"Mr. Fan, there is Mr. Hou Debang in the United States. He just graduated from MIT's chemical engineering department and his grades are quite good. If Mr. Fan is running a factory, you can contact him and ask him to help plan the factory area and provide some suggestions for machinery and equipment.
After all, the chemical industry in the United States is much stronger than that in Japan."
Of course, there is half of what Zhang Tinglan did not say, that is, the level of MIT is much better than that of Imperial University of Japan. Fan Xudong also knows this very well. The Japanese always keep a secret when teaching Chinese students.
Deep knowledge cannot be revealed.
Therefore, if we want the chemical plant to truly develop, we must find some real professionals. In fact, Fan Xudong also learned about Hou Debang through various relationships. After all, there are only so many scholars in China, and those with top grades, even those who study abroad, are
There are only a handful of people, and even fewer people are exposed to the chemical industry.
Fan Xudong wanted to engage in the chemical industry, so he had to work hard to recruit various talents. Moreover, his brother was also the Minister of Education in Beiyang. With this kind of relationship, it would be much easier to do anything.
What surprised him was that Zhang Tinglan also knew about Hou Debang, and it seemed that the two parties had a very close relationship. How long was this young man's hands? Question marks kept drawing in his mind!
"Last year, I gave Bayuzao a sum of money and asked him to help me search for talents studying in the United States. These are the future pillars of the country. If there are any difficulties, help them. Foreigners look down on us, so we can only help ourselves." Zhang Tinglan
Explained in an understatement.
In fact, he has invested more than 1.2 million in this fund. It is a completely money-consuming project, but Zhang Tinglan finally saw some returns. Ba Yuzao can definitely be called a genius. He only used
I completed my studies in half a year, and spent the rest of the time practicing in the factory. I applied the knowledge I learned and understood the factory's operation model.
At the same time, he also has to contact the few Chinese students studying abroad. These students in a foreign country deeply feel the gap between China and the world, and also feel the unforgettable shame. The Chinese Exclusion Act in the United States still exists at this time, and those overseas Chinese have
It has a history of blood and tears.
Decades ago, they were sold as piglets to the Americas and were engaged in labor such as mining mines and building railroads. Black slaves, for example, still had the right to reproduce, while Chinese workers did not. They wore handcuffs and shackles.
Working non-stop every day, most people are exhausted to death.
The Chinese who were lucky enough to survive were also subject to various kinds of discrimination. They had no right to vote and were prohibited from owning real estate. They were prohibited from marrying white people and serving in the government. They were also not allowed to go to court with white people...
Faced with many restrictions, overseas Chinese can only survive in the corner of American society. This is why overseas Chinese are willing to spend their life savings to support the Kuomintang revolution. They know best the meaning of a strong motherland.
What are they looking for, and for this they are willing to sacrifice everything.
Although international students like Bayuzao are not the same as overseas Chinese, they also deeply understand this shame. Almost all international students are determined to serve their country.
After Bayuzao received financial support from Zhang Tinglan and had sufficient funds in hand, it naturally became a center for international students. They also established a special association for international students. After Bayuzao's persuasion, most of these people were willing to
Go to the three eastern provinces to look for opportunities and develop your talents.
After all, in the entire Chinese government, only Fengtian had a real relationship with them and spent a large amount of money to help them, and these people also saw Fengtian's foresight. Zhang Tinglan sent several shrewd apprentices to Bayuzao at the beginning.
Let Bayuzao learn while giving them some knowledge, and arrange for them to do internships in the factory, preparing to serve as assistants in the future.
After several months of training, the first batch of apprentices have returned and have all entered the Fengtian Arsenal. Subsequent apprentices have also been sent there one after another. This means that after Bayuzao returns to China, there will be more than twenty hands-on workers.
Trained workers are available, and a small entrepreneurial team is formed, which can save time greatly. At the same time, everyone can see Fengtian's sincerity. If you don't want to support them wholeheartedly, why bother with this effort.
Other international students have even applied to provide them with some apprenticeships, and they have also been trained in advance to prepare for their return to China in the future. In addition to sending people from China, international students like Bayuzao also actively contact overseas Chinese to strive for certain knowledge.
and skilled Chinese youths return to serve in China.
Compared with students studying in Japan, these students studying in the United States have a higher level of knowledge and know better about building a country. Their interest lies in building and developing industrial industries and filling the gaps in China. As for those students studying in Japan do not have this ability, most of them can only join the revolution.
The Party has turned China upside down, and Fan Xudong is a special case.
Zhang Tinglan briefly introduced the situation of funding students studying in the United States. Fan Xudong couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Director Zhang, it is really a blessing to the country that you can arrange this. These overseas students are all great talents. If you can give them
They can definitely achieve great success on the platform they use."
Zhang Tinglan also had his own calculations in doing this. Fan Xudong was right. The quality of students studying in the United States is generally very high. If they can be recruited, it will definitely be a big help to the development of Fengtian.
The two of them had a great conversation. Now that the main troubles have been solved, all that's left is to implement it and turn the alkali plant from a blueprint into a reality. Fan Xudong was already a little impatient. The discussion was almost done, so he took the initiative to say goodbye and go.
Prepare a specific plan.
Of course, Fan Xudong was half eager and half actively avoiding it. Zhou Xueyuan was still waiting to talk to Zhang Tinglan, and he didn't want to join in the fun.
Just as Fan Xudong left, a figure stood up in a nearby room. It was the old man Zhou Xueyuan. He listened to the conversation between Zhang Tinglan and Fan Xudong. To be fair, the old man was also surprised by Zhang Tinglan's ability. This young man
It’s amazing how early it was deployed in the United States.
However, Zhou Xueyuan also had anger in his heart. The young man didn't know what method he used to lure his daughter to Fengtian, where she stayed for half a year and suffered a lot. Of course, Zhang Tinglan must settle this debt.
, of course the old man has selectively forgotten that it was Zhou Xinyao who came here on her own initiative. Zhang Tinglan didn't know her at all before.
In addition, Zhang Tinglan just mentioned the Kailuan Coal Mine on purpose, which just hit the Zhou family's sore spot. Zhou Xueyuan also knew that this boy must have guessed that he was listening, so he said it deliberately, and he was filled with anger.
Zhou Xueyuan walked out of the room next to him, and Zhang Tinglan also looked at him carefully. Zhou Xueyuan was the fifth son of Zhou Fu, the former governor of Guangdong and Guangxi in the Qing Dynasty. He was a Jinshi and served as the general supervisor of Shandong University. He also worked in the military aircraft department.
, just when his career was somewhat bright, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was over, and Zhou Xueyuan was idle at home.
Compared to his brother Zhou Xuexi, who is good at dancing, Zhou Xueyuan prefers literature. He also formed a poetry club with Gu Hongming. The old man is about forty or fifty years old. He is well maintained. His face is red, he has a bookish air, and he is gentle and elegant.
But as soon as he saw Zhang Tinglan, his face showed a trace of displeasure. When Zhang Tinglan saw it, he secretly cried out, "This future father-in-law may not be easy to deal with."
"Mr. Zhou, I have admired my name for a long time. It is really a great joy for you to come to Fengtian."
"Where do I get my name from? The only one who is famous is my father. He is my brother. He has nothing to do with me. You don't need to put a high hat on me. I can't bear to hear that!"
Zhou Xueyuan pushed Zhang Tinglan's kind words back without being salty. Song Zhongyi on the side also saw that the atmosphere was not right. He wanted to say something, but couldn't find anything to say, so he simply withdrew. If anything, it was up to them.
Let’s just say it.
After Song Zhongyi left, only Zhou Xueyuan and Zhang Tinglan were left. Zhou Xueyuan could not help but look at Zhang Tinglan. Speaking of which, this young man was less than twenty, handsome in appearance, and there was a murderous look between his eyebrows. This kind of
Momentum is not formed innately, but can only be cultivated by holding power for a long time and even fighting on the battlefield.
After some understanding, Zhou Xueyuan also knew that this young man had put down the rebellion in southern Liaoning, and had made great contributions during the war between Ji and Feng. He held the position of brigade commander at a young age, and even Zhang Zuolin's own son could not compare with him.
This shows that he is extremely capable.
And through the conversation just now, Zhou Xueyuan also knew that the other party also knew about economic construction and was far-sighted. Not to mention the younger generation, even the big shots in Beiyang may not have this ability.
From all aspects, it would be good to marry his daughter to him, but the old man was preconceived and still a little dissatisfied with Zhang Tinglan, so he was not so polite in his words.
"Director Zhang, you also know the reason why I came to Fengtian. My little girl is naughty and has been in the hospital in Fengtian for a while. Now she is going home to get married. I came here specially to take her away!"
"Mr. Zhou, it stands to reason that this is your family matter and I shouldn't interfere with it. But it's a little unlucky that I have just hired Dr. Zhou Xinyao as the health consultant of Shuai Mansion, and she is also a teacher at Fengtian Temporary Medical Training Center. She has her own
Isn’t it a bit inappropriate for you to ask her to give up everything for her career?”
"There's nothing inappropriate. My own daughter should listen to me. Can a girl's family do these things in public? There must be some villains who want to sell dog meat. I can't watch what they have.
My little girl was deceived by a cunning person!"
The old man was both a villain and a cunning person, with each hat bigger than the other. However, Zhang Tinglan had already made enough preparations. No matter what, the smile on his face remained unchanged at all.
"Mr. Zhou, as the saying goes, a child cannot be raised by his father, and a daughter cannot be raised by her mother. Why do you want to be the Queen Mother who beats mandarin ducks with a stick?"
When Zhou Xueyuan heard this, his eyes widened immediately. This boy was so audacious that he wanted to marry his own daughter. Instead of begging him, he started to accuse him. He was so arrogant.
"That's unreasonable! Zhang Tinglan, I'm telling you, just because of your disrespect for the Zhou family, don't even think about marrying a girl from the Zhou family. There's absolutely no way. From my point of view, I won't agree!"
"Mr. Zhou, what are you talking about? How dare I disrespect the Zhou family? This sin is too big and I can't afford it!"
"Huh, sweet talk. I asked you why you deliberately mentioned the Kailuan Coal Mine just now. Do you want to laugh at the Zhou family for being incompetent, or do you want to scold us for being traitors to the country? Do you still dare to say that you respect the Zhou family?"
"Mr. Zhou, this is what I'm talking about. You misunderstood me. The problem with the Kailuan Coal Mine is due to the incompetence of the Qing Dynasty and Beiyang, and has nothing to do with your Zhou family."
"How could it not matter? The Zhou family served as officials for the Manchu Qing Dynasty and worked for Yuan Shikai. Some of the infamy is certain."
"Mr. Zhou, if you really care about the Kailuan Coal Mine, I will use a little trick to take the Kailuan Coal Mine back from the British and hand it over to the Zhou family again, so that you can take charge of its management!"
"Do you have what it takes?" Zhou Xueyuan's face was full of doubts. This young boy is too arrogant. The people who occupy the Kailuan Coal Mine are the Empire on which the sun never sets. If you want to steal meat from them, isn't it just asking for death?
"Don't treat me like a three-year-old child, and young people shouldn't be ignorant and talk nonsense."
"Mr. Zhou, how about we make a bet? If I can't do it, then there's nothing to say. If I do it, what should you say?" Zhang Tinglan showed a trace of pride on his face.
