Chapter 273, Zhu Ling: Are you jealous?

Although this is a sports brand that has only been established for a short time, its product range is quite rich.

Since Yuebu spent a lot of money on advertising and offered many discounts during the Christmas shopping festival, its revenue was also very terrifying.

Yuebu currently has a total of 162 stores in the United States. After nearly seven months on the market, the average daily revenue of each store is US$7,280.

Although the average daily revenue per store is not as high as the $7,800 it generated when the store first opened, there are peak and off-peak seasons throughout the year. Furthermore, there were only 50 stores in July, but now there are 162.

The increase in the number of stores cannot be achieved in one day, so the total revenue of US$239 million for the whole year naturally needs to be evenly divided.

Being able to achieve a revenue of 239 million US dollars in more than half a year is already very impressive.

After Wei Ruolai finished his report, Xue Lisheng, Qu Haiping and Liang Shengzhi remained silent.

It can be seen from the expressions of the three of them that they are indeed extremely envious.

Wen Shixuan, the person in charge of the Red Star Steel Plant, was stunned when he heard this.

Wang Duoyu had just started working on four companies, namely Pandora, Xibel, Yuebu and Muscle Shark, in early 1984, all of which were overseas companies.

But no one would have expected that among these four companies, even the inconspicuous Shark had achieved a revenue of 10 million US dollars in half a year.

The nickname of Midas Touch is indeed not for nothing.

Next, Wen Shixuan is more looking forward to the revenue of the two companies, Youma Clothing and Pandora.

But before Zheng Baoyin and Wang Jianchao report on their work, Wen Shixuan has to report first today.

"Professor Wang, everyone, our Red Star Steel Plant's total revenue over the past 84 years was 30.72 million RMB, but its total profit was negative 17.2 million RMB."

The failure to achieve a break-even point was not because the Red Star Steel Plant could not make money, but because the steel plant had invested in many projects.

The addition of furnaces, the expansion of the power plant, and the purchase of a lot of equipment turned the steel plant's profits into negative territory.

But even so, the Red Star Steel Plant still has a promising future.

What Wang Duoyu likes most is that they have applied for a total of twelve patented technologies in the past year, half of which can be applied to the metal materials of the Mach 5 fighter project.

This makes Wang Duoyu happier than the money earned by companies like Pandora and Yuebu.

Perhaps he should set up a private laboratory specializing in scientific and technological research and development projects in cutting-edge materials. In this way, he can also speed up the development progress of the Mach 5 fighter project.

After all, companies like Youma Clothing have earned so much foreign exchange, and starting next year, these companies will continue to earn more foreign exchange. By then, this money will definitely have to be spent. It is better to start spending some of the funds now.

Private laboratories are definitely very expensive. Not to mention cutting-edge research in physics such as quantum mechanics, even the research and development of materials technology requires the purchase of a lot of cutting-edge equipment.

Most of the equipment can only be imported from abroad, and there is currently no way to produce it domestically.

It’s not that Wang Duoyu doesn’t want to support domestic products, but there is currently no way to support them.

It’s one thing to think about, but you still need to plan carefully how to do it.

After Wen Shixuan finished his report, Wang Duoyu praised him a few words and ended the topic. Then it was Wang Jianchao's turn.

"Uncle Jiu, our Pandora has been..."

Pandora made a lot of money during the half-month Christmas shopping carnival, which is really gratifying.

To be honest, the three figures of 30,000 new users, membership fees exceeding 300 million US dollars and revenue of more than 90 million US dollars are very explosive.

Among high-end brands, Pandora is probably the only one that has achieved this.

Small gifts such as gold watches, luxury perfumes, and essence skin care products can be given away at will. Even the top luxury brand stores probably wouldn’t dare to do this, right?

Pandora is not afraid of losing its image because its marketing is very good. Secondly, it is Christmas shopping season, a traditional peak sales season. If it does not carry out a wave of marketing, it would be a waste of such a God-given opportunity.

That’s why we have such outstanding results.

But as a high-end brand, Pandora is destined to not always have such good revenue.

Compared with the average daily revenue of US$125,400 per store at the end of the year and the average daily revenue of US$46,000 per store in the early days of opening in May and June, the average daily revenue per store for the whole year was only US$36,200.

Not high, but not low either.

Like Yuebu and others, Pandora has been operating for about seven months and currently has a total of 52 stores across the United States.

So Pandora's total revenue is US$386 million, much higher than Yuebu's US$239 million.

But compared with the Uma clothing brand, it is definitely much worse.

With such good revenue data, its profits are also impressive, but its marketing costs in advertising and other aspects are much higher than Yuebu's.

A gold watch is just a small trinket, given as a gift.

Pure gold perfume bottle caps and other small gold accessories, etc., the investment in small gifts alone cost nearly 10 million US dollars, and taking into account the investment in marketing and other aspects, the total amount is 50 million US dollars.

After all, there will be no shortage of celebrity endorsements, investments in fashion shows, and hard advertising investments in Times Square and other areas.

Otherwise, where will the revenue and new users come from?
The butterfly can’t just come by itself, right?

Such a large advertising investment is something that no other brand can do, so Pandora has been able to achieve such impressive revenue in such a short period of time.

Only by giving up can you gain!

"Well done, Jianchao, you did a great job."

After Wang Jianchao finished his report, Wang Duoyu summarized.

It is surprising that Pandora, as a high-end brand, can achieve such high revenue.

But it is also reasonable.

As long as we can break through the siege in Europe and the United States, things will be much better.

However, the United States is the world's largest economy after all, so it can achieve such exaggerated revenue. I am afraid that Europe and Japan may not be able to achieve such revenue.

Whether it works or not, we will have to wait and see after we try it.

Wang Jianchao said a few humble words, and then it was finally Zheng Baoyin's turn.

Everyone has high hopes for Youma Clothing. After all, last year the company's foreign exchange revenue reached US$291.8 million, and its domestic revenue also reached RMB 330 million.

It can be said to be the number one among domestic private enterprises.

"Our Youma Garment Factory's total annual revenue in China is 487 million RMB, an increase of 157 million RMB compared to the year before."

As Zheng Baoyin's voice rang out, everyone couldn't help but take a breath.

Before today, Wang Jianchao and his colleagues roughly knew the revenue data of Youma Clothing in the United States, but not the detailed data, and they had no idea about the data in China.

I thought that the business here would be mediocre despite the success abroad, but I didn't expect it to develop so rapidly.

However, as Zheng Baoyin said, everyone also knew that the number of Youma Clothing stores in China was also expanding rapidly.

Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Wuhan and other cities have all added a lot of new stores, especially Guangzhou, because it is the southern gate and there are many merchants traveling back and forth from the south to the north.

Therefore, Guangzhou's performance is only second to Shanghai, and is better than other cities such as Beijing.

Let’s not talk about the city of Shanghai, because this city is not only populous but also has a bohemian atmosphere.

Well, that's nice to hear.

To put it bluntly, this city prefers imported products.

This is what is commonly known as worshipping foreign things and fawning on foreigners.

There is no way around it, this is determined by history.

This has been the case since the late Qing Dynasty, and it was further developed during the Republic of China era.

Yuma clothing is so popular abroad, and many people in Shanghai certainly know about it. Naturally, Yuma clothing's performance in Shanghai must be very good.

No matter how hard Guangzhou tries to catch up, it will be difficult.

"Overseas revenue is divided into four parts, with the US market being the largest. The total revenue for the year was US$250-260 million, which is not as much as Pandora."

When he said this, Zheng Baoyin laughed at himself.

Liang Shengzhi and others: "."

To borrow a phrase from Wang Duoyu: Versailles!

In the US market alone, it has achieved revenue of US$256 million. Although in fact it is indeed not as good as Pandora, after all, the unit price of Uma clothing is less than US$50. The revenue of US$256 million also means that more than 5 million pieces of clothing were sold in the US market throughout the year.

Pretty awesome!
Moreover, Youma Clothing held so many promotional activities during peak seasons such as the Christmas shopping carnival, and the actual number of clothing sold was definitely more than five million pieces.

"The European market isn't doing very well, with revenue just breaking $100 million, for a total annual revenue of $108 million."

After hearing what Zheng Baoyin said, Qu Haiping, Liang Shengzhi, Wen Shixuan and others wanted to beat him up.

What do you mean it’s not doing so well, and then the annual revenue reached 108 billion US dollars?

Depend on!
In addition to the US and European markets, the Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern markets have a combined revenue of US$2,000.

The Japanese market was somewhat unexpected, almost breaking through 200 million US dollars, with total annual revenue of 199 billion US dollars.

quiet!
The study was exceptionally quiet, and everyone was a little surprised. After all, the Japanese market was indeed quite formidable, and it was actually able to achieve a revenue of 199 billion US dollars.

As we all know, Japan is the world's second largest economy. Everyone knows that this place is very rich, but no one knows how rich it is.

In the past one or two years, some media have called for the purchase of New York.

So there is a reason why Japan has such a good economy.

However, the revenue of 199 billion US dollars scared Qu Haiping and others.

Everyone counted silently on their fingers for a while, and the total revenue data of the global overseas market was soon obtained.

Five hundred and eighty-three million dollars!
The revenue data is so scary that it makes everyone stunned.

However, Zheng Baoyin was shocked again when he heard that their Youma Clothing's profit was only three million US dollars.

"Why is the profit only $32 million?"

Wen Shixuan and others were puzzled, but Wang Duoyu knew, and Wang Jianchao and others also had a rough guess.

Because this profit refers to the book profit, not the actual profit.

There are two reasons for this. First, most of the funds are invested in the Japanese market, used to purchase houses, shops, etc., or to invest in the Japanese stock market.

This part of funds is the largest investment sector, and it can be said that most of the profits are drawn here.

The second point is that Youma Clothing withdrew funds for "borrowing", or investing in the four companies of Pandora, Yuebu, Muscle Shark and Xibel.

These funds have not been "returned" yet, so there is no way to settle the accounts, so the current book profit is indeed only this much.

Wang Duoyu led the applause and everyone followed suit.

"Well done, you all did a great job. You have all made an invaluable contribution to the growth of Want Want Group to its current size."

"I won't talk about Baoyin and Jianchao, you've been following me since the beginning and are also shareholders of the group."

"But for the other five of you, as long as you work hard and earnestly, I will submit this proposal to the shareholders' meeting in the future. I will then give you shares or equity. The specifics will depend on whether you can perform well in the next five years."

"Economic development is the priority these days, and Want Want Group relies on its strength. Revenue has never been the primary criterion; profits and other factors are the most crucial data."

"Whatever support you want, I will give it to you as much as possible."

In the following time, Wang Duoyu explained his own plans and task arrangements for the subsidiaries of Want Want Group.

The six companies, Pandora, Uma, Yuebu, Muscle Shark, Babos and Sibel, will continue to work hard to become the cash cows of Want Want Group.

However, next year will be 1985, and by then a larger portion of the group's profits will be invested in the Japanese and global markets.

It is mainly used for financial investment.

In addition to this, there is the Red Star Steel Plant. The requirements of this company are also very simple, focusing on scientific and technological research and development, supplemented by achieving a balance between income and expenditure.

In other words, making money is not Wen Shixuan's main task.

"Also, next year I will establish a financial investment company that will be fully responsible for the group's internal financial investment business."

Wang Duoyu continued:

"In addition to investing in companies, I will also set up a large laboratory and establish laboratories in the United States, Europe, and Japan."

These three laboratories abroad are mainly controlled by Archipelago Investment Holding, which recruits local scientists at high salaries and focuses on researching cutting-edge technologies.

It is not theoretical scientific research, but applied technology.

For example, when it comes to cutting-edge technologies such as quantum mechanics, materials science, and biology, Wang Duoyu would not let these scientists, receiving high salaries, do such ridiculous things as counting how many pine trees there are in this area of ​​the United States every day.

What you are doing must be cutting-edge technology. Once you invest money, there must be output. Otherwise, the legal team and accounting team will definitely cause trouble for these people.

After all, Wang Duoyu's money didn't come from the wind.

In addition to these cutting-edge technologies, we also study the "technology" in clothing technology, clothing materials, etc.

The latter is not the point; quantum mechanics and other things are the key.

After hearing what Wang Duoyu said, Zheng Baoyin and Wang Jianchao suddenly understood.

They knew that their uncle would not let Want Want Group go forever and that he must have a purpose.

Now, we are going to set up a laboratory, and not just a large laboratory in the country. Wang Duoyu also said that it must be a world-class laboratory.

No one really understands what a world-class laboratory is, but I think it must be good.

Wang Duoyu gave a brief introduction. This financial company will be named Maple Leaf Holdings. The person in charge will be recruited from Wall Street, but the actual person in charge will be him, Wang Duoyu.

In addition, the two sisters Wang Meili and Wang Meihe will issue orders on behalf of Wang Duoyu.

As for the names of the four laboratories, Wang Duoyu has not decided yet and will talk about it later.

At this time, there was a knock on the study door. It was obvious that time passed very quickly. Before we knew it, the one-year-old birthday party was about to begin and everyone should go to the cafeteria.

"Brother Jiu, are you still working? It's already half past six, let's go."

“Okay, we’ll be there soon.”

After Wang Duoyu finished speaking, Wang Meihe gently closed the door and left.

The study fell into silence again. Wang Duoyu looked at Zheng Baoyin and the other seven people and said:
"That concludes our Want Want Group's year-end summary for last year. I'll discuss next year's detailed plans with you in a few days. It's getting late now, so let's go eat first."

Everyone responded in unison.

At the door, Liu Xiaoli and the others had already packed up and were ready to go to the cafeteria.

At this time, Zhu Ling was talking to Wang Junhong. When she saw Wang Duoyu and the others coming out, she stood up and walked over with the little guy.

"You don't seem to welcome me. You clearly saw me just now, but you walked into the study without even saying hello."

Wang Duoyu: “.”

After ignoring Zhu Ling, Wang Duoyu looked at the little guy and said:
"Let's go to the cafeteria now. Will you come with me or your little mother?"

"Daddy, I want to be with little mommy."

"it is good!"

After nodding, Wang Duoyu left first.

Zhu Ling was initially quite angry at being ignored, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that there was nothing to be angry about.

She should even be happy.

Harbin Institute of Technology cafeteria, there are quite a few people here today.

Everyone knows that Wang Duoyu booked the third floor of the cafeteria as the venue for today's birthday party. The scene was decorated very beautifully. Not only were there a large number of floor-to-ceiling windows that allowed you to see the scenery outside, but the house was also warm as summer.

These floor-to-ceiling windows are not single-layer, but triple-layer windows, which are quite thick.

On the campus of Harbin Institute of Technology, the walls of new buildings built after 1980 are all over 100 centimeters thick, which is very thick.

As we all know, the wall thickness of most multi-story buildings in the north is about 24 centimeters. The wall thickness of some brick-concrete structures can reach 37 to 50 centimeters. The outer wall of the frame structure is 24 centimeters, and the inner wall thickness is generally 12 to 24 centimeters.

So the thickness of the building walls at Harbin Institute of Technology exceeds 100 centimeters, which is indeed a bit outrageous.

Therefore, even if there is no heating indoors, the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors is very large, and there will be no fog or anything like that on the glass.

Wang Duoyu chatted with Qiu Chengtong, Liu Deben, Wu Congxin and others, and greeted Yuan Jigang, Zhu Hanting and others. In short, he was very busy.

John Milnor, Charles Fefferman, Daniel Gray and others also came. It was impossible for them not to come, not only because of Wang Duoyu, but also because they were foreigners themselves and were more keen to attend these gatherings.

Especially Americans, they would hold a party even if they bought a pet dog. They are a complete party nation.

In China, the only banquets we attend are birthday parties, wedding banquets, and full-month celebrations for children. Sometimes we only attend a few banquets a year, but sometimes we don't even attend one. For example, if a family member has a funeral, we might not be able to attend banquets with friends and family for the next six months, a year, or even several years.

As time went by, the one-year-old birthday party officially began. The little guy Wang Junan could already walk by himself and could walk steadily without the support of an adult.

So when the little guy was asked to grab the birthday cake by himself, he was very sensible and caught it quickly.

The ceremony of grabbing the week-old baby was completed quickly, and everyone applauded and cheered.

Next is the meal.

Today, the chefs in the Harbin Institute of Technology cafeteria tried their best to prepare delicious meals for every table.

Each table has nine dishes, which symbolizes longevity, health, peace and longevity.

Of course, it seems like there are nine dishes, but in fact, each dish is very large.

It's not one of those big Michelin plates with tiny portions.

The large plate is filled with dishes of enormous portions, and the key is that it is not just a single dish.

So although it is said to be nine dishes, there are actually more than eighteen.

"Professor Wang, what kind of wine is this? I can hardly smell the alcohol, but it tastes delicious. After drinking a glass of it, it's very fragrant."

At the deputy main table next to him, Smeal, who was drinking the cellared Moutai for the first time, was immediately surprised. He quickly stood up and went to Wang Duoyu to ask.

Smel only came to Ice City at the end of December. At that time, Wang Duoyu had just left Ice City, so he came back empty-handed.

Knowing that Wang Duoyu would hold a first birthday party for his second son on January 9th, he simply did not rush back to the United States.

The main reason for coming to Bingcheng this time was because of the paper Wang Duoyu had published before, and he had to come and ask about it.

If this continues, the May report meeting might be extended by one or two days.

It’s because Wang Duoyu has published so many papers, it’s really terrifying.

"This is cellared liquor, you are lucky." Before Wang Duoyu could say anything, Liu Deben next to him started to explain.

Smell only understood what the so-called cellared liquor meant after others explained it clearly.

Moutai liquor that has been stored in the cellar for twenty-five years is a good thing.

Wang Duoyu brought back more than 400 bottles before. He definitely couldn't finish them all by himself. If he kept them and drank them slowly, it would take several years.

So at some important moments, he would take out a few bottles.

Anyway, as long as you stay healthy and have a few drinks moderately, there's no problem.

Wang Duoyu is a person who is strict with himself, so he doesn't care about the amount of alcohol he drinks, just moderate drinking is enough.

As a human being, we need to be content with what we have.

"Do you have any more wine like this? Can I buy a few bottles from you?"

After listening to this, Smel took another sip, but when he wanted to drink more, he found that it was gone.

Because each table has one bottle, and there are five tables for the main table and the secondary table, there are a total of five bottles of such cellared wine, which is not a small number.

Although Wang Duoyu is generous, he is not generous even if he is poor.

"Don't even think about it. How could I possibly sell it to you? Even if it were available, it wouldn't be your turn."

David Bryant Mandelford interrupted at this time.

He stayed in Bingcheng, not only as a researcher at Bingcheng Institute of Advanced Studies, but also as a professor in the Department of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology, supervising master's and doctoral students.

Even though he worked so hard, Wang Duoyu never sold him the cellared wine.

Besides, Smale only came to Ice City frequently. He was not a full-time professor at Harbin Institute of Technology, so it was even more impossible for him to enjoy such preferential treatment.

It seems that there is nothing good in China, but in fact, if you stay there for a long time, you will find that there are more good things here than you can imagine.

In the field of food, the United States is not a food desert, but compared to China, it is just a younger brother.

The cafeteria of Harbin Institute of Technology has attracted more and more chefs with superb cooking skills and has begun to take a more high-end route.

The eight major cuisines, Manchu-Han banquet, Northeastern cuisine, local specialties, etc. can all be found in the Harbin Institute of Technology cafeteria. It can be said that it has everything.

The dishes for today’s first birthday party are not what you have eaten before, because they are all innovative dishes.

Maybe you have eaten the ingredients before, but the taste and texture are definitely innovative.

Just the daily food area was enough to surprise David and his group, let alone other things.

In terms of weight management, David gained 30 kilograms in less than two years.

And this is when he is "controlling his weight", otherwise, his weight would increase even faster.

Why do John Milnor and others like to stay at the Ice City Institute for Advanced Study for a long time?
Because the food styles and flavors there are not as rich as those at Harbin Institute of Technology, they live in a "hard" environment there and can just come to Harbin Institute of Technology occasionally to improve their meals.

Otherwise, you will really become fat.

In addition to food, there are also fine wines and other things. In short, David likes Ice City more and more and can't leave this city.

Seeing this, Smel couldn't help but shake his head regretfully.

It’s a pity that I could only have two sips of such delicious wine.

Wang Duoyu smiled and said nothing.

There were so many people there, he couldn't really give Smale a bottle or two of wine, right?

If I give this to you, I can’t give it to anyone else, so the best thing to do is to keep silent.

After five dishes and three rounds of wine, it was almost over at this time.

A banquet cannot last very late. After nine o'clock, everyone is about to leave.

Unlike the city of Guangzhou, where midnight snacks haven’t even started until after 9pm.

After ten o'clock, it is time for supper.

After seeing off most of the guests, Wang Duoyu and the others prepared to return to the villa.

At this time, Wang Duoyu saw Zhu Ling coming in front of him and whispered:

"I noticed that my son seems to be growing a little crooked. Haven't you talked to him about it?"

Wang Duoyu: “.”

He frowned and glanced at Wang Junhong who was laughing and playing. After a moment of silence, Wang Duoyu said:

"What do you want to say?"

"Talking here? Aren't you afraid your son might hear you?"

Zhu Ling raised her eyebrows, and Wang Duoyu took the initiative to come to the floor-to-ceiling window next to her.

At this time, snowflakes were falling outside, and it was obvious that it had started snowing heavily again.

The passage of the Siberian cold wind group brought a large amount of cold air, making the Ice City more and more like an ice city.

But the ice and snow outside have nothing to do with the interior because they can't get in.

At this time, Wang Junhong and the other little guys were only wearing one piece of clothing. They were chasing and playing, and you could even see them sweating profusely.

"What do you want to say? Say it here!"

"Okay, let's talk about it here!" Zhu Ling curled her lips and said:

"I told you I'd get married at the end of the year, and you're really not coming? It would be fine if you didn't come, but you actually went to Guangzhou for a trip. Haha, isn't Guangzhou fun?"

Wang Duoyu heard this and snorted coldly:

"Stop talking nonsense. I'm not interested in knowing your affairs. Besides, I said we won't be attending your wedding. The meaning is very clear. Tell me, why did Jun Hong grow crooked?"

Zhu Ling didn't tell anyone about the crooked thing. She just used this incident to trick Wang Duoyu over. Otherwise, how could she chat with him privately?
"Are you angry? Or jealous? When I came into the villa just now, your face was not right. You were also angry with Liu Xiaoli, right?"

"Hey, even if you don't say anything, I can guess that you still have me in your heart, right?"

"Don't be so self-indulgent!" Wang Duoyu snorted, "You won't tell me, right? If you don't tell me, I'm leaving!"

"I'm not married, I was just lying to you. Seriously, you can't even take a joke."

Wang Duoyu: “.”

This time, he was truly speechless.

Liu Xiaoli likes to joke, does Zhu Ling like to joke too?
Besides, are these two really joking?
Although Wang Duoyu is too lazy to delve into these things, don't treat him as a fool.

"Just play with yourself!" Wang Duoyu was too lazy to pay attention to Zhu Ling anymore, and his face turned completely dark.

"It's inexplicable, self-indulgent, and irrational. It's a complete waste of my time and life!"

After saying that, Wang Duoyu turned and left.

He didn't want to bother with this woman anymore. She was really incomprehensible.

However, Zhu Ling laughed when she saw his 'furious' look.

The first birthday party soon became a thing of the past. From today on, Wang Junan was a one-year-old child.

After returning to the villa, Liu Xiaoli counted the red envelopes and gifts with great interest.

Although these red envelopes were favors and would definitely have to be returned in the future, to be honest, even though she had seen the financial resources of the people around Wang Duoyu several times, she was still surprised this time.

Sisters Wang Meili and Wang Meihe were both helping, but the four little ones including Wang Junhong had already fallen asleep.

The four children had fun all day long today. As soon as the one-year-old birthday party ended, they were already very sleepy.

I returned to the villa early, took a shower, and fell asleep in seconds, and couldn't open my eyes again.

Because of this, Liu Xiaoli and others had time to sort out the gifts.

There is a name behind each red envelope, and there are also red envelopes without names.

Anyway, no matter what, just record it all.

"You guys look so happy, do you have a lot of red envelopes?"

Wang Duoyu, who had just walked in, saw how excited they were and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Wang Duoyu usually doesn't pay much attention to the little things in life, let alone things involving money, which he pays even less attention to.

How much can this little money really mean?
For example, last time, Liu Xiaoli and her colleagues brought back a lot of letters from readers from the Beijing Literature and Art Center, and the "rewards" they received from the readers amounted to 12,325 yuan.

The amount of money was a lot, but when Wang Duoyu found out about it, he was not surprised.

Although it was a lot of money, it was no surprise to Wang Duoyu.

In the end, the way to deal with this money was the same as usual, and it was handed over to Liu Xiaoli.

There are tens of millions of poor people in the country, and it is not impossible to donate money now, but Wang Duoyu simply does not have the time and energy to deal with this matter.

It doesn't matter if it's a thankless task, otherwise you may end up doing something bad with good intentions.

Because, most of the time, we can just let Harbin Institute of Technology handle it.

Doing good deeds doesn't necessarily mean you have to do it yourself.

Want Want Group's Babos Watch Factory and Youma Garment Factory have opened so many stores across the country, hired so many workers, created many jobs, and created a lot of wealth. This is true good deeds.

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."

With the current scale of Want Want Group, although it cannot be considered truly "big", when it comes to doing good deeds, it certainly does not mean giving money directly, but doing it in other ways.

It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Our ancestors have summarized many things very well.

"Not much, hey, guess how many there are?"

Liu Xiaoli and the others were laughing, but Wang Duoyu didn't guess and got up to take a shower.

"."

After coming out of the shower, Liu Xiaoli and the others took the initiative to tell him the result. The total amount of the red envelopes was 21,300 RMB and 3,228 USD.

There are both zero and whole numbers, and there are also foreign currencies such as US dollars.

Having foreign exchange is not a strange thing, but the high amount is what surprised Wang Duoyu.

"Are they all so rich? And are they so willing to spend so much?"

"Brother, have you forgotten your own influence? In my opinion, this is not enough," Wang Meili said proudly.

Wang Duoyu: "Go and rest quickly, it's very late."

Really boring!
The next morning, Wang Duoyu went out early, so when Zhu Ling came over, she didn't see him.

Zhu Ling was a little depressed, but she thought to herself, he would definitely come back for lunch, right?

In the laboratory of the experimental building, Wang Duoyu was chatting with the R&D personnel of Excellence Technology Company.

Today, Zhuoyue Technology came up with an application software that he wanted. This is a program software that can be directly used on the Powerbook laptop computer. It is a very good office software.

The Powerbook product does not require much technological research and development. It only requires the integration and adjustment of some existing technological advances of Harbin Institute of Technology, and it can basically be pieced together.

For example, the Nuwa system needs to be deleted, and a lot of unnecessary program codes need to be deleted to prevent the program from taking up too much computer memory space.

Some technologies just need to be added, deleted, subtracted or patched, and a brand new Powerbook personal laptop can be completed soon.

Although there is nothing to brag about in terms of technological innovation, the most crucial point is cost control.

From the current perspective, it is almost completed.

"So when will you be able to produce a mass-produced product that meets the requirements?"

After talking about the application, Wang Duoyu looked at Yang Deyong and the others very directly and asked straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, Yang Deyong, Gu Jianguo, Wu Haitao, Qi Guopeng and others frowned and fell into deep thought.

The last time, after Wang Duoyu scolded them, they finally settled down to do their work without any hesitation.

This group of young people have a lot of ideas, but they are not calm enough and their thoughts are too unconventional.

I always like to let my imagination run wild.

To be exact, Wang Duoyu also knew that they were more suitable for doing scientific research in the research institute than staying in Zhuoyue Technology, but in a short period of time, Wang Duoyu could not find suitable replacements.

So we can only let them continue to stay in Excellence Technology.

"Professor Wang, let's try to hurry up, but at the current rate, we won't be able to do it until early February at the latest."

Wang Duoyu nodded and said:

"Okay, no problem, I can give you this time, but you also have to know that the market will not wait for you, so you have to act as soon as possible."

"You've all heard of Moore's Law. Computer technology updates and iterations are incredibly rapid. In the short term, we at Excellence Technology don't need to worry about these technical issues, but what about three to five years from now?"

"So don't think I'm stifling your ideas and preventing you from expressing them freely."

"But you also have to understand one thing: even when you're studying for a doctorate or master's degree in the United States, will your advisor really let you express yourself freely without any scruples?"

"So I don't care what method you use, just complete the current technical adjustments as soon as possible. I need to see Powerbook computers with low enough costs, not that there is no way to reduce the cost."

That’s about all I have to say. Just stop here.

We are all smart people, there is no need to make things so clear and thorough.

It was half an hour later when Wang Duoyu came out of the office.

At this time, Su Zhenghuai quickly stepped forward and said:
"Professor, Secretary Liu just called and asked you to go to the administration building."

"Well, I see!"

Wang Duoyu didn't ask what the matter was. Since Liu Deben didn't say anything, it must be inappropriate to say it. He would know when he got there.

Soon he arrived at the secretary's office, and after entering, he saw Tong Jianwei, the top leader of Bingcheng.

As his mind raced, Wang Duoyu was guessing the other party's purpose for coming here.

"Professor Wang, long time no see."

Yesterday was his child’s first birthday party. Wang Duoyu sent an invitation to the other party, but the other party did not come. He just asked someone to send a gift.
