Chapter 184 Hangzhou has changed

"I remember, of course I remember. Mengxi often chats with me online to discuss problems." Wu Chenghao said excitedly, thinking that his serious attitude in answering questions every time before finally impressed the goddess.

However, Lin Ruoyan paused on the other end of the phone and said awkwardly, "Ah, Mengxi is still in contact with you? Oh, let me put it this way. Actually, if you're busy, I'll make it short. Hao Heshan, the Director of the Information Department, has some technical questions for you. I don't know if you're in China. Is it convenient for us to talk about this?"

"That's convenient. I'm right in Beijing." Wu Chenghao was slightly disappointed, but it was nice to be able to meet and chat. Seeing the goddess in person was enough for him.

"Well, you can come to our company another day to meet and talk." Lin Ruoyan made the invitation helplessly.

On the appointed day, Wu Chenghao dressed solemnly and walked into Lin Ruoyan's company in elegant attire.

The company's grandeur is beyond words. Entering the open office area, he saw that all employees, including the receptionist, were equipped with advanced dual-screen computers. Most people even had a camp bed under their desks. He envied their high morale.

In order to expand the PHS business in major northern cities, he set up an office in Beijing. However, the performance of the employees was so poor that they would slack off when he was not in the office.

Later he learned that regardless of the position at Lin's Real Estate, the average annual income per person started at more than 100,000 or 200,000 last year, including the receptionists and drivers. No wonder people were so enthusiastic about their work.

When I entered the meeting room, Lin Ruoyan was already waiting there.

Next to her sat a plain-looking young man with thinning hair and glasses. He was probably the director of the IT department, a programmer like him who would have a balding hairline by the time he was thirty.

Therefore, Wu Chenghao felt that his current dress and manners were still quite outstanding. Otherwise, Lin Ruxu would not have invited him to a blind date with Lin Ruoyan.

But when it came to discussing professional issues, the knowledge that Wu Chenghao was proud of was immediately overshadowed by Hao Heshan.

This unremarkable young man actually graduated from a prestigious university. Although he did not study abroad, his knowledge in the corresponding professional field is definitely higher than that of ordinary people. Key is that he also has knowledge of the cutting-edge fields of other electronic technology.

The more they talked, the more they got along, and the words they used became more professional.

Lin Ruoyan felt drowsy after listening to it. She used the excuse of going to the bathroom to leave the meeting room and never dared to come back.

It turned out that Hao Heshan called in a few more people from the Information Department. Perhaps some sparks had really struck between him and Wu Chenghao during the chat, and they started to recruit people, ready to set up the framework and start the business immediately.

The front desk brought in coffee and snacks for them, and asked if they wanted to order lunch. Wu Chenghao also called people and asked his men to come and support them.

At this time, Lin Ruoyan received a call from Li Wan in Hangzhou, saying that there were some new moves in the Hangzhou High-tech Zone and hoped that she could rush there as soon as possible to avoid missing the opportunity.

Lin Ruoyan wondered if Li Wan’s ex-husband was from Yuhang, so how come he was related to the High-tech Zone?

Li Wan did not hide the fact that her embroidery products were often given as gifts to merchants by the Investment Promotion Office of the China Merchants Group, so she actually had some connections in various districts of Hangzhou and was well-informed.

Li Wan said that the high-tech zone will introduce a large number of enterprises, and there will definitely be opportunities in the construction of industrial parks.

Lin Ruoyan was right in her thinking. Hangzhou would be a quasi-first-tier city in the future. If there were other construction projects there, her real estate company would of course have to get involved. She immediately asked the front desk to arrange a ticket for her and also coordinated someone from the design department to accompany her to see the project.

Ever since Hangzhou signed the boutique hotel project, people from the design department have been there several times. One of them was a young girl from the south who had only graduated from an architecture degree two years ago. She was not very old, but had strong comprehensive abilities and took the initiative to fight for the opportunity of the Hangzhou project.

Lin Ruoyan took the girl with her and flew to Hangzhou that afternoon.

Over there, Wu Chenghao and Hao Heshan sparked some new sparks and were so engrossed in the debate and discussion that they only realized after finishing their lunch that Lin Ruoyan had already gone to the airport and was flying to Hangzhou in the afternoon.

Wu Chenghao was about to chase after him, but while he was still hesitating, Hao Heshan pulled him back to the conference table.

Their recent research focuses on the application software for European and American smartphones. Wu Chenghao also realizes that the Xiaolingtong (PhS) system may only be a temporary transitional product, and that smartphones hold enormous promise in the future. Mobile phones also need application software. At the time, with some open source systems, the development of such software was only available in developed countries in Europe and America, and was still in its infancy. Only by catching up now could China have a chance in the future.

He hadn't expected Hao Heshan to be so perceptive, already planning mobile software development, and even planning to transition some of his current computer-based websites and software to smartphones in the future. Although there were some technical difficulties and barriers, Hao Heshan was determined and decided to start accumulating technical experience now.

This certainly requires some resources from advanced European and American companies. Wu Chenghao doesn't know much about this, but after being inspired by Hao Heshan, he also feels that it is so difficult to promote Xiaolingtong in the north and it may be easily replaced in the future. Should he also consider more about future development?

Back to the topic of career, Wu Chenghao finally gave up the impulse to pursue girls. When his career is big and famous, what kind of woman will he not want? Now his career is obviously not as good as Lin Ruoyan's, the gap is too big.

Realizing the gap, he cleared all his irrational thoughts and started a serious discussion with Hao Heshan. Later, he also planned to register a technology company in the industrial park in Shijs District, just like Hao Heshan, to pave his own "back-up plan" in advance.

After Lin Ruoyan arrived in Hangzhou that night, she first took the girl to Louwailou for dinner. Then she checked into a five-star hotel nearby and had a spa treatment, without mentioning work at all.

It was like flying in for a special trip, making the young woman in the design department feel uneasy. Fortunately, she brought her work computer. After accompanying Mr. Lin for a meal and some fun, she began to push the design progress of the boutique hotel in her room. She planned to use this business trip to research competing projects and identify and address any gaps in the existing plan.

When Lin Ruoyan woke up the next day, she noticed that the girl from the design department seemed a little tired. She asked with concern, "Didn't you get enough rest last night? How about taking a day off and we can talk about things tomorrow?"

The little girl was so scared that she quickly waved her hands, and then she was alert and accompanied Mr. Lin to meet Li Wan.

Li Wan had her own business, so she didn't have to work in the shop or factory every day. Instead, she was good at enjoying herself. Now that she was single and free from the worries of her in-laws, she was able to have fun even more freely. She and Lin Ruoyan met at a high-end teahouse, where they had also invited a woman.

This lady is a person in charge of planning in the high-tech zone. Her surname is Liu and she is in her thirties. Li Wan calls her Sister Liu.

Hangzhou's High-Tech Zone refers to the area south of the Qiantang River. For Hangzhou residents, that area is considered the suburbs. In reality, it's now a vast expanse of farmland and rural areas. Although it's closer to the city than Xiaoshan Airport, its development has lagged behind.

The city of Hangzhou has long wanted to introduce some high-tech industries. Of course, the most popular ones nowadays are software and electronic technology.

Lin Ruoyan talked to others about some methods of building a bio-pharmaceutical industry base in the Dax District of Beijing, focusing on policy design and development costs.

The woman only took notes on the policy, but was more concerned about development costs. Building a factory and attracting investment seemed easier than selling land, but how much would it cost, and who would pay for it?
