Qin Yi, who has extremely strong psychological skills, can naturally observe this small change.
It stands to reason that Liang Xingli's junior brother is also competing for this position this time. Now that he has won the executive deputy mayor, it is good that Liang Xingli does not have any objections to him.
"Surface polite?"
Qin Yi shook his head secretly in his heart. Anyway, it depends on the attitude of the other party. After all, he knows the person but not the heart.
"Mayor Qin, you are now officially the Executive Vice Mayor and a member of the Municipal Standing Committee. Do you have any new ideas for the future development of our Haitong City?" Liang Xingli looked at Qin Yi and asked.
Qin Yi glanced at the other party and said slowly: "Economy, education!"
After hearing this, Liang Xingli smiled slightly and said, "Let's talk while we walk. Can you start a conversation?"
The development of any region is inseparable from economy and education.
How can other people's livelihoods be improved if there is no money or talent?
Can't be improved!
If you have money, everything can be improved.
As the saying goes, it’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice!
"good."
As the two walked, Qin Yi continued: "Let's talk about education first. The educational conditions of our Haitong City, no, even the educational conditions of our entire Tiannan Province are among the lowest in the country. If the education is not good and the talents are few, even if there are A certain amount of talent has been lost to Hai Viet, a major economic province next door!"
The economy of Tiannan Province belongs to the lower reaches in the country, and working outside is definitely the epitome of most ordinary people.
There is no way, the local economy and local companies simply cannot retain those elite talents and the vast number of workers.
"Education cannot be improved overnight. The most important thing is that we need money!"
"Well, you're right." Liang Xingli nodded slightly. Qin Yi had said so much, but to put it bluntly, he had not yet touched on the key point.
Everyone knows how to focus on the economy and education, but how to do it and how to do it well is the key.
“So the most critical and priority thing for us in Haitong City is to improve the economy!”
"How to do it, this is the key. I think Guishan Province, the neighboring province in the northwest, is doing it very well. They know very well that they are very poor. The entire province is mountainous and most of them are karst landforms. It is definitely impossible to develop industry. So they thought of a new way, which is to combine their local advantages to build a cloud data center, invite major domestic and foreign Internet giants to invest in cloud data centers, and use this to drive their local tourism economy! I bet that in the next three years, After that, their economy will take off for the first time, and will surpass our Tiannan Province by then!" Qin Yi said firmly.
"The capital of Guishan Province has surpassed us? This is unlikely!" Liang Xingli frowned slightly.
The economy driven by cloud data centers is not big!
"It's just getting started now. What if most of the Internet giants at home and abroad build cloud data centers there? By then, all roads will be connected, and all roads will be connected. Won't it be easy for the tourism industry to develop?"
The most important thing is that the higher-ups should support this place!
The economy will take off sooner or later!
They started laying out the plan in 2014.
By 2017, it began to bear fruit.
It’s only 2016, and many people outside are not very optimistic about it.
But in 2017, Guishan Province's annual GDP was more than 1.3 trillion yuan. Although the total amount is not large, its economic growth rate reached 10.2%, ranking first in the country and 3.3 times higher than the national average growth rate. percentage points.
When other people's economies take off, you realize belatedly that they have already taken off.
After listening to Qin Yi's words, Liang Xingli said thoughtfully: "What you said makes some sense. The transportation there is not very developed. If the transportation is improved, the tourism industry will indeed take off and other industries will be stimulated."
"Actually, we can also drink soup now. Many places in the north of our Tiannan Province also have karst landforms, and we also have certain advantages." Qin Yi said with a smile.
What does a cloud data center need?
Mild climate, low electricity costs, and a safe location.
In the previous life, Guishan Province had a mild climate and a safe karst landform!
In addition, Guishan Province, as one of the main provinces in the country for west-to-east power transmission, has very rich power resources, which can continuously supply power to big data centers. In addition, the local government is trying to attract more big data centers and After settling in, they gave a big discount on the electricity bill. For example, the average electricity price for big data centers across the country is 0.87 yuan/kWh, and the electricity price in coastal areas is as high as 1.5 yuan/kWh. At present, the lowest preferential electricity price offered by Guishan Province is only about 0.35 yuan per kilowatt hour. This can greatly reduce the operating costs of big data centers.
At that time, Guishan Province took advantage of its climate advantages and low electricity prices to develop the big data industry! Another thing is that it spares no effort to develop transportation, fully tap tourism resources, and engage in tourism.
Speaking of which, in fact, their Tiannan Province also has certain natural conditions, but why did they drink some soup after realizing it in the past life?
It’s mainly the human factor!
In the previous life, governments at all levels in Guishan Province actively went out and contacted major companies to set up big data centers; on the other hand, in order to allow major companies to invest in big data centers with peace of mind, governments at all levels also demonstrated Thanks to their sincerity and efforts, a big data center can be built in a short time from project establishment to complete completion and production. This efficiency greatly exceeds the expectations of many enterprises.
What were you people in Tiannan Province doing at that time?
Of course, to put it bluntly, it means super low electricity prices, various land, tax and other discounts.
Faced with such huge attraction, if others don’t come, who will?
"Do we also have an advantage?" Liang Xingli looked at Qin Yi.
"Yes, the northernmost county in our city also has a typical karst landform. It has the lowest temperature in the city throughout the year. There is also a natural lake covering an area of ten square kilometers. The water in these lakes is cold and thorough, and it all comes from underground rivers. That The place is very suitable for building cloud data centers! The first batch has already settled in Guishan Province. We have no choice but to fight for it, but it is not too late for us to fight for the second and third batch! We are not greedy either , it will be good for Haitong City to win over one or two companies!" Qin Yidao.
"Of course, if we want to fight for it, the most important thing is the price of electricity. Our Haitong City must provide a price of no more than 40 cents per kilowatt hour, otherwise people will definitely not come! The machines in the cloud data center run 24 hours a day all year round, so But he is a big consumer of electricity!" Qin Yi was popularizing science with a serious look on his face.
In the past life, Tiannan Province was belatedly aware of the problem and waited several years before remembering to follow the trend. In the end, a few companies invested in a few small and medium-sized cloud data centers with only a few billion investments.
