Chapter XXVII
After they were "sent out of the door", the comrades watched You Gou sit helplessly on the stool with his head down, and they didn't know how to comfort You Gou for a while. After this incident came out, it was actually not much to comfort You Wu. You Wei also had to give an explanation to the party members first. But this matter involves both the party and the family. It is difficult for anyone to come to a conclusion. It is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs, which in itself is a very troublesome thing.
Not only You Wei, Qi Huishen also noticed that the eyes of other comrades fell on him from time to time. You Huishen's family is certainly involved, and Qi Huishen's family is also involved without exception. Qi Huishen was very busy this time, and he didn't discuss his father Qi Si'e's views on special drugs. Occasionally asked, his father just smiled incomprehensibly, and asked in the attitude of a teacher examining a student, "How are you going to solve this matter?" Qi Huishen is very familiar with this attitude, and when Qi Si Emei wants to teach Qi Huishen some ways to do business, he will say so. In the past, Qi Huishen would always run away, and this time was no exception. If you can delay the apportionment with your father for a day, you will have a showdown one day later. As a son, he felt that his father was really not so easy to deal with.
But the statement of the You brothers has obviously involved Qi Si'e. When Qi Huishen was busy with his own affairs, Qi Si'e should have taken action. Qi Huishen desperately searched for the past events about his father's business in his memory, hoping to find ideas from the middle that would help solve the current situation.
"Let's have a meeting." Chen Ke proposed.
Hearing this, the comrades moved their stools and sat around the large table inside the experiment.
"We'll continue to discuss the topic of Fang Cai, and I'll give a briefing on the lecture." To everyone's surprise, Chen Ke's order of motions was not aimed at emergencies.
No! You Yu lowered his head and said, "Let's make this matter of my brother clear first." ”
"Everybody's here, and they've heard it. Didn't your brother make it clear? Chen Ke replied.
"What did he make clear?" The voice is low, somewhat like the feeling of a feline roaring when it is angry.
"He wants you to go back, and he told me very clearly that he wants you to open your own shop to cure medicine."
"And then? When he finished, everyone just listened? ”
"We'll talk about that later, how about that? There are rules for holding meetings, and you, as a party member, have to abide by the party's discipline. The meeting has a charter for the meeting, and we all have to abide by it. Chen Ke calmly pointed out the facts. This is not only Chen Ke's desire to get away with it, but it is not Chen Ke's trick. Historically, it was only by relying on iron-like discipline that the party was able to overwhelm all enemies. As the founder of the People's Party, Chen Ke himself must not undermine the party's discipline. Moreover, the incident that You Gou encountered was not a problem of You Gou alone, but a problem involving the party. If we can't bring everyone's emotions back on the track of discipline now, the discussion that follows is very likely to get out of hand. This is also something that Chen Ke cares about very much.
You Wei looked up at Chen Ke, Chen Ke's face did not have any emotional fluctuations, and he was completely businesslike. Such calmness made You Wei suddenly feel a kind of resentment towards Chen Ke. If Chen Ke showed comfort or even dissatisfaction at this time, it would make You Wei's mood ease. It's Chen Ke's calmness that makes You Wei feel very uncomfortable.
Looking at the others again, everyone was either concerned or just looked down and sighed. But no one wants to support Youyou. You Wei turned his head and asked Qi Huishen, "If I want to join my agenda, what did the previous charter say?" ”
Qi Hui thought about it deeply, but asked He Zudao with an apologetic smile, "Zudao." I'm a little confused at this moment, how the things on that topic are regulated. You help me take a look. ”
He Zudao quickly flipped to the previous record, and then read, "The temporary agenda is required to be advanced, and the party members must be notified first." If two-thirds of the participants agree, an early start can be made. ”
"Then let's vote." You Yu said immediately after hearing this.
Chen Ke nodded, there are a total of eight members attending the meeting now, Chen Ke, Qi Huishen, Chen Tianhua, Hua Xiongmao, You Wei, Zhou Yuanxiao, He Zudao, and Qin Wuan. In other words, You had to get the consent of the six members before she could discuss it as she wanted.
Only You Wei and He Zudao voted in favor.
You Yan's eyes were shining, and she glanced around the other comrades very seriously, and her mouth tightened and she stopped talking.
"The lecture went well. In particular, the response to the current course has been excellent. We pay tribute to Comrade You Gou for his hard work. After Chen Ke finished speaking, he began to applaud. All comrades except You Wei, including Zhou Yuanxiao, expressed their sincere respect. This is not perfunctory, just the parents who signed up, there are now more than 340 people. And parents who want to make a special contact with the school, there are even more. At present, the school has not yet built a campus, and Qi Huishen has to say that the school site will be announced in the next few days. Before the big lecture, everyone, including Chen Ke, did not expect such a result.
You Wei was still strained, but with the applause, her face became more and more relaxed, and finally You Wei covered her mouth, and tears rolled down.
Chen Tianhua looked at all this and was quite moved. Chen Ke's revolution is so unusual, so Chen Tianhua himself is more curious about it. The revolution in which Chen Tianhua participated was either the revolution of the gentry, and a bunch of wealthy people designed the road of armed revolution. Kill this, kill that. Either the revolution carried out by the international students in Japan, the resentment and the passion to be able to participate in a sport are really high. However, there is a kind of fanaticism and indescribable decadence in the boiling emotions. Anyway, as long as they refuse to adhere to their attitude, they are all bad people. Especially for international students, it is clearly divided into two factions.
Chen Tianhua has a warm personality, and in such a sport, he does feel a great sense of high spirit. But as time went on, he became a little confused. Why does the revolution always fail to convince those whom Chen Tianhua likes very much? And why are there so many bad habits among the revolutionaries that Chen Tianhua cannot accept? This made Chen Tianhua very confused and even a little painful.
It has not been long here, but what Chen Tianhua sees is an organization full of vitality and vigor, an organization full of human touch. There is no resentment, no anger, and there is no peculiar perverse spirit in the bones of the revolutionaries around Chen Tianhua. Whenever he thinks of the revolutionary program firmly put forward by Chen Ke, Chen Tianhua feels a kind of shock, and when he comes into contact with these people, there is a kind of harmony and warmth that can only be achieved when he gets along with his friends sincerely. Everything here is substantial, honest and well-organized. Chen Ke maintained order, and the comrades' observance of order was the revolution that Chen Tianhua was looking forward to.
was secretly sighing, when he heard Chen Ke continue: "Next, I have a few requests. First, do you know anyone who is familiar with the 24th History? At least I want them to look through some material and they can find it. I need three assistants. ”
This is a relatively high requirement and a little inexplicable. Chen Ke didn't want to sell any stuffy gourds, "The manuscript I wrote with Xingtai was slower than I thought. This is particularly the case with regard to data collection. Now I need a couple of people to help me find information. Xingtai is well-informed and strong, I really understood it this time. All the information I was looking for, Xingtai remembered. Because of this, I originally thought it would be a brief one. Now I've changed my mind. ”
"Huh?" Hearing this, Chen Tianhua was even more surprised. Chen Ke's manuscript was revised by Chen Tianhua, and its content was detailed and the scope involved was so extensive that Chen Tianhua had never seen it before. Even if it is a great Confucian that Chen Tianhua has seen, he is only familiar with part of it. Chen Tianhua has been immersed in the work of compiling this masterpiece. I didn't expect Chen Ke to call these "abbreviated writing", but I don't know how Chen Ke is going to "write seriously".
"To tell you the truth, my own definition is to use this thing as our initial propaganda document in the future, as long as ordinary people can understand it. But looking at it now, as soon as this manuscript comes out, the scope of influence is only greater than I thought. The ideas are different, and we are competing, this is for sure. However, if there are some low-level mistakes in it, it will be laughable. This is the kind of thing I have to avoid. There is no such person. ”
"I know a few young talents, but they're sour. If you're just looking for the text of the history books, I don't know if it's going to work. Hua Xiongmao said.
"Since it's sour, there's no need for it. When we employ people, we must definitely use people like our own comrades. What do you think? Chen Ke said with a smile.
"Like our comrades? Seriously, it's hard to find. Hua Xiongmao also smiled.
"The greatest merit of our comrades is their willingness to work. You just have to find someone who is willing to work. ”
"How about a few children?"
"As long as you're willing to work. By the way, let's also put up posters, and there will not be too few people who can check the information this year. The Manchu Qing Dynasty was about to abolish the imperial examination, and it was difficult for these talents to find a living. ”
"Okay, I'll print some posters with Huishen." Hua Xiongmao thinks this method is feasible.
"Then let's move on to the following topic, about this special drug." Chen Ke said naturally.
Everyone felt that the matter of this special medicine was a big deal, involving two comrades with deep party experience. Once you start discussing, it's certainly not going to be peaceful. That's why the crowd didn't vote in favor. He Zudao This kid felt that You Wei was bullied by his brother, and he himself had the same experience, and felt that You Wei should be allowed to complain, so he supported You Wei. You can understand it from the look of concern on his face. Although everyone didn't blame He Zudao, since He Zudao saw that only he supported You Wei and others did not support him, he felt that he had done something wrong, and he kept his head down to make a record, and he didn't dare to raise his head.
As a result, Chen Ke announced the discussion of this matter so calmly, and everyone was surprised.
"This matter is not a struggle of righteousness, for our comrades in the party, this is another matter." Chen Ke said with a smile, "So let's not think about how big this matter is. Actually, it's not much of a deal. I'd like to give you a little bit of a briefing on the miracle drug. ”
Chen Ke took out a small notebook that he had with him, found one of the pages, and then began to tell it briefly. So far, more than 670 patients have been treated, and the income from various currencies has been converted into silver, and the net income is more than 21,000 taels of silver. After saying this, Chen Ke put the notebook back in his pocket, and then looked at his comrades with a smile.
Everyone knew that this special medicine must have a lot of benefits, but they didn't expect the benefits to be so big. More than 20,000 taels of silver is by no means a small amount of money in today's China. Hua Xiongmao, who joined first, knew that Chen Ke started with fifty taels of silver, and he was a little late, for example, You Wei knew very well that when Chen Ke first started making medicine, the capital was less than eight hundred taels. That's how much I've earned now.
"Now everyone knows why You Yan's brother is so rude, right?" Chen Ke said with a smile.
All nodded. No one can remain calm in the face of such profits.
"My thoughts on this matter are that the money is now unknown. I'm not talking about You Hui's brothers, or Qi Huishen's father. I'm going to say two things. First, how should this money be calculated within the party. Let's get this out of the way. ”
Now no one was silent, and even You Wei, who had just insisted on speaking, did not speak.
Chen Ke looked around, You Yu and Qi Hui looked hesitant, and stopped talking. The same is true for Hua Xiongmao. Zhou Yuanxiao's lips were pursed tightly, as if he was making up his mind. Chen Tianhua and He Zudao looked a little confused. It was Qin Wu'an, who looked calm, just ready to listen to what everyone had to say.
Chen Ke bent his left arm upward, touched his chin with the thumb and forefinger of his left hand, bent his right arm horizontally, and placed his right hand in the crook of his left arm. After waiting for a while, he smiled and said, "The money is in hand, and everyone is embarrassed to talk about the money?" ”
Still no one spoke. Chen Tianhua looked at everyone and only felt an inexplicable sense of disobedience. The revolution was so revolutionary that he could make money and share the money, which was really something he had never seen before.
Chen Ke waited for his comrades to speak with a sense of anticipation and uneasiness, although his face looked relaxed. But to be honest, Chen Ke's inner torment was far more intense than he had ever thought. The money for the sale of medicines, at least this money, comrades have a very good reason to divide it. It's not just because things weren't made clear at the beginning, but more importantly, everyone should be rewarded for their hard work.
However, once this opening is opened, is there a next time? Revolution requires money, and revolution also requires dedication. But Chen Ke could not refuse his comrades, and this time he absolutely could not refuse.
Maybe I'm just overthinking it. In the history of the revolution, the party has never made so much money, and the party's funds are all donated by comrades. Later, after the party's operation was put on track, only party members paid party dues, but there was no matter of party members sharing money. Chen Ke knew this, but he himself did not think that he should reject his comrades. Such contradictory thoughts were flipped in this way, and Chen Ke covered them up with a smile. But a single thought could not be concealed. "Did I make a mistake?"
Chen Ke himself has a "revolutionary consciousness", and his life is not luxurious at all. So far, apart from a few overalls, Chen Ke has not added anything to himself. But the current party, and perhaps the nature of a commercial enterprise, since it is a commercial enterprise, then there is no reason to refuse to share the money.
After feeling like a long time, Qi Huishen finally spoke, "That's it. Let's set a salary. However, this money should be the party's funds. We can't divide it ourselves. We have now divided this into points, and in the future other comrades will be eligible to share the projects in which they participate. This head can't be opened. ”
Although Chen Ke pretended to be calm, he still couldn't help but let out a sigh at this time.
All comrades agreed. Hua Xiongmao smiled: "Wen Qing, you have contributed the most here, and we all know that you are unwilling to ask for money." You won't take a penny, and we can't take any money. ”
"Let's work together for the revolution." Chen Ke said.
The result of the vote was a salary of 10 taels of silver per month for each person. Chen Ke put forward the concept of party fees, and all comrades agreed with it. Finally, it is set at 10%, which is deducted directly at the time of payroll.
Subsequently, the party organization set a rule that all party members were not allowed to operate their own industries privately, except for the arrangements of the party organization. It is necessary to obey the party's arrangement. All additional income must be reported.
The smooth passage of these charters was beyond Chen Ke's expectations. But Chen Ke didn't want to find fault either. Now that the comrades have this consciousness, it is not yet to the extent of political trial.
"Then the second question, about the miracle drug. My suggestion is that at the end of this big lecture, we will reveal the final recipe. However, the synthesis process is not published. What was revealed was the recipe for 606. Let me start by saying that we are producing a 914. As for the detailed differences, I won't go into them. The approximate difference is that 606 is more toxic. The mortality rate is higher. However, the effect is stronger than that of 914. ”
This suggestion really shocked everyone. No one thought that Chen Ke's solution would be like this.
"Why do you want to?" You Yu was puzzled.
"First, we do not have the armed forces to defend our own interests. Second, it relied on the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which was unreliable. Rely on the British, they are also unreliable. Relying on compradors is also unreliable. ”
"Robbery. This is indeed unavoidable. Qi Hui sighed deeply.
"So many compradors have signed contracts with the British, and I haven't seen that." You asked.
"That's what they made the British money for, and we're making the British money now. They won't let us go. Qi Huishen said helplessly.
"Wouldn't it be nice to do it as it is now? Don't you still make money? You Yu was still not convinced.
"You don't know, how many people are beating us. It's just that those people can't figure out the details of us now and don't dare to do it. Some of my friends have advised me, and now there are people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang who are constantly inquiring about us. You think your brother is messing with you, but in fact, they are already very polite. ”
You Yu knew that Hua Xiongmao was not telling nonsense, but she was very unhappy that her hard work had been wasted like this. "Foreign joint-stock companies are doing a good job, why can't they go to China?"
"Then it's a revolution. According to Wenqing, build a new world. At that point, you can be as fair as you want. Hua Xiongmao said with a smile.
Only then did Chen Ke somewhat understand why Hua Xiongmao was so supportive of his own party property issue. It seems that the situation outside has reached a rather unfavorable level.
"That's what human nature is. I can't see you making money, I can't see you getting rich. There's no way around it. Chen Ke persuaded.
"But, but......" You Mu puffed out speechless.
"However, we have to believe in the goodness of human nature. As long as the prescription is made public, then we can save their lives, and at least they will not want our lives. We hold other people's lives in our hands, and they have to fight with us no matter what. And since we have given up the profits, it is better not to magnify the fanfare of the fame. Instead of waiting for those people to take advantage of it, we should teach it honestly ourselves. ”
You Yu thought about it, but was still not convinced.
Chen Ke said with a smile: "If you look at it from another angle, once it is made public, everyone will know that it is a drug invented by us." As long as the price is reasonable, they will definitely come to us to buy it. And the more people who buy, the more money you make, the less money you make, right? ”
"If the foreign devil imitates it, aren't we going to drink the northwest wind?" You Yu is still not satisfied.
"You've participated in the pharmaceutical, let's not disclose the process. How easy did they do? They finish in the middle and take time. During this time, foreign devils will not do anything to us. By the time they're done, we'll have made enough money. And at that time, we will also go to build a base area. They tried to find us, but we couldn't find it. ”
Hearing this, You Wei also had to give up questioning for the time being.
Seeing that everyone had nothing to say, Chen Ke said: "Then pay your salary tomorrow." The meeting is now adjourned. There was an immediate burst of cheers in the venue.
