Section 3: Gathering Talents (2)
"That's all I have because Mr. Lewinsky had an accident," Zhuang Jihua said very sadly, "Professor Tang, if you accept this research, then you will have to leave Shanghai, which is too close to me." ”
"Mr. Zhuang, can you explain?" Professor Tang hesitated, he remembered the research he was doing, and he was not willing to give up.
"When Lewinsky was attending an academic conference in the United States, he revealed a little of his research results to a scholar, and as a result, a company came to him and wanted to buy his research results, but his research was supported by me, and all the funds and equipment were provided by me, so he refused, but soon a gas explosion occurred in his home, and the whole family died." Zhuang Jihua's eyes moistened as he spoke: "Everything has been destroyed, and this thing was written down casually when he chatted with me before the accident." After years of hard work and several lives, there is only so much left left. ”
Professor Tang was shocked, but Tao Zhiyong said hatefully: "It's another bloody case committed by myself." Don't the American police care? ”
"If there is no evidence, how can I care, I am the one who is said by these dogs." Zhuang Jihua also scolded hatefully, but he was secretly proud in his heart, I guess I can get a little gold man when I go to Hollywood for my acting skills.
"Mr. Zhuang, I have to think about it." Professor Tang was a little embarrassed, as one of the best bacteriologists in contemporary China, he certainly knew the prospect of this research, but he was unwilling to let go of his current research and his students.
"I can understand, after all, this involves the safety of your personal life and that of your family." Zhuang Jihua stood up as he said and put away the materials from the table, Professor Tang was stunned for a moment, and wanted to reach out to stop it, but when he reached out on the way, he remembered that this was originally someone else's thing.
"Safe, what safe? Oh, I didn't think about it, but if I went, what would happen to the subjects I'm studying now and the students? Professor Tang asked.
"I can build a laboratory for you, and all the equipment and funds will be provided by me, but your subjects may have to be put aside for the time being, and you can continue your current research after this is completed, as for the students," Zhuang Jihua pondered, and it was difficult to find a reason to move the school now: "You can open a branch there, you can still teach students, and besides, the country also needs a large number of doctors, I will not interfere with your teaching." ”
Zhuang Jihua said as he took out the checkbook from his arms, filled in a string of numbers on it, and then handed it to Professor Tang: "Professor, this is the 200,000 yuan I donated to the school, repair the classroom, and ,..., the war" Zhuang Jihua sighed heavily: "It's not over." ”
"Still fighting?" Professor Tang was puzzled.
"Of course we have to fight, but the three eastern provinces have not recovered yet." Tao Zhiyong said.
"Yes, even if they don't want to fight, we will also fight," Zhuang Jihua said coldly: "The three eastern provinces and concessions, we must take them back, these are our Chinese places, no one can take them." But the only way to recover these places is to exchange them with blood, and if penicillin can be studied, it can save the lives of countless soldiers in the future. ”
"Shanghai is not a safe place, I said that I have succeeded in the three eastern provinces and Shanghai one after another, and the pace of their offensive will not stop, so Shanghai is not a safe place, Professor Tang, the political axe intends to set up a resource committee to coordinate national resources to prepare for the war of resistance." Zhuang Jihua began to sacrifice the name of righteousness: "Resources, not only include natural resources, but also intellectual resources, professor, you should not only hide in the laboratory, but also come out to share the country's worries." ”
"Teacher, the teacher is not that kind of person, he came back for the sake of the country, otherwise he would have stayed in the United States a long time ago." Tao Zhiyong hurriedly argued for the teacher, but he didn't know that Zhuang Jihua was going to lead them to this road.
"Mr. Zhuang, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband; Tang understands this truth, but isn't this research funded by you, Mr. "Professor Tong doesn't seem to be a man who just knows how to do experiments.
"Hehe, Mr. Tang studied in the United States after all," Zhuang Jihua said with a smile: "Yes, this research was funded by Zhuang, and the pharmaceutical factory in the future was also established by Zhuang, but I assure you that the income of the pharmaceutical factory will be used to prepare for the war, and after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, all the income from the factory will be used to support the national medical construction." ”
Professor Tang looked at Zhuang Jihua with some disbelief, but Tao Zhiyong seemed undoubted: "Zhiyong is my old subordinate, let him testify today." ”
"Then it's better to leave it to the state now." Professor Tang still couldn't understand that this person seemed to be sick.
"No, there are too many corrupt officials, and they must be controlled in my hands, otherwise it would be good to have 10% of the proceeds used in the Anti-Japanese War." Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said.
This reason is in line with the current Chinese people's view of the national political axe, Professor Tang and Tao Zhiyong nodded very understandingly, and Zhuang Jihua decided to stop in moderation.
"Professor, I won't be in Shanghai for long, I guess I can stay for three days, I will go to Nanjing for a meeting in three days, and then I may have to travel all over the country, professor, you have to make a decision within three days."
When Zhuang Jihua left the medical school, he was very confident that this Professor Tang would not be able to escape, he was already in the palm of his hand, and he was afraid that he would come to him tomorrow.
Sure enough, the next day, Professor Tang and Tao Zhiyong found Zhuang Jihua and expressed their willingness to accept the job, and Zhuang Jihua then told them that the laboratory would be located in Yucheng, Sichuan, and the future pharmaceutical factory would also be located in Yucheng, and they would be ready to enter Sichuan now. Then Zhuang Jihua asked Professor Tang to expel the equipment list from the laboratory, and then handed him 500,000 oceans.
Putting down Professor Tang and Tao Zhiyong, Zhuang Jihua began to visit major universities and research institutions in Shanghai, and went deep into the intellectual circles, Zhuang Jihua found that there was no shortage of scientists in China, and there were a large number of experts in Shanghai, and the Shanghai Institute of Physics, the Institute of Geology, and the Institute of Engineering had hoarded a large number of experts, and most of the intellectuals of this era had a strong sense of distress and patriotism. But then he found that the biggest difficulty he faced was the strong sense of responsibility of these people. Being responsible for the students, the school, and the cause has penetrated into the marrow of each of them, and every scholar he has come into contact with is like this, which makes him very emotional.
“… Those who do not seek eternity cannot seek a time; The country is facing a crisis, can not develop step by step, we must use unconventional means, with the intellectual development of the whole country, to achieve unconventional development, to win time, so you ,...., now the country needs, the nation needs you to temporarily put down your work, the development of Sichuan, in addition to funds, there is also technical support, these two are indispensable. …”
"Mr. Zhuang, what exactly do you want to do in Sichuan? Can you give us a thorough understanding? Steel expert Zhou Zhihong asked.
"Steelworks, Mr. Zhou, this is the scope of your research; In addition, there is Mr. Zhu's chemical plant, Mr. Fang's radio factory, Professor Mao Sichuan is going to build railways and highways, you can let it go, so to speak, everything that the country needs to build, everyone, in the next few years, Sichuan will become the largest construction site in China, where you can successfully transform your research into productivity. Zhuang Jihua made an impassioned speech in the face of these experts.
Zhuang Jihua's words were like a stone breaking through a thousand waves, and the experts who came to the meeting immediately discussed it.
"Mr. Zhuang, such a big plan, how much money does the national political axe have?" Zhou Zhihong did not believe that in recent years, the national political axe has invested less and less in scientific research, scientific research funds are very insufficient, and there is no money for large-scale construction.
"I am responsible for providing the funds, you don't have to worry at all," Zhuang Jihua smiled: "These money is not completely provided by the political axe, mainly from the donations of overseas Chinese, and now the funds in the account are 100 million US dollars, I donated part of the relief to the victims of last year's flood, and the other 10 million is used as the start-up capital of the Resources Committee, and the rest of the money is in the account, I can assure you that the funds are absolutely sufficient, if you find that there is no money for you to build factories and engage in research projects, you can chop me up and feed it to the dog." ”
Zhuang Jihua did not dare to guarantee that all the 100 million oceans would be used on the victims, so he did not disclose the detailed figures. But his words shocked the experts present.
"Mr. Zhuang, if I want to go, I have to bring some of my students, is that okay?" Bridge expert Mao Yisheng stood up and said.
"That's great, to be honest, it's not enough for you alone, so many factories, so many projects, you need a lot of experts and technicians, so the resource committee will build a school in Yucheng, everyone, you will be very tired in the future, very tired, the factory wants you, the school wants you, but there is no way, who makes our country poor, backward, you are all the elite of our nation, when the nation is in crisis, you need to make greater contributions, I implore you for the country."
Zhuang Jihua stood up as he spoke, and arched his fists to the experts around him, and Zhou Zhihong and others hurriedly stood up.
"Mr. Zhuang, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband; Since it is needed by the country, Zhou agreed, when to leave, please ask Mr. Zhuang for instructions. Zhou Zhihong stood up and said.
With Zhou Zhihong taking the lead, others also expressed their willingness to go to Sichuan, not only by themselves, but also by bringing their own students, Zhuang Jihua was relieved.
"I'll let you know when you're leaving, it's not easy to enter Sichuan this time, there are a lot of people." Zhuang Jihua said with a smile, now he is finally relieved, the first batch of talents is finally available, but it is not enough to only have them.
"We are very short of time, please start working on the factory design when you go back, you need the equipment, I say, I am only responsible for providing the funds, as for what to do, it is up to you to decide."
Zhuang Jihua's words surprised everyone again, they didn't expect that Zhuang Jihua would dare to let go like this. But Zhuang Jihua is not finished.
"I suggest that you discuss dividing it into several groups, such as the steel group, the geological group, and the chemical group, and each group will elect a responsible person."
"I know it's a bit abrupt, but we can't help it, we have to rush for time, we don't have much time."
The next day, Zhuang Jihua returned to Nanjing to attend the inaugural meeting of the Resources Committee convened by Chiang Kai-shek, and became one of the three deputy directors of the Resources Committee.
News of the establishment of the Resource Committee spread throughout the country with the newspapers.
Qingdao.
In an ordinary small building, Li Zhilong sat at the table in a daze, and the newspaper spread out on the table read: "The Resources Committee was established, and the chairman of the committee was appointed as the director."
"Aaron, do you want to go to the Cultural Revolution?" Pan Huiqin, who is now a mother of two children, asked while taking care of the child in bed, she knew Li Zhilong's pain over the years.
Li Zhilong didn't answer, he nodded slowly for a long time, in the past few years, he has been hiding in the province and completely detached from politics, but the ambition in his heart has not been extinguished, but the less and more prosperous.
"Then go ahead, stay with him, and it will be fine."
