Chapter 499【Gateway to the New World】

Time has entered the 70s, Wu Guangyao knew that he should consider the future of Hong Kong Island!

In the past life, Hong Kong became the first four little dragons, and the economy left the other three little dragons a few streets from the 1960s to the 1980s;

But later, because the Hong Kong Island government was not active in industry, Singapore, Taiwan, and South Korea came from behind, surpassing Hong Kong in industry;

If shirking responsibility by land area, then Singapore has taught Hong Kong a good lesson!

Hong Kong is 1,100 square kilometers, while Singapore is only 720 square kilometers.

In the 21st century, the total economic output has been surpassed by South Korea and Taiwan. This is understandable. After all, these two places have a vast land and resources;

However, the per capita GDP is surpassed by Singapore, which is undoubtedly a shame for the title of the first dragon.

Where did he lose, Wu Guangyao naturally understood very well;

Since I understand, it is necessary to change this situation;

It is the truth that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!

In previous lives, finance, trade and logistics, professional services, and tourism are the four pillar industries of Hong Kong;

In this life, Wu Guangyao decided to add another pillar industry to Hong Kong, that is, the electronics industry;

There is no need to catch up with the United States and Japan, but at least it must be similar to Singapore and South Korea;

Although South Korea has the support of the United States, doesn’t Hong Kong also have the support of Wu Guangyao?

Wu Guangyao owns the giant Lenovo Group, and coupled with his foresight, he can always achieve certain results.

In September, schools on Hong Kong Island began to welcome the return of students;

Wu Guangyao also came to the new campus of the Chinese University of Hong Kong—Shatin campus. Wu Guangyao is not only the founder of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, but also the largest donor of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and he is also the permanent honorary chairman of the board of directors of the Chinese University of Hong Kong;

Unlike the University of Hong Kong, the University of Hong Kong is taught in English, so it has received a lot of funding from the Hong Kong government;

The biggest donors of the Chinese University of Hong Kong are private organizations and wealthy Chinese. Among them, Wu Guangyao has donated tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, making the facilities of the Chinese University of Hong Kong comparable to the University of Hong Kong!

This time Wu Guangyao came to the Chinese University of Hong Kong, which is of great significance, because the Department of Electronic Engineering of the Chinese University of Hong Kong has officially opened.

This is the first electronic engineering department in Hong Kong. For this department, Wu Guangyao ran around and took some effort.

Wu Guangyao’s motorcade followed a gentle **** and came to the gate of the Chinese University of Hong Kong;

At this time, the chairman of the school board Jian Yueqiang and the principal Li Zhuomin have led a group of faculty and staff to wait at the school gate, which can be said to have given Wu Guangyao enough face.

Wu Guangyao got out of the car and smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone has broken me down, how can I bother you big scholars waiting for a business flow!"

Jian Yueqiang said: "Chairman Wu is humble. Without you, there is the Chinese University of Hong Kong today! As the saying goes, the predecessors planted trees and the descendants took advantage of the coolness. We are just taking the coolness of Chairman Wu!"

Jian Yueqiang means that Wu Guangyao began to assist New Asia students (one of the predecessors of the Chinese University) in 1949. Over the years, it can be said that what the Chinese University of Hong Kong lacks, Wu Guangyao gave.

So without Wu Guangyao's efforts, the Chinese University of today is certainly not so capable.

Wu Guangyao was humble and said to Li Zhuomin: "President Li, the Department of Electronic Engineering of the Chinese University of Hong Kong is not only the department I donated, and it is not only the department that everyone thinks I am creating for my business. Yes, he is a hope to give Hong Kong Island one more economic and industrial pillar, and a hope to increase the income of Hong Kong people!"

Li Zhuomin said earnestly: "Mr. Wu said it is very reasonable. As those who are engaged in education, we only educate students. For the development of the environment, we do not have such a foresight as you. You can rest assured that the Department of Electronic Engineering will not let you down. Hope that we must work hard to contribute to the diversification of Hong Kong’s economy"

Wu Guangyao said: "It's not that I am far-sighted. The electronics industries in Europe, America and Japan are already very developed, and Hong Kong does not even have a science college; so I want to slowly change this situation. The establishment of the Department of Electronic Engineering is the first one. Steps. You should understand that Lenovo Group is the painstaking effort of my founding. If Hong Kong has talents, I will be able to transfer many of Lenovo Group’s businesses to Hong Kong. At that time, Hong Kong’s electronics industry will no longer be a poor one, but Standing on the shoulders of giants."

The surrounding faculty and staff were shocked. They did not expect that it would be related to the lifeblood of a country. This businessman could easily make the decision. One can imagine how far this person has grown!

How lucky is Hong Kong to have such a character?

Everyone chatted and walked towards the auditorium.

Seeing Wu Guangyao walking into the auditorium, 200 freshmen from the Department of Electronic Engineering in three classes stood up involuntarily, applauded and welcomed.

It may not be because Wu Guangyao donated this department. It should be the new generation of Hong Kong Islanders who grew up listening to Wu Guangyao’s legend.

Wu Guangyao became famous very early, and he became famous on Hong Kong Island in the late 1940s;

So, these students who grew up on Hong Kong Island must have heard of them since they were young.

Wu Guangyao smiled and waved.

couldn’t help but say to Jian Yueqiang, Li Zhuomin and others next to him: “The students are so enthusiastic!”

Jian Yueqiang smiled and said: "Enthusiasm is a matter of course. Chairman Wu is not only the founder of Chinese University, but also a legend on Hong Kong Island. If you can come to attend the opening ceremony of the Department of Electronic Engineering of CUHK during your busy schedule, the students are naturally With a heart of worship!"

"Haha, Chairman Jian is humble, and your achievements are not low!" Wu Guangyao also responded.

Jian Yueqiang has been in politics for more than 20 years, has experienced Ge Lianghong, Bai Liji, Dai Linzhi, 3 Hong Kong Governors, and has been awarded the British Court several times;

According to history, Jian Yueqiang will be knighted by the British royal family next year;

At the same time, after Governor McLehau took office, Jian Yueqiang once again became the Hong Kong Governor’s celebrity;

And the Jian family itself is a prominent family in Hong Kong, and one of the founders of the Bank of East Asia.

Speaking, Wu Guangyao, Jian Yueqiang, Li Zhuomin, and many professors of the Department of Electronic Engineering sat on the rostrum.

President Li Zhuomin, who presided over the opening ceremony, said briefly after a few words, and then said: “Next, I invite Mr. Wu Guangyao, one of the founders of the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the world's business tycoon, to give a speech to everyone. Welcome!”

"Papa Papa Papa Papa" applause resounded across the sky, and the expression in the classmates' eyes revealed worship.

Wu Guangyao got up and politely nodded to the students and teachers.

"Hello classmates and teachers! I gave a lecture at Harvard. At that time, I didn't feel how amazing I was; but today I suddenly felt that I was amazing. I can give a lecture in front of you and give you a lecture on electronic engineering. "

"Mankind is experiencing the third technological revolution, which is the electronic information revolution."

"The first scientific and technological revolution of mankind was the steam revolution. The use of steam engines instead of manual factories and liberated labor"

"The second scientific and technological revolution of mankind is the electrical revolution. The emergence of steam engines and electricity promoted the emergence of airplanes, automobiles, electric lights and other products, which completely changed the lives of human beings."

"Humanity is experiencing the third revolution, the electronic information revolution; transistors, integrated circuits, and computers are all signs of this revolution."

Before the speech was over, the students could not help but applaud to express their feelings at this time;

Wu Guangyao's speech was completely out of manuscript. The students were fascinated by it, and even a group of foreign professors were also listening fascinated by the translation;

These foreign professors felt that Wu Guangyao, a businessman, was too unfathomable!

Wu Guangyao signaled the applause to stop, and immediately returned to silence again;

"My classmates said that I am still an investor in integrated circuit patents. The integrated circuit research and development team has officially relied on my funds to achieve success. My subsidiary Lenovo Group does not need to spend a cent in patent fees for using integrated circuits."

Suddenly, the classmates looked at Wu Guangyao incredulously;

Such a great invention is actually the investment project of this investment, which is incredible!

Wu Guangyao briefly explained the experience of his own investment in Silicon Valley’s "Eight Rebellions", and everyone finally believed it.

After everyone calmed down, Wu Guangyao went on to give a speech:

"The future development of the electronic information revolution, I have a bold prediction, that is to replace the human brain!"

"Hoohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)

Wu Guangyao signaled everyone to stay calm, took out a calculator from his body, and showed everyone: "This is a calculator produced by Lenovo Group this year. It can do addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It has a higher computing power than humans. Countless times."

Wu Guangyao gave a demonstration to everyone and shocked these seventeen-year-old boys and girls.

"This is only the preliminary electronic information revolution. In the future, we can have a mobile phone (Note: The term mobile phone was in the 1930s, and Motorola is already developing it); what is a mobile phone, let me tell everyone."

"In the future, computers will spread to ordinary people's homes."

"In the future, robots can replace humans"

"So, students, don't you want to join this interesting and challenging revolution?"

Wu Guangyao's words open a new world to classmates and teachers.

"Yes!" The voice spread over the entire campus, and everyone's thunderous applause continued for a long time.

After the speech, everyone could not calm down their excitement. Even the professors were immersed in the blueprint drawn by Wu Guangyao.

For a long time, Principal Li Zhuomin took the microphone and said: "A door to a new world has been opened to us. Then students will study hard and lay a solid foundation for themselves, so that we are qualified to step into this door. You will work hard. Study?"

"Can!"

"Can!"

I want this effect!

Next, the rest of the speeches were quite satisfactory, but the students still listened very carefully!
