Although after Snyder set his sights on Duke, Snyder invested a lot of energy in Duke's research, Duke's background, Duke's experience, and the CIA spent a lot of effort to dig out, and also obtained a lot of materials.

In Snyder's view, this is a typical Chinese-style bitter child, the family was poor before development, although there is no lack of food and clothing, but life is not easy. In Snyder's view, this experience and background led to Duke's unusual value and even thirst for wealth.

So Snyder saw that after Duke had extraordinary technological capabilities, the pursuit of wealth seemed to be endless—even when Duke was studying in the United States, he also invested a lot of energy in developing new products that could make money one after another, and then established a series of subsidiaries to market these products, and even participated in an entrepreneurial competition in the United States, constantly chasing wealth.

These behaviors do not look like the work of a top scientist at all, so Snyder believes that Duke, like many Chinese, is chasing wealth above all else, after all, in that magical country, there was once a surprising saying that "building an atomic bomb is better than selling tea eggs", accomplished scientists are far less respected than powerful entrepreneurs, and people chase the rich on the Fortune 500 list more enthusiastically than the top scientists who win national science and technology awards. According to the information Snyder gathered, this is a society that is generally focused on money.

Therefore, in the eyes of many top Western scientists, it is difficult to understand that Duke is obsessed with commercial product development, for them, although wealth is also important, but it is enough, 100 million US dollars and 100 billion US dollars are not much different for them, compared to the pursuit of top scientific and technological achievements such as being able to win the Nobel Prize, money is even less worth mentioning, if they win the Nobel Prize and become famous, they do not worry about food and clothing at all. They can look for a job that can not only do the scientific research work they like, but also maintain a prosperous life.

Not to be moved by extraneous things like money, this is the style of a scientist.

But Duke doesn't seem to be like this, although many of the things he developed are very prominent in industry and consumer electronics, but theoretically speaking, Duke's specific consumer products are rarely up to the Nobel Prize-level achievements, one by one, in addition to nuclear physics, Duke has explored a new theory of influencing and controlling nuclear fission, Duke has never come up with a real heavyweight scientific and technological achievement.

This made the Western scientific and technological community even feel a little disappointed, many of them were very much looking forward to Duke, a genius in physics, after all, he could win the Nobel Prize in his 20s, and many people compared Duke to a grandmaster scientist like Einstein, expecting Duke to make more new breakthroughs in theory.

But now these people are disappointed, and Duke seems to have no intention of putting any energy into this area at all, but is obsessed with developing those practical products, turning his genius into more and more wealth, and Duke seems to be a tyrannical thing to do.

Although Duke now relies on these products to achieve incredible business success and has a huge wealth comparable to the richest man in the world, some people have studied the complex shareholding structure of Duke's companies, and information obtained through public channels points out that with Duke's shares in his own companies, as long as Duke goes public, then Duke will immediately become the richest man in the world, and the amount of wealth is definitely far more than the second place, and it is really a rich country.

But for the scientific and technological community, they would rather have one less richest man named Duke in the world, and one more new generation of physics grandmaster named Duke, to advance the world physics to a new era. Because the world will never be short of money that cannot be spent enough, but there is an extreme shortage of scientific and technological giants like Newton and Einstein.

Therefore, when many people in the outside world analyze Duke, they also intentionally or unintentionally mention that Duke's obsession with wealth is extraordinary, and it is not so much that Duke is a scientist, but that Duke is an industrialist with a super scientific and technological genius, and has a miser-like character.

These external analyses deeply affected Snyder's judgment of Duke's character, so when Snyder couldn't take it, he thought of attacking Duke's weaknesses to achieve his goal, trying to shake the industry that Duke cared about the most by attacking Duke's secret financial assets, so that he was busy trying to find ways to save his huge financial wealth.

If Duke really values money very seriously, Duke will obviously be very nervous about these overseas financial assets of more than 20 billion US dollars, plus facing a behemoth like the FBI, the average Chinese have long been trembling and walking on thin ice.

In Snyder's view, Duke has only been in the United States for a few years, and he should not be able to get rid of the ideological shackles in China, and he should have a natural fear of the authorities' official affairs. So he sorted out some of the materials he had at hand, and after putting Duke and these overseas funds on suspicion of insider trading, he used the FBI as a big killer to do this, just to preempt the people and put Duke in a panic that his hard-earned wealth was at risk of being lost at any time.

And this is just the beginning, Snyder will not only attack Duke's financial industry, but will also carry out wave after wave of attacks on Duke's various industries. According to Snyder's new strategy, since Duke is so greedy for money, launching an attack on his industry and causing Duke to lose a lot of money in business will definitely make Duke so busy that he has no mind to do anything else.

However, Snyder never expected that Duke was indeed racking his brains desperately to make money in the early stage, but that was not because Duke was born with a love of money, but in order to complete Billem's arduous trading plan, Duke was in great need of funds to support his nuclear energy expansion plan, but when the development of nuclear energy career completely embarked on another unexpected route, Duke has paid attention to taking advantage of the trend many times, and no longer aims to pursue wealth, including the cooperation with the two Li families later.

Duke was unconsciously guided to focus on improving China's domestic military industry, so during this period of time, Duke almost did not publish a heavyweight scientific and technological paper, and most of his time was spent on solving various specific and difficult engineering and technical problems in the military industry, and made a major breakthrough in the leapfrog development of the basic industry of the main battle equipment of the People's Liberation Army and the development of informatization and intelligence.

But these achievements are not felt by the vast majority of ordinary people, because many of Duke's contributions to the military industry are highly classified projects, not to mention that ordinary people do not feel it, even most people in the People's Liberation Army do not know that the constantly updated weapon systems in their hands are from Duke's contributions.

Duke's most important inventions during this period were two important new products that had a profound impact, although not many of the average person could clearly understand them.

One is a new long-range wireless communication system, but now it is only for the military, and the simplified version of the civilian process is still in the highly confidential laboratory of the SAL company, waiting for the right time to launch it as a new standard for the next generation of communication products, before the large-scale civilian use, most people do not even know its existence, but this thing is not only the key technology of the PLA information networking, but also a new standard for the next generation of wireless communication, because it can provide a better network at a lower cost, Wireless communications can be advanced to an era where wireless communications are truly ubiquitous and readily available.

In contrast, another major product invented by Duke, the Lotus reactor nuclear energy system, is also of great significance in the field of energy, although it has a certain popularity due to a large number of construction at home and abroad, but because this thing has little to do with ordinary people, its reputation among the people is not very significant.

However, now the Lotus reactor nuclear reactor technology invented and improved by Duke has become the main technology of a worldwide standard for the construction of new nuclear power warfare, and has begun to contribute tens of millions of kilowatts of new high-efficiency clean energy to the world every year, and at the same time has become a reliable power source for large ships of the PLA Navy, and may even become a new power source for ocean-going giant ships in the future, which has a very far-reaching impact in both the civilian and military fields of energy.

Compared with the obscurity of the new long-range communication technology, although the Lotus reactor nuclear energy technology has not brought much fame to Duke, it has brought real financial resources to Duke, and in the domestic and international Lotus reactor construction boom, it has increased the business income of hundreds of billions of dollars per year for the nuclear energy industry chain composed of Duke's Dongfang Nuclear Power and Dongfang New Energy, Dongfang Power, Dushi Heavy Industries and other core enterprises.

It can be said that although Duke has long been out of the stage of racking his brains to make money, he has not delayed at all in making money, but has further accelerated after SAL cooperated with the old Li family and Vice Chairman Li's family.

It is precisely because Duke's wealth is constantly expanding that Snyder mistakenly thinks that Duke's pursuit of wealth is endless, and this cognitive error makes Snyder have a huge error from the beginning when he conceives a new strike plan, which makes Duke face the impact of overseas financial assets being hit, which has a very different effect from Snyder's expectation.

But now Snyder doesn't know this, and after completing the first wave of strikes, he began to implement a second round of new strikes, directly targeting Duke's core consumer electronics industry, and finally pushing things to a new stage that is even more out of control.
