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

Chapter 252, July (asking for monthly ticket)
In July 1984, Harvard University in the United States was holding a graduation ceremony.

"Hua Jian, what are your plans after you graduate with your doctorate? How about coming back to Harbin Institute of Technology with me?"

Yang Deyong was wearing a doctoral gown and must have just finished taking photos. Coincidentally, Gao Huajian was also taking graduation photos nearby, so he came over to chat.

"We'll talk about it later. I've only just graduated with a master's degree, so it's still early."

Gao Huajian said with a smile, neither agreeing nor refusing, with a feeling of waiting for a good price.

However, Yang Deyong could also understand the other party. After all, Gao Huajian in front of him was only 21 years old and too young.

At the age of 21, he had already obtained a master's degree in engineering science from Harvard University. With such strength, he is undoubtedly a super genius.

Therefore, it was not just Yang Deyong who was recruiting the other party. Many scientific research institutions and universities in the United States also extended olive branches to Gao Huajian.

However, Gao Huajian did not agree to anything and did not offend anyone. In short, he had his own goal, which was to get a Ph.D. from Harvard University first.

"Okay, then we'll contact each other."

Yang Deyong smiled, turned and left.

After graduation season, many people who studied in the United States stayed, but many also chose to return to China, and Yang Deyong was one of the latter.

A few days later, on a passenger plane from the United States to Tokyo, Yang Deyong and several international students talked and imagined the future.

At this time, Ma Mingjiang, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly turned around and asked with a smile:

"Classmates, you are all international students in the United States, right?"

"Yes, sir, what can I do for you?"

"No, I just heard you talk about the development of Northern Airlines, and I do have a few different opinions."

Since they were on a plane, Yang Deyong and his friends inevitably talked about the domestic civil aviation industry. Among them, the most famous airline in the country in the past six months was China Northern Airlines.

The company had previously spent $737 million to purchase four 300 passenger aircraft and two Airbus As from Boeing and Airbus respectively.

And a few days ago, it seemed that there was a report in the United States that Northern Airlines spent another 747 million US dollars to purchase two Boeing passenger aircraft.

Such crazy behavior naturally caused dissatisfaction among many people. International students like Yang Deyong believed that Northern Airlines was arrogant because it was backed by Harbin Institute of Technology.

A total of 260 million US dollars was spent to purchase a total of eight aircraft. This is a joke.

Intellectuals like Yang Deyong have some understanding of how difficult it is to earn foreign exchange in China.

When we know that the country is in such a difficult situation, instead of purchasing technology or production equipment needed domestically, we purchase these flashy civil airliners. If this is not a waste of money, what is it?
"Oh, aren't we right? There aren't many people flying in China. Even if we buy a Boeing 747 to use as a cargo plane, it would be a waste of money. How can there be so much cargo that needs to be transported urgently?"

Yang Deyong asked confidently.

Ma Mingjiang smiled and shook his head, then said calmly:

"Actually, I had the same idea as you before, but you know nothing about the development of our country."

"If Professor Wang hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that our country is so vast and rich in resources. There are many products that we don't know about. You may not have heard of them, and I haven't heard of them either."

“But Professor Wang knows.”

The price of a Boeing 747 passenger aircraft is million US dollars, which is very expensive. To purchase such an aircraft, Nebula supercomputers are needed to replace it.

And the subsequent maintenance costs have not been calculated, so the actual cost is definitely far more than 80 million US dollars.

Whether it is used to transport passengers or cargo, how long will it take to recover the cost?

Based on the number of domestic civil aviation passengers, the Boeing 747 is bound to lose money, but what is it transporting?

Ma Mingjiang was not quite sure, but he knew that since Wang Duoyu was so confident and even Li Zhongxi, the leader of the Civil Aviation Administration, was convinced, there would naturally be no problem.

Besides, we can’t stop buying large passenger planes just because there are not many passengers, right?
Professor Wang said that these two large planes, one is used to transport passengers, and the other is used to transport passengers and cargo.

In short, Northern Airlines must open international routes. In addition to flying to Tokyo, it also needs flights to Europe and the United States.

I don't ask for a flight every day, but I hope there will be one every week or every few days.

"Where do all these tourists come from?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Deyong immediately frowned and retorted.

Ma Mingjiang was about to speak when Su Zongxi next to him suddenly interrupted:

"Have you heard of Huaxin Company?"

Nonsense, you must have heard of it!
Some time ago, the American business research company Nielsen announced the revenue data of Huaxin Company in June. The sales of PHS mobile phones alone reached 83,600 units in the United States, with revenue of 166 million US dollars.

Including the sales of 210,000 cordless telephones, Huaxin's monthly revenue exceeded 200 million US dollars, reaching 326 million US dollars.

The launch of the Xiaolingtong mobile phone also triggered a wave of hot sales of cordless phones, bringing its monthly revenue to 160 million US dollars.

There is no doubt that Huaxin’s revenue data is really going to explode.

"Okay, since you've heard of Huaxin, you've probably also heard of Azure, Huashun, Dolphin Games, Diaopai, and other companies, right?"

After hearing Su Zongxi's words, Yang Deyong and the others suddenly fell silent.

Because they thought of a lot of things. Yes, these are all subsidiaries of Harbin Institute of Technology, and these companies have so much business in the United States. It is conceivable that they must have many people who need to travel frequently between China and the United States.

Perhaps the establishment of Northern Airlines was also due to this?

After all, with so many companies, there is definitely a need for frequent communication. It was difficult to say anything before because we had no money, and things were not so open at that time.

But now, there are policy regulations for private cars, aviation business is also going to be opened up, and more industries are gradually relaxing restrictions.

Therefore, Harbin Institute of Technology must strengthen communication and exchanges with companies in developed countries in Europe and the United States.

So where do the passengers who buy these 747 aircraft come from?
Of course, people pay to buy something because they have a demand for it.

Seeing that they were silent, Su Zongxi smiled slightly and said:
"Also, you may not know that Yuma Clothing is also from our Ice City, right? And Professor Wang will probably hold a mathematics seminar in October of this year, and many mathematicians will come to our Ice City then."

Upon hearing this, Yang Deyong and the others were stunned.

Wang Duoyu is actually going to hold a mathematics lecture?
"When did Professor Wang say he was going to hold a math seminar?"

Su Zongxi and Ma Mingjiang laughed and informed Yang Deyong of their latest situation.

After returning to Harbin Institute of Technology in mid-May, Wang Duoyu has been in seclusion. In the past month, he has successfully derived the basic lemma of the Langlands program. He also produced the fourth and fifth papers on the geometric Langlands conjecture and submitted them to John Milnor and others for review.

At present, only people like John Milnor know about this matter, but as time goes by, the mathematics community must have heard about it.

This concerns the grand unified theory of mathematics, and no one ignores it, and no one dares to ignore it.

Whether it is the fundamental lemma or the geometric Langlands conjecture, these two mathematical research results are both huge breakthroughs for the global mathematics community.

It is almost conceivable that once the paper is published, the entire mathematics community will be shocked.

"What? Is this true?"

Yang Deyong and the others were stunned, and then they exclaimed that Professor Wang was awesome.

Not very good. Among them, either they have a master's degree or a doctorate. Although few of them are doctors or masters in mathematics, the science and engineering majors they studied are absolutely inseparable from mathematics.

Therefore, they are very familiar with the mathematics community, especially with the deeds of Wang Duoyu, which they know like the back of their hand.

Among them, Gu Jianguo, Wu Haitao, Qi Guopeng and others are masters of mathematics, and they have a clearer understanding of this.

Because I studied mathematics, I have a clearer understanding of the position of the mathematics emperor Wang Duoyu.

Unfortunately, Ma Mingjiang and the others were not very clear about the details, so Gu Jianguo and the others could not ask more detailed questions.

A group of them talked about this matter on the plane, and soon learned each other's identities.

When Yang Deyong and others learned that Ma Mingjiang and others worked for Northern Airlines, they suddenly realized that it was no wonder that they had wanted to refute them just now. It turned out that the two of them were from Northern Airlines.

"You two should be the leaders, right?"

If you are not a leader, how can you travel abroad?

They chatted all the way, and when they landed in Beijing, Ma Mingjiang and his friends had already made an appointment with Yang Deyong and others to meet on the campus of Harbin Institute of Technology.

Originally, Yang Deyong and his classmates planned to work at Harbin Institute of Technology after graduation, because Harbin Institute of Technology is the most promising university in China now.

Since they have achieved academic success, if they want to come back to serve their motherland, they will definitely go to Harbin Institute of Technology.

In early July, on the campus of Harbin Institute of Technology, Wang Duoyu was holding the little guy Wang Junan and walking on the road in front of his home, while Wang Junhong in front was taking small steps and running quickly.

After finishing his retreat, he gave himself a week-long vacation, and today is the third day.

Taking a vacation means taking the kids out for a walk and enjoying every day of leisure.

"Hello, Professor Wang!"

As they strolled along, Wang Duoyu and his friends arrived outside the villa area and entered the campus.

There are no obvious restrictions between the villa area and the campus, but there are security patrols at the gate, so ordinary students are not allowed to enter here.

Of course, students wouldn't come here if there was nothing going on.

So when Wang Duoyu walked out for a while, he saw a lot of students.

It is summer vacation at Harbin Institute of Technology in July, but the campus is not much different from usual.

Not many students will leave just because it is summer vacation. On the contrary, more students will come to Harbin Institute of Technology as exchange students.

"Hello!"

Wang Duoyu smiled and nodded. Seeing that he was smiling and seemed to be in a good mood, Mai Zili and the others immediately came forward happily and asked cautiously:
"Professor Wang, can we ask you a few questions?"

"No problem, just ask."

He had seen these students before him and still remembered their names. Among them, Mai Zili had taken his course in the second half of last year.

When taking the kids for a walk, Wang Duoyu was mentally prepared for the fact that students would chase him and ask him questions.

This is normal because as long as he is in school, such things are bound to happen.

Except when he was in seclusion before, he basically took the bus to go to and from get off work and rarely met students, so it was naturally impossible for him to be asked questions.

Just as he was answering questions from students like Mai Zili, two cars stopped not far away. Security Chief Yuan Zuliang took a look and lifted the alert.

First of all, any car that can enter Harbin Institute of Technology must be inspected, otherwise it will not be allowed in.

Secondly, these two cars are imported Bentleys with license plates containing several zeros, which clearly indicate they are owned by Want Want Group.

Nowadays, in the whole country, only Want Want Group has private cars, which are made up of multiple parts.

There are currently no such license plates for private cars in places like Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Beijing.

Wang Duoyu had previously discussed the issue of imported cars with the three giants of Ice City, and by July now, it had naturally been completed.

Whether it is a car or an airplane, they are actually just means of transportation, and their purpose is to better serve mankind.

Want Want Group contributes a lot of tax revenue to Bingcheng every year. After all, it is not a foreign company.

So it is normal to have preferential treatment in the automobile sector.

Finally, Yuan Zuliang saw Zheng Baoyin, Wei Ruolai, Wang Jianchao, Liang Shengzhi and others in the car. They were all executives of Want Want Group and were close confidants of Wang Duoyu.

So there's nothing to be wary of.

What we need to be wary of now are these students in front of us. We must not let them take advantage of any opportunity.

This doesn’t mean that students won’t hurt Wang Duoyu, but we still need to be careful.

After all, before the Spring Festival, Wang Duoyu was almost knocked down by his brother-in-law at the door of his house, so after that, at least one of Yuan Zuliang and others would be within half a meter of Wang Duoyu.

After a while, Mai Zili and the others finally finished asking questions and left satisfied.

Wang Duoyu also saw Zheng Baoyin and the others, so he called the little guy and went home together.

"Professor Wang is amazing! He solved a problem that had been bothering me for over a month in less than three minutes. I guess he didn't even think about it, did he?"

Mai Zili and the others discussed with each other on their way back.

There are six people in their group. Through his own efforts, Mai Zili was admitted to the master's program of Qiu Chengtong, the head of the Department of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology. He is undoubtedly the most capable one in their group.

The other three are Jiang Shoucheng, Qi Benan and Huang Yunlong, three students from Fudan University. All three of them have been admitted to the graduate school of Harbin Institute of Technology, but only Qi Benan was admitted to the Department of Mathematics. Jiang Shoucheng and Huang Yunlong were both transferred to the Department of Computer Science.

The other two are Li Damao and Kang Xiaolong from the Department of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology. The former was admitted to David Bryant Manford's master's program in the Department of Mathematics, while the latter was admitted to Gerd Faltings's graduate program.

It can also be seen from here that the faculty of the Department of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology is growing larger and larger.

Shing-Tung Yau and Gerd Faltings were the Fields Medal winners last July, while David Bryant Mumford won the Fields Medal in 1974.

It can almost be said that there are more than five Fields Medal winners in the Department of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology.

Because William Thurston is also in the Department of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology, and John Milnor, Charles Feefman, Daniel Gray, Joseph Cohen and others are also previous winners of the Fields Medal.

Adding Wang Duoyu's words and people like Smale from Harbin Institute of Technology who come from time to time, the number of Fields Medal winners has exceeded ten.

In addition, there are many top mathematicians who have mathematical skills at the level of the Fields Medal but have not yet won it, such as Andrew Wiles, Borchers, Yorks, Robert Langlands, Jean Bourgueil and others.

Especially Robert Langlands. Although his level does not seem to be up to the Fields Medal and he has never won this award, the Langlands Program he proposed is indeed quite awesome.

Although it is just proposed, it is completely different from deriving and proving the Langlands Program.

However, isn’t Wang Duoyu currently proving this program? The basic lemma and the geometric Langlands conjecture have been derived by Wang Duoyu, and it can almost be said that he has completed half of the Langlands program.

In other words, Robert Langlands will definitely leave a mark in the history of mathematics.

No matter how this program is named in the future, whenever it is mentioned, Robert Langlands' name will inevitably be mentioned.

For most mathematicians, fame and fortune are accessories in their pursuit of mathematical truth. They don’t care about and cannot care about what will happen after they die.

They only care about what contributions they can make to mathematics during their lifetime.

Especially when they get older, like Robert Langlands now, the reason why he has been staying in the Ice City and brought his students and some colleagues here is that he hopes to promote the further development of the Langlands Program during his lifetime.

The Department of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology is so awesome now that in the new year's graduate entrance examination, the number of applicants soared after the places were released.

It is certainly a very lucky thing for many students who want to pursue graduate studies that so many Fields Medal winners recruit master's students.

Mai Zili, Li Damao and Kang Xiaolong are both talented and capable, as well as lucky enough, so they were able to be admitted as master's students of the Fields Medal winners.

But it’s strange that they all have their own mentors, but they are still more willing to ask Wang Duoyu questions.

Perhaps this is what is called the shadow of a tree, the celebrity effect?
"Do you think Professor Wang will really hold a math seminar this October?"

"Who knows? It's such a complex paper, I can't understand it anyway. Oh, Old Mac, isn't your supervisor reviewing it? How long will it take?"

Hearing the question, Mai Zili shook his head and said:

"I haven't seen my advisor in almost two weeks. I didn't know anything about this and didn't dare ask. But this time, Professor Wang directly produced three papers. The paper on the fundamental lemma is over 300 pages long. Just reading it would take a long time."

If it were a 300-page novel, it would probably take only half a day to finish. But this wasn't just a paper; it required careful scrutiny and review. Even top mathematicians like Shing-Tung Yau wouldn't be able to finish it quickly, right?
Kang Xiaolong sighed when he heard this:

"It seems I really don't know. I also attended Professor Wang's class last year, but his lectures were really hard to understand, not to mention the lectures, which were only an hour or two long. How could he possibly explain them clearly and understandably?"

If they can understand clearly, they don’t need to worry about these things.

"Okay, stop talking, I'm dying of envy. Can you guys discuss something else?"

Jiang Shoucheng and Huang Yunlong, who were transferred to the Computer Science Department, were the most speechless, because from then on they parted ways with the basic theoretical research of mathematics.

Research on basic mathematical theories is cutting-edge science and tests the researcher's talent even more.

On the contrary, the Computer Department should be considered a type of applied mathematics. It cannot be said that it has no future. Anyway, I will not be able to talk to Mai Zili and others in the future.

Because they might not understand the topic that Mai Zili and the others were talking about.

Although Qi Benan is also a master's student in mathematics at the graduate school, he is naturally shorter than Mai Zili and others.

There is no way. His mentor is not a Fields Medal winner. Although he is also a full professor of mathematics, there is still a difference.

And it can be said that there is a world of difference.

Mai Zili, Li Damao, Kang Xiaolong and others looked at each other, smiled, and then did not continue talking about this topic.

On the other side, in the villa area, is Wang Duoyu’s home.

Zheng Baoyin and the others got out of the car and brought back a lot of gifts for Wang Junhong and the other little brats.

"Don't bully your sisters, do you hear me?" Wang Duoyu warned. The little guy responded immediately and took his two sisters back to the house.

Sisters Li Rongrong and Lu Yuening are almost one year old. Although they cannot walk yet, they can crawl very quickly.

As the older brother, Wang Junhong has taken the initiative to help take care of the children. The two younger sisters also like to play with their brother. The living room is a paradise for them to play.

Half-year-old Wang Junan also wanted to play together, but he could only stare blankly and cry most of the time, which made his older brother very willing to take him to play.

Because the two sisters Li Rongrong and Lu Yuening are very well-behaved and sensible, they rarely cry.

In the study, Wang Duoyu sat down and smiled as he asked Wei Ruolai and the others to sit down and chat, without having to be so formal.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Qu Haiping began to give a work report.

He is in charge of the mid-range women's clothing brand, Sibel, which was launched in mid-May and started its sales plan in eastern cities such as New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington.

Thirty-five stores were established in six important cities in the east, and renovation and employee training were carried out simultaneously, so sales started in mid-May.

Since it is only a mid-range clothing brand, there is some competition with Youma Clothing to a certain extent, but fortunately, the design style and target customer groups of Xibel Clothing are different.

Yuma clothing is more targeted at ordinary men and women and college students, which are the target customer groups. After all, its price is only thirty or forty US dollars, such as twenty-nine point nine and thirty-nine point nine.

Xibel clothing is aimed at urban white-collar workers, most of whom are young women who pursue fashion, and the unit price ranges from US$69 to US$99.

It is a little bit higher than Yuma clothing, but not much higher. After all, it is positioned as mid-range women's clothing.

From the time it went public in mid-May to the time Qu Haiping and his team left the United States in early July, a period of more than a month and a half, the company's 35 stores in six cities in the eastern United States had an average daily revenue of more than US$3,500 per store.

So the total revenue after one and a half months was US$5.5 million.

How should I put it? After spending a million dollars on advertising, this is the only result I got. It only shows that the clothing industry is not easy to make a living in.

All things are difficult at the beginning, and this beginning is already very good.

After Qu Haiping finished his report, Wang Duoyu encouraged him:
"Great! Xibeier Clothing is just getting started. Don't directly target Youma Clothing. Although you are both mid-range clothing brands, Youma is mid-to-low-end, while Xibeier is the true mid-range, and your customer base is also different."

"So you need to target this group of ordinary urban white-collar workers and manage them well."

"At the same time, you also need to pay attention to the changes in the body shapes of young American women and not just be overly obsessed with fashion."

The reason why Wang Duoyu emphasized this point is that fast food culture is now very popular in the United States, and food giants have almost divided up all the land.

On the other hand, corn syrup has also been used in the fast food industry, food processing industry, etc. in the United States, so we really have to be vigilant in this regard.

Don’t let the time come when young and fashionable white-collar workers in the United States quickly gain weight, but Hibel clothing still sticks to the previous sizes, that would be funny.

"Okay, Professor Wang, I understand. I'll keep an eye on it."

Qu Haiping nodded repeatedly to show that he understood clearly.

Next up was Wei Ruolai, who was in charge of the sports brand Yuebu, which currently only produces running clothes and shoes.

In other words, the more important product is shoes.

Adidas has a series of Trefoil shoes, while the Yuebu brand has specifically brought out similar-looking sports shoes such as shell toe shoes, Playboy shoes, and Trefoil sneakers.

Shoes, in fact, are all similar.

In terms of shoe design, it will be more fashionable, youthful and sporty, and the quality and breathability of the shoes will be clearly emphasized. Sales will also be well trained, appearing more professional and providing better service.

The Yuebu sports brand also opened stores in cities on the East Coast of the United States, but it directly invested in fifty stores.

Since the brand is competing with high-end sports brands like Adidas, the prices of the shoes range from US$39 to US$100.

Ordinary shoes are, of course, cheaper, but thirty-nine dollars a pair is still quite expensive.

Some designs are more beautiful, and some are even custom-made sneakers, or the same styles as celebrities, with a unit price of ninety-nine or one hundred and nine.

In addition, Yuebu directly found several basketball stars in the United States to be brand spokespersons, and also gave Michael Jordan, the basketball player who was picked third in this year's NBA draft, an endorsement worth five million US dollars, with a contract period of eight years.

In fact, Yuebu wanted to sign a longer contract, but Michael Jordan's agent was not happy. After negotiations, they finally agreed to a contract of eight years and five million US dollars.

In the history of the original time and space, at this point in 1984, Nike offered Jordan a five-year sneaker endorsement contract with an annual salary of up to $500,000.

Because Jordan was selected by the Bulls, his salary in his rookie year was only $550,000.

At that time, Nike directly gave Jordan three conditions, each one more demanding than the last.

The first is that before his basketball career, Jordan must meet at least one of the three conditions before the contract can continue.

The first is the Rookie of the Year trophy, the second is to be selected into the All-Star team, and the third is to average 20 points per game for a season.

If this is not possible, Nike can terminate the contract at any time.

In addition, Jordan's shoe sales exceeded four million in the first three years, so his contract can be continued.

But in fact, Michael Jordan played all 28.2 games in his rookie season, averaging an exaggerated 6.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and steals per game.

He won the Rookie of the Year trophy, became an All-Star starter, and averaged well over 20 points per game.

In this time and space, Yuebu will of course set such a goal, but it will not threaten to terminate the contract. Instead, after achieving such results, the contract amount will increase.

Cooperate for win-win results, not engage in thieving behavior.

Therefore, in the past half month, the average daily revenue of each Yuebu store has exceeded 7,800 US dollars. Such a result is undoubtedly quite exaggerated.

But this is normal, because these stores are all located in the richest cities in the east, and the unit price is not cheap, and the advertising investment is also considerable.

As a result, after a month and a half, Yuebu brand's revenue exceeded 17.5 million US dollars.

The revenue is high and the advertising investment is not low, so it is normal.

Next is the clothing brand Muscle Shark, which is managed by Liang Shengzhi.

This brand is relatively unremarkable because its products are aimed at consumers such as gyms and bodybuilders, and it sells tight-fitting sportswear and shoes.

So there is not much in terms of revenue, so let’s not mention it.

Wang Duoyu was not too disappointed, but encouraged the other party to keep working hard and be patient.

Next is the mid-to-high-end clothing brand that Wang Jianchao is responsible for: Pandora.

As a mid-to-high-end men's and women's clothing brand, it pays more attention to service experience and product quality, so Wang Jianchao has put a lot of effort into employee selection and training.

The employees specifically look for models with very low incomes. These models have great figures, can hold their clothes well, and have excellent images and temperament.

Only after further training can they be allowed to start work.

With high salaries, there is no need to worry about retaining employees.

The sales pitch is like a sow putting on a bra, one set after another.

Coupled with sincerity and a very good sense of service, the success rate of sales will naturally be much higher.

Pandora's clothing is priced at more than $500 and is only sold to wealthy people.

Moreover, Pandora clothing brand stores are membership-based. If you are not a member, you cannot buy clothes.

Yes, very dignified!

To become a member, you must spend more than $10,000 in the store.

In the entire United States, there are currently only stores in major cities such as New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Philadelphia, and Boston, and there are only twelve stores in total.

Of course, although there are few stores, on average, the daily revenue of each store exceeds US$40,000, reaching US$46,000.

Simply put, each store only needs 4.6 people to open membership cards every day.

So even so, in the past month and a half, Pandora has also earned US$24.84 million in revenue.

"So everyone sees this, right? We still have to run high-end brands. Only in this way can we make big money."

After listening to this, Wang Duoyu said with a smile.

Zheng Baoyin and others nodded repeatedly to show their agreement.

Liang Shengzhi particularly agreed with this, so he couldn't help but ask:
"Professor Wang, if that's the case, then why do we still need the Muscle Shark sports brand? The brand I'm in charge of right now isn't very profitable."

Wang Jianchao, Wei Ruolai, Qu Haiping and others were also very puzzled by this. Wang Duoyu smiled when he heard this.
"Guess when the Muscle Shark brand will be able to make a lot of money?"

Of course they don't know and can't guess.

After all, there are only a few customer groups and their consumption levels are just that.

Suddenly, Zheng Baoyin suddenly said:

"Uncle, isn't it because of those obesity problems you just mentioned?"

Wang Duoyu heard this and nodded in praise:
"Yes, you are still very good at thinking. Yes, it is based on this consideration."

"Perhaps you haven't noticed, but you will soon realize that the obesity problem in the United States will gradually become more serious. When that happens, we only need to give some simple guidance to the media, and then Muscle Shark's business will definitely pick up quickly."

"This part of the market is not so easy to do. It takes time to settle and accumulate. So it will not become a fortune overnight like Pandora and other brands."

"Of course, our investment won't be too much. In the early stages, we won't make a lot of money. We just want to maintain a balance and still make some pocket money. It's that simple."

The economic development of the entire United States has actually roughly determined this point.

The current situation of the entire United States is above capital, and it cannot be changed.

A large amount of resources are concentrated in the hands of a small number of people, so how the country develops is decided only by these capitalist tycoons.

As for capitalists, they only see profits and nothing else.

For example, food giants like Bunge only care about profits. After they take over the technology of corn syrup, they keep increasing the amount for Americans.

So those fast food restaurants like KFC, McDonald's, as well as supermarkets and department stores, are full of added sweets.

Obesity is definitely a topic that cannot be avoided.

Zheng Baoyin and others nodded repeatedly, sharing the same sentiment.

They have been staying in the United States for some time and are very familiar with the local situation.

It is indeed as Wang Duoyu said, more and more Americans are becoming obese, and what is even more frightening is that everyone seems to be very accepting of obesity.

If Wang Duoyu and Zheng Baoyin had not repeatedly emphasized that obesity is actually a disease, not a blessing, they would never have believed it.

You know, at this time in the country, everyone wishes they were fat.

Walking on the street, looking around, it would be a miracle if you could find a fat person among a hundred people.

Fat people in today's China are no different from rare protected animals and are very rare.

On the contrary, thin people are everywhere.

Even Zheng Baoyin and his friends only looked fat, but their BMI index actually did not exceed 26. They could only be considered overweight, but not obese.

People with an index over 30 are obese.

"For your future development in the United States, proceed according to the current model. However, the relevant management personnel must also be promoted. If any problems arise, they can be resolved on the spot."

"If you are unsure about something, you can discuss it with each other. After all, you are all in the United States."

"If there are truly outstanding executives you think are worth developing, you can bring them back to China at the end of the year and have them attend our annual meeting to enhance their connection with the company and strengthen cohesion."

Hearing Wang Duoyu's words, Zheng Baoyin and others responded in unison.

Business management is a profound subject that you can learn throughout your life.

Being too rigid and inflexible is definitely not the right approach; it needs to be applied flexibly.

Wang Duoyu was more confident in them. After all, they were all selected by Wang Duoyu. There were not so many rules and regulations, so they would be able to handle things more easily.

They chatted for a while about some customs and practices in the United States, as well as topics such as how to handle the relationship between superiors and subordinates. It was not until the sound of dinner being served came from outside the door that Wang Duoyu and the others got up and walked out of the study.

Now when Zheng Baoyin and others come back, Wang Duoyu's house always becomes very lively.

If they didn't come back, Wang's relatives would actually come once or twice a week and have dinner at Wang Duoyu's house.

This has become a routine.
