Nicoson was triumphantly waiting for Yan Zhengqing's reply, but inadvertently heard several people in the hotel discussing.

"Lao Zhao, are you sure you read that right?! Is that really Mr. Fan?! One waiter whispered to another waiter standing at the door.

"Hey! How could I be wrong?! I met Mr. Fan with my own eyes when I was in Jinmen last time, and my cousin's son is still working in Mr. Fan's factory! The waiter who was called Lao Zhao smiled and said: "Mr. Fan's Yongli Alkali Factory is called the Three Treasures of Tianjin along with Ta Kung Pao and Nankai University!" How could I be wrong?! ”

Hearing this, Nicoson immediately stopped, Wynn Alkali Factory?! The Three Treasures of Jinmen?! Nicholson suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and he thought of someone! An old rival of his, a man who makes him angry but helpless!

Suddenly, Nicolson turned around and grabbed the waiter's collar and roared with red eyes, "What did you just say?!" Yongli Alkali Plant?! Did you see Fan Xudong?! ”

The waiter was caught by Nicoson and was shocked on the spot! Unable to speak for a long time, Nicoson knew that the poor waiter was frightened by himself. So he eased his expression and tone, stuffed a piece of Yuan Datou to Lao Zhao, and then whispered to Lao Zhao.

"Ah~ Don't get me wrong! I am good friends with Mr. Xudong! I heard that he had also come to Manchuria, so I had to know where he lived and where he had gone. ”

Lao Zhao, who received the money, looked a little better, and said to Nicoson: "I saw Mr. Fan at the Xiaobeimen, he seems to have gone to the National Defense Force Commander's Office......"

After listening to Lao Zhao's words, Nikoson's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, he is really here!! Nikoson shook off Lao Zhao's collar, rushed to the door, and suddenly got into the car, and shouted at the driver who was still stunned: "Quick!" Go to the Wehrmacht Commandant's Office!! ”

Seeing that the driver was still in his spirits, Nicolson roared with red eyes: "If you can't catch up, I'll let you roll up and leave immediately!" Fast!! ”

The driver does not dare to slack off! Started the car violently and rushed towards the Wehrmacht Commander's Office!

At the Office of the Commander of the National Defense Forces, Yan Zhengqing stood up with a solemn face and said solemnly to a man about fifty years old: "Mr. Fan! I've heard of it for a long time! Admiration! ”

The man looked a little embarrassed, and although he was wearing a suit, he obviously hadn't cleaned up much. Seeing it, he knew that he had been rushing over, and the man did not say anything ashamed in the face of Yan Zhengqing's praise, but said urgently: "Mr. Zhichang! This fertilizer factory can't be built by foreign capital! As soon as you agree, I'll get the engineers here! Open our own fertilizer factory for Chinese!! ”

This man. His name is Fan Xudong. Perhaps, now many people have forgotten his name. But I want everyone to know that this person who doesn't like politeness is the father of China's modern heavy chemical industry!

In modern Chinese history, from 1914 to 1945. He was the first to build a refined salt factory with a few iron pots!

It's him! The first to set up a soda plant and a caustic soda plant!

It's him! The first ammonium sulphate plant was created!

Or him! The first to establish a National Association of Refined Salt!

During the Anti-Japanese War, after losing the factory, he was the first to open up a new wartime chemical base in southwest Sichuan! There, his chief engineer Hou Debang invented the famous "Hou's alkali method"!

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the Chinese were once contemptuously called the "soil eating nation", and the person who changed this situation was still him! Fan Xudong!

During the Republic of China, developed countries in the West have clearly stipulated that salt with a sodium chloride content of less than 85% is not even allowed to be used as feed; And in China at that time. In many places, less than 50% of the salt is for human consumption!

Therefore, some Westerners ridicule China as a "land-eating nation". It was this man who changed all this, he developed the first batch of refined salt in China, and sold these refined salts all over the country! Let the Chinese no longer be ridiculed as a "land-eating people"!

"As long as Mr. Fan is willing, the three eastern provinces will guarantee to provide all financial assistance to Mr." Yan Zhengqing was overjoyed when he heard this, and said in a deep voice to Fan Xudong.

"There is no way for us to introduce foreign capital, sir, you should know! We simply don't have these production processes in our country...... Even engineers are lacking! If the gentleman is willing to come, then I promise to provide all the assistance! Don't worry about money at all! It is borne by the three eastern provinces! ”

Fan Xudong heard Yan Zhengqing say this. I couldn't help but feel a little hot in my eyes. The problem of funds has always been a headache for him. His initial idea was just to gain a certain amount of support in the three eastern provinces, but he didn't expect Yan Zhengqing to open his mouth to give him so much support.

From 1930 onwards. Fan Xudong wanted to build China's sulfuric acid industry, and he submitted a report to the Ministry of Industry in Nanjing, hoping that the financial department would allocate 20 million yuan, 6 million yuan to set up alkali plants, 8 million yuan to set up nitric acid plants, and 6 million yuan to set up sulfuric acid plants.

However, the official reply given by the government was empty and not implemented, and his hopes were completely disappointed. In recent years, he has traveled from bank to bank, trying to finance the project, but the results have been limited.

Although the Nanjing government established the Ministry of Industry and formulated ten industrial plans. But they seem to be more trusting of foreign companies. At present, the Nanjing government is negotiating with the British Bnemen Company and the German Ichie Pigment Industry Company to introduce and set up a joint venture factory.

Therefore, Fan Xudong's running in Nanjing and Shanghai seems so tragic and helpless.

"What Mr. Chitsune said is true?! The three eastern provinces are willing to bear the financial problem with one hand?! Fan Xudong asked nervously: "You know, this is not a small amount!" ”

And Yan Zhengqing laughed! said to Fan Xudong: "I am not poor in the three eastern provinces!" Finances are especially not poor! Mr. Fan knows about the recent relief of the victims, right?! At present, 5 million victims of the disaster have been resettled in the three eastern provinces, and all of them have been granted land for them to cultivate, and the policy is tax exemption for one year! The next year, the tax is only 5% of the harvest! For the benefit of the people! ”

Fan Xudong had heard of these things, after all, the Wehrmacht's disaster relief was in an uproar! Fan Xudong, who travels around Shanghai and Nanjing, has seen these news in the newspapers more than once.

Thereupon. Fan Xudong hesitated for a moment and said to Yan Zhengqing: "Mr. Zhichang, can I meet the commander-in-chief?!" As long as he personally confirms this, I will take our engineers to investigate the factory site! Build the factory as soon as possible......"

Yan Zhengqing laughed, pulled Fan Xudong and walked towards Tu Qianjun's office.

Junzi is now in the office sorting out his notebooks, which contain some things that he can remember. It's all written in some cipherlands. If it weren't for his own translation, others would never be able to understand it.

And that secret language may only be understood by those who have crossed over and even served in China's special forces like him. However, this is obviously impossible, and the contents of these seven or eight notebooks can only be understood by him.

While he was looking at his diary and thinking about his trip to Germany, Chandinand shouted at the door: "Report! Mr. Yan Zhengqing is here to see! ”

Tu Qianjun put away the diary and stood up to greet him. But I saw Shang Dinan leading Yan Zhengqing and a middle-aged man with glasses who he didn't know walking in slowly, and the man was extremely excited when he saw him!

He took a few steps forward and grabbed Tu Qianjun's hand, and said in a trembling voice: "But General Tu is in front of him?!" I've heard of it for a long time! I admire it so much!! ”

"In the year of the general's weak crown, he fought a decisive battle with the Japanese invaders in Jinan! Then after returning from studying in the United States, he defeated Soviet Russia in Harbin, and then annihilated the Kwantung Army that invaded us at Shanhaiguan! This achievement can show the sun and the moon! But when he saw the man with glasses facing Tu Qianjun, he said impassionedly: "It's rare that the general is a man with a benevolent heart, and he actually sent people to help the disaster in the year of the catastrophe!" Gather the outcasts! Charity! What a great act of kindness! ”

Although Tu Qianjun didn't know who this was, he was still a little embarrassed to be praised so much in person. He smiled and looked at Yan Zhengqing. Seeing that Tu Qianjun was embarrassed, Yan Zhengqing smiled and told Tu Qianjun about the matter.

And after knowing that this was Fan Xudong, Tu Qianjun was silent. He remembered that in later generations, Fan Xudong's descendants once repeatedly refused when interviewed by reporters, she said: "I now walk on the street of Shanghai and ask my peers, do you know where the salt you eat comes from?" No one knows, no one knows who Fan Xudong is. ”

Fan Xudong, the founder of Chinese industry, has been forgotten. The firsts he created were all forgotten. Only the dilapidated office building of the "Jiuda Refined Salt Company" standing in Jinmen is silently telling of his former glory.

Seeing that Tu Qianjun didn't speak, Fan Xudong's heart gradually sank. But before he could say anything, he saw Tu Qianjun asking in a deep voice to Yan Zhengqing, "Teacher, how much money do we have in our warehouse?!" ”

Yan Zhengqing was stunned when he heard this, then smiled and whispered to Tu Qianjun: "The specific thing to look at is the account book, but it won't be less than 200 million......"

He has been with Tu Qianjun for a long time, he naturally knows Tu Qianjun's thoughts, and Tu Qianjun is probably going to do a big job!

"Uncle Xudong! I'll be cheeky to call you Uncle Xudong! Tu Qianjun solemnly turned to Fan Xudong and said in a deep voice: "I ask you to relocate all the factories to Manchuria!" Among them, we are responsible for the relocation costs of the three eastern provinces! Aren't you planning to build a soda plant, a nitric acid plant, and a sulfuric acid plant for 20 million?! I can sign for you here and allocate 40 million to you for research and development!! ”

Fan Xudong was excited! He didn't expect Tu Qianjun's support here to be so great! He didn't expect Tu Qianjun to give him so much money!

"Ask for money! I'll allocate money! If you want land, I'll pull the land! Tu Qianjun looked at Fan Xudong and said in a deep voice: "I only have two requirements!" First, I hope that you and your R&D personnel can build our own chemical industry for Chinese! Second, I hope you and your engineers will take the time to take a class at the University of Tokyo! Cultivate our own chemical talents for Chinese! ”
