Chapter 15, buy, buy, dig, dig, dig

Ferdinand combined with the actual situation in Bulgaria, after rational analysis, he made some deletions, and successfully completed the large-scale industrial plan made by the Ministry of Industry.

The £60 million purchase fund was successfully discounted. Even so, now the finances of the Bulgarian government are still not complete!

Industrial equipment is not only purchased back, but also must be built and recruited, these expenses are not a small amount!

According to Ferdinand's estimates, if it were an ordinary engineer, it would be a time of economic crisis, and it would be a big deal.

But if you are a senior engineer, even in the economic crisis, people can still get by. Britain and France have a strong foundation, and there are colonies to support them, and there are not a few powerful large enterprises, and these large enterprises do not mind accepting a few high-tech talents now!

If you want to poach people, you have to go to a few small countries, such as Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium and other countries, although the overall industry is not as good as the powers, but some high-tech talents are still available!

The number of domestic enterprises in their country is much smaller, and the strength is not so strong, in the economic crisis, most of them are too busy to take care of themselves, and naturally they do not have the strength to spend a lot of money to retain talents!

In this way, language is another problem, almost every engineer has to be accompanied by a translator, it is estimated that these translators have to be hired externally, Bulgaria does not have so many foreign language talents, think about Ferdinand feels terrible!

He also had to rejoice, fortunately, Russian can be used in Bulgarian, otherwise he would not even be able to make up so many translations!

If you want to overtake quickly, you always have to pay a price!

As a last resort, Ferdinand, an ordinary engineer, could only give priority to digging into the corners of the Russians, at least without worrying about the language!

As for the senior engineers and designers, Ferdinand said that he was not picky, and he could do it from any country. Isn't it just a translation, it's all a small problem, as long as you can dig up everything to say!

This time, Ferdinand's courage to dig people is much greater, as long as it is a scientific researcher, whether it is physical and chemical engineering, or biometallurgy, it is not refusal!

Don't have a lab? It doesn't matter, if you need anything, we'll get it for you right away! Don't have funding? The Bulgarian government has allocated it to you! Treatment? It's easy to discuss, luxury houses, beautiful women, famous cars, and banknotes are not a problem!

The premise is that you are capable enough!

It is clear that Ferdinand's purpose was to recruit down-and-out scientists, or young scientists who have not yet become famous and are eager to get ahead!

Like those who have already achieved fame, there is no shortage of these things, and Bulgaria can't come up with the bargaining chips that will tempt them!

Just like Nikola Tesla, the most brilliant scientist of the early 20th century, it is awesome enough, but it is a pity that Ferdinand just crossed the house and became famous, and ten years ago he was a world-renowned scientist. Not to mention solicitation, even kidnapping tickets can't work?

Fortunately, although Nikola Tesla is awesome enough, his scientific research results can still be directly used by Bulgaria.

As for the special train fee? In this era, the amount of transnational patent fees depends on the mood of the user, and it is a big deal to go to court!

Ferdinand said that he would not be instigated by anyone in Bulgaria to fight a lawsuit!

Don't blame him for being greedy, this is the way it is in this era, and almost no money can be collected for cross-border patent fees.

Even the "department store" tossed by Ferdinand has registered a patent, and more than ten years have passed, and the patent fee he received is less than 100,000 pounds, which is still based on the situation of people giving face!

In Europe, everyone gave a little bit more or less, and as for the American continent Ferdinand said that he didn't know what the patent fee looked like?

In addition to this master, Ferdinand set his sights on another great figure in the scientific world - Albert Einstein.

In August 1900, at the age of 21, Einstein graduated from the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich; In December, he completed his thesis "Inferences from the Capillary Phenomenon", which was published in the Leipzig Journal of Physics the following year and became a Swiss citizen.

Young man, Ferdinand thinks it's better to fool, a graduate who has just graduated from school, it is still very likely to be dug up at a high price, and if it doesn't work, he will tie up the ticket, anyway, the fledgling will not attract much attention!

The only trouble is that he seems to be part of an extreme anti-war group. Before World War I, he was Director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physics in Berlin and Professor at the Humboldt University of Berlin, where he was elected a member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences.

But he still joined the anti-war group, and also signed the famous anti-war manifesto - "Letter to Europeans", which can be regarded as a pull back for Germany in World War I!

However, in Ferdinand's opinion, these are all minor problems, and these things will not happen as long as they arrive in Bulgaria.

Even if there is a similar declaration in Bulgaria, it is impossible to issue it, and the Information Agency is still very deterrent!

"Start in three years, the highest death penalty!" This is the Bulgarian press law, everyone is responsible for their words and deeds!

Since the establishment of the Information Agency, the number of newspapers closed due to false advertising has been in the triple digits, and the number of editors and capitalists who have been imprisoned has been in the four figures.

As for political news, not to mention, that thing must be even more cautious, and those who dare to do it against the government have long since ceased to exist!

Of course, some news is also allowed, such as seeking corruption and bribery of high-ranking officials, and the loss of private morality of celebrities, which can be exposed casually, which can be regarded as a tradition of fighting corruption in Bulgaria.

Ferdinand firmly believes that if a slap does not make a sound, even if there are one or two ideological jumps, in the context of the unanimity of the whole society, at most a few complaints, and there will be no big mess.

In addition to this, Ferdinand also set his sights on the Curie couple, who were famous in later generations, and they were now in despair.

In order to study radium, they now have neither experimental equipment nor funds to purchase research materials, and they are worried!

Moreover, they also lived in a leaky hut at the physical and chemical school, which was not suitable for storing dead bodies, and were carrying out hard work.

It is said that the shack was as hot as an oven in the summer and frozen in the winter, and the unventilated environment forced them to carry out many refining operations in the open air in the courtyard.

In Ferdinand's view, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and for two scientific research maniacs, what was it to move once for the sake of good experimental conditions?

As long as these three people join, Bulgaria will definitely be at the forefront of the world in the research of nuclear physics, which will be of great help to the future research of atomic bombs!

Therefore, the letter of appointment of the Bulgarian university was sent through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and of course the personnel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had to do ideological work, which was also the most conventional method of recruiting talents at the beginning of the 20th century.

For these people who engage in scientific research, they are basically invited to teach in the name of the university, otherwise if they are invited in the name of the state, many high-ranking scientists may really disdain it!

Of course, in addition to these big names, there were also some well-known scientists at that time, who also received invitations from Bulgarian universities.

In line with the principle of casting a wide net and catching more fish, between 1900 and 1903, more than 1,000 letters of invitation were sent out by Bulgarian universities to teach!

At that time, many scientists jokingly asked, "Did you receive an invitation from the University of Bulgaria today?"

It has also become a benchmark for them to be recognized by the world, and basically those who have achieved something in a certain field have received invitations!

Even though he knew that many people would not be able to come, Ferdinand was still stingy when it came time to issue a letter of appointment to teach. There is a letter of invitation signed by him, the king's principal, but it is enough to give these people face.

At this point, the invitees are very satisfied. Regardless of whether they came or not, everyone replied to the letter very politely and collected the book, which is also the supreme weapon to pretend to be with people!

Ferdinand's goal was achieved, and at least Bulgaria's attitude towards scientific research had been conveyed through this incident.

Otherwise, why are the people who have received the letters of appointment all scientists, such as writers and historians, and so on?

Facts have proved that Ferdinand's wide net is still beneficial, and many people have chosen to teach at Bulgarian universities.

After all, there are unsatisfactory mixes everywhere, and the time of Ferdinand's book is valid for life, and if it is not satisfactory, it is also a good choice for many people to try their luck in Bulgaria!

Especially after the outbreak of World War I and the fall of many small countries, many people chose to immigrate to Bulgaria, which is close and has a secure job! After all, with the king's personal promise, it is impossible to go back easily!

Of course, these invitation letters were not filled out by Ferdinand himself, but were all written by the Personnel Department of the Bulgarian University, otherwise how could Ferdinand know so many people?

It was only sent in his name, and everyone defaulted to the invitation he sent!

When Ferdinand was digging everywhere, the Bulgarian government was not idle, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Industry almost poured out of the nest to make large purchases in European countries.

From Western Europe to Eastern Europe, they can be found everywhere, whether it is a great power like Britain, France, Germany, Austria and Russia, or a small country like Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Switzerland, it is the scope of their activities!

This can be regarded as a beautiful scenery in the economic crisis, and Bulgaria's procurement staff have suddenly become fragrant. Unlike previous purchases, this time it was the capitalists who begged them to buy, after all, in the economic crisis, everyone was short of cash!

Then the procurement work went smoothly, and all the troublesome procedures, the capitalists said that they could do all the troublesome procedures, as long as they had the money to provide door-to-door delivery services.

In order to sell these equipment smoothly, some capitalists even helped dig up their own corners, personally helped mobilize engineers to work in Bulgaria, and even lied to them that they were sent to Bulgaria to work!

In short, if you go, you will have a job, and you can be treated preferentially, and if you don't go, you will be unemployed! As long as you think you can find a new job now, you can say no!

This trick is very effective against middle and low-level technicians, but for top technicians, people are treasures everywhere, and unemployment does not exist!

These people need to be dug by Bulgaria itself, and if you don't have enough benefits, people won't go with you!
