So, he still has to observe, but also to study. Revolution, the revolution advocated by others, or the revolution advocated by Charlie Beichen. Whether it is the fantasy of a castle in the sky, or the beacon of reference; whether it is empty and abstract, or realistic; Whether it is a magnificent epic or a myth that is difficult to dream of.

In the words of Ah Fa's heart, it is "The various domestic and international situations are so complex, and the country is poor and weak to such a stage, how can anyone be arrogant and make it true?" "To do great things, it is not about how much you say, but more about how you do it. And the country's strength and prosperity need people who do things in a down-to-earth manner.

"Mr. Chen, I didn't expect you to be proficient in German and French, it's amazing." Charlie Song inadvertently glanced at several magazines on the bookcase, expressing a look of surprise.

"It's not proficient, it's just a little understanding." Ah Fa smiled modestly, "It's all journals and magazines related to science, and there are almost no political aspects. ”

It's true that I'm not up to mastery now, but I'm going to have a new level of improvement soon. This is due to the increasing intelligence and flexibility of Ah Fa's mind, which used to be a small bedroom, but now it is a living room. Not only has the memory space been greatly expanded, but the time and speed of memory have also become extremely amazing. It's a bit of an exaggeration, but it's not far off. This allows Ah Fa to go faster and master more.

Of course, relying on Ah Fa's vision, his main gain was that he got a lot of information from these periodicals and magazines that he could use to make use of it.

For example, while Neumann enthusiastically introduced the latest medical proof that circumcision was a healthy precaution, Afa was only interested in the German chemist Haber's ongoing research on synthetic ammonia. There is also a dye called "atosil" (sodium aminobenzoarsate), which can kill trypanosome worms in the human body in the treatment of African sleeping sickness, so that the patient can avoid death, but the eye will be blinded by damage to the optic nerve, etc.

Finding opportunities in inconspicuous places, or taking the lead in digging before others have discovered their value, is always the opportunistic patent of the traverser, and it is not easy to try.

Ammonia synthesis is an epoch-making event, a cheap and inexhaustible source of nitrogen fertilizer that turns atmospheric nitrogen into nitrogen fertilizer, which can reduce the dependence of agricultural production on soil and help solve the world food crisis. Of course, it can also be used to make high explosives, which is the motivation for demons to start wars.

As for "Atosil", although it is encountering the dilemma often encountered in the development of antibacterial and antiviral drugs, that is, while the drug kills germs, it can also disable or even kill patients. But one of its derivatives is the special drug of syphilis - arsenic vanamin (also known as 606). It was the world's first antimicrobial drug, and it also set a precedent for chemical treatment.

With his own professional knowledge and the relevant information found in his head, Ah Fa is confident that he will make progress or gain benefits in these two fields ahead of foreign scientists, which will also open the door to wealth and fame to him. Although it is difficult to switch from chemical to pharmaceutical, it is completely achievable if you can hire a bacteriologist or disease specialist to work with.

"Why is it that most of them are from Germany, Britain and France, and is the United States lagging behind in science and technology?" Charlie Song didn't know much about the situation in the scientific world, but asked curiously.

"Modernization came first in France, then in England, and now in Germany." Ah Fa pondered for a moment and explained: "The German light industry is very advanced, and it is able to manufacture sophisticated microscopes for the observation, analysis and research of substances and cells. Germany's dyestuff industry is now in a monopoly position, proving itself to be a world leader in synthetic chemicals. Therefore, if possible, I will of course choose to cooperate with German scientists or enterprises, or even exchange benefits to obtain the equipment and raw materials needed for chemical plants. ”

"An exchange of interests?" Charlie Song was a little puzzled, but obviously showed a certain amount of interest, and asked, "Can Mr. Chen be more detailed?" ”

The chemical industry is a knowledge- and capital-intensive industry, which is different from the labor-intensive industry that buys simple machinery and recruits workers for short-term training to start production. Especially in the current China, even if Ah Fa has a good idea, it cannot be realized because of various difficulties. For example, in the case of synthetic ammonia, where can he find an experimental environment with high temperature and high pressure, and where can he make production vessels that are resistant to acid and alkali and high temperature and high pressure?

"Cooperation is the first choice, but if you want people to sell you the process or equipment, you must reflect the value, short-term and long-term, so that people feel profitable." Ah Fa told a lot, and the helplessness of this also made Charlie Song feel gloomy, "Empty words are useless, in the eyes of capitalists, interests are the most realistic." And sacrifice is inevitable, and the licensing of patents or production rights is a good bargaining chip. ”

"It's really sad that the country is falling behind to this point." Charlie Song shook his head and sighed, and said: "The invention patent is the condensation of wisdom and hard work, and it cannot be kept exclusively, but it must be shared with others, and Yu also feels sorry for Mr. Chen." ”

"Instead of feeling sorry, it's better to help financially." Ah Fa joked as if he was joking: "Isn't Charlie ready to invest in the matter of the stock offering?" ”

"Of course you can." Charlie first agreed happily, and then suggested: "It's just that the remaining assets are limited, and I am afraid that Mr. Chen will not be satisfied." If Mr. Chen can raise shares in the business conference office, he may be very rewarding. ”

In 1898, the Qing government ordered the provinces to set up a bureau of commerce, and in February 1902, under the instruction of Sheng Xuanhuai, Yan Xinhou organized and established China's first chamber of commerce organization in Shanghai - the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce Office, and was appointed as the first premier, with the purpose of "for the life of Chinese businessmen, gathering to help businessmen, eliminating difficulties, and expecting success".

"It's not easy." Ah Fa touched the top of his head and said with a wry smile: "First, the investment in the chemical plant is very huge, but the benefits are not immediate; Second, those chamber of commerce directors are very conservative, and I am afraid that they do not fit with me. ”

In the final analysis, the chemical industry is relatively unfamiliar to the Chinese people, and the current business Dajia does not realize its importance and the bright development. Of course, the main thing is the lack of sufficient understanding and confidence in Ah Fa, a newcomer. Ah Fa knows this relatively well that it is impossible to hope for the favor of the big financiers until he gets greater fame and makes people have greater hopes.

Charlie Song is also aware of the difficulties, especially the inconsistency, and he particularly sympathizes. Just as he was a great believer in Lincoln, and this kind of thinking is still new in China today, although many of the members of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce are also involved in modern industry and commerce, the mode of thinking is still old and pedantic.
