Chapter 153: Zhejiang Province
On the second Monday of Jiang Hao's arrival in Hangzhou, the relevant departments of Zhejiang Province released the latest list of leadership team adjustments.
Jiang Hao's name appears on this list. He is a deputy leader on secondment, responsible for coordinating the work of high-tech industrial development zones across the province.
This bold "secondment" appointment indicates that the local government is very determined to mobilize the province's resources to develop a chip industry with "Jiang Song Electronics" as its core.
This also means that Jiang Hao will have to stay in Zhejiang Province for a long time.
Jiang Hao was originally a leader in the National Development and Reform Commission. His rank was very high. It was understandable that he came down to take up a temporary position and bring development resources to the local area.
However, it seems that in order to expand the scope of Jiang Hao's authority, there is one dispensable item in Jiang Hao's responsibilities - responsible for communication with the Eastern Theater Command.
In the early morning at Zhejiang University, the air is fresh and the environment is elegant. Groups of students walk towards the classrooms on campus.
Perhaps because it is far away from the imperial capital and there are no other universities of the same level competing with it, this place gives people a sense of grace and leisure as if it dominates Hangzhou and Zhejiang Province without any competitors.
Tang Jiayi is a graduate student majoring in economics at Zhejiang University. He and his roommate were carrying their backpacks and walking towards their supervisor's office.
His supervisor recently took on a project on the application of "Jiang Hao Economics" in international exchange rates, and produced a lot of results. Tong Jiayi also published several good papers.
Next Monday my supervisor will go to Yale University in the United States to give an academic report. Tongayi is lucky enough to be able to go to Yale with him to attend the conference.
When they first started college, they were very much looking forward to going to Ivy League schools like Yale University, and they always felt that they were very sacred.
But since the rise of "Jiang Hao Economics", the economics of China as a whole has become at the forefront of world economics, and Tong Jiayi feels that "Ivy League" seems to be nothing special.
Therefore, Tong Jiayi gave up the opportunity to study abroad and continued to study economics in China with his mentor.
Tang Jiayi's original career plan was to complete his graduate studies and work in an investment bank to make money, but after coming into contact with "Jiang Hao Economics", he had a greater pursuit - to contribute to the construction of the domestic economic system through his knowledge.
Tongayi's roommate was walking while checking his phone to get the latest information.
When he read the latest news from the province and saw that his "founding father" Jiang Hao had become a temporary leader, Tang Jiayi's roommate was surprised to share his discovery with him:
"Fuck, Old Tang, look, our great master has come to our province to take up a post!"
"It's really amazing. He is younger than us, but he is already such a big leader. There is absolutely no one like him before or after him!"
When working in economics, the most important thing is to grasp the timeliness of information. Before this new appointment was announced, Tonga had heard related rumors.
So facing his roommate's excitement, Tonga was much calmer. He said:
"He was originally the honorary dean of the Sinopec Research Institute, and he also held other concurrent positions, so his rank was high. Now that he has come to our province, it is considered a downgrade! And he was originally the leader of the Development and Reform Commission."
Then, Tongayi said to his excited roommate with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Besides, he is a Nobel Prize winner and our founder. You use age as a criterion to compare him with us mortals. Isn't this pure insult!"
"Old Tang, he is still from Sinopec?" Tang Jiayi's roommate confirmed in surprise.
"That's right! You didn't even know!" Tang Jiayi was shocked that his roommate didn't even know this.
Tang Jiayi hurriedly told his roommate: "His project 'Research on the Transformation of the World Petrochemical Industry Based on Jiang Hao's Curve Analysis' is a world-class project."
"Although this project is more of a global trade agreement in the petrochemical field, he is more of a mascot. And as Jiangfa Group's Jiangfa gas stations and Bomin Petrochemical's oil purchases begin to use RMB for international settlement, this subject project is being impacted, but it also shows his status!"
When talking about this, Tong Jiayi's roommate quickly remembered: "Yes, yes, yes, I remembered that not long ago, the master's eldest disciple Wang Tingzheng published a paper in the Oxford University's "Quarterly Journal of Economics". This paper is about the impact of Jiangfa Group's RMB settlement on the international exchange rate."
"Yes!" Tong Jia nodded slightly. He was very envious of Wang Tingzheng who could study with Jiang Hao.
Then, Tang Jiayi's roommate said excitedly: "I heard that the Grandmaster is going to come to our school to work!"
"When he was at Sichuan University, he taught economics courses. Many students made money by following his practical training classes. I wonder if he will come and teach us!" When Jiang Hao was in Sichuan, he was mainly working on the "Zhan-10Y" project of Chengfei Industry. This project needed to be kept strictly confidential, so in order to cover it up, he taught courses at Sichuan University.
But he had a reasonable reason to come to Zhejiang Province, and he was also responsible for the communication of the Eastern Theater, so he did not need cover. Therefore, although Jiang Hao came to Zhejiang University to work, he only had scientific research work at Zhejiang University, not teaching work.
Facing his roommate's expectations, Tonga said, "The school's official website shows that he is here to do a school-enterprise cooperation project in the chip field, and there is no news about the start of classes."
Hearing this, Tang Jiayi's roommate was unhappy and said, "What kind of school-enterprise cooperation is this? He is here to promote the construction of our school's electronic research and teaching system!"
"I think if he can really make a chip and establish a teaching and research system for chip majors in our school, this great achievement will be enough for him to be elected as an academician."
"Ah." Speaking of this, Tonga sighed and said, "Chips are not that easy to make. I heard that his 'Jiang Song Electronics' has invested hundreds of billions."
"For example, cars represent a series of industries such as engines, tires, seats, steel, and automotive glass. The same is true for chips, which represent an entire industry. Even if a company is very powerful, it will be difficult to succeed without the support of a mature industrial chain."
Tong Jiayi is pessimistic about "Jiang Song Electronics" because on the one hand, he hopes that his "founding father" will not be idle and continue to lead the domestic economics wholeheartedly;
On the other hand, this industry is really starting from scratch, which is really difficult.
But compared to Tong Jiayi's pessimism, his roommate was much more optimistic and said, "So he is in charge of the high-tech development zones of the entire province! This means he can mobilize the high-tech resources of the entire province!"
"In this regard, I really admire the courage of those officials!"
"If he can really make chips, it means a radical development of our country's high-tech industry! It means we won't be harvested by foreign countries for technology."
While Tong Jiayi was talking to his roommate, a BMW X5 with a white license plate drove into the Zhejiang University campus.
When they saw the car, Tong Jiayi and his roommate's eyes lit up immediately. They immediately pulled over to make way, and their postures became unconsciously tense and restrained.
In Zhejiang Province, and even in the whole country, there is only one BMW X5 with a white license plate that is used as a security vehicle in such a high-profile manner.
Sure enough, right after this secured BMW X5, an Audi A8L slowly drove into the campus of Zhejiang University.
Other officials are very low-key. On the one hand, they really don’t dare to spend some money that is not visible to the public. They are really afraid of being noticed for being too high-profile.
On the other hand, the state benefits they enjoy are subject to various standards, and if they exceed the prescribed standards, it will be a problem.
But Jiang Hao is different. He bought his car with his own money and his monthly salary is not enough for a meal. So he did not use the organization's resources for his own personal gain, but used his own resources to benefit the organization.
And everyone knows that he is the "world's richest man", so no one will consider his corruption issues. After all, who would give money to the "world's richest man"?
At the beginning, when he was just reborn, Jiang Hao always wanted to keep a low profile and even felt nervous sitting in a Mercedes-Benz Maybach.
But now Jiang Hao no longer cares about these things, because he is completely worthy of them.
"Damn, he's so handsome!"
When the Audi A8L drove past them, Tang Jiayi and his roommates couldn't help but sigh when they saw through the window the "ancestor" sitting in the car reading documents carefully.
Although it is just an Audi A8L, it looks really handsome with Jiang Hao's "halo".
When others ride in an Audi A8L, they need the car's "halo" to highlight their status, but Jiang Hao's status no longer needs any external objects to highlight it. On the contrary, it is his "halo" that highlights the identity of the car.
Looking at the Audi A8 going away, Tong Jiayi said with deep emotion: "I really admire him!"
"He is a Nobel Prize winner and the world's richest man. With his resources and influence, he can make money in the capital market with just a few words."
"But we have to take such a big risk and invest so much energy to make chips from scratch."
"Sure enough, the boss's realm is different from that of mortals like me! He has completely gotten rid of vulgar interests!" Tang Jiayi's roommate nodded and agreed.
