduated from Jiangcheng University where many cherry blossoms were planted.

Wan Xingwen is a doctoral student in the School of Life Sciences of the University of Science and Technology of China. He graduated this year and has completed his graduation thesis and oral defense. Abandoned mercilessly.

The experiment that Zhou Ming said they were doing was the same as the experiment of synthesizing glucose that Zhou Ming had researched before. The first was electrocatalysis, and the second was to replace the fermenting microorganisms with related fermenting microorganisms that could produce the compounds that needed to be synthesized.

"Professor, isn't it good that the method we have developed is to first use electrocatalysis and then ferment microorganisms to produce the required compounds?
Moreover, didn't you say a few days ago that the mass production of artificially synthesized glucose is already possible? "

After Zhou Ming said these words, Xia Xiaoxiao looked at Zhou Ming with some puzzlement, and asked Zhou Ming. Kang Ruicai and Wan Xingwen also looked at Zhou Ming curiously. They all wanted to know what Zhou Ming said would be What is the further step in the study of artificially synthesized glucose?

It’s no wonder they were curious. After all, the glucose produced by electrocatalysis and improved Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been mass-produced, and the price is also very affordable. There is no need to completely artificialize it.

Because you really want to be completely artificial. One is that the role of biological enzymes is not easy to replace. It is not easy to find a catalyst that has a higher catalytic effect than biological enzymes, but its production cost is lower than that of biological enzymes. .

The second is that even if a method of completely artificially producing glucose is found, it is hard to say whether its production cost can be lower than the current method of semi-artificially producing glucose.

Moreover, if you are completely artificial, you need energy, right?

Where does the energy come from?
Doesn't the current factory all come from electricity?

However, electricity costs are not low either.

"This method of producing glucose intelligence is called semi-artificial, and it cannot be called artificially synthesized glucose. The further step this time is to completely abandon the fermenting microorganisms and use another purely artificial method to replace the role of fermenting microorganisms."

After hearing Xia Xiao's question and seeing the eyes of the other two, Zhou Ming replied.

After talking to them a few more words, Zhou Ming said again: "Okay, this is the end of the matter, you go to prepare, the official start of the experiment will probably be on May [-]th.

May [-]th happens to be Monday. During this period of time, after you finish the experiment at hand, you can take a good rest besides reading the materials, which can be regarded as a holiday for you. "
