Chapter 24: The Arrival of Liang Qichao
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Hu Wenkai drove the "Jenny" plane at the airport of Longwangmiao, and under Yang Siliang's envious eyes, he slid off the runway and took off into the air, circled the airport, and then flew towards Shanghai. After flying over the Yangtze River, I found the high-rise buildings on Nanjing Road in Shanghai as a reference, and soon found Hongqiao Airport, and parked the plane in the hangar after landing.
Lao Yi and Li Congshan picked him up at the airport, and Lao Yi asked, "How long did it take the boss?" ”
Hu Wenkai looked at his watch and said, "Less than 40 minutes." After that, when the weather is good, I will go in the morning and come back in the evening. ”
"Boss, when can we fly the plane, how fast this thing is, it will take at least half a day to go to Tianfen now." Li Congshan looked envious.
"When the American instructor comes next month, you will teach me the first batch to drive."
Li Congshan still said what was in his heart: "The boss is a little scared to be honest, how can this be good in the sky." ”
Lao Yi said sarcastically: "If you are afraid of anything, then don't walk, walking will cause a flying disaster." ”
"Where is the banquet tonight?" Hu Wenkai asked uneasily.
Li Congshan said: "Where can it be? Your house, No. 3, Lane 181, people will arrive at three o'clock and the proprietress will accompany you at home. ”
Hu Wenkai was furious: "Nonsense, such a master is actually put in Lane 181 as a child's play?" ”
Li Congshan and Lao Yi were a little panicked, they had never seen Hu Wenkai make such a big fire.
"Boss, it was the old gentleman who ordered it himself to have a family banquet at your house, and the proprietress specially invited the best Cantonese chef in Shanghai to cook at home, which is not to blame us." Lao Yi argued.
Hu Wenkai said cautiously: "Okay, this old gentleman is much more important than Sun Cannon, and our legitimacy in the future is all on him, and we can't be sloppy at all." ”
Lao Yi was driving the car, Hu Wenkai closed his eyes and thought about how to open the situation after the meeting, and his head kept turning.
When it was almost dark, the car stopped at No. 3, Lane 181, Hu Wenkai tightened his leather jacket, bent down and wiped his shoes with a handkerchief, silently thought about it a few times in his heart to relax and relax, and walked home with steady steps. This big coffee is too famous, and it is a god-like existence in the Republic of China, although Hu Wenkai is from a scholarly family, but later generations know little about this big coffee.
Entering the living room, a short, lean, middle-aged and elderly man with an open forehead and deep and powerful eyes sat at Hu Wenkai's long table in a vest and looked at the books Hu Wenkai usually read. Carrotta stood at the long table and explained Hu Wenkai's review of the book.
Hu Wenkai put down his briefcase and stepped forward, "Wenkai, you're back," Carrotta said happily.
"Mr. Liang, Wen Kai is rude."
"There, there, it's not rude for you to rush back from Haimen, young people's careers are important. I talked to your wife for a long time just now, and I am no stranger to you. Liang Qichao said indifferently.
Seeing the Longjing tea that did not move on the table, Hu Wenkai said to Carrotta: "My dear, go and take out the tea set for drinking kung fu tea, and then take out the big red robe tea leaves, Mr. is drinking kung fu tea." ”
"Mm-hmm, I'm just going to talk to you." Liang Qichao moved to the sofa.
"Wen Kai, what is your original intention in establishing this university?"
"Mr. Liang, the original intention of our company to establish this university is very clear, if a nation can continue in the forest of the world, then it must have its own populist ideas, use the university as a carrier to bring together outstanding young people from all over the country, and the university will provide an intellectual, rational and thinking practice environment, from which the essence of democratic literature and philosophy can be extracted to further promote the emergence of new theories. The reason for China's thousands of years of inprogress has not been eliminated in all obstacles, so our university will eradicate all the dross that makes the nation unable to purify itself. ”
"Mr. Liang, I'm not a writer, I'm just an entrepreneur, I can only say some of my thoughts shallowly."
Hu Wenkai knows that in front of this kind of big coffee, don't show off too much, just finish what you have to say.
Liang Qichao didn't take Hu Wenkai's words, and asked casually: "How many guests are there tonight?" If there aren't many people, I'll invite a friend over. ”
"Not much, just five or six people, after you invite, I will let Lao Yi drive to pick it up."
"You pick up this person yourself, it's not far from here, I'll call." Liang Qichao seems to have entered the role.
Liang Qichao's friend Fan Yuanlian, the president of Beijing Normal University in later generations, Hu Wenkai drove to Fan Yuanlian on Ladu Road, Fan Yuanlian got in the car and said: "What happy event did Liang Qichao have today?" Invited him to drink several times, but was denied. ”
Hu Wenkai had no choice but to smile and say, "Mr. Liang was a guest at my house, and I was specially ordered to come to pick up Mr. Fan." ”
Fan Yuanlian took a lot of Hu Wenkai, he always thought that Hu Wenkai was a coachman, just a coachman for everyone.
Entering the living room, Liang Qichao and they were already seated, accompanied by Lao Yi, Li Congshan, Chen Yongcheng, Wang Xihai, etc.
"Fan Yuanlian, take a seat, take a few sips tonight." Liang Qichao beckoned to Fan Yuanlian.
"Liang Qichao, if you don't make it clear to me today, I'm not done with you." Fan Yuanlian was furious.
"Such a big person is still so anxious, I guess you are only anxious with my old friend. Let me introduce you to today's host, Mr. Hu Wenkai, chairman of Xingye Industrial. Liang Qichao pulled Fan Yuanlian into the table and introduced.
"Wait, is that the Henyep Industry Coaxed in the United States? It's amazing, I happened to be publishing your company's products every day in the Chicago newspaper at that time. Fan Yuanlian pointed at Hu Wenkai and said.
"Lao Fan, I said you can't hold your breath, and you started to ask the junior before you sat down. Let's drink first, I'll tell you tonight it's the best Cantonese chef in Shanghai. ”
He drank Liang Qichao's Wuliangye, smoked Cuban fine cigars, and ate Cantonese food. Half-drunk, Fan Yuanlian pulled Liang Qichao's cuffs and said, "Qichao, I don't have anything to do with you tomorrow to go to Tianfen to have a look." ”
Liang Qichao's gloomy eyes swept Hu Wenkai: "Haha, I thought you weren't tempted, Lao Fan, tomorrow their company's passenger ferry will pick up Lao Fan early in the morning." ”
Lao Yi doesn't know the depth, Li Congshan, Chen Yongcheng, and Wang Xihai know that Liang Qichao is a god-level figure in China, and it is a supreme honor to be able to drink with him and say it. Several people stood up and couldn't stop toasting, Wang Xihai instructed Lao Yi to take pictures on the side.
Liang Qichao spoke Chinese with a Cantonese accent and Fan Yuanlian talked about philosophy, and Li Congshan and several people sat next to him and forgot to drink wine. Carrotta didn't know anything, she didn't know Hu Wenkai's intentions or Liang Qichao, a big coffee, she only knew that Hu Wenkai asked her to carefully arrange a table of banquets.
"Our family Wenkai said that philosophy is the spiritual root of a nation, and if a nation does not have its own philosophical system, then the nation cannot be called a nation. He said that the Han nationality was invaded by foreign tribes again and again, and did not disappear, but it was still able to bend and absorb the useful ideas of foreign peoples, because the Han people perfected their philosophy during the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period and the Han Dynasty. ”
The two stopped discussing and looked at Hu Wenkai in surprise and said, "What Wenkai said is incisive, this has a kind of Daigo empowerment effect. I will quote you in my next book, and I will mark it as coming from Hu Wenkai. ”
Hu Wenkai said modestly: "Mr. Liang, I just don't know how high the sky is, don't bother me." ”
Fan Yuanlian said approvingly: "Wen Kai is a Confucian businessman." It's not simple, it's not simple, these few words are straightforward but profound, and the truth can't be said without years of rolling. ”
"I salute the two masters of the Republic of China," Hu Wenkai stood up and drank the two glasses of liquor in front of him.
After the two of them finished drinking, Liang Qichao said: "Wen Kai, tomorrow we can't drink too much like this, we don't know the place where we are familiar." ”
"Don't worry, Mr. Liang, Haimen and Nantong are both from our company, our company's base is in Haimen, and the boss is the governor of Haimen." Li Congshan couldn't wait to say.
The slightly drunk table didn't continue to talk about this topic, and after sending Liang Qichao and Fan Yuanlian away, Lao Yi sat on the sofa and said, "It's really hard to eat with them." ”
Wang Xihai said unceremoniously: "Lao Yi, you know a fart, do you know who Liang Qichao is?" Near it seems that you Russian Lenin. Without the iron blood of any of you, Lenin, he was a moderate reformist. ”
Chen Yongcheng sighed and said: "If the boss Far Eastern University has Liang Qichao in charge, there will be no reason." ”
Hu Wenkai yawned and said: "One of you should think about things for the better first, take one step at a time, and wait for Mr. Liang to accept the letter of appointment before the conclusion can be concluded." Disperse, tomorrow Xihai remembers, catch the two great gods and serve them. ”
Mother Liu and Mother Wang also stayed here to help clean up today, Hu Wenkai pinched Carrotta's mouth and said, "Baby, you can't always praise your man like this next time, you won't be laughed at." ”
"I didn't praise you, I just relayed your words. Look at your enjoyment, you are duplicitous Hu Wenkai. ”
"It's a duplicity for the husband."
"The corners of your mouth are upturned, which means that you are enjoying it. Let's show your face in front of the two great gods. ”
"Cut, am I proud to show my face in front of these guys? Did you bring the clothes you wore for tomorrow's flight? ”
"I brought it here, I was ready at noon yesterday, leather clothes, leather pants, glasses, hats, gloves are all ready, what time will I leave tomorrow."
"Go to bed early after taking a shower, and leave tomorrow at half past six and take off at seven."
"Then I'll go take a shower first."
"Wait a minute, baby, let's wash together."
"Hu Wenkai, you are a * boss."
"Baby, you can't escape my clutches."
In the morning, I couldn't stand the stinging in my eyes when I flew to the sun, so I drove directly to the Tianfen headquarters after getting off the plane, and Carrota sat in the car and looked around.
"Wen Kai has changed too much, there are not a few factories last time, there are more than a dozen factories in production and more than a dozen factories under construction along the way."
"I asked Yang Siliang to distribute auxiliary materials and parts to others for production, which are supporting factories or downstream manufacturers of steel parts. One industrial industry cannot do all the production, and we are now grasping the main and secondary division of labor and cooperation. ”
"Wenkai Trading Company has continuous orders every day, and the company is a little afraid to take orders for fear that the production will not be able to catch up. I heard that you still blame Chen Yongcheng for having an order, why didn't you take it. ”
"Baby, you don't know, Yang Siliang has added two steelmaking furnaces, and the hot rolling equipment has been transformed some time ago and is fully capable of digesting orders. Now it is too late to wait for those manufacturers in Europe and the United States to have the ability to develop these products without exerting pressure to increase production capacity. ”
"The diesel truck with a load of 30 tons on the base has been developed and is building a factory, ready to produce 100 units per month to test the water first, and we can digest it ourselves if we can't sell it."
Along the way, Hu Wenkai acted as a commentator, and Carrotta listened very carefully, and her family's industry could not be cared about.
When he arrived at the headquarters, he hurriedly asked Wu Hongxia to prepare the reception room and organize personnel to clean up the university construction site, Wu Hongxia listened to the book, and Liang Qichao came to visit Tianfen in the morning, and his excited appearance was not inferior to the fans of later generations.
Security must not be sloppy, with three vigilante groups and two police brigades all deployed to take care of security along the route and at the venue.
At nine o'clock, Liang Qichao, Fan Yuanlian, Lao Yi and other people who were excited were ushered in, and Hu Wenkai welcomed them to the reception room of the headquarters.
