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

Inside a top-notch recording studio near Harbin Institute of Technology, Wang Yifei is wearing a headset and diligently recording a song.

She was very absorbed, seemingly in a state of intense concentration, like a sudden epiphany.

Outside the transparent glass window, Wang Duoyu, Liu Xiaoli, and Wang Junhong were all listening.

Today, Wang Yifei invited her family to listen to her record songs because she believes she can sing these songs well.

Previously, her father had given her a playlist of songs from two albums, one of which included "Chinese Language," "Persian Cat," "Encounter," "Brave New World," "The First Dream," "Girl with Wings," and "Serious Snow."

The other album features Chinese-style songs such as "Jiangnan", "Rain on Qingming Festival", "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion", "Blue and White Porcelain", and "East Wind Breaks".

At first, she hesitated and didn't know which album to choose.

Later, she completely reversed the style, with half of the songs on her third album being Chinese-style and the other half continuing the previous style.

Songs about love and romance, like "Serious Snow," were placed on the fourth album.

As Bai Doufu listened to her sister sing, she also started humming along, referring to the lyrics.

It looks quite decent, and it's kind of cute.

A short while later, Wang Yifei came out from inside, blinking her eyes as she looked at her parents and asked them how she sang.
With an expression that screamed "Praise me!", Wang Duoyu couldn't help but smile.

Liu Xiaoli rarely praised her daughter so much, probably because she is pregnant and therefore she is not as strict with her eldest daughter.

Wang Yifei grinned broadly, her big eyes narrowing into slits:

"Dad, does that mean I'll release my third album during winter break?"

She received a glare from her father, who said irritably, "If you don't mind working yourself hard, that's fine. It's the New Year, and you still have to make yourself so tired. If only you were this diligent and serious when you were studying."

"Big Fish Bro~ I study very hard, okay? You always like to slander me, I'm going to sue you for defamation, hmph!"

Does it need further explanation whether it's slander or not?

Wang Yifei's song recording needs to be completed before December 15th, because she needs to devote herself to studying for her final exams in the following period.

The exams for the third year of junior high school are not easy. She will be taking the high school entrance exam next summer, so her grades absolutely cannot be wrong.

If you don’t have enough talent, you have to work hard to make it happen.

If she had her older brother's talent, she wouldn't need to go through so much trouble.

Time passed slowly, and it was already late December. Wang Yifei had devoted herself to her studies, just like her third brother, and had been working hard to review.

Overseas, the proliferation of counterfeit US dollars is accelerating.

Federal Reserve shareholders held a meeting, but it ended in discord.

They then joined forces again and held several more large meetings.

The major shareholders hold a meeting first to consider their respective interests and opinions, and then invite the minority shareholders to join the meeting.

Only after reaching a consensus did the Federal Reserve shareholders begin issuing orders to their subordinate agencies, and a 'massacre' of internal purges began.

Counterfeit money rings have become a major scourge within the United States and must be eradicated.

President Clinton also coordinated with the Federal Reserve's actions, with the CIA acting as its primary henchman to execute them swiftly.

However, many members of Congress raised objections.

Several powerful states, such as Texas and California, have begun to advocate for independence, openly and strongly opposing the policies and orders of the federal government.

They even skipped the step of outwardly complying while inwardly resisting.

The situation in the United States became even more chaotic.

In such a chaotic time, the spread of counterfeit money far exceeded the expectations of Want Want Group executives.

It's only December 24th, the eve of Christmas Eve, and the Super Dollar Factory has already successfully released 180 billion US dollars.

This demonstrates just how chaotic things have become within the United States in just over half a month.

When Wang Duoyu received the news, he was also stunned.

The interest groups within the United States are indeed complex and intertwined, with each group having completely different interests and demands.

In the past, emerging capitalist conglomerates, led by Jews, would collude with two major conglomerates in California and Texas to form a military-industrial complex, creating chaos around the world and profiting from it.

The Jews wanted to restore their nation, so they went to Jerusalem to cause trouble and established Israel in the Middle East.

Then the war in the entire Middle East never stopped.

At that time, old financial tycoons like Rockefeller, Morgan, and Mellon turned a blind eye because they were also involved in the military-industrial complex and made a lot of money.

At the same time, they will also leverage the powerful capital of Wall Street and use financial means to make money all over the world.

But things are clearly different now, because the old financial tycoons like the Rockefeller family want to dismantle the California financial group.

This could have been done in secret, but the problem is, before anything even happened, the California consortium had already launched a counterattack.

Furthermore, it united with Texas financial groups and Jewish communities.

Well, actually, it was Want Want Group that was behind this. They used tactics like diverting trouble, muddying the waters, and relieving the siege of Wei to rescue Zhao, which Martinez and his ilk mastered.

With so many events occurring one after another, neither Rockefeller and his Eastern financial magnates nor the Western financial groups like the California conglomerate had time to analyze the situation carefully before they rushed into the battle.

Furthermore, the desire of financial giants like Rockefeller, who are behind the Federal Reserve, to dismantle the California financial group has been a long-standing one.

Now that the Federal Reserve has pinned the blame for the counterfeit money ring on California-based financial groups, the intentions of Rockefeller and other Eastern financial groups are self-evident.

Therefore, the California consortium naturally had to fight back.

That's how chaos is formed.

After things got chaotic, Martinez and his group continued to cause trouble, adding fuel to the fire from time to time, while also speeding up the shipment of counterfeit money.

After all, such a good opportunity is rare.

Christmas Eve was anything but peaceful in America.

On New York's busiest streets, gangs commit arson, murder, robbery, and all sorts of atrocities.

The same is true in Los Angeles.

Strangely, the area near the movie theater became the safest place.

I don't know if it's because there's a lot of foot traffic near the movie theater that those bastards don't dare to come over and cause trouble.

In Harbin, on the campus of Harbin Institute of Technology, Wang Duoyu hung up the phone, a smile spreading across his face, and couldn't help but hum a few lines.

The situation in the United States was indeed beyond his expectations.

The fact that the team was able to perform so well in a favorable situation is largely due to the contributions of Martinez, Zheng Baoyin, and their group.

Therefore, Wang Duoyu plans to give them a big red envelope after the year-end summary meeting next month, so that everyone can be happy.

Although money becomes just a number once it reaches a certain point, no one dislikes money.

How much money did Heshen embezzle back then?

According to official records of the Qing government's confiscation of property, it was explicitly mentioned that the valued portion was 2.64 million taels of silver, while the unvalued portion totaled approximately 11 billion taels.

He owned 75 pawnshops and more than 300 banks, and monopolized Sino-British trade through the Thirteen Factories of Canton. Some studies suggest that his commercial profits even exceeded his embezzled gains.

In addition to silver, the confiscated property included 3000 houses, 8000 hectares of farmland, a large quantity of jade and jewelry, and Western artifacts. The inventory list showed that there were 56600 silver ingots alone.

Absolutely terrifying!
Wang Duoyu believed that Martinez and his ilk definitely liked money.

"Yes, the space travel program can be accelerated."

With more money available, various research projects can certainly be steadily advanced and accelerated.

In a great mood, he returned to the villa next door. It was already after school, but he didn't see Wang Yifei and Wang Junkang. Instead, Bai Doufu was playing games with her second brother.

"Dad~"

"My sweet daughter, let Daddy give you a hug. What games do you want to play with your second brother?"

Bai Doufu hugged her father, chattering away sweetly and gesturing with her hands, looking very happy.

"Dad~, you seem to be in a great mood today. Is there anything good to share?" Wang Jun'an chimed in with a grin. "Hehe, it's about work," Wang Duoyu replied, glossing over the matter without going into details.

Liu Xiaoli came out of the bedroom at this time. She had just woken up and was in pretty good condition.

Upon seeing her, Wang Duoyu mentioned that he would be leaving for a few days.

He didn't go out much this year because Liu Xiaoli's menopausal symptoms worsened from the beginning of the year until she confirmed her pregnancy in October, after which her mood gradually stabilized.

During this time, Wang Duoyu did not leave her for very long in order to stay with her.

"Oh, then go ahead and do your own thing," Liu Xiaoli said understandingly.

"Ok!"

As soon as Wang Duoyu nodded, Bai Doufu asked curiously, "Dad, where are you going?"

"Dad has to go on a business trip."

"Then Dad, you have to try your best!"

The little guy's mannerisms are clearly something he learned from someone.

For the next few days, Wang Duoyu didn't go anywhere. After New Year's Day, on January 2nd, he took a plane and left Harbin.

His private jet landed at Ali Airport on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which is a branch campus of Harbin Institute of Technology and the most important laboratory outside of the main campus.

After arriving in the ALD district, Wang Duoyu did not leave immediately. Instead, he stayed there for three days, handled some work, and then announced his seclusion.

Huang Deming was assigned to stay in the secluded villa to help Wang Duoyu attract attention.

Wang Duoyu himself secretly took a plane to Hideb on the Somali Peninsula.

"Professor, you've finally arrived!"

Martinez, Yabo Fein, Lee Evra, O'Brien, and others were already waiting at the airport. They were all very excited to see Wang Duoyu emerge from the plane.

A lot happened in 1999, from the launch of the Euro at the beginning of the year, to the Kosovo War in March, the Mitich Farm incident in the second half of the year, and the recent large-scale crackdown.

Wang Duoyu managed so many things remotely, or had Zheng Baoyin and the others come to Bingcheng for meetings.

Even the Somali Peninsula, which is the most important overseas location for the Want Want Group, has rarely been visited by Wang Duoyu.

After all, in the past two years, Wang Duoyu used to come at least several times a year.

"Yes, everyone has worked hard."

Wang Duoyu smiled and nodded, greeted everyone, then got into the car and headed straight for the reception area.

Xidebu is one of the headquarters of their Want Want Group. When Wang Duoyu comes here, it's like coming home.

Now that we're home, we can relax a bit.

"Uncle Jiu, why don't you take a rest and adjust to the time difference?" Wang Jianchao suggested.

"Well, I will."

That evening, Wang Duoyu had dinner with Martinez and other executives. It wasn't a Western-style buffet, but a Chinese-style gathering.

The Cantonese and Huaiyang cuisine chefs showcased their talents, serving up many excellent dishes.

With its deep pockets, Want Want Group naturally recruited many world-renowned chefs to help out in Hideb, its largest overseas headquarters.

After a sumptuous dinner, everyone was very happy.

The next day, Wang Duoyu did not immediately convene the year-end summary meeting. Instead, he went to the underground laboratory to talk to the research experts about the project's progress.

Previously, Wang Duoyu had been checking on the progress of projects like Little Sun remotely via video chat, without ever coming to check in person.

There are many important experimental projects in Hideb, and the Little Sun project is just one of the more important ones.

"Our manned spaceflight has been a success, so let's begin the lunar landing program next."

Wang Duoyu doesn't plan to build the International Space Station; instead, he will send the spacecraft directly to the moon.

Firstly, the International Space Station is too eye-catching. Once the Somali Peninsula is able to launch and build a space station, it will definitely be watched by the whole world.

Secondly, Want Want Group has accumulated a considerable amount of technology. With no expense spared in its testing, the next step is to send a manned test spacecraft to the moon to prepare for a real manned spacecraft.

Whether it's the Little Sun project or quantum computing, these projects are all preparations for the upcoming lunar landing program.

Next up is the space tourism project.

"Yes, Professor, we have already arranged for a spacecraft to go to the lunar surface, and we should be able to bring back lunar soil this month."

"Currently, our small sun project and many other scientific research experiments have a great need for new materials. We have tried many different combinations of materials on Earth, but ultimately we still haven't been able to make the small sun run stably for more than two hours."

"We all agree that the moon might contain new elements, or even new materials, that we need."

After listening, Wang Duoyu nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, just to be on the safe side, you still need to take precautions. Scientific experiments are important, but they are not as important as your lives."

"We need to balance work and rest; I don't want to hear any negative news."

After the day ended, Wang Duoyu felt much more relaxed.

He was inspecting the underground laboratory in Hideb to check on the project's progress; for him, that was work, so he should have been quite tired.

But in reality, he felt incredibly energetic and didn't feel it at all.

The next day arrived in the blink of an eye, and the year-end summary meeting officially began.

The event was held in a conference room in the very heart of Hideb.

Today, Hidab is a small oasis town, with many desert and marine plants planted nearby, such as palm trees, date palms, coconut palms, and many evergreen trees.

There are even lots of lawns, and um, there's a golf course nearby.

Inside the luxuriously decorated yet exotically styled conference room, Wang Duoyu sat in the main seat, listening to Zheng Baoyin, the host of this year's conference, begin.

On the wall behind Wang Duoyu, there is a majestic deer head. The branches on the antlers are very tall, and it is obvious that this deer must have been a very powerful leader of a herd in its lifetime.

In addition, each of Wang Duoyu's seats was made of different animal hides. For example, Wang Duoyu's seat was made of the hide of a Siberian tiger king, and behind the seat was a huge tiger head, which looked very unusual.

These strange decorations were undoubtedly the work of Wang Jianchao.

After all, this guy really loves these things.

A day passed in the blink of an eye, and half of the year-end summary for 1999 had already gone by.

As Want Want Group's subsidiaries grow larger and its business expands, the internal strife between its factions also intensifies.

However, this was all just an act. From an outsider's perspective, they were mortal enemies, but within the Want Want Group, it was just a performance.

As long as it doesn't threaten Want Want Group's profits, it doesn't matter if the people below fight to the death.

Reasonable and healthy competition is inevitable; the so-called "killing the enemy" simply means acquiring the other company.

For Want Want Group, this is just a matter of transferring assets from one hand to the other; there's no difference.

Among the many companies that have developed, Wang Duoyu was most surprised by the Red Star Group.

More than a decade ago, Red Star Group was just a steel mill; now it is a multinational steel giant with assets worth tens of billions of dollars.

In 1999, Hongxing Group achieved 1,000 technological innovations, most of which were applied in real-world fields, such as crude oil storage and new energy vehicles.

A small portion is used in high-end fields, such as the keel frame of aircraft in aerospace and the application of steel materials in the Little Sun project.

It can be said that the supporting role of the Red Star Group is enormous.

At the meeting, Wang Duoyu highly praised Wen Shixuan, because the leading role of the "locomotive" is very important for a company to develop well.

In addition, companies such as Daimler-Benz, Comcast, Paramount, and Canon have also performed quite well.

However, what Wang Duoyu valued was not their company's profitability, but their scientific research capabilities.

For example, Daimler-Benz is at the forefront of the world in engine development and new energy vehicle development.

Canon, for example, has developed technologies such as miniature cameras and underwater cameras that are already quite mature.

Such a vigorous and prosperous development momentum is truly gratifying. (End of Chapter)
