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

November 1989, Wolfsburg, Germany.

"Have we met somewhere?"

Bailey suddenly spotted a girl ahead and excitedly went up to strike up a conversation.

The girl who was approached, Polisovel, was startled and ran away quickly.

It's not really fair to blame Polly for being so scared.

She was already exhausted from the hardships of the past few months of wandering with her father, Sower.

Even though the Thorwell family had settled down in Wolfsford, Polly was still afraid of running into people she had encountered on her previous escape.

Especially this Barraed, he used to be a man who dared to kill.

Therefore, Polly was even more afraid and naturally did not want to have any contact with the other party.

Polly ran home and told her parents what had happened.

Thorwall was furious when he learned of this.

Previously, when he was on the run, he didn't want to have any contact with people like Balad, for fear of being implicated.

But the situation is different now; Wolfsburg is relatively stable and there aren't as many problems.

Therefore, Sower is naturally not afraid of trouble.

He now sees hope in life and is even less willing to let scum like Balad ruin his family's life.

As the head of the family, Sower had to stand up.

When he came out, he happened to see Bailey.

The latter saw the fruit knife in Sower's hand and immediately laughed:
"Sir, you can't beat me."

"But what I want to tell you is that I like your daughter Polly. I know her name. I like her and I want to marry her. Can you let me have a proper talk with her?"

Sower was furious:

"Impossible! You absolutely cannot see her! If you dare to bother my family again, I'll kill you!"

Bailey said that if he hadn't helped them along the way, the Sower family would have died on the road long ago.

And he's not a bad person; your family will find out later.

And so, Bared left, but Sower remained uneasy.

Two days later, Barry continued to follow Polly at a distance without doing anything out of line.

Until this day, a news report made the Sower family ecstatic.

The checkpoint has been opened, and the family can return to their hometown.

"No, no, no, we can't go back now. Let's wait a few months."

The Sower family did not return to their hometown, but Bailed went back without hesitation.

As time went on, even Wolfsburg, which is a bit far from Berlin, gradually saw many Germans coming from the east.

These people all share a common characteristic: like Sower and Bailey before them, they are all emaciated and pale.

More than half a month later, Balad returned, this time bringing his relatives and friends with him.

They all plan to settle in Wolfsburg.

Furthermore, Barry brought his sister to contact Polly, hoping to reconcile their past grievances.

*********
Comcast Headquarters, Tupelo, Mississippi, USA.

"Our company's stock seems to be rising recently. Could something unexpected have happened?"

Ralph Roberts sat at the head of his office, looked at the executives, and frowned.

Comcast, a company listed on NASDAQ in the United States, has always enjoyed smooth sailing.

In recent years, their company has successively invested in many companies, expanding its scale and gradually developing and growing in the industrial field.

However, in terms of market capitalization, perhaps due to the impact of the 1987 stock market crash, Comcast's stock price has not been able to rise.

However, things seem to be different now.

"I consulted with my colleagues at Goldman Sachs, and they all said that no one has bought Comcast stock recently, and there's no word of it in the market. It must be related to the recent computer war, right?"

At this point, a senior executive in charge of financial operations said the following.

The CFO also shared his opinion at this time, stating that no abnormalities had been found.

However, there has been a lot of big news in the US computer market recently, which is probably closely related to this.

In November of this year, Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) launched another computer sub-brand, Maizi Computer.

This Maizi computer is an affordable computer, priced almost the same as Walsin Technology's Alienware computer.

In the United States, they registered a company called Wheat America Computer Company.

This also shows that Wheat Computer Company has learned its lesson this time.

They are almost following the same path as Walsin Technology.

Since Mac Computer went public, the entire US computer market has been reshaped.

The existence of alien computers had already caused considerable trouble for companies like Apple.

Now, another computer company with incredibly low costs has entered this market.

They've practically beaten their brains out.

But what does the change in the computer market have to do with Comcast?

There really is a connection!
Comcast entered the communications field by acquiring a US mobile communications network company last year.

As a company with mobile networks spanning several states, the number of users joining the network will increase as the number of computers grows.

The market is optimistic about internet-related companies, so it's normal for their stock prices to rise.

After some discussion, Comcast executives, led by Ralph Roberts, dropped the matter.

However, they were unaware that danger was approaching.

In Manhattan, New York, Wang Jianchao chats with Zheng Baoyin and others on an internet communication channel.

"Comcast's stock price has gone up. Should we speed up the acquisition?"

Lee Evra refused outright:
"Don't do that, or you'll expose us."

"Li, we've already deployed so many financial companies to acquire stocks, how could we possibly be exposed?"

Wang Jianchao was puzzled, so Li Efra had to explain it to him.

Wang Duoyu wanted to completely acquire Comcast without being discovered by the major shareholder, the Roberts family.

In addition, and most importantly, we must not let the giants on Wall Street find out.

The last time Paramount acquired the company, it was because of the involvement of multiple parties that it was delayed for so long.

Moreover, if it weren't for the final use of a scheme, and the fact that Geor Moreno also held a portion of the shares...

Otherwise, whether the acquisition of Paramount will be successful remains to be seen.

Once the acquisition of Comcast is successful, the final piece of the Want Want Group's business empire will be complete.

Therefore, from this perspective, the acquisition of Comcast is of great significance to Want Want Group and cannot be lost.

This is a strategic plan, so it naturally requires utmost caution.

This is a far cry from the previous acquisitions of Hollywood giants MGM and Paramount.

The market value of each of Hollywood's giants has increased to varying degrees.

That's why The Walt Disney Company asked for $12 billion before.

Throughout 1989, among the Hollywood giants, Warner Bros. merged with Time Magazine to become Time Warner, Paramount was acquired by the Burns family, MGM was acquired by European capital, and Columbia was acquired by Sony.

Further back, 20th Century Fox was acquired by Rupert Murdoch of News Corporation.

Of the eight major Hollywood studios, only three remain: Universal Studios, United Artists, and Walt Disney Company. For the time being, there is no risk.

However, Universal Studios is now being eyed by Japanese conglomerates, with Panasonic targeting Universal Pictures, including assets such as Universal Studios theme parks.

Therefore, in recent years, the eight major Hollywood studios have been targeted by major capital firms.

While the Walt Disney Company appears to be as stable as a rock, it is actually fraught with danger.

The offer of $12 billion may seem outrageous, but in reality, it's a signal that the company is rejecting the acquisition.

Which company would dare to put up $12 billion in real money to acquire a Hollywood animation company?

Moreover, this offer does not even include assets like Disneyland.

At this point in 1989, the company owned two major assets: Disneyland in California and Tokyo Disneyland in Japan.

Therefore, if we include these two theme parks, then an acquisition price of $12 billion is definitely impossible.

"By the way, Bao Yin, why did Uncle Jiu acquire Comcast instead of 20th Century Fox or Disney?"

Just then, Wang Jianchao suddenly asked another question.

Some time ago, Zheng Baoyin and his team returned to Guangzhou to report to Wang Duoyu.

Several acquisition targets were offered, but Wang Duoyu ultimately chose Comcast.

Furthermore, after acquiring Comcast, they can acquire a number of smaller businesses and then develop Comcast into a larger company.

How would I know what my uncle was thinking?

Zheng Baoyin rolled his eyes.

Wang Duoyu's idea was actually very simple: in the original timeline, Comcast Group had developed very well.

In 2014, this company acquired Time Warner Cable, the second-largest cable television operator in the United States, for $452 billion.

Furthermore, it ranked thirty-first in the 2017 Fortune 500 list of American companies.

Comcast ranked eleventh in the 2017 list of the world's most profitable companies, published in 2018.

Comcast ranked 27th on the 2020 Forbes Global 2000 list.

These three sets of data alone are enough to show that Comcast's development in the original timeline was indeed divinely aided, and its momentum was quite formidable.

Therefore, even if we only refer to the development path of the original timeline, acquiring Comcast would not only complete the puzzle of Want Want Group's business empire, but also generate a lot of profits.

Wang Duoyu's current plan is to completely acquire this company, and then gradually acquire other companies to make it stronger and bigger step by step.

Because the Comcast Group in the original timeline embarked on a path of mergers and acquisitions after 1988.

So we can just let this company take this route.

Wang Jianchao and his team didn't know what Wang Duoyu was thinking, nor did they need to know; they only needed to carry it out.

There are many things that Wang Duoyu doesn't know how to explain in a way that will make them understand better.

But execution is enough.

Besides, there were several acquisition proposals that Zheng Baoyin and his team had put forward before, including Disney, Viacom, and 20th Century Fox.

How to acquire it?

There was absolutely no other way, so we could only choose Comcast, acquire it, and then let it acquire and merge with other companies to gradually expand.

Acquiring either Disney or 20th Century Fox in one fell swoop would come at a huge cost, which is unnecessary.

"So, should we continue to gradually absorb small amounts?"

Upon hearing Wang Jianchao's question, O'Brien replied:

"This is the only way. If we go to Comcast's minority shareholders now, we're likely to expose ourselves. If word gets out, it will be very difficult for us to buy more shares at a low price on the stock market."

"Let's proceed according to the original plan. We'll gradually absorb the shares. Once we reach 35% or more, we can start negotiating with minority shareholders about a share buyout."

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

Given Comcast's current stock price fluctuations and the current market conditions, this is the only way things can go.

"December is almost here, and January will be here in no time. How are your preparations for the year-end summary meetings going?"

Suddenly, Dylan Dario spoke up with a smile and asked.

The annual year-end summary meeting is a meeting that all senior executives must attend.

However, not everyone can participate.

For example, the heads of families like the Winsters and Burns, or their management, are not allowed to attend the year-end summary meeting.

This matter will be handled by Lee Efra and other relevant management personnel.

For Dylan Dario, who is able to participate in such an event, he naturally needs to prepare in advance, and he also needs to perform well.

Otherwise, if there's a good opportunity to make money next time, no one will take him along.

"It's too early to talk about this now. December isn't even over yet, no rush!"

Fuller Carson said with a chuckle, but Zheng Baoyin retorted:
"You know what, it's a bit rushed. This year's Spring Festival is on January 26th, and I heard from my uncle that he needs to go to Beijing before the Spring Festival. So the year-end summary meeting will most likely be held in early January, and at the latest, it must be held before January 10th."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianchao couldn't help but gape in astonishment:

"Is it going to be this early this year? Looks like I need to make some arrangements and get my staff ready in advance, otherwise we'll be in a real mess."

Lee Evra, O'Brien, Allen Costa, Wang Lichuan, Dylan Dario, and others all said they also needed to prepare in advance.

Reinhard Monroe stated even more bluntly:
"Then I should prepare in advance even more."

"Of course you do!"

Wang Jianchao also said with a smile:

"There are also Shuncai Fund, Fidelity Capital, Saxo Bank, and a few others; you should also get ready."

As head of quantum technology, Rheinhard Monroe is not only responsible for the company itself, but also for Daimler-Benz.

The company's global performance and profits are also a key focus for Wang Duoyu.

After all, Mercedes-Benz has very good revenue every year, and its profits are even better.

Similarly, Yabo Fein, the head of Shuncai Fund, needs to pay attention to the profitability of his own fund.

He also needs to pay attention to the revenue and profits of his subsidiary, BMW.

Zhou Qirui, head of Fidelity Capital, also has a subsidiary, Audi.

Other companies, such as Saxo Bank, also need to understand the relevant situation of their subsidiaries and then report on it.

So many companies need to follow up, and the Spring Festival is just around the corner, so everyone is quite nervous.

Given the current situation, it's still necessary to prepare in advance, otherwise it's easy to find yourself in a chaotic situation.

After all, Want Want Group has acquired quite a few companies in the past year or two.

Daimler-Benz, BMW, Audi, MGM, Paramount, and other companies are all major players.

If we're going to be serious about it...

Then, even more American companies bought up stocks at the bottom of the market at the end of 1987 and the beginning of 1988.

Coca-Cola, ExxonMobil, AT&T, Boeing, etc.

Of course, these are just bargain-hunting shares, financial investments. We simply hold the shares and do not intend to completely acquire them or sell them in the short term.

With more acquired companies, business naturally becomes busier.

Fortunately, although the management team is large, it does not appear bloated.

And because the connection is based on mutual interests, no unexpected events have occurred so far.

They chatted for a while longer before ending the meeting.

By the end of November, Wang Duoyu had been in Guangzhou for almost half a month, nearly a month.

To be honest, in Harbin, you can only stay indoors because it's warm and cozy inside.

But it's really cold outside.

It's different in Guangzhou; even in winter, the temperature is very warm and comfortable.

Very comfortable.

Wang Yifei, Li Shumin, Wang Junkang, Lu Yuexin, and the other children don't want to go back to Harbin; they prefer to stay in Guangzhou.

Because they're used to snow, they're not that obsessed with things like snowball fights.

In Guangzhou, they can go out and play every day and see many flowers, plants and trees.

But in Harbin, it's all white, and when you finally see trees, they're all bare, without a single leaf in sight.

Since the children preferred staying in Guangzhou, Wang Duoyu wasn't in a hurry to return to Harbin.

Anyway, he didn't have any teaching duties at Harbin Institute of Technology. As for the monthly math sharing session, he just happened to use the video call technology developed by Harbin Institute of Technology, which was the latest in fiber optic technology and information technology, to conduct tests.

In other words, he set up a blackboard in Guangzhou and shared and taught in front of the camera.

You can see it in the tiered classrooms of the Harbin Institute of Technology's teaching building.

If all else fails, you can record it in advance and then bring the video back to Harbin Institute of Technology for playback.

If any problems arise, they can be resolved immediately by phone.

Of course, video calls or face-to-face communication would be the best option.

Before you knew it, it was December, and Wang Duoyu planned to return to Harbin.

At the same time, a message was sent to Zheng Baoyin and the others, requiring them to all return to Harbin on January 3rd for the year-end summary meeting.

"1989 is finally coming to an end, and 1990 is just around the corner. Time really flies!"

Wang Duoyu sighed.

In early to mid-November, a major event occurred in Europe.

All levels are now open!

Originally, Bailey, Sower, and others who stayed in the area east of the checkpoint have all come to the more affluent Wolfsford and other places.

It seems like a very ordinary news story.

After all, there are refugees every year, and each year is different. But this year's refugees are very different.

The moment the checkpoint opened, the eyes of the entire world were drawn to it.

Wang Duoyu had always said that the four years from 1989 to 1992 were a great era.

There is some truth to that.

On the surface, the events of this year have been uneventful, as if something had happened, yet nothing had actually occurred.

For example, Mevlüt specifically sought out Lü Yangui to promote the S27 fighter jet.

For example, Motorola has also been targeting companies affiliated with Harbin Institute of Technology, such as Zhuoyue Technology.

And in November, the checkpoints were reopened.

It seems that this has no impact on Wang Duoyu or Want Want Group.

In fact, the impact was significant.

After seeing this news, Kang Yumin came to Harbin Institute of Technology again to find Wang Duoyu.

When they couldn't find it, they made a special phone call to Wang Duoyu.

In fact, Kang Yu-min and the others did not know that Daimler-Benz and two other German car companies had been acquired by the Want Want Group.

But Kang Yumin and his colleagues knew that the Want Want Group had paid a huge 'price' for these three car companies to choose to open joint venture factories in Harbin.

Therefore, Kang Yumin is worried that these three joint venture car companies will 'flee' Harbin.

Then he returned to Europe.

For Harbin, the losses would be enormous.

On December 3rd, a major event occurred in Malta.

Wang Duoyu returned to his home at Harbin Institute of Technology two days later and only then saw the news on CCTV's evening news program.

"Heh, so it's George Bush."

At dinner time, Wang Duoyu saw Gorbachev on the television screen and couldn't help but smile.

Our neighbor shook hands with George Bush.

It appears to be a state of equality.

Not really!

"Soon."

"Dad, what's coming soon?"

Just then, Wang Yifei tilted her head back, her cute little expression filled with confusion, but a smile still lingered on her lips.

Wang Duoyu patted the little guy's head:

"It's nothing. Don't eat too fast, but don't eat too slowly either. Chew about thirty times."

"How many is 'thirty-something'?"

"Show me your little hand."

"No, Dad, you're going to hit me again. I don't want to."

Seeing the little brat's expression, Wang Duoyu was both amused and exasperated, while Liu Xiaoli beside him laughed heartily:

"So you can't fool kids anymore, can you? My daughter's smarter; she shouldn't pay any attention to your dad, okay?"

However, Wang Yifei shook her head and said:
"No, I'll play with Dad. If I reach out my hand, you won't hit me, will you?"

The little brat has grown up and become smarter.

"Okay, I'm not going to hit you. I just want you to count to see what thirty is. Come on, Daddy will teach you."

Happy times fly by.

December 8th arrived in the blink of an eye; it was Wang Junhong's ninth birthday.

In the blink of an eye, the child is already nine years old.

Looking back, this child was just born, a tiny little thing.

They've all grown into handsome young men.

After his birthday, Wang Duoyu ended his vacation and started working again.

Although he doesn't spend all his time with his children or fishing during his holidays.

Occasionally, I also take some time to read books and complete some relatively simple theoretical research projects.

However, once he gets back to work, many activities are canceled, and even the time he spends with his children is shortened.

Especially with New Year's Day and the Spring Festival just around the corner, he needs to devote more time to his work rather than spending time with his wife and children.

December 10th, Harbin, Yanjiagang Airport.

A bald man who looked to be in his thirties or forties was carrying a package and preparing to board a plane to Tokyo.

The flight he was on was operated by China Northern Airlines, but the bald man was stopped by staff when he went through security.

Firearms are not allowed on airplanes.

"I have a gun license, why can't I bring it on the plane?"

The bald man immediately became angry.

"Hello sir, our airline has a rule that all passengers are prohibited from carrying firearms on board."

The staff member explained with a smile.

But how could the bald guy possibly listen?
So he kept arguing until he was repeatedly rejected by the staff. Then, he suddenly became emboldened and picked up a pistol, ready to take action.

Just then, a retired military officer appeared behind him, who had been staring at the bald man.

Seeing that the bald man was about to make a move, the retired officer immediately stepped forward and subdued him in no time.

At this moment, Wang Junhong, who was also waiting in line for security check, clapped his hands.

Passengers and security personnel who were watching applauded, and some even contacted the airport police station to have the bald man taken away.

This was originally a small matter.

Because such things were not uncommon in China during that period.

That evening, while Wang Duoyu was having dinner, Wang Junhong called from Hainan Island in the south and talked to his mother, Liu Xiaoli, about the matter, which immediately made the former frown.

Wang Junhong is going to Hainan Island for a week of trial training, where he plans to learn new aircraft piloting techniques.

There are such planes in Harbin, but Hainan Island is clearly a better option.

However, the fact that he could encounter such a thing before boarding the plane made Wang Duoyu even more worried.

After dinner, Wang Duoyu made a phone call to Yan Daowen.

"Leader Yan, are you busy?"

"Professor Wang, I'm not busy, please go ahead."

Yan Daowen said respectfully on the other end of the phone.

Even if he were truly not busy at the moment, he would have to stop unless it was an extremely urgent matter.

After all, Wang Duoyu rarely called him on his own initiative.

Since the other party is calling him now, it means there must be something wrong.

"Well, I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Wang Junhong just mentioned his experience at Yanjiagang Airport today, which has made Wang Duoyu even more uneasy.

The arrival of a great era certainly made him think a lot.

In fact, he had made suggestions to his superiors more than once in the earlier years.

Recover as many firearms as possible.

However, Lü Yangui and his group were quite short-sighted and did not take this matter seriously.

Wang Duoyu was also quite helpless.

Some things you have to go through to the point of heartbreak before you finally realize their truth.

Otherwise, they will never know how to repent.

After ending his call with Yan Daowen, Wang Duoyu called Kang Yumin.

He made a suggestion to the latter, hoping that the other party could compile all the gun-related cases that had occurred in recent years, as he would find it useful.

Upon hearing this, Kang Yumin immediately understood what this man was trying to do.

"Professor Wang, has something happened?" Kang Yumin asked cautiously.

If something hadn't happened, Wang Duoyu would never have bothered with such a trivial matter, given how busy he is.

“Secretary Kang, if something really has happened, then I won’t just call you, I’ll fight to the death with a gun.”

"It can't be that bad, it can't be that bad."

You could feel Wang Duoyu's anger over the phone, and Kang Yumin forced a smile.

"You only care about economic development, completely disregarding the lives of ordinary people, and you haven't addressed the safety issues at all!"

"If one day I'm held a gun to my head again, it will be too late for anything you want to do."

Wang Duoyu's words left Kang Yumin with nothing but forced smiles.

To say that Kang Yu-min didn't pay attention to safety issues would be a gross injustice.

What kind of place is Ice City?
This is the most economically developed city in the country.

Foreign-invested enterprises and joint ventures are countless.

Therefore, Harbin does a very good job in terms of public security.

"Hehe, Secretary Kang, you say you've done a great job, but let me ask you, what happened six months ago when one of our Want Want Group's managers was robbed and murdered on the street?"

"And there's this associate professor at Harbin Institute of Technology, who was attacked in broad daylight."

"You're telling me the security work is going very well? I really don't know how you can lie so blatantly."

Kang Yu-min: "."

This is so hard for me!

Compared to other cities like Guangzhou, Harbin has indeed done a very good job in terms of public security.

Wang Duoyu was still very dissatisfied with this, and today he suddenly confronted him.

This left Kang Yu-min completely baffled as to what was going on.

After Wang Duoyu's sarcastic remarks and the phone call ended, Kang Yumin made a call to arrange for someone to investigate what had happened.

More than an hour later, Kang Yumin finally learned the whole story.

So this is the bald man's attempted attack at the airport today, and Wang Duoyu's eldest son, Wang Junhong, witnessed the whole thing.

Overprotective of his son, Wang Duoyu was afraid that his son would encounter a similar situation again, so he actually called him to complain.

Kang Yu-min was both amused and exasperated, but at the same time, he felt a wave of fear.

Wang Duoyu's eldest son, Wang Junhong, is only nine years old, but he is quite intelligent and has been learning to fly for several years. He even attended a lecture held by his father in July of this year.

Such high-level mathematics lectures are generally incomprehensible to the average person.

Although Kang Yumin didn't know whether Wang Junhong could understand.

However, he knew that everyone who could attend Wang Duoyu's report meeting had to pass an assessment, and only those who passed the assessment were allowed to participate.

Of course, professors, doctoral researchers, and others who receive invitations are not required to take the assessment.

Therefore, regardless of the circumstances, since Wang Duoyu allowed his eldest son to attend the report meeting, he must have been subject to evaluation.

Otherwise, if you can't understand it at all, then sitting in the auditorium would be torture.

Besides, even a typical nine-year-old child might not be able to sit still for that long and listen attentively throughout the lesson.

Therefore, this young boy, Wang Junhong, may indeed have some mathematical talent.

If something were to happen to such a child, Wang Duoyu would indeed regret it, while Kang Yumin and the other outsiders would only feel regret at most.

As a parent himself, Kang Yumin naturally understood Wang Duoyu's feelings.

However, they still felt that Wang Duoyu was making a mountain out of a molehill.

However, a few days later, a passenger plane that took off from Beijing and was bound for New York was involved in an accident.

The news reported the details, and after watching it on the evening news, Kang Yu-min was covered in cold sweat.

Just then, Wang Duoyu's phone rang.

"Secretary Kang, I wonder if you watched tonight's news broadcast?"

"I saw it, Professor Wang. I know I was wrong. Please tell me what we should do, and I will do my best!"

"How about this, Secretary Kang, are you free tomorrow evening? I'd like to invite you to dinner then, so we can sit down and talk face-to-face, how about that?"

"Okay, okay, no problem, I'm free, I'm free."

That's the decision.

Meanwhile, the news broadcast was still showing the story.

All the passengers on the plane were hijacked.

The plane made an emergency landing in Tokyo, Japan.

The matter is still being processed, and the specific solution is currently unknown.

Money is not important; in Wang Duoyu's view, the safety of personnel is the most important thing.

The following evening, Wang Duoyu treated Kang Yumin to dinner in a private room at the Harbin Institute of Technology cafeteria.

Of course, Kang Yumin didn't come alone; Zhao Guobin and Lin Runzhe also came.

Wang Duoyu also summoned Liu Deben and Lü Gongliang as his companions.

So there are a total of six people at this dinner tonight.

After five courses of food, well, no alcohol tonight. Wang Duoyu said he had important business to attend to and wouldn't drink.

As the main character of today's meal, Wang Duoyu's rules are the rules.

No one was really craving the wine, so they just ate the food.

"Secretary Kang, you all know the details of the hijacking of the passenger plane that was reported on yesterday's news broadcast, right?"

After putting down his chopsticks, Wang Duoyu stopped eating and got straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guobin and Lin Runzhe also put down their chopsticks.

As for Wang Duoyu's matter, they didn't think it was that serious.

Kang Yu-min had unspeakable suffering, and he could only nod without saying a word.

However, what Wang Duoyu said next left Kang Yumin and the other two speechless.

“I know it was really difficult to ask Secretary Kang and you to do that a couple of days ago.”

"So after thinking it over, this is what I came up with: the Want Want Group and Harbin Institute of Technology will take the lead in donating money to Harbin City to install CCTV cameras in all public places throughout the city, including train stations, airports, bus stations, bus stops, as well as highways, residential areas, parks, and other places."

"Yesterday I specifically spent time looking up the latest urban map of Harbin, and found parks and other related places. I calculated that all these public places would need approximately [number missing] CCTV cameras."

"The plan is to invest about 350 million RMB, which should be enough to cover everything."

"Of course, we need to add more police officers, and they must be engineers who understand computer technology, hardware repair technology, and so on. So, Harbin City needs to invest an additional three million RMB in this area every year."

"Our Want Want Group can afford the costs for the first two years, but the Harbin City government must appropriately reduce or exempt some taxes as compensation."

Liu Deben and Lü Gongliang were also dumbfounded.

Three hundred and fifty million RMB, you just hand it over like that?
And this is just to cover the entire main urban area of ​​Harbin with CCTV cameras?

How outrageous!

Previously, when Harbin Institute of Technology was filled with such closed-circuit television cameras, Liu Deben and his colleagues didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

After all, Harbin Institute of Technology is a university, and it has a lot of secrets.

Furthermore, given the numerous events that have occurred in the past, CCTV cameras can deter potential agents from taking action.

But does the city of Harbin really need to do this?

Besides, Wang Duoyu isn't in this line of work, so why waste money like this?
"Professor Wang, why are you doing this?"

Kang Yu-min smiled wryly:

"Spending such a huge sum of money won't actually have much of an effect on maintaining public order."

Wang Duoyu, however, had a different opinion:
"Secretary Kang, closed-circuit television is a new thing for ordinary citizens. They may be curious for a while, but they won't find it novel anymore. However, for bad people who want to cause trouble, it is a deterrent."

"Secondly, this investment is just the beginning. I will invest another sum of money, hoping that you can set up mobile patrol stations in places such as parks, especially around Harbin Institute of Technology. At least ten more of these patrol stations will be needed."

"Third, it is necessary to actively promote public security and the rule of law in all parts of Harbin city."

As Wang Duoyu continued to offer suggestions, the eyelids of Kang Yumin, Zhao Guobin, Lin Runzhe, Liu Deben, and Lü Gongliang kept twitching uncontrollably.

At the same time, a sense of curiosity arose in his heart: Doesn't Wang Duoyu seem too insecure?
It's easy to see from Wang Duoyu's suggestions that he purely wants to create a more harmonious and safe social environment for the entire city of Bingcheng.

Closed-circuit television is a huge investment, especially for mobile police patrol stations.

One is the Sky Eye system, and the other is on-site intervention.

Goodness, this really makes me feel insecure.

And how much does it cost to set up a so-called mobile police patrol station?

Want Want Group is very rich, but you can't spend money like this, can you?

Besides, didn't Wang Duoyu say he wanted to push forward with the Nantianmen Project?

With Wang Duoyu spending money like this, will Want Want Group still have any money left? (End of Chapter)
