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

November 12, 1998, Harbin Institute of Technology, Weizigou Campus.

Wang Yifei excitedly ran out of the room.

"Dad, Dad, my album downloads increased by 50,000 today! That's amazing! Did you arrange this, Dad?"

Since she mentioned it to her father, Wang Duoyu, at the beginning of the month, she hasn't paid much attention to album sales.

Because her parents and brothers all advised her to be content with what she has, to take things in stride, and not to have too many expectations.

On the other hand, she also needs to focus entirely on her studies. If she fails to maintain her position as the top student in the entire school in the final exams this semester...

So starting from winter break, she will enter a full-on tutoring mode.

The album's success may be important to her, but it's not important to her family.

Therefore, she must understand the priorities of the matter, otherwise her good days will be over.

At this moment, in the living room, Wang Duoyu was continuing to practice mental arithmetic with Bai Doufu.

"Okay, we understand. I didn't help. You can check the news or comments yourself when you have time, and you should know what's going on."

Wang Duoyu waved his hand, chuckled, and turned back to continue giving Bai Doufu questions.

"Alright then." Wang Yifei pouted, looking a little annoyed.

She was overjoyed, but her father didn't seem so happy.

However, she still sat down, picked up her laptop, and began to check the comments on the music platform.

Not long after, Liu Xiaoli's voice came from the kitchen.

"time to eat!"

pat!

Wang Duoyu stood up, preparing to wash his hands and eat, when he saw that his third brother, Wang Junkang, had already turned on the television.

It's exactly 7 p.m., the time when the evening news starts.

Bai Doufu stood up, opened her eyes to her father, and pitifully wanted a hug. When her father picked her up, she immediately kissed him, but the next moment her brother tickled her, making her giggle.

After commotion for a while, Wang Duoyu gave the third brother a look, took Bai Doufu to wash his hands, and then returned to the dining table to eat.

The family sat down to eat and chat, with the news broadcast playing in the background.

"Good evening, viewers. Today is Thursday, November 12, 1995, the 24th day of the ninth lunar month. Welcome to the 'News Broadcast' program. Today's main content includes..."

Shortly after the show started, Wang Yifei glanced at the 42-inch television on the table in front of her and complained:

"Third Brother, you can watch the news online now. The news on CCTV's evening news is outdated, not fresh at all, and not comprehensive."

"What do you know, Wang Yifei?" Wang Junkang rolled his eyes at her, picked up a piece of braised pork belly, and continued:
"Not everyone is like you, sitting in front of the computer all day. The news broadcast is much better; you can watch it while eating, it doesn't interfere with your work at all."

This wasn't the first time the brother and sister had argued about this.

Everyone has their own ideas, and no one can convince anyone else.

Wang Duoyu and Liu Xiaoli were too lazy to care, because the children would always bicker for one reason or another, and even the couple would quarrel over time, let alone the siblings.

As children grow up, they will inevitably have their own ideas, and it's impossible to control them so much.
However, when Wang Junkang seized on Wang Yifei's shortcomings in singing and relentlessly attacked and belittled her, Wang Duoyu spoke up to stop him.

Some things can be said, but some things that are too excessive or hurtful should not be said.

After all, they are siblings!
"Mom and Dad, I'm full. I'm going back to my room now, hmph!"

The final "humph" was directed at her third brother, clearly expressing her dissatisfaction.

However, when she tried to go back to her room, Liu Xiaoli stopped her.

"Don't rush, we need to wash the dishes later!"

"Mom, are we playing the 'Flying Flowers' game again? Can I go back to my room and review first?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yifei immediately became a little anxious.

The game of "flying flower order" to decide who does the dishes only started last week.

Except for weekends, the dishwashing person is decided by a game of "flying flowers" (a traditional Chinese poetic game).

This "Flying Flowers Order" game can use Tang and Song dynasty poems, or even idioms; there's no fixed format.

The test assesses knowledge reserves and reaction speed, but their father, Wang Duoyu, was excluded because he was not only the head of the family, but also because his memory was unmatched.

The first time you play the "Flying Flower Order" game, you need to write a poem with the word "flower" as the main theme, and it only takes two lines.

The contestants were Wang Duoyu, Liu Xiaoli, Wang Junhong, Wang Junan, Wang Junkang, and Wang Yifei. Bai Doufu was too young and was therefore excluded.

For example, flowers wither and fall, filling the sky; their red fades and fragrance dies, who will mourn them?

Both sentences must be said. You can't just say the first sentence and leave the second one unsaid; otherwise, it doesn't count.

Six people from the family participated, and Wang Duoyu dominated the entire event because he used two or three flower-related words every time he spoke, which meant that the others had to memorize a few more lines.

After several days, Wang Duoyu was excluded from the Flying Flower Game.

"Go ahead, but once it starts, cheating won't be allowed."

Liu Xiaoli said with a smile that she had prepared for a long time today and had memorized a lot of poems.

Anyway, she has read that book of three hundred Tang and Song poems countless times.

I never expected that she would be almost forty years old and still have to memorize these poems again, and she did it on her own initiative. She truly lives up to the saying "one is never too old to learn".

The study atmosphere at home instantly improved under the threat of the poetry recitation game and washing dishes.

"Please see the following brief news item. Recently, the Guangzhou Intermediate People's Court sentenced Zhang Ziqiang, a notorious criminal suspect known as the 'King of Thieves of the Century,' to death."

With this text message, the living room fell silent as Wang Junhong and the others all turned to look at the television.

The King of Thieves of the Century!!!
Liu Xiaoli immediately said that the verdict was good and that such a person deserved to die.

Even Wang Junhong and the others nodded in agreement, saying that this kind of person should go to the eighteenth level of hell.

But this person has clearly been sentenced to death, so why are they still being called a criminal suspect? Shouldn't they be called a criminal directly?

Because it's all set in stone, the chain of evidence has solidified that Cheung Tze-keung was the kingpin of the century.

However, after discussing for a while, the family stopped talking because everyone had put down their chopsticks and bowls. Next, they were going to play a game of "flying flowers" to determine who would wash the dishes that night.

"Let's have the character '福' (fortune/blessing) as the theme tonight. We just need two lines of poetry that contain the character '福'. Who wants to go first?"

Since Wang Duoyu was excluded, he became the referee.

Wang Yifei immediately let out a wail, because it seemed she had memorized the poems in the wrong direction; there weren't many poems about the character "福" (fortune/blessing).

"Dad, I'll go first. Every cloud has a silver lining!"

The first to speak was Wang Jun'an, because he was a senior in high school. He not only knew the Three Hundred Tang Poems by heart, but he could also quote many ancient texts, proverbs, and idioms with ease.

However, he also knew how to conceal his abilities, and he would speak in the simplest way possible, because it was a phrase he said often and was the easiest to recall.

Next, according to seating order, Liu Xiaoli, Wang Junkang, Wang Yifei, and Wang Junhong were seated, while Bai Doufu ran over to her father's arms, looking on excitedly.

Liu Xiaoli thought for a while before recalling a line: "If it benefits the country, I will risk my life; how can I avoid it because of personal fortune or misfortune!"

"Mom, you stole my poem!" Wang Junkang gave a wry smile, then racked his brains and came up with a line before his father called the countdown: "Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a misfortune in disguise!"
clap clap!

"Third brother, not bad. Your sentence has two 'Fu' characters. You can be exempted once in the next round."

Wang Duoyu immediately chuckled and said, while Wang Yifei's expression became even more bitter.

Because there are very few poems containing the character "福" (fortune/blessing), the few lines mentioned above are the most commonly used in daily life.

The others are too obscure and not commonly used.

"The heroes of the six kingdoms were all meddlesome, but in the end, Xu Fu was a true man!"

This is a line that Wang Yifei memorized. She memorized 300 Tang and Song poems, and this is one of them. She thought about it for a long time before she remembered it. Her father had already started the countdown.

“Nourishment brings happiness and longevity, as described in Cao Cao’s poem ‘Though the Tortoise Lives Long,’” Wang Junhong said with a smile, appearing very calm on the surface.

He also memorized 300 Tang and Song poems, but that was several years ago.

Later, his father made him read the Twenty-Four Histories, which contained a lot of poetry, though not much of it.

These past few days, there's been this "Flying Flower Order" game going on at home, so he's been flipping through some books, naturally trying to avoid washing the dishes. After all, if he loses, his position as the eldest brother will definitely be in jeopardy, so it's safer to read more.

He has memorized the entire poem "Though the Tortoise Lives Long," and he also remembers many other poems. It shouldn't be difficult for him to handle today's poetry contest.

But to be fair, the question his father posed tonight was indeed a bit tricky.

Moreover, he will probably only be able to last one or two rounds before his mother or Wang Yifei can't hold on any longer.

Sure enough, Wang Yifei surrendered after just the second lap.

Actually, she had no choice but to surrender, because her father was already counting down the days, and each person only had one minute to think.

One minute later, the countdown will begin, and it will only last for twenty seconds.

So it didn't last long, and of course she couldn't hold on.

What's interesting is Liu Xiaoli, who was able to recite three lines of poetry containing the character "福" (fortune/blessing) in their entirety, which shows she put in a lot of hard work.

In the kitchen, Wang Yifei, while washing dishes, complained to her father:

"Dad, the question you gave us today is too difficult. There aren't many poems containing the character '福' (fortune/blessing). The poems that my second brother and the others mentioned are ones we've rarely heard of. Are you deliberately making things difficult for us?"

Haha!

Wang Duoyu laughed loudly:

"Why is it difficult? I've always emphasized reading more books, but you just don't believe me."

"You're still young now. When you grow up, if you continue to be a singer, you might participate in some entertainment activities or appear on TV shows. Then there might be games like the 'Flying Flowers Order' game."

"At the very least, this kind of training will enrich your knowledge base and improve your reaction speed."

That's what she said, but Wang Yifei still had a long face:
"But Dad, you guys are bullying me too much. I'm the worst one in the family."

Haha!

Upon hearing this, the whole family burst into laughter, including Bai Doufu, who was being called out by her father.

"You still have your sister. Once you've improved, you won't be afraid of losing when we play the 'Flying Flowers' game at home anymore."

Liu Xiaoli echoed this sentiment:
"Yes, during the Spring Festival, when the whole family gathers together, we can play the 'Flying Flowers' game."

Makes sense!
Europe, Germany, Audi's headquarters office building.

Today, senior executives from Audi's parent company are here for an inspection, so Mr. Maynschneider, the head of Audi, led a group of Audi executives to wait for them at the entrance of the headquarters office building.

Although Want Want Group doesn't engage in these superficial practices, even though Wang Duoyu has repeatedly emphasized this, the subordinates still show respect to Want Want Group executives, and proper etiquette is always required.

At 9:30 a.m., the convoy slowly drove in from outside. There were more than ten cars in total, all of them Audis, and they were all bulletproof.

Mayneschneider immediately went to one of the cars, and the person who got out was none other than Wang Meili, a senior executive of Want Want Group.

This time, it wasn't just Wang Meili who came; Xue Lisheng, Liang Shengzhi, Yabo Feien, and others also came, making a total of eight management members.

However, Xue Lisheng and his group were just ordinary 'council members' who hid in the crowd and participated in the inspection as ordinary personnel.

Therefore, Audi's management, including Mayneschneider, was unaware of these matters.

After some polite greetings, Wang Meili, at the front and guided by Mainschneider, began her inspection.

The entire inspection lasted for nearly an hour. At 11:00, everyone went to the conference room on the top floor of the office building for a meeting.

"Mr. Schneider, I'd like to ask, isn't the price of raw materials in your contract with the Russian steel mill a bit too high?"

At the start of the meeting, a finance department manager, after receiving instructions from Wang Meili, immediately asked a question.

The moment those words were spoken, the air in the conference room froze.

Audi's car manufacturing naturally requires the purchase of raw materials, namely steel coils, from steel mills.

After these steel coils are transported to the Audi car manufacturing plant, they will be pressed into car frames and other components using stamping machines.

However, the prices of steel raw materials are readily available on the international market.

However, the finance director was asking about the financial reports for the past five years.

So why are we suddenly asking about these aspects of the financial statements?

This inspection was initiated by Wang Duoyu himself.

It was only because it was a surprise inspection, a random check of companies under the Want Want Group, that Audi was selected.

Wang Duoyu not only had the Nuwa AI system conduct an in-depth investigation into all of Audi's data reports, but also...

He also sent Longkui over to Europe to investigate.

The only requirement is to investigate all Audi executives without letting anyone find out.

Under such rigorous scrutiny, there were quite a few minor issues and some major ones. The most serious corruption issue made Wang Duoyu's blood boil when he saw it.

Audi's CEO, Maynecht, is a professional manager who officially took on the role of CEO in the early 1990s.

Over the years, this person has indeed led Audi to several new heights, and in last year's performance, it surpassed BMW and is no longer at the bottom of the pack.

Mainschneider is indeed a capable person.

However, his problem is also very serious: during his eight-year tenure as CEO, he embezzled more than $500 million through various secret contracts and dual contracts.

As a professional manager, his annual salary is two million US dollars, plus a 0.08% bonus, as well as some company benefits.

After calculation, he can receive a salary of approximately three to five million US dollars from Audi each year.

This is already a very high level of treatment.

But in comparison, the five hundred million US dollars he brought back from outside is the most impressive thing.

Furthermore, this money was actually stored in several secret accounts, which were never activated and were very difficult to trace.

But who is Wang Duoyu?

Under the main attack of the Nuwa AI system, coupled with the supercomputing power of Harbin Institute of Technology and many other supercomputers, no account, whether it was a Swiss bank account or the account systems of HSBC, Wells Fargo, etc., could be defended.

Moreover, there's also Longkui Security Company; some tasks that can't be completed online are handed over to Longkui offline.

It was through this powerful collaboration that the massive corrupt official, Mainschneider, was uncovered.

For Wang Duoyu, more than 500 million US dollars is nothing.

However, this is such a large sum of money, even higher than the bonuses of Want Want Group's senior executives, so this matter must be resolved.

Such termites should certainly not be kept for the New Year.

So Wang Duoyu threw all the information he had collected into the group's senior management chat group, and soon today's action came about.

The reason why Wang Meili personally led the team but did not directly take down the other party was because she needed to go through the proper procedures, and also to intimidate Audi.

This is because over 70% of Audi's management team has questionable morals.

If they were all sent to prison, Audi would definitely collapse.

Wang Meili and her team wouldn't do something that would result in heavy losses on both sides, so they had to take it slow.

Inside the top-floor conference room, as the finance director bombarded him with questions one after another, Maynschneider's face alternated between pale and flushed.

After being questioned by Wang Meili, she looked even more ashamed.

After all, Mayneschneider is just a professional manager, but if he does a good job, it is not impossible for him to obtain management shares in Audi.

Given his years of experience, he only needs two more years to receive 0.2% of the shares.

Unfortunately, he had already been eyeing Audi for some time.

Thinking he had done a very discreet job, little did he know that the net of heaven is vast and its meshes are wide, yet nothing escapes it; now he has truly fallen.

In less than a week, Audi's management team changed seven or eight people.

Mayneschneider and the others were all sent to prison, and it is highly likely that they will never have the chance to regain their freedom.

But the impact of this event is only just beginning.

After all, with so many companies under the Want Want Group, who can guarantee their own reputation is completely clean? (End of Chapter)
