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

Harbin, the "Ice City," at the Weizigou campus of Harbin Institute of Technology, a luxury car slowly drove into the school gate.

"Dad, is this what university is like?"

"Yes, this is a university. This school is called Harbin Institute of Technology, the most famous institution of higher learning in our country. Your great-uncle is a teacher at this school."

Xu Quan Hua sighed:

"If it weren't for your great-uncle's help, your mother and I wouldn't have had you. So when you grow up, you must remember your great-uncle's kindness; he is a great benefactor to our family."

The little boy sitting in the back seat is only six years old and looks chubby and adorable.

"Dad, I want to go to this school too."

Upon hearing this, the little boy's mother, Xie Xiaomei, said softly:

"Then you'd better study hard. Harbin Institute of Technology has a very high admission score every year. Your cousin had to repeat a year before she got in."

Xie Xiaomei was referring to Wang Shuting, who is the daughter of Wang Duoyu's sixth brother.

Xu Quanhu and Xie Xiaomei went to Peking Union Medical College Hospital in Beijing with Wang Duoyu back then because they had been unable to conceive for many years, so they went to the hospital for a checkup.

Finally, after trying both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, it wasn't until 1982, through Wang Duoyu's connections, that a true master doctor was finally brought in.

After six months of recuperation, Xie Xiaomei finally became pregnant.

Unfortunately, it seems they were not destined to have children. Less than two months after she became pregnant, two of Xie Xiaomei's wolfhounds died in a fight among the dogs in the countryside. However, her dog still couldn't protect the baby in her womb. Startled by the other dogs, Xie Xiaomei fell to the ground, which ultimately caused the fetus in her womb to stop developing.

Because of this incident, Xu Quanhu and Xie Xiaomei dared not live in the village and moved directly to Bingcheng.

After several years of recuperation, Xie Xiaomei, at the age of forty, became pregnant again and finally gave birth to the little boy in front of her, whom she named Xu Ping'an.

The couple cherished the child very much, but they hoped even more that the child would be safe and sound, which is why they named him Ping An (meaning "peace and safety").

The car slowly pulled into a parking space in the courtyard of the villa on the island in the lake, and Xu Quanhu and his family of three got out of the car.

The island is not large, but it is not small either.

Everything was so new to Xu Pingan.

He doesn't come here very often, only during holidays.

Especially in recent years, his father has been busy with work, and his mother has not brought him here often.

Yuan Zuliang and the others stood not far away, watching Xu Quanhua and his family of three.

Although they are regular customers, they still conduct routine checks.

What cannot be brought in must be strictly controlled.

There's nothing that can be done; Wang Duoyu's status is what it is, and even his relatives can't change that.

The main reason is that Old Wang has too many relatives; who knows who is a human and who is a ghost?
What if someone here is greedy and causes trouble?

Anyway, Wang Duoyu wouldn't joke around with his own life.

"Dad, why are we searching me?"

Xu Pingan didn't understand; he was still young and found it very strange.

When he visits other relatives' homes, he can just walk right in, but when he visits his great-uncle's house, he always has to do it this way.

That's a bit disrespectful.

But that's the rule.

Old Wang has many relatives, but Wang Duoyu is only close to the families of his eighth sister, eleventh sister, and twelfth sister, as well as Zheng Baoyin, Zheng Baodong, Wang Jianchao, and Wang Shuting.

The relationship with other relatives was relatively ordinary.

For example, Zheng Baodong often visited Wang Duoyu's house, and even Wang Junhong often visited his house.

The two families have close ties.

Zheng Baodong was originally a professor at the School of Mathematics of Harbin Institute of Technology. Although he was only an associate professor, he did live on campus, so it was perfectly natural for him to come to his uncle's house.

Xu Quanhu and his family used to have a good relationship with Wang Duoyu, but they gradually drifted apart.

Because Xu Quan Hua is already forty-eight years old this year, and he and Wang Duo Yu don't have much in common, their meetings are just polite greetings between relatives, nothing more.

"This isn't a body search; it's about ensuring your great-uncle's safety."

Xie Xiaomei patted her son's head and said:

"Your great-uncle's status is very different; countless people want to harm him."

"Ah? Why?"

"Xiaomei, why are you telling him this? Ping An is still young, he doesn't understand these things. He'll understand when he grows up."

Xu Quan Hua said something and then urged them to go inside quickly.

The villa was quite lively.

Wang Yifei, Lu Yuening, Li Shumin and the other children were running around. When Xu Pingan saw this, he was eager to try it out and wanted to join in as well.

After all, he is only six years old this year, so of course he likes to play with children his own age.

"Go ahead." Xie Xiaomei gave her son a push from behind, and the little guy happily went forward.

Compared to the children's lively atmosphere, the adults were much quieter.

Because Wang Duoyu and Liu Xiaoli had a falling out, or more accurately, Liu Xiaoli was still angry, and Wang Duoyu didn't want to talk to her, he just wanted her to figure things out on her own.

This knot is very difficult to untie.

Here, the Wang sisters are trying to persuade her.

In fact, Wang Meili and her sister received a call from Liu Xiaoli, which is why they rushed back from abroad.

"Duoyu, Meili, what are you talking about?"

With Xie Xiaomei and Xu Quanhu arriving, Wang Meili and the others were unable to continue their conversation with their Ninth Brother.

"Xiao Hua, you've arrived."

Wang Duoyu greeted him with a smile.

"uncle!"

Xu Quanhu is the son of Wang Duoyu's second sister, so calling him "uncle" is perfectly normal.

The group sat down and chatted, exchanging pleasantries about their recent situations, mostly about everyday matters.

After chatting for a while, Wang Duoyu realized that Xu Quanhu might be the most suitable person to adopt Guoguo.

First, both Xu Quanhu and Xie Xiaomei are in their late forties, approaching fifty.

For many people, being over fifty means their life is almost over.

Let alone the fact that Xu Quan Hua and his family would have a hard time getting pregnant, even if they could, they wouldn't dare at their age.

They only have Xu Ping'an as their child, so they are inevitably too lonely.

Things might be different if I could have another daughter.

Secondly, Xu Quanhu and his family are now living in much better conditions than before, and they are also related to Wang Duoyu.

If they were to actually adopt Guoguo, it might really be a win-win situation.

However, Liu Xiaoli is probably not too happy about it.

There's no rush now, we can talk about it after the annual meeting.

As everyone chatted, they were unaware that Wang Duoyu's mind was racing, and he was already thinking about many things.

Just then, Wang Duoyu's phone rang.

The call came from Wang Duozhi, who rarely called him.

"Third brother, what's wrong?"

Wang Duozhi, on the other end of the phone, spoke in a low voice, tinged with excitement, his lips trembling.

"Ninth Brother, is that you?"

"It's me, Third Brother. What's wrong? Did something happen at home?"

Upon hearing what Wang Duoyu said, Wang Meili and the others' expressions immediately changed.

What could possibly happen at home?
"Jianfei, my son Jianfei, he's awake! He's finally awake!"

what?
Wang Duoyu was stunned for a moment, his thoughts drifting away.

Ten years ago, Wang Jianfei also worked at Want Want Group, but later he insisted on leaving to make his own way in the world.

It's probably because they're young; teenagers are often arrogant and proud.

Six months after I started my own business, an accident happened.

He became a vegetable after a traffic accident.

For a full ten years, Wang Jianfei remained bedridden in the hospital.

Although the Wang family is not short of money now, especially since his third brother, Wang Jianchao, is a senior executive at Want Want Group, he is even more financially secure.

Therefore, it was possible to arrange for a nurse to take good care of him.

But his parents were very worried about him.

Paralyzed in his hospital bed, with his consciousness drifting in a state of confusion, Wang Jianfei, now in a vegetative state, is completely unable to control himself.

Everyone thought he would never wake up, but his mother often stayed by his bedside, calling his name from time to time. After ten years, he actually woke up.

Wang Duoyu was indeed stunned when he heard this news.

"Third Brother, this is good news! It's good that Jianfei is awake. Has the doctor examined him? What exactly did the doctor say?"

"Ninth Brother, Jianfei said he's in good health; he just got back today."

"Alright, alright, let's go back too."

"Nonsense, no rush, Lao Jiu, you guys get back to work. It's good that Jianfei is awake. Your business is more important. We'll get together again after the New Year."

Wang Duoyu thought it made sense and was about to nod in agreement.

But at that moment, his third brother started arguing with Wang Jianfei on the other end of the phone.

It turns out that Wang Jianfei wanted to meet his relatives to thank them for taking care of his parents.

These words must have made Wang Duozhi very unhappy. He, Wang Duozhi, was not dead yet, so why did he need his son to thank him?
At this moment, Wang Duozhi had become a stubborn old man, arguing with his son before even hanging up the phone.

This has caused quite a stir.

"Meili, please tell everyone that the meeting is postponed by a day. We're going back to our hometown first."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Duoyu turned to Wang Meili and gave her instructions.

Wang Jianfei is, after all, his nephew. He had been in a vegetative state for ten years, but now he has suddenly woken up. He probably needs to go to the hospital for a check-up.

The meeting isn't urgent; it would be good to go back and have a get-together first.

"Okay, Brother Nine."

So the next day, Wang Duoyu and the others returned to their hometown, Dahonggou Village.

Many relatives and friends received calls from Wang Jianfei, and none of them refused; they all went back to their hometown.

Liu Xiaoli also went back, taking the white tofu with her. But she had a black face towards Wang Duoyu the whole time, which made him want to curse.

It seems Liu Xiaoli is truly determined and will stick to her path no matter what.

If it weren't for so many relatives being there, Wang Duoyu would definitely have argued with her.

Wang Jianfei was busy in the kitchen, seemingly with inexhaustible energy.

"Jianfei, you're much more diligent now than before."

Entering the kitchen, Wang Duoyu greeted her with a smile:
"Are you feeling unwell at all?"

"Uncle Jiu, I'm perfectly fine, haha. But this is the kitchen, and it's full of cooking fumes. You should leave, Uncle Jiu."

"You called us back, but you hid in the kitchen yourself. What kind of behavior is that?"

"Uncle Jiu, how about I punish myself by drinking three cups later?"

"Never mind, whatever you want, as long as you're alright."

Wang Duoyu saw that his nephew looked to be in good spirits and that there was nothing wrong with his health.

So after exchanging a few pleasantries with a smile, I left the kitchen.

That noon and evening, Old Wang's relatives gathered together and drank heartily.

Most of the relatives from all over the country have returned.

Some relatives and friends have not yet returned, such as Wang Duoshi and his family who are far away in New Zealand.

Old Wang's family already had many relatives, and quite a few of them had settled in New Zealand.

Many times, even Wang Duoyu subconsciously forgot that his Wang family had relatives in New Zealand.

After eating and drinking, everyone dispersed the next day.

Guangzhou Baiyun Airport, Wang Duoyu's private jet slowly came to a stop at his private tarmac.

After getting off the plane, a line of cars was already waiting.

After leaving the airport, Wang Duoyu headed straight for the city center.

Back at the headquarters of Want Want Group in Tianhe District, Wang Duoyu and his team simply ate lunch before starting today's summary meeting.

In the past, the summary meeting was finalized within a day.

This year will probably be different.

Starting this afternoon, we'll have to continue for another day tomorrow.

"I will be chairing the meeting today."

Xue Lisheng sat in the conference room, coughed once, and began today's senior management meeting.

As in previous years, the first to give a report was the 'own son' manufacturing company.

From the initial company, Xibeier Women's Wear, to Muscle Shark, Red Star Group, and Brabus Watch Factory, etc.

1995 was a year of comprehensive development for the company. Under the great wave of economic globalization, the development momentum of all manufacturing companies under the Want Want Group was very strong.

For example, Leap Sports has consistently held the top spot among global sports brands, and other sports brands such as Adidas, Nike, and Reebok are simply unable to challenge Leap Sports' position.

It ranks first in revenue, profit, number of stores, and brand reputation, making it a near-omnipotent competitor. None of its other rivals can compete with it.

"Our Hongxing Group has once again broken last year's record. Under the professor's leadership, the entire group has achieved 409 technological innovations, including 88 new materials technology research and development achievements."

"Among them, we have already developed a solid-state lattice battery. According to the professor, this is the first generation of the product, which will be used in Huachen mobile phones and other products this year."

"Red Star Group's domestic revenue reached a new high of 8.6 billion RMB, while its overseas export revenue reached 2.8 billion USD."

Wen Shixuan's speech was powerful and resounding.

Wang Duoyu also joined in the applause.

clap clap clap!
After Wen Shixuan finished speaking, Wang Duoyu added:
"Here I need to commend the Red Star Group. They have indeed worked very hard and achieved many technological breakthroughs and innovations, making a tremendous contribution to the future development of our group."

Hearing this, the executives couldn't help but feel envious.

Since last year, the Red Star Group, which is under the leadership of Wen Shixuan, has become increasingly important.

Other senior executives in charge of research institutions and scientific research institutes have also seen their status rise significantly.

This was all because Wang Duoyu proposed the idea of ​​developing cutting-edge Earth technology at the summary meeting in January 1995.

Advanced technologies such as gene anti-aging, controlled nuclear fusion, and artificial intelligence excited the executives.

This is a very, very good thing; it benefits everyone.

As a result, Wen Shixuan and others gradually rose in status.

As time went by, it soon became the turn of Pandora Enterprise, which Wang Jianchao was in charge of.

"Our Pandora revenue this year has increased by 16% compared to last year."

As a luxury goods company, Pandora's annual revenue of $6.8 billion is truly impressive.

But thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem to make any sense.

With the current global economic boom, consumer spending power in Europe and the United States continues to rise.

While this is largely due to the depreciation of the US dollar, global consumer spending has indeed increased significantly.

The number of people traveling and playing around the world has increased significantly.

Of course, there are still very few tourists from a certain large country in the Far East, after all, it has not yet truly developed.

After reporting on Pandora, Wang Jianchao also reported on Victoria's Secret.

Upon hearing the name of the company, everyone looked at Wang Jianchao with smiles on their faces.

However, this smile wasn't very pleasant; it was more of a joke.

Victoria's Secret is an underwear brand store, and in principle, it should be managed by the two sisters, Wang Meili and Wang Meihe.

Alternatively, other female executives could take charge.

But it was Wang Jianchao who took it.

Of course, everyone knows he is a womanizer, and the extent of his womanizing is truly unbelievable.

Because he kept many female celebrities and models around him, Wang Jianchao suffered from severe health problems.

So he went to Tanzania to acquire land to raise Siberian tigers, and at the same time arranged for people to contract a large private territory in the Siberian primeval forest.

It was also used to raise Siberian tigers.

In just one or two years, eighteen new Siberian tiger cubs have been born in Siberia.

Why is the growth so rapid?
Because Wang Jianchao captured several Siberian tigers from the wild and also brought back many female tigers from the zoo.

After the mother tiger gives birth to her cubs, when the cubs are six months old, all the Siberian tiger cubs are released back into the primeval forests of their territory.

If you want to raise Siberian tigers, especially wild ones, you can't follow the conventional methods.

First, it is necessary to ensure that these Siberian tigers have a sufficiently large territory to roam.

Therefore, the land that Wang Duoyu contracted was quite vast.

In any case, the Russian Far East is sparsely populated, so the local government is naturally very happy that Wang Jianchao, the behind-the-scenes boss, is willing to spend so much money to rent this land to raise Siberian tigers. Secondly, it ensures that the Siberian tigers have enough food.

Therefore, Wang Jianchao would often purchase large quantities of farmed wild boars, chickens, deer, and other poultry from Dahonggou Village and transport them directly to his Siberian tiger breeding farm.

On each different hilltop, release roughly the same number of wild boars and other poultry.

Although these are farmed wild boars and not very wild, they are still wild boars and can still survive in the primeval forest.

Surviving for just one month is generally enough.

Anyway, those Siberian tigers will definitely not let go of these wild boars and other meat.

As a result, in just over two years, Wang Jianchao has invested more than 200 million US dollars in Siberian tiger breeding.

That's definitely a bit of an exaggeration.

But upon closer inspection, it makes perfect sense.

Because every farmed wild boar transported from within the country needs to be ensured to be healthy.

Otherwise, if the Siberian tiger that Wang Jianchao hunts turns out to be sick, wouldn't all his efforts have been in vain?

On the other hand, Wang Jianchao wanted to ensure that the Siberian tigers in his territory wouldn't escape to other places.

He deployed numerous drone patrols and gradually built stone walls.

That's why the investment is so huge.

All the executives who had heard of Wang Jianchao's extravagant Siberian tiger breeding base were shocked by his large-scale investment.

It's just a tiger, why invest so much?
There's already a medicine called "Aoaojiao" (嗷嗷叫), so there shouldn't be any need for something like tiger bone wine, right?

However, tiger bone wine and tiger penis wine are the real top-quality products. Although "roaring" sounds good, it ultimately contains more medicine than tiger bone wine.

Every medicine has its side effects, and taking too much is never good for your health.

With so much wealth and enjoying such a good life, how could Wang Jianchao possibly want to grow old?
Ordinary people pursue three meals a day and a simple, ordinary happiness.

But for those billionaires with billions in wealth, the pursuit of a longer life is what matters most.

Resources like beautiful women are difficult for ordinary people to obtain.

But for the super-rich, it's just something they squander on a daily basis; it's not difficult at all.

Wang Jianchao was enjoying the most beautiful women among them, and with their fame added to the appeal, he liked them even more.

The saying "fame makes a man" certainly holds true.

Many female celebrities undergo significant changes in both appearance and temperament during the peak of their careers.

Before someone becomes famous, they are like the ugly duckling.

But when she was at the height of her fame, she quickly transformed into a true swan.

Despite selling ordinary, affordable lingerie, Victoria's Secret's supermodel fashion show is a resounding success and exudes high prestige.

The lingerie worn by those female models on the runway is almost always top-of-the-line lingerie worth hundreds of millions of US dollars.

Female supermodels who become wildly popular on the runway are, of course, very beautiful and have an absolutely stunning presence.

Wang Jianchao is surrounded by female supermodels like these.

That's why the executives looked at him with such a mocking expression when he was giving his report on Victoria's Secret.

In 1995, Victoria's Secret's annual revenue was $3.4 billion, and its profit was $1.8 billion.

what?
Inside the meeting room, all the executives were dumbfounded.

No one could believe their ears. Was it really true?

How can a lingerie brand store, and one that sells affordable lingerie rather than high-end lingerie, generate such high revenue?
Although many people don't believe it, it's the truth.

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu looked at his nephew with surprise.

It's clear that Wang Jianchao, this nephew, has done quite well.

Perhaps it can be said that Wang Jianchao's team did achieve some good results.

But then I thought about it again. Wang Jianchao was in charge of Pandora, a luxury goods company, so he must have a great sales team under him.

In this way, achieving such results is not a difficult task.

Next up was Yuma Clothing Company.

After Zheng Baoyin gave a brief report, it was Facebook's turn.

Tong Zhigang said seriously:

"We at Facebook have now developed a variety of products, including a portal, blogs, chat tools, and more. Our portal currently receives an average of 60 million visits per day."

"In 1995, our largest revenue segment at Facebook was gaming, which generated $10.7 billion in revenue for the year."

"The second largest revenue segment is advertising, with annual advertising revenue of $6.2 billion."

hiss!
Everyone gasped in shock; it was truly astonishing.

After all, Facebook is just an internet company, and it doesn't seem to have done anything particularly significant.

The game's revenue actually exceeded 10 billion US dollars?
Isn't this just another Dolphin Games Group?

The executives present were well aware that Harbin Institute of Technology had a gaming group under its umbrella, and in 1994, Dolphin Games' revenue reached 30 billion US dollars.

It was the undisputed leader in the global gaming industry at the time.

Game companies from Europe, America, Japan, and other regions have been unable to pose a threat to Dolphin Games Group.

Even with top giants like Sony getting involved, Dolphin Games Group's position remained unchallenged, and its revenue continued to grow steadily.

Because Dolphin Games Group has built its empire over many years, its brand benefits are extremely strong.

Furthermore, it collaborates with Hollywood giants such as Paramount and MGM, and partners with companies like Magic Kids Toys, so Dolphin Games Group's revenue is not limited to games alone.

For example, a globally popular game is inevitably backed by a complete industry chain.

Games, movies, toys, and related merchandise are all sources of income.

Even in China, Dolphin Games Group cracks down hard on piracy, leaving pirate companies nowhere to hide.

Many small vendors, in order to survive, have no choice but to find other ways to do so, since they dare not provoke the Dolphin Games Group.

There's no way around it; Dolphin Games Group is backed by Harbin Institute of Technology.

Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) is one of the top universities in China, so if HIT were to speak up, how could relevant departments such as the Ministry of Culture not take action?
So while piracy may exist in China, it would never dare to touch the business of companies affiliated with Harbin Institute of Technology.

Of course, they dared not touch the pie of the Want Want Group's subsidiaries.

Most importantly, the price of genuine products in China is not very expensive, because the domestic market focuses on low profit margins and high sales volume.

Most of the profits actually come from overseas.

Facebook's gaming revenue is so high, exceeding 10 billion US dollars, which is something many people did not expect.

clap clap clap!
After the applause subsided, it was soon Amazon's turn.

Wang Lichuan smiled confidently and said:

"Professor, colleagues, good afternoon. Amazon's transaction volume in 1995 has reached a new high of $83.7 billion."

Upon hearing this data, Wang Duoyu should have been happy, but instead he frowned and couldn't feel joy.

Back in 1992, Amazon's business was only worth $500 million.

In just a few years, it has grown to 83.7 billion US dollars, which is already quite astonishing.

However, while companies like Walmart and Target have annual revenues exceeding $100 billion, Amazon's annual transaction volume has not even reached $100 billion.

What on earth is going on here?

On one hand, Facebook has more than 50 million daily visitors, while on the other hand, Amazon's annual transaction volume has not yet reached 100 billion.

Such an extreme contrast reflects a huge problem.

The number of internet users in the United States and other European and American countries is increasing rapidly, but their online consumption habits have not yet been formed.

"Mr. Wang, what do you think is the reason?"

Wang Duoyu immediately posed the question, letting Wang Lichuan think about what exactly was going on.

The meeting room immediately quieted down.

All eyes turned to Wang Lichuan, who, as a senior executive of an internet giant, certainly understood the reason better.

"Professor, to be honest, it's still a matter of spending habits and the more developed credit card system in Europe and America."

After a moment's thought, Wang Lichuan explained the reasons he had come up with.

Take the United States as an example. It is a typical country with vast land and sparse population. Even large cities are essentially large rural complexes, with villa-style communities as far as the eye can see.

Such communities have resulted in extremely underdeveloped public transportation networks and extremely well-developed private car networks.

In the United States, it is very common for an average family to own at least two cars, with one car per person.

Therefore, in the United States, many young people around the age of eighteen own cars at a very young age.

This is a specific situation resulting from their current social conditions.

With everyone owning a car, people are naturally more willing to go out shopping, and shopping centers such as Walmart and Target are also very affordable.

They can easily use their cars to buy the daily necessities they need and bring them home.

Changing this lifestyle is indeed not easy.

There are two major obstacles to the online shopping experience.

The first issue is trust.

Based on the premise of "happy education," many Americans are simply domesticated corporate slaves.

This type of person has a relatively low level of cognition and intelligence, and is easily swayed by others' opinions.

It can also easily lead to a stubborn and opinionated personality.

They have become accustomed to driving to nearby shopping malls to buy inexpensive goods.

It's naturally not easy to get them to change this habit.

When buying goods online, people only see pictures, so it's hard for them to trust the products.

So those transactions of over $80 billion were actually contributed by young people.

The average middle-aged and elderly American doesn't touch the internet at all; at most, they might go online to look up information or something.

Ironically, this group of middle-aged and elderly Americans is the one with the greatest spending power.

Secondly, it always takes time to accept new things.

Just like the highly developed credit card system in the United States, it only gradually took shape starting in the early 1970s with the emergence and popularization of magnetic stripe card technology.

The internet has only been around for a few years, and this change in online shopping habits poses a huge challenge to traditional lifestyles.

This is the most important reason why Amazon's annual transaction volume cannot break through quickly.

After Wang Lichuan finished speaking, Wang Duoyu nodded and said:
"Well, what efforts has Amazon made regarding these two points?"

Inside the meeting room, the executives listened quietly.

The current situation is quite clear.

Wang Duoyu likely wanted to push for changes at Amazon and accelerate the company's development.

"Okay, Professor."

It was more than ten minutes later when Wang Lichuan finished speaking.

It was only then that people realized that Amazon had made so many changes without anyone noticing.

clap clap clap!
Everyone applauded. Wang Duoyu made no further summary or instructions.

Amazon's limited growth is largely due to the times.

Perhaps when Huachen Mobile launches a true smartphone this year, everything will change dramatically.

Smartphones will accelerate the advancement of internet technology.

It's possible that the internet winter that occurred around the turn of the millennium in the original timeline will never happen again.

Of course, since the emergence of the super dollar factory, the global economy in this timeline has undergone tremendous changes compared to the original timeline.

Because in the original timeline, at this point in 1995, there simply wasn't that much US dollar base money in the world.

The super-powerful money factory contributed hundreds of billions of dollars in counterfeit currency, with the Federal Reserve going even further, estimated to have printed over 1.5 trillion dollars more in counterfeit money.

The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer.

This is the current state of the socio-economic situation.

Wang Duoyu couldn't change anything; he could only do his part and try to protect himself.

He's not a saint; he can't save that many people.

If the country can be less affected by foreign influences, then it has already won.

Why should he care about the lives and deaths of those foreigners?

Honestly, he doesn't have that kind of magnanimity.

With the Amazon matter settled, the next step is Walsin Technology.

Yu Kexue, as the head of Huaxin Technology Company, did not smile much during his report today.

Because Walsin Technology Company's development has encountered a bottleneck.

In 1995, the annual revenue was US$23 billion, and it had been around US$20 billion for more than three consecutive years.

Within the Want Want Group, there's a saying: if revenue doesn't increase, it's basically declining.

why?
Because the US dollar has depreciated so much, the difference between earning 20 billion US dollars this year and earning 20 billion US dollars three years ago is huge.

Three years ago, one hundred US dollars could buy thirty kilograms of beef, but three years later, the same one hundred US dollars can only buy eighteen kilograms of beef.

This is the gap.

The depreciation of the US dollar, rising prices, and rampant inflation have further exacerbated this vicious cycle.

Unfortunately, the Super Dollar Factory continues to release new products, and Yu Ke-xue can't say anything because he is also a beneficiary.

If Walsin Technology wants to change the status quo, it still needs to start with the products themselves.

Seeing that he had taken the initiative to ask a question, and considering that he wanted to utilize some of the Hongxing Group's technological products, Wang Duoyu proactively said:
"Huaxin Technology's Alienware laptops can use solid-state lattice batteries in their battery modules. You can negotiate this with the Red Star Group."

"You could improve the casing of the Alienware computer by using titanium alloy. Although this would increase costs, it would also allow you to raise the selling price."

"Secondly, you need to increase your R&D efforts in nanochips; you can't just wait for the research results from companies at Harbin Institute of Technology."

"In addition, I plan to establish a chip research center in the underground laboratory in Hideb, Somalia, where all of our Want Want Group's technology products will be able to benefit from its facilities."

"Now that our Want Want Group has developed to this point, it's time to gradually break free from our dependence on Harbin Institute of Technology and become independent."

"You all understand the principle that 'to forge iron, one must be strong oneself.' Otherwise, how can we talk about breaking through those world-leading technologies such as gene anti-aging?"

clap clap clap!
Everyone applauded wildly after hearing Wang Duoyu's words.

The Want Want Group is indeed getting better and better, that much is undeniable.

But Wang Duoyu reiterated that those cutting-edge technologies might actually be seen in their lifetime.

Of course, the solid-state lattice battery that Wang Duoyu mentioned earlier seems to have been developed by the Red Star Group, but this is only the first generation version, and its performance in all aspects is still relatively weak.

As for technologies such as controlled nuclear fusion, artificial intelligence, and gene-based anti-aging, we'll just have to wait and see.

Wang Duoyu had not mentioned the existence of Nuwa AI to them, nor did he intend to announce Nuwa's existence so soon.

He needs to keep a few tricks up his sleeve and play it safe.

People are yearning for change!
In the past, when Want Want Group was in its startup phase, it was indeed possible to make executives such as Yu Ke-xue, Zheng Bao-yin, Li Efra, and O'Brien submit to its leadership through means such as dividends.

However, this method is now outdated.

Or rather, the executives are almost immune to it.

In Western medical theory and practice, there is also the concept of drug resistance, not to mention that humans are an extremely complex species.
