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

January 1993, Los Angeles, California, inside an office building in Hollywood.

Inside Universal Pictures, Jiro Matsuda, a senior executive dispatched by Panasonic, sat at his desk with a livid face.

“Mr. Daryl, what you’re doing is utterly shameless.”

Universal Pictures recently took a liking to a project.

The project is "True Lies," directed by James Cameron.

Anyone who's been in Hollywood knows that James Cameron's films are relatively profitable.

Back in 1984, Cameron wrote and directed the Terminator movie.

The total investment was only $650 million, but the box office in the United States reached $3600 million.

The Terminator 2 movie he directed two years ago grossed a whopping $200 million at the box office in the United States.

Make a fortune!

"True Lies" tells the story of an undercover agent who suspects his wife of having an affair and secretly investigates to find out the truth.

However, he inadvertently discovered a major conspiracy by a group of terrorists, and at the same time, the agent's beloved daughter was kidnapped, so the agent rushed to rescue her.

This is the outline of the story.

A typical example of a Hollywood industrialized film featuring individual heroism, commonly known as a popcorn movie.

Making money is highly likely, especially since this movie will use a lot of special effects.

Although the investment won't be small, it's profitable.

Universal Pictures wants to get involved and get a piece of the pie.

Daryl informed them that they had already signed with someone else.

That's why Jiro Matsuda was so angry.

"This is Hollywood, normal business practice, not something we do in a despicable way."

Daryl smiled slightly, turned and left.

In the United States, profit comes first; everything else is nonsense.

Furthermore, Universal Pictures has been on a downward spiral ever since it was acquired by Panasonic.

Inside the meeting room, Daryl had already left. After a long silence, Matsuda Jiro finally spoke:

"Everyone, you'd better think of a solution quickly, otherwise we'll still suffer losses this year, and the parent company will definitely punish you all."

The company suffered losses the year before last and the year before last. If it doesn't make a profit this year, then Universal Pictures will definitely be abandoned by its parent company.

However, the executives in the conference room remained silent.

They all knew what was going on, because most of Universal Pictures' funds had actually been embezzled by them.

Back then, Wall Street wanted to make money in Hollywood.

They were all scammed so badly that their parents wouldn't recognize them.

Moreover, it's just a Japanese company?
There are outrageous bills at the military-industrial complex, such as military uniforms costing several thousand yuan a set and military shoes costing one or two thousand yuan a pair.

In Hollywood, it's even simpler.

The film project I invested in kept receiving additional investment again and again.

For example, a single special effects shot can generate millions of US dollars in revenue. But who knows exactly how that money was spent?
If you're not an expert, you won't understand it at all, and no one will know once you've been scammed.

In short, there are just too many ways to make money in Hollywood.

Under such circumstances, it would be strange if Universal Pictures could continue operating.

The headquarters office building of Panasonic Corporation in Tokyo, Japan.

"Gentlemen, what are your thoughts on Universal Pictures' financial statements?"

The chairman spoke, his tone indifferent, his expression unreadable.

But everyone knows this is just the calm before the storm.

Universal Pictures has been losing money year after year. What use is such a company if it has been acquired?

"President Matsuda, you seem to have forgotten your mission while you're in the US, haven't you? This time last year, you made a solemn pledge..."

One of the vice presidents, sitting in the third position, immediately launched an attack on Jiro Matsuda.

The latter looked bitter, his heart filled with grief and indignation, but he dared not refute.

There's nothing we can do; it's his problem. He didn't manage Universal Pictures well.

So before other executives could launch further attacks, he took the initiative to resign.

Swish!
Everyone was startled at first, but then realized it was normal.

At this point, Jiro Matsuda had no other choice but to do this.

But someone from Universal Pictures has to take responsibility, right?

Now everyone knows that Universal Pictures is a huge pitfall, so naturally no one wants to take on this task.

What should I do?
Cold stir-fried eggs!
"How about we sell it?"

When someone made this suggestion, it was immediately met with opposition.

"Baka! How could we sell it? We went through so much trouble to buy it!"

One of the executives immediately flew into a rage and shouted.

He was still immersed in the glory of the past.

"Our Japanese economy will definitely recover again. Selling Universal Pictures at this time would undoubtedly make us a laughing stock."

Panasonic acquired Universal Pictures just a few years ago?
They're actually selling it?
The president was unwilling to give up, so he remained silent.

But not selling doesn't seem like an option either.

"Let's recommend someone to be sent to Universal Pictures. No matter what, Universal Pictures is our life's work; we shouldn't just give up like this."

Giving up is not an option now!
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

That makes sense, though. They spent billions of dollars, so it's understandable that they'd be reluctant to sell it off like that.

So the matter was left unresolved.

But as everyone knows, if there's no improvement in the first half of the year, then they'll definitely consider selling the company in the second half.

The Japanese really can't handle Hollywood movie studios.

As for Sony, their acquisition of Columbia Pictures probably won't last much longer either.

Meanwhile, Dylan Dario personally accompanied the team to the Canon headquarters office building to negotiate with the company's president.

Canon is a very good camera company, and it would be a great thing if the acquisition were successful.

However, the president of Canon was very arrogant and asked for an exorbitant price.

"If you pay $3.5 billion, our shareholders' meeting will certainly be very happy to sell."

At the beginning of this century, the Japanese camera market was monopolized by Germany, and a Leica camera cost as much as half the price of a house.

At that time, a man named Goro Yoshida was on a business trip in Shanghai.

He was enraged by a mockery from an American businessman: Japan, which can build warships, can't even manufacture small machines like cameras and has to import them?
Goro Yoshida then established the predecessor of Canon Corporation: Seiki Optical Research Institute.

And they started out by copying other brands.

Unfortunately, Canon faced financial difficulties during World War II.

However, after World War II, Takeshi Mitarai officially took over Canon, and the company was completely revitalized.

In the 1950s, the Korean War broke out, and Mitarai Takeshi went to Jardine Matheson in Hong Kong and obtained a huge loan of US$500,000.

Build a modern factory, introduce the latest optical machinery, and reshape the camera production line.

In the 1960s, Canon developed the world's first electronic camera, which caused a sensation.

In the 1970s, Canon launched the world's first fully electronic camera with a built-in CPU, the Canon AE-1, which used microcomputer technology to electronically control exposure, sparking a consumer boom in automatic exposure SLR cameras.

And then they launched a series of manual focus SLR cameras. It was only then that Leica realized that Canon had already taken the lead.

By the 1990s, Canon had become a world leader in the camera industry, especially in innovation.

But a small camera company dared to ask for 3.5 billion US dollars.

That's absolutely idiotic!
Of course, in reality, the president of Canon received a message from the board of directors that they were determined not to sell!
If Dylan Dario really agrees to the $3.5 billion acquisition price, Canon's board of directors would definitely be willing to sell.

Japan's economy is currently on a downward trend.

If it could be converted into US dollars, then the money could be invested abroad directly.

"Mr. Hijikata, you have absolutely no sincerity in negotiating. The actual value of your Canon company is only one to one billion US dollars, yet you're asking for three billion US dollars. Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?"

Upon hearing Dylan Dario's words, Toshio Hijikata smiled and said:
"We were never willing to sell in the first place, so please leave."

"Hehe, everything has its own value and price. Perhaps you are unwilling to sell now, but what about the future?"

Dylan Dario also chuckled and retorted.

Although he was very anxious, he had to appear very patient.

The big boss, Wang Duoyu, entrusted him with the task of acquiring Canon, which showed his trust in him.

Therefore, he must achieve something significant.

"We are willing to acquire Canon in its entirety for US$1.5 billion."

Faced with this price, Toshio Hijikata flatly refused, and the negotiations between the two parties ended in discord.

Before the third day was even over, Toshio Hijikata suddenly contacted Dylan Dario, angrily asking:

"Mr. Dylan, aren't your methods utterly despicable and shameless?"

"Mr. Hijikata, is there some misunderstanding? How are we despicable and shameless? If you don't explain yourself clearly, I will definitely sue you for defamation in your Japanese courts."

"Baka!" Hijikata Toshio roared in anger.
"There's absolutely no misunderstanding. Do you dare say that Huachen Group isn't one of yours?"

It turns out that in the past few days, Huachen Group proactively contacted several top-ranked international headhunting firms, entrusting them to help poach employees from Canon.

And they work directly with the goal of eradicating the roots.

In less than five days, more than 40 percent of the researchers in Canon's research and development department applied to resign.

This was solely because the headhunting firm offered an exorbitant salary and a relatively long employment contract.

The researchers were also very tempted by such an offer.

Everyone's not stupid; they understand that as employees, they're already doing quite well to receive such generous benefits.

As for the acquisition of Canon?
It's not something that absolutely has to be done.

What Huachen Mobile needs to develop is mobile phone cameras; that's the future.

Digital SLR cameras may experience a brief period of glory in the next decade or so.

However, once the era of smartphones arrives, digital SLRs will basically become obsolete.

In the original timeline's history, Canon's market value reached 30 billion US dollars at its peak, with an astonishing annual revenue.

However, with the advent of smartphones, Canon's digital SLR sales plummeted, causing its market value to decline as a result.

Its glory lasted only a short ten or twenty years before being replaced by smartphones.

It must be said that technology changes lives and also changes the fate of many people.

"no!"

Dylan Dario vetoed the idea.

That can't be admitted, since he's not in a hurry anyway, and we absolutely can't show any urgency.

Otherwise, he would not only have to pay a high price to acquire it, but he might not even have the possibility of acquiring Canon at all.

Hijikata Toshio angrily hung up the phone, feeling extremely angry.

But there are more important things to do right now, otherwise I would definitely have cursed the other party to their face.

Harbin, the Ice City, and Harbin Institute of Technology.

Wang Duoyu watched Kang Yumin and the others leave, then turned back to his seat and began to attend to his own business.

Reform of state-owned enterprises is imperative.

This is a sign of progress, and growing pains are something we must go through.

After all, the burden of some state-owned enterprises is too heavy for the country to bear.

Private enterprises are dynamic, and there is also competition from foreign-invested enterprises.

Only by maintaining a certain level of competition can the market be vibrant.

State-owned enterprise reform can proceed more smoothly in a relatively fair, just, and transparent market environment.

Of course, this matter has little to do with Wang Duoyu.

If Kang Yumin and his group hadn't come to him seeking help, frankly, he wouldn't have paid them any attention, let alone offered any advice.

It's not that I'm afraid of offending people.

However, this matter is quite tricky.

"I'm going to do some work this year!"

Wang Duoyu shook his head, banishing the matter of state-owned enterprises from his mind.

It's not even Chinese New Year yet, but he already has to start planning his work tasks for the year.

In 1992, he did not conduct any mathematical theory research.

So in 1993, he should take the initiative to promote this work.

This was his disguise tool, something he had to do.

Next year, 1994, will be the last major conference where Wang Duoyu can still win awards.

By 1998, he was already 42 years old, so naturally he could no longer win awards.

Of course, Wang Duoyu has no expectation of winning the Fields Medal again.

Moreover, the 1994 International Congress of Mathematicians would certainly be held abroad, so he definitely couldn't go.

So whether he wins an award or not doesn't really matter to him.

"So, which direction should I go next?"

Inside the study, Wang Duoyu pondered deeply.

The Langlands program is a very good direction, as are Galois representation theory, cohomology theory, Riemann surfaces and the dynamics of their modulus spaces, etc.

These are all very good directions.

In addition, Wang Duoyu hopes to advance the mathematical theory related to quantum entanglement.

"Take it slow; this year's work will focus on these few areas."

Before long, Wang Duoyu had already marked the mathematical theories he would be advancing this year on the draft paper.

Over the next few days, he began working on this.

Following the principle of starting with the easy and progressing to the difficult, he will complete them one by one.

Time flies, and it's already mid-January.

"Dad, are we spending Chinese New Year here this year? Aren't we going back to our hometown?"

With only a week left until the Spring Festival, and no sign of their family returning to their hometown, Wang Yifei became anxious.

She also wants to go back and see her friends.

Even though she was in Harbin, she didn't feel bored. For example, yesterday they went to a horse farm in the suburbs.

This horse farm has many Akhal-Teke horses that were previously imported from abroad, making it the only purebred Akhal-Teke horse breeding base in China.

It is also the only place in the world, besides Turkmenistan, that has a base for purebred Akhal-Teke horses.

Besides visiting the horse farm, Wang Yifei and her friends also watched a football match, attended a concert, and went shopping for New Year's goods.

In short, they never get bored.

"I'll be back the day after tomorrow, don't rush."

Wang Duoyu said with a smile, then looked at the television.

The CCTV Evening News program is reporting on the completion of the Jiujiang Yangtze River Bridge in southern China.

"The Jiujiang Yangtze River Bridge is a double-deck, double-track railway and highway bridge. Its railway bridge is 7675 meters long, 900 meters longer than the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, and its pier span is 216 meters, ranking third among similar bridges in the world."

This is indeed great news; China's reputation as an infrastructure powerhouse is about to rise.

"If Kang Yu-min and his colleagues see this news and connect it to other things, then they should take the initiative to propose it."

He still kept the reform of state-owned enterprises in mind.

It's said to be too painful.

There is a saying that goes, "If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world."

With Wang Duoyu's current abilities, he can't be considered a benefactor of the world, but he can still offer some advice.

The next day, the 18th, Wang Duoyu and his family set off back to Dahonggou Village.

This time when I went back to my hometown, I also took a plane, because it's the fastest mode of transportation.

The weather was clear and cloudless.

The winter sun was shining brightly, and Wang Duoyu and his family were quite happy.

When I got home, it was only 1:15 pm.

Dahonggou Village is quite lively now, with many young people returning, mostly relatives of Old Wang.

The young people in the Wang family are relatively wealthy, which proves the saying: "Returning home in glory is like wearing fine clothes at night."

So they all returned home early.

However, Wang Duoshi and the others did not return. They had come back once during the New Year's Day holiday, but they would not come back for the Spring Festival.

Staying in New Zealand is too far away; the round trip is too much of a hassle.

With the sound of firecrackers a year old, the spring breeze sent warmth to Tusu.

After Wang Yifei and her friends returned to their hometown, they picked up the firecrackers they had brought back from Harbin and ran out to play with their friends.

Exploding cow dung and dung pits are must-do activities around the Spring Festival every year.

The boys, mostly teenagers, ran around and played in the village, with firecrackers going off from time to time.

A faint smell of gunpowder permeated the air.

"Is it alright if you come to put up the couplets today?"

On the morning of Lunar New Year's Eve, Liu Xiaoli said this to Wang Junhong and the other children.

“Okay!” They happily accepted the task.

It's just putting up couplets on the door; it's not a heavy task.

In fact, if possible, they could even go and worship their ancestors themselves.

Ancestor worship during the Spring Festival is a traditional custom. It must be performed on both New Year's Eve and New Year's Day because these two days are very important.

The 30th is the last day of the year, and the first day of the new year is the first day of the new year, both of which are of great significance.

Wang Duoyu also took a day off and came out of his study to help.

"As the sun shines brightly on every door and window, new peachwood charms replace the old ones."

"Dad, what is a new peach?"

Standing to the side, Wang Junkang asked curiously, and his older brother immediately replied:

"Third brother, I told you to read more books, but you didn't believe me. Otherwise, you wouldn't be asking this question now. Second brother, you explain it to me."

The four siblings were right in front of them, but only the third child and Xixi didn't understand. The second child, Wang Jun'an, explained:

"First of all, the line 'The sun shines brightly on every door and window, as people replace the old peachwood charms with new ones,' that Dad mentioned comes from Wang Anshi's poem 'New Year's Day' from the Song Dynasty. This poem describes the custom of purifying oneself and welcoming the new year."

"New peach" refers to door charms made of peach wood boards that are hung during the New Year. In the Song Dynasty, these were core folk customs items for the Spring Festival.

Before the Song Dynasty, people used peach wood products for witchcraft to ward off disasters. After the Song Dynasty, they used peach wood charms to write auspicious characters, which began to evolve into Spring Festival couplets.

"After the Ming Dynasty, paper became widely available and gradually evolved into the Spring Festival couplets and door couplets we know today."

These words clearly demonstrate that Wang Jun'an is indeed a very diligent student.

He was born in 1984 and is only nine years old this year, not even nine years old yet.

But he's also very smart, able to remember so much.

It is said that if you can read three hundred Tang poems by heart, you can recite them even if you can't compose them.

Wang Jun'an not only had a thorough knowledge of Tang and Song poetry, but also memorized a great deal of related knowledge.

"Second brother, do you know why paper became widespread in the Ming Dynasty? Why not in the Song Dynasty?"

The eldest brother, Wang Junhong, is indulging his inner teacher again and has started quizzing his younger brother.

Wang Duoyu smiled silently, while Liu Xiaoli looked somewhat worried but also remained silent.

At Wang Duoyu's home, the mini-class is a daily routine.

This is a program specially created by Wang Duoyu to improve the children's language expression skills.

"Brother, I remember this point: capitalism was just beginning to emerge in the Ming Dynasty."

The brothers' question-and-answer exchange, their friendly and respectful relationship, pleased both Wang Duoyu and Liu Xiaoli.

This is their child; a family should act like this.

"Sisi, you'll be officially a tutor next September. Are you scared?"

After the two brothers finished talking, Wang Duoyu teased the little guy.

"I'm not afraid!" Wang Yifei said crisply, tilting her snow-white neck back.

"Didn't I participate in the New Year's Day performance? I wasn't afraid of so many people, so I'm even less afraid of you all."

"Really? Then why don't you give the lecture tonight?"

what?
The little guy immediately chickened out.

She was in such a rush and didn't prepare anything, so she must lack confidence.

"Go Sisi! Your big brother believes in you!"

Her three older brothers chimed in, which immediately displeased Wang Yifei.
"You want to give lectures too? Humph!"

At this moment, Zheng Baoyin and Wang Meifeng arrived.

They're all relatives, and their arrival makes the house even more lively.

On Lunar New Year's Eve, every household is looking forward to the holiday. If there's nothing else to do, people usually go to other people's houses to chat.

At this point in time, after the ancestral worship ceremony and the meal, there was indeed nothing else to do.

As for the New Year's Eve dinner, everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared, so there's plenty of time to chat.

Before we knew it, it was evening, and the New Year's Eve dinner was an hour and a half earlier than usual.

Because of the holiday, there was a lot of food at home, and the little guy couldn't stop eating, so he only ate two meals today.

However, I ate less for both meals today than I usually do.

The family prepared a very sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, with ten large dishes.

The New Year's Eve dinner at Wang Duoyu's family, or rather, the Wang family as a whole, is completely different from the New Year's Eve dinners of other families in Northeast China.

Other families' New Year's Eve dinner consists of only a few dishes, with dumplings being the main attraction.

But at Wang Duoyu's house, the perfect dish is the main attraction, while no one eats the dumplings.

Liu Xiaoli is considered half a southerner, since she moved to Jiangcheng when she was very young.

As for Wang Duoyu himself, he was also a southerner in his previous life.

Therefore, many of the customs and traditions in Wang Duoyu's family are quite different from those in Northeast China.

On the other hand, it's also because Wang Duoyu's family is rich and they don't lack many things.

For example, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is a dish that most families don't actually have, but it's quite common in Wang Duoyu's family.

"Happy New Year to Mom and Dad! Cheers!"

Bang!
With the crisp clinking of glasses, the New Year's Eve dinner officially began.

The little ones barely ate any rice or vegetables, finishing their meal in no time.

They still need to save room for other snacks.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, the mini-lesson began.

The Spring Festival Gala isn't coming that soon yet. After all, they usually eat dinner at seven o'clock. Today they ate an hour and a half earlier, so they only finished dinner at six o'clock.

The Spring Festival Gala doesn't start until 8 PM, so there's still plenty of time. Let's start with a mini-lesson.

"You can talk freely in today's mini-lesson. Your mother and I will be the students and will definitely listen attentively."

"You four, each of you has twenty-five minutes. Who wants to go first?"

The eldest brother was a role model for the four siblings, so he was the first to arrive.

In small classes, what is taught is not important; what matters most is the students' ability to express themselves.

As a result, Liu Xiaoli and the others were completely dumbfounded when Wang Junhong opened his mouth.

Because Wang Junhong was teaching his specialty, mathematics, and the key subject was calculus.

The only person present who could understand it was Wang Duoyu; even the second brother, Wang Jun'an, might not be able to understand it.

Relatives have come to visit from the doorway.

Seeing that Wang Duoyu's family had actually started a small class, I was immediately surprised and sat down to listen attentively without saying a word.

As time passed, in less than five minutes, about ten people were sitting in the house.

Even Zheng Baodong came.

Zheng Baodong is the youngest son of Wang Duoyu's fourth sister, and he is 28 years old this year.

Twelve years ago, he was specially admitted to the Harbin Institute of Technology's genius class. After graduation, he stayed at the school to teach and is currently an associate professor in the School of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology.

Therefore, his arrival means that there is a second student who can understand Wang Junhong's calculus course.

Apart from that, everyone else was completely bewildered.

If it weren't for the Spring Festival today, and Wang Duoyu hadn't let the children freely choose their topics to talk about, then Wang Junhong wouldn't have talked about this either.

The agonizing twenty-five minutes have finally passed.

During the five-minute break, Old Wang's relatives were all talking amongst themselves.

"Uncle Jiu, is it possible for Junhong to win the Fields Medal like you?"

Wang Jianchao also arrived, and his words immediately made Zheng Baodong frown.

The latter is still only an associate professor, but his progress has been quite rapid.

However, his talent is undeniable; to become an associate professor at the School of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology at the age of twenty-eight is already quite remarkable.

But he is far from winning the Fields Medal.

He frequently interacted with Wang Junhong and exchanged ideas with him from time to time, so he was naturally aware of Wang Junhong's mathematical abilities.

Wang Junhong's age is a disadvantage; he needs to mature further. As for whether he can win the Fields Medal, no one can say for sure.

"Jianchao, don't be too ambitious. Whether you can win the Fields Medal or not, ask Baodong first. He'll definitely know better."

Upon hearing Wang Duoyu's words, everyone's gaze immediately turned to Zheng Baodong.

The latter shook his head and smiled modestly:

"Uncle, please don't flatter me. I'm only half-baked myself. The Fields Medal is a long way off for me. I'd be lucky to even become a full professor in my lifetime."

His statement was, of course, very modest.

But Wang Jianchao and the others couldn't understand it.

So Wang Duoyu quickly skipped the topic and didn't continue the conversation. At this moment, the second brother, Wang Jun'an, was also ready.

Twenty or thirty people sat around the sofa, some of them bringing small stools, staring intently at Wang Jun'an in front of the movable blackboard.

However, the little guy wasn't afraid at all. He had seen much bigger scenes than what was in front of him, so naturally he wasn't afraid.
At Harbin Institute of Technology's home in the Ice City, guests like Liu Deben would visit every few days.

Many professors chose to hold classes at their homes after dinner, and over time, word spread that they were giving small lectures at home.

On several occasions, more than thirty people came to our house, filling the living room to the brim.

The three Wang brothers, who had already been trained, were not afraid at all.

Besides, his parents were watching from below the stage with encouraging eyes, which made him even less afraid.

"Today I'm going to talk about a brief history of the economy in the Ming Dynasty."

Wang Jun'an began his explanation by recounting the historical context of replacing old peachwood charms with new ones during the replacement of old ones at home today, which led to the emergence of capitalism in the Ming Dynasty.

A nine-year-old child stands before a crowd, speaking eloquently. His confident gaze, calm expression, and powerful speech seem incongruous with his childish face.

Old Wang's relatives couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "Like begets like, and a rat's son knows how to dig a hole. The old saying is really true."

In Dahonggou Village, everyone knows that Wang Duoyu is a professor at Harbin Institute of Technology, has won some international awards, and has a very high status in Beijing.

In reality, they had no idea just how high Wang Duoyu's standing was in the eyes of the leaders in Beijing.

Now, through his sons, we can get a glimpse into his methods of educating his children, which are indeed very different from those of ordinary people.

The second child's lessons are not difficult to understand, and are even suitable for all ages, because they are based on storytelling.

Incorporating some events from this year's Spring Festival, it was indeed quite persuasive.

Soon it was the third child's turn, and Sisi was the last one to give a lecture.

Wang Junkang told stories related to medicine, probably because he had previously suffered from cancer, so he was more inclined to focus on this aspect.

While both are storytelling, Wang Junkang's approach is less vivid.

When it was Wang Yifei's turn, the little one went straight to a music lesson, which made everyone laugh.

"No laughing. It's class time now. You're not allowed to laugh. Anyone who laughs will have to stand outside as punishment."

Sisi got anxious and gave a fierce look.

Out of respect for her, everyone stopped laughing.

After things quieted down, the little guy started his lesson. Wang Duoyu watched him with great interest, wanting to see what he was up to.

Compared to her three older brothers, Wang Yifei is indeed not very qualified to be a teacher in this small class.

Anyway, everyone was laughing loudly during class.

The lesson she was going to teach everyone was to sing a song, specifically the Cantonese song "No Longer Hesitating," because it was her favorite song.

Today is Chinese New Year, is it appropriate to teach everyone this song?

Wang Duoyu didn't say anything, and Liu Xiaoli was also listening attentively and cooperating, so no one said anything and just played along with the little guy.

Twenty-five minutes is not a long time; after a bit of commotion, it's over.

By the end of the course, none of them had learned how to sing this song.

It was indeed quite funny, but it's a holiday now, so having fun is the most important thing.

So, in a family of four children, the eldest is a high-level player, the second is a well-behaved and excellent teacher, the third is a novice, and the youngest is a low-level player.

Despite it being a low-level game, everyone laughed the most and the most, so to be honest, it seemed like she had won.

Amidst the festivities, the Spring Festival Gala officially began.

This year's Spring Festival Gala was better than last year's, and more commercialized.

Since 1983, the Spring Festival Gala has had commercial sponsors. Nowadays, there are countless sponsors for the news broadcast and the midnight countdown.

1993 arrived as scheduled, and everyone was full of expectations for the new year.

The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year, the children began visiting each household to offer New Year's greetings and receive red envelopes.

When they reached the second year of junior high, Wang Junhong was the first to speak up, saying he wanted to manage the red envelopes himself and didn't want to use them to save money anymore.

Compared to the high interest rates of the previous two years, this year's interest rate is only 9%, which is much lower.

Therefore, based on this, Wang Junhong did not want to continue saving money; he wanted to invest it.

"Investment? Oh, do you have any ideas?"

Wang Duoyu was quite surprised. The little guy was under his nose almost every day, and to be honest, he didn't know when the little guy had seen any investment-related news.

"I don't really understand it either, but with interest rates so high and prices rising so fast, there must be a lot of investment opportunities. Shanghai has a stock market, and I'd like to go there and take a look."

"Oh, so you want to invest in stocks? Aren't you afraid of losing money?"

"Dad, doing business always involves both profits and losses; no one can guarantee they'll always be profitable."

Seeing how determined he was, Wang Duoyu shook his head and said:

"Then go and see for yourself. It's good to broaden your horizons."

It's no wonder you lose money in the stock market these days.

However, Wang Junhong also reminded him that China's financial industry will gradually align with international standards. Although there will be multiple layers of restrictions, it is certain that the stock market rules are not perfect and not open enough.

In the future, with the deepening of reform and opening up, even more things will surely happen.

Want Want Group also needs reform.

"Take your time, there's no rush, we have plenty of time."

The Spring Festival passed quickly, and on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Duoyu and his family returned to Harbin Institute of Technology.

The little ones received a lot of red envelopes, but apart from the eldest, the other two siblings also deposited the money in the bank.

Five years on a regular basis!

Before long, it was the tenth day of the Lunar New Year. Wang Duoyu took out a paper and sent it to Andrew Wiles.

The latter had already started work and opened the email immediately upon receiving it.

"Hmm? Professor Wang actually transformed arithmetic algebraic geometry onto the P-advanced field by introducing quasi-complete spaces, applied it to Galois representations, and developed a new cohomology theory?"

Wiles was stunned when he saw the paper.

This is no small matter.

Although it is nowhere near as good as the proof of the Hodge conjecture, in the mathematical community, such a paper is of very, very high quality.

"Has Professor Wang been researching these things for the past year or so?"

Wiles actually thought Wang Duoyu was studying the Langlands Program, but he didn't expect him to be studying these things.

It's too complicated because it involves multiple branches of mathematics, and it is indeed a large undertaking.

Because the title of this paper is very long, and the paper itself is a whopping 682 pages long.

"We started working right after the Spring Festival. Professor Wang really doesn't let us rest!"

Wiles muttered something, then started calling for reinforcements.

The Harbin Institute of Advanced Studies quickly erupted in excitement, as it concerned Wang Duoyu's thesis. More importantly, this thesis was the result of Wang Duoyu's efforts for over a year, and it was bound to be extraordinary.

Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that Wang Duoyu hadn't done anything related to mathematical theory last year.

While Shing-Tung Yau, William Thurston, Jean-Baptiste Gayn and others were busy reviewing papers, Wang Duoyu had already arrived at an air force base on the outskirts of Harbin to check the test flight data of the Mach 5 fighter jet.

After more than half a year of test flights, a large amount of flight data has been collected, but it's not over yet. More test flights are needed to improve the basic data of this aircraft.

This is the first time that China has independently developed such an aircraft. From the engine to the rivets, all the technology was developed and produced by domestic enterprises, without using any foreign technology.

Of course, even if it were given to foreign countries, they wouldn't have the technology to produce such a technology right now.

The Mach 5 fighter jet is currently the world's only atmospheric aircraft with the fastest flight speed.

"Have all these data been verified and validated? How much do they differ from the simulated data?"

Inside the laboratory, Wang Duoyu looked at the person in charge and asked.

Just as the person in charge began to speak, the phone in the next office suddenly rang.

The person in charge's secretary answered the phone, her expression changed drastically the next moment, and she quickly came to the laboratory to report.

"Boss, we got a call from Beijing. Something's happened."

A few minutes later, Wang Duoyu stood in the office with a livid face, pursing his lips and remaining silent.

The secret has been leaked!
Some technical information about the Mach 5 fighter jet has been leaked.

It was the National Security Bureau that notified them; otherwise, they wouldn't have known about it.

The leaked technical information is related to riveting technology.

"Professor, I'm so sorry, I didn't know this would happen," the person in charge said, trembling with fear.

Wang Duoyu looked at the other person with icy eyes:

"Although it seems to have nothing to do with you at the moment, we don't yet know the exact amount of leaked information. The departments in Beijing will definitely come over, and you will need to assist with the investigation."

"Put your work on hold for now, and hand the project over to Professor Lao Jingxiu temporarily."

In fact, Wang Duoyu believed that this matter had nothing to do with the person in charge in front of him, but since the information had been leaked, someone had to be held responsible.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to silence public opinion.

"Professor, I understand." The person in charge said with a bitter smile, extremely reluctant. (End of Chapter)
