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

On March 26, 1990, CCTV's evening news program reported on the "Provisional Rules for Highway Traffic Management" at 7 p.m.

Actually, I had already briefly reported on this matter a few months ago.

And today, this provisional rule has been issued and implemented.

Currently, only the Shanghai-Jiading Expressway is open to traffic in China. The Binghe Expressway and the Shenyang-Dalian Expressway are not yet officially open to traffic.

Referring to the current provisional regulations for highways, most private cars are now subject to rules and cannot act recklessly.

Wang Jianchao and Zheng Baoyin both hoped that the Binghe Expressway could be opened to traffic quickly, but the project was only finalized in January 1986, and it is only March 1990 now.

It would be great if it could be opened to traffic before September this year.

The construction time for highways with high requirements and standards will naturally be much longer.

In April, Wang Duoyu returned from Beijing. Instead of going back to Harbin Institute of Technology, he went back to Dahonggou Village.

The Qingming Festival has arrived; it's time to come back and pay respects to our ancestors.

"Uncle Jiu, the Japanese economy is currently experiencing a severe downturn. The Nikkei index has fallen to the 35000 range, and judging from the current trend, it will continue to decline."

In Wang Duoyu's home in Dahonggou Village, the quiet room was completely devoid of the sounds of children playing outside; only Wang Jianchao's voice could be heard.

"Before we returned, Sosuke and his team issued several more policies to control lending and other aspects, and even monetary policy has been adjusted."

"It's almost foreseeable that Japan's economic downturn will continue, but it seems quite far from the economic crisis you mentioned, Uncle Jiu."

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu rolled his eyes and said:
"From 38900 to less than 35000 now, isn't this an economic crisis?"

If it weren't for Sosuke Jino and others actively bursting Japan's bubble economy, the bubble would have continued to expand.

Of course, if it weren't for Sōsuke Jino coming to power, and if Takeshita Noboru were still in office, then this bubble economy would have continued.

why?
Because the Plaza Accord was signed by the genius Takeshita Noboru, who took the initiative to approach the United States.

And they are very impatient.

He has a bit of a masochistic streak.

So how could Takeshita Noboru, who personally created Japan's economic boom from 1985 to 1989, possibly burst the bubble himself?

The reason why Sosuke and his group can see bubbles is because they are outsiders.

Takeshita Noboru and the others were insiders, so naturally they couldn't see through these things, and even if they did, they wouldn't admit it.

The Japanese stock market is currently falling, and the overall trend is downward, which is an economic crisis.

As the saying goes, a defeated army collapses like a landslide, but Sōsuke Jōno and his comrades still felt that the collapse was not fast enough or thorough enough.

Now, a large amount of international capital, including Wall Street giants, has reacted and is shorting the Japanese stock market.

Despite the difficulty, there are still many die-hards who firmly believe that the Japanese economy may still have a chance to rebound.

After all, these people who are dreaming of becoming landlords don't want to wake up; they just want to keep dreaming.

"Alright, Uncle Jiu, shall we take any further action?"

After hearing Wang Jianchao's words, Wang Duoyu pondered for a moment and said:
"We can recruit some researchers and geniuses from abroad. Companies like Huaxin Technology need such talent. We can also bring some trustworthy people to China."

"Red Star Group is currently facing a severe shortage of talent, especially in the field of materials science."

Zheng Baoyin, who was standing to the side, immediately said:
"Uncle, if that's the case, aren't you worried that these Japanese experts will leak the secrets?"

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Wang Duoyu raised an eyebrow and said:
“Their whole family moved here to China. If they had anything they couldn’t let go of, they definitely wouldn’t have come.”

"But if they've already come to the country, then it's up to me to decide what to do with them, isn't it?"

"As for leaking secrets? You need an opportunity to do that, and besides, don't they want to live?"

Besides these, Wang Duoyu naturally has many other ways to restrain this type of person.

For example, they could be offered positions as university teachers or trainers within the Red Star Group.

They are only allowed to teach the technology; they are not responsible for the research and development work.

In addition, Wang Duoyu will also dispel their worries, so that they don't need to worry about their disciples starving to death.

Hearing Wang Duoyu's words, Zheng Baoyin and the others nodded.

Just then, the sound of firecrackers came from outside, followed by the sound of crying.

Before long, someone came to knock on the door.

Wang Duoyu and the others had no choice but to pause the meeting and leave the study.

Once outside, I saw several crying children.

With more children in the family now, crying and fussing are normal.

Even Li Shumin, Wang Yifei, and the other children cry from time to time.

In short, if a little kid doesn't cry, then he's not a kid.

It's only after the child is four or five years old that they start crying less.

The next day, the Qingming Festival officially began.

The ancestral worship ceremony is relatively simple, and there is no possibility of finding the wrong grave or not being able to find the grave of the great-grandfather.

If it's a place in the south like Guangdong, Guangxi, or Hainan, then it's possible.

Anyway, Wang Duoyu had heard that every year during the Qingming Festival, in southern regions like Guangdong, there was a chance of a mix-up: worshipping the wrong ancestor.

In Harbin, it's impossible to worship the wrong ancestor.

"Dad, why are we visiting the grave?"

Standing before a grave, Wang Junkang watched as everyone bowed and paid their respects, and couldn't help but ask a question out of curiosity.

As a result, the eldest brother, Wang Junhong, answered his question:

"Because our ancestors are buried here."

At that moment, Wang Yifei opened her mouth wide, her face filled with disbelief:
"Huh? Why did you bury our ancestors? Don't they come home? Don't they need to eat?"

puff!

Everyone laughed so hard; children really do speak without thinking.

Liu Xiaoli quickly covered the little one's mouth, not daring to let her say anything more.

The ancestors' home is right here on the gravesite; which other home could he possibly return to?
In any case, not a single descendant dared to bring their ancestor back to their home.

After paying respects to this ancestor, Wang Duoyu and his group went to the other side to pay respects to the other patriarchs.

Finally, they arrived at a large tomb, where the scene was quite different.

The tomb occupies a large area and has a very good feng shui location with a wide view.

The Wang family has a large number of descendants, numbering well over a hundred.

However, this is the peak of their generation; in another ten or twenty years, they will begin to decline.

The era when couples like Wang Shoucheng and Wang Duozhi had seven or eight children is long gone.

Wang Duoyu has four children, three of whom are boys, which is quite rare.

Even in rural areas of the south, Wang Duoyu's family's setup would be considered quite formidable.

Crackling!

Fireworks and firecrackers, like bombs, resounded all around.

Thick smoke billowed into the air.

It seems that this Qingming Festival is almost over.

After paying respects to his ancestors, Wang Duoyu stayed in Dahonggou Village for two days before driving back to Harbin Institute of Technology.

"Duyu, when will this highway open? It looks like it's almost finished, right?"

Cars are driving on the highway, but some sections are not yet open.

When Liu Xiaoli brought this up, Wang Yifei wanted to look out the window.

"It should be done by the second half of this year, anyway, there's just some final verification work left."

Wang Duoyu said calmly.

A significant portion of the road has already been opened to traffic.

This road was built to make things easier for people, not to cause them trouble.

In the past two years, in addition to the Glacier Expressway, we can see that other places are also building expressways.

If Harbin wants to develop, it must build roads.

Harbin is currently the number one city in China, with abundant wealth and power.

Once the roads are open, not only will freight transport become more convenient, but the population will also be able to move into the cities on a large scale.

With a larger population, the pace of urban development can be accelerated.

A few hours later, Wang Duoyu returned to Harbin Institute of Technology.

Next, we need to prepare for the assessment.

The recruitment assessment for the magnetic plasma engine project will be held at Harbin Institute of Technology.

Once the staff is recruited, the project will be launched immediately.

The entire project will naturally be located in Harbin, and the project site has already been prepared.

In the suburbs of Harbin, Want Want Group built many similar residential units in the past two years.

Once it's built, we'll wait for the relevant authorities to move in.

A project with over 1,300 people would be a good fit for a medium-sized residential community.

Their families may come from all over the country, but they can all come here.

Since we all live together and are family, minimizing contact with the outside world is the best way to prevent leaks.

On the 9th, Wang Duoyu visited the Want Want Group headquarters office building, where Xue Lisheng reported on a lot of work to him.

This includes the matter of Want Want Group commissioning Great Wall Industry Corporation to help launch a commercial satellite, which has been successfully completed.

"Yes, very good. We will need to launch several more satellites later, and we can also entrust them with the assistance."

Upon hearing Wang Duoyu's words, Xue Lisheng nodded and wrote them down.

Want Want Group successfully acquired Comcast in January of this year.

After the acquisition was completed, Cedric Watson was appointed to manage the company.

And soon after, they launched a merger and acquisition plan.

Comcast did not have a satellite television network before, so it definitely needs one now, which means it needs to launch a commercial satellite.

In the United States, there are related commercial satellite launch companies, such as Pan Am Satellite and General Electric.

However, both companies charge very high prices for their satellite services.

Therefore, the best solution is to seek help from the Great Wall Industrial Corporation.

In any case, for American capital, profit is the most important thing, and everything else is secondary.

Even if they don't ultimately ask the Great Wall Industry Corporation for help with the launch, they can still use its influence to force Pan Am and General Electric to lower their prices.

In the business world, cost-saving is the key to enterprise production.

Motorola, Apple, Nintendo and many other companies have come to the mainland to build factories. There is no reason why Comcast would be targeted if it asked the Great Wall Industry Corporation to help launch commercial satellites.

It's worth noting that Asia Satellite Telecommunications Co., Ltd. also exists in Asia, providing services to many companies that need commercial satellites.

The two major shareholders behind this company are CITIC Group and General Electric Company.

"Is Want Want Group facing any difficulties right now?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Lisheng shook his head and said:

"There are minor issues, but we can handle them, so you don't need to worry about them."

"The first quarter report has been compiled. Do you want to look at it now, or should I send it back to you later?"

Today, Want Want Group is growing larger and larger, and its senior management team is also growing bigger.

Wang Duoyu would randomly select some companies' reports to review every month, quarter, or semi-annually.

The main focus is on surprise inspections.

As long as the reports are correct, Wang Duoyu won't worry about anything else.

Minor issues and imperfections are naturally acceptable.

But it's impossible for it to happen every time.

Therefore, Wang Duoyu does not want to see similar problems a third time in the course of business operations.

"I'll see now."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

After Wang Duoyu finished learning about the situation in the office, Xue Lisheng left.

Before long, Xue Lisheng personally delivered a large number of reports.

These reports include several companies such as Brabus Watch Factory, Walsin Technology, Maple Capital, and Velociraptor Fund.

The thickness of each company's financial statements varies.

For example, the Velociraptor Fund, a company based in the United States, has a large number of financial statements.

Therefore, Wang Duoyu needs to pay close attention during the review and examination process.

But it was clear that the people below dared not deceive them.

O'Brien and the other leaders were very clear about Wang Duoyu's abilities.

If anyone foolishly believes their financial abilities far surpass Wang Duoyu's and then tries to manipulate the financial statements, they are making a grave mistake.

After being tricked by Wang Duoyu several times, no one dares to do it anymore.

Even so, Wang Duoyu still takes the review process very seriously each time.

Want Want Group represents his money.

If his finances run into trouble, then his research projects may also run into problems.

A broken cash flow is no small problem.

Wang Duoyu absolutely would not allow such an accident to happen.

Therefore, we will pay closer attention to this aspect.

Half a day later, after the inspection was completed, Wang Duoyu personally called Allen Costa, the head of the Velociraptor Fund, and others.

"Allen, two of the reports you sent over have issues. These reports will be delivered to your office in the next day or two. Have your staff explain them to you then."

"After you've resolved this, you should report on the situation at the next senior management meeting."

In New York, when Allen Costa received Wang Duoyu's call, he bowed slightly in respect.

When he heard Wang Duoyu's reprimand, his face instantly darkened.

damn it!
The Velociraptor Fund is the most profitable company in Maple Leaf Holdings, so it is naturally given special attention by Wang Duoyu.

Allen Costa initially thought nothing would go wrong, given that the Raptor Fund had a large number of mathematicians.

These people are all mathematical experts with an exceptional sensitivity to numbers.

Unexpectedly, Wang Duoyu still caught him making a mistake.

He truly deserves to be called the world-renowned "Emperor of Mathematics"; such strength is indeed exceptionally rare.

"Yes, Professor, you are right. It is my responsibility and my negligence."

Ellen Costa quickly apologized and took the blame upon herself.

"I will handle this matter personally later."

On the other end of the phone, Wang Duoyu nodded faintly, gave a few more instructions, and then hung up.

In the following half hour, Wang Duoyu made several more phone calls to other responsible persons.

If there are problems, discuss them; if there are no problems, give some praise.

Clear rewards and punishments are essential for effective management.

After dealing with the Want Want Group's affairs, it was time for the assessment.

A large number of researchers from all over the country gathered at Harbin Institute of Technology.

Today, all the vacant teaching buildings in the school's colleges were used as examination rooms.

Actually, today is Saturday, and many colleges at Harbin Institute of Technology do not have classes, but some colleges still need to use classrooms, and some students need to use classrooms to study.

Not every student at Harbin Institute of Technology can secure a spot in the library.

Speaking of which, the library at the Weizigou campus has already been built to be quite large.

Each of the different book collection areas has a large study area.

Even the first and second floors of the library are study rooms.

As a result, the place was always packed, whether it was Saturday or Sunday or Monday to Friday.

It should be noted that the Weizigou campus has only been built for a little over five years.

It can only be said that Harbin Institute of Technology has a large number of students, and there are indeed many students who love to study.

Inside the office, Wang Duoyu raised an eyebrow as he listened to the report from the person in charge, Yang Xiuhua.

"You just said that 18,000 people came to take today's exam?"

so many people?

In total, only a little over 1,300 people need to be recruited.

Why are there so many people here?

And most people must have gone through a screening process within the organization before they can participate.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have come.

After all, no one wants to come along as a runner-up. They've traveled all the way to Harbin to take the exam, and even though Wang Duoyu will help cover their travel and accommodation expenses.

But if you're just there to make up the numbers, then there's no need for it.

Among these 18,000-plus people, the lowest level of education they have is a college undergraduate degree.

There are many students from Peking University, Fudan University, Tsinghua University, and other top universities, as well as a considerable number from Nanjing University, Sun Yat-sen University, Zhejiang University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and other similar institutions.

These people are among the best in their local area.

Now, people are coming to Harbin Institute of Technology, where ten people are competing for one position.

It's much harder than the college entrance exam.

why?
Although the college entrance examination admission rate is low, the students' academic levels vary greatly.

And none of the people who are taking the assessment right now are weak.

These people all fought their way through the college entrance examination and then went on to excel in master's and doctoral programs, demonstrating their exceptional overall competitiveness.

Therefore, the competition among more than 18,000 people for just over 1,300 positions is indeed extremely fierce.

"Yes, Professor, the exam has already started. According to your previous plan, it will be completed in two days, and the results will be announced within two days."

Wang Duoyu nodded upon hearing Yang Xiuhua's words.

"Okay, that's good. Thank you for your hard work."

Wang Duoyu can relax during the next two days of assessments, as the massive Harbin Institute of Technology can assist him in completing these tasks.

The school has so many counselors, lecturers, associate professors and full professors, and if all else fails, there are senior undergraduates, master's students and doctoral students.

Therefore, Wang Duoyu doesn't need to worry about so much.

The exam papers required for the assessment were all personally designed by Wang Duoyu. There were a total of five sets of questions, which assessed five aspects: mathematics, computer science, aviation technology, mechanics, and automation.

These are not the basics, but rather more advanced levels.

If they are master's or doctoral students, then in addition to this exam, they will also be assessed on their usual research achievements or papers.

These are all part of their overall competitiveness.

Whether a researcher is of average ability or not will be clear once they pass the assessment.

The magnetic plasma engine project led by Wang Duoyu requires high-end talent.

Since institutions like Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics and AVIC Group don't want to take over the project, fine, Wang Duoyu will lead a group of young people to develop it himself.

However, although these young people who came to participate were all 'high-end talents', they lacked experience and skills.

Therefore, Wang Duoyu could not be sure whether this group of people was feasible.

In the teaching building of the School of Mechanical Engineering at Harbin Institute of Technology, Kong Nanjie is writing furiously.

He was a test-taker from a small town. In 1982, he took the college entrance examination and was admitted to the Department of Mathematics at Peking University from the mountains of Guangxi Province.

Four years later, he entered Tsinghua University to pursue a master's degree in automation.

After graduation, he joined AVIC (Aerospace Industry Corporation of China), hoping to contribute his efforts to the country's aerospace industry.

However, after working for more than two years, he felt that his talents were not being utilized.

This time, Professor Wang Duoyu launched the Nantianmen Project, which is about to start the magnetic plasma engine project.

Therefore, after learning about the assessment requirements, Kong Nanjie found the career development direction he wanted and resolutely joined the assessment team.

But today, sitting in the examination room, Kong Nanjie realized that the questions Professor Wang Duoyu gave were truly bizarre.

The math exam was extremely difficult.

It's not entirely clear why Wang Duoyu requires everyone to have this kind of mathematical ability.

However, when Kong Nanjie thought about projects like magnetic plasma engines, he seemed somewhat relieved.

Perhaps it's just that his position requires him to complete a math exam of this difficulty level; other positions might not.

For example, some positions involving materials research and development certainly do not require this kind of mathematical ability.

The exam paper in Kong Nanjie's hand was even more difficult than the mathematics master's entrance exam he had taken years ago.

That was an exam paper from the Mathematics Department of Peking University.

Perhaps at Harbin Institute of Technology, having such mathematical ability is just a basic requirement?

Anyway, no one knows what Wang Duoyu is thinking, so Kong Nanjie can only complete the assessment first.

Unlike Kong Nanjie, a small-town exam-taker, Li Gongnong is a computer genius.

Li has been very interested in computers since he was a child.

His father, Li Zhendong, was a professor at Beijing Institute of Technology, and his family was relatively well-off.

Li Gongneng had already started using computers in the 1970s.

He later joined the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

However, the Chinese Academy of Sciences places great emphasis on seniority, and he is a science and engineering man who is not very willing to interact with people.

This resulted in him always remaining a low-level researcher at the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

There's no chance they even get noticed by those big shots; their genius is just buried away.

This time, it was his father, Li Zhendong, who took the initiative to let him participate in the assessment; otherwise, he would probably have continued to stay at the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

For Kong Nanjie, it was an extremely difficult math test.

But for Li Gongnong, it was very simple.

If he is a computer genius, then his mathematical ability will not be too bad.

However, in other areas such as automation, Li's functionality is relatively weaker.

Two days later, Li Nongcheng, Kong Nanjie, and the others completed their assessments and needed to stay in Bingcheng for two more days to await the results.

That evening, while Wang Duoyu was having dinner, he suddenly saw CCTV's News Broadcast reporting on international news.

This international news is about the Hubble Space Telescope.

"It's already launched and entered Earth orbit!"

After reading the news, Wang Duoyu felt it was necessary to learn more about the Hubble Telescope.

After all, such a massive object has already entered space, so foreign scientists might be able to discover the so-called dark energy before it does.

The original timeline was only discovered by foreign scientists in the late 1990s.

But in this timeline, which is now 1990, it shouldn't be like this.

But Wang Duoyu wouldn't gamble.

You should know that he invested billions of dollars in the ALD district to build a telescope observatory.

If someone else publishes a paper before it is put into use, wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?
Therefore, there are some things he still needs to pay attention to.

"Dad, what are you looking at? Why are you ignoring me?"

Just then, Wang Yifei suddenly stood up, waved her little hand in front of him, and asked with a puzzled expression.

Actually, the little guy was already a bit angry at this point.

Because her father had his eyes open, but he just wouldn't acknowledge her.

snort!
"Dad's thinking about something. What did you want to say to him just now?"

Wang Duoyu snapped out of her daze, smiled, grabbed the little girl's hand, and pulled her into her arms.

However, the little kid struggled to get up.

"Hmph, I'm angry, I won't let Daddy hug me."

"Then Daddy insists on carrying me, and I'm not allowed to run away."

"Hehe, I won't give it to you, Daddy, come and get me!"

The little boy was overjoyed, but Liu Xiaoli, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand it anymore and scolded the father and daughter:

"Can't you eat properly? If you can't eat properly, I'm taking all the food away."

"Your mother is angry. Come back and eat."

When playtime ended, Wang Yifei could only obediently return to her seat and eat properly.

One second she's a happy little pig, the next she's a quiet and elegant little cat.

Her child is already able to switch between her roles freely.

Wang Duoyu was stunned for a moment, then seemed to realize that Wang Yifei had grown up quite a bit.

Time flies so fast.

As children become more sensible, they also become more mischievous and naughty.

It also means that the child has grown up a lot.

To others, children grow up all at once, but Wang Duoyu watches over his child every single day.

But he didn't even notice that the child had grown quite a bit.

When Wang Duoyu looked at the three brothers, Wang Junhong, Wang Junan, and Wang Junkang, his eyes were filled with many emotions.

The eldest son, Wang Junhong, looks more like a little adult now, and the second and third sons have also grown taller.

"Boss, after you finish eating, measure your height so I can see if you've grown taller again."

Upon hearing her father's words, Wang Junhong had just nodded and hadn't spoken yet when Wang Yifei interrupted him.

"Dad, I want to be measured too! I want my height measured right now!"

The next moment, her mother's eyes turned piercing, filled with murderous intent!
Startled, she shrank back and quickly buried her head in her food.

Her adorable appearance made Liu Xiaoli burst out laughing.

Wang Duoyu and the others laughed as well, but Wang Yifei didn't realize why everyone was laughing. When she secretly looked up at her mother and saw that her mother was laughing, she dared to look up again.

Li Rongrong, Li Shumin, Li Qizheng, Lu Yuening, Lu Yuexin, and Lu Chengwu, the six siblings, also laughed, and the entire living room instantly became a sea of ​​joy.

After the meal, Wang Duoyu began measuring the children's height.

In each of their children's bedrooms, there is a small section of one wall used to record their height.

So Wang Duoyu is like the 'mother hen' in the game of Eagle Catches Chickens, leading ten children around ten bedrooms.

The youngest are Wang Yifei, Li Qizheng, and Lu Chengwu. The next few are Li Shumin, Lu Yuexin, and Wang Junkang. Then there are Li Rongrong, Lu Yuening, and Wang Junan. The oldest is Wang Junhong.

If the eldest son, Wang Junhong, turns ten this December, he will be ten years old.

Ten years have gone by in a blink of an eye.

It feels like yesterday was December 8th, 1980.

"Wow, Sisi, you're already 99 centimeters tall! Almost a meter tall!"

The first person to have their height measured was Xixi. After Wang Duoyu measured her height, he was immediately surprised.

They've grown so fast!

Every month, Liu Xiaoli measures the height and weight of the children.

Record the moments of children's growth.

Just like now, while Wang Duoyu was measuring his height, Wang Junhong was holding a camera and taking pictures of the scene.

Liu Xiaoli, who was not far away, was also taking pictures with another camera.

Both videos and photos are available and can be saved, and in high definition at that.

Harbin Institute of Technology has the technological expertise to develop such products, and Huashun Company relies on selling these products for profit. Naturally, they will increase their investment in technological research and development to ensure the competitiveness of their products in the international market.

"Really? Dad, I've grown up!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yifei was so happy that she immediately cheered and jumped up.

This child longs to grow taller and bigger every day, which is why she is so well-behaved when her mother calls her to eat.

Of course, that's just how children are; it's impossible to make them sit still forever.

"Yes, our Sisi has grown up."

After patting the little guy's head, Wang Duoyu led the children to other rooms to continue measuring their height.

The eldest son, Wang Junhong, is already 1.65 meters tall. Compared to last year, he doesn't seem to have grown much taller, but to be honest, he and Liu Xiaoli are about the same height.

In fact, because Wang Junhong is thinner and slimmer, he appears taller at first glance.

That's how thin people look; they appear very tall.

At only ten years old, Wang Junhong is already almost as tall as an adult. If he were to reach fifteen or sixteen, or even seventeen or eighteen, wouldn't he be even taller?
Of course, it is also possible that he will develop very slowly or even not at all in the next few years, growing to about 1.7 to 1.8 meters tall.

The period when teenagers grow the fastest during puberty is around the age of fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, or eighteen. After that, it becomes more difficult to continue growing taller.

Simply put, the middle school years are definitely a crucial developmental period for boys to catch up with girls.

Most girls are already very tall in the first or second year of junior high school, and some are even very tall in the fifth or sixth year.

For most boys, the period of rapid height growth is from the second year of junior high school to the second year of senior high school.

Some children are able to grow from 1.6 meters to over 1.8 meters in a short period of time during their final year of junior high and their first year of senior high.

"Although you haven't grown much taller, you look more mature now, boss."

Liu Xiaoli said that Wang Junhong is starting to look more and more like his father, Wang Duoyu.

"Mom, the way you're saying it makes me sound like I'm very old."

Wang Junhong said resentfully, and Wang Duoyu immediately laughed.

Lu Yuening and the other children immediately laughed along with them.

After measuring the children's height, Wang Duoyu went out.

The evaluation results for the magnetic plasma engine project came out today, and it's time to announce them and make arrangements.

The results were published on the official website of Harbin Institute of Technology and also posted on the bulletin boards of various departments and colleges.

On the other hand, all the results were also sent to the researchers living outside the Harbin Institute of Technology campus.

They were all seated in the two five-star hotels near the entrance and several other star-rated hotels nearby.

More than 18,000 people, that's no small number.

The combined number of rooms in the two five-star hotels will not exceed six thousand.

If it's three people per room, then these two five-star hotels might be able to accommodate all of them.

But that's certainly unlikely.

After learning the results, Kong Nanjie, Li Gongnong, and others were filled with mixed emotions, some happy and some sad.

Researchers staying in five-star hotels can access the internet at any time because their rooms have computers.

Researchers in other nearby star-rated hotels were not so lucky; they could only rely on staff notifications or go to the internet cafe downstairs to check.

The results have been published on the official website of Harbin Institute of Technology, and everyone can check them online.

However, while the internet is very developed in Harbin, researchers from other cities, even smaller towns, may not necessarily be able to access it.

As one of the most economically developed cities in China, Harbin currently boasts the largest economy, the most internet cafes, and the highest computer penetration rate among all residents nationwide.

Taking the GDP of cities across the country in 1989 as an example, Shanghai, an international metropolis, ranked second with a total GDP of 103.8 billion RMB.

The third-ranked city was not Beijing, but Guangzhou, which delivered a performance of 90.8 billion RMB.

Why did Guangzhou suddenly become so fierce?

Because several subsidiaries of Want Want Group, such as Walsin Technology and Moto Toys, have built factories here.

Unfortunately, 1989 was also a year of rapid development for the Want Want Group, which contributed a significant amount to Guangzhou's GDP.

On the other hand, many Japanese automakers, including Nissan, Honda, and Toyota, have established operations in Guangzhou.

At the same time, it has attracted a considerable number of foreign and Hong Kong companies to invest and build factories in Guangzhou, which is why Guangzhou's GDP has so surged, surpassing Beijing and ranking third among Chinese cities.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth highest figures are 89.8 billion yuan for Beijing, 62.6 billion yuan for Chongqing, and 58.3 billion yuan for Tianjin.

However, the combined economic output of these five cities is only 405.3 billion RMB.

However, the economic size of Harbin alone, with the wealth created by the companies affiliated with Harbin Institute of Technology, exceeds US$81.26 billion.

Including the 4.2 billion RMB in the domestic market, the total is over 329 billion RMB.

The total revenue of Want Want Group is US$21.48 billion and RMB5.291 billion, which is RMB91.211 billion.

However, one-third of this part needs to be deducted, because one-third of it is from Guangzhou and does not count as the results from Harbin.

Therefore, Want Want Group contributed 60 billion RMB to Harbin.

But let's not forget that Want Want Group also has Maple Leaf Holdings, and since the second half of last year, more than $80 billion in cash, technology assets, etc. have been withdrawn from Japan, either entering the domestic market or remaining abroad.

Some of the funds and technological assets withdrawn from Japan ended up in the Red Star Group and several large research institutions under the Want Want Group.

Therefore, this part alone has generated more than 40 billion RMB in GDP for Harbin.

In conclusion, the combined economic output of Want Want Group and Harbin Institute of Technology alone has generated 429.1 billion RMB for Harbin.

In other words, it has surpassed the economic size of the five cities of Shanghai, Guangzhou, Beijing, Chongqing, and Tianjin.

This doesn't even include the output value of the three joint ventures of Daimler-Benz, BMW, and Audi, nor does it include the output value of factories invested in by foreign companies such as Motorola, Nintendo, and Apple in Harbin.

And other economic output of Harbin itself.

For example, the star-rated hotels, guesthouses, and food streets around Harbin Institute of Technology may seem small in size, but in reality, there are a large number of stores, and their combined economic output is quite considerable.

As a result, Harbin's GDP exceeded 500 billion RMB in 1989.

With such rapid growth, one can imagine just how developed the overall economy of Harbin is today.

Looking at the total GDP, we can see that the number of internet cafes in Harbin is indeed very, very large.

This city is a technology city, with many technology companies such as Excellence Technology located in Harbin.

For internet cafe owners, buying computers is incredibly convenient and simple.

After seeing the result, Wang Duoyu muttered to himself. (End of Chapter)
