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

At the dinner table, Wang Duoyu quietly picked up a piece of chicken leg meat, teased the child from time to time, and occasionally glanced at the news program.

Even when his daughter mentioned album sales, he just casually said "oh" and that was it.

Does he not know what Wang Yifei is up to?

However, after Bai Doufu took over the conversation, Wang Duoyu was even more happy to have some free time.

"I'm sure I'll earn more than my second brother this year. As far as I know, there don't seem to be any major ups and downs in the stock market this year, right?"

Wang Junan, having taken a bite of food, glanced at his younger sister and said:
"Yes, you're right. There really aren't many opportunities this year, but I've already made a profit of 200 million. Well, you probably won't be able to catch up."

"What?" Upon hearing this, Wang Yifei was so angry that she lost her appetite.

She looked at her second brother in disbelief:
"Are you sure you've already made 200 million? That's just unrealized profit, right? It's definitely not pure profit. If there's a rebound now, all those profits will be wiped out."

Wang Jun'an immediately glared at him, clearly annoyed.
"Wang Yifei, I find you very cute, but it's a shame about your mouth. It's like it's covered in poison. How can you curse someone like that? Does my making money bother you?"

"Sorry, I've already taken profits and exited the market. I've already made 200 million, and I still have a floating profit of over 80 million in my account. I'm not in a hurry to sell because it can still rise."

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, all the money I've earned is in US dollars. If converted to RMB, it's at least six or seven hundred million. You want to catch up? Pfft, I don't think you'll ever be able to do it in your lifetime."

hiss!
The whole family stared at Wang Jun'an in disbelief. Even Wang Duoyu was very surprised, because he had never cared about his second son.

Although Wang Jun'an is only sixteen years old and not yet an adult, Wang Duoyu has long treated the child as an adult.

As long as the child doesn't cause trouble or do anything illegal or criminal, and the family is harmonious, he won't interfere much.

Sometimes, children raised in a free-range environment can bring unexpected surprises.

Wang Duoyu truly hadn't expected that his second son would possess such talent in finance.

But this kid actually went on to pursue a PhD in physics, even though he didn't have a business background. How did he manage to do something so amazing?

Keep in mind that Wang Jun'an is only sixteen years old. Even though his father educated him from a young age, he was only taught mathematics and related subjects.

As for financial knowledge and the big picture, it was mostly from Wang Jun'an's own pondering and snippets of information he gleaned from his father's phone conversations with executives at Want Want Group.

Even so, Wang Junan's ability to achieve this level is enough to prove his talent in finance.

Liu Xiaoli hugged Wang Jun'an with overwhelming joy:

"You're amazing, second child. Mom is so proud of you."

"Mom, Dad's watching." Wang Jun'an blushed deeply, clearly unaccustomed to his mother's sudden enthusiasm.

"Tch, so what if he thinks?" Liu Xiaoli rolled her eyes at Wang Duoyu dismissively.

The latter was too lazy to argue, and he was also very proud and happy for his second son:

"Second son, your mother is right, well done, and Dad is proud of you."

Wang Duoyu gave a thumbs up:

"What makes me even more proud of you is that you were able to remain calm and not bring it up. That's the kind of composure a real man should have."

"Sisi, you should learn more from your second brother in this regard. You should be as steady as a mountain in your conduct and actions, and when you've made a decision, you should act as swiftly as lightning."

“I’ve told you before that as long as you don’t do anything illegal or criminal, or anything that harms the country, your mother and I will support you in everything else.”

“If you encounter difficulties, try to bear them if you can. If you really can't, you must tell me and your mother. Although I, as your father, am usually very busy and may have neglected your upbringing, I still have some status and power, and a little savings, so I can still help you a little.”

He took the opportunity to say a lot, not holding back his praise and compliments for his second son, and making no attempt to reprimand or educate Wang Yifei.

As they talked, Wang Yifei, who was initially shocked, sad, and upset, realized that she had once again failed to catch up with her second brother this year.

But what her father said next made her laugh.

"Brother Big Fish, you're too modest. It's not like I don't read the newspapers. I know that Want Want Group's revenue exceeded 500 billion RMB in the first half of this year, making it the leader among private enterprises in China."

On the surface, Want Want Group holds a stake in Huachen Mobile, and its subsidiaries include Moto Toys, Red Star Group, and Brabus Watch Group.

It has also invested in companies such as Pioneer Technologies, Facebook, and Amazon, but with relatively small stakes.

These are all things that are public knowledge, so there is cooperation and interaction between them.

The revenue figure of 500 billion RMB for the first half of this year is merely an external prediction, nothing more.

The actual revenue is simply not something that can be disclosed to the public.

On the contrary, they will keep a tight watch on it and prevent the outside world from finding out.

After all, even without considering the three major sectors of super dollar factories, arms sales, and financial enterprises, the profits of the manufacturing sector alone exceeded 150 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to 400 to 500 billion RMB.

So how could half a year's revenue only be 500 billion RMB?
Wang Junhong and Wang Junkang couldn't help but laugh as well.
"Yes, Dad, you're too modest. You just said you have a little bit of savings? Is that really just a little bit? I'd say it's a hundred million!"

Wang Junhong and his family didn't know exactly how much money their elderly father had, but they all knew he was definitely not short of money.

Putting aside everything else, just consider the gold hidden in the basement of the villa next door—it weighs over a hundred tons.

Of course, Wang Junhong and the others didn't know about this. They only knew there was gold, but they didn't know exactly how much.

Liu Xiaoli did not discuss this topic:
"Alright, alright, Qianqian, your Big Fish Brother is right. It's good that you have such a competitive spirit, but don't push yourself too hard. You can't go astray in order to catch up with your Second Brother, and you can't be deceived, understand?"

Of course, she wouldn't bring up the question of how much money Wang Duoyu actually had.

Because she had a lot of zeros in her own bank account, and many bank cards, she didn't even know how much money she had.

It's pointless anyway; she doesn't spend these things, and she doesn't know how to spend them.

She doesn't need to buy clothes, bags, or other items for the house herself; her two sisters, Wang Meili and Wang Meihe, often bring them back from abroad, and each time they bring back gifts that fill at least two suitcases.

In terms of food, there is no shortage either.

As for the children at home, these expenses are none of Liu Xiaoli's concern.

Her family also didn't have any expenses.

So she doesn't need to talk about money, since she's not short of money anyway.

More than ten years ago, she might have needed Wang Duoyu to give her money so that she would feel more secure.

But since she gave birth to Wang Jun'an, she hasn't paid much attention to these things.

After all, her son Wang Junan was her guarantee.

Not to mention that she had so many more children afterward, she cared even less about it.

"I understand," Wang Yifei said sullenly, her expression very dejected, her mood even more depressed.

She was originally ambitious and thought she could surpass her second brother this year, but it turned out she was overthinking it.

Beside her, Bai Doufu had already put down her chopsticks and ran off to flatter her second brother.

After all, her second brother is so good at making money. If he taught her a few tricks, wouldn't that mean her savings could double?
Thinking about this made her even happier.

"Second son, you've really made me proud! How about this, tomorrow Mom will cook you a delicious meal herself, okay?"

Liu Xiaoli turned to look at her son and said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you, Mom." Wang Jun'an had no reason to disagree. Although his mother's cooking skills were just so-so, he certainly couldn't refuse at this time.

If you upset his mother, you're in for a world of trouble.

After dinner, Wang Yifei took her father to the bedroom. Wang Duoyu originally thought she wanted to discuss the songs for her fifth album, but he didn't expect that she wanted her father to give her special advice.

"Big Fish, I know you must have a way. Please help me, okay?"

Wang Duoyu looked at his eldest daughter sitting in front of him, acting coquettishly towards him, and couldn't help but pat her head:
“Sisi, you’ve grown up now, you’re not a child anymore. Is it so hard for you to admit that you’re not as good as your second brother? Dad knows you have a strong competitive spirit, but all of that is based on you being strong enough. And of all people, why did you have to choose your second brother?”

"It's like trying to compete with your older brother in math. Do you think you can beat him? Or try to have your second older brother compete with you in singing. Do you think he can beat you?"

"Don't always compare your weaknesses with other people's strengths. You'll make life very tiring, you know?"

That's the truth, doesn't Wang Yifei understand it? Although she's still young, she really understands this principle, but she just can't let go of it.

Although her second brother hadn't been showing off in front of her all along, he probably wouldn't have brought it up if Bai Doufu hadn't asked him today.

But the more this happened, the more unwilling Wang Yifei became.

Because she felt that her second brother didn't take her seriously at all; otherwise, why would he have kept quiet?
So she's getting stuck on this one point.

Wang Duoyu naturally realized this as well. He hadn't said anything before because he thought healthy competition was good for the children.

But things are different now. The second son has already shown his talent in the financial field, and it is almost impossible for the fourth son, Wang Qianqian, to catch up.

"Big Fish Bro, don't worry about that, I need your help right now, you have to help me~"

Should I help you cheat?

"Big Fish Bro~~~ How could you do this? I don't need you to help me cheat, but you can teach me."

"Stop, Wang Qianqian, don't give me that! If you lose money in the stock market, don't say I didn't warn you."

Rejected again, Wang Yifei looked dejected and pleaded with a tearful voice:

"Big Fish Bro~~Are you really going to just stand by and watch someone die?"

Wang Duoyu was so angry he laughed:
"What nonsense are you spouting? Why didn't I just stand by and watch you die? I've already told you, don't be so ambitious, can't you be more down-to-earth? Do you have to compete with your second brother?"

"Yes, I'm going to beat him this time. Humph, he always bullies me, and this time he completely ignored me. Although I can't beat him in academics, I'm determined to surpass him in making money."

"Wang Qianqian, when did you develop such an obsession? Let me tell you, you're in big danger right now."

In an instant, Wang Duoyu felt an immense headache coming on; he feared he could no longer keep his eldest daughter.

She's always talking about surpassing her second brother, and healthy competition is fine, but if she goes mad, then things will get complicated.

"Besides, as I just said, your second brother isn't a very good singer, but you're a pop diva now. You've already beaten many people, so you don't need to compare yourself to your second brother."

"Alright, if you want to beat your second brother, it's not impossible. I'll help you out once you get into university, how about that?"

Wang Yifei's eyes lit up instantly, and she perked up immediately: "Really? Big Fish, you can't lie to me, or I'll be heartbroken!"

Seeing her expression, Wang Duoyu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled bitterly. He had actually been fooled by the little girl.

Without a doubt, Wang Yifei was acting just now.

He was careless and didn't dodge.

"Really, why would I lie to you?" Wang Duoyu said irritably, "You lie to me all the time. Let me tell you, if you try to act with me again, I'll lock you up in solitary confinement."

"Oh dear, Brother Big Fish, don't be angry. Getting angry is bad for your health~" Wang Yifei then smiled and hugged her father's arm, shaking it back and forth.

She was in a great mood after receiving her father's assurance.

She thought to herself that she would definitely be able to beat her second brother next time.

The next day, to reward Wang Jun'an, Liu Xiaoli got up early and went to a farm in the suburbs to personally select the food.

The ingredients at home come from a variety of sources, and we no longer buy them from the market.

Several large farms with numerous vegetable greenhouses have been built in the suburbs of Harbin by companies such as Target and Walmart.

Starting in the 1980s, greenhouse vegetables gradually emerged. At that time, many counties in northern China saw this trend and rushed into the industry.

Today, vegetable greenhouses are very popular and developed in northern China.

Especially in the Harbin area, the population is increasing, and many people are flocking to Harbin because there are many large enterprises there, and job opportunities are plentiful.

Once the population of Harbin exceeds 30 million, the supporting infrastructure around the city will inevitably need to keep up; otherwise, it will be impossible to support so many people.

Retail businesses such as Walmart have sprung up all over Harbin, with more than 20 Walmart hypermarkets alone in the city.

Harbin today boasts numerous urban centers, including large commercial districts such as Sofia Grand Plaza, Fish Leap Songjiang, Hongqi Park, Wenchang Shopping Center, and Yihua Shopping Plaza.

Near the Harbin Institute of Technology Weizigou Campus alone, there are six large commercial districts.

There is a huge flow of people every day in and around these large commercial districts.

This demonstrates just how extensive the supporting facilities surrounding Harbin are.

Liu Xiaoli went to the special vegetable section inside the large farm, which was exclusively supplied to senior executives of Want Want Group.

After selecting the vegetables, she went to buy chickens, ducks, geese, and other animals. When she returned to Harbin Institute of Technology, she even had Wang Duoyu fish in the lake.

The island where they lived was surrounded by an artificial lake, which Wang Duoyu had released into many sturgeon back then.

Now, more than ten years later, these sturgeon must have grown much bigger.

The artificial lake simulates the habitat of sturgeon, and the entire artificial lake has a constant water supply with a very large flow rate.

The Want Want Group is responsible for these resource expenditures.

Originally, Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) was responsible for this task, but it was later taken over by Wang Duoyu. After all, HIT is a state-owned enterprise and cannot use state public property.

Public is public, private is private.

"Okay, okay, I'll catch some for you right away."

Liu Xiaoli spoke up, and Wang Duoyu had no choice but to agree.

Fishing was also one of his hobbies.

Bai Doufu also rushed over to help after hearing the news. Wang Duoyu glanced at the little guy and said, "Why aren't you helping your mother in the kitchen?"

"Dad, Mom doesn't need my help. She can handle it all by herself."

Are you sure your mother can manage?

"Isn't Aunt Fang still there?"

Aunt Fang is one of the nannies they hired.

"Alright." Wang Duoyu nodded, and the father and daughter, one big and one small, squatted by the lake to fish. Before long, they actually caught a sturgeon weighing more than 30 pounds.

Are these juvenile sturgeon?
However, Wang Duoyu didn't refuse, as long as he could get the job done.

Lunch was finally served at 12:30 pm.

Wang Duoyu wisely asked his nanny, Xiao Fang, to get two dishes from a restaurant and bring them back. With the addition of steamed fish, they could have a decent meal today.

The food at Liu Xiaoli's place was, well, not bad, just average.

For example, the steamed fish she made wasn't cooked through and still had traces of blood. According to her own description, she wanted it to be tender, so she couldn't steam it for too long, otherwise it would become tough.

And the mutton she cooked not only had a slightly gamey smell, but more importantly, it wasn't cooked until tender. Even a young and strong man like Wang Junhong had a lot of trouble chewing it.

At the dinner table, Liu Xiaoli noticed that the children hadn't eaten much of the dishes she had cooked, but they had devoured the steamed fish that Aunt Fang had cooked and the two dishes that had been packed up.

"Is Mom's cooking tastier, or is takeout tastier?"

White tofu gave an honest review: "The takeout was delicious."

Liu Xiaoli's face instantly darkened, and Wang Duoyu immediately said, "White Tofu, children shouldn't lie, you know? But it's okay at this time, understand?"

puff!

Wang Yifei and the others couldn't help but laugh. Liu Xiaoli's face instantly brightened, and she laughed as she reached out to hit Wang Duoyu. He blocked her, and the two of them ended up clapping.

"What~" Liu Xiaoli said coquettishly, and Wang Duoyu continued to say to Bai Doufu:

"Your mother works so hard cooking, and she went to the farm early this morning to select food. You can't let your mother find out; she's busy doing nothing, you know that?" (End of Chapter)
