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

Chapter 262, Wang Duoyu: Watch your performance quietly

September 29, 1984, Yanjiagang Airport, Ice City.

Wang Duoyu brought Liu Xiaoli and others to the airport, preparing to fly to Beijing to attend the National Day military parade.

Liu Deben, Lu Gongliang, Jin Lirong, Wu Congxin and others also went together. Executive Vice President Han Jue stayed at Harbin Institute of Technology and did not go with them.

The school still needs someone to help keep an eye on it.

Kang Yumin, the second-in-command of Ice City, was also on the plane. He was just hitching a ride because this flight was chartered by Wang Duoyu, the passenger plane leased from Boeing.

This passenger plane belongs to Northern Airlines and is currently the only one in operation.

When there is no flight mission, the aircraft will be flown by pilots from Northern Airlines on major routes, mainly to test the flight routes of each route.

For example, pilots need to be familiar with the routes from the Ice City to major cities such as Tokyo, Guangzhou, Kunming, Shanghai, Beijing, Chongqing, etc.

Because of this, Su Zongxi, the head of the airline who was also on the plane, suggested to Wang Duoyu:

"Professor Wang, our airline's route planning doesn't really need six months to finalize. In fact, three months, or even two months, is all it takes."

"You may not know this, but since this plane returned, the route testing over the past period has burned nearly three million RMB worth of jet fuel."

Su Zongxi felt a great pain in his heart because the consumption was really huge.

According to statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics, on September 860, 810, the national gasoline price per ton dropped from 850 yuan to 810 yuan, and kerosene dropped from yuan to yuan.

But that was the price a year ago. Prices have risen a lot this year, with aviation kerosene costing 940 yuan per ton.

A Boeing 737 passenger plane consumes about five tons of aviation kerosene each time it takes off, and this is just the consumption during takeoff, not including other consumption.

At cruising speed, the aircraft consumes three tons of fuel per hour.

The plane was leased back in April and carried Wang Duoyu to Kunming at the end of July.

It has been five months now, at the end of September.

During such a long period of time, we almost managed to fly at least one round trip every day, and then carry out maintenance.

Because it is a leased plane, we can operate it as we please.

Then you don't know until you do the calculation. You will be shocked when you do it. It is calculated based on an average flight of 5,000 kilometers per day, based on takeoff fuel consumption, cruising fuel consumption, speed, etc.

So there are two takeoffs in 737 kilometers, so the fuel consumption for takeoff is ten tons. The cruising speed of a Boeing 0.82 passenger plane is Mach 1000, which is about kilometers per hour.

In other words, 5,000 kilometers is about five hours of flight. Calculated at an average fuel consumption of three tons per hour, the total fuel consumption for a round trip of 5,000 kilometers is about 25 tons of aviation kerosene.

The price of aviation kerosene is RMB 940 per ton. If it is tons a day, that would be RMB .

In the past, the total time was five months. After deducting some time for maintenance, refueling, etc., minus one month, it would be four months, which is calculated as one hundred and twenty days.

So the total fuel consumption is 2.76 million RMB.

Su Zongxi was not lying when he said that the consumption of aviation kerosene alone was nearly 3 million yuan.

After all, the above data are just average data, because the distance from Bingcheng to Beijing and Tokyo, two major cities, is only more than 1,000 kilometers, but the distance from Bingcheng to Kunming is more than 3,700 kilometers, the distance from Bingcheng to Guangzhou is 3,300 kilometers, the distance to Shanghai is 2,200 kilometers, and the distance to Chongqing is more than 2,900 kilometers, almost 3,000 kilometers.

The Boeing 737 maintenance team is all in Ice City, and many repair parts and tools are also only in Ice City.

Therefore, flights usually depart and arrive on the same day.

Therefore, an average flight of 5,000 kilometers per day is just an average.

The rented plane is not your own, so of course you need to use it as much as possible. Otherwise, wouldn’t the rental money be wasted?

But Su Zongxi still felt very painful about the fuel consumption, it was really terrible.

"Why do you care so much? The money you spend now can always be earned back later. Life comes first."

Wang Duoyu said nonchalantly.

Money is a bastard, if it's gone we'll make it again.

But it would be a pity if one lost his life due to technical problems or other factors.

The person died but the money was not spent. How tragic is that?

Su Zongxi said:

"Professor Wang, I understand the reasoning, but it's three million RMB after all, which is too much."

“So I have to work harder to make money.”

Wang Duoyu's words made Su Zongxi become autistic.

There is no way to continue.

"Dad, Dad, look outside, what's that? Is it a rainbow?"

At this moment, the little guy pulled his father's clothes and pointed out the window and asked.

They had already taken off and were passing through the clouds when they happened to see a rainbow.

Wang Junhong, who often goes out, has seen many such situations, so he understands it himself.

In fact, there is not much rain in the Ice City, especially during the long winter. It is very difficult to see a rainbow on snowy days because the formation of a rainbow requires enough small water droplets in the air.

However, the temperature in the Ice City is very low in winter, so it is almost impossible for small water droplets to exist. Therefore, it is extremely rare to see a rainbow in the Ice City in winter.

"Yeah! That's a rainbow, isn't it beautiful?"

"How beautiful! This is a rainbow!"

The little guy exclaimed that when he was in his hometown in the summer, he helped water the vegetable gardens. When he used the water pipe to spray water into the air, when the sunlight was extremely strong, he could see a rainbow.

But this small rainbow is very different from the rainbow in the sky before our eyes.

If you live in the south or on some islands, rainbows are a very common natural phenomenon.

After explaining some basic knowledge to the little guy, the plane continued to climb in altitude, and soon the rainbow could no longer be seen.

As the plane cut through the clouds and soared into an altitude of 8,000 meters, Wang Duoyu no longer paid any attention to Su Zongxi, but lowered his head and busy himself with his own affairs.

Seeing this, the latter could only shut up tactfully.

Three million may be a very large sum of money for him, but for Wang Duoyu, it is not much.

Since spending these three million RMB could increase the chance of survival a little bit, Wang Duoyu certainly would not hesitate.

More than an hour later, the plane landed safely at Beijing Nanyuan Airport.

The flight time of the Boeing 737 passenger plane he is currently riding has been shortened a lot, which is very good for Wang Duoyu.

Having a more convenient means of transportation is what he pursues.

Unfortunately, if possible, he would still prefer to build a high-speed railway, so that the distance between Ice City and Beijing is more than 1,200 kilometers.

However, if the average speed exceeds 350 kilometers per hour, not counting the time spent at stops along the way, it will take about three and a half hours.

This time point is not too far away compared to taking a plane.

"Ok?"

As soon as he walked out of the cabin door, Wang Duoyu saw Yu Chunshun waiting not far away on the apron.

When the plane was taxiing just now, Wang Duoyu had not seen the other party. He just knew that someone was coming to pick them up, but he did not expect that it was the leader of the Foreign Exchange Department who came to pick him up in person.

In addition to Yu Chunshun, Lu Yangui and Fang Lihe also came.

To be honest, they seem to be quite free, so why did they all come to the airport?
However, Wang Duoyu also knew that they were definitely not idle, but had something to find him for, otherwise they would not have come to the airport to pick him up.

It was only 10:50 in the morning. To be honest, it was still early for lunch, so the right thing to do was to go to the office and chat.

"Professor Wang, welcome back. Long time no see."

Yu Chunshun was very enthusiastic and greeted and shook hands with a smile on his face. Wang Duoyu was the same, with a smile all over his face. As for how sincere his smile was, no one knew.

After exchanging pleasantries with Yu Chunshun, Fang Lihe, Lu Yangui and others, a big problem arose when getting on the car.

The three of them tried their best to invite Wang Duoyu to get in their own car, but Wang Duoyu was alone and it was impossible for him to get in their car.

In the end, Wang Duoyu didn't choose anyone, but got straight into Harbin Institute of Technology's own car.

Harbin Institute of Technology is now very rich. It has an office in Beijing and has prepared several Hongqi cars.

Starting from the birth of the first Hongqi luxury car in 1958, to its designation as the "national car" in 1964, and then to its forced discontinuation of production in 1981 due to problems such as excessive fuel consumption.

Hongqi cars have also experienced many ups and downs.

But for Wang Duoyu, the Hongqi sedan is his face, it is our own car.

If he was at Harbin Institute of Technology, he would definitely be driving an imported car such as a Mercedes-Benz or Bentley, but in Beijing, there is no need to be so high-profile.

For reasons of confidentiality and other considerations, Wang Duoyu would have all imported cars dismantled, inspected several times, and then reinstalled.

Anyway, we have technicians, so there is no need to worry about not being able to restore it after disassembly.

"Three leaders, we'll see you later."

Wang Duoyu waved and smiled at the car window, and the Hongqi car slowly drove away.

Fang Li and the three of them looked at each other and could only nod helplessly.

Who should be blamed for this?
You can't blame anyone, so let's get in the car and catch up now.

Half an hour later, in an office in a compound on Wenjin Street, Wang Duoyu sat down and looked at Yu Chunshun from the Foreign Exchange Department with a surprised look on his face.

The latter has just made a brief sharing on the Lotte Group and also made a suggestion: temporarily stop investing in Japan.

"Why do you want to stop? Leader, if you give me a reasonable reason, maybe I will agree, but what you are proposing now is totally unacceptable."

Wang Duoyu asked.

Lotte Group has a total investment of US$6.7 billion in Japan. This amount of money is certainly not small, but it is definitely not a lot either.

The Americans eat meat, and Wang Duoyu drinks some soup, is that okay?

Besides, he started investing in 1981 and was bullish on the Japanese economy.

How could those capitalists on Wall Street in the United States possibly guess this?

Even if the Plaza Accord was signed, the capitalists on Wall Street probably would not have thought of this, simply because Lotte Group not only invests in real estate, but also in finance and ocean shipping.

Therefore, the risks that Yu Chunshun was worried about did not exist at all.

As for whether Japan's economy will get better and better, is there any need to ask this?
"I know the Japanese economy will get better and better, but what if the US wields the scythe?"

Hearing Yu Chunshun's words, Wang Duoyu immediately retorted:

"According to your prediction, Germany also has a trade surplus with the United States. Although the surplus is not as large as Japan's, it still earns a lot of money from the United States. So why am I not bullish on Germany, but on Japan instead?"

In the history of the original time and space, after the Plaza Accord, the Japanese yen appreciated rapidly, the US dollar depreciated, and the Japanese economy developed rapidly.

First of all, it must be made clear that the United States will definitely take action against Japan and Germany. So what is the reason?

Throughout the early 1980s, the U.S. fiscal deficit increased dramatically and its foreign trade deficit increased significantly. In other words, all the money was earned by Japan and Germany.

On the other hand, the overly strong US dollar has led to higher prices for American goods in the international market, while imported goods are relatively cheap, which has caused a serious trade imbalance.

This is actually very contradictory, why?

Since the United States launched the Bretton Woods system, its Federal Reserve has been printing a large amount of US dollars. The base currency of the US dollar has increased from more than 80 billion US dollars in 1971 to more than 300 billion or almost 400 billion US dollars now.

So, logically speaking, the US dollar should depreciate, after all, there is too much currency.

Unfortunately, this is not the case. Printing a large amount of banknotes will only lead to serious inflation in the United States.

This is why, after the oil crisis that began in late 1978 and early 1979, the economic crisis in Great Britain that it triggered swept the world, followed by a very serious economic crisis in the United States.

Inflation in the United States is too high. This is the domestic situation, and as a result, the cost of products exported from the United States has increased.

But globally, the US dollar is still very powerful because it is tied to oil and is the global trading currency. In addition, during the economic crisis in 1980 and 1981, the Federal Reserve's interest rate was as high as 12% and 16%.

Such high interest rates have naturally attracted a large amount of funds to flow back to the United States.

Due to various reasons such as the economic crisis and the strong dollar, the prices of American goods exported abroad are very high, so the competitiveness of American goods in the international market has naturally been weakened.

To put it simply, for the same car, a car made in the United States costs 50,000 US dollars, while a car made in Japan only costs 30,000 US dollars. Consumers will definitely choose the car made in Japan.

All are not fools.

Just like the previous Nebula supercomputer product, it had low cost and was priced at only US$5.99 million, and as a result, nearly 200 units were sold.

However, Cray's Cray series supercomputers are priced at US$12 million to US$15 million. It's not that they don't want to lower the price, but the cost itself is very high, and there's nothing they can do about it.

The same reason applies to the Motorola 8000X. Due to the high inflation and production costs in the United States, this phone was completely outperformed by cordless phones and PHS phones.

As for the South American market, why Motorola mobile phones are sold at a higher price and the sales volume is still good? It is because of its unique business.

Monopoly business is the easiest to do. There is no competition, so they are much more casual when setting prices.

Secondly, after President Reagan came to power, he introduced a series of policies to cope with the economic crisis, which promoted production and consumption and caused the US dollar to continue to appreciate.

This is also one of the reasons why the United States has a trade deficit every year.

U.S. exports are becoming increasingly expensive, while imports are becoming increasingly cheaper, which has dealt a severe blow to the U.S. export industry and intensified calls for trade protectionism.

If the US wants to change this situation, it must take action against Japan and Germany, because Japan's huge trade surplus is seen as a threat to the US market share.

At this time, companies such as Huaxin, Azure, and Dolphin Games did not occupy much of the market share in the export of electric bicycles, handheld game consoles and other products to the United States.

After all, Japan's export products earn tens of billions of dollars from the United States every year, which is extremely crazy.

Then, Wang Duoyu raised his second finger:
"Boss, let me tell you why I am bullish on Japan, especially the second reason why I am bullish on their real estate market."

Because Japan has a larger population, a smaller area, and is an island country with scarce resources.

Especially in the city of Tokyo, people are very dependent on houses.

After the Plaza Accord was signed, the Bank of Japan and other countries would sell a large amount of US dollars in order to force the dollar to depreciate and achieve the US's goals.

If the US dollar depreciates, the Japanese yen will appreciate against the US dollar.

The appreciation of the yen will inevitably bring huge pressure to Japanese export companies and will also cause heavy losses to foreign investments.

Under such circumstances, Japan will inevitably take measures to ease the economic pressure brought about by appreciation.

Germany and Japan adopted different approaches in this regard, or perhaps Germany was luckier.

Because the Berlin Wall was torn down!!!

After the unification of the East and the West, Germany gained additional consumer markets and labor resources, thus avoiding the impact of the Plaza Accord.

With more labor, wage levels have naturally dropped a lot, thereby reducing manufacturing costs.

Germany has also implemented extremely clever tax policies, which have enabled it to successfully redistribute wealth and alleviate economic pressure.

But Japan is different. They have adopted a loose monetary policy, especially an ultra-low interest rate policy.

This policy led to excess liquidity, with a large amount of funds flowing into the stock market and real estate market, which in turn drove up stock prices and housing prices, ultimately forming an economic bubble.

"Leader, Japan was bound to form this economic bubble. They had no choice. One thing led to another. It was inevitable."

Wang Duoyu said solemnly:
"What I said today about next year, a year from now, if you look back, you will definitely be able to verify this."

"On the other hand, the reason I continue to invest in Japan is to avoid the United States."

If the current funds were earned directly from the United States and not invested out, many capitalists on Wall Street and other places would definitely be able to see it.

Nielsen, an American business research company, often publishes data.

Whether it is Huaxin Company or Diaopai Company, there is no way to hide the fact that enterprises affiliated with Harbin Institute of Technology go overseas to earn foreign exchange.

On the other hand, Want Want Group is very smart and can hide perfectly.

The sales company is American, the manufacturing company is Chinese, and the parent capital company is in the archipelago.

Profits won't stay in the United States, but will be dispersed around the world, becoming a form of "international capital." This mysterious capital will inevitably flow to wherever the economy is thriving.

For example, investing in US dollar assets: US Treasury bonds, US stocks, US dollar foreign exchange, etc.

The flow of funds is very frequent, so it is undoubtedly very difficult to track it. This is the strategy of Want Want Group.

Companies like Huaxin cannot avoid it, so they can only proceed with it openly and honestly.

In today’s international market, products manufactured in the United States are very expensive. It doesn’t matter. We can just buy food, oil, minerals and other resources from the United States.

These are products with very low added value and are completely worth buying. Anyway, the prices are not much different from those in the international market.

American products are not competitive in the international market, referring to high value-added manufacturing products such as automobiles, personal computers, lithography machines, etc.

Because these products are highly dependent on workers, technicians, etc., labor costs are high.

With so much money earned, it is certainly worthwhile to spend it on purchasing these raw materials.

So the money earned in the United States is spent in the United States, and not a penny is taken home.

They certainly won't target these companies affiliated with Harbin Institute of Technology. After all, there is no trade surplus and Harbin Institute of Technology doesn't make any money from them, so why would they target them?

Naturally, most of the funds earned in Japan are invested in the Japanese real estate market and stock market.

Just because after the Plaza Accord, these two major markets will inevitably rise.

Entering the market now is equivalent to buying at the bottom.

After hearing what Wang Duoyu said, Yu Chunshun's mind was still working wildly, but he was obviously no match for the former.

It’s not that Yu Chunshun is not as smart as Wang Duoyu, but that Wang Duoyu is well prepared and has a very accurate view of people and things.

Compared with the simulation of weather conditions, economic laws can still be traced and are relatively easier to judge.

Because a lot of data on current policies, economic conditions, import and export trade, etc. are all in front of us, they are all ready-made and can be used directly.

The Americans' intentions and the calls for local protectionism can all be clearly seen in the newspaper media.

What's more, the United States has previously signed a large number of voluntary export restrictions agreements with Japan.

My goodness, the Americans practically put the knife to the Japanese's neck and said to them, "Robbery!"

But even so, I am at the mercy of others.

Japan had no choice. If they did not surrender, there would be no way out.

Therefore, at this time, when Yu Chunshun listened to Wang Duoyu's analysis, it was certainly difficult for him to find reasons to refute it.

What?

Do I really want to continue investing?

Lu Yangui and Fang Lihe standing next to them were also dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.

After a while, when Wang Duoyu had already drunk several mouthfuls of water, Fang Lihe finally spoke:
"Duoyu, I know you probably want to make money, but you also have to take care of our country. Right now, several projects at the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building have been forced to be shelved or suspended due to lack of funds."

The Seventh Ministry of Machine Building is mainly responsible for the aerospace industry, including the research, design and production of rockets, missiles and spacecraft. It has many subordinate units, such as the Fifth Academy that Wang Duoyu had visited before.

This Fifth Academy is the Fifth Research Institute where Qian Xuesen served as its president.

There are also related units such as aerospace industry-related units, tactical missile industry-related units, the National Space Administration and the China Aerospace Corporation.

Nowadays, with economic development as the center, scientific research funds in areas such as aerospace and missiles have become tight.

Logically speaking, Fang Lihe shouldn't have brought this up to Wang Duoyu, after all, Harbin Institute of Technology is also a subordinate unit of the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building.

But isn't Harbin Institute of Technology currently working on several small and medium-sized projects, such as the Mach 5 fighter jet project and space missiles? Even so, Harbin Institute of Technology is still very rich.

Let’s put it this way, the richest institution in China at present is definitely Harbin Institute of Technology.

Even though the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building is a directly subordinate unit of Harbin Institute of Technology, it still needs to discuss with Harbin Institute of Technology instead of taking the money directly.

It is inevitable to be jealous because everyone is poor, only Harbin Institute of Technology is so rich. Fang Lihe has been able to hold on until now before speaking, and he is quite cautious. He has been patient enough.

"Boss, I don't have any money. You've got the wrong person."

Wang Duoyu rolled his eyes.

It's not Harbin Institute of Technology's own project. If they have money, they will definitely prioritize Harbin Institute of Technology's projects over those of other units.

There is a saying that goes, "If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world."

The problem is that Harbin Institute of Technology has already established a Dawn supercomputing project, and it doesn’t have much funding on hand.

If it is just a small project, then there is no problem, tens of millions of RMB or something, Harbin Institute of Technology can definitely afford it.

However, how could a project that could make Fang Lihe open his mouth know such a small amount of money?

After all, this is the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building, and none of its subordinate units play a simple role.

Even the projects that professors of Harbin Institute of Technology's aerospace and missile majors have created themselves start with a cost of one million RMB. The laboratory equipment and some materials need to be imported from abroad, which means they require foreign exchange quotas.

Of course, these units of the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building would not be involved in such a small project, so Wang Duoyu directly replied: Don't say anything.

Fang Lihe was speechless for a moment, and Lu Yangui couldn't help but secretly laugh when he saw the former being humiliated.

"Duoyu, don't be angry. There's no need to bother with these people."

At this time, Lu Yangui stepped forward to act as a good guy and said:
"Let's go get some food later. I got some good wine. We can have a few sips at noon and stay drunk at night. How about that?"

Wang Duoyu heard this and said:

"Boss, you must have other things to do, right? Why don't you tell me now? I still want to go home for lunch, otherwise I'm afraid that a meal will cost hundreds of millions."

Lü Yangui: “.”

I'm really speechless. I've been completely chatted up by Wang Duoyu today. How else can I chat?

There's no way to continue the conversation.

Fang Lihe took the opportunity to interrupt and said:

"Duoyu, can you please not be so defensive? Come on, let's talk about this. To be honest, if Harbin Institute of Technology can participate in these projects I mentioned, there will be many benefits."

Hearing this, Wang Duoyu couldn't help but stare and said:
"Could it be possible to establish a rocket launch site at our Harbin Institute of Technology?"

There's no way to chat today!
Given the environment of Harbin Institute of Technology, how is it possible to set up a rocket launch site on campus?
Moreover, Harbin Institute of Technology's scientific research capabilities in aerospace and rockets still need to be improved, so let alone building a launch site, it would be great if it could even participate in major national projects.

Not to mention letting Harbin Institute of Technology take the lead in some major projects, there is definitely still a long way to go.

"Just think of it as paying tuition," Fang Lihe said patiently. Wang Duoyu was speechless. He looked at Liu Deben and Lu Gongliang, who had been silent, and said:
"how much is it?"

The two stewards of Harbin Institute of Technology didn't say a word, leaving Wang Duoyu speechless.

Upon hearing this, Fang Lihe raised two fingers and said two hundred million.

Liu Deben and Lu Gongliang's pupils were instantly shocked. So many?

Wang Duoyu also felt that it was a bit too much. Should he pay the tuition?

"No, Duoyu, your own Sugon supercomputer project is worth 8 billion RMB. You invested it right away. Why do you say it's too expensive when I only asked you to put up 200 million RMB?"

Can it be the same?

One is his own project, so of course he can't treat himself unfairly. Otherwise, what's the point of him working so hard to make money?
The other one was someone else's project, and Wang Duoyu didn't think it could compare with his own Dawn supercomputing project, not to mention that it was agreed to be tuition.

Two hundred million RMB in tuition fees is certainly a lot.

We talked about this next moment. After listening to it, Wang Duoyu agreed, but he also asked teachers and students of Harbin Institute of Technology to participate, otherwise the 200 million tuition fee would be in vain.

Until lunch, Lu Yangui did not talk about his affairs.

He didn't say anything, and Wang Duoyu was too lazy to ask.

However, there were still two bottles of wine at lunch, which were a little different from the cellar wine Wang Duoyu had drunk before.

Because this time the wine is stored in a cellar for twenty years and is not stored in a large ceramic wine vat, there will be a big difference in flavor and taste.

After drinking it a few times, Wang Duoyu had his own experience with this kind of cellared wine.

Well, it’s not the case that the longer the wine is stored in the cellar, the better it tastes.

It has a lot to do with the storage utensils, time, environment, etc., and the storage technology is also very particular.

The last time I drank Wuliangye, it was stored in a ceramic jar for thirty years. Because it was stored in a perfect manner, the taste of the wine was very light, but the aroma was more intense.

After one sip, the fragrance will linger on your lips and teeth.

But the wine this time is Fenjiu. Although it is also a big brand and has been stored in cellars for more than 20 years, there is still some gap in taste and other aspects.

Because it was lunch, everyone just had a quick taste.

Liu Deben and Lu Gongliang were able to get a free drink, as they rarely had the chance to drink such wine.

Only Fang Lihe and Lu Yangui could get such wine.

In the afternoon, Wang Duoyu went to a relevant scientific research unit and stayed there for the entire afternoon.

In the evening, he still couldn't go back to Zhongguancun West Street for dinner because Lu Yangui and others had arranged a dinner party.

Tonight's meal was held in a private room in the cafeteria of Lu Yangui's unit. There was a large wine jar in the room, which was a large ceramic wine jar covered with mud.

"Look, Duoyu, this is the wine I prepared for you. It was produced by the Maotai Distillery in 1959. You may not know the situation back then."

In 1959, the three-year natural disaster period began.

At that time, Moutai Distillery brewed a lot of wine, but there was no way to turn it into grain, and it couldn't be sold. In the end, there was no choice but to seal up a considerable portion of it.

Later, a termite wanted to take the wine for himself.

Through a series of means, he successfully crossed out the money from the warehouse records.

As time passed, the wine in the big jar finally saw the light of day and is now in Lu Yangui's hands.

Once it came into his hands, he should have taken it to the market to exchange for money. After all, such wine would definitely sell for a lot of money in today's market economy.

However, Wang Duoyu is the biggest customer.

Who makes Want Want Group the most profitable individual enterprise in China?

Want Want Group seems to be a collective enterprise, but Lu Yangui and others are not stupid, so they naturally know that this enterprise actually belongs to Wang Duoyu.

Although the management of Want Want Group includes Zheng Baoyin, Wang Jianchao, Wei Ruolai, Liang Shengzhi, Xue Lisheng, Qu Haiping and others, the real person in charge is Wang Duoyu.

Therefore, if one wants to maximize the profits of this wine, it is natural to give it directly to Wang Duoyu.

Who made Wang Duoyu also like to drink this kind of wine?

Wang Duoyu's eyes fell on the big wine jar. It had not been opened yet, and there were cracks on the mud lid.

I just don’t know if the wine will be good after being stored for so many years.

It has been twenty-five years since 1959.

This Moutai liquor has been stored in large ceramic vats for 25 years, so it is definitely more delicious in terms of taste and other aspects.

"Boss, how much is this wine?"

After hearing what Wang Duoyu said, how could Lu Yangui let the other party buy it?
It must be a gift, because if I buy it, he won’t be able to ask for it later.

However, Wang Duoyu was not a fool, he immediately said:
"Since you're unwilling to speak, I'll have Want Want Group donate $500,000 for imported oil."

Five hundred thousand US dollars is not a small amount of money, it is definitely far more than the value of this large wine jar.

Lü Yangui: “.”

After losing consciousness, Lu Yangui immediately shook his head and said:

"That's definitely not okay, no, no, I promised to give it to you, how can I ask for money?"

"Are you really giving it to me? Without paying?"

Wang Duoyu asked with a smile, and Lu Yangui was startled. He knew that Wang Duoyu was not easy to fool, so it was difficult for him to answer this question.

After laughing it off and speaking vaguely, Lu Yangui quickly asked someone to serve the dishes.

Open the jar and drink!

To be honest, it was the first time for Wang Duoyu to see such a large wine jar opened. The moment it was opened, there was only a faint aroma of wine, and after that, there was no smell at all.

It is impossible for wine that has been settled for such a long time to still have a very strong aroma.

Only when you drink it can you taste the fragrance.

After the large wine vat was opened, professional winemakers began to package the wine into smaller pieces and then packed them using professional packaging devices.

After all, it is impossible to finish drinking the wine jar that is several hundred liters in one day.

At most, I can finish two or three bottles. If I drink more, I definitely won’t be able to finish it.

Therefore, the remaining wine must be sealed instead of left there.

If you pack it in small bottles of 500 ml or 750 ml, you can get five or six hundred bottles of this wine.

If there is so much, even if you drink one bottle every day, it will last you for one or two years.

However, Wang Duoyu definitely does not drink every day. He is not an alcoholic, let alone an alcoholic. At most, he drinks two or three bottles a month.

The extra wine can be given away as gifts.

People like Zheng Baoyin also like to drink, as do Liu Deben and others, and foreigners like John Milnor.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Lu Yangui finally spoke:
"Duoyu, I heard from my colleagues at customs that your Want Want Group has exported a lot of goods this year, such as shoes and clothes. Can you really make money selling these products to countries like the United States and Japan?"

Isn't this a question that you already know the answer to?

Wang Duoyu curled his lips and nodded silently.

Just don't say anything and watch the other person perform quietly.

To be honest, if Lu Yangui was only targeting companies like Huaxin, Wang Duoyu might have responded, but since the other party talked about Want Want Group, he must be targeting the company's foreign exchange.

That definitely won’t work!

The Plaza Accord is about to come, and Wang Duoyu needs to save as much money as possible and get on board as soon as possible.

If the companies affiliated with Harbin Institute of Technology want to make more money, Want Want Group must also make more money. Only in this way will Wang Duoyu be able to easily establish some large projects in the future.

It would be frustrating if he was unable to set up a scientific research project and achieve his goals due to funding constraints.

As for asking him to be like Lu Yangui and others now, speaking to others in a humble manner and racking his brains to make money.

impossible!
Instead of this, he might as well make more money outside.

Lu Yangui felt a little uncomfortable. Why didn't Wang Duoyu accept the challenge?
This is difficult. What should I do next?

So he could only talk about Wang Duoshi in a roundabout way.

"Your brother is in the army now. He's doing quite well and was awarded a third-class merit last month."

Hearing this, Wang Duoyu was a little dazed. He indeed hadn't heard from his younger brother for some time.

It’s not that he, as an older brother, doesn’t care about the other person, but his younger brother Wang Duoshi really made him tired before.

After throwing the other party into the army, Wang Duoyu felt much less worried.

It's been a long time, so there's no need to worry about whether my brother will end up dead on the street one day.

Now, when Wang Duoyu suddenly heard Lu Yangui mention his younger brother again, he was indeed a little distracted.

Previously, Wang Duoshi went to the army managed by Lin Dehong, and Lin Dehong’s immediate superior was Lu Yangui, so the latter knew about Wang Duoshi’s affairs.

"Oh, that's good, that's fine."
