After the bus was parked, led by Snapdragon administrative manager Bai Yuquan, the group came to the door of Lianyuan Hotel. One of them was wearing glasses and about 37 or 38 years old. When he saw Du Qiu, he asked directly: "Xiao Du, I won't visit here. Send a car to take me to your company to see."

"Professor Gao, don't worry, I'll take you to the company immediately after seeing it." Du Qiu pointed to a simplified and interesting rockery in the gatehouse, and persuaded with a smile: "This place has a long history and beautiful scenery. Even if you don't look at the house, it's good to take a walk, and it won't take much time."

"There will be an important academic conference in the school next week. I must go back to Ice City tomorrow." Professor Gao, with a typical national face, gave people a serious and square feeling. He turned his head and urged everyone: "Go in and try to finish watching it early."

"Don't worry, Professor Gao, I have already bought the air ticket for you." Bai Yuquan made a thoughtful gesture of invitation, and said while leading the way: "The direct flight from 2 pm tomorrow will arrive at Ice City at about 5 o'clock."

"Okay, thank you."

Du Qiu fooled 8 senior talents to visit Yuncheng this time. Among them, Professor Gao Wengao, the oldest, the strongest and the highest position, is 39 years old and has produced many scientific research results. He is not only a professor and doctoral supervisor, but also a director of the Computer Department of Bingcheng University of Technology and a core member of the National 863 Program Intelligent Computer Theme Expert Group. In the future, he will also become alum-fellow, ieee-fellow and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. He is a world-class giant in the fields of artificial intelligence and multimedia.

Snapdragon will definitely not be able to find such a super talent now, but it can win over feelings and establish a good cooperative relationship. Therefore, after Du Qiu met Professor Gao at a meeting of the Ministry of Electronics Industry, he used both soft and hard skills and lobbyed from multiple sources to fool him to Yuncheng for a visit.

Except for Professor Gao, the other seven are senior talents who are interested in joining Snapdragon. They are between the ages of 25 and 35. They are in the golden age of young and prosperous. They have either published innovative high-quality papers or completed complex high-level scientific research projects. They are all young talents with great development potential in the domestic computer field.

In Du Qiu's eyes, these seven people are like rockets filled with fuel. Everything is ready, and there is only one opportunity to ignite. As long as they are given a good R&D environment and sufficient financial support, and a little point of direction, they can soar into the sky and create scientific and technological achievements worth hundreds of millions of dollars for Snapdragon. Therefore, the hospitality was very attentive and was eager to seek talents. As soon as they returned to Yuncheng, they personally took them to visit their residence.

"Old man, look at that building is so beautiful, just like the villa of the big family in the Republic of China in the movie."

"This aunt has a good vision. These buildings are indeed buildings from the Republic of China period. They were designed by the famous architect Professor Yang Tingbao in 1946." Bai Jie temporarily acted as a tour guide and introduced: "Professor Yang is known as the first modern architecture in China. In 1955, he was elected as a member of the first academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is equivalent to the current academician. Therefore, these buildings are not only beautiful, but also particularly strong. Even after decades of wind and rain, there is no problem at all."

"It turned out to be designed by the academician, no wonder it looks so good."

"The pond over there is a lotus pond? It looks quite large, at least eight or nine acres."

"The area of ​​the lotus pond is more than 10 acres. It is particularly beautiful after the lotus blooms in summer. Many students from the art academy often come here to sketch."

As everyone listened to the introduction, they walked towards the model house while visiting. A man wearing glasses and about the same age as Qin Mu left behind, walked side by side with Du Qiu, and asked: "I heard Qin Mu talk about the smart city experimental zone last night, and the above have already approved it?"

"It has not been officially approved yet, but it is basically a foregone conclusion." Du Qiu spread his hands and said, "Sanjiang Province originally wanted to let Yuncheng eat alone, but it was not successful. The above approved a total of five urban pilot areas, Jingcheng, Pujiang, Pengcheng, Jiangcheng and Yuncheng."

"Qin Mu said Yuncheng has the highest specifications?"

"Well. Several other cities have adopted the economic and technological development zone model, and have designated a piece of land as a pilot zone. Only Yuncheng has adopted a model similar to Pudong New District, and has designated a new administrative zone as a pilot zone. The level is temporarily set as a deputy department. However, I heard that the province is still active and strives to upgrade to a higher level." Du Qiu glanced at the crowd in front of him and said with a smile: "The current plan is still confidential. If you want to change jobs to Yuncheng, it is best to hurry up, otherwise the threshold of Snapdragon will be much higher after the plan is announced."

"Even Qin Mu knows it, is it still confidential?"

"In the details, the list of cities in the experimental zone is not confidential, but how to build the experimental zone is still confidential." Du Qiu did not want to say much, but just reminded: "Snapdragon will deeply participate in the construction of the smart city experimental zone, and the funds and scale involved will be far beyond your imagination."

"Then I'll wait and see." The man smiled, looked at the shimmering pond not far away, and changed the topic: "This hotel is not small, how many buildings are there in total?"

"Eight buildings were built before liberation, and after liberation, 6 buildings were expanded in different periods, with a total of 14 buildings. The nine buildings here are all residential buildings, and a total of 160 families can live in." Du Qiu pointed to the opposite Helian Pond and introduced: "The five buildings there are commercial buildings. They were rented out to open video halls and dance halls before. After I acquired them, I sent them all away and prepared to convert them into entertainment and leisure places such as cafes, restaurants, bookstores and bowling alleys. They will almost open in June next year."

"It sounds pretty good, living here is definitely more comfortable than the school allocated house."

At this time, a woman with short hair with ears in front turned her head and greeted: "Yuzi, what are you talking about with Du Qiu? Keep up quickly, Sister Bai said she was about to arrive at the model room."

"Here you come."

Du Qiu looked at his back, shook his head and smiled.

This person's name is Jiang You, and he is a friend of Qin Mu. He has outstanding talent and first-class abilities. Unfortunately, his personality is soft and he is a wife who is strict in charge. When Snapdragon was just established in March, Du Qiu wanted to open a high price to join him. He was very moved, but he was stopped by his wife Yu Shuqin and failed. Now this is his second attempt.

Jiang You quickly caught up with his wife and whispered: "Xiaoqin, I think the environment here is pretty good, what do you think?"

"You think it's good if you haven't even seen the model room?" Yu Shuqin glanced at him, then raised her voice and asked, "Sister Bai, are there kindergartens and primary schools nearby?"

"Not only has it, but it is also very good. The kindergarten is an experimental kindergarten in the agency directly under the Provincial General Office. The primary school is a key Hengshan Road Primary School in the province. Mr. Du's nephew will go to this primary school in the second half of next year."

"Is that true?" Yu Shuqin was surprised when she heard this, turned her head and asked, "Du Qiu, are you so rich, don't you send your nephew to study abroad?"

"I think the quality of basic education in China is quite good, not worse than that in foreign countries. Moreover, children are immature in nature. If they cannot adapt to the new environment after going abroad, they are prone to autism or extremeness, which will be detrimental to growth." Du Qiu and his mother were not superstitious about foreign education and said: "My sister is going to let her baby son finish college in China. Whether to study abroad after graduation is up to him."

There is a famous quote in "Three Character Classic" that "Mencius Mother chose neighbors in the past". Chinese people have always attached importance to education, especially the school environment and the quality of classmates. Seeing Du Qiu personally guaranteed that his nephew would grow up in China and was studying in a nearby elementary school, the family members of several talents have lit up their eyes and began to support their husbands or sons to change jobs and come to Snapdragon.

Yu Shuqin is no exception. She has a low education, but she is very smart. Because of Qin Mu, she knows more about Du Qiu than others. For example, he is a good teacher, attaches great importance to education, and loves his nephew very much. He has repeatedly said that he should be trained to become a successor. Based on this calculation, the teaching quality of this school must be very good, and it will get better and better in the future. If his children can go to this school in the future, they will definitely have a future than studying in the second-rate primary school in Beijing...

A few minutes later, when Yu Shuqin came to the dormitory model room, her balance became even more tilted, because the room was decorated very carefully, exquisitely and elegantly, and she was full of middle-class elite style. Furniture and electrical appliances were also imported high-end goods. Except for the small area, everything else was in line with her perfect residential image. When she was in it, she became an urban white-collar worker in European and American movies or Japanese TV series.

"Sister Bai, do you have these furniture and appliances when we moved in?"

"Yes, all the sets are complete, you can move in with your bag. If you don't like the furniture and appliances in the model room, you can also replace them with other products of the same grade." Bai Jie patted the leather sofa in the living room with her hand and said, "But tell me in advance, because all these furniture are imported and you need to book."

“How much does it cost to stay here for a month?”

"If you are willing to work at Snapdragon, you can live for two years without rent, and you only need to pay water, electricity and property fees every month." Du Qiu spoke at the right time when he saw this, and said with a smile: "With your Yuzi's ability, the annual salary will not be less than 200,000 yuan. In two years, you will be able to buy a big house of your own in any city in China, so there is no need for the company to worry about it."

Annual salary of at least 200,000...

Buy a house in two years...

As soon as these words were said, not only Yu Shuqin was moved, but the families of several other talents were also moved, because they all lived in simple dormitories assigned by universities or research institutes, and life was very inconvenient. Owning a big house of their own is the ultimate dream, but with the current salary level, if you don’t have a loan, you have to eat or drink for more than 30 years before you can buy a house of about 100 square meters in the suburbs of Beijing.

Even Professor Gao, who had always been absent-minded, couldn't resist it anymore and sighed: "Xiao Du, if you returned to China to establish Snapdragon 10 years ago, I would have switched jobs to work for you."

"I was only 12 years old 10 years ago. If Professor Gao came to work for me, I could only make a house made of mud for you at most."

"Then let it go, haha."

After visiting the two model houses, several talents and their families basically lost their ability to resist and began to plan their future life in Yuncheng through conversation. One of the aunts in their 50s asked: "I heard that Snapdragon is preparing to build a high-end residential community. Can you introduce it to us?"

"Okay." Bai Jie prepared very carefully, took out a Yuncheng tourist map, pointed to the location of the Botanical Garden and introduced: "Mr. Du invited several world-renowned architectural design firms from Japan to bid, preparing to build the best high-end community in China here..."

"It's too remote here, right?" The aunt interrupted her introduction and questioned: "It's more than ten kilometers away from the city center. I think it's better to put it here..."

"Auntie." Du Qiu interrupted her words as usual, and said lightly: "In Yuncheng, wherever I live, the city center is the center."
Chapter completed!
