Jiangxi, Nanchang, "Xinyi Heng" money village.

"See, these funds remitted from overseas are all used to run staff schools."

"There are so many funds taken up by the school's expenses, but Hanzhi doesn't seem to care. I don't know what he thinks. ”

"Have you ever thought about dedication, apart from industry, what else can be used to save the country and save the people?"

"The current fashionable saying, when it comes to saving the country and saving the people, is the so-called iron-blooded unity, enriching the country and strengthening the army," Niu Jingye, the manager of the money village, smiled, and said to Fu Xiaowen, the boss who raised this question, "I am only a shallow learner, and I am not as talented as those who talk about thousands of words in the newspaper at every turn. ”

"Although Hanzhi himself is not here, I know his answer." Fu Xiaowen shook his flowery head, and a pair of deep-set eyes let out light.

"How do you know?" Niu Jingye asked with a smile.

"Just from the use of the money." Fu Xiaowen pointed to the list of accounts placed on the table, "The answer is here." ”

"I want to hear about it." Niu Jingye asked curiously.

"The prosperity of the country must first be the prosperity of education, and the strengthening of the country must first strengthen education." Fu Xiaowen said, "In addition to industry, only education can strengthen the country and rejuvenate the country!" Education can even be called the foundation of national prosperity and national strength! ”

"If you say that in the newspapers, I guess there will be a lot of talented men and women who will be unhappy." Niu Jingye remembered the recent newspaper articles about "changes in the national system" and "imperial power", and laughed.

"They have been shouting about strengthening the country all the time, but in fact, they are all useless battles that are at the end of the race." Fu Xiaowen's face showed disdain, "The reason why this book is stronger than my China is first in education. ”

"Yes! After the Meiji Restoration, a policy of all-round opening up was implemented, and a large number of young people and officials were selected to study in the West in order to learn from the Western political and legal systems, science and technology, and the country increased its investment in education. Within a few decades, he was among the great powers. Niu Jingye sighed, "In fact, there is such a strong neighbor by your side, based on the revitalization of education, and then the example of enriching the country and strengthening the army, our China should have done better." ”

"It's not that people of insight in China don't pay attention to it, but they are limited by financial resources, so they can only look forward to learning and sigh." Fu Xiaowen smiled bitterly and said, "Like our Fu family, you don't know the situation of running a school over the years. ”

"Hanzhi has invested so much money in running schools this time, and most of them are staff schools." Niu Jingye said, "I think now we can all understand the joints." ”

Listening to Niu Jingye's words, Fu Xiaowen nodded, and at this time, a girl in a moon-white dress walked in with a beautiful blue and white porcelain pot, she lowered her head and came to the table where Fu Xiaowen and Niu Jingye were sitting, took two beautiful colorful teacups, and poured the two of them fragrant tea.

With a faint fragrance permeating the room, Niu Jingye couldn't help but admire, he gently picked up the teacup, closed his eyes and took a deep breath of air, savoring the pleasure brought by the fragrance of tea.

"Yao'er's tea is getting better and better." Fu Xiaowen was also the same as Niu Jingye, took a deep breath of tea, and glanced at the girl with a smile, "Here, only Yao'er's tea can make me taste it." ”

After listening to the praise of the elders, the girl's face turned slightly red, she showed a shy and quiet smile, and did not speak, but stood quietly aside.

"Yao'er seems to have grown taller again, and she has become more delicate." Niu Jingye looked at Fu Xiaowen's adopted daughter Fu Zhuoyao and sighed, "I still remember the last time she was seriously ill." Seeing that people are about to die, but after a few injections of medicine, they were saved, and the so-called resurrection of the dead is like this. ”

"If you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing in the future." Fu Xiaowen looked at his daughter beside him lovingly, and said with emotion, "It may also be that there is a providence in the dark, if it weren't for saving her, we wouldn't know Hanzhi." ”

Hearing Yang Shuoming's name, Fu Zhuoyao's eyes lit up slightly, as if she was afraid that the two elders would see it, she just hung her head slightly, but she didn't miss a word from the two elders.

"In fact, according to Hanzhi's admissions standards, Yao'er has also reached the age of going to college."

Niu Jingye took a sip of fragrant tea and said while tasting the fragrance of tea.

"Thanks to Hanzhi's relationship, the number of male and female students in our Jiangxi Province studying in Beijing is ten times higher than in previous years." Fu Xiaowen looked at her daughter beside her and asked, "Does Yao'er want to go to school in the capital?" ”

"Yao'er also wants to go to school in the capital, but she is reluctant to go to school with her father and mother." Fu Zhuoyao gently rubbed Fu Xiaowen's shoulder and said softly.

"Let's go then." Fu Xiaowen enjoyed his daughter's massage comfortably, and said with a smile, "The opportunity is rare, after all, now he Yang Hanzhi still has money for his children in Jiangxi Province to go to college, who knows in the future?" ”

"yes, yes." Niu Jingye put down the teacup and nodded, "I'm worried that he won't be able to afford these expenses in the future." ”

"After Yao'er enters Beijing, she must go to General Yang's mansion first to thank Mrs. Yang for saving her life." Fu Xiaowen patted his daughter's hand and said solemnly, "If it weren't for the medicine sent by Mrs. Yang, I'm afraid my father wouldn't be able to look at you now." ”

"My daughter understands." Fu Zhuoyao nodded in agreement.

"The capital is the land of the tiger, it is easy for him Yang Hanzhi to go this time, if he wants to come out, I am afraid it will be difficult." Fu Xiaowen thought of Yang Shuoming, who was far away in Yanjing, and sighed.

"I'm afraid not necessarily." Niu Jingye seemed to have remembered something, smiled quietly, and said.

Hubei, Hanyang, Hanyeping Coal and Iron Factory Mining Company.

"The total amount of 45 million yuan has been settled clearly yesterday, and the guarantee clause has also been invalidated.

"The new blast furnace ordered has been shipped from the United States, and the American technicians hired have arrived in advance."

"In the next few months, the company will build a large staff school nearby, where both the children of workers and non-workers can be educated, the salaries of teachers will definitely be more generous than any school in the mouth, and the housing will also be provided by the company."

Listening to the assurances of the person in charge of the company, a satisfied smile appeared on Sun Hui's face.

For China's largest coal and steel conglomerate, he can finally give an explanation to Yang Shuoming, who is far away in Yanjing.

"Supervisor Yang has always had great expectations for the Han Factory, and this time he did not hesitate to spend a huge amount of money to acquire the Han Factory, in order to rejuvenate the Han Factory and become the leader of our Chinese iron and steel industry." Sun Hui looked at the person in charge of Han Zhiping Company in a room, and said in a deep voice, "I hope this blood transfusion will be worth the money." ”

After listening to Sun Hui's words, all the people even claimed to be.

"In order to make China's iron and steel industry have successors, Supervisor Yang has repeatedly explained that it is necessary to run this staff school well." Sun Hui continued, "This must be implemented as soon as possible, Supervisor Yang will come to inspect it in person at that time, if it is not done...... his eyes became sharp, and he swept over the people present one by one, "I think it's not just as simple as rolling up and leaving." ”

"Please rest assured that the company will do its best to provide the best guarantee for the school, and after two months, no, one month, one month, the students will be able to attend classes in the school. From now on, the company will have special funds to ensure education expenses, and of course, the treatment of teachers will also be the best. ”

"Without education, there is no future for the company. With the company's current financial resources, it can fully undertake to provide free compulsory education for the children of the company's employees and the children of nearby residents, which is the social responsibility that the company must fulfill now. Sun Hui said.

Hearing the word "free", some people were bleeding beads of sweat from the top of their heads.

Up to now, because the process of Hanzhiping becoming a person and a subordinate enterprise of the company has come too quickly, many people in this old Chinese steel company have not fully adapted.

Hanye Ping Coal & Iron Works & Mines Co., Ltd. is the largest coal and steel conglomerate in China and Asia, and the "cradle of China's iron and steel industry" by the merger of Hanyang Iron Works, Daye Iron Mine and Pingxiang Coal Mine. By 1917, the enterprise had developed into a large enterprise with more than 8,000 employees, an annual output of 90,000 tons of steel, 550,000 tons of iron ore, and 630,000 tons of coal, accounting for more than 90 percent of China's annual steel output. Since Han Yeping Company is the only new iron and steel complex in China, controlling Han Yeping Company is equivalent to controlling China's heavy industry. Therefore, I will specifically put forward the clause of "joint establishment" of Hanyeping Company in the "21st Article".

In fact, Han Yeping Company has long had business and trade contacts with him. At the beginning of its establishment, due to financial difficulties, Han Yeping Company borrowed a lot of money from Yue himself, and by 1911, Han Yeping Company had used a total of 32 million taels of silver, except for 10 million taels of principal, the remaining 22 million taels were borrowed from Yue himself. The loan was subject to extremely strict conditions: the loan was to be secured by the property of the factory and mine and the iron sand, with a term of 30 years, the iron sand must be sold to the company except for the Hanyang Iron Works for its own use, the price of the iron sand was agreed upon by both parties (in fact, it was set unilaterally by the company), and it was not affected by the price in the international market, and the Hachiman Iron Works could be pre-purchased, and so on. According to these conditions, from 1908 to 1915, more than 70,000 tons of iron sand were transported from Daye Iron Mine every year, which made the Hanyeping Company actually subject to the merchants of Yueben. In order to get rid of this unfavorable situation, Yuan Shikai once planned to nationalize the Han Yeping Company, but before he could do it, he said that he preemptively came up with a "21 Article", although the "21 Articles" were finally canceled with the victory of the Chinese side of the Sino-Chinese War, but the situation in which the Han Yeping Company was controlled by the businessmen has not been fundamentally changed.

And now, China's largest coal-steel conglomerate has been bought by Mr. Yang with a large amount of dollars earned from overseas, and has become a subsidiary of Renhe and the company. From this day on, Hanyeping Company will become a real Chinese iron and steel enterprise, no longer subject to himself.

"It seems like a great good thing to have a staff school that can benefit generations even though it is expensive......," one person chimed in," one person chimed in.

"The establishment of the staff school is not just about doing good deeds, it is actually more for the company," Sun Hui said, "You can think about it, more than ten years later, the children of the company who receive education will eventually become part of all the company's wealth." And the value they create for the company in the future is far beyond what the company pays for today. ”

"Now in addition to the primary school, we can also run a middle school, in the future to run a university, of course, we also want to build a technical school, now there is no higher education in the company, let alone a technical school, so Yang supervised the company asked us to build all of these, especially the technical school, can provide the company with the technical personnel that the company needs now. There are also colleges and universities, which can provide companies with the engineering professionals they need in the future, as well as other types of talent. This is not a company spending money to run a school, but a company running a talent reserve center. ”

Sun Hui's words made many people's faces appear excited, and also made many people's faces full of surprise.

The astronomical amount of money for the acquisition of the company has already made many people dumbfounded, and now this living god of wealth has to invest a lot of money in these places that cannot immediately receive practical results, and looking at the whole of China, there are not many people with such strong financial resources.

"The reason why Hanchang is not well managed and has high debts is, to put it simply, it is caused by 'poor planning, improper employment, poor management, and poor environment'." Sun Hui continued, "Employing people is particularly important, I hope you can understand." ”

As soon as Sun Hui's words fell, applause immediately rang out below.

Sun Hui nodded, didn't say anything, but began to think about how to write the report to Yang Shuoming.

Yanjing, Fuma Hutong, Governor's Mansion.

“…… Since the establishment of the Chahan factory, there is no overall plan, and there is no specialized knowledge, the use of money to 50 million yuan, before and after the raised share capital is less than 10 million, and all of them are borrowed from foreign banks, the current debt is high, precariously ...... said"

“…… The iron plant is located in Hanyang, which is too far away from the mine, with inconvenient transportation and high freight. The failure of employing people is very disadvantageous, and the factory and mine personnel are all fraudsters, and the managing directors are not to mention the second; The price of iron is low, and it is constrained by the capital, the price increase is limited, and the profit is not much, which is the third; …… For more than ten years, Chahan Factory has been trapped here, and it is said that it is in the midst of difficulties and obstacles. At present, although the power is in my own hands, it is not easy to straighten out the relationship between the parties......"

“…… Despite all these difficulties, there is still a sense of cheering up. …… In the first few years of Chahan factory, it made a lot of profits, and it was possible to save the right to foreign goods. …… Since the opening of the Han Railway, check the import table of the customs register, the import of iron 106613 stone in 1906, and the sharp shrinkage to 51,614 stone in 1907, can be described as the effective test of the Han Railway's resistance to foreign iron. Not only does the Shanghai sand turning plant use Hanyang pig iron, but there is no foreign iron import, and the Pacific region of the United States also likes to use Hanyang pig iron, and the number of people exported to the company every year is particularly huge.

Today, it is said that the three major industries of Han Yeping, that is, the fundamental of China's recovery of rights and rights to resist foreign goods......"

"In addition to the Lubao section, the Jinghan rail is more than 2,000 miles, all of which are made by Hanchang. Although it was inevitable to lose money, the price of 4 million and hundreds of thousands of dollars in a few years was also refined. ”

“…… China knew about smelting steel hundreds of years ago, but it stuck to the rules and made no progress for hundreds of years. The world needs supplies, and there is no way to cope with them. Until now, it is known that following the new law, iron-making and steel-making is the history of Hanchang, that is, the starting point of China's iron and steel history, and it is also ......"

“…… If Hanyang Iron Works can re-emerge in China, it will be a great way to see the mountains...... The China Iron Market will go far and wide across the ocean, and it will be better than the world's shopping malls with Britain and the United States......"

"The pig iron produced by the Hanyang Iron Works has been made into steel in a flash, and after being made into steel, it has become all kinds of steel goods. Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant is the pioneer of China's new method of iron mining and iron making, and the rails pulled are only five points out of 100 with defects. …… If the Han factory is revitalized, China should be comparable to the world's biggest competitors in the steel world. …… Thinking differently cannot stop China from gradually becoming a steel power. ”

Yang Shuoming put down the letter paper in his hand and fell into contemplation little by little.

And Xi Xue, who was standing on the side, looked at him thinking attentively, and a strange bright color flashed in his eyes unconsciously, "The problem now is not in the technical aspect. Yang Shuoming said to himself, "No matter how huge the initial cost is, this staff school must be built." ”

For high technology, his "super computer eye" can be said to have endless creativity, but a fact in front of him is that no matter how big the "super computer eye" is, it is impossible for all Chinese to master the high-tech knowledge in it overnight.

At least, he can't use the "supercomputer eye" right now to make the beauty in front of him become the same "jack of all trades" as him.

What China lacks now is talent who can understand and develop high technology!

If you can establish your own staff school for Chinese to train technical personnel, you may not be able to find hundreds of professional and technical personnel at once, but even if you find only a dozen or dozens of them, if you let them come over as teachers, then in a few years, you will have enough professional and technical personnel!

Although it costs a lot to set up these professional schools, they will have the first batch of professional and technical students to graduate after two to three years, and after ten years, they will be able to stand alone, during this period, if they want to expand the scale of Hanyeping Company, they will no longer face the situation of lack of talents!

If you want to develop, talent is the last word!
