The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology
Chapter 416 New Methods and Materials: Wang Yifei Cries in grievance.
Washington, D.C., 1992.
At a golf course 15 kilometers from the White House.
Hela O'Brien, Lee Evra, and Allen Costa have already met with George Herbert.
After they met, they chatted while playing ball, without any of the tension that would normally be expected in a negotiation.
Wang Duoyu was also observing the negotiations remotely.
They also made O'Brien wear a state-of-the-art headset.
These are very small headphones, representing the latest technological achievement of Harbin Institute of Technology.
It's actually a communication device prepared for intelligence personnel, anti-drug police, and the like.
These communication devices are very advanced and do not transmit signals via radio waves, but rather via sound waves.
As is well known, wireless communication and transmission do not require a medium, their speed is close to the speed of light, and their frequency range covers long waves, medium waves, short waves, microwaves, etc.
That is, electromagnetic waves, but this type of propagation is easily obscured by signals and cannot be transmitted.
The headphones O'Brien was wearing were a combination of sound waves and light waves.
This golf course was acquired by the Want Want Group long ago, and they are using sound waves to transmit signals wirelessly.
The signal receiver and transmitter are located in various corners of the golf course, completely invisible to outsiders.
The signal, located in Harbin, was transmitted via fiber optic cable to the Washington, D.C. golf course, and then relayed to O'Brien's headset via a transmitter on the course.
This will enable a dialogue based on facts.
Of course, O'Brien didn't need to talk to Wang Duoyu; the latter was simply controlling him remotely.
After exchanging pleasantries, George Herbert quickly pressed O'Brien on what the intentions of his European consortium were.
"Our intentions? Mr. Herbert, as we have already stated, we simply hope that His Excellency the President will continue to earnestly implement the Information Superhighway project."
Of course, George Herbert wouldn't believe that.
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
In fact, this was exactly Wang Duoyu's intention.
After all, George Herbert will most likely push forward with other major initiatives.
It might even lead us to join the WTO and accelerate the negotiation process.
Therefore, Wang Duoyu naturally didn't have much of an intention.
However, George Herbert was terrified by the greed of American conglomerates.
Therefore, he naturally didn't believe that O'Brien and his group's intentions were so simple.
The next round of golf lasted for over an hour, but George Herbert still couldn't figure out O'Brien's true intentions.
Since that's the case, then this matter can only end here.
Back in his White House office, George Herbert still had Duknigan relay the message: they accepted the $100 million sponsorship.
But the next day, Dukenigan returned with a check for one hundred million dollars, and a single sentence:
"Mr. President, they want us to mention the Information Superhighway plan multiple times during the campaign, and to say that this plan can solve the problem of the soaring unemployment rate in the United States."
George Herbert nodded, indicating that he understood.
O'Brien and the others made it very clear yesterday at the golf course.
Once the information superhighway plan is fully implemented, it will indeed create many new jobs, which is very good news for the United States right now.
Now that this problem can be solved, giving George Herbert a sure win, he certainly wouldn't mind giving the European consortium a little something in return.
Kennedy Space Center, Florida, USA.
In the satellite monitoring office area, Ailiya stares at the computer monitor, ready to report any abnormalities to her superiors in real time.
Over the past six months, she has detected a super-high-speed aircraft using low-orbit satellites.
It looks like an intercontinental ballistic missile, but not quite.
However, this thing is too fast, so she hasn't been able to detect it yet.
Low-Earth orbit satellites are generally located at an altitude of four to five hundred kilometers above the ground.
Even at such a distance, it would be a pipe dream for a satellite camera to clearly capture an aircraft traveling at Mach 5 within the atmosphere.
After all, such low-orbit satellites also fly at a considerable speed, with an orbital speed of 7.8 kilometers per second, equivalent to Mach 22, which is much faster than Mach 5.
"Aria, you still haven't been able to take a clear picture of that aircraft between Asia and the Pacific?"
Just then, the supervisor walked over.
Aria shook her head and said:
"It's too blurry to see clearly. Unless we can use a device like the Hubble Space Telescope or other high-end cameras, it's unlikely we can capture it."
"No, we don't have that kind of funding."
The Hubble Space Telescope was too expensive to build; the initial budget for the project was only $200 million.
But now it seems that it will cost at least 1.5 billion US dollars.
Furthermore, they will need to carry out repairs next year, which will inevitably incur considerable costs.
It was just for taking a photo; the supervisor was absolutely certain that the higher-ups wouldn't approve this absurd request.
"How about we get the Blackbird reconnaissance planes to help with reconnaissance?"
Upon hearing this, the supervisor shook his head again:
"No, that's too risky. The enemy is traveling at Mach 5. If it's a missile, our Blackbird reconnaissance plane won't be able to escape."
The total cost of a Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft is at least five or six hundred million US dollars, or even more.
If he really loses a Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft, then his job as supervisor is over.
So can't take risks.
Upon hearing this, Aria rolled her eyes and said, "Then we'll just have to wait."
If we happen to have a satellite in such a flight path next time, and can capture it at that moment, then that will be fine.
October has arrived in the blink of an eye.
After entering October, the temperature in Harbin gradually became colder.
Wang Duoyu received a phone call and left Harbin for a secret military base in the suburbs.
"what happened?"
The person in charge said with a serious expression:
"Based on our radar signals and satellite feedback, over the past six months, our Mach 5 fighter jets have consistently been monitored by satellites during test flights."
The Mach 5 fighter jet is currently the most classified aircraft in China, bar none.
Even the J-10, which is currently under development, is far less classified and important than the Mach 5 fighter jet.
Therefore, the person in charge was quite afraid of a leak when this happened.
Test flights are inevitable, but the satellites overhead are always there, so what can be done?
Wang Duoyu heard this and pondered for a while before saying:
"No rush. If they want to see it, let them film it, though they probably won't be able to."
"Even if they did find out, we might already be able to mass-produce it."
Whether it's fighter jets, aircraft carriers, bombers, or transport planes, it's impossible to completely hide many types of equipment.
The future belongs to satellites.
The United States has the world's largest industrial capacity, and it launches countless satellites into space.
Although NASA's strength began to decline gradually after the 1970s, and the amount of funding it received each year decreased.
However, it is undeniable that NASA remains the world's number one organization.
Unparalleled in the world!
Since their satellites are like the stars in the sky, twinkling and shining, they could naturally detect our fighter jets and other equipment.
We can't throw the baby out with the bathwater, can we?
That's definitely impossible.
"Okay, Professor Wang, I understand."
Upon hearing Wang Duoyu's words, the person in charge immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, how's the test flight going? Are there many adjustments needed?"
Wang Duoyu pressed for an answer.
The Mach 5 fighter jet project has been underway for over ten years now.
This is currently the most advanced aircraft technology in the world; it is unique and unparalleled globally.
"not much."
"That's good. Complete the test flight as soon as possible, and then start mass production."
After a pause, Wang Duoyu continued to instruct:
"During the test flight, all possible scenarios must be considered thoroughly. Extremely low-altitude flight is out of the question and must absolutely not be tested."
"However, we must thoroughly test the flight speeds at different altitudes, such as several thousand meters and ten thousand meters, and obtain more comprehensive test data."
"In addition, data on aspects such as fuel tank capacity must be ensured, as this will greatly help us in subsequent improvements to the aircraft design."
"Can we ensure that we can conduct test flights with weapons loaded in the second half of next year?"
The current fighter jets are only undergoing routine test flights. Specific tests involving loading ammunition and actual combat training will take much longer.
The prototype aircraft underwent test flights earlier this year.
The second prototype for loading and testing missiles is already in the wind tunnel laboratory.
All aircraft engines need to undergo hundreds or thousands of hours of acceptance testing before they can proceed to the next stage of ground flight testing.
Upon hearing this, the person in charge pondered for a moment and said:
"Professor Wang, based on the current data, we can be fairly certain that the test flight can proceed as planned in the second half of next year. However, with satellite monitoring in place, we are concerned about the possibility of unforeseen circumstances."
Wang Duoyu said:
"We don't need to worry about those things; we just need to do our own jobs well."
"In future test flights, we'll try to fly to the Pacific Ocean and neighboring countries as much as possible; the point is to create confusion."
Who is the next-door neighbor?
I know everything!
Our Mach 5 fighter jets flew at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters over the neighboring country. They didn't even have time to react before we had already left their airspace.
After all, a speed of Mach 5 is no joke.
After leaving the military base, Wang Duoyu returned to Harbin Institute of Technology.
I had just gotten home when I received a phone call from Wen Shixuan.
"Professor, we completed the task. We passed the test and fully met the Level 12 material standard you mentioned earlier. This is absolutely a victory for our laboratory."
Has Wen Shixuan and his team developed the material he wanted?
Wang Duoyu was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed with great joy:
"Okay, which lab are you in? Okay, okay, I'll be right there."
Red Star Group has multiple laboratories across the country, and this time it was the laboratory at its headquarters in Harbin that achieved a significant technological breakthrough.
The magnetic plasma engine project requires the development of several materials, and Hongxing Group is responsible for the development of several key materials.
Once the magnetic plasma engine is successfully developed, its impact on the Nantianmen Project will undoubtedly be enormous.
Inside the Kitamatsupu Experimental Base, after Wang Duoyu's car stopped, and after Yuan Zuliang and the others confirmed that it was safe, Wang Duoyu quickly got out of the car and walked into the laboratory.
Wen Shixuan and others had been waiting for a long time.
"Where are the materials?"
After entering, Wang Duoyu couldn't wait to ask questions. Wen Shixuan wanted to exchange a few more pleasantries, but upon hearing this, he quickly led the way.
Soon, Wang Duoyu saw the new material he wanted.
It is a very ordinary piece of metal alloy material that resembles steel and has a silvery color.
But none of that matters; the most important thing is its nature.
"Professor, we have conducted comprehensive tests on it, and its corrosion resistance is extremely strong."
Standing next to Wang Duoyu, Wen Shixuan excitedly reported.
For a new material used in an engine, corrosion resistance is not actually the most important requirement.
Strength, compressive strength, high and low temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and quality, etc.
The material Wang Duoyu was holding was only 6.5 times lighter than a normal alloy, but its strength and other properties were several times that of so-called titanium alloys.
It can be said that it surpasses current titanium alloys in every aspect.
"How many times more expensive is it than titanium alloy?"
After Wen Shixuan finished speaking, Wang Duoyu asked about the most crucial point.
The alloy material in front of us can perfectly replace the current titanium alloy material, so its cost must not be cheap.
Before Wang Duoyu's time travel, he had never heard of such an aerospace alloy material.
If it happens, it will definitely be reported.
Especially if its material costs are very low, it is even more likely to be reported.
"About twice as much."
Wen Shixuan's answer was exactly what Wang Duoyu expected.
He can accept this cost.
But he still addressed Wen Shixuan:
"Continue research and development to reduce costs and improve performance."
Titanium alloys are one of the most mainstream aerospace materials in the world today, but their cost is indeed not low.
In particular, the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft uses this titanium alloy material for more than 60% of its fuselage.
It is said that in the 1950s and 60s, CIA agents were trying to obtain large quantities of titanium ore from Moscow, which caused the cost of each Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft to skyrocket.
The manufacturing cost per Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft is two billion US dollars.
Wang Duoyu had seen this news report; the cost of each aircraft was two billion US dollars, which was truly an exaggeration.
However, it is entirely possible that each aircraft would cost at least five or six hundred million US dollars.
After all, the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft needs to be inspected every time it flies, and the cost of each inspection is no less than 20 million US dollars.
This is the real reason why the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft was eventually retired.
"Okay, Professor, we understand."
Wen Shixuan nodded seriously, and Wang Duoyu continued:
"This time, Red Star Group has not disappointed me. I believe you will be very satisfied with this year's year-end bonus."
"I hope you can continue your efforts and create even greater achievements."
After spending more than an hour at the laboratory base, Wang Duoyu inspected the research and development progress of other materials, offered a few words of encouragement, and then turned and left the Beisongpu Experimental Base.
Back in his study villa on the island in the middle of the lake at Harbin Institute of Technology, Wang Duoyu sat down and quietly pondered.
He's had a relatively smooth year so far.
If George Herbert's side can successfully pass the election, then this will be Wang Duoyu's first major intervention in this world since his transmigration.
The differences between Clinton and George Herbert are very significant.
The former is a smiling tiger, willing to do anything for profit, but the latter is more politically correct American natives, puppets of capital.
But George Herbert was different; he had a strong affinity for China.
I met our great man many years ago.
Even our great leader once told George Herbert: You will definitely become president someday.
This prophecy was absolutely correct.
On the other hand, George Herbert was very fond of Chinese food.
All of these factors, if he were to be re-elected, would indeed be much better than Clinton's situation.
Wang Duoyu is currently unsure whether this matter will proceed smoothly.
The final results won't be available until early November.
Recently, Zheng Baoyin and his team have been doing their utmost to assist George Herbert.
In terms of the popular vote, they may only be able to barely close the gap, since that bastard Ross Perot, the independent candidate from the third party, took away 20 percent of the vote.
Besides the number of popular votes, it will also affect several more members of parliament.
Especially those swing state legislators who should be in power, these are the most important.
On the one hand, we need to vigorously promote the information superhighway plan to ensure that it can solve domestic economic problems.
On the other hand, it involves spending a lot of money to win over all the members of parliament. Only in this way can the deadlock be broken and a successful re-election be achieved.
Regarding this matter, Wang Duoyu could only do his best and leave the rest to fate.
He can't have too much influence; if it succeeds, everyone will be happy; if it doesn't, he won't be too disappointed.
The Mach 5 fighter jet is currently undergoing test flights, and various other projects are also proceeding in an orderly manner.
We may encounter many troubles ahead, both external and internal.
In short, Wang Duoyu will do his best to complete it.
"What about artificial intelligence?" Thinking of the AI program in the basement, Wang Duoyu pondered for a moment, then turned around and went downstairs.
Artificial intelligence is a very important part of his plan, so he attaches great importance to it.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have launched internet companies like Facebook and Amazon so early.
After all, developing artificial intelligence requires more than just programs; it also requires a large amount of training data.
Time flies like an arrow.
Before they knew it, it was mid-to-late October. After school that day, Wang Yifei went home crying.
When she saw her father, she rushed into his arms and burst into tears.
"Xixi, don't cry, don't cry. What happened?"
Feeling heartbroken, Wang Duoyu hugged the little one, comforting him while asking questions, and at the same time looking at Liu Xiaoli.
The latter had just gotten off the bus, and she also looked helpless.
This afternoon, she went to pick up her little one from kindergarten, but the little one kept crying and she couldn't soothe him the whole way home.
I really don't know why she felt so wronged and cried so hard.
Since Liu Xiaoli didn't know either, Wang Duoyu could only try to coax the little guy, hoping he would tell her.
Wang Yifei, sobbing, looked incredibly aggrieved.
"Sisi, did someone bully you? Or did something happen? Don't keep crying, it breaks Daddy's heart."
Wang Duoyu's words only made things worse; they caused her previously quiet sobs to become louder again.
The little one was really upset; I've never seen her cry like this before.
This left Wang Duoyu and Liu Xiaoli, who was standing next to him, looking helpless.
"Xixi, don't cry. Your older brothers will be back soon. If they see you looking like a little kitten, your second brother will definitely laugh at you."
Left with no other option, Wang Duoyu had to resort to this tactic.
And sure enough, this trick worked very quickly.
"Dad, you lied to me. My older brother didn't come back, boohoo." Wang Qianqian looked up, her eyes blurry with tears, and glanced towards the door.
After realizing she hadn't seen her older brothers, she started crying again.
"Sisi, tell Daddy, why are you crying?"
"Because, because I wet the bed at noon today, boohoo."
what?
She's four years old and still wets the bed?
But it's normal for kids to wet the bed occasionally, it's not a big deal.
Wang Duoyu and Liu Xiaoli exchanged a glance, their expressions becoming even more helpless.
"It's okay, it's nothing serious. It's just one night of bedwetting. Did you wet the bed because of what you ate for lunch?"
The kindergarten is located on the campus of Harbin Institute of Technology, but Harbin Institute of Technology is already very large.
This kindergarten was originally intended for the school's own faculty and staff.
Almost all faculty and staff at Harbin Institute of Technology are very busy, which can be a huge burden for families with children.
Although most faculty and staff members only have one child, unlike Wang Duoyu who has four.
Furthermore, if many faculty and staff live on campus, it is not easy to hire nannies or similar caregivers from outside.
Therefore, most children are sent to kindergarten, and kindergartens usually provide lunch at noon.
So Wang Yifei also ate her lunch at the kindergarten.
Anyway, the little one is very happy. She is happy to stay in kindergarten and eat lunch and take a nap with the other children.
This time, however, the little guy couldn't resist his cravings at lunch and ate a few extra pieces of watermelon.
She couldn't hold it in during her afternoon nap, which led to her wetting the bed.
"Dad, are you really okay?"
Wang Yifei stared wide-eyed at her father and asked him seriously.
These days, little ones know what it means to be embarrassed and what it means to be shy.
She was so scared that she cried.
"Of course it's okay. Don't think that just because you're only four years old and occasionally can't hold it in, it's okay. Even some older kids wet the bed sometimes."
"But, Sisi, you can't be so greedy in the future, especially with watermelon. Although it's delicious, we need to control ourselves and not eat too much at once, otherwise you'll easily wet the bed."
Actually, it's already October, and watermelons are long past their season.
But perhaps because Wang Yifei was under too much control during the previous watermelon season, it might have been because of this.
Since the kindergarten finally had watermelon to eat, the little guy naturally wanted to eat several slices.
She's only four years old. Well, let alone a four-year-old child, even many people who are already in their fifties or sixties still crave that kind of thing, right?
Take Liu Xiaoli for example, she still craves ice cream to this day.
Wang Duoyu himself still enjoys eating longan, lychee, and other fruits.
Even adults can't control themselves, let alone children.
However, for the sake of health, no matter how delicious something is, it should be consumed in moderation.
If consumed in excess, it can easily cause health problems.
For example, Wang Duoyu clearly understands one thing: Red Bull energy drink!
In his past life, he often stayed up all night in the lab, working on papers and other projects. Whenever he couldn't stay up any longer, he would have a bottle of Red Bull.
Otherwise, I'll just have a cup of milk tea to keep me going.
In other words, he also frequently drank boiled water. Otherwise, given his condition at the time, his medical examination report would not have only shown an increase in total bilirubin; other data such as fasting blood glucose, creatinine, and urine protein would likely have also been problematic.
After all, there's no doubt that drinks like Red Bull and milk tea taste good, but if consumed in excess, they can really be deadly.
Wang Duoyu still remembers a colleague from his past life who often stayed up all night with him on duty.
This guy was even more addicted to beverages than Wang Duoyu, treating them like water. In less than two years, he was forced to be hospitalized and disappeared from Wang Duoyu's sight.
"Yes, Dad, I understand."
The little one nodded obediently; she had listened attentively.
But Wang Duoyu estimated that this would only happen once, and she would definitely forget about it after a while.
It's okay, Liu Xiaoli has already filmed it. If the little one is greedy later, we can just find this video and let him watch it again.
After calming the little one down, Wang Duoyu took the camera from Liu Xiaoli and then turned to enter the study villa next door.
He needs to transcode and store the video data from the camera on his computer.
The materials should be categorized, set with keywords, and arranged chronologically. They also need to be properly stored so that the desired information can be quickly found in the future.
For example, this video contains several keywords such as bedwetting, gluttony, and watermelon.
After he finished dealing with it, Wang Duoyu suddenly stared blankly at the camera in his hand.
"Perhaps it's time to introduce digital cameras!"
The world's first digital camera appeared in 1975.
However, the pixel count at that time was only 100*100, which is 0.01 million pixels.
Moreover, the storage medium is a cassette tape, weighing 3.6 kilograms, and the shooting time is 23 seconds per frame.
A few years ago, Kodak launched its first commercial digital camera, the DCS-100, marking the official entry of the technology into the market.
However, this thing is not as good as a film camera, not only because of the lack of pixels, but also because it is too expensive.
Wang Duoyu's current interest in digital cameras is not primarily about making money, but rather about contributing to the advancement of internet technology.
In the late 1980s, although he no longer managed Huaxin Company much, the company's subsequent mobile phone research and development direction was clearly towards integrating functions such as cameras, flashlights, and radios.
There's no rush in the smartphone era; after all, it will take time for truly commercially viable smartphones to emerge.
Mobile phone cameras require camera manufacturers to design more streamlined cameras, and the pixel count also needs to be good enough.
Thinking of this, Wang Duoyu took out his phone and called Chen Baoxi, the person in charge of Huaxin Company.
"Professor Wang, long time no see."
Chen Baoxi answered the phone immediately, and a hearty and excited laugh came from the other end.
He never expected that Wang Duoyu would call him.
It seems like it was several years ago that Wang Duoyu last called him on his own initiative.
Over the past four or five years, Wang Duoyu has basically stopped managing the companies under Harbin Institute of Technology, and he doesn't even participate much in the annual year-end summary meetings.
There was nothing he could do; after all, Wang Duoyu already owned the massive Want Want Group.
Enterprises under Harbin Institute of Technology have greater autonomy, and Chen Baoxi and his ilk also want more power, so they naturally don't want Wang Duoyu to interfere.
The Want Want Group is different; Wang Duoyu makes all the decisions, and there are almost no constraints on him.
"Mr. Chen, it's been a long time. I'd like to ask you something. What stage has Huaxin Company's mobile phone camera technology reached?"
"Professor Wang, our mobile phone cameras now have 100,000 pixels."
Wang Duoyu was speechless when he heard this.
What the hell?
The Kodak DCS-100 digital SLR camera already has 130 million pixels.
Although Kodak developed digital cameras more than a decade ago, Huaxin Company also began developing mobile phone cameras in the mid-1980s.
It's been five or six years since we developed various mobile phone camera storage chips and other technologies, right?
And yet it's only 100,000 pixels?
To be honest, Wang Duoyu was very disappointed.
"Mr. Chen, you're not worried that I'll leak the secret, so you've kept it a secret, are you?" Wang Duoyu said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Chen Baoxi's heart skipped a beat, and he chuckled awkwardly:
"How could that be? Professor Wang, Huaxin Company was established with your support, and you are still a member of Harbin Institute of Technology. How could I possibly keep this a secret from you?"
Wang Duoyu was speechless.
"Okay, I understand. Let's do it this way."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Duoyu thought for a moment and then called Liu Deben.
The latter answered the phone quickly as well, and Wang Duoyu got straight to the point:
"Old Liu, I just called Chen Baoxi from Huaxin Company. He told me that Huaxin's mobile phone cameras now only have 100,000 pixels. Is that true?"
Liu Deben was a little confused and said he would look into it.
"Since you don't know, Lao Liu, you can go and find out first. If Huaxin Company's mobile phone camera pixels are really only 100,000 pixels, then their management's bonuses for this year should all be canceled."
After a pause, Wang Duoyu continued:
"The mobile phone industry is the future of the internet market and a very important terminal. If Huaxin Company cannot shoulder this responsibility, then I will establish another mobile phone company to compete with Huaxin Company."
"They've been the boss for so many years, I bet they've become arrogant and complacent, haven't they? They should have forgotten what I said back then, Lao Liu, do you remember?"
Liu Deben, on the other end of the phone, had a drastic change in expression.
If Wang Duoyu really does establish another mobile phone company, it will be a devastating blow to Huaxin Company.
Meanwhile, Wang Duoyu once talked about the market prospects of mobile phone cameras, but Chen Baoxi and the others didn't seem to take it to heart.
A camera with 100,000 pixels will produce very, very blurry photos.
Even at the mobile phone level, such a pixel count is already very good.
After all, it's 1992 now, not 2002.
However, Huaxin Company has indeed become somewhat lazy and arrogant in recent years.
Even so, Wang Duoyu shouldn't have started another mobile phone company.
"Duoyu, of course I remember you saying that after entering the 1990s, Huaxin's mobile phone camera technology was on par with that of professional camera companies."
Liu De should have said:
"While their technology is indeed not as advanced as traditional camera companies like Kodak, Duoyu, shouldn't you think twice before starting another mobile phone company?"
Wang Duoyu raised his eyebrows:
"Old Liu, it's not that I didn't give them a chance, but they ignored my words and hindered my technical layout. Heh, then they should bear the consequences."
"That's it, Lao Liu. I'm not afraid of losing money now, but I'm afraid that people like Chen Baoxi will lose their ambition and just rest on their past laurels!"
After hanging up the phone, Liu Deben's face turned pale and then red before he got up and left.
He's going to find Chen Baoxi and the others; it's time to clean up the atmosphere.
Wang Duoyu now holds a large amount of money, which is not well known to others, but Liu Deben has heard of him to some extent.
For example, the crude oil stored in Beijing, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Shanghai, Harbin, and other places is worth tens of billions of RMB.
Furthermore, Liu Deben had heard that Wang Duoyu would buy tens of millions of US dollars worth of gold every year and store it directly at home.
Of course, Liu Deben had only heard about it; he didn't know if it was true or not.
Only a limited number of people in the Wang family knew about the gold storage; others were unaware of it.
However, Liu Deben's rank was already very high, and the people he came into contact with were also of high rank, so he had heard about some of them.
The following afternoon, in the Party Secretary's meeting room of the Harbin Institute of Technology's administration building.
Many people came today. Basically, all the heads of companies under Harbin Institute of Technology who are in China attended this meeting.
Liu Deben sat in the main seat, with Lü Gongliang sitting beside him. Han Jue was the first to speak.
"Now that everyone has arrived, let's officially begin our meeting."
"Today's meeting is chaired by Secretary Liu, and the main discussion will focus on the status, technological reserves, and ideological development of various enterprises over the past six months."
As soon as Han Jue opened his mouth, Chen Baoxi knew that today's meeting was aimed at him.
However, until now, Chen Baoxi has not realized just how serious the situation is.
Even Yang Deyong, Zhang Jichuan, Wu Zhiming, Song Xinwen, Niu Ruishan, Yin Wenjie, Huang Mingtai, Shu Biaoyin and others did not expect that this matter would be so serious.
They are all heads of their respective companies, and the companies they lead are among the top in their industries.
For example, Song Xinwen is in charge of supercomputers. Currently, Harbin Institute of Technology has two series of supercomputers: the Nebula Supercomputer and the Dawning Supercomputer.
The Nebula supercomputer is almost out of production, but the Dawning supercomputer is still in its boom period.
In addition, the Galaxy Supercomputing Project is also planned to be launched in the middle of this year, and is expected to be successfully developed and completed within the next two to three years.
Regardless of the series of supercomputers, Harbin Institute of Technology's supercomputers are ranked number one in the global market.
Each year, we can reliably export more than one hundred supercomputer products.
Yin Wenjie, Zhang Jichuan, Wu Zhiming and others were all giving serious reports, but as time went on, Chen Baoxi gradually became indifferent.
As expected, it's the same old method; this kind of meeting is a complete waste of time.
Liu Deben, perhaps noticing the change in Chen Baoxi's expression, suddenly interrupted:
"Let me say a few words!"
Yang Deyong immediately shut his mouth, his heart leaping into his throat as he nervously stared at Liu Deben.
"Mr. Chen, I don't know if you remember what Professor Wang said about mobile phone cameras a few years ago?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Baoxi said:
"Secretary Liu, which Professor Wang are you referring to?"
"Professor Wang Duoyu of the School of Mathematics, Mr. Chen, you haven't forgotten, have you?"
"Secretary, how could I forget? But that was several years ago. Our Huaxin Company has indeed worked very hard on research and development of equipment. Starting from scratch, we can now make mobile phone cameras. That's a huge step forward."
His implication was that they had already tried their best, and Wang Duoyu was just nitpicking and finding fault with everything.
However, upon hearing this, Liu Deben was utterly disappointed and said expressionlessly:
"Professor Wang called me yesterday and said that he will be setting up a mobile phone company to compete with our Huaxin Company. You'd better be able to hold onto the number one position in the mobile phone industry."
hiss!
The meeting room fell silent instantly upon hearing this.
Chen Baoxi was completely dumbfounded, and Wu Zhiming, Yin Wenjie, Yang Deyong and the others were all speechless.
Almost instantly, they recalled the fear of being dominated by Wang Duoyu in the past.
On August 3, 1979, with the support of Li Rui, the former Party Secretary of Harbin Institute of Technology, and Liu Deben, the former President, the Diaopai electric bicycle project led by Wang Duoyu was established in the teaching building of the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
Since then, Harbin Institute of Technology has achieved a series of brilliant successes, and most of its enterprises have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.
It's important to know that the Mach 5 fighter jet project was established in May 1982, and at that time, the project required a huge investment.
At that time, Wang Duoyu was already at the height of his fame.
It wasn't until 1988, when Wang Duoyu shifted his focus entirely to the Want Want Group, that the fear of being controlled by everyone gradually dissipated.
Now, Wang Duoyu doesn't know why he suddenly started paying attention to the development of enterprises at Harbin Institute of Technology, and even threatened Chen Baoxi at the slightest disagreement.
Yang Deyong, Yin Wenjie, Wu Zhiming, and others did not believe that Wang Duoyu was just bored and that's why he suddenly did this.
Considering the keywords Liu Deben just mentioned, such as mobile phone cameras, and the theme of today's conference, which is about technological accumulation, etc.
Everyone quickly realized that Huaxin Company's technological accumulation was far below Wang Duoyu's expectations.
That's why he suddenly did this.
"Secretary, did Professor Wang really say that?"
Chen Baoxi was dumbfounded and hurriedly asked.
He's getting anxious! (End of Chapter)
