Chapter 192: The Talent of the Pillars
Three days later, Zhu Wan, as the eldest sister, invited her younger brother and sister to dinner in a medium-sized restaurant.
There are more people who came this time, except for Zhu Ling in Suzhou, who didn't come, the rest of the families all arrived, including Zhu Min, Zhu Zeduan and Zhu Zeming, a total of four families, adults and children together, a total of more than 20 people, as a grandmother Liu Qing was also present.
Unlike the Qin family, which is mostly businessmen, the Zhu family is considered a scholarly family. Both uncles are university professors, and the children below are also studying in school, some of whom have graduated from college.
This banquet, Qin Ling and Qin Yue both took their children to participate. Zhang Naijing and Wang Shu did not go as sons-in-law.
Among them, Wang Shu is not suitable for going out because he is monitored by the Qingbai Party and is followed everywhere he goes.
Zhang Naijing is the wealthy man of the Zhang family, an authentic businessman, wearing a suit and leather shoes, looking forward to life, and is incompatible with a scholar.
Although Qin Di is a big capitalist, he is the nephew of the Zhu family, and he is dressed simply, looking like an idle person who has nothing to do, not like an accomplished celebrity. When a scholar sees him, he will not have an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Uncle Zhu Zeduan is a professor of philosophy, and he has no obvious political leanings. Although he said that he was not used to all kinds of shortcomings in society, he could think about it and felt that this was an inevitable stage of social evolution, so he did not have too much disgust with the Qingbai Party.
After his brother-in-law Zhu Zeming came back from Germany, he taught at Jiaotong University, and his life was too leisurely, and he was a little anxious.
He returned to the magic capital, mainly to take care of his mother Liu Qing, but Liu Qing was not yet seventy years old, healthy, and lively, so he didn't need to take care of him at all, so he couldn't help but want to go abroad and continue to conduct physical experiments.
Qin Di asked, "Uncle, what did you study before?"
Zhu Zeming said: "I am engaged in the research of radioactive particles in a research institute in Berlin. ”
Qin Di's heart moved, and he asked, "Then do you know Alto Hahn?"
He is relatively old and is the deputy director of the research institute. ”
"There's another one named Friedrich or something, you know?"
"Well, he's two years younger than me, but he's very talented......"
Qin Di thought to himself: "This is a pioneering figure in the weapon of mass destruction! It is a miracle that my uncle, has the opportunity to enter their laboratory! It is a pity that he left the laboratory like this! However, although the Germans pioneered this research, after all, it did not produce results, and the German ** came to power, if my uncle went again, it would be too dangerous!"
Therefore, he pondered for a moment and said, "Uncle, I have a proposal for you. Do you have any acquaintances in the U.S., such as mentors or classmates, who are engaged in similar research?"
Zhu Zeming said: "Yes, I graduated from the University of California, there is a nuclear physics institute there, and some people are engaged in related research, but the investment is limited, and the experimental progress is not as good as that of Germany!"
Qin Di patted his head: "Oh my God, this is a great opportunity! Uncle, you have to go back to the United States and strive to enter the institute!"
Zhu Zeming frowned and said, "I told you, the research progress there is far inferior to Germany!"
Qin Di said: "Don't go to Germany! Two years ago, Hitler came to power, and this man is a madman who will cause chaos in the world. ”
"How do you know?"
In July 1933, this man introduced the "Genetic Sterilization Act", which forcibly sterilized hundreds of thousands of people with hereditary diseases, including alcoholics, prostitutes, criminals, and obstructors of the peace. ”
Zhu Zeming doesn't care about politics on weekdays, and was taken aback when he heard this: "Is it? What the hell is this?"
Qin Di said: This person will become more and more crazy, so you can't go to Germany, you are not a purebred Germanic!"
Zhu Zeming was silent for a moment, looking at his mother Liu Qing, his wife and his two young sons.
Qin Di smiled and said, "Uncle, if you are willing to go, I will give you 2 million US dollars as a settling-in allowance!
Zhu Zeming suddenly got up and asked in surprise, "Is that really the case?"
$2,000,000 is a lot of money! Don't forget, a house is only $2,000!
Qin Di nodded: "A gentleman's word, it is difficult to chase a horse! I have only one request, you must come back before 1950." ”
Because before that, it was easier to come back, and if it was delayed any longer, it would be like Qian Xuesen, and the captured US pilots would be exchanged for back. Moreover, after 1950, the United States began McCarthyism, and the Chinese had a hard time in the United States.
Zhu Zeming smiled: "How could I wait until 1950? I will come back after five or six years of working in the United States." ”
Qin Di thought to himself: "Five or six years is not good, the big killing weapon has not been researched yet." ”
However, since Zhu Zeming has gone, once he gets involved in this kind of research, it is impossible to give up halfway.
At this time, the United States was thirsty for talents, and many German, French, and British scientists were involved in research. There are tens of thousands of people who participated in the research of mass killers!
The two of them had a conversation at the banquet, and it was decided that Zhu Zeming would go to the United States, and as for what would happen in the future, it was too early to say.
At this banquet, Qin Di did not mention the possible invasion of China by the Japanese army, firstly because there were too many people present, and secondly, because his uncle, as a professor of philosophy, either moved west with the government or stayed in the concession to continue teaching, as long as he did not know how to join the Great Red Party, the possibility of being killed was relatively small. And Aunt Zhu Min's husband Zhang He, who is the manager of Cathay Pharmaceutical, will evacuate the magic capital before the war. According to Qin Di's idea, the entire Cathay Pacific Pharmaceutical will be moved away and will not be left to the Japanese.
January 28, 1935, is the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, the new year.
On this day, an article was published in the "News": "Mingzhou Home Textiles transferred assets, and the rich infringed on the interests of minority shareholders." ”
I don't know where the reporter came from, but he went deep into Mingzhou Home Textiles and wrote first-hand information, saying that the listed company was transferring assets, secretly set up a branch factory in Chengdu, and pulled out a group of technical personnel to work, such a series of actions without the consent of the board of directors.
Qin Di couldn't help frowning when he saw the news: "Who is so boring?
Previously, he used the means of suppressing and absorbing chips, and had already won most of the shares, but later he injected funds to increase capital and shares, and further increased the controlling stake, reaching 79%. This is already an absolute holding. I didn't expect someone to make a demon out of it.
So, on the one hand, he asked Li Anqing, the manager of Mingzhou Home Textiles, to strengthen the security work, and on the other hand, he applied to the Modu Securities Regulatory Bureau for privatization and delisting.
In addition, he also wrote a statement, saying that the opening of a branch factory in the west is to make better use of Chengdu's manpower and material resources, and will not affect the production efficiency of the Modu factory.
This was originally a commonplace trivial matter, but after he took the initiative to raise the purchase price, he quickly completed the privatization process and turned Mingzhou Home Textiles into a private enterprise, and the matter subsided.
At the beginning, the reason why Qin Zhaoji listed the textile industry was mainly to improve the ability to resist blows. However, the high transparency of listed companies restricts Qin Di's free operation, so it is better to privatize.
However, in this way, some people were surprised by the financial resources of the Qin family, and they actually took the huge Mingzhou home textiles into their pockets, and they really deserved to be the richest man in the Republic of China!
