The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology
Chapter 446 Ungrateful Wolves, Award Ceremony Turns the Tide
Late August 1994, Miami, North America.
"Everyone, be on high alert! This time, we must take them down in one fell swoop. Not a single one can be let out. Do you understand?"
The building ahead is the headquarters of the Anka mercenary group.
This hideout has been completely taken over by the FBI.
According to the head of the National Security Agency, the goal is to find the person who previously swindled the agency out of ten million US dollars in payment, and that person must be apprehended.
After an investigation, they confirmed that it was Andy, the leader of the Anka mercenary group, who had acted on his own initiative.
This person reported Orlando, but Orlando did not use a huge sum of money to make the transaction.
Since that's the case, let's arrest Andy and bring him back to the Security Bureau's interrogation room in Washington for questioning.
Hence the current scene.
Two FBI agent squad leaders were both keeping their eyes fixed on the building ahead.
The time to attack had come, so a group of people began to move.
Da da da!
Gunshots rang out, and agents from the Bureau of Investigation fell to the ground, their blood flowing like a river.
"Damn it, everyone get down, the bullets came from behind us!"
The squad leader shouted something, then collapsed and died.
Even bulletproof vests are useless because the bullets are armor-piercing rounds from sniper rifles, which are extremely powerful and cannot be withstood by ordinary human bodies.
How could the Anka mercenary group have discovered them in advance?
No one knew, but the Anka mercenary group had already surrounded them and ended the battle in a very short time.
Cameron emerged from the darkness and gave the order:
"Clean up the battlefield immediately, we'll leave in half an hour."
"F**K! These bastards who waste taxpayers' money actually dared to come knocking on my door. If I find out which traitor leaked the information, I'll kill him!"
After spitting out a mouthful of phlegm, Cameron, his face contorted with rage, walked into their hideout with a gun in hand.
At this time, there were still many items in their lair.
Unfortunately, they had to abandon the stronghold they had built at great expense.
However, all the firearms, ammunition, gold, and US dollar cash inside must be taken away.
Although the FBI's attack caused heavy losses to the Anka Mercenary Group, they at least wiped out the invading enemy, which did not tarnish the reputation of their mercenary group.
More than half an hour later, Andy, who was vacationing in Guam, received a phone call.
Upon learning that their hideout had been discovered, Cameron led his men in an emergency evacuation, and Andy hung up the phone with a smile.
But soon his face darkened, and he slammed his fist viciously onto the beach.
The white sand flew everywhere, causing the curvaceous, busty woman next to him to scream in surprise.
The sand flew with such force that it naturally hurt when it hit delicate skin.
But Andy didn't care about any of that and hurriedly stood up and left the scene.
Enraged, the busty beauties pointed at Andy's back and began to curse.
A little over an hour later, Andy fabricated a detailed account of the FBI's treachery on a forum in the underworld and uploaded it to the internet.
This forum in the dark world is generally only frequented by people from shady organizations such as mercenary groups, assassin organizations, drug cartels, and counterfeit money groups.
This forum is a hub for all sorts of discussions, including things like organ trafficking, human trafficking, drug dealing, human bone trading, and arms dealing—all commonplace occurrences.
There's nothing this forum can't display, only things you haven't thought of.
The URL of this forum changes every now and then.
Anyway, nobody knows who started this forum; it's just been around for the past few years.
Andy's post caused an instant uproar in the underworld.
No one expected the FBI to be so shameless.
They issued a mission and offered such a high reward, but unexpectedly they have to take back the reward and also wipe out the Anka mercenary group.
Is there no justice left? Is there no law left?
Whether there is justice or not, no one knows, but the FBI did a very unethical job in this matter.
Almost everyone who followed this post was quietly watching for what would happen next, while also being extra careful when cooperating with the FBI in the future.
It's interesting, though. They're supposed to be involved in the underworld, yet they're cooperating with a force like the FBI.
Haha, the world is so big, there are really all sorts of wonders.
At Gibion base, Orlando also noticed the post and immediately understood why the security agency had suddenly come to South Africa to conduct a sting operation.
"Fuck you, you're such an ingrate!"
Orlando was furious. Last year, he had helped the Anka mercenary group escape from the jaws of death, assisting Andy Cameron and his men.
Even though it was just a transaction, there was still some friendship involved, right?
As it turned out, that bastard Andy was incredibly unethical.
Then don't blame Orlando for being ruthless.
Dry!
Orlando then planned to completely wipe the Anka mercenary group from this world.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sleep comfortably.
However, he cannot act immediately because Yabofan had just called him and told him to behave himself for the time being.
It wasn't Lanstark who called, but rather the executive, Yabofein, who called personally.
Therefore, Orlando naturally knew the seriousness of the situation.
Meanwhile, at the headquarters of Want Want Group in New York, a video conference call between senior executives officially began.
Executives located around the world, regardless of their location or time of day, are all required to attend.
This meeting was chaired by Wang Duoyu.
As soon as the meeting began, Wang Duoyu brought up the matter at hand.
A crisis is imminent, and everyone must be vigilant.
"From this moment forward, all transactions involving super-large sums of US dollars are limited to under 50 million US dollars. No more transactions exceeding 50 million US dollars are permitted!"
"Secondly, we are now officially launching the banking plan. We must ensure that our funds can be deposited into the bank smoothly, and then transferred multiple times to hide the money."
The two points Wang Duoyu mentioned will definitely make the use of counterfeit money safer and more covert, and less likely to be detected.
However, costs will also rise sharply.
For example, the second point.
Once the funds are deposited in a bank, they will be transferred to other people's accounts.
After multiple rounds of transfers, these funds were converted into gold, or grain, crude oil, or even stocks and futures in places like Financial Harbor.
In short, after going through such a long series of transactions, these funds will definitely be completely laundered.
It's just that the cost will increase sharply.
Of course, the Super Dollar Factory also has several other extremely stable money laundering channels, such as movie theaters.
In addition to Maple Leaf Holdings Group, it also secretly controls several investment companies, which then invest in several major North American movie theater chains.
Although they didn't completely acquire these cinemas, they were able to smoothly cleanse themselves and become real money.
After all, movie theaters collect money from audiences by selling movie tickets.
However, buying multiple movie tickets is a perfectly normal thing to do.
Especially those blockbuster movies, which were originally only expected to gross 200 million US dollars, ended up grossing 300 million or even 400 million US dollars.
Even though you have to pay taxes, haha, you can just turn the profit into nothing.
Then there are giants like Paramount, MGM, and Marvel, whose film investments require massive amounts of capital.
For example, the Lord of the Rings trilogy would have had a very high film budget.
It also requires a considerable amount of funding.
After the film's box office results were announced, the actors were rewarded with cash, which was even more impressive.
All of these channels can turn those huge sums of US dollars into real US dollars.
The outside world has nothing to say yet.
Of course, costs will definitely skyrocket, far less than the cost control of previous large transactions.
Upon hearing Wang Duoyu's words, some of the executives disagreed, but they had no better options and could only nod helplessly.
If there were any other options, Wang Duoyu wouldn't have resorted to this drastic measure.
"Aside from these changes, the Gibion base will remain silent for the foreseeable future, and other sales activities that may be suspected also need to remain silent."
"Also, warn all of you men to be vigilant and not fall into anyone's trap again."
The meeting lasted for half an hour, and although it was short, it contained a great deal of information.
All the senior executives became tense, especially those who worked late at night. They didn't care about anything else and immediately notified their sales teams after the event.
Stern warning.
At the same time, it is necessary to give repeated instructions the next day, otherwise, if something goes wrong, it could be a matter of life and death.
No one dared to gamble with their own life.
September has arrived in the blink of an eye.
In Harbin, on the campus of Harbin Institute of Technology, Wang Yifei began her second year of university in the fall semester.
She wanted to skip a grade, but her foundation wasn't solid enough, so her father stopped her, telling her to take it slow and not rush.
There's really nothing to rush.
She's only in second grade, and she's only seven years old this year. There's no need to rush.
Being too young and skipping grades is not a good thing.
However, although her father rejected her application to skip a grade, he said that if she could successfully complete three or four years of intensive study in the following year, he would allow her to skip a grade next fall.
Whether she can jump or not depends on her performance.
"Dad, today is the first day of school, aren't you going to take me to school?"
In the living room, at the dining table, Wang Yifei, with two small braids, was eating a steamed bun while asking questions.
This morning, she followed her older siblings and, led by their father, completed morning exercises, took a shower, and then ate breakfast.
Even though school is starting today, the children's morning exercises are still a must.
Of course, the training intensity is different from that during the summer vacation.
Previously, when they were in Shangri-La, the training intensity had been gradually increased.
After all, the training intensity will naturally need to be adjusted when moving from plains to plateau.
The oxygen concentration is low at high altitudes, so any accident that occurs during training is no joke.
Therefore, Wang Duoyu naturally paid close attention to this point.
"Wang Yifei, can you please stop bothering your father like this?" the second child said with dissatisfaction.
After the fall semester starts, Wang Jun'an, who is ten years old this year, will be in the third year of junior high school, and will be able to go to high school next fall.
Compared to his older brother, Wang Junan is far inferior.
Because Wang Junhong was already qualified to participate in the National Mathematics Competition when he was ten years old.
If he wants to catch up with his older brother, he needs to continue to study hard in the future.
The third brother chimed in:
"That's right, Wang Qianqian, you're always like this. Dad is very tired. You need to learn to be considerate of Dad, okay?"
Faced with her two older brothers' accusations, Wang Yifei snorted and snuggled closer to her father, acting coquettishly:
"Dad, my second and third brothers are bullying me!"
The Wang brothers, Jun'an and Jun'kang, were speechless.
Liu Xiaoli, who was standing nearby, suddenly spoke up:
"Sisi, your second brother and the others are right. You can't always be like this. It's the first day of school. How about Mom takes you to school later?"
The Harbin Institute of Technology Affiliated Primary School is located just outside the school grounds, not far away, and there is even a shuttle bus service, so her parents don't need to take her to school at all.
For example, Wang Jun'an went to school by himself, and he rode a bicycle to and from school with his classmates.
Of course, Wang Junan was unaware that he was always followed by security personnel.
As long as he leaves the campus, someone will inevitably follow him.
"Alright then." Wang Yifei's reluctant expression angered her mother, and then she listened to her mother nagging for a long time.
Actually, she really wanted to cover her ears: I don't want to hear this bastard's rambling!
But no, otherwise she'll be in trouble.
After breakfast, Wang Duoyu went out to the School of Mathematics.
Today is the first day of school, and also the time for this month's math sharing session.
It was also the day that Yang Nianzhen, Maxim, and Jean-Baptiste received awards from Harbin Institute of Technology.
All three of them received the Fields Medal. Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) rewards professors and doctoral students who make outstanding contributions or are eligible for awards.
Harbin Institute of Technology is not short of money, and it has always been very generous in rewarding such talents.
In the small auditorium of the School of Mathematics, there were more than two thousand people who came to watch the mathematics sharing and award presentation.
This small auditorium is a private auditorium within the School of Mathematics, built to accommodate two thousand people.
The reason we didn't use the auditorium is because we still needed to hold a math sharing session. After all, with everyone gathered together, we couldn't miss such an opportunity.
The math sharing session officially began at 9:00 AM sharp.
The awarding of the prize will have to wait.
The International Congress of Mathematicians was just held more than half a month ago, and now there is another mathematics sharing session. Isn't the interval too short?
However, everyone listened with great interest.
The content shared this time was completely different from the various reports I had given in Zurich before.
Wang Duoyu lectures on geometry, the analysis of Rickey flow and revolutionary insights into geometric structures, algebraic representation theory, and theoretical research in algebraic geometry.
Due to its length and brilliance, Yau Shing-Tung and his colleagues strongly suggested that today's math sharing be extended into the afternoon.
Even the awards ceremony was postponed to the afternoon.
During lunch break, which is about an hour and a half, the sharing will continue at 1:30 pm.
After the Zurich conference in August, Lawson Lehmann and others went directly to Harbin Institute of Technology, where they were filled with emotion.
"He truly deserves the title of 'Emperor of Mathematics,' we've come to the right place this time."
Lawson Lehman is a third-year student at Oxford University, but he now wants to graduate from Oxford and then take the entrance exam for Harbin Institute of Technology's postgraduate program.
This plan includes the enrollment plan for Wang Duoyu, the "Emperor of Mathematics".
Wang Duoyu will recruit two master's students next year.
There are very few spots available, and the competition is extremely fierce.
Just a few days ago, when the enrollment plan was announced, the number of applicants on the Harbin Institute of Technology's official website had already exceeded 10,000.
How many math students are there in the world?
Undergraduates who are able to graduate smoothly from the mathematics departments or colleges of various universities are already quite capable.
Because not every school can offer mathematics courses, and not many students can actually learn advanced mathematics.
Even fewer people would dare to choose Wang Duoyu as their master's thesis advisor.
Lawson, Lyman, and others knew the chances were slim, but they still wanted to try, so they immediately went to Harbin Institute of Technology at their own expense, even if it was just to audit the class.
Fortunately, they arrived in Harbin ahead of time and learned that the School of Mathematics would be holding a mathematics sharing conference on September 1st.
So they signed up without hesitation and passed the assessment smoothly.
Yes, students who are eligible to participate in the sharing session must pass an assessment; otherwise, they will not be allowed to participate.
Because there are limited spots available.
Today, Wang Duoyu shared his theoretical research on geometry and algebra, which is enough to write a high-quality paper.
But Wang Duoyu shared it directly.
Too bad!
He truly deserves to be called a mathematical genius; his research in the fields of geometry and algebra is also so profound.
Horror!
As 5:30 p.m. approached, Wang Duoyu finally finished his sharing session.
Next came the awards ceremony.
Yang Nianzhen, Maxim, and Jean-Baptiste all went on stage to receive their awards, but Wang Duoyu did not participate because he did not need such an award.
Most importantly, he was one of the award presenters.
The other two presenters were Shing-Tung Yau and Wu Tsung-Hsin, the former head of the Department of Mathematics.
All three of them received a cash reward of one million RMB. In addition, their annual salaries at Harbin Institute of Technology were on par with those of William Thurston, Alain Connie, and Yorkz, and they would receive additional allowances if they held other part-time positions.
For example, Wiles, who serves as the editor-in-chief of the Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematics Journal, and Shing-Tung Yau, who serves as the dean of the School of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology, both receive additional subsidies.
Otherwise, all Fields Medal winners receive the same annual salary.
After all, winning the Fields Medal is already the pinnacle of achievement in the field of mathematics.
Well, Wang Duoyu is an exception, because he's already a math emperor, and no one can compare to him.
Of course, this is not the most important thing, because compared to material rewards, honor and status are what they would prefer to see.
For example, Yang Nianzhen's Fields Medal is even more prestigious.
Because she was the world's first female mathematician to win the Fields Medal, she is destined to leave her mark on the history of mathematics.
To leave one's name in history is something that many talented and extraordinary people have always wanted to achieve.
The awards ceremony ended quickly, and Wang Duoyu was stopped by Yang Nianzhen and his group.
He was surrounded by his students, each of whom had a lot of questions.
Wang Junhong also joined in the fun.
"Junhong, you see your father every day, so you can ask him any questions face-to-face. Why are you trying to take our time now?"
Yang Wenchuan couldn't help but whisper, and Zhao Jice and the others nodded in agreement.
"You all know that? My dad has so much work to do, he's already very busy, and I have quite a few younger siblings. When I'm home, I can only ask him for help on weekends; I wouldn't dare do it at other times."
Because every time he asks for advice, his father has to explain for at least half an hour. This is because the questions he asks are quite difficult, and his father has to explain them thoroughly before he can understand them.
Therefore, he dared not ask questions during his spare time.
Zhao Jice and the others clearly did not believe Wang Junhong's words.
Moreover, even so, Wang Junhong is still much better than the others.
Of Wang Duoyu's nineteen students, four have now won the Fields Medal, while Rong Guangxia, Li Jun, and Li Jianshu have already "retired" and are not present at the event.
The remaining twelve students are still a lot of people.
It would naturally take Wang Duoyu quite a while to respond to each one.
Besides Wei Jiahong and his group, there were other students present.
For example, Lawson and Lyman, among others, all wanted to ask questions.
Even if they didn't ask questions, they still wanted to leave a good impression on Wang Duoyu.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Wang Duoyu arrived at the administration building and entered the secretary's office.
I came here today to see Liu Deben to discuss some development issues concerning the School of Mathematics. Actually, it was Qiu Chengtong who brought it up first.
Although Harbin Institute of Technology is very powerful today, it is ultimately a university of defense science and technology, not a research university of science and engineering.
Therefore, Shing-Tung Yau and his colleagues hoped that some changes could be made.
For example, the School of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology could be separated and established as a purely science and engineering research university.
Or perhaps we should transform Harbin Institute of Technology into a comprehensive research university.
Wang Duoyu came today, but only brought his ears; he didn't offer any opinions.
Actually, he had talked to Shing-Tung Yau and others, and there was no point in discussing it.
Maintaining the status quo is sufficient.
Harbin Institute of Technology has been gradually developing some humanities majors in accordance with its own development needs, transforming itself into a comprehensive research university.
However, it is definitely not possible to change Harbin Institute of Technology's status as a national university of defense technology.
More than an hour later, Wang Duoyu got up and left the office.
After much discussion, Qiu Chengtong and his group were no match for Liu Deben and his group.
At the same time, Liu Deben and others did not dare to be too forceful, because if Qiu Chengtong and the others resigned and left, they would not be able to stop them.
The current situation is indeed a bit difficult to handle.
Wang Duoyu had no better solution and could only take it one step at a time.
As long as he can maintain his teaching and research abilities, continue to produce research results, and train students, then there is no need to worry too much.
As John Milnor, Smail, Robert Langlands, Daniel Gray, Joseph Cohen, and others have aged, the importance of these Fields Medal winners has diminished dramatically.
Moreover, Wang Duoyu has now trained four students: Yorkz, Bocherz, Maxim, and Yang Nianzhen.
Even the importance of figures like Shing-Tung Yau, Alain Connie, and William Thurston is declining.
The future ultimately lies in the hands of young people, and the era that belonged to Shing-Tung Yau and his contemporaries is gradually becoming a thing of the past.
The era of young people such as Wu Yiliang, Zhao Jice, Yang Wenchuan, Gao Huajian, Peng Fuli, Wang Junhong, An Xiaoxi, Wei Jiahong, Hino Yasuhito, and Gao Ersi is about to arrive.
Whoever among them wins a Fields Medal in the next ten or twenty years will be able to usher in a new era.
The Fields Medal is awarded every four years, with four awards given each year.
The following years are 1998, 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, etc.
Take Wang Junhong as an example. He was born on December 8, 1980, so he could participate in six sessions.
Because he was already over forty years old at the 2022 conference.
However, he is unlikely to participate in 1998, as he is still too young and probably won't be able to produce any extremely important mathematical research results in the next four years.
Even so, Wang Junhong has a very high probability of winning a Fields Medal.
It's not just because he's young and talented, but also because he has a good father.
In conclusion, the demands made by Shing-Tung Yau and his team are actually very difficult to meet.
As long as Wang Duoyu doesn't voice his support, they're powerless.
Moreover, the Harbin Institute of Technology's School of Mathematics has always existed, and the school is relatively independent, with Harbin Institute of Technology focusing more on managing undergraduate programs and not interfering much in graduate teaching.
The matter was dropped, but Wang Duoyu felt that Qiu Chengtong and the others would definitely continue to offer their opinions.
After a few days of calm, the 1995 postgraduate admissions process began.
Lawson and Lyman participated in the first round of exams immediately.
This round of assessments is designed to weed out students who are trying to take advantage of others.
Harbin Institute of Technology needs students with real skills, not scoundrels who try to take advantage of the situation.
Moreover, among them were Wang Duoyu's students, so the Harbin Institute of Technology's admissions office was naturally extremely cautious.
However, after the first round of preliminary examinations, the School of Mathematics took over the management of all students who had registered for the graduate entrance examination of the School of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology.
Students from other colleges are still handled by the admissions office.
The Department of Mathematics is the most complex, and the questions are very profound, so naturally the professors in the Department of Mathematics set the questions themselves.
The second round of exams will be held a week later in the teaching building of the School of Mathematics.
After the second round of selection, those who remain will be the more capable students.
However, before the third round of assessment, they need to undergo at least three months of study. If they can pass the third round of assessment, they can all get an admission ticket.
Inside the school corridor, Lawson, Lyman, and a few others discussed the topic they had just discussed.
"If the second round of exams is this difficult, won't the third round be even harder?"
"It's hard to say, and even if you get in, it won't be easy because the competition is so fierce. Everyone's eyeing the Fields Medal these days..."
"Tch, there are only four spots every four years, and it's not guaranteed that four people will win the Fields Medal every year. It's just wishful thinking..."
"If I could become Professor Wang's student, the chances would be much higher. It's a pity that there are still 1,200 people competing for it. How infuriating!"
Just then, Zhao Jice and Yang Wenchuan passed by and overheard the conversation. They couldn't help but comment:
"Wenchuan, why does the teacher still take on so many students? Can he manage to keep up?"
Yang Wenchuan said:
"Why don't you just ask the teacher?"
The two were speaking at a moderate volume, but Lawson Lyman happened to overhear them.
The latter immediately turned around and came to them, his expression strange, and asked in broken Mandarin:
"Hello, students. May I ask if your teacher is Professor Wang Duoyu?"
Lawson Lyman is quite clever; he learned Mandarin to this level in just over a month, which is really impressive.
Learning Mandarin will allow him to thrive even more in Harbin.
If he can pass the second round of testing and meet Wang Duoyu in the future, then his advantage will be amplified.
In fact, language skills are just the most basic level in the mathematics department.
The vast majority of undergraduates are proficient in one or two foreign languages, with English being a must.
Because apart from the Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematics Journal, which is bilingual in Chinese and English, other top-tier professional journals in the world are mostly in English.
Yang Wenchuan raised an eyebrow:
"Um, is there something you need?"
"No, I just wanted to have a chat with you. Do you have time?"
As Lawson Lyman spoke, his friends also realized what was happening.
So one by one they approached.
Zhao Jice and Yang Wenchuan were at their wits' end, regretting their earlier comments.
However, for now, I took Lawson and Lyman to the cafeteria, where they sat down to eat and chat.
"What? You studied for nine months back then? Did Professor Wang personally teach you?"
Lawson and Lyman wanted to find out more about how to pass the assessment and about Wang Duoyu's teaching.
They were very disappointed.
Wang Duoyu does not teach public courses.
Even for his own students, giving a lesson once every two weeks is considered quite good.
For example, Yang Wenchuan and Zhao Jice usually consult with their senior brothers and sisters, such as Yang Nianzhen.
Most of the time, they selectively participate in the learning of those basic courses.
For example, senior professors such as Joseph Cohen, David Bryant Manford, and Daniel Gray all give open lectures.
They are extremely famous, and every time they hold a class, there are many students auditing the classes.
Lawson and Lyman thought that Wang Duoyu should teach personally, but they never expected that he would not teach much.
The filter is broken!
Seeing their disappointed expressions, Yang Wenchuan couldn't help but say:
"Then you shouldn't take the exam. Since the teachers are short on time, they shouldn't continue recruiting students."
I'm so resentful!
Lawson and Lyman looked at each other, but no one picked up on the topic. Instead, they awkwardly changed the subject.
After Yang Wenchuan and Zhao Jice left, Lawson and the others still didn't understand why Wang Duoyu had so few classes.
After all, they were all his personally trained disciples.
While the postgraduate entrance examination was in full swing on the campus of Harbin Institute of Technology, far away on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, on the east coast of North America...
In Washington, D.C., at the headquarters of the National Security Agency, Director Chadros sat in a chair with a grim expression.
"More than a month has passed, and you still haven't found a single clue?"
"Even Orlando hasn't used any more US dollars for gold transactions? How is that possible?"
"What are you all good for? A bunch of idiots!"
It's no wonder Chadros was so angry; he was simply too eager to get the evidence and embarrass 'European Capital'.
Unfortunately, this was just his own idea.
The reality is that there's nothing that can be found!
The counterfeit money ring seemed to have vanished overnight.
Despite the presence of informants from the National Security Agency, along with agencies such as the CIA and FBI, they were unable to receive any leads or information.
However, according to intelligence from the Federal Reserve, the amount of super dollars is still rising.
Currently, Super Dollar's coverage is growing rapidly outside the United States.
There have been increases in many banks and other places around the world, and it is indeed impossible to find any information about them.
The Federal Reserve is also facing a major headache, not knowing where to begin its investigation because there are simply too many cases.
For example, some time ago, they found out that a movie theater in North America had a third of its money in US dollars.
Further investigation revealed that the source of the funds could not be determined because the Federal Reserve cannot monitor all ordinary people using the super-dollar.
In short, the current circulation of super-sized US dollars has become so exaggerated that it's frightening.
Think about it carefully, and the super-dollar factory takes out at least hundreds of billions of dollars every year.
Once these currencies enter the global market, the Federal Reserve has no way to control them.
To destroy these massive amounts of US dollars, they would need to be collected and destroyed in a centralized manner.
But this requires the Federal Reserve to foot the bill.
That's several hundred billion US dollars! What kind of capital would be willing to pay that much?
If we proactively destroy these super-sized US dollars before dismantling the counterfeit money ring, will we do the same for any super-sized US dollars that are produced later?
So what the Federal Reserve wants to do now is to first dismantle the real dens of the counterfeit money rings and prevent these super-dollars from continuing to flood the market.
Under intense pressure, the director of the security bureau was naturally in a bind; being in charge of this case was no easy task.
Inside the office, Chadros was furious, while the head of the IRS remained silent, as did Baker Barnes and Brian Ward.
In short, let Chadros vent his anger for now.
Whether or not something is discovered is the subordinates' business, and has no direct relation to them, the higher-ups.
"We must keep a close eye on Orlando immediately. I refuse to believe he won't slip up!"
"in addition."
Chadros flew into a rage, then, following the old ways, rearranged the previous action strategy and rearranged it.
The meeting then concluded.
As Beckbarnes and Brian Ward walked out of the meeting room, they were thinking about something else entirely.
The Mega Dollar case has been taken over entirely by Chadros; the two of them are merely accomplices.
The case they were in charge of, the trap plan, almost cost them their jobs.
Grumman CEO Brunhansen has called George Herbert multiple times, urging Beckbarnes and Brian Ward to leave the company.
Despite the vast amount of technical data provided by Grumman, Barnes and Brian were unable to persuade Wang Duoyu to return to the United States.
What a shame!
They, Grumman, had never experienced such a great humiliation.
The failure of the trap plan will have to be paid for by someone. Barnes and Brian are not easy to deal with, so it is naturally not them who will pay for it.
The current situation is unexpected for them, so they need to find another way to keep their jobs.
Just then, the White House office called, notifying Barnes and Brian to attend a meeting.
Half an hour later, everyone gathered in the White House conference room.
"Let's talk about the aftermath of the trap plan now."
The person chairing today's meeting was none other than Todd Turner, the number five figure in the White House. As soon as he opened his mouth, Barnes and Brian felt a jolt in their hearts.
Brunhansen was the first to speak:
"The materials that our Grumman company has provided have all been scrambled, and some of the data has been modified by our experts, so they are very likely to mislead others."
"However, a certain large country in the Far East has top mathematicians like Wang Duoyu. These people are extremely intelligent, and their minds are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Therefore, we cannot be certain whether they can deduce these erroneous data and correct them."
"Therefore, we now need to take remedial measures. First, we must closely monitor a certain major power in the Far East to ensure that they have not established a strategic bomber program. Even if they have, we must sabotage it!"
"Secondly, we also need to track Wang Duoyu's whereabouts and keep a close eye on his movements. If possible, we must bring him back."
"Third, Wang Duoyu is recruiting a new batch of students. We must not let our math geniuses in the United States be misled by them. At the same time, we should also invite Qiu Chengtong and his people back. We can't let them stay in Harbin any longer."
As the president of Grumman, the advice he offered from the very first word was always ruthless.
As a final, decisive move, they simply flipped the table and quit!
