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

May 1st is International Workers' Day. On this day, Wang Duoyu finally had some free time to rest and took his wife and children out for a stroll.

The Great Wall was too crowded, and places like the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace were also packed with people.

So Wang Duoyu and his friends chose a quiet suburban spot for their outing and didn't join the crowds.

"These days, there are just so many more people during holidays!"

Liu Xiaoli said with emotion.

Over the past few years, she has accompanied Wang Duoyu to many places.

Take Beijing for example. Every time she comes here, she can feel that the city has undergone different changes.

There are more and more cars now, and Liu Xiaoli can feel it every time she comes out of the airport or train station.

In the ten years since the reform and opening up, China has undergone tremendous changes.

Even on holidays like May Day, we only get one day off.

It just so happens that on this one-day holiday, everywhere is packed with people.

"It's alright, not too many people. But in ten years, when the country opens up more holidays, haha, you'll find people everywhere, that'll be a real sea of ​​people."

Wang Duoyu nodded with a faint smile.

In the original timeline, the two-day weekend system was officially established in 1995. In 1999, the "National Holidays and Commemorative Days Regulations" were revised again, combining the rest time of the Spring Festival, May Day, and National Day with the preceding and following rest days to form the Golden Week, thus giving rise to the concept of the Golden Week for tourism.

In fact, many companies in China had already implemented the two-day weekend system before it was introduced.

For example, Want Want Group and many companies affiliated with Harbin Institute of Technology have implemented a two-day weekend system.

Many businesses in Harbin have gradually implemented a two-day weekend system, which is one of the reasons why Harbin's tourism, hotel, catering and other related economies have developed so rapidly.

After all, consumption can only pick up when people have holidays; otherwise, it's all just empty talk.

"how is this possible?"

As Liu Xiaoli helped wipe the child's face, she said in surprise.

They were having a picnic in the countryside. Wang Yifei was crawling around on the blanket, very restless, especially when she was eating, her little hands were moving around everywhere.

This resulted in a lot of food getting on her face.

Her mother was very clean and couldn't stand seeing her child looking sloppy, so she kept wiping her child's face.

As for the Wang brothers, Wang Jun'an and Wang Jun'kang, Liu Xiaoli couldn't be bothered with them.

If they dare to get themselves dirty, whether it's their clothes or their mouths, Liu Xiaoli will definitely scold them, and might even beat them with a stick.

The eldest son, Wang Junhong, is like a little adult. He doesn't need adults to supervise him much anymore; he can take care of himself.

"Yes, Dad, when we passed Badaling just now, there was a long queue over there. Will there be even more people in the future?"

Upon hearing Wang Junhong's words, Wang Duoyu replied cheerfully:

"I ask you, how many people are there in our country?"

"Dad, I know, it's a billion people!"

Wang Junan spoke first, but his older brother rejected his suggestion.

"Second brother, you've got it wrong. It's not ten billion, it's eleven billion!"

The population figure of one billion was from 1981; now it's 1989, and the national population has surged to 1.1 billion.

Why does Wang Junhong know so much?

Because he has a lot of contact with these things on a daily basis, even if he doesn't want to know about them, there are always leaders around him who often talk about these things and keep repeating them to him, so how could he not remember them?
This is the hidden benefit of being born in Rome.

Children from poor families are still helping their younger siblings cook right now. They usually only hear about everyday family matters and would never hear about national policies or current events.

Although Wang Duoyu's family didn't talk about these things very often, Liu Deben, Lü Gongliang, and others frequently came to see Wang Duoyu, and the security staff, including Yuan Zuliang, would also chat about news and such from time to time.

Topics like population growth, public security, and business development—as long as they're not classified, what can't we talk about?

"Yes, the boss is right."

Wang Duoyu gave a thumbs up and said:

"Our country now has 1.1 billion people, so the total population is constant. If the country establishes a two-day weekend system, and as the economy develops, people have more and more money, do you think that during holidays, tourist attractions such as the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, Prince Gong's Mansion, and the Great Wall will be packed with people?"

"Assuming a seven-day holiday for National Day this year, would a family of three go on a trip?"

The one-child policy has been in effect for several years, and the number of three-person families is gradually increasing.

A family of six with four children like Wang Duoyu's is indeed rare.

Of course, in rural areas, it's not uncommon to find families with six members, or even seven, eight, or ten members.

Especially some families, with five or six daughters, are determined to have a son, and then have one every year.

This situation is very common in rural areas of the south.

In his previous life, in Wang Duoyu's hometown and several nearby villages, there were seven or eight households like this.

Although they didn't name their daughters Zhaodi, Pandi, or Laidi, these families did indeed have at least five daughters, and the family line wasn't considered complete until a son was born.

Liu Xiaoli nodded in agreement:

What you said makes a lot of sense, just like us.

Li Rongrong, Lu Yuening, Wang Junhong, and the other children nodded thoughtfully.

Although these are topics that adults would normally discuss, and these little kids might not understand them, that doesn't mean they won't think about them.

Wang Duoyu continued his narration with a smile, slowly recounting some social phenomena and situations.

Children may be young, but their education is still essential.

He doesn't spend much time with the children on a regular basis, so he doesn't have many opportunities to teach them by example.

But in fact, compared to other parents, Wang Duoyu educates his child a great many times, and very efficiently.

Because Wang Duoyu himself has set a very good example.

Of course, this is also because in recent years, Zhu Ling has not appeared in front of Wang Junhong very often, and has gradually reduced the number of times she visits him.

In addition, Wang Junhong and the others have gradually grown up, understand many things, and are smarter and more mature than their peers, so Wang Duoyu's education is more effective.

The day passed quickly.

May 2nd arrived in the blink of an eye, and Wang Duoyu once again came to the Wenjin Street compound.

Today I met with another group of experts, mainly to discuss the design drawings for the Ginkgo Leaf Tri-Engine Fighter Project.

Regarding this engine, Wang Duoyu did not intend to design the blueprints himself. This time, he only made the request, and the details were completed by more than 30 units, including Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, AVIC, and Harbin Institute of Technology.

Harbin Institute of Technology itself has several large laboratories, including the Yuanchang Large Wind Tunnel Laboratory, which will also participate in the project.

The Yuanchang Large Wind Tunnel Laboratory is not just a laboratory; the institution has several large wind tunnel laboratories, two of which are currently in use, one is empty, and the other is used for the J-10 fighter jet.

The empty wind tunnel laboratory is not entirely empty, as Pioneer Technology and Heilongjiang Aircraft Manufacturing Plant occasionally need to use it.

Pioneer Technology and Heilongjiang Aircraft Manufacturing Plant are units specializing in the research and development of domestically produced civil aircraft.

Although Wang Duoyu didn't pay much attention to these two institutions, it doesn't mean their research progress was slow.

"These are the requirements. How long do you expect to take to produce the blueprints?"

After stating his requirements, Wang Duoyu looked at Professor Li, the project leader from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and asked.

"Professor Wang, according to your requirements, it will take us at least a year to complete the first draft."

"No, it's too slow!"

Upon hearing that it would take a year to complete the first draft, Wang Duoyu naturally couldn't wait.

This is just like the J-10 fighter jet project.

There are so many difficulties!

It was almost a difficult birth.

This was, of course, unacceptable to Wang Duoyu.

"I'm giving you six months. You must complete the first draft of the design within six months and finalize the design within one year."

After a pause, Wang Duoyu continued:

"I don't care what methods you use, whether you're short of money or manpower, just tell me directly."

"Time waits for no one, but the enemy won't wait for us!"

Just yesterday, Fang Lihe had already made a phone call to Wang Duoyu.

That means something big has happened overseas.

One of the things is that Gorbachev will come to the capital in the middle of this month.

This is a very big signal.

So why did Gorbachev come to our side at this time?
Fang Li and his group did not believe that the other party wanted to come to Beijing for sightseeing, to see the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the Prince Gong's Mansion, and other scenic spots.

Something must have happened.

As everyone knows, our relationship with our next-door neighbors had already completely soured twenty years ago.

To be precise, it was the neighbor next door who insisted on causing trouble.

Yes, that is, Treasure Island!

That's the gist of it.

From 1969 to the present.

We cut off all contact with our next-door neighbors.

Now, twenty years later, this old neighbor suddenly came to visit.

Reminiscing about old times?

Hehe, maybe so.

But most of them are calling for help!

We're not worried.

A scholar should be viewed with new eyes after three days' absence, let alone someone who is no longer the same as before.

In particular, Wang Duoyu had already reported to Fang Lihe and Lü Yangui that the Mach 5 fighter jet project was about to reach the test flight stage.

Holding the nation's most important weapons is equivalent to having a sword in one's hand, so why should we be worried?

In summary, while we don't have all the advantages, we don't have many disadvantages either.

I'd say it's a 50/50 chance.

After learning that Gorbachev was coming to Beijing, Wang Duoyu naturally understood.

The events that occurred in the original timeline are about to unfold.

A great era is about to begin.

Therefore, we simply didn't have much time, and it was impossible for the design blueprints for the Ginkgo Leaf Tri-Engine fighter jet to be completed in just one year.

Professor Li immediately looked troubled, but Wang Duoyu didn't care.

Tell me what you need, but I definitely won't give you any extra time.

It's been six months since I said it, and it's been six months.

After finalizing the matter, Wang Duoyu left the office and turned to go to the other side of the courtyard.

"Boss, there shouldn't be anything else to do, so I'll head back to Harbin Institute of Technology."

After a pause, Wang Duoyu continued:

"You can continue to discuss the Nantianmen Project, but the overall plan is perfectly fine. I can give you another heads-up: Want Want Group actually has enough funds to fully support the entire Nantianmen Project."

Fang Li and his leaders were immediately dumbfounded.

They were actually mentally prepared, but they never expected the Want Want Group to be so powerful.

Wang Duoyu was surprisingly patient, only revealing the news now.

Two hundred billion RMB every year, that's no small sum.

Therefore, the financial company hidden beneath the surface of Want Want Group must have made a lot of money.

Otherwise, Wang Duoyu wouldn't have such confidence.

After saying that, Wang Duoyu turned and left the Wenjin Street compound.

As for how Fang Li and the others fill in the blanks and fantasize, that's not something he should care about.

That afternoon, Wang Duoyu and Liu Xiaoli, along with several children, returned to Harbin.

After more than half a month, I finally returned to my home at Harbin Institute of Technology.

On the afternoon of his return, Wang Duoyu took out his fishing rod and sat by the lake to cast a couple of lines.

"We must have a consecutive stroke today!"

A fisherman never goes home empty-handed!
Wang Duoyu did indeed succeed; naturally, he couldn't possibly be an air force failure.

Because in this era, loaches could also be used for fishing.

The fish in the lake are caught silently, one by one, using loach as bait.

The linkage is just a basic operation!

It's not impossible to catch a giant fish.

However, Wang Duoyu doesn't fish for the super giants here; even if he does take the bait, he'll let it go.

The artificial lake at Harbin Institute of Technology contains a number of sturgeon.

However, most of them are sturgeon fry and are not yet able to reproduce.

However, there are very few sturgeon that have reached breeding age.

Therefore, it's impossible for Wang Duoyu to eat these giant sturgeon.

We'll have to wait at least seven or eight years, until the other sturgeon fry have reached the age where they can reproduce, before we can eat them.

If Wang Duoyu really craves it, he can eat it; he can also buy it from outside.

After returning to Harbin Institute of Technology, Wang Duoyu's life settled down.

On May 18th, he received a call from Lü Yangui.

"Duoyu, you're absolutely right. Mevlüt and the others are indeed getting anxious."

Mevlüt was one of the officials who accompanied Gorbachev to the capital.

His main responsibility was to talk to Lü Yangui and his team about promoting the S27 fighter jet.

Throughout the early 1980s, we were negotiating with Dassault regarding the Mirage 2000 fighter jet deal.

It is known throughout the world!

It wasn't until 1985, when our negotiations with Dassault broke down, that we turned to Grumman to negotiate a deal for F-14 and F-16 fighter jets.

Clearly, this round of negotiations also ended in failure.

Before mid-May this year, our relationship with our next-door neighbors was very tense.

Now that Gorbachev has taken the initiative to come to the capital, relations have eased somewhat.

Meanwhile, Mevlüt, as the person in charge, personally pitched the S27 fighter jet to Lü Yangui and his team.

Mevlüt was well aware that his country was currently in dire need of money, extremely so.

Why did they invest so much manpower, resources, and money in the Safar Empire, only to fail to achieve their intended goals?

Since he was short of money, Mevlütt inevitably appeared somewhat anxious when he was trying to sell the S27 fighter jet to Lü Yangui and his team.

"Boss, what does that mean? Do we want to make a purchase?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu asked calmly.

How do I buy it?

Lu Yangui rolled his eyes and said:
“We have no money right now. Even if we pay it back slowly every year, we still can’t afford it.”

"Mevlütt and his team quoted $50 million per aircraft and indicated they needed to purchase at least thirty."

The price was negotiable, but Mevlut held onto the thirty fighter planes.

why?

Because we are not just buying the planes, but also the fighter jet technology, which is equivalent to a one-off deal.

In other words, if this deal goes through, then Mevlüt and his team will no longer be able to sell us any more S27 fighter jets.

After all, we already have experience in successfully reverse-engineering the MiG-21 fighter jet.

Therefore, replicating the S27 fighter jet would be a piece of cake.

Today is different from the past!

We are no longer the ignorant fools we once were.

Mevlüt and his men were aware of this, which is why they pressed on with the issue of the thirty fighter planes.

At a price of $50 million per aircraft, thirty aircraft would cost $1.5 billion.

Add in other supporting technologies and so on, and asking for two billion US dollars, is that reasonable?
Dassault initially sold only twenty-four Mirage 2000 fighter jets, not including the core technologies of radar and engine, and the price was already as high as two billion US dollars.

Now, Mevlüt has added six more fighter jets and authorized the sale of two core technologies: radar and engines. So, two billion US dollars is truly a very sincere offer.

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu immediately shook his head and said:

"Too expensive, a billion dollars would be more like it."

It's May 1989 now, and soon it will be 1991.

In the next year or two, a multitude of events will occur globally.

Even so, Wang Duoyu was not afraid.

We've already made it through the original timeline without any problems, so there's no reason why something unexpected should happen in this timeline.

The S-27 is a single-seat, twin-engine, all-weather heavy air superiority fighter developed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau, belonging to the third generation of fighter jets. Its maximum takeoff weight is 28000 kg, maximum level flight speed is 2430 km/h, service ceiling is 18,000 m, and maximum fuel range is 3880 km.

It first flew in 1977 and entered service in 1985.

In the original timeline, when sold to other countries, the price per unit was $3000 million.

But it is now 1989. If we cooperate with Mevlüt, it would be equivalent to directly purchasing his contemporary fighter jets.

After all, the S27 fighter jet only entered service four years ago; it is an active-duty fighter jet.

If it weren't for a lack of funds, Mevlüt probably wouldn't have been able to market this fighter jet.

"One billion dollars?"

Lu Yangui exclaimed in surprise, then switched to the other ear and continued the call with Wang Duoyu:
"How can it be so cheap?"

"Mevlüt isn't stupid. Why would he sell it to us for a billion dollars?"

Wang Duoyu calmly analyzed:
"Boss, when you have time, you should pay more attention to Europe. Anyway, we're not in a hurry, so let's take our time negotiating with them."

"Perhaps in another year or two, we won't need to spend two billion dollars, or even save one billion dollars."

"However, I need to tell you that the Nantianmen Project cannot be delayed and must be completed as soon as possible. If the project is not approved by the end of this year, I will personally oversee the project, and the Want Want Group will bear all the costs."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yangui didn't know how to continue the conversation.

If it weren't for the fact that it was indeed Wang Duoyu's voice on the other end of the phone, Lü Yangui would have thought that someone else had answered the phone.

Are you crazy?
Can you get an S27 fighter jet for free?

"Sir, is there anything else?"

After waiting for a long time without Lü Yangui speaking, Wang Duoyu said:
"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."

"Wait a minute, Duoyu, I'll be at Harbin Institute of Technology this afternoon. Don't leave the school, wait for me!"

Lu Yangui said hurriedly, and then quickly hung up the phone.

Because he had already realized that Wang Duoyu's words were definitely implied.

Lu Yangui didn't believe he was unaware of what was happening in Europe.

But things have taken an even more terrifying turn than predicted.

Based on Wang Duoyu's previous predictions of the Plaza Accord, the Louvre Accord, and the 1987 stock market crash, Lü Yangui has reason to believe that this time, the former's prediction is very likely to come true.

The idea that you can buy an S27 fighter jet for free is incredible.

Lu Yangui was naturally very eager to know the secrets hidden within.

At 3:30 p.m., Lü Yangui arrived smoothly at the lake island of Harbin Institute of Technology's Weizigou Campus by car.

Inside the study of the villa, he met Wang Duoyu, who was working on the Hodge conjecture.

"Sir, please have a seat. What kind of tea would you like? West Lake Longjing, Biluochun, Xinyang Maojian, Da Hong Pao, or chrysanthemum, Beijiang black tea, or green tea?"

These tea leaves are what Wang Duoyu usually uses to entertain guests; he himself rarely drinks tea.

Cool boiled water is the best drink.

"No need for that, I can do it myself. A glass of cool boiled water will do."

Lü Yangui did not let Wang Duoyu do it; instead, he did it himself.

After sitting down and exchanging a few pleasantries, he took the initiative to ask Wang Duoyu about the matter they had discussed on the phone at noon that day.

"Boss, I already instructed you to keep an eye on things in Europe."

Wang Duoyu shook his head and laughed:
"The economic situation in Europe has changed dramatically."

What he actually meant was the Eastern European region, specifically the countries of Hungary and Armenia.

However, Lü Yangui and his colleagues were more concerned about a European conference that would be held next month.

This refers to a series of events stemming from the Single European Act signed by the European Community three years ago.

If people focus on different things, the final results will be completely different.

Therefore, Wang Duoyu did not reveal more to Lü Yangui, but simply asked them to wait.

Secondly, we urged them again to implement the Nantianmen plan as soon as possible.

Of course, the situation in the capital is not peaceful right now either.

After all, he attended a funeral in the capital in mid-April.

Don’t say too much, and don’t talk too little.

For the Nantianmen Project to proceed smoothly, the old man's mediation is still needed.

But there are indeed many things to deal with right now, and they are all very complicated, so we cannot make a decision lightly.

In particular, Wang Duoyu's Nantianmen plan seemed relatively simple to him. Why?
Wang Duoyu has been preparing for this plan for nearly ten years, covering multiple dimensions such as funding, talent, technological accumulation, and industry planning.

In terms of funding, with companies affiliated with Harbin Institute of Technology and the Want Want Group as a safety net, it can easily support the company, even if it requires 50 billion RMB, let alone 20 billion RMB annually.

In terms of talent, it goes without saying that Harbin Institute of Technology has already accumulated and cultivated a large number of talents.

Technological accumulation can be said to be complementary. For example, Wen Shixuan is in charge of the Red Star Group.

Although the group currently only has two companies, a steel mill and a chemical plant, this has changed since January of this year.

Red Star Group will collaborate with two large laboratories under Want Want Group to focus on advancing research and development projects in various metal materials.

Materials science is an extremely broad field of research, encompassing metallic materials, inorganic non-metallic materials, polymer materials, composite materials, and more.

Hongxing Group specializes in the research and development of these materials.

Over the years, they have accumulated a large number of technology patents, many of which can be applied to the aerospace field.

This is the accumulation of technological expertise.

Needless to say, Harbin Institute of Technology has already established all science and engineering majors seven or eight years ago.

The companies under Harbin Institute of Technology almost all cover civilian and military fields such as aerospace, drones, electronic communications, and computers.

Even in industries that are not currently available in China, such as high-end machine tools, the Arctic Ocean Machine Tool Plant under Harbin Institute of Technology has already established a high-end machine tool project to fill the gap in this field in China.

Having spent ten years preparing for this plan, he naturally felt that the preparations were very thorough.

Even if there are still some shortcomings, they will be quickly filled in the next two or three years.

However, according to the leaders above, once the Nantianmen Project is launched, it will cost at least 20 billion RMB per year.

That's equivalent to one-tenth of last year's fiscal revenue—it's terrifying.

If Harbin Institute of Technology and Want Want Group are unable to provide stable funding, then in the end, won't the state have to bail them out?

Why do Lu Yangui and his colleagues think that Want Want Group and companies affiliated with Harbin Institute of Technology are short of money?
Wealth gained through plundering others is not sustainable.

The debts owed will eventually come to light.

I'll definitely have to pay back the debt eventually.

Besides, who can guarantee that Want Want Group will always be able to make so much money?
If the government ultimately has to bail it out, then 20 billion RMB per year is no small sum.

The Three Gorges Dam, the Songliao Canal, the Mach 5 fighter jet project, the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, and the West-to-East Power Transmission Project—which of these projects doesn't cost money?

Besides, doesn't Harbin Institute of Technology need money?

The Ali Observatory telescope project, the Dawning supercomputing project, the domestic civil aviation passenger aircraft project, the matrix radar project, the communication satellite project, and so on—each one of them costs money.

They're all big spenders!

Even just considering the funding aspect requires careful consideration, and other aspects such as personnel require even greater caution.

That is why, even though the Nantianmen Plan was proposed by Wang Duoyu more than two months ago, it has still not been finalized.

Of course, Wang Duoyu had to urge him on.

Having failed to obtain the information he sought, Lü Yangui had no choice but to leave in frustration.

After Lü Yangui left, Liu Deben and Lü Gongliang came to find Wang Duoyu the next day.

"Duoyu, you guessed right. Professor Shang Zhongmin in the US has received news that they have submitted a document restricting our MP3 players, laptops, mobile phones, and other products from entering the US market."

"We have already received inquiries from IBM, Motorola, and AT&T, who hope we can transfer the relevant assets to them."

In the reception area of ​​the villa, Wang Duoyu sat on the sofa and was not surprised when he heard Lü Gongliang's words.

Both Motorola and IBM are giants in the American technology industry.

AT&T is a telecommunications giant that has a long-standing and very good working relationship with CEFC.

But even before the documents from Washington have been released, these three giants are already impatient.

At this moment, the greedy face of capital was fully displayed.

"Okay, then let's proceed as planned."

Wang Duoyu said casually.

He had already discussed this matter with Liu Deben more than half a year ago and had already formulated relevant countermeasures.

At the year-end summary meeting in mid-January, Wang Duoyu mentioned the coping strategy again.

Therefore, we can naturally handle this situation calmly.

"Yes, we just came to say thank you."

Liu Deben and Lü Gongliang spoke with serious expressions and gratitude.

"No need for that. We're all working together for the sake of Harbin Institute of Technology. There's no need for thanks or no thanks."

After a pause, he continued:

"If companies like Excellence Technology encounter any difficulties, they can contact Li Efra and the others, and I will put in a good word with them."

Compared to companies affiliated with Harbin Institute of Technology, Want Want Group is practically operating underwater.

Lee Evra, O'Brien, Fuller Carson, and others are all publicly known white gloves.

No one could have guessed that Wang Duoyu was the mastermind behind everything.

Many investors in Europe and America are still speculating whether companies like Maple Tree Capital and Quantum Technology are part of a mysterious European investment firm, but they are completely baffled.

Because of World War I and World War II, Europe was almost completely razed to the ground and left in ruins.

A large amount of European capital and talent has already moved to the United States, such as the famous Rothschild family.

Of course, unless you're someone who's reached a certain level, you might not even know about the Rothschild family.

Take Wells Fargo, which was formed by Jordan Belfort and Andy, as an example. The three parties wanted to take over Sun Capital's 40% stake in Stratton Oakmont, but they couldn't manage it for a long time.

Besides the fact that Sun Capital had already made preparations, it was also because Dylan Dario had deep-rooted capital behind him, which Wells Fargo had not been able to find out, so they did not act rashly.

The family behind Wells Fargo is merely a branch of the Gates family, not the main branch.

The Gates family knows a little about the Rothschild family, but they don't know exactly how much.

The Gates family is the front man for the Morgan family, while the Morgan family is the front man for the Rothschild family.

Their capital has been hidden well enough, but because the Rothschild family has been deeply rooted in Europe and America for nearly two hundred years, it was originally intended to be a large amount of capital invested next year.

However, during World War I and World War II, the Rothschild family was dismantled by the state apparatus of the time.

As a result, after the two world wars, the family not only split into several branches, but also went into hiding.

The Luo family's five tigers were incredibly powerful back then.

Unfortunately, times have changed, and it is no longer the era of the Rothschild family.

As a time traveler, Wang Duoyu designed white gloves and black gloves, just like an old sow's bra, one set after another.

Therefore, it is impossible for outsiders to tell.

It's even less likely that they'll dig deeper.

How much would it take to make Lee Efra and the others betray them?

Capital only cares about profits and doesn't care about anything else.

Liu Deben and Lü Gongliang sat for a while before leaving.

It's almost June now, and many things are starting to happen.

Mevlüt followed Gorbachev to the capital, actively promoting the S27 fighter jet.

It's easy to see that they have indeed reached a dead end.

After all, why would they sell their active-duty fighter jets unless they were at their wits' end?

The Dassault Phantom 2000 was developed in the early 1970s and began to be sold in the early 1980s.

It is quite different from the S27 fighter jet.

After all, Dassault is a private company and only the second largest aircraft manufacturer in France.

In New York, Viacom and Sumner Redstone have been closely watching Paramount's stock price.

Paramount's stock price was relatively calm and quiet in March and April.

However, after entering May, the stock price began to rise slowly, and the trading volume also increased.

By mid-to-late May, the trading volume had reached an astonishing level.

Paramount's current market capitalization has reached US$6.3 billion.

At this point, some people started to suppress the stock price, but the trading volume did not decrease.

With summer vacation approaching, Paramount's stock price may surge.

Because every summer is the peak revenue season for Hollywood giants.

That summer, Paramount was about to release "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," with a release date of May 24th, meaning it was almost time for its release.

But at this time, some institutions actually suppressed Paramount's stock price and sold off a large number of shares.

It seems they're keeping a close eye on Paramount.

"Sell it or not?"

Redstone was also hesitant, because given the current market conditions, a sharp drop in Paramount's stock price was inevitable.

The reason is that the upward trend slowed down in the last few days after the stock price broke through the six billion dollar market capitalization mark.

The increase in sell orders indicates that many people are taking advantage of the current high stock price to sell off their shares.

As the CEO of a conglomerate, Sumner Redstone didn't invest in stocks for a pittance.

Rather, it was to acquire Paramount, the Hollywood giant.

"Sell!"

After hesitating for two minutes, Redstone finally decided to sell, and to sell everything.

Unlike Redstone, the president of Goldman Sachs, in his office in another building in Manhattan, also instructed his subordinates to carry out the order.

But it's actually accumulating shares.

That is, buy!
Many people know that Goldman Sachs is eyeing Paramount.

However, so many things happened a few months ago that caused Goldman Sachs to miss a golden opportunity.

Now, the Goldman Sachs president has finally come to his senses.

Whether it's the so-called mysterious European capital, Sumner Redstone of Viacom, or Georgio Moreno, Paramount's current major shareholder, none of them have given up their plans to control Paramount.

Although Geor Moreno's funds are negligible, he controls 30% of the shares, making him a force to be reckoned with.

"Buy everything! Buy all the sell orders with a market value of less than six billion."

The current president of Goldman Sachs decisively issued an order to buy all the shares.

Buying Paramount for a market value of six billion would definitely result in huge losses.

Even if they can't successfully acquire Paramount, they should be able to make a profit by playing the stock market, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

Only through multi-party competition can one make a profit.

Coincidentally, while Goldman Sachs was aggressively buying up stocks, Georgio Moreno in Los Angeles was also on a buying spree.

He borrowed a billion dollars from a local small bank and used it all to buy Paramount stock.

Why did he dare to buy so many properties at the threshold of a six billion market value?
It's simple, because Paramount's new movie "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" will be released on the 24th.

This movie's box office performance is definitely not going to be bad, and Georgio Moreno has already learned from the president of Paramount that "Indiana Jones" has secured 92% of the theater screenings in the United States.

This scale is undoubtedly enormous.

Another crucial point is that "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" will be released simultaneously in more than 20 countries worldwide, including major European markets such as Great Britain, France, and Germany, as well as Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.

There is no doubt that the film's North American and global box office will explode in the coming week.

In other words, whether Paramount can succeed or not really depends on the movie "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade".

Almost everyone in Paramount's management team was full of confidence in the film.

As a result, Geor Moreno also became interested.

This is one of the reasons why he was willing to buy a large number of Paramount shares at the critical point of its market value of six billion.

"I wonder how much profit a billion dollars will bring me with this investment?" he thought to himself.

But this also requires ensuring that he can actually invest all of those one billion dollars.

While Redstone and a large number of retail investors were selling off their shares, and Goldman Sachs and GeoMoreno were buying up large quantities, Wang Jianchao was also keeping an eye on Paramount's stock price.

"The stock price has fallen sharply. Paramount's market value has now dropped to 5.6 billion. Should we still sell?"

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Wang Jianchao decisively stopped the sell-off.

After the Qingming Festival, he took out another two hundred million US dollars and invested it all in Paramount stock.

He felt that this stock would definitely bring him good luck.

However, the stock price has remained relatively stable for the past month or so.

"We'll start buying heavily when its market value drops to 5.5 billion." (End of Chapter)
