Chapter 8 Experiences in Europe (4)
Qin Yu and Zhang Xinyue soon came to the door of the principal's office, Zhang Xinyue knocked on the door, and there was a voice from inside, "Please come in." βγ
Then Zhang Xinyue took Qin Yu in, Zhang Xinyue bowed to the principal and said, "Hello principal, my fellow countryman has something to look for you." β
"Hello principal, my name is Qin Yu from China, can I audit your school?" Saying that, Qin Yu also bowed politely to the principal.
The principal looked at Qin Yu, who was still a little childish, and said with some disbelief: "Generally speaking, no, because it is unfair to students who have paid money, but if you pay money and pass our exam, we can let you audit, and if the exam is very good, we can even let you become our student." β
"I'll pay the money, when will the exam be held, I want to study financial management."
"Is it okay to take the exam tomorrow morning?"
Qin Yu nodded and said, "Yes, by the way, I think from the sophomore year, you can make difficult points in the test papers." β
The principal looked at Zhang Xinyue and asked, "Are you a sophomore, or are you from the Department of Financial Management?" β
Zhang Xinyue snorted, and the principal looked at Qin Yu meaningfully: "You can come back tomorrow." β
After leaving the principal's office, Qin Yu and Zhang Xinyue walked side by side, "Zhang Xinyue, don't get me wrong, I chose to start my sophomore year because I wanted to end my trip to the UK quickly and continue to travel to Europe, and I will return to China in about two years." β
Qin Yu was afraid that the principal's words just now would cause Zhang Xinyue to misunderstand, although he had a good impression of Zhang Xinyue, but it had not yet risen to love, and besides, there was Erin, he didn't want a fire in the backyard.
"What, two years, that means you won't stay in Britain for long, will you?" Zhang Xinyue asked nervously.
"Yes, I'll be out of England for a year at most."
"Oh, a year." Zhang Xinyue said absentmindedly.
After saying goodbye to Zhang Xinyue, Qin Yu returned to his residence, he kept thinking about how to develop plans in the UK, the first step was to buy a shipyard and not let the British find out that the most developed thing in Britain is shipbuilding, and this is what he lacks the most.
Although Germany also has its own shipyard, but it is not enough, think about Japan's current navy and shipbuilding capacity, it still only has a few oil tankers, and Germany's is mainly used to build submarines and train technical personnel. In Britain, it is the one who really builds battleships, no, we have to speed up, let the family build a shipyard in China first, and attract domestic shipbuilders with high salaries.
In the evening, eleven people from Qin's firm, who were studying in Cambridge, came to Qin Yu's residence, and Qin Yu received them.
In the hall, Qin Yu looked at them and asked, "Have you ever been co-opted by the revolutionary party?" β
"Yes, there are people at tonight's party who are trying to get us into the revolutionary party."
"Did you say yes?"
"No, no matter how good the revolutionary party is, it can't compare to our firm, the most hateful thing is that they told us to cheat the money of the firm, saying that the Qin firm's firm oppresses the people and is a moth in China."
"Next time they let you join, you can join, I will explain to my mother, remember that you have to work hard to become their core after you go in, and I will be useful in the future, it is equivalent to you being my undercover agent, but you have to go through my permission to endanger the business, remember?"
Eleven people said at the same time: "Remember, how can we contact the young master then?" β
"Don't worry, someone will contact you then, by the way, you don't want to join them all, leave one or two to contact the firm."
"Okay, Young Master Yu." After saying the details, Qin Yu let them leave.
The next day, Qin Yu rushed to Cambridge for the exam after breakfast, and when he got there, he just saw Zhang Xinyue waiting for him, Qin Yu chatted with Zhang Xinyue for a few words and was called by the principal to take the exam, and Qin Yu finished the exam after more than an hour, just waiting for tomorrow's notice.
After Qin Yu came out, he saw that Zhang Xinyue was still waiting for him, Qin Yu walked to her side: "Are you waiting for me?" β
"Hmm," Zhang Xinyue said in a very small voice.
"Wait for me to do something?"
"I didn't ...... It's okay, can you go shopping with me? β
"Well, it's okay anyway, I haven't had a good time in England." Qin Yu thought that he had nothing to do and agreed.
Qin Yu and Zhang Xinyue walked on the street, neither of them spoke, just walked slowly, Qin Yu broke the silence first: "Zhang Xinyue, how did you come to the UK to study?" β
"It was my father who called me here, saying that the knowledge of the West was advanced and I came to study, and it happened that my father knew a British businessman, and the businessman recommended me to come to Cambridge, and then I asked some gentlemen who had been to study in the UK, and they also said that Cambridge in England was good, and then I came to the UK, and finally passed the exam, by the way, you can call me Xinyue or Xiaoyue."
"So that's the case, okay, I'll call you Xiaoyue in the future." Saying that, the two also chatted, and after shopping for more than an hour, Qin Yu found an excuse to go back.
The next morning, Zhang Xinyue excitedly took the admission letter to find Qin Yu, who happened to be eating breakfast after Qin Yu finished exercising.
As soon as Zhang Xinyue came in, she said happily: "Xiaoyu, you have been admitted, not an auditor, but a student." β
"As expected, there's nothing to be happy about."
Zhang Xinyue: "A genius is a genius, and it can't be looked at with a general eye. β
Qin Yu: "Have you eaten breakfast, let's eat together." β
"Don't say I'm really hungry."
Qin Yu began to go to Cambridge to attend classes on this day, and began to study frantically, and Qin Yu let those people enter the revolutionary party.
During this period, the revolutionary party came to him, but he didn't even bird them, Erin came to find Qin Yu once, the two girls met, Qin Yu said that Erin was his fiancΓ©e Zhang Xinyue was very sad, since then Zhang Xinyue has no previous enthusiasm, and avoids Qin Yu from time to time, Qin Yu is also very helpless about this.
Soon Qin Yu bought a medium-sized shipyard in England with the help of Aunt Erin, but nominally it was Aunt Erin's, so that he could build warships without the attention of the British, Qin Yu placed an order in his own shipyard, five medium-sized battleships, three cruisers and ten large oil tankers, which were completed in two years. There is also a secret order, which only Qin Yu and the shipyard's top management know: five Dreadnought battleships, which will be completed in five years; There are also two drawings drawn by Qin Yu himself, the warship named Fuxing, which is a generation more advanced than the Dreadnought, which was also completed five years later, and because of the sufficient time, Qin Yu ordered the shipyard to achieve the best quality in terms of quality.
During this period, Qin Yu also came into contact with a lot of British nobles, but many nobles did not believe Qin Yu, they all thought that the Qing people were stupid and could not cooperate, and those who were willing to cooperate with Qin Yu were just some declining small families, which made Qin Yu very devastated.
But soon he found a family with the help of Erin's uncle - the Wiki family, which has only risen in the last hundred years, and the current patriarch is the English earl, their influence in Britain is limited, but they are very influential in shipbuilding and shipping, and they now need to expand their family business, so after Qin Yu found them, they decided to cooperate with Qin Yu under the temptation of Qin Yu.
It was up to the Wiki family for Qin Yu's future warships to return home safely, but Qin Yu didn't tell the Wiki family about this, just let their shipping expand channels and conduct some trade in China and Southeast Asia.
The shipyards in China also began to build factories, Qin Yu used the updated equipment of the British shipyard as an excuse to transport many machines back to China, and the shipyards in Southeast Asia were in preparation, all of which were carried out in Qin Yu's expectations, which allowed Qin Yu to relax and study in the UK, which can also be said to be a holiday.
Soon, a year passed, at the end of 1907, Qin Yu graduated from Cambridge ahead of schedule, and when he graduated, the principal and teacher asked Qin Yu to continue studying, but Qin Yu refused, Qin Yu soon took a boat to France, he didn't know that there was a girl in the corner of the dock who watched him cry when he got on the boat.
