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

Chapter 223, Coronation (Last day of this month, please give me a monthly ticket)
February 12, 1983, the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, today is New Year's Eve.

In Dahonggou Village, Qingshan Township, Shuanghe County, at the wooden house of Wang Duoyu's family at the end of the village, the little guy Wang Junhong is playing a very childish hide-and-seek game with the children of Lao Wang's relatives.

There were two puppies in the house. They were the puppies born from the wolfhound that Wang Duoyu had raised before.

Since Wang Duoyu didn't come back to Dahonggou Village very often, he gave the wolf-blue dog Zidan, which he had previously raised, to his eighth sister and others to help raise.

After the Spring Festival, Wang Duoyu will take the two puppies back to Harbin Institute of Technology so that the little ones will have a playmate.

"It's delicious!"

At this time, a strong fragrance came from the kitchen. Wang Junhong and the other little kids immediately stopped playing games and ran to the kitchen.

The must-have items of the Spring Festival every year: cat ears, fried smileys, fried fruits, etc. These are the must-have snacks for every household during the New Year, and are also the must-give gifts when visiting relatives and friends.

Ten years ago, only families with formal jobs in the city could afford to give small snacks like cat ears.

You basically don’t see these things in ordinary families or in rural areas.

Wang Duoyu knew very well why this happened, because they were really poor.

Of course, this poverty has a lot to do with the background of the times.

Previously, Wang Duoyu mentioned the Three Gorges Hydropower Station project. What was the result?
Don't let it go!

On February 9th, Wang Duoyu was invited to a dinner party in the cafeteria, where he met Fang Lihe.

In addition to praising Harbin Institute of Technology for its excellent performance in 1982, the latter also brought up the latest progress of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station project, which still needs further discussion.

Many people oppose it, and there are many reasons, such as it is a waste of time and money, and it also involves the relocation and resettlement of millions of people.

On the other hand, even if a huge sum of money is spent to build the Three Gorges Dam, what if the nation's electricity needs have already been met by thermal power plants? Wouldn't that be a waste?
And the most important point is that this has made you a target of attack.

So, all in all, it would be better to use the money to develop the economy instead of building the Three Gorges Dam.

It is obviously a very far-sighted move that will benefit the present and future generations, but in the eyes of these people, they can find so many reasons to oppose it.

Are these people short-sighted?
Not all of them are short-sighted, and their concerns are not unreasonable.

Just like back then.

There is a very famous author of martial arts novels in Hong Kong Island.

In the 1960s, there was an article in the newspaper saying "We want pants, not nuclear weapons."

Is that short-sighted?
Not entirely, because at that time, many people actually had the same idea as the author.

Especially ordinary people, everyone is starving, who has the time to think about things so far in the past?
Those who oppose the construction of the Three Gorges Dam today actually have the same idea as the author back then.

Everyone is very poor now, and they only think about the things in front of them, and don’t think too much about the future.

What can Wang Duoyu do?
Let them oppose it, I believe they won’t be able to stop it for long.

In the past, we tightened our belts and vigorously produced canned fruit, canned pork, etc., and then sold them internationally.

All the foreign exchange earned was used to purchase advanced equipment, such as centrifuges for extracting highly enriched uranium, high-pressure proton electrostatic accelerators, ion sources, electron-volt-electron linear accelerators, etc.

These devices are not purchased as a complete set. You can only buy some parts or some equipment to produce the parts.

After piecing things together, we finally managed to put together a device that could extract uranium 235, but that was not the end of it.

As we all know, making an atomic bomb usually requires fifteen to twenty-five kilograms of uranium 235. However, extracting 1 kilogram of uranium 235 requires at least two hundred tons of uranium ore, and also consumes a large amount of electricity.

Why is it that as soon as someone makes a nuclear bomb, the United States can monitor it immediately?
One of the reasons is that refining uranium 235 is technically difficult, consumes a lot of resources, and there is nowhere to hide it.

It is easy for a big country, but if it is a small country, it will be easily discovered if it suddenly needs to generate a large amount of electricity to provide sufficient electricity for the extraction of uranium 235.

So, we faced great difficulties back then, but now it is naturally much easier to invest in the construction of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station than it was back then.

Naturally, those who oppose the construction of the Three Gorges Dam will not be able to oppose it for long.

The momentum is unstoppable!
In the past years, it was extremely difficult for us to eat cat ears and other New Year snacks.

But in seven or eight years, more and more people will be able to eat snacks like cat ears.

"Hot, hot, hot~"

"You knew it was hot, but you still ate it secretly?"

Such a conversation coming from the kitchen made Wang Duoyu, who was reading a book, smile.

That's what little brats are like, just like starving ghosts reincarnated.

The next moment, he couldn't laugh anymore because he heard Wang Junhong crying, and crying very loudly.

At this moment, there was chaos in the kitchen.

It was obvious that something had happened to the little guy.

When Wang Duoyu got up and came over, Liu Xiaoli had already come out holding the little guy.

"He also stole the oil fruit and got burned."

After hearing what Liu Xiaoli said, Wang Duoyu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He couldn't blame anyone else, it was all the little guy's fault for stealing the food.

Of course, it is also true that Liu Xiaoli and the others did not keep an eye on these little brats.

But these are things that children must experience as they grow up. I guess after being scalded this time, the little guy will definitely remember it for a long time.

In the afternoon, the New Year’s Eve dinner began.

On the wall of the wooden house, a TV was playing a TV program, but it was not the Spring Festival Gala, but the news.

Because the Spring Festival Gala starts at 8 o'clock in the evening, and it is only 6 o'clock now, so of course it is not time for the Spring Festival Gala yet.

During the holidays, everyone is relatively relaxed, so the New Year’s Eve dinner is usually served relatively early.

Anyway, Wang Duoyu always eats New Year’s Eve dinner around six o’clock every year.

The little fellow's tongue was not burned, and a few hours later, he had already eaten the oil fruit. Now it was time for the New Year's Eve dinner, and he could not eat any more.

Liu Xiaoli didn't want him to eat so many fruits, but she had to help in the kitchen, and Wang Duoyu couldn't keep an eye on the little guy, so when he wasn't watching, he stole a lot of it.

It’s really about eating and not fighting.

After eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, Wang Duoyu held the little one in his arms and sat in front of the TV, waiting for the Spring Festival Gala.

To be honest, he doesn't like watching the Spring Festival Gala either.

In his previous life, he had only watched the Spring Festival Gala before 2008, and he had never watched it again after 2009.

For the Spring Festival Galas that followed, I watched them selectively. When I was bored after the festival, I would occasionally watch clips of the videos, only watching the funny ones and ignoring the others.

There's nothing you can do about it in this era, and this is the first Spring Festival Gala, so it's still worth watching.

It’s almost eight o’clock, before the Spring Festival Gala starts, there is a small advertisement, Babos tells you the time!

When Wang Duoyu saw this advertisement, he knew it was a success.

The news just announced the time, and it is still announcing the time at eight o'clock now. When it reaches midnight, it will definitely announce the time again.

It can be said that the Brabus Watch Factory has made a fortune this time.

Wang Duoyu can basically see that after the Spring Festival, many people will think about buying BABOS watches.

"Hey, isn't this the factory of your Want Want Group? This..."

When Liu Xiaoli saw this advertisement, she couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise.

Wang Shuting, Zheng Baodong, Xue Yuqing and others who were sitting in the room watching TV also exclaimed in surprise.

After all, they all knew the BABOS watch factory and the UMA clothing.

I didn't expect it to actually be on TV.

While Wang Duoyu was happily chatting with Liu Xiaoli and the others, in the capital, at the somewhat deserted old Zhu family, Zhu Qi went back to his room to read after finishing his New Year's Eve dinner.

Only Fang Zhen was still watching TV in the living room.

Their child Zhu Ling did not return to Beijing. I called her in the afternoon and she was still at Harbin Institute of Technology.

She had clearly divorced Wang Duoyu, but now she had gone to Bingcheng and stayed there for more than half a month.

On the 9th, the day before Wang Duoyu was about to return to Dahonggou Village, Zhu Ling came to him and proposed to go back to the village with him, but he rejected her without hesitation.

Wang Duoyu didn't want to know what she was thinking or how contradictory she was.

Remarry?

Come on, he's impossible.

Fang Zhen couldn't guess what her daughter was thinking, so she didn't know how to persuade her daughter.

Alas, if I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?

Now families are not families and people are not human.

"Babos?"

Seeing the advertisement of "Babos tells the time for you" appearing one after another, Fang Zhen couldn't help but mutter to herself in surprise.

If she remembered correctly, Babos seemed to be the factory invested by her former son-in-law Wang Duoyu?
They're on TV?
Seeing this, she thought of her silly daughter again, and her eyes lost focus. Finally, she came to her senses, but it turned into a long sigh:
Ugh!
Creation tricks people!

On the other hand, Yuan Xueyi returned to her home in Beijing and watched the Spring Festival Gala with her parents after having dinner.

In Beijing, relatively more families have televisions.

Also, because CCTV is in Beijing, it was easier for them to know that there would be a Spring Festival Gala this year, so they all turned on their TVs to watch it.

"Hey, isn't this the company owned by Professor Wang? I didn't expect it to be on TV."

Hearing her daughter's words, Yuan Xueyi's mother Zheng Yongwan couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Xiaoxue, are you talking about Babos?"

"Yes, the Brabus Watch Factory is Professor Wang's company."

"Isn't Professor Wang a mathematics professor? Why did he set up a company? Isn't he afraid of being reported?"

Zheng Yongwan's pupils instantly dilated countless times, and her expression was full of disbelief.

Yuan Xueyi said with a smile:
"Mom, you don't know this. Although Professor Wang is a mathematics professor, he is not bad at making money. So many companies under Harbin Institute of Technology were established under his advocacy."

"Last year, Harbin Institute of Technology's exports earned a whopping $7.3 billion in foreign exchange. My cousin told me that according to the Customs Statistics Bureau, China's total exports were only 76.3 billion RMB, and Harbin Institute of Technology's affiliated companies accounted for 30% of that."

"The Babos Watch Factory and the Youma Garment Factory were just benefits provided by Professor Wang to his family back home, but I heard they've already gone overseas to earn foreign exchange. Anyway, Professor Wang is a man who can create miracles."

Seeing that she admired Wang Duoyu so much, Zheng Yongwan felt a little regretful.

Because her daughter had been at Harbin Institute of Technology for almost a year, she had only seen Wang Duoyu a few times.

Even so, she still wants to date him?

Don't even think about it!
It's just something she wants to do, and Wang Duoyu is not married yet, so she does still have a chance.

As for Liu Xiaoli who was already living in Wang Duoyu's house, Zheng Yongwan had nothing much to say except sighing that she was lucky.

Liu Xiaoli's family lives in Bingcheng, which is pretty good, but it can't be compared with Yuan Xueyi's family.

Moreover, according to the information Fang Lihe had inquired about, Wang Duoyu had not yet officially visited Liu Xiaoli's parents.

So it is not false to say that Yuan Xueyi still has a chance.

While Yuan Xueyi was talking about Wang Duoyu, Lu Ruoxi on the other side was also talking about Wang Duoyu with her family.

The Brabus Watch Factory is very unfamiliar to many people, but of course everyone in the Lu family knows it.

Lu Yangui was surprised at Wang Duoyu's brilliant idea. He actually thought of advertising on TV. This was much better than advertising on the train before, but he didn't know how effective it would be.

However, it is still quite surprising that Youma Clothing has already gone overseas and has heard that it has earned a lot of foreign exchange.

"By the way, you haven't seen him recently?"

Hearing Grandpa's words, Lu Ruoxi quickly shook her head, her expression helpless:
"Grandpa, am I really useless? I hardly ever see him, and I don't know what to do."

"How about this, after the Spring Festival, I'll go to Ice City and talk to him again."

It is difficult to find a rich son-in-law, especially one like Wang Duoyu, of which there is only one.

Even though Wang Duoyu has been divorced twice, so what?
But at this time, Lu Yangui's wife Ren Xiaoling suddenly said:
"Old Lu, why don't we just forget it?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can you just let it go like this? You never give up halfway through a task."

Lu Yangui immediately scolded:

"You don't know what kind of person Wang Duoyu is, but I've met him many times, and no one knows him better than me."

"It's settled now. Whether it will succeed or not will depend on after the holiday."

At this time, the Spring Festival Gala was still going on TV. Ordinary families were crowded with people, and everyone was very happy to watch it.

On the evening of the 12th, during the first Spring Festival Gala, many people saw the Babos clock advertisement and the performance costumes sponsored by Uma Clothing.

People across the country who watched the Spring Festival Gala were very surprised. It was the first time that advertisements were directly included in the Spring Festival Gala. This was indeed very bold and innovative.

The Spring Festival passed quickly. The first and second days were spent visiting relatives and friends. There was no such thing as going back to one's parents' home on the second day. In short, we quickly visited relatives and then had to hurry up to go to work and earn money.

Of course, the situation in rural areas is relatively better because they have now been allocated land and can cultivate it on their own.

So when it comes to visiting relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year, they can follow tradition and take their time.

Wang Duoyu returned to Harbin Institute of Technology on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. After returning, he spent all his time eating.

Liu Deben, Lu Gongliang, Han Jue and others were all very enthusiastic and gave a lot of red envelopes to the little guy Wang Junhong.

In addition to the school leaders, people like Shing-Tung Yau and John Milnor all followed the local customs and joined in the fun by distributing red envelopes to the little ones.

Anyway, after Wang Duoyu returned to his villa at Harbin Institute of Technology, he never went out, because there were always guests visiting him. He had lunch, afternoon tea, and then dinner.

As for cooking, we can only ask two chefs from the cafeteria to help.

During the Spring Festival holiday, there were still a lot of people on the campus of Harbin Institute of Technology, so the cafeteria was not closed.

But happy times are short-lived after all, and Wang Duoyu’s vacation balance will soon be used up.

Back in the United States, Van Lawrence of Princeton University has received the latest issue of the Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematical Journal.

This journal published another paper by Wang Duoyu, which was also related to the geometric Langlands conjecture.

Influenced by Wang Duoyu, the Langlands Program has always been a hot topic in the global mathematics community. Last year, Wang Duoyu invited John Milnor, Robert Langlands and others to join the Ice City Institute for Advanced Study to jointly promote the development of the grand unified theory of mathematics.

So the global mathematics community became concerned about this matter.

However, nearly a year has passed, and this small team has not produced any impressive results.

Not only did Shing-Tung Yau and others come up with other number theory papers, but even Wang Duoyu also worked on related proofs such as the honeycomb conjecture and the restricted Burnside conjecture.

This led to everyone thinking that the Langlands Program project had been stopped.

I didn't expect that at this point in the beginning of 1983, there would actually be some movement.

This is a good thing.

"Construction of functors? Equivalence?"

Vann Lawrence just looked at the subtitle of the paper and couldn't help but look confused.

But the more he looked, the deeper he became.

With the publication of the latest issue of "HIT Mathematical Journal", the small town of Princeton has become much more lively.

From Berkeley to MIT, to Harvard University, and finally to Princeton University, all of North America was discussing Wang Duoyu's paper on the proof of the geometric Langlands conjecture.

In the past, the geometric Langlands conjecture was just a conjecture, and whether it was true was still a matter of debate.

But now that Wang Duoyu's paper has come out, it is completely possible to prove that the geometric Langlands conjecture is true.

After reading the paper, Andre Weil sighed and said that if the International Congress of Mathematicians was not about to be held, he would definitely rush to Ice City immediately.

Even though he was very old, he was still very eager to see the latest developments in mathematics, especially the grand unified theories of mathematics. It was Robert Langlands who wrote to him and mentioned the Langlands conjecture, which eventually formed the Langlands Program.

A few years ago, Wang Duoyu proved the Fermat conjecture, which thoroughly promoted the development of the Langlands program and further supported this grand unified theory.

"It's a pity that he's not in the United States, otherwise I would have been communicating with him face to face right now."

There are many people who share the same idea as André Weil, such as Edward Witten.

Edward Witten is a native American and is currently a professor of physics at Princeton University. Although he is a professor of physics, he is also very strong in mathematics.

However, his development has now reached a bottleneck.

Although his research progress in physics was good, his research in mathematics was greatly limited.

Studying physics requires strong mathematical calculation and deduction capabilities, otherwise it is easy to be restricted.

Of course, what Princeton University lacks the least is top mathematicians.

But now John Milnor, David Bryant Mumford, Charles Fefman and others have gone to China. Although there are still many mathematicians left in Princeton, none of them are young and middle-aged, and their research directions are almost the same as his.

Originally, he should have communicated with people like Shing-Tung Yau, because he has recently been studying the positive energy theorem of general relativity, topological quantum, supersymmetry, mirror symmetry, supersymmetric gauge field and other related theories, and people like Shing-Tung Yau have done in-depth research in this area.

But now these people are all in Ice City.

On the other hand, Wang Duoyu does have extraordinary ability in teaching students.

Take a closer look at Yang Nianzhen and the other seven students. Although they were all geniuses in the past, it was actually difficult for them to make great progress in mathematics. But now, all seven of them have published several papers.

Some might wonder if Maxim had already published three papers in top journals before becoming Wang Duoyu's student. Doesn't that prove that Wang Duoyu only recruits students with top mathematical talent?
but!

You should know that the reason why Maxim was able to write these three papers was that he had taken Wang Duoyu's courses for three or four months before, and after that he often participated in mathematics exchanges and was able to see Wang Duoyu often.

This already shows that Wang Duoyu is indeed very talented in teaching students.

Edward Witten was very tempted based on these considerations, but he did not act rashly.

It now seems that if he doesn't take action, he will be another year older.

Moreover, this summer, Wang Duoyu may be officially crowned at the International Congress of Mathematicians.

No matter how much the outside world brags about him, Wang Duoyu has never won the Fields Medal. Even though he may not really need the Fields Medal to prove himself, this medal is ultimately the Nobel Prize in mathematics.

If he could come to Harbin Institute of Technology before Wang Duoyu was officially crowned, perhaps he would have more opportunities to come into contact with Wang Duoyu.

Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be no chance.

"Then I'll go over there!"

Thinking of this, Edward Witten did not hesitate any longer and took action immediately.

"Maybe I can make further progress in mathematics and even win the Fields Medal?"

Just imagining that he, as a physics professor, had won the Fields Medal, the highest honor in mathematics, made Edward Witten excited.

But this was just wishful thinking. He should deal with the leaders of Princeton University first.

Because he offered to resign, Princeton University leaders came to him one after another to persuade him.

why?
Because in the past half month, more than seventy people have applied to resign, drop out, or become exchange students.

The school leaders were not people with intellectual problems, and they quickly found out the reason, because these people were all aiming to go to China's Ice City.

"I don't know what's so good about China. If you want to find a math professor who's compatible with you, don't we have plenty of them at Princeton University? You don't have to go to the Ice City."

In the office of the president of Princeton University, Edward Witten listened to the president's incessant mumbling, his expression gradually becoming impatient.

What happened to the promise of coming and going freely?

Why do this?

He was called to the office and subjected to a series of "ideological education bombardments".

Edward Witten, John Milnor and others had communicated with each other through correspondence, but they had never talked to him about going to Ice City.

Charles Fefferman and his companions were simply sharing what they had seen and heard in the Ice City.

In order to test Wang Duoyu, Charles Fefferman even submitted a letter of resignation. However, Wang Duoyu only chatted with him for a few words and then did not agree to Charles' resignation.

It was very neat and clean, without any tricks at all.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.

Princeton University, a world-renowned top university, actually resorted to some shady tactics. Can't afford to lose?
Edward Witten didn't know whether Princeton University could afford to lose. For him, his own future was the most important thing.

Now that China's Ice City has what he wants, he should go there, but he continues to stay in Princeton.

You know, he is already 32 years old this year.

If he wants to win the Fields Medal, then he only has the chance to do so in the 1986 and 1990 classes.

As for the Nobel Prize in Physics?

To be honest, Edward Witten had some self-awareness, so he didn't dare to think about these distant things. He decided to take care of the things in front of him first.

A week later, Edward Witten finally got permission. He also received a reply from the Harbin Institute of Technology's office in the United States that his application to join the Harbin Institute of Technology's Department of Physics had been approved.

In any case, he is a professor of physics at Princeton University, so there is no problem at all for him to go to the Department of Physics at Harbin Institute of Technology.

Even Shang Zhongmin and others went to Princeton University in person to discuss the matter in detail with Edward Witten.

Because Shang Zhongmin and the others were afraid of making a mistake, it is hard to say whether excessive joy will lead to sorrow.

After the deal was quickly finalized, Edward Witten packed his luggage. Instead of asking Harbin Institute of Technology to help him buy the plane ticket, he planned to buy the ticket himself and go to Ice City with Charles Fefferman.

"No, we haven't seen each other for just a few months, and you've gained so much weight? Did you treat yourself like a pig when you went to China?"

When he saw Charles Fefferman again, Edward Witten's eyes widened and he could hardly believe his eyes.

Charles rolled his eyes and said:
"You'd better remember what you said. When you arrive in China, you will know whether what I said is true or not."

Edward Witten curled his lips, still commenting on his good friend's figure.

"How much weight have you gained? Thirty pounds?"

"Fuck, how could it be thirty kilograms?" Charles Fefferman couldn't help but yelled angrily when he heard this.

"Don't talk like that anymore, or I won't take you to Harbin Institute of Technology."

"I only gained 27 pounds, so I only weigh 173 pounds in total. How can I be called fat?"

That's true. Charles Fefferman is 1.82 meters tall, which is not short. He weighs 173 kilograms, which is actually not bad, right?
But this was just self-consolation, because he only weighed more than 140 pounds before and looked very thin, but now he is a little fat.

The two of them started talking about body shape, with Edward Witten asking the questions and Charles Fefferman answering them.

Two days later, the two of them left the United States and headed straight for China's Ice City.

Just as Edward Witten was heading to the Ice City, people from many universities also packed their bags and set off for China.

Motorola headquarters in Schaumburg, Illinois, USA.

In the conference room, a group of executives looked ashen and were all silent.

The latest survey data from Nielsen Business Research Company has come out, and the mobile phone market in February was extremely competitive.

In the first ten days of February, less than half a month, Motorola was almost the home turf. Because of the pre-sale activities, Motorola's total pre-sale number in more than ten days was more than 32,800 units.

However, after February 11, Huaxin's counterattack was "late".

They launched two powerful weapons: free cordless phones when you top up your phone bill and installment payment.

For consumers, this is a huge attraction.

By paying only a few dozen yuan a month, you can get a cordless phone for free, as well as 1982 yuan in phone bills.

Doesn't this mean you can just chat on the phone casually?
Because the 1982 yuan phone bill is equivalent to giving it away for free, or in other words, the cordless phone is equivalent to giving it away for free.

No matter what is given away for free, consumers will get real enjoyment.

So no one could sit still, and almost all consumers who heard the news rushed to order cordless phones.

The second half of February was Huaxin's home turf, and Motorola became a supporting role.

After February 11, Motorola's pre-sale volume dropped sharply. By the end of February 28, a full 17 days, Motorola's sales were only 3,000 units.

You know, from February 1st to 11th, that was more than 30,000 units.

How is it possible that there is a tenfold gap?

But that's what it is.

In contrast, before February 11, Huaxin Company's sales in February were only more than 2,800 units, but after the 11th, in just 17 days, it achieved sales of 280,000 units.

Revenue is down, but sales have skyrocketed, so profits have naturally gone up as well.

According to the contract between Huaxin and the American telecommunications operator, Huaxin can get US$799 for each cordless phone sold.

The price is already very low, but the profit is already very high.

Now, in just over half a month, 280,000 units have been sold, which is really a huge profit.

The original price of each cordless phone was US$1982, but now it is US$799. Based on the sales volume of 2.23 units, the revenue in days is US$ million.

Of course I made a lot of money.

Of course, the American telecom operators also won. After all, after deducting 1982 from 799 US dollars, the total amount is 1183 US dollars, which they took directly.

In just over half a month, the company achieved a revenue of 3.3 million U.S. dollars. This is the first time that the operator company has achieved such a high revenue since its establishment.

Because of this, Motorola executives were certainly not in a good mood after seeing such data.

"To fight back, we also need to cooperate with banks to increase the option of installment payment, otherwise we will have no chance of winning."

"Idiot! Our phones haven't even been released yet. How can we get installment payments? We're only selling pre-sales now. We want to recoup our R&D costs. Do you understand?"

"Then what should we do now?"

Inside the Motorola conference room, executives argued with each other, but none of them could come up with a good solution.

The first thing that is certain is that giving away a mobile phone for free when you top up your phone bill will absolutely not work.

Because Motorola itself has a cooperation agreement with telecommunications operators, the communication of 8000X requires base stations to provide signals.

The construction of base stations requires a lot of investment and technical support to ensure signal coverage and communication quality.

Therefore, it is impossible to implement the policy of giving away mobile phones for free when you top up your phone bill.

Even the 50% discount they offered during pre-sales has almost meant they are selling at a loss.

If future sales fail to meet expectations, they are likely to suffer losses.

This was definitely not a scene they wanted to see, otherwise, the shareholders would eat everyone in their meeting room alive.

No matter how Motorola negotiated, Wang Duoyu, who was far away at Harbin Institute of Technology, had no idea and didn't care how miserable his competitors were.

At this time, Wang Duoyu was in the secretary's office, and Liu Deben was stating something: Japanese game giant Nintendo held a press conference on March 1st. They have developed a handheld game console that will be on sale on May 1st this year.

The first month of the year hasn’t even begun yet, and there’s already such big news in the gaming world.

The ones who are excited are game fans around the world, especially teenagers who like handheld game consoles, who are naturally very much looking forward to it.

Because Nintendo is a global gaming giant.

On New Year's Day last year, after Dolphin Games launched the handheld game console, this product swept the world and became the world's best-selling game product, without a doubt.

This was also the key factor that enabled Dolphin Games to earn nearly 5 billion US dollars in 1982.

Now that Nintendo has taken action, it remains to be seen how Dolphin Games responds.

"Duoyu, what products does our Dolphin Games company have now that can help us survive this crisis?"

Liu Deben asked worriedly.

He is very worried now because he is afraid that Dolphin Games Company will not be able to guarantee sales this year and that this year's performance will be worse than last year, which would be disastrous.

Because up to now, no company, whether it is Huaxin, Huashun, or Diaopai Company, can support a huge scale of 20 to 30 billion US dollars.

People are like this, greedy!

I earned 100,000 last year, so naturally I hope to earn more this year. If this year’s income is not as good as last year, my mood will definitely be affected.

"Of course!"

Hearing this, Wang Duoyu couldn't help but smiled and nodded and said:

"We developed an electronic pet game console called the Tamagotchi before the Spring Festival. Once it's on the market, not only Nintendo, but even all of them combined won't be able to compete."

"Besides, besides this pet egg game console, we can already launch the second version of our handheld game console."

"A larger display and more memory capacity. The price remains the same. I believe gamers will love this."

Liu Deben didn't have much confidence in the so-called pet egg.

If it weren't for Wang Duoyu's full confidence in it, Liu Deben would not have allowed the project to pass at that time.

It's ridiculous!
But now seeing that Wang Duoyu still has such great confidence, Liu Deben can only express his agreement.

Therefore, Dolphin Games’ strategy for responding to Nintendo’s new game consoles is to launch new products.

The first to be launched should be the second generation of handheld game consoles, which will be launched in the middle of this month, followed by the pet eggs in May.

Because pet eggs need to be stockpiled. Otherwise, if they are put on the market too early, the market will be too hot and there will be no way to meet the huge market demand in time.

Wang Duoyu is of course very confident about this, so he went against all objections and insisted on launching this product.

"Professor, Professor Charles called in half an hour and said he would come to your office at four o'clock this afternoon."

Just after Wang Duoyu finished talking with Liu Deben and walked out of the office, Su Zhenghuai came up and reported the situation.

As an assistant, Su Zhenghuai did a very good job.

Wang Duoyu nodded to indicate that he understood.

Looking at the time, Wang Duoyu found it was still a little early, so he went to the laboratory building.

After the Spring Festival, Wang Duoyu spent half of his time on the Nebula supercomputing project after he started working.

After all, this project will cost 500 million RMB, so Wang Duoyu had to get nervous.

At 3:40, Wang Duoyu finally finished his work and prepared to return to the mathematics department building.

But as soon as he walked out of Laboratory Building No. 6, he ran into Lu Yangui and others. They were walking in the warm corridor, and judging from the direction they were heading, they were undoubtedly heading towards the laboratory building.

"Oh, what a coincidence! Professor Wang, have you just finished your work?"

Seeing that it was Wang Duoyu, Lu Yangui couldn't help but greet him in surprise.

But Wang Duoyu still saw a clue from the unnatural expression of Lu Ruoxi who was not far from Lu Yangui.

It seems that this is not an accidental encounter, but a deliberately created encounter.

On the other hand, if Wang Duoyu remembered correctly, the National Science Conference was about to begin, and Lu Yangui actually came to Harbin Institute of Technology at this time. He must be extremely bored.

"Happy New Year, leader. Long time no see!" Wang Duoyu greeted with a smile.

It’s not the first lunar month yet, so it can be considered a late New Year.

What Wang Duoyu didn't expect was that Lu Yangui actually took out a red envelope and said, "I would have forgotten if you hadn't told me. Happy New Year! This is a red envelope for your son. This is my blessing. You can't refuse it."

This is a red envelope that is forced upon him, and Wang Duoyu has no choice but to accept it.

"I dare not refuse the gift given by the elders!"

Seeing Wang Duoyu accept the red envelope, Lu Yangui smiled happily and turned to wave at his granddaughter: "Ruoxi, come here quickly. You young people have more topics to talk about."
