Chapter 438 Big Trouble, Proof Completed
April 5, 1994, Qingming Festival.
In Dahonggou Village, Shuanghe County, northern China, lies the burial site of Wang Duoyu's parents.
The descendants of the Wang family, who had returned from all over the world, all gathered together—yes, I mean the surviving descendants.
Wang Shoucheng passed away two years ago, so naturally he couldn't be present.
Crackling!
Fireworks and firecrackers resounded all around, and smoke rose, adding a unique touch to this cloudy Qingming Festival.
"Wow"
The youngest child, Wang Chuyue, cried loudly even while wearing noise-canceling headphones because she saw the firecrackers being set off.
It scared her.
"Don't cry, little tofu!"
The eldest brother, Wang Junhong, held his younger sister and whispered soothing words to her.
After a while, the firecrackers were finished, and the little guy stopped crying.
"Time to eat."
Wang Yifei cheered loudly, and the other children also shouted and rushed towards the fragrant offerings.
Every year during the Qingming Festival, children have to follow adults for a long distance to pay respects to their ancestors.
This is a festival, and also a tradition.
The little ones were tired from walking and had expended a lot of energy, so they couldn't wait to eat when they saw food.
Although Wang Yifei and the other children usually have plenty to eat.
However, Wang Duoyu will still keep an eye on the kids and prevent them from eating too much and becoming fat.
Of all the relatives in Old Wang's family, 12 percent have become obese, and quite a few of the children have become obese as well.
Among the families of Zheng Baoyin, Wang Jianchao, Wang Meili, Wang Meihe, and Wang Meifeng, who were close to Wang Duoyu, there was no Fatty.
Eating too well can cause concerns about high blood pressure or various diseases.
In life, we still need to learn to restrain ourselves and know when to stop, because too much of anything is as bad as too little.
The Qingming Festival quietly passed amidst the lively cheers of Wang Yifei and her friends.
On the continent across the Pacific Ocean, in the heart of New York City, in a high-rise building near Central Park.
Two FBI agents are using binoculars to monitor the actions of Matteo, the owner of the French castle.
"Fuck, these people who print super-sized US dollars are really going too far. Who are they? Why haven't we caught them yet?"
A young detective frowned and sighed in confusion.
Another detective with a beard patted the other man on the shoulder, then looked through his binoculars at Matteo inside the villa and whispered:
“If they were so easy for us to catch, we wouldn’t need to be here.”
Several years have passed since the Super Dollar Factory incident.
It seems that super-dollars are now everywhere in the world, and you can find super-dollars in any random transaction.
Matteo, the owner of the French castle, made a deal with an American antique dealer a few months ago and received a large sum of US dollars in cash.
More than $600 million in cash is stored in the vault of Société Générale in Paris, France.
Interestingly, the Industrial Bank at the time failed to detect that these US dollars were counterfeit.
It wasn't until recently, when Matteo decided to immigrate to the United States, that he transferred all of the funds into Citibank.
Even so, Citibank's French branch failed to detect it.
why?
They believe the money was transferred from the vault of Société Générale, and that it had been counted by Société Générale and other parties at the time of the transaction.
Therefore, Citibank did not see anything strange about it.
Citibank employees didn't scrutinize the application carefully and completely forgot about the Super Dollar.
After all, super-US dollars are generally traded in other places such as South America and Africa. Although they also exist in Europe, they are basically not stored inside banks.
The reason is simple: most people who need cash transactions are those who walk at night in the gray area.
It's more convenient for them to hold cash.
It wasn't until Citibank shipped a portion of the massive sum of US dollars to New York that it was discovered in New York.
That's several hundred million dollars, all in super-large US dollars. Citibank had no choice but to accept it.
Or to be more precise, the Federal Reserve reluctantly accepted it.
So many massive amounts of US dollars appear in the market every year, and so far, the Federal Reserve has not been able to deal with them.
Therefore, the super-sized US dollar also circulates in the market and can be detected by banknote detectors.
That's a truly devilish existence!
If the Federal Reserve wants to solve this problem, it must find the location of the super dollar factory.
Otherwise, it will be of no use.
As for issuing new US dollar bills and designing more anti-counterfeiting measures, these are merely stopgap measures, not fundamental solutions.
After all, the super dollar factory has talent, and they can also copy the new version of the dollar.
The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light; this is really a difficult situation.
What can be done then?
Cold stir-fried eggs!
The pressure has been on the FBI and CIA, but unfortunately they have yet to find the true location of the super-dollar factory.
“Matto has been perfectly normal ever since he came to the United States. What’s the point of us sticking around him?”
The young detective asked again, and the bearded detective remained silent for a long time before finally saying:
"Who knows what the higher-ups are thinking? Maybe they think that Krubi will come looking for Matteo again? After all, doesn't he still have several national treasures and antiques from a major Far Eastern country?"
Matteo received over $500 million in cash in a deal a few months ago.
Since he had no shortage of cash, he didn't sell any more of the antiques.
"Even so, it's not Krubi, it's other Chinese buyers. After all, Chinese people are more interested in the artifacts of their ancestors."
"No, no, no, the Chinese are very clever. They definitely won't come out themselves. Instead, they'll arrange for other white people to assist them in making the purchase, because that way they can avoid being ripped off."
"I didn't know you were so knowledgeable about the antique trade."
The two were chatting when they heard Matteo receive a phone call.
The intercepted phone conversations revealed that someone had contacted him to buy antiques.
"check!"
Unfortunately, Matteo had no intention of selling the antiques and refused the offer.
Even so, the FBI will continue to investigate along this line.
After some investigation, they indeed found a wealthy Chinese man in Los Angeles.
FBI agent Brian Ward suddenly felt a surge of greed, as he wanted to get some money to subsidize the agency.
Last year, the intelligence agency made a lot of money by raiding a Gulf Cartel vault in Mexico and bringing back several hundred million dollars.
On the contrary, their investigation bureau got nothing.
This wealthy Chinese man may be connected to a super-large US dollar factory, although it's not necessarily true.
But if there is any doubt, then it's better to kill the innocent than to imitate the guilty.
"No, you can't touch him!"
At the California precinct, Jack Wayne rejected Brian Ward's proposal.
“Brian, you need to know that this Chinese man is very well-known in California. If you make a move against him now, well, I'll be the one cleaning up the mess. That's definitely not going to do!”
"I'll give you thirty percent, is that okay?"
In America, only interests matter, not feelings.
Faced with Brian Ward's proposal, Jack Wayne made an outrageous demand:
"I want 80%!"
go to hell!
If we keep negotiating like this, there's no way to continue the discussion.
So Brian Ward didn't want to talk anymore, and the proposal was put on hold for the time being.
Just then, good news came from New York: the two agents monitoring Matteo said that Matteo was going to meet someone today.
This person is not Krube, but based on previous investigations in Paris, France, it is very likely that he is a Krube in disguise.
"Fuck, investigate, find out the truth for me!"
Anyone who has come into contact with Matteo must not be let off the hook.
The Federal Reserve is located in New York, and their people learned of the news immediately. They sent people to the meeting place and arrested Matteo and his companion on the spot in the name of the New York Police Department.
By the time the investigators arrived at the scene, the place was already deserted.
Fake!
In the interrogation room prepared by the Federal Reserve, Matteo and the wealthy man resembling Krugby were interrogated separately.
Unfortunately, neither of them were ordinary people; they couldn't speak and waited for their lawyer to arrive before speaking.
Even the Federal Reserve must follow the rules when dealing with wealthy individuals.
It's fine to extract a confession through torture, but if the wealthy person leaves, then it's a big problem.
At the Want Want Group's New York headquarters, Zheng Baoyin listened to his subordinate's report and broke out in a cold sweat.
"So you're saying your subordinate, Xiang Tongchun, actually went to someone to buy antiques privately? And then got arrested by the NYPD? And he still can't be released on bail?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Shengzhi nodded awkwardly.
His subordinate, Xiang Tongchun, was also a talented individual who enjoyed studying antiques.
He knows everything about the antique world in New York.
Matteo is a newcomer and not from the antiques world, but he owns several very fine and precious national treasures and antiques.
Xiang Tongchun didn't know how she learned about this, but she immediately took the initiative to contact the other party.
That's really bad; he got arrested.
"It seems Matteo has been targeted."
Zheng Baoyin's expression must be solemn.
Zheng Baoyin and other senior executives were basically aware of the deal between Krugby and Matteo.
Kruby was just a disguise; even his appearance and background were fake.
His true identity is nothing more than a 'salesperson' at the Exa Farm.
Even though he was just a salesman, Kruby's identity was extremely important, and he absolutely could not die.
But now, Matteo is being targeted by the FBI, who are even using him as bait to lure Crubby.
Then Kruby's identity would be in danger.
"Hmm!" Liang Shengzhi's expression was equally grave:
"No wonder the professor repeatedly emphasized the need for us to be vigilant. I never imagined the FBI would take this so seriously and even resort to these underhanded tactics. This is a huge problem!"
There is indeed a lot of trouble.
Let's start the meeting!
As for Xiang Tongchun, we can ignore him for now.
The very next day at the weekly meeting, Liang Shengzhi brought up the matter, and Wang Meili, Fuller Carson, and other senior executives were immediately taken aback.
This incident alone is enough to demonstrate just how much pressure the Federal Reserve is under.
Martinez suddenly said:
"How about we take a six-month break?"
If the super-dollar factory is given six months to rest, the danger may be over.
Zheng Baoyin was the first to object:
"That's absolutely not allowed. If you take a vacation, you might become complacent and even decline in your professional skills, so it's absolutely unacceptable!"
The technicians inside the Super Dollar Factory naturally don't have the concept of taking holidays.
However, when it comes to external 'sales,' if they let their guard down, they're not far from their doom.
Unless it's a mentorship program with experienced staff and a completely different group of people.
"I also believe that taking a break is only a temporary solution. The battle with the Federal Reserve will definitely continue, and we will not stop as long as our factories are still operating."
Fuller Carson said calmly:
"Our capital is already enormous, and now is the time to actively cultivate our own power."
"The Somali warlords that the professor mentioned before are, in my opinion, a very good example."
"We've been planning to move that strategic bomber from Moscow recently, haven't we? I think we can easily replicate it in the underground factory in Hideb."
"Over the past three years, our annual profits have exceeded $120 billion. We can make use of such a huge sum of money."
"They buy large quantities of minerals and rare earths from Australia, crude oil from neighboring Saudi Arabia, and grain from other places."
"Using food, crude oil, and minerals, we will transform Hideb into a Wakanda for our Want Want Group."
"With our current level of technology, achieving this goal may be difficult, but we can strive towards it."
Everyone was stunned when they heard that.
Aren't we talking about how to handle the potential leak of the super-large US dollar factory?
How did we suddenly start talking about Wakanda from Marvel Studios?
Good grief, that's Wakanda from science fiction comics, not reality.
Where in the real world can you find such a magical metal as vibranium?
Vibranium is one of the hardest metals in the Marvel Universe and also one of the most widely used metals.
Who wouldn't want such a metal?
The problem is that in the Marvel Universe, these things are all meteorites from outside Earth.
Don't even think about the real world.
"Let's forget about Wakanda, let's talk about something practical."
Lee Evra glanced at Fuller Carson, feeling that the latter seemed to be too immersed in the role. Did he really want to be Iron Man?
"I agree with General Manager Zheng's opinion. The Super Dollar Factory should indeed not take a break, but the sales staff must remain vigilant. At the same time, I also think we should re-select a batch of potential sales representatives."
"For now, Exa Farm is still very safe and will not be easily suspected."
"But as the professor said, 'He who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present.' We should be vigilant at all times, and we also need to prepare more alternative plans."
"This incident also reminds us that while large transactions in the antique, arms, and gold markets are indeed less likely to go wrong, we should also focus on smaller transactions."
"While small transactions may be slower, it's impossible for all the agents from the FBI and CIA combined to keep such a close watch, right?"
“There are large amounts of cash transactions in the dark world of South America, Africa, and Europe, and we can certainly get involved.”
After Lee Evra offered his advice, O'Brien, Allen Costa, Zhou Yichen, and others also shared their opinions.
Three cobblers are like Zhuge Liang.
After some discussion, the group did find quite a few directions.
However, it will take considerable effort to completely render the intelligence and investigation bureaus like headless flies, unable to find any trace of the massive amounts of US dollars.
After talking for more than two hours, the group finally came up with a set of effective solutions.
That's the end of this matter.
Wang Duoyu didn't appear at all throughout the entire process, as if he wasn't eavesdropping.
In fact, Wang Duoyu has been very busy lately.
He had already decided to go on a trip with Liu Xiaoli and the others during the May Day holiday, so he had been busy with work since the beginning of the year.
"Phew, finally done!"
Inside the study of the villa, Wang Duoyu looked at the manuscript paper in front of him with great excitement.
More than a year later, Yang Mills finally proved the existence and quality gap problem.
However, he hasn't finished organizing his paper yet.
Last year, I said I would publish my first paper, which I had already written, but that was put on hold.
At his age, he no longer needs to prove his status and strength by publishing papers.
So he put the plan on hold and did not release it.
Although proving the existence of Yang-Mills and the mass gap problem could enhance his standing in the physics community and even potentially earn him a Nobel Prize, he is in no hurry.
After all, given his current status, even if he won the Nobel Prize, it would only add to the honor of the award, and for him personally, it would just be icing on the cake.
Therefore, Wang Duoyu was not in a hurry.
"Go out and relax, I'll come back tomorrow to work on these drafts."
Wang Duoyu muttered to himself and then walked out of the study.
It has been almost twenty days since I returned from my hometown during the Qingming Festival.
During the weekends, he didn't leave the Harbin Institute of Technology campus; at most, he would take Liu Xiaoli and the others for walks on campus.
Even when Wang Yifei and the others went for a stroll in the school zoo, Wang Duoyu didn't accompany the children.
It's clear that he has been working very hard during this period.
"Dad, why did you get off work so early today?"
As soon as they came out, Wang Junkang and the other children, who were playing in the yard, immediately surrounded them in surprise.
This is indeed a very rare occurrence.
Keep in mind that it's only 5:15 now, and Wang Junkang and the other elementary school students have only just finished school.
Normally, their father wouldn't leave his study until at least 6:30, but he came out too early today.
"If I finish my work, I can leave early."
Wang Duoyu chuckled and patted the little guy's head. "Are you guys playing soccer? Can I join in?"
"Great!" The little ones couldn't have been happier if their dad had gotten involved.
So-called football is really just about passing the ball; there's no skill involved.
Their yard isn't small; once the space is spread out, it's still quite spacious.
Upon hearing the news, Liu Xiaoli, who was inside the house, also came out with white tofu.
Wang Chuyue, who had just turned six months old, was being held by her mother. She looked at her older brother, sister and father with her big eyes and babbled in baby talk.
After playing around for a while, Wang Duoyu hadn't even broken a sweat yet, but Wang Yifei and the others were already exhausted.
Simply because the little kids run around a lot and are particularly enthusiastic.
Moreover, they had already played around for quite a while before Wang Duoyu came out, so they were naturally quite tired now.
All the children in the family were equally energetic when they were young, since they often traveled around with their father.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the family sat in the dining room having dinner. Wang Duoyu watched the TV screen, paying attention to the news.
"Good evening, viewers. Today is Tuesday, April 26th, the 16th day of the third lunar month. Welcome to the 'News Broadcast' program. Today's main content includes..."
There was no special news today, but there was a report of a China Airlines Flight 140 crash at Nagoya Airport, which resulted in the deaths of 264 people.
It startled Liu Xiaoli, Wang Junkang, and Wang Yifei.
"In recent years, there have been more and more news reports of plane crashes, which has scared me so much that I'm afraid to fly anymore."
"Brother, you fly planes frequently, you absolutely must be careful."
"Duoyu, if we're going out next week, how about we take the train again?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu shook his head and chuckled.
Taking the train was definitely out of the question, because similar incidents had happened before, and he didn't want to experience it again.
Although there are quite a few news reports about plane crashes, as long as you are careful, there will be no problem.
The reason why Liu Xiaoli and others are seeing more and more news about plane crashes is because they are influenced by Wang Duoyu and frequently follow the news.
After reading a lot of news, one will naturally feel this way.
From a probabilistic point of view, the probability of a plane crash is extremely low; however, if a crash does occur, the chance of death is 100%.
Ten years ago, Wang Duoyu was able to make an emergency landing on the Songhua River, saving the passengers on the plane and his own life. It was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
He wasn't destined to die!
After chatting with Liu Xiaoli and the others for a while about common sense regarding aircraft safety, Wang Duoyu took the initiative to change the subject.
The National Football League Division A has begun; this is a competition organized by the Chinese Football Association.
However, the Harbin Football League is currently the top and most popular football competition in China, and its prize money alone is incomparable to that of the National Football League Division A.
These were all minor news items. Wang Duoyu chatted about them casually for a bit, and then stopped rambling.
The development of football in China is currently quite good, and there is still room for improvement.
I wonder if Chinese football in this timeline will still be brought down by those demons and monsters.
The next day arrived in the blink of an eye, and Wang Duoyu began to organize the drafts, planning to organize as much as he could in the next few days.
Labor Day is just around the corner, and he will keep his promise and take Liu Xiaoli on a trip.
Amidst his busy schedule, Wang Duoyu did not forget to remind Zheng Baoyin and his senior executives at the Want Want Group's weekly meeting to keep an eye on the national football team's situation.
In short, Want Want Group's companies should absolutely not sponsor the National Football League Division A.
Companies that sponsor this league should be considered competitors of the Want Want Group. If there's an opportunity, we must make things difficult for these companies.
Given the size of the Want Want Group, while it may not be able to bring down this league for the time being, it is absolutely impossible for them to recover.
Besides the minor issue of the Chinese national football team, Wang Duoyu also paid attention to the matter of the Super Dollar Factory.
To be honest, he didn't really want to continue running this super dollar factory.
However, Zheng Baoyin and his group did not support this; they preferred to continue operating the factory.
With profits of hundreds of billions or even trillions of US dollars every year, no one would easily give that up.
The fact that North Korea was able to develop nuclear weapons under such circumstances was largely due to the help of the super-US dollar.
Currently, Zheng Baoyin and his group of executives are planning to begin making moves in Xidebu.
It seems they are really moving towards the goal of establishing Wakanda.
Wang Duoyu is in control of the overall situation and will definitely not let it get out of control.
Don't assume that he doesn't have much time to deal with Want Want Group's affairs, or that he has never even gone abroad to inspect his businesses.
But that doesn't mean he knows nothing about these industries.
He has now begun developing artificial intelligence and plans to replace all of Want Want Group's technology products within the next five to ten years.
Then, he will only need to rely on artificial intelligence to effectively oversee the entire Want Want Group.
Before they knew it, it was Labor Day. Wang Duoyu led Liu Xiaoli and the others to their destination.
This time I'm going to Xiamen.
"Professor Wang, you've come to Xiamen without telling me? How about this, tonight's dinner is on me, at least let me show you some hospitality."
Qiu Xianzhang approached Wang Duoyu and said reproachfully.
He did not leave Xiamen, but stayed in Xiamen.
Nine years ago, due to the Plaza Accord, Qiu Xianzhang had the opportunity to meet Wang Duoyu.
Over the years since, the three financial companies—Xiamen Securities, BOC Xiamen Trust, and Xiamen Bank—have been able to develop into the financial giants they are today, thanks in no small part to Wang Duoyu's guidance.
Therefore, Qiu Xianzhang always wanted to repay the kindness, but he just didn't have the opportunity.
"Alright, then I'll trouble Comrade Qiu."
Wang Duoyu took a good look at the other person, then nodded with a smile.
Qiu Xianzhang is now the top official in Xiamen and is very busy.
Even though he was so busy, the other party was still willing to take the time to entertain him, so Wang Duoyu was naturally willing to give the other party this opportunity.
After having dinner that evening, and being quite full, Wang Duoyu learned from Qiu Xianzhang about the current state of Xiamen, its progress and its predicaments.
In the process of rapid economic development, imbalances inevitably arise.
Industry stagnated, and was overtaken by nearby Fuzhou and Quanzhou.
Although the tourism industry is showing great vitality, it is still too weak to become a pillar industry in the short term.
The hotel, catering and other service industries are doing alright.
The fastest growing sector is still import and export trade.
Since we established diplomatic relations with the United States in 1979, economic exchanges have gradually become more frequent since the 1980s.
Nowadays, the amount of goods produced in Xiamen and exported abroad is increasing year by year, which has also brought Xiamen a lot of foreign exchange income.
However, compared to Harbin, the gap is vast.
Wang Duoyu wanted to laugh because Qiu Xianzhang's words implied a comparison with Harbin.
Are the two cities comparable?
Although Xiamen is a coastal city with a very advantageous geographical location, it is indeed incomparable to Harbin.
However, Harbin was already a major heavy industrial base in China during the Republic of China era, and after the 1950s, it became the eldest son of the Republic.
How could Xiamen possibly compare to these?
Therefore, catching up with Harbin is difficult.
Even Shanghai, currently the second-largest city in China in terms of GDP, will find it difficult to catch up with Harbin in the short term.
Qiu Xianzhang hoped that Wang Duoyu could offer some guidance, but the latter did not accept the task, since his trip was just for fun.
He didn't come here to work.
If he were to work, he would likely be extremely busy.
Seeing that the other party refused, Qiu Xianzhang felt helpless, but did not press or coerce him further.
Over the next few days, Wang Duoyu took Liu Xiaoli and the children to wander around Xiamen.
Coastal cities have their own unique charm, especially since people here like to return to their hometowns to build grand houses after they have made a name for themselves, perfectly illustrating the saying, "Wealth and honor not returned home is like wearing fine clothes at night."
After spending several days in Xiamen, Wang Duoyu and his group finally headed to Guangzhou.
In early May, the weather in Guangzhou was already extremely hot.
"Wow, Dad, there are so many tall buildings here!"
Wang Junan stuck his head out of the car window and looked in surprise at the tall buildings not far away.
It's been a while since I last visited, and there are many more high-rise buildings in Guangzhou's central business district now.
Located at the southern gateway of China, Guangzhou's economic development can be described as rapid and ever-changing.
For three consecutive years, the entire GD province has been the province with the largest economy in the country.
Compared to the original timeline, although Harbin won the national championship in urban GDP, the economies of other cities in Heilongjiang Province were relatively weak.
In contrast, other cities such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Foshan, Zhuhai, and Zhongshan have experienced very rapid economic development.
In particular, Guangzhou, the provincial capital, has left Shenzhen, which was developing very rapidly in the past, far behind.
In the 1993 national city GDP rankings, Guangzhou had already reached third place, not far behind Shanghai, which was second.
BJ has been relegated to fourth place, which is a far cry from the prestige of being a capital city.
From the ice city in the north to Shanghai in the east, and then to Guangzhou in the south, it is truly unbelievable that Beijing, as the capital, has been surpassed even in terms of economy.
However, that is the truth.
"Yes, got it!"
Wang Duoyu nodded.
Many of the high-rise buildings in Guangzhou are office buildings constructed by the Want Want Group.
It's 1994 now, and Guangzhou's development will accelerate even further in the next ten years or so.
Whether Harbin can maintain its current rate of development is hard to say.
On the very evening that Wang Duoyu and his family returned to their villa on Ersha Island in the Pearl River, Yuan Youlan personally paid them a visit.
"Professor Wang, we've finally waited for you."
Yuan Youlan was overjoyed and brought many gifts.
Guangzhou is Wang Duoyu's second home, but he rarely comes here.
Furthermore, a few months ago, Want Want Group's annual meeting was not held in Guangzhou, but instead in Shanghai.
To be honest, Yuan Youlan was still very worried.
"Welcome, welcome, Secretary Yuan. It's good that you're here, but why did you bring so many gifts? Remember to take them back with you."
Wang Duoyu pretended to be 'angry' and said.
For Wang Duoyu, it was naturally a happy thing for an old friend to come to visit.
This family doesn't come to their villa on Ersha Island very often. If it weren't for someone regularly coming to clean it, the villa would probably be completely abandoned by now.
So now that Yuan Youlan is visiting, it adds a bit of life to the villa.
This time, Yuan Youlan stayed and had dinner at the villa.
After the dishes had been served, he brought up the current state of Guangzhou's economy.
He was no longer the top official in Guangzhou, but had been promoted, though he was not transferred out of Guangzhou.
"Duoyu, it's all thanks to you, otherwise Guangzhou's economy would be a complete mess."
"In the automotive industry, Guangzhou has already achieved the top position nationwide."
Well, in this area, even Harbin can't compare.
Despite Wang Duoyu's efforts to bring in three German automakers—Daimler, BMW, and Audi—and establish joint ventures in Harbin, the situation remains unchanged.
However, compared to Guangzhou, there are far fewer foreign car manufacturers.
There are far more than three foreign-invested automobile companies in Guangzhou. Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Ford and other automobile companies have all set up operations in Guangzhou.
The domestic passenger car market has begun to see fierce competition.
"Old Yuan, now that you mention it, it seems our domestic car market is basically dominated by foreign brands. I'm afraid our domestic companies won't have any competitiveness in the future."
Wang Duoyu frowned and said:
"Here's what I think: it's true that Guangzhou wants to develop its economy, but we can't just favor foreign car companies. We have to give domestic cars some room to survive. What do you think?"
Actually, Wang Duoyu didn't want to work either, but it was something he couldn't avoid.
No matter where he goes, someone will always come looking for him.
There is really not much room for domestic cars to survive now. Even foreign car brands are facing the same challenge of fierce competition for survival.
Take Toyota as an example. Nowadays, the starting price of a Toyota car is basically 200,000 yuan.
Luxury brands like Daimler, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi have starting prices of over 300,000 yuan.
You should know that many people in China only earn two or three hundred yuan a month.
Therefore, very few people can afford to buy a car.
In such a fiercely competitive market environment, it is extremely difficult for domestic car brands to gain a foothold.
Harbin Institute of Technology's self-developed new energy vehicles do not currently have a high market share.
There are many problems that need to be solved; otherwise, it cannot be compared with traditional gasoline-powered vehicles.
Yuan Youlan was well aware of this, so he had no choice but to do his best in this regard.
Having discussed the automotive industry, let's move on to other areas.
Many urban villages in Guangzhou have small family-run workshops and factories, and the clothing wholesale market in Guangzhou is experiencing explosive growth.
To some extent, this small-scale clothing wholesale industry has also had a certain impact on brands such as Yuma Clothing.
However, Yuma Apparel relies on high sales volume and looks like a foreign brand.
Well, people these days tend to have a tendency to admire foreign things, which is why Yuma Apparel's sales in China have always remained high.
For example, in many universities in China today, six or seven out of ten college students consider studying abroad as their life goal.
This ratio is actually quite exaggerated.
However, this is the current state of domestic society, and it is difficult to change it in a short period of time.
Wang Duoyu and Yuan Youlan chatted idly, and time passed by unnoticed, until it was past nine o'clock in the evening.
Yuan Youlan knew it was late, so she took her leave.
Those who know Wang Duoyu are generally aware of his daily routine.
For more than a decade, it has remained virtually unchanged.
Over the next few days, Wang Duoyu stayed in Guangzhou for quite some time, visiting many places, just walking around and looking at things.
They didn't return to Harbin until mid-May.
June has arrived in the blink of an eye.
On Children's Day, June 1st, Wang Duoyu's house was bustling with activity all day long.
"Brother, you're not a child anymore, why are you celebrating this festival with us?"
Inside the villa, Wang Yifei pouted as she looked at her older brother, having to tilt her head back to see him.
Because Wang Junhong, although he is fourteen years old by the traditional Chinese age reckoning, is already over 1.8 meters tall.
Definitely a grown-up!
Even her second brother, Wang Jun'an, has grown taller very quickly in the past six months, exceeding 1.6 meters in the blink of an eye, almost as tall as his mother.
In fact, Wang Junhong could be considered a "late-age child" by some extent, but Wang Junan was definitely a child.
After all, Wang Jun'an is only ten years old this year, so he is definitely a child.
"Who says I'm not a child?"
Wang Junhong pursed his lips, but he didn't hold it against his sister, otherwise Wang Yifei would have been bullied in no time.
He looked down on the games his sisters played, finding them childish. Only entertainment programs like watching movies suited him better.
The children in the family are not that far apart in age, but there is a significant difference in height.
If Wang Junhong took Wang Yifei out and said they were father and daughter, probably no one would doubt it.
Even though Wang Junhong's face still had a childish look, his height of 1.8 meters was incredibly imposing.
If he carried Wang Chuyue out, then they would be father and daughter, and no one would suspect anything.
Therefore, the height difference among the five siblings in the family is indeed quite significant.
"Dad, my older brother is bullying me!"
Unable to argue with her older brother, Wang Yifei called for reinforcements, asking her father to act as the referee.
"Okay, Dad knows. Go play now, or Children's Day will be over soon."
Wang Duoyu patted the little guy's head and said with a smile.
He's been in a good mood these past couple of days because he's finally finished organizing his proof of the Yang Mills existence and mass gap problem.
In other words, he can finally take a peaceful vacation.
In the short term, he doesn't want to start any more theoretical research projects with this level of difficulty.
too difficult!
At this moment, several cars arrived outside the villa; it was Lu Genrong, a leader from Beijing, who had come in person.
"Professor Wang, it's been a long time."
Wang Duoyu smiled and shook hands with the other person, but a question arose in his mind: "Why is he here?" (End of this chapter)
