Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

In late August 1985, in the central urban area of ​​Yunlan, at a computer store.

Zhao Mancang went to great lengths to popularize computers.

The first task is to lay cables to many places within Yunlan City, and these cables must be high-speed and of high quality.

Otherwise, if the network speed is too slow, it will affect the consumer's product experience later on.

Take video calls as an example, at this point in 1985.

To achieve such high technology, a large amount of investment is required.

Therefore, the fiber optic cable must pass the test.

Secondly, we promoted the benefits of computers in various ways within Yunlan City, and also opened many internet cafes in public places.

Of course, public places like internet cafes still need stronger supervision.

Browsing websites with explicit sexual content is definitely not allowed.

A healthy online ecosystem needs to be established from the very beginning and cannot be polluted.

However, there are still relevant teaching materials from a purely medical perspective regarding this matter.

Surely some couples who are so well protected by their families that they haven't even had sex until half a year after getting married?

In fact, there really are people who are so clear-headed yet foolish.

Third, the promotion of culture and entertainment is also being carried out simultaneously.

Zhao Mancang did not stop Hollywood and other foreign films from entering Yunlan City; in fact, he actively brought these films into Yunlan City.

Foreign blockbusters are fine as long as they're watchable.

As for the issue of values, that's even easier to resolve.

Anyway, all four of Hollywood's biggest stars are under Zhao Mancang's control.

All the films that were shot had to be approved by Zhao Mancang.

Frankly, any movie with distorted values ​​should not be released.

For example, some movies are related to the concept of independence.

If those lone heroes hadn't been killed at the end of the movie...

If those who ingest this unique flour can have a good ending, then it certainly won't pass.

Films that promote such distorted values ​​are naturally not allowed to be approved.

Positive and uplifting films are what the general public should accept.

The same applies to some mystery/thriller films.

In addition to the three points mentioned above, there are many other more detailed aspects of promotion.

Zhao Mancang's original intention was very simple: to enrich the spiritual and entertainment life of the residents of Yunlan City.

Instead of making them spend all their time watching things like playing mahjong.

For example, this trend has already emerged in Niudongping Village.

Mahjong isn't inherently bad, but if it's used for gambling, it can be devastating for a family.

That's why there are so many different kinds of activities within Yunlan City.

For example, some music halls, drama halls, and skit halls are not exactly high-class venues; they are simply performance venues.

Whether it's highbrow or lowbrow.

As long as it enriches people's spiritual world, is positive and healthy, and does not contain any other cultural or entertainment activities that distort values.

No matter what form it takes, it can take root and flourish in Yunlan City.

Zhou Xiaoqing and Zhu Qinmei, along with their child, spent more than half an hour at the computer store before finally deciding to buy two computers.

Both are laptops, and they're not expensive; the total cost is 3,890 yuan.

For a couple with 180,000 yuan in savings, it's indeed not very expensive.

The couple, who had high hopes for their future, went straight to the telecommunications hall after buying the computer and then signed up for internet service.

However, this kind of internet service is a bit expensive, costing 200 yuan per month.

It's expensive, but with this kind of internet, the couple can chat face-to-face every day.

After gritting their teeth and buying it, their lives will be better from now on, and they won't have to worry about problems in their relationship.

With such promotion, the computer penetration rate in Yunlan City rose rapidly.

At the same time, the population of Yunlan City is also growing rapidly.

This is because a new wave of immigrants from within the country has arrived.

Meanwhile, the number of births continued to break new records this month.

The total population of Yunlan City is rapidly approaching 15 million.

For a 'country' with a land area of ​​over one million square kilometers, a population of fifteen million is indeed not many.

With Zhou Xiaoqing's family buying a computer, almost everyone in Niudongping Village had one in less than a month.

Because many people in their village work outside, even though they can be contacted by phone.

But if possible, face-to-face video calls would definitely be better.

As a result, computers quickly became best-selling products.

Zhao Mancang developed a targeted software application that significantly boosted computer sales.

It is believed that, over time, Yunlan City will soon become the place with the highest computer penetration rate.

When Zhao Mancang returned to Beijiang City, he also checked the local computer sales, but the results were far from ideal.

People are not very willing to buy computers.

First, the prices are too high; second, people are used to saving money; and third, there is insufficient motivation to consume.

In the original timeline, the situation was similar in our country; people were generally reluctant to spend money.

Previously, Zhao Mancang had offered several solutions to the problem of insufficient consumer spending in Beijiang City.

However, judging from the current situation, it seems that this is not the case.

People will still try to save money where they can.

Therefore, it seems necessary to give them more holidays and allow them to have a free medical check-up once a year.

We need to pay more attention to these working groups.

On the other hand, it is still necessary to increase wages to attract more people from outside the area.

What is the current vacancy rate of office buildings on Central Avenue?

Inside the Beijiang City Government office building, Zhao Mancang looked at Lu Shengwen in front of him and asked him a question.

"Currently, the office vacancy rate is 62%."

When reporting this situation, Lu Shengwen kept his head down and didn't dare to look at Zhao Mancang.

The central avenue is seven kilometers long, which is very long.

Even now, taller buildings are still being constructed on both sides of this avenue.

For example, the tallest building currently is the Great Wall Building, located in the central area of ​​Central Avenue. It is under construction and has reached a height of 482 meters. It is not yet completed.

Once completed, this will be the tallest building in the country.

On the Central Avenue side, there are still many buildings over 100 meters tall, and more than half of them have already been built.

Therefore, the central avenue of Beijiang City is definitely the place with the most and most concentrated buildings in the entire city, and even in the whole country, even slightly inferior to Hong Kong Island.

With so many high-rise buildings, it's not surprising that the vacancy rate is high.

"We need to continue expanding bidding, especially for domestic banks and other enterprises. We also need to build more and better buildings, raise the minimum wage in Beijiang City, and attract more people from outside the area."

Once the population of Beijiang City exceeded ten million, the city's development was already approaching a bottleneck.

If the vacancy rate of buildings can be solved, then the next step is to address the issue of public transportation.

Zhao Mancang had already been making preparations, and the first subway line was already under construction.

Without a subway, the pressure on surface transportation would be enormous. Things are relatively better now.

This is simply because toy factories and other similar businesses have a large concentration of people.

These workers who stay in the factory tightening screws almost all stay inside the factory and rarely go out.

Therefore, this type of population will not put much pressure on the city's public transportation.

But it cannot be taken lightly.

When the vacancy rate of office buildings along Central Avenue decreases, the city's traffic pressure will be overwhelming.

In fact, this problem already exists to varying degrees in many places now.

For example, during peak season, film studios and zoos are packed with people.

Places like Longjiang Park and the Cherry Blossom Tunnel are still crowded during peak season.

It's not that the population is too concentrated, but rather that there is indeed too much population in the country.

By 1980, China's population had already exceeded one billion.

Even though a significant portion of the population has migrated out of the area, family planning policies are still in place.

However, population growth remains inevitable.

A population of one billion is just a rough estimate.

In reality, whether it is actually one billion is not entirely confirmed.

"In addition, you must ensure that the supply of electricity and other energy sources is up to standard."

"Furthermore, we need to do more planning for urban underground pipelines and water resources."

Zhao Mancang gave the order.

Lu Shengwen and the others nodded repeatedly.

Beijiang City is currently the most developed city in China, without exception.

It is thanks to Zhao Mancang's resources that Beijiang City has been able to develop to its current state.

For Lu Shengwen and his team, it was thanks to Zhao Mancang's help that they were able to win without lifting a finger.

After finalizing this matter.

Zhao Mancang decided not to get involved in the matter any further.

As we all know, the development of a city will inevitably encounter many problems.

Zhao Mancang is a human being, not a god.

It is impossible to solve all the problems.

Take, for example, the office building vacancy rate.

While he can certainly help, how much can he really help?
Ultimately, it still depends on Beijiang City itself.

And people like Lu Shengwen to solve these practical problems.

Beijiang Railway Station is currently one of the busiest places in the city.

Why can't I bring these things?

"These are a gun and ammunition. You don't have a gun license, so you can't carry them."

At this moment, such a conflict occurred inside the train station.

Someone carrying a gun tried to enter Beijiang City, but was stopped.

Because once firearms and ammunition are discovered, they must all be handed over.

At the same time, it is not allowed to bring controlled knives or other prohibited items onto trains or take them out of Beijiang City, such as train stations.

If you're driving a car, then nobody cares.

These items are not allowed to be carried on public transportation such as train stations, bus stations, docks, and airports.

Nowadays, the management of Beijiang City is becoming increasingly strict, but that does not stop people from flocking to the city.

Just three days ago, another notice was posted in the municipal government compound of Beijiang City:
The minimum wage standard will be implemented next month. As long as you work in Beijiang City, regardless of your job, the minimum wage will be 100 yuan.

The news shocked the entire nation.

The city of Beijiang was the first to be shocked.

All major businesses in the city received this notification.

There's not much to say about state-owned enterprises; they had no choice but to agree.

There aren't many private enterprises, and they don't dare say anything.

Moreover, these private enterprises were all forced to remain in Beijiang City.

Isn't a five-year tax-free policy appealing?

They want to leave, but to be honest, it's very difficult for them.

The initial investment was considerable. Besides, even if we moved to another place, would it still be as comfortable as living in Beijiang City?

First, the government offices in Beijiang City are exceptionally efficient, and all procedures must be completed in one go.

If that's not possible, then remove the person in charge of that department or project.

Actually, at the beginning, some people were not happy about it.

He was replaced the very next day.

After doing this many times, the efficiency of Beijiang City became incredibly high.

What gift can I give? I can't give anything at all.

Secondly, Beijiang City has abundant power resources, human resources, and surrounding facilities.

Putting everything else aside, just considering the stability of the power supply in Beijiang City, it's something that other cities can't match.

Most businesses have never experienced a power outage since they settled in Beijiang City.

Whether for industrial or residential use, the price of electricity is very low, costing only five cents per kilowatt-hour.

Too cheap!

Furthermore, this city has an extremely rich human resource base, attracting a large number of talented individuals, making it relatively easy to recruit workers.

Currently, other cities in China, even major cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, are also included.

In these aspects, it may not be able to compare with Beijiang City.

Considering all the above factors, most businesses will not relocate.

Even if small businesses want to move away, Zhao Mancang won't stop them.

Moving out will make it easier to plan for the future.

A minimum monthly wage of 100 RMB is indeed incredibly attractive to people in many parts of the country.

After seeing the news, many people rushed to Beijiang City.

It is almost certain that Beijiang City will experience an even greater surge in population growth in the next year or two.

In addition to the minimum wage standard, Beijiang City will implement several other policies to enhance the overall competitiveness of the city.

Businesses definitely need to make a profit; otherwise, why would anyone start a business?

Therefore, this applies to small and medium-sized enterprises, especially micro-enterprises.

For example, the eyeglasses stores, clothing stores, restaurants, internet cafes, etc. that are scattered throughout the streets and alleys are all small and micro enterprises.

For this type of store, employees are also required to pay the minimum wage.

In addition, there must be a minimum standard of leave and social insurance and housing fund contributions.

Beijiang City will make concessions in other areas, such as value-added tax.

After all, these businesses need to make money for them to stay in Beijiang City.

Otherwise, these stores will soon go out of business. (End of Chapter)
