In addition, Hu Weidong did not forget to use the need for scientific research as an excuse to purchase gas centrifuges, ion exchange resins, and other important equipment and related production equipment in advance, as long as the self-splitting phenomenon of uranium-235 is announced, China's nuclear weapons development work can begin immediately, and our industrial and scientific and technological base is far from being comparable with that of the West and the Soviet Union. Of course, Hu Weidong did buy some real experimental equipment, even if all the scientists applied it because of the needs of the Anti-Japanese War, at least they were still needed in the university

Although he did not let go of the purchase, Hu Weidong still spent 70 million US dollars in the United States in just one month, but it is not enough to have equipment, and the personnel who can operate these equipment and machines are the same, or even more important, and at present, many industrial sectors in China, or in the Central Plains base areas, do not have them at all, and it is naturally impossible for employees to fall from the sky, so there is no doubt that Hu Weidong can only recruit in the United States, but he has always been envious of the high wages in the United States, but he just wants to scold at this time." The salary is set so high that it will be damned to death! ”

Even in the Great Depression, the average annual wage of American workers was still as high as seven or eight hundred dollars, and the number of skilled Jishu workers was at least thousands, and China at this time was not only poor and backward, but also shrouded in the clouds of war

"I can only appeal to the Chinese and overseas Chinese youth to return to China as much as possible," Hu Weidong sighed helplessly.

However, the status of the Chinese in North America is low, and many important jobs cannot be held by them at all, and the population base of overseas Chinese in North America is not as large as that in Nanyang, and the room for screening is much smaller. You must know that Hu Weidong is still preparing to go to Europe to continue to sweep goods, how can he run out of money early?

Fortunately, Hu Weidong brought Mao Zemin, a financial expert, this time, and he not only became familiar with the economic system and social situation of the United States in just two or three months. I also found a lot of ideas to save money, such as all-inclusive accommodation (at this time, the price in the United States is not higher than in China, and including room and board does not actually save money, but it can greatly reduce the one-time investment of foreign exchange.) As a result, the cash pressure is significantly relieved. ), buying them insurance, etc., with great difficulty, pushed the average salary to three times their salary in the United States, and the time for the average salary advance was also reduced to half a year. Before Hu Weidong left the United States, more than 3,000 Americans had been recruited, and nearly $10 million in cash needed to be paid in a lump sum. Although it is still very expensive, it is already within the range of what he can accept. In addition, Hu Weidong also asked Ford to help train Chinese technicians, and when they return to China after completing their studies, not only will the number of technicians be more sufficient, but those ghosts whose salaries are so high that he will be sad can almost be gradually sent back to China

Hu Weidong didn't stay in the United States for long, and he set foot on European soil shortly after the economic crisis spread to Europe in February. Although today the scale of industry in the United States is not inferior even to the whole of Western Europe. However, in terms of scientific and technological level, Europe still has certain advantages in many aspects, and in addition to the United Kingdom, most European countries use metric units, whether it is the efficiency of digestion and production or the accuracy of production and processing, they have more advantages than American goods, especially Germany, Switzerland and other countries that are originally known for their Seiko

Although the United Kingdom is basically dominated by imperial units. But Hu Weidong still set foot in the British Isles because there are some outstanding talents here that cannot be missed. Among them, Shao Xianghua, an authoritative expert in the steel industry in the later generations, who was studying at the University of London, resolutely gave up the master's degree that he could get in a few months after talking with Hu Weidong, and returned to China ahead of schedule. Later, it made immeasurable contributions to the development of the iron and steel industry in the base area. And Frank, the father of jet engines, who built the first jet engine in history but never received enough financial support. Whittle was also moved by Hu Weidong's sincerity and promise, and agreed to work in the Central Plains base area. …,

There was also an unexpected surprise. Rolls-Royce, which has been famous for its engines, especially aircraft engines, was forced to lay off employees due to the economic crisis, and he naturally will not let go of these outstanding talents, even if they are eliminated, they are also from Rolls-Royce! Although Hu Weidong spent a huge price to get only one-third of the personnel due to the arrogance of the British, these people not only had outstanding ability, but also wanted to build an aircraft engine that was more intelligent than Rolls-Royce's company to slap the old boss in the face, and after arriving at the base area, his work enthusiasm was extremely high, and he made irreplaceable outstanding contributions to the development of China's aircraft manufacturing industry

Compared with the Americans, the average salary of the British is lower, but few of them are willing to go to China, and the situation is similar in other Western European countries, even in Spain, which is mired in civil war and people are panicking, most of the citizens choose to go to neighboring countries rather than distant China, as a result, Hu Weidong has not harvested half of the skilled workers in Europe, but fortunately he brought in a talent team that meets at least the minimum industrialization requirements at the cost of the United States, otherwise he would have to go back to the United States to recruit talentsThat's fucked up.

Although France's national strength is not as good as that of the United States, the Soviet Union, Germany and Britain, the idle rate of production capacity and the unemployment rate of workers under the economic crisis are the highest, and the industrial sector is very complete, and the level of Jishu is not bad, so it is natural that it has become the focus of Hu Weidong's purchase of machinery and equipment and the introduction of workers, second only to the United States in terms of quantity.

At the same time, the banking industry in France is very developed, and Hu Weidong is now short of money, so he naturally has the idea of an empty glove white wolf. At this time, the French bank capital was worried about no one to lend, so the two sides hit it off, Hu Weidong successfully won a long-term loan of 20 million US dollars, repaid in ten years, although the annual interest rate was as high as 20%, but the French agreed that Hu Weidong proposed that after 39 years to start repaying the principal and interest in batches, they were doomed to the fate of being pitted

30% of Zhongfu International's shares were used by Hu Weidong as collateral for loans, but this method could only be used last time, so Hu Weidong naturally remembered penicillin, which has gradually gained the reputation of a miracle drug in Europe. However, penicillin is indeed abundant, but those foreign businessmen are very cautious, and there is not enough stock in front of them, so that they will not pay too much for an empty "franchise" (to be continued).
