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

Late October 1993, Harbin, Want Want Group headquarters.

"So, these are all cancerous growths? And you, the person in charge, were completely unaware?"

Inside the meeting room, Wang Duoyu looked at Zheng Baoyin calmly, his tone equally indifferent.

But the more this happened, the more afraid Zheng Baoyin became.

A few days ago, Wang Duoyu suddenly had a whim and went on a clandestine visit to the sixth factory of Youma Garment.

This was not a big deal, after all, the person in charge of the Sixth Factory was already very used to such inspections.

Most of Yuma Apparel's production factories are located in Harbin.

There are quite a few bosses above us.

However, the real management, such as Zheng Baoyin and Wang Duoyu, would never come to the Sixth Factory.

Even if they come to inspect, they will notify you in advance, so the director of the Sixth Factory naturally has room to maneuver and prepare.

I never expected Wang Duoyu to pull off this kind of undercover mission.

This also revealed the darker side of Factory No. 6.

It wasn't really that dark; it was just a coincidence that I saw someone offer 100,000 RMB just to get the position of director of the third workshop in the sixth factory.

Apart from that, all I saw were some workers slacking off in the workshop.

This wasn't a big deal, right?
Unfortunately, they ran into Wang Duoyu.

It should be understood that lazy, opportunistic people who only know how to curry favor are the biggest cancer in a factory.

Even the management of a small factory, the Sixth Factory, was rife with the practice of accepting bribes.

How could someone without the necessary skills possibly want to become a workshop foreman by "buying" their way in?
The workshop director of the sixth factory at Yuma Garment Factory earns at least 3,000 RMB per month.

Moreover, it's a very relaxed and simple job, so naturally many people like it.

With a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan, that's 36,000 yuan a year. You can basically break even in three years, and after that, it's pure profit.

Logically speaking, such a position shouldn't be that attractive.

After all, Yuma Garment Factory is not a state-owned enterprise, but a private enterprise, so the workshop director's job is not guaranteed.

However, once you get the position of workshop director, there are many ways to quickly recoup the 100,000 yuan.

That's why so many people flock to it.

"Uncle, please rest assured, I will definitely reorganize the factory!"

Zheng Baoyin was drenched in sweat and quickly assured him.

Wang Duoyu snorted coldly:
"If I hadn't suddenly decided to investigate, I wouldn't have discovered this at all. They say that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. I never thought that even though I've been so tolerant, something like this would still happen."

"Starting a business is difficult, but maintaining it is even harder. Baoyin, you'd better take care of yourself!"

After that, he turned and left.

As soon as he left, Zheng Baoyin's face darkened instantly.

Without a doubt, the Yuma Garment Factory, and almost all of its factories, will soon face a storm.

On the other hand, Wang Duoyu did not go straight home, but went to inspect the Pioneer Technology manufacturing plant.

The mass production plan for the Longxiao stealth fighter jet has now been submitted to higher authorities and will be approved soon.

Once the plan is approved, Pioneer Technology Manufacturing Plant will also usher in new development opportunities.

It can be said that Pioneer Technology Manufacturing Plant will have more production tasks at that time.

Previously, Pioneer Technology was a subsidiary of Harbin Institute of Technology and belonged to the collective industry.

However, it has now been acquired by Wang Duoyu and is now a semi-private, semi-state-owned enterprise.

However, these are not the main points. Pioneer Technology will definitely be able to secure some production tasks, and as a result, the company's overall level of confidentiality will also reach a new level.

There was no other way; the Dragon Roar stealth fighter was simply too important, and it absolutely could not be known to the outside world.

"Professor, all of our skilled workers have undergone rigorous training and passed multiple rounds of political vetting."

The head of Pioneer Technology Manufacturing Plant reported respectfully to Wang Duoyu.

Private companies generally do not require political vetting.

However, Pioneer Technology Manufacturing Plant is completely different. Not only does it require a political background check, but it also requires multiple rounds of review before one can enter the company and become an employee.

Even temporary workers need to undergo such rigorous screening.

Wang Duoyu nodded calmly and said:

"Don't think it's troublesome. These are all procedures that need to be followed. Efficiency is definitely necessary, but the procedures must also be kept smooth."

"Anyone who dares not to carry out the instructions seriously, anyone who dares to tamper with any part of the process, will be sent to jail, or even executed!"

In our country, there are laws that allow the execution of the death penalty.

Working at Pioneer Technology's manufacturing plant, any violation of regulations will inevitably result in very serious consequences.

They could be executed, or even tortured beyond recognition, because if secrets are leaked, no one can withstand the interrogation process.

Therefore, Pioneer Technology's salaries are several times higher than the market average, especially since most of its technical engineers already earned relatively high salaries, and now they are even higher.

But with higher wages come more rules.

"Understood, Professor. Please rest assured, we will manage it well."

The person in charge quickly assured him.

Wang Duoyu nodded noncommittally.

Sometimes, it's not about what the other person says, but about what they do.

Anyway, Wang Duoyu wasn't too worried about this matter. Nowadays, the Pioneer Technology Manufacturing Plant has various audit systems, security departments, surveillance cameras, and so on.

There are also various advanced technologies operating in the shadows, and national security personnel are keeping a close watch on the perimeter to ensure the integrity of this company.

Back on the island in the middle of the lake, Liu Xiaoli was taking a walk with her second and third sons.

"It's so cold, why are you all out here?"

Seeing her and the children outside, Wang Duoyu felt a pang of heartache and said.

It's already late October, and the weather in Northeast China is incredibly cold, especially in Harbin, where temperatures are currently around -7 or -8 degrees Celsius.

It snowed a few days ago, and the snow and ice on the ground are quite thick, with some ice blocks, making the roads a bit slippery.

Even Wang Duoyu's car, which he uses daily, has been equipped with anti-skid chains.

Therefore, he was naturally very worried about Liu Xiaoli.

As for the second son and his siblings, they are quite resilient, so I'm not too worried.

"It's alright, it's not too cold," Liu Xiaoli laughed. "Besides, we've been sitting at home all day, like we're in prison, we just came out for some fresh air."

"Dad, we're not cold."

The second son and his siblings chimed in.

Wang Duoyu nodded, then helped Liu Xiaoli back into the house.

She's due in about a month, so it's good for her to walk around more now, but she also needs to be extra careful.

Extreme caution is required during the first three months of pregnancy and the last three months.

Not long after I got home, my eldest son, Wang Junhong, returned.

"Dad, your paper has been published! I saw it! Dad, you're amazing!"

As soon as he got home, Wang Junhong excitedly took the "Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematics Journal" to his father and praised it.

He never expected that his father had already published two papers proving the Riemann Hypothesis.

This is the Riemann Hypothesis.

As a mathematics researcher, although Wang Junhong is currently only at the level of a doctoral student, he already clearly understands just how remarkable his father is.

The more he learned about mathematical problems such as the Riemann Hypothesis, the Poincaré Conjecture, and the Hodge Conjecture, the more amazed he became by his father's talent.

He had previously seen in newspapers and other media the high praise people had for his father: the Mathematics Emperor!

At the same time, he was influenced by the admiration and respect that top mathematics professors such as Shing-Tung Yau had for his father from a young age.

I didn't quite understand it then, but I do now.

His father had already partially proven the Riemann Hypothesis, a hypothesis that others might struggle to prove even in their entire lives.

There are many other top-level mathematical problems similar to the Riemann Hypothesis, which his father has already proven one by one.

That's amazing, that's incredible.

Liu Xiaoli and the others were all astonished by what Wang Junhong said.

"Boss, you're exaggerating a bit. I know your dad is amazing, and you've known him for a while now. Why are you admiring him so much today?"

Upon hearing Liu Xiaoli's words, Wang Junhong turned his head and exclaimed excitedly:
"Mom, you don't understand. You haven't studied mathematics, so you don't know how amazing Dad's achievements in mathematics are."

"Let me give you an example. Mom, you're like most people who haven't studied math. You only think Dad is amazing, but you don't know how amazing he really is. You're like frogs in a well, only thinking the moon is big, but that's all."

"But in the eyes of most mathematics researchers, especially mathematics professors, Dad is like the sun, something we can only look up to forever."

Liu Xiaoli and the others were even more surprised.

They can naturally understand such simple words.

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu shook his head and chuckled, interrupting the little guy's spellcasting:

"Boss, come on, you're exaggerating. It's not as exaggerated as you're making it out to be."

"Although I'm happy, you've got enough. My talent is useless; your mother and I will be happy if you and your younger siblings can succeed."

"Alright, let's eat dinner and stop chatting."

Suddenly, Sisi said, "Daddy is the best, I love Daddy the most."

"Me too!"

Haha!

The atmosphere at home immediately became even more cheerful and lively.

The next day, Wang Duoyu received the gold that had been shipped from overseas.

These gold pieces were all transshipped from Kwai Chung Pier in Hong Kong, and it took more than a week for them to finally arrive at Harbin Institute of Technology.

Two hundred thousand ounces of gold—this is part of Wang Duoyu's gold purchases this year.

After the gold was brought back, Yuan Zuliang and his men transported it to the second basement floor of the study villa and hid it there.

Wang Duoyu, on the other hand, went to the third basement level.

The entire third basement level had become much larger, and the supercomputer in front of us had become a colossal entity.

Since the current supercomputer is needed for the creation and research of artificial intelligence, Wang Duoyu has planned to produce two more supercomputers as backups.

He needs to store a lot of data. Not to mention other things, just the photos and videos recording the growth experiences of the four children, Wang Junhong, Wang Junan, Wang Junkang, and Wang Yifei, will require a lot of storage hard drives.

And other highly confidential documents and files.

Therefore, such a computer device definitely cannot connect to the external network.

"Yes, there's still not enough internet data, but the number of internet cafes in China is growing at a faster rate, especially after the bid for the Olympics."

Wang Duoyu stared at the supercomputer in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.

Once the artificial intelligence is sufficiently trained, it will be able to free up its hands.

In the future, many products will be able to appear ahead of schedule.

Therefore, China's science and technology will experience a new round of explosive growth in the next ten years or so.

Over the next few days, Wang Duoyu did not continue to work on the existence and quality gap issues of Yang Mills, but instead focused on other tasks.

Pioneer Technology Manufacturing Plant needs to develop domestically produced civil airliners, complete test flight work as soon as possible, and also undertake some of the production tasks for the Longxiao stealth fighter.

As the only fighter jet in the world capable of flying at Mach 5, the stealth performance of the Dragon Roar stealth fighter is not solely due to its high speed.

Furthermore, its tailless design significantly reduces its radar cross-section.

It's important to understand that modern stealth fighters are actually achieved through radar stealth technology systems.

The main method to achieve comprehensive stealth is through radar scattering control, the application of radar-absorbing materials, infrared signal printing, and electronic countermeasures systems; it does not mean that the device is invisible to the naked eye.

The core technologies are actually aerodynamic shape optimization, composite absorbing materials, engine thermal management, and active electronic interference.

In terms of composite absorbing materials, the main research and development is a joint effort between companies under Harbin Institute of Technology and Hongxing Group. In addition, Want Want Group also has many such research and development institutions, so they can provide ample assistance in terms of materials.

With Wang Duoyu's technical guidance, this is the most crucial point.

After all, Wang Duoyu was a time traveler, and he didn't have much research experience in this area, but he was clear about future research directions and could naturally provide guidance in this regard.

Therefore, just the Pioneer Technology Manufacturing Plant alone was enough to give Wang Duoyu a lot to worry about.

In addition, there are several other companies such as Huachen Mobile, as well as Liu Xiaoli's side, so his time is indeed not enough.

busy!
Latin America, Hinotta, the police station in the center of a small town, the location of a major drug lord's vault.

As the last vault door opened, Andy, Cameron, Bertrand, and others quickly entered the vault.

Inside the vault, there was no one, only gleaming gold and US dollar bills.

It dazzled everyone.

Goodness, this drug lord Florencia is really rich.

There must be more than 200,000 ounces of gold in front of us, right?

These US dollar bills are certainly worth far more than two hundred million US dollars.

In addition, there are some foreign currencies such as British pounds, as well as precious items such as diamonds, antiques, and gemstones.

He truly lives up to his reputation as a major drug lord; he can get his hands on anything.

Cattle!
"Developed!"

Andy and the others were overjoyed and immediately ordered everyone to start moving the gold.

Bertrand and Karlheinz exchanged glances and stepped forward to help.

Some members of their Arctic Fox mercenary group entered the vault ahead of time and made a hole in the other end of the vault to leave ahead of schedule.

Therefore, Bertrand and his men had to cover up the entrance to prevent the Anka mercenary group from discovering it.

Soon, all the gold, US dollar cash, and other valuables in the vault were moved away.

Just when Bertrand and his men thought everything was foolproof, Rubensek, a member of the Anka mercenary group, suddenly noticed something unusual about the hole.

"Andy, look over there, it looks like..."

Before Ruben Seik could finish speaking, Bertrand and the others blocked their way with their bodies and shouted loudly:

"We need to evacuate immediately."

Time is indeed very tight now, because so much time has already been wasted. If they don't evacuate in time, they will inevitably be surrounded by the police who are coming back to reinforce them.

If we are truly surrounded, then there is a real possibility that something unexpected could happen.

After all, drug lord Florencia has indeed left Sinotga, but he still has a large number of men under his command.

Andy and his friends understood the principle that many ants can kill an elephant.

But then, a strange opening appeared at the entrance to the vault, making Andy and Cameron's hearts skip a beat.

"let me see!"

Andy's face turned ashen. He tried to shove Bertrand away, but to his utter surprise, Bertrand stood rooted to the spot, unmoved.

"Bertrand, you've tricked us, what are you trying to do?"

Karl-Heinz suddenly stepped forward, patted Bertrand on the shoulder, and said:

"let's go."

The latter immediately understood, and then turned and walked out of the vault with the other person.

At this moment, Cameron suddenly drew his gun and pointed it at Bertrand and Karlheinz.
"You can't leave! Stop right there!"

Behind Cameron, several members of the Anka mercenary group, also with serious expressions, pointed their guns at Bertrand and his companion.

If Bertrand and his men make any unusual moves, they will surely be riddled with bullets.

Andy arrived at the entrance of the cave and saw the cut marks on it. He kicked it open and, sure enough, saw the tunnel inside.

Almost instantly, Andy understood the situation.

He glared angrily at Bertrand and the others:

"Bertrand, you guys are really something, actually arranging for people to dig a tunnel in advance? Come on, you guys need to explain this clearly later, what exactly is going on?!"

The next moment, Bertrand and Karlheinz were disarmed and their hands were handcuffed with silver bracelets.

The cooperation between the two major mercenary groups inevitably led to internal strife.

The spoils weren't divided equally!
Even if it's not due to unequal distribution of spoils, greed or other factors can lead to unforeseen circumstances.

Furthermore, even within the same organization, conflicts can arise due to conflicting interests; after all, there are all sorts of birds in a big forest.

Just a few steps after Andy and his men led Bertrand and Karlheinz out of the vault, the two began to fight back.

They were all battle-hardened special forces soldiers, so naturally none of them would submit to the other.

Meanwhile, the Arctic Fox mercenary group had also received the signal and the counterattack began.

The Anka mercenary group suffered numerous casualties immediately.

Even Andy and Cameron were shot, and Bertrand and Karl-Heinz were no exception, both injured.

The two sides turned on each other and started fighting!
The Arctic Fox mercenary group had made prior arrangements, catching the Anka mercenary group off guard. However, the Anka mercenary group was not to be underestimated and quickly retaliated.

"withdraw!"

"I'm wounded," Bertrand said through gritted teeth.

Because by this time, a number of drug lord's men had already arrived outside the police station.

If we don't evacuate now, we'll likely perish here.

Andy and his men were at their wits' end and dared not continue fighting the Arctic Fox mercenary group.

But they found it hard to swallow this insult.

They were the ones making money with the Arctic Fox mercenary group, yet the other side dared to resort to these underhanded tactics.

unacceptable!

When it comes to profit, they really don't care about morality at all!

Fortunately, when the gold and other valuables were moved out of the vault, the two sides had already made a simple distribution.

Since the profit is split 40/60, it's more appropriate for each party to take their own goods.

"Fuck, Fuck!!!"

Sitting in the car, Andy grew angrier the more he thought about it.

Meanwhile, Bertrand pressed the remote control of the bomb in advance, completely detonating a street near the police station.

After the explosion, the Arctic Fox mercenaries withdrew from this direction.

The drug lord's henchmen, along with police officers, split into two groups to pursue the Anka mercenary group and the Arctic Fox mercenary group, respectively.

The vault had been completely looted, and everyone, from the police to the drug lord's men, felt that disaster was about to strike.

How could they possibly be wiped out in their own backyard?
Time flew by, and the Arctic Fox mercenary group had already arrived at the rendezvous point. After giving Bertrand and Karlheinz a quick treatment for their wounds, they left immediately.

After setting sail, they also had two seaplanes in the nearby waters.

They abandoned the speedboat and the seaplane quickly took off, leaving Latin America and heading straight for South America.

The Anka mercenary group fled north, intending to return to Mexico and then back to Miami.

In the waters near Cuba, drug kingpin Florencia was discussing sales with a major client.

After all, Cuba is a tough nut to crack and not easy to deal with; unexpected events often occur.

Otherwise, Florencia wouldn't have come to negotiate in person.

Just then, his phone suddenly rang.

This is a satellite communication phone, so no matter where you are in the world, except for the North and South Poles, you can make calls.

"Boss, your vault has been robbed by two international organizations."

Boom!

Florencia felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her mind going completely blank.

After a while, he came to his senses and asked anxiously:
"What did you say? Say it again?"

"Boss, the vault has been robbed, all the money inside has been taken, not a single penny is left."

The subordinate's voice was trembling with tears, filled with anxiety, resentment, panic, and helplessness.

Even for a major drug lord who has been in the underworld for so many years, this is the first time he has experienced something like this.

Their own stronghold was completely wiped out?
Fake!

Noticing Florencia's unusual expression, the Cuban client asked with curiosity:
"Florencia, what's wrong?"

They called it concern, but it was actually just gloating.

As is well known, Florencia is one of the biggest drug lords in Latin America, and he is usually very arrogant and domineering.

Unexpectedly, the other party now had a look of fear and unease on their face.

This is really interesting.

"Fuck, did you do this?"

Suddenly, Florencia flew into a rage, staring at the Cuban client with a ferocious expression and demanding an explanation.

"Get lost! Who would dare lay a hand on you? If I did, would you still be standing here in front of me?"

Bang!
Enraged, Florencia was like a mad dog, biting anyone she saw.

He was truly helpless, because his vast savings had been broken into and all the money he had accumulated over the years had been completely taken away.

This caused him to return to square one.

If a police station couldn't protect this huge treasury, were all those officers incompetent?
What kind of organization can do this?
unacceptable!

At Los Angeles International Airport, Yabo Fein received a phone call as soon as he got off the plane.

"Oh, you mean the Anka mercenary group has completed their mission? Good, very good. Then you should complete the transaction with them as soon as possible; we need to get that gold into our hands smoothly."

Yabo Fein is closely following Wang Duoyu's 'strategy'.

Storing more gold is always a good idea.

Because gold is such a good store of value.

Although, in many cases, gold is just a metal.

But many of their transactions can actually be conducted using gold.

Furthermore, this gold can also be sold on the international gold market.

In conclusion, having gold in your hands is definitely the right thing to do.

After hanging up the phone, Yabo Fein took a car to the Los Angeles headquarters of Want Want Group and met with Zheng Baoyin, Wang Jianchao and others.

Today was a small gathering of senior executives from the Want Want Group, with many of them coming to Los Angeles.

"President Zheng, President Wang, and everyone else, I have some good news to share with you."

Upon meeting, before they could even exchange a few pleasantries, Yabofein chuckled and began to recount what he knew.

Zheng Baoyin and his colleagues were unaware of the robbery of the Latin American drug lord's vault.

Because this whole thing was planned by Orlando and his group, but the execution was handed over to the Anka mercenary group.

Although this means Orlando and his team will have to pay some money, the risk has been completely transferred to them.

Besides, the Want Want Group has plenty of cash on hand right now.

The super dollar factory that Martinez was in charge of had excellent cash flow.

"Oh, there are suddenly more than 200,000 ounces of gold?"

After listening, Zheng Baoyin raised an eyebrow and said:
"That's great! Let's take it back then. According to my uncle's prediction, the price of gold will definitely rise next year. Buying a lot of gold now is definitely the right thing to do."

Investing in physical gold is inevitable, but it's not easy to sell it off in a short period of time.

However, the fact that Wang Duoyu mentioned this matter before suggests that there must be something to be gained from it.

"Hmm, it seems you've all invested quite a bit. I guess I'll have to work harder too," Wang Jianchao said with a smile.

Qiao Hanliang couldn't help but say:

"Jianchao, you've been quite the ladies' man lately. You've snatched away more than five Hong Kong actresses, haven't you? And every single one of them is a top star. No wonder the professor said you have a good eye. Haha, so naturally you're falling behind in gold investment."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianchao's face stiffened, and he glared fiercely at Qiao Hanliang:
"Old Joe, stop showing off. Even if we're both equally bad, you're no better than me."

The saying "Men with money become bad" is not just a saying.

Moreover, Wang Jianchao's current wealth has exceeded 2.5 billion US dollars.

With such wealth, one would naturally rank among the top on the global wealth list.

Of course, among the truly wealthy, it's nothing special.

Even so, a billionaire like Wang Jianchao would be irresistible to not only beauties from Hong Kong and Taiwan, but even top-tier and second-tier Hollywood actresses.

Who doesn't want to rise to the top and become a phoenix?
Although Qiao Hanliang's net worth is not as high as Wang Jianchao's, he is still a billionaire.

So he also frequently slept with female celebrities.

It's not that female celebrities are necessarily very beautiful, but rather that the aura surrounding them makes them more desirable to conquer.

People tend to want what they can't have.

Zheng Baoyin slapped the table and said:
"Alright, enough with the talk, let's get to the meeting!"

Since he said that, everyone naturally stopped chatting idly.

The first topic is the report on the internal self-inspection of Want Want Group.

A few days ago, Zheng Baoyin was called back to China by his uncle because the incident at the Yuma Garment Factory No. 6 had aroused Wang Duoyu's attention and anger.

After this incident, Zheng Baoyin toured and reorganized major factories across the country, while also notifying other business leaders to conduct targeted self-examinations.

It would be best to travel incognito.

Only in this way can we find the root of the problem.

Otherwise, the people below would naturally eliminate all unreasonable things in advance, so that the person in charge who comes to inspect will not be able to see the problems inside the factory.

"Let me go first."

Qiao Hanliang was the first to speak.

Everyone was very enthusiastic about this issue and did indeed identify quite a few problems.

On the other hand, it is necessary to ensure the healthy and sound development of the company from multiple perspectives, such as employee care and internal complaint channels.

This is one of the solutions that Wang Duoyu had previously proposed. As for how to implement it and who will be responsible, the heads of each company will certainly be able to handle this matter properly.

Because nowadays, people like Qiao Hanliang, O'Brien, Fuller Carson, and Zheng Baoyin are all their own bosses.

They would certainly want to manage the companies under the Want Want Group for Wang Duoyu.

Otherwise, it will ultimately harm the interests of these senior executives.

More than an hour later, the first topic finally came to an end.

Following that, Zheng Baoyin and his group discussed the issue of improving the Somali peninsula.

Yabo Fein is the most qualified to speak on this matter.

"On the Somali peninsula today, warlords such as Aidid, Mahdi, Gambella, and Bodele have entered an era of infighting, with the big fish eating the small fish and the small fish eating the shrimp."

"Among them, Aidid and his group have already proactively applied to us for permission to cultivate dates on a large scale."

"Once the date palm trees are planted, and the first batch of dates ripens and hits the market, the warlords will definitely become increasingly reluctant to part with them after they've tasted the benefits."

If the Somali peninsula can be developed, it will be a very good thing for the Want Want Group.

While there are profitable opportunities in Australia, South America, and other parts of Africa, the development potential is limited.

The Somali peninsula is still more profitable.

Previously, Orlando and his fellow special forces soldiers, who were protecting arms dealers, had traveled to various locations.

From Moscow to Africa, Wang Duoyu is now demanding that the special forces tighten up their ranks, hoping to gradually shed this heavy burden.

However, Zheng Baoyin and the others were reluctant to part with it.

Why?

On the one hand, it's because Orlando and his special forces are very strong, and they shouldn't give up so easily.

Secondly, the 'European consortium' represented by Want Want Group needs a certain deterrent effect. If some of the special forces are laid off, it will naturally be detrimental to the development of the consortium.

Thirdly, although the current arms market is approaching saturation, it is not yet saturated.

Therefore, we shouldn't shed the heavy burden of being a special forces soldier.

In order to give these special forces soldiers a good future, the best outcome would be to find a new way out.

The Somali Peninsula is an excellent training ground for troops.

"Therefore, given the current situation, the time is ripe, and we can formally intervene and establish our own base on the Somali peninsula."

Yabofan's eyes lit up as he said:
"I chose Socotra, a small island in the Gulf of Aden in northern Somalia, as our base, and we can certainly establish our own base there."

Socotra Island is a very nice place. The island has an area of ​​3,650 square kilometers, which is not a small island.

After all, Mauritius is only 2,040 square kilometers.

If Socotra Island can be used as a springboard, then it is indeed possible to intervene in the Somali peninsula very smoothly.

However, the environment on Socotra Island is very poor, so improving the island is naturally not an easy task.

"This island is only suitable as a training ground; it's not secluded enough and easily discovered."

Zheng Baoyin frowned and said:

"If you ask me, we should establish the base in the heart of the Somali desert. Isn't there a place called Hideb there? We can set up our base there."

Hidab is located deep in the desert and Gobi, and usually no one comes here.

It is an absolutely natural and secluded place.

But this place is the middle of nowhere, is it appropriate to build a base here?

Many people expressed their concerns and pointed out numerous problems.

The most difficult problem to solve is the food supply; you can't always provide water to this base, can you?
In that case, wouldn't the investment in this base increase dramatically?

"General Zheng, I believe we should directly eliminate a warlord's army; this would be more in our best interest."

"We're going to develop the Somali peninsula, not to provide it with aid."

"Doing this kind of charity might end up costing us money."

That makes sense, but not much.

How could Zheng Baoyin not know these things?
But before today's meeting, he was still in Harbin. His uncle had already told him that if they wanted to develop the Somali Peninsula, it would be best to use it as a testing ground to develop desert improvement technologies.
Therefore, he spoke directly:

"Everyone, it's like this. My uncle instructed me that he has already arranged a desert improvement technology research and development project, and the Somali Peninsula is a very good testing ground."

The Taklamakan Desert in China would be a much better testing ground, wouldn't it?

Unfortunately, Wang Duoyu knew better than anyone that the Taklamakan Desert was extremely complicated, and he did not want to get involved at this time.

Somalia is an absolutely chaotic region, and many international powers are unwilling to touch it.

Starting this month, UN peacekeeping forces have withdrawn, leaving only warlords like Aidid and his ilk on the Somali peninsula.

Their territory is practically barren; Somalis are nowhere to be found, not even in the deep deserts or Gobi regions, let alone in the areas surrounding the desert.

Especially now, under the Want Want Group's strategy of "using one wolf to devour another," these warlords like Aidid are weakening each other's strength.

This further exacerbates the contradictions and hatred between them.

They want reconciliation, but that's even more impossible.

Against this backdrop, the Somali peninsula was like a beautiful woman, at Zheng Baoyin's mercy.

"Desert improvement technology project?"

Wang Jianchao looked at each other in disbelief, while Yabo Fein, Fuller Carson, Qiao Hanliang, and the others were all dumbfounded.

However, this is indeed Wang Duoyu's method, because he would actually do such a thing.

The senior executives of Want Want Group in the conference room all knew Wang Duoyu's personality very well.

I've always enjoyed facing challenges head-on on my research journey.

For others, the desert and Gobi are insurmountable obstacles, but in Wang Duoyu's view, although it may be impossible to defeat them, he is absolutely willing to challenge them and ultimately win.

"Yes!" Zheng Baoyin nodded.

"My uncle has given me a very detailed plan; we just need to follow it when the time comes."

"Regarding freshwater resources and related supplies, the only option is to invest in and build a desalination plant in the small town of Berbera, which is close to the Gulf of Aden. Most of the supplies will also be transshipped from the port of Berbera to Hidab."

"Everyone can take a look at the project plans in your hands. If there are no problems, then proceed according to this plan and cooperate as needed."

"What needs to be finalized now is the issue of who will be in charge of the Hideb project."

Hidab is located in the heart of the desert and Gobi region. It is nearly 300 kilometers away from the port of Perpela, which is quite a long distance.

Furthermore, the Hideb Desert Greening and Improvement Project was of great importance to Wang Duoyu, so the selection of the person in charge was extremely crucial.

The executives were immediately struck by a headache.

Because it's really not easy to choose.

However, Want Want Group has a wealth of talent, so solving this problem should be quite easy.

After the first round of recommendations, Zheng Baoyin and his team indicated that an interview would be held in Los Angeles in three days to finalize the appointment as soon as possible.

Three days later, the interviews concluded successfully. Pei Xiaojun was appointed as the person in charge of the military affairs, while the research and development project was led by the fearless Mitchell.

"Congratulations, Pei Xiaojun. As the military attaché in charge, you will be responsible for the training and management of all armed personnel in the Hideb Project, as well as the security of the entire Hideb Project."

Zheng Baoyin looked at Pei Xiaojun and Mitchell seriously and said:
“Mitchell, I hope you can do a good job with the entire desert improvement project in Hideb, because it concerns the interests of our entire group.”

"I will give you two years. If you cannot find the right path, then I will dismiss you from your posts. Is that clear?"

Pei Xiaojun and Mitchell quickly shouted to indicate that they understood.

Thus, the Hidab project was officially launched.

We now need to send people to the Somali peninsula to airdrop some supplies ahead of schedule.

The research and development personnel then departed from the port of Pepera and traveled by car to Hidab. (End of Chapter)
