The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 286, Even a hero can be brought down by a penny.
In July 1985, in Shamian, Guangzhou, the air conditioner was still making a slight noise outside a private room in a restaurant.

When Wang Duoyu proposed the idea of ​​a small commodity wholesale industry, he even gave examples of how to promote sales and earn foreign exchange through exports. It was as if he was feeding Yuan Youlan and the others.

To be honest, this suggestion is spot on.

And it is also very suitable for Guangzhou at present.

Even though this development model is easy to copy and paste, if done well, it can be very profitable.

Yuan Youlan hoped that Wang Duoyu could invest in building a factory, since this development model was very profitable.

"I don't care about that kind of money, because it takes a lot of time and energy, but the Want Want Group is something I could work on."

Wang Duoyu said with a smile.

Without Want Want Group setting an example, it would have been difficult for Yuan Youlan and his team to achieve such industrial development.

Thank you, Professor Wang.

"Hehe, there's nothing to thank me for. If Guangzhou can develop better and faster, it's also a good thing for me. As long as Want Want Group can make money, then I will have more research and development funds. It's just a win-win situation!"

Speaking from a business perspective, Wang Duoyu wasn't afraid to say anything; at this point in time, economic development was the top priority.

Everything revolves around economic development, and isn't the purpose of developing the economy simply to make money?

But Wang Duoyu had more ideas, and naturally he wouldn't be limited to just these. He didn't have a "cleanliness obsession" with making money. As long as he could make money legally and reasonably to raise more research and development funds for him, that would be enough.

With the small commodity wholesale market about to be established, Guangzhou's economic development is likely to accelerate even further.

"By the way, Mayor Yuan, if you have time, you could visit Hong Kong Island and see how their economy is developing. Perhaps you can find some inspiration there."

Today, Hong Kong Island has earned the title of "Hollywood of the East," and its films and television dramas have gradually gained considerable fame throughout Asia.

However, Wang Duoyu is not really suited to go to Hong Kong Island; otherwise, it would be worth making arrangements for him.

Of course, let's leave the Want Want Group out of it; there's no need for them to get involved in this mess.

Earning US dollars is more suitable for the development of Want Want Group, since US dollars and Japanese yen are easier to earn.

Wang Duoyu and his friends ate until about 10 p.m. tonight, and everyone was very happy.

Liu Xiaoli and the others had already gone back to the White Swan Hotel to sleep, while Wang Duoyu returned a little later.

The very next day, little Wang Junhong started coughing; it wasn't a cold, but rather he had a fever.

The heat and humidity in Guangzhou are not just due to the weather; many of the ingredients are also different from those in Harbin. So, after a few days of this, it's easy to get a sore throat or other heat-related symptoms.

For example, lychees!

Even though Wang Duoyu and Liu Xiaoli limited the two little ones to not eat so much, they ate two extra yesterday, and they started getting heaty today.

Let's have some herbal tea!

In the streets and alleys of Guangzhou, herbal tea shops are relatively easy to find.

"Dad, why isn't the herbal tea cold?"

After buying several bottles of herbal tea from the herbal tea shop, Wang Junhong asked a question out of curiosity.

The herbal tea in front of me isn't actually cold; it's slightly warm, but it's summer now.

Why isn't it cold?

Because once herbal tea cools down, it tastes worse and the aroma gradually dissipates. Besides, who knows how long it's been sitting out or if it's gone bad?

Keep in mind that this is Guangzhou, where daytime temperatures are around 30 degrees Celsius, and it gets even hotter when the sun is shining directly in the afternoon, around 3 or 4 pm.

Under such circumstances, no one knows whether the herbal tea has spoiled.

The original purpose of drinking herbal tea was to reduce internal heat. What if you end up with a stomachache after drinking it? Wouldn't that be even worse?
"The warm herbal tea tastes good, and it's not too hot to drink, so it's fine."

Wang Duoyu took a small sip to make sure the herbal tea wasn't too hot before handing it to the little guy.

However, Wang Junhong only took a small sip and then spat it out because it was too bitter.

The little guy's face instantly wore a mask of pain.

"Dad, it's too bitter, it doesn't taste good!"

Liu Xiaoli immediately laughed, while the little guy Wang Jun'an frowned and dared not drink anymore.

"It tastes pretty good, and it smells quite nice." Wang Duoyu didn't find it bitter because he was used to drinking it in his previous life.

There is a Cantonese mother-in-law who has a habit of drinking soup and herbal tea. Whenever a family member shows even the slightest sign of getting a sore throat or fever, the mother-in-law will immediately take out the herbal tea sent from Guangzhou and start brewing it.

There are many kinds of herbal tea in Guangdong, and the herbal teas in different places are different. Of course, they are not the overly sweet sugar waters like Wanglaoji, Jiaduobao, and Heqizheng. Real herbal tea is bitter.

At most, you'd buy a cup of herbal tea, and the shopkeeper would give you a small bag containing a few pieces of dried tangerine peel, or a piece of candy.

But Wang Duoyu always drank it at home in his previous life because it was hard to find authentic herbal tea shops in the capital, and his mother-in-law wouldn't provide sugar or dried tangerine peel if he drank herbal tea at home.

Herbal tea brands like Wanglaoji add large amounts of cheap industrial syrups like white sugar or glucose syrup, then dilute it with water. Paying for this stuff is just a waste of money.

Moreover, it is harmful to the body.

Of course, every medicine has its side effects. Although herbal tea is not a medicine, it is still toxic. However, it is unknown how many tons of this toxicity would be needed to cause an accident to the human body.

Is it really delicious?

Upon hearing this, Wang Junhong, still somewhat skeptical, took another small lick to confirm the taste; indeed, it was bitter.

He was very disgusted and even wanted to pour out the herbal tea, but Wang Duoyu forced the little guy to drink it.

You need to drink this if you have a sore throat. It's their fault for being greedy and eating two extra lychees yesterday.
The saying "one lychee is like three fires" is really a joke.
The two brothers were very unwilling, but with Wang Duoyu's dark expression, they had no choice but to hold their noses and drink it.

Otherwise, they'll give you an injection, an injection in your buttocks.

Compared to these, they would still prefer to drink herbal tea.

Although Liu Xiaoli wasn't used to drinking herbal tea, she drank it to go along with Wang Duoyu.

However, after Liu Xiaoli took the first sip, she quickly spat it out.

"No, no, I can't drink it, I feel nauseous."

Seeing her with a pained expression, Wang Duoyu had no choice but to let her not drink it.

Seeing this, the Wang brothers, Junhong and Duoyu, didn't want to drink either. But Wang Duoyu said, "Your mother didn't eat more lychees, so she's not feeling unwell and it's fine for her not to drink. But you two can't. If you don't drink, I'll take you to the hospital right now and get you injections."

Let's drink!
The two children were immediately filled with fear, looking as if they were ready to die. They continued to pinch their noses and then finished the last half of the cup.

"Now that you've finished drinking it, do you no longer find it bitter?"

Hearing their father's words, the two children shook their heads, indicating that their mouths still tasted a little bitter.

How could herbal tea not be bitter?
But no matter how bitter they are, as long as they finish drinking it, that's fine.

For the next few days, Wang Duoyu continued to stay in Guangzhou, and it was already the end of July, almost August.

Following Wang Duoyu's orders, Want Want Group quickly sent people south to Guangzhou to prepare for the relocation of Facebook and the establishment of Walsin Technology.

With the Want Want Group now having more and more subsidiaries, Wang Duoyu felt it was time to establish a think tank.

This so-called think tank was not there to advise Wang Duoyu, but rather to help him carry out his orders.

The company includes Babus Factory, Yuma Garment Factory, Red Star Steel Plant, Pandora, Leap, Muscle Shark, Sibel, Walsin Technology, Maple Leaf Holdings, Facebook, and several large laboratories.

It can be said that Want Want Group is now a huge multinational corporation, but its turnover is still not very good.

Near Liede Village, Wang Duoyu and Yuan Youlan came here for a stroll, or you could say an inspection.

To help Guangzhou establish a small commodity wholesale market, Wang Duoyu had Want Want Group set up a Magic Toys factory.

Similarly, this factory is also located near Huaxin Technology.

It can be said that Wang Duoyu has contracted all the land near Zhujiang New Town in the original timeline.

Although occupying this place may not be useful, Wang Duoyu will definitely suggest that Guangzhou develop the Zhujiang New Town project in the future. At that time, Want Want Group will build several high-rise buildings here and make this place a new business center of Guangzhou.

These are all things for the future. Right now, the most important thing is to finalize the office locations for the three companies—Morton Toys Factory, Walsin Technology, and Facebook—as soon as possible, and then start construction.

Want Want Group has money, so once they acquire land, they can quickly finalize the deal.

"Thank you, Professor Wang, you've really helped me a lot."

"It's mutually beneficial; I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

Wang Duoyu smiled and shook hands with Yuan Youlan. After signing the contract, he felt relieved.

Before he could receive a call from Harbin, Jiao Zhenyu from Shangri-La called him again, repeatedly inviting him to "inspect" Shangri-La.

Since he couldn't refuse such hospitality, Wang Duoyu didn't stay in Guangzhou any longer, but instead boarded a plane to prepare for his journey to Shangri-La.

Right after he hung up the phone with Jiao Zhenyu, Liu Deben called.

"Duoyu, I have good news for you. I don't need to get a promotion, haha!"

"Secretary, you didn't get a promotion, what kind of good news is that?"

"Of course it's good news! Harbin Institute of Technology will be upgraded in the next two years or so. I can't explain the specifics over the phone right now, let's talk about it in detail when you get back. Anyway, things are all looking up now, hahaha!"

Liu Deben was very happy, and then asked Wang Duoyu when he would be back.
Wang Duoyu spent almost half a month in Guangzhou this time, and it's time for him to go back to Harbin.

The reason Fang Li and the others backed down was because Wang Duoyu had reached an agreement with Yuan Youlan and the others. Want Want Group was going to establish Huaxin Technology and Motong Toys factories in Guangzhou, and also move Facebook to Guangzhou.

This terrified Fang Li and the others.

After all, Wang Duoyu and Zheng Ao's words showed that he really intended to come to Guangzhou, and it wasn't just something he was saying casually.

Of course it's terrifying.

There was no other way but to back down.

"I'm not going back so soon. I just promised Secretary Jiao that I'd head to Shangri-La tomorrow, and I probably won't be back in Harbin for another two weeks. Why don't you come to Shangri-La? We can talk in detail there."

After a pause, Wang Duoyu continued:

"Since you've never been to Shangri-La before, it's a good idea for you to come here and relax, don't you think?"

Liu Deben has indeed been through a lot during this period, and he is feeling uneasy.

Hearing Wang Duoyu say that, Liu Deben was also somewhat tempted.

After being urged by Wang Duoyu, Liu Deben immediately agreed.

The next day, at 3 p.m., Wang Duoyu finally met Liu Deben at the airport.

After meeting, the two did not immediately discuss the matter in detail, as Jiao Zhenyu was present and it was not appropriate to talk about the topic.

After chatting for a while, the group headed to downtown Shangri-La.

Inside the guesthouse, Wang Duoyu and Liu Deben sat in a quiet room and began to talk about Fang Li and their surrender.

I'm not entirely clear on the specific process, but the current result is quite good.

"But Secretary, if you can't get promoted, wouldn't that be a waste of your time?"

"How could that be? I only found out from Lao Li that Harbin Institute of Technology will be upgraded in the next two years or so, hehe."

"Oh, does that mean Harbin Institute of Technology will no longer be under the leadership of the Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry?"

"Of course, that's for sure."

As is well known, in the 1950s and 60s, there were only 26 key universities directly under the Ministry of Education, and a total of 13 comprehensive universities of arts and sciences: Renmin University of China, Peking University, Fudan University, Jilin University, Nankai University, Nanjing University, Wuhan University, Sun Yat-sen University, Sichuan University, Shandong University, Shandong Ocean University, Lanzhou University, and Xiamen University.

There are eleven engineering universities, including Tsinghua University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Xi'an Jiao Tong University, and Tianjin University, but Harbin Institute of Technology is not among them.

Of course, the University of Science and Technology of China was not on the list.

These are not the key points. What Wang Duoyu clearly understands is that it would be better for Harbin Institute of Technology to be directly under the Ministry of Education, and it can also develop into a comprehensive university in the fields of arts and sciences, becoming a leading institution and cultivating more talents for the country.

In 1982, the Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry was renamed and is now called the Ministry of Aerospace Industry.

In 1993, this department was abolished, and the China Aerospace Industry Corporation and the State Space Administration were established.

Therefore, regardless of historical trends or other factors, it was inevitable that Harbin Institute of Technology would be placed under the direct administration of the Ministry of Education.

Moreover, Harbin Institute of Technology is now considered too big to be managed by the Ministry of Aerospace Industry.

On the other hand, if Harbin Institute of Technology wants to become the true number one university in China, it must make further and further progress.

Let's get this straight: before 1980, Peking University was extremely powerful; a few simple examples will suffice.

In 1948, the National Academia Sinica elected its first batch of academicians, with ten professors from Peking University being elected, ranking first among Chinese universities.

In the 1953 national ranking of university professors, Peking University had the most professors in China, with 38 first-level professors, 61 second-level professors, and 49 third-level professors.

In 1955, among the first batch of 223 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, 28 were faculty members from Peking University, ranking first among Chinese universities.

But what about Harbin Institute of Technology?

Therefore, Peking University's reputation as the top university in the country is deeply ingrained in people's minds. How easy would it be for Harbin Institute of Technology to replace it?

The time it takes for top universities to compete and scheme against each other is decades or even centuries. A moment's success or failure is insignificant.

Even though Harbin Institute of Technology's mathematics department is currently ranked first in the world, it's because Wang Duoyu is the global mathematics emperor.

He alone is enough, not to mention that the Department of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology is indeed incredibly powerful nowadays.

Shing-Tung Yau, a Fields Medal winner, is the head of the mathematics department, which also includes several other Fields Medal winners such as David Bryant Manford, Daniel Gray, William Thurston, Smail, and John Thompson.

In addition, the Institute for Advanced Study in Harbin also has John Milnor, Charles Fefman, Joseph Cohen, Gerd Faltings, and others.

Moreover, Wang Duoyu also has ten students: Yang Nianzhen, Rong Guangxia, Gao Huajian, Yorkz, Maxim, Bocherz, Wei Jiahong, Hino Yasuhito, McMullen, and Goers, as well as Li Jianshu and Li Jun, who have already gone to the United States.

In other words, the Department of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology is not only incredibly strong now, but also has a large pool of talent for the future.

Therefore, even though its mathematics department is ranked first in the world, Harbin Institute of Technology is not the number one university in China.

Peking University remains the de facto number one university in China, while Harbin Institute of Technology has only surpassed it in the field of mathematics, rather than completely dominating it in every aspect.

After Harbin Institute of Technology becomes a university directly under the Ministry of Education, it will still need to compete with Peking University to be ranked first.

"I'm very happy to be able to retire in a position like the Party Secretary of Harbin Institute of Technology. I just don't know how many more years I can serve after the university is upgraded?"

Liu Deben said sadly.

Because he is already 58 years old, and according to the retirement age of 60, which is roughly the time after Harbin Institute of Technology is upgraded, he will reach retirement age.

Even if Harbin Institute of Technology were to be promoted immediately, Liu Deben would only be able to work there for a maximum of two years.

Of course, retirement at sixty is just the legal retirement age. In reality, many university presidents, such as Gao Jingde, the current president of Tsinghua University, are already sixty-three.

According to the original timeline, Gao Jingde did not retire until 1988. In other words, he stepped down as president of Tsinghua University at the age of 66.

"Old Liu, as long as you're healthy, you'll definitely be able to work until you're over sixty-five."

Wang Duoyu offered these words of comfort.

However, Liu Deben didn't quite believe it, after all, sixty-five years old is a very old age.

Besides, he doesn't even know if he'll live to be sixty-five.

Don't be fooled by the fact that many elderly people seem to live to seventy or even eighty years old these days. However, life begins to decline after the age of thirty.

The forties and fifties are the peak of life. Many people age rapidly after retiring at sixty, and some even pass away within just one or two years.

Because once a person loses their energy and spirit, and has no spiritual sustenance, it is easy for them to lose motivation, be unable to do anything, and feel that life has no purpose.

Another reason is physical condition.

Anyone who has had a physical examination knows that after the age of forty, conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and kidney disease will quickly appear, and the health of various organs will decline precipitously.

Those who haven't experienced that kind of pain won't understand.

Therefore, after the age of thirty, it is essential to start taking care of one's health, including maintaining a regular diet and sleep schedule, keeping a positive mood, and engaging in appropriate exercise.

Liu Deben simply nodded, hoping so.

At 7 p.m., Jiao Zhenyu had already prepared a sumptuous dinner at their unit's canteen, consisting of ten dishes of local specialties, to entertain Wang Duoyu and his group.

"Secretary Jiao, this is too lavish! There are so many dishes; there are only a few of us. It would be a waste if we couldn't finish them all."

Wang Duoyu could understand Jiao Zhenyu's enthusiasm, but this was a bit too exaggerated.

Shangri-La has many local delicacies. Wang Duoyu visited once last year and of course tasted them. He knows the food here very well, and it is indeed very good.

Sure enough, little Wang Junhong still has some recollection of it, and he's already drooling a bit.

"It's nothing, it's just cheap food, Professor Wang, Secretary Liu, please don't mind."

In such a friendly and lively atmosphere, dinner officially began.

Tonight's meal is really just about eating.

The next morning, Wang Duoyu and his group started heading into the mountains.

This time, Wang Duoyu's trip to Shangri-La was not simply to have dinner with Jiao Zhenyu; he also wanted to explore the mountains.

"Wow, this road is all repaired! When we came here last year, it was full of potholes and cars couldn't travel on it; we had to ride horses."

As they drove towards the mountains, Wang Duoyu couldn't help but smile when he saw the road paved with pebbles.

Although the road is still not very smooth, it is much better than before.

Jiao Zhenyu chuckled and explained that in order to meet the construction deadline, they had organized quite a few people to work together on the road.

Wang Duoyu still remembered the incident of someone dying during road construction, but he didn't mention it because it was considered unlucky.

When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, we couldn't continue driving because the slope was too steep, and we were a little afraid to take a car.

"Why don't you fill in this slope a bit?"

"I have no money," Jiao Zhenyu cried, claiming he was broke.

It's not that he doesn't want to smooth the road; he's even thinking of paving it with cement, but what can he do without money?
A penny can make a hero fall.

"We've already exported quite a few products like porcine basalis, and I believe Shangri-La will recover soon," Wang Duoyu could only offer words of comfort.

Upon hearing this, Jiao Zhenyu hesitated, but since the current situation was not suitable for discussing such matters, he remained silent.

Who doesn't know that Wang Duoyu is a very wealthy man?

Moreover, Liu Deben came along this time as well. In Jiao Zhenyu's opinion, this time they should try their best to get some funds from Wang Duoyu and Liu Deben.

Shangri-La is too poor. It's a remote mountain village. It's only a long time since we've produced agricultural products like pig mushrooms that can be exported to earn foreign exchange, so of course we need some support from above.

However, the support from Yunnan is not much, since Yunnan itself doesn't have much money and is willing but unable to provide assistance.

Soon, Wang Duoyu and his companions rode their horses into the mountains, to the small village of Nilonggou.

The altitude here is already over 2,800 meters, which is much higher than the altitude in the small county town of Shangri-La.

The villagers, including Jia Yang, were overjoyed to see Wang Duoyu and his group arrive.

Wang Duoyu, who was warmly received by the villagers, also took out the gifts he had brought with him.

He didn't bring a washing machine or anything like that, but instead brought a lot of books, stationery, kerosene, candles, and other things that the small mountain village needed most.

The small mountain village of Nilonggou doesn't even have electricity yet, but according to Jiao Zhenyu, they are already working on it.

Getting electricity connected was the most difficult thing. It was only 1985, and there were still many places in the country without electricity, and some people didn't even know what electricity was.

Therefore, Wang Duoyu naturally wouldn't bring anything like a washing machine or television. He didn't even bring a radio, because it wasn't very convenient to buy batteries in this small mountain village.

Especially when the radio breaks down, it's not so easy to fix.

For the rest of the time, Wang Duoyu stayed in the small mountain village to learn about the situation there.

A few days ago, another group of foreigners went into the mountains and haven't come out yet.

They were all there to see the ghost orchid.

In Jia Yang's opinion, these foreigners must be out of their minds, otherwise why would they like the Ghost Orchid?

After all, the ghost orchid isn't anything special, and it lives in a swamp. I really don't know what's so great about it.
"Dad, can I go pick mushrooms?"

Bored while staying inside, Wang Junhong couldn't help but ask.

The adults could chat inside, but Wang Junhong and his younger brother, the two little guys, couldn't sit still at all.

After looking at the scenery outside for a while, you get tired of it.

There is a sea of ​​clouds deep in the mountains. It may seem magical and beautiful when you see it for the first time, but little ones may not appreciate these landscapes.

However, playing with the local children in the small mountain village felt a bit strange, and those children were also hesitant to play with Wang Junhong and his brothers, which made the two brothers feel somewhat bored.

"Okay, let's go now."

Wang Duoyu said with a smile, but Jiao Zhenyu advised against it, saying that it was already afternoon and it would be difficult to find mushrooms like pig-head mushrooms at this time, because most of the mushrooms had already been picked by everyone in the morning.

Whether it's pig mushrooms or pine mushrooms, these mushrooms are picked by the villagers in the morning, then packaged by seven or eight o'clock, and sent to the city, and then directly shipped abroad by plane.

Therefore, if Wang Duoyu and his group went to pick these mushrooms at this time in the afternoon, there is a high probability that they would not be able to find any.

"Oh, that's fine. We can just stroll around the neighborhood and take a walk," Wang Duoyu readily agreed, but still wanted to take the child out for a walk.

Jiao Zhenyu followed along, but Liu Deben, being older, did not come.

Before they knew it, it was evening. After dinner, Liu Xiaoli had already taken the children to bed, while Wang Duoyu and his two friends were chatting in the village chief's living room.

It was supposed to be a chat, but it was actually Jiao Zhenyu complaining about how poor Shangri-La was.

"Secretary Jiao, Shangri-La is too mountainous. If we want to develop the economy, we can only develop the tourism economy. In addition, we can also consider the livestock economy and other industries."

"These are all old topics, so I won't go into details."

"As for investing in Shangri-La? Heh, it's too early now, because the tourism industry here in China practically doesn't exist."

"Even if we start promoting now, it definitely won't work, because your transportation isn't even ready yet. The scenery is nice, but the facilities are inadequate and can't provide better service to tourists."

"My suggestion is that you take out a loan from a bank and slowly repair the road into the mountains, starting from the small village of Nilonggou."

"We saw it during the day, and the scenery here is indeed beautiful. We could build some houses in this small mountain village and use local features to attract tourists to come and experience the idyllic life above the clouds."

As he spoke, Wang Duoyu just started saying it off the cuff.

Once the road from Shangri-La to Nilonggou Village is completed, the village can not only continue to develop its economy based on pine mushrooms, but also develop its tourism economy.

For many tourists, the ghost orchid may not be that important, but the beautiful scenery and life above the clouds are still very attractive to them.

In addition, they can experience rural life such as horseback riding, raising cattle, and picking mushrooms, which are all part of daily life in the mountains.

The villagers may not think much of it, but for city dwellers living in concrete jungles, this is the idyllic rural life they yearn for most.

There are many beautiful wildflowers in this small mountain village, and July and August are definitely the peak tourist season.

Once the road is repaired, even if it's just one road, it can still be used to boost the economy.

Jiao Zhenyu was extremely excited after hearing this.

Because such advice is indeed very insightful.

"Professor Wang, I heard that your Want Want Group made a lot of money last year. Have you ever considered investing in us?"

Upon hearing Jiao Zhenyu's words, Wang Duoyu suddenly laughed:
“Investment is also an option. I can have the Want Want Group send people over, and maybe we can build a hotel here. We don’t need to make a profit, just enough to cover our expenses.”

"Also, you might not know this, but a few days ago, Want Want Group set up a Magic Toys factory in Guangzhou. We can send people over to design some local-style trinkets and pendants, and then put them directly in the hotel lobby for sale. That would be a great idea."

The development model of industrial integration is an economic model that has been exhausted in later generations, but it is still very novel in this era.

If it can be developed, frankly, this model is absolutely amazing.

It's not uncommon for delicate and pretty little pendants to sell for ten or eight yuan each. If it's a larger ornament, even if it costs twenty or thirty yuan, it's still acceptable for tourists.

When the time comes, you can simply advertise it as a local specialty decoration from the small mountain village of Nilonggou, and there will be absolutely no problem with that.

And there are also items like carpets that can be sold.

Jiao Zhenyu's eyes lit up as he listened, as if he had seen a large sum of money.

However, after the conversation, Wang Duoyu poured cold water on the idea:
"Secretary Jiao, don't get your hopes up too high. The development model I'm talking about is based on the premise that everything goes smoothly. If things don't go smoothly, then it's all just wishful thinking if no tourists come to visit."

"You can contact those directors and welcome them to film here. Besides that, you can also shoot promotional videos, documentaries, and the like. Basically, whatever looks good."

"Marketing needs to be done well, otherwise everything else is meaningless."

That's about it. Anything more detailed, I don't understand.

Wang Duoyu was only responsible for bragging and giving some general suggestions; how to implement them was up to Jiao Zhenyu and his team.

It's worth noting that even within the Want Want Group, Wang Duoyu rarely participates in the detailed strategy execution; it's mostly Wang Jianchao and his team who make the decisions.

Marketing is not just about throwing money at it; it's also about skillfully leveraging human nature.

Most people are greedy for small gains and like to take advantage of small things.

Making good use of this point can definitely lead to successful marketing, but no matter how good the marketing is, service quality and product quality are fundamental; otherwise, it's not a long-term solution.

The products under the Want Want Group have always been of very high quality; otherwise, their annual revenue would not be so high.

Jiao Zhenyu repeatedly expressed his gratitude, saying that he would definitely do a good job of supervision, and if anyone dared to meddle and ruin such a great situation, he would be the first to chop off their hands.

Wang Duoyu had no doubt about this.

In the early, unregulated stages of economic development, such a blanket approach was often necessary to curb the ambitions of some individuals.

The next day, Wang Duoyu and his friends went deep into the mountains to pick mushrooms.

The two brothers, Wang Junhong and Wang Junan, got up early and happily carried their small baskets on their backs as they headed into the mountains together.

The small basket was woven overnight by the villagers in the small mountain village. It's not very big, but a lot of thought and effort went into it.

"Look, Secretary Jiao, you see? These two small baskets are perfect. For example, when tourists come, they can experience picking mushrooms, especially those tourists who bring children."

Wang Duoyu pointed to the small basket on his back and said with a smile:
"Selling such a small basket for five yuan is a very reasonable price."

Jiao Zhenyu and Liu Deben were stunned and exclaimed in surprise, "So expensive?"
Five yuan is no small amount!

Nowadays, we have reform and opening up, but many workers' wages have not actually increased much, at most by a few yuan.

In other words, the current wage level for workers is only around 40 or 50 yuan per month. To be honest, there aren't many companies in the whole country that offer wages like Want Want Group, which pay 100 or 200 yuan or even higher.

So spending five yuan to buy such a small basket is definitely a waste of money.

"Hehe, the tourism industry can only make money through these things. Otherwise, you wouldn't think it's just about food and lodging, would you? This kind of happy life in the mountains, how could you buy it without spending money?"

Wang Duoyu spoke eloquently, but Jiao Zhenyu still didn't quite understand. He didn't understand if anyone would really be willing to spend the money to do it this way.

I'm afraid we'll lose money then.

Whether you believe it or not, Wang Duoyu is just offering suggestions; it's up to them to decide how to implement them. He won't get too involved.

Taking a little one into the mountains requires extra care.

Mu Xiaowu and his companion were keeping a close watch on the child, fearing that something might happen to them.

In fact, Wang Duoyu's playful personality is a pretty good life experience for Mu Xiaowu and his friends.

After all, they had never been to these places before.

Yuan Zuliang and Mou Xiaowu had never been to many places like Guangzhou, Shanghai, Shangri-La, Kunming, and Chongqing before, nor would they travel to several places every year.

After spending about five days in Shangri-La, Wang Duoyu prepared to head to Kunming.

Qi Xingbang kept urging him on, and Wang Duoyu couldn't stay here forever.

However, the Wang brothers were having so much fun there that they didn't want to leave.

They played happily every day, and their friends in the small mountain village, although they would cry every now and then, were still very happy when playing in the water, catching insects, catching fish and shrimp.

In August, the weather in plains areas like Guangzhou is extremely hot, but in Shangri-La, the temperature is moderate because it is a high-altitude area.

Temperatures between 9 and 24 degrees Celsius, especially when the sun is out, are even more pleasant.

Given these climate conditions, it's perfectly normal for kids not to want to leave.

"Hurry up and pack your things, or I'll spank you when you're having the most fun, you hear me?"

Faced with their father's threat of being beaten with bamboo shoots and pork, the two brothers wisely chose to obey.

Although it's fun to play here, it wouldn't be so nice if I got beaten up and then had to leave with my father.

A wise person knows when to yield!
Yes, there's another saying: "A great man can bend and stretch."

After packing up, Wang Duoyu and his group set off from the small mountain village and arrived in Shangri-La, a small county town, before taking a car to Kunming.

The car wasn't going fast because Wang Duoyu wasn't in a hurry.

However, what Wang Duoyu never expected was that he would encounter some troublemakers who tried to rob him on the way.

"I said before that bad people come from poor and remote areas, and it really came true. I'm such a jinx."

Yuan Zuliang made a complaint, then got out of the car and revealed the pistol that he had been hiding at his waist.

Meanwhile, Mu Xiaowu and his men had already taken out the Type 7 or 8 improved automatic rifles. Although the muzzles were not aimed at these troublemakers, the group of young troublemakers were all terrified.

They had blocked the road a few times before, but those people would just let it go by paying a little money in order to avoid causing trouble.

This time, the young people from the nearby villages all thought that Wang Duoyu's convoy of five cars must be a big fish. Twenty yuan per car, a toll of one hundred yuan, seemed reasonable, right?
To my utter surprise, we encountered a tough opponent.

The young men carried hoes, sickles, and homemade guns, but they only had two guns, and most importantly, they had no bullets at all. In other words, these two homemade guns were just sticks.

The bullets were for hunting; these were leftovers from before.

Because the military has already reduced its personnel, and the militia system ended last year, there was already little training before it ended.

Even with training, there weren't many bullets available, leaving the villagers without any ammunition, as all the other bullets had been used for hunting.

If they weren't poor and had no other choice, they wouldn't have resorted to highway robbery.

What should we do when faced with Yuan Zuliang and his men's guns?
