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

December 1993, Harbin.

The corridor outside the delivery room in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Harbin Institute of Technology Affiliated Hospital.

Wang Duoyu and his family were all there, their faces filled with anxiety, waiting silently.

Inside the delivery room, Liu Xiaoli was lying on the verge of fainting.

At 34, Liu Xiaoli is considered an elderly mother in this era.

But she was willing to give birth to this child and suffer this pain, so Wang Duoyu couldn't do anything about it.

As a loud cry of a newborn baby rang out from inside the delivery room, smiles immediately spread across Wang Duoyu's and the others' faces.

"Dad, am I going to be a big sister? I won't be the youngest in the family anymore."

At this moment, Wang Yifei was happier than anyone else. She hugged her father's waist and looked up to say something.

She has always been the youngest child in her family.

Although she has a younger brother, he is her cousin.

Now, her two cousins, Lu Chengwu and Li Qizheng, don't stay on the island in the middle of the lake very often either.

Most importantly, Wang Yifei thinks babies are fun, so she especially likes and looks forward to the child in her mother's belly.

"Yes, you'll be a big sister soon."

While chatting with the little one, Wang Duoyu's attention was fixed on the delivery room door.

Not long after, the delivery room door finally opened from the inside, and the obstetrician came out:

"Congratulations, Professor Wang, mother and daughter are safe and sound."

"Thank you, Dr. Chen, you've worked so hard!"

Wang Duoyu gave the other party a red envelope, since it was a joyous occasion and it was indeed appropriate to do so.

After a brief period of excitement, Liu Xiaoli was quickly wheeled out, and her daughter was also held by a nurse.

"mom!"

"My little sister is so fair-skinned! Oh, she smiled at me!"

The family surrounded Liu Xiaoli and her newborn sister. The little kids were chattering noisily, but Wang Duoyu stopped them.

"Stop arguing, all of you. Your mother needs to rest and recuperate. If you must speak, please keep your voices down."

The kids then spoke in hushed tones, and the room became much quieter.

Because Liu Xiaoli had a natural birth and there were no major complications, she stayed in the hospital for two days before being discharged to go home for postpartum care.

After Liu Xiaoli returned home, Wang Duoyu was able to get back to work.

However, he only spends four or five hours a day working, which is not much.

Because he also needs to take care of his family, after all, with an additional child, he is ultimately quite busy.

Even with a nanny and a postpartum caregiver at home to help, he, as the father, would still try to help as much as he could.

It's winter now, and it's snowing again in Harbin these past few days.

Nine days after Liu Xiaoli was discharged from the hospital, Wang Duoyu received a call from the school while working in his study.

"Okay, Principal, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Duoyu changed his clothes and immediately went out.

Inside the Harbin Institute of Technology Affiliated Primary School, in the teacher's office of the second-grade teaching building, Wang Junkang stood with two children, all three of them with bruises on their faces.

Because they all got into a fight.

Wang Duoyu pushed open the door and saw the stubborn third brother.

"Professor Wang, you've arrived! Please have a seat!"

The principal, who was sitting in the office, hurriedly stood up and went to greet Wang Duoyu with a fawning and ingratiating smile on his face.

In fact, Wang Duoyu hoped that his child would live under an assumed name, at least to hide his identity as the father.

But after much deliberation, I decided against it and decided to continue as usual.

Anyway, the management of Harbin Institute of Technology Affiliated Primary School is strict, so there are usually no accidents.

However, situations like the one we are in now are unavoidable.

"Principal, thank you for your help."

Wang Duoyu exchanged a few polite words with the other party, then turned to look at the third brother, Wang Junkang, his face darkening.

"Wang Junkang, why did you get into a fight? Didn't I tell you that you can't fight with your classmates at school? How could you ignore me?"

"Dad, they say my mom is an old sow, she keeps having babies."

The third brother pointed angrily at the two classmates and said, "Wang Duoyu's vision went black, and he said in a deep voice:"
"So you started the fight by hitting me first?"

"I didn't! They hit me first!" Wang Junkang wasn't stupid; on the contrary, he was quite clever.

He usually hears a lot of those grand principles at home.

It wasn't just Wang Duoyu spouting those grand principles; his older brother also said so, and he took it to heart.

Fighting isn't scary, but whoever strikes first will suffer.

Just then, the parents of the other two children arrived.

The two parents didn't know what was going on, as they didn't recognize Wang Duoyu.

They only saw their child beaten black and blue by Wang Junkang, and immediately shouted angrily at Wang Duoyu:
"You're the child's parent, right? Is this how you raise your child? Look what he did to my child! Let me tell you, I won't let this go."

Another parent shielded their child behind them and shouted loudly at Wang Duoyu as well:
"Very well, very well, just as expected of a refined scoundrel. Like father, like son."

Wang Duoyu didn't rush to respond, but instead watched calmly.

He wasn't in a hurry, but the two parents were very anxious. They even thought Wang Duoyu was easy to bully, so they became even more arrogant and their words became increasingly harsh.

On the contrary, the principal and teachers standing to the side were furious, their faces turning ashen. The principal stepped forward to stop them, saying:

"Both parents, please be quiet. We called you here to resolve the issue, not to escalate the conflict."

"Quiet down and listen to me. This is Wang Junkang's father, Wang Duoyu, a professor at the School of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology."

"This whole thing started because your children in both families instigated the disturbance and started the physical altercation. So no matter what, you're both at fault. You not only need to apologize, but you also need to write a guarantee."

Upon hearing this, the two parents immediately erupted in anger.

Why should their children, who were beaten so badly, have to apologize, pay for Wang Junkang's medical expenses, and even sign some kind of guarantee?

"Just because he's a professor doesn't make him any special. I'm a factory manager, am I arrogant?"

"Yeah, so what if he's a professor at Harbin Institute of Technology? He acts like he's something special. He's just a lousy teacher. I donate more than five million yuan to Harbin every year. Isn't my contribution significant?"

One of them is a leader of a state-owned enterprise, and the other is a relatively well-known private boss in Harbin, who is also a wealthy man.

China's reform and opening up has now entered its fifteenth year.

Harbin, as the most economically developed city in China, is home to the largest number of domestic enterprises.

The influx of numerous domestic and international companies has made private enterprises in Harbin particularly prosperous.

This is very different from the original timeline.

In the original timeline, during this period in Ice City, many state-owned enterprises had gone bankrupt due to poor management, resulting in a large number of workers being laid off or even leaving Ice City.

In fact, it's not just Harbin; the whole of Northeast China is like this.

Because the reform and opening up started in the south, it was a fire that burned the brightest in the south before sweeping across the whole country.

However, in this time and space, although there were also many poorly managed state-owned enterprises in Northeast China, the number of workers being laid off was not very high.

Furthermore, due to the Want Want Group, many working-class people in Harbin are not so resistant to private enterprises.

After all, once workers lose their "iron rice bowl" (guaranteed job), they not only lose the benefits of housing provided by state-owned enterprises, but also lose a long-term "meal ticket" (guaranteed job security).

Private companies can dismiss employees at will, which is completely different from the "iron rice bowl" of state-owned enterprises.

The emergence of numerous private enterprises in Harbin has naturally created a large number of wealthy individuals.

Harbin Institute of Technology Affiliated Primary School is currently the top primary school in Harbin, and even in the whole country, without exception.

The children who are able to attend this school all come from families with impressive backgrounds.

There are many top 'child prodigies' from ordinary families in the vicinity, who are admitted to the school only after passing an assessment.

Some of the children's parents are either top billionaires who have donated more than ten million yuan to Harbin, or special families who have made significant contributions to society.

There are also faculty and staff groups at Harbin Institute of Technology, etc.

This is the student composition of the Harbin Institute of Technology Affiliated Primary School; it's not very complicated.

However, all students need to take an assessment before entering Harbin Institute of Technology, but the assessment standards are different for different student groups.

For example, the standards for "child prodigies" from ordinary families are extremely high.

All students at the Harbin Institute of Technology Affiliated Primary School attend school for free and do not need to pay any fees.

Students do not need to pay for school uniforms, books, lunch, and other expenses.

The primary school affiliated with Harbin Institute of Technology is funded by donations from Harbin Institute of Technology and Want Want Group, as well as some social donations.

Of course, the source of all these funds is transparent, and the tax bureau can clearly see it.

That's why that wealthy parent was so arrogant.

Upon hearing this, the principal became even more anxious:
"Can you all shut up? I already said, this is Professor Wang, and he's not just a professor at the School of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology."

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Duoyu interrupted the principal.

“Principal, it seems they don’t appreciate our efforts. Our Harbin Institute of Technology Affiliated Primary School doesn’t need students like this. Like father, like son. I think they are unwilling to repent. In that case, please leave our school.”

"Anyway, we're all just lousy teachers, and we don't need such a black sheep to stay in the school."

Upon hearing this, the principal turned pale, knowing that there was no point in saying anything more.

On the contrary, the wealthy parents and the factory manager of the state-owned enterprise immediately objected.

"You're just a professor, what right do you have to expel my child? I'm calling the police right now, and I'll have Director Hao judge this for me."

"Hmph, as expected of a teacher, you're quite the smooth talker. But this is the Harbin Institute of Technology Affiliated Primary School. Do you think this school is your private property? You think you can just expel whoever you want?"

The two took turns, constantly making sarcastic remarks.

At this point, the principal was at a loss for words.

Wang Duoyu is a well-known scholar in Bingcheng. How come these two parents seem to be blind?

It's not really the fault of these two parents, because Wang Duoyu has rarely appeared in newspapers or on television in recent years.

He's not a celebrity, so he doesn't need to appear on camera every day, which is why it's normal that he's not recognized.

One is a wealthy parent, and the other is a factory director of a state-owned enterprise; neither of them has any contact with 'stinky schoolteacher' like Wang Duoyu.

Since they have little to do with academia, it would be too much to ask them to get to know Wang Duoyu.

Perhaps they had heard of Wang Duoyu's name on television or in newspapers several years ago.

But it's just a name; I forgot it in the blink of an eye.

The call was quickly connected, and Director Hao promised the wealthy family's parents that he would come over immediately, as he was nearby.

In less than fifteen minutes, Director Hao appeared in the office.

After the other person walked in, they immediately saw the principal, and then they saw Wang Duoyu, and were immediately taken aback.

He quickly and respectfully extended his hands:
"Professor Wang, it's such an honor to meet you here."

Wang Duoyu didn't know the other person, so he didn't shake hands with him.

"you are?"

Director Hao was immediately embarrassed: "Professor Wang, it's normal that you don't recognize me. I've seen you a few times before, near the Municipal Party Committee building."

"Oh!"

Forehead! ! !
Seeing Wang Duoyu's indifferent reaction, Director Hao felt resentful, but dared not show it in the slightest, because Wang Duoyu's power was too great, so great that he didn't even have the thought of resisting.

However, he remembered that Wang Duoyu was not that kind of person, so it seemed that he had done something to cause Wang Duoyu to dislike him so much.

He then looked at the wealthy parents and the state-owned enterprise factory director, and then at Wang Junkang and the other children, as if he understood something.

At this moment, the wealthy parent and the state-owned enterprise factory director were both dumbfounded.

They couldn't understand why Director Hao of the Municipal Bureau was so humble, ignored by Wang Duoyu, and still had to put on a smiling face.

He's just a professor, isn't he?

As for?
"Director Hao, it's good that you've arrived." The wealthy parent hurriedly stepped forward and then briefly recounted the events, embellishing the story.

Then, pointing at Wang Duoyu and his son, he said:
"Director Hao, you see, it's clearly his son's fault, but the principal is biased towards them, and this Professor Wang even shamelessly demanded that our child be expelled."

As the wealthy parents spoke, they noticed Director Hao's gloomy expression and were secretly delighted.

The next second, Director Hao suddenly said in a cold voice:

"I can't help you with this. Professor Wang said he wants to expel your child, so it's definitely your problem. Instead of reflecting on your own actions, you've called me here to seek justice for you?"

"I think Professor Wang did the right thing; a black sheep like your child should be kicked out."

If Director Hao had to choose between Wang Duoyu and the wealthy parents, even if it were a blind choice, he should choose the former.

Because of the vast difference in their status, there is absolutely no comparison between them.

"Director Hao, aren't you saying the wrong thing? My child was the one who was beaten. Look at the bruises on his face, and all these injuries; he's swollen."

The wealthy parent said with an incredulous expression.

Just now, the health clinic on the school campus sent a sanitation worker to examine Wang Junkang and the other two children and apply medicine to their wounds.

But by now, the children's injuries had swelled up.

It does look a bit scary.

Wang Junkang used a lot of force, so he was naturally ruthless when he beat people.

He was born prematurely and had previously suffered from cancer, so he is still taking medication.

However, like his two older brothers, he trained with their father from a young age and also practiced martial arts with Yuan Zuliang and others.

Although I haven't trained very well, it still hurts a lot when I hit someone.

Director Hao said:

"I know, and I saw it too, but I have more faith that Professor Wang and the principal wouldn't wrong you."

Wang Duoyu interrupted:

"Hehe, I'm not the kind of person who bullies others by virtue of my power. Principal, I remember the school has CCTV footage, right? Let's pull it up and see what happened. It'll be clear who started the insults and who started the fight!"

"Okay, no problem!" The principal immediately arranged for someone to bring over the surveillance footage.

Director Hao quickly added:
"Professor Wang truly deserves to be a role model for us all."

Seeing Director Hao's blatant flattery of Wang Duoyu, both the wealthy patriarch and the state-owned enterprise factory director felt a chill in their hearts; this matter was likely far from over.

Shortly afterward, the surveillance footage was delivered by security personnel, and everyone was able to see the details clearly.

It was indeed the two children from the wealthy family and the factory manager's family who started the disturbance. After being rebuked and scolded by Wang Junkang, the two children, who were not as good at verbal communication as Wang Junkang, became enraged and started fighting.

Since they were going to fight, Wang Junkang certainly wouldn't just stand there and let them beat him, so a swift counterattack followed.

The incident was not complicated, and the date and time were displayed on the surveillance video, so there was no way to fake it.

After reading it, Director Hao said in a deep voice:
“Both parents, you have seen clearly that the problem lies with your children. You cannot blame Professor Wang.”

"So your children are the black sheep and should be expelled. I remember the Harbin Institute of Technology Affiliated Primary School has a very good academic atmosphere; this shouldn't have happened. So the problem must lie with you parents."

The academic atmosphere of the Harbin Institute of Technology Affiliated Primary School is entirely based on that of Harbin Institute of Technology.

Students at the neighboring Harbin Institute of Technology, all undergraduate students are the same; during regular class time, they have to do morning exercises every Monday to Friday, which is a semi-military management system.

It's extremely strict.

Upon hearing that they were going to be expelled, the two children immediately burst into tears.

The wealthy parent and the state-owned enterprise factory director were both deathly pale.

Director Hao is no ordinary person; if even he says so, then they've really messed up today.

After the two realized what was happening, the wealthy parent, being easygoing, figured there were plenty of other options and left with his child.

But the factory director of the state-owned enterprise didn't dare.

Because he wasn't as wealthy as the previous tycoon, who could easily get his child back into Harbin Institute of Technology Affiliated Primary School or other top schools. Wang Duoyu was too lazy to bother with the state-owned enterprise factory director who wanted to apologize to him, and turned to leave with Wang Junkang.

Throughout the entire process, he didn't seem inclined to speak to Director Hao.

As soon as Wang Duoyu left, the state-owned enterprise factory director caught up with Director Hao and pressed him for an answer:
"Director Hao, I wonder if you could help me?"

"No, I can't help your child. If you want to plead for your child to continue attending the affiliated primary school, you should go to Professor Wang. He's the one whose words carry weight."

"Huh? Professor Wang is just an ordinary professor, isn't he?"

There must be at least five, if not ten, professors with the surname Wang on the Harbin Institute of Technology campus, right?
This is because Wang is the most common surname in the country, and the faculty and staff of Harbin Institute of Technology are no longer the small team they were 15 years ago.

Nowadays, even the professorship has more than a thousand people.

Upon hearing this, Director Hao sneered:

"Director Fu, you really have no eyes to recognize a great man! You don't even know Professor Wang Duoyu? You deserve your bad luck today!"

After saying that, Director Hao ignored the other party and turned to leave.

Factory Director Fu was struck dumb, but he still couldn't remember who Wang Duoyu was.

Several hours later, he finally found out that Wang Duoyu was actually a famous academician and the number one in the domestic scientific community. He completely collapsed on the sofa and didn't say a word.

At this moment, his child came out of the room crying and made a scene in front of Director Fu, demanding to go back to school.

This immediately stirred up Director Fu's paternal instincts, and he raised his large hand and gave his son's buttocks a good thrashing.

"I'll teach you to fight, and then I'll teach you to behave badly."

"Waaah, Daddy, stop hitting me! Mommy, come quick! Daddy's going to kill me!"

Chaos erupted at Director Fu's house.

Meanwhile, at the wealthy Lin Qingchun's home, he was also pulling strings to ensure that his child would not be expelled from the Harbin Institute of Technology Affiliated Primary School.

After a long and arduous day, I finally managed to find Jin Lirong, the director of the Party Secretary's Office at Harbin Institute of Technology.

In a luxurious private room at a five-star hotel in downtown Harbin, Lin Qingchun stood respectfully at the door, waiting for half an hour before Jin Lirong and the middleman Zhao Zhicheng finally arrived.

"Director Jin, you must be tired from your journey."

Lin Qingchun obsequiously ushered Jin Lirong into the private room. After the latter went inside, he approached Zhao Zhicheng and whispered something:
"Thanks, Lao Zhao."

"Why are you being so polite? We're like brothers, no need for formalities, I understand."

The three of them sat down to eat and drink, but did not immediately get down to business; instead, they chatted casually.

Only after several rounds of drinks and several dishes had been served did Jin Lirong finally speak:

"Mr. Lin, now that we've eaten and drunk, what's the matter?"

It wasn't that Jin Lirong lacked shrewdness, but rather that he had absolutely no reason to take the other party seriously.

Today's Harbin Institute of Technology is like a scorpion taking a dump, unique in the whole country.

All of the companies affiliated with Harbin Institute of Technology are multinational giants; none of them are small businesses.

As a result, even he, the director of the secretary's office, saw his status rise significantly.

Although Lin Qingchun is also very capable, his net worth in Harbin is not bad either, with assets exceeding 100 million yuan.

Ultimately, he's just the chairman of a private company, at most he has some cooperative relationship with companies affiliated with Harbin Institute of Technology, there's nothing particularly noteworthy about him.

"Director Jin, it's like this, my child..." Lin Qingchun was overjoyed and quickly explained the situation briefly before continuing:

"Director Jin, do you know Professor Wang Duoyu?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Lirong's previously calm expression instantly turned extremely serious, and he said in a deep voice:
"Of course I know Professor Wang. Did you offend him?"

Lin Qingchun's face turned pale, and Jin Lirong instantly understood:

"Hmph, so it seems your son got into a fight with Professor Wang's son, right? I bet your son definitely didn't win."

"You still want me to mediate for you? Haha, sorry, I can't do that. I'll pay for today's meal, consider it my treat. That's it, don't contact me again."

Outsiders may not know Wang Duoyu's personality, but doesn't Jin Lirong know it well?

Moreover, Wang Duoyu is not only fiercely protective of his own, but his abilities and status are also top-notch. If Lin Qingchun provokes him, it's like an ant trying to shake a tree—overestimating his own strength.

Seeing that Jin Lirong was about to leave the private room, Lin Qingchun panicked, and Zhao Zhicheng also hurriedly stood up to persuade him.

However, Jin Lirong shook his head and said:
"You don't need to stop me. I really can't help you with this. You, Boss Lin, are very rich. Maybe you can escape from the Want Want Group's pursuit."

"But if Professor Wang really has the heart to take drastic measures against your family, there will be no place for you to live in China. Perhaps you will have a glimmer of hope if you go to China."

"That's all I have to say. Leave it at that."

After saying that, Jin Lirong stopped Lin Qingchun and the other man from stopping him and left the private room immediately.

At this moment, Lin Qingchun was completely dumbfounded.

"Old Zhao, you heard it too, Director Jin said that Want Want Group is Professor Wang's business?"

Zhao Zhicheng shook his head and said:

"I don't know about this either, but I can try to find out for you, sigh."

Now, you're really on your own!
Half an hour later, the two had figured out what Wang Duoyu's true identity was.

The Wang family is one of the wealthiest families in Harbin, and even in the whole country.

Furthermore, the Wang family's current enormous wealth is also due to Wang Duoyu.

It is said that Wang Duoyu's nephew, Wang Jianchao, has a net worth of over 2 billion RMB.

A personal fortune of 2 billion yuan in 1993 was absolutely outrageous.

If Wang Jianchao is already this amazing, then Wang Duoyu is even more so.

What can Lin Qingchun use to fight against Wang Duoyu?
The next day, Lin Qingchun bought a lot of valuable items and went to the gate of Harbin Institute of Technology, hoping to meet Wang Duoyu.

The issue is no longer about his son being expelled from the Harbin Institute of Technology Affiliated Primary School, but rather that Wang Duoyu might bankrupt his business.

With Wang Duoyu's power, it would be as simple as saying a word to wipe out Lin Qingchun's company.

Therefore, Lin Qingchun was terrified and had no choice but to admit defeat.

The security department quickly relayed the matter to Yuan Zuliang. Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu shook his head and said:
"Let him go. Just warn him to be more low-key in the future and do more good deeds."

Wang Duoyu didn't want to bother with people like Lin Qingchun, because it was too much of a waste of his time.

If Wang Junkang hadn't assaulted someone yesterday, he wouldn't have stayed in the affiliated primary school's teachers' office for half an hour.

This is simply a waste of his life.

After he came back yesterday, he lectured the third son, telling him to be low-key and ruthless in fights, but not to kill anyone.

For example, a groin kick can easily cause injury if it hits a vulnerable spot on the back of the head or the eyeballs.

Especially for young children, if they are really strong, they could actually die.

Because he had suffered from cancer, Wang Junkang was more eager and passionate about his health than his older brothers and sister.

Therefore, he was very serious when practicing martial arts and could endure what ordinary people could not.

In Wang Duoyu's mind, the fight involving the third brother was just a minor matter that would soon pass.

The philosophy he instilled in his children was to be humble.

If no one offends me, I will not offend anyone. If someone offends me, I will repay him tenfold!
Anyway, since the third brother didn't suffer any losses this time, Wang Duoyu naturally wouldn't hold it against Lin Qingchun and the others.

However, he also paid more attention to the physical and mental health of his three children, as well as their situation at school.

Hidab, Somali Peninsula.

Zheng Baoyin, Wang Jianchao, Yabo Fein, Martinez and others have been here for more than a week.

They are all very much looking forward to the changes here.

"I wonder when Uncle Nine will be able to come and visit. Sigh, he hasn't been abroad for ten years."

Wang Jianchao was filled with emotion.

He always felt that his ninth uncle's arrangement for them to establish the Hidab project in the Somali peninsula was intentional.

As everyone knows, the Somali Peninsula is a desolate place, and nobody pays attention to it, let alone invests there.

Unfortunately, his ninth uncle set his sights on this place and even launched a desert greening project.

If this desert greening project were so easy to do, how could the whole world remain indifferent?
Deserts cover a large area of ​​the Earth, approximately 3140 million square kilometers, which is equivalent to 21% of the total land area of ​​the world.

The Sahara Desert covers 932 million square kilometers, the Arabian Desert covers 233 million square kilometers, the Libyan Desert covers 169 million square kilometers, and there are also the Australian Desert, the Rub' al Khali Desert, the Kalahari Desert, the Great Sandy Desert, the Taklamakan Desert, and so on.

The desert on the Somali peninsula alone covers 200,000 square kilometers, which is quite large.

It's worth noting that the Taklamakan Desert covers an area of ​​330,000 square kilometers, while my country's Henan Province only covers an area of ​​210,000 square kilometers.

Most importantly, the Somali Peninsula covers an area of ​​over 630,000 square kilometers, but has a total population of less than seven million.

Vast land and sparse population are not enough to describe the situation in this place.

Therefore, in Hideb, located in the central desert, there are indeed no people to be seen within a radius of tens or hundreds of kilometers.

"You mean after this airport is completed, my uncle might come here to take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Baoyin couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"You think it's impossible?" Wang Jianchao shook his head.
"The Hideb project right before us has already exceeded one billion US dollars in total investment. When have you ever seen Uncle Nine so anxious about a project? And why does he keep sending us here so often?"

"I'm afraid Uncle Nine has many ideas about this place."

Developing the Somali peninsula is not a simple matter.

However, it just so happens that the Somali peninsula is currently in a state of anarchy, so if Want Want Group wants to come here, it can come here, and no one dares to object.

If the Somali peninsula can truly develop in the future and transform from a desert into an oasis city, it might actually be able to make some waves.

The desert greening project proposed by Wang Duoyu has already invested more than one billion US dollars, many of which involve power plants, seawater desalination plants, pig farms and other projects.

To be honest, Wang Jianchao and his team didn't understand why they had come to Somalia to raise pigs.

Perhaps they will understand in a few years.

Because raising pigs in the desert has many advantages.

For example, loosening the soil, replenishing nutrients, and promoting vegetation recovery.

Moreover, once the solar power plant is completed, vegetables and fruits can be grown under the solar panels without worrying that the solar panels will cause the fruits and vegetables on the ground to die due to lack of sunlight.

There is no need to worry about a lack of water resources for irrigation.

It can be said that Wang Duoyu had already thought it through, integrating solar power plants, seawater desalination plants, pig farms, tree planting teams, and so on, to form a complete ecosystem chain.

In such an ecosystem, desert greening will no longer be a problem, it's just a long wait.

However, Wang Duoyu did not think there would be any problem. Anyway, Somalia is a chaotic area, and no matter who comes, it won't make a difference.

Of course, Wang Duoyu's real purpose was not to occupy this place, but to build a research institution here, and a secret one at that.

Anyway, the outside world won't pay attention to this place, and the warlords like Aidid, Mahdi, and Gambella will continue to fight each other.

As long as Want Want Group keeps a low profile, no one will notice what's going on here.

On the other hand, Somalia is located in the equatorial region, which is actually the most suitable place to build a rocket launch base.

The numerous benefits drew Wang Duoyu's attention to this place.

"maybe!"

Zheng Baoyin said helplessly:

"This place is the dead end of the world. In my opinion, there's absolutely nothing good about it. I really don't know why my uncle chose this place."

"When I go back to China for a meeting next month, I'll ask my uncle to see what's going on."

It's almost 1994.

The annual summary meeting is approaching, and Zheng Baoyin and other senior executives will definitely have to return to China for the meeting.

Just then, Wang Jianchao's phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and his face lit up with joy:
"Hey, Uncle Jiu, Bao Yin and I were just talking about you when you called us."

Zheng Baoyin was taken aback, then immediately brought his ear closer.

"Jianchao, you're still in the Somali peninsula, right?"

"Yes, Uncle Jiu, what do you want to ask? I'll report to you right away."

"Okay, let me ask you, will the runway at Hidab Airport be completed by next March?"

what?
The normal construction time for a standard airport runway is about one to three years.

For example, the third runway of Tianhe Airport in the original timeline took a full year and a half from the start of construction to its commissioning, due to its large-scale construction and 24-hour operation mode.

That was during China's era of infrastructure development frenzy, and of course, that airport runway was also quite impressive, allowing for larger aircraft to be parked there.

The runway at this airport on the Somali Peninsula is definitely not up to the standard of Tianhe Airport's third runway.

However, Hidab is located in the central desert region of the Somali peninsula, and the construction of the foundation alone would take more than half a year.

Even so, it was only because Want Want Group invested regardless of cost that it was possible to complete the task so quickly.

But judging from his ninth uncle's tone, Wang Jianchao now felt that he wanted to finish quickly.

This is how to do?
"Uncle Jiu, it might not be possible to finish so quickly. We're already working overtime, and the environment here in Hideb is quite harsh. If we speed up the project, it will probably consume even more resources, which would be counterproductive."

Wang Duoyu, on the other end of the phone, frowned slightly and then said:

"Alright then, proceed with construction according to the current schedule, but the standards cannot be lowered."

"At next week's meeting, all of you senior executives need to come up with a plan to arrange for people to take turns being stationed in Hidab to ensure the smooth progress of this project."

"At the same time, you must also arrange for people to keep a close eye on Aidid, Mahdi, Gambella, and the others. We absolutely cannot allow them to have any chance of becoming too powerful. Maintaining the status quo is good enough. We cannot let other international forces notice the changes in the situation on the Somali Peninsula. Do you understand?"

If Wang Duoyu intends to establish his power base on the Somali peninsula, then the warlords in the coastal port cities of Mogadishu and Berbera will have to continue to live in chaos.

If they don't cause chaos, the Want Want Group's arms business can't continue.

Even if they planted dates, it was for the sake of increasing their income and providing them with more protection.

You stole my date palm grove today, I'll take it back tomorrow.

Anyway, the hatred between these warlords is something they can keep going on, even if they fight to the death, it's all within their own ranks.

Moreover, they are inherently unambitious, unlike the vast land of China, where once divided, every region would inevitably vie for supremacy over the Central Plains.

Although Wang Duoyu was not too worried that these warlords would unify the entire Somali peninsula.

However, when it's time to take precautions, we must take them.

"Yes, Uncle Jiu, don't worry, I will definitely keep a close eye on everything."

Wang Jianchao said with a serious expression.

"Alright, I won't waste any more words with you guys. Keep a close eye on things, and if anything goes wrong, I'll definitely beat you up!"

"Don't worry, Uncle Jiu, we definitely won't give you a chance to beat us up."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Jianchao told Zheng Baoyin about the matter with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the latter's expression was somewhat speechless.

"Does Uncle not believe in our abilities?"

“I don’t think so. I’m worried that we’re not paying enough attention.”

Wang Jianchao's smile gradually faded, and he said:

"With the Hideb project underway, desert greening will definitely take hold gradually. At that time, our satellites will probably be able to see it clearly."

"Furthermore, Uncle Nine plans to build a satellite launch base here in the future, so we'll need to pay attention to the reactions from all sides then."

"So, if we want to settle down here and make a name for ourselves, it's not an easy thing. There are just too many things to consider."

Zheng Baoyin was also puzzled upon hearing this:
"Although the Somali peninsula is currently in a state of anarchy, wouldn't you say our actions constitute usurping someone else's territory? Uncle, how do you plan to resolve this issue?"

"Who knows?" Wang Jianchao shook his head and sighed.

"Uncle Jiu has a lot to do. Maple Leaf Holdings already has a large number of laboratories, many of which use cutting-edge technology."

"It's probably not easy to handle, so we'll have to relocate some of the labs to the Somali peninsula. Only then can we control them more easily."

"However, these are not things we should worry about. I believe Uncle Nine has already figured out a solution."

Zheng Baoyin and Wang Jianchao pondered for a long time but couldn't come up with a good solution, so they had to put it aside.

Just then, Martinez came in from outside, bringing back bad news. (End of Chapter)
