Chapter 65: Polytechnic Talents, Integrating Gangs
The construction of chemical factories, as Charlie Song said, will not be favored by other capitalists or businessmen in the short term. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoBecause this is not the kind of labor-intensive industry that can produce immediate results, or is not the most suitable for today's society. For example, textiles, oil mills, tobacco factories, and so on.
But Ah Fa has his own ideas, one is that he is more familiar with the profession, and the other is that there are exclusive products as Charlie Song said. Of course, this can't be done by him alone, just like an assistant like Wang Zhuoran, he needs a lot.
According to Ah Fa's observation and experience, China is now too short of science and engineering talents. As for the schools run by Westerners in China, the curriculum is mainly liberal arts and theology, and at most some medical and business courses are offered, which is very practical.
In fact, it is easy to understand that Westerners naturally want to cultivate a group of local Chinese political elites who are close to the West. The liberal arts and theology were also designed to meet this need, with the former being used to infiltrate the superstructure and the latter spreading influence to the people at the bottom. As for industrial and scientific talents, Westerners, of course, do not want to create competitors in the Chinese market for their own enterprises.
And the Chinese at that time, despite the fierce bombardment of Western ships and cannons, had already understood the importance of Western science. However, due to the concept of traditional scholars, there is still some resistance to these "strange tricks", and they are not very willing to put them on the university campus equivalent to "Guozijian".
If you open the history books, you can see that the "elites of the Republic of China era" are basically cultural people engaged in social sciences, and they study and research education, literature, foreign languages, history, philosophy, art, etc., but it is difficult to find any celebrities in engineering and science.
However, the problem was that China's economy was backward at that time, and there was a shortage of talents, especially those who studied natural sciences. The development of practical science and the cultivation of practical talents should have been very urgent issues at that time. But in China, there is not a single polytechnic, including schools built by Westerners.
Therefore, although it is still too difficult for Ah Fa to build a higher education institution, it does not prevent him from first agitating a special research institute or building a vocational and technical school. It may be a laboratory with few people and insufficient equipment, but it will continue to expand and then continue to penetrate into other fields. As for vocational and technical schools, it is necessary to train the recruited workers, from simple to complex, and link the technical level with the salary and salary, which should also stimulate many people's enthusiasm for learning.
The chemical plant was built in this way of thinking, and he was more familiar with the field, and he was able to achieve amazing results through some simple and easy methods. Because he has some theories in his head that were regarded as very common in later generations, but now they are different, these theories have a great sensational effect, and can make the relevant industry develop decades or even hundreds of years ahead of time.
New materials, such as plastics, were completely empirical in their early development, and for more than 60 years, the formation and structure of polymers were not understood. If Afa proposed the concept of macromolecules, it would be revolutionary, pointing out the light path for organic chemistry and a boon for researchers who explore in the dark. It is not without examples that a Nobel Prize has been awarded for just a theory or conjecture.
Of course, Ah found that he didn't have such a big extravagant hope, and he was more opportunistic. But this did not prevent him from working in this direction, and he had already begun to spread the ground. There are no high-level researchers yet, but Wang Zhuoran has also recruited a few teenagers who have studied in the Canton Dialect Museum. Ah Fa pointed out the general direction, and they conducted experiments over and over again to summarize and determine the ratio of various solvents and the reaction time and other detailed data.
And Ah Fa's career is almost all established through extortion and grabbing black gold in the hands of bad guys. Because it did so smoothly, this pattern won't change much for quite some time. Even if he makes money through these businesses in the future, Ah Fa does not plan to stop. Even if you rob all this black gold to help the poor and do charity, it is better than letting the sinful people spend all their time drinking and enjoying it!
He brutally cracked down on the big bosses of the local banks in Chaozhou, and most of the ill-gotten wealth was invested in the construction of industry by Ah Fa, and a small part was donated to Jiluosheng and Jiliangsuo (a refuge institution for prostitutes and girls who could not bear the abuse of the bustard's mother). This is of course because of the limited funds, but it also makes Ah Fa feel guilty and uneasy, so that he is more enthusiastic about grabbing black gold.
After being slaughtered, the Chen family succumbed, paid the ransom, withdrew from the tobacco and soil trade, and invested in the money village instead; The head of the Guo family was still killed under heavy protection, and when the ransom letter was delivered again, and the target of the assassination continued to point to the heirs of the Guo family, they also confessed and paid the money; The Zheng family was unwilling to bow their heads and change careers, but they were afraid of death, so they temporarily left Shanghai, wanting to wait for a while.........
So far, three of the top ten local merchants of the Chaozhou Gang have succumbed, three have run into the French Concession or taken refuge from the limelight for a while, and only four are still stubbornly holding on. In this regard, Ah Fa is not impatient, under the premise of safety first, he still has a lot of time to deal with them and fight. And the tougher the attitude, the longer it drags on, the greater the losses and the more ruthless the killings.
Because Ah Fa's strength is getting stronger and stronger, the violence caused by the consumption of patience is also getting stronger and stronger. This is not only that his body and intelligence are returning to their peak state, but also the enhancement and convenience brought by integrating Jin Sanye's gang.
Speaking of integration, it means that the gang members are not all bad actors. This is actually very normal, like some artists and doctors who eat Jianghu rice, worship the old man in order to have a backer when running the dock, like inviting a door god, "Jiang Taigong is here, there are no taboos"; Some wealthy businessmen are afraid of kidnapping tickets, afraid of being bullied, and sometimes want to get cheap, so they give heavy gifts, find a way, enter the door, and seek protection; There were also some wealthy and powerful industrialists who joined the gang in order to protect and develop their own businesses by borrowing the old man's brand.
As for those workers and peasants who have no means of livelihood and no guarantee of their lives and property, and who think that the gang can protect their own vital interests, there is a greater difference between them and those hooligans and villains who use the power of the gang to harm the people and do evil.
