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

June 29, 1995, was an ordinary day.

However, in Times Square, New York's busiest area, people had already arrived at the Huachen Mobile flagship store on the evening of the 28th with food, bottled water, and tents, and were queuing up.

Today is the day Huachen Mobile launches its new phone.

In May, Huachen Mobile held a press conference.

At the time, the news was everywhere, all about this company.

In fact, it was mentioned at the Want Want Group's year-end meeting that a press conference could be held in March this year.

However, due to various factors, it had to be postponed until May.

It's June 29th now, and today is the day Huachen mobile phones are launched.

Previously, it was a pre-order, and many people have already come to the flagship store to experience this phone.

It's incredibly powerful; it's a flip phone with a camera that boasts two megapixels, something most phones can't achieve.

Only Huachen phones can achieve two megapixels when a camera is placed inside a mobile phone.

However, other mobile phone brands, such as Huaxin, previously only had 300,000 pixels, and it will take time for them to achieve a megapixel camera.

Why are Huachen phones so awesome?
Given their acquisition of Canon and the fact that Huachen Mobile already possessed a very strong technical team, it's quite normal that they were able to achieve such a technological breakthrough.

A Facebook reporter arrived at Huachen Mobile's flagship store in Times Square, New York, at 3 a.m. on the 29th for an interview.

"Sir, what brings you here with a tent?"

"Look, do you see this? I'm here to buy a Huachen phone. I pre-ordered it back in May, and it's absolutely perfect."

Wow, what time did you arrive to queue?

"I arrived around 8 PM last night, but I was still too late and could only be twelfth in line."

The reporter was immediately stunned.

I arrived the night before to queue, but I still couldn't get first place.

This is simply unbelievable.

Are Huachen phones really that amazing?

In fact, Facebook's reporter was well aware of this, because she was also present at the Huachen mobile phone launch event and witnessed the grand occasion firsthand.

This flip phone is very stylish and avant-garde in terms of design, and it also features a smooth operating system, network functions, and most importantly, a two-megapixel camera.

To be honest, this is a mobile phone that integrates functions such as SLR camera, making calls, sending text messages, and internet entertainment, so it is natural that it is popular among young people.

Especially for girls, which girl who loves beauty wouldn't want to own a new phone like this?

As the sun rises, the 7 or 8 a.m. rush hour arrives, and Times Square, which had been quiet all night, suddenly comes alive.

Many urban white-collar workers, upon exiting subway or bus stations, immediately see queues stretching for thousands of meters.

It’s too shocking!

And the line continues to grow as more and more people arrive near Times Square and join the queue.

At this time, many reporters who had heard the news began to conduct interviews, carrying their cameras and microphones.

However, related news was already available on Facebook's news portal.

So we can make a rough guess about how well Huachen mobile phones are selling today.

Meanwhile, long lines also formed outside flagship stores in other major North American cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, and San Francisco.

In many cities such as London, Birmingham, Manchester, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, around the same time, many consumers lined up outside Huachen Mobile's flagship stores in these cities.

Since the Huachen mobile phone launch event last month, many people have already signed up to pre-order the phone.

Taking Hong Kong as an example, as of today, the number of pre-orders has exceeded 200,000. These people have already paid and all that's needed is for the goods to be delivered.

The entire population of Hong Kong is only a little over six million.

But in just one month, the number of pre-orders for the phone exceeded 200,000, which is simply terrifying.

To put this in perspective, a Huachen mobile phone costs 1,989 US dollars, making it a truly high-end phone.

It's ridiculously expensive!
In Hong Kong dollars, based on the exchange rate, it is equivalent to 1,800 US dollars.

However, the price in China is much cheaper, equivalent to $1,300.

However, some functions are removed in the domestic version, so it's normal that the price is cheaper.

That's not the point. The current situation is that Huachen mobile phones are making a strong comeback.

Other brands, such as Huaxin Mobile, were also "ambushed" and are discussing how to deal with such a crisis.

Global capital is watching closely, all wanting to see how much money Huachen Mobile will ultimately make.

On the lakeside path of the Weizigou Campus of Harbin Institute of Technology in Harbin, the "Ice City".

Wang Yifei was playing with her friends.

"Oh no, the zombies are coming!"

Wang Yifei put on a zombie-style braces and then started hopping around like a zombie.

Since she had a zombie face anyway, she felt she did a pretty good job of playing the role.

Her friends scattered and ran away immediately, as if they were really frightened.

A group of little kids were having a great time, and their laughter carried far.

Many college students passing by smiled knowingly upon seeing this scene.

Because they all realized that Wang Yifei was Professor Wang's daughter.

Many college students, especially those in the mathematics department, dream of becoming Wang Duoyu's student.

After all, at Harbin Institute of Technology, everyone knows that becoming Wang Duoyu's student is practically a guaranteed path to success.

Leaving aside the four Fields Medal winners—Yang Nianzhen, Maxim, Yorkz, and Bocherz—Wang Duoyu's other students are also top-notch.

Unfortunately, most students are just ordinary people.

The Harbin Institute of Technology library contains many top-notch martial arts manuals. If you learn them, you could easily earn at least tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan a year, if not become Wang Duoyu's student.

Unfortunately, they could understand the preface, but they couldn't understand the table of contents.

Because the main text is entirely composed of formulas.

For example, a book written by Qian Xuesen: Engineering Cybernetics.

Everyone knows this book is a top-notch martial arts manual, but unfortunately, no one can learn it.

It's all equations and formulas, how do I understand it?

The gap between ordinary people and geniuses is enormous.

"Wang Qianqian, it's time to come home for dinner."

At this moment, her third brother, Wang Junkang, came out from the island in the middle of the lake and shouted.

At that time, communication still relied on shouting.

Wang Yifei didn't bring her phone with her, and there was no need for it, since she would never go out alone.

For example, she is playing with her friends by the lake right now, and Mu Xiaowu and Luo Yuzhong are standing not far away.

With the two of them around, Wang Yifei won't get lost even on the Harbin Institute of Technology campus.

"Okay," Wang Yifei replied.

She then waved goodbye to her friends and quickly ran home.

In the living room of the villa, Wang Duoyu had just finished washing his hands and sat down at the dining table when Wang Yifei rushed over, wanting to eat. He scolded her, "Qianqian, look at you, you're all sweaty. Go wash your hands and face."

Liu Xiaoli added from the side:
"You're such a grown-up, yet you're still so playful. I think you should give up on your dream of becoming a singer or actor. You probably won't even get into university."

"Mom, what should we do if my sister doesn't get into university?"

Wang Duoyu suddenly interjected:
"Second brother, if your sister doesn't get into university, let her roast sweet potatoes. Remember to patronize her business when she does."

Haha!

Wang Yifei, who came out of the restroom, was immediately displeased:
"Dad, how can you belittle your own daughter like that?"

“I’m not belittling you. Look at your own face. You can just wipe it off haphazardly. Your mother said you’re playful, and she’s right.”

"Your mother and I have tried to teach you countless times, but you don't listen, you don't understand, you don't do it, you do it wrong, you don't correct it, and you're not convinced when you do correct it. So what do you want from us?"

One sentence, and it was the final blow!

Wang Yifei, however, was not sullen. Instead, she asked her father to repeat it so she could remember it.

"Wang Yifei, a bad pen is worse than a good memory. You should write things down with paper and pen. Taking good notes is the key to learning. Confucius said that reviewing what you've learned helps you understand new things."

Her older brother suggested.

This was a good suggestion, and Wang Yifei took it to heart.

So she didn't bother eating, but went to the bathroom first, washed her face again, and dried it with a towel.

In Harbin at the end of June, the daytime temperature was still quite high.

Given that Wang Yifei was running around everywhere, it's normal for her to be covered in sweat, so she needed to quickly wash up.

Then she ran back to her room, took out her notebook, and wrote down what her father had just said.

Seeing her taking notes so seriously, Wang Duoyu and the others shook their heads and chuckled.

Whether it's just for show or not, Wang Yifei is indeed changing.

She has become like this ever since our last conversation.

Wearing zombie braces and pretending to be a zombie is her favorite thing to do, because not only is it fun, but it can also scare her friends.

Recently, zombie-themed films and TV series have suddenly become popular again in Hong Kong and Taiwan, with several new productions emerging.

So Wang Yifei took advantage of this opportunity and started playing this little game.

In fact, her father had suggested that she pretend to be a character from Dream of the Red Chamber.

The 1987 version of Dream of the Red Chamber is considered a classic work.

However, those were all adult actors. In the TV series "Dream of the Red Chamber," the reality was that when Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu were deeply in love, they were only eleven or twelve years old.

Wang Yifei, who is now eight years old, looks about the same age as a ten or eleven-year-old child.

So it's perfectly acceptable for her to play Lin Daiyu from Dream of the Red Chamber.

However, she probably couldn't capture the essence of Lin Daiyu's character.

After Wang Yifei finished recording, when she returned for dinner, her father was already watching the news on TV, watching very intently.

Tonight's evening news reported on the collapse of a Sampoong Department Store in Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea.

It resulted in 501 deaths and 937 injuries.

With such significant news, Liu Xiaoli has once again become a news commentator:

"Are there so many shoddy construction projects abroad? It's terrifying that such an accident could happen in a department store, a place where people gather."

As Wang Duoyu summarized: Our lives are very happy and fulfilling, while people abroad are living in dire straits.

Therefore, whenever there is such a disaster news from abroad, it is always amplified.

Wang Duoyu remained silent.

This collapse was likely caused more by human error than by other factors.

However, whether it was a shoddy construction project or there are other reasons is still under investigation.

Since Want Want Group owns supermarkets and department stores like these, news like the one in Seoul should serve as a warning to its executives.

For example, Target and Walmart are companies wholly owned or invested in by Want Want Group.

In the event of such a safety incident, losing money is a minor issue; the real problem is the damage to the brand's reputation.

Therefore, it is essential to ensure that similar incidents do not occur with any of the brands under its umbrella; otherwise, the responsible parties will be severely punished.

The very next day, Wang Duoyu received a call from Wiles.

His paper has been approved and is ready for publication.

"Okay, I know."

He wasn't surprised to hear that answer.

After driving to the project base codenamed Black Spade K, Wang Duoyu got out of the car and asked Yuan Zuliang and his men to arrange for people to keep watch for any movement within a five-kilometer radius.

He then turned around and entered the experimental building of the project.

Yuan Zuliang and his group did not go in with them because it was safe enough inside.

It's important to know that this project base, codenamed King of Spades, has been established for over four years, and it has been fully operational for over two years.

Both inside and outside the project site, the entire base boasts the world's most advanced security system.

It includes advanced technologies such as drones, radar, and anti-drone systems, as well as patrol teams.

Even an animal the size of a fly that approaches the project site can be identified as male or female.

This base is the anti-gravity engine project that Wang Duoyu established in June 1991.

At the beginning of its establishment, Wang Duoyu only assigned Rong Guangxia, Li Jun, and Li Jianshu to complete the understanding of the eight papers on the Hodge Conjecture and the Riemann Hypothesis.

So when Wiles called him to say that the third paper on the Riemann Hypothesis had passed review and would soon be published, it naturally didn't cause him any stir.

Four years ago, he had already proven the Riemann Hypothesis, and only four years later has he published his third paper.

There are also a fourth and a fifth paper.

Once these papers are published, it is also necessary to ensure that there are top mathematicians abroad who can understand the eight papers on the Riemann Hypothesis and the Hodge Hypothesis before it is possible to further discover the application of anti-gravity engine technology.

That's even more difficult.

By the time they find out these things, it will probably be many years later.

Perhaps by then Wang Duoyu will have already developed the anti-gravity engine.

Wang Duoyu now possesses great wealth and is surrounded by talented people.

Americans may have the world's top financial talent, as well as a considerable number of scientific research talents.

But Wang Duoyu has more people.

Take financial talent as an example. Countless financial professionals have joined the financial companies under the Want Want Group, bringing Wang Duoyu hundreds of billions of dollars in profits every year.

The company, Velociraptor Fund alone, possesses world-leading high-frequency computing technology, making it arguably the most advanced entity in the field.

This is one of the key reasons why the Velociraptor Fund has always been the most profitable company under Maple Leaf Holdings.

In addition, the many researchers that Wang Duoyu "recruited" from Moscow will become the cornerstone of Want Want Group's rapid rise.

Most importantly, he has the support of the entire country.

Therefore, it is to promote the rapid progress of the Nantianmen Project.

We should focus on promoting the implementation of cutting-edge technologies or experimental equipment projects such as anti-gravity engines, large hadron colliders, and controlled nuclear fusion.

He, Wang Duoyu, has even greater core strength to support him.

"How did it go? Did the new materials we recently received pass the test?"

After entering the laboratory base, Wang Duoyu looked at Rong Guangxia, Zhang Jiale, Hou Wendong, and others and asked them questions.

The anti-gravity engine project not only has Rong Guangxia and his two other top mathematical talents in charge of the overall situation, but also has top talents in physics, chemistry and materials science such as Hou Wendong, Zhang Jiale and Mei Jianjun.

The entire project laboratory has more than 500 people.

Rong Guangxia, Li Jun, and Li Jianshu each led a mathematical calculation group, which was the core technical team of the anti-gravity engine.

It provides the most important mathematical models and computing power support for the anti-gravity engine.

There is also a technical team composed of top talents in physics and other fields, such as Hou Wendong.

Only through collaboration can we gradually make progress and solve a series of technical problems.

Of course, the most important person in the whole project is Wang Duoyu.

Because without him, this project would not have been possible.

Not to mention the annual expenditure of at least 5 billion RMB on human resources, materials research and development, laboratory energy consumption, and other aspects, the core technology of the anti-gravity engine was entirely solved by Wang Duoyu.

For example, if Rong Guangxia and his team couldn't complete the mathematical model design within six months, Wang Duoyu could provide technical support and solve the problem in just half a day.

Another example is the crucial material development in anti-gravity engines.

Wang Duoyu could also arrange for Red Star Group, Magic Research Institute and other related institutions to complete the corresponding research and development tasks.

Therefore, Wang Duoyu was able to successfully complete technologies that others could not.

Because it is very simple, Wang Duoyu needs to develop an anti-gravity engine, which is very important for his next scientific research project.

Take controlled nuclear fusion technology, for example.

This thing would require extremely powerful materials to possibly envelop the sun.

This is the artificial sun project that Wang Duoyu most wants to complete.

When nuclear fusion explodes, the internal temperature is comparable to that of the sun, reaching hundreds of millions of degrees, which ordinary materials simply cannot withstand.

Wang Duoyu could design other solutions, such as the tokamak model, which is very popular in the scientific community now.

He could then redesign the model to make the device last for more than five seconds.

Inside the underground laboratory in Hidab, Somalia, the artificial sun project is nearing completion. It is expected that in a few years, other models designed by Wang Duoyu will be available for testing.

The tokamak model is a device that uses a toroidal magnetic field to confine high-temperature plasma to achieve nuclear fusion.

Its internal core structure includes a vacuum chamber, a superconductor, and a heating system.

However, none of the known materials on Earth can currently confine high-temperature plasma for more than half an hour using a tokamak model device.

Therefore, while having Red Star Group, Magic Research Institute and other institutions continue to develop related materials, Wang Duoyu was also actively looking for other solutions.

For example, we could build an anti-gravity engine to send spaceships to places beyond Earth, such as the Moon and Mars.

See if it's possible to find a more suitable alternative metal or non-metal material.

After all, Earth is a planet with life, and there are only so many known elements, not many elements that have not yet been discovered.

Synthesizing new elements artificially is possible, but those are all unknowns and involve risks.

Rather than waiting to die, why not venture deep into the stars? Perhaps a miracle will happen.
"No, the data doesn't meet the lab's requirements; we've returned almost half."

Hou Wendong said calmly.

Wang Duoyu was not disappointed upon hearing this.

Because he knew very well what he was doing.

If it were really that simple, then we would have started to have doubts that day.

Experimentation is the sole criterion for testing truth.

Any technology on Earth is the result of experience gained through continuous trial and error.

Therefore, the end of science is metaphysics. Although this makes sense, Wang Duoyu will not regard it as truth.

To truly achieve this goal, time is still needed.

He firmly believes that time is on his side.

"Okay, let's discuss this and see if there are any new design options. After modifying the model, can we make this material pass the experiment?"

Upon hearing Wang Duoyu's words, Rong Guangxia and the others all sprang into action.

We need to design a new model scheme, which is a huge project because it requires completely scrapping and starting over from the previous scheme.

Then, it is not an easy task to innovate on the basis of the previous design.

But Rong Guangxia and his team were full of confidence and believed they could definitely design it.

Because a year and a half ago, after Rong Guangxia and his team thoroughly understood the eight proof papers of the Hodge Conjecture and the Riemann Hypothesis, Wang Duoyu immediately led them to launch the anti-gravity engine project in all aspects.

A year and a half has passed, but there are already as many as eight design proposals.

This is an incredibly rapid pace of experimentation.

Of course, without Wang Duoyu, it would have been impossible to achieve such a speed.

Wang Duoyu can create several design schemes by himself, and each scheme takes no more than a week to complete.

If it were Rong Guangxia and his team, it would take at least six months, or even a year, for them to design a plan together.

This is the difference between a top scientist and an ordinary genius, although Wang Duoyu should not be considered a top scientist.

Because he is among the very best of the best scientists, without exception.

After three busy days, Wang Duoyu led them to design another plan.

After that, he didn't stay in the laboratory any longer, but let Rong Guangxia and the others do their own work.

North America, New York.

"cheers!"

Brian Ward, beaming with joy, raised a toast with the two portly white men.

This is the venue for the anniversary celebration party of First Citibank, a shareholder behind the Federal Reserve, who just made up a reason to hold the party.

The main purpose was not to socialize, but to celebrate Brian Ward's success, and also to take this opportunity to discuss who to deal with next.

Yes, the FBI's dismantling of nearly $10 billion in counterfeit currency in the Saudi Empire has provided the Federal Reserve with a great deal of inspiration.

They are not necessarily fixated on solving the Super Dollar counterfeit money case.

Instead, they 'harvest' other places in this way.

The super-dollar factories might make a fortune, but the Federal Reserve might not necessarily suffer huge losses.

They can only use this self-deceptive method to hypnotize themselves now.

Anyway, they only care about profits and don't care too much about anything else.

The United States is deploying its military power globally, using finance and economics as a scythe to reap global wealth, and using the US dollar as a backing to bind the global economy.

Against this backdrop, financial giants such as the Morgan Group, Rockefeller Group, DuPont Group, and Mellon Group emerged.

Naturally, one can easily earn a huge amount of money.

While Brian Ward was still at the party, receiving praise and compliments from everyone.

A small meeting was underway in a luxurious room next to the party venue.

"Old Morgan, who do you think we should target next?"

"John, you bastard, stop asking me. Don't you already have the answer yourself?"

John Rockefeller, upon hearing this, was not angry, but smiled and said nothing more.

To be honest, what we're doing right now is actually very simple: find a big, fat pig, and then we can start making our move.

But there are many big, fat pigs, so some arrangements need to be made before taking action.

We can't just start doing it haphazardly, can we?
They have a wide range of options, such as Japan, Russia, South Africa, and Brazil.

Japan, in particular, has six major zaibatsu families with vast wealth overseas.

If we can catch them red-handed, we can definitely make them bleed a lot.

This is more direct and ruthless than financial weapons.

It also leaves the Sumitomo family and other conglomerates speechless.

After all, counterfeit bills like the Super Dollar have become rampant worldwide.

The Federal Reserve seems to ignore it, simply letting the National Security Agency, the Intelligence Agency, and the Bureau of Investigation get involved, but after all these years, the case remains unsolved.

This whole mess has left many people unsure of what to do.

William DuPont spoke up at this moment:

"I'd prefer to target Brazil in South America. Although they're the dominant power in the Southern Hemisphere, they're also one of the places where the US dollar is most abundant."

"In addition, many Japanese families have purchased land in multiple cities in South America, as well as numerous banks. I think this is a good excuse to take a hit on these big fat sheep."

South America is indeed one of the places where the US dollar is most abundant.

This is not only because gangs are rampant here, but also because of all sorts of shady dealings, such as gold, drugs, human trafficking, organ trading, and gambling.

All of these factors provided an extremely stable and solid foundation for the emergence of the super dollar.

If it weren't for so many shady and corrupt elements, to be honest, even a super-rich American would be nothing more than a petty thief, easily dealt with.

For example, office number 39 on the Silla Peninsula.

This office is also incredibly impressive; the counterfeit money they produce is remarkably realistic. However, due to its poor sales channels, it falls short of the Super Dollar Factory.

The counterfeit money produced by Office 39 could at most amount to a few billion US dollars.

However, that currently unknown super dollar factory has already generated hundreds of billions of dollars, and even generated over a hundred billion dollars in the first half of this year alone.

If this counterfeit money ring continues to operate so rampantly in the second half of the year, then this year's super dollar will see an additional $200 billion in new dollars.

Such a massive amount of base money poses a very serious challenge to the hegemonic status of the US dollar.

William DuPont was also very envious, a classic case of wanting more than he wanted.

The Federal Reserve itself prints massive amounts of dollars, even more recklessly than a super-powerful dollar factory.

They used to use the cover of printing large amounts of US dollars to reap global wealth, which is their old practice.

However, the emergence of the super dollar, which previously caused them a lot of trouble, is now a refreshing surprise, giving them another way to reap global wealth.

"I also think it's pretty good; South America is a great option."

The others spoke up, expressing their agreement.

They didn't have any objections. After all, it wasn't like cutting off their own flesh, so why should they care?

One of the defining characteristics of human beings is their tendency to repeat themselves.

It's a herd mentality, which is normal.

Rather than wasting brain cells thinking of a lucrative idea that might be rejected, it's better to just be a broken record.

Anyway, their profits won't be small.

So the matter was approved, and old Morgan then arranged for someone to inform Brian Ward to carry out the order.

They then talked about the hacking incident that happened some time ago.

"We can't find the person, and we have no idea who did it."

Nikolaus Mellon's brows furrowed tightly:
"Do you think it's possible that Facebook or Amazon were behind this?"

Everyone present immediately understood, but no one spoke up right away.

Because Nicholas Mellon's desire to take action against Facebook or Amazon is nothing new.

Several years ago, he had been very envious of these two internet giants.

These two giants are now even larger.

For example, once Facebook goes public, it will inevitably surpass Yahoo in the original timeline, and its market value will break through 100 billion US dollars in no time.

This is simply because Facebook now controls multiple internet sectors, including portals, photo-sharing websites, and social platforms, and is a leading player in these areas.

These top giants already have very high advertising revenues.

For the time being, Facebook does not lack development funds, so its IPO plans have been repeatedly postponed.

After all, going public is just a way to reap market wealth, so let's forget about it now; there's no need for that.

We'll go public in a year or two.

If nothing unexpected happens, then around the turn of the millennium, the internet winter will inevitably arrive.

We can reap the rewards then.

Anyway, there's no rush. Wang Duoyu has plenty of ways to make money, so there's no need to push Facebook out.

Launching too early may not be a good thing.

It can't be too late either, after all, there are too many wolves and tigers around.

Nicolas Mellon coveted Facebook and Amazon. If he could gain control of these two internet giants, it would be a significant step forward for the Mellon family.

So he was in a hurry.

However, this matter cannot be resolved simply by him being in a hurry.

Nicholas Mellon isn't the only giant eyeing companies like Facebook and Amazon.

Even Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, and the Rothschild family were very envious.

No qualified capitalist can resist the temptation.

After all, both Facebook and Amazon have the potential to become internet trusts.

They are currently an amazing internet unicorn company.

"It cannot be completely certain, nor can it be completely denied."

Morgan suddenly spoke up:
"I've heard that these two companies have the largest and most elite teams of network engineers in the world. They have built an extremely secure internet shield, making it very difficult for top hackers from the outside world to infiltrate these two companies."

"However, they have always claimed to be cybersecurity engineers, not hackers, and they do not intrude into other companies or government agencies."

"Besides, these two companies are backed by European conglomerates, and they're not to be underestimated."

"So if we want to deal with them, we probably need to come up with solid evidence and end this quickly and decisively."

Clearly, he was also itching to take action.

These are Facebook and Amazon, who wouldn't want them?

William DuPont, John Rockefeller, Nicholas Mellon, and others nodded in agreement.

The topic then shifted back to Huachen mobile phones, which have been the hottest topic recently.

Do you know how many units this phone has actually sold so far?

Everyone looked at William DuPont with curiosity.

He simply uttered a number, leaving everyone in the luxurious room speechless.

How is this possible?
But in fact, this is the reality.

Huachen mobile phones have sold 5.8 million units worldwide to date.

It's only been a short time since the press conference, so how could there be such exaggerated data?

Furthermore, Huachen Mobile is just a new brand company with no brand premium, so how could it achieve such exaggerated data?

That phone only had two major advantages: a flip design and a two-megapixel camera. In other technologies, it wasn't much ahead of other mobile phone brands.

So how exactly did they do it?

With 5.8 million units sold, and assuming an average selling price of $1,600 per phone, that translates to $9.2 billion in revenue.

And this is just the beginning.

Therefore, Huachen mobile phones will be the next profit hotspot for European consortia.

Unfortunately, these old conglomerates couldn't even get a taste of the profits; the lucrative mobile phone market was snatched away by European conglomerates.

William DuPont's interest in Huachen mobile phones must be because he covets the brand.

That's why.

So what's the next step?
It's either cooperation or competition.

Given the nature of European capital, they certainly won't easily back down and give in.

Competition is highly likely; cooperation is out of the question.

Previously, they had all directly acquired Canon instead of partnering with it, so European conglomerates also like to monopolize things.

"By the way, why do you think European conglomerates are always able to develop so many excellent technological products? Are they really that farsighted?"

Morgan's brow furrowed into a deep frown.

Having lived for so many years, what storms hasn't he weathered?

Leaving aside World War II, North America also experienced a surge in banking after the war, as well as the ups and downs of global trade, three oil crises, and withdrawal from the Bretton Woods system.

The Plaza Accord of the 1980s, the 1987 US stock market crash, the bursting of Japan's bubble economy in the 1990s, the fall of the polar bear, the Gulf War, and the Black Hawk Down incident in Somalia.

Having weathered so many storms, how could a small Huachen mobile phone possibly stir up any big waves?

The problem is that Huachen Mobile is backed by European capital.

This European capital is unyielding, refusing to go to the island and unwilling to become one of them.

Unfortunately, there's no way to suppress them, since they're not weak either. They've also allied themselves with California's military-industrial complex and Texas rednecks.

This meant that whenever J.P. Morgan and his associates faced European capital, they were like dogs trying to bite a turtle, completely at a loss.

"Yes, I'd like to know too!"

John D. Rockefeller echoed this sentiment.

When the Rockefeller family first rose to prominence, it was through oil; they were an oil trust, controlling over 90 percent of the oil production and sales in the United States.

The Rockefeller family decides the price of automobile fuel.

However, the Rockefeller family is no longer as glorious as it once was. The ancestors of families like Morgan, DuPont, and Mellon were nothing more than appendages or employees of the Rockefeller family.

Nowadays, they are on equal footing with the Rockefeller family.

Life is full of ups and downs, and it's really hard to talk about them.

The Rothschild family was quite wise; they created the Federal Reserve but kept themselves in the background, letting their shareholders, such as the Rockefeller family, handle things on the sidelines.

That's why the North American branch of the Rothschild family is considered the most powerful.
"If you ask me, we should just take down this company."

Nicholas Mellon suddenly spoke up:
"Hwachen Mobile sounds like a mobile phone brand from some major country in the Far East. Why do European capital companies like to partner with that country so much? Aren't they afraid at all?"

"Heh, if it were you, would you be scared?"

William DuPont gave a cold laugh.

European capital is very willing to make money if it can establish better relations, gain more trust, and secure more investment in a major country in the Far East.

Moreover, Huachen Mobile, which they invested in, is clearly a very powerful company.

It's possible that this was orchestrated by European capital itself, with investment even coming from a major country in the Far East.
