1997 was a truly magical year.

At the beginning of the year, a lot of big things happened.

Wang Duoyu didn't get involved because it wasn't really his concern.

A major event occurred mid-year: Hong Kong Island returned home.

Although he was invited, he did not go to the event.

There's no need to relive what you've experienced in your past life.

Moreover, such a thing is indeed inappropriate for someone like him who is engaged in academic pursuits.

At the end of August, after returning to Harbin, Wang Yifei and her classmates started school a few days later.

At the start of the new semester, ten-year-old Wang Yifei officially enrolled in the first year of junior high school.

She started sixth grade last September and took the entrance exam for junior high school this summer, achieving the highest score in the entire school.

Although getting a perfect score in elementary school is not unusual.

But Wang Yifei skipped two grades, was two years younger than her peers, and was still ranked first in the whole school, which is enough to prove her excellence.

Even if she can't compare to her older brothers, she's still amazing.

So at home, she can't hold her tail up, but outside, she's still a little arrogant.

"Dad, when can I release an album?"

On a September evening, after finishing her practice and returning home, Wang Yifei raised her question.

At this moment, she was already quite impatient.

“I think I’m ready now, and I can assure my dad that I definitely won’t let the album interfere with my studies.”

Before Wang Duoyu could speak, Liu Xiaoli had already scolded him:
"Hmph, no way. Just because you say it won't have any impact doesn't mean it really won't."

"Let's talk about it after you take your final exams this semester."

"You're in the first year of junior high now, which means you'll be studying seven subjects. And if you want to skip a grade and finish junior high in two years, you'll need to put in even more time."

"So stop daydreaming, just finish high school and release an album after you go to college. You're too young now."

At that time, entertainment trends were indeed very popular in Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

The Four Heavenly Kings, international stars, and so on—there are too many to count.

Wang Yifei, being a young woman, is often exposed to many new things, which makes her yearn for the entertainment industry even more.

After all, she also hoped to see her name in the newspapers.

"Mom, I'm as tall as you now, how can I still be considered a child?" Wang Yifei immediately became anxious.

"Besides, I've said it before, even if I release an album, it won't affect my studies. You know how hard I work now."

Liu Xiaoli snorted coldly and disdainfully pushed her daughter aside:
"Don't block my view of the TV."

"Dad~~~"

Seeing that her mother wouldn't help her, Wang Yifei could only whine to her father.

But her father, who had always been very receptive to her charms, now shook his head:

"Sisi, you're still so young. Don't rush things. Let's discuss this again after you go to high school, okay?"

"No, Dad, you're lying. Three years after three years, humph, in three more years, I'll be all grown up. By then, I'll be able to make my own decisions, and I won't need you to make decisions for me anymore."

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu narrowed his eyes:
"So you think you're all grown up now, huh?"

Danger! Danger!
Seeing the look in her father's eyes, Wang Yifei's heart pounded, and she quickly acted coquettishly, no longer daring to say anything harsh or hurtful.

In this family, offending her mother is not a big deal, but offending her father will definitely lead to serious trouble.

Although her father always doted on her and rarely lost his temper with her, let alone resorted to violence.

But because of this, she was afraid every time she saw her father squint.

Therefore, admitting defeat in time is the right thing to do.

"Okay, let's leave it at that."

After a pause, Wang Duoyu suddenly said:

"If you promise me that you can get first place in your grade this winter break, I mean first place in all subjects, in the entire grade."

"If you can do that, then I promise you, starting from winter break, I will support you in releasing an album, provided your grades don't drop."

what! ! !
Before she could even finish speaking, Wang Yifei screamed with ecstatic joy.

Finally, she saw the light at the end of the tunnel, and of course she was overjoyed.

Wang Duoyu had to cover his ears.

Liu Xiaoli roared at the little guy, telling him to shut up.

Wang Junhong, Wang Junan, Wang Junkang, and Bai Doufu, along with the other children, all cast 'angry' glances their way.

Wang Yifei's outburst triggered a chain reaction, making the entire living room too noisy and causing everyone great annoyance.

"Dad, I promise you, I promise I can do it."

"XiXi, don't rush, let me finish what I have to say."

Wang Duoyu had to restrain his excited daughter and said:

"First of all, I will have higher expectations for you, not only in terms of academic performance, but also in terms of your singing."

"Since you want to enter the entertainment industry, you probably won't be able to skip grades anymore. So you need to finish junior high, high school, and university like other kids your age. Only then can I allow you to work full-time. Otherwise, you can only work during summer and winter vacations. Do you understand?"

The little guy nodded repeatedly.

In order to release an album, she wouldn't care about anything else.
Instead of discouraging her, her three older brothers encouraged her.

Especially her third brother, who gave her a thumbs up and said:

"Wang Yifei, I support you. If you ever need any help from your third brother in the future, just come to me."

The older brother nodded and smiled, echoing the sentiment:
"Yes, you can call me if you need tutoring."

The second brother said he could also help.

At this moment, Bai Doufu joined in the fun: "Sister, I can help you too. I'll help you carry your things. Am I a good girl?"

"Good girl." Wang Yifei patted her little sister's head, but the next moment, the little one blinked her pure and lovely big eyes:

"Could you give me a piece of candy, sister?"

Haha!

Seeing how cute the white tofu was, the whole family burst into laughter.

"No, Mom and Dad said you can't eat so much candy."

Bai Doufu, who is almost four years old, is very cute with her delicate features.

However, she has one drawback: she especially loves eating candy and snacks, particularly hawthorn and White Rabbit milk candy, which are her favorites.

She's usually like a little hamster, constantly rummaging through her room for snacks.

Although she still doesn't have her own room, she has her own little room and goes back to it from time to time.

"Hmph, I don't like you anymore."

Upon hearing this, Bai Doufu's face immediately darkened, and he turned and left with a grumble.

She was so adorable that she made the whole family laugh even more.

In Hong Kong, the Asian financial crisis has begun, and many people are becoming increasingly uneasy.

The storm has now started on Hong Kong Island and is quite fierce.

This time it's not entirely the same as the previous ones in Bangkok and Singapore, because it came on strong and very quickly, and the amount of money involved is extremely large.

Previously, when they were in Southeast Asia, those international speculators on Wall Street would also diversify their funds in other places.

But this time, they concentrated all their funds in Hong Kong Island.

Hong Kong stocks and other commodities were all affected; in fact, it could be said that all trading companies in Hong Kong were impacted.

Because Soros and his team launched a coordinated attack this time, targeting the foreign exchange market, stock market, and futures market.

Therefore, the entire Hong Kong Island was affected in a very short period of time.

It's important to know that most businesses on Hong Kong Island are foreign trade companies with very close international ties.

After all, this is an international financial, duty-free paradise, and shopping paradise.

Fortunately, Want Want Group quickly launched a counterattack.

In particular, Yibao Investment, Huasheng Bank, and Maochang Bank.

These three financial companies are the giant enterprises of Want Want Group in Hong Kong Island, and their capital is very strong.

Furthermore, since they are local companies, they naturally don't need to hide their financial resources. They can simply side with Hong Kong and launch a strong counterattack against companies like Quantum Fund. Therefore, in less than a day since the start of the battle, Yibao Investment and its partners have already repelled the fierce attack.

However, Soros and his men had already gone mad, so they immediately resorted to harsh measures.

They directly targeted the foreign exchange market, manipulating the US dollar, gold, and oil to exert external pressure and cause economic turmoil in Hong Kong.

Unfortunately, starting in the 1970s, Hong Kong's exchange rate changed from being pegged to the British pound to floating with the US dollar.

Simply put, for every HK$100 issued, the three issuing banks—HSBC, BOC, and Standard Chartered—must deposit US$1 with the Hong Kong Monetary Authority as foreign exchange reserves.

Therefore, the Hong Kong dollar is nothing more than a 'puppet currency' of the US dollar.

Given the strong correlation between the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar, external pressure can be exerted to severely impact Hong Kong's financial market.

In this respect, the strategies employed by international financial speculators such as the Quantum Fund in dealing with Hong Kong Island differ from those employed by Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore.

In the following days, financial companies under the Want Want Group, such as Yibao Investment, also launched a fierce counterattack against international speculators such as Quantum Fund in markets both inside and outside Hong Kong.

The two sides traded blows, making for a very intense match.

After nearly a week of intense attacks, Soros decisively gave up again and chose to flee.

Because he realized once again that even the mainland had not yet made a strong announcement to rescue the market in Hong Kong.

As a result, these Wall Street speculators were once again blocked by mysterious funds.

On the other hand, there are several Hong Kong local financial companies such as Yibao Investment, which are too powerful. Where do they get so much money?

Knowing that the outcome would be unfavorable, the Quantum Fund decisively withdrew at Soros's command.

They've already completely missed this point in time.
It should be noted that their original plan was to teach Hong Kong Island a lesson in early July.

But now, due to the situation in Southeast Asia, they have been delayed until September.

If they continue to delay, they can forget about making any profits from Seoul, Tokyo, and other places.

As soon as Soros left, the other financial giants on Wall Street immediately launched into another round of scathing attacks.

They were all completely baffled by the Quantum Fund's incredible actions.

They were all allies, but now that things are hopeless, the Quantum Foundation is the first to run away. Isn't that just too much?
When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent.

After the Quantum Fund withdrew, the offensive momentum also slowed down and quickly turned into a decline.

It was truly a complete rout.

The battle to defend Hong Kong's financial sector is considered over. Want Want Group didn't make much money; at most, it earned some hard-earned cash.

Of course, these people on Wall Street were indeed a bit cunning; they ran away as soon as they sensed something was wrong.

They gave Yibao Investment and other companies absolutely no chance.

Therefore, after final consolidation and statistics, Want Want Group only made a profit of over 10 billion US dollars in the battle to defend Hong Kong's financial stability.

It can't really compare to Southeast Asia, but it's still pretty good.

The Asian financial crisis has swept over Seoul and Tokyo.

This time, Want Want Group acted even faster.

Yes, this time it's not about standing against Wall Street and other international speculators, but about taking the lead and overturning the table.

Therefore, the current strategy is to exploit the time difference, lock in profits in advance, grab the largest slice of the pie, and let the Quantum Fund and other Wall Street giants divide the rest.

It's quite interesting, really. Throughout late September, October, and November, the markets in Seoul and Tokyo were not doing very well.

Tokyo, in particular, had already been looted before.

How many years has it been?
They've been plundered again. No wonder life is so difficult for the Japanese living in Tokyo.

However, they brought all of this on themselves, and they have no one to blame but themselves.

If they hadn't mistaken their enemy for their father, things wouldn't have come to this.
As for why they recognized a thief as their father, it was a choice they were forced to make back then.

Because if they hadn't done that, their entire clan would have been wiped out.

It's quite remarkable that their people have been able to continue to exist today.

Even recognizing a thief as one's father is better than having one's entire clan wiped out.

As November arrives, winter begins in the Northern Hemisphere.

At this point, the Asian financial crisis had largely come to an end.

At this point, eleven months had passed since Jefferson Clinton became president.

What exactly did he do? What will his public approval rating be like now?

CIA Director Tom McKinley, who had been ordered to crack the counterfeit money ring within a specified timeframe, received a phone call at this time.

After reflecting for a few days, Jefferson Clinton realized that he had been in office for almost a year and had accomplished almost nothing.

It's all because we don't have money.

Counterfeit money rings are still around, the Federal Reserve is issuing dollars more and more recklessly, inflation is rising, and the unemployment rate is not only not falling, but is soaring.

It's worth noting that Jefferson and Clinton signed numerous related policies, yet the unemployment rate still continued to rise.

It's simply outrageous.

So after thinking it over, he realized that the crux of the problem lay in the case of the counterfeit money ring.

If he couldn't crack this counterfeit money ring, then there wasn't much Jefferson Clinton could do.

"I've already made the arrangements. Over the past few months, we've cracked down on several factories and arrested many core members of counterfeit money rings."

On the phone, Tom McKinley was giving a serious work report.

It wasn't that he hadn't tried; he simply couldn't pinpoint the location of the counterfeit money ring's actual factory.

Although he suspected that the counterfeit money ring might be playing a game of deception, he had already conducted a thorough investigation and found that there were no factories in the United States that met the criteria for producing counterfeit money.

Even if something is suspicious or seems unusual, it has already been investigated several times.

So he really had no other choice.

What else can be done?

Cold!

Inside the White House office, the handsome and dashing Jefferson Clinton had a furrowed brow.

If his female fans saw him looking so melancholy and furrowed brows yet so earnest and hardworking, they would be heartbroken.

"Come to the White House for a meeting next Monday."

After careful consideration, Jefferson Clinton made arrangements.

After hanging up the phone, he contacted the Federal Reserve and had someone contact several other agencies, including the National Security Agency.

Monday arrived in the blink of an eye, and all the department heads gathered at the White House for a meeting to officially begin regarding the counterfeit money ring.

This time, Jefferson Clinton spearheaded the investigation, with the Federal Reserve taking the lead and the CIA as the main force, supplemented by joint investigations and assistance from the National Security Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

In short, everything is prioritized over the counterfeit money ring case; everything else has to take a backseat.

Jefferson Clinton took a very tough stance, demanding that the Federal Reserve and other parties cooperate actively in resolving the matter within a month.

We cannot delay any longer, and we absolutely cannot continue to delay like this.

Inside the study villa on the lake island of Harbin Institute of Technology, Weizigou Campus, Harbin.

Wang Duoyu has perfected the relevant technology and is preparing to go to the Somali Peninsula again in a while.

However, Huang Deming rejected his idea.

It's almost December now, which isn't a good time to visit the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Even though there is an airport on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it has been snowing heavily there recently, and heavy snow is expected to continue for the next week.

The entire plateau region has been blocked by heavy snow, so going there now is not appropriate; it's too dangerous.

"Next week then."

Unable to cope with the delay, Wang Duoyu could only try to distract himself.

He doesn't publish papers very often now, but he still publishes one or two a year. The frequency isn't high, but it's much higher than many other people.

After finishing his paper, he was about to open his email and send it to Andrew Wiles when he saw a message on his screen.

"Huh? Is the US president up to something?"

The intelligence detection was screened by Nuwa's artificial intelligence. This was a program that Wang Duoyu had previously set for the importance level, and Nuwa could automatically extract it.

The intelligence came from the White House, because they have surveillance capabilities and can transmit information in real time via the internet.

Since Jefferson and Clinton personally spearheaded this matter, its seriousness is self-evident.

Whether this will expose the massive US dollar factory is hard to say. (End of Chapter)
