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

December 15, 1994, Los Angeles, Chinese Theatre.

Today is the premiere of the movie "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring". Many A-list and B-list stars from all over Hollywood are here, making it a star-studded and lively event.

The red carpet is very long, and only a few people are qualified to walk it.

"My God, is this the Oscars? There are so many celebrities here, it's unbelievable!"

"Ahhh, it's Demi! She's so beautiful! Wait, is that Jack? His nose is so big!"

"As expected of Hollywood, there are so many stars here. Is the magic of 'The Lord of the Rings' really that great?"

"You are desecrating 'The Lord of the Rings'! I will not allow your film to be released; you will ruin this great work!"

In stark contrast to the bustling crowds of reporters and moviegoers around the theater, thousands of die-hard fans of the original Lord of the Rings novels sat quietly around the square next to the theater.

These die-hard fans believe that "The Lord of the Rings" is the best work and does not need to be adapted into films and television series to showcase its charm.

Most importantly, die-hard fans of the original book are worried that film and television adaptations will ruin their vision of "The Lord of the Rings".

In fact, J.R.R. Tolkien, the author of "The Lord of the Rings," along with his family members and the copyright foundation, have already agreed to hand over the film and television adaptation rights to Paramount Pictures for production.

If that's the case, then why should fans of the original work bother making a fuss?
However, outsiders cannot understand the behavior of these fans of the original work, because they deeply love the novel "The Lord of the Rings". Its magnificent Middle-earth, the intertwined forces of the dwarf kingdom, the orc army, the elven kingdom, and the magical power of the Ring, all drive these fans crazy.

Because the world of "The Lord of the Rings" is so vast, fans of the original book are worried that the movie will not be made well and will ruin this highly acclaimed work.

Unfortunately, the tide of history was unstoppable.

As the head of Paramount, Levin Burns personally appeared at today's premiere ceremony to give the film's creative team the greatest support.

He has already seen the movie, and it was very good.

Quite shocking.

Whether it's the special effects, the plot, the fight scenes, or other aspects, it's already a masterpiece of recent years.

In addition to Levin Burns, Rowland Winster also came.

The latter is the head of MGM, who also invested in "The Lord of the Rings".

Paramount, MGM, and Marvel Studios are currently the best-working companies among Hollywood's giants, bar none.

In the past few years, the films produced by these three film companies, whether through collaboration or sole production, have achieved considerable box office success.

Now that "The Lord of the Rings" has been released, it has already begun extensive promotion a week ago.

It is estimated that the film will reach its climax after today's premiere ceremony.

As the movie began, everyone quieted down and watched intently.

The opening shots are nothing special.

However, as the plot unfolds, the natural scenery of Jiuzhaigou, Zhangjiajie and other places attracts everyone's attention.

Meanwhile, the house where the hobbits live, Bag End, also captivates the audience.

In fact, these foreigners didn't know that in that mysterious country in the Far East, there are many different kinds of houses, including cave dwellings, seaweed houses, Hakka walled villages, red brick ancient houses, Kaiping Diaolou, Wangjinglou, Fujian Tulou, and so on.

The Hobbit's Bag End is just a work of fiction; in terms of practicality, it's not even as good as a cave dwelling.

But for foreigners, a house like Bag End perfectly matches their fantasy of Hobbits.

"Ha ha!"

When the tall and thin Gandalf entered Bag End, he hunched over and slowly moved forward, bumping into chandeliers, rooftops, and other objects, which immediately made the audience burst into laughter.

From the very first scene, the audience was captivated.

As the plot unfolds, everyone becomes even more immersed in it.

Most of the scenes in The Lord of the Rings were filmed in a large country in the Far East, not in New Zealand.

The stunning scenery of Jiuzhaigou and other places amazed the audience in Los Angeles.

The three-hour runtime left the audience quite impatient, and since it was the premiere ceremony, the cast and crew would also be on stage to interact with the audience, making it a total of four hours.

The entire process was so lengthy that at the very end, long queues formed outside the theater's restrooms.

Many viewers discussed the plot, and many were also interested in the scenery of the Far East.

At this moment, Wang Duoyu overruled all objections and made the decision to send the main creative team to Jiuzhaigou and other places for filming, all for this very moment.

The Lord of the Rings is a trilogy, and once it's released, its box office performance is sure to be good.

Whether it will surpass the box office of the original timeline is something Wang Duoyu cannot guarantee, but its influence will definitely increase significantly.

It's more like a promotional video for scenic spots like Jiuzhaigou than a movie.

The next day, across the United States, the front pages of major newspapers were all about "The Lord of the Rings".

The positive reviews were overwhelming, and the news was also reported by television stations.

The nationwide release in the US has already begun, without any delays or pre-release screenings to build word-of-mouth.

It's going to be released right away!
How confident that is!
There are over 4,000 movie theaters in the United States, which is one of the main focuses of news reports.

Advertisements for "The Lord of the Rings" are everywhere, including at bus stops, subway stations, and highway entrances.

Warner Bros., Disney, 20th Century Fox, and other Hollywood giants were utterly horrified by what they saw.

The box office figures for The Lord of the Rings on its opening day haven't been released yet, but they're already feeling the fear.

Because there wasn't a single negative review in the newspaper.

Apart from the die-hard fans of the original work staging a sit-in protest, other viewers don't care about these things at all; they are the main force buying movie tickets.

Professional film critics also did not give it a bad review.

In short, a massive amount of viewership went to "The Lord of the Rings," and nobody would believe that the box office wouldn't explode.

Especially now that the purchasing power of the US dollar has declined and the dollar has depreciated, even movie ticket prices have risen significantly.

On the other hand, "The Lord of the Rings" is three hours long, which is sixty minutes longer than other movies, and this translates to a one-third higher ticket price.

Despite these circumstances, long queues still formed outside many movie theaters.

Simply incredible.

Another day has passed in the blink of an eye, and the box office results for the first day are in.

"Fuck!!! How is this possible?"

At the Warner Bros. film studio headquarters, in the president's office, the president, vice presidents, and others were all present. Several newspapers had featured "The Lord of the Rings" on their front page as a headline story.

That's a terrifying $1.03 billion.

In just one day, it grossed a staggering $100 million at the box office across the United States.

All competitors fell silent upon seeing this news.

Even Hollywood giants like Disney don't know what to say. How the hell are they supposed to counter this?

Other films scheduled for release next week have all withdrawn from their release schedules, not daring to compete head-on with this one.

With a box office of 100 million in a single day, and today being Saturday and tomorrow being Sunday, who knows if the box office explosion will continue?
Good heavens, this is US dollars, not Japanese yen, and certainly not some kind of Vietnamese dong.

Saturday passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, many die-hard fans of the original work left the sit-in and went to the cinema to buy tickets to watch the movie.

Then they changed their tune, stopped opposing the film, and instead became die-hard fans, even buying tickets for the next day.

For these people, it's natural to watch movies they like repeatedly.

Moreover, they really love The Lord of the Rings, and The Fellowship of the Ring is indeed a very good movie.

Some die-hard fans have even started researching a trip to a major country in the Far East to see the homeland of the Hobbits, to see those Bag End houses, the beautiful forests of the Elven Kingdom, and so on.

"Time to pop the champagne and celebrate! Haha, praise God, this movie is a success!"

Levin Burns laughed heartily as he spoke.

Because on Saturday alone, The Lord of the Rings grossed $109 million, and in two days it reached $210 million, which is absolutely unprecedented box office revenue.

Even when Jurassic Park was first released, it didn't achieve such high box office performance.

And this is only the end of 1994.

terrible!
"Yes, we can pop some champagne to celebrate. I'm sure our prize money will be substantial this time."

Roland Winster also said with a smile.

Like Levin Burns, he was a top performer in his family, but they were merely front men.

Moreover, they are still separated from the capital behind them by one or even several layers. They have no idea who the real capital is.

It's a pity they didn't have the ability to become senior executives; otherwise, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

Of course, they are also very satisfied with everything they have now.

It's already the end of the year, so the year-end summary meeting is not far away.

They were not qualified to attend the conference, but they could still receive generous rewards.

Paramount, MGM, and Marvel Studios have decent annual revenues, but from the above perspective, there are actually some issues.

Levin Burns knew that his boss had mentioned that the parent company had also invested in Walmart.

As we all know, Walmart is now incredibly successful and has entered a period of rapid growth, becoming one of the two giants in the North American retail industry, alongside Target.

Target has also ushered in new development opportunities in many markets around the world. Walmart will need to work harder if it wants to catch up.

Walmart has an impressive revenue but low profit, but even so, it's not something Paramount can easily compete with.

Walmart was just one of them; Levin Burns knew that his family also had a stake in New Brown Bank.

This bank wasn't just owned by them; many others were shareholders, but like Levin Burns, they were merely nominal shareholders. The real management and ownership were in the hands of others.

In other words, Levin Burns was nothing more than a front man, nothing more.

In New York, Zheng Baoyin, Wang Jianchao, and their companions had just finished watching "The Lord of the Rings" and were filled with emotion.

"Uncle Nine has amazing foresight. To be honest, I can't understand how he guessed that this movie would be so good."

"Jianchao, don't think too much about it. Although your uncle hasn't been to the United States for more than ten years, his abilities are absolutely beyond doubt."

They had already discussed this issue.

The Want Want Group owes its success today entirely to the guidance of Wang Duoyu.

Strategizing within the command tent, securing victory a thousand miles away.

This sentence is perfectly suited to describe Wang Duoyu.

"By the way, Baoyin, when are you going back to China?"

"You're not going back, are you?"

Zheng Baoyin frowned and said:

“I have a feeling that this year’s year-end meeting might not be held in China. In previous years, my uncle would definitely have revealed the location by this time, but this year, it’s already mid-December and he hasn’t said anything.”

"On the contrary, he is very interested in Hidab Airport on the Somali peninsula."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianchao exclaimed in surprise:

"You mean, Uncle Nine is very likely to hold this year's conference on the Somali Peninsula?"

"I suspect that's possible," Zheng Baoyin nodded, "but I can't guarantee it's not."

If the conference really was held in Hideb, Wang Jianchao suddenly understood.

Nobody really cares about this godforsaken place, the Somali Peninsula.

Well, the KGB is an exception.

But even if the KGB really had its eye on the Somali Peninsula, which is a land area of ​​600,000 square kilometers, Hidab is located in the heart of the desert, so the KGB certainly wouldn't go there.

Even if the KGB wanted to come, they couldn't.

The reason is simple: the KGB couldn't get past the warlord Damazin.

Moreover, beyond the territory controlled by the warlord Damazin, there were endless deserts, and then there were the small oasis territories surrounding Hideb.

Therefore, they were probably wiped out before the KGB arrived.

"This is just our guess. Let's not tell anyone yet. I'll go back in a couple of days and ask my uncle what his plans are."

"Yes, we should ask clearly. Although the meeting only lasts one day, it's still going abroad, so we need to be careful."

Wang Jianchao and Zheng Baoyin discussed things quietly for a while before parting ways.

A few days have passed in the blink of an eye. Inside the study villa on the lakeside island of Harbin Institute of Technology in the Ice City.

The outside world was covered in silver, and the whole world was a blanket of white.

The artificial lake at Harbin Institute of Technology's Weizigou campus is completely frozen over, and people can now skate and play on it.

Zheng Baoyin brought back a videotape of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" from the United States and came to Wang Duoyu's house.

In the villa on the island in the lake, the entertainment room is located on the basement level of the villa next door, which is the study.

However, this entertainment room is rarely used; most of the time it's just a movie theater for kids like Wang Yifei.

"Uncle, this is the Lord of the Rings movie you were talking about. I've brought it back. Do you know how much it did at the box office in North America? It's incredible."

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu simply smiled, because he knew very well that this movie was indeed incredibly awesome.

The box office in the original timeline was already outrageous; we don't know the specifics of this timeline yet, but it's likely to be even more impressive.

The reason is simple: because of the super-rich US dollar, the dollar has depreciated dramatically.

With box office revenue exceeding $200 million in two days and nearly $300 million in its opening weekend, these are indeed terrifying box office figures.

Zheng Baoyin had lived in the United States for many years, and this was the first time he had seen such an astonishing rate of box office growth.

Furthermore, the box office drop in the second week was quite stable. Five days after its release, it had barely grossed over $400 million.

It is almost certain that the final box office results of this film will be astonishing.

"High box office is good, but did you guys tamper with the money using the Super Dollar?"

“Uncle, that’s for sure,” Zheng Baoyin said matter-of-factly.
"We certainly can't miss such a great opportunity, but the total amount we put up is no more than fifty million US dollars, so even after deducting that part, the actual box office is still three hundred and fifty million US dollars, which is not a small amount."

Wang Duoyu nodded slightly:
"Well, that's alright, not too many. Otherwise, something bad would have happened."

"Now, because of past relationships, the intelligence agencies, security agencies, and investigation agencies are pursuing mercenary organizations around the world, leaving the Federal Reserve without enough resources to track down the case of the super-dollar."

"But you need to be careful about how you manipulate the box office, and you need to be extremely vigilant, otherwise, once you are targeted, it will be very troublesome."

Zheng Baoyin solemnly said:

"Uncle, don't worry, we know this, and we definitely won't let our guard down."

"The Lord of the Rings has already been released, the second one will be released next year, and the final one the year after."

"With the trilogy in place, our plan is to allocate at least one billion US dollars to supplement the funding."

"Given the sheer size of the global market, it's impossible for the Federal Reserve to investigate every single aspect."

The most crucial point is that the money laundered through box office revenue is only a very small part of the total.

The massive amounts of US dollars have now been dispersed and laundered in many other areas, especially in casinos and high-seas gambling, which are the real gathering places.

Orlando's death, coupled with Wang Duoyu's scheme, has made many super dollar salesmen even more vigilant.

In short, the best course of action is to be cautious.

"How are the other movies coming along? Spider-Man, Iron Man, and other movies should be ready for production by now, right?"

Wang Duoyu asked about the technical aspects out of curiosity.

The film and television rights for Spider-Man and many other works are currently held by Marvel Studios and have not been sold.

Some of the film rights that had already been sold were gradually acquired back from other giants after Want Want Group acquired Marvel Studios.

However, the film rights for several movies, including Wolverine, have not yet been recovered.

But none of that matters anymore. If we can't get it back, we can't get it back. We just need to try not to let these companies take advantage of our popularity.

"The technology is feasible, but the cost is still quite high, so we need to wait a little longer."

Zheng Baoyin said helplessly, but Wang Duoyu directly suggested that filming could be done in the next year or the year after.

Firstly, the current rate of depreciation of the US dollar will exceed that of the original timeline.

This massive devaluation will only make the dollar less and less valuable, while also promoting technological development.

More and more companies have emerged in Silicon Valley, Los Angeles, especially so-called garage companies, which are countless.

The Internet information superhighway plan has been underway for two or three years.

Telecommunications companies like Comcast are growing rapidly, laying more and more network lines that connect to millions of households.

With the increasing number of internet users, the number of various internet technology companies is also increasing.

The current internet market ecosystem is now flourishing with diverse offerings.

Although Facebook and Amazon are still internet giants, there have been many companies that followed them.

For example, the well-known Netscape Navigator and Rainbow Search.

There are over a dozen technology companies in Hollywood related to film special effects, several of which were founded by renowned directors. Given the proliferation of film special effects companies, now is a very opportune time to produce large-scale films that require extensive special effects.

Secondly, the Super Dollar Factory also needs to invest funds. Only by establishing enough film projects can it launder that money as much as possible.

For example, groundbreaking movies like Iron Man have a lot of special effects shots, so the investment will increase accordingly.

The exact amount of money needed is up to Paramount and other film giants to decide.

Hollywood dares to swindle even Wall Street giants, and does so so that the other party has no chance to complain or find any fault with them.

It's easy to see that Hollywood's expertise in bookkeeping has reached its zenith.

Investing in movies can launder some of the money, and the movie's release can launder another portion.

So why doesn't Marvel Studios, with so many movies to invest in, make use of them?
It's almost 1995 now, and in the blink of an eye, it'll be the new millennium.

This point in time doesn't seem like much time has passed for China, as its industrial base and other aspects still need time to develop. But for the Americans, it's already enough.

North America wants to lead the world in economic fields such as finance, so they're using Hollywood blockbusters to carry out cultural invasion.

Wang Duoyu's actions can be seen as going along with their wishes.

However, giants like Paramount are all under the control of the Want Want Group.

Therefore, it is quite normal to see Chinese faces among them.

For film companies like Paramount, cultivating more ungrateful Chinese movie stars is just a matter of a word.

Apart from that, films invested in by the three giants Paramount, MGM, and Marvel Studios will not experience the so-called cultural competition phenomenon.

Conversely, once the technology improves, Huayu Entertainment will follow suit.

After listening, Zheng Baoyin said that there was no problem and that he would definitely tell everyone when he got back.

Then he asked:

"Uncle, the year-end summary meeting is coming up soon. Are we planning to hold it in Harbin or somewhere else this year?"

Wang Duoyu pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked:

"Hideb Airport is finished, right?"

"Of course, it passed the test last month, and even large aircraft like the Boeing 747 can take off and land smoothly."

The Hidab project, located on the Somali peninsula, has been underway for over a year, and the airport has finally been completed.

However, this airport is quite different from airports in many other places.

Simply put, this airport has a standard airport runway and a parking apron, but no large terminal building.

The control tower and other infrastructure are complete; after all, it's small but perfectly formed.

Hearing this, Wang Duoyu nodded and said:
"Then let's hold this year's conference in Hideb. Have all the senior executives go there, but be careful to keep it secret and avoid letting the outside world know about it."

If you don't want the outside world to know about this, it's actually very simple: just send your executives to places like Dubai, Mauritius, and Seychelles, and then take a cruise to enjoy the sea.

"Uncle, isn't it inappropriate to hold a conference abroad? Your safety is more important than anything else."

Zheng Baoyin immediately expressed his concern.

Wang Duoyu shook his head:
"I understand what you mean, but you need to understand one thing: if we don't make changes, the Want Want Group is very likely to be discovered."

Over the years, every January, executives such as O'Brien, Fuller Carson, Lee Evra, Dylan Dario, Gabharvey, and Allen Costa have frequently traveled to China.

Do you really think those intelligence agents are idiots?
Although China's economy is developing faster and faster, anyone who isn't a fool knows that this continent holds enormous investment potential.

Especially after Beijing's successful bid for the Olympics, it has attracted more and more attention throughout the country.

The foundation for economic take-off has been laid.

Foreign capital will increasingly turn to the domestic market, investing in various domestic industries—specifically, those that have already been opened up.

Not all industries in our country are open to foreign investment. Some industries are absolutely not allowed to be privately invested in, let alone handed over to foreign capital.

For example, tobacco.

There is indeed an increasing number of foreign capitalists going to China, and executives like Lee Efra have indeed invested a lot in China in the eyes of outsiders.

These executives have invested heavily in real estate, businesses, and other sectors.

These executives even had their families move here for vacations and long-term stays.

However, the more this is the case, the more scrutiny from the outside world will come.

Wang Duoyu was well aware that if the time and place of the year-end summary meeting were too regular, it would be easy for someone to target him.

Before we get targeted, let's disrupt this pattern first.

The time may change, and the location may need to be changed as well.

Hideb is a very good place, and it could even be changed a couple of times in the future, with meetings being held in other places as well.

Zheng Baoyin knew that his uncle had already made up his mind, so he did not try to persuade him further.

When it comes to safety, no one cares more or is more afraid of dying than his uncle.

Moreover, his uncle is a scientist who is engaged in technological research and development, so he will definitely be able to come up with more high-tech solutions.

These high-tech technologies are probably unheard of by ordinary people.

However, it is very effective at dealing with those prying eyes.

The two chatted in the study for quite a while before ending their conversation.

The next day, Wang Yifei saw the videotape of "The Lord of the Rings" and was quite surprised.

She opened it and looked at it while she was eating breakfast.

Then she couldn't take her eyes off it.

Because the movie opens with scenes of Jiuzhaigou and other places, and she knows Jiuzhaigou very well.

She had just visited Jiuzhaigou this month to see what it's like in winter.

So she immediately recognized that the movie "The Lord of the Rings" was filmed in Jiuzhaigou.

"Sissi, is this a new movie? A Hollywood film?"

While eating breakfast, Wang Jun'an suddenly asked.

"I don't know. I saw this movie box in the cabinet and put it in to watch."

At this moment, Wang Duoyu came out of the bathroom.

"Hey, I was just taking a shower and you guys went to watch a movie?"

It's currently -20 or -30 degrees Celsius outside, but exercising in the early morning is still a must.

However, Wang Duoyu did not exercise outdoors, but indoors.

Harbin Institute of Technology has indoor sports facilities, and several of them.

He took a car back to take a shower after exercising.

In just a short while, Wang Yifei and the others had already started watching the movie.

"Dad, did Cousin Baoyin bring this movie back?"

"You're so smart. Take your time watching. This movie is very long, it's three hours long."

"Is it that good-looking?"

"I haven't seen it, but your cousin Baoyin said that this movie is very popular in the United States right now, and it has already grossed more than $400 million in just five days."

Wow!
Wang Yifei and the other children were all amazed.

If possible, they all want to go to the cinemas in the United States to watch movies and experience it for themselves.

Unfortunately, they are Wang Duoyu's children, so going to the Americans is definitely not an option.

While the kids were watching the movie, Wang Duoyu wasn't idle either.

After breakfast, he went off to get busy.

Now that it has been confirmed that this year's summary meeting will be held in Hidab, many preparations need to be made in advance.

Fortunately, Want Want Group is now not only financially strong, but also has accumulated a considerable amount of technological products.

While categorizing and organizing all of Want Want Group's technology products, Wang Duoyu was also thinking about whether there were any areas he had overlooked.

It took him more than a week to finally get everything arranged.

He not only needed to make Americans and other foreigners know that he was in China, but he also needed to convince Lu Genrong and his group that he was still in China.

The matter of going abroad is only known to senior executives of Want Want Group; there is no need for others to know.

At the same time, he didn't want Liu Xiaoli and the others to worry, so they didn't need to know about it.

Only by deceiving your own people can you deceive others.

This is the safest approach.

With the plan finalized, things became much simpler.

Lunar New Year's Eve in 1995 was on January 30th, which came very quickly.

Therefore, the year-end summary meeting will definitely be held in early January.

It's very close to the beginning of January.

Late December, magnetic plasma engine project department.

"You're saying the turbine blades are deformed, right?"

Wang Duoyu looked seriously at Kong Nanjie, Li Gongnong, Liang Weiqiang and others.

The magnetic plasma engine project was launched in the first half of 1990. At that time, Wang Duoyu recruited more than 1,300 people from universities across the country to be responsible for the research and development of the project.

We've reached a critical juncture, but unexpectedly, a problem has arisen.

"Yes, Professor!"

Kong Nanjie looked ashamed, but said very seriously:
"We conducted tests based on your design, and all the data were normal, including in the computer simulation. However, during the actual wind tunnel test, the turbine blades twisted and deformed, so we immediately terminated the test."

"We reviewed the incident afterward and confirmed that the deformation was likely caused by excessively high temperatures, but..."

Wang Duoyu understood what the other party meant: high temperature and high pressure were inevitable requirements, and this could not be changed.

Because the environment faced by the magnetic plasma engine is very complex, if it cannot pass certain high temperature and high pressure environment tests, then the engine will be rejected before it enters the flight test phase.

The turbine blades of this engine were developed and produced by the Red Star Group, and they should have reached their limit.

Materials research and development is not an easy task.

Therefore, to pass this test, the design needs to be changed.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Duoyu then said:

"Immediately suspend this experiment. Your entire team must review all your operational procedures again and again."

"I will have a new design proposal in a week. At that time, you need to make sure that my design proposal is without problems."

Kong Nanjie immediately said, "If the plan is sound but turbine blade deformation still occurs, should we contact the Red Star Group?"

"Well, we'll talk about that later. Let's finish the work at hand first."

After leaving the magnetic plasma engine project, Wang Duoyu began to ponder how to solve this technical problem.

Unexpectedly, Professor Li Xingbang called to say that the Ginkgo Leaf Triple-Engine Fighter Project had run into trouble.

What exactly happened to Professor Li?

"The laboratory explosion killed and injured many people!"

Wang Duoyu's expression changed drastically in an instant.

They quickly pressed for more details.

The Ginkgo Leaf Tri-Engine Fighter Project is of paramount importance.

Everything has been fine until now, so why is there a problem at this critical juncture?

After some questioning, Li Xingbang only gave a general answer.

However, Wang Duoyu would need to personally go to the project site to find out the details.

More than half an hour later, inside a laboratory base.

Wang Duoyu stared into thought as he looked at the buildings ravaged by the explosion.

The injured have been taken to the hospital by ambulance.

Firefighters have extinguished the fire.

However, the scene was in complete disarray, and the security department of the laboratory base was collecting important evidence in order to investigate the cause of the accident.

Just then, the head of the security department came to Wang Duoyu and reported on the casualties.

A total of five researchers died and sixteen people were injured.

The property loss exceeds 50 million RMB, and the exact amount is still being estimated.

The laboratory building was not severely damaged, but a lot of the experimental equipment was destroyed.

All of these devices are quite expensive.

Compared to property loss.

What pained Wang Duoyu even more was the loss of the five researchers.

"Go, have a look."

Wang Duoyu spoke up.

He wanted to see the deceased and learn more information.

But at that moment, Gao Xiuyong came out from the computing center on the other side and came to Wang Duoyu with a solemn expression to report bad news.

Their computing center lost a box of hard drives.

That hard drive contains a lot of important experimental data. If someone takes it away, it will cause huge trouble.

This news made Wang Duoyu's face turn as black as ink.

what's going on?
"No one is allowed to leave the project site before the relevant departments arrive."

After a moment's thought, Wang Duoyu suddenly said to the head of the security department:
"You need to immediately send more people to the hospital to keep an eye on those injured researchers."

"Absolutely, absolutely, you cannot let any of them escape the sight of your security department. I need them all to return unharmed, understand?"

With so many people in the entire project team, it's amazing that no one knew how the explosion happened.

It was only after the fact that such a serious matter as the hard drive was lost that we found out.

Are they all deaf and blind?

Wang Duoyu did not stay but prepared to leave.

Just then, the head of the security department received a phone call.

It is said that a wounded person at the hospital suddenly disappeared.

Almost immediately, Wang Duoyu made a decision:

"I have made the following arrangements: First, immediately arrange for surprise inspections at all airports, highway entrances, ports, train stations, and other locations."

"Second, immediately investigate the family circumstances of all R&D personnel in the laboratory, focusing on their financial situation and the health of their family members, etc."

"Third, colleagues in the special operations department, you need to cooperate and see if you have any similar case files or other relevant information."

At this moment, he was extremely angry.

Because he never expected that such a major oversight would occur in the project department he had established.

This is practically testing his patience!!!

Deep down.

Wang Duoyu had already guessed.

This is most likely the work of those lunatics across the Pacific.

As everyone knows: those who invite you to a feast will be beheaded, and those who accept you will be treated like dogs.

This is their traditional craft, and Wang Duoyu also knows this skill.

He taught the intelligence agency and other organizations a lesson some time ago.

I never expected them to be so well hidden.

It seems he has to take action, because if he doesn't retaliate, he wouldn't be Wang Duoyu.

The relevant department head nodded quickly, and the security department also sprang into action.

Wang Duoyu immediately made a phone call to Kang Yumin, asking the latter to cooperate with the matter at once.

While Wang Duoyu was dealing with this matter, someone was having coffee in a coffee shop in an ordinary house in Tokyo, Japan.

But this man was no ordinary person; he was waiting for someone to deliver the box. (End of Chapter)
