The construction of chemical factories, as Charlie Song said, will not be favored by other capitalists or businessmen in the short term. Because 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, textile oil mills, cigarette factories and so on.

But Ah Fa has his own ideas, one is that he is more familiar with the major, and the other is that he has exclusive properties 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 also mainly science and God, 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. Duokaike and Shen also adapted to 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, although under the fierce bombardment of Western ships and cannons, had already understood the importance of Western science. However, out of the concept of traditional scholars, they are still somewhat resistant to these "strange tricks and tricks", and are not very willing to put them on the campus equivalent to "national prisons".

If you open the history books, you can see that the "elites of the Republic of China era" are basically people engaged in social sciences, and their research is education, foreign language, history, philosophy and 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 subjects and the cultivation of practical talents should have been very urgent issues at that time. But in China, there is not a single institute of science and technology, including schools built by Westerners.

Therefore, although it was still too difficult for Ah Fa to build a higher government, it did 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 big sensational effect, and can make the relevant industry develop decades or even years ahead.

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 had proposed the concept of Oita, it would have been revolutionary, pointing out the path of light for organicization, and it would be a gospel for researchers who have explored 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 does not prevent him from working in this direction, and he has already begun to spread the stall. There are no high-level researchers, but Wang Zhuoran has also recruited a few teenagers who have studied in the Cantonese 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!

Most of the ill-gotten gains were invested in the construction of industries by Ah Fa, and a small part was donated to Jiluosheng and Jiliangsho (a refuge for prostitutes and × women who could not bear the abuse of bustards). 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 a ransom, withdrew from the tobacco × and soil trade, and invested in Qianzhuang instead; The head of the Guo family was still unable to escape being killed under heavy protection, and when the letter was delivered again, and the target of the assassination continued to point to the heir of the Guo family, they also admitted to paying 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, one of the top ten local merchants of the Chaozhou Gang has given in, and one has run into the French Concession or a distant place to temporarily avoid the limelight, and only four are still stubbornly insisting. In this regard, Ah Fa is not impatient, under the premise of safety first, he still has a lot of time to fight with them. And the tougher the posture and 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 recovering to their state, but also the enhancement and convenience brought by integrating Jin Ye's gang.

Speaking of integration, it means that the gang members are not all bad actors. This is actually very normal, like some artists who eat Jianghu rice, Jianghu doctors, etc., worship the old man in order to have a backer when running the dock, like inviting a door god, "Jiang Gong is here, there is no taboo"; Some wealthy businessmen are afraid of kidnapping tickets, afraid of being bullied, and sometimes want to get cheap, so they give heavy gifts, find doors, enter the door, and seek protection; There were also some wealthy and powerful industrialists who joined the gang in order to borrow the old man's card to protect and develop their own businesses.

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 vital interests, there is a more essential difference between those gangsters and villains who use the power of the gang to harm their surnames and commit evil.
