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

October 1996, Stanford University, USA.

A Chinese assistant arrived at the door of Gao Huajian's office.

"Professor Gao, this is the list of master's applicants for this year. Please take a look."

Stanford University's master's admissions program varies depending on the specific program.

For example, the application period for the Master of East Asian Studies program is from mid-September to early December, and the admission notice is expected to be issued before mid-March of the following year.

Application deadlines for Master's programs in Bioengineering and Chemical Engineering are concentrated in December or earlier.

However, applications for medical doctorates open in May each year, with a deadline of October 1st.

Gao Huajian holds a PhD in Engineering Science from Harvard University and is an associate professor in the engineering department at Stanford University.

Therefore, the application period for his department's master's program is from September to mid-December.

It's October now, and this is the third batch of students to apply for his master's program, totaling eighteen undergraduates from all over the world.

"Put it on the table."

Gao Huajian nodded, then exchanged a few words with his Chinese assistant before continuing his work.

After his assistant left, he picked up the list and began selecting students.

His goal was very simple: to only recruit students from a large country in the Far East and reject all other students.

However, in order to avoid arousing suspicion from Stanford University, he will still recruit one or two more white students in the next year or two.

However, most of his master's students must come from a certain major Eastern country.

After selecting the names, Gao Huajian put the list aside and waited for his assistant to handle the matter.

These are not very important, because if he wants to be promoted to full professor and remove the "associate" title, he must achieve results.

The Stuttgart Institute for Materials Science in Germany has offered him a collaborative project. He plans to work with the institute next month to complete the simulation calculations based on strain gradient theory and micro-nano plastic deformation mechanism, and to establish a mechanical theory system for nano-biological structures.

The overall project is not very complicated, but there are quite a few experiments to be done, so he still needs to pay close attention.

A week later, Gao Huajian sat in his office and conducted telephone interviews with several students from a large Eastern country.

If you pass the first round of phone interviews, Gao Huajian will arrange for his assistant to send you a second round of interview invitations.

Normally, if he extends a second-round interview invitation, then we can basically lock in this student.

Of course, he would also arrange for a background check before sending out the second round of interview invitations.

Before conducting the first round of phone interviews, Gao Huajian had already reviewed all the students' application materials.

Although these materials should be free of counterfeit ingredients, who knows if they contain any adulteration?
You should know that even phone interviews can be misleading.

The admissions process for Stanford University's master's programs is naturally not that simple; background checks are an essential part of the process.

Harbin, the Ice City, and Harbin Institute of Technology.

Wang Duoyu appeared in the secretary's office, with Liao Zhihe sitting beside him, looking at him respectfully as he gave his 'work report'.

In January of this year, Liao Zhihe had already become the acting secretary and had been working with Liu Deben for half a year.

After successfully passing the so-called 'assessment', Liao Zhihe has successfully succeeded Liu Deben as the new Party Secretary of Harbin Institute of Technology, starting in the second half of this year.

However, Liao Zhihe was a bit... well, he was overly respectful to Wang Duoyu.

In fact, Wang Duoyu had corrected the other party several times, but the other party only said it verbally and did what they did anyway, without any change at all.

This made Wang Duoyu a veritable "local tyrant" at Harbin Institute of Technology, while Liao Zhihe became a puppet.

After Liao Zhihe finished his 'report,' Wang Duoyu put the documents he was holding on the table and said:
"Let's do as Secretary Liao arranges. I have no objections."

"Harbin Institute of Technology now needs to further address its academic atmosphere and the issue of international students."

The number of international students that Wang Duoyu pointed out should be minimized, not increased.

Harbin Institute of Technology currently has two campuses: the old campus and the Weizigou campus where they are now located.

The old campus, which houses master's students, doctoral students, and international students, is relatively more relaxed in terms of management.

The Weizigou campus is under military-style management, which is quite strict.

Apart from school leaders, professors, and associate professors, all other undergraduate students, lecturers, and security personnel are under military-style management.

From Monday to Friday, the management is basically the same as that of the military, with requirements for housekeeping, as well as morning exercises and ideological education courses.

Only Saturdays and Sundays are free time to arrange.

However, because of this, the academic atmosphere at the Weizigou campus is not very good.

There are many main reasons, one of which is that there are too many temptations from outside the school.

Because the Weizigou campus is located in the bustling city center of Harbin, it is surrounded by high-rise office buildings and a large number of multinational corporations.

This has led to a thriving commercial street outside the school, with all kinds of food streets, as well as entertainment venues such as KTVs, billiard halls, internet cafes, and foot massage parlors.

These are very attractive to students.

Ironically, students from Harbin Institute of Technology are quite good at making money.

Leaving aside other things, just take the training institutions near Harbin Institute of Technology as an example. There are at least a hundred of them on one street.

And all the teachers in these training institutions are undergraduates from Harbin Institute of Technology.

Saturdays and Sundays are the days when Harbin Institute of Technology students work part-time.

Because there is no need for military-style management on Saturdays and Sundays, students are free.

Of course, this so-called freedom only refers to the freedom to arrange courses and other aspects.

That doesn't mean you've always been that free.

Secondly, the entertainment era has arrived.

Harbin was always at the forefront of the times and was one of the most economically developed regions in the country, thus attracting a large number of entertainment stars and models.

Many movie premieres are held in Harbin.

With the widespread use of the internet, it has become easier for college students to access information.

Even earlier this year, one graduate student had his graduation thesis ghostwritten by someone else.

After this incident was exposed, Wang Duoyu realized that the current situation at Harbin Institute of Technology was indeed not optimistic.

In conclusion, the academic atmosphere problem at the Weizigou campus has escalated and requires serious attention.

If this is not stopped soon, the consequences will be something no one wants to accept.

Upon hearing this, Liao Zhihe nodded earnestly:

"Professor Wang, please rest assured, I will definitely focus on this point."

Wang Duoyu nodded.
"Pay attention to the methods and approaches; don't overdo it. Giving too much medicine can easily lead to serious problems."

After chatting for a while, he got up and left.

On his way home, he ran into some classmates who were discussing studying at Stanford University. They were particularly taken aback when they heard the name Gao Huajian.

"Is this the same Gao Huajian I know?"

He has a student named Gao Huajian, who went to North America last year for an exchange and lecture tour, I think it was at Stanford University.
Gao Huajian was born in 1966 and became Wang Duoyu's student in 1984.

Twelve years have passed since then.

According to Wang Duoyu's prediction, if Gao Huajian were to take another year or two to develop his skills, he might be able to win the Fields Medal in 2002.

The year after next, in 1998, Gao Huajian might not even be able to win this award.

While Wang Duoyu was still in a daze, the students chatted for a few more minutes about their majors, and he shook his head.

Because he wasn't a math major, and he remembered that his student was going on a study abroad program, not joining Stanford University.

Therefore, the Professor Gao Huajian mentioned by those students is definitely not his student, but rather the Harvard PhD from Sichuan.

This refers to Professor Gao Huajian, who was later known as the strongest jungler in the Chinese server.

After returning home, Wang Duoyu made a phone call to his sister who was in Los Angeles.

"Beautiful, are you in California right now?"

"Yes, Ninth Brother, you're finally willing to talk to me. I thought you were angry."

Wang Meili, on the other end of the phone, breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since receiving the email from her ninth brother the day before yesterday, the entire senior management of Want Want Group has been terrified.

Zheng Baoyin, Wang Jianchao, Yabo Fein, Martinez and others were all as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

Because Wang Duoyu made it very clear in the email, explaining the very important and critical implications.

After all, the middleman, Zhang Zhongwei, the fried chicken shop owner, was almost captured alive by CIA agent squad leader Ex.

Once this person is caught, it is very likely that the trail will be followed, and Davis will definitely not be able to escape.

Although Yabo Fein was confident that Davis wouldn't betray them, no one could be 100% certain when faced with a life-or-death situation. Therefore, Wang Meili and the others were very afraid.

Even though Wang Duoyu had already cleaned up the mess for everyone, and even though several days had passed, Wang Meili was still shaken.

"Hmph, you have the nerve to say that?"

Upon hearing his sister bring this up, Wang Duoyu couldn't help but snort coldly:
"I have repeatedly emphasized that we should not be complacent and prepared for potential dangers, but what about you?"

"Always thinking you can rest easy, with skilled protectors by your side, everything will be fine, haha."

"Everything has changed since you established the Super Dollar Factory."

"The current situation is that you have no way to shut down this factory, but you are too arrogant and don't know how to constantly reflect on your own actions."

In fact, Wang Duoyu was not wrong.

The senior management of Want Want Group would never give up this treasure trove that is the super dollar factory.

The company generates over 100 billion US dollars in profit annually, and this year's profit is expected to exceed 200 billion US dollars.

Such a super treasure trove cannot be cut.

Even if Wang Duoyu expends tremendous effort and adopts a tough stance to stop this, the Want Want Group will still fall apart, which will definitely trigger a huge economic tsunami.

The reason is simple: executives like Yabo Fein, Hela O'Brien, and Dylan Dario will definitely rebel or start their own businesses.

Faced with enormous profits, no one can sit still.

No one will continue to obey Wang Duoyu's orders.

Unless Wang Duoyu can come up with a super cash cow even bigger than the Super Dollar Factory, it's impossible for Want Want Group executives to voluntarily give up this huge pie.

Since he couldn't give up, Wang Duoyu had no choice but to start his own business and gradually separate Want Want Group from the group.

At the same time, they began to develop other technologies to divert attention from internal conflicts within the Want Want Group.

When conflicts arise within an organization, shifting the conflict elsewhere is a very good solution.

Especially for a behemoth like Want Want Group, we must be extra cautious in pushing for the resolution of these conflicts. We must be firm when necessary, but also generous when it's time to offer incentives.

"Ninth Brother, I understand, please don't be angry."

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu became even angrier:
"If you really knew, that would be good."

After complaining for a while, he finally gave the order:
"If you have some time in the next couple of days, go to Stanford University and learn a little about a professor named Gao Huajian."

"Ninth Brother, isn't Gao Huajian your student? What else do you need me to know?"

On the other end of the phone, Wang Meili asked in surprise.

As the younger sister, she naturally knew about her ninth brother's students.

She remembers all of those students, and even interacts with many of them frequently.

"The Gao Huajian I'm talking about is not my student, nor is he engaged in theoretical mathematical research, and he is currently an American."

After a pause, Wang Duoyu continued:

"Alright, stop asking so many questions. Just find out when you have time. Don't pry too much, and definitely don't say it's my idea. Understand?"

"Okay, Ninth Brother, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Duoyu shook his head and muttered, "He's such a worry."

The next morning, Zheng Baoyin called, and Wang Duoyu was reluctant to answer the call.

But then I thought about it again and answered the call.

"Uncle, you finally answered my call!"

"Zheng Baoyin, stop talking nonsense. If you have something to say, say it. If not, get back to work. I don't have time to chat with you."

"My uncle is like this, he's currently in the Somali peninsula."

In the phone call, Zheng Baoyin described the current predicament facing the Somali peninsula.

After listening to this, Wang Duoyu was silent for a while and said:

"You guys have a meeting to discuss this first and see if you can come up with an effective solution. I'll be going to the Somali Peninsula next week, and we'll meet there to talk in detail."

He knew some things about the situation on the Somali peninsula, but he wasn't very concerned.

Because in his view, although it was important, it was nothing special.

Why?

First, the Somali peninsula is in a state of being neither dead nor alive.

As we all know, whenever the Somali peninsula is mentioned, the word "pirates" immediately comes to mind.

Damazin was a decent warlord, but he was a puppet supported by the Want Want Group and not a real warlord.

On the contrary, the other warlords on the Somali peninsula are the real cancer on the peninsula.

For example, the Islamic State organization in Puntland in the north is a very united warlord group because they adhere to Islam and have their own strict system.

And they did more than just pirates; they did other things too.

For example, some terrorist threats, suicide attacks, etc., are willing to risk their lives as long as they are paid.

The entire Puntland region was basically gripped by white terror.

Sometimes, they even dare to rob the Want Want Group's merchant ships.

They can be described as committing all sorts of evil deeds.

Such a peninsula, riddled with malignant tumors, was never welcomed by the outside world.

So it's not important to Wang Duoyu.

Secondly, the Somali Peninsula has a small population and a large area, but it is mostly characterized by harsh environments such as deserts and Gobi.

It's basically a useless piece of junk.

In other words, Want Want Group has now been tied to the Super Dollar Factory, which forces Wang Duoyu to find a way to resolve this conflict.

Therefore, the research base was located on the Somali Peninsula.

According to Zheng Baoyin and his colleagues, Hidab in the Somali Peninsula is indeed struggling to make ends meet.

Hidab has many solar power plants, but the local economy is only so-so.

At this point, the satellites overhead can easily detect such anomalies.

It could attract strong attention from the CIA if things go wrong.

The reason it hasn't attracted attention yet isn't because they haven't launched an investigation, but rather because the case has most likely been suppressed.

The CIA's most important task right now is to find the factories where counterfeit money syndicates produce their goods and dismantle these criminal organizations.

Therefore, even if NASA sees those solar power plants near Hideb in Somalia via satellite, it won't pay much attention.

After all, with this little bit of power, it's unlikely we'd be using it for nuclear weapons research.

There are indeed uranium deposits in the Somali peninsula, such as in the Blan region of Sanag State and the Burhakaba region of Bai State, where there are very rich uranium deposits.

However, the warlord era made uranium mining an extremely difficult problem.

Besides, there's no corresponding technology.

Refining uranium-235 requires not only a large number of power plants, but also the corresponding technology and a large number of researchers.

Ordinary workers simply can't handle this thing.

Of course, because of these abundant mineral resources, the situation on the Somali peninsula will only be very tense, but will not attract much attention.

There were no such uranium mines in the warlord-controlled region of Damazin.

Therefore, even if a photovoltaic power plant were to appear, it would not attract any attention.

Unless the power plant is already too large.

"Okay, Uncle, I understand. I'll take care of it right away."

Zheng Baoyin said happily.

Wang Duoyu put down his phone, his mind racing with thoughts about adjustments to the layout of the Somali peninsula.

The economy must develop; otherwise, the energy source needed for Hidab's underground laboratory will pose a huge hidden danger.

Although a significant portion of the lighting in the underground laboratory is provided by a light-guiding lighting system.

This method involves collecting natural light and transmitting it through light pipes or optical fibers, requiring no power and enabling long-distance transmission.

But the laboratory definitely needs a lot of electricity, which must be generated by photovoltaic power generation or thermal power plants.

But the key point is how this economy should develop specifically, and how it should be kept in equilibrium within a certain range, so that it doesn't attract excessive attention. (End of Chapter)
