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

Chapter 250: Something is wrong with Zhu Ling

In late April 1984, a mathematics sharing session was underway in the lecture hall of the Department of Mathematics teaching building.

By April 1984, the reputation of the Department of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology was growing nationwide.

Although each monthly mathematics sharing session is limited to the lecture hall, many people still come specifically to attend the class.

The second half of last year was fine because Wang Duoyu started teaching. Although the qualifications for attending the class required an assessment, some people still stood at the door to listen.

After the start of school in the first half of this year, the monthly math sharing sessions were always crowded.

Because only at this time can you see Wang Duoyu, it is difficult to see him at other times.

Just as Wang Duoyu was sharing his monthly mathematics, far away in Guangzhou, the annual college entrance examination application process had already begun at Zhixin Middle School.

"Which school are you applying to?"

Many students are asking this question.

Because everyone doesn’t understand much and doesn’t know much about many schools.

"Any further questions? Since you're so good at math, you should definitely apply to the Mathematics Department at Harbin Institute of Technology. You'll become pillars of our country in the future."

After hearing the teacher's suggestion, many students were shocked.

"Teacher, Harbin Institute of Technology is in the Ice City. It's too far away, more than 3,000 kilometers away, and the winter is very long."

"Yes, although I like to see snow, I can't help shivering when I think about how cold winter is."

"Don't you guys watch the news? People in the north have heating, so it's not cold at all in the winter. You didn't see the news a while ago, did you? Harbin Institute of Technology even has a heated corridor."

A top student suddenly spoke and everyone was stunned.

At this time, someone suddenly spoke up and echoed:

"Yes, my cousin went to study at Sun Yat-sen University two years ago. Then, during the winter break of the year before last and the summer break of last year, he went to Harbin Institute of Technology as an exchange student. When he came back, he said he regretted it and said he should have applied to Harbin Institute of Technology. He also suggested that I apply to Harbin Institute of Technology, especially its Department of Mathematics, but my math skills are only average."

Students with average math scores: "."

A top student with full marks in mathematics actually said that he is average in mathematics?
However, after hearing what this classmate said, everyone started asking for details.

We are all busy studying on weekdays and have not really paid much attention to these things.

So the classmate told everything he knew.

His cousin has been to Harbin Institute of Technology and knows the situation there very well.

But at this time, the teacher thought of a lot.

Perhaps we can invite some outstanding alumni who are already studying in college to come back to the school to give speeches, and tell these confused high school students about college life and majors, so that they can make better choices.

Many people filled out their applications in a daze, but quite a few knew what their goals were, so they would all work hard towards their goals.

According to the history of the original time and space, Harbin Institute of Technology would not be discussed by these ordinary high school students, but even in this time and space, Wang Duoyu has appeared in media newspapers many times, and there are still many people who don’t know who he is.

But the exchange student's move was a brilliant one!
There are also mathematics competitions, national modeling competitions, etc., which will gradually ferment and become the most worthwhile school to apply for in the minds of many students.

While students from many high schools across the country were discussing how to fill out their applications, some had already received admission letters from various universities because they obtained them through competitions.

Many of them chose Harbin Institute of Technology and have already arrived at Bingcheng Railway Station by train.

When they arrive in Bingcheng, they will find that the Bingcheng Railway Station is indeed not very good, but not long after leaving the railway station, they will realize that they are wrong, and they are very wrong, because the city of Bingcheng is indeed developing very fast.

The Ice City Railway Station is actually a bit overwhelmed because too many products of Harbin Institute of Technology are exported. Although most of them are shipped by sea, trains are also needed to transport the goods to the port.

The overall transportation pressure has become very tense.

In addition, economic development has led many people to choose trains as an important means of transportation. At a train speed of 70 kilometers per hour or less, the tracks are no longer sufficient for both passenger and freight trains.

The solution is also simple, which is to speed up.

It is impossible to build a new railway track because the capital investment is too huge.

It is simply not something that Ice City can afford at this stage.

However, speeding up cannot be achieved just by saying so. How much to increase, how to increase, how to ensure safety, and how to schedule are all issues that need to be addressed.

Regarding the issue of train scheduling, especially national train scheduling, this requires powerful mathematical computing power to carry out planning simulations.

Theoretical numerical calculations, probabilistic events, etc.

Wang Duoyu didn't know all this. He was in the laboratory building, discussing the technical research and development of sub-combustion ramjet engines with a group of researchers.

The material problem is something that Wang Duoyu cannot solve. It requires professors and experts from various departments of Harbin Institute of Technology to complete. But as long as it is related to mathematics or mathematical physics, he can help.

In the past February, March and early April, Wang Duoyu was in charge of these parts of work at school. Although they were scattered and seemed messy, they were actually very fulfilling.

"Professor, do you think we can build a wind tunnel laboratory in Ice City?"

Just after finishing today's work, the person in charge, Xu Yimin, suddenly asked a question.

Wang Duoyu was stunned for a moment, "Why does Ice City have to have a wind tunnel laboratory?"

He didn't quite understand that the wind tunnel laboratory was very important, but it didn't have to be placed in the Ice City.

"It's just that we often have to go to the capital, and the trip back and forth takes up a lot of time."

After hearing Xu Yimin's words, Wang Duoyu looked at him expressionlessly and waited for him to finish speaking.

"Didn't Harbin Institute of Technology earn a lot of foreign exchange last year? As far as I know, the JF8 shock wave wind tunnel developed by Professor Yu Hongru and his team only cost RMB, which is not expensive."

After the other party finished speaking, Wang Duoyu said coldly:

"Yes, an 80,000 RMB wind tunnel laboratory is indeed not expensive. Do you have the money? How about you build one yourself?"

Haha, he didn't expect that Xu Yimin was also a person with high expectations but low skills.

I haven’t made any money yet, but I’m an expert at spending money.

They only focus on how much money Harbin Institute of Technology earned last year, but they don’t see how much money Harbin Institute of Technology spent last year.

Selective blindness.

Yes, 80,000 RMB is indeed not a lot of money, and even Wang Duoyu can come up with the money himself, but this is not how money should be spent.

First of all, the reason why Wang Duoyu did not choose to build a wind tunnel laboratory in Ice City was not because he could not afford the money, but because of considerations such as maintenance and electricity costs.

There are already a lot of thermal power plants in Ice City, but they still cannot keep up with the development speed of Ice City.

Especially after April, several foreign-funded enterprises came in one after another, so the demand for electricity increased a lot.

Electricity demand is highly uneven across the city, and before 1978, there was virtually no demand at all.

Because at that time, heavy industries such as steel mills all had their own power plants.

However, almost none of the companies affiliated with Harbin Institute of Technology have their own power plants. Especially after the establishment of lithography machine factories and chip factories, the demand for electricity has increased a lot.

In addition, over the past six months, Nebula Supercomputing needed to urgently produce supercomputers to complete orders, so the demand for electricity completely surpassed that of other factories.

This resulted in residents experiencing occasional power outages.

There is no other way. Each Nebula supercomputer requires 80,000 processors. As a result, the demand for chips, which is ultimately aggregated into the demand for electricity, is naturally maxed out.

Just at this time, Motorola's mobile phone manufacturer also placed an order with Harbin Institute of Technology's chip manufacturer, and it was an expedited order.

After all, they need to get the order as soon as possible and then sell the Motorola 8000X on the market.

Motorola no longer dared to compete head-on with cordless phones in the U.S. market. Instead, they went to develop the South American and European markets, just to make more money as quickly as possible.

After all, the Xiaolingtong mobile phone had not yet been launched on the market at that time, and the dominance of cordless phones was a foregone conclusion.

To be honest, Motorola doesn't want to place an order with the chip factory at Harbin Institute of Technology, but it can't place an order with companies like Intel, right?
From a cost perspective, Harbin Institute of Technology certainly beats Intel and other companies, and TSMC had not yet been established at that time.

So if Motorola doesn’t turn to Harbin Institute of Technology, who else can it turn to?
The launch date of the Xiaolingtong mobile phone was originally scheduled for March, and even in February, operator giants such as AT&T had already begun urging it to be released.

But after testing, Huaxin Company still refused and postponed the time to June.

The reason is very simple. The installation of base station equipment is too slow and the cost is very high.

The labor cost in the United States is very high, but the efficiency is not very high, and overtime is even more impossible.

So, for now, we can only wait.

On the other hand, due to the power shortage in Ice City, there is not enough stock of Xiaolingtong mobile phones, and it is definitely not a good idea to launch them as planned.

In addition to being able to make adequate preparations, launching the product later will also allow competitors to learn about Xiaolingtong's technology later.

After all, once the Xiaolingtong mobile phone is on the market, competitors will definitely start disassembling it immediately and then reversely infer all the technologies of this phone.

Even if competitors can only watch helplessly because of patents, capital will always do whatever it takes for profit.

The problem of power shortage is one of them. After all, the wind tunnel laboratory consumes a lot of electricity.

The power consumption of a wind tunnel like JF8 is still acceptable. However, if it is a wind tunnel laboratory with higher supersonic speeds, the consumption will be even more terrifying.

The second reason is that the sub-combustion ramjet engine project team must go to Beijing, because the main force of the Mach 5 fighter project is in Beijing.

On the other hand, the Mach 5 fighter jet project is not Harbin Institute of Technology's own project, so if there is any funding, it will not come from Harbin Institute of Technology.

Although it's only 80,000 RMB, which is just a matter of Wang Duoyu's words, there is no need for that.

Even Wang Duoyu himself needs to travel to Beijing from time to time to communicate with other project teams.

It is impossible to develop a fighter jet based on the sub-combustion ramjet engine alone.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yimin's face turned pale and he remained silent.

He was not stupid, so of course he could see that Wang Duoyu was angry.

If he continued to talk, Wang Duoyu might make things difficult for him.

"How much foreign exchange Harbin Institute of Technology earns has nothing to do with you. You are from the Yaran Ramjet Project, not any other project team at Harbin Institute of Technology. You need to understand your own identity."

Wang Duoyu said:

"What's hindering the development of sub-combustion ramjet engines isn't the location of the wind tunnel, but rather issues like material development. Furthermore, we already have computational fluid dynamics simulation software with all the simulation data, which has greatly reduced our reliance on wind tunnels."

This reason is the key point!

Otherwise, Wang Duoyu would naturally not be stingy with the 80,000 RMB.

However, after Wang Duoyu came out of the laboratory building, he thought of Pioneer Technology.

"Forget it, no rush!"

Pioneer Technology’s aircraft engine design drawings haven’t been fully designed yet, so why think so much?
Simulation software can be used in the early stage, and there is no rush to use the wind tunnel laboratory in the later stage.

In the blink of an eye, it is the end of April and May 1st, International Labor Day, is approaching.

When Wang Duoyu returned home that day, he suddenly thought of something, so he pulled the little guy Wang Junhong aside and asked:
"Did your mother call you?"

It seems that Zhu Ling has disappeared for some time. Logically, this is a good thing, but when things are abnormal, there must be something wrong.

At the end of August last year, Zhu Ling returned to Beijing with Wang Duoyu and others and lived in No. 87, Zhongguancun West Street.

Ever since Wang Duoyu slept in the same bed with her that time, he was very angry, and Zhu Ling also took the initiative to leave.

Until now, Wang Duoyu didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but at this moment, the more he reflected on it, the more he felt that something was wrong with Zhu Ling.

Because before August last year, she wanted to be around little guy Wang Junhong every day, but since then, until now, it is almost May, a full nine months, and except for the one visit on the little guy's third birthday, she has called him less and less frequently.

Something is very wrong!

"Yes, my mom called me this afternoon. She told me to take care of myself as the seasons change and not to catch a cold. She also told me to tell Dad to take care of himself."

Hearing the little guy's words, Wang Duoyu smiled, said a few words to the little guy, then shook his head and returned to the study.

He didn't know what Zhu Ling was up to, but he didn't think too much about it.

It's just that he suddenly woke up now, so he remembered this matter.

It would be better if the other party didn't show up, so that Liu Xiaoli wouldn't be jealous about this matter again.

"Xiao Li, how about we go out for a walk on May Day?"

"Where to go?"

"Go south to the Yangtze River!"

Liu Xiaoli was surprised when she heard this. "Are you talking about Jiangcheng?"

"No, I want to go to the ancient city of Jiangnan and stay there for a while to experience what plum rain is like."

The plum rain season in the south is in June and July every year, but it may come earlier occasionally.

In short, no matter what, if you travel at this time in May, it must be spring in the south, and it is indeed a good time to go for an outing.

In addition to the ancient cities of Jiangnan, there are also the West Lake in Hangzhou, etc. These are all very good places to visit, relax, and take a walk.

Hearing Wang Duoyu's words, Liu Xiaoli nodded repeatedly.

She had been stuck at home for almost a year and had hardly gone out since July and August last year. Although she went back to Dahonggou Village during the Qingming Festival, she just stayed at home in a different place.

This little brat Wang Junan is less than four months old, so it is relatively troublesome for him to go anywhere.

But if you go to Hangzhou, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

"Well, let's pack our luggage and set off tomorrow night," Wang Duoyu said with a smile, and Liu Xiaoli nodded excitedly.

At this time, the little guy also came to join in the fun, cheering and jumping for joy.

The next day, Shing-Tung Yau came to discuss a math problem with Wang Duoyu. After the discussion, he asked Wang Duoyu where he was going on May Day.

When he learned that he was going to Hangzhou, he was immediately surprised:

"I also want to go to Shanghai and chat with my brothers. How about we go together?"

"No, I'm going by train, so I might not be going the same way as you."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Chengtong looked at him with a strange expression:
"You wouldn't be so scared, would you? It's just a bird accidentally hitting a machine. Why are you so scared?"

The last time was when Wang Duoyu had to make an emergency landing in the Songhua River when he was flying back to Ice City. Everyone knows about this.

But no one expected that Wang Duoyu would stop taking planes because of this, and even actively promoted the establishment of an airline. It really was true that the word "fear" was engraved in his bones.

Once bitten by a snake, he will be afraid of well ropes for ten years.

"You only have one life, and taking a train is pretty good, you can give it a try."

Wang Duoyu curled his lips and did not argue with the other party.

Qiu Chengtong didn't say anything else, but just made an appointment to meet in Hangzhou.

"Aren't you going to Shanghai? Why are you going to Hangzhou?"

"You can go to the West Lake, so why can't I? I've heard about Leifeng Pagoda, right? It's a nice place, I want to go see it too, right?"

Hearing what the other party said, Wang Duoyu said: "Okay, no problem, as long as you like it."

In the afternoon, Wang Duoyu set off with Liu Xiaoli, Wang Meihe, Wang Meili, Lu Qingsong, Li Yuanchao and others to Bingcheng Railway Station.

The group we were traveling with was relatively large, which was the best thing for the little ones because with so many people around, they wouldn't be bored during the trip.

But what the little guy didn’t like was that he didn’t take a plane.

Wang Duoyu knew that if he wanted to take a flight, he would have to wait until at least the end of the year, because although the new aircraft of Northern Airlines had been ordered, delivery would only be possible until the end of the year.

In order not to lose Air China as a customer, Boeing had to give in and deliver two of its Boeing 737 passenger aircraft to Air China in advance, so that Air China would not have to wait in line for two years to get the aircraft.

Yes, passenger aircraft are ordered in advance and then customized according to needs.

Although they are passenger planes operated by airlines, they should all be standard aircraft, but some of them only have business class and economy class, some have first class, business class and economy class, and some have only economy class.

The needs of different airlines are naturally different.

Northern Airlines only needs business class and economy class, and does not need first class.

Being able to transport customers is enough, nothing else is important.

Coincidentally, Boeing was able to coordinate internally, so two aircraft were able to be delivered in June this year, but Northern Airlines also needed to send technicians, pilots, etc. to Boeing six months in advance for various training.

The entire training lasts for half a year, so the aircraft will not be able to fly back to China until the end of the year.

Since flying is not possible for the time being, the same applies to taking the train.

Moreover, even if it is a new aircraft, it may not be 100% risk-free.

There is no very clear probability for this kind of thing. After all, some people may die accidentally just by drinking water. Who can you ask for justice?

Bang, bang, bang!

The train departs from the Ice City and heads to the capital, then transfers to other trains and heads south to Shanghai.

By the time Wang Duoyu and his team arrived in Shanghai, it was already the morning of May 3rd.

The speed of slow trains and fast trains are two completely different things, and they are often delayed along the way, so it is very slow.

But no matter how slow it was, we finally arrived in Shanghai.

If it were sixteen years ago, the situation would definitely be different and it would have taken longer.

Because there was no Yangtze River Bridge in Nanjing before, after the train arrived in Nanjing, you had to get off the train, take a ferry across the river, and then take a train to Shanghai.

It's just so troublesome.

After arriving in Shanghai, Wang Duoyu and his friends checked into a guesthouse near Sinan Road.

Since they stayed on the train the whole time, they did not go out that morning and only went for a walk nearby in the afternoon.

But the next day, before Wang Duoyu and his friends went out to play, someone came to block the door.

They were two leaders from Shanghai, Xia Huarong and Zhang Yuebin. They didn't know where they got the news from, and then they came to meet Wang Duoyu in person.

"Two leaders, is there something wrong?"

“No, we are just guides.”

"Um, boss, this is the case. This isn't my first time in Shanghai. I've been here before, and there are two Shanghainese in our group, so we don't need a guide."

Wang Duoyu was already very tactful, but it was no use. Xia Huarong and Zhang Yuebin were still shameless and insisted on being the guide.

The other party was so enthusiastic and a little humble, and Wang Duoyu had no choice.

So for the next two days, Xia Huarong and his friend accompanied Wang Duoyu while he was traveling.

In fact, Wang Duoyu already had a rough guess about the other party's purpose, but he was too lazy to say it. Anyway, he came to Shanghai purely for fun this time.

Given his status and position, Xia Huarong and the others probably wouldn't dare to use force or other means against him, and could only resort to this shameless method.

Two days later, Wang Duoyu and his team set off for Hangzhou. At this time, Qiu Chengtong suddenly contacted him.

The Xiaolingtong mobile phone can be used in Shanghai, but the signal is not very good because the base station equipment has not been fully installed.

It is like this. The vast majority of Huaxin’s base station equipment, or about 80%, will be shipped abroad.

There are about 20% left, which will be used to provide two base station equipment to several cities such as Bingcheng, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Wang Duoyu’s hometown, Dahonggou Village.

The reason why Dahonggou Village exists is because of demand!
The customer base is centered around Wang's relatives, who often need to use Xiaolingtong mobile phones. In addition, Wang Duoyu comes back from time to time, so there is definitely a need for a base station here.

After making an appointment with Shing-Tung Yau, Wang Duoyu and his group met up at Sinan Road and then took a car to Hangzhou.

Although there are not so many cement roads in this era, this is one of the most economically developed regions in the country. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was a major city in the Far East.

So the roads here are pretty good, at least relatively flat.

Half a morning passed before we finally arrived in Hangzhou safely.

The so-called guides Xia Huarong and Zhang Yuebin who accompanied them both looked pale.

But they still insisted on staying with me.

The scenery of West Lake in Hangzhou is very beautiful. Wang Duoyu and his friends stayed here for two days, and then went to ancient towns such as Zhouzhuang.

I stayed in Zhouzhuang for two days and happened to encounter drizzling weather, which gave me a taste of what Jiangnan is like.

The adults were very excited about the trip, but the children were exhausted, so they needed to rest for a day or two at each place.

Qiu Chengtong followed Wang Duoyu's group for five days, and then they parted ways.

On May 12, Wang Duoyu and his friends finally returned to Shanghai.

"Two leaders, you've worked so hard these past few days. I bet you must have a lot to say, right?"

Inside the guesthouse room, Wang Duoyu looked at the two leaders and chuckled softly.

Xia Huarong and the other man smiled awkwardly, but neither of them spoke first.

Of course they knew that Wang Duoyu was a smart man, and a very, very, very smart man, so they had to think carefully before speaking.

I was afraid of making Wang Duoyu unhappy. If I failed to achieve my goal, all the hard work I had done in the past few days would be in vain.

"Well, Professor Wang, we know that besides your great achievements in mathematics, you're also known as the Midas Touch."

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Yuebin took the initiative to speak:

"Ice City, a heavy industrial city in the north of our country, has now developed very balanced thanks to you, Professor Wang. Whether it's heavy industries like steel metallurgy and machinery manufacturing, or light industries like food manufacturing and clothing textiles, or high-tech companies like computers, photolithography machines, and PHS phones, Ice City has developed very well."

"So we came to you this time hoping you could give us some advice on the direction of development and how Shanghai should utilize its own geographical advantages."

Wang Duoyu: “.”

Does Shanghai need his guidance?

No need at all!
The Ice City's geographical location is indeed dozens of streets behind Shanghai, and Shanghai's historical status has long proved that it must be the vanguard of the country's economic development.

What's more, the higher-ups also attach great importance to Shanghai, and all kinds of policy inclinations and resources are concentrated in Shanghai.

On the other hand, Shanghai is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River. All goods coming from the sea need to be transported to Shanghai and then transferred to inland shipping to the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River plain area, and even along the Yangtze River into Chongqing and Chengdu in the southwest hinterland.

Therefore, Shanghai’s geographical advantages have determined everything. It only needs to develop step by step and reap the benefits.

"My dear leaders, Shanghai has a unique geographical advantage. We don't need my guidance at all. Besides, haven't the higher-ups already given us a lot of development suggestions? I think you're doing very well now. There's no need to make too many changes."

Hearing Wang Duoyu's words, Zhang Yuebin immediately smiled bitterly and said:

"Professor Wang, this is just superficial. In reality, Shanghai's GDP last year was only 40 billion RMB. But what about Ice City?"

In the history of the original time and space, the GDP of Ice City was only 5.896 billion yuan, far surpassed by Shanghai.

However, at this time and space, the enterprises affiliated with Harbin Institute of Technology alone generated foreign exchange income of 11.035 billion US dollars.

According to the dual-track exchange rate for enterprises, this is 35.2 billion yuan.

The total revenue of the Brabus Watch Factory under Want Want Group was RMB 330 million last year, while the total export revenue of Youma Clothing was RMB 291.8 million and the total domestic revenue of Youma Clothing was RMB 367 million.

The output value created by Want Want Group is 1.63 billion yuan.

In other words, due to the direct influence of Wang Duoyu, the GDP of Ice City increased by 36.83 billion yuan compared with the original time and space.

And under the indirect influence of Wang Duoyu, such as the advice given to Tong Jianwei and others, and the food economy surrounding Harbin Institute of Technology.

As a result, compared with the original time and space, the GDP of Ice City has reached 6.7 billion yuan.

Therefore, in this time and space, the GDP of Ice City reached 43.5 billion yuan last year.

It seems that it is only 3.5 billion yuan more than Shanghai, but Xia Huarong and Zhang Yuebin both know very well that 80% of the credit is related to Wang Duoyu.

Not to mention the companies affiliated with Harbin Institute of Technology, in addition to Wang Duoyu himself, Harbin Institute of Technology itself also has great contributions.

However, the revenue data of two companies under Want Want Group, Babos Watch Factory and Uma Clothing Brand Company, are also very impressive.

If this doesn't prove that Wang Duoyu's influence caused Ice City's GDP to explode, then you're blind.

Xia Huarong and the others knew very well that whether in terms of geographical location or policy support, Ice City and Shanghai were not comparable at all, and Ice City was definitely crushed by Shanghai.

But the Ice City has surpassed Shanghai in terms of GDP.

The reason is because of Wang Duoyu and Harbin Institute of Technology.

Xia Huarong and his team have no way to move Harbin Institute of Technology to Shanghai, and Wang Duoyu probably won't come to Shanghai either, so we have to settle for the second best and hope that Wang Duoyu can give some constructive suggestions.

We even welcome Wang Duoyu to invest and build a factory in Shanghai.

"So, Professor Wang, please don't be so modest. We all know that you are more than just the mathematician you've been touted for in the newspapers. Your Want Want Group, while a watch and clothing factory, is also among the best in the country."

Zhang Yuebin continued:

"Shanghai seems to have a unique geographical advantage, but as you know very well, we are indeed facing many difficulties."

Attracting investment is not something that can be done well just by doing it.

But after Shanghai has so many advantages, it found that companies like Motorola actually went to the Ice City?
Who doesn’t know that the Ice City has a winter that lasts for half a year?

Obviously, Shanghai also has a large number of universities, and its policies towards foreign investment are very good, and its transportation advantages are not comparable to those of the Ice City.

But it is really puzzling that high-tech foreign companies such as Motorola actually went to the Ice City.

So Shanghai is very anxious.

It wanted to be the number one city in the country, but was snatched away by Ice City.

In the past, Northeast China was a heavy industrial base, there is nothing much to say about that.

But now that reform and opening up have taken place, shouldn’t Shanghai be the most powerful?
Xia Huarong echoed:

"Yes, Professor Wang, we just hope you can help point out the direction of development. If possible, we hope you can invest and build a factory in Shanghai. Don't worry, if Bingcheng can give you, we in Shanghai will definitely not be far behind."

Wang Duoyu heard this, but remained silent.

He was in no hurry to speak.

Over the past few days, Xia Huarong and Zhang Yuebin had accompanied him on this journey. Of course, he couldn't hide what they were thinking.

So in the past few days, he has been traveling and experiencing the customs and local cuisine of Jiangnan.

But he didn't stop to think about it.

He believed that Xia Huarong and others must have seen the development direction of Shanghai, and they were even holding a meeting to confirm the plan.

But this was just his guess.

After all, in the history of the original time and space, the large-scale development of Pudong took place after the 1990s. In the 1980s, the focus of Shanghai's development was still in Puxi.

Before this, Wang Duoyu had thought about coming to Shanghai to purchase some factory land or something for future use.

After all, there is no doubt that Shanghai is the financial center of the future.

No matter how well the Ice City develops, it will be difficult for it to replace Shanghai. After all, Shanghai's geographical location is really too advantageous.

The economic development of the entire Yangtze River Delta depends on Shanghai as the leading city, so it is unjust if Shanghai cannot develop.

In addition, companies like Youma Garment Factory will definitely build branches in Shanghai in the future and will also need to establish a large number of stores here.

So it’s not impossible to take over some land in advance.

After a moment's silence, Wang Duoyu finally spoke:
"Two leaders, honestly, I won't elaborate on Shanghai's development direction. You all understand these better than I do, including opening up to the outside world and attracting foreign investment, urban planning and infrastructure construction, industrial technological transformation and the development of emerging industries, market mechanisms, and economic system reform."

"It's not impossible to invest and build a factory in Shanghai, but for the time being, our Want Want Group doesn't have that many outstanding talents, so we..."

Want Want Group’s current development focus is definitely overseas, more precisely the United States and Japan.

Who made the United States and Japan the world's first and second largest economies?

Only these two countries are rich, and very rich, so to develop the economy they must go to these wealthy places.

There are actually many opportunities to make money in China, but the problem is that Wang Duoyu now looks down on these opportunities. It would be better to earn more foreign exchange than to spend so much time and effort to earn such a small amount of money.

It doesn't mean that Wang Duoyu doesn't need any management at all and can just sit back and collect money. Every time he has a meeting with Zheng Baoyin and others and gives them instructions, aren't they just taking advantage of his off-get off work time?
The development of Want Want Group to its current level is not only due to the hard work of Zheng Baoyin and others, but also due to the guidance and correction of development direction by Wang Duoyu.

Therefore, although Wang Duoyu wants land in Shanghai, at this stage he can only get the land but can't do anything else.

"Professor Wang, what kind of talent do you need? We have many universities in Shanghai, and we have quite a few graduates this year."

When Xia Huarong and Zhang Yuebin heard this, they were overjoyed and asked hurriedly.

It's just talent, and there are still quite a few of them in Shanghai. If the relevant units allocate one or two places to college students, then there will be a place.

Besides, it is not the 1981 and 1982 years anymore, so the tension for college students is not that high now.

The competition was fierce before, but it is much better now.

After all, there are limited positions in many units such as the municipal government, and it is impossible for there to be a shortage all the time.

Wang Duoyu was moved when he heard this.

In this case, he really asked for an exorbitant price this time.

If I don't accept this preferential treatment that comes right to my door, wouldn't Xia Huarong and the others be disappointed?
But Wang Duoyu never expected that Xia Huarong and the other two would actually provide hundreds of college student places.

With so many college students joining in, the development of Want Want Group will definitely reach a higher level.

However, how to make good use of these university student places requires careful consideration.

"Okay, thank you both leaders. Want Want Group can use a piece of land. Then please allocate a piece of land near Lujiazui in Pudong to us."

Lujiazui, Pudong?
Although this place is not a muddy land, it is also quite desolate. Why would Wang Duoyu want the land here?

Xia Huarong and the others were puzzled and quickly tried to sell it:
"Professor Wang, the city center of Shanghai is nearby, not in Pudong."

"No, although there are many people here, the area is not big enough. I don't want the land here. Pudong is better."

Wang Duoyu refused directly. Seeing that he was so determined, Xia Huarong and the others persuaded him for a while, and then he agreed.

Then he asked Wang Duoyu if he had any ideas about the development of Pudong?
"I don't have any ideas. Pudong is a vast expanse of desolate land, but Puxi is densely populated. Don't you think this is unreasonable?"

Zhang Yuebin and Xia Huarong were stunned.
