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

What does Chapter 297 mean by "killing the chicken to scare the monkey"?
January 31, 1986, the last day of the month.

The year-end summary meeting was over, but Wang Duoyu didn't hear a single word.

Even after Liu Deben and the others had left, Wang Duoyu did not leave. Instead, he waited until his stomach started growling at noon before he had no choice but to get up and leave.

Wang Duoyu was unaware of what was going on outside; he simply appeared in the conference room as a 'mascot' at Liu Deben's request.

Throughout the entire meeting, he only uttered one sentence, and that sentence had nothing to do with the content discussed at the summary meeting.

Over the next few days, Wang Duoyu successfully completed the mathematical tool of the higher-order finite difference method, which was also close to the Spring Festival.

This forced him to suspend his research work, take a break, and spend time with his children and Liu Xiaoli.

At this time, Liu Xiaoli's belly was already quite big, as she was more than seven months pregnant and would give birth in about two months.

The pregnant woman is very delicate. Even if the highway from Bingcheng to Dahonggou Village is only in the planning stage, Wang Duoyu will not go back.

A journey of over 400 kilometers is no joke.

Based on current ordinary gravel and cement roads, maintaining a speed of 70 miles per hour would be quite good.

Once the highway is completed and the speed is maintained at 120 km/h, it will still take nearly four hours.

Therefore, Wang Duoyu will not be returning to his hometown for the Spring Festival this year.

Knowing that he wouldn't be going back to his hometown for the holiday, Wang Jianchao, Zheng Baoyin, and Wang Meili all wanted to stay in Harbin, but he called them back.

He had no choice, but Wang Jianchao and the others weren't related, and it wasn't like their wife was also pregnant.

So Zheng Baoyin and the others went back to their hometown for the Spring Festival. However, the two sisters, Wang Meili and Wang Meihe, did not go back to their husbands' hometown because they had just given birth less than two months ago. Instead, they stayed in Harbin for the Spring Festival.

On Lunar New Year's Eve, at Wang Duoyu's home, the two families of Wang Meili and her sister came over to have New Year's Eve dinner together.

The house became much more lively when the two sisters and their families came.

After the noisy New Year's Eve dinner, it's time for the Spring Festival Gala.

Wang Duoyu didn't go to his study to work; instead, he stayed home to watch the Spring Festival Gala with Liu Xiaoli and the others.

However, on the eve of the Lunar New Year, Liu Deben, an uninvited guest, knocked on his door.

"Happy New Year, Secretary, please come in."

"Happy New Year!" Liu Deben greeted with a big smile, carrying gifts and red envelopes. He immediately handed out red envelopes to Wang Junhong and the other kids.

It was obvious that Liu De had come prepared.

Because he not only prepared two red envelopes, but also a red envelope for Liu Xiaoli's unborn child, as well as red envelopes for Li Rongrong, Lu Yuening, and their two younger sisters.

Yes, the second child of Wang Meili and Wang Meihe is another daughter.

When their family members found out, they couldn't help but complain to Li Yuanchao and Lu Qingsong: "Look at the wives you found, how come they can't give birth to a boy?"
Li Yuanchao didn't quite understand, but Lu Qingsong, as a lecturer at Harbin Institute of Technology, knew very well that the sex of a child was not determined by the mother, but by the father.

In other words, it's Lu Qingsong's problem, and has nothing to do with Wang Meili.

So Lu Qingsong tried to explain to his parents, but it didn't work.

Older people are often stubborn and unwilling to listen to others' opinions.

Therefore, we demand that Lu Qingsong be reinstated!

It's not like there's a throne to inherit in the family, so why do you have to have a son?

Liu Deben chatted with Lu Qingsong, Wang Meili, and Li Yuanchao for a bit, and then wanted to have a private chat with Wang Duoyu.

Left with no other option, the latter could only take the other party into the study to discuss the matter.

Inside the study, Liu Deben and Wang Duoyu sat down and began chatting while drinking tea.

The first thing was about the previous year-end summary meeting. Liu Deben briefly explained to Wang Duoyu how much profit Harbin Institute of Technology had made in 1985.

Currently, Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) has a total of thirteen companies that generate revenue: Pioneer Technology, Guanghui Lithography Machine Factory, Zhuoyue Technology, Pacific Optical Cable, Arctic Ocean Machine Tool Factory, Huajiang Power Company, Nebula Supercomputing, Huayun Company, Huaxing Chip Factory, Diaopai Company, Huaxin Company, Huashun Company, and Dolphin Games.

The total revenue from overseas markets was US$27.272 billion, while the total revenue from the domestic market was RMB2.525 billion.

To be honest, this revenue is really impressive.

However, the gap between domestic and international markets is still very large, with a heavy reliance on exports and a very low percentage of revenue coming from the domestic market.

"Secretary, there's nothing we can do about it. The fact that we achieved 2.5 billion RMB in domestic revenue is largely due to the foundry model with chip factories."

Wang Duoyu leaned back lazily on the sofa, his tone relaxed:

"If exports plummet, our domestic revenue will definitely be halved."

"Therefore, from any perspective, we should focus more on the domestic market and develop it cautiously."

Powerbook laptops, PHS phones, electric bicycles, handheld game consoles, and other high-tech products have all greatly facilitated and changed people's lifestyles.

These products sell very well abroad, but they just don't sell well in the domestic market.

Liu Deben asked, "How do we develop the domestic market?"

"For the time being, we can't develop it; we can only grind it out slowly!" Wang Duoyu shook his head and said, "Right now in our country, everyone is still struggling to make ends meet and doesn't think about how to address their spiritual needs."

"Unless it's a few years later, when people have more money, then they won't start to focus on improving their quality of life. Take it slow, there's no rush."

After discussing this matter, more than half an hour had passed. Liu Deben then moved on to the second matter.

That's about the new campus of Harbin Institute of Technology.

In another four or five months, the main campus will be moved to the new campus, and the old campus will be left to the research institutions.

However, given the current situation, it may be necessary to make some changes.

Firstly, the new campus in Weizigou is not actually very far from the old campus, but there is still some distance between them.

If the main campus were to be moved to the new campus in Weizigou, it would likely be less than ideal for most of the affiliated institutions.

Secondly, the old campus is actually not too bad in terms of area and facilities. Research institutions wouldn't need so much space.

Isn't that too wasteful?

"Old Liu, your thinking is far too one-sided!"

Wang Duoyu shook his head and said:

"We've already established so many large laboratories, and even the wind tunnel laboratory is in Yuanchang. What's the big deal?"

"As for the old campus being a waste? That's absurd, definitely not."

"The new campus will be developed gradually, and the old campus will not be wasted. Both the number of students and the faculty at Harbin Institute of Technology will gradually increase, so there will be no waste."

Liu Deben immediately asked, "So, will your office only be moved there in the second half of the year?"

“Yes, I’m not in a hurry!” Wang Duoyu nodded.
"Xiaoli will give birth around April, and by the time she finishes her postpartum confinement, it will be past May, so it's definitely not suitable for me to move there so early."

The new campus is, after all, a newly built building. Although this era doesn't have as much technology or advanced technology, it's still a new building and definitely not suitable for a newborn baby who is only a few months old.

In that case, we might as well wait until the second half of the year to go to the new campus.

“That’s right!” Liu Deben nodded in agreement, and then they talked about the third thing, which was the planning of various projects this year.

In 1985, Harbin Institute of Technology achieved a revenue of US$27.2 billion, which was not far from US$30 billion.

In addition, Lotte Group earned US$6.8 billion in the foreign exchange market, which is pure profit.

With so much money, we should plan carefully how to make the best use of it.

Liu Deben's proposal was to establish a student exchange program with top universities in the United States and the United Kingdom to recruit a large number of such top international talents and attract more talent to companies affiliated with Harbin Institute of Technology.

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu did not object, but instead went along with it:

"Old Liu, your suggestion is excellent, but we need to have a clearer understanding of the current situation at Harbin Institute of Technology. We need to put more effort into protecting top talents, but we can't discriminate against them just because they are from abroad."

"We need to start differentiating ourselves from other competitions in all aspects and gradually narrow the gap in treatment between our domestic teachers and foreign talents. Otherwise, over time, it will easily lead to many big problems."

"In addition, I would like to make a suggestion: we should launch an internal talent development program for top talents at Harbin Institute of Technology."

This top talent development program is the Yangtze River Scholars Program.

Harbin Institute of Technology should provide higher compensation and benefits to top talents with genuine skills, address their concerns, and resolve a range of issues related to their scientific research.

For example, Harbin Institute of Technology does its best to help these Yangtze River Scholars solve problems related to the requirements for high-precision equipment and the precious experimental materials needed in the laboratory.

"Duoyu, your suggestion is even better, but is limiting it to just our Harbin Institute of Technology too narrow-minded? How about we promote it nationwide?"

Hearing Liu Deben's words, Wang Duoyu said unhappily:
"Old Liu, you're overthinking it. How could it possibly be rolled out nationwide? Are you suggesting we use Harbin Institute of Technology's money to support scholars all over the country? We have more money than we can handle."

"To become a Yangtze River Scholar, you must join Harbin Institute of Technology."

"After this plan is launched, Lao Liu, believe me, Harbin Institute of Technology's old campus will definitely be full very soon, and there won't even be enough space."

The old campus isn't bad, it's just not big enough.

While it's possible to continue expanding outwards and bring in surrounding houses, there's no need to incur public wrath.

The old campus of Harbin Institute of Technology is already big enough, so starting a new campus would be a good idea.

The two continued their conversation on the Yangtze River Scholars Program, discussing this topic for almost an hour.

Then Liu Deben almost forgot his most important purpose in coming to see Wang Duoyu today: "Duoyu, during the year-end summary meeting, weren't you writing a paper? Could you tell us what research project you were working on at that time, and how it's progressing now?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu paused for half a second, then laughed:

"Old Liu, that's not very kind of you, but I won't talk to you about this. You'll find out when the time is right."

knowledge?

I'm afraid they don't know!

Because it concerns a strong solution to the Navier-Stokes equations, Wang Duoyu would definitely not reveal it to Liu Deben and the others, and the outside world would not know about it.

Lü Gongliang was not an outsider; he knew a little, but only a little, and he couldn't possibly tell anyone.

Although Liu Deben held a higher rank and was a seasoned veteran, he didn't need to know about this.

Liu Deben smiled and nodded. Although he didn't ask the question, he didn't press further.

Lunar New Year's Eve has passed just like that.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Duoyu took Wang Junhong and the other children out for a stroll.

I didn't visit any relatives or friends for the New Year this year, since the New Year holiday will be over soon anyway.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Jianchao and the others all rushed back home, seemingly unable to stay in their hometown any longer.

The fifth day of the Lunar New Year arrived quickly, and many workplaces had already resumed operations, indicating that the New Year celebrations were almost over.

Many workers from Want Want Group have returned to work, but during this period, a problem arose: there weren't enough buses.

On the evening of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Zheng Baoyin, Xue Lisheng, and Qu Haiping all came to Wang Duoyu's study.

"We've already purchased the planes, so there's no need for us to skimp on those tens of millions of RMB. What's done is done," Wang Duoyu said with a smile.

"Since we don't have enough buses within our group right now, let's continue to procure more. During holidays like the Spring Festival, there's a shortage of vehicles everywhere."

"On the other hand, brother-in-law, Baoyin, and Jianchao, you also need to take initiative and think more about how to solve these problems."

"For example, the rotation system. Our country's four major traditional festivals are Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. When you arrange holidays for those workers, you need to take these into account. It is rotated every year."

Some people enjoy celebrating the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, while others must celebrate Qingming Festival and Dragon Boat Festival; customs vary from place to place.

Regardless of customs, workers' holidays should be observed in rotation, unless it happens that everyone gets a holiday at the same time, although that is unlikely.

Take Yuma Garment Factory as an example. During peak season, the company produces hundreds of thousands of garments every day, otherwise it would be unable to meet the ever-growing market demand.

Yuma Apparel stores are now located in markets all over the world, and you can even find Yuma Apparel stores in Africa.

The richest places in Africa are probably South Africa and a few other places.

So the fact that there are Yuma clothing stores in these places shows that they can make money; otherwise, they wouldn't transport the clothes there to sell.

The fact that hundreds of thousands of garments are produced every day gives a good idea of ​​how many workers are in the garment factory.

"By the way, has the planning for the large lake I asked you to build started yet?"

Suddenly, Wang Duoyu remembered what he had mentioned earlier and couldn't help but ask.

Xue Lisheng immediately smiled and said:

"Yes, it's been arranged. The machines will start arriving after the Lantern Festival."

To enrich his leisure time, Wang Duoyu plans to build a large lake at the new headquarters of Want Want Group, which he will then use for fishing.

In addition, two large lakes will also be built in Dahonggou Village, one for raising freshwater fish and the other for raising seafood.

For example, the famous grouper.

Moreover, Wang Duoyu doesn't raise tropical grouper, but rather grouper from the Bering Strait.

In Northeast China, it's not suitable to keep tropical grouper. What Wangduoyu wants is the giant grouper, the bigger the better.

Unfortunately, these fish are not so easy to raise.

Regardless of whether it's easy or difficult to raise fish, the key is to build fishponds and lakes and bring in the water.

Some might say, isn't this just a waste of resources and manpower?

Goodness, how can a project like this be considered a waste of time and money?
Wang Duoyu spent money to build such a lake, so he must have needed to hire people. Didn't everyone make money?

Perhaps in the subsequent process of raising these seafood and fish, there will be situations such as fish deaths, resulting in losses, but is Wang Duoyu afraid of losing money?

Hiring people to help raise fish and look after these lakes can also create jobs for the local area.

Regardless of what others think, Wang Duoyu is only focused on cultivating his own hobbies, nothing more.

The idea is that those who get rich first should help those who are still poor; Wang Duoyu's actions can be seen as putting this policy into practice.

The Want Want Group made so much money last year; if it doesn't spend it, it's just dead money and has no use.

"By the way, this year, all employees in our group will receive a 30% salary increase, and management will receive a 10% salary increase."

Upon hearing Wang Duoyu's words, Zheng Baoyin raised an objection:

"Uncle, isn't this salary increase too big? After taxes and social security deductions, a 30% increase is only equivalent to a 10% increase. It would be better if there was no increase at all."

Zheng Baoyin had no objection to the 10% salary increase for management.

Since the management team's salaries are already quite high, a 10% raise is already a significant amount.

“Yes, Uncle Jiu, why don’t we give them cash or bonuses? That would be a real raise,” Wang Jianchao chimed in.

Wang Duoyu's face immediately darkened:
"Did you say that? Is this your own idea? Where is your perspective?"

"A pay raise is already quite good. After all, the current salary level in our country is indeed not high. Our Want Want Group has made money, so we shouldn't be stingy with this little bit of human resource cost expenditure."

"Moreover, only when we pay taxes can the country have the money to develop this land under our feet better. Otherwise, where would the money come from? Just from the little bit of grain we pay?"

In the 1980s, it was necessary to hand over grain every year.

Not paying taxes is definitely not an option.

As one of the top-ranked private enterprises in the country, Want Want Group is always under the spotlight, and even the slightest thing can spark a lot of discussion.

A raise is usually a good thing, but the raise is for bonuses? What kind of situation is this?
Do year-end bonuses not need to be taxed?

Innocent!

Is cash acceptable?

Instead of handing out cash, it would be better to just use the money to take those workers to the movies or on trips; that would generate revenue for other places as well.

Moreover, purchasing a large number of buses already deducted a significant amount of taxes.

Is it really necessary to try to save on this small amount of personal income tax?

No sense of perspective at all!

"You've been abroad for too long, and your foreign ways of thinking don't apply to our country!"

Wang Duoyu scolded:

"You can learn from advanced management experience and technology abroad, and you can try to legally and reasonably avoid taxes overseas, but don't go too far, understand?" "Don't treat everyone else like fools, or you'll find out in the end that you're the clown."

This year, the United States will introduce a new tax amendment bill that will eliminate many tax avoidance methods, especially tax avoidance on real estate investments.

Therefore, don't naively assume that old tax avoidance methods can still be used now.

Abroad, Wang Duoyu would stop at nothing to evade taxes by any legal means possible.

But you can't go too far.

Take Pandora, for example. Not long after its establishment, the company started making various large-scale purchases, which were used to offset taxes.

For example, buying cars, buses, and supercars.

Pandora clearly has no use for these cars, and in six months, they will be sold to a foreign company at a price far below market value.

Then these cars will be shipped back to China.

There are two advantages to going through all this trouble.

Firstly, these cars are used to offset taxes and fees after they are purchased.

Secondly, these cars originally belonged to Pandora, and now that they have been sold to a foreign company, it can also be considered an "export".

And this foreign company is actually China Resources.

By purchasing such goods, China Resources is essentially getting cars at 20% or 30% of their original price. Since these are imported goods from the United States, they try to avoid attracting attention from the US.

In this process, both Pandora and China Resources Company profited, but the United States suffered significant losses.

After all, Pandora should have paid more taxes, but it didn't. The Harbin Institute of Technology system used to earn a lot of US dollars from the US, but now it has exchanged them for these 'American goods,' so it won't pay attention to these things.

It's that simple.

However, in reality, the 'foreign exchange' paid by China Resources was actually paid by Want Want Group.

Harbin Institute of Technology does not need these cars.

Anyway, Want Want Group needs a lot of these 'used cars'. In reality, they are all new cars, but they are used cars just because of the name.

In his previous life, before buying his first house, Wang Duoyu always thought that a second-hand house was a house that someone else had already lived in.

In reality, there are many different types of 'second-hand houses' on the market.

For example, many houses are indeed second-hand houses in the true sense, or even third-hand or eighteenth-hand houses.

However, some properties that are clearly new homes have become second-hand homes.

These types of houses are sold by the developer before they are even delivered.

The people who buy these types of houses were originally real estate speculators, but some were genuine first-time homebuyers.

However, there are always people who 'don't need' this house. Six months, a year, or even two or three years later, the house has already been handed over, but the homeowner just doesn't renovate it and waits for someone else to take it over.

Wang Duoyu had bought a house like this in his previous life, which was clearly a second-hand house but was actually a new house.

This situation is actually not uncommon at all, but if Wang Duoyu had never been involved in real estate before, he really wouldn't have known about it.

Zheng Baoyin and Wang Jianchao were so scolded that they didn't dare to say a word in rebuttal. If they had any conscience, they would have been scolded even more harshly.

Of course, Wang Duoyu knew they weren't that kind of people, but he would still give them a nudge from time to time.

It's not easy for a person to always be positive and always be good.

But if you want to go bad, it's very simple.

"Alright, I don't want to scold you, but you need to understand your positions and where your foundation lies!"

After a pause, Wang Duoyu continued:

"Now that the Spring Festival is over, everyone is getting busy again. You should also go abroad and travel more, so that we can make our Want Want Group's business even better."

"I won't set any goals for you this year, but last year we donated a highway, and I hope this highway will bring more wealth to our Want Want Group."

"Foreign capitalists have many bad habits that you mustn't follow, such as indulging in a life of debauchery and excessive drinking, especially drug use. If you even get involved in one of these, I will definitely deal with you."

"Perhaps you've grown too big for your britches now, have money in your pocket, and don't need my help anymore, or even think I won't find out. You're welcome to try, really, I want to make an example of you."

Standing at the back, Wang Jianfei whispered to his cousin Wang Xiangtong: "What does 'killing the chicken to scare the monkey' mean?"
The voice was very soft, but coincidentally, Wang Duoyu was pausing to drink water, so Wang Jianfei's voice sounded particularly jarring.

puff!

Zheng Baoyin and the others burst into laughter, unable to hold it in any longer.

Wang Jianchao was filled with shame and wished he could dig a hole and crawl into it. How could his younger brother be so stupid?

Even if you don't understand, you shouldn't ask at this time.

He's usually reluctant to read more, but now he's really embarrassed himself.

Among the many relatives of the Wang family, not everyone is able to enter the management positions of subsidiaries under the Want Want Group.

Take Wang Duoyu's third brother's family as an example. His third brother has four sons and three daughters.

The children, listed from oldest to youngest, are: eldest son Wang Jiancheng, second son Wang Jianda, third son Wang Jianchao, fourth son Wang Yudong, fifth son Wang Jianfei, sixth son Wang Yufen, and seventh son Wang Yumin.

Currently, only Wang Jianchao and Wang Jianfei have entered the management team.

But no one expected that Wang Jianfei, that idiot, didn't even know what "killing the chicken to scare the monkey" meant, yet he dared to ask, which was incredibly embarrassing.

"Jianchao, I know you're busy, but you should also remind your younger brother to study more, or find someone to tutor him!" Wang Duoyu chuckled as he lectured.
"Jianfei, did you hear that? What does 'killing the chicken to scare the monkey' mean? When you get back, take out your Xinhua Dictionary, find this word, and memorize it. I'm going to check it next time!"

"Uncle Jiu, I understand!" Wang Jianfei buried his head in his chest, feeling like he wanted to die right now.

After the little incident, Wang Duoyu got up and asked everyone to go out for dinner.

Today is our first get-together after the Spring Festival, and also a farewell dinner for Zheng Baoyin and the others.

Currently, Northern Airlines has direct flights to Tokyo, and it won't be long before it can operate direct flights to Los Angeles.

For a medium-sized passenger aircraft like the Boeing 737, it can be put into operation smoothly after six months of testing, so Wang Duoyu certainly wouldn't be too demanding.

However, for a large passenger aircraft like the Boeing 747 to operate ultra-long-haul flights from Harbin to Los Angeles, New York, or London, it would require more than a year of testing.

Although Wang Duoyu is very unlikely to take such a flight, he still hopes that Northern Airlines will remain free of aviation accidents after many years of operation.

To be honest, Wang Duoyu doesn't need Northern Airlines to be profitable, and he doesn't even require Northern Airlines to break even. Even if it loses one or two hundred million yuan every year, it doesn't bother him much.

The only requirement is that it must be safe enough!

In today's global aviation market, people's awareness of aviation safety is not that high.

In a few years, as more and more aviation accidents occur, this will no longer be the case.

Even though those who travel by plane nowadays are relatively wealthy people and upper-middle-class individuals, they do so for convenience rather than for safety.

Therefore, the two Boeing 747 large passenger planes currently owned by China Northern Airlines are still in the test flight process and have not yet been put into trial operation.

Zheng Baoyin and his entourage did not fly directly to the United States on two separate planes, but instead transited through Tokyo.

After the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, life returned to normal.

But it wasn't entirely peaceful either.

The Lantern Festival falls on February 23rd. After this day, Wang Duoyu finally ended his research on the strong solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations, because by this time, his inspiration had been almost exhausted.

In the next period of time, he will begin to organize these papers, and then make improvements after completion.

In the midst of our busy lives, March 1st arrived quietly.

Regarding strong solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations, Wang Duoyu has derived the following methods: higher-order finite difference method, compact finite difference method, adaptive finite difference method, hybrid finite element method, discontinuous finite element method, isogeometric analysis finite element method, higher-order finite volume method, unstructured finite volume method, and dual time step finite volume method.

All of these methods ultimately converge into Wang Duoyu's analytical solution!

At this point, although Wang Duoyu had not yet completely solved the strong solution to the Navier-Stokes equation, he had completed more than 80% of it.

In other words, he has basically completed the overall framework of the building, and only the final step remains.

After March 1st, he successfully completed these papers and then sealed them away completely.

This kind of sealing is completely different from the previous three scientific research results: the Collatz conjecture, the Banach hyperplane problem, and the infinite-dimensional partial differential equations.

Because the Collatz conjectures must be published, their importance is far less than that of the Navier-Stokes equations.

After sealing the paper away, Wang Duoyu wouldn't show it to anyone else, unless they were mathematicians he recognized.

"Sons, come on, Dad will take you for a walk!"

Now that the Navier-Stokes equations were over, Wang Duoyu decided to relax a bit.

The two little ones, Wang Junhong and Wang Junan, were overjoyed and chattered excitedly about going to other nearby zoos to play.

"Instead of going to the zoo, I'll take you strawberry picking today, how about that?"

The strawberry farm was set up last year by agricultural students from Harbin Institute of Technology. The farm has many different varieties of strawberries, which are very beautiful and sweet.

Whether they are students on campus or other citizens outside the campus, they all love to come to this strawberry farm.

"Okay, okay, let's go pick strawberries!"

Li Rongrong and Lu Yuening, the two little ones, cheered; they both really wanted to eat strawberries.

For children, the allure of sweets is immense.

Strawberries are a sweet and sour fruit that is particularly easy to stimulate people's taste buds.

Since that's the case, let's all go together.

In March, strawberries are not completely out of season yet, and you can still enjoy this fruit in greenhouses.

Once they arrived at the strawberry farm, Wang Jun'an and his friends, these little rascals, all let loose and let loose.

Two-year-olds, three-year-olds, and five-year-olds are at an age that chickens and dogs hate, especially five-year-old Wang Junhong, who can be quite wild when he plays.

Just as Wang Duoyu was standing next to Liu Xiaoli, smiling as he watched the children playing wildly, Yuan Zuliang, who was not far away, suddenly walked over with a PHS phone.

"Professor, it's the Party Secretary calling."

Oh!
Wang Duoyu smiled and nodded, thanked the other party, and then answered the phone.

"Duoyu, there's something I'd like to ask for your opinion on. There was a car accident at our school gate yesterday."

A car accident at the school gate is no small matter. Is it really necessary to tell Wang Duoyu about it? Even Liu Deben might not need to know.

However, the person involved in this accident was a Nintendo employee. One of Nintendo's senior executives in China was in the car, and the person he hit was an associate professor from Harbin Institute of Technology.

It wasn't a major injury, but this Nintendo executive was in a hurry to pick up Nintendo's vice president, Taiji Ashikaga, who was coming from Japan, so he didn't care about the matter at all.

This is a hit-and-run.

After this incident, the Nintendo executive refused to admit it until Harbin Institute of Technology showed him the CCTV closed-circuit television footage, at which point he reluctantly admitted it.

Han Jue originally thought there was no need to make a big deal out of this.

But Liu Deben felt that this matter was not insignificant.

Moreover, while Nintendo is awesome, Harbin Institute of Technology is not one to be bullied.

In addition to a sincere apology, Nintendo also needs to provide compensation.

Most importantly, cars are not allowed to speed on this road in front of the school.

But there's no way to manage these roads outside the school.

The only solution would be to turn this road into a road within the school grounds.

After hearing Liu Deben's suggestion, Wang Duoyu couldn't help but say:
"Old Liu, you did the right thing, I support you."

Nintendo is awesome, but the reason they came to China to build a factory was to make money.

If you're here to make money, you can't be so arrogant.

It's time to teach them a lesson!
Compensation is not the point; the apology must be sincere. If it's too perfunctory, it definitely shouldn't be accepted.

"Okay, I understand!" Liu Deben nodded with a smile and continued:

"By the way, we're going to the new campus this afternoon to take a look. Do you want to come along? You mentioned before that you wanted to build a big lake on campus. Don't you want to see it?"

The new campus in Weizigou has more than one large lake; there are actually four lakes: two large and three small.

One of the large lakes is located within the teachers' villa area. This lake is even larger than West Lake in Hangzhou, and most importantly, its average depth reaches 4.5 meters, which is quite deep.

The purpose of creating such a lake is not simply for aesthetics, but rather for raising fish and fishing.

Besides, there are many other benefits to building a lake on campus. First, when the campus is built, a lot of soil and rocks are needed for backfilling, and transporting them from other places would be more expensive.

But if we just dig a few lakes, that would be much simpler, and the lakes could also beautify the campus environment.

For example, Peking University has Weiming Lake, Tsinghua University has Lotus Pond and Kunming Lake. University campuses have lakes, which is a historical tradition.

However, the Weizigou campus is indeed a bit too big.

Another benefit of building lakes is fire safety; in the event of a fire, the water in the lake can serve as a natural source of firefighting water.

"You guys go ahead, I'll go check on it tomorrow."

"no problem."

Liu Deben didn't insist. After Wang Duoyu hung up the phone, he said to Liu Xiaoli with a smile:

"I'm going to the new campus tomorrow, would you like to come with me to take a look?"

"I'm not going. I'm about to give birth, so it's best to stay home!"

Liu Xiaoli smiled and declined.

She cherishes her child very much now, and although she is about to give birth, she is still very scared.

In many places, there are quite a few mothers who are actually eight months pregnant but have had their babies aborted.

This is cruel, but there's nothing we can do about it.

"Dad, where are you going? Can I come with you? Are we going to take a plane?"

At this moment, Wang Junhong, who had somehow returned, chimed in with his comments.

He is very enthusiastic about going out to play.

Influenced by his father, little Wang Junhong hasn't been on a plane for almost half a year and is already very eager to go.

But unfortunately, he overthought it.

"I'm going to visit the new campus in Weizigou tomorrow, do you want to come with me?"

"It's not like I'm going to take a plane, I'm not going."

"But there are flowers and plants over there, and the new lake is especially beautiful and lovely."

Wang Duoyu tempted him with a smile.

"Really?"

"of course it's true"

He wasn't lying to the little guy, because Harbin Institute of Technology really will be decorating the new campus with lots of flowers and plants.

These flowers and plants were all grown by faculty and students of the Department of Agriculture in collaboration with off-campus organizations.

March is the season when tulips bloom.

Although the outdoor temperature in Harbin is around -6 or -7 degrees Celsius to 10 degrees Celsius at this time of March, the temperature will gradually rise.

Placing these flowers and plants outdoors is not a bad idea.

Throughout the winter, it's really difficult to see a single patch of green outdoors in Harbin.

"Then I want to go too!"

As soon as the little brat opened his mouth, Wang Duoyu knew that a conflict had begun. Sure enough, Wang Jun'an and the others rushed over, and soon things got lively.
