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

1997, Berbera Port, Somali Peninsula.

Zheng Baoyin and his team are inspecting the area near the port because something has happened on the other side recently.

Firstly, on the Arabian Peninsula, the situation is even more tense, with continuous shelling for more than a week.

According to news reports, airbursts are being carried out daily, and hundreds of oil fields have already been destroyed, making oil extraction impossible.

More importantly, the Suez Canal appears to be closing down, which is not a good thing.

If the waterway is closed, business at the Port of Pepera will plummet.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

However, we still need to pay close attention to the other side of the Arabian Peninsula, especially the workers who are busy with landscaping on the Arabian Peninsula; their safety is of utmost importance.

Fortunately, the bombing zone was far from the heart of the desert.

The dangerous elements want to bomb important locations such as oil fields, city centers, and warehouses.

Zheng Baoyin and his team inspected the port for a few days before returning to Hideb.

"Uncle, why don't you go back to China first? I'm constantly worried about you staying here, and I can't sleep peacefully at night."

Inside the underground laboratory, Zheng Baoyin earnestly persuaded him.

Wang Duoyu has been here for quite some time now.

He visited the Somali Peninsula once in April, then again at the end of July, and now it's August.

Twelve days have passed since he arrived on the Somali peninsula.

Given the long duration of the crisis and the chaos on the Arabian Peninsula, Zheng Baoyin was naturally very worried.

They feared the war there would spread to the Somali peninsula, and they also feared the truth would come out on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

No matter which one it is, if something goes wrong, it's a huge deal and can't be taken lightly.

"The emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is. Tell me, if you have something to do, go do your thing; if you don't have anything to do, go read and study. What are you doing standing in front of me all the time?"

Wang Duoyu criticized him irritably, and Zheng Baoyin was about to cry.

"Uncle, you can't be so stubborn!"

"How am I being stubborn?" Wang Duoyu glared at him, then waved his hand impatiently.

"Alright, get lost and don't bother me while I'm doing my work."

He is currently very busy with many complex projects, so he has no time to listen to the other party's idle chatter.

As for leaving the Somali peninsula?
Hmph, there's no rush at all!
The war on the Arabian Peninsula has been going on for quite some time.

Such incidents happen every now and then, because that's just how things are in the Middle East.

Frequent warfare, whether in the Arabian Peninsula or the Somali Peninsula, is commonplace and nothing to be surprised about.

Wang Duoyu is not worried that missiles or cannons from the other side will land on the Somali Peninsula, not only because the Somali Peninsula has now been managed by the Want Want Group and is as solid as an iron barrel.

It has numerous anti-missile and interception devices, including satellites and radar.

The Hidab underground laboratory was built 100 meters underground. How could an enemy missile be so unlucky as to hit it right on its head?
More importantly, apart from executives at Want Want Group, very few people actually knew he was in the Somali peninsula.

If any information or details are missed, he can obtain them through Nuwa's artificial intelligence.

So he had nothing to be afraid of.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Baoyin opened his mouth, but could only leave helplessly.

No matter how worried he was, he couldn't change his uncle's mind. Sigh, he really is a research fanatic.

New York, Manhattan, the office building housing the Quantum Foundation.

"give up!"

Soros looked at the monitor, which showed that the Thai baht had completely collapsed, not depreciated, but appreciated.

In short, Thailand has not backed down or allowed the Thai baht to depreciate.

Since its inception, the Quantum Fund has invested nearly tens of billions of US dollars, an almost frenzied operation.

But, to no avail.

Because the other party is even more terrifying, the funds seem to have no bottom, flowing in continuously.

It's important to understand that it's not just the Quantum Fund that's investing heavily in attacking the Thai market.

There were also Wall Street financial giants like Goldman Sachs, as well as other international speculators, but the tycoons behind Thailand actually managed to withstand it.

Simply incredible.

Now, with the six-month deadline fast approaching, admitting defeat at this point might still salvage some of the losses.

Soros was truly at his breaking point, having exhausted all his resources.

"Should we wait a little longer?"

“No!” Soros waved his hand, his tone resolute.

"Contact them immediately. We need to complete the transaction right away, even if it means incurring some losses!"

"Furthermore, contact Southeast Asia immediately and have them arrange for a few people to stay behind, while the rest of you proceed to Hong Kong Island immediately. We are about to launch an attack on Hong Kong Island."

"I'm going to make back all the money I lost in Southeast Asia in Hong Kong."

Upon hearing this, the subordinates had no choice but to agree, as they couldn't persuade them otherwise.

The news of the Quantum Fund's withdrawal spread quickly.

The Wall Street giants, including Goldman Sachs, were immediately enraged and began to hurl insults.

There are only a few days left, why not persevere a little longer?
They actually retreated ahead of time! It's infuriating!
Despite their anger, everyone decisively notified their Southeast Asian counterparts to immediately liquidate their inventory and evacuate.

If we continue to persist, there is almost no hope of victory.

Because they have already suffered heavy losses, continuing to fight to the bitter end is useless. To this day, they have not been able to find out the secrets of the mysterious capital behind Thailand.

Besides, this mob, driven by their own interests and ulterior motives, is unlikely to unite in their fight against the enemy.

"We've won! Haha!"

In Bangkok, Summit Global Head Lee Efra cheered with excitement.

This is a really good thing for them, Top Global.

Starting last year, or even several years ago, Want Want Group began its expansion into Southeast Asia, and now it has finally reaped the profits.

It's almost predictable that the professor will be all smiles at the year-end summary meeting.

"Yes, we finally won. It was so hard-won."

Beowulf also smiled happily.

As the head of Atlantic Investment Company, Beowulf was very clear about this financial war.

The severity of the battle was unprecedented in the world.

Atlantic Investment Company alone has invested more than 50 billion US dollars.

Of course, if it weren't for the need to conceal funds, it wouldn't necessarily have required paying so much money.

But it's all worth it.

Now that a profit has been made, the next step, namely settlement and taxation, will be crucial.

Of course, whether it's Atlantic Investment Company or Summit Global Capital, these financial companies all have cross-shareholdings and are registered in some island group.

Tax havens, whether they are the Cayman Islands, the Virgin Islands, or Hong Kong Island, are all essentially the same.

The taxes and fees payable are extremely low.

With cross-shareholdings, it is extremely difficult to investigate the true owner behind the scenes.

Just like the CIA's gray income that Tom McKinley previously discovered, it is virtually impossible for outsiders to know where this money comes from or how it is used.

A one-time account would be an excellent choice.

Why do we not see the Morgan, Rockefeller, Rothschild and other top financial groups on the Forbes rich list in later generations?
Tax havens, cross-shareholdings, and one-off accounts are their best means of concealment.

If it weren't for these methods, it would be easy to become the target of public criticism.

"Now that they have withdrawn and we have completed our profit-taking, although the exact profit amount is not yet determined, it will definitely not be less than one hundred billion US dollars."

Lee Efra paused, then continued:

"The Quantum Fund members have all left, either going to Hong Kong or returning to the United States. Shouldn't we keep a close eye on Hong Kong next?"

Previously, Wang Duoyu had already discussed this matter with Li Efra and the others before making the plan.

As is well known, the economic situation and financial policies of Southeast Asia are highly vulnerable to attack.

Moreover, this year is 1997, and Hong Kong Island was successfully returned to China on July 1st.

Therefore, Soros and his group will definitely take advantage of this situation to deal a heavy blow to Hong Kong.

In any case, the wealth accumulated by Hong Kong Island over the past few decades should be enough to feed the financial giants on Wall Street.

Most importantly, international financial giants like the Quantum Fund have suffered huge losses in Southeast Asia.

They'll definitely have to go to Hong Kong Island to make up for their losses.

"Yes, I think there's no problem."

O'Brien immediately agreed, but then added, "Let's have a meeting and ask President Zheng and President Wang, or perhaps the professor will also be attending."

"Ok!"

The executive meeting started quickly; the internet makes things so convenient.

Modern global communication technology is highly advanced, which has brought the distance between people on Earth closer together. No matter where you are on Earth, you can connect anytime, anywhere.

Of course, if it's at the North or South Poles, that's a different story.

After the issue was raised, Wang Jianchao and his colleagues gave their opinions. Of course, they believed that Hong Kong Island should be protected, which was a point that Wang Duoyu had mentioned before.

"Now that the Quantum Fund and the others have already completed their transactions and left, perhaps they've already started causing trouble in Hong Kong?"

Hearing Zheng Baoyin's words, Li Efra nodded and said:
"That's right. Not only did they start making various 'trades' in the stock market last month to pave the way for what's to come, but they also completed their arrangements in the foreign exchange market, futures market, and other sectors."

"In short, their approach this time is different from what they used in Southeast Asian countries. Their methods are relatively mild and simple, not as radical, but the essence remains the same."

"I'm not in such a rush, but this matter is of utmost importance and needs to be moved forward as soon as possible."

Zheng Baoyin immediately said in an annoyed tone:
"Evra, you're really good at talking nonsense. If you're not in a hurry, do you think we are? Besides, this is about making money and saving lives, how could we not be in a hurry?"

"Alright, I think we should implement it immediately and not delay any longer."

This issue was quickly settled, and the next topic was the bribery of the CIA director.

Tom McKinley was given $60 million every month to monitor the CIA's every move regarding the super-dollar factory.

Although today's super-powerful dollar factories are virtually impregnable, they have no worries about being discovered.

Even if people find out, they can only find an ordinary, disguised factory.

So all things considered, there's really no need to waste this money.

However, the money given to Tom McKinley still needs to be paid, and it needs to be done discreetly.

In North America these days, bureaucracy is rampant and political donations are practically legal, so what else matters?

Self-interest is the most important thing.

After discussing it for a while, the matter was settled.

Then the meeting continued to proceed with other business.

Zheng Baoyin and his colleagues value their time, so the meeting doesn't drag on for too long.

When opinions differ, it is best to seek common ground while reserving differences.

These executives have worked together for so many years that they have naturally developed a certain level of understanding.

Besides, all of Want Want Group's major profit-generating segments are very profitable now. So what if Tom McKinley is paid 60 million US dollars a month?

It remains to be seen how long this old guy can stay in this position.

Whether he will still have this money once he steps down is unknown.

Of course, even if this guy stays in the position of CIA director for several years, the money he gets every year is only six or seven hundred million US dollars, and at most no more than one billion US dollars.

How much money is this?

For an individual, of course, there are a great many.

But if the Want Want Group could have all the information from the CIA, that would be well worth it.

Previously, Want Want Group had also collaborated with Tom McKinley's predecessor, Baker Barnes.

However, the latter only requires two hundred million US dollars per year, which is much less.

The circumstances then are different from the current situation, so they cannot be confused.

After the meeting, Lee Efra and his team immediately headed to Hong Kong Island.

But this time, not as many of them came.

Before they could complete their deployment, the preliminary statistics on the profits from Southeast Asia had already been compiled.

"Boss, we've already done the math. In this financial crisis in Southeast Asia, we've profited approximately $160 billion. We'll need some more time to get the exact figures."

"Okay, I know."

After hanging up the phone, Lee Efra immediately sent the message to the executives' internal discussion software.

Wang Duoyu, who happened to be in the underground laboratory of Hideb, was squatting on the toilet when he saw the message posted on his phone.

He was browsing the chat messages in the executive group.

Because these executives would occasionally ask questions and seek help in the group chat.

Therefore, Wang Duoyu could easily learn about the movements of the executives through this group chat.

That being said, this is a very good thing.

After all, the senior executives are often scattered all over the country, and they have to go to various places for inspections, so they don't get together every day.

With such group chat software, everyone can exchange information anytime, anywhere.

For example, the profit information that Li Efra just released was quickly overshadowed by the envy of Wang Jianchao, Wang Meili, Xue Lisheng and others.

Financial companies are indeed one of the most profitable industries; their speed of making money is simply unbeatable.

This is profit, after all. Although the exact net profit hasn't been calculated yet, the fact that it's so much is truly astonishing.

Furthermore, according to Wang Duoyu's previous predictions, these Wall Street financial giants will then extend the impact of this financial tsunami to other places such as Seoul and Tokyo.

In fact, the financial storm has already begun in these places, but we haven't reached the peak of the storm yet.

After all, the economic ties between Southeast Asia and East Asia are very close. The financial crisis in Southeast Asia occurred half a year ago, and so much time has passed since then, so naturally it has already had an impact.

"Well, well done!"

Wang Duoyu also replied in the group, then turned off his phone and went back to work.

Back in his office, he pondered whether to end the 'experiment' in Africa.

The satellite launch base has been built, and although there are some outside eyes watching, it is insignificant.

With the support of satellites and radar, coupled with the impregnable Somali Peninsula, no outside eye can succeed in spying on us.

Therefore, Wang Duoyu is not afraid of these external forces.

However, he did stay here for quite a while, and Liu Xiaoli and the children have repeatedly urged him to return to Harbin, since school is about to start.

"Then go back."

Half an hour later, he made a decision and felt much more relaxed.

The very next day, he boarded a plane and left the Somali peninsula.

This flight route, however, bypassed the Arabian Peninsula because fighting was taking place there.

If you were to be attacked by a missile or intercepted by a fighter jet, it would be no laughing matter.

Of course, Wang Duoyu was not afraid, because if such a fighter jet really caused trouble, he would not mind arranging for the Longxiao stealth fighter jet to deal with it.

To reiterate, with the presence of satellites and the Nuwa AI, any other unidentified aircraft approaching Wang Duoyu's flight will be closely monitored.

If there are any other intentions, then a warning will naturally be issued.

Fortunately, the whole process went smoothly and the plane landed safely in the ALD area.

After arriving at their destination, Wang Duoyu secretly returned to the laboratory, and Huang Deming was finally able to retire successfully.

After a long flight, he didn't return to Harbin immediately. Instead, he rested for a while before heading back the next day.

On his way back to Harbin, he was thinking about how to develop a faster passenger plane.

Because it's too difficult to operate large passenger planes with speeds exceeding Mach 2.

The Concorde is about to be retired from service.

To develop such a system, we must refer to the Concorde aircraft case and solve the problems one by one.

But is it really that simple?

The plane landed safely at Harbin Airport a few hours later.

To Wang Duoyu's surprise, Liu Xiaoli and the others actually came to the airport to greet him.

"Dad, you're finally back." (End of Chapter)
