Chapter 22: Unexpected Joy
Just as the New Year was approaching, Xiao Mubai unexpectedly got a good news that Guo Jin, who was sent to the United States at the beginning of the year, came back. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Hearing the news of Guo Jin's return, Xiao Mubai was overjoyed. Although Guo Jin was asked to go to the United States for development, there was no news for a year, and it was false to say that he was not worried. Xiao Mubai was really worried that this cyborg would be dismantled by the US imperialists and taken to study.
Guo Jin's return this time not only brought hundreds of Chinese technical talents, but also dozens of senior American technical talents. also brought 100 million US dollars to Xiao Mubai, which just solved Xiao Mubai's urgent need. Today's Huamei Pharmaceutical Group, with assets of more than one billion US dollars, is already one of the top pharmaceutical companies in the United States, after nearly a year of development, successfully seized the domestic pharmaceutical market in the United States, and now, is successfully expanding the market to European countries.
Although in various factories and mines, due to the gradual increase in basic technicians, Xiao Mubai adopts the mentoring model of one master and two apprentices, and the reserve of technical personnel has also begun to enter a virtuous expansion cycle. But who in today's China would be overly skilled by technicians? Especially for high-level technicians.
However, what surprised Xiao Mubai the most was that among this group of returned overseas Chinese, there were actually two medical experts, one was Zhao Lingyang, who graduated from Emmanuel College, Cambridge University in the United Kingdom, and the other was Zhou Yuxiang, who graduated from Johns Hopkins University in the United States. For Xiao Mubai, medicine is the shortcoming of his current development, and this time it is just the right time to fill the gap in this regard.
For this group of returned overseas Chinese technical talents, Xiao Mubai has high expectations. Although there are some of them who come to China for the high salary offered by Huamei Company, there are also many people who return to China to serve the country with a heart of fist. The Manchu regime was weak, and no one had a better understanding of the overseas Chinese in this era, and the harsh living environment overseas and the mentality of being inferior everywhere they went made the Chinese life miserable. Therefore, they have more than the people at home who hope that the motherland will become stronger. For American cowboys, they are purely here for money, and in their eyes where profit comes first, there is nothing in this world that makes money more pleasing to the eye. As long as they have money, they can even sell it at a discount.
Through the preliminary induction after reviewing the data, the specialties of this group of people involve dozens of aspects such as machinery, metallurgy, chemical industry, and water conservancy. Seeing this, Xiao Mubai suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked Zhao Mingchuan to arrange a place to settle these precious talents.
After carefully listening to Guo Jin's detailed report on the details of the development of the United States in the United States for a year, Xiao Mubai gave some information on machinery and chemical industry again, and explained some opinions on building Huamei Pharmaceutical Company into a group company with subsidiaries such as automobiles, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals, and agreed to contact him by telegram, and the next day he let the biochemical people rush back to the United States, fortunately, the biochemical people don't know how to be tired, otherwise they really don't know how to complain.
When Guo Jin returned to the United States, he was accompanied by more than 100 high-achieving students carefully selected by Xiao Mubai and Zhao Mingchuan, and after a year of study, these students were able to communicate with each other normally in everyday English. When you arrive in the United States, you don't have to worry about language communication, which will affect your studies.
Time flies quickly, more than a month has passed since Guo Jin came back, and the days are dull day by day, and time is pushing forward little by little.
Nowadays, the entire Quang Nam province is immersed in the joy of a bumper harvest, and the rice and wheat that have just been harvested have made every farmer who has planted it go crazy with joy, and it is a preliminary solution to the problem of food and clothing.
The overseas Chinese talents who returned from the United States were assigned by Xiao Mubai to various factories under the jurisdiction of Huasheng Group. As for those Americans, they were all sent to various technical schools as special lecturers to train technical personnel in all walks of life.
With the rise of Huasheng Group, as a well-known squire in Baoning, in the territory of Zhulin Town, taking advantage of the geographical advantage, and Huasheng Group was the first to cooperate with the Guo family, it can be said that there are a lot of benefits, in the field of clothing factory, shoe store, etc., huge profits, especially in the military procurement is long-term stability. Just a few years ago, I received a large order. The celebrities and gentry of Guangnan Mansion who learned the news were even more determined to cooperate with Xiao Mubai, and they took out land and funds in exchange for technical support in Xiao Mubai's hands, which drove the industrial tide of the entire province and allowed Xiao Mubai's rent and interest reduction to be carried out in advance. The happy Guangnan prefect and other officials smiled, and the happy people of Guangnan Province squinted when they walked.
For a time, the whole Quang Nam province was like a busy construction site, with several factories being laid, completed, and put into production every day. Under this construction trend, Huasheng Group is like a giant ship sailing in the sea, still developing steadily, the only difference is that in this month, the newly established field hospital of the joint defense team, and a medical school for the entire Quang Nam enrollment. Although this is extremely important in Xiao Mubai's eyes, it is not so eye-catching in the vigorous industrial development and construction of the entire Quang Nam Prefecture today, like waves in the sea.
The year 1908 came quietly in the midst of this hustle and bustle, and people who had been busy for a year finally had a rare leisure, walking the streets and alleys among their relatives and friends to tell about the results they had achieved in this year.
Today's Zhulin Town, because of the construction of hydropower stations to develop industry, most of the area is electrified. Standing on the eagle's beak rock, Xiao Mubai looked at the brightly lit Zhulin Town in the distance, and he could hear the roar of the machine in the distance.
Although everything is going smoothly now, the devil knows that he will be targeted that day, and maybe people will sit at home, and disaster will fall from the sky. Now the strength in his hands, including the joint defense team and the patrol team, together there are only 2,000 people. It seems like a lot, but it is half a small regiment, which is really too weak, you must know that the Qing army garrison in Yunnan, including the patrol team and the new army, is at least 40,000 horses. If the military strength can't keep up, then this little bit of wealth in Quang Nam will sooner or later become a dish in the eyes of others, and there will be no scum left to swallow.
Fortunately, there are funds brought back by Guo Jin. It seems that the joint defense team will have to be re-expanded after the year, but fortunately, he is the commander of the patrol team, and he has a good relationship with the prefect, so the establishment problem is easy to solve. In fact, the matter of weapons is also very easy to solve, and it produces 500 Mauser 98 and matching bullets in a month, and the joint defense team can be expanded into regiments in three months.
Next year, Huasheng Group's business focus will be shifted to the production and sales of drugs, including toothpaste, soap, shampoo, etc., new chemicals into the European and American markets, cigarettes and lighters production and sales, which will make Huasheng Group's comprehensive strength and industrial strength enter a new level.
