Chapter 664

    University of Oxford did not make a big effort to make University of Cambridge happy. Before it was worried about who has the final say in technology towns, now this worry is totally unnecessary. Britain is very different from the United States. There are many well-known and powerful enterprises in the United States. Colleges and universities cannot dominate such major projects. There are no so strong enterprises in the UK, at least no enterprises that can convince the public; This makes it inevitable that colleges and universities will occupy a dominant position in science and technology towns.


    The best universities in Britain are Oxford and Cambridge, and now Oxford has offered to give in. Cambridge will certainly have more voice. It is more appropriate for the British technology town to be named Cambridge town. This is the real idea of the leaders of Cambridge University.


    The British have one thing better, that is, they know their own strength. Only one science and technology town is planned to be built, and even if there are more funds, there are not so many enterprises and universities settled; However, there are contradictions in the site selection.


    Britain, the full name of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, is located in the British Isles in the northwest of the European continent, surrounded by the North Sea, the English channel, the Celtic Sea, the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.


    Britain is a Western European island country composed of England, Wales and Scotland on the island of Great Britain, Northern Ireland in the northeast of the island of Ireland and a series of affiliated islands.


    The establishment of a technology town can promote the local economic and technological development to a certain extent. The best choice is to build it in England. It is more trustworthy than Scotland and Northern Ireland, which are often independent. Although Wales is more obedient, the land face is too small, and the geographical location is not very suitable.


    Construction in England soon reached a consensus on how to say that the British Empire really held power or the English. The most ideal choice is London, but there is no redundant land planning in London, so it is impossible to build a technology town in the city of London.


    The British have done a good job in protecting private property. Dozens of legal provisions emphasize the issue of private property. Now it seems that only Liverpool or Manchester can be chosen as the technological town.


    But this will provoke another contradiction, that is, the contradiction between the two cities. Moreover, it is still a contradiction between several worlds. These two waiting cities will not give in. After all, no one can afford to lose.


    Liverpool reached the peak of urban development in the 18th century: it was the second largest city in Britain after London. Relying on the disgraceful slave trade, it became the second largest port in Europe (the first is Amsterdam). The first dock in Britain was born here. In the early 19th century, 40% of world trade was completed through Liverpool dock.


    Albert port was an important port of Liverpool at that time. Before and after the British Industrial Revolution, trade and slave trade around the world were closely related to this port.


    However, with the arrival of the industrial revolution, Liverpool, which adheres to the traditional trade, has lost its team. However, Manchester, which is only 40 kilometers away from Liverpool, has become the new industrial center of Britain relying on the textile industry represented by "Jeanne machine".


    As Liverpool is a big raw material export city, many industries in Manchester have to rely on the transmission of the Mersey River.


    At the end of the nineteenth Century, the Manchester Canal opened, extending 58 km from East Harlem to Manchester, perfectly bypassing the Liverpool pier.


    Liverpool people feel that their dignity has been violated. They attack Manchester people with ridicule and say that they only know manufacturing "blue collar". Manchester people use the term "Scousers" to define Liverpool people, ironic Liverpool people to eat "Scouse" (fried beef), the whole city''s temperament is vulgar.


    The struggle between the two cities in the process of historical development has created the best script of a tale of two cities in history: The Curse war triggered by a canal.


    In the 20th century, the contradiction between the two cities was exacerbated by football. Now, suddenly, the location of the technology town is added, which gives British executives a headache.


    The two candidate cities suddenly disrupted the British plan to locate a high-level technology town. It can be said that the two cities do not give in to each other. Moreover, the two cities have similar votes and their own strength; Finally, there is no way but to retreat to the second place and establish science and technology towns in the two cities respectively.


    Just managed to quell the contradiction, but this is by no means what the British high-level wants to see. But things have become a foregone conclusion, and no one can change them.


    After the United States and the Soviet Union announced the establishment of technology towns, the British also announced the establishment of two technology towns in Liverpool and Manchester.


    Seeing this situation, of course, other countries cannot lag behind. The French have inherent romance. Now Britain has built two technology towns at once, and the French feel that their strength is no weaker than that of the British. Therefore, a resolution was soon passed to build two technology towns in the suburbs of Marseille and Paris. In this era, the French can really be proud of the British.


    Different from the inaction during World War II, France withdrew directly from NATO during Charles de Gaulle''s administration. All domestic weapons and equipment are basically self-produced, which makes there are many high-tech and military enterprises in China. The French may have the strength to set up a technology town alone, and they are very reluctant. Now we have established two at once, which is difficult to develop, and the outcome is doomed.


    The Germans are very pragmatic in this regard and know their own strength and weaknesses. So they set up a technology town in Ruhr district, and they still brought Switzerland together.


    The industry in Ruhr district was the material basis for Germany to launch the two world wars. After the war, it played an important role in the economic recovery and economic take-off of West Germany, and the industrial output value once accounted for 40% of the country. It still plays an important role in the German economy. The prominent feature of Ruhr Industrial Zone is that with the comprehensive utilization of coal, coking, electric power, coal chemistry and other industries have been vigorously developed, which has promoted the development of iron and steel and chemical industries, and established and developed the machinery manufacturing industry on the basis of a large number of iron and steel, chemical products and sufficient power supply,


    The Germans just want to add some modern industries on the original basis, but also want to strengthen in the field of CNC machine tools and mechanical instruments. This is one of the reasons why Switzerland is involved. The potential and strength of the outbreak of the two countries together cannot be underestimated.


    Seeing the German practice, baozixuan knew that this was the strong enemy. The Germans are too pragmatic to be blinded by economic development and domestic technological foundation. It is a terrible opponent. Now it seems that we can only think of something in East Germany.


    The reunification of Germany and Germany is the general trend, and no one can stop it. But if the layout in East Germany is successful, the development of Germany will certainly not be so smooth. It seems that we should make preparations in advance.


    After France and Germany announced the establishment of science and technology towns, the Japanese also announced the construction of a science and technology town in Fukushima and Dabang. Japanese enterprises are not satisfied with anyone, and in the end they can only retreat to the second place. And at this time, the domestic real estate market is normalizing. In Japan, where the land area is very small, it is difficult to separate too much land from a city.


    After the Japanese announced the construction of science and technology towns, other countries in the world also announced their own plans for science and technology towns.


    Of course, these are mainly western developed countries. Countries and regions with poor science and technology do not have such confidence and strength.


    Huaxia has also discussed the issue of science and Technology Town, but there is no foundation for building science and technology town in China. The reform and opening up has just improved, and the economic situation and scientific and technological strength do not have the conditions to establish a science and technology town.


    However, the Arabs are very thoughtful, especially when Israel announced the establishment of a technology town in Tel Aviv. It also greatly hurt the nerves of Arabs, so Saudi Arabia decided to build a science and Technology Town Based on the technology of ground effect aircraft factory.


    The rich Saudi Arabia announced that as long as there are high-tech enterprises willing to come, any conditions can be discussed. Let alone say that it has really worked. Many Western businesses see Saudi Arabia so awesome, and want to come and take advantage of it.


    Some enterprises with technology have really developed with the support of huge funds in Saudi Arabia. Of course, more enterprises come to cheat money. At this time, Saudi Arabia did not care so much. As long as there were enterprises, it must not be compared by Jews.


    Because of the publicity of baozixuan, Israel has gained a lot of chip enterprises in the world. Jewish capital has absolutely nothing to say about the economic control of many enterprises. It is more appropriate to establish a chip production and R & D base than to establish a technology town in Tel Aviv, because most internal enterprises are engaged in chip production and R & D.
