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

Mid-to-late March 1991, Harbin, Weizigou Campus of Harbin Institute of Technology, Mathematics Department Teaching Building.

In a conference room, John Milnor, Smail, William Thurston, Andrew Wiles, Shing-Tung Yau, and others gathered to discuss one thing: the three proof papers on the Hodge conjecture submitted by Wang Duoyu.

"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's begin. Who wants to go first?"

Yau Shing-Tung began to speak.

He is the head of the Mathematics Department at Harbin Institute of Technology, and he also initiated today's meeting.

As early as last month, after Wiles received Wang Duoyu's submission email, the entire Harbin Institute of Technology was in an uproar.

It's been more than half a year since the International Congress of Mathematicians ended in the middle of last year, and everyone thought that Wang Duoyu wouldn't make any big moves for the time being.

Unexpectedly, a bombshell was dropped right after the Spring Festival.

Therefore, Qiu Chengtong and others put aside their other work and focused on reviewing Wang Duoyu's three papers proving the Hodge conjecture.

Hodge's conjecture was too difficult. Wang Duoyu found so many puzzle pieces and pieced them together into a castle according to certain rules.

Although there are only three papers, each one is excellent and very concise.

This has led to a sharp increase in the difficulty of the review process.

So at that time, Shing-Tung Yau discussed with everyone that they would split into three teams to review one of the papers each, and then hold a meeting to discuss them together after everyone had finished reviewing them.

Today is the first time we've discussed this.

"I'll go first!"

Smail immediately spoke:

"I read the first paper. I originally thought the first paper would be relatively easier, but I was wrong."

As Smail began his statement, everyone fell silent.

Charles Fefman, Daniel Gray, and Vladimir Feld also fell silent.

They were also among those who helped review the first paper, and they can testify that Smail did not lie.

In this case, it's doubtful they can complete the subsequent cross-audit within three months.

However, everyone was already mentally prepared.

Because this is Hodge's conjecture, everyone knows just how difficult it is.

Soon after Smail finished his presentation, Charles Feifman and the others continued to add their comments.

However, the discussion of the first paper took everyone a whole day.

The next day arrived, and it was time for the review, presentation, and discussion of the second paper.

This time, it includes Shing-Tung Yau, Joseph Cohen, Robert Langlands, William Thurston, Arancone, and others.

It takes the same amount of time, but it's simply impossible to finish.

Furthermore, their group also included two 'young mathematicians' in their early forties: Shing-Tung Yau, Alain Connie, and William Thurston.

Because the second paper is the most crucial component of the Hodge conjecture.

Of the three papers, the first paper has a total of 382 pages, the second has 637 pages, and the third has 467 pages.

Therefore, the importance and complexity of the second paper will be quite different.

None of that matters; for Shing-Tung Yau and his team, a challenge is better.

Besides, if Wang Duoyu can prove the Hodge conjecture, there's no reason why they can't even understand the paper, right?

The second paper was finally completed after the third day.

The third paper was reviewed by John Milnor, David Bryant Manford, Gerd Faltings, Jean Burgun, and others.

This last paper also took a little over a day to complete, with me working overtime for about two hours.

Next, the three groups will rotate and cross-review each other.

Wang Duoyu was unaware of what they were busy with.

In Beijing, at No. 87 Zhongguancun West Street, Wang Duoyu was reading the newspaper at home.

Since he needed to stay in Beijing until mid-March, Wang Jun'an, that little brat, went back to Harbin for classes ahead of schedule.

Liu Xiaoli stayed in Beijing with her two children, Wang Junkang and Wang Yifei. Two days later, Wang Meili and Wang Meihe brought Li Shumin and the other children to Beijing to keep Wang Yifei and the others company.

Kids can't do without playmates.

"Dad, don't you have to go to work today?" Wang Yifei walked over and leaned against her father, blinking her big eyes.

It was raining outside, and Wang Duoyu didn't go to work. He put down his newspaper and scooped the little guy into his arms.

"Yes, Dad's off today. Does your throat still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore, it feels much better. Daddy, can I continue singing?"

Ever since they attended Beyond's concert at the Guangzhou Sports Plaza on the night of March 10th, their voices have become extremely hoarse.

After resting for a few days and drinking some throat-soothing tea given by an old Chinese medicine doctor at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, I finally recovered.

Sure enough, just a few days later, Wang Yifei forgot all the pain and wanted to sing again.

"Do you really enjoy singing that much?"

Wang Duoyu thought to himself, "Could this little brat be planning to pursue a career in the entertainment industry?"

Although he doesn't mind, he can also make sure the little guy won't suffer any injustices in the entertainment industry.

But this is still his child, and he still hopes that the little guy can just be a happy little good-for-nothing.

I don't expect them to be particularly ambitious, but I do expect them to finish university. Well, it certainly can't be the kind of university you can get into just by scoring 179 points.

Anyway, Wang Duoyu couldn't afford to lose face.

Even if Wang Yifei is determined to pursue a career in the entertainment industry, Wang Duoyu will still require her to get into a regular university through her own efforts.

Yes, it's not some top-tier arts university like Beijing Film Academy, Shanghai Theatre Academy, or Central Academy of Drama, but a regular university.

Even if Wang Yifei is very talented in art and sports, Wang Duoyu would not let her apply to art schools or sports schools; she could only attend an ordinary university.

We need to let him finish university in peace and quiet.

Summer and winter vacations are fine; she can go wherever she wants, travel, or even film and sing.

But if she dares to fail her exams, Wang Duoyu will definitely dare to whip her.

Well, if he can't bring himself to do it, then the eldest or second eldest brother can do it. It's perfectly fine for the older brother to teach his younger sister a lesson.

"Yes, singing is a lot of fun."

As Wang Yifei's clear voice rang out, her eyes were filled with longing for singing, completely unaware that her father's gaze had gradually changed.

She was unaware that her future had already been decided.

Who told her elderly father to lose face like that?

Children who haven't received formal higher education and haven't studied diligently for years will never become successful.

Even if there are a few special cases, it is due to the times that shaped them, not because they were particularly outstanding.

Why is there a saying that wealth doesn't last three generations?

Because some generations are created by the times, and they become the controllers of resources without even realizing it, not because they are particularly capable.

This resulted in a complete lack of understanding of how to raise the second generation, and even the fact that the child was spoiled by a mediocre wife.

Those second-generation rich kids who lack real talent or ability are prone to extremes when faced with setbacks.

Wang Duoyu naturally didn't want his child to become like that.

Therefore, the simplest solution is to let children follow the path of ordinary people, study diligently, and go to school step by step.

If the second and third brothers and Qianqian could be like Wang Junhong, Wang Duoyu would have a much easier time.

However, judging from the current situation, the second son, Wang Jun'an, is not as good as the eldest son, Wang Junhong.

You can't force it; you can only take it slowly.

"Dad, Dad, why are you staring at me? There's no rice on my face."

The little guy waved his little hands in front of him, and Wang Duoyu finally came to his senses.

"There's no rice on your face, but you're my daughter. Can't I even look at you?"

"Hehe, Dad, you can keep watching, but how long are you going to watch? I'm going to play drop the handkerchief with the kid next door later."

Hearing the little guy's words, Wang Duoyu couldn't help but chuckle.

He's worrying too much.

Perhaps the little one wants to sing now, but what about when she gets a little older?

Therefore, he doesn't need to worry unnecessarily about things that haven't happened yet.

Just follow the current steps and take it slowly.

Let's observe Wang Yifei more closely when she starts elementary school.

After the little guy got down from his arms and ran far away, Wang Duoyu finally turned his attention to the newspaper in front of him.

This is the People's Daily, reporting on the crash of United Airlines Flight 585 in early March.

He didn't know why there had been so many news reports about plane crashes or aviation accidents around the world in the past few months.

It might be related to his previous successful emergency landing on the Songhua River. Whenever he sees news like this, he can't help but take a few more glances.

This is why every time Wang Duoyu boards a plane, he immediately asks Yuan Zuliang and the others to check the emergency landing parachutes, oxygen masks, and other equipment.

Although airplanes are the safest mode of transportation, accidents are rare.

But if something unexpected happens, then you'll be reporting to the King of Hell.

The experience of making an emergency landing on the Songhua River seven or eight years ago was just a stroke of luck.

No one can guarantee that they will be so lucky next time.

As time went by, it was already mid-to-late March. Wang Duoyu did not return to Harbin, but instead headed straight for Jiangnan.

Domestically, things are calm and nothing has happened.

However, quite a few things have happened overseas.

Unrest has broken out in Africa; civil war has erupted in Sierra Leone.

This incident didn't affect many people, since it happened on the African continent.

But for Baron Carter, an ammunition sales representative who was trying to find customers, that was a big deal.

Byron Carter was just a middleman; he helped connect clients and earned a commission in return.

The Gulf War is now nearing its end.

Majid Hussein doesn't really need to buy military equipment anymore; even if he were to buy some, it would be next time.

After several operations, including Desert Storm, Majid Hussein was terrified and dared not cause any more trouble.
Do you really think that the three major US carrier strike groups docked in the Mediterranean, Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean are just for show?
Anyway, Kuwait is no longer one of their provinces, so Majid Hussein wouldn't dare to stay and not run away.

He simply set all of Kuwait's oil fields on fire.

Given the current situation, even the United States and its eighteen-nation coalition...

They occupied Kuwait, but they didn't dare to move in.

Because thick smoke was billowing everywhere.

Baron Carter also left Iraq early on; the place was too eerie.

There is still unrest in other parts of the Middle East, and there are buyers who want to purchase military equipment, but they only need low-powered weapons that are not worth much money.

On the other hand, Sierra Leone is fighting fiercely, demanding missiles right off the bat.

For Baron Carter, anything is negotiable as long as there's money involved.

So what is there in Sierra Leone?

It has abundant natural mineral resources, such as the famous blood diamond producing region, Sierra Leone.

As a result, there were several wealthy and powerful warlords in the area who were the buyers of the missiles.

After reaching an agreement with these major warlords, Byron Carter contacted Facebook's transportation department via satellite phone.

So the missiles purchased from Moscow traveled along the Atlantic Ocean to Sierra Leone.

This should have been a smooth arms deal.

But on the very day of the transaction, someone appeared near the transaction site.

That was an American arms dealer named Hornzoy, a sworn enemy of Baron Carter, who had previously targeted him several times in the Middle East.

Hornzoi brought a team of over a hundred men, the Sierra Leonean warlord had over a hundred soldiers as bodyguards, Facebook had over eighty retired U.S. Special Forces soldiers as bodyguards, and Byron Carter also had two bodyguards.

The three forces have gathered together, and a major battle is about to break out.

Facebook is certainly not happy about Hornzoi trying to steal its business.

But before Facebook could even speak, Byron Carter fired the first shot.

Bang!
Chaos erupted as Byron Carter drew his gun.

No one expected Byron Carter to be so decisive; now, things are in big trouble.

Facebook's bodyguards are all retired special forces soldiers, making them more capable and better equipped.

However, in such small-scale conflicts, suppressive firepower is the key.

Unfortunately, Hornzoi also brought a lot of weapons with him.

Since no one had completed the deal, tragically, the major warlord on the Sierra Leone side was killed in a hail of bullets first.

Then it was a shootout between Facebook and Hornzoi.

If it's just about suppressing firepower, then Hornzoy is definitely not enough.

In particular, when Hornzoi saw the burly bodyguard from Facebook, he took out a satellite phone and gave Hornzoi and his team their exact coordinates.

As an American himself, how could Hornzoi not know what coordinates mean?
The next moment, a patrol drone more than ten kilometers away quickly flew over. When it was still five kilometers away from its destination, a missile fell from the underside of the drone's control room, followed by a long trail of flame.

They sped toward where Hornzoi and his group were.

"Fuck, get out of the way!"

Hornzoi had already realized something, and his eyes widened in fury as he roared.

He escaped, but his bodyguards perished in the flames.

With very accurate coordinates, the missile hit precisely, causing its blast radius to fall exactly in the center of Hornzoi's group.

Hornzoy and the others, who were hiding behind the boulder, escaped unharmed.

However, the people behind the big tree were directly shattered by the shockwave from the missile explosion.

One of the most powerful aspects of a bomb is its shockwave.

Moreover, these people were still in the epicenter of the explosion, within a hundred meters.

No wonder he's dead!
After the massive explosion, Facebook began its counterattack.

Byron Carter, on the other hand, was overjoyed and, accompanied by two bodyguards, rushed to the front.

This is a good opportunity for him to take down Hornzoi.

In a place like Sierra Leone, eliminating the opponent without anyone noticing is incredibly satisfying for Byron Carter.

"Fuck, where is he?"

Upon arriving at the explosion site, especially the spot where Hornzoi had just taken cover, Byron Carter found no body.

Since no body was found, they must have escaped.

Chase!
Facebook executives did not pursue the matter; their goal was simple: to make money.

In the chaos of the battle just now, the Sierra Leonean warlord and his soldiers and bodyguards were either killed or fled.

A large amount of valuables, including diamonds, gold, and US dollars, were left behind and picked up by Facebook executives for free.

With Baron Carter gone, Facebook executives then arranged for people to connect with other major warlords.

A few days later, the situation in Africa was reported to Zheng Baoyin and his team.

Only then did Zheng Baoyin and his team realize that trouble had broken out again in Africa.

Of course, Sierra Leone is a relatively well-developed region; it's not extremely chaotic.

In short, the impact on the global economy is not that significant.

Even so, for the locals in Sierra Leone, it was a man-made disaster.

Throughout Sierra Leone, the prosperity of the central cities stands in stark contrast to the closed-off and underdeveloped countryside.

As a result, rural residents' dissatisfaction with cities has been accumulating and deepening.

Now, the rural representative Sanko has launched an offensive, and the warlord Bombali, who wants to suppress all unrest with overwhelming force, has approached Facebook and purchased a large number of missiles.

Bombali, who thought victory was assured, never expected that Sanko had also purchased a large amount of weapons and equipment.

It turns out that there were two arms dealers in the United States who provided gunpowder support to Sanko.

Now, the battle between the two sides is likely to be quite long.

The headquarters office building of Want Want Group in Los Angeles, USA.

Zheng Baoyin is having a meeting with O'Brien and others.

"April is almost here, and our Qingming Festival in China is approaching. We will go back to pay respects to our ancestors then."

"Therefore, we need to roughly summarize our profits from shorting crude oil last year, as well as our total profits from shorting the Japanese stock market."

Upon hearing this, Lee Efra immediately responded:
"I spoke with Fuller Carson and the others a couple of days ago, and they've already compiled the information."

The third oil crisis lasted from August of last year to April of this year.

The Gulf War has now gradually come to a halt, and the United States has not continued to press its advantage because it is busy putting out fires in Kuwait's oil fields.

This gave Majid Hussein a breather, preventing him from being killed immediately.

Even so, Majid Hussein's side suffered heavy losses, with terrifying casualties.

Judging from the current situation, the Gulf War will not continue.

Global oil prices have fallen to $22 per barrel, a far cry from the $42 per barrel price in October last year.

Want Want Group initially went long, then sold off all its holdings, and subsequently went short.

They made a fortune in one go.

This is similar to Japan's bubble economy. The Nikkei index has already plummeted to 20500, and it's only a matter of time before it falls below 20,000 points.

In other words, it is still possible to continue shorting.

Anyway, Japan's bubble economy will continue for many years, and the Nikkei index will continue to fall in the next few years, just not as fast.

At this moment, Japan is not exactly in a state of economic depression, but there are definitely many people living with debt.

There is no future in sight; there is absolutely no hope.

The landlord's dream has shattered, and housing prices have plummeted, but debt has not.

I used to dream of becoming a landlord, but now I can only watch helplessly as property prices fall and I continue to be burdened with debt.

The house has been sold, but the amount of debt that can be repaid is still not much less.

Even worse are those who haven't sold their houses yet, facing both high debt and interest on one hand, and declining wages on the other.

There is no way I can live this day.

Zheng Baoyin and Wang Jianchao were aware of the situation in Japan, but they made no comment.

In fact, if possible, they would be even happier if things were worse in Japan.

"We still need to pay close attention to the arms trade in the Middle East and Africa. Although we want to make money, we can't afford to have too many conflicts with other arms dealers. Of course, we're not afraid of trouble."

Wang Jianchao suddenly mentioned it.

After all, it was both Hornzoy and the original middleman, Byron Carter.

These people are all opportunistic and treacherous; we can cooperate with them, but there's absolutely no need for us to have much contact.

The Sierra Leone issue may be a big deal or a small deal, but it's not a big deal for Want Want Group.

Whether it's weapons or equipment from military factories, once you get them, you should quickly ship them out of Moscow.

Another issue is the nuclear submarine. Transporting it back to China is no simple matter.

It can only cross over from the Arctic Ocean, then enter the Pacific Ocean, and then follow the current into the East China Sea.

However, after the nuclear submarine deal was completed, Kirkhlovsky also helped introduce an aircraft carrier.

This isn't a nuclear submarine, you can't just buy it like that.

The risk of exposure is very high.

As for dismantling it and then transporting it back?
That's hard to say.

And most importantly, there are only a handful of countries in the world that can afford this thing.

After all, very few people can afford it and dare to buy it.

Moreover, after Caltim reported the matter, Zheng Baoyin spoke to Wang Duoyu about it, but the latter said he would ignore it for the time being.

Meanwhile, the nuclear submarine was also kept in the port of St. Petersburg, and there was no rush to transport it away.

That's the thing.

The global situation is a bit complicated. Although Zheng Baoyin and his team have been living in the United States for many years, so what?
Because this doesn't mean they have access to many secret things.

Jiangnan, Nanxun.

Wang Duoyu has been here for more than a week. Although he has not yet completed the theoretical research on anti-gravity technology, he has finally completed some of the calculations.

The theoretical work on antigravity technology is not so easy to perfect. It is not just about solving mathematical models and calculations, but also involves a lot of theoretical research at the physical level.

Under the influence of quantum mechanical effects, the physical gravitational field generated by the electric field will produce a non-negligible shift in Igor's field.

When an object is in a safe state in an environment with gravity and an electric field, and when the quantum mechanical effect exceeds the object's own gravity, it will fly upward in the air without being affected by gravity.

In addition, since the generation of quantum mechanical effects is related to the degree of electric field, quantum mechanical effects are often stronger in a strong electric field environment, thus enabling anti-gravity technology to perform better in this environment.

By the time Wang Duoyu's anti-gravity technology theory could be further improved, it was already April 3rd.

"go home!"

Hearing her father's words, Wang Yifei, who hadn't had enough fun yet, couldn't help but say:
"Dad, can we stay for two more days? I want to go fishing again."

For the past week or so, Wang Duoyu has stayed in his room, never leaving the house.

The reason he came here instead of staying in the capital was because there would always be people bothering him there.

Nanxun Ancient Town is different. The environment here is more tranquil, and the weather at the end of March and the beginning of April is just right, neither too hot nor too cold, making it the most livable season.

However, after arriving in Nanxun Ancient Town, Wang Yifei, Li Shumin, Lu Yuexin and the other girls went off to play everywhere.

Catching fish and shrimp in the stream is one of their favorite activities.

Because it's a lot of fun.

Since there are still many children playing this activity, Wang Yifei is not too keen on returning to Dahonggou Village at this time.

"The Qingming Festival is coming soon, and your cousins ​​will all be back. We can set off firecrackers then."

Upon hearing this, the little girl immediately asked a couple of questions, then turned and ran back to her room to pack her things.

Wang Duoyu was quite surprised to see the little guy so eager.

That afternoon, Wang Duoyu and his group arrived at Hongqiao Airport and then took a plane straight to Shuanghe County.

By the time we arrived at our destination, it was almost dusk.

By the time they returned to Dahonggou Village by car, the sun had already set.

Meanwhile, the village was quite lively.

Many children have returned, including Wang Junhong, Li Rongrong, Lu Yuening, and Wang Junan, who are all students.

Although the Qingming Festival is on the 5th, the holiday started on the afternoon of the 3rd after school.

On the fourth day, we need to worship our ancestors, but we are worshipping the more distant ancestors.

The Wang family line has only been passed down for a few generations in Dahonggou Village, so there aren't many ancestors to worship.

Wang Duoyu also gave himself a two-day holiday.

Qingming Festival is a time for ancestor worship, and it is also a time for him to take a vacation.

Zheng Baoyin and his group returned at 2 PM on the 4th.

After returning, he went straight to Wang Duoyu's house to discuss the aircraft carrier.

"Uncle Jiu, should we buy it or not?" Wang Jianchao was getting anxious.

Our country has never had a powerful weapon like an aircraft carrier.

Of course, I really crave this.

"What's the rush? Are you rich? Or are you incredibly powerful?" Wang Duoyu glared at him.
"We have satellites overhead, but these days other people's satellites are incredibly powerful; they can see everything we're doing in no time."

"Let alone buying an aircraft carrier, even if we had the capability to build one, we wouldn't dare to openly begin construction at this time."

So don't get involved.

Doesn't Wang Duoyu want an aircraft carrier?
But does he dare?
Even if Kirkhlovsky dared to sell the aircraft carrier as scrap metal, he wouldn't dare to bring it back so easily.

They might not even dare to demolish it!

Nuclear submarines are relatively easy to deal with; these things travel on the seabed and can stay submerged for more than twenty days.

If there are supplies to replenish along the way, then it will be even simpler.

However, aircraft carriers are different.

Wang Duoyu even believed that Kirkhorovsky's side was already being watched.

That's why he told Zheng Baoyin and his men not to rush to bring the nuclear submarine back, lest they be targeted.

Who knows if there will be rats among the soldiers on the nuclear submarine?
If there really is a rat, especially if that rat is a damn radio soldier, then we're in big trouble.

Therefore, Wang Duoyu was not in a hurry about this and planned and strategized slowly.

The reason why Want Want Group has remained undiscovered to this day is because of its cunning and shrewdness!
"Okay, Uncle Jiu, I understand!" Wang Jianchao replied dejectedly.

Since his ninth uncle said so, it's time for him to wake up from his aircraft carrier dream.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Baoyin was also very disappointed.

They had spent so much time in the United States and were often abroad, but they didn't feel that the moon was brighter overseas than in China.

However, it must be acknowledged that China is indeed not as developed as other countries today.

In every aspect, we have fallen far behind foreign countries.

Especially aircraft carriers.

They have eleven carrier strike groups that roam freely across the Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic Oceans around the world.

The Gulf War in recent times.

The United States has already proposed that it needs a real-time global strike system.

The army must be able to deploy a brigade within 96 hours, a division within 120 hours, and five divisions to any region of the world within 30 days.

Simply put, it's about giving the army wings to fly.

During the Gulf War, they perfectly executed this so-called real-time global strike system.

Within 42 days, 430,000 troops were deployed to the Gulf region.

Horror!
Zheng Baoyin and Wang Jianchao are both men, and their views on war may differ slightly.

But they all hope that their country can become strong.

If they could have an aircraft carrier battle group, they could stand tall in the United States.

Now, it's not easy to have such a good opportunity to get in touch with an aircraft carrier.

Unfortunately, Wang Duoyu disagreed.

"What are you still thinking about?" Wang Duoyu tapped on the desk, reminding Zheng Baoyin and Wang Jianchao to wake up.

Just then, there was a knock on the study door.

After Wang Duoyu called out "Come in," three people walked in: Lu Qingsong, Wang Meili, and Wang Meihe.

"Ninth Brother, we're back."

"Why are you here?"

Tomorrow is Qingming Festival. Why are they coming to Dahonggou Village instead of going back to their hometown?
Do they really think they're from the Wang family?

Zheng Baoyin is different; he originally lived near Dahonggou Village.

After his mother left, the whole family has now moved back to Dahonggou Village.

But Lu Qingsong and his group are different.

"Ninth Brother, we've already finished paying respects to our ancestors. We start our ancestral worship earlier where we're from."

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu waved his hand and said:
"Alright, then sit down and listen."

Zheng Baoyin then continued his work report, this time about the profits from shorting oil.

The Want Want Group earned $9.86 billion.

It's not a lot, but it's definitely not a small amount either.

Most of the international speculative capital, as well as Wall Street capital, have probably had a significant portion of their profits taken by Want Want Group.

From the Plaza Accord of 1985, to the Louvre Accord and Black Monday in the US stock market in 1987, to bottom-fishing in US stocks and shorting Japan, and then to going long and short on oil last year.

In just six or seven years, Want Want Group has reaped one or two hundred billion US dollars from this.

Even though the Federal Reserve prints money very quickly, it can't stop Want Want Group from acting as a middleman in the process.

As long as the dollar system doesn't collapse, Want Want Group will still have the opportunity to continue profiting from loopholes.

How much money did you yourselves make?

Wang Duoyu suddenly asked.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across the faces of Zheng Baoyin, Wang Jianchao, and Lu Qingsong.

In fact, Wang Duoyu had said before that they could invest on their own.

Everyone originally thought that Wang Duoyu wouldn't pay attention to this.

Unexpectedly, they're still asking about this matter now.

"Uncle, I didn't earn much, just over eight hundred million US dollars."

Upon hearing Zheng Baoyin's words, Wang Duoyu's eyes widened:
"Over eight hundred million US dollars, and you call that not a lot?"

That's quite a boast.

When did eight hundred million US dollars become considered not much?

After glaring at Zheng Baoyin, Wang Duoyu looked at his nephew Wang Jianchao and raised an eyebrow, saying:
"What about you?"

"Uncle Jiu, I didn't earn that much, only 1.1 billion."

Wang Duoyu: “.”

Okay, okay, so they all know about Versailles now, right?
Subsequently, the two sisters, Wang Meili and Wang Meihe, also stated that they had earned 600 million and 650 million US dollars respectively.

Well, since they're all so rich, Wang Duoyu can't just leave them without assigning them some tasks.

"You are all very wealthy now, and you are very knowledgeable about things abroad. In that case, let's start organizing a Super League football tournament in Harbin this year."

"You'll be in charge of funding the construction of the football fields. At least eight large indoor football fields should be built in Harbin."

"You'll have to build your own football team and find your own sponsors."

"Tickets for the game should be priced at two cents; they can't be too expensive, but they also can't be completely unavailable."

Two cents for a ticket? That's so cheap!
However, there was no other way, because Wang Duoyu's idea was to develop football in China.

Actually, the atmosphere for football in China is still quite strong.

Playing football is also a way out for many children from poor families.

In the original timeline, in 2002, the Chinese national football team qualified for the World Cup for the only time.

After that, it won't work.

Therefore, Wang Duoyu's idea was very simple: to de-lead and directly operate through capitalization.

Let's start with the Super League in Harbin.

If a city's football league can become so exciting, then there's no need to say more.

in the country, no one can compare to Want Want Group in terms of background or anything like that.

There's no need for any fancy stuff. After the audience enters, the national flag is raised, and then the competition begins.

Moreover, the results of the competition must not be announced the night before.

"what?"

Zheng Baoyin, Wang Jianchao, and Lu Qingsong all gaped open.

He stared at Wang Duoyu with disbelief.

They really hadn't expected this sudden turn of events.

"Ah for what?"

Wang Duoyu glared and said:

"You guys figure out the rest yourselves. Oh, and you can talk to Lee Efra and the others later to see if they want to start a football team."

"I'm warning you, fair competition is key. Insider trading is strictly prohibited. Anyone who tries to do this will... well, you know."

Zheng Baoyin and the others, who hadn't reacted yet, now felt a chill run down their spines.

To be honest, when Wang Duoyu had a cold expression, the younger generation were indeed afraid.

The matter was settled just like that.

Wang Duoyu then asked Wang Jianchao to continue his work report.

The initial profits from shorting Japan have been fully realized.

The total is $8.8 billion.

With these two sums of money, Wang Duoyu can do even more.

Last month, he finished talking with the top two officials in four cities: Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, and Harbin, and invested in several Grade A office building projects in each city.

Based on an investment of 5 billion RMB per office building.

The minimum investment in Shanghai is 20 billion RMB, in Guangzhou it's 15 billion RMB, and in Beijing and Harbin it's around 18 billion RMB.

That adds up to about 710 RMB.

Although these investments are not made all at once, they will definitely be made over the next three to five years.

But now, Want Want Group has received US$9.86 billion and US$8.8 billion respectively.

Adding them together, that's $14.68 billion, which is over 58 billion yuan.

This can greatly alleviate some of the financial pressure.

On the other hand, since Zheng Baoyin and his ilk are so wealthy, it's time for them to contribute some of their funds to invest in China and promote the country's economic development.

Otherwise, they would spend that money abroad, which would contribute to the GDP of other countries.

That definitely won't work.

The best positive cycle is to earn money abroad and spend it domestically.

"Alright, I understand. Let's eat first. After the Qingming Festival, on the 8th, we'll have an internet conference call to address the questions you raised earlier. I'll explain everything to you in detail then."

Wang Duoyu said this, and Zheng Baoyin and the others were overjoyed, repeatedly saying that there was no problem.

For them, all they need to do is resolve the issues related to arms sales and provide the most suitable guidelines and strategies.

Then they can just sit back and wait to collect the money.

The arms trade touched upon a blind spot in their knowledge.

It's normal not to understand.

Just then, Wang Duoyu, who had just opened the study door, heard Wang Yifei crying outside.

This immediately made his heart tighten. (End of Chapter)
