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

February 1993, Johannesburg, Africa.

Boom!

The loud explosions of artillery shells echoed in the suburbs of Johannesburg, and could be clearly heard by residents in the city.

Johannesburg is one of the capitals of South Africa.

But the sound of artillery shells exploding was heard in the suburbs, and the citizens seemed to take it for granted and turned a deaf ear to it.

Only a few tourists looked in the direction of the explosion with fear before hurriedly taking cover.

There is a Rand Central Gold Mine in the suburbs, which is the world's largest gold mine in terms of output.

Recently, something else has happened over there.

Some people, unafraid of death, came to rob the gold that had just been transported from the gold mine refinery.

Those robbers must have a death wish, daring to come here and make a move. They're just asking for trouble.

"Andy, are you sure this is okay?"

On a distant hilltop, Cameron, holding binoculars, spoke with concern.

A middle-aged white man in his thirties or forties standing next to him smiled optimistically:

"How could something happen?"

"Don't worry, we're all prepared. That's nearly 300,000 ounces of gold. Once we get our hands on it, hehe, we'll be set for life."

Cameron remained somewhat worried.

Once they have 300,000 ounces of gold, they can quickly convert it into US dollars, because there are people willing to buy it.

In today's underground world, there is an organization that specializes in buying up 'stolen money' that is difficult to sell.

The purchase price varies depending on the circumstances surrounding the embezzled funds and whether transportation is required.

For example, if the gold was transported directly to the coast after the recent robbery of the Rand Central gold mine in southern Africa, it could be purchased at 95% of the current gold price.

If the acquisition is located near Johannesburg, the acquisition price will only be 70%.

The price difference is very large.

The price of gold this year is $360 per ounce.

If purchased at 95 percent of the original price, that would be $342 per ounce.

But if we go by 70%, that would be $252 per ounce.

The difference is too great.

After all, this is nearly 300,000 ounces of gold, one worth $75 million and the other $103 million.

Even a fool would know which one to choose.

Cameron was very worried because transporting gold from the Central Rand gold mine to the coast was a distance of hundreds or even thousands of kilometers.

If we were stopped by the guards at the Rand Central Gold Mine right now, we'd be in big trouble.

So before they even started, they spent nearly three million to purchase a large amount of weapons and equipment.

Five mortars, two armored tanks, 155mm self-propelled howitzers, 122mm rocket launchers, etc.

It encompasses almost all weapons and equipment within a 40-kilometer radius of luxury.

After all, the range of a 155mm self-propelled howitzer is about 18 kilometers, while that of a 122mm rocket launcher is 40 kilometers.

The arms dealer who sold them the weapons and equipment once said: "In the face of overwhelming firepower, all beings are equal."

Andy and Cameron both believed this statement very much, which is why they chose to do it.

Before retiring, the two were captains and deputy captains of the French special forces. They had fought side by side for many years and were very familiar with each other.

They had already faced life and death before, and now they would do anything for money.

After retiring, they had the opportunity to come into contact with the Arctic Fox mercenary group.

So Andy and Cameron followed suit and created a corporate organization called the Anka Mercenary Group, replicating the Arctic Fox Mercenary Group.

They took on five missions, but suffered heavy casualties and the pay was not much.

So, after much painful reflection, they planned this robbery today.

The entire Anka mercenary group consists of 120 people, divided into two squads.

The guards at the Rand Central Gold Mine are indeed formidable, and their firepower is also very strong.

However, it was still not enough compared to the three million dollars of heavy weaponry they had purchased.

Boom!

Explosions rang out continuously as self-propelled howitzers and rocket launchers fired incessantly, hitting the gold transport convoy.

Soon, the small team responsible for stealing the gold quickly withdrew, while Andy stayed behind to cover their retreat.

Suddenly, the sound of propellers came from afar. Andy and the others looked at it through the drone and their expressions changed drastically.

"Cameron, you need to evacuate immediately. We've spotted helicopters, and they might even scramble fighter jets. Once we're locked on by radar, we're doomed."

"Andy, we've already traveled five kilometers and are heading towards the dense forest ahead. Why don't we just contact that acquisition company directly? Losing thirty million is better than losing our lives, right?"

Andy pondered for a moment and said:
"Alright, after you hide, contact each other immediately, stay hidden, and also be careful. If the enemy really has thermal imaging equipment, you must hold your ground."

The two ended the call, and by then, Andy and the others could already hear the sound of the helicopter's rotors.

Fake!

They all let out a strange cry, then waited patiently and aimed their rocket launchers at the helicopter.

At this time, the helicopter was flying at low altitude, which was easily within reach of rocket launchers, and even self-propelled howitzers would not be a problem.

But they need to finish this quickly and can't stay in one place for too long, otherwise they'll definitely suffer.

Inside the office building of the Rand Central Gold Mine refinery, the person in charge, Atobai, had a drastic change in expression, his eyes filled with fear, ruthlessness, and panic.

"Fuck, Nazca simply doesn't have that kind of capability. It's either Mabato or Nazca, but where would he buy all that heavy weaponry?"

Atobey has mortal enemies, namely Nazca, Mabato, and their ilk.

They were all local warlords in South Africa, possessing both guns and power, but heavy weapons such as 122mm rocket launchers were not something that could be bought simply with money.

However, according to the information from the front, the enemy not only had armored tanks, but also rocket launchers, and their helicopters were also destroyed.

So Atobai could only call his superiors and request the deployment of fighter jets.

Behind the gold mines stand European and American capital; those people are ruthless monsters who devour people without blinking an eye.

If this 300,000 ounces of gold were successfully stolen, those capitalists would certainly be furious.

At that time, Atobai, as the person in charge, will definitely not be able to escape responsibility, and may even be considered to have embezzled funds.

Gold is the metal that many people covet, bar none, because it is equivalent to currency.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! We must bring the gold back!"

After finishing the call, Atobai quickly left the office building.

He's holding a satellite phone now, but he doesn't know when he'll hear good news.

More than 280 kilometers away from the Rand Central Gold Mine office building was the location of the Nazca warlords.

"You mean someone stole 300,000 ounces of gold from Atobai?" Nazca stood up in shock, staring wide-eyed as he asked.

There are Nazca informants in the Rand Central Gold Mine.

The information provided by Nazca's trusted confidant, who was in charge of intelligence work, was indeed astonishing.

That's 300,000 ounces of gold! Good heavens, who's so bold?

They actually dared to snatch food from a tiger's mouth; do they have a death wish?

"Yes, General, our men just reported that the bandits haven't left yet. Atobai has requested fighter jets and activated radar; they might even be deploying satellites."

Nazca's confidant respectfully reported:
"There are now about two thousand guards deployed, and more than five thousand remain to guard the position."

"So you think this is our opportunity?" Nazca asked, frowning in thought.

"This is our chance. If possible, we should intercept them in advance. This is gold worth over 100 million US dollars. We shouldn't give it up!"

After a pause, the confidant continued:

"Even if we fail in the end, we can still curry favor with Atobai's superiors and make them owe us a favor. They might even give us some reward money, since we helped them recover the gold."

Despite being bitter enemies, Atobai used to be a warlord.

In this day and age, money is the most important thing; everything else is meaningless.

Gold worth over 100 million US dollars is a huge sum.

NASCAR doesn't actually have that much wealth right now, otherwise they definitely wouldn't have let go of the MiG fighter jets that the Want Want Group's arms salesmen were trying to sell them last year.

As a warlord, Nazca felt little sense of security even with more than five thousand guns at his disposal.

In southern Africa, everything is chaotic.

Atobai became the white man's lackey, but he lived a good life and didn't have to worry about anything; he was essentially a regular army.

While the warlords of Nazca, Mabato, and Hybloon were free, they could only tolerate any trouble caused by the white people.

Because the white people in southern Africa are descendants of capitalists, and they hold a lot of power and guns, Nazca dared not make any rash moves.

In short, in southern Africa today, only neighboring Botswana is living very well; the rest of the country is not doing so well.

For most people, the first words that come to mind when Africa is mentioned are poverty, war, and disease.

Even in the 21st century, many African countries are still struggling and unable to develop their economies.

But Botswana is an exception.

In 1966, Botswana gained independence from Great Britain.

Before independence, the country had only 12 kilometers of roads, no industrial base, and a GDP per capita of $90.

At that time, Botswana was one of the poorest countries in the world.

But then they turned the tables, their first move being diamond resources.

In 1966 or 1967, the Olapa diamond mine was discovered in Botswana, which was one of the world’s largest diamond mines at the time.

This is definitely a windfall.

However, Botswana did not hand over all its resources to foreign companies. Instead, it partnered with the diamond giant Derbies and established a joint venture called Derbieswana.

To avoid being overwhelmed by resources, the Botswana government has also established a tax stabilization fund and a public debt service fund.

The 'Dutch disease,' which is common among Africans, does not occur in Botswana.

The Dutch disease was essentially caused by mismanagement of funds; all the money was spent, and other industries were also ruined.

Botswana was able to evade the test because they were clear-headed and quick-witted.

The second key to a successful comeback is political stability, low corruption, and reliable work.

In his past life, Wang Duoyu had heard from his classmates who had worked in Africa that Africans were quite lazy and inefficient.

However, in Botswana, his classmates all gave him a thumbs up.

This is one of the least corrupt and most transparent countries in Africa.

Botswana's three key strategies for a turnaround were not solely focused on diamonds, but rather on developing tourism, aquaculture, and other industries.

For example, they sold beef to Europe through the Lomé Agreement, and at the same time established industries in the capital Gaborone through the Industrial Development Act, including food processing and garment manufacturing.

As a last resort, in 1976, Botswana established its own central bank and issued its own currency, the Pula.

Having financial autonomy in one's own hands allows one to stand tall and attract foreign investment, which is a significant advantage for a small, landlocked country.

Since the 1980s, Botswana has been a well-known tourist destination in Africa.

In stark contrast is Southern Africa.

Botswana may have its minor issues, but it is definitely the most outstanding country on the African continent.

But what about South Africa?
The country was in chaos due to warlordism, and it even had three capitals, a situation unparalleled in the world.

Furthermore, foreign capital controls the entire southern Africa and even occasionally stirs up unrest.

In short, Botswana's ability to turn a bad hand into a winning one is something South Africa should definitely learn from.

Botswana has a land area of ​​58.2 square kilometers, ranking ahead of countries such as Kenya, France, Thailand, and Spain, and 45th in the world, which is not small.

Nazca, the South African warlord, actually fled from Botswana back in the day.

He still hoped to return to Botswana someday, but given the current situation, that seems impossible.

Botswana is quite stable and strong, and is not something that Nazca can even dream of.

After all, Delbis, the diamond giant, is no ordinary small company.

Just as Nazca was contemplating for a few minutes and deciding to make his move, Mabato had already assembled his team, and the main force was heading towards the outskirts of Johannesburg.

Mabato made a phone call to Atobai's superior, the white boss.

They offered to help.

As the saying goes, snakes have their paths, and rats have their ways.

The white boss was quite arrogant and not afraid of Mabato and his gang causing trouble.

If they dare to embezzle these 300,000 ounces of gold, then destruction awaits them.

Even if they escaped South Africa, they would have no chance of survival.

While Mabato, Nazca, and others were on their way, Andy, on the other side, also led his team to Cameron's side.

At this point, they were already 40 kilometers away from the scene of the incident, which is quite a distance.

"Cameron, what did they say? When will they arrive?"

"It only takes an hour!"

Cameron frowned and said:

"However, they said that we informed them at the last minute, so the price can only be 65%."

"Fuck, so little?"

Andy was about to explode. They had worked so hard for so long and finally managed to steal 300,000 ounces of gold, but they could only buy it at 65% of the normal price?
Isn’t this bullying?
They accepted the previous 70%.

Now that's five percent less, that's five million four hundred thousand US dollars.

"Andy, we're surrounded on all sides. According to radar feedback, many more people are coming from the southwest and northeast."

Cameron's expression was grave as he said in a deep voice:

"So it's hard to say whether we can last an hour."

They are currently in a place with abundant weaponry and forests for cover.

However, it's important to understand that the Rand Central Gold Mine is no ordinary entity.

The reason they were able to successfully rob the gold was mainly because the other party was unprepared.

After all, Cameron and Andy brought a lot of heavy weaponry and equipment, and they were caught off guard, so they succeeded by sheer luck.

This doesn't mean the Rand Central Gold Mine is bad; it just means their escort convoy wasn't well-equipped.

Surely a convoy of hundreds of vehicles wouldn't need a large number of 122mm rocket launchers for escort?
The radar system also failed to detect it, as it is very difficult to calculate.

"Impossible, we can definitely hold out for an hour."

No sooner had Andy finished speaking than someone came to report that the radar had detected fighter jets overhead.

"withdraw!"

Their only option was to escape.

If they are spotted by fighter jets, they will definitely be killed without a burial place.

Meanwhile, in a small town hundreds of kilometers away, a small team received the information and set off.

"This time we might face a large armed force from the Rand Central Gold Mine, so let's avoid conflict if possible. We're just going to make a deal."

"Lanstark said in a deep voice."

The others nodded repeatedly, indicating that they understood.

The helicopter team quickly airdropped them to a location only 20 kilometers away from Cameron and his men.

They were traveling in three Apache attack helicopters and four Chinook transport helicopters.

Upon arriving at the agreed location, Lancelot reconfirmed Cameron's location.

Cameron and his men, like stray dogs, were still fleeing, heading in the same direction as Lancelot and his men.

That's a good thing.

"Then hurry up and come over. It's about ten kilometers away. If possible, you should try to eliminate the pursuers behind you, otherwise, we may have a hard time completing the transaction."

"Mr. Lanstark, could you please help us get away from here?"

Five million dollars!

Cameron, who was on the run, fell silent upon hearing the price. He could only look at Andy on the other side, who nodded repeatedly: "Agree to it, five million it is, let's get out of here first."

Money is no longer so important to them; preserving their lives is the priority.

There was nothing they could do. The people at the Rand Central Gold Mine were like mad dogs, relentlessly chasing after them.

If they don't comply with Lanstark's demands, they might die here.

“Alright, Mr. Lanstark, we agree.”

Once the deal was agreed, Lanstark notified its South African branch to continue sending helicopters to pick up the people.

Of course, Cameron and his team also need to distract or destroy the fighter jets at the Rand Central Gold Mine.

Therefore, the ensuing battle was quite intense.

It was only a short distance of a dozen kilometers, but it cost Cameron and Andy more than thirty lives before they finally arrived at the transaction location.

Cameron and Andy were overjoyed to see Lancelot and his group.

They have helicopters, including Apache attack helicopters and Chinook transport aircraft—American equipment.

Take it!
"Once the funds arrive, we'll buy two more helicopters like these, and then we'll go all out on a bigger mission next time."

Andy and Cameron exchanged a glance, both seeing the joy and greed in each other's eyes.

If they had helicopters, their Anka mercenary group wouldn't have been so unlucky.

Three hundred thousand ounces of gold are worth more than one hundred million US dollars.

However, now they only received a little over 65 million US dollars, half of which was deducted, which is simply a death sentence for them.

Unfortunately, their equipment was not good enough, otherwise they wouldn't have needed to call for help.

"Very good, the transaction is complete. Let's leave now."

After confirming the gold, Lanstark handed over the super dollar to Anka's mercenary group.

At this time, the other two Chinook transport helicopters had also arrived, so everyone could leave safely.

The Chinook transport helicopter has a payload capacity of 33 to 36 people, or 12.7 tons.

The Anka mercenary group now has only sixty-odd men left, so two helicopters will suffice.

Three hundred thousand ounces of gold is equivalent to eight and a half tons, which could actually be transported by a Chinook transport helicopter.

But Lanstark would never do that. Instead, he divided the gold into four portions and had each portion transported away by a Chinook transport helicopter.

In addition, there were two Apache attack helicopters assisting, so it was naturally very safe.

Boom!

Less than five minutes after the helicopter left, a huge explosion rang out at the location where they had made their transaction.

This is the power of a time bomb.

Meanwhile, the heavily damaged Atobey, Nazca, Mabato, Hybron, and others arrived at the destroyed trading site about ten minutes later.

"Fuck, we're too late! They got away!"

Seeing this scene, Atobai's face turned ashen. He didn't know how to explain this to his white boss when he got back.

That's a full 300,000 ounces of gold!!!
Worth one hundred million US dollars!
Two days later, in the suburbs of Miami, North America.

Anka Mercenary Group's temporary base.

"Andy, we've suffered such heavy losses right now, should we wait six months before carrying out the mission?"

"No need. I think we should take a two-week leave, then wait for missions while training. At the same time, we also need to purchase fighter jets or helicopters."

Andy, with a solemn expression, picked up a glass of wine, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, then said:

"We lost so many people and so much money this time. Every time I think about it, my heart aches."

"If we had been properly armed, had determined our evacuation route, and had made all the necessary arrangements, this situation wouldn't have happened today."

"It's a pity that that bastard Lancelot refused to lend us the planes. Looks like we'll have to talk to other arms dealers about this."

Cameron frowned upon hearing this:
"No, no, no, Andy, I don't agree with renting the plane either. I'm worried that someone might plant a tracking chip on our plane, and then the enemy would know exactly where we go."

"The people behind Lancelot are still trustworthy; at least when it comes to their own interests, they are still willing to help us escape danger."

"Therefore, I think we still need to establish a close cooperative relationship with Lancelot and his side. Otherwise, do you think we can get out of this unscathed?"

To be honest, in the whole dark world.

Only Lancelot and his group are willing to abide by the rules, and there have never been any cases of them breaking the rules.

This is one of the reasons why these arms dealers sell weapons all over the world.

Although Lancelot and his team did nothing wrong, Andy was still very unhappy because of the $100 million worth of gold, they only ended up with $65 million.

They chose to keep this portion of the funds in cash, which is currently stored in their base.

The weapons and equipment we bought last time for more than three million US dollars are now almost gone.

Because all that equipment, including armored tanks and 122mm rocket launchers, was left in South Africa.

If every mission is like this, then their losses in weapons and equipment will be even greater.

"Andy, we should be content. You know, we only had six million dollars before, but now we have more than sixty-five million dollars in our hands."

Cameron persuaded Andy, and he finally calmed down.

"Then let's think about what kind of mission we should take on next time."

New York, the headquarters office building of Want Want Group.

"Wow, Martin, how did you come up with such a brilliant idea? Good heavens, with this one move and the next, we've made nearly $170 million!"

Inside the meeting room, Zheng Baoyin's eyes widened in disbelief after hearing the story, and he asked incredulously.

Martinez's proposed super dollar transaction plan was successfully approved, and the first collaboration resulted in a perfect integration.

The arms trade has reached market saturation, and there won't be much business in the short term.

At this crucial moment, arms dealers Lanstark, Brock, and others proposed a cooperation plan. After discussing it with Martinez and his team, they were even more willing to combine it with the super-dollar.

The solution proposed by Lancelot and his team was that since the market was currently saturated and there was no demand for arms, they would create demand.

There are many greedy people in this world.

They post related tasks in the dark world, and even provide related intelligence information for free.

There will always be someone willing to take the risk.

For example, the infamous Arctic Fox mercenary group, the Garden Organization, and the Anka mercenary group.

These are all highly capable individuals who are willing to take risks for money.

So as long as there's a task, they won't refuse it.

But to carry out those missions, you need very sophisticated equipment, and that's how the demand arose.

Anka's mercenary group spent over three million dollars to purchase a large amount of military equipment from Brock and his men.

The 300,000 ounces of gold stolen were quickly sold to Lanstark.

But Lancelot paid in huge sums of US dollars.

They made a fortune from those back-and-forth transactions!

Although the Anka mercenary group may once again use those super dollars to purchase weapons.

But this time, they are definitely eyeing the Apache attack helicopter and the Chinook transport helicopter.

With the connections that people like Andy and Cameron have, they could definitely buy such an aircraft.

Second-hand airplanes are fine too.

In short, the arms trade market has grown significantly.

Martinez humbly replied:
"It's alright, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly."

"Martin, you're too modest. When did you learn it?"

Wang Jianchao laughed loudly.

Those white Americans don't know what humility is; they must have spent a lot of time with Zheng Baoyin and his group to be like that.

Suddenly, Yabo Fein said:
"By the way, Martin, I've run into some trouble in South America lately. There's a big drug lord there named Mogolov. They have a lot of guns and ammunition, and he has a lot of connections with the local government and police."

"Because of these complicated relationships, our business over there has hit a bottleneck. Martin, do you think we should issue a mission to get rid of this drug lord?"

It is a certain fact that there are a large number of drug lords in South America.

This is true not only in South America, but also in many other places in Latin America.

It's almost fair to say that drug lords exist in many places outside of China.

Regardless of whether using this stuff is legal or not, there are still many people who do it.

Even in the southern United States, especially on many American farms near Mexico, crops such as poppies, cannabis, and coca have been grown on a large scale since the 1980s.

In the early 1980s, many farms in the southern United States were unable to make ends meet due to factors such as low food prices, making food farming extremely unprofitable.

Meanwhile, the Gulf Cartel in Mexico sent people to the United States to contact farms and offer them huge profits, so the farmers switched to growing opium poppies and other drug crops.

After successfully cultivating the plants, they secretly manufactured them into drugs locally and then sold them there.

The entire industry chain is located in the United States.

Because it was profitable, the Gulf Group would give large sums of money to many local officials and investors in the United States every year, and both sides made a fortune.

Therefore, it was quite common to see drug lords at this time.

“I’m afraid it won’t be easy. I’ve also heard of Mogolov,” Martinez said gravely.

"The other party is a difficult character; if we want to deal with them, we need to prepare a meticulous plan."

Suddenly, at that moment, Wang Duoyu's voice rang in everyone's ears:

"You're trying to take down drug lords again?"

what! ! !
Zheng Baoyin, Yabofein, Wang Jianchao, and others, who were frowning over how to plan the killing of Mogolov, were suddenly shocked.

No one expected that Wang Duoyu would eavesdrop on their meeting again.

"Professor, yes, our business in South America is facing obstacles."

Yabo Fein said bitterly:
"On several occasions, Daimler-Benz's car transport operations there have been disrupted, with vehicles being robbed or vandalized. Moreover, the other party has even threatened to demand protection money from Daimler-Benz's South American branch."

“We not only have to pay money to local government officials, but also protection money to several local gangs. Even so, many unexpected things still happen, resulting in very low profit margins for us in South America.”

"That's why I thought I'd take this opportunity to teach the local gangs a lesson they wouldn't forget."

As long as there is profit to be made, anyone, regardless of who they are, is likely to pounce and take a bite.

Daimler-Benz is a multinational giant on a global scale. Logically, such a giant company should be protected by the local government like a treasure.

Unfortunately, South America is not like that.

It's similar to South Africa; corruption, gangs, and drug trafficking are rampant, and the whole society is a mess.

Making money legally and legitimately in a place like this is indeed not easy.

Otherwise, even the unruly Japanese conglomerates would have to behave themselves after arriving in South America.

Japanese conglomerates purchased large amounts of farmland in South America, then built walled cities there, gradually forming their own mini-state world.

Wang Duoyu was well aware of these things, but he never expected that Daimler-Benz would encounter such a problem.

It's true that it's easier to deal with the King of Hell than with his underlings!

On the other hand, Wang Duoyu also guessed that it must be a senior executive from Daimler-Benz who was sent to South America to take charge of the work. He was not very capable and was even someone who was all talk and no action.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to reorganize the internal structure of Daimler-Benz.

"Okay, I understand. You can use a two-pronged approach, but you absolutely, positively must not let anyone outside know that we were the ones who did this."

"At the same time, I don't think your plan to take down Mogolov, the biggest drug lord in the area, is a good idea. At the very least, you need to figure out who will control the South American underworld after Mogolov steps down. That's very important."

"As for taking down Mogolov, hehe, that shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"

Upon hearing Wang Duoyu's words, everyone shook their heads.

Martinez said even more respectfully:
"Professor, we all know that in terms of intelligence, none of us can compare to you, let alone the fact that you come from China."

Ancient China had books such as "The Art of War" and "The Thirty-Six Stratagems," as well as the Twenty-Four Histories.

These books are incredibly impressive, showcasing strategies and tactics to their fullest potential.

Wang Duoyu is Chinese, and given his high intelligence, it's definitely safer for him to come up with strategies.

"Hehe, no need for that flattery!" Wang Duoyu smiled and shook his head.
"You can figure this out yourselves."

"I know you all want to make money, but you need to understand which money you can make and which you can't."

"Now that the Want Want Group has grown to such a massive scale, we need to be even more cautious, especially regarding your personal safety. You must keep this in mind and not get caught."

The reason he reminded everyone today was because Wang Duoyu had seen several related news articles in the past few days.

One is a bank robbery that occurred in a county town in southern China.

The case was not complicated. There were seven robbers in total. One morning, they stole 15 million RMB in cash and shot and killed four people in the armored truck in the street, seriously injuring three others.

Fifteen million yuan was a very large sum of money in 1993.

This incident caused quite a stir, and many newspapers across the country reported on the news.

Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast.

Secondly, in Hong Kong, a wealthy person has been kidnapped.

The robbers demanded HK$1 billion from the wealthy man's family to ransom him, or they would kill him.

It can be said that the 1980s and 90s were such a chaotic era.

Wang Duoyu wasn't too worried about his safety.

However, executives like Zheng Baoyin travel frequently and have considerable wealth. If something were to happen to them, frankly, it would be very difficult to handle.

After all, the executives of Want Want Group have mastered many of the company's secrets.

And once these secrets are leaked, things will get complicated.

"Professor, please rest assured, we will definitely be careful."

Lee Efra, Yabo Fein, Zheng Baoyin, Fuller Carson, and others nodded solemnly.

Wang Duoyu continued with a smile:
"Yes, I understand. I'm just reminding you all: never be arrogant. You can be high-profile in your work, but never be high-profile in your personal life. You must always be low-profile in your personal life."

Having finished his instructions, Wang Duoyu hung up the phone.

To be honest, video conferencing has been really convenient since it became available.

However, Zheng Baoyin and his men had no way to deal with the elusive Wang Duoyu.

This video conferencing software was jointly programmed by technical engineers from Amazon and Facebook, and it has absolutely no technical vulnerabilities.

Furthermore, it is frequently maintained, so it is impossible for anyone to enter the software and eavesdrop on Zheng Baoyin and his group's conversations without alerting them.

But Wang Duoyu did it, and he did it every single time.

Even if the technical engineers at Amazon and Facebook wanted to compete with Wang Duoyu, they couldn't.

I really don't know if Wang Duoyu's equipment is too strong or his skills are too amazing, or if the engineers at Facebook and Amazon are just too lousy.

Harbin, the ice city, inside the study villa on the lake island of the Weizigou campus of Harbin Institute of Technology.

After ending the video conference call, Wang Duoyu went about his work.

This year he needs to complete at least five theoretical mathematics research projects, so this is his main focus this year.

In addition to his previously completed papers on cohomology theory and related topics, what he now needs to advance is proving the boundedness of Fano algebraic varieties and conducting research on minimal model theory.

These are all cutting-edge theoretical mathematical research topics.

Yes, it's relatively simple.

Problems with a high degree of difficulty, such as the Yang-Mills existence and mass gap problem.

Yes, Wang Duoyu is going to take on this challenge again.

Because it involves the intersection of quantum physics and mathematics, it may unify the understanding of fundamental forces.

Therefore, Wang Duoyu was quite cautious and left this question for later.

Based on his current understanding of physics, he believes that reasoning out the existence and mass gap problem of Yang-Mills should not take more than a year or two.

Anyway, he hopes to complete it within six months or a year.

This year is already 1993, and next year will be 1994.

He wasn't particularly interested in the Fields Medal at next year's International Congress of Mathematicians.

If you manage to get it, someone else will collect it on your behalf.
