Chapter 249, Selfishness

April 3, 1984, Dahonggou Village, Qingshan Township, Shuanghe County.

"That's cow dung. Who told you to play with it? It's so dirty."

Liu Xiaoli glared angrily at the naughty boy Wang Junhong. Ever since he came back to his hometown yesterday, the little guy had just let himself go.

Playing with cow dung is just the basic activity. There are also stealing eggs, chasing the dogs of neighbors and relatives, and watering the quilts that are drying outside with boy's urine, etc.

In short, in less than two days, the little guy had done several bad things.

But his father either stayed in the house reading or went out hunting, and he didn't care about this little guy.

Therefore, the responsibility of educating the children fell on Liu Xiaoli.

Since the last day of March, after accompanying the leader on a day of tour, Wang Duoyu prepared to return to his hometown the next day as planned, but he failed to leave and had to postpone his return until the 2nd.

Every year during the Qingming Festival holiday, it is a basic practice to go back to my hometown to worship my ancestors.

In his previous life, Wang Duoyu often did not return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, especially when he was studying, he did not return to his hometown for seven or eight years in a row.

It was not until my father passed away that I came to my senses. Since then, I have to go back to my hometown every Qingming Festival and Spring Festival.

People are like this. Only when they reach a certain age will they suddenly wake up.

When I was young, I thought it was just a pile of yellow earth. There was no need to travel thousands of kilometers on the road every year just to see that pile of yellow earth. Why bother?
But when he got old, he realized that it was not just a pile of yellow earth. There were also his beloved relatives there who would treat him as the closest relative of their children. And this so-called hometown had beautiful memories of his childhood. It was his lost youth.

"What did he do again?"

Wang Duoyu, who had just returned from outside, was holding two swans with broken wings. He looked at the crying Wang Junhong with a smile, then looked at Liu Xiaoli and asked.

I only heard her say unhappily:
"What else can I do? He went to play with cow dung, and his hands were dirty. I said a few words, but he talked back. I went to get a bamboo stick, but before I could hit him, he started crying."

"You're so cool, you just walk away and leave the child to me alone. You can teach him yourself."

Liu Xiaoli angrily dropped the bamboo vine and went back to the house.

Wang Duoyu squatted down, tears still on the little guy's face, but his eyes were fixed on the swan in his father's hand, because the swan's feathers were so beautiful.

Children are like this, they have a strong curiosity about everything.

"Wang Junhong, are you deliberately not listening to what your mother told you?"

"No, Dad, I'm very obedient." The little guy quickly argued, "Dad, can I touch them?"

"Stand still and tell me why you're playing with cow dung. What's so good about cow dung?"

Can the little guy tell me why?

No matter how smart he is, he is just a child.

Curiosity is just his inner driving force and doesn't mean anything.

After educating the little guy for a while, Wang Duoyu allowed him to touch the two swans.

In April, the swans are in the migration season. Although they are not very fat, they are meat after all. After being shot, they can still be eaten.

Just think of it as improving your life.

That night, Liang Xiufen and her friends helped cook a table of iron pot stewed geese, two swans, and other side dishes. The moment the pot was opened, the rich aroma filled the entire room.

The little kids were all yelling and loving the delicious goose so much.

After eating and drinking, the little guy Wang Junhong said to his father:

"Dad, are we still eating goose tomorrow?"

He hasn't eaten enough and wants to continue eating.

"Eat it if we can catch it." Wang Duoyu replied with a smile.

Tomorrow is Qingming Festival, but after paying homage to our ancestors, we can continue hunting.

Moreover, on the way to worship the ancestors, there may be migratory birds passing by in the sky, so just bring a hunting rifle with you. As long as you can hunt a swan, you can continue to stew it and eat it tomorrow.

"I have three swans at home, and they are very fat."

Wang Duoyu's fourth sister spoke up at this time, and several other relatives also spoke up, saying that they also had geese at home.

Since last June, Dahonggou Village has started to promote breeding, and such a wave has been set off in the entire Dahonggou Village. Although many people in several nearby villages are watching, more people have joined in.

Although it is not large-scale farming, it has become a trend.

At the end of the year, Want Want Group sent people to Dahonggou Village to purchase chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep, which made everyone a lot of money.

Since an agricultural station has been set up in Dahonggou Village, experts are very happy to help solve farmers' problems as long as they are related to breeding technology.

Dahonggou Village does not need to worry about the experts' salaries, because Wang Duoyu has already compensated these schools with resources from other places.

There were no major problems on the technical level, and every farmer in Dahonggou Village who participated in the breeding earned a lot more money than in previous years.

The most important thing is that this part of income does not need to be taxed.

They really don't need to pay taxes. Who can blame them for being small? They haven't set up any related companies to operate, so naturally they don't need to pay taxes.

However, the crops such as rice, corn, and wheat grown in their fields are subject to tax.

Therefore, after this year's Spring Festival, many people have begun looking for opportunities and are determined to make this money.

Reclaiming wasteland is necessary because raising chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep requires a lot of crops. If farmers are asked to spend money to buy them, it will definitely be impossible.

As for relying solely on wild plants in the nearby wastelands and mountains, it is certainly not enough.

After all, last year, there were many conflicts over wild vegetables for pig feed.

This contradiction is quite serious. It concerns the interests of both parties and no one is willing to make concessions.

So starting this year, we must draw a clear line between the two.

So, when Wang Duoyu came back, he could see many busy figures working in the nearby barren mountains and wastelands.

At this time of year in previous years, everyone would still be staying at home bragging and eating melon seeds, but this year, they had already gone out to work in the snow in late February.

If you are not proactive in making money, there is something wrong with your brain.

Old Wang's relatives were not so enthusiastic. They didn't even sell all their chickens, ducks and geese last year, and they kept a lot.

Although this will waste food, it is better than having nothing.

Because they all knew that Wang Duoyu would return to his hometown every year during the Spring Festival or other festivals.

This is the most famous relative of the Wang family. It is impossible that when Wang Duoyu comes back, there will be nothing good to treat him with, right?
"No, no, you can keep those geese for yourselves." Wang Duoyu declined with a smile.

To be honest, although the Wang family has many relatives, except for the second sister who has passed away, the eldest brother, third brother, fourth sister and other brothers and sisters are still alive, but the two younger sisters and eighth sister are the ones who are closer to Wang Duoyu.

As for his younger brother Wang Duoshi, he has been sent to the army and there has been no news of him for a long time.

Who made him like fighting so much?

In that case, let him go to the army to train and stay out of society, so that he won’t die on the street one day and no one will find him.

The next day, Qingming Festival, Wang Duoyu took his three-year-old child out to worship his ancestors.

On the way, the little guy asked many questions, especially about ancestor worship. Why do we have to worship our ancestors?

It was as if he had opened the book "A Hundred Thousand Whys", and questions kept popping up.

Ancestor worship is actually an opportunity for everyone to get together.

Of course, at this point in the 1980s, most of the time, everyone stayed together, and only a small number of young people went out.

For example, this year, Wang Jianchao and his friends did not come back because he was still in the United States.

When Lao Wang's relatives were offering sacrifices to their ancestors, they were gossiping, and with the little kids laughing and joking, the whole process was quite lively.

Liu Xiaoli also came with Wang Junan, and her two sisters Wang Meili also came.

In fact, they are both married and should not come back with me.

But their situation is special. So far, they have only returned to Li Yuanchao and Lu Qingsong's hometown once. Apart from that, they have been staying in Ice City.

"Brother, so many people are reclaiming wasteland this year? Did our family also reclaim some wasteland?"

Looking at the movement of the reclaimed wasteland ahead, Wang Duoyu asked in confusion.

His elder brother Wang Shoucheng, who was standing next to him, nodded to indicate that this was indeed the case.

However, the Wang family did not participate much, because most of the young people in the Wang family went to Ice City. To be honest, only a few old and weak people were left in their hometown.

If it weren’t for Qingming Festival or Spring Festival, you wouldn’t see many young people on weekdays.

Even Wang Duoyu's eighth sister's family has almost moved to Bingcheng, leaving only two children from their hometown studying here.

I guess after September this year, the two children will go to study in Bingcheng.

Wang Duoyu nodded and said nothing more.

Perhaps in a few years, there will be fewer and fewer relatives of the Wang family staying in Dahonggou Village.

Even in a few decades, maybe all the members of Old Wang's family will move away and won't stay here.

Of course, Dahonggou Village was once a barren wasteland, and later it gradually grew to its current size.

But with the wave of reform and opening up, this village will slowly wither away, especially after the millennium, when the urbanization process has accelerated and there will soon be not many people living in the countryside.

Dahonggou Village is just a microcosm of China's rural areas under the reform and opening up.

Although he felt emotional, Wang Duoyu didn't take it too seriously.

This is the trend of the times, and no one can stop it.

After the 5th, Wang Duoyu returned to Harbin Institute of Technology.

After returning to school, he took the initiative to contact Tong Jianwei and wanted to have a chat with him.

Upon hearing this, the latter immediately said that he would come to Harbin Institute of Technology in person.

"Um, Secretary Tong, there's no need to be like this. I'll come find you later."

"No, no, no, Professor Wang, you just stay at Harbin Institute of Technology. I'll be there soon. I just happen to be near your school."

Tong Jianwei quickly declined, and without giving Wang Duoyu a chance to refuse, he hung up the phone first.

After he hung up the phone, he immediately got up and went out.

Ever since the chief came last month, he finally realized how strong Wang Duoyu was.

Not to mention the chief's praise for Wang Duoyu, if Wang Duoyu spent more time on work and established a few more companies in Bingcheng, he would definitely contribute a lot to Bingcheng's GDP.

So, facing a busy man like Wang Duoyu, Tong Jianwei suddenly realized that his own business was nothing at all.

Instead of busying yourself, you might as well come and visit Wang Duoyu more often.

Tong Jianwei can tell what is more important and what is less important.

As soon as he went out, he met Zhao Guobin, and Tong Jianwei called him to go to Harbin Institute of Technology together.

After arriving at Harbin Institute of Technology, Tong Jianwei and Zhao Guobin went to Wang Duoyu's office and exchanged a few pleasantries. Then Wang Duoyu said straight to the point:

"It's like this, Secretary Tong, Executive Director Zhao, our Ice City is developing very fast right now."

"Want Want Group now has several companies, but judging by the current situation, it still needs strong support from Ice City."

There were mainly two things that Wang Duoyu talked about with Tong Jianwei and others. One was that he planned to promote the development of agricultural economy in Shuanghe County, mainly developing the planting and breeding economy.

For this, we definitely need strong support from Ice City.

However, Wang Duoyu didn't want to contact Shuanghe County, so he left this part of the matter to Tong Jianwei and others.

Shuanghe County or other counties are actually very suitable for promoting the planting economy and breeding economy.

But Shuanghe County is Wang Duoyu's hometown, and he certainly has his reasons for settling here.

As long as the economy of Shuanghe County develops, road traffic between Shuanghe County and Bingcheng will be put on the agenda, and even Wang Duoyu can take the initiative to mention the development of the expressway.

Of course, at this point in time, mentioning the highway would undoubtedly be foolish.

However, Wang Duoyu's plan has already begun, and he is waiting for Tong Jianwei and others to help implement it.

The expressway will definitely be built, it’s just a matter of when to start.

The second is about imported cars.

In February this year, the government issued the "Several Provisions on the Purchase of Motor Vehicles, Ships and Tractors by Individual Farmers or Joint Households for Transportation", which clarified the legality of private car purchases at the policy level for the first time.

So at this time, Wang Duoyu took the initiative to mention this point in the hope of promoting the development of the automobile industry and highways faster.

Want Want Group has no money. What it lacks is a large amount of investment funds, which are measured in tens of millions or hundreds of millions. Of course, it is short of money.

But Want Want Group will definitely not be short of tens of millions of funds, which can be used to buy luxury cars.

Wang Duoyu really wants to replace the car he has been using.

In fact, there is no problem if he rides alone, but the key is that he has family. Liu Xiaoli, Wang Junhong and Wang Junan have a bad experience every time they ride in the car.

Roads need to be repaired, which takes time, but cars can be replaced quickly and then registered.

There is absolutely no problem in purchasing and registering a car in the name of Want Want Group, but Wang Duoyu still hopes to do it in his private name.

After all, he has to pay taxes and that's no problem at all, and he won't be stingy with that little bit of tax money.

The second thing is to give some rewards to the executives of Want Want Group so that they can also experience what it means to enjoy life.

Pursuing a better life is a very simple idea for many people.

Since domestic cars can't do it yet, then they should learn more from foreign car brands and catch up.

"Professor Wang, aren't you at Harbin Institute of Technology researching electric vehicles? And you've also developed a lot of technologies related to car seat heating and noise reduction. Why are you still importing cars from abroad?"

Tong Jianwei asked in surprise after hearing this.

He had no objection to the first point mentioned by Wang Duoyu, but he did not quite understand the matter of purchasing an imported car and then registering it in Bingcheng in his personal capacity.

Given Wang Duoyu's status, he has no shortage of cars or anything like that. If you say that he is a Western-worshiping person, that is not entirely true.

But why?

"Secretary Tong, our country also produces grain. Don't we still have to import grain?"

Wang Duoyu asked with a smile:

"We also have a lot of minerals, oil and so on, but don't we still have to import them?"

"There's no need to ask too many questions. Foreign countries do indeed do better than us in many areas, and we must acknowledge that."

"I'm talking to you about these two things today. If the second thing can't be done, that's fine. It will still work if we list it on Want Want Group."

He didn't explain any further; it was a difficult matter to explain.

Harbin Institute of Technology's electric vehicles are still under research. It will undoubtedly be very difficult to promote the development of electric vehicles when the battery problem has not been completely solved.

Even if the battery technology problem is solved, the charging station problem, power supply, etc. are still huge problems.

The reason is very simple. It is inevitable that there will be a shortage of electricity in the Ice City, especially in winter, when the electricity supply is even tighter.

On the other hand, in the winter in the ice city, the temperature is minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius, and battery technology faces extremely serious challenges.

So it is not that simple at all, and it is impossible to solve these technical problems so quickly.

Unfortunately, these technical problems are not Wang Duoyu's professional field, so he can only provide research directions based on his memories of his previous life. The specific scientific research tasks have to be left to professionals to solve.

Therefore, the Harbin Institute of Technology electric vehicle project is not that fast. As for other cars, domestically produced cars here, alas, it is difficult.

The automobile manufacturing technology of the First Automobile Works has little innovation. It is barely acceptable for domestic use, but it would be too difficult to export it overseas.

Seeing this, Tong Jianwei and Zhao Guobin looked at each other, and then tactfully said that it was no problem.

Next, they skipped the issue of registering imported cars and instead consulted in detail about Shuanghe County's planting and breeding economic plans.

Planting economy is a very simple thing. Not to mention Chinese medicinal materials, this has always been one of the main sources of income for Shuanghe County, because this county has a large number of wild ginseng, angelica, astragalus and other Chinese medicinal materials.

Greenhouse vegetable and fruit planting is economical, and fruits such as cherries, hawthorns, apricots, and blueberries are also planted.

After the enterprises of Harbin Institute of Technology developed and high-tech companies such as Motorola were attracted to the area, the food economy around these companies should have developed.

Not to mention other things, just after these factories are built, the food, drink, and shelter of so many workers all cost money.

If it is just basic dietary needs such as rice, flour, grain, oil, etc., it is definitely not enough. You also need a richer variety of other snacks, delicacies, etc.

At the same time, processing factories for dried fruits, biscuits, etc. can be established to accelerate the development of light industry in Bingcheng.

Food is also one of the main factors in attracting talents. There must be something to attract these talents to stay here, right?
As for the breeding economy, it is even simpler. Wang Duoyu has mentioned this before. What's more, there is already a template in Dahonggou Village, so we can just copy the homework directly.

But one thing must be understood: Dahonggou Village is backed by Want Want Group, so there is no need to worry about not being able to consume more meat from livestock such as chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle, and sheep.

But for other breeders in Shuanghe County, Wang Duoyu will not provide a guarantee. This requires Shuanghe County to negotiate with Bingcheng, and the farmers will bear the risks themselves.

After hearing this, Tong Jianwei and the others' eyes brightened a lot.

Even though I have to bear the risk myself, I believe Shuanghe County will definitely not refuse, right?

After more than an hour, the two left satisfied.

Wang Duoyu's eyes were dim. He raised these two points out of selfish motives.

However, he still did not raise any issues regarding animal protection, and he did not even mention any suggestions for building a wildlife park.

This is the Northeast, not the South. There is no problem in building a zoo here, but it would be extremely difficult to maintain the daily maintenance of the zoo itself by collecting entrance fees.

So he won't mention it.

As the economy of Ice City develops faster and faster and more and more foreigners come to Ice City, the demand for many aspects of Ice City will become increasingly prominent.

The pursuit of spiritual level has also gradually been brought up, and the development of film and television entertainment culture also needs to be paid attention to.

But Wang Duoyu is not a professional in this field. The most he can do is give some advice, and he can't help with anything else.

However, the CD player is about to be released, and perhaps when it comes out, everything will be different.

Ding Ding Ding!
While Wang Duoyu was thinking, the Xiaolingtong cell phone on the desk rang.

"Duoyu, something's wrong. Toshiba has filed a patent infringement lawsuit in court, demanding that Huashun compensate Toshiba for $500 million in losses."

After receiving the call, Wang Duoyu burst into laughter when he heard what Liu Deben said.

"Five hundred million US dollars? Secretary, did I hear correctly? Toshiba is crazy about money, right? Since they want to do this, then it's perfect. Let's help each other."

If we don’t make good use of such a good advertisement, it would be a shame to Toshiba’s good intentions.

The GT series memory was launched on March 1st. Toshiba has already filed a lawsuit against Huashun for infringing on Toshiba's flash memory patents.

It's simply off the mark.

"Duoyu, are you in the office now? We'll come over right away to discuss something."

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu had no choice but to let them come over first.

Although he already has a Xiaolingtong, Wang Duoyu still hopes to communicate face to face rather than over the phone about many things.

After a while, Liu Deben and Lu Gongliang came over. They briefly stated Toshiba's claims and the lawyers' opinions on this infringement case.

"Then we can file a lawsuit. The lawyer's opinion is not that important. We just need to maximize our own interests. As for Toshiba's demands, they are neither important nor unimportant."

After listening, Wang Duoyu said indifferently:

"First and foremost, we must prioritize controlling public opinion. We don't need to be led astray by Toshiba. We are the primary inventors of flash memory technology, not Toshiba."

"Besides, the GT series solid-state drive memory is based on logic gate circuit flash memory technology. We don't have any products on the market that use non-gate flash memory technology. They can't sue us even if they want to."

This is a step to cut off the source of the problem. Wang Duoyu will never give the handle to Toshiba.

If the court on their side is shameless, haha, then don't blame Wang Duoyu for retaliating against them from other levels.

"Toshiba has made this news known to everyone, which is a good thing for us. That's why I say it's very important. We need to use this kind of advertising to let more people know about our GT series memory."

"It's not important because Toshiba's patents are completely harmless. We don't need to worry too much. We've even recruited Fujio's technical team. What else can they use to sue us?"

Although Wang Duoyu was full of confidence, it was Japan after all, and that was Toshiba's territory.

Huashun Company is an outsider, and it is not easy to defeat them.

Wang Duoyu shook his head and said nothing more.

He could not understand the concerns of Liu Deben and Lu Gongliang.

"That's it, Secretary, Principal, do you have anything else to do?"

After hearing what Wang Duoyu said, Liu Deben and the others felt helpless. Isn't this too bold?
I'm really not worried at all.

Two days later, Wang Duoyu arrived at the Harbin Institute of Technology Research Park and the car slowly drove into the Pioneer Technology Manufacturing Plant.

Before the Lantern Festival this year, Pioneer Technology had already recruited enough people and the entire project was launched smoothly.

However, the aviation engine project is still in the learning stage, and most researchers are still familiarizing themselves with previous technical information or reading some of the information.

It was only after March that they began engine design.

Wang Duoyu said that he didn't participate much, and he really did participate very rarely.

But seeing that their development was very slow, a month had passed and they still hadn't produced a few design drawings, he had to do it himself.

So, after the Qingming Festival, he returned from his hometown and spent time designing aircraft engines.

He mainly referred to the turbofan engine information he had seen before and then designed it.

He has already produced two hundred drawings and handed them over to the technicians of Pioneer Technologies' aviation engine project department for study.

Being both a dad and a mom, it feels so exciting.

After spending just one day at Pioneer Technology, Wang Duoyu fired fifteen people.

They are all people who come to fish in troubled waters. What are they doing here?
As the head of Pioneer Technology, Shu Biaoyin was very troubled, but he could do nothing about it.

He could only recruit qualified technical R&D personnel again according to Wang Duoyu's requirements.

Pioneer Technology has very high requirements, and it is very difficult to recruit suitable personnel.

But no matter how difficult it is, we must solve this problem.

Two days later, Zheng Baoyin, Wang Jianchao, Wei Ruolai and others returned from the United States.

In the teacher villa area of ​​Harbin Institute of Technology, Wang Duoyu's home, they reported to Wang Duoyu in the study about their work during their time in the United States.

Including Qu Haiping, Wei Ruolai and Liang Shengzhi, they all gave relatively detailed statements.

After listening to this, Wang Duoyu nodded and said:
"Very good. Being able to achieve so much in such a short time is truly commendable."

"In that case, let's follow the original plan. Starting in June of this year, we will officially arrange the launch. You will stay in China for half a month, and then immediately go to the United States. You must complete all the preparatory work before the launch, especially the marketing work. You must do it well, because the success of our product depends entirely on marketing."

There are too few consumers of tap water.

If they only rely on tap water, many companies will probably suffer huge losses.

But in Wang Duoyu's dictionary, this is absolutely not allowed.

Flyers, bus advertisements, movie posters, etc., these strategies must be used and they must be done well.

The conversion rate must be high enough. Otherwise, if you spend so much money on advertising but only a few consumers are converted, it would be a waste of money.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Baoyin and the others nodded repeatedly.

They have been in the United States for such a long time, especially Zheng Baoyin, who is very familiar with the United States. No matter what they do, they will definitely need money.

Our ancestors said that money makes the world go round. This saying has been perfectly interpreted in the United States.

Especially the gift money system, wow, it's really eye-opening.

"At this stage, sports brands like Adidas, Nike, Reebok, and Mizuno won't pay attention to us, so we must take advantage of this period to prioritize development."

"Because we are directly facing the client, we must pay close attention to the training of our sales staff and not let them take advantage of the situation."

"A reward and punishment system is extremely important. As senior executives, you must manage your management team and ensure that each executive's region completes the relevant sales tasks. Rewards and penalties for winning and losing must be clearly established."

Wang Duoyu put forward his own development suggestions for the two major sports brands, Yuebu and Muscle Shark.

The regional manager is responsible for the managers of each store in his area, and the manager manages store managers and other employees. It is necessary to do a good job of training so that they all have a sense of participation as the protagonist.

Sales commission is inevitable. At the manager level, there is also profit sharing from all stores in the city, etc., which all means money.

As long as they manage it well, why worry about not having money?

The models of clothing brands are actually similar.

If Youma Clothing can be successful, there is no reason why other brands cannot be successful.

As long as you work hard, there will be no problem in the end.

They stayed in the study for more than two hours, and when they came out, it was already dark outside.

After a brief meal, Zheng Baoyin and the others went back to work.

The next day, Wang Duoyu returned to the mathematics building. John Milnor and Charles Feefman came over and brought a piece of news: Krishna, a mathematics professor at the Imperial College of India, submitted a paper to the American Journal of Mathematics to refute Wang Duoyu's paper.

Wang Duoyu became interested after hearing this and said:
"Do you have the full paper? Let me take a look."

“No, the paper was rejected.”

Hearing Charles Fefferman's words, Wang Duoyu was speechless. "No, since it has been rejected, why are you still telling me about this?"

In other words, Krishna's paper couldn't even pass the review team of the Annals of Mathematics, so what's the point of talking about it?

"Haha, we just want to see your reaction."

John Milno and the other man could no longer hold back and burst into laughter. Wang Duoyu rolled his eyes and was too lazy to talk to them.

After laughing, Charles Fefferman said:
"Professor Wang, we just wanted to see if you really took this matter seriously. Now it seems... Oh, by the way, what topic are you researching recently? When is this month's math sharing session scheduled?"

The monthly mathematics sharing has not stopped. After all, it is only once a month, which is nothing to Wang Duoyu.

Moreover, to be honest, communicating with others is also quite good, which can help you understand some of the situations in the outside world.

"What else could it be? Of course it's the geometric Langlands conjecture. I feel like this problem is almost finished. If I work harder, maybe I can finish it soon."

After a pause, Wang Duoyu continued:

"However, I made some unexpected discoveries during this process, and I may have to suspend my work on proving the geometric Langlands hypothesis for a while."

Hearing Wang Duoyu's words, John Milnor and Charles Fefferman were both shocked.

They just came to have a brief exchange with Wang Duoyu and asked about his latest research and development progress.

I didn't expect that the situation would be like this.

An unexpected discovery?

What unexpected discovery?

Even more important than the geometric Langlands conjecture?
Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu did not answer their questions, but shook his head and said:
"This can only be kept secret. I'm not sure yet. If I tell you now, and then it's not true, or I can't prove it, then it would be a false alarm, which wouldn't be good."

He is not Professor Krishna in India. He is obviously of average ability, but he insists on being like a loud speaker. He has failed to become famous, but it is not surprising that he has made a fool of himself.

As a mathematics professor, the most basic rigorous attitude is a must.

What's more, it is a scientific research result?

If you are not rigorous about your scientific research results, let alone other things.

John Milno and the other man were immediately very curious. They both wanted to know what unexpected discovery Wang Duoyu had made, but he was unwilling to tell them, and they really had no idea what to do.

At the same time, they were also very envious of Wang Duoyu's brain, which was never lacking in creativity and mathematical talent.

That afternoon, Robert Langlands, David Bryant Manford, Vladimir Feld and others all came to Wang Duoyu's office.

"Professor Wang, are you trying to prove the fundamental lemma of the Langlands program?"

After Robert Langlands asked this question, everyone looked at Wang Duoyu intently.

Since Robert Langlands proposed the Langlands Program, he, his colleagues, and his students have proved this fundamental lemma many times.

However, Robert and his team's method can only prove that the basic lemma is correct in some extremely special cases.

The fundamental lemma for the general case has never been proven.

So until now, most mathematicians studying the Langlands program have only been able to conduct research under the premise that the "fundamental lemma is correct."

A few years ago, the reason why Wang Duoyu was able to gather Robert Langlands, John Milnor, Charles Fefferman and others in Ice City was all because of the Langlands Program and Wang Duoyu's own strength.

After all, Wang Duoyu proved the Fermat conjecture, which is the most powerful proof of the Langlands program.

Secondly, Vladimir Feld proposed the geometrized Langlands conjecture in 1980, and then Wang Duoyu published several related papers, giving a precise description of this conjecture in mathematics.

This is also one of the most powerful evidences to promote the Langlands Program, the grand unified theory of mathematics, so it is also attractive.

In addition, there is the fundamental lemma of the Langlands program that Robert Langlands and his team have been struggling to verify.

"Haha, you are all smart people, why are you still asking me?"

Wang Duoyu said with a smile that he did not deny it because he couldn't hide it.

In the morning, John Milnor and Charles Fefferman did not say anything because Wang Duoyu had said early on that it must be kept confidential.

But now Robert and the others have guessed it, so there is no need to hide it.

However, it is impossible to get him to reveal more information.

When everyone heard this, their eyes became sharp. They all felt that Wang Duoyu seemed to be going to make a big splash this time.

Since he published a paper titled "Strange Support of Coherent Sheets and Geometrized Langlands Conjecture" in 1980, following Vladimir Feld, Wang Duoyu has been working rapidly on the grand unified theory.

Leaving everyone far behind.

When the geometric Langlands conjecture had reached the most critical step in proving it, he suddenly braked and wanted to prove the basic lemma.

Although they didn't understand, Robert and the others absolutely supported it.
