I want to be a giant of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 499 [The Gate of the New World]

Time has entered the 70s, and Wu Guangyao knows that it is time for him to think about the future of Hong Kong Island!
In the previous life, Hong Kong was the first to become the Four Tigers, and its economy was in the 60s to 80s, a few blocks away from the other Three Tigers;
However, due to the inactivity of the Hong Kong Island government towards industry, Singapore, Taiwan, and South Korea came from behind and surpassed Hong Kong in terms of industry;

If the land area is used to shirk responsibility, then Singapore has taught Hong Kong a good lesson!
Hong Kong is 1100 square kilometers, while Singapore is only 720 square kilometers.

In the 21st century, the total economic volume is surpassed by South Korea and Taiwan, which is understandable, after all, these two places have 'big land and abundant resources';
However, the per capita GDP was surpassed by Singapore, which undoubtedly deserves the title of the first dragon.

Wu Guangyao naturally understood exactly where he lost;

Now that we understand it, we must change this situation;
As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, this is the truth!
In the previous life, finance, trade and logistics, professional services, and tourism were the four pillar industries of Hong Kong;

In this life, Wu Guangyao decided to add another pillar industry to Hong Kong, which 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, coupled with his foresight, he can always achieve certain results.

Time entered September, and 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 - the Shatin campus. Wu Guangyao is not only the founder of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, but also the largest benefactor of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and the permanent honorary chairman of the board 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 largest donors of the Chinese University of Hong Kong are non-governmental organizations and wealthy Chinese. Among them, Wu Guangyao donated tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, making the facilities of the Chinese University of Hong Kong comparable to that of 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 officially opened.

This is the first electronic engineering department in Hong Kong. For this department, Wu Guangyao traveled around and spent a lot of effort.

Wu Guangyao's motorcade arrived at the gate of the Chinese University of Hong Kong along a gentle slope;
At this time, Jian Yueqiang, the chairman of the school board, and Li Zhuomin, the principal, had already led a group of faculty and staff to wait at the school gate, which could be said to have given Wu Guangyao enough face.

Wu Guangyao got out of the car and said to everyone with a smile: "Everyone is pissing me off. I'm just a businessman, how can I bother you big scholars to wait!"

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

What Jian Yueqiang means is 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 Wu Guangyao will give what the Chinese University of Hong Kong lacks.

Well, without Wu Guangyao's efforts, today's Chinese University would certainly not be as strong as it is.

Wu Guangyao was modest, and said to Li Zhuomin: "President Li, the Electronic Engineering Department of the Chinese University of Hong Kong is not only a department I donated to, nor is it just a department that everyone thinks I am considering for my company. He is a hope that Hong Kong Island will have another economic and industrial pillar, and a hope that can increase the income of the citizens of Hong Kong Island!"

Li Zhuomin said seriously: "Mr. Wu's words are very reasonable. Those of us who are engaged in the education industry only focus on educating students; when it comes to the development of the general environment, we are not as far-sighted as you are; don't worry, the Department of Electronic Engineering will definitely not let you down expectations, and will strive to contribute to the diversification of Hong Kong’s economy.”

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

The people around, teachers and staff were taken aback. They didn't expect that this businessman could easily make a decision about the lifeblood of a country. One can imagine how far this businessman has grown!

How lucky is Hong Kong to have such a character?
Everyone exchanged greetings and walked towards the auditorium.

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

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

Wu Guangyao became famous very early, and became well-known in Hong Kong Island in the late 40s;

Therefore, these students who grew up on Hong Kong Island must have heard it from childhood.

Wu Guangyao smiled and waved;
I couldn't help saying to Jian Yueqiang, Li Zhuomin and others beside me: "The students are so enthusiastic!"

Jian Yueqiang said with a strong smile: "Enthusiasm is a matter of course. Chairman Wu is not only the founder of CUHK, but also a legend in Hong Kong Island; to attend the opening ceremony of the Department of Electronic Engineering of CUHK during his busy schedule, the students are naturally excited." With a heart of worship!"

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

Jian Yueqiang has been in politics for more than 20 years. He has experienced the three governors of Ge Lianghong, Bai Liji, Tai Linzhi, and has won many honors from the British court;

According to history, Jian Yueqiang will be knighted by the British royal family next year;
At the same time, after Governor MacLehose took office, Jian Yueqiang once again became a popular Hong Kong governor;
Moreover, the Jian family itself is a prominent family in Hong Kong and one of the founders of the Bank of East Asia.

With that said, Wu Guangyao, Jian Yueqiang, Li Zhuomin, and a group of professors from the Department of Electronic Engineering sat on the rostrum.

Principal Li Zhuomin presided over the opening ceremony, and after speaking a few words, he said: "I would like to invite Mr. Wu Guangyao, one of the founders of the Chinese University of Hong Kong and a world business giant, to give a speech to everyone. Welcome!"

"Papa, papa, papa" applause resounded across the sky, and the eyes of the students revealed admiration.

Wu Guangyao got up and nodded politely to his classmates and teachers.

"Hello students and teachers! I gave a speech at Harvard, and I didn't feel how great I was at the time; but today I suddenly feel that I am so great, I can give a speech in front of you, and give you a speech on the topic of electronic engineering. "

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

"The first scientific and technological revolution of mankind was the steam revolution, which used steam engines to replace manual factories and liberated the labor force"

"The second scientific and technological revolution of mankind is the electrical revolution. The emergence of steam engines and electricity led to the appearance of products such as airplanes, automobiles, and electric lights, which completely changed human life."

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

Before the speech was over, the students couldn't help applauding to express their feelings at this time;

Wu Guangyao gave a completely unscripted speech, the students listened mesmerized, and even a group of foreign professors listened mesmerized under the translation;
These foreign professors felt that Wu Guangyao, a businessman, was too deep and unfathomable!
Wu Guangyao motioned for the applause to stop, and immediately became quiet again;
"To tell the truth from my classmates, I am still an investor in integrated circuit patents. The R&D team of integrated circuits has officially relied on my funds to achieve success. The use of integrated circuits by my subsidiary Lenovo Group does not need to spend a penny of patent fees."

Immediately, the students looked at Wu Guangyao in disbelief;

It's incredible that such a great invention is actually a project invested by this person!
Wu Guangyao briefly explained how he invested in the "Eight Rebels" in Silicon Valley, and everyone finally believed it.

After everyone calmed down, Wu Guangyao then started his speech:

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

"Coaxing" all the teenagers under the rostrum made voices in disbelief.

Wu Guangyao signaled everyone to be safe and calm, took out a calculator from his body, and showed it to everyone: "This is a calculator produced by Lenovo Group this year. It can do addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and its calculation ability is higher than that of humans. Countless times."

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

"This is just the beginning of the electronic information revolution. In the future, we can have a mobile phone (note: the term mobile phone existed in the 30s, and Motorola is already developing it); what is a mobile phone, let me tell you."

"In the future, computers will be popularized in ordinary people's homes."

"In the future, robots can replace humans"

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

Wu Guangyao's words opened a door to a new world for his classmates and teachers.

"Think!" The voice spread over the entire campus, and then everyone's thunderous applause lasted 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.

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

"meeting!"

"meeting!"

This is what I want!

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