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

Chapter 269, Rejection and Accident (Please subscribe and vote)
Saturday, December 15, 1984.

The weekends at Harbin Institute of Technology seem to be no different from usual days. Everyone is still busy with what they should be doing.

There are more students on campus making snowmen and having snowball fights, but if you look closely, you will see that there are still many people sitting in the study rooms of the library and teaching buildings reading and studying.

It seems that studying is the main theme for everyone, and playing is shameful.

Led by Han Jue and others, Morris Chang visited the campus of Harbin Institute of Technology, as well as the Guanghui Photolithography Factory, Huaxing Chip Factory, Dolphin Games Company and other units.

After the visit, Morris Chang was filled with emotion. The development of the Ice City truly amazed him.

Because these companies of Harbin Institute of Technology are already at the international leading level, many of their equipment are even beyond the reach of Texas Instruments.

You know, Texas Instruments is one of the giants in the semiconductor industry, and it is the company that invented the integrated circuit.

Handheld calculators, single-chip microcomputers, single-chip linear predictive coding speech synthesizers, transistor radios, home thermostats and many other products are products produced by Texas Instruments in the past 30 years.

Morris Chang joined Texas Instruments in 1958 and witnessed the development of the company.

However, Harbin Institute of Technology has already achieved the technological level of Texas Instruments in just a few years, and is even larger in terms of industrial scale and revenue data, which is simply incredible.

That night, at the welcome banquet, Morris Chang finally met Wang Duoyu.

"Professor Wang, I've heard of you for a long time. Today we finally meet. Although I've seen your photo in the newspaper, I still can't believe you're so young."

"Mr. Zhang, I've also heard of your great name for a long time. I've also heard of your fame at Texas Instruments."

Wang Duoyu also greeted the other party very politely.

There were quite a few people having dinner together today, but everyone was just listening to the conversation between Wang Duoyu and Morris Chang.

After the five dishes were served, Morris Chang took the initiative to ask:
"Professor Wang, I visited your school this afternoon. To be honest, your development has surprised and astonished me. So I still don't understand why you invited me here."

Harbin Institute of Technology is full of talented people and its development is very healthy. Although it is eager for talent, it would not spend a lot of money to poach someone like Morris Chang, right?
Whether it is Texas Instruments, Fairchild Semiconductor, Intel, or other companies, there are many talents who are at the same level as or even higher than Morris Chang.

So why is it him, Morris Chang?
For example, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation can be regarded as the "West Point Military Academy" of the semiconductor industry. Silicon Valley emerged because the talents of Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation left one after another and established many high-tech companies, such as Intel.

The high-tech industry in the United States is indeed full of talented people, and Morris Chang is really nothing special.

To be precise, Morris Chang actually prefers to go to Taiwan.

Without mentioning other unspeakable reasons, let's just talk about what he himself knows, which is that mainland China has only recently started its reform and opening up, and it is probably not very open. How could there be a good business environment?
It is impossible for Morris Chang to be without ambition. After all, he is already 53 years old. Over half a century old, the only thing he pursues in life is fame.

If Shang Zhongmin had not come to persuade him tirelessly, he would not have given the other party the opportunity to return to the mainland for a visit.

The huge contrast made Morris Chang even more confused. What was the reason why Wang Duoyu invited him to Harbin Institute of Technology?

Wang Duoyu heard this and smiled slightly, saying:
"I wonder what Mr. Zhang thinks of the current situation in the global semiconductor industry?"

Zhang Zhongmou's heart moved when he heard Wang Duoyu's words. He felt a little excited and nervous, and asked tentatively:
"Professor Wang, I don't quite understand. Please give me some advice."

He did not reveal his thoughts easily because his thoughts were indeed too "rebellious".

You should know that the current global semiconductor market mainly adopts the IDM model, that is, the vertically integrated manufacturing model, in which companies complete all processes including chip design, manufacturing, packaging and testing by themselves.

But it is obvious that with the development of technology and the intensification of market competition.

Especially in recent years, leading companies such as Huashun Company, Huaxin Company and Dolphin Games Company have directly turned the global market upside down.

The vertically integrated manufacturing model is no longer efficient and has even become extremely bloated.

Morris Chang also heard some seemingly true news from friends in the industry, such as that companies like Motorola chose to transfer some component production to mainland China.

On the other hand, there are even rumors that Huaxing Chip Company will take over the chip foundry business.

This afternoon he focused on visiting Huaxing Chip Company, and of course he knew that this company was engaged in chip production for some companies.

The chip design is completed by those companies themselves, while the manufacturing, packaging and testing processes are handed over to Huaxing Chip to complete. The overall foundry will greatly reduce costs.

Morris Chang was very excited about this chip foundry model, but he did not show it during the afternoon visit.

But he became more and more certain that there was nothing wrong with his idea. If he could even create such a foundry himself, or join Huaxing Chip Company, then maybe he could really realize the idea he had had for the past few years.

Establishing a chip foundry is not only about seeking profit but also fame!

"No, Mr. Zhang, you must know!"

Wang Duoyu shook his head and said:
"The global semiconductor market has reached another bottleneck, and chip manufacturing is becoming increasingly complex and specialized. I believe that Mr. Zhang, as an industry professional, cannot fail to see this."

"In the past, a chip would integrate thousands or tens of thousands of transistors, but now it integrates at least hundreds of thousands, or even millions. In the future, even more complex transistors will be integrated, such as in our Nebula supercomputer."

"With technological requirements becoming increasingly complex and specialized, the previous vertically integrated manufacturing model is no longer suitable."

"We at Huaxing Chip started to pursue chip foundry business over a year ago, but as you can see, we are increasingly struggling, so we need a very professional team to lead us."

"There is no doubt that Mr. Zhang is the professional talent we need"

The chip foundry model is a semiconductor development model that has already been established in the future. Wang Duoyu dare not say what the more distant future will be like, but in the next forty or fifty years, there will definitely be no problems with the chip foundry model.

Nowadays, Huaxin has also launched the Xiaolingtong mobile phone, and Motorola has also launched the Motorola 8000X.

Even the two companies will continue to launch better mobile phone products.

On the other hand, Nokia in Europe was also trying to improve its mobile phone Senator in order to gain a larger market share.

The era of global mobile communications is about to arrive, and Nokia cannot fail to see that Huaxin is making huge money in the global market with its Xiaolingtong mobile phones.

Nielsen, an American business research company, has announced the sales volume of Huaxin's Xiaolingtong mobile phones in the US market for several consecutive months.

Capital and financial giants such as Wall Street are already drooling over it.

Some people may have already started to enter this market, while others are waiting for opportunities.

In addition to mobile communications, the personal computer market is also gradually emerging, and the home game console market, handheld game console market, pet egg game console market, etc. are also developing.

In other words, the development of these electronic products has sounded the alarm for the semiconductor industry: the times have changed.

Upon hearing this, Morris Chang opened his mouth, and the surprise and complexity in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

In fact, he wanted to start his own business instead of continuing to work for others.

If he starts a business, he will definitely be able to build a technical team.

But in terms of financial support, it is not enough.

Because chip foundry factories are not simple, today's lithography machines will only become more and more expensive. Due to the high cost and complex technology, its selling price cannot be the previous US$450,000.

In addition to the lithography machine, personnel, clean rooms, and many other equipment also mean a large amount of capital investment.

So now, apart from choosing to join Huaxing Chip Company, he has no choice but to go to Taiwan.

After all, Taiwan is also eager to recruit him.

Zhang Zhongmou, whose thoughts were hit by Wang Duoyu's words, took a long time to digest what Wang Duoyu said.

After a moment's silence, he finally spoke in a hoarse voice:

"Professor Wang, if I join Huaxing Chip and help you build a team, what can I gain?"

He was moved!

At the same time, he also wanted to ask himself how much he was worth in Wang Duoyu's heart.

Who knew that Wang Duoyu would shake his head and say:

"No, I'm not inviting you to join our Huaxing Chip Company. I want to start a business with you!"

"We at Harbin Institute of Technology will provide the technology, funding, space, and some talent, and you will provide the technology, experience, some funding, a technical team, and so on. We will set up a new company in the Ice City."

"I can give you and your team 10% of the shares, and I guarantee that unless there are other special circumstances, your shares will not be diluted."

Start a business?

Liu Deben and others looked at each other, but they didn't say anything.

The smile on Ou Wenhui's face gradually disappeared, his eyelids drooped, and many thoughts were already in his mind.

As the head of Huaxing Chip Company, Ou Wenhui has contributed a lot. It can be said that Huaxing Chip was built by him from scratch, and it was he who watched the company develop into what it is today.

When Ou Wenhui learned about Morris Chang, a talented person who came from afar, he was quite happy, but also a little worried.

At that time, he also felt that he might not be able to get along with Morris Chang, thus delaying the development of Huaxing Chip.

But now according to what Wang Duoyu said, Morris Chang will not join the Huaxing Chip company.

This means that Morris Chang will compete with Huaxing Chip Company.

In fact, Ou Wenhui is not too worried about this kind of competition, because Huaxing Chip is the "son" of Harbin Institute of Technology after all, and the new company led by Morris Chang can only be regarded as its "godson".

Who is closer? Is this something that needs to be asked?

But there is also a saying that goes, "People get tired of the old and love the new"!

Who knows?

Upon hearing this, Morris Chang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

It's just 10% of the shares. Even if there is no dilution, so what?
But although he was disappointed, he did not show it.

He is over fifty years old, and if he is not shrewd, he will never be able to get the position of senior vice president.

If Texas Instruments were not an American company, Morris Chang would have been the helmsman of this company long ago.

In the United States, there is a company called Wang Laboratories, which is a technology company founded by a Chinese.

In the 1970s, Wang Laboratories invented and manufactured equipment such as logarithmic computers, small business computers, word processors, and other office automation equipment that were at the forefront of their time.

In the 500s, Wang Laboratories ranked 152nd among the largest companies in the United States listed by Fortune magazine with annual revenue of US$ to billion.

Morris Chang wanted to be such a big entrepreneur, not just a senior vice president of Texas Instruments.

Seeing this, Wang Duoyu also guessed what the other party was thinking.

But he didn't say anything else.

Everyone has their own aspirations. Wang Duoyu cannot force anything, nor can he force anyone else.

Although he has some fame globally, he is far less famous than Morris Chang in the semiconductor industry.

Therefore, it is naturally not easy for Harbin Institute of Technology to start a business with the other party.

Although both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal tonight, Wang Duoyu felt it was tasteless.

After dinner, Wang Duoyu watched Morris Chang leave and said to Liu Deben next to him:

"Secretary, let's go back to the office and talk."

More than 20 minutes later, Wang Duoyu and others returned to the secretary's office in the administrative building. Lu Gongliang, Han Jue, Ou Wenhui, Shang Zhongmin and others were also sitting in the office.

After sitting down, Wang Duoyu took a sip of water and said:

"Secretary, I know you all have many questions, but there's no need to ask. You've all seen it just now. Morris Chang is unlikely to cooperate with us."

"Honestly, 10% of the shares is already a lot, but the other party has a big appetite. Haha, he didn't even consider whether he could take so many shares."

He sneered without disguising anything, and continued:

"Now that we've confirmed Morris Chang won't cooperate with us, we'll continue to expand Huaxing Chip Company, increase investment, and contact headhunters to start poaching people. We need to establish our own chip technology sales team."

At present, Huaxing Chip Company already has a relatively mature full-industry chain team including chip design, manufacturing, packaging and testing, but it is not large enough and does not have a corresponding technical sales team.

Therefore, it is definitely necessary to recruit internationally and have these people work for Huaxing Chip.

Only by receiving orders can we continue to expand the Huaxing chip factory, otherwise it will be a waste of effort.

If we just rely on those people to come to us, it definitely won’t work.

"Duoyu, if that's the case, what about the chip businesses of Huaxin, Huashun, and Excellence Technology?"

Lu Gongliang couldn't help asking, and Wang Duoyu immediately said:

"Of course, we are following the chip foundry model. Huaxing Chip Company should also make money. It is impossible to keep working for free."

Huaxing Chip Company no longer adopts the previous vertically integrated manufacturing model, but a chip foundry model. All parties must be treated equally. If they are treated differently, accidents are likely to occur.

However, Liu Deben has a different opinion:

"Perhaps we can set up another chip factory that specializes in foundry mode, so that we can avoid this kind of situation from happening again."

Han Jue and others also expressed their opinions and views. Wang Duoyu did not say anything, but listened quietly.

Although everyone had just drunk some alcohol, it seemed like fake alcohol. They were now particularly sober and were very serious and clear-headed when talking about these topics.

After they finished speaking, Wang Duoyu nodded and said:
"Your considerations are not without merit, but you must understand that the subsequent chip design and production will be an extremely large undertaking. If we continue with the previous vertically integrated manufacturing model, the advantage is that the technology is less likely to be leaked, but the disadvantage is that the cost will be higher."

Ou Wenhui immediately asked in confusion:
"Professor Wang, I don't quite understand. Under the vertically integrated manufacturing model, no matter how complex the technology is, it must be cheaper than chips produced by a foundry, right? It can't be that we don't have to pay the foundry fee for the chip, right?"

This statement was agreed by many people, but Wang Duoyu shook his head and said:

"Old Ou, as an expert, I'm surprised that you haven't seen through this."

After a pause, he continued:

"Let's not talk about the distant future. Let's just talk about the current Nebula Supercomputing. Didn't your Huaxing Chip Company notice the high cost of manufacturing these chips?"

"You know, you're a professional team, but you still find it very difficult during the production process. How much more so for others?"

"You're also aware of the Sugon supercomputer series our school is researching. A single chip will have even more transistors integrated into it, and its interior will be hundreds of times larger than Manhattan in New York."

"When we design chips, we need to overcome more technical difficulties. This means that the chip design and manufacturing teams will become even larger. The cost of these technical personnel may seem insignificant at the moment, but over time, you will realize that the cost is staggering."

When it comes to 85 nanometers, 40 nanometers, 20 nanometers, 10 nanometers, and even single-digit nanometers, the number of transistors integrated in a unit chip will become increasingly terrifying.

As a result, the requirements for related technologies such as chip yield will of course be higher.

But these technologies cannot just fall from the sky.

Therefore, if the vertically integrated manufacturing model is still used, the cost may become even higher.

The larger the company, the more likely it is to have some of the problems of large companies, such as Toshiba.

Although it is highly unlikely that companies affiliated with Harbin Institute of Technology will have the same notorious problems as Toshiba, who can really say for sure?
Ou Wenhui's face turned pale and he bowed his head to admit his mistake.

Wang Duoyu did not continue to dwell on this topic, nor did he try to completely convince them.

In short, Huaxing Chip Company under the foundry model will be reborn.

It doesn’t matter that Morris Chang is unwilling to start a business with Harbin Institute of Technology. It is definitely not Wang Duoyu who will regret it.

As expected, after staying in Ice City for two days, Morris Chang left Ice City in a hurry.

His departure did not cause any ripples.

However, Wang Duoyu still instructed Shang Zhongmin to keep an eye on the other party's movements. He also instructed Shang Zhongmin to wield his shovel and poach technicians from major semiconductor companies. Chips are the future and the most critical component of the upcoming internet boom.

In the mathematics department's office building, early that morning, Wang Duoyu took out two paper documents, handed them to Su Zhenghuai, and instructed:
"Please help me deliver these two papers to Jean Bourgain."

One of these two papers is a paper he had just derived on the complex dynamic system for solving approximate solutions to third-order equations, and the other is a paper on the "Wang Duoyu Geometry Conjecture".

He only completed these two papers in late October, but he published them so quickly. This is inconsistent with his personality.

But in reality, this is his personality.

There was no way. The previous office fire had already reminded him that he could no longer be careless.

Therefore, in addition to storing the manuscripts in copper boxes, he now also makes several copies of the organized paper text and stores them in different copper boxes.

After Su Zhenghuai left, Wang Duoyu took a look at the lonely paper proving the Collatz conjecture left in the box and hesitated for a moment.

After he proved this paper, it has remained shelved to this day.

He hadn't had many ideas left to publish in recent times.

On the other side, at the Ice City Institute of Advanced Studies, Cooper White and Jimmy Irvine passed the assessment and officially became members of the institute.

But they are just intern researchers.

The levels of the Ice City Institute for Advanced Study are mainly divided into intern researchers, assistant researchers, associate researchers and researchers. This institution is now full of talents, and there are more than five-digit researchers who have won the Fields Medal alone.

Anyway, Cooper White and the others saw five people: John Milnor, Shing-Tung Yau, Charles Fefferman, David Bryant Mumford, and Daniel Gray.

It is said that there are also Joseph Cohen, Vladimir Feld, Gerd Faltings and others.

There are also researchers like Alain Connes and Andrew Wiles, who are not Fields Medal winners. In short, there are many talented people here.

There are so many researchers, quite a few associate researchers, and the largest number of assistant researchers. However, there are not many intern researchers.

Because after one or two years, intern researchers will basically be promoted to assistant researchers or even associate researchers.

If you cannot be promoted within a certain period of time, you will be invited to work at Harbin Institute of Technology.

In short, the Ice City Institute for Advanced Study does not keep idle people.

"Hello, colleague. When will Professor Wang hold his monthly math sharing?"

After joining the company, Cooper White immediately asked his colleagues.

"Ha, I knew you wanted to listen to Professor Wang's sharing, but unfortunately, the last sharing session just happened not long ago. The next one will probably be more than 20 days later."

Upon hearing the news, Cooper White and Jimmy Irvine were not disappointed. As long as they could meet Wang Duoyu, it would be good.

But at this moment, a car came outside and stopped in a hurry.

Cooper White, who saw this scene from the window, couldn't help but show curiosity, but his colleague ran out excitedly.

Soon, there was a bustling noise outside.

Because one thing was very obvious, that is, the person who drove the delivery brought good news that made everyone excited.

Wang Duoyu has submitted another paper.

Every time "HIT Mathematical Journal" receives Wang Duoyu's paper manuscript, it will be sent here as soon as possible.

It is only because the Ice City Institute for Advanced Study has such a paper review team, while the Department of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology does not.

For example, today, Shing-Tung Yau and David Bryant are here, not at Harbin Institute of Technology, so there are no papers left for them.

William Thurston was at Harbin Institute of Technology, and he was in the editorial office of the Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematical Journal, discussing a mathematical problem with Jean Bourgain.

Therefore, William Thurston was the first to see the two papers.

“Two papers?”

In the office, everyone who was discussing the matter couldn't help but exclaim in amazement when they learned that they were two papers.

Soon, copies of the paper were distributed to everyone.

After reading it, everyone was amazed.

Just by seeing the titles, they knew that these two papers were not simple.

Although one is the 'Wang Duoyu Geometry Conjecture' paper that raised the problem, the other is a proof paper on complex dynamical systems.

Qiu Chengtong and his colleagues were more interested in this paper on the approximate solution of third-order equations. Of course, from the number of pages it has, we can also feel that this paper is indeed extraordinary.

So a group of them put down their current work and helped review the paper.

To be honest, if it was someone else's paper, they certainly wouldn't be willing to waste their time, but for Wang Duoyu's paper, no matter what they were doing at the time, as long as it was not a very urgent matter, they would put down their work and take a look at Wang Duoyu's paper first.

Cooper White and his colleagues didn't know what had happened until their colleagues came back, only then did they learn that Wang Duoyu had written two more papers.

"Why?" Jimmy Irwin asked in confusion. The intern researcher asked back:
"what why?"

Jimmy Irvine said:
"I don't understand. Professor Wang Duoyu only wrote two papers. Why is everyone so excited?"

"You're also engaged in theoretical mathematical research. Don't you know that Professor Wang's research papers represent the most cutting-edge developments in mathematics? His papers have been of great help to many researchers. Moreover, if he has already completed research in this field, and you happen to be researching in the same field, would you still continue your research?"

Makes sense!
If they don't change their research direction, they are likely to run into big problems.

It's very simple. Once Wang Duoyu has really produced scientific research results, other researchers in this field must change their research direction.

The one who is close to the water gets the moon first. This is one of the reasons why the Ice City Institute for Advanced Study has so many Fields Medal winners. Everyone can know about Wang Duoyu’s research papers first, avoiding more sunk costs.

Cooper White and Jimmy Irvine were speechless.

People they also need to look up to, such as Shing-Tung Yau and Charles Fefferman, also seem to admire Wang Duoyu very much.

Even though Shing-Tung Yau and others were the review team for Wang Duoyu's paper, from a realistic perspective, Wang Duoyu is a person of another level, higher than people like Shing-Tung Yau.

He is truly worthy of being the Emperor of Mathematics. Wang Duoyu's position is indeed far beyond the imagination of Cooper-White and others.

While they were marveling at each other, Wang Duoyu had already completed the key steps in his deduction in his office.

This is a paper proving the reciprocity conjecture, which proves that Langlands' conjecture holds on the field of algebraic curve functions with positive characteristics, thus establishing a new connection between the two major fields of number theory and analysis, which is actually the establishment of the Langlands correspondence.

It is still in manuscript stage. He only proved the key step of "for the general linear group Gr(r≥1) on the function field, there exists a Weil-preserving L-number-wise one-to-one correspondence". The detailed process has not been completed yet.

Of course, for Wang Duoyu, if the key steps have been completed, then there will be no problem with the entire paper.

The most difficult parts have been deduced, so can the other small problems still be called problems?
"Well, I'll spend the next week finishing this paper. I hope I can finish it."

Wang Duoyu muttered to himself, then continued to work.

But at this time, there are always unexpected things happening.

"What? Big brother fell down?"

At this time in the afternoon, he received a call from his hometown. His elder brother Wang Shoucheng had fallen down in his hometown and it seemed that the injury was quite serious.

The old man was injured after falling, and his eldest brother suffered a head injury this time, so there is a high possibility of increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke.

In rural areas, many elderly people look very healthy on a daily basis, with rosy and shiny complexions, and they seem as if they can live to be over 70 or 80 years old.

However, once you fall, it is easy for something to happen to you, and you may even die within a few days.

So this kind of thing must be taken seriously.

"Send him to Bingcheng immediately, don't send him to the county seat. I'll call the county doctor."

After hearing the news, Wang Duoyu did not dare to delay and made arrangements immediately.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Duoyu immediately made a few more calls and started making various arrangements.

It is now mid-to-late December, and the weather in the ice city is freezing cold.

Fortunately, because of Want Want Group and its relationship with the development of the breeding economy in Dahonggou Village, the Wang family often has several transport trucks.

So having a car like this can help him get his elder brother to Ice City more quickly.

First arrange for a doctor from the county town to follow the car, so that he can help if there is any emergency on the road.

But to be honest, the level of doctors in the county is indeed limited.

His eldest brother was already 57 years old in 1978. Now it is the end of 1984. In other words, his eldest brother is already 63 years old.

If it was in the previous life, sixty years old would not be old.

You know, there are many elderly people in their seventies in Japan who need to take care of their ninety-year-old parents, and they also need to provide financial assistance to their sons and grandchildren.

Wang Duoyu had seen such a documentary in his previous life. Although he also thought that a 70-year-old man was very old, he had to admire the fact that he was able to take good care of his 90-year-old parents.

This is not longevity, this is sadness.

Even though he has savings equivalent to over one million RMB, this 70-year-old man still dares not stop and needs to continue working.

If it’s not sadness, then what is it?
If it's something like Li Huanggua, that's another story.

After all, Li Huanggua is almost a hundred years old, but he is still very energetic and walks more vigorously than those people in their seventies. He is really awesome.

Among the four major families in Hong Kong Island, Li Huanggua successfully outlasted his fourth uncle, Cheng Yutong and Guo Desheng, and he was the only one who had the last laugh.

If Li Huanggua had a fall like this, he would not have suffered a stroke.

For example, the gambling king Stanley Ho fell down and had to sit in a wheelchair, but he lived to be almost ninety-nine years old, which was a very old age.

However, if an ordinary person falls and cannot receive timely and accurate treatment, the risk of death will be very serious.

Life is unpredictable, it is either the Black Impermanence or the White Impermanence.

Having money and having no money are two completely different lives.

As Wang Duoyu made the call, many people began to take action.

His elder brother Wang Shoucheng is already 63 years old. Wang Duoyu’s relationship with him is not that close, but the Wang family is a big family that is supported by this elder brother.

Especially when Wang Duoyu's parents passed away, if it weren't for Wang Shoucheng, the Wang family would have broken up.

The bigger the family, the more conflicts there are, especially in rural areas, where it is not uncommon for brothers to fight each other.

Obviously, there is no heir to the throne in rural areas, and raising children is just to provide for old age. But if there are too many people, resource allocation will become a problem.

For example, could the betrothal gift when Wang Duoyu got married be the same as the betrothal gift when his elder brother got married?

They are completely two different eras, a generation apart, that’s thirty years.

So in this regard, there is no way to be fair.

No matter what his relationship with his eldest brother is, if it weren't for his eldest brother, the Wang family wouldn't be where it is today.

He, his two younger sisters, and his younger brother Wang Duoshi all grew up successfully thanks to the help of his eldest and third brothers.

It is reasonable and necessary for Wang Duoyu to help.

"Duoyu, I heard your brother fell down? Is he okay?"

In less than two hours, Liu Deben appeared in front of Wang Duoyu and showed concern for the matter.

"I don't know either, except that it's very serious."

Wang Duoyu shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Secretary, what can I do for you?"

"Well, it's already the end of the year, and New Year's Day will be here in a while."

Liu Deben was not talking nonsense, but reminding Wang Duoyu that time was passing quickly and the final of the National College Student Modeling Competition was coming soon. As the initiator of this project, shouldn't he attend it?
"Okay, I understand. It's on the 12th of next month, right? I will attend then," Wang Duoyu nodded.

Wang Duoyu is also very clear about this competition.

This project was launched in August last year, but the first session was not very successful. It can be said that only Harbin Institute of Technology, Peking University, Tsinghua University, Fudan University and other universities were playing around.

Other universities simply cannot participate.

It’s not that I can’t participate, but I don’t have the ability.

Take computers for example. All students at Harbin Institute of Technology can touch a computer.

Several departments, such as the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Information Science and Engineering, have one computer for each student.

The most important thing is that these computers are updated every six months.

In contrast, other universities, such as some very ordinary universities, only have one or two computers on campus, and the key point is that these computers are products of the 1960s and 1970s.

How does this compare?
There is no way to compare!

So when the first National Modeling Competition was held, everyone realized this problem and planned to hold a good one this year.

Teaching resources cannot be distributed evenly, but many resources can still be distributed well.

Harbin Institute of Technology took the lead and took the initiative to donate 1,000 computers to universities in need, of course, this was not without conditions.

We can’t let Harbin Institute of Technology spend money for nothing, right?

This year's second session looks better. At least it's not just a few universities like Peking University that are "fighting each other."

The reason why Wang Duoyu actively promoted these competitions was naturally to discover more talents and allow those originally poor "geniuses" to grow smoothly.

Before we finished discussing this matter, the two brothers Wang Xiangtong and Wang Xiangkang came to the office door in a hurry.

"Uncle Nine!"

The two brothers cried out with sad faces.

Their father fell down. No matter what the reason was, saving him was the most important thing.

"I see. I've made all the arrangements. I hope everything will be in time. Don't overthink it. If you have the time, just drive over and pick them up. Remember to keep your phone open."

Hearing Wang Duoyu's words, Wang Xiangtong immediately said:
"Seventh and Youngest have already driven there, and Jianfei and his group are following too. There are three cars in total."

Old Wang’s family has many relatives. Without mentioning his other brothers and sisters, or his third brother’s family who has the Four Heavenly Kings, let’s just talk about his eldest brother Wang Duoyu.

In addition to the little nephew Wang Xiangdong, there are the eldest son Wang Xiangqian, the second son Wang Xiangtong, the third son Wang Xiaoai, the fourth son Wang Xianghua, the fifth son Wang Xiangkang, the sixth son Wang Xiaoqin, and the seventh son Wang Xiangjun.

In other words, his eldest brother's family has eight brothers and sisters, six boys and two daughters, which is extremely powerful.

The most important thing is that Wang Xiangqian’s eldest nephew’s eldest son is already 21 years old this year.

Wang Duoyu is only 28 years old this year, only seven years older than this "eldest grandson".

Even his eldest nephew is several years older than him, so it is not unusual to say that Old Wang's family has so many people.
