Now that you have enough money, you can spend it lavishly.

Qin Di bought rare medicinal herbs through Ci'an Tang for him to wash his marrow and cut hair, and asked his mother to build a small chemical factory on Chongming Island to extract acetic anhydride, citric acid and salicylic acid. You can't expect to buy all these things, you must always have your own industrial base, otherwise you can't expand your business, and it's easy to be found out.

In addition, he took out nearly half of the funds, a total of 300,000 US dollars, and asked his father Qin Hancheng to come forward to set up the "Qin's Grain Store", and hired a manager and a group of men to import grain from the United States and Nanyang.

He also took out 30,000 oceans to buy microscopes, incubators, petri dishes and other items to build a small medical laboratory.

As for the rest of the funds, most of them were purchased into real estate.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the population of the magic capital had reached one million, and the price of real estate increased rapidly, and a Shikumen house sold for tens of thousands of silver dollars. After more than ten years, in 1928, Lu Xun's rented Shikumen house would cost 50,000 oceans to buy. Therefore, for the wealthy families in the magic capital, they have known that house speculation is the last word since ancient times.

The days passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was 1911.

In mid-January, 2,000 British troops invaded western Yunnan. In late October, tens of thousands of workers in Wuhan rallied to protest the killing of people in the patrol houses of the British Concession in Hankow. On April 27, the Guangzhou Uprising, the 72 martyrs of Huanghuagang. In May and June, Changsha and Sichuan launched a road protection campaign.

On October 10, the Wuchang Uprising broke out, and the Xinhai Revolution broke out. Sheng Xuanhuai fled to Japan.

On November 3, the magic capital was restored, and Chen Qimei was appointed governor.

Qin Han was implicated by Sheng Xuanhuai and was stripped of his position as vice president of the bank.

He stayed at home for the time being, feeling a little depressed.

At this time, the Qin family ushered in a new turning point, and the third Qin Hanxu finally appeared!

This guy participated in the League in Japan, and also participated in the Guangzhou Uprising and the Xinhai Revolution, but fortunately did not die and became Song Jiaoren's assistant.

You must know that Song Jiaoren was a fierce man, and he had a lot of influence in the early years of the Republic of China, and he could almost compete with Sun Yat-sen, and almost became the president of the Republic of China, otherwise he would not have been assassinated.

Qin Hanxu went home and was warmly welcomed by the Qin family.

He hasn't come back for ten years, and everyone else has almost forgotten him, only the old lady Qin Zhang, who wiped her tears when she thought about it.

Qin Di glanced at the third uncle from afar, and did not eagerly come over like a few cousins, because he didn't want to enter politics and was not optimistic about the third uncle's revolutionary career.

Just imagine, even Song Jiaoren was assassinated, what will happen to the future of the third uncle?

In Qin Di's heart, he has no interest in being an official, and he has no interest in participating in the Qingbai Party.

Several cousins were in high spirits, and they hated to follow their uncle to make a revolution, but they didn't know the difficulties of the revolution, and they even wanted to throw their heads and spill their blood.

On the first day of Qin Hanxu's homecoming, Old Man Qin gathered everyone and welcomed him with a lively banquet. The next day, the boss Qin Hanliang invited him to the restaurant.

On the third day, the second Qin Hancheng entertained him at his home.

Father and third uncle talked, and Qin Di listened beside him.

Qin Hancheng lamented that he was unemployed, and he was very bored to stay at home all day.

Qin Hanxu said: "Second brother, I know the overseer Chen Qimei, I can help you say a word, go back to work, it's not a big problem." If you give a little more gift, maybe you can take it to the next level. ”

Qin Hancheng was a little moved: "Really, how do you know Lord Overseer?"

Qin Hanxu sat up straight and said, "I've seen him a few times in Japan, and I'm quite familiar with each other. ”

Qin Di pondered beside him, thinking about this Chen Qimei.

Chen Qimei is very controversial, he is the sworn brother of Mr. Jiang Da, and his two nephews are the famous Chen Lifu and Chen Guofu.

Chen Qimei was praised by Sun Yat-sen as "the person who made the first contribution to the revolution" and "the only pillar of our party"; at the same time, he was also scolded as a "rogue politician" and "the leader of the Green Gang", because he assassinated Tao Chengzhang, Tao Junbao, Xia Ruifang, and Zheng Rucheng one after another, and even Song Jiaoren's death had something to do with him, and he himself was assassinated by others in 1916.

Since Qin Di has made up his mind not to interfere in the historical process, he doesn't want his father to get acquainted with Chen Qimei and have too deep a relationship with the other party, otherwise if something happens, he may be forced to make a move.

Therefore, he suddenly interjected: "Dad, in my opinion, you don't go to the bank to be the vice president of Narauszi." If you are constrained to work for others, it is better to help in your own company. The business of the grain bank must be managed, and the grandfather's yarn factory must also be assisted. If these two businesses want to become bigger, they have to contact foreign merchants to keep the cost down. This kind of thing, grandpa and uncle can't do it, you have to come. ”

The grain bank's capital reached 300,000 US dollars, equivalent to 500,000 oceans, and it could buy 5,000 tons of grain at a time, which was almost enough to load a ship.

In those days, there was a huge disparity in food production between countries around the world. For example, during the Republic of China, Chinese farmers worked hard for a year and harvested an average of 1,400 kilograms of grain, while in the United States it was 20,000 kilograms, 14 times higher than China. Even within China, there is an imbalance, for example, in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, where there is very little land owned by individuals, and in the northeastern region of Manchuria, where grain production has increased dramatically due to the development of a large amount of land.

Therefore, if the sources are widespread, it is easy to find lower prices and reduce the purchase cost.

This requires someone like Qin Hancheng to come out, after all, he studied in the UK, is proficient in English, and has worked in a bank for more than ten years, so it is appropriate to do this kind of thing.

Qin Hancheng listened to his son's words, "hehe" laughed dryly twice, and did not express his opinion.

Qin Hanxu felt very surprised: "Hey, my nephew is not simple, he can be the master of the second brother! I heard that Ah Di has not been enrolled in school so far, what is going on?"

Qin Di smiled: "It's useless to read. ”

Qin Hanxu was a little surprised, and slapped the table suddenly: "What is this called? What else can a child do if he doesn't study?"

Qin Di asked rhetorically: "What is the purpose of studying? The third uncle studied in Japan, which university did he finish studying, and did he finally graduate?"

Hearing this, Qin Hanxu's neck shrank, stared at him, and said nothing! Because he was halfway through college, he went to make a revolution and did not graduate at all.

He was asked by his nephew, he was a little depressed, and said with a wry smile: "You are young, like the newborn sun, how can you be like me?"

Qin Di smiled slightly, and then asked, "Third Uncle, you have been outside for many years, you should be married, right?" Why don't you bring the third aunt back?"

Qin Hanxu was taken aback: "What nonsense are you talking about! I didn't get married." ”

Qin Di said with a smile: "Although I am young, I have longing wisdom and know how to read fortunes. Third uncle, don't hide it, say it quickly, so that my dad can help you. ”

Qin Hanxu shook his head tightly: "No is nothing." You don't want to talk nonsense!"
