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

In mid-to-late January 1991, in a large courtyard on Wenjin Street in Beijing.

Fang Lihe looked at the documents in front of him, his hands trembling uncontrollably.

"Old Zeng, if we go to war with them, what are our chances of winning?"

Zeng Zhaoshun remained silent upon hearing this.

Forty years ago, Zeng Zhaoshun and his group had fought with the other side.

At that time, the other side also possessed a large number of advanced weapons and equipment such as airplanes and artillery.

At that time, Zeng Zhaoshun and his men only had dried potatoes, dried flour, and rifles.

The disparity in strength between the two sides is far greater than imagined.

Even so, Zeng Zhaoshun and his men still routed the seventeen-nation coalition.

In the end, they had no choice but to withdraw from the peninsula and flee back to their homeland in defeat.

But now, forty years later...

Logically speaking, we have been focusing on development for so many years, and although there is a gap between us and the other side, it shouldn't be this big.

But that's the reality.

The US has a fleet of electronic warfare aircraft, including early warning aircraft, electronic jamming aircraft, Joint Surveillance and Target Attack System aircraft, strategic reconnaissance aircraft, and tactical reconnaissance aircraft.

These are the most advanced information-based warfare methods in the world today.

The overwhelming bombing seemed to transport people back to the war-torn era of World War II.

"How can their information-based fighter jet fleet be so terrifying? How can they maintain their own information and communication channels so smoothly while interfering with the enemy?"

Another elderly man in military uniform, You Jianfeng, muttered to himself.

Fang Lihe also expressed his incomprehension.

But that's what it is.

"I wonder if our drone swarm has any advantage against such an electronic warfare aircraft swarm?"

Suddenly, Zeng Zhaoshun said something.

The drone is a new product jointly developed by Diaopai Company, a subsidiary of Harbin Institute of Technology, and Qianyuan Laboratory, a subsidiary of Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group.

In 1987, Harbin Institute of Technology established Wujiang Technology, which launched a home-use version of drones to the market.

As a result, starting from this year, the development of military drones in China accelerated, and many different types of drones were further subdivided.

Among them, the drone fighter swarm combat mode proposed by Wang Duoyu a few years ago has received much attention from Zeng Zhaoshun and others.

As a leader in the aerospace sector, Fang Lihe understood this even better.

However, he doesn't think much of drones.

The reason is simple: drones are too small, both in terms of payload and flight range.

As for the fighter jet project, it was utter garbage.

Especially now, with the war going on in the Gulf.

This can also be seen from Bolton Frank's perspective.

Their Desert Storm operation this time was truly amazing.

Under comprehensive coverage.

Even if Majid Hussein had more than 700 aircraft, they would be nothing more than a pile of scrap metal in the face of other countries' early warning aircraft, electronic jamming aircraft, and Joint Surveillance and Target Attack System aircraft.

Moreover, other countries have F-117 stealth fighters, F-15 fighter-bombers, F-15C/D fighter-bombers, and F-4C anti-radar attack aircraft.

In addition, the French Mirage 2000 and the British Tornado fighter jet, etc.

With so many planes bombing, Majid Hussein was already mentally exhausted.

So what if there are drone swarms?

Can't they turn the tables and kill the opponent?

In any case, the first round will definitely result in heavy losses.

Of course, all of this is based on conventional combat modes.

If it's unconventional.

Hmm, so that means we're all heading towards the abyss together.

Therefore, what Qian Xuesen said back then is a different matter from having a sword but not using it and having no sword to use.

Only when you have the truth in your hands will the other party obediently sit down and chat.

"Let's have a meeting. I think it's best to talk to Professor Qian and Professor Wang."

You Jianfeng suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Zhaoshun, Fang Li, and the others fell silent once again.

The phone rang quickly. Inside the study villa on the island in the middle of the lake at Harbin Institute of Technology, Wang Duoyu did not answer the phone because he had unplugged the network cable and turned on the signal jammer.

At this very moment, he is busy working on proving the Riemann Hypothesis.

This core part of the work is extremely difficult.

It requires not only a lot of calculations, but also a lot of thinking.

When inspiration strikes, Wang Duoyu has no choice but to learn from Lu Jiaxi's "work-hard" attitude towards scientific research.

Inside the villa next door, Wang Yifei was playing hide-and-seek with Li Shumin and the others, along with Liu Deben, Lü Gongliang's granddaughter and several other little kids. They were having a great time playing together.

There are a lot of confidential documents in Wang Duoyu's house, in the study of the villa.

But in the villa next door, you absolutely cannot find any confidential documents.

Therefore, Wang Yifei and her friends can freely invite their friends to their home to play.

Just as Wang Yifei and her friends were having a great time, the landline phone in the living room suddenly rang, startling them all.

However, the kids quickly got back to playing and didn't think the phone call was that important.

At this moment, Liu Xiaoli came out of the kitchen and answered the phone.

"Oh, he's at home, oh no, he's in the study next door. You can't get through to him on the phone? Should we go and ask him to answer the phone?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yifei immediately abandoned her playfulness and rushed over.

The little girl looked at her mother and asked softly, "Mommy, are you looking for Daddy?"

Without a doubt, she should be looking for her father.

Normally, it's rare for anyone to call Liu Xiaoli or anyone else.

The phone at home is mostly used to call Wang Duoyu.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Xiaoli said with a smile:
"Yes, it's about your dad. We'll talk to him about it during lunch later."

"Can I go find my dad now?"

"No, your dad is deliberately not answering the phone, so something must be wrong. Don't worry about it. He'll come back for dinner when it's time to eat."

"Oh."

The little guy pouted unhappily and went to the door to look at the study villa next door.

At that moment, she missed her father a little.

Actually, I saw it while eating breakfast this morning, so there's no need to think that way.

However, Wang Yifei is clearly quite attached to her father.

"Sissi, come and catch us!"

Soon, her friends called her, and Wang Yifei immediately turned around, quickly forgetting about her father.

Living for the moment is what they should be doing at their age.

Before we knew it, it was lunchtime.

Wang Duoyu pushed open the door, walked into the living room, and casually hung his coat on the wall.

In January, it is extremely cold outdoors in Harbin.

So even if Wang Duoyu was just coming from the study next door, he would still wear a jacket to avoid catching a cold.

Your body is your own, so of course you should take good care of it.

"father!"

Little brat Wang Yifei and third brother Wang Junkang had already rushed over. Wang Qianqian was seen hugging his leg, looking up and saying:
"Dad, I miss you."

Liu Xiaoli, who had just placed the dishes on the table, couldn't help but turn around and laugh, scolding:

"What a clingy little thing! All you do all day is stick to your dad. Come and eat!"

"I'll stick to Daddy, hmph hmph!"

Wang Yifei made a face at her mother.

"Dad, I have something to tell you. Someone called you just now, but Mom answered the phone. I told Mom to come to you, but she wouldn't let me, and she even yelled at me."

He takes every opportunity to tattle; that's just childish behavior.

"Okay, I got it. Go wash your hands and eat." Wang Duoyu said with a smile.

After dinner, Wang Duoyu picked up the phone and called back to Beijing.

He soon found out why the people in the capital were looking for him.

However, he declined for the time being because he couldn't leave at the moment and needed at least three more days before he could go to the capital.

"Okay, no problem. I'll head to the capital in three days."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Yifei blinked her beautiful big eyes and immediately said:

"Dad, are you going to the capital? Can I come with you?"

"No"

Wang Duoyu pretended to have a lisp, and the little guy immediately got angry:

"No? Why not? I want to go to the capital too."

Liu Xiaoli also cast a strange look at them, even though they had just returned from Beijing two weeks ago.

However, Wang Duoyu dotes on his daughter very much, and he almost always grants her every wish.

Why did you refuse now?

"No, that's right!" Wang Duoyu exclaimed happily.

"Daddy was just teasing you, why are you getting so worked up? Are you crying?"

"No, no, it's just sand in my eyes," Wang Yifei said, bursting into tears of joy as she playfully wiggled her cheeks.

"Hahaha!"

"Dad, you're so mean! Ugh, I'm not playing with you anymore! Humph, all you do is bully me!"

After the laughter subsided, Wang Duoyu got up and went back to the study next door.

The little guy is starting to feel anxious again.

New York, the office building of Want Want Group's US headquarters.

Zheng Baoyin is reviewing reports.

Just now, the COO of Yuma Apparel submitted the reports from the US company for him to review.

In fact, he already had these reports in his hands.

He had already received the reports from other branches around the world last week.

The year-end summary meeting is just around the corner, so naturally I need to get ready quickly.

Actually, this year is considered quite late.

After all, this year's Spring Festival is relatively late, it will be on February 14th.

As a result, the year-end summary meetings were all held much later than usual.

While I was looking through them, the phone on my desk suddenly rang.

Zheng Baoyin casually picked up the phone, and the next moment, upon hearing the voice on the other end, he immediately sprang to his senses and respectfully said:
"Uncle, weren't you in seclusion? Why are you calling me all of a sudden? Have you finished your seclusion?"

The phone call came from his uncle, Wang Duoyu.

Normally, when Wang Duoyu goes into seclusion, Zheng Baoyin and the others will also receive emails.

They even knew about it in advance.

"Yes, it's over. I'm going to Beijing tomorrow, and I'll fly directly to Guangzhou from there. Let's hold this year's year-end summary meeting in Guangzhou."

"Okay, Uncle, I understand. Should I inform Jianchao and the others?"

"Okay, please tell them that the date is tentatively set for the 26th. You can come back earlier and arrange your own time. I might arrive a few days later."

"Okay, Uncle, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Baoyin immediately notified Wang Jianchao and the others.

California, Los Angeles.

O'Brien, Wang Jianchao, and Reinhard Monroe were sitting together, frowning in thought.

The Reeves family and these three major California conglomerates are really stubborn.

Even at this point in time, they are still unwilling to budge.

It's unlikely that Varian Medical Systems is hiding any secrets, is it?

Otherwise, why would the Reeves family be so unwilling to budge?
If things really come to that, then there will be no possibility of reconciliation between the two sides in the future.

That's just Wang Duoyu's temperament: if he can cooperate, he will; if he can't, he'll just steal.

Varian Medical Systems is currently the most advanced company in cancer medical equipment, although Siemens, Elekta, and Raytheon Medical Technology are also leaders in this field.

However, it still lags far behind Varian Medical Systems.

In particular, Siemens' main products are not medical equipment such as medical linear accelerators.

You could say that Siemens was a latecomer to the industry.

Wang Duoyu highly values ​​the two teams at Varian Medical Systems.

So even now, his orders to Wang Jianchao and his team are still to take over this company, even if it means completely offending the Reeves family.

This is why O'Brien and his two companions are so worried.

Ding Ding!

Zheng Baoyin called to inform O'Brien and his team of the date and location of the year-end summary meeting.

You actually went to Guangzhou this year?
This is quite a rare occurrence.

After hanging up the phone, O'Brien looked at Wang Jianchao and said:
"What do we do now? The year-end summary meeting is on the 26th, and I'm afraid I'll get scolded by the professor!"

"Let them curse me, what's it to you?"

Wang Jianchao rolled his eyes and suddenly said:

"Since we're so rich, why don't we just get straight to the point? Maybe the other party..."

His plan was to use their current financial resources to exploit the greed of the Reeves family and others.

After all, Wang Jianchao, O'Brien, and Reinhard Monroe each hold $2.58 billion, $1.6 billion, and $1.3 billion respectively.

Such a large amount of capital is extraordinary, even in the United States.

In that case, the Reeves family, the Douglas family, and the Anthony family would probably be tempted, right?

"I think this is inappropriate!"

Reinhard Monroe shook his head and said:
"In your country's terms, that's like walking into a trap."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianchao rolled his eyes at the other person: "At most, it's just introducing yourself, how is it walking into a trap?"

“Why not?” Reinhard Monroe countered, then continued:

"The professor has always told us to keep our identities hidden and, ideally, not to reveal our financial situation to the powerful figures in North America."

"Even the phone call Bao Yin just made the message very clear: we should try our best to keep our situation a secret from the outside world."

"After all, we all fly to Harbin at this time every year. After a while, even a fool would know that there are other special circumstances."

"If they investigate further, that would be troublesome."

We should not underestimate the power of North American capital; their influence is truly terrifying.

If you underestimate your opponent, you are very likely to suffer a setback.

Seeing that Wang Jianchao seemed to be deep in thought, Reinhard Monroe continued:

"Given our current situation, I believe we should refer to the professor's plan, and even implement it more decisively and quickly."

Now or never!

The Reeves family is currently facing an economic crisis.

Due to the Gulf War, the arms business of the Reeves family and their three other families was indeed booming.

But George Bush had not yet fully paid for those weapons.

On the other hand, the Reeves family and others believed that the Gulf War would definitely last for a long time.

As a result, they increased their investment, which led to a relatively tight cash flow for them.

Besides, this happened before that, back in August of last year.

The surge in oil prices meant that the Reeves family and other Californian conglomerates not only failed to profit from the wave, but also suffered significant losses.

After all, these California conglomerates have relatively few companies involved in the financial sector; instead, they have more companies in the chemical and military industries.

This leads to an extreme.

When crude oil prices soar, their chemical companies are in trouble.

Military industrial enterprises can only make a profit during wartime.

However, military industrial enterprises are no longer just enterprises.

This is a military-industrial complex.

In other words, this is a huge interest group.

The Reeves, Anthony, and Douglas families are merely members of this military-industrial complex.

Therefore, this is the current situation.

If Want Want Group then gets other damaging information from its competitors.

That should force the Reeves family to abandon Varian Medical Systems, since securing the funds is the most important thing.

"Wouldn't that be too risky? And if the Reeves family refuses, we'll be in an even more passive position."

Wang Jianchao frowned and said with concern.

His ninth uncle said he wanted Varian Medical Systems, not just an empty shell.

Therefore, Wang Jianchao tends to be somewhat hesitant and cautious in his execution.

Upon hearing this, Reinhard Monroe gave O'Brien a look.

After understanding, the latter said:
"I think this is the right way to do it. Or should we hold a meeting and vote on it?"

Therefore, Wang Jianchao agreed and a meeting was held to vote on the matter.

At another internet conference, Lee Efra, Zheng Baoyin, and others hesitated, but Dylan Dario, Fuller Carson, Allen Costa, and others expressed their agreement.

With the majority vote prevailing, the matter ended there.

Representatives soon went to the Reeves family to negotiate with the three families.

After the first round of negotiations, the Reeves family has softened their stance.

However, the acquisition price was very high, with a premium of 80%.

It's too expensive. So we're going to have a second round of negotiations.

At the same time, representatives from Want Want Group specifically raised the following points:

"The Gulf War won't last long; a ceasefire will definitely be reached in February or March."

"impossible!"

The Reeves family said it was impossible, but the Want Want Group representative provided actual data.

Neither the United States nor Europe wants crude oil prices to remain at $28, $29, or $30 a barrel, because that's too expensive.

International crude oil prices should remain at $18 or $20 per barrel.

In fact, from a fair perspective, an increase in the inflation rate is a good thing for many countries.

However, if the improvement is too fast or too much, it will be a disaster.

Ten years ago, oil prices were below ten dollars a barrel.

However, the rapid rise in crude oil prices is not only due to inflation, but also has many other connections to organizations like OPEC.

On the other hand, the rapid rise in global inflation is actually closely related to the inflation of the US dollar.

After all, the total amount of the US dollar monetary base has now exceeded one trillion US dollars.

It's important to know that in 1972, the global dollar base money supply was only a little over 80 billion US dollars.

In just over twenty years, it has skyrocketed.

You can imagine how terrifying it was.

"Okay, we promise not to take the medical team or the research team away, nor will we tamper with them, but the quote must be a 120% premium."

Faced with the data attack by representatives of Want Want Group, the Reeves family had no choice but to make concessions.

But that's outrageous!

Therefore, Want Want Group could only argue its case based on reason.

It is best to determine whether to trade at a 100% premium.

After more than half a year, the acquisition of Varian Medical Systems has finally come to an end.

Want Want Group spent a total of US$2.58 billion to acquire all the equity of Varian Medical Systems.

This also includes control of those two teams.

Once the matter was finalized in the United States, O'Brien and his team couldn't care less about anything else and urged the completion of the asset transfer.

As for asset valuation, it's unnecessary, because this is a listed company, and its specific market value and other details are already well known.

Moreover, Want Want Group had previously acquired so many shares from the secondary market and applied for board seats, so it naturally had a lot of information to offer, and therefore there was no need to review these matters.

All you need to do is submit a delisting application to the stock exchange.

After all this work was almost done, it was already the 24th.

So the group hurriedly left the United States and headed to Guangzhou.

A large courtyard on Wenjin Street in Beijing.

Wang Duoyu appeared here, as did Fang Lihe, Zeng Zhaoshun, You Jianfeng, and several other senior professors, including Qian Xuesen.

In front of Wang Duoyu and his group was a huge sand table.

Today they are going to conduct a simulated military operation.

However, in Wang Duoyu's opinion, this sand table is a bit outdated.

Because nowadays, the focus is on overall operations, with comprehensive coordination across land, sea, and air, rather than operations on a small scale.

Therefore, sand table simulations of combat are of little use in modern warfare.

Why isn't it working?

Upon hearing Wang Duoyu's objection, You Jianfeng became somewhat agitated and spoke.

"Sir, you're also familiar with Operation Desert Storm during the Gulf War, aren't you?"

Wang Duoyu smiled and said, not at all surprised, after all, the sand table was the lifeblood of You Jianfeng and his group.

Even more than a decade ago, on the battlefield of Monkey Peninsula.

They also fought while guarding the sand table.

What? It's only been about ten years, and it's already outdated?

Fang Li and the others remained silent, while Qian Xuesen and the other professors simply watched with smiles.

It's the era of young people now.

Wang Duoyu is a representative figure in the scientific community, and his words, to a certain extent, represent the attitude of the entire domestic scientific community.

"I know, what's wrong?"

You Jianfeng said curtly.

Wang Duoyu said:

"Alright, before I came, Leader Fang briefly told me that they're currently being bombed by enemy planes."

"Although we have ground-based air defense missiles, they also have electronic jamming aircraft and early warning aircraft, which can completely ignore our air defense missiles. Unless we can provide them with the same countermeasures, we will be sitting ducks."

"During Operation Desert Storm, the enemy swarmed with aircraft, probably already overhead before we even reacted. If we try to counterattack now, sir, their missiles will likely be landing soon."

Upon hearing this, You Jianfeng retorted:
"Don't we still have drones?"

“Yes, we have drones!” Wang Duoyu nodded.
"But are our drones useful on this sand table?"

When asked this question, You Jianfeng immediately fell silent.

Because what Wang Duoyu said makes a lot of sense, how should we fight back against the enemy under such circumstances?

Drones will definitely have to fly into the sky.

However, due to disadvantages such as signal range, drones can hardly gain an advantage in the air. No matter how many there are, they are just targets.

"So, isn't our current situation quite simple?"

Wang Duoyu said with a smile:
"We may need maps or sand tables, but these things need to be based on the premise that we have enough information."

"For example, if enemy forces appear hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away from our doorstep, we can know that the enemy's carrier strike group has already set sail."

"Even more importantly, we can detect enemy nuclear submarines in advance."

"This is warfare in this day and age. It's not like the childish games of a decade or so ago, where you shoot me once and I give you two bullets in return."

"Modern information warfare utilizes a large amount of conventional weapons and equipment that leverage contemporary high-tech technologies such as information technology, new materials technology, new energy technology, biotechnology, aerospace technology, and marine technology."

Upon hearing Wang Duoyu mention this concept, Fang Lihe, Qian Xuesen, Zeng Zhaoshun, You Jianfeng, and others immediately brightened up.

"Adopt corresponding combat methods to conduct attacks in localized areas, including but not limited to cyber warfare, economic warfare, food warfare, etc."

After a pause, Wang Duoyu continued:

"Let's take the Plaza Accord from six years ago as an example. On the surface, it was a plan to harvest wealth from Japan and Germany."

"Actually, there are many different strategies behind the scenes, let me briefly mention a few."

Fang Li and the others immediately became focused.

Although Wang Duoyu is a mathematics professor and a scientific researcher, he did publish a book called "The Rise of a Great Power" back then!
Furthermore, Want Want Group, under Wang Duoyu's name, has repeatedly stirred up trouble overseas and earned a considerable amount of profit.

Therefore, there is absolutely nothing wrong with him mentioning this financial war, or economic war.

Starting with the Plaza Accord and the Louvre Accord, Wang Duoyu also mentioned the increase in the US dollar base money from the mid-1980s to the present, and why the stock market crash of 1987 occurred.

It explains the essence of this war from almost every aspect.

"Furthermore, in this great era, esteemed leaders, we need to prepare as early as possible."

What to do?

Join the WTO!

But Wang Duoyu was certain.

If we dare to make such a request, the other party will definitely refuse.

Without a doubt, he was absolutely certain of this.

what is it now?
Cold stir-fried eggs!
Just prepare in advance.

"What you're describing is just one type. What about information-based warfare?"

You Jianfeng was still puzzled after listening to this.

Actually, he wasn't misunderstanding; he was just doing it on purpose because only in this way would Wang Duoyu continue speaking.

"It's simple. What we need to do now is develop various early warning aircraft, electronic jammers, signal shields, as well as robots and drones."

Wang Duoyu said with a smile:
"In the short term, these are the things I can think of. In the future, we can definitely start with Mach 5 fighter jets, stealth fighter jets, and the Xuan Nu space fighter."

"Therefore, the Nantianmen Project must proceed steadily and cannot be interrupted."

"On the other hand, our previous underground nuclear Great Wall project also needs to be advanced simultaneously, connecting many important sites such as the Three Gorges Dam."

The plan for an underground nuclear Great Wall has existed for quite some time.

Wang Duoyu simply brought up the matter again in 1988, expanding the underground nuclear Great Wall, and that was all.

Of course, the previous distance was very short. The planned underground nuclear Great Wall will be at least 5,000 kilometers long.

Seeing that Wang Duoyu had already talked about this, Fang Li and the others felt much more at ease.

After all, this was the limit of what Wang Duoyu could do.

We must understand that there is a significant gap between us and the enemy.

The current level of narrowing the gap is already the limit.

Moreover, only forty-one years have passed.

It was more than two hours later when we left the Wenjin Street compound.

Back at No. 87 Zhongguancun West Street.

To his surprise, Wang Yifei and the others were not home.

It seems they went out to play or visited their neighbors.

Actually, they don't live in the capital very often.

But to be fair, Wang Yifei has a pretty good relationship with her friends in Beijing.

Since they weren't home, Wang Duoyu went out to eat.

Just as he was about to leave, Liu Xiaoli and the others were already waiting at the door.

"father!"

Wang Yifei, with her sharp eyes, spotted her father immediately. The third child rushed over, along with the second child.

The eldest brother, Wang Junhong, is still in his hometown and hasn't come over.

Since I last told Wang Junhong to read more of the Twenty-Four Histories, the little guy has really taken it to heart.

There are books of the Twenty-Four Histories in the family library.

Even if not, the Harbin Institute of Technology library has books on the Twenty-Four Histories.

"Where have you been?"

"Dad, we're going to the neighbor's house."

Listening to the little one's chattering, Wang Duoyu carried her back into the house.

Liu Xiaoli asked with a smile, "When are you going to Guangzhou?"

"Tomorrow," Wang Duoyu replied.

Things in Beijing are mostly settled. He should be able to finish by going to the compound this afternoon.

The very next day, Wang Duoyu and his friends boarded a plane and headed south to Guangzhou.

Wang Junhong also departed from Harbin and flew directly to Guangzhou.

At almost the same time, he saw his parents and younger siblings at the airport.

The family took a car back to their home in Guangzhou: Tianhe District, an island in the Pearl River.

Ersha Island is its former name; it is now Wang Duoyu's private island.

With the deepening development of Guangzhou, its economy is growing faster and faster.

The original city center consisted of Liwan, Yuexiu, and Haizhu districts.

These three places are no longer sufficient to support Guangzhou's economic development.

People say there are "Miss Xiguan" and "Young Master Dongshan," referring to Liwan and Yuexiu districts respectively. As for Haizhu, it's too low-key.

Therefore, several districts, including Baiyun and Tianhe, have also been included in the economic development plan.

However, the time frame was too short, and Tianhe District is still mostly rural.

"Dad, are we spending Chinese New Year here this year?"

Back at his home on the island, during lunchtime, Wang Jun'an asked this question.

"No, we're only staying here for a while; we'll go back to our hometown for the Chinese New Year."

Wang Duoyu shook his head.

Just then, his phone rang; it was Yuan Youlan calling.

"Professor Wang, I heard you've returned to Guangzhou, is that right?"

"Yes, Secretary Yuan is really well-informed. Are you coming over? We're having lunch right now."

"Thank you, but I won't disturb Professor Wang's meal any longer."

Yuan Youlan gave an awkward smile and continued:

"Professor Wang, I was wondering if you'd be free this afternoon? I'd like to come over and have a chat with you."

"Sure, come on over."

Wang Duoyu did not refuse; he was also curious about what was going on with the other party coming to find him.

Actually, he had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

After all, Guangzhou's district layout seems to have started in the 1990s.

The original city center was Liwan, Yuexiu and Haizhu districts, but the central axis has changed drastically.

Otherwise, the capital at that time would most likely have been Guangzhou.

Alas, Guangzhou has always been excluded throughout history.

There is a Zhenhai Tower in Guangzhou, which is said to be not the Wanghai Tower or a five-story building.

It is a feng shui building used to suppress the dragon's energy.

Zhenhai Tower is located on Xiaopanlonggang in Yuexiu Mountain and was built in the thirteenth year of the Hongwu reign of the Ming Dynasty.

This location is the highest point on the central axis of Guangzhou, an ancient city that was built two years ago.

In addition, it is also known as Xiao Panlonggang.

This building is also known as Zhenhai Tower!
Haha, all these issues have been explained from various perspectives.

Yuan Youlan came at this exact moment to talk to Wang Duoyu about this matter, of all times.

It seems they've already brought up the issue of Guangzhou's feng shui layout, haven't they?
After all, the central axis of the old city area is completely destroyed.

So now the only option is to start from scratch.

Reconstructing a new urban central axis will revitalize Guangzhou.

In the afternoon, Yuan Youlan brought several people over, all of whom were locals from Guangzhou.

Wang Duoyu exchanged pleasantries with them without showing any emotion, and quietly watched their performance.

Although we don't know exactly what they want to do.

But it doesn't matter, Yuan Youlan and the others will definitely get restless and bring it up themselves.

Soon, after exchanging pleasantries, Yuan Youlan took the initiative to say:
"Professor Wang, it's like this, in recent years, Guangzhou's development has hit a bottleneck."

Therefore, after planning, they decided to make Tianhe District the new city center.

The area near Yuexiu District, including the Sports Plaza and Liede Village, will become the new urban center.

According to Yuan Youlan and his colleagues, this railway station, which was renamed Guangzhou East Station from Tianhe Station just a few years ago, should be expanded as soon as possible.

Because more and more tourists are coming from all over the country.

Meanwhile, tourists from Hong Kong and Macau arriving from Shenzhen all disembark at Guangzhou East Railway Station.

Therefore, the expansion of Guangzhou East Railway Station is imperative.

Starting from Guangzhou East Railway Station, heading south along this line, passing through Sports Square, Xiancun, Kecun, and other places, this area is planned to become the new urban central axis in the future.

However, the current situation is that Wang Duoyu's Facebook company, Motong Toys Factory, Huaxin Technology Factory, and other companies have taken over most of Xiancun and other areas.

In other words, the Magic Child Toy Factory and other similar facilities are all located on the city's central axis.

If that's really what they're doing, then that's just... inappropriate.

Therefore, either these businesses need to be relocated to other places, or a new central axis needs to be planned.

However, Yuan Youlan and his colleagues did discuss it.

But none of these options work, since there is a Yanling Park to the north of Guangzhou East Railway Station, which is part of Baiyun Mountain.

In this way, Yanling Park can actually be considered a small dragon vein of the southern branch, which has taken away part of the dragon vein of Baiyun Mountain.

The dragon's energy flows south from Yanling Park, passing through the Sports Square and Xiancun, before entering the Pearl River.

Therefore, the location of the city's central axis cannot be changed any further.

As for rescuing the old dragon in the old city...

Let's forget about it then, it's too difficult.

That's not suitable either!

It would be better to burn our bridges and start afresh.

"So, you want me to move these businesses out?"

After listening, Wang Duoyu looked at Yuan Youlan and the others with a strange expression.

"Professor Wang, please don't misunderstand, that's not what we meant."

Suddenly, Yuan Youlan quickly spoke up:

"We absolutely did not mean to ask you to leave. It's just that the new city plan is still under discussion, and the plan I just mentioned is the latest and most suitable one."

"If Professor Wang is willing, I hope the Want Want Group can get involved."

Upon hearing this, the other Guangzhou locals' eyes lit up.

Yup!

They really hadn't thought of that.

If the previous plan is followed, Wang Duoyu might be able to get Want Want Group to move out.

If all the companies under the Want Want Group were to relocate, it would be a huge loss for Guangzhou.

Although Guangzhou now has foreign-funded enterprises such as Toyota Motor, as well as a large number of Hong Kong-funded enterprises and Yuexiu Group, a local state-owned giant.

However, compared to Want Want Group, they are just small fry.

The Want Want Group's few factories and businesses in Guangzhou alone contribute significantly to Guangzhou's GDP every year.

Therefore, it is natural not to drive the Want Want Group away.

But will Wang Duoyu agree? (End of Chapter)
