The distance between Hu Xiaoyan and Huo Yuanjia and the Chinese young man was at least fifty meters, and they didn't have time to react at all, so they watched the man jump into the icy Thames.

The river was not fast, but the man jumped into the river and made a splash, and the man disappeared into the river.

"Help!" Hu Xiaoyan didn't have time to think about it, and jumped into the Thames River at a trot. He can swim, but his technique is not good. The calm river water is okay, but in the case of the Thames, Hu Xiaoyan is not sure to save people.

And Huo Yuanjia, well, his swimming skills may not be as good as Hu Xiaoyan, but his kung fu has reached a certain level, and his kung fu in the river is much better than Hu Xiaoyan's.

The two jumped into the Thames River one after another and swam in the direction of the Chinese who fell into the water. But when he got there, he didn't find the man. Hu Xiaoyan showed his head and took a deep breath, not seeing Huo Yuanjia show his head. I didn't see the shadow of the Chinese. There was a crowd of people on the Thames, and three young men jumped down one after another.

He took a deep breath and dived again. When he got up for the second time to ventilate, he saw Huo Yuanjia ventilating. And the three young men who came down also stuck out their heads one after another.

The five of them sank into the river again, and Hu Xiaoyan swam farther this time, and finally saw a piece of clothing in the slightly murky river. The owner of the garment is floating and sinking under the water level. His body was no longer shaking.

Hu Xiaoyan hurriedly swam over, grabbed his clothes, and narrowed the distance. Finally grabbed the body of the man who fell into the water. He struggled to get out of the water. I saw Huo Yuanjia beside him, and the three British young men were also swimming towards this side.

Huo Yuanjia's first task was to protect Hu Xiaoyan, and after the first ventilation, he wandered around Hu Xiaoyan, and at this time he was supporting Hu Xiaoyan and pushing the man out of the water together.

Three Englishmen finally swam over, and together with five of them, pushed the man overboard to the shore.

This is a haggard young Chinese. It should not be more than thirty years old. Even compared to foreigners, he is handsome. It's a pity that the face is very bad. There were some black and thin faces, but they were all a little white after the blisters.

Hu Xiaoyan could only gasp and began to press the Chinese man's belly, which had some effect. The man began to spit water. It was only a moment later that the man began to fall into a coma again, and he couldn't even press out the water.

He had no choice but to turn this person upside down with Huo Yuanjia. I shook it like that. The man began to spit again. After a while, Hu Xiaoyan asked Huo Yuanjia to put this person down.

After pressing his chest again, the man slowly regained his breath.

The three foreign boys on one side cheered. One of them ran over and hugged Hu Xiaoyan. This made Hu Xiaoyan a little embarrassed.

In the end, Hu Xiaoyan called a carriage and sent the man to the hospital. After arranging it again, he opened a hotel room and took a bath for himself and Huo Yuanjia. He also had a date with Mr. Mike.

The date was at a western restaurant. Hu Xiaoyan took Huo Yuanjia to order a meal first, and then went to the hospital to see the river jumper.

"Thank you." The first thing the Chinese who jumped into the river said when they met was this. Then without saying a word, he looked at the roof above him with a sad expression.

"There's nothing you can't get by. You have a good rest, and we'll talk about it later. All right? Hu Xiaoyan knew that this man was the most vulnerable now, so he didn't want to say more. lest it irritate his fragile nerves.

I don't know if he listened or not, but Hu Xiaoyan still asked Huo Yuanjia to stay and take care of him, so as not to make this person think about it. Although it is difficult for people who have committed suicide once to have suicidal thoughts again, just in case. Everyone is Chinese, and when they meet, they will help as much as they can.

The western restaurant is also near the University of London, and the location is good. So the passenger flow is also okay. It was the first time Hu Xiaoyan had come here to eat. Because he has been trained by Mrs. Luo's cooking skills at home, he has no love for Western food. I think that the steak eating method of Western food is simply a barbarian practice. Two layers of cooked, or even one layer of cooked steak, your sister's. That's still good for the raw land! The sage said that Ru Mao drank blood, and that was just the case. The Europeans eat like this, and they actually claim to be civilized people, which is not far behind cannibals.

The most infuriating thing is that many Chinese actually regard eating steak as a fashion, a symbol of civilized people! Your sister, Hu Xiaoyan can only put up a middle finger at these people. There is nothing to say about this group of people who have forgotten their ancestors.

Hu Xiaoyan picked up Angel at the gate of the university first, and went to the western restaurant to wait together.

Since Hu Xiaoyan pulled Angel together for a family meeting that night, Angel immediately turned into a lady. The well-behaved appearance made Hu Xiaoyan very greedy. But he knew it wasn't the time.

Mr. Mike was really good, and he brought three foreigners.

Hu Xiaoyan was introduced as "Your Excellency the General Manager of the Anhui Mining Department and the Member of the Anhui Provincial Council, and the Trustee of the largest university in Asia." ”。

When Hu Xiaoyan picked up Mike's teacher, he told Mike his identity specifically. Such an introduction is still very attractive for university teachers.

When the three teachers heard this introduction, they were "shocked" and immediately lowered their heads.

Mr. Mike introduced the three as "Henry Henry in Metallurgical Chemistry, Toms Professor, Professor of Mining, and Nicholas, Assistant Researcher in Atomic Physics." Nicholas was a Russian who was a mad admirer of the periodic table published in 1869 by the Russian chemist Mendeleev. He did countless experiments for this purpose, but unfortunately, his research not only spent the research funds given by his supervisor and his own salary, but also mortgaged his own house. To put it simply, this Mr. Nicholas is bankrupt. He is the target of Mike's recommendation. The other two just heard about it and took the initiative to come and pull investment. In this era, university funding was very limited. Unlike in later generations, any project could be supported by state funds.

In this era, all research requires the researcher himself to look for the investment of the capitalist. Tesla, for example, once received funding from Morgan to build a 29-meter-high radio transmitter. But the launch pad was not successful, and Morgan felt that the project was of little value, so he withdrew the investment. Led to the bankruptcy of Tesla's project.

And the Nicholas in front of him is much more rational than Tesla, at least he hasn't taken out loan sharks.

After everyone was in harmony, they started to eat, only Hu Xiaoyan and Angel were eating white bread, and everyone else was eating bloody steak wearing napkins.

Henry and Thomas were really only interested in Hu Xiaoyan's funds, and without Hu Xiaoyan's response, they agreed to Hu Xiaoyan's request. That is to send his fellows to teach at universities in Shanghai in exchange for Hu Xiaoyan's investment. Each is at least a teaching assistant, and each researcher receives an investment of £10,000.

After thinking about it, Henry and Thomas agreed to send a total of ten researchers, including six from Henry and four from Tom. Among them, Henry sent an associate professor-level researcher, Harry. Harry is his old partner. He will be based in Shanghai as Dean of the School of Chemistry.

Nicholas had gone bankrupt because of his frantic search for new elements and the study of the periodic table, so he meaninglessly agreed to come down. He agreed to lead his fellows to universities in Asia and serve as deans of physicists. But he also had a request that he hoped that Hu Xiaoyan would give him a complete set of chemistry labs.

It's weird, isn't it? Researchers in atomic physics need a set of chemical research laboratories. But this was the characteristic of that era. The distance between physics and chemistry is nowhere near as great as in later generations.

Of course, there is no shortage of necessary physical laboratories. Nicholas had run out of money for his research, and his researchers were almost gone. Anyway, he agreed to bring in three researchers. It is an authentic physics researcher.

Everyone ate this meal very carefully. Everyone has achieved their goal.

Sure enough, it was right to buy horse bones. In the following days, Hu Xiaoyan received an invitation from a professor at Oxford University, but Hu Xiaoyan did not go over, but only replied, asking the embassy for the conditions of Henry and others to be bailed. After seeing the letter of guarantee from the Chinese embassy, the professor agreed to send five chemistry students and five physics students to teach at Chengxin University in Shanghai, and he would also receive an investment of £100,000.

Hu Xiaoyan didn't have time to pay attention to the professor, because his whole body, plus his own manor and his future father-in-law's tavern, would not exceed 20,000 pounds. His estate was the most expensive, but it would not exceed five thousand pounds, and his restaurant and the future father-in-law's tavern would not exceed five thousand pounds combined. The value of this is just land.

So Hu Xiaoyan is very short of money now, very, very short of money

After Hu Xiaoyan returned to the manor after picking up the Chinese who jumped into the river, he had to think about making money.

The problem of talents, because of the propaganda of Ma Gu and Mr. Mark, during this time, people kept coming to contact the school, and for this, the British Empire Foreign Office was alarmed. The staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs came to warn, but Hu Xiaoyan gave him a in the name of normal exchanges between schools. But Hu Xiaoyan knew that he had come under the attention of the British Empire's intelligence services.

But he didn't care, he didn't have a dime anyway, and if he couldn't find the money in a few days, all his promises would be in vain. Whether it's a university teacher or a device or something, it will be the moon in the mirror.

Hu Xiaoyan sat on the roof of a house on the farm, holding Angel and looking at the stars in the sky, but he was crying and thinking about how he could get a large sum of money. Otherwise, his credit will go bankrupt, and Mr. Mike will be unlucky. Qian is really a devil!
