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

Many significant events occurred in October 1990.

Far away in Wolfsburg, Europe, the Saul family is reuniting.

Bailey was also there; he was now Saul's son-in-law, as he had married Polly Saul.

Last November, a group of them left from the mountains east of Berlin, passed through Budapest, and made a long detour before finally arriving in the city of Wolfsburg.

They have never left since they settled here.

But today, when they saw the news, they were stunned.

"Is this true? If they've already merged, then can't we go back to our hometown?"

Sower watched the news on the television screen and said excitedly.

Polly and others also had their opinions, but some opposed them while others supported them.

Byrd frowned and said:

"Judging from the current situation, we are very likely to be able to return to our hometown, but the question is, will our hometown still have room for us?"

"How could those corrupt noblemen possibly be willing to give us high-paying jobs?"

"If you ask me, we're perfectly fine here; there's no need to go back over there."

Actually, the wall had already collapsed before.

At that time, Bailey ran back to his hometown and brought his relatives back to Wolfsburg.

In other words, they could have gone back long ago, and now it's perfectly legitimate, since they are now citizens of the same country.

Even so, Bailey showed no intention of returning to his hometown.

The reason is very simple: there are no such good jobs available in their hometowns, so staying in Wolfsburg is the best option.

While Sower and his group were discussing the matter, many others had already taken to the streets to begin their celebrations.

In contrast to Wolfsburg, which was already in a state of jubilation, the Middle East remained engulfed in constant warfare.

As Facebook’s star reporter, Bolton Frank has uncovered another very important piece of information today.

The crude oil supply route in Iraq has been opened.

On this side of the Persian Gulf, the former Kuwaiti port is now filled with a large number of oil tankers.

These oil tankers arrived fully loaded with supplies such as food and weapons, and then left carrying large quantities of crude oil.

They were bartering, not exchanging goods in US dollars.

Majid Hussein was quite shrewd; if he hadn't done this, he probably wouldn't have been able to control his subordinates.

There is a lot of opposition within Iraq.

So at this time, no matter what, we must make sure everyone has enough to eat, otherwise, who would be willing to follow Majid Hussein?

As a result, international crude oil prices fell sharply.

In the headquarters building of Want Want Group in New York, USA, Wang Jianchao sat respectfully in the conference room, reporting to his superior:
"Uncle Jiu, our Pandora financial division has already made over $150 million in unrealized profits. If oil prices fall below $25, then the profits will definitely exceed $200 million."

The international crude oil futures market is volatile, so it's quite remarkable that Pandora, a newly established financial arm of a luxury brand, has been able to generate such huge profits.

After this battle, many Wall Street giants will surely be paying close attention.

Don't underestimate the potential profit of two hundred million dollars; it's actually quite impressive.

It's important to understand that this is just the finance department of a luxury brand company, not a company that specializes in the financial industry.

Pandora's profits might reach a new high this year.

On the other end of the internet communication software, in the study villa on the lake island of Harbin Institute of Technology's Weizigou campus, Wang Duoyu listened to his nephew's report with a calm expression.

Just like shorting Japan, the surge in crude oil prices caused by the third oil crisis is a very common occurrence in Wang Duoyu's view.

In this world, life is nothing more than fame and fortune.

Whether it's Bolton Frank fighting on the front lines for exclusive news, or Majid Hussein seeking access to the Persian Gulf and erasing billions of dollars in debt, these people are all driven by fame and fortune.

This is why the third oil crisis occurred, allowing people like Wang Jianchao to make their fortunes by planning ahead.

This year, besides its regular production facilities, Want Want Group's biggest sources of profit are shorting Japanese stocks, going long on crude oil, and shorting crude oil.

Zheng Baoyin, Wei Ruola, Qu Haiping, and others, having followed Li Efra and O'Brien for a long time, have also developed a great interest in finance, and are now deeply involved in it.

Fortunately, Wang Duoyu provided guidance; otherwise, it would be hard to say whether it would have resulted in a loss or a gain.

After they finished reporting, Wang Duoyu finally spoke:

"Okay, take $3.5 billion from the first half's profits and send it back to the country in the form of grain, crude oil, equipment, technology, and cash."

"Another two billion US dollars will be allocated to institutions such as the Magic Institute, allowing them to continue recruiting scientists from Moscow, primarily in mathematics, computer science, materials science, and medicine."

Why did Wang Duoyu do this?
There's not much to say about the domestic situation. With the launch of the Nantianmen Project, although many projects may take one or two years, or even three or four years, to be fully launched.

But the lack of money is absolutely certain.

Therefore, it is normal to transfer $3.5 billion back to the country.

Secondly, there's the two billion dollars, which he used to seduce and bribe those Moscow experts and professors.

The situation in Moscow right now is clear to those in the know.

Take Alexandrov, for example. He was an aerodynamics expert who was almost unable to support his family.

You can imagine what the situation was like over there.

Otherwise, the Magic Research Institute wouldn't have been able to take advantage of the situation and successfully bring back so many experts and professors from Moscow.

Currently, there are over eighty full professors from Moscow in Harbin.

There are many more other talents such as associate researchers and associate professors.

Wang Duoyu's massive investment wasn't just about hiring people; he also needed equipment, production lines, and technology.

Hearing his words, Zheng Baoyin and the others nodded in agreement.

They will take care of this; we just need to follow their orders.

Despite the fact that Wang Duoyu has invested so much money, it seems that he hasn't seen any returns yet.

However, let's not forget that most of Want Want Group's funds were earned by Wang Duoyu himself.

Even if all the money he has invested now were to go down the drain, he probably wouldn't be too heartbroken.

Moreover, this money is by no means going to waste.

In a suburban building in Moscow, a transaction is underway.

“Mr. Martin, you say your ship is full of grain, but how can I believe you? I haven’t seen anything!”

Andrei Mogolov stared at Martinez with a sinister look in his eyes, his tone devoid of any emotion.

He didn't know Martinez at all; this was only the second time they had met.

Therefore, he was naturally afraid of being tricked by the other party.

Currently, Moscow is experiencing a shortage of food and other supplies, causing the ruble to depreciate, and this trend is becoming increasingly severe.

Therefore, Andrei Mogolov now wants to take advantage of the power he still holds, while it is still effective, to seize the time to gain some benefits for himself.

Anyway, the higher-ups won't, and dare not, interfere with him.

They are now Moscow nobles, and also nobles in the past.

Andrei Mogolov can do whatever he wants, and no one else can really control him.

Therefore, when he communicates with others, whether they are foreigners or locals in Moscow, he is full of arrogance.

Take Martinez, for example. He doesn't care whether the other party is British or damned American. If the other party dares to mess with him, he will definitely not let them off easily.

“Mr. Mogolov, it seems you still don’t trust me. I’ve already said we’ll be making a deal today, and of course there won’t be any mistakes.”

Martinez continued to speak with a smile, seemingly unaffected by the other person's emotions.

"As long as the equipment you provide is working properly, then our grain will definitely be fine too. Can we start inspecting the goods now?"

As ordered by his superior, Martinez was required to make a deal with Andrei Mogolov, a Moscow nobleman who wielded considerable power.

The other party possesses the complete production chain technology for the Il-86 four-engine large twin-aisle wide-body passenger aircraft.

As early as the 1971 Paris Air Show, the Ilyushin Design Bureau first revealed the Il-86 development plan.

Moscow plans to develop the Il-86 primarily to replace the Il-62, which operates on long-haul international routes.

Regarding the layout of the Il-62, with its four engines mounted at the rear of the fuselage and a T-shaped vertical tail, the aircraft suffers from a significant shift in the center of gravity between empty and fully loaded states, as well as issues with less than ideal control performance.

Therefore, the Ilyushin Design Bureau finalized the design of the Il-86 at the end of 1972, adopting a wing-mounted engine layout.

The Il-86 was put into service as early as 1980.

It is now 1990, so the operating mode of the Il-86 aircraft has been validated by the market.

This aircraft can take off and land short distances and can also use unpaved runways.

Most importantly, this aircraft is very safe, with no tragic operational crashes.

This alone makes it worthwhile for Wang Duoyu to spend a lot of money to purchase it.

Besides, the production line equipment and technical personnel for this passenger plane are not expensive for Wang Duoyu these days.

Trading with Andrew Mogolov using grain, gold, and other commodities would be perfect.

"No problem, we can check each other now, but I hope you won't try anything funny!"

Andrei Mogolov threatened.

Martinez appeared calm on the surface, but was inwardly speechless.

Is this Moscow nobleman in front of me some kind of complete idiot?

Seriously, I'm constantly reminding him not to do anything underhanded, as if he actually would.

Moreover, he was afraid that the other party would try something underhanded.

Because the grain, gold, and other items Martinez prepared were very simple and could be easily detected.

However, if any part of the equipment on Andrei Mogolov's production line malfunctions, even a very minor one, Martinez might not even know about it.

Therefore, this transaction will certainly not be so simple; the inspection alone will take a lot of time.

On the other side, Andrei Mogolov soon saw a whole ship full of grain, as well as two large chests of gold.

These gold pieces are very beautiful, golden and shiny, and look very tempting.

At this moment, a hint of greed flashed deep in Andrei Mogolov's eyes.

However, he hid it very well.

While various pre-transaction checks were underway in Moscow, Alexandrov and his team had already arrived in Ice City.

The moment they stepped off the plane, they were awestruck by the prosperity of Harbin.

This was exactly the same expression Nikolai and his group had when they arrived in Ice City.

More than a decade ago, regardless of the data or the historical context, Moscow was far superior to Harbin.

However, in just over a decade, while Harbin's cultural heritage may not be as rich as Moscow's, it has surpassed Moscow in many aspects, including international reputation, economic size, and urban prosperity.

Leaving aside its economic size, even if Harbin were ranked among the world's major cities, it would surpass Moscow.

Not to mention that Harbin is now the world's number one mathematics center, with more than three Fields Medal winners from the city.

With a large number of top mathematicians and the presence of Wang Duoyu, the "Emperor of Mathematics," it is no exaggeration to call Harbin the world's premier mathematics center.

A few months ago, Harbin successfully hosted the 20th International Congress of Mathematicians, a congress that made Harbin the center of attention.

His fame soared.

As news spread that Wang Duoyu might be crowned for the fourth time in 1994, more and more mathematics PhDs, Masters, as well as a large number of mathematics professors and lecturers wanted to study at Harbin Institute of Technology, or apply to study at other universities such as Heilongjiang University.

There was only one goal: to get closer to Bingcheng and to Wang Duoyu.

Harbin Institute of Technology holds a monthly math sharing session. By participating in this session, you can meet Wang Duoyu and even have face-to-face discussions with him.

This is the only chance.

Of Wang Duoyu's twelve students today, not to mention Li Jun and Li Jianshu, who have already switched to applied mathematics.

Of the other ten students, Yorkes and Bochers have already won the Fields Medal.

Globally, they are a very prestigious and well-known entity.

Yang Nianzhen, Rong Guangxia, Maxim and the other eight students are no weaklings either; each of them is a world-renowned top mathematician.

You can find out by looking at the papers published in the Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematics Journal.

After all, those who can publish papers in this journal are not weaklings.

Besides its strong math skills, Harbin is also quite good in other aspects, such as the economy.

Moreover, Harbin has now approved its subway plan and begun planning and arranging work for the subway project.

Wang Duoyu has even arranged to purchase tunnel boring machines from Europe.

Once the plan is approved and the tunnel boring machine has been purchased, construction can begin.

On the third day after Alexandrov and his team arrived in Ice City, they were assigned to a factory.

Upon entering the factory and seeing the equipment inside, Alexandrov and the others froze instantly, staring blankly at everything before them.

They were very familiar with the equipment in front of them; it was equipment they had seen and touched every day when they were in Moscow.

At this moment, the factory manager stepped forward and smiled, saying:

"Gentlemen, our factory has already started operations, and I hope that all the experts can help us debug the equipment so as not to delay next year's production targets."

The S27 fighter jet can be produced first, and subsequent modifications will be carried out simultaneously.

In the short term, Wang Duoyu will definitely have his subordinates produce S27 fighter jets and hand them over to Fang Li and his team.

It also supports experts like Alexandrov.

We can't keep relying on Want Want Group to support these people's salaries, can we?

On the other side, a factory in the suburbs of Moscow.

When the inspection was successfully completed, Andrei Mogolov summoned a team of three hundred men and surrounded Martinez and his men.

"You're such a fool. Be smarter in your next life."

A pistol was aimed at Martinez, and the person holding the gun was none other than Andrei Mogolov.

He wanted to double-cross someone.

However, Martinez smiled:
"Andrei, you've really outsmarted yourself. You don't actually think I'm completely unprepared, do you?"

As soon as Martinez finished speaking, the two bodyguards behind him had already lifted their shirts, revealing C4 bombs.

Martinez himself was clearly strapped with quite a few of these bombs.

"Go take a look at those gold crates. There are tons of C4 bombs hidden inside. Believe me, if you fire, we'll all be dead here. You want to double-cross us? Heh, dream on."

Andrei Mogolov's expression changed drastically, and he took several steps back.

Mutual destruction was not Andreimogorov's goal.

He still has a long life ahead of him, and he has a lot of gold and silver jewelry and enormous wealth. He is not willing to die so unwillingly.

The situation is that simple: if he dares to make a move, he will definitely die along with him.

The others standing not far behind Andrei Mogolov and his group were all dumbfounded, and then, at the gesture of the person in charge, they put down their weapons.

Damn it, if anyone accidentally fires a gun, everyone in the factory will be killed.

No one knew the exact power of a C4 bomb better than these soldiers.

Although C4 bombs are not easy to detonate, the problem is that Martinez and his men have been up to something, hiding something.

Therefore, they dare not gamble.

Most importantly, there are dozens of cars near the factory.

Nobody knows whether these cars have C4 bombs installed.

Nobody dares to gamble!

Andrei Mogolov's face was ashen, his eyes filled with ruthless intent. After a moment, he said in a deep voice:
"Fine, I admit defeat. You can leave now, I won't stop you." "That's definitely not acceptable!"

Martinez shook his head and said:
"I'm afraid we'll need you to come with us; otherwise, we might be blown to bits by your men the moment we step out of the factory."

The mutual distrust reached its peak the moment Andrei Mogolov waved for Martinez and his men to be surrounded.

Since that's the case, then don't blame Martinez for lacking martial ethics.

He not only had to evacuate safely, but also take all two large chests of gold with him; this was punishment for Andrei Mogolov.

Who told the other party to be so unethical and dishonest?
Double-crossing?

Hehe, let's see who can outsmart whom.

Finally, Andrei Mogolov had no choice but to reluctantly sell the production line equipment so that Martinez's cargo ship could be safely transported away.

Andrei Mogolov only received a ship full of food in exchange, nothing more.

Martinez took all the gold and stuff.

This situation was quickly reported to Wang Jianchao and Zheng Baoyin.

New York, Want Want Group headquarters. Today, Lee Efra, O'Brien, and Dylan Dario are all here to hold a meeting with Wang Jianchao and others.

Then I happened to overhear something about Martinez in Moscow.

"So, it's actually easier to make money by double-crossing people in Moscow?"

Wang Jianchao stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

why?
Because of this move by Martinez, he directly earned more than 200 million US dollars in assets such as gold.

That's absolutely amazing.

Although it was largely earned at the cost of lives, the money came in way too fast!

Why did Martinez report it? Couldn't he have just kept the money himself?
That really wouldn't work, because Martinez's family is all in Harbin. If he dares to cause trouble, not only will he be hunted down, but his family will also be in trouble.

The reason he was sent to Moscow was not because he was chosen randomly.

Everyone who went to Moscow was carefully selected.

Whether it's loyalty or other aspects, it's an excellent choice.

Wang Duoyu naturally couldn't test human nature with money, so he imposed restrictions in many ways.

On the contrary, Li Efra and his group had all been tested. Even when Wang Duoyu threatened them to leave Want Want Group, they did not leave.

Because their money came too easily, following Wang Duoyu meant they could live a life of luxury, with beautiful women, yachts, and mansions—it couldn't be more enjoyable.

If they were to become independent, no one knows whether they would lose money, but they certainly wouldn't be able to make big money every year like before.

Leaving aside things from further back, let's talk about the third oil crisis in early August.

O'Brien's personal assets have surpassed one billion dollars, reaching 1.3 billion dollars.

Lee Evra, Dylan Dario, Allen Costa, and others have assets ranging from over a billion to nearly a billion.

There are no longer any executives in the Want Want Group with a net worth of less than $500 million.

How could Martinez not know these things?
Of course he knew, so when faced with gold worth two or three hundred million dollars, he was tempted and struggled.

But when you think about how Lee Efra and his friends are surrounded by beautiful women every day, travel by private jet, luxury yacht, and supercar, and own mansions in many places around the world, such as Tokyo, Paris, Berlin, London, Singapore, Hong Kong, Beijing, New York, and Los Angeles, it's a different story.

There are even private islands.

You can easily earn hundreds of millions, or even nearly a billion US dollars, a year.

How could Martinez not be tempted?

If he could advance further, he could become such a high-ranking executive. Naturally, he wouldn't be so short-sighted as to embark on a life on the run for two or three hundred million dollars.

Totally unnecessary.

Trading your life for money versus making money easily—even a fool knows which to choose.

"Jianchao, do you want to go? Or should I talk to your uncle? Let's see if he breaks your legs then."

Zheng Baoyin said with a smile, and Wang Jianchao rolled his eyes in annoyance:
"How could that be? I was just curious, not that I wanted to go to Moscow. I don't have masochistic tendencies."

At this moment, Lee Evra said:

"Martinez's current condition makes it unsuitable for him to remain in Moscow. He should be removed and replaced by someone else."

The proposal was endorsed by others.

The next step is to recommend someone from your subordinates to take on this role.

There are eighteen people in the Want Want Group who conduct transactions in Moscow; they are known as the Eighteen Arhats.

From the past two years to now, nearly seven people have died.

So going to Moscow may seem like a high-paying job, but it's also extremely dangerous.

Otherwise, why don't Lee Efra and the others go?
There are very few people like Martinez who can walk away unscathed.

After they made their decision, the news quickly reached Wang Duoyu's ears.

"Well, I see."

Wang Duoyu didn't interfere much, only indicating that he understood.

All the procedures for those in charge of going to Moscow had already been arranged. Wang Duoyu only cared about the results and didn't care about the process.

The S27 fighter jets have been transported back to Harbin, and in the short term, they cannot be directly handed over to Fang Li and his team for management.

In any case, the relevant person in charge of Want Want Group is handling this matter now.

In this way, even if we are discovered, it won't matter much.

Now we have the option to attack or defend.

If Fang Li and his group were to take direct control, and this happened to become known to the outside world, that would be a real problem.

As a private enterprise, Want Want Group can do whatever it wants, binding everyone together with shared interests, making everyone's fortunes intertwined.

Moreover, after Nikolai, Alexandrov, and others entered the city, they basically lived in their respective neighborhoods.

To say they have no freedom is not entirely true; to say they have freedom is perhaps like being caged birds.

November has arrived in the blink of an eye.

Despite the outside world's turmoil, Wang Duoyu stayed in Harbin and continued to do his work.

In late November, news came from Japan that Liu Deben and Lü Gongliang had no choice but to consult with Wang Duoyu.

"Duoyu, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System has been established in Japan, and this company is coming on strong."

On November 21st, media outlets around the world rushed to report on the grand launch of Nintendo's new console, the Super Famicom, in Japan.

As Japan's leading gaming giant, Nintendo established Super Nintendo Entertainment System and released a new game on November 21st, which was also sold in limited quantities.

As a result, many customers who tried to eat there that day had to leave empty-handed.

In just a few days, the console sold over a million units, demonstrating Super Nintendo's terrifying marketing prowess.

Of course, it's also because this product is so good; whether it's the game design or other aspects, it's a high-end product on the market today.

Dolphin Group's subsidiary, Dolphin Games, is also struggling to cope with this competitor.

It wasn't that they were completely outmatched, but rather that the opponent had been planning this for years and had been holding back this big move, leaving Dolphin Games caught off guard and somewhat bewildered.

After learning the situation, Wang Duoyu was speechless.

He hasn't personally managed the game business for several years; most of the game design is now handled entirely by Dolphin Games' own design team.

As a result, this is it?
"Old Liu, if we can't compete in the high-end machine market, it means our technology and strength are lacking, so we'll lower our prices."

This is a traditional skill of Harbin Institute of Technology. If you can't beat them, then you win by sheer volume.

In any case, Dolphin Games' current game products are not garbage, but high-quality products.

Since we can't defeat the opponent in high-level games, we should just lower the price and rout them, then launch a new product.

After Wang Duoyu finished speaking, Yin Wenjie said awkwardly:
"Professor Wang, our Dolphin Games company reported that the two consoles we currently have are not impressive enough, and even if we launch them on the market now, the results will likely be mediocre."

"We know we shouldn't trouble you, but Super Nintendo's products are truly amazing right now. If we want to beat them, we need to come up with an even more amazing console."

Super Mario World is Super Nintendo's flagship product.

The fact that they are now releasing this product is precisely because they are aiming to become a global gaming giant.

At this moment, Yin Wenjie's words were actually a hope that Wang Duoyu could personally take charge and design a relatively amazing game product.

Wang Duoyu rolled his eyes and said:
"I don't have time, you guys figure it out yourselves."

"You can definitely handle this kind of small matter yourselves."

Previously, I desperately wanted Wang Duoyu to stay out of things, fearing that he would take away all my power.

Now that they're in trouble, they want Wang Duoyu to clean up their mess.

He had already given them a plan; whether they chose it or not was their own business, and Wang Duoyu didn't want to get involved anymore.

So after he finished speaking, he picked up his water glass and drank some water, his intention to serve tea and see the guest off was not too obvious.

Yin Wenjie was extremely embarrassed, unsure whether to sit or leave.

He could only look to Liu Deben for help.

At this moment, Liu Deben realized that Wang Duoyu was angry, so he could only wave his hand at Yin Wenjie and say:

"Alright, you should go out now."

"Okay, Secretary, I'll be going now. Professor Wang, I'll be leaving now."

Having no other choice, Yin Wenjie could only leave first.

His hopes were now entirely pinned on Liu De himself.

After Yin Wenjie left, before Liu Deben could speak, Wang Duoyu preemptively said:
"Old Liu, this is not something I should get involved in. In short, I can't be bothered with it."

"But Harbin Institute of Technology is my home, I can't just ignore it. Old Liu, you'd better keep a close eye on these guys from now on, they're all a handful. Look at Want Want Group, sigh."

There is no harm without comparison.

These companies under Harbin Institute of Technology, especially the gold mines like Dolphin Group and Huashun Company, bring back substantial profits from overseas every year.

So every time there's a meeting, everyone is very proud.

After all, most of these companies are high-tech companies, and while their profits aren't very high, they're not low either.

For example, Dolphin Group's revenue figures are consistently outstanding every year. It is undoubtedly number one in China and a well-known multinational corporation abroad.

The results of it?
Anyway, Wang Duoyu didn't really like it.

Yin Wenjie, the person in charge, is getting too cocky.

Sooner or later, they'll fall hard.

Of course, Wang Duoyu didn't care how badly the other person fell.

The fact that these companies under Harbin Institute of Technology can guarantee to bring back enough profits every year is what Wang Duoyu cares about.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have intervened.

After saying that, Wang Duoyu casually took out a document from the bookshelf behind him and handed it to Liu Deben, saying:
"Old Liu, you can take this game design document out."

"If the Dolphin Group can't bring in enough profits next year, I'll tear it apart, so that each member won't become arrogant and forget who they are."

Liu Deben was overjoyed and thanked him profusely.

Then he brought up two other things.

First, there's the Heilongjiang Aircraft Manufacturing Plant. Shouldn't this company step up its efforts?
Wang Duoyu heard this and shook his head:

"No rush. Once the Il-86 production line equipment is delivered, our technical engineers can communicate and cooperate with their engineers."

"I believe that within two years, our own domestically produced passenger aircraft will be able to begin production."

Four years ago, Harbin Institute of Technology invested $800 million to establish the Heilongjiang Aircraft Manufacturing Plant.

Now, four years later, it is undoubtedly true that this company is capable of producing passenger planes.

That won't work. Four years is not enough time, no matter how much you invest, it might not be possible to achieve that.

But it's different now.

As more and more technicians and engineers from Moscow arrived in Harbin, the technicians and engineers from the original Heilongjiang Aircraft Manufacturing Plant immediately found people to communicate with.

The production and manufacturing of domestically produced passenger aircraft is completely different from that of fighter jets.

Otherwise, the Heilongjiang Aircraft Manufacturing Plant could directly communicate with Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group or Shenyang Aircraft Corporation.

In Wang Duoyu's view, two years should be enough time for the Heilongjiang aircraft manufacturing plant.

Two years from now, the Heilongjiang Aircraft Manufacturing Plant will be able to ramp up its efforts, and that will be the time for it to demonstrate its strength.

It's definitely not ready yet. We don't have enough resources, whether in terms of scale or the number of technicians and engineers. So we need more time to develop.

The second matter is the reform of Huajiang Power Company.

As the West-to-East Power Transmission Project progresses, Huajiang Power Company has also made significant contributions.

Currently, Huajiang Power Company has established multiple subsidiaries in the south, making overall management difficult.

Therefore, the company needs to be reformed and restructured.

Just then, the power supply bureau was also undergoing reform and restructuring, and they also set their sights on the business capabilities of Huajiang Power Company.

After all, Huajiang Power Company has had frequent and close dealings with the power supply bureau over the past few years.

The leaders of the power supply bureau all know that the technicians at Huajiang Power Company are highly capable, and many of them are graduates of Harbin Institute of Technology.

Faced with such a force, the power supply bureau was very interested and wanted Huajiang Power Company to come to their side.

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu said helplessly:
"Old Liu, do you really need to ask me about this?"

Of course there's no need to ask. Although Huajiang Power Company isn't exactly the lifeblood of Harbin Institute of Technology, it's definitely unacceptable for it to be taken away by the power supply bureau like this.

Harbin Institute of Technology has worked so hard for so many years to finally accumulate this little bit of wealth, and now someone wants to take it all. How can we let them succeed?

Upon hearing this, Liu Deben nodded solemnly and said:
"Okay, I know what to do."

Actually, Liu De was unwilling, but the power supply bureau had a lot of powerful backing, and its reasons were quite convincing.

Furthermore, Harbin Institute of Technology is a university, and teaching and educating people is its true primary responsibility. Engaging in business operations would be putting the cart before the horse.

On the other hand, Liu Deben served as the top leader of Harbin Institute of Technology for almost ten years.

If he wants to go further, he should start paving the way earlier.

This was one of the reasons for his hesitation.

His former partner, Li Rui, had already retired from the former Ministry of Machinery Industry.

Although Liu Deben is already over sixty years old, he doesn't want to retire yet. He wants to work for a few more years, preferably until he is over seventy.

Because Liu Deben felt that his body was still very healthy, and the various indicators on his medical examination report were much better than those of his peers.

Furthermore, after Li Rui retired, his health deteriorated very quickly, and various ailments began to appear.

So Liu De didn't want to become like that.

Therefore, he could only continue to work hard, and in that way, perhaps he could live a little longer.

At this moment, Lü Gongliang suddenly spoke up:
"Duoyu, I heard that your Want Want Group has purchased a lot of equipment from your neighbor again? Is it machine tool production equipment, and related technicians?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu looked at the other person in surprise and nodded:

"Yes, I only found out about it last month when I saw the briefing. What's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Gongliang immediately said excitedly:

"Duoyu, you know that Harbin Institute of Technology has a subsidiary called Beibingyang Machine Tool Factory, right? This company has been barely surviving because it's severely lacking in talent, especially senior technicians and mechanical design engineers—they're extremely scarce."

The legendary eighth-level worker could completely handcraft a gun, and even various other equipment.

Back in the 1950s and 60s, they were called Grade 8 workers, and they were the darlings of each factory, practically national treasures.

Nowadays they are called senior technicians, and these top talents are also protected by their respective organizations.

That's why Lü Gongliang set his sights on the talent that Want Want Group recruited from its neighboring company. (End of Chapter)
