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

In November 1995, on the outskirts of Harbin, at an empty airport.

Wang Duoyu was standing in front of an open space, and in the distance a large passenger plane was taxiing.

This aircraft is a product that Pioneer Technology Manufacturing Plant spent twelve years developing.

Pioneer Technology Manufacturing Plant was established at the end of 1983. At that time, Shu Biaoyin was in charge of the entire factory, but at that time there was only one aircraft engine project and an inconspicuous noise reduction technology project.

Pioneer Technology Manufacturing Plant gradually rose to prominence through its noise reduction technology project.

With subsequent continuous investment, all the projects for domestically produced passenger aircraft were finally completed.

However, Pioneer Technology Manufacturing Plant was completely acquired by Wang Duoyu in 1993 and is not currently a company belonging to Harbin Institute of Technology.

Of course, this is just a matter of transferring money from one hand to the other, and outsiders have no right to comment.

After twelve years, China's domestically produced passenger aircraft is finally about to complete its test flights and can begin mass production and sales.

Before long, the plane taxied and arrived in front of Wang Duoyu and his group.

This enormous machine, parked in front of me, exudes an overwhelming sense of intimidation.

Even though Wang Duoyu was used to seeing airplanes, he was still very excited at this moment because this was an airplane that belonged entirely to our country, and his feelings were definitely completely different.

"Professor, please!"

Qi Dongfang respectfully invited Wang Duoyu to board the plane.

"I've flown on this plane many times, traveling to places like Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai, Kunming, and WLMQ."

"Oh, have you been to LS or Shangri-La?"

Wang Duoyu stepped forward, slowly climbed the ladder, and said with a smile.

"I haven't been there before, I'll try again next time." Qi Dongfang shook his head, then added:
"However, I have never flown on this plane to LS, but it has flown there many times, crossing the Himalayas."

Anyone who has flown a plane knows that flying at high altitudes is extremely dangerous.

Especially the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where the altitude is often four or five thousand meters, and there are often mountains of six or seven thousand meters, as well as snow-capped mountains of seven or eight thousand meters.

Flying in such a place truly tests a pilot's skills.

"There will be a chance!"

Wang Duoyu smiled but didn't say anything.

The test pilot of this aircraft is highly experienced. He was a retired ace pilot from the Air Force, with a very long flight time and top-notch physical condition.

Wang Duoyu was naturally not afraid of flying on such an aircraft.

Wang Duoyu was traveling to Beijing to attend a meeting and take the opportunity to experience flying on the XF1995 domestically produced large passenger aircraft.

After all, this is a product manufactured by a company he has poured a lot of effort into, so of course he pays close attention to it.

The plane took off smoothly and quickly, heading towards the capital.

A little over an hour later, we landed safely at Beijing Capital International Airport.

how to say?

Very good, no different from his private jet.

If there's anything different, it's that private jets have more luxurious interiors.

The interior of the XF1995 aircraft was relatively simple.

Fortunately, Wang Duoyu had experienced hardship before, so he didn't feel anything about it.

As long as the aircraft's performance characteristics are not those of Boeing and Airbus aircraft, there is no problem.

After getting off the plane, Wang Duoyu then said to Qi Dongfang:
"After this, you should start contacting major domestic airlines to see which companies want to purchase our large passenger planes. There's no need to assign them any procurement tasks directly; let them choose for themselves."

He has great confidence in the XF1995 model large passenger aircraft, and given its price advantage, he is sure that other airlines will be willing to place an order.

Leaving aside airlines like Xiamen Airlines, I would definitely support China Northern Airlines.

"Professor, so we're not going to use foreign airlines?"

Qi Dongfang asked curiously, and Wang Duoyu smiled and nodded:
"No rush. As long as our products are good, they will naturally come to us. Right now, we are prioritizing supplying domestic airlines."

"Given its superior performance, including low fuel consumption and low noise, along with a very attractive price, I believe everyone will make the wise choice."

The labor costs at Pioneer Technology's manufacturing plant are naturally much lower than those of Airbus and Boeing.

Because every XF1995 manufactured by this company, every single component, is 100% domestically produced.

In other words, the cost is really very low.

With such advantages, Wang Duoyu has no trouble selling his fish.

"Okay, Professor, I understand," Qi Dongfang nodded.

After leaving the airport, Wang Duoyu went straight into the city and arrived at the Wenjin Street compound without resting for a moment.

"Boss, what's going on?"

Upon meeting, Wang Duoyu asked with a serious expression.

Lu Genrong, standing before me, also had a very serious expression on his face, and he merely nodded slightly as a greeting.

"The investigation in Hong Kong has yielded results; it's true that someone wanted to harm you."

"But HKU does want to communicate with you, or rather, they really want to boost your confidence."

Wang Duoyu is a world-renowned "Emperor of Mathematics," the foremost figure in contemporary mathematics, and is referred to as "Emperor" by many top mathematicians.

It's perfectly understandable that the University of Hong Kong wants to engage in exchanges.

This is true of all world-renowned universities; they all need top scholars to be present, whether as honorary professors or visiting professors, they are all very willing to do so.

"Let's wait a few more years, this year isn't a good time."

He shook his head and refused.

It wasn't because he couldn't get away, but because there was no need to create unnecessary trouble.

Even though agents from agencies like the CIA have been drawn to Tokyo, Wang Duoyu doesn't want to take the risk; there's absolutely no need for it.

Seeing that he refused, Lu Genrong didn't say anything more.

They then started talking about the bomber project.

Wang Duoyu used the Want Want Group's channels to acquire Tu-160 bomber related technologies from abroad one after another.

Once we master the technology, we'll have bombers and transport planes.

The Y-10 is still under development in China and has not yet been developed.

The situation was relatively complicated. The Y-10 had already successfully completed its test flight in the late 1970s, but due to various issues such as funding, the development of the Y-10 aircraft was basically halted, except for a few more test flights conducted by the second aircraft.

Therefore, the conclusion is that the fully domestically produced Y-10 was never developed.

It's a pity, but there's nothing we can do about it.

Now that the bomber project has been fully launched, the transport aircraft project can also be launched.

Do we still have money?

Upon hearing that Lu Genrong wanted to develop a transport aircraft project, Wang Duoyu immediately countered with a question.

There are too many projects launched in China now, and the Nantianmen Project is one of the most expensive, along with the bomber project, etc.

Not to mention that during this year's negotiations between China and the United States, it seems that the other side is willing to sell Chinook transport helicopters to us.

Therefore, we also started the research and development and improvement of the Y-8 aircraft for transporting Chinook helicopters.

The Y-8 aircraft is based on the Su-12 design and successfully completed its maiden flight in 1974. It has a maximum payload of 20 tons and a maximum range of 5620 kilometers.

Its fuselage is 34.02 meters long, its wingspan is 38 meters, its maximum takeoff weight is 61 tons, and its cargo hold volume is 123.3 cubic meters, which can carry two trucks or 96 fully armed soldiers.

This transport aircraft, which has been used since the 1970s, has been improved into many different models. For example, anti-submarine patrol aircraft and technical reconnaissance aircraft have been developed based on the Y-8.

Therefore, there really isn't much money left in China for research in other areas.

Lu Genrong's face immediately showed worry, and he said:
"Yes, we don't have any money right now. Duoyu, do you think we should issue government bonds?"

Wang Duoyu shook his head directly:
"Boss, please don't talk to me about these things. I don't understand them, and I won't get involved."

"If you have nothing else to do, I'll be going now."

He knew exactly what he could and couldn't do.

Unlike Fang Lihe before, Lu Genrong now truly sees Wang Duoyu as a fat sheep and is desperately trying to fleece him.

It was precisely because he knew the other person's personality that he tried his best to avoid having too much contact with them.

He does love this land deeply, but he is not blindly devoted.

A country is made up of millions of families.

In the past, countless patriots who were wholeheartedly devoted to their country shouldered the heavy responsibilities of the times. After undergoing the test of blood and fire, they were reborn from the ashes, and thus the new China came into being.

but now.

Before Lu Genrong could speak, Wang Duoyu turned and walked out of the office.

The latter witnessed this, opened his mouth, and finally sighed helplessly.

Lu Genrong knew that Wang Duoyu was rich, and extremely rich at that.

When Fang Lihe was in charge, Wang Duoyu was clearly very willing to give money. For example, in the Nantianmen Project, Wang Duoyu would give money whenever he wanted, and he has been giving money for so many years.

But now, when it's Lu Genrong's turn to lead many projects, they are always temporarily shelved because he can't raise the funds.

He originally planned to plead poverty with Wang Duoyu today, hoping to squeeze some research funding out of the latter.

It turned out he was overthinking it; Wang Duoyu had no intention of continuing the conversation at all.

Ugh!
What to do now?
After leaving the Wenjin Street compound, Wang Duoyu returned to his home in Beijing.

He also called Liu Xiaoli to ask if she wanted to come to Beijing for a few days.

"Aren't you in a meeting? Will my coming over disturb you?"

"No, how about this, we go to Guangzhou? It's too cold in Harbin right now, spending the winter in Guangzhou would be a good idea."

"But don't you want your children anymore?"

"Xiaoli, how long has it been since we had some alone time together?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoli rolled her eyes, then realized that he wasn't even around.

The two were not having a video call; they were just making a phone call.

"What about Bai Doufu? Who do you plan to entrust her to?"

“She’s so clingy to you, so you definitely have to bring her to Guangzhou. It’s settled then. You fly directly from Harbin to Guangzhou, and I’ll come from Beijing. We’ll meet in Guangzhou.”

"Alright, but if Wang Yifei and the others cause trouble, you'll have to be responsible for calming them down."

There are four other children in the family. Wang Junhong and Wang Junan are like little adults and don't need to be taken care of. In fact, they don't like being controlled by adults too much.

Only Wang Junkang and Wang Yifei, the two children, require some time and effort to coax.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Duoyu stayed at home for a while before going out.

Half a day later, he met Liu Xiaoli at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport. When Bai Doufu saw him, she opened her little arms and wanted her father to hug her.

Even though he's almost two years old, he's still so clingy.

"Guangzhou is much warmer. It's already November, and the temperature here is still in the twenties."

Liu Xiaoli remarked with emotion.

The city of Harbin has already turned on its heating, and the outdoor temperature has dropped below zero, making it extremely cold.

The ancient Chinese lunar calendar, which has been passed down to this day, mentions terms like Frost's Descent, Minor Snow, and Major Snow, but these terms seem to only relate to Harbin (the "Ice City") and have little to do with Guangzhou.

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu teased Bai Doufu while saying to Lehe:
“Guangzhou in the past was known as the land of the southern barbarians. Officials who were demoted or had their property confiscated could not escape the phrase ‘exiled to Lingnan.’ So what do you think?”

"The ancient descriptions of frost and other climatic phenomena were basically based on the Central Plains region."

Liu Xiaoli said she learned something.

But she soon encountered a new problem:

"Duoyu, how come you, a math researcher, are so knowledgeable about climate and such things?"

"Is this what you call research? It's just reading a few more books for fun. If you read all twenty-four histories, you'd understand these simple truths too."

Actually, Liu Xiaoli is not illiterate; she just doesn't like reading much.

Even after so many years of marriage, she still enjoys dancing whenever she has free time, which is why she has maintained a very good figure to this day.

The couple chatted as their car drove out of the airport.

The road connecting Baiyun Airport directly to the city has been built as a highway and is paved.

The road was very flat.

Guangzhou is developing very fast, but compared with Harbin, it seems to lag behind.

Along the Pearl River in Tianhe District, there are already quite a few high-rise buildings, but the occupancy rate of these office buildings is still too low.

We still need to expand our investment attraction efforts.

There aren't many large companies in Guangzhou, and Want Want Group accounts for almost half of them.

Wang Duoyu withdrew his gaze and stopped thinking about it.

He has already provided a great deal of help for the development of Guangzhou.

Even the development of the domestic economy has been greatly accelerated because of him.

The present year 1995 is not much different from the original year 2005.

It's just missing a legitimate spot for WTO membership.

I just don't know when George Herbert will step up his game and let us smoothly enter the WTO.

Although China is now deeply involved in the global economy and has frequent trade and economic exchanges with foreign countries, it is still not as important as joining the WTO.

"Hey, Wang Duoyu, what are you thinking about? I've called you so many times and you haven't heard me?"

Liu Xiaoli glared at him with displeasure, and Bai Doufu had somehow ended up in her arms.

At this moment, the car had arrived at the Pearl River Wharf, and Ersha Island was clearly visible in the distance.

Wang Duoyu smiled as he came to his senses.

After the couple returned to their home on Ersha Island and tidied up the house briefly, Wang Yifei called them shortly afterward.

"Mom, where did you go? Why haven't you brought my little sister home yet?"

Soon, Wang Yifei learned that her mother had come to Guangzhou to spend the winter, and she was immediately unhappy.

She cried and begged to come to Guangzhou, and only stopped crying when Wang Duoyu promised to let her come over on the weekend.

Before they knew it, it was the weekend. Wang Yifei and her two siblings arrived in Guangzhou without incident, but Wang Junhong did not come along.

Zhu Ling invited him to go hiking, because she had already arrived in Harbin the day before yesterday and was staying at home.

Wang Yifei didn't have much affection for Zhu Ling, her "little mother," because they rarely met.

Unlike Wang Junhong, Zhu Ling was not only his biological mother, but they also met frequently when he was a child. Although Zhu Ling could not be considered a responsible mother, she was still his biological mother.

These blood ties are unbreakable.

"Hmm!" After listening, Wang Duoyu simply nodded and didn't say anything more.

Because Wang Junhong has grown up and is almost fifteen years old this year, he must know what he can and cannot do.

The study and villa at home are kept secret, so Yuan Zuliang and his family naturally arranged for people to help keep an eye on them.

Therefore, Wang Duoyu was not worried that Zhu Ling would wander around.

After spending some time in Guangzhou, Wang Duoyu returned to work.

Guangzhou, located in the subtropical region, is only around 10 degrees Celsius even at the end of November. Occasionally, when the sun is out during the day, the temperature will soar to over 20 degrees Celsius.

Therefore, spending the winter in Guangzhou is indeed a very good choice, as it is not that cold.

But soon, on the last day of November, it rained, and the temperature in Guangzhou plummeted to only seven or eight degrees Celsius. It felt like winter had arrived in an instant, damp and chilly, and Wang Yifei and the others caught a cold right away.

Although Wang Duoyu felt sorry for the children, they didn't want to go back to Bingcheng, so he had no choice but to send them back after the weekend.

December arrived in the blink of an eye, and news came from Bingcheng that Wang Duoyu had no choice but to return.

Hongxing Group successfully completed a research and development task for a new material, which perfectly met the requirements. This was very good news for Wang Duoyu.

While he was rushing back to Harbin, in Tokyo, Japan, the tug-of-war between the Mitsui family and the shareholders of the Federal Reserve had reached its peak.

The Mitsui family was naturally unwilling to hand over all the gold they possessed.

That's hundreds of tons of gold, how could he possibly hand it over directly?
The Morgan family and other Federal Reserve shareholders believe that this gold was loot from World War II, hidden away by the Mitsui family, and is therefore an asset of the United States.

Therefore, the Mitsui family must return the property to its rightful owner.

What about the evidence?
The Mitsui family demanded that the Federal Reserve provide evidence to prove that the gold was indeed a World War II legacy. The Federal Reserve, in turn, pressed the Mitsui family to provide evidence that the gold was not a World War II legacy.

The two sides engaged in a heated debate on this issue.

Despite the Mitsui family presenting corresponding evidence, the Federal Reserve simply does not accept it.

After all, everyone knows exactly how the Mitsui family rose to power.

At present, the Mitsui family simply cannot produce all the evidence to prove the exact origin of those hundreds of tons of gold.

The current situation is that the Mitsui family will not be able to hold on, and the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for the Mitsui family.

Because Mitsui Bank is still closed, it will not be allowed to resume normal operations until the problem of the gold source is resolved.

The Morgan family and other Federal Reserve shareholders use rather dirty tactics.

But that's normal. Hundreds of tons of gold! Once you get your hands on it, you'll make a fortune.

So this little bit of face and such is completely unimportant.

The Mitsubishi family, the Sumitomo family, and other Japanese conglomerates watching from the sidelines were all very worried.

They wanted to help, but they couldn't, because they were in a precarious situation themselves.

Interestingly, the Mitsubishi family was actually relieved that their gold had been stolen.

Since there was no profit to be made, representatives from the Rockefeller family and others ceased targeting the Mitsubishi family.

Instead, it has been targeting the Mitsui family and others.

New York, USA.

The luxurious estate, both inside and out, was covered in a blanket of white.

It snowed in New York today, and the temperature plummeted; it was very cold.

Inside the manor, the rooms were warm and cozy, with crackling fireplaces.

Morgan Sr., John Rockefeller, William DuPont, and others gathered together to warm themselves by the fire.

Although they have modern heating equipment, they prefer to use the old-fashioned charcoal fire for warmth.

"The situation in Tokyo remains deadlocked; the gold is still not in hand. Meanwhile, in South America and other regions, the intelligence agency still hasn't found any trace of the mega-dollars; it seems they've already escaped."

"Honestly, I still don't understand where the counterfeit money ring hides its factory. And how is it able to hide it so securely?"

The question that Nikolaus Mellon couldn't understand, naturally no one else could either.

However, the thought of how these old guys had been completely fooled by the counterfeit money syndicate and had lost so many counterfeit bills to them was heartbreaking.

Several hundred tons of gold, at most worth tens or hundreds of billions of US dollars.

However, the counterfeit money syndicate took advantage of the Federal Reserve's eagerness to deal with Japanese conglomerates and devised this diversionary tactic, which was truly despicable.

John Rockefeller suddenly laughed:

"I recently reread the book 'Thirty-Six Stratagems' by a major country in the Far East, and also looked at Sun Tzu's Art of War. I've had many thoughts since then."

"Do you think this counterfeit money ring might have mastered the Thirty-Six Stratagems? Or are they actually a covert operation orchestrated by some major power in the Far East?"

These words made the room even quieter, and the crackling of the charcoal fire sounded even more jarring.

The snowflakes outside the window fell softly, accumulating into a thick layer on the ground.

The snow in New York is getting heavier and heavier.

This winter is getting colder and colder.

After a long silence, old Morgan finally spoke:

"Whether the counterfeit money ring is a front for other countries is hard to say. It's too difficult for us to investigate right now because we don't even have a concrete direction yet."

"I think we should continue along the previous direction of the investigation."

"Although the situation in Tokyo is still at a stalemate, they can't hold out for long. Besides, the Japanese conglomerates already have problems, and now that we've seized the opportunity, they'll be severely injured, if not completely wiped out."

"Putting aside the issue of the World War II legacy and the question of the origin of the huge amount of gold, let's just talk about the Mitsui family, a conglomerate whose assets actually exceed one trillion US dollars. Do you believe it?"

hiss!
William DuPont, John Rockefeller, Nicholas Mellon, Robinson Steelman, and others all gasped in shock.

"Old Morgan, where did you get this information? Why are you only telling me now?"

"Robinson Stillman asked in surprise."

If the Mitsui family's total assets really exceed one trillion US dollars, then they really need to reassess Japan's zaibatsu.

It's important to know that Japan was completely looted after World War II.

On the streets of Japan in 1948, their police did not have guns and could only carry out their duties with batons.

Japan as a whole was humbled to the point of being insignificant in relation to the United States.

It wasn't until 1950 that Japan had a chance to rise again.

Even so, they were still completely suppressed by the United States.

However, from 1950 to 1995, only 45 years have passed.

It seems like a very long time, but the Mitsui family's total assets have reached the level of trillions of dollars. What does that mean?
so horrible!

A few years ago, when J.P. Morgan and his group looted Moscow, they made a simple estimate of the country's wealth, which was around 20 trillion US dollars.

The Federal Reserve earned approximately three trillion dollars from this, half of their predicted six trillion dollars.

However, the Federal Reserve has yet to determine which force was behind the missing half.

In retrospect, the Mitsui family was definitely involved, and perhaps even the biggest beneficiary.

Robinson-Stilman was originally from the powerful family behind First Citibank.

Citibank has three major shareholders: the Steelman family, the Rockefeller family, and the Rothschild family.

The Morgan family holds a relatively small stake in Citibank, making them a middle-ranking shareholder.

The Rothschild family is virtually omnipresent; they are like shadows, their presence can be seen in any company.

As a banker, Robinson Steelman immediately guessed where the Mitsui family's enormous assets came from.

But what he's more concerned about now is the meaning behind old Morgan's words at this moment.

Could it be that old Morgan couldn't crack the Mitsui family, such a tough nut to crack?
So, I'm planning to get everyone involved and work together to crack this bone?

Believe it or not, it's actually possible.

John Rockefeller, however, asked with a surprised expression:
"Morgan, this news can't be fake, can it?"

“I also have my own sources of information in Japan, and I receive reports on the assets of Japanese conglomerates every year. The Mitsui family’s assets last year were definitely no more than 200 billion US dollars. How could they have suddenly skyrocketed to one trillion US dollars?”

"If the Mitsui family has concealed assets worth tens of billions of dollars, then I don't think it's a big deal."

"But old Morgan, you said they have over a trillion dollars in assets? Ha, are you mistaken? Or is it a trillion yen?"

"Haha, old Morgan, if your eyesight is failing, you can't tell the difference between the yen and the dollar."

Before the other person could even utter the word "distinction," old Morgan interrupted him.

"Believe it or not!"

After a pause, old Morgan continued:

"I only found out yesterday too."

Well, he definitely won't tell you that he already knew last month.

Furthermore, the Morgan family had already reaped substantial profits from this, so revealing it now would allow the Rockefeller family to vie for it.

Meanwhile, the Morgan family can focus their efforts on other companies such as Sumitomo, Mitsubishi, and Fuji.

Japan has a lot of assets overseas.

Let's not talk about other places, let's just talk about Australia.

The zaibatsu, led by Japanese families such as Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Sumitomo, and Fuji, had their companies secretly moving to Australia as early as the 1960s.

They developed mines across Australia with minimal investment.

As everyone knows, Australia has a mediocre economy, but it is very rich in mineral resources.

For example, when it comes to uranium, Australia is definitely one of the world's leading uranium exporters.

Japan, on the contrary, wants to rise to power, and even wants to engage in underhanded tactics.

To restore their former glory.

Having money isn't enough; you also need nuclear weapons like atomic bombs.

So they already had nuclear power plants in the 1960s, and like ants carrying grains of rice, they accumulated more and more uranium-235 little by little.

Preparing for the future!

After entering the 1980s, Japan claimed that it could buy the United States. Of course, they couldn't, but they took advantage of this period of rapid development to buy assets all over the world.

It was at this point in time that they increased their investment in Australia.

It was during this period that they rapidly increased their shareholding in many mining companies.

They even granted Australian citizenship to some Japanese citizens in preparation for taking control of the mines.

As everyone knows, Xiao Rizi likes to eat alone.

For example, they are currently applying for a large number of patents for hydrogen energy technology projects. They want to be landlords so that once hydrogen energy is developed, they can directly collect high patent fees and reap the benefits.

So it's the same with their mines in Australia.

In the 1960s, they were weak and only made strategic moves, so they only acquired a very small share.

But in the 1980s, they became wealthy and more assertive, so they demanded an increase in shareholding and more say in the company.

After all, Japan has scarce domestic resources and is heavily reliant on foreign countries.

If they didn't import from Australia, but instead imported from South America or elsewhere, they would pay a much higher price.

Therefore, the Mitsui family and others used this as a pretext to coerce the Australian mine owners into submission.

The Mitsui family and other conglomerates own mines and other resources in Australia with a total value exceeding $300 billion.

It's worth noting that Australia's GDP was only $380 billion last year, which isn't very high.

In Australia alone, the Japanese conglomerate owns such a vast amount of assets, not to mention its holdings in a major country in the Far East, South America, Southeast Asia, the United States, Europe, and other places.

Japanese conglomerates haven't been very involved in Africa and the Middle East, not because they look down on these regions, but because they are too chaotic and require the purchase of a lot of weapons and equipment.

Japanese zaibatsu are not free to do as they please; they are subject to US oversight, especially regarding weapons.

Unfortunately, Africa is chaotic and underdeveloped, and it's also the backyard of old European financial groups like France, Britain, Italy, and Spain, so Japan doesn't dare to easily get involved.

As for the Middle East, the United States has been eyeing this fertile land for a long time. Even if the Japanese conglomerates had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to make any rash moves.

The Japanese conglomerates have a great deal of overseas assets, which they have concealed using various methods.

Their domestic gold reserves alone amount to more than 10,000 tons, worth more than 190 billion US dollars, not to mention their overseas gold reserves.

It can be said that after World War II, they truly mastered the saying "a cunning rabbit has three burrows."

The Morgan family took nearly $90 billion in assets from the Mitsui family, which is the limit.

Even so, the Morgan family promised the Mitsui family that they would help stop the Rockefeller family and others.

Well, old Morgan only managed to hold out for a total of 'one month'.

A month should be enough time for the Mitsui family, right?

As for having the Morgan family keep the other wolves at bay, that's impossible.

Nine hundred billion US dollars in assets are not like nine hundred dollars; you can't just hide them away like that.

Secret deals made in private are sometimes leaked.

The major American conglomerates, especially those in the eastern region, are now so intertwined that they are difficult to separate from each other.

"Do you think I believe it or not?"

"I'm not going to say that," Nikolaus Mellon said sarcastically, then picked up his phone and made a call to someone outside.

John D. Rockefeller, Robinson Stilman, William DuPont, and others were also on the phone.

Morgan was completely unfazed and didn't care about any of this.

Soon, half an hour later, William DuPont's phone rang. After answering it, he heard only a few words and his expression changed drastically.

Before the call was even over, he glared angrily at old Morgan:

"Fuck, Morgan, you bastard! You actually plundered over 90 billion US dollars from the Mitsui family! God, why don't you go to hell? You executioner!"

With assets exceeding 90 billion US dollars, equivalent to one-tenth or even a fraction of the Mitsui family's assets, it's a huge sum.

William DuPont wasn't angry about that; he was angry that old Morgan was hogging the profits.

Damn it, they only told everyone after they'd already taken advantage of us. What a son of a bitch.

That's fucking dog-like!
Robinson Steelman, John Rockefeller, Nicolas Mellon, and others all changed their expressions drastically and stood up angrily.

Even though the youngest of them is already 85 years old, at this moment, they are like young people, wanting to have a one-on-one fight.

"Morgan, you've gone too far! This isn't the way to eat alone! It's unbelievable, over 90 billion US dollars! How can you have such a huge appetite?"

"God, this is truly astonishing! How did you manage to do this? Are the Mitsui family all pushovers? Did you just hand them over like that?"

"No, no, Morgan, you've gone too far. You'll be punished by God sooner or later. You should sincerely pray to God and repent."

Old Morgan completely ignored them, treating them as if they were nothing, and had no intention of paying them any attention.

How could something that's already in his mouth possibly be spat out again?
Haha, the Morgan family's appetite is bigger than anyone imagined.

While they were making a ruckus, on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Wang Duoyu, who had just gotten up, came out of the bathroom to wash up and prepare to look at today's briefing.

Previously, Want Want Group's briefings were all in paper form, delivered to him weekly or bi-weekly by Wang Meili and others, along with financial statements and other related materials.

But now they're all electronic versions, sent directly to his email address, so he can see them when he wakes up in the morning.

Nowadays, Want Want Group has more and more subsidiaries and independent organizations.

For example, super dollar factories, arms trading teams, and the Hidab project in the Somali peninsula are all independently operated entities.

Aside from the frequent contact between senior executives, frontline employees are not very clear about this situation.

At most, we know we'll cooperate occasionally or frequently, that's all.

With more companies involved, the content of the briefings has also increased significantly.

This leads to the need to categorize briefings into three types: urgent, important, and general.

The first briefing Wang Duoyu saw today was also at the very top of the list; he had already seen the message before even opening the email body.

However, it concerns the fact that the Morgan family plundered 90 billion US dollars of assets from the Mitsui family.

"Wait, this has been going on for over a month? What's going on?"

Upon learning that the Morgan family had already plundered over 90 billion US dollars from the Mitsui family in early November, Wang Duoyu was furious.

Their intelligence gathering ability is really bad.
But how did the Morgan family manage to do this?
It was so airtight that not a single word was leaked.

An old chaebol is an old chaebol; their power is frightening.

Wang Duoyu immediately called Zheng Baoyin, but the latter did not answer the phone and no one knew where he was.

So he called Wang Jianchao.

"Uncle Jiu, didn't you just get up? Why are you calling me? Is there something important to do?"

"Wang Jianchao, what the hell are you guys doing? The Morgan family was already planning to take action against the Mitsui family last month and seized over 90 billion US dollars in assets. You only found out now? Your intelligence capabilities are absolutely terrible."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianchao immediately felt wronged.

He's not a high-ranking executive in charge of intelligence work, so why are you criticizing him?

Furthermore, recently, the senior management team has been studying Sun Tzu's Art of War and reading the Twenty-Four Histories, which has greatly reduced their time for entertainment and rest.

On the other hand, the Morgan family is one of the world's top conglomerates, and those comparable to it can be counted on one hand globally.

Among the many financial groups in North America, the Morgan family is known as the most cunning and treacherous. Their financial group has remained number one to this day, and there is a reason for that.

JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley, two of North America's top financial giants, were originally companies spun off from the Morgan family.

The Morgan family also holds significant stakes in First Citibank, Goldman Sachs, and other companies.

For such a behemoth, it would indeed be very easy for the Morgan family to deceive everyone.

Otherwise, even their closest competitors, such as the Rockefeller family, wouldn't be unaware of this.

"I don't care about your concerns. I've prepared so many advanced high-tech products for you, yet you're so lazy that you don't even realize you've been tricked."

Wang Duoyu's tone was very stern:

"Your senior management needs to seriously reflect on this. We must invest more manpower and resources in acquiring business intelligence and regroup." (End of Chapter)
