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

January 5, 1990, on the island in the lake at the Weizigou campus of Harbin Institute of Technology.

The little girl, Wang Yifei, clung tightly to her father with both hands, her face still streaked with tears.

"Dad, I won't let you leave!"

Children over two years old are extremely dependent on their parents.

In addition, after she was born, Wang Duoyu almost never left her sight for several days.

Especially in the past year or so, the little girl has seen her father every day.

Wang Duoyu had always doted on her and was happy to play with her.

Today, Wang Duoyu wanted to go to Beijing on a business trip for about a week. Liu Xiaoli had a cold, and Wang Junkang also had a cold, so Wang Duoyu went to Beijing alone.

Well, that's where things got complicated; Wang Yifei is furious.

"Alright, alright, why don't you come to the capital with me?"

Forced into a corner, Wang Duoyu had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yifei's eyes lit up, but soon she looked at Liu Xiaoli, who was resting on the sofa not far away.

Road:
"But Dad, I don't want to be separated from Mom either."

"But your mother has a cold and hasn't gotten better yet, and she also has a runny nose. If she goes out, it might get even worse, so your mother can't come to Beijing with us. Now it's your turn to choose. Do you want to stay at home with your mother and brothers, or go to Beijing on a business trip with your father?"

The little one struggled for a while, then glanced at her father and mother.

Then she ran over, took her mother's hand, and said in a soft, gentle voice:
"Mom, be a good girl at home and take good care of yourself. Dad and I are going to Beijing on a business trip."

She's such a sweet little girl; she's so young, yet she already knows how to care for others.

Of course, this is because Wang Duoyu and Liu Xiaoli have given her enough education and care on a daily basis, which is why the little one has been influenced by this and learned a lot.

Liu Xiaoli feigned sadness:
"You won't stay with your mother. What will she do when she misses you?"

This sentence made Wang Yifei's CPU burn out.

A child who is only two years old certainly wouldn't know how to answer such an advanced question.

However, the little one followed her heart and suddenly went up and hugged her mother, saying, "Mommy, let me hug you now."

Therefore, even so, she was unwilling to stay with her mother and insisted on going to the capital.

And so, Wang Duoyu set off for the capital with the little guy.

A private plane landed safely in Tokyo, Japan.

After getting off the plane, Zheng Baoyin and Wang Jianchao left directly by car at the airport.

"I heard there was a hijacking incident in Tokyo last month, but I don't know how it was resolved in the end."

Recalling the flight from Beijing to New York in mid-December, Wang Jianchao couldn't help but chat with Zheng Baoyin out of curiosity.

"Who knows? Besides, this has nothing to do with us." Zheng Baoyin rolled his eyes and continued:

"With this time, we should prepare properly on how to short Japan next."

Two days ago, on January 3rd, Wang Duoyu presided over the Want Want Group's year-end summary meeting.

At the meeting, everyone first summarized the past year of 1989 and made plans for the coming year. Only at the end of the meeting did they mention the summary of the evacuation from Japan.

Want Want Group has invested more than US$50 billion in Japan, and with the added value, its total assets exceed US$100 billion.

It took more than half a year to completely withdraw these assets.

After deducting taxes, loans, and handling fees, Want Want Group withdrew assets from Japan totaling US$46.7 billion in cash, as well as technology and equipment worth over US$35 billion.

When the $46.7 billion in cash was evacuated from Japan, it was evacuated in the form of gold, crude oil, minerals, and food.

For example, the Tokyo Suijin Group negotiated its shares directly with several major international buyers, including First Citibank, Wells Fargo, and Merrill Lynch, with Wells Fargo ultimately winning the bid.

After Want Want Group transferred its shares to Wells Fargo, it was required to receive corresponding value of grain, gold, and oil in New York, London, and the Middle East within half a month.

The United States is a major global food exporter, that much is undeniable.

London boasts the world's largest gold trading market, while the Middle East is home to numerous crude oil exporters, most of whom are members of OPEC.

Therefore, the delivery method required by Want Want Group was this straightforward and efficient.

$46.7 billion in cash may seem like a lot, but once you break it down, it's not that much.

Furthermore, with so many financial institutions and local banks under its umbrella, Want Want Group could easily hide them.

Furthermore, in addition to crude oil, grain, and gold, you can also request a share swap.

First Citibank, HSBC, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and other financial giants all hold shares in companies like Walmart, Target, and Comcast.

Even if they don't have them, they can quickly engage in swap transactions with companies that hold these shares.

Wouldn't it be much simpler to just swap the shares directly?

Some might ask, are companies like Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs blind?
Can't you see that the Japanese market is already too hot?

Don't you understand the principle that prosperity inevitably leads to decline?

Doesn't George Soros, the head of the Quantum Fund, have a similar theory of boom-bust investing?

We can't just say they didn't know, can we?

Of course I know, and I've even guessed it more than once.

However, not everyone can predict in advance; otherwise, so many financial giants wouldn't have collapsed every time a financial tsunami strikes.

Even today, a large amount of international capital continues to flow into the Japanese market, with far too much international hot money converging from all over the world.

Everyone believes that Japan is a good investment destination and that prices will definitely continue to rise in the future.

If it weren't for God's perspective, Wang Duoyu wouldn't have left either.

Even though Zheng Baoyin and his team had complete trust in Wang Duoyu, they were still terrified when they heard that he was going to short-sell Japan.

This time is completely different from the 1987 stock market crash.

The whole world is hyping up the Japanese market, and everyone knows that Japanese companies are very competitive globally.

For example, companies such as Panasonic, Toyota, and Sony, especially Panasonic and Sony, the former is in talks with Universal Studios to acquire all of Universal Studios' assets, including its theme parks and MCA Television Group.

Sony, on the other hand, successfully acquired Columbia Pictures last September.

On the other hand, Mitsubishi Estate of Japan spent two billion US dollars to acquire fourteen skyscrapers in Rockefeller Center in downtown New York City.

This was one of the largest real estate transactions in the world at the time.

Japan's global buying spree reached its peak in the early 1990s.

Meanwhile, the Nikkei index has also surpassed the 38944 level that Wang Duoyu had previously predicted.

Almost everything points to Japan continuing to prosper, and it's only a matter of time before it surpasses the United States.

Of course, after taking office, Sosuke Jino was also actively preparing.

We need to burst Japan's current economic bubble.

Capital giants such as First Citibank, Quantum Fund, Goldman Sachs, and Merrill Lynch were naturally aware of this, but they did not believe that Sosuke Jino and his team could truly contend with the international capital trend.

Most importantly, Wall Street capital does not believe that the zaibatsu (financial conglomerates) such as Mitsubishi, Mitsui, and Fuji, which are represented by Sosuke Shino, would dare to swindle them.

Furthermore, Wall Street capital, wanting to maximize profits, certainly wouldn't want to exit at this time.

"To be honest, I feel this time it's a bit difficult. If leverage is used, it's very easy to get liquidated."

Upon hearing Wang Jianchao's words, Zheng Baoyin replied irritably:
"Who told you to increase leverage right from the start? Couldn't you have increased it gradually?"

"Alright, let's go back to our accommodation and get some rest. We'll discuss it online tomorrow."

They weren't the only ones shorting Japan this time.

Lee Evra, Fuller Carson, O'Brien, Dylan Dario, and others will arrive in Tokyo at other times.

Prior to this, they would also send their trusted aides to Tokyo to make arrangements.

Remote control is no problem for them at all.

With the advancement of internet communication technology, their communication has become much simpler.

The next day, representatives dispatched by Zheng Baoyin and his team arrived at the headquarters of Japanese banks such as Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Mitsubishi Bank, Yokohama Bank, and Mitsubishi Bank to discuss loan matters.

Yes, Zheng Baoyin and his associates still habitually use loans to short-sell Japan.

There is no better way to invest in the world than using other people's money to make money.

In Japan today, although monetary policy is gradually tightening, it only applies to mortgage loans; commercial loans remain relatively loose.

Moreover, the influx of large amounts of international capital into the Japanese market has exacerbated the involution of competition among Japanese domestic banks.

So it's really great that Zheng Baoyin and his team sent representatives from the financial company to discuss the loan.

After securing the loan, Zheng Baoyin and his team could then leverage their investments through banks such as Merrill Lynch, HSBC, Bank of America, Barclays, Santander, and others.

Wall Street's financial giants love playing this kind of betting game.

Of course, it doesn't necessarily have to be Wall Street giants; you can also look to major Japanese banks, as well as other banks.

Global capital investment in the Japanese market is very large, so there is no need to worry about no one taking Zheng Baoyin's short-selling orders.

While Zheng Baoyin and his team were busy working on shorting Japan, Wang Duoyu had already arrived in Beijing.

"Sisi, you can play hide-and-seek with your uncles at home. Daddy's going out for a meeting and he'll be right back, okay?"

"No, I don't want to leave you, Daddy, please take me with you!"

In the living room of No. 87 Zhongguancun West Street, Wang Yifei nestled in her father's arms, shaking her head and swaying, unwilling to leave.

At this moment, Wang Duoyu somewhat regretted bringing the child to the capital.

The little one is like a clingy pest; once she's attached to you, there's no getting rid of her. Of course, Wang Duoyu himself can't bear to part with her either.

He couldn't bring himself to do it, because the little kid was so adorable, and he, as her father, couldn't bear to leave her alone at home.

Although Mu Xiaowu and the others could help look after the child, they were all soldiers, and Wang Duoyu was still somewhat distrustful of them taking care of the baby.

"Then will you obediently listen to me?"

"Uh-huh!"

Wang Yifei nodded repeatedly, her big eyes brightening considerably.

Seeing how cute, well-behaved, and sensible she was, Wang Duoyu softened and agreed to her request.

Then we took a car and arrived at the Wenjin Street compound.

The guard on duty at the gate saw him come in carrying an adorable child. His expression remained unchanged, but his heart was in turmoil.

"Professor Wang, this is a key research area; you shouldn't have brought your child here."

"I know, but I have no other choice. Don't worry, I'll make arrangements and won't let her run around."

As a researcher, Wang Duoyu didn't want to set an example by breaking the rules of the research institution, since Wang Yifei wasn't a member of the institution.

Even though she was just a two-year-old child who didn't understand anything and couldn't possibly take away any confidential documents, rules are rules.

In an empty room next to the conference room, Wang Duoyu told the little guy to stay there, while Mu Xiaowu and the others would stay with him.

He was having a meeting in the conference room next door.

Kong Xiangyan, Chu Guibai, Zhang Jieqian, Yuan Shaowen, Wang Liheng, Li Yili, and Shen Shenpu were all waiting in the conference room.

Unbeknownst to everyone, Wang Duoyu had already brought his daughter with him.

Today's meeting is naturally closely related to the Kunlun Space Station in the Nantianmen Project.

Or rather, it's a discussion of technical feasibility.

In the original timeline, we formulated the manned space program two years later.

The plan that was decided at that time was a three-step approach.

The first step is to launch a manned spacecraft, establish a preliminary experimental manned spacecraft, and carry out space application experiments.

The second step is to break through the rendezvous and docking technology of manned spacecraft and space vehicles, and at the same time, use manned spacecraft technology to modify and launch a space laboratory.

The third and final step is to build a manned space station to address the issue of large-scale, long-term manned space station applications.

However, in this timeline, Wang Duoyu and his companions definitely didn't travel in this way.

The steps are similar, but technological breakthroughs, industry planning, and funding scale are all launched together, forming alliances and complementing each other.

So the situation is different.

About half an hour later, there was a knock on the conference room door, and Yuan Zuliang walked in with a strange expression, whispering something in Wang Duoyu's ear.

"Professor, your daughter wants your help."

Wang Duoyu was speechless. He could only apologize to Kong Xiangyan and the others before getting up and going to the next room.

"Sissi, haven't you already learned to use the toilet by yourself? Why do you still need Daddy to help you?"

"Because I miss my dad."

As she spoke, the little girl cheered and hugged her father tightly.

Holding the little one in his arms, Wang Duoyu felt guilty. He was everything to the child now, and the child would definitely miss him as soon as his attention was diverted.

But his world is certainly not entirely about the little guy.

Ugh!
"Sweetie, why don't you play this board game with the uncles, play with these building blocks and toys, or read a book? Daddy will come and play with you after he's done, okay?"

"Okay, goodbye Daddy."

Wang Duoyu smiled, waved, and walked out of the room.

That's good too. We can't hold meetings in the conference room all the time; we'll need to go to the bathroom or something eventually.

After all, holding in your urine isn't a good thing.

For the rest of the day, whenever there was a meeting, lasting no more than an hour and no less than half an hour, the little girl would always "remind" her father that she needed to go to the toilet.

Just like in school, there's a 45-minute class followed by a 10-minute break.

This is completely different from the previous meetings that lasted three hours, or even four or five hours in a morning.

Kong Xiangyan and the others finally understood why Wang Duoyu was acting this way; it turned out he had brought his daughter with him.

The next day, Kong Xiangyan and the others suggested that Wang Yifei could just play in the corner of the conference room.

Wang Duoyu: “.”

He felt that Kong Xiangyan and the others really liked Wang Yifei.

In addition, the child is only two years old, so it is indeed impossible for him to understand the contents of those meetings.

Moreover, Wang Yifei is Wang Duoyu's child. While others might leak secrets, the father and daughter are the least likely to do so.

Therefore, little Wang Yifei also 'participated' in the high-end technology conference.

Five days later, Wang Duoyu received a phone call from Fang Lihe informing him that the higher-ups finally had time.

So he took some time to meet with his superiors.

This time, Wang Yifei couldn't come along and could only stay in the guards' lounge with Mu Xiaowu and the others.

Inside the meeting room, Wang Duoyu met with the leaders.

"Respected leaders, this is a rough data report of Want Want Group in 1989."

After entering the conference room, the leaders exchanged a few pleasantries with Wang Duoyu before asking him to begin his report.

Wang Duoyu did not disappoint the leaders; the information he presented was truly impressive.

Throughout 1989, the Want Want Group's manufacturing subsidiaries, including Walsin Technology, Uma Garments, and Pandora, generated a total global revenue of US$21.48 billion overseas and a total domestic revenue of RMB5.291 billion.

In addition, the three German automakers acquired – Daimler-Benz, BMW, and Audi – together generated a total revenue of $16.7 billion and a total profit of $2.39 billion.

The leaders were already deeply impressed just by seeing this.

It turns out that Wang Duoyu has acquired all three of Daimler AG's car companies.

And judging from the current situation, it seems that he will be able to recoup all the funds he previously invested in the acquisition within a few years.

From now on, it'll all be a huge profit!

Not to mention that several companies founded by Want Want Group itself, such as Walsin Technology, exported so many products, generating a staggering revenue of US$21.48 billion!
But after the initial surprise, one of the leaders still smiled and asked:
"Professor Wang, while I acknowledge that your Want Want Group is very powerful, it's quite a stretch to support the annual investment of 20 billion RMB for the Nantianmen Project with just that."

Of the more than $20 billion in revenue, the profit was less than that of the three companies, Daimler and Mercedes-Benz, amounting to only $2.2 billion.

As for the revenue of 5.291 billion RMB in the domestic market, the profit from this portion is even smaller. Even if the profits of the three automakers Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi are included, the total profit is only 4.59 billion USD.

Based on the current USD/CNY exchange rate, 4.59 billion USD is equivalent to 18.3 billion CNY.

The exchange rate in the original timeline was 4.7, but in this timeline it is only 4.0.

Because of this time and space, domestic market prices rose rapidly, but with Want Want Group and Harbin Institute of Technology providing support, plus companies such as CITIC Securities, Yuexiu Group, and Shanghai Chengtou also investing overseas and bringing back considerable profits.

Therefore, the situation in China is relatively much better.

How could a profit of less than 20 billion RMB possibly be enough to invest in the Nantianmen Project?

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu smiled confidently and said:
"Sir, my confidence stems from my other preparations. Please see the second set of materials I've prepared for you."

The second document is naturally the profit statements of the numerous financial companies under Maple Leaf Holdings.

The Velociraptors Fund alone earned $8.7 billion in profit, while the other 56 financial companies combined made a total of $16.9 billion.

In total, that amounts to $25.6 billion.

Based on the current exchange rate, this is equivalent to 102.4 billion RMB.

hiss!
The leaders gasped in shock; global temperatures plummeted.

Their faces no longer held the calm and collected demeanor they had just displayed; they were no longer the composed figures who could remain unmoved even if Mount Tai collapsed before them.

Several leaders, after realizing what was happening, quickly stared into Wang Duoyu's eyes and asked in deep voices:
"Professor Wang, is the information in this document accurate?"

Wang Duoyu's expression turned solemn as he said:
"Of course it's true. I wouldn't go so far as to just make up a couple of documents to fool people, especially since you are my superiors. I would never do that."

"Is it absolutely true?"

"Yes, absolutely!"

Upon hearing this, several leaders glanced down at the documents in their hands again, then looked up sharply at Wang Duoyu:

"But this is unreasonable. Explain it to me in detail."

This is absolutely unreasonable!
Fifty-seven financial companies made $225.6 billion under the noses of numerous global capital entities.

And it goes unnoticed by other companies.

On average, each company would earn only $449 million.

In reality, Raptor Capital is the most powerful, followed by Maple Tree Capital, Summit Global, and a few other companies. The profits of other companies are only two or three hundred million US dollars.

Such profits would be common on Wall Street, at least 150 companies, if not 200.

Because after the stock market crash, the US dollar's quantitative easing accelerated.

Simply put, the total amount of global dollar base money is now greater.

In the early 1970s, before the US dollar was decoupled from gold, the total amount of the US dollar base money was only a little over 80 billion.

After decoupling, the US dollar was unleashed in a massive, uncontrolled flow of liquidity.

By the early 1980s, the total global dollar base money supply had exceeded $35 billion.

In the early 1980s, the interest rate on US dollar deposits was over 10%, reaching as high as 16%.

Simply put, if you deposit 10,000 yuan in a bank for a fixed term, you will earn 1,600 yuan in interest after one year.

In an era of high inflation and high unemployment, this is how the US dollar has been massively increasing its monetary policy.

It is now 1990, and the total amount of global US dollar base money has exceeded $800 billion, not far from $1 trillion.

The growth rate is terrifying; they're practically treating money like it's nothing.

The total money supply is increasing, and the amount of US dollars circulating globally is also increasing.

Wall Street capital certainly won't focus entirely on small financial firms like Fidelity Capital; they'll only be eyeing highly profitable companies like Raptor Capital, Maple Tree Capital, and Summit Global.

In particular, the Velociraptor Fund has an annual profit of $8.7 billion.

Even though it's not as profitable as the previous six months' $5.52 billion, it's still incredibly strong.

Unfortunately, the Raptor Fund has become so powerful that outsiders simply cannot touch it.

If you want to take action against it, you'll have to ask those local councilors who have been bribed with "gift money".

Besides, Wall Street capital has the Federal Reserve, and they also frequently buy government bonds, which offer very high returns and are guaranteed regardless of market conditions—far superior to the Raptor Fund.

Another point is that with the acceleration of the global economic wave, the Japanese economy has risen rapidly.

This has drawn a lot of attention from Wall Street capital, which naturally won't focus all its attention on the Raptor Fund.

In short, no company that manages to break through on Wall Street is weak.

In the original timeline, the reason why companies like Quantum Fund were able to rise to prominence was naturally because they had capital backing them.

Once they realized that the Velociraptor Fund couldn't be taken over by themselves, they could only let the other party make money for them.

Companies like the Quantum Fund, the Magellan Fund, and Berkshire Hathaway have issued a significant number of bonds or fund units.

The Velociraptor Fund will also begin private placements in the second half of this year, but will not issue many, as the Velociraptor Fund is not short of funds.

However, in order to ensure the stability of the Velociraptor Fund itself, it still needs to help those capital giants make money.

Once the Raptor Fund becomes a "worker" for Wall Street capital giants, they won't delve into so much detail anymore.

They might even cover up for the Velociraptors Fund.

After a long while, the leaders were still unable to recover from their shock.

In 1988, our fiscal revenue was only 300 billion RMB.

However, the financial company under Want Want Group earned a profit of 102.4 billion RMB in just one year.

This is equivalent to one-third of the fiscal revenue of the year before last.

Horror!
"Duoyu, it's not that I don't believe you, but are you really sure? Earning this much money in one year, isn't that the total profit you've made over the past few years?"

Suddenly, a leader asked another question.

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu smiled and shook his head.

"Boss, you really don't know me very well, and to put it bluntly, you know nothing about me!"

"I have said that I am a person who never lies, and I would never exaggerate in such a serious situation, in such a position concerning such an important decision!"

"These profits represent all the profits and revenue of our Maple Leaf Holdings' financial subsidiaries over the past year."

“I know the leaders don’t believe it, so I’m giving them a heads-up. Do you remember the profits that companies like Yuexiu Company, Shanghai Chengtou, and CITIC Securities made overseas after the 1987 US stock market crash?”

Wang Duoyu reminded him of that.

The leaders immediately realized what was happening.

Right!

Back then, these companies made a fortune overseas.

Yuexiu Company alone reportedly earned $2.5 to $2.6 billion at the time.

Other companies such as Bingcheng Bank, Jianghai Securities, and Shanghai Chengtou all earned profits exceeding two billion US dollars.

Even in Kunming, they earned $1.85 billion at the time.

They made a fortune.

"Duoyu, I know about this, but it was because of a stock market crash at the time, and no one expected it to be so severe. So, while we were surprised that you made so much profit, it's still considered normal, right?"

The leader asked curiously, and the other leaders nodded in agreement.

"But in 1989, the world was at peace."

"So you're saying that your Maple Leaf Holdings made $25.6 billion? To be honest, that's unbelievable and hard to believe."

It's not that the leaders insist on harping on this topic.

Rather, it's a case of those involved seeing things clearly while bystanders are confused.

why?
Two hundred and fifty-six billion US dollars is not two hundred and fifty-six dollars.

With such a high annual profit, equivalent to one-third of the national fiscal revenue in 1988, wouldn't anyone have some doubts?
"What the leader said makes sense."

Wang Duoyu said with a smile:
"That's why I came to the capital in person to report this matter to you. Otherwise, you certainly wouldn't believe me."

“Last November, after I finished my research work, Professor Qian Xuesen and his students happened to be at Harbin Institute of Technology. I met with Professor Qian and his team at that time, and I told them that I would definitely restart the Nantianmen Project and promised that I would definitely get the project started.”

"Before this, Fang Li and the leaders had also come to see me, but I was busy at the time, which is why the Nantianmen project was temporarily shelved."

"My idea is very simple: Want Want Group can completely bear all the costs required for the Nantianmen Project on its own."

"However, the Nantianmen Project is ultimately not my personal research project, so it needs to be approved by the state."

"Now that I've presented these two reports, the leaders might not believe them, but that's alright, I'll explain it to them clearly."

The next half hour.

Wang Duoyu then explained in detail to each of the leaders.

The key lies in the quantitative trading system used by the Raptor Fund.

This is the most crucial point.

But just as Wang Duoyu continued to explain, there was a knock on the door outside the conference room.

Everyone, including Wang Duoyu, disliked the knocking.

After the leader said "Please come in," a secretary and Yuan Zuliang walked in from outside.

Upon seeing the latter, Wang Duoyu immediately thought of his beloved daughter; something must have happened to her.

As expected, Yuan Zuliang cautiously approached Wang Duoyu and whispered something.

The leader next to him happened to hear this and couldn't help but laugh.

"Duoyu, your daughter is here too?"

The leaders present were very clear about Wang Duoyu's family situation.

He and Liu Xiaoli lived together, but they were not legally married.

However, Liu Xiaoli gave birth to three children for him, and together with Wang Junhong, born to his ex-wife Zhu Ling, his family has a total of four children.

The youngest of them is Wang Yifei's daughter.

The leaders had long heard that Wang Duoyu was a doting father to his daughter and a super dad—well, those were self-proclaimed titles by Wang Duoyu himself.

After all, Wang Duoyu used to be a writer, and the fact that he gave himself such a nickname is enough to show that he really cares for his daughter, Wang Yifei.

But unexpectedly, Wang Duoyu brought his daughter here as well.

The leader was immediately intrigued and thought he should take this opportunity to meet Wang Yifei.

"I'm sorry, leaders, I thought I could finish speaking within half an hour, but I didn't expect this," Wang Duoyu said apologetically.

But the leader waved his hand and said:
"It's alright, it's nothing. We should be the ones apologizing to you. It was our problem to begin with, otherwise you wouldn't have needed to explain so much."

"Come on, come on! I've heard your daughter is adorable. I want to go see her too."

Upon hearing this, the other leaders also stood up with smiles, and one of them even suggested bringing his child over.

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu was delighted but also somewhat helpless.

This was beyond his expectations.

Soon, a leader followed Wang Duoyu outside and saw Wang Yifei standing at the entrance of the security room.

The little one's eyes lit up when she saw her father, and then she pounced on him:
"Dad, can you go home now? I'm hungry."

"Eat a piece of candy if you're hungry."

After picking up the little guy, Wang Duoyu took out a piece of candy from his pocket, pointed at the leader, and told the little guy to call out to him.

"Hello, grandpa."

"Hey there! Are you hungry? Why don't you come over to Grandpa's? Grandpa has cookies and sachima (a type of Chinese pastry)."

The leader was very pleased to see the exquisitely beautiful Wang Yifei.

However, Wang Yifei shook her head:

"Thank you, Grandpa, but my dad said I can't eat just anything, or my teeth will get rotten."

Such a sensible and adorable girl is a rare find for any leader.

"It's cold outside, come on, let's go inside and talk."

Soon after entering the room, Wang Yifei was immediately liked and praised by the leaders.

I don't know why, but older people seem to enjoy teasing children.

Perhaps it's because children are the future flowers of the motherland, or perhaps young children are indeed adorable and very cute.

Regardless of anything else, the leaders were happy for quite a while after Wang Yifei came in.

Seeing that it was almost time, Wang Duoyu asked Wang Yifei and Yuan Zuliang to go out first.

"Okay, Dad, I'll wait for you next door. Goodbye, Dad, and goodbye, grandpas!"

The little guy has a very sweet tongue and is very sensible; he didn't make a fuss.

After the child left, Wang Duoyu continued to explain.

"To put it bluntly, quantitative trading systems are essentially the plundering of wealth from all trades. For example, high-frequency trading strategies may seem like we only earn a few cents or even a fraction of a cent each time, but in reality, this happens at least hundreds of millions, or even billions, of times every day in high-frequency trading."

"Given that their equipment is sufficiently advanced, their traders are highly sensitive to numbers, and their strategies are precise, financial institutions like Xunmenglong Fund can indeed dominate the stock, futures, and gold markets."

"Other competitors do not possess such capabilities, so we can only seize the majority of the market."

Hearing this, the leaders were basically convinced that Maple Leaf Holdings, under Wang Duoyu's control, could indeed earn so much profit.

One of the leaders put down the documents in his hand, looked at Wang Duoyu, and said:

"So, according to you, you plan to have Want Want Group fully cover all the funding needed for the Nantianmen Project, right?"

"Yes, and no!"

Wang Duoyu smiled slightly and said:
"If approved by the government, then Want Want Group is indeed capable and willing to bear this part of the cost."

"However, I'm worried that some people might disagree with me later on, which is one of my concerns."

"Furthermore, I would be very happy if the government were willing to cover part of the costs and provide a safety net."

"But no matter what, the Nantianmen Project must proceed according to my plan. Funding is the least of my concerns; the issues of researchers, technology, and other related matters are what I care about most."

The leaders nodded, but they did not give their decision, much less make any promises to Wang Duoyu right now.

But at that moment, Wang Duoyu suddenly held up three fingers and said:
"Next, I will state the third point, which is that we have withdrawn all the funds we invested in Japan, totaling US$46.7 billion in cash, and US$35 billion in technology, equipment, and other assets."

"Therefore, from this perspective, our Nantianmen Project has actually met all the conditions for its launch."

"Perhaps we still lack in terms of researchers, but I believe we're not far behind!"

hiss!
The leaders immediately stared blankly.

One of the leaders instantly lost his composure, muttering to himself, "There are other sources of income?"

The third point that Wang Duoyu made was even more unbelievable.

Cash revenue was $46.7 billion, while revenue from technology equipment and other sources reached a staggering $35 billion.

It's really horrifying!

Horror!
Although this is all economic growth dividend from Want Want Group's investments in Japan over the past few years, it is a one-time income.

However, such a large profit is still a huge sum, even with the vision, perspective, and shrewdness of the leaders.

He still couldn't maintain composure even when faced with a collapsing mountain.

After realizing what was happening, the leaders exchanged glances and then slowly began to examine the documents that Wang Duoyu had handed them.

Needless to say, another long silence followed.

Wang Duoyu felt helpless, but on the surface he smiled calmly and waited quietly.

After quite a while, the leaders finally finished reading the documents.

This third document had an unparalleled impact on the leaders.

Even after one of the leaders put down the documents in his hand, he couldn't help but ask:
"Duoyu, you don't have a fourth source of income, do you?" (End of Chapter)
