<h4>Chapter 1488: Chapter 1331: The Start of the Melee (Subscribe please!)</h4><h4></h4>


    December 21st.


    Saturday.


    New District.


    Jinke Road.


    "Chairman, from here starts, following the tributary of Chuanyang River to the other side then returning to the mainstream, all is our developmentnd for the Smart Space Industrial Park. In the middle of the park, lies Jinke Road..."


    On the roadside.


    Luo Qiang excitedly introduces the eight hundred acres ofnd granted to Qingyuan Technology by Shanghai, the area is very clearly defined, directly bounded by the river, the whole park is surrounded by Chuanyang River.


    Big.


    It’s really big.


    Eight hundred acres.


    An acre is six hundred sixty-six square meters, which means that Shanghai has made a huge determination to resolve such arge piece ofnd in Zhangjiang, totaling more than five hundred thousand square meters.


    Of course.


    The price is also quite expensive.


    This is not Qingyan City.


    This is Shanghai.


    For such arge area,nd acquisition is no small project, this was originallynd for the expansion of the New District, meaning it hadn’t been acquired here yet, but as long as there is money, it is not a problem.


    "Land acquisition,pensation, and construction costs will be close to ten billion RMB. However, the good thing here is that we don’s have to worry about thend acquisition, the district will handle it."


    Luo Qiang looks relieved.


    Because it had already been designated to be part of Zhangjiang Technology Park.


    Theoretically.


    It does not belong to suddennd upancy, for over a decade people here were always ready to be relocated. Unfortunately, it hasn’t expanded to this side for many years, nor are there any ns for recent development.


    It made many people anxious.


    Here it goes.


    Once the park announcement is out.


    There’s a burst of jubtion.


    It’s been over a decade; it hasn’t been easy.


    "Very good."


    Tang Qing nods satisfied.


    The area isrge, the environment good, conveniently located, and the industrial supporting facilities are also veryprehensive. In his past life, he wandered here just to see the hustle; he remembered thend on the west side was taken down by an international pharmaceutical giant.


    And just across a street.


    Is the future location of Shanghai University of Science and Technology.


    The sincerity of Shanghai.


    Is substantial.


    At this moment.


    This side is still all civil residences and fields.


    "Mr. Luo, this project is the future of thepany, keep a close eye on it, build up the park at the fastest speed, I hope, at this time next year, I can see it rise from the ground."


    "By then, let Qingyuan Technology’s headquarters move over too."


    One year.


    Tang Qing believes it is enough.


    He is not nning to build skyscrapers inside, all the buildings are his own designs, only a few exceed ten stories, the others are around seven stories, just significantlyrger in size.


    This time.


    Will be different from other headquarters buildings.


    These buildings mainly use steel structure,pared to concrete buildings, steel structure has a huge advantage, which is time-saving, welding the members together quickly forms the structure.


    Moreover.


    Steel structure has another benefit.


    That is its strong sticity.


    This park, bearing the term ’Smart’, will definitely make extensive use of thetest technology,pared to recing and installing which requires breaking concrete and brick walls, the advantage of steel structure is clear.


    Open up the wall panel.


    Rece it.


    That’s enough.


    Of course.


    For safety.


    The load-bearing structure is still better using reinforced concrete, because usual changes in lines and equipment primarily involve walls and floors, this way, both safety and convenience are ensured.


    "Yes, Chairman," Luo Qiang nodded. Since the headquarters is not far away, both located in Pudong New District, there’s no issue with relocating headquarters to upset anyone, the original headquarters was indeed a bit outdated.


    ording to Tang Qing’s insistence on the minimum office area per employee.


    It’s almost hard to fit everyone.


    After watching for a while.


    Tang Qing left.


    This area’s demolition work, to be fullypleted before the Chinese New Year is impossible, there are still less than two months to the New Year, even though, they will wait to finish celebrating the year before starting the relocation.


    However.


    Some things can be done in advance.


    For example.


    The steel structure design alreadypleted, let the factory start production, by the time construction begins, directly transport it for welding and instation; this work had already started sincest week.


    Steel structure.


    No need to find others.


    Chai Ren does just that.


    Apart from ore mining, the steel mill and downstream steel structure factory are Chai Family’s main business, not letting benefits slip to others, Chai Ren happily took on this project.


    However.


    Tang Qing did not use the steel provided by Chai Ren.


    But created his own form.


    Then.


    After giving the steel material form data to Chai Ren, Chai Ren immediately called to ask, this superior performance, is at least fifty percent higher than the existing data ofmonly used steel structures in various aspects.


    Material path.


    Vast as smoke.


    Finding a high-quality, easily mass-produceable low-cost metal material.


    The difficulty.


    Is almost like relying on luck.


    In the end.


    It naturally fell to Tang Qing, and once Chai Ren heard who owned it, he immediately dismissed the idea of using it for free; it was produced by Tang Qing’s friend’s metal research institute, who is also his most reliable partner.


    He wouldn’t dare harbor any crooked thoughts.


    Following that.


    He contacted them, obtained the usage rights, and as for the licensing fee, it was merely set at ten million USD, a very low price, authorized for ten years, deducted from this year’s dividends from the African United Mining.


    Chai Ren happily epted.


    Such a bargain.


    Definitely a steal.


    Besides steel construction, various prefabricatedponents have also been ordered; when the timees, transport everything to one location, assemble floor tiles, wall panels, pipes, wiring, decorations, renovations...


    Transport to the construction site.


    Weld together.


    A floor that doesn’t need renovation is already good, just need to move furniture in, and furthermore, there’s no need to move furniture; as soon as one floor is built, furniture is hoisted directly up, then the next floor is built.


    One floor a day.


    It’s not difficult.


    In a year.


    Tang Qing felt it was even slow.


    ...


    After leaving.


    He arrived at the current headquarters of Qingyuan Technology.


    He reviewed a few projects.


    "Epoch Generation II."


    Dozens of ns.


    Tang Qing was not very satisfied because the changes weren’t significant; back then, Apple started with the generation four, and subsequent models had almost leapfrog advancements, gradually moving to the era ofrge screens.


    However.


    ’Epoch’ started off with arge screen.


    The operating system, APPs, various user-friendly designs, it can be said that Tang Qing introduced many advanced features from the beginning, making ’Epoch’ Generation I’s starting point too high.


    Thus.


    The next generation bes a problem.


    Starting the sprint too strongly with not enough endurance at the end, but Tang Qing would not admit he did anything wrong. Too big a step to walk? Then what’s the point of having thispany?


    "The performance of the Epoch Generation I is already close to the current limits of software and hardware, its appearance will not be outdated for years, and the Generation II will still focus on innovation as a breakthrough, umting technology."


    Since Generation I is pretty good.


    Then why rush tounch Generation II.


    "Yes, Chairman." Luo Qiang nodded, there was no other way; Epoch’s starting point was too high, hastilyunching a so-called Generation II without much improvement would definitely invite scorn from peers.


    Nowadays.


    The mobile phone industry.


    Is fraught with raging battles.


    In October, variousmunication giants released their smartphones, followed by ERV jumping out and gaining a surge of fans, and then Huawei alsounched its low-end smartphone.


    These two months.


    Arge number ofpanies both domestic and international have announced their entry into the smartphone arena.


    Suddenly.


    It seems as if anyone can make a smartphone, but in fact, it was Qingyuan Technology that set a ’bad example’ by relying on hardware and software integration, almost creating a business miracle.


    Others saw this.


    This works?


    Then I can do it too.


    So.


    It evolved into this situation, which is also why Luo Qiang was somewhat in a hurry regarding the breakthrough for the second generation, with so many contenders; you never know whichpany could suddenly rise and catch him off guard.


    In such a situation.


    Tang Qing was quite calm.


    About this.


    Of course, Tang Qing was calm, although his memory only went up to 2017, by then the breakthroughs in the mobile phone industry were not much stronger than the current Epoch, perhaps just having richer varieties of apps.


    However.


    He is not alone.


    He has the system.


    He is not worried that someone could topple hispany or that he would fall behind anyone; even if he did, it was either because he let them or he had other ns, why rush himself?


    Nowadays.


    In the mobile phone sector, ERV, Qingyuan Technology, Zhihua, and thepany in Europe that has also announced the uing release of smartphones, the fourpanies are all in position.


    High, medium, low.


    Europe, America, Asia.


    Layoutpleted.


    Next.


    The ’free-for-all’ led by these fourpanies will soon begin, necessarily through two to three years of time, pushing all others to the margins, forming a ’four pirs’ situation.


    Of course.


    Four pirs.


    Does not mean there are only four mobile phone brands globally.


    That is impossible.


    But these fourpanies, at least dividing over sixty percent of the global smartphone market, and their ’partners,’ that is,panies they have invested in, should also upy at least twenty percent of the market.


    And the remaining twenty percent.


    Is where other peers are left ’gasping.’
