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

Chapter 254: A cornered dog will do something desperate!
In late July 1984, in a luxurious conference room at Toshiba Corporation in Kyoto, Japan, a group of senior executives were holding a high-level management meeting.

"Everyone, I've got the latest report from Nielsen Business Research. It shows that Huashun's revenue reached $205 million in the first half of July."

The president of Toshiba Corporation gestured to the secretary beside him, who immediately spoke in a deep voice.

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present changed. Among them, Yokogawa Kenjin's expression suddenly became extremely ugly, as if he had swallowed a fly that had just eaten shit, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

"Bakayarō, this is impossible! This is fake data. Nelson and the others must have made a mistake!"

Yokogawa Jianren cursed loudly, and all the executives in the conference room fell silent.

Of course they also hope that this is fake data, but is it possible?

In the first half of July, Huashun Company's revenue exceeded 200 million US dollars.

So it can almost be guessed that they will be able to get at least more than 100 million or even 200 million in revenue in the next half month.

If this is true, then Huashun Company's revenue in July must have exceeded 400 million US dollars.

However, their revenue in June was only 237 million US dollars. How come it suddenly skyrocketed so much in July?

Could it be that, as Yokogawa Kenjin said, the data from Nielsen Research Company is wrong?

"Baga, shut up, you disgraceful bastard!" Upon hearing this, the president of Toshiba became furious and yelled at Yokokawa Kenjin.

The latter did not shut up, but said excitedly:

"President, this is obviously fake. How could Huashun Company have earned $200 million in revenue in just two weeks? Did they start a money printing press?"

A group of executives: I guess the bank’s printing presses aren’t that fast?
Two hundred million US dollars in half a month is incredible, but Nielsen Business Research Company cannot joke about their company's reputation.

You have to know that Toshiba spent 285,000 US dollars on this report, which is not cheap at all.

"Baga, do you really need to question this? Are we all fools?"

The president of Toshiba was furious and threw the teacup on the table directly at Yokogawa Kenjin.

The teacup hit the latter accurately. The opponent used his arm to block it, but failed. The teacup still broke because it was porcelain and would break at the slightest touch.

Of course, it might be because Yokogawa Mihito’s forehead is very hard, otherwise it wouldn’t have broken like this.

The porcelain teacup broke, and the fragments cut Yokogawa Kenjin's forehead. Blood instantly gushed out, which was quite scary to see.

"You still dare to block me? Baka!"

The president of Toshiba became even angrier when he saw this scene, and he picked up the teacup of the vice president next to him and threw it at him.

Even though it was horrifying to see the other person's face covered in blood, the president still wasn't satisfied.

"Get out, get out!"

The angry president waved his hand, and Yokogawa Jianren immediately ignored the pain and quickly bowed and ran away.

If I don't run away, I might die in the conference room.

Each of the executives in front of him is more powerful than him, and the president is at the pinnacle of power, so he, a vice president, is nothing.

After Yokogawa Jianren left the meeting room, the president said in a deep voice:
"This is the current situation. Everyone, let's discuss how Toshiba should handle this situation. If we don't come up with a solution by today, then no one will be able to leave this meeting room. Once a solution is reached, we can leave."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the executives all changed and they couldn't help cursing in their hearts.

In addition to scolding the president, he also scolded Yokogawa Kenjin.

Because if it weren't for that bastard Yokogawa Mihito, their Toshiba company wouldn't be so passive, and everyone wouldn't be forced to the wall by the president with no way to retreat.

Even though there is no way to retreat, there is no need to retreat anymore.

The problem is that Huashun Company is not that easy to bully at all. What can they do?
We can only discuss it again and again to see if there is any other solution.

Compared with the gloomy situation at Toshiba, Huashun Company on the other side was extremely happy.

July is almost over, so it shouldn't be a problem to break through $400 million in monthly revenue.

Last year, their company's total annual revenue was only US$1.579 billion, but the situation this year is different.

Although they only earned 230 million US dollars in the first quarter, which is less than the monthly revenue in June, what about now?
In April, it was just over 90 million US dollars, in May and June it was 150 million US dollars and 237 million US dollars respectively, and in July it was about to break 400 million US dollars.

Adding all together, the revenue for the seven months of the year was US$1.107 billion.

So this year's revenue will be more than last year's, that's a foregone conclusion.

It is even possible that due to the technical patent infringement case of the GT series memory products, Huashun Company may see its revenue explode again in the next five months.

"Where are we going to have fun tonight?"

Seeing that it was getting late, Omura Yuro stood up and asked his colleague next to him.

Huashun Company does not have a culture of overtime, but many employees in Japan "voluntarily" work overtime because the salary is high.

For example, Omura Yuyoshi, who had previously helped Huashun Company poach Dr. Fujio and his team, was directly rewarded with 2.5 million yen by the head office.

Converted into US dollars, this amount is actually about 10,000, which is not much.

However, for Omura Yuyoshi, it was already a huge amount of money.

So these days, whenever he has time, he would go to Shinjuku for a stroll.

"No, the life of partying every night is not suitable for me, and my wallet is tight."

"I invite you!"

"Let's go, let's go now!"

So, Omura Yuro and his friends immediately left the company and headed to Shinjuku.

Tomorrow is the weekend, and I don’t have to go to work, so of course I can spend as much time as I want.

After arriving in Shinjuku, the neon lights are flashing and the air is filled with the smell of temptation.

Omura Yuliang and the others were immediately attracted by her and were completely bewitched.

Two hours later, after they finished enjoying the service, they asked for extra time to continue having sex to prove that they were very good.

As the saying goes, love starts with the bell, and it is hard to calm down when the bell stops. Even if there is a desire to leave, adding more bells will ease the sadness.

As a result, at this moment, someone suddenly broke in and forcibly interrupted their overtime service.

More than half an hour later, Omura Yuliang was taken to a small dark room. Before he could say a word, he was beaten up.

"Fuck!"

Omura Yura was so angry that he could no longer speak his native language and instead started cursing in Mandarin.

"Tell me quickly, where did Dr. Fujio go?"

It was not until a while later that Omura Yuyoshi, who was already dizzy and dazed by the beating, heard a voice asking.

"Bah, don't say I don't know. Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you."

At this moment, Omura Yuyoshi was extremely loyal and did not mention this matter.

Omura Yuro really didn't know where Dr. Fujio had gone, because he didn't tell anyone when he left.

According to the senior management of Huashun Company's Japanese branch, Dr. Fujio and his colleagues have already gone to the United States to work.

But Omura Yuliang would not say it, because if he did, it would probably bring trouble to Huashun Company.

If he chooses to be loyal, Huashun Company will probably give him a lot of rewards after knowing it.

After all, such loyal employees are role models for other Japanese employees, and Huashun Company needs such role models.

Ha ha!

With a sneer, Omura Yuliang immediately suffered the most painful torture in his life. He had never been to the Eighteen Levels of Hell, but in his opinion, the torture he was experiencing now should be the torture for those people in the Eighteen Levels of Hell, right?
After only holding on for less than five minutes, Omura Yuryo surrendered.

It's not that he doesn't want to be loyal, but that he can't.

"Bah, you bastard, couldn't you have said it earlier?"

After obtaining the specific information, the group disappeared into the darkness.

Half an hour later, a vice president in charge of this mission at Toshiba's headquarters in Kyoto finally learned that Dr. Fujio and his team had gone to the United States.

"Take action immediately and don't let Huashun Company react!"

After learning the specific situation, Toshiba did not delay at all and took action immediately.

Dr. Fujio and his team probably went to Huashun Company's US headquarters, so it shouldn't be difficult to find them.

In fact, they had thought about using such means before, but at that time they thought they could win the lawsuit and that Toshiba would definitely win.

But I didn't expect to lose.

In the current situation, they can't afford to lose and don't want to talk about it anymore, so they have to take action immediately. They must reverse the current situation and completely turn this matter around.

The solution Toshiba came up with was to promise Fujio and others huge profits and important positions to get them to return to Toshiba, and then turn the lawsuit around.

Unfortunately, when the Toshiba people came to the United States, they searched for several days but didn't find a single hair.

Omura Yuyoshi had been missing for several days and had not appeared at Huashun Company, so the police had already been notified.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has "dispatched" police to search, but with little success.

In Bingcheng, Niu Ruishan and his team already knew about this matter, so they took it very seriously.

Toshiba has become desperate and is likely to take other more extreme actions. Therefore, for safety reasons, we need to provide stricter protection and information blockade against Fujio and others.

Anyway, as for some news about Japan, there must be a "filtering" system to filter out some of the information before Fujio and others can know it.

Especially things about Toshiba, they must not be allowed to know.

Of course, it is inevitable to find Omura Yuro and others. It would definitely be difficult to rely on people from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to find them, but it would be much easier to find them through Toshiba.

Wang Duoyu didn't know about this.

Business competition is always surrounded by invisible smoke, but it is definitely not calm.

Laboratory Building No. 6, inside the Nebula Supercomputing Project Laboratory.

The first test of the 10-billion-yuan supercomputer has ended, and the result is barely qualified, because Wang Duoyu has very high requirements, but there are still some minor flaws in the entire testing process.

For example, in an Internet network with several nodes, the transmission speed is still a little slow.

In order to solve the Internet speed limit problem as much as possible, Wang Duoyu and his colleagues pondered for a long time and brainstormed for a while before finally coming up with a solution.

Ci Yungui's team currently has more than a hundred people involved in research and development, and the rest have been dispatched to carry out production tasks.

Therefore, there are not many actual R&D personnel in this laboratory building.

Overall, preparations for the second round of supercomputing tests have been completed.

Solutions and optimization plans have been put forward for all the problems encountered in the first round of testing. Two days later, after repeated inspections, the second round of testing will be launched again.

After walking out of the laboratory building, Wang Duoyu went to the Nebula supercomputer production workshop.

"Old Song, how are you? Are you used to it?"

When Song Xinwen saw that it was Wang Duoyu, he nodded happily:
"Professor, I'm fine. I'm used to it. But here in the production department, as you know, it's still a bit boring."

For Song Xinwen, staying in the production department really feels like a year.

But he had no choice, because if he didn't come, no one would come.

Pang Dianchen is actually able to come, but he won’t come because the software department he is in charge of really cannot do without him.

On the contrary, Ci Yungui can replace Song Xinwen in the hardware department that he is in charge of.

Wang Duoyu told him that as long as he helped complete the production task, the subsequent production tasks would be left to his current deputy to help.

On the other hand, the 10 billion supercomputer project has reached the most critical stage, and the same is true for the production department, so both sides cannot be ignored and both require people.

Especially the production department. Previously, the production task was only 180 units, but later it increased a lot. In the past few days, it has exceeded 200 units.

The main reason is that the San Diego Supercomputing Center had done something very disgusting before, and then it was discovered by Wang Duoyu.

Well, more and more units and institutions not only did not ask for a refund of the deposit, but instead placed a few more orders.

"Okay, that's fine. Thank you for your hard work. We must keep a close eye on it. The quality of our products must be up to standard and must be strong enough."

Wang Duoyu patted the other person's shoulder and spoke earnestly.

Song Xinwen nodded solemnly and patted his chest to give a guarantee.

What happened before is still fresh in his mind, of course he will not forget it.

People in the United States are always so arrogant and full of prejudice, so if we want to change the status quo, we must prove it with our strength.

"By the way, Professor, we lent so much money to Northern Airlines. When can we get it back?"

Hearing Song Xinwen's words, Wang Duoyu was stunned for a moment and shook his head:
"We're not in a rush to spend money on this project, so we'll take our time. You don't need to worry about this. Just supervise the production tasks. Once the 10 billion supercomputer is developed, we'll start the 100 billion supercomputer project."

He didn't say that Song Xinwen was just a person who didn't care about anything.

Because this is human nature.

After Wang Duoyu resolved the incident that occurred at the San Diego Supercomputing Center, he forced the other party to pay 100 million US dollars in compensation.

Wang Duoyu gave this money to Northern Airlines, and also took 60 million from the Nebula supercomputing project. Together with the previous 100 million US dollars, a total of 260 million US dollars was given to Northern Airlines.

After all, Northern Airlines has no foreign exchange and is a newly established company. It is better not to rely on the Civil Aviation Administration.

The reason why Wang Duoyu purchased aircraft from Boeing and Airbus was not just for Air China or for his own travel convenience.

It is because of the actual needs and the company Pioneer Technology.

Domestic civil airliners need to develop, which certainly requires funds, technology and talents.

For Harbin Institute of Technology, there is no shortage of funds, and it can also cultivate talents on its own, but when it comes to technology, it can only rely on itself.

It is impossible to rely on Wang Duoyu. He may be able to help with aircraft design, but he definitely can't help with other aspects.

Otherwise, he would have built the Mach 5 fighter jet himself.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, in Laboratory Building No. 6.

The second round of testing officially began.

Although the 10-billion-yuan supercomputing project has only been going on for a year and a half, for Wang Duoyu, apart from the Mach 5 fighter jet, the Nebula supercomputing project is already quite a long one.

After all, he is extremely fast in theoretical research projects in basic mathematics.

"Professor Wang, we are ready."

When all departments had completed their preparations, Wang Duoyu personally gave the order to officially start the second round of testing.

"start!"

After starting, Wang Duoyu stared closely at the monitor he applied for.

In order to see the progress of the test more intuitively, Ci Yungui and other department heads have a display.

There are many monitors in front of Wang Duoyu because they are all aggregated data connections.

Unlike others, Wang Duoyu needed to know the entire situation, so he had so many monitors in front of him. Of course, this would not reduce the efficiency of data transmission on the Internet, because these were just monitors.

The communication optical fiber currently used by the Nebula supercomputer is the latest product developed by Harbin Institute of Technology. The optical signal transmission efficiency is very good, which is also one of the reasons for the success of the 10 billion supercomputer project.

Supercomputers have very high requirements for the material of communication optical fibers. For example, the optical fibers currently used are made of high-purity silica glass.

This material has high transparency, low loss and excellent light transmission properties, making it an ideal choice for fiber optic communications.

It is well known that the purity and uniformity of silica glass have a crucial impact on the performance of light, so the impurities and defects of the material need to be strictly controlled during the manufacturing process.

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Harbin Institute of Technology is one of the several major departments in the school, and its professorial team is the strongest among the departments except the Department of Mathematics.

Therefore, the department also has many scientific research projects.

Over time, various test items, such as the conventional test method of linear equations, as well as high-performance benchmark tests, standard performance evaluation tests, memory bandwidth performance tests, etc., have all been tested.

After seeing the data results, Pang Dianchen, Niu Xisheng, Lu Xuemin and others cheered. Shen Qingxiang, Bao Yuhang and other former researchers of the Galaxy Supercomputing Project also smiled happily, and some even jumped up excitedly.

Even Ci Yungui couldn't help but smile.

To be honest, he is the person with the most pressure, because he has been under tremendous pressure since he came to Harbin Institute of Technology.

To be precise, the failure of the Galaxy supercomputer was not his fault, but who could blame him for being born at the wrong time?
If you are not as skilled as others, you have to admit it!
Fortunately, Ci Yungui saw through this, so he didn't care and was willing to bear the consequences.

After coming to Harbin Institute of Technology, he worked hard to study technology and was indeed inspired. He learned a lot about the technologies related to large-scale parallel processors, such as many engines, algorithms, etc.

Under immense pressure, I persevered for more than half a year, and finally the clouds cleared and the moon appeared.

At this moment, he was smiling, but when his eyes swept over Wang Duoyu, he saw that the latter was frowning, and his smile instantly disappeared.

"Professor Wang, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Wang Duoyu was lost in thought. When he heard the voice, he looked up at the other party and nodded.

"Yes, Professor Ci, you should still remember the Kuafu engine system I mentioned to you before, right?"

In order to better develop the Nebula supercomputer project, Wang Duoyu designed several engines for this supercomputer, such as the Kuafu engine, which is only responsible for computing and not storage.

In addition, there is the Nuwa engine, which is responsible for both calculation and storage.

Of course, under these two types of engines, there are other subdivided engine technologies. Among them, the Nuwa system in the first-generation Nuwa engine is used in the Three Billion Nebula supercomputer and will also be used in Powerbook laptops.

Ci Yungui heard this and nodded:

"Professor Wang wants to test it with the Kuafu engine?"

"Ok!"

Of course, Wang Duoyu really wants to test it.

The system currently in use is the seventh version of the Nuwa engine, which is a big data analysis engine and a massive distributed storage system.

Its design goal is to support high-scale, highly available, and scalable storage clusters. Compared with other systems, the massive distributed storage system has similar performance and linear scalability, and has better availability and a more friendly graphical user management interface.

This also means two things: First, read and write access to the system is possible at any time, including in the event of a system outage, hard drive damage, system upgrade, maintenance shutdown, cluster expansion, and other situations.

Second, data is stored reliably and will not be lost under any circumstances.

In addition to this one, there are several other engine systems, but what Wang Duoyu wants to test now is the Kuafu engine.

Because the third version of the Kuafu engine uses a query engine with a large-scale parallel processing architecture, it does not store any data itself and directly uses memory for calculations, taking into account the data warehouse. It has the advantages of real-time, batch processing, and multi-concurrency.

In order to realize this engine, Wang Duoyu asked 56 students from the Department of Information Science and Engineering to spend an entire semester (limited to two days on weekends) to help him complete the programming work of this engine part-time.

Because it provides a structured query syntax, it also has high response speed and throughput in multi-user scenarios.

Since Wang Duoyu wants to test it, let’s arrange it!
But it is not easy to complete the test. It takes time and it is definitely not possible in these two days.

After instructing Pang Dianchen to complete the follow-up work, Wang Duoyu walked out of Laboratory Building No. 6.

"Professor, the secretary wants to see you."

"okay!"

Meeting Su Zhenghuai head-on, Wang Duoyu nodded and walked towards the administrative building.

On the way, Wang Duoyu suddenly saw several foreigners wearing cloth on their heads, and was stunned.

Aren’t these the rich people from the Middle East? Why are they coming here?

Harbin Institute of Technology is not an ordinary school. Rich people from the Middle East should not come here.

He was just surprised, but didn't take it to heart.

When Wang Duoyu walked into the secretary's office, he saw Liu Deben, Lu Gongliang, and Niu Ruishan.

What happened again?
After the pleasantries, Wang Duoyu realized that something strange had happened at Toshiba again.

There is a saying that the business world is like a battlefield, and it is true.

In order to turn the situation around, Toshiba has indeed begun to use some unacceptable means.

Omura Yuyoshi is an employee of the Japanese branch of Huashun Company. Unexpectedly, he has been missing for many days.

Normally, no one would care too much about the disappearance of such an employee, but the problem was that it was this person who persuaded Dr. Fujio to leave Toshiba.

To say that Omura Yuro is very important is not entirely true, but if he is not important at all, then it is definitely not true.

"Well, we guessed it before, so now we need to find someone to hide Dr. Fujio and his team. At the same time, we need to urge the Japanese court to end this lawsuit once and for all."

Wang Duoyu nodded silently. There was not much he could do.

Niu Ruishan asked if there was a better solution. After all, Toshiba might become desperate and do something else.

"No one can guarantee it. We can only deal with it as it comes. There is no way to prevent this in advance." Wang Duoyu shook his head.

He is not a god, so how can he make others do things according to his ideas?

How strange!
It seems that Lao Niu and the others are too idealistic, thinking that Wang Duoyu is full of wisdom and can find a good solution to any problem.

After chatting for a while, Niu Ruishan got up and left.

Wang Duoyu suddenly became curious and asked about those wealthy people from the Middle East with cloth on their heads. What do these people want to do here?
Lu Gongliang immediately smiled and said:

"He came here to purchase Nebula supercomputers, as well as other equipment like lithography machines. We don't know where he got the news from, but he came to Harbin Institute of Technology to seek cooperation."

No one would dislike a customer who gives money like this.

This time, the wealthy people in the Middle East directly sent orders for five Nebula supercomputers and seven lithography machines, as well as quite a few other scattered orders.

"Well, they are all good people," Wang Duoyu nodded in praise, and Liu Deben said:
"That's true, but their place is also very sad. They have huge oil reserves, but the surface is all desert, accounting for more than 90% of the entire land area."

sorrow?

Wang Duoyu's expression suddenly became strange.

The people in the Saudi Empire are so rich, aren't they?
Not only is there abundant oil underground, but the key is that they also have a large number of gold mines, which have not been discovered yet.

In the future, when seawater desalination technology becomes more mature, especially when desert greening planting technology matures, it is not impossible for the entire Saudi Arabia to be transformed from a vast desert into an oasis.

After all, these people all have nothing but cloth on their heads, and I am the richest person in the world!
If you have money, you can buy any technology, equipment, seeds, etc.

So even though the other person is indeed pitiful, he is actually very lucky.

After chatting for a while, Wang Duoyu took this opportunity to say:

"Secretary, Principal, I need to go to Yunnan in half a month, so I want to let you know in advance."

Going to Yunnan?
Liu Deben and Lu Gongliang looked at each other in surprise.

It will be August in two days. Why go to Yunnan at this time?
Suddenly, Lu Gongliang thought of something and asked with wide eyes:

"Could it be that the goods you mentioned earlier that needed to be urgently shipped abroad are in Yunnan? Are you going there this time to take a look ahead of time? I remember there seemed to be a lot of wild animals and plants in Yunnan. What exactly are you talking about?"

"Oh, has the principal been to Yunnan before?" Wang Duoyu asked with raised eyebrows in surprise.

Lu Gongliang chuckled and nodded:
“Yes, I’ve been there before.”

Go to the countryside!

Although Lu Gongliang was a professor in the Department of Mathematics and Mechanics at Peking University, he actually went to Yunnan to experience rural life for a few years.

Yunnan gave him the feeling that it was spring all year round.

A hero never brags about his past achievements, and what’s more, it wasn’t bravery that mattered, but hardship and fatigue.

When mentioning this, Liu Deben also felt the same way.

Although he has never really been to the countryside, he has indeed been to the mountains. After all, he was a child from the mountains before, and it took him a lot of effort to slowly get to his current position.

We all come from that era, so there’s not much to talk about in the past, but there are some things we can still talk about.

Wang Duoyu originally came from the countryside. There were educated youth like him in Dahonggou Village before, so naturally he knew a lot.

After a brief chat about these things, Wang Duoyu asked with a smile:
"Principal, do you remember any special delicacies in Yunnan?"

"Oh, you mean food? What kind of food? Fruits? Vegetables? Medicinal herbs?"

Seeing that Wang Duoyu kept shaking his head, Lu Gongliang simply gave up guessing and asked the former to reveal the answer quickly.

"Principal, you've probably heard of the common shiitake mushrooms in rural Yunnan, right? No? What about the shiitake mushrooms? What about the peeling mushrooms? What about the pine mushrooms?"

"Yes, I've heard of pine mushrooms. They're quite delicious. There are quite a few in the mountains of Shangri-La. I've eaten them a few times and they still have a great aftertaste. They also have many other mushrooms over there, such as Acanthopanax, and they're all very delicious."

When mentioning the pine mushroom, Lu Gongliang immediately started drooling, because he still remembers it vividly after eating it.

Wang Duoyu nodded and said:

"Yes, I want to go there and see this kind of mushroom. When I went to Warsaw before, I talked to several Spanish professors. They really like this kind of mushroom, and it's sold at a very high price there."

"It's quite a coincidence that when I went to Shanghai last time, I happened to meet some people from Yunnan. They brought some dried mushrooms, which I tasted and found to be very fresh and sweet. Then I heard them talk about it."

"I was wondering at the time, is this pine mushroom the same species as the ones I heard about in Warsaw?"

Because the appearance, shape and taste are the same, the similarity is very high, only the name is different.

After hearing this, Lü Gongliang was eager to try: "How about we go together? I haven't been to Yunnan in a long time, and I've always wanted to find an opportunity to go there."

"But I've never had the chance. It would be great if I could take this opportunity to go to Yunnan and taste their Yunnan fruit again. I remember it was picked this season, right?"

The picking season for Matsutake is from June to August every year. However, Shangri-La is located in the mountains above 3,000 meters above sea level. Because of the high altitude, the best picking time is from July to October.

Moreover, Matsutake forms a symbiotic relationship with the roots of pine trees. Its growth process is very slow and it has strict requirements on environmental conditions. Factors such as temperature, humidity, and insect damage may affect its growth.

In addition, the golden picking period for Matsutake is only three days, so it is actually quite difficult to pick them.

Wang Duoyu nodded and said:

"That's right. Those Yunnan comrades told me before that pine mushrooms usually grow in July, August, September and October each year, but they're not exactly sure. So, if I go there in mid-August, there shouldn't be any big problems."

After all, the growing conditions of Matsutake are harsh, and the climate environment in Yunnan is also affected by many factors. Sometimes it grows earlier, and sometimes it grows later.

In his previous life, Wang Duoyu attended dinner parties with several friends in Beijing and had eaten matsutake mushrooms produced in Yunnan several times. They were indeed very delicious, but also quite expensive.

Although Wang Duoyu could certainly afford it with his income at the time, he certainly wouldn't eat there often because it was expensive. It wouldn't be a big deal to try it once or twice and spend a little money.

But if you eat there often, it will really hurt.

Matsutake is something that not everyone can afford. Of course, in places of origin like Shangri-La, ordinary villagers can definitely afford it.

Upon hearing this, Liu Deben couldn't help but agree:
"No, are these pine mushrooms really as magical as you say? No matter how delicious they are, they're just mushrooms. Why do we need to fly them overseas to sell them? Can we even make back the fuel costs of the air transportation?"

Wang Duoyu immediately asked a question: "Secretary, do you know what the Spanish mathematics professor told me about the price of pine mushrooms when I was in Warsaw?"

"How many?"

Both Lu Gongliang and Liu Deben were very curious. Wang Duoyu immediately quoted a price, and the two were stunned.

Unreasonable!

It's crazy!

But on second thought, it seems normal.

After all, Spain, the country of the sun, is also one of the developed countries in Europe. Plus, they really like mushrooms like Matsutake, so it is normal that the prices are a bit outrageous.

Since the price is outrageous and Yunnan is indeed likely to produce such pine mushrooms, it is natural for Wang Duoyu to want to go there to take a look.

"Okay, Duoyu, it's settled. I'll go with you then."

Hearing Lu Gongliang's words, Wang Duoyu nodded with a smile.

It doesn’t matter to him who he goes to Yunnan with.

Liu Xiaoliying probably won't go with us on this trip to Yunnan, but of course if she wants to go, that's fine too.

The scenery in Shangri-La is quite nice. Going to high altitude areas to see the mountains, clouds, etc. can also cheer you up.

However, if you really want to go deep into the mountains, you still need to pay attention to relevant precautions to avoid problems caused by lack of oxygen once you get there.

Although Liu Deben also wanted to go, Lu Gongliang had already said that he could not go with them. After all, Harbin Institute of Technology still needed him to preside over the work.

After discussing this matter with the two leaders, Wang Duoyu walked out of the secretary's office.

After arriving home, Wang Duoyu briefly mentioned to Liu Xiaoli and others about their trip to Yunnan next month.

"Yunnan? It's so far away. Are you going there by train?"

The Ice City is located in the northernmost part of the motherland, while Yunnan is at the bottom of the chicken's butt of the motherland's territory. The straight-line distance between the two places is more than 3,700 kilometers, which is still very far.

Hearing Liu Xiaoli's words, Wang Duoyu shook his head and said:

“No, this time we’re going by plane.”

"what?"

Liu Xiaoli, Wang Meihe, Wang Meili and others were immediately surprised. Did the sun rise from the west?

After all, they hadn't seen Wang Duoyu take a plane for some time. You know, before the plane he was on made an emergency landing in the Songhua River, he really loved taking planes.

What's happening this time?
Faced with their surprise, Wang Duoyu just smiled and did not explain.

Pioneer Technologies teamed up with Northern Airlines and cooperated with the Civil Aviation Administration of China to lease a Boeing 737 aircraft from Boeing.

The plane was brought back three months ago and the pilots are still getting familiar with it.

Leasing an aircraft also costs money. It is impossible for Boeing not to make money. It just needs to be able to fly the aircraft back smoothly after the lease period expires.

Northern Airlines has been established for half a year, but it still does not have a passenger plane of its own. It only has a 737 passenger plane, which is rented for pilot training.

Logically speaking, there is no need for Air China to rent a plane, but Wang Duoyu really doesn't want to take the train anymore, especially since he still needs to travel in the second half of the year, so he rents a plane to adapt in advance, because he will need it sooner or later anyway.

"Dad, I want to go too. I want to go too."

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared at the door. It was Zhu Ling, who had not been seen for a long time.

"Little Mom, you're here!"
