Chapter Ninety-One: Going to Japan

There is a proverb: if you want to eat eggs, you don't need to have a chicken. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 There is a similar saying in economics: shipbuilding is not as good as buying a ship, and buying a ship is not as good as chartering a ship.

However, what if your body is in dire need of eggs and the owner of the chicken is hoarding eggs and refuses to sell them? Or what if you want to make a cake and have nothing but eggs, and the price of eggs is unaffordable? Such extreme examples are rare in life, but in the field of the national economy they are very likely.

Chen Wenqiang is developing the chemical industry he is familiar with, but he feels the constraints of the country's weakness and backwardness, as well as the hardships of developing the industry. Because from beginning to end, the links of the industry are almost domestic blank, in addition to self-reliance, that is, to import, it will inevitably be controlled by others in the future.

To take the simplest example, the equipment for the production of hydrochloric acid will soon arrive, assemble, debug, retrain workers, and feed production, which will take a lot of time, but it is not a great difficulty. What kind of packaging can be used to produce hydrochloric acid, and it is really regrettable that the huge China cannot even produce acid-resistant jars.

It's like a factory that produces beverages, not only to produce beverages, but also bottles, caps, seals, etc., all of which have to be produced by themselves. That adds up to at least three or four factories or workshops, and even more. For example, to make bottles, you need to make glass first, right?

If he wants to get rid of the constraints of foreign businessmen and enterprises, Chen Wenqiang can only gradually try to take over as much as possible, and with the current measures, he has to export some products that are not high-tech, such as acid-resistant jars. And this is only temporary, once the qualified hydrochloric acid is produced and competes with Japanese manufacturers, even the jars and jars may be stuck in your neck.

The sea was very windy, the waves were undulating, and the waves rushed in, lapping the side of the ship, turning into flying flowers and jade, spitting out countless fleeting and strange scenes.

No matter how hard it is, we still have to break the waves and move forward. It has been less than a year since he was reborn in this plane, and the achievements he has achieved are already incredible in the eyes of ordinary people. Although it is still in the initial stage of entrepreneurship, the actual conditions are there, and it is useless to rush it.

Passion is not about exploding, but about lasting! If you want to stand at the head of the tide, or fight your way out of the tide of history, a solid foundation is the key.

On the other side of the deck, several young people who looked like students were discussing the past and the present, and their voices were getting louder and louder, as if they were debating something. This is already out of the control of the imperial court, and radical topics are inevitable. Words such as "revolution" and "overthrow autocracy" kept drifting into Chen Wenqiang's ears.

This is the topic of the times, when the national crisis is deep, the Chinese people who have opened their eyes are struggling to find a way to strengthen the country independently, or a prescription. Japan, on the other hand, is the closest to China, and it seems to be the closest place to learn from it.

That's right, this is the mainstream thinking of the Chinese people after the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War, and it is also one of the reasons for going to Japan to stay in the world. Studying in Japan seems to be a matter of "twice the result with half the effort", in addition to the proximity of the road and the proximity of the language, those Western studies that are a bit difficult and even dangerous like pufferfish, the Japanese have already helped us try and pull out the poison.

Therefore, together with a large number of half-hung overseas talents, there are also a large number of half-hung Western theories that have been "co-spatified" by Japan. Although Japan was only a convenient stepping stone to learn from the West in the original institutional design of the Manchu court, in reality, few people were willing or able to step on this stepping stone to directly contact the roots of Western culture.

Talent is quick, and so is theory, and the Western theory that both fish and shrimp are processed into sashimi by Japanese chefs, stripped of what they think is unhealthy, and then picked up by more extensive chopsticks and sent into the hungry Chinese stomach.

"Mr. Chen, you also have the intention of asking for help when you go to Japan this time, but why did you tell your father that it is better to go to Europe and the United States to study in Japan?" Zhao Haizhen's second son, Zhao Weijun, was one of the members who accompanied Chen Wenqiang, and now he finally raised his doubts.

"If you want to get real talent, you have to calm down, and I'm afraid I don't have that kind of condition in Japan." Chen Wenqiang groaned and said: "You know that I have a few foreign friends, and from what they have heard, Japan seems to be becoming a breeding ground for training violent revolutionaries in China. In such an environment, how easy is it to calm down and study? Well, I'm not going to comment on politics for the time being, just your father, does he want you to be a scholar or a scientist, or a revolutionary? Besides, Japan's Westernization is nothing more than a half-ass, and it is not significant. ”

"I'm afraid you didn't give all the reasons, sir?" Zhao Weijun smiled slyly and said, "Looking at your usual words, you don't seem to have a good impression of Japan?" Although I wanted to go to Japan for help, I was forced to be helpless. ”

Chen Wenqiang looked at Zhao Weijun seriously, couldn't help but smile, and said: "Don't you think Japan is sucking China's blood and becoming strong?" The forcible occupation of Penghu, Taiwan, and the Lushun Massacre, could these barbaric and cruel acts be carried out by a civilized country? Hehe, Japan, just dressed in the cloak of civilization, has not entered the ranks of civilized countries at all. Geographically speaking, Japan is China's most dangerous enemy. ”

"Isn't it advisable to study military affairs in Japan?" Jin Sanye's son Jin He also followed Chen Wenqiang out to see the world, he really wanted to become a majestic general, that is, he was very interested in the army.

"Japan's military science comes from Germany, and if you want to learn it, you have to learn the authentic one." Chen Wenqiang pondered for a moment and said, "The two of you came out this time to see the world and understand the outside world. Next year, I will arrange for you to study in Germany. If you are willing to learn science and technology, you can learn science and technology, and if you are willing to study military affairs, it depends on your personal interests and hobbies. ”

"By next year, Mr. Chen will have a foundation in Germany, right?" Zhao Weijun knows more about the business situation, but there are still some questions, and some are not sure.

"It's a bit of a stretch to say the roots, but it's certain that you'll have some friends in Germany." Chen Wenqiang smiled and said: "From the perspective of people from various countries, Germans are meticulous and rigorous, and their hearts are still relatively realistic. Well, relatively speaking! ”

"It's also one of the great powers that bully China, and Xinyan really does this?" Zhao Weijun felt a little incomprehensible about Chen Wenqiang's statement.

"The national interest is a cold thing, and it has nothing to do with the character and conduct of the individual." Chen Wenqiang shook his head and said, "You will understand in the future, well, you may not understand." Just as the sea is deep and unfathomable, so is the relationship between countries. ”

Zhao Weijun and Jin He glanced at each other, and when they wanted to ask again, Chen Wenqiang had already gotten up and walked to the railing, raising his eyes into the distance.

The tide rises and falls, the clouds rise and fall, and the boundless sea rolls and rolls up a thousand waves. And in the long river of history, who has long been young, and who has died short-lived?
