A month later, on February 18, five days before the Spring Festival, Qin Hanxu entered the house with a young Japanese woman.

This person's name is "Keiko", she is slender, beautiful, wearing a kimono, with a humble smile on her face, and bows carefully all the way, for fear of being kicked out of the house.

Qin Zhaoji and Qin Zhang were dumbfounded, wanting to scold Qin Hanxu, but they couldn't open their mouths.

At this time, Qin Hanxu said with a smile: "Dad, mother, I have an official status now, you have to save some face for me." ”

Qin Zhaoji snorted coldly: "What kind of official have you done?

"Hehe, I'm now the deputy director of the Quartermaster Agency, based in the magic capital, procuring supplies. ”

"How many officials is this?"

"Dad, now it's the Republic of China, and officials don't know their ranks. If you put it aside, it would probably be a seven-rank official. ”

"Seven pins, well, that's also an official body......

There is no one in the Qin family to be an official, if according to the previous rules, when you see the prince of Qipin County, you have to kneel. Although it is said that it is now the Republic of China, the status of the official is still superior.

What's more, Qin Zhaoji couldn't bear to scold his son anymore, and since his daughter-in-law entered the door, he could only grit his teeth and admit it.

From this day on, there was a little daughter-in-law from Japan in the Qin family compound.

After several family dinners, Keiko's situation gradually revealed.

Keiko's full name is "Keiko Inoue", a native of Chiba Prefecture, Kanto, Japan, who speaks Chinese and is not very fluent, but can communicate. She said she was of Chinese descent and that her ancestors were Han Chinese from the past Song Dynasty. Her father taught at Chiba University. She graduated from Ueno Business College, met Qin Hanxu by chance, and fell in love with him. This time, she followed her to the magic capital and wanted to open a bookstore here, but unfortunately she didn't have enough funds yet.

It stands to reason that the Qin family's industry also has a share of Qin Hanxu. However, after the Qin family suffered a big loss from Qin Hanliang's stock speculation, although the yarn factory gradually recovered, the old man couldn't take out too much money at once.

So, the second brother Qin Hancheng straightened his waist again and said that he could lend 10,000 oceans to the third child.

Keiko was very happy and bowed again and again to thank her.

After a period of consideration, under the persuasion of Qin Di and Zhu Wan, Qin Hancheng did not go to work in the bank again, but went to the Magic Capital Chinese Commercial Exchange and got a seat as an independent broker.

The so-called independent broker is a broker who develops the market by himself and serves his own company.

The China Commercial Exchange trades not only stocks, but also futures materials and bonds. For example, cotton, the price can be locked in months in advance. Another example is grain, which can also be traded in futures. As early as 1848, there was the Chicago Board of Trade in the United States. Although the scale of the China Commercial Exchange is not so large, and the price discovery is not so timely, it can exchange information and grasp the price changes in time.

In other words, Qin Hancheng was mainly responsible for locking in the buying and selling prices of the yarn mill and grain, and the following managers were responsible for the specific operation.

In this way, Qin Zhaoji and Qin Hanliang only produced cotton yarn, and their mood was much more relaxed, and they were not so worried and anxious.

The manager of the grain store was selected by Qin Di, this person's name is "Zhu Shi", and he is Zhu Wan's distant cousin, although he does not have much education, but he has more than ten years of business experience and his character is also trustworthy.

In fact, the grain bank is not the main source of money, and the Qin family's real profit is the pharmaceutical factory.

After two or three years of hard work, Zhu Wan has three pharmaceutical companies under her command, one is called the "Guotai Chemical Factory", which specializes in the production of raw materials such as acetic anhydride and citric acid; the other is called the "Guotai Pharmaceutical Factory", which specializes in the synthesis of "Tianliang Tablets", that is, aspirin, and the other is called the "Guotai Pharmaceutical Import and Export Company", which sells dog meat on the head of a sheep and is responsible for the distribution of medicines. In the future, these three factories together can form a large company of "Guotai Pharmaceutical".

In addition, Zhu Wan is also in charge of the Ci'an Hall and a small medical research institute.

Qin Hanliang knew about the existence of the pharmaceutical factory, but he did not know the specific situation of the accounts.

He knew that Zhu Wan had made money, but he didn't know how much he had earned.

At this time, Tianliang tablets have been sold to major cities across the country, with a monthly income of up to 50,000 silver dollars.

For the money flowing in like a big water, Zhu Wan was already numb.

She is only interested in curing diseases and saving people, and she doesn't have too many ideas about money, so she can't lower the price and sell "Tianliang Tablets" to every patient.

As Qin Di grew up day by day, his voice gradually increased, and Zhu Wan began to delegate power and handed over the management of the pharmaceutical factory to him.

She hired two bodyguards for her son, and then let him toss at will.

She didn't know that over the years, her son had been concentrating on cultivation, and his body had undergone qualitative changes.

Qin Di's cultivation of true qi gradually increased, gathered in his fist, can smash pebbles with one punch, scattered under the skin, it is similar to a golden bell hood iron cloth shirt, if you fight with people, a dozen or so big men can't get close.

However, he never showed his skills because he felt that his realm was too low.

On February 12, 1912, the Empress Dowager Yulong, instead of the emperor Puyi, promulgated the "Edict of Abdication of the Qing Emperor", granting Yuan Shikai full powers to form a provisional government. On March 10, Yuan Shikai officially became the provisional president in Beijing. The Senate moved to Shangjing. In May, the provisional Senate decided that the National Assembly should adopt a bicameral system, divided into a Senate and a House of Representatives.

At this time, Qin Di was still free and did not go to school. He focused his main efforts on the Institute of Medicine.

The institute hired five people, two chemists, one physiologist, one pathologist, and one bacteriologist, plus Zhu Wan, a doctor, and Qin Di himself, a total of seven people.

Physiologists and pathologists have other full-time jobs, they are professors at St. John's University, and they only come to the institute in their spare time.

In other words, there are only three main researchers in the institute, named Huang Renmao, Zhang Qianlun, and Hong Shibao, all of whom are young people, college students trained in China, and have never stayed abroad. But all those who have stayed abroad are arrogant, and they will not come to work in this small research institute.

Qin Di signed a five-year agreement with them, with a monthly salary of 150 yuan in the first year and an increase of 10% every year thereafter, but there was no right to authorship the research results.

The three of them were overjoyed and readily agreed, because this was a very high salary, and they couldn't even get half of it if they changed it elsewhere.

You know, the average salary is very low this year. In 1912, Lu Xun returned from Japan, and his monthly salary was only 30 yuan!

As for not being able to sign it, it doesn't matter!

Although it is very hard to do research, who can guarantee that within three to five years, the results will be produced?

It is not easy to come up with results! This is in backward old China, where one was poor and two white, both eyes were black, food and clothing were all problems, there was a lack of scientific research literature, no data could be found, and it was very difficult to even follow the new science and technology of foreign countries, so how could we dare to talk about innovation?

So, for these researchers, this small research institute is very suspicious, and it will not be able to operate for a year or two and then shut down!

Some people pondered in their hearts: "The pass is closed! What I signed is not a deed of sale! As long as I work here for a year and earn 1,800 oceans, I should be satisfied!"
