As time goes by, the Qin family's business is getting bigger and bigger. Companies far away in the United States can still hide them. There are not many people who know about the steel factory in the west. However, Cathay Pharmaceutical, Minsheng Automobile Factory and Shenlong Bicycle Factory in the Magic City have attracted the attention of many people. Even the Kong family, one of the four major families, wants to mix it up, but because the Qin family has two Nobel Prize winners, Zhu Wan and Qin Ling, no one dares to forcefully intervene.

Moreover, the newly built automobile factory of the Qin family is a joint venture with the Zhang Jinjiang family. Zhang Jinjiang has a high status in the Qingbai Party and can also help the Qin family withstand some firepower.

However, Qin Di knew that Zhang Jinjiang would gradually fade out of the Qingbai Party from 1938. He did not move to Chongqing with the government, but went from Hong Kong to Switzerland to recuperate, and then went to New York, USA to live for a long time through Paris.

Let me tell you a little bit about it. Zhang Jinjiang has a deep relationship with Mr. Qing.

In 1919, when Mr. Qing saw Chen Wanru at Zhang Jinjiang's house, he immediately started pursuing. However, Chen Wanru's mother believed that Mr. Qing already had a wife and concubine, and she had no legitimate job in the demon world, so she refused him.

Mr. Qing communicated with Chen’s mother through Zhang Jinjiang and his wife Zhu Yimin, saying that Chen Wanru “will be his unique legal wife”, so Chen’s mother agreed.

Later, on December 5, 1921, Chen held a wedding ceremony in the Yong'an Company Building in Qing Dynasty, and Zhang Jinjiang was the witness!

However, in 1927, Mr. Qing was preparing to marry Ms. Song, and through Zhang Jinjiang and his wife, Chen Wanru "during the time of going abroad for five years, the relationship between husband and wife will be restored after the success of the Northern Expedition.

It was 1932, and it was five years since Chen Wanru went abroad. It was obvious that Mr. Qing had no intention of fulfilling his previous promise.

As a result, Zhang Jinjiang was very unhappy when he was sandwiched in the middle, and his relationship with Mr. Qing began to fade.

To be honest, Zhang Jinjiang donated countless money to the revolution in his early years, and in his middle age he did a lot of practical things in the central government. He was a serious, diligent and practical worker who worked for the country. Unlike politicians who only knew how to fight and kill, he deserved respect from the Chinese people.

Qin Di returned home and began to pay attention to the business of major companies and read telegrams sent from New York.

He has several companies in the United States, including two art investment companies and three real estate companies, just look at the statement every year. He is more concerned about the three companies, "panda onsulting group", "evergreen pharmaeutials" and "sky food".

Among them, Ivy Pharmaceuticals is already producing "penicillin" and "streptomycin", bringing a steady stream of cash flow.

"Sky food" didn't make much money because a large amount of imported food was stored by Qin Di in the warehouse of Qin's grain store.

As for the consulting company under the supervision of Old John, in addition to acquiring the steel mill and bicycle mill, he also made a very good deal!

In 1928, MIT graduated McDonald founded a company that wanted to produce personal aircraft for family use, but his company went bankrupt after the economic crisis in 1929.

Old John bought the company for only half a million dollars, then hired MacDonald for a high salary and continued to work.

After Qin Di learned the news, he asked Old John to add $2 million to carry out aircraft development.

This time, Qin Di received a telegram saying that the money was almost spent, but the research has not yet been completed.

John Older said in the telegram: "This deal seems to be a loss. Should you give up on this company and resell it to Martin?"

Qin Dixin said in his heart: "Are you kidding? This is a golden hen, how can you let it fly away?"

So he called back: "Continue to invest additionally! Invest another two million dollars! In addition, McDonald has a classmate from MIT named 'Douglas'. You go to Los Angeles to find out if you can buy Douglas's company or take a part of the shares!"

Historically, McDonald and Douglas each opened an aircraft company, which was the biggest winners of the World War II period. From 1942 to 1945, they produced 30,000 aircraft for the US Department of Defense. Later, in 1966, the two companies merged into McDonald Corporation, and in 1997, they merged with Boeing.

Of course, according to Qin Di's estimate, if he really grasped the two companies, he, as a Chinese, might be squeezed out of the company by the US government by World War II.

Just imagine how such a strategic company can be controlled by foreigners?

Qin Di doesn't want to think so deeply for the time being. If he has to do so in the future, it is not impossible to sell the shares. If it is operated properly, he may still retain some of the shares and take a step back to become a small shareholder. Anyway, a large enterprise like McDonald's company, even if it has 5% of the shares, it is not a small number.

After half a month, Old John sent a telegram saying that he had contacted Douglas himself, but the other party refused to sell the company and was only willing to accept capital injections, giving up at most 30% of the shares for US$3.5 million.

Although Qin Di felt it was a bit expensive, he agreed without hesitation.

Because he is not short of funds now and is optimistic about the other party's development potential.

On September 20, 1932, Qin Di's grandfather Zhu Mingcheng died of illness at the age of 85.

At this time, the average life expectancy of Chinese people was only 35 years old, almost the same as that of gorillas. Even in 1949, the average life expectancy was only 47 years old. Therefore, 60 years old is considered a long life, 70 years old is considered a lucky person, and 80 years old is considered an old age. Being able to live to 85 years old is already a "happy funeral".

Zhu Wan took her three children back to the Zhu family. When she saw the body, she cried in tears.

Qin Di did not shed tears because he was used to life and death. He felt that although his grandfather had left, his soul might not be destroyed. Maybe he would be reincarnated in another world and show his skills!

Zhu Mingcheng has two sons and three daughters, and Zhu Wan is the eldest daughter.

Qin Di met his uncle "Zhu Zeduan". He was two years younger than Zhu Wan. He studied France in his early years and studied Western philosophy. After returning to China, he taught at Fudan University. He is now a well-known scholar.

My uncle "Zhu Zeming", who is only five years older than Qin Di, studied in the United States with the support of Zhu Wan, studied theoretical physics. After graduation, he went to Germany to engage in research. A few months ago, he returned from Germany and planned to stay in China for a while, working as a professor in the Department of Physics of Jiaotong University, using this to take care of his mother Liu Qing.

Qin Di also has two aunts, one is called "Zhu Min", whose husband is Zhang He, the manager of Guotai Pharmaceutical; the other is called "Zhu Ling", who usually lives in Suzhou. Her husband is the deputy director of the Suzhou Finance Bureau. He is considered to be a government official, and his name is "Guo Lizhen".

Qin Di was too lazy to visit relatives since he was a child, so he was not familiar with them.
