"Uncles and brothers, it's rare to get together today, why don't you let me be the host, wouldn't it be nice for everyone to drink and chat together?" Young Master Liang saw that it was getting late, so he sent out an invitation.

Rong Hong immediately objected: "Today you are a guest from afar, and it is not your turn to treat you, let's go, it's not early, let's set off together." As soon as he said this, Young Master Liang was really inconvenient to rob hard, and he couldn't hurt people's face.

So a few people found a restaurant near Gaocang Temple, and Young Master Liang instructed Liang Qiang and Liang Zhuang to let them leave.

After three rounds of wine, everyone was enthusiastic, and Young Master Liang stood up: "Uncles and seniors, the kid replaces the wine with tea, I salute you a glass, the kid has a reluctant request, after drinking this cup, please refer to it for me." ”

Rong Hong said with a smile: "It's better to say it directly if you have something to say, otherwise we won't be able to drink you, if you are drunk by a young man, it will be ridiculous and generous."

"The senior has a life, then I will be respectful than obey the fate, I will say it directly, I want to establish a science and engineering university in Shanghai, teaching advanced mathematics, physics, chemistry, civil engineering, industrial design, manufacturing, metallurgy, geology and mining and other majors in Europe and the United States.

"Oh, Jiechen is not wrong, you kid is really a great talent! However, such a university of science and technology is not something that can be done, it requires a large amount of capital investment, a large number of talents to join, Brother Liang don't talk big" Although Rong Hong is keen on education, he also knows that the investment in education is huge, and there is no return in the short term, how can this young student have such a strong strength.

Seeing this, Huang Kuan hurriedly explained to the junior brother: "You don't believe in the ability of Senior Brother Liang, but I believe in him, he has entrusted me to establish Guangzhou Medical College, this time I came to Shanghai to see you, and secondly, to see if there are any like-minded people in Shanghai, I want to invite them to teach in Guangzhou." ”

"Oh", this time it was the five people of their Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau who exclaimed together, before their thoughts were similar to Rong Hong, after Huang Kuan said this, they couldn't help but believe it, it was really the world's big, there were no surprises.

"It's human nature that you don't believe it, I often encounter this situation, I have already founded Asia's largest textile company in Guangzhou, Asia's largest shipbuilding company, and also founded the Daqing telegraph company, I believe that it will not be long before the telegraph line will reach Shanghai," Master Liang said everything he could.

"What!" These people exclaimed again, this is too powerful, let alone a teenager, even if it is an adult, it can't be done! These people set up a Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, which was still with the strong support of Zeng Guofan, and everyone worked together for several years before it took shape.

"You may ask, where do you get so much tech talent? It's foreigners, to be precise, foreigners come in together to buy shares, but the controlling party is us. I saw foreigners in Guangzhou who were really desperate to make money, and that kind of professionalism was still admirable, so as long as they were brought in, they would naturally hire technical talents from China to do things, and it was much more convenient for them to hire people than for us to invite people." Young Master Liang further explained to them.

Xu Shou nodded: "Your method is good, we have also invited a lot of foreigners and technicians here, but they are not easy to manage, they procrastinate and grind, and they are not sincere at all, but these foreign masters are definitely not this kind of work attitude in their country, so it is a good way to let the foreigner boss manage the foreigner himself", Xu Shou immediately figured out the truth.

"That's the truth," Hua Hengfang agreed: "Brother Liang's method is really wonderful, to put it bluntly, it is to give up a small part of the interests and build this company faster and better, but this situation can only be implemented in a private enterprise like him, and it cannot be implemented in a government-run enterprise like ours."

"Little brother is really talented! The so-called ambition is not old, it seems that our group of adults are far worse than you," Li Shanlan also opened her mouth to praise.

"Sir is false! The kid was able to do these things not because of the human and financial resources of the family. However, I only hope to get financial resources to help me run education, because running an enterprise can make a fortune at most, and only education can give us hope in China and our nation."

"Good!" Rong Hong couldn't hold back anymore when he heard this, slapped the table and stood up: "Senior Brother Liang's words have gone to my heart, we only know how powerful they are when we go to foreign countries, but why are we lagging behind?" In the final analysis, education is backward, there is no school to teach science and technology in the entire Qing Dynasty, and the scientific and technological talents of the entire Qing Dynasty are the four of you here, you are proud, but this is also the sadness of this country, just imagine a dignified Celestial Empire, but no one cares about the development of the world, and has been beaten into the country by foreigners several times, and still has not woken up, isn't this sad? ”

"What the senior said is that running an education requires a lot of money investment, but do we have no money in the Qing Dynasty? I'm afraid not, the annual financial income of the Qing court is 80 million taels of silver, but it takes 40 million taels to support the hardcore crops of the Manchurians every year, and the rest needs to support the army, the palace and the court officials, and it is tight every year. But if there is no burden of this hardcore crop, 40 million taels of silver can run ten universities, then in ten years, there will be 100 universities, if we have 100 universities on the land of China, why worry that China is not strong? Why worry that the nation is not strong? Liang Sihan continued to analyze.

Li Shanlan, Hua Yufang, Xu Shou and his son are all very smart people, because of their love for science and disappointment with the imperial examination system, coupled with their good family conditions, they embarked on this path of learning that is incompatible with the scholars of the Qing Dynasty, they have been subjected to countless cynicism and can still persevere, proving their love for this cause, they understand that only science and technology can make China stronger, and their persistence is also a love for the motherland.

"That's why the kid will make up his mind to run this University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, Senior Rong, I hope that this University of Science and Technology can be as good as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States in the future, so the kid asks you to help me achieve this wish, this Jiangnan has always been a place where humanities gather, outstanding people, in the future I will also run a medical school here, a normal college, a business law school, a ship and shipping college, a communication engineering school, a railway transportation college and so on, to build Shanghai into China's education center, I make a bet with you, With your help, within 10 years, all these schools will be built in Shanghai."

Everyone was skeptical when they heard this, but they couldn't help but be full of blood and strength, Li Shanlan took the lead and shouted: "If you can really build these schools, you can tear down my old bones, if you see these schools, I can be blind even if I die."

Xu Shou also stood up: "If you can really do these big things, let alone help each other, our father and son, no, I also have a little son, our father and son can give you your life, the little brother just needs to take care of our food and housing."

"Hahaha, great goodness, great goodness! How can you forget me about such a good thing, count me in! Hua Yufang laughed and joined in.

"Good! All right! Today is the happiest day since I came back from the United States, Senior Brother Liang, we will definitely not refuse, it's up to you."

Liang Sihan looked at Huang Kuan and said: "Then I will borrow a sentence from Senior Huang that day: I don't dare to ask for what I want." Encourage all of you! ”
