"Hey, that kid who sells the newspaper, has there been any big news lately?"

On the streets of Shanghai, a young man saw a newsboy shouting at the newspaper in his hand, and if it was the same as before, he would have done whatever he could.

But today, a flash of inspiration flashed in my head, and I suddenly became interested in these newspapers.

Hearing a customer greeting, the newsboy hurriedly trotted over, didn't care about wiping the sweat on his face, panted and held the newspaper and said, "Sir, the news has been getting much older lately, what are you interested in?"

"Since I'll tell you everything important, if I'm interested, I'll buy it all for you!" The young man waved his hand, and he was quite generous when he raised his hand.

The newsboy's eyes lit up, and then he began to take the newspaper out of the satchel on his waist, and introduced as he took it:

"Former President Feng Guozhang announced that he would retire from politics and return to his hometown in Hejian to farm for a living......

The man scoffed: "It's been over, what's that? Which of these officials can be trusted, and they are not waiting in that place to make a comeback in the future? That is, to deceive us, the common people, they are all a bunch of goods."

The newsboy was a little disappointed, but he hid the newspaper anyway, and introduced it to another newspaper:

"China borrowed another 10 million from Japan with an interest rate of 7% a year, which was guaranteed by all the income from salt services, indicating that it would tilt towards people's livelihood and education......

"Shit!" The man spat directly on the ground, very disdainful: "What year and generation is this, and you still want to use this excuse to continue the lake?" Didn't you just buy a large number of weapons from the Oriental devils last month, and you can't say that you will send us all these things, and you will have to make a living from hunting in the future, right? Next next!"

The newsboy pursed his lips, reluctantly stuffed the second newspaper back into his bag, and just as he was complaining and asking the guest whether he was sincere or not, he suddenly thought of an article in a certain evening newspaper, although it was not big news, but it was just right to use it at this time.

His eyes rolled, and the newsboy quickly took out the evening newspaper and said loudly:

"Cai Yuanpei, the president of Peking University, published an article at the conference of the upright primary school, saying that educators are not our people who educate children, but we are also taught by children."

Now the man was a little confused, and asked, "Bring the newspaper and let me see what it means?"

At this time, the newsboy smiled and did not take out the newspaper in time.

The man was stunned for a moment, instantly understood what was going on, took out a few copper plates from his waist, tossed them in his hand, and then handed them to the newsboy:

"Let's talk about it first, I'll stop in advance when I'm smart, or that, if there is something I'm satisfied with, I'll cover your newspaper today."

Seeing that his careful thinking was exposed, the newsboy's heart retreated, but after getting the hard copper plate, the unhappiness of that year completely disappeared.

"Sir, don't worry! Even if the newspapers here don't satisfy you, I'll try my best to make one up for you."

"The little one can! There is a future." The man laughed, then opened the newspaper and looked at it casually.

The above content is actually very simple, Cai Yuanpei expressed his importance to children's education in public, supported the establishment of experimental educational institutions, trained high-quality teachers, and provided excellent teaching materials.

The man sighed after reading it, didn't say anything, but silently folded the newspaper neatly and put it in his bag.

When the newsboy saw that there was a play, he hurriedly asked, "Is this newspaper okay now?"

The man shook his head: "Everyone can say good things, but action is more important, is there any other newspaper?"

Seeing that this business was about to fail, the newsboy was very anxious, and the rest didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, just say whatever they wanted.

"Japanese ronins are rampant in Shanghai, endangering one side."

"Okay, what can I do with other people? You can't beat and beat, you can't scold and scold, even if you are caught, in the end, not only do you have to send people over, but you also have to apologize, which is not news."

"A generation of romantic genius Li Shutong quietly escaped into the empty door."

"The way of this world, whose day

How much better can it be? It's good to look at the opening point."

"Professor Cheng, a great mathematician, continued to make great efforts in industry, first building airplanes and then ships, and the span is amazing......

"The government praised the absurdity of a martyr's suicide, and Mr. Hu Shi, a professor at Peking University, strongly opposed it."

"The Overseer met in Tientsin to discuss the ...... for the president."

Seeing the news read one by one, the man was not interested, and let the newsboy be a little decadent, and read all the newspaper headlines in a hurry, while thinking about whether to beat the retreat again.

The man suddenly became interested and said excitedly, "Wait, what did you just say? Read that headline to me again!"

Although the newsboy was a little confused, he still read the headline just now: "The Overseer's Legion ...... in Tianjin"

The man was a little anxious: "No, it's an injury."

"Last?" The newsboy opened the newspaper and said, "A martyr ......."

The two men strode up to the newsboy, took the stack of newspapers directly, and said while flipping through them, "It's not that you said this, it's still the last one."

Originally, the distance between them was not too far, but the man did not react twice, so he found the article, and as soon as he saw the headline, he said excitedly: "No one's news is as big as Cheng Nuo's news, but people are people who do practical things, maybe this day will change again."

The newsboy leaned his head over curiously, "Sir, what's written on this?"

The man smiled and said: "It is said that Professor Cheng wants to find cumbersome cooperation with Jiangnan, not only to build my country's 10,000-ton steamship, but also to cultivate a lot of shipbuilding talents, regardless of background or education, as long as you are willing to learn, you are welcome to sign up at any time.

The newsboy was still a little puzzled: "Sir, you said that it was so good, but people like us who don't have the next meal after eating the last meal, even if they want to, can't afford to pay for tuition and fees, the day is still that day, and it can't be changed."

The man waved his hand again and again, pointed to one of the passages and said, "The people have said in detail that as long as you are willing to study, you can work and study part-time, but if you want to stay and work in it after graduation, you can be exempted from tuition and miscellaneous fees, and you will also be provided with food and accommodation, and even subsidies."

After speaking, the man was still a little curious: "You said a lot of things just now, aren't you quite literate? Why can't you understand this?"

The newsboy scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "How can a baby without a father or mother have the money to study, these headlines are all old people in the newspaper hall, let us memorize by rote, after a long time, we can know a few common things, so many words we still can't understand."

The man solemnly put away the newspaper, clamped it in his armpit, and said earnestly: "Then you should sign up, only by learning this path, you will have the opportunity to change your fate, and if you want to change the world, go to Professor Cheng!"

The newsboy seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and his face was full of confusion.

However, he could still feel the kindness in it, and said seriously, "Thank you, sir."

The man smiled and said, "No thanks, it's a matter of one sentence, but the opportunity is rare, you have to hurry, if you miss this village, there will be no such shop."

After saying these words, the man did not continue to persuade, but took out a large amount of paper money from his wallet, solemnly placed it in the newspaper boy's hand, and bought all the newspapers that published Cheng Nuo's information.

"Manly man, do what you say, you keep thinking, I'll leave first if I have something here, and we'll see you again in the future."

At this time, the newsboy woke up suddenly, holding the banknote tightly in his hand, and asked loudly at the man's figure:

"Sir, may I ask your first name?"

The man did not turn around, but waved his hand in the air:

"If you don't change your name, if you don't change your surname, Zhu Kezhen is also!"

……

On the other hand, Cheng Nuo didn't know how much of a sensation his own admissions publicity had caused in the outside world, and he was still discussing the details of cooperation with Chen Zhaoqiang and others.

"In a word, we don't focus on making but on learning!"

Cheng Nuo knocked on the table with a pencil

He continued to express his opinion: "We don't just want to build ships, but we want to regain our manufacturing and driving skills, accumulate corresponding experience, and cultivate outstanding talents through shipbuilding.

Then we will summarize the knowledge and cultivate more talents, so as to establish a relatively complete industrial system."

Huang Yanpei originally attached great importance to vocational education, so he agreed with Cheng Nuo's views very much, but he was cautious on the issue of funding: "Although it is good, we want everything and do everything, and the funds will be very tight.

Cheng Nuo shook his head: "Not to mention the investment we have before, the four ships are now charged at US$195 per ton, a total of US$7.8 million, as long as we make reasonable arrangements, we can ensure the orderly training of talents while ensuring the timely delivery."

Chen Zhaoqiang shook his head: "Blind optimism is not advisable, the famous shipyard for new shipyards has to be changed to a Sino-French joint venture because of financial problems, which seems to be beneficial to us, but in fact, it has been controlled by the French for a long time, and our Chinese directors have long been in name only."

Qiuxin shipyard alias Shanghai Qiuxin Machinery Factory, its founder is Zhu Zhiyao, born in Shanghai sand shipbuilding family, sand ship for ancient China unique ship type, is the Qing Dynasty to undertake the grain shipping protagonist, Qianjia years, Shanghai sand shipbuilding industry has "Zhu Wang Shen Yu" four families, with Zhu family first.

However, in Zhu Zhiyao's time, the sand boat business had been taken away by steamers, and the family road was in decline.

Fortunately, his uncle was the famous Ma Xiangbo, the founder of Aurora College, Fudan Public School and Fu Jen University, and under his operation, Zhu Zhiyao entered the steamship China Merchants Bureau as a comprador.

It's just that this comprador is not another comprador, although he has been a bank comprador, he is mainly a technology-oriented entrepreneur. The Qiuxin Shipyard founded later is a pioneering initiative in the history of China's machinery development, and is known as "the giant in China's machinery factory".

It is a pity to catch up with the first war, the price of steel in the domestic market remains high, resulting in the new shipyard high debts, by the French businessmen to take advantage of the void, so far there is no way back.

Cheng Nuo smiled: "So we need a large number of professionals to join here, which seems to increase the investment in training, but from another point of view, it can reduce our investment in scientific research."

Huang Yanpei was puzzled, "What does this mean? If it is really like what you said, then we will definitely save a lot of money, after all, there is a considerable risk of failure in scientific research investment, and the risk of talent training in this area is obviously smaller."

Cheng Nuo didn't answer in a hurry, but got up and came to the blackboard behind him, and wrote down the four big words "incremental innovation".

When everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they didn't know what it meant, Cheng Nuo said slowly: "The so-called incremental innovation is often not the result of deliberate research and development activities.

Rather, it is the result of inventions and improvements made by engineers and other people directly involved in production activities.

It's not remarkable, but it's also an innovative development in the industry."

After a pause, Cheng Nuo said: "In other words, this is the main way for our country's early machinery enterprises to accumulate technical capabilities, many industrialists in the early stage of work, on the one hand, out of interest, on the other hand, in order to increase income, make up for family expenses, or study some small things.

[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading

Production has brought difficulties, if it was in the past, Jiangnan Shipyard could still endure it and barely get by.

But not now, the old American side is urging quite tightly, and the construction period is getting closer and closer, and the principal is anxious to go around like ants on the hot pot, but the problem cannot be solved.

It's not that there are no solutions to the problem, such as asking the Americans to buy technology, there is a new gasoline engine that can replace the boiler water pipe.

But the problem is that the other party seems to have eaten the Jiangnan Shipyard, and directly offered tens of thousands of dollars, you must know that the Jiangnan Shipbuilding Institute only has a few profits from building a 10,000-ton ship, and now the money has not been received, so it is too painful to scatter some first.

Fortunately, the other party did not bite the price too hard, and finally pressed it to $10,000, and the negotiations fell into a deadlock again for a while, and it seemed that there was only one way to pay $10,000.

At this time, Cheng Nuo was like a god soldier from heaven, and directly took out the drawings "borrowed" from Europe, saying that he could not only sell the technology at a low price, but also transfer all the drawings, structures, models and manufacturing technologies to the Jiangnan Shipyard, and at the same time be responsible for training.

For a while, Jiangnan Shipyard was very excited.

Considering that the governments of Europe and the United States have issued orders to prohibit the export of mechanical lathes and other components for their domestic applications, our domestic enterprises have no machines available.

Cheng Nuo said that he could lease some of the machinery that was "cleverly" shipped from Europe, and the price was negotiable.

Hearing this benefit, Jiangnan Shipyard began to hesitate, Cheng Nuo was too good to them, it was really bottomless.

But even so, Cheng Nuo is not finished, but also expressed his willingness to sell Krupp steel at a friendly price and fully support the delivery of the 10,000-ton ship on schedule.

In this way, the three-board axe went down, and the Jiangnan Shipbuilding Institute was completely stunned.

It's not that Cheng Nuo is willing to give up his capital, but the person in charge of the Jiangnan Shipyard is now the foreign old man - Morgan.

This old guy, goblin.
