After sending Luo Lun away, Qiao Yu reported the situation to everyone in the Chamber of Commerce, and everyone began to prepare, the momentum should be built, but it must also be controlled, to ensure the basic social order, commerce and trade can not be affected, and the Revolutionary Party of the Brotherhood cannot be given a chance, the main force of the business community in Chongqing should still be placed on industrial production, keep the trade routes unblocked, and not be disrupted by the Baolu Movement to disrupt industrial development.

Just when Qiao Yu was hurrying to arrange, Tang Yisheng and Zhao Baoxuan suddenly had something to find him, Qiao Yu has been focusing on coordinating various relationships and training the army for a while, many company operations, and factory planning have been handed over to the two of them, and the ability of these two is not weak, and everything is well organized, if there is nothing to do, they will never look for themselves, and hurriedly invited the two of them in.

"Boss, first of all, I want to congratulate you on your promotion!" Tang Yisheng smiled and arched his hand at Qiao Yu, but he couldn't see that this guy had any respectful meaning, Zhao Baoxuan still looked sullen.

"At first glance, you are not sincere, if there is something to tell me, I will try my best to solve it, is there a lack of money, or a lack of people?"

"Nothing!" Zhao Baoxuan spoke on the side, "Now there are more than a dozen factories, but most of the machines have to be repaired by foreign technicians, and our own technicians are still too bad!" ”

"Our workers don't have to learn anymore, or do foreigners hide their secrets?"

Zhao Baoxuan shook his head and said: "No, our workers are seizing all the time to learn technology, and even many people take the initiative to work overtime, in order to master the technology and forget to eat, even I am very moved, and the progress is also very fast, although there are also foreigners to hide private, but we have developed a detailed reward method, foreigners are open-minded, most of them can try their best to teach, the problem is in the quality of the workers, most of them don't even know the word, how can they be required to quickly master the technology." ”

"In the final analysis, it's still a question of education!" Qiao Yu also sighed when he heard this, he can point out a thing or two for other things, but there is no way to steal this technician training work, how can a skilled technician in the future life be trained for more than five years, or even more, such as engineers are more, the current technology is not as complicated as the later generations, but now the quality of the Chinese cannot be compared with the later generations, most people are illiterate, there is a serious shortage of science and engineering talents, and it is useless for you to be anxious.

A person from primary school to university to go more than ten years, in order to become an excellent technical talent to continue to train more than ten years, mature technicians, scientific research personnel are thirty or forty years old, now China can not even do basic education, how to expect qualified high-end talents, and without this kind of talent, industrialization is an empty word, as soon as I think of this, Qiao Yu's head hurts, I really don't know how those predecessors who crossed can quickly turn a backward agricultural country into an industrial country.

"The country has been weak for a long time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has shackled China for three hundred years, we can only catch up a little bit, you two will work harder, try to introduce some talents studying abroad, our generation is destined to be blue, I hope to see the results of China's industrial development in my lifetime! I discussed with the Germans some time ago and asked them to help us build a technical school, and Consul General Weiss has informed me that German teachers will soon be able to go to Chongqing, and we have already chosen a location here. ”

Tang Yisheng and Zhao Baoxuan also nodded in agreement, they also knew that this kind of thing was in a hurry, so they could only come little by little, Tang Yisheng was silent for a while, and suddenly said:

"Boss, I have good news for you, a friend of mine, Wu Hengchang, is studying geology, and he was in Qi not long ago. Coal mines have been discovered in Jiangxian County, and iron ore has also been discovered, and the reserves are not too large, but Qi? Jiang is very close to Yucheng, the traffic conditions are also good, boss, are you interested in entering heavy industry, no matter how developed the light industry is, it is also a duckweed, none of the big conglomerates in the United States are relying on light industry to make a fortune, they have to operate heavy industry! ”

When Qiao Yu heard Tang Yisheng mention Qi? Jiang Mining Area, his heart is also moved, how can he not know, and earlier also thought about investing in steel, you must know that in the industrial age, steel is the backbone of a country, absolutely must be developed, otherwise it can only be controlled by others.

However, Qiao Yu immediately gave up this idea, heavy industry is different, the financial resources and manpower that need to be invested are not comparable to light industry, and the machines have to be imported from foreign countries, the great powers are not willing to see China become stronger no matter what, and they are very sensitive to heavy industry, and Qiao Yu is not qualified to negotiate terms with the great powers now, even if he invests in steel plants, it is difficult to ensure that he will not be eaten dry by the great powers, of course, if Qiao Yu can become the master of one party, he will be able to obtain this qualification, Didn't Zhang Zhidong also establish the Hanyang Iron Works back then, but now is not a good time.

"Heavy industry is unusual, there are too many things to consider, I think it's better to take a break for the time being!"

"Qiao Shunqing! Have you forgotten what you told us half a year ago? Aren't you going to change the backwardness of industry by taking action? Why did you put all your efforts on fighting for power and profit after only half a year? Zhao Baoxuan thought that Qiao Yu would strongly support it, you must know that the steel industry is not only profitable, but also able to comprehensively promote an industrial strength, so when he heard Qiao Yu say that it was suspended, he was a little anxious!

"Mr. Zhao, you misunderstood, I hope that industry can develop the most, but you have to know that entering heavy industry is not only about money, but also about having enough power to keep the results, otherwise we are busy working for foreigners, not to mention other countries, if the British know that there is an iron mine in the Yangtze River Basin, they only need to drive a few warships, do we have any way to deal with it, and if they block us strongly in finance and machinery, how should we deal with it?"

As soon as Zhao Baoxuan heard these sharp questions, he immediately lost his momentum, he also knew that heavy industry was related to a country's military strength, Hanyang Iron Works was fateful, and the international situation when running the Hanyang Plant was much more relaxed than now, and it was indeed very dangerous to run a steel plant under such conditions now, but Zhao Baoxuan was really unwilling to give up this plan, and pressed his head painfully with both hands, with a look of chagrin.

Qiao Yu sighed slightly: "Brother Baoxuan, although I said that it would be postponed, but the time will not be too long, now that the tide of Baolu has blown, there are no days to live in the Qing Dynasty, as long as the day I take power, the steel plant will definitely be established, you can rest assured!" ”

Zhao Baoxuan is also a smart person, so he naturally knows that Qiao Yu is so tormented in Yucheng, and he definitely does not want to be a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, but this is the first time Qiao Yu confided in him, although it is a big rebellion, but Zhao Baoxuan felt a strong sense of trust, and nodded heavily.

Tang Yisheng is the same, "Boss, running a steel plant is not achieved overnight, I think you can do some preparations in advance, such as a good inspection of the mining area, contact the machine, find a suitable technician, and raise funds." ”

"Yes, but you have to remember that you have to keep it a secret!" The two nodded yes and went to prepare.

On May 27, the "Yucheng Business Daily" published the news of the establishment of the Yucheng Technical School, the people only feel very fresh, when those who work hard can also have a school to study, isn't this a mess, in the eyes of ordinary people, the school should be like Taixue, is to train the future of the official master, hard work also has a school, isn't it insulting?

In fact, not only the common people think so, even the academic circles have many criticisms, and even from time to time there is sarcasm, although the Chinese have an impression of the strength of the great powers, but thousands of years of tradition is still difficult to reverse, now most of China's universities are liberal arts occupy the absolute main force, at most plus some medicine, astronomy, economics, law and the like, science and engineering is almost a blank.

However, after all, the technical school is not a formal university, there are not many people who say strange things, and the real more excited is the big guys in the industrial community of Yucheng, after setting up the factory, they feel the preciousness of the technician, only with excellent technicians can they manufacture high-quality products, and they can also occupy an advantage in the competition, and the technical school is the cradle of future talents.

Therefore, Wang Dongcheng, Wang Gui and other directors of Sichuan Investment Company came together, and as soon as they arrived, the rest of the businessmen also came to join in the fun, and surprisingly, the German Consul General Wei Si also came to congratulate him in person!
