Chapter 514 Licking Wounds - A Super Giant
Inside the courtyard on Wenjin Street, Wang Duoyu was still reporting on his work.
Regarding the first matter, it is a systemic project that is closely related to electricity, transportation, energy planning, and so on.
Therefore, this is not something that can be finalized in a short period of time.
Wang Duoyu only provided a feasible plan, but he would not, and could not, decide whether to proceed according to the plan.
In any case, the leaders will definitely hold another meeting with other experts to discuss the matter.
It's already quite impressive that they were able to finalize the deal within six months.
The second matter concerns the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.
According to the original timeline of history, this summer, the plains of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River will experience a once-in-a-century flood.
In Wang Duoyu's mind, prevention is always the best option.
If we can minimize the losses, then it's all worth it.
Based on past flood experience, Wang Duoyu suggested to his superiors that more drones and other equipment be installed in various branches of Want Want Group located in the plains of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
In the event of any unforeseen circumstances, the drone will immediately initiate a rescue plan.
Both matters have been reported, and it is already past 11 a.m. It seems that he will not be able to accompany Bai Doufu to visit the Forbidden City.
So in the afternoon, he accompanied the little guy to the Summer Palace for a stroll.
Her older siblings, Wang Duoyu and Liu Xiaoli, often accompany her, so Bai Doufu is the same. Even when she is about to start kindergarten, the couple will try their best to take her out to play as much as possible.
After spending a few days in Beijing, the plane took off again, heading straight for the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
This time, Liu Xiaoli didn't go with them, so things became very simple.
Huang Deming was assigned to stay in the laboratory in the ALD area for "seclusion," while Wang Duoyu went to the Somali Peninsula.
When Wang Duoyu returned to this place, he could clearly feel that it had come alive again.
The port of Perbera has begun expansion because there are not enough spaces for ships to dock.
More and more large ships are docking at the port of Pebera when passing through the Gulf of Aden.
In the past, this would have been impossible.
Because even if we were to dock, it would be in neighboring Djibouti.
After all, Djibouti has military bases of many countries, and in terms of security, the port of Berbera can't even come close.
After listening to the report from Yabo Fein and the others, Wang Duoyu nodded to indicate that he understood.
This is a good thing. As long as the economy of the Somali Peninsula develops within a controllable range, there is nothing to fear.
However, when he heard that several European and American investment companies, including English Capital, had come to the Somali Peninsula for inspection and seemed to have investment intentions, he immediately showed a curious expression:
"Oh, you mean they're from Europe and America? What's their background? Who's behind them?"
"The investigation is still ongoing; nothing has been found so far."
Zheng Baoyin said awkwardly.
Wang Duoyu nodded in response, saying, "Then let's continue investigating. If they don't have any major problems, then at the same time, let's get these funds to settle in the Somali peninsula. By the way, put on a good show, don't scare them away."
Although Want Want Group is a large and powerful company, it has no need for this European and American capital.
But it doesn't matter. As long as these European and American capital companies are willing, then Wang Duoyu certainly doesn't need to push these people away.
The Somali peninsula doesn't offer many benefits, but its geographical location is extremely important.
Regardless of what Europe and America think, as long as Wang Duoyu lives, the Somali Peninsula will remain in its current state.
Even if space tourism projects emerge in the future, that won't change in a short period of time.
In the time before Wang Duoyu traveled through time, space tourism was no longer a rare or unusual activity.
However, such projects are simply not something that ordinary wealthy people can afford, because unless you are extremely wealthy, you simply don't have the money to sign up.
Each trip to space costs $55 million per person, just for a few days on the International Space Station.
Who the hell can afford to play a project like this?
Therefore, in the short term, the outside world cannot change the status quo of conducting so-called space tourism projects at the satellite launch base on the Somali Peninsula.
After quickly finishing these tasks, Wang Duoyu arrived at the underground laboratory and began his work.
New York, Wall Street, Quantum Fund headquarters building.
In May, the European Union held a summit in Brussels and finalized the list of eleven founding members.
Upon seeing this news, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Soros's gloomy eyes.
"You all need to keep a close eye on the EU immediately; I need more intelligence."
"Soros, shall we begin our operation?"
The subordinate immediately asked excitedly.
With the euro about to be issued, this is certainly a golden opportunity.
There is no doubt that the United States will take action.
Or rather, Jefferson and Clinton would certainly have taken action and wouldn't have stood idly by while the euro was born.
While Soros cannot control political matters, the dollar's status is already quite precarious.
The existence of this counterfeit "super dollar" will undoubtedly make the Federal Reserve keep a close eye on the huge opportunities in Europe.
"Ok!"
Soros nodded expressionlessly, then waved his hand, signaling his subordinate to leave.
At this very moment, he is still licking his wounds.
Last year, during the Asian financial crisis, Quantum Fund, and indeed, arguably the entire Wall Street, didn't make much money in Asia.
Some international speculators even lost a lot of money.
There's no way around it; local Hong Kong companies like Yibao Investment are just too rich.
In Southeast Asia, financial institutions like Summit Global stood in opposition to Quantum Fund and Goldman Sachs, causing their efforts on Wall Street to fall short.
This is simply a great humiliation.
But there's nothing that can be done about it; it's too difficult to get revenge on this matter.
In the current situation, all we can do is keep an eye on the euro.
According to the EU summit, the euro will be issued early next year.
This is indeed a very good thing for the whole of Europe, because a unified currency will make it much more convenient to travel or do business across the continent.
But Wall Street only saw war.
On this day in May, Wang Duoyu also took time out of his heavy scientific research work to fly to the Maldives.
He is a human being, not a god, and of course he needs rest.
Zheng Baoyin, Wang Jianchao, and the others also came.
"Uncle Jiu, we've already leased several islands in the surrounding area, and flights to and from nearby will be restricted. So you can relax and enjoy yourself in the area. By the way, Uncle Jiu, would you like to go sea fishing?"
Wang Duoyu nodded.
So a group of people took a yacht and went out for deep-sea fishing.
"Uncle, I just received a message: the EU held a meeting, and the issuance date for the Euro has been set for New Year's Day next year."
In a sea area near the island, just as Wang Duoyu and his crew's boat docked, Zheng Baoyin suddenly sighed.
Wang Duoyu was unaware of this news.
Because he had been busy with research projects in the underground laboratory for the past period of time.
The Little Sun Project is extremely difficult.
Even though Wang Duoyu has overcome the most difficult problems, such as mathematical modeling, and undertaken most of the calculation work, the latest design is still not perfect.
It was against this backdrop that he agreed to Zheng Baoyin's invitation to come to the Maldives to relax.
I've heard that the Euro is about to be issued, exactly in the same timeline as in the original timeline.
To his surprise, he couldn't help but sigh.
Keep in mind, this is 1998, which means he has been in this time and space for a full twenty years.
He has changed so much history in the past two decades.
However, the powerful inertia of history has not changed.
When will the euro be issued?
Although he influenced the duration of George Herbert's presidency, Jefferson Clinton still ascended to the presidency.
Wang Duoyu knew that history had inertia, but he never expected it to be so different.
Ugh!
"Well, I see."
Nodding, Wang Duoyu cast his fishing hook and began fishing.
"Let's not talk about work today, let's just enjoy fishing. This is actually my first time sea fishing. I've never done this before, so I'll have a good chance to experience it today."
Since he settled down at the Weizigou campus of Harbin Institute of Technology, fishing has become a part of his daily leisure activities.
It's been so long since I've gone sea fishing. I never expected to have this opportunity now.
Moreover, the scenery in front of us is absolutely stunning. The Maldives is one of the three pearls of the Indian Ocean, renowned worldwide for its beautiful scenery.
"Haha, Uncle Jiu, how about we have a competition? Let's see who catches more fish?"
As soon as Wang Jianchao finished speaking, Zheng Baoyin mocked him:
"Jianchao, don't humiliate yourself, okay? Don't you know your uncle's fishing skills?"
"I know!" Wang Jianchao shook his head:
“But Bao Yin, this is the open sea. It’s Uncle Jiu’s first time sea fishing. I refuse to believe I can’t beat him!”
It should be noted that Wang Jianchao is a super-rich tycoon who has indulged in plenty of food, drink, and entertainment over the years, and fishing is a frequent activity for him.
It's fair to say he's spent over two hundred million dollars on fishing.
His sea fishing record is quite impressive.
He once caught three tuna in Australia, which were super big fish weighing two or three hundred kilograms.
Although this is the Indian Ocean, he doesn't think that with his many years of sea fishing experience, he would lose to his Uncle Jiu.
Absolutely impossible!
"Haha, Jianchao, I like your confidence, and I hope you can keep it up."
Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu was overjoyed and burst into laughter.
In fact, if the other party could apply that same confidence and seriousness to their work, then he wouldn't be so worried.
Despite the Wang family's current immense size, there isn't a single business genius among them who can be considered a true business prodigy within the Want Want Group.
Whether it's Zheng Baoyin or Wang Jianchao, they may be very powerful business tycoons on a global scale, but that's just an empty title.
The reason why Want Want Group has not collapsed yet and is still very strong is not because of Zheng Baoyin and Wang Jianchao, nor is it because of Wang Meili, Wang Meihe, Xue Lisheng and their ilk.
It's entirely because of Wang Duoyu.
If anything happens to Wang Duoyu, the Want Want Group will inevitably collapse and disintegrate within three years.
Therefore, despite the fact that Want Want Group is a behemoth now, it faces a very serious crisis.
"Uncle Jiu, then I won't stand on ceremony, and I won't hold back either."
"Bring it on, Jianchao. Just don't cry when you lose."
Since it's a competition, there must be stakes involved.
Zheng Baoyin, Yabo Fein, Dai Ronghua, Li Efra, and others all followed suit and placed bets.
Interestingly, half of the executives favored Wang Duoyu, while the other half favored Wang Jianchao.
Even so, it seems that no one is trying to please Wang Duoyu.
In fact, they are quite cunning.
Because the stakes are not small, whoever catches the smaller fish will give the other party a billion dollars.
Wang Duoyu had other stakes, but the problem was that Wang Jianchao had none, so he could only use money as a stake.
And the executives, including Yabo Fein, who made the bet, each invested $100 million.
The contest lasts three hours, and whoever catches the most fish wins.
The competition officially began, but Wang Duoyu was in no hurry, slowly casting his line.
Half an hour later, Wang Jianchao had already caught several fish weighing seven or eight pounds each.
Temporarily in the lead.
"Uncle Jiu, don't you often go fishing? So much time has passed, why haven't you caught anything yet?"
At this moment, Wang Jianchao caught another fish, a very ordinary grouper.
Seeing his somewhat smug look, Wang Duoyu shook his head:
"It's still early. Fishing requires patience. A temporary lead is useless; the key is to have the last laugh. Hmm, there's movement. Looks like it's taken the bait."
He used a large hook and sank to a depth of over 200 meters.
The fish are fed fresh, live bait.
Soon, Wang Duoyu felt a weight in his hand and exclaimed in surprise.
You can tell that the fish that took the bait was definitely a big one, it was incredibly strong.
The fishing line was rapidly sliding towards the seabed because the large fish on the seabed was frightened and was fleeing to the depths.
However, Wang Duoyu certainly wouldn't let the other party get away so easily.
A tug-of-war has begun.
Upon seeing this, Wang Jianchao became somewhat frightened.
More than ten minutes later, his ninth uncle was still engaged in a tug-of-war with the big fish at the bottom of the sea, which surprised him even more.
Could it really be a big fish?
About ten minutes later, the big fish was finally pulled to the vicinity of the sea surface, and everyone could see its figure.
Everyone exclaimed in surprise, because the huge fish on the surface of the sea was a giant grouper, or as some might say, a giant sea bream.
"It must weigh over 200 pounds, right? That mouth is way too big!"
"It should weigh more than 200 jin, it might even be 300 jin! Jianchao, you're in danger! The fish your uncle caught is so big, he's already guaranteed to win."
Hearing Zheng Baoyin's words, Wang Jianchao curled his lip sourly and stubbornly replied:
"It's still early; the outcome is far from certain."
"Haha, Jianchao, the only thing you're stubborn about is your mouth."
Wang Duoyu laughed loudly and directed Yuan Zuliang to help pull the large grouper onto the yacht.
Before long, Yuan Zuliang and his group pulled up a huge grouper.
Most of the executives immediately came to Wang Duoyu's yacht and gathered around to see the huge giant grouper.
To be honest, this giant grouper is really huge.
Even Wang Jianchao couldn't resist his curiosity and came to his ninth uncle's place.
He couldn't even care about the game anymore.
Haha!
Wang Duoyu laughed smugly and said:
"Jianchao, just look, don't touch! We're in a competition, are you going to surrender now?"
"How could that be? I would never raise the white flag!" Wang Jianchao jumped up in anger, then made a hasty retreat, running back to his yacht to continue the competition.
For the next two hours or so, things quieted down around Wang Duoyu.
On the other hand, Wang Jianchao kept catching fish, especially after the competition had been going on for two hours, when he actually caught a grouper.
Although this giant grouper wasn't as big as his ninth uncle's, it still weighed about 200 jin (100 kg), which was quite large.
With half an hour left in the match, Wang Duoyu caught several small fish weighing five or six pounds each.
Wang Duoyu couldn't understand it. How could there be so many small fish in a sea area that was more than 200 meters deep?
So he used these small fish as bait and threw them all into the sea.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, a big fish took the bait on his hook.
It has to be live bait, and it has to be live bait that has just been caught, in order to have a chance of attracting big fish to bite.
Seeing that his ninth uncle was making a commotion again, Wang Jianchao panicked once more.
This is definitely a big fish; it might be another super-sized creature weighing two or three hundred pounds.
"Uncle Jiu, you can't be that lucky, can you? Another big shipment?"
"Haha, Jianchao, I appreciate your kind words."
Soon, after a tug-of-war with the giant sea creature for about twenty minutes, Wang Duoyu finally pulled it to the surface.
"Wow!!!!"
On the deck, the executives, including Yabo Fein, all exclaimed in surprise.
Even the security personnel, including Yuan Zuliang, were extremely surprised.
Although they didn't quite understand why Wang Duoyu, a researcher, would have such good fishing skills, it was all true.
This massive underwater object, after surfacing, has become clear that it is the same type of cargo as the one that was pulled up earlier.
But it is much larger, weighing at least 300 kilograms.
The giant grouper family is extremely large, but a super giant weighing over 300 kilograms is indeed extremely rare.
Moreover, this is the Maldives, and it is indeed rare to see such a large grouper in such waters.
The key point is that Wang Duoyu actually managed to catch it, which was quite unexpected.
"Jianchao, is there any point in continuing? You've already lost. There are less than four minutes left in the game, and you're probably going to lose for good."
Zheng Baoyin's words, however, made the stubborn Wang Jianchao unable to remain defiant any longer.
Since it's already this late, unless he can catch a giant grouper about the same size as his ninth uncle, he's bound to lose.
But just as he was about to speak, a loud noise came from the fishing rod in his hand.
"It's a big one!!! I might not necessarily lose!" (End of Chapter)
