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

January 1, 1988, New Year's Day.

Wang Duoyu did not spend New Year's Day at home, but instead spent it on a section of the Ice River Expressway halfway through.

why?
At the end of last month, Wang Duoyu went back to his hometown.

Liu Xiaoli and the others didn't go back; only Wang Duoyu went back.

There was no particular reason; Wang Duoyu simply wanted to go back home, that was all.

At this time of year in winter, the ponds are frozen over, making fishing impossible.

When Wang Duoyu returned to his hometown, he couldn't go fishing even if he wanted to. He could only chat with the elderly people in the village or take a stroll around the neighborhood.

People, there are times when they impulsively do things that seem boring, but are actually quite boring.

Okay, so actually Wang Duoyu ran into a problem.

A year later, Wang Duoyu proved the top mathematical problem of the functor conjecture.

However, it was impossible to successfully complete the final step of finding a strong solution to the Navier-Stokes equations.

Reaching the top seems like an insurmountable obstacle, extremely difficult indeed.

So he went back to his hometown to relax, that's all.

However, on his way back to Bingcheng, Wang Duoyu never expected that he would encounter people who were illegally digging up steel bars.

Construction on the Glacier Expressway was halted in November and could not continue.

The temperature is too low.

But even at such low temperatures, people still set their sights on these steel bars.

Even after Wang Duoyu and his group parked their car, these people still threatened them with homemade guns, signaling them to leave quickly and not meddle in other people's business.

Wang Duoyu was so angry he laughed.

The 1980s was a wild era for outlaw heroes. Many of them were like wild horses, feeling that the world was vast and no one could control them.

"Xiao Wu, be careful, don't kill him!"

Yuan Zuliang, Mou Xiaowu, and the other security staff were already impatient.

After following Wang Duoyu, their daily lives have become extremely boring.

Especially in the past year or so, Wang Duoyu has rarely gone out, which makes Yuan Zuliang and the others feel like they have become rusty.

If they weren't able to exercise every day, they probably wouldn't have been able to stay there long ago.

Even so, they felt very bored.

Therefore, they are naturally extremely excited that someone has finally stood up to provoke them.

After all, it's so satisfying to use a target that's delivered right to your door.

In less than five minutes, the group of thieves were taken down by Yuan Zuliang and his men.

They were all crying out in pain.

There were no mishaps, and it was all over smoothly.

"Contact the nearby police station and have them bring people over to take these thieves away."

Following Wang Duoyu's words, Yuan Zuliang immediately took out his PHS phone and dialed the number.

At the Jiguanshan Police Station, a sudden phone call startled everyone.

"No, who is it? It's so cold, what happened to someone?"

Today is New Year's Day, and it's already past 3 p.m., not long before it gets dark.

The outside temperature is at least minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. When the northwest wind blows, it's like a knife, easily cutting through people's skin.

Therefore, the police officers in the police station are most afraid of the phone ringing.

They haven't had a moment's peace since they got that phone.

On several occasions, they disconnected the telephone lines, and the next day the station chief would go and eat free meals.

The higher-ups take this matter very seriously.

Moreover, the Jiguanshan Police Station is located near the Songhua River.

There is a small reservoir project and a highway project here.

Harbin's top official, Kang Yumin, has repeatedly emphasized the need to ensure the smooth completion of these two major projects.

He'll make trouble for anyone who dares to tamper with these two projects.

Previously, the police chief of Jiguanshan was fearless; when someone unplugged the telephone line, he didn't care.

When Kang Yu-min learned of this, he not only dismissed the person from his post, but also sent him to eat free meals.

So after this incident, the phone at Jiguanshan Police Station was always accessible 24/7.

"Hello, this is Jiguanshan Police Station."

"Hello, officer, I want to report a crime."

"Okay, so you're saying someone's robbing us on the road? Fine, where is it? What? So far? Okay, wait a minute, we'll be right there."

The conversation lasted less than a minute before it ended.

Yuan Zuliang was a little angry, but he held back. After all, he couldn't possibly go through the phone line and beat up the person on the other end, could he?

However, to Wang Duoyu and his friends' utter surprise, they waited foolishly in the cold wind for over an hour without seeing any police officers from the police station.

It wasn't until it was completely dark that Wang Duoyu had Yuan Zuliang and the others drive, taking the eight thieves with them, straight to the nearby police station.

By the time they arrived at Jiguanshan Police Station, it was already past five o'clock.

At that time, only six people were on duty at the police station; everyone else had already gone home.

"Comrade, we've caught a thief."

The two police officers standing guard at the entrance of the police station were very conscientious and responsible.

The four police officers warming themselves by the fire in the police station office weren't taking things so seriously.

One of them even asked in surprise when he saw Yuan Zuliang and his group:

"Was it you who called the police just now? You guys are really capable! You even caught the thief?"

This lazy attitude is infuriating.

"Hurry up and inform Captain Li and the others, otherwise they'll have to stand in the cold wind."

It seems they did dispatch police, but for some reason, the police officers who responded did not reach the section of the highway where Wang Duoyu and his group were previously located.

Just as Yuan Zuliang handed the thieves over to the police station, Wang Duoyu keenly noticed that the thieves actually smiled.

He even foolishly glanced at Wang Duoyu and Yuan Zuliang with a mocking look in his eyes.

It seems they will be released soon.

The thieves' faces showed no fear or apprehension whatsoever of being caught; instead, they wore expressions of mockery and disdain.

Wang Duoyu immediately frowned.

He immediately decided not to leave and instead made a phone call to Kang Yumin.

The Glacier Expressway project is a public welfare project invested and constructed by Want Want Group. It is not for making money, but purely to make travel more convenient for him.

So much money was invested, and now someone is stealing the steel bars.

Moreover, it seems that these thieves are repeat offenders.

Wang Duoyu was already feeling frustrated because he couldn't find a strong solution to the Navier-Stokes equations, and he was trying to suppress his emotions. He didn't expect that the other party would still walk right into the line of fire.

Then he won't be polite.

In Harbin, not long after a meeting, Kang Yumin, who was having dinner at home, heard his mobile phone ring. He didn't pay much attention to it at first.

When his wife told him it was Professor Wang calling, he was immediately surprised and stood up, quickly taking the phone.

"Hey, Professor Wang, have you eaten yet?"

There are many people with the surname Wang in Harbin, and even at Harbin Institute of Technology, there are several professors with the surname Wang.

However, there was only one Professor Wang who could be recorded in Kang Yumin's phone contacts.

Moreover, this PHS phone was Kang Yumin's private phone, and ordinary people would never know about it.

"I haven't eaten, and I don't want to eat now. Secretary Kang, I have something to report to you. Someone is stealing steel bars from the Binghe Expressway, which is invested in by our Want Want Group, and it's..."

On the phone, Wang Duoyu sounded very unhappy.

Kang Yu-min, who had been smiling obsequiously, froze instantly.

Although this matter has little to do with Kang Yumin, it is a huge slap in the face for him.

Kang Yumin had already emphasized this many times when the expressway project from Bingcheng to Shuanghe County was first approved.

Later, Tong Jianwei was transferred from the top position, and Kang Yumin became the top leader of Harbin. He emphasized this point several times again.

This even led to the director of the Jiguanshan Police Station being sent there to eat free meals.

Unexpectedly, some people still took the risk for profit.

It's truly unexpected that someone would go to the highway to steal steel bars at this time of year, in the dead of winter.

Moreover, they stole not only the steel bars extending from the highway construction section, but also some steel bars hidden in the construction site.

This is absolutely outrageous!

Kang Yumin was so ashamed that his face turned green.

"Professor Wang, this is due to our lax management and our mistakes. Please rest assured, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

"Secretary Kang, I believe you will handle this well. However, I am currently at the Jiguanshan Police Station, and the situation here is probably far more complicated than you imagine."

Wang Duoyu didn't give Kang Yumin any face and directly pointed out the current situation.

The more the latter listened, the angrier he became; he was practically bursting with anger.

The Glacier Expressway project was never a profitable project to begin with, and most importantly, it was funded by the Want Want Group.

Because Want Want Group controlled the finances throughout the entire process, and Kang Yu-min and others were keeping a close eye on the project, no one was able to tamper with it.

However, in places far from Harbin, about a hundred kilometers away, the emperor is far away and the sky is high.

Besides, it was just petty theft, just making some pocket money by selling steel bars. In their minds, nothing serious would happen.

Now that Wang Duoyu has seen it, and he's in a bad mood, he's determined to get involved.

"Professor Wang, you're at Jiguanshan Police Station right now, right? I'm coming right away!"

Kang Yumin couldn't worry about anything else; he had to get there immediately to prevent Wang Duoyu from getting into trouble.

Although Wang Duoyu has security personnel like Yuan Zuliang around him, if the people at Jiguanshan Police Station are not careful and stir up trouble, it is still easy for something to go wrong.

After hanging up the phone, Kang Yumin immediately contacted Zhao Guobin.

"Old Zhao, to make a long story short, Professor Wang Duoyu is currently at the Jiguanshan Police Station."

Upon receiving the call, Zhao Guobin felt dizzy and almost fainted.

Did they really cause such a huge mess?

Those people from Jiguanshan are really incredibly audacious!

In less than ten minutes, many people in Harbin had received the order, and many cars started up and headed to Jiguanshan as soon as possible.

A distance of over 100 kilometers is not short at all.

Kang Yumin and Zhao Guobin also notified the higher-level leaders of Jiguanshan.

In short: If Professor Wang Duoyu loses even a single hair, he's doomed.

Before half an hour had passed, all the higher-ups from Jiguanshan Police Station arrived, not one missing.

This was the first time they had seen Wang Duoyu in person; they had only seen photos of him in newspapers or on television news before, and those photos were never very clear.

In recent years, although Wang Duoyu has appeared in newspapers a few times, the photo used is still the one taken in 1983 when he received the Fields Medal in Warsaw.

Of course, in just a few years, Wang Duoyu's appearance did not change much.

Therefore, these leaders recognized Wang Duoyu immediately upon arriving at Jiguanshan Police Station.

The police officers inside the police station were all stunned.

The head of Jiguanshan Police Station was also trying to remain calm, fearing that the truth would come out.

With so many leaders watching, how this matter will be handled to Wang Duoyu's satisfaction is no longer something the head of Jiguanshan Police Station can decide.

Even if Wang Duoyu leaves now, Kang Yumin and his group will not let this matter go easily.

Moreover, Wang Duoyu showed absolutely no intention of leaving the police station.

Nearly three hours later, Kang Yumin and the others finally arrived.

Meanwhile, Wang Duoyu was writing and drawing in the simple office lobby of the police station, clearly trying to solve a math problem.

"Professor Wang, I'm relieved to see you're alright."

Kang Yumin, Zhao Guobin, Lin Runzhe and others strode in, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Wang Duoyu.

At this moment, the director of Jiguanshan Police Station saw this scene, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.

The top three leaders of Harbin all came, as did several other leaders.

To the head of Jiguanshan Police Station, these were all important figures.

How to do?
Cold!

Wang Duoyu stayed at the police station and didn't leave, precisely to investigate this matter further.

"Secretary Kang, you've finally arrived! Do you know what? I've been studying this math problem for five or six years, and I still haven't solved it."

Upon seeing Kang Yumin and the others appear, Wang Duoyu finally put down his pen and said:
"Many problems are difficult for us to solve. My teacher once said that if we can't solve a problem, we should put it aside for now."

"But I've put this problem aside for a long time, and I still haven't solved it."

Kang Yumin and the others were completely bewildered, not understanding why Wang Duoyu had told them this.

It doesn't matter if they don't understand; for now, all they can do is smile and wait for Wang Duoyu to finish speaking.

"The principle is simple, but not many people can stick to it."

"Similarly, everyone knows that illegal and criminal activities are wrong, but there are always some people who take the risk, thinking they can get away with it."

"Little did they know, if you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place!"

Hearing this, even a fool would understand what Wang Duoyu meant.

Zhao Guobin and the others, however, understood another layer of meaning: Wang Duoyu was in a bad mood because he couldn't solve the math problem, and he was determined to investigate the suspect who stole the steel bars he encountered.

Otherwise, given Wang Duoyu's personality, how could he possibly waste his time on such a trivial matter?

"Professor Wang, rest assured, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation!" Kang Yumin made his promise again, and Zhao Guobin and the others nodded and looked at Wang Duoyu expectantly.

No one dared to speak up at this moment and tell Wang Duoyu to go back to the guesthouse to rest.

They were also afraid of provoking Wang Duoyu's rebellious nature, since he was still in a very bad mood at the moment.

Wang Duoyu, who is 31 years old this year, can definitely be considered a young man.

Moreover, Wang Duoyu does look very young, no different from a young man in his early twenties.

Logically speaking, as a mathematics professor, Wang Duoyu holds multiple positions and is very busy every day. He should be able to develop gray hair due to excessive mental exertion.

But Wang Duoyu was too good at maintaining his health. The key was that Wang Duoyu went to bed early and got up early every day. From 1978, when he traveled back in time, until now in 1988, he had maintained this routine for ten years.

Nothing has changed.

The power of self-discipline is immense; those who haven't experienced it simply won't understand.

Many people have heard the saying: "With enough effort, even an iron rod can be ground into a needle!"
However, how many people can actually do it?

Wang Duoyu was able to do it, so at thirty-one years old, he was no different from a young man in his early twenties.

Many leaders in Jiguanshan were misled by Wang Duoyu's appearance and mistakenly thought he was an impulsive person.

Kang Yumin and the others knew that Wang Duoyu was not an impulsive person, but they also knew that once Wang Duoyu got serious, not even nine oxen could pull him back.

After all, even the leaders from Beijing couldn't do anything about Wang Duoyu, let alone Kang Yumin and his group.

"Alright, it's late now, I'm going to find a place to sleep. You guys go ahead with your work, I hope this never happens again!"

Upon hearing Wang Duoyu speak, Kang Yumin and the others nodded repeatedly, and then asked the leaders from Jiguanshan to quickly lead the way and arrange accommodation for Professor Wang.

Actually, even without Kang Yumin and the others saying anything, the leaders on the Jiguanshan side couldn't wait to leave.

The accommodations had definitely been arranged long ago; they were just waiting for Wang Duoyu, that 'plague god,' to arrive.

After Wang Duoyu left, Kang Yumin issued a new order: he would personally oversee the investigation of the matter.

Zhao Guobin and his colleagues were immediately shocked. Lin Runzhe volunteered to take charge.

But no one could dissuade Kang Yumin. He promised to give Wang Duoyu an explanation, and he certainly meant more than just words.

Therefore, he had to personally oversee and resolve this matter.

The head of Jiguanshan Police Station immediately turned ashen-faced.

The thieves locked in the detention cell were still unaware of what was happening and were still dreaming about the future.

Unfortunately, their beautiful dream was destined to be shattered.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. The next day, Wang Duoyu did not go to Jiguanshan Police Station again, but returned to Harbin.

After his outburst last night, Kang Yumin and the others will naturally handle the aftermath for him.

However, this is the current state of society, and changing it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

But Wang Duoyu had already started writing his proposal. He planned to go to Beijing for a meeting in March to submit his gun control proposal.

The proliferation of guns can indeed easily breed many problems.

Accidental discharge of force is only one aspect; there are other more serious issues.

Harbin Institute of Technology, Weizigou Campus, Lake Island Villa.

"Dad, you're finally back! Why didn't you come back yesterday?"

As soon as they arrived home, Wang Junkang and the other children rushed over, chattering excitedly about their concerns.

After chatting with the kids for a while, Wang Duoyu's mood improved considerably.

Over the next few days, he got busy.

The Dawning supercomputing project has reached a critical moment. A supercomputer with a speed of 500 billion floating-point operations per second has even higher technical requirements.

However, these are not major problems. As long as we proceed according to plan and achieve technological breakthroughs, it is not an insurmountable challenge.

Harbin Institute of Technology has already cultivated a large number of technical talents.

In projects like the Dawning supercomputer, 62% of the engineers are now trained by Harbin Institute of Technology itself.

In a few years, this proportion will be even higher.

After finishing the Dawning supercomputing project, Wang Duoyu turned his attention to other projects, such as the turbine-based combined cycle engine project.

Time flew by and it was January 7th. On this day, Kang Yumin and the others arrived at the island in the middle of the lake and reported the situation at Jiguanshan to Wang Duoyu.

After listening, Wang Duoyu expressed his gratitude and then asked:

"Secretary Kang, do you think it's a good thing to allow ordinary people to carry guns?"

Upon hearing this, Kang Yumin immediately fell silent.

Zhao Guobin and his colleagues were in the same boat, because this matter was of great importance and could not be discussed casually.

Seeing this, Wang Duoyu did not press the matter further.

There are too many things involved here; it's not something an average person can handle.

However, Wang Duoyu only recounted a few things he had seen.

That includes things like armed robbery and highway robbery.

Such crimes appear to have become more frequent and rampant since 1978.

After Wang Duoyu finished speaking, Kang Yumin and the others said that they would definitely continue to follow up on this matter and try their best to reduce such incidents.

"Hopefully!"

Wang Duoyu didn't have much hope for this.

Achieving a safe and worry-free environment like the one he had in his previous life is too difficult.

Many people are illiterate nowadays, and very few have received an education.

Nine-year compulsory education started last year, but the phenomenon of "level six" is quite common in many parts of the country.

While it's true that you don't need to take an exam to get into junior high school, the details are still quite complicated.

Kang Yumin and his group stayed on the island in the middle of the lake for less than half an hour before leaving in a hurry.

They've been incredibly busy lately dealing with things at Jiguanshan.

This has resulted in a significant backlog of work in Harbin.

After watching them leave, Wang Duoyu pondered for a moment before finally shaking his head.

Perhaps he really wanted to accomplish something, but some things were clearly beyond the reach of this era.

It's simply not something that can be accomplished by human effort in a short period of time.

So he felt relieved and decided to do his best and leave the rest to fate.

Before we knew it, it was the 9th, Wang Jun'an's birthday.

The little guy wanted to ride in a helicopter, and Wang Duoyu could agree to that, but if he wanted to experience piloting the plane, that was definitely out of the question.

Not long after his birthday, Wang Duoyu received a message from Phoenix International that the shareholders behind BMW were willing to sell the company.

Upon hearing this good news, Wang Duoyu was overjoyed.

Once he acquires BMW, he will have two of the three major luxury car brands from the previous era, leaving only Audi.

Given the current international economic situation, Audi certainly won't be able to hold on for long.

The funds for acquiring both BMW and Audi are ready, and the signing can be completed at any time.

Using bank loans to leverage a buyout to acquire BMW and Audi was undoubtedly the right choice.

While things were going well in Europe, problems arose in Japan.

"What did you say? The finance office is on fire?"

When Wang Duoyu received the phone call, he was quite surprised. How could they dare to do this in a country where people were living a pretty good life?

The story begins in November of last year.

Following the US stock market crash on October 19, stock exchanges around the world suffered devastating losses within just one week.

The Hong Kong stock market will be closed for four days.

It's important to know that the 19th was a Monday, and that's when Black Monday broke out.

The market is closed for four days, which means there will be no trading this week.

However, the following Monday, October 26th, the Hong Kong stock market opened and was immediately hit with a severe blow.

The same situation occurred in the Japanese stock market, and this continued until November.

At the time, global stock markets were experiencing a stock market crash, but Wang Duoyu had already ordered the financial companies under Maple Leaf Holdings to aggressively buy up Japanese stock and real estate stocks.

This is simply because the Japanese stock market recovers very quickly after a stock market crash.

Therefore, we must take advantage of this short period of time to take down all the sell orders and successfully buy at the bottom.

One of them, Tokyo Suijin Group, is a listed company in Tokyo and a conglomerate that integrates real estate sales, real estate construction, and cement plants.

Most importantly, this company has a 30-year history in Tokyo, and its largest shareholder holds only 18.5% of the shares.

The stock market is very fragmented, and the stock prices are not high.

After all, compared to the major companies in Japan, the Tokyo Suijin Group seems quite ordinary.

Of course, this does not mean that the company is not noticed. On the contrary, many of its shares are held by large companies.

Maple Leaf Holdings' subsidiary, Atlantic Investment Co., Ltd., had the right idea to acquire the Water God Group, but the market reaction was too swift, which is why problems arose.

In just about half a month, Atlantic Investment Company successfully acquired 30% of the shares of Water God Group.

However, acquiring a controlling stake of over 40 percent has become extremely difficult.

Therefore, at this point, Atlantic Investment Company prepared to send someone to the board of directors to understand the situation and create an opportunity for a subsequent power grab.

As a result, during this process, Yasuhiro Murakami, the chairman of the Tokyo Suijin Group, suddenly launched an attack and burned down the finance office.

Yasuhiro Murakami also holds 5 percent of the shares in Tokyo Suijin Group, making him the largest publicly known individual shareholder.

This person has embezzled all the profits of the Tokyo Suijin Group over the years.

Or to be more precise, several hundred million yen in profits each year are divided up by him and his related interest groups.

As a publicly listed company, Murakami Yasuhiro's actions are undoubtedly illegal.

However, the finance office was burned to the ground, leaving no way to verify the facts.

Without this evidence, Murakami Yasuhiro would have nothing to fear; even if he were stripped of power, he wouldn't end up in jail.

With a 5% stake and the support of the Mitsubishi conglomerate, he naturally has nothing to fear.

It will undoubtedly be very difficult for the outsider, Atlantic Investment Company, to take over the Tokyo Suijin Group.

"Yes, Professor, I'm sorry, we didn't do our job well and didn't prepare any contingency plans in advance. We are willing to accept punishment."

Listening to the person in charge's words, Wang Duoyu said irritably:
Do you think I want to punish you?

Was punishing them Wang Duoyu's purpose?

No, that's not it at all. Taking over the Tokyo Water God Group is what Wang Duoyu really wants to achieve.

Japan's economic development will continue to surge, reaching its peak at the end of 1988 or 1989.

Therefore, Wang Duoyu must take advantage of this time to acquire as many companies related to Japanese real estate law as possible.

As we all know, the larger a business grows, the thinner its profits become.

Especially for businesses with capital of hundreds of millions, it's not easy to achieve a 20% profit, let alone an 80% or 100% profit, which is even more impossible.

Wang Duoyu and his associates profited $23.7 billion from the US stock market crash, a classic example of profiting from national disasters.

Moreover, such an event is extremely rare, occurring only once every ten years.

Therefore, after acquiring Tokyo Suishin Group, a real estate-related company, Wang Duoyu definitely wants to get his hands on the profits for this year and next year.

Otherwise, why would he go through all that trouble to plan? Just to benefit someone else?

"Do you have any good strategies to deal with this?"

"Professor, we've already swept through the stock market, but the circulating shares are less than five percent, making it very difficult to acquire more on the secondary market."

The person in charge's voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Currently, we hold a total of 42.5% of the shares in the Tokyo Suijin Group, which does not give us an absolute advantage."

However, on Murakami Yasuhiro's side, his own 5% plus the Mitsubishi conglomerate's 39% gave him a majority of shares, suppressing Atlantic Investment Company in terms of shareholding.

Most importantly, this news is already known to everyone.

This has led to a continuous rise in the stock price of Tokyo Suijin Group, which has now exceeded pre-stock market crash levels.

Even if Atlantic Investment Company aggressively acquires shares from the market at this time, it is not only a drop in the bucket and cannot solve the problem, but the high stock price is also unacceptable.

As for finding those minority shareholders, it is undoubtedly very difficult.

Even these minority shareholders are waiting for a higher price to sell, or they themselves are members of the Mitsubishi conglomerate, or shares held by other conglomerates.

Therefore, Atlantic Investment Company is now in a dilemma, caught between a rock and a hard place.

Wang Duoyu was speechless upon hearing this.

From a business perspective, the current head of Atlantic Investment Company is indeed not very qualified.

Maintaining the status quo is barely feasible, but expanding beyond that requires sufficient foresight and strategy.

The business world is like a battlefield, especially when it comes to acquisitions, where extreme caution is required.

In other stock markets around the world, this might be relatively easy to solve, but in the Japanese stock market, it's much more difficult.

why?
Because there are so many large companies on the Japanese stock market, it is extremely difficult for new companies to develop.

Even if a dragon-slaying boy is lucky enough to emerge, he will eventually become one of the evil dragons himself.

This is simply because Japan's overall environment is such that the ecosystem of the entire Japanese economy is built around the six major conglomerates: Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Sumitomo, Fuji, Sanwa, and Kangyo.

Just like the pyramids.

At the top of the pyramid are the six major conglomerates, including Mitsubishi; below them are smaller conglomerates, then ordinary small families, and finally, ordinary people.

It's no longer possible for any emerging industry to develop in Japan.

Take the Sumitomo conglomerate as an example. Its core companies include Sumitomo Bank, Sumitomo Metal, Sumitomo Chemical, Sumitomo Electric Industries, Sumitomo Corporation, Nippon Electric, Panasonic, and Sanyo Electric.

Its business spans industries such as petrochemicals, steel, non-ferrous metals, fine chemicals, electrical appliances, and motors, making it a true behemoth.

Therefore, Japan as a whole has actually formed a very rigorous economic ecosystem.

Dr. Fujio of Toshiba was forced to compromise because of this extremely harsh and morbid hierarchical relationship.

In the end, he was poached by Ōmura Yūryō, a supporter of Huashun Company's Japanese branch.

The head of Atlantic Investment Company should have been very aware of the situation in Japan, yet he failed to foresee these unexpected events.

Now, instead of controlling Murakami Yasuhiro, they have offended him, causing him to completely side with Atlantic Investment Company.

The current situation is indeed very distressing.

The stock price has already risen to a certain level. At this point, selling shares of Tokyo Suijin Group might yield a profit, but not a large one.

Wang Duoyu was unwilling to leave in such a dejected manner.

If one does not sell shares and leave the market, how can one achieve controlling ownership and gain control of the Tokyo Suijin Group?

It must be said that this is indeed a big problem.

"Since the situation is already like this, you should study it further and keep a close eye on the market. I will let you know if there is any new decision."

After thinking for a moment, Wang Duoyu finally spoke.

Upon hearing this, the person in charge on the other end of the phone felt as if he had been granted a pardon and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he also knew that if he messed things up this time, he would probably have to step down from his position after this was over.

Wang Duoyu's team never keeps idle people.

Although, in terms of contracts, the base salaries of players like O'Brien, Lee Evra, Fuller Carson, and Dylan Dario are not high.

However, their bonuses are quite high, and they can also earn some pocket money along with the company.

If you lack the ability, you'll have to step down to a secondary role. There's a significant difference in bonuses and benefits between those in charge and those not in charge.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Duoyu pondered for a moment but still didn't make a call.

That's the current situation, and there's no good solution in the short term.

Moreover, the Mitsubishi conglomerate holds more than 43% of the shares, and with Atlantic Investment Company's 42.5%, they already occupy 85.5%.

In other words, only 14.5% of the shares remain on the market.

Under these circumstances, it was absolutely impossible for Atlantic Investment Company to acquire more shares.

It's frustrating not being able to gain control and not being able to profit and exit, but there's nothing you can do about it.

Wang Duoyu can only wait now, because next week, Zheng Baoyin and his team will be returning to Harbin from all over the world for a meeting.

This year's Spring Festival falls on February 16th, and it's only the first half of January now, so it's still a long way off.

However, the year-end summary meeting is held in advance.

The reason for the earlier date is that in 1988, Wang Duoyu will try to minimize his attention on the Want Want Group.

Therefore, once the strategy is finalized, Wang Duoyu will not interfere again unless a major problem arises.

On the other hand, after making so much money last year and acquiring Daimler-Benz, they are now planning to acquire BMW and Audi.

As a result, the management team gradually expanded.

With more people around, things are more likely to go wrong, and the head of Atlantic Investment Company has gotten himself into just such a big mess.

Therefore, Wang Duoyu also wanted to communicate more with these responsible persons before the Spring Festival to resolve some issues as much as possible.

The next day, Lü Gongliang and his companion arrived at the island in the middle of the lake and talked to Wang Duoyu about Goldman Sachs.

"Just yesterday, Excellence Technologies America announced that it had accepted funding plans from three Wall Street firms. Goldman Sachs has not yet responded."

Excellent Technology is a domestic company. If it wants to accept investment from Wall Street capital, it will definitely need the support of Fang Li and other leaders.

In fact, Fang Li and the others agreed with the plan after learning about it.

Fang Li and his team have spent nearly half a year thoroughly understanding the Want Want Group's business model.

The profits are all retained outside the United States, and these profits will eventually enter the country through oil, food, minerals and other means.

The Want Want Group has already provided examples of the specific operating procedures.

After all, Want Want Group has made a lot of profits internationally, and these profits have been retained and have not entered the United States at all.

These profits are further distributed in low-tax regions such as the archipelago and Finland, and then transformed into products such as oil and food, which are used to pay for 'high-priced' products transported from Harbin, such as Yuma clothing and Pandora watches.

That's how profits disappear.

Even if someone wants to check the accounts, it's perfectly legal and reasonable, and it's very difficult to do so.

Especially in 1988, when information was extremely scarce, it was very difficult to find.

After Fang Li and the others agreed, Excellence Technology America could naturally accept investment from Wall Street capital.

These three Wall Street firms are Maple Tree Capital, Sun Capital, and Blackwater Associates.

These three companies are not as prominent as Goldman Sachs, Berkshire Hathaway, or Magellan Fund, but many Wall Street traders have heard of them.

The outside world is unaware that these three companies, Maple Capital, are wholly owned by Maple Leaf Holdings.

Therefore, Fang Li and the others were very reassured, and the investment was only in the American company of Excellence Technology, not the Excellence Technology registered in Harbin.

Therefore, there is nothing to worry about. (End of Chapter)
