Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 883 Can Create Opportunities

This example of digital social application is very mundane. It is a bicycle social rental service that solves the problem of the last mile of travel in urban areas.

The gold content of its technology is far inferior to the shared bicycles that became popular more than 20 years later in time and space. The various high-tech including GPS and big data used are just an IC card information management system.

Although the technical level of the whole system seems a bit "rough", the actual operation effect is very satisfactory.

In short, the users are very rule-abiding, and there are no problems such as random parking, and the fact that they can lock the car after use, but let the children take advantage of the loopholes to ride the car away, resulting in a tragic car accident. A lot of shit.

The reason why people can be so "sensible" is mainly because Hanoukville has basically established the digital social network expected by Tang IT - every citizen has a corresponding database, who dares to break the law and who dares to be immoral , then record a negative record, and then let it have a sense of awe.

Of course, it is a special case that this kind of honesty mechanism of "people are doing it, and the sky is watching" can be formed.Gein must first have financial supporters who are willing to invest huge resources in this experiment, and secondly, there must be hundreds of thousands of citizens who are willing to be manipulated as long as they have a meal, and loyal plan implementers.

An ordinary social bicycle rental service can achieve such an orderly state, and other key areas such as taxation and finance can be imagined with a degree of regulation.

Use IT technology to build a social credit system, so that every member of society is in awe of honesty, so as to reduce the overall cost of social operation, and then under this premise, whether you want to make a fortune or want to be famous, you can toss hard—this is Tang A major social experiment target for IT.

Perhaps, when the scale of Hanouk City becomes larger, the current idealized results will be impacted, but Tang Huan is already so satisfied that he said to the left and right with a smile: "It seems that after the "Future After "The Road", I can publish another book next year."

Hearing this, Huang Jinbo, the mayor of Hanouk City, said excitedly, "Then I'm going to make a name for myself."

The richest man laughed loudly, "You are a star mayor."

……

The winner is indeed a hard worker at the same time——Wang Yongqing, who is very old, has a full work schedule this time, and he is not inferior to Tang Huan at all.

The Formosa Plastics Group's light oil plant in Funan is a source of great wealth, which greatly pleased Wang Yongqing and Long Yan, who were somewhat dissatisfied in Baodao. What they saw and heard when they came to Funan in person further prompted him to have the idea of ​​​​expanding investment. .

The richest man once again entertained Wang Yongqing on a warship of the Funan Navy.

Standing on the deck and looking around, the sky is high and the sea is wide, which makes people feel heroic.

Wang Yongqing sighed with emotion: "What a majestic teacher!"

Tang Huan joked: "This lion is enough to guard Jinshan."

Wang Yongqing smiled knowingly, and then said: "When I was talking with Prime Minister Zheng Yuanzheng, I learned that Funan intends to build its own steel factory."

"This is a hugely expensive project, and Mr. Wang is also interested?" Tang Huan raised his brows and reminded: "Compared to previous years, Funan's environmental protection requirements have improved a lot."

"No matter where you invest, it's an inevitable general trend——Treasure Island is more restrictive." Wang Yongqing said very frankly: "I'm more interested in the investment environment in Funan."

"Wang Lao is interested, of course it is a good thing." Tang Huan nodded affirmatively, "But, I guess, judging from the current situation of Baodao, compared with the previous light oil plant, Baodao officials are likely to borrow The machine puts forward certain political demands, and then exerts influence on the progress of the project.”

Speaking of this, Tang Huan smiled, and pointed out the essence directly: "It is obvious which side Funan will give priority to."

"The Tang Dynasty is worried about it." Wang Yongqing frowned, and said in a deep voice: "But the more this is the case, the more determined I am."

Tang Huan nodded slightly. He understood Wang Yongqing's insistence on going out - it would not be an exaggeration to say that the development of Formosa Plastics in Taiwan had hit a ceiling.Due to the limited ability of Baodao's environment to withstand pollution, the public's awareness of environmental protection has increased, so Formosa Plastics' heavy industrial projects are often unpopular.

……

While Tang Huan stayed in Hanouk City, he was also waiting for a key news.

Sure enough, at the [-]th Association of Southeast Asian Nations Summit held in Bangkok, Thailand, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad officially proposed that the construction would start from Spring City, the capital of China’s southern Yunnan province, pass through Laos, Thailand, Funan, and Malaysia, and finally arrive at Singapore's international railway, namely the "Pan-Asian Railway", has been endorsed by relevant countries.

To be precise, the real "Pan-Asian Railway" is a more grand construction plan, and Mahathir Mohamad is only a part of it.

The concept of the full version of the "Trans-Asian Railway" began in the 1950s and was planned by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific. It is expected to build a railway with a length of 14080 kilometers, running through Singapore and Istanbul, Turkey, and extending to Europe and Africa.

This construction plan, which attempts to create a railway transportation network in the Eurasian continent, is roughly divided into four parts.

Northern Corridor - connecting Europe and the Pacific Ocean, passing through Germany, Poland, Belarus, Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, China and the Korean Peninsula, and the existing Siberian Railway that transports goods from the Far East to Europe via Moscow overlapping.

North-South Passage - connecting Northern Europe with the Persian Gulf.The main line starts from Helsinki, Finland, crosses the Russian territory to the Caspian Sea, and then divides into three branch lines: the western line passes through Azerbaijan and Armenia and enters western Iran; the central line enters Iran through the Caspian Sea by train ferry; Eastern Iran.The three branch lines finally meet in Tehran, the capital of Iran, and finally arrive at the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas.

Southern Corridor - connecting Europe and Southeast Asia, passing through Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, and then entering China's Southern Yunnan Province respectively, and entering Singapore via Malaysia.

Southeast Asia Corridor - is now the construction plan proposed by Mahathir Mohamad.

Because the civil aviation industry just started a few decades ago and was not yet developed, the plan of the full version of the "Trans-Asian Railway" has the obvious attraction of reducing transportation time and cost.

It is a pity that the distance between ideal and reality is too great—hindered by various political and economic factors, the "Trans-Asian Railway" has never been able to talk about any progress, and it is not remembered again until today, a few years after the end of the Cold War.

In fact, even now, these resistances are still very troublesome.

Take the railway track distance as an example, there are four current standards in the Eurasian continent - most European countries, Turkey, Iran, China and the Korean peninsula, the standard gauge is 1435 mm; Finland, Russia, and others The former Soviet republics use 1520mm wide gauge; most of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka use 1676mm wide gauge; Southeast Asia mostly uses 1000mm narrow gauge.

In addition, there are compatibility issues similar to those in the computer field in terms of electrified railway standards, signaling systems, customs clearance and quarantine, etc.

Fortunately, Tang Huan's concern is only the Funan section under the Southeast Asian passage in the entire "Pan-Asian Railway" plan.

More specifically, Funan, which is separated from China by Thailand and Laos, is connected to China from Thailand or Laos.

From an overall point of view, among the "Pan-Asian Railway", Funan belongs to the marginal position, and Bangkok, Thailand is the only place to pass.

Therefore, Funan is connected to China through Thailand, and the economic return should be relatively better.

But all eggs cannot be put in the same basket, and international relations need checks and balances, so the plan to connect to China via Laos cannot be completely rejected.

How to choose, for the richest man with strong financial resources, it is not really distressed-even if the two lines go hand in hand, so what?This is not to build a high-speed railway, and spending hundreds of millions of dollars is not a difficult task!
The key point is that Mahathir Mohamad made a good start. Invisibly connecting Funan to China's railway, the political significance of it will not be so prominent.

The richest man, who got the news, immediately went straight to Bangkok, Thailand, and followed in a serious manner. He was interested in participating in the construction of the Trans-Asian Railway.

As a result, the concept of "Trans-Asian Railway" suddenly became very popular - Mahathir Mohammad, who saw this scene, was very happy.

It is necessary to point out that countries such as Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore are now in a stage where the economic situation is very good, and they are very motivated to build the "Trans-Asian Railway".

Compared with Singapore, which is active in international affairs and has promoted the Asia-Europe Meeting. Seeing such a response to the "Trans-Asian Railway" plan he proposed, Mahathir Mohamad cannot be in a bad mood - no matter where he is. Comparison is inevitable.

Tang Huan always makes decisions before moving, and the railway from Funan to China is no exception—the preparations are made in secret, to the extent that he can't wait to start construction immediately.

However, the show for others must be well done - the richest man is attracted by the extraordinary concept of the "Pan-Asian Railway"; because Funan is in an embarrassing position on the "Pan-Asian Railway" route that is out of reach and dispensable, And eager to gain a first-mover advantage.

During this kind of activity where you sing and I come on stage, Tang Huan also inspected Asia's largest hard disk factory in Bangkok, and also visited Shinawatra, the largest computer and communication company in Siam - you know , whose value has pushed the current Deputy Prime Minister of Siam, Thaksin, to the position of the richest man in Siam.

Naturally, Tassin personally accompanied him on this tour and talked about the construction of the "Trans-Asian Railway".

According to the plan of the "Pan-Asian Railway", the section from the capital of Funan, Painang, to the capital of Siam, Bangkok, is currently ready-made, so the section from Siam to China has become a decisive factor for whether Funan can connect to China.

Just like the phenomenon of "corruption of small officials", relying on Siam's administrative system to operate efficiently and cleanly on the "Trans-Asian Railway" project is tantamount to nonsense.

Zheng Yuanzheng, Prime Minister of Funan, who became a pioneer after Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, proposed that Funan and other parties be responsible for project management, and Siam would just provide some capital, land, and human resources.

"It's not easy!" Tassin said with a bitter smile, "You can definitely expect that many forces are coveting the delicacy of this cake."

Seeing the other party speak so bluntly, the richest man was also speechless.There is no way, this is the reality - good things are not necessarily easy to handle!
Putting this topic aside for now, Tang Huan turned to say implicitly: "Now you should spread your wings and fly high."

Taxin, who heard the sound of the piano and knew the elegance, was a little hesitant, "I should accumulate more qualifications."

"Opportunity will come soon, and it will only favor those who are prepared." The richest man in Siam, a Buddhist country, does not mind playing with mysticism, and said with an unpredictable attitude: "I said it a long time ago You will have a lot of money, right? Then you can't go wrong if you go straight up!"

"That's also because of Datang's help." Believe it or not, Ta Xin only knows about that, but the attitude of not forgetting the well digger is still in place.

……

Heads and heads are really busy - after the [-]th Association of Southeast Asian Nations Summit, there will be an APEC summit held in this book, so everyone went home after discussing things for a while.

After arriving at Bai Nang, my uncle Han Anyuan looked at the map and sighed depressingly, "It's so narrow that it looks like a pig's kidney. It's really annoying!"

Among the several plans for Funan to connect to China, even if it passes through Laos, it may not be able to bypass Thailand, because the border between the northeast of Funan and Laos is not long, and it is crowded with the narrow connection between South Vietnam and North Vietnam.

Funan naturally hopes to connect the railway to China, and the shorter the sections that pass through other countries, the better. However, the northern part of Funan is mountainous, and based on the international situation, it is first unwilling to use Annan, an enemy who once met at war, and Siam has a similar situation. factors, so the railway made several turns, which was really unavoidable.

The richest man said leisurely: "In my opinion, it is better to start with the easy and then the difficult. Besides, there is no harm in building a few more railways."

Han Anyuan gestured on the map, "You mean, connect Bainang with Vientiane, the capital of Laos first."

Tang Huan nodded, "Build this northern line first. First of all, Funan's international land transportation can reduce its dependence on the western line leading to Bangkok, Thailand."

Han Anyuan frowned and said: "But our real goal is still not achieved."

Tang Huan smiled slightly, "Uncle, be patient, we can create opportunities."

Han Anyuan, who had realized something, asked curiously: "Are you hoping that Ta Xin will bring about a turnaround after taking office? Are you so optimistic about him?"

"No...he's just a small assist player." Tang Huan shook his head slightly, "I'm referring to a general trend."

Speaking of which, the richest man raised his hand like a knife, and cut lightly on the map at the narrowest point of the Malay Peninsula, which is bordered by the Gulf of Siam in the east and the Andaman Sea in the west, "Maybe, we will be forced to Here it is opened, linking the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean—and our fleet is now unimpeded."
