Baotou is now lacking in everything, even in the United States, ordinary engineers, school lecturers, and ordinary professors are indescribable resources for China, which will play a pivotal role in the future development of Baotou. Yang Yuanzhao does not intend to rely entirely on foreign countries to build an industrial system, which is an impossible thing, the stall is too big, once something happens, the final takeover is just a bamboo basket for water.

For the sake of safety, even if the investment in the valley can only rely on the name of the German and American company, temporarily in several industries, investment and selection selection, and now there is an all-in-one task, then the focus of this choice will come out.

The previous skilled workers, because of the versatility, did not require too much professionalism, but to a higher level of talents, professionalism must be considered, 150 US dollars a month engineer salary, in the United States in this era, is definitely called high-tech, the US dollar of this era, is the real US dollar, 20 US dollars, can be directly exchanged for huàn gold, so, the value is also much higher than that of later generations.

In Yang Yuanzhao's plan, cotton, cement, brick factory, can only be called the foundation of the foundation, cotton is a stepping stone, cement factory and brick factory, is an industrial base, even the foundation of the industrial zone, they provide basic building materials, for the industrial zone to lay the foundation, next, he needs to lay a foundation for heavy industry, occupy the industrial system, play a pivotal role, is the heavy chemical industry, represented by three acids and two alkalis, from a certain degree dù above, on behalf of the basic raw materials of the chemical industry, Many industries related to chemicals. It is all born from this, plus the important weight of the all-in-one machine. Eventually, it becomes the focus of recruitment.

The chemical industry in the United States is not as advanced as in Germany. In the field of basic chemical industry, whether it is precision or category, it is relatively perfect, and the scale of heavy chemical industry is far above Germany, which is also determined by the huge area and massive population of the United States, and the population and area determine the scale of industry, which is not false at all, there is not enough land area. It is simply not possible to develop into a superpower, as can be seen from the history of later generations.

Britain, known as the empire on which the sun never sets, occupied almost one-third of the world's land, tens of millions of square kilometers of land, and hundreds of millions of people in its heyday. The foundations of Britain's strength were laid, and it also became the undisputed superpower of this era.

The next US-Soviet struggle for hegemony, population land. It's all a prerequisite, Germany during World War II, because of its small size. The population is small, even though it has strong technology and industry. Still unable to break through its own limitations and go further. As for Japan, which is a little weaker, Italy, Spain, the same is true.

The size of the United States is equivalent to that of China in later generations, while Germany is only the size of a province in China, and the population is even smaller, and when the base is large to a certain extent, there is a basis for qualitative change in quantity, and the United States in this era has reached the world's largest industrial power by relying on the total amount, and gradually began to catch up with and surpass the advanced level of Europe in all aspects, so the talents in all aspects are very sufficient.

The focus is that it has been discussed with Yang Yuanzhao for a long time, focusing on chemical talents, Chicago is famous for steel and heavy industry, he is only a heavy industry base, not a full-category base, and even a chemical base in the United States is not in Chicago. However, relying on steel and heavy industry, coal-based coal chemical industry, sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid-based chemical industry are also quite developed, all based on the development of the steel industry, and have a huge influence in the United States.

It is not easy to attract talents for such an important industry, but now in the United States, the steel industry has been booming for decades, and it is getting twilight.

You know, since the beginning of the 20th century, the American railroad began to weaken, the emergence of roads and automobiles, began to gradually eat away at the foundation of the railway, the Suez Canal, cheaper water transportation, but also let the transportation of bulk goods, choose more water transportation than the railway, the development of the United States steel itself has slowed down, and there are many ills.

Later, even a large number of railways were demolished and sold as scrap steel, during World War II, Japan's huge incredible combined fleet, and the United States competed in the Pacific Ocean for several years, all relying on scrap steel, a little bit of production and production, it can be seen that the United States is strong, just scrap steel, it has created a powerful fleet in the world, when the United States industry really transformed, began to burst out of production capacity, the whole world was sideways, World War II, The United States was an important rear and producer of arms resources for almost the entire anti-fascist coalition.

In the United States in this era, the decadence of steel has taken shape, Chicago is becoming depressed, and even the main business of steel has become unable to make a profit, and the profit margin has been greatly reduced, not to mention the coal chemical industry and sulfate chemical industry that rely on steel to survive, after knowing the focus of the German and American company, more and more people who are very confident in their own strength began to come to the German and American foreign firm, and the staff of the German and American companies have also received more than ten or twenty a day from the very beginning, to receive hundreds of them every day, one by one. One project after another, and in the end, there were even two senior professors.

Williams and Smith, one of them is a professor in the Department of Steel at the University of Chicago, the other is a professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Union University of Chicago, one focuses on steel consortiums, and the other focuses on hydrochloric acid chemical engineering.

It stands to reason that such people are unlikely to be attracted by Germany and the United States, and enter China, a barren land of science and technology, you know, since hundreds of years ago, the center of gravity of the world's science and technology is no longer China, when in 1840, the British knocked on China's past, after the Opium War undertook endless humiliation, in the world, can look at China, almost no zài, in the eyes of most Westerners, China is synonymous with poverty and backwardness, even if China has paid a huge price for the connection of the East-West railway in the United States, However, the Chinese Exclusion Act was still passed, and the U.S. government began to justifiably suppress the Chinese ethnic group.

After going deeper, Harpy found that the depression of the American economy had begun to expand gradually, and even affected the University of Chicago and the Union University of Chicago to a certain extent, and their projects, either because of low feasibility or because of high cost, were cut when they were submitted to the board of directors of the school, so they were frantically looking for funds and partners, so the two senior professors even selectively ignored the objective fact of China, and threw a lot of money on the German-American foreign firmAt this moment, they entered their field of vision, came to the door to seek cooperation, and came up with their own conditions.

These two, in the American university circle, can also be called top scientists, and the staff below did not dare to deal with it at all, and directly reported to Harpy.

After carefully studying the basic situation of Williams and Smith, Harpy also had a headache, these are one of the elites of the American scientific community, not as good as the top elites, but also the leaders in their respective fields, even if they go to German universities, they will be well received, and even have the qualifications to become professors, to say, it is the luck of Germany and the United States to be able to recruit them, in order to get them, the German and American foreign companies will pay a certain price, but such heavyweights, to get them, how can it be light, The demands made by the two people are more difficult than the other.

Smith is a little better, his status, only in the Union University of Chicago, and even in the Union University, he is only a top expert in sulfuric acid, and in the whole chemical industry, he is not the chief, the chief is the head of the chemical engineering department of the Union University of Chicago, and he has just occupied the position of the head of a research institute.

Therefore, the conditions proposed by Smith are relatively low, but he only proposes chemical research, sulfuric acid industry, some derivatives, and the exploration of new chemical industry, especially mentioning the most high-profile project of vulcanized rubber, which is also the need for the gradual development of the automobile industry, which is also the focus of his research room.

In return, he will build a branch in Shanghai, China, to provide 100 chemical engineering graduates every year, as well as 30 researchers, and even he himself can spend 3 months in China to sit in China, to promote the research of China's real yàn room, in return, Smith will take out some of the previous research results, in exchange, and even the results formed in the real yàn room in China, He will own half of the property rights in both the real room and the German and American side.

This concession is not insignificant, but the price of $2 million is really a lion's mouth, converted into Deutsche Marks, almost reaching 10 million, which has exceeded the assets that Harpy currently has.

Harpy hesitated for a moment, and carefully studied what Smith gave, the strength of Union University of Chicago, like the University of Chicago, is one of the more important engineering institutions in the United States, one is mainly in the field of steel, the other is mainly in the field of heavy chemicals, vulcanized rubber, and it is the frontier of the field of heavy chemicals.

It's hard to decide, a little headache, this is the only thought in Harpy's heart, 2 million is a lot, but if this 2 million is exchanged for a professor who has a huge influence on the industry, or even academic value, it seems that it is not so unacceptable. (To be continued......)
