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

A tall building in Manhattan, New York City—the New York headquarters of the Want Want Group.

After hanging up the phone, Martinez calmly arranged for an investigation to find out who had leaked the information about Stanislav Kelly being surrounded in Jakarta.

The CIA agents have already deployed personnel from various branches, including Singapore, to Jakarta to carry out a "dumpling operation" against Stanislav.

What does it say?
There is only one truth: the CIA's intelligence system is incredibly sophisticated. They not only knew the details of Stanislav's transaction with the Hatono family, such as the time and location, in advance, but also...

That's why the CIA was able to make such thorough preparations, directly deploying a team of nearly a thousand people.

Even so, with so many people acting together, not a single word leaked out.

If he can't handle this, then Martinez will really be in for a lot of criticism.

After all, it was Wang Duoyu who personally called him to tell him about this.

Two hours later, before Martinez had received any relevant intelligence, he received a call from Stanislav Kelly.

"Boss, we've left, but this deal has failed. We haven't handed over the money."

On the other end of the phone, Stanislav Kelly's voice was very low; he was admitting his mistake.

He believed it was his own fault for not managing his subordinates well.

Martinez, with a cold face, didn't say much nonsense, indicating that the other party should return to North America immediately, but only after getting rid of the tail.

Upon hearing this, Stanislav Kelly immediately assured him that he would definitely not let anyone follow them.

After ending the call, Martinez was quickly notified that he would attend an emergency executive meeting three hours later.

This meeting was proposed by Wang Duoyu, and all senior executives of Want Want Group are required to attend.

When the time came, everyone appeared in the video chat room on time.

Wang Duoyu was making the video from his room in the Harbin Institute of Technology study villa, with the wall of books he had collected in the background.

"Is everyone here? Is anyone missing?"

After asking a question and receiving a clear answer confirming that everyone had arrived on time and that their communication lines were working properly, Wang Duoyu began:
"Today's meeting topic is related to the incident a couple of days ago in Jakarta where Stanislav Kelly, a sales representative for Super Dollar Factory, was besieged."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was moved.

Martinez appeared calm on the surface, but inside he was in a panic.

Being directly named is not good news.

Although Wang Duoyu doesn't manage the Want Want Group much, Martinez is terrified of him.

Of course, he himself would not admit that it was fear, but rather that it was respect.

Everyone in the world knows that Wang Duoyu is an extremely intelligent person; his nickname "Emperor of Mathematics" is well-deserved.

Zheng Baoyin was also pondering whether his uncle was asking everyone to reflect on their actions.

Over the years, Super Dollar Factory has encountered many problems, with many sales staff frequently being arrested or killed.

Although no sales staff have been captured alive so far, preventing the CIA from obtaining relevant intelligence, the super dollar factory has been preserved.

However, despite continuous analysis, salespeople are still being discovered and targeted.

This is not good news.

Perhaps Wang Duoyu convened this meeting today because he was angry and resentful?

"This is a well-worn topic, and I think you all know what it means."

Wang Duoyu said expressionlessly:

"The frequent occurrence of so many problems, leading to so many sales mishaps, is related to you executives, to the salespeople, and to our intelligence system."

"The case of Stanislav Kelly serves as a wake-up call for us. If we continue down this path, it's only a matter of time before we're caught."

"I don't want to waste any more words. After the meeting, you should reflect on this and see if there are any remedial measures you can take."

Although it is still unknown who leaked the intelligence, this incident is entirely related to Stanislav's lack of caution.

Of course, that's not what Wang Duoyu wanted to emphasize; what he wanted to talk about was the Nuwa artificial intelligence system.

"I can't help you with other things, but I can help you with intelligence."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

Martinez was very happy, but also felt very guilty.

As a subordinate, he should have been helping Wang Duoyu, the major shareholder, solve his problems, but unexpectedly, it was the other party who helped him, the subordinate, find a way to solve the problem.

"I have an intelligence system that can be activated at any time."

“But I can’t keep an eye on things 24/7, so I need to assign two of you senior executives to be on rotating intelligence posts to ensure that someone can get intelligence at any time.”

"Take the Stanislav case as an example. I actually received the intelligence five hours before the transaction began, but unfortunately I was still fast asleep at the time, so I was unable to pass on the intelligence immediately."

"This can be improved after today."

hiss!
Martinez and the others couldn't help but gasp.

Zheng Baoyin, Wang Jianchao, Wang Meili, and the others stared wide-eyed in astonishment, their eyes agape like copper bells.

Dai Ronghua took the initiative to ask:
"Professor, is this intelligence system related to artificial intelligence?"

"Ok!"

Wang Duoyu glanced at the other person in surprise:
"There is indeed a connection, but don't even think about it. I'm not going to allow it to be commercialized in the next few years."

"Really? Professor, that's wonderful!"

Upon receiving the accurate information, Dai Ronghua was immediately overjoyed.

He had just been speculating whether it was related to artificial intelligence, and it turns out it really is.

This is an artificial intelligence system! This thing is extraordinary because it represents the future and the direction of technological development.

He was originally the head of Huachen Mobile, and the development direction of smartphones has always been the point he most wanted to break through.

However, artificial intelligence is not so easy.

Previously, he had only heard Zheng Baoyin and others mention that Wang Duoyu had been developing artificial intelligence, but Wang Duoyu kept it a secret, so others were naturally not very clear about it.

But to everyone's surprise, the artificial intelligence system developed by Wang Duoyu was already capable of intercepting intelligence systems. That's just too amazing!
Honestly, this speed of technological development is faster than a 100-meter sprinter.

"Professor, may I ask, what exactly is this artificial intelligence system like? And to what extent can it achieve?"

Wang Duoyu heard this and shook his head:

"I can't tell you right now, and that's not the topic of today's meeting."

"Your Huachen Mobile Company can conduct research and development in artificial intelligence, but I will not be providing you with technical support in this area in the short term."

"Alright, that's all I have to say. You can discuss this further in your own meetings. Intelligence is indeed very important, but you need to be strong yourself. You can't rely on the intelligence system. Think more about how to avoid similar situations in the future."

“Those salespeople are hard to train, so you need to supervise them more closely and not let some negative personality traits ruin their lives.”

For example, the case of Stanislav Kelly could have been completely avoided, but he was somewhat arrogant.

This is why such an accident occurred.

Wang Duoyu disconnected, and Zheng Baoyin and the others immediately started discussing it in the chat room.

This matter definitely needs to be discussed, and we must come up with a practical and feasible solution.

The specifics of who will take turns on duty and how to ensure that such intelligence information is not missed or leaked are all points they need to discuss themselves.

While everyone was discussing the matter anxiously, Dai Ronghua was pondering a question: Could their chat room be under the surveillance of Professor Wang's artificial intelligence system?

Dai Ronghua couldn't verify this question, but that didn't stop him from making guesses.

Who could blame Wang Duoyu for having extraordinary abilities and superb skills?

That's an artificial intelligence system! It can actually collect intelligence in real time. That kind of ability is just too incredible.

"I really don't know how Professor Wang did it, and I don't know what specific capabilities that artificial intelligence system possesses."

Dai Ronghua secretly guessed, but he was afraid he would have a hard time getting accurate information unless Wang Duoyu announced the existence of this artificial intelligence system a few years later.

But at that time, it would probably not be the latest version of the artificial intelligence system, but rather a subsystem of the system, or a reduced version.

On the other side, in Harbin.

Wang Yifei ran home excitedly, shouting loudly as she ran:

"Daddy, Daddy, I finally finished!" In the living room, Wang Duoyu was playing a game with Bai Doufu, and the little girl was pulling her father along to practice mental arithmetic.

I don't know who told this little guy, Bai Doufu, that more practice can exercise the brain.

What is 93 + 96?

The little guy opened his eyes wide, his mind raced, and after a while he finally spoke:

"189!"

Bai Doufu spoke in a clear, crisp voice, with absolute certainty.

Liu Xiaoli, who was standing nearby, immediately smiled and asked:

"How is it calculated?"

“90+10=100，再加上80等于180，3+6=9，180+9=189。”

The little guy is only five years old this year, not even five years old yet, but he's really smart.

Even for adults, it's not easy to mentally calculate the result so quickly.

Liu Xiaoli was immediately surprised:
"My dear daughter, how are you so smart? Mommy wants to reward you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Wang Yifei had already rushed in.

"Dad, I finally passed! The recording of my last song is finished, and the album can be released now..."

Wang Yifei was very excited, her cheeks flushed with excitement, making her look very cute.

During the winter vacation more than half a year ago, she met the academic requirements set by her father, and he kept his promise and collected songs for her.

At this point in 1998, although technological innovation had already entered the Internet era.

MP3 players and smartphones coexisted, almost equivalent to the 2010 era in the original timeline.

However, there is still a large market for releasing albums.

With cassette tapes, DVDs, and internet copyrights, singers have many avenues for income once a song is released.

Because of the existence of Want Want Group and many companies under Harbin Institute of Technology in this time and space, they joined forces to combat piracy.

Therefore, the scale of piracy in China is only a few percent of that in the original timeline.

As for completely eliminating piracy, that is very difficult, because profit drives people crazy, and there will always be people who take risks.

In the entertainment industry, among stars of the same level, singers earn far more than movie stars, while TV drama stars earn even less.

As long as an album can be released in mainland China, the sales will generally not be less than 100,000 copies, and the singer's income will not be less than one million per year.

If you were to do gigs or other similar activities, your income would be even higher.

Therefore, the past few years can be described as an era of fierce competition among top players.

There are many great songs, making the competition extremely fierce and brutal.

However, none of this has much to do with Wang Yifei, because she entered the entertainment industry, or rather, she just wanted to sing, that's all.

She has no shortage of money; over the years, she has accumulated more than ten million yuan in her own savings.

She doesn't usually spend much money, so her parents basically cover all her expenses.

However, she still wanted to make a name for herself in the singing industry, so the songs her father collected for her were almost all masterpieces.

For example, "Youth Training Manual", "I Don't Want to Grow Up", "Gardenia Blossoms", "Lilac", "Those Flowers", "Hello Tomorrow", etc.

These are all excellent songs, widely sung in their original timeline, and are considered classics.

It is also a song that is quite suitable for Wang Yifei to sing.

However, several of these songs are quite difficult to sing, or rather, it won't be easy for Wang Yifei to sing them well, considering she is only eleven years old this year.

too young!

The voice was too young, so the singing naturally lacked the right feel.

For example, when Wang Yifei sings about lilacs or other flowers, the original charm is naturally lost.

But what can she do when her father is rich?

When you unleash your financial power, you'll be invincible.

Of course, several songs on this playlist were melodies that Wang Duoyu himself hummed, and he arranged for someone to help complete the entire song.

Take the song "Manual of Youth" for example. That song was originally from 2014, while it's only 1998 now. The time difference is too great.

"Really? Wang Yifei, you can finally release an album?"

Wang Jun'an was astonished. She immediately nodded excitedly, then hugged her father's arm and kissed him.
"Dad, I'm going to release an album soon and make a lot of money! I heard that singers make tons of money, Dad. I'll take care of you from now on."

Before Wang Duoyu could speak, Wang Junkang, who came out of the room, couldn't help but laugh:

"Wang Yifei, you're overthinking it. Does your father need you to support him? You have no idea how much money your father has now, tsk tsk. And even if you release an album, you won't earn much money, right? I heard from your father that the supercomputer in the study next door costs hundreds of thousands in electricity every month. Are you going to pay that bill?"

Regarding the monthly electricity costs of the supercomputer in the study villa, Wang Duoyu had instructed Liu Xiaoli and the children not to tell anyone outside about it.

It's fine if family members know, but only family members.

Although the secrecy surrounding this matter isn't very high, it's best not to tell anyone if you can avoid it.

In reality, the monthly electricity bill is not several hundred thousand yuan, but more than two million yuan.

That bill of several hundred thousand yuan was just the power consumption of one of the supercomputers, and it was from two years ago.

It just so happened that Wang Jun'an and his family saw it, and Wang Duoyu didn't have time to react, so the family started talking about it.

Only then did he instruct Liu Xiaoli and the others to keep it a secret.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yifei's face flushed red, and she said angrily:

"At least I've started making money, but what about you, Wang Laosan?"

Let alone the fact that she hasn't released an album yet, even if she had, asking her to pay her father's monthly electricity bill of several hundred thousand yuan would indeed be a difficult task for her.

However, when she refuted this, she didn't mention that her father's bills were due to work, otherwise her third brother would have been speechless.

"Tch, I don't have your kind of vanity," Wang Junkang scoffed.

"You've stopped calling me 'Third Brother'? Wang Yifei, looks like you're asking for a beating."

In families with many siblings, arguments are inevitable.

In times of material scarcity, people would quarrel over things like food, shelter, and clothing. For example, when Wang Duoyu was a child, he was the ninth child in his family, so he had to wear his older siblings' hand-me-downs.

Wearing new clothes is a very rare occurrence.

However, with the abundance of material goods nowadays, it's still possible that Wang Yifei and her siblings might feel that their parents didn't achieve complete 'fairness,' leading other children to feel that it's unfair.

They might just mutter a few words, but deep down they're definitely not satisfied.

Of course, Wang Yifei and the others are still young, and they have been arguing like this for so many years, so their family is used to it.

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu interrupted:

"You two siblings, shut up. You fight the moment you see each other. Were you enemies in your past lives? Just shut up."

After scolding them both, Wang Duoyu continued:

"Sisi, I won't say anything more about you. Although you've finished recording all the songs, it's almost October, and the midterm exams are just around the corner."

"I think you shouldn't be too happy yet. You should be worried about your exam results, not whether your album will get good grades after its release."

Because Wang Yifei's album will hardly be promoted at all.

Or rather, she basically won't go to any TV stations or other places to promote the album. At most, she might arrange for someone to help her with chart rankings, but she's definitely not going to participate in any events.

Wang Duoyu would definitely not let her participate.

Of course, with so many companies under the Want Want Group, if they allocate even a little bit of resources to her, the promotion of her album will be substantial.

Moreover, these songs are all of good quality. Wang Duoyu had also heard her sing "Youth Training Manual" before, and it was quite good, very youthful and energetic.

So, to put it simply, her album shouldn't be too bad.

"what?"

In an instant, Wang Yifei was dumbfounded. (End of Chapter)
